Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For November 25, 2019 For those who yearn for bloated government, reports
are out the Elizabeth Warren’s budget busting proposals call for the creation
of 20 new federal agencies to add to those already sucking the lifeblood out of
our economy (when will Pocahontas and her fellow Blues realize that a trillion
here and a trillion there will devastate our economy?); Deval Patrick, former
two term black governor of Massachusetts and former partner of Bain Capital and
late entrant to the presidential race, has sounded the alarm that hating Reds
and business are not good ideas for Blues as he proclaims he is a Democrat and proud
of it and espouses that being moderate is not the solution to our problems
(with Blumenthal and Patrick now in Biden can kiss his black support goodbye);
Trump may have had his balloon deflated after the inane Schiff Circus as a
court has ruled that ex-White House lawyer Don McGahn must answer a
Congressional subpoena (DOJ will appeal ruling); Sanders has lashed out at
Bloomberg claiming the billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy elections (in
his world leftist billionaires like George Soros can but not moderate albeit
being pulled to the left nannies like Bloomberg); while the Schiff Circus is
preparing its impeachment report, a top Democratic strategist Doug Schoen is
asserting that impeachment will be an electoral college disaster for the Blues;
free speech took a hit when SCOTUS refused to hear a defamation case brought by
a liberal “climate change scientist” at Penn State the National Review sought
to have dismissed; Iran is playing the Great Satan card to diffuse domestic
unrest as thousands of Iranians are protesting in the streets over rising gas
prices and trotting out Revolutionary Guard General Salamini who is threatening
to destroy us and our Middle East allies (déjà vu of Xerxes having his slaves
lash the incoming tide in the Hellespont to stop it); in another Nero like
moment Pelosi continues to play the impeachment fiddle while she sits on
bringing USMCA and its job creating benefits to the floor to spite Trump; in
Chicago with a new interim police chief as of November 24, 2019, 2516
have been shot, of whom, 426 have died; Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s
population, is coming in second place in the amount of gun deaths as 311s have
been murdered, a number which exceeds all of last year’s fatalities (when will
Chicago and Baltimore get serious about this carnage or is this the case of
true racism as a Blue run city turns a deaf ear and a blind eye to the
slaughter of people of color by people of color and when will the left focus on
the problem of color on color shootings in Blue run cities which have been more
deadly and more numerous than random mass shootings?
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and
observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical link
to Maria Carey, the fact you support protogenists and a relevant quote on
not opposing evil by Pastor Martin Neimoller, secure
in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events
like Father’s Day, college graduations, birthdays, weddings,
or anniversaries, you know that the Alaskanpoet can provide you with a
unique customized poem at a great price tailored to the event and the
recipient. You need only contact me for details.
1. International Day for the
Elimination of Violence Against Women—created in 199 by the UN
to combat the violence against women which if by men is a case of true
cowardice.
2. Shopping Reminder Day—as Black Friday sales and
the bargains associated with them are being pushed further and further in front
of Thanksgiving time to set aside this day to create your gift list and the
identify what gifts to what recipients.
3. 1990 Number 1 Number One Song— the
number one song in 1990 on this day on a run of 3 weeks in the position was “Love
Takes Time” by Mariah Carey. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkDpwF6-QiA
This very successful singer continues to churn out money making albums and philanthropic
checks.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “protogenist”
which means an inventor whom we need more of than politicians, bureaucrats or
lawyers.
5. Her Name Lives On--celebrating the birthday
on this day in 1986 of Amber Hagerman who tragically was kidnapped while riding
a bicycle at an abandoned grocery store parking lot in Arlington, Texas on
January 13, 1996 and her body was found 4 days later. An autopsy revealed she had
been killed 2 days earlier after being sexually abused. Sadly her perverted killer
has never been found but the Amber Alert adopted in her memory has resulted in
the arrest of numerous kidnappers, saving numerous children from her fate.
On this day in: a. 1947 a group of directors and screenwriters after being held in contempt by HUAC were “blacklisted” by Hollywood movie studios.
b. 1963 the body of President John F. Kennedy was
buried at Arlington National Cemetery while on the same day the body of his
killer Lee Harvey Oswald was buried in Shannor Rose Hill Memorial Burial Park
in Dallas, Texas lyN i80 a fire broke out in the MCM Grand in on that
day misnamed Paradise, Nevada, killing 87 people and injuring 650 to become the
worst fire in Nevada’s history.
c. 1986
Attorney General Edwin Meese announced that proceeds from covert arm sales to
Iran were illegal transferred to the Contra rebels fighting the communist Sandinista
government in Nicaragua.
d. 1992 the Federal Assembly
of Czechoslovakia voted to split the nation into 2 separate entities The Czech
Republic and Slovakia.
e. 1999 a 5 year old boy Elian Gonzalez was
found by a fisherman floating off the coast of Florida after the boat carrying him,
his mother and other migrants fleeing Cuba sank. He was repatriated to Cuba
against the will of relatives in the U.S. after SCOTUS refused to hear an appeal
from the 11th Circuit ordering his return to his father in Cuba.
Reflections on the Hollywood
Ten: “In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up
because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak
up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t
speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me – and
by that time no one was left to speak up.” Pastor Martin Niemoller, Dachau,
1944 Fortunately for him he was only held at Dachau until liberated by the Allies
in 1945.
