Biden's CV Plan Platitudes and Plagiarisms No Action Only Shutdowns

 

Plagiarists like Biden have a fatal weakness called lack of original thought
And so has to copy others for the accolades or grades he has sought
Biden’s plan for fighting the virus is not even Trump plan version 2.01
Read his “plan” of platitudes and most of it Trump is doing in spades or already has done
Warp speed on test kits, therapeutics and vaccines with the private sector
Where Biden is out of his environment and useless as a massive project director
Testing done daily well over a million each day
Enhance to shorten significantly to the results display
Producing PPE in quantities so huge we have much to export
Has summoned Naval Hospital Ships and built CV hospitals in time so short
Pushing to reopen the schools where children like his own infected son quickly the virus shed
Calling for expanded testing and protection in nursing homes where too many thanks to Blue governors like Cuomo are now dead
Called for intelligent reopening of the country to collateral damages like OD’s or suicides to abort
Fought tooth and nail against Pelosi who wanted dollars for illegals for a workable CV only stimulus bill
To no avail as the Blues believe they can surely win if the economy is going downhill
Biden wants new Congress to come up with funding plan
While in the 90 days after election can complain Trump against virus not taking a stand
Like his new denial on ending fracking not credible he will not shut the nation down
A parting shot before the 25th enables Harris to take over from this mentally fading clown

 Ridley's Believe It Or Not October 30, 2020

      CV World Cases: The CV pandemic across the planet continues with 577,056 new cases (a 1.26%  increase compared to a .95% increase yesterday) to bring the total over  46 million to 45,,401,864, 11,673,297 of  which  are active, 34,628,567 of which have been closed with 33,429,883  recoveries (96.54% compared to  yesterday’s 96.55%) and 1,198,684 deaths (3.46% compared to yesterday’s 3.47%) to continue the trend of increased recovery percentages and decreased mortality percentages. 
        CV USA Cases: New cases of 180,314 with total cases over 9 million at 9,383,739 (a 1.96% increase compared to yesterday’s  .63% increase) with 3,091,929 active cases of which 17,163 (.56% of active cases), recently on a disturbing upward trend with slight blips from a high of 19,155 on July 23  (16,931 yesterday and 15,881 on September 1), are in serious or critical condition as trend has shifted and may be continuing to go up, and 6,291,810 closures, 235,897 of which have been deaths (3.75% compared to yesterday’s 3.77%) and 6,055,913 of which have been recoveries (96.25% compared to yesterday’s 96.23%) (our death rate percentages continue to improve and are finally in single digits since Cuomo repealed on May 10 his order sending CV positive patients to nursing homes and ADL facilities and on a deaths per million population measurement at 711 ranks behind Peru (1039), Belgium (987), Spain (767), Brazil (749), Bolivia (743),  Chile (741), and Ecuador (715),  and only slightly worse than Mexico (706), UK (685), Argentina (679) newly added to the list, Italy (639), and Sweden (587) that never closed its economy down like we did and we have now conducted 1,235,921 more tests to bring total to 144,186,274 tests (now at 434,750/M compared to Russia at 413,825/M so Trump is telling truth that we conduct more tests in number and on a per capital basis for nations (other than those nations that contain small populations like Bahrain, Denmark,  Israel, Singapore and UAE) but for the U.K. which remains off the testing charts at 492,168/M).
       Non CV Case News: The UK which leads the world of large nations in terms of per capita testing has in recent weeks had its CV cases increasing and death rate increasing such that Boris Johnson, who had recovered from CV and who must be listening to Joe Biden’s rants on Trump failings on the pandemic, is shutting down the U.K. for a month; Trump has scheduled 4 large rallies in Pennsylvania with the first one in front of a mostly masked crowd outside of thousands of cheering supporters who were also treated to a big screen projection of Biden flip flops and gaffes; Biden listening to the shrinking poll leads has emerged from his bunker probably pulled from it by his former boss Obama to hold 2 very small “gatherings” in Michigan; while Biden was urging caution and restraint against the attack that killed Osama bin Laden, Trump authorized Navy Seal Team 6 to successively mount a rescue operation to free Philip Walton an American citizen living in Niger who was kidnapped recently and taken back to Nigeria, killing several of his captors in the process (Trump’s actions on keep America safe are more than the words we would get from  Biden); parts of Beverly Hills look like cities expecting a hurricane as shop windows are boarded up in expectation of violence on Election Day (Beverly Hills police declared an unlawful assembly last night as anti-Trump and pro-Trump supporters clashed); Portland City Council has postponed its vote to cut $18 million from its police budget until after the elections for mayor and city council; Sean Connery who seemed to become more distinguished as he aged has died in his sleep at his home in the Bahamas at  age 90;On the donations race Ivanka Trump raised $4.5 billion to break Obama’s 1 day record.
        Chicago/Baltimore Gun Violence: In Chicago as of October 30,  2020, the number of shootings increased to 3,558 of whom 607 have died (total travesty of BLM when blacks are shot and killed by blacks in droves and only sounds of silence and complete absence of any protests in front of City Hall demanding action to curb the killings and shootings); Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population and hoping against all hopes that 2020 will not be a record in terms of deaths but now seems to be shooting less and killing less and is now 330 behind Chicago at 277 murders (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 way  more  deadly and way more numerous than shootings by  police or by random mass shootings which occur far much less.

         1.  Halloween—celebrated this year with very few trick or treaters and probably even fewer adult Halloween costume parties as the COVID-19 Goblin from China claims another holiday with the soon upcoming Veterans Day and Thanksgiving in its sights.
          2.  Girl Scouts Founders Day—celebrating the birth of Juliette Gordon Low on this day in 1860 who founded the Girls Guide, the precursor to the Girl Scouts, in Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912 with 18 girls and which grew to membership in the millions but which has been savaged ruthlessly by social media for having the audacity to congratulate the confirmation of the 5th woman to SCOTUS, Amy Coney Barrett.        

        3. 2004 Number One Song— the number 1 song in 2004 on a run of 6 weeks was “My Boo”  by Usher feat. Alicia Keys  to join 10 other songs that made the number 1 list with this song being Usher’s 4th number 1 in 2004 in a year in which “presidential candidate” Kanye West had his first number 1 song. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPgf2meEX1w&ob=av2e.
        4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “polypragmatist” which means busybody and describes to a tee the type of neighbor most people do not want to have. 

          5. Music Is No Defense--celebrating the birth on this day in 1967 of Adam Schlesinger, noted Emmy winning singer, musician and songwriter who unfortunately was not saved by his musical skills and died from complications of having been infected by COVID-19 after a week of being on a ventilator on April 1, 2020 at the age 52.
     
    On this day in:

        a. 1941 after 14 years of work, the statues of 4 former presidents was completed at Mount Rushmore, South Dakota.

          b. 1984 India Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the first female Indian Prime Minister and daughter of the first prime minister Jawaharial Nehru, was assassinated by her 2 Sikh bodyguards, leading to massive riots and the massacre of some 3,000 Sikhs.

         c. 2000 Soviet Soyuz TM-31 arrived at the International Space Station with the first resident crew resulting in the space station being continuously crewed since that day.

         d. 2002 a federal grand jury indicted Andrew Fastow, the Chief Financial Officer of Enron on 78 counts wife fraud, money laundering, conspiracy and obstruction of justice arising out of activities that led to the collapse of Enron.

         e. 2011 In a the Earth became a more crowded moment as its population reached 7 billion and has continued to grow to reach some 8.8 billon this October.

Fowler the Conman Is Biden Not Trump

 

His name rhymes with his biased rants of a leftist howler

For a poet like I only one good thing to note about Richard Fowler

The only conman in this race is the one who says he will hold China to account

The one who says he will bring back jobs back to America as his policies moved them out

The one who when it comes to confiscation from lawful citizens of guns
Calls out “Bingo” as lootings, riots, and shootings have put safety on the run

The one who will ban fracking and out of existence oil transition

Then scrambles to deny to fool voters so to pursue his Oval Office ambition

The one who is a plagiarist whose plan on CV save for mask mandate and shutdown has been implemented by Trump

The man who is the "Big Man for for 10 which Twitter sent to the censorship dump

That man Fowler is your candidate Sleepy and Corrupt Joe

Too bad your bias enabled this dementia stricken conman to you snow

Biden Is a Man of Empty Words Trump Is a Man of Action

 

When it comes to protecting Americans Biden is all words

To believe otherwise after he preached restraint on killing bin Laden is absurd

Trump's promise to keep America safe is a promise kept

The kidnappers of Seal rescued Philip Walton learned to regret

Under Biden, Walton, simple farmer of no great wealth or fame,

Would still be rotting in captivity or his life flushed down the drain.

Tapper Tosses Fight for Free Press into the Crapper

 

It is appropriate for poets that Tapper works for the network whose first letter means cack

His advice on banned New York Post Tweet by Twitter is subject to scathing attack

No one should ever listen to biased "journalist" Jake Tapper

His biased anti-conservative rants should be flushed down a crapper
While Tapper urged New York Post to cave

Paper held firm it had done nothing wrong to freedom of press try to save

The left at Twitter caught with their bias pants down

And Dorsey with his beard looking like a hobo Rasputin clown

Read the tea leaves of anger rising over censorship

Fear they would lose on Section 230 their immunity grip

Reinstated New York Post but this blatant attempt to influence election

Which Americans both Red and Blue must rise up in rejection

Should not let this interference with a free press let go as no harm no foul

With legislation and regulation force the social media giants to throw in the censorship towel

Austin Defunds Police and Crime Rises Off the Charts

 In Austin the felon chickens of crime are coming home to roost
The first stage of defund the police by $21.5 million is giving crime a great boost
Austin used to be a city where crime rarely was found to exist
But with officers demoralized and retiring and new academy classes shut lure of felons to commit crimes too hard to resist
Any violent crime by any measure is on the rise
Pare the thin Blue Line and rising crime should not come as a surprise
Into Austin and you see “enter at own risk” signs
Have to believe in minority neighborhoods that is not what residents had in mind
It is a tragedy that this Red State may be turning Blue
Coupled with a shedding of police, citizens will most certainly rue

October 30, 2020 Ridley's Believe It Or Not Mischief Day

 


Ridley's Believe It Or Not October 30, 2020
          CV World Cases: The CV pandemic across the planet continues with 430,369 new cases (a .95%  increase compared to a 1.75% increase yesterday) to bring the total over  45 million to 45,724,808, 11,370,206 of  which  are active, 34,354,602 of which have been closed with 33,163,598  recoveries (96.55% compared to  yesterday’s 96.55%) and 1,191,004 deaths (3.47% compared to yesterday’s 3.47%) to continue the trend of increased recovery percentages and decreased mortality percentages. 
           CV USA Cases: New cases of 57,492 with total cases over 9 million at 9,203,425 (a .62% increase compared to yesterday’s  2.21% increase) with 3,026,813 active cases of which 16,931 (.56% of active cases), recently on a disturbing upward trend with slight blips from a high of 19,155 on July 23  (16,874 yesterday and 15,881 on September 1), are in serious or critical condition as trend has shifted and may be continuing to go up, and 6,234,104 closures, 234,765 of which have been deaths (3.77% compared to yesterday’s 3.77%) and 5,999,339 of which have been recoveries (96.23% compared to yesterday’s 96.23%) (our death rate percentages continue to improve and are finally in single digits since Cuomo repealed on May 10 his order sending CV positive patients to nursing homes and ADL facilities and on a deaths per million population measurement at 708 ranks behind Peru (1037), Belgium (974), Spain (767), Brazil (747), Bolivia (742),  Chile (739), and Ecuador (712),  and only slightly worse than Mexico (702), UK (680), Argentina (672) newly added to the list, Italy (634), and Sweden (586) that never closed its economy down like we did and we have now conducted 1,281,025 more tests to bring total to 142,950,353 tests (now at 431,030/M compared to Russia at 410,170/M so Trump is telling truth that we conduct more tests in number and on a per capital basis for nations (other than those nations that contain small populations like Bahrain, Denmark,  Israel, Singapore and UAE) but for the U.K. which remains off the testing charts at 492,175/M).
           Non CV Case News: If you had any doubt that CNN and MSNBC are in the pocket of the DNC, that doubt should be erased as from them not a word of the 3rd quarter 33.1% GNP growth (“fake news” by omission); Chuck Todd is usually clueless but when he said something astute like questioning whether Biden’s campaign was taking the CV pandemic too seriously by almost shutting down completely his campaign  he was slammed by social media (the better question would have been whether concern over his mental lapses will convince voters he is not mentally fit); the family of the mentally disturbed Walter Wallace have called for justice and for calm and criticized the police for lack of training in their son’s death but indicated that murder charges were not called for; Ft. Lauderdale police arrested Junior Alexander Cabral, 28, and Vladimir Cabral Cuevas, 20 for stealing mail, including ballots, from a mail drop box in Ft. Lauderdale; Lemon bolstering his similarity to a car that is totally flawed and breaks down repeatedly after it leaves the lot, compared Trump supporters to drug addicts (and to think this biased “journalist” intones that bias as news daily); waive goodbye to the idea of journalists standing up for the freedom of the press as Cack News Network “journalist” Jake Tapper intones that the New York Post should cave into Twitter’s demands it delete its banned tweet on Hunter Biden’s e-mail scandal; even though being ignored by the MSM, Bobulinski is the perfect whistle blower who should be believed as he has contributed for years to Democratic candidates and is not some conservative ideologue (great that Ro Khanna, a Blue Representative has indicated as a recipient of his contributions he will defend him from the media and political smears; after starting to defund the police, Austin is joining the ranks of cities with retiring and demoralized police forces and rising violent crime rates; in a Marxist “we will hang the last capitalist with the rope he sold us”  déjà vu, Silicon Valley techies are donating more money to Biden than they did for Clinton; while many public schools are banning in person teaching Governor Newsom’s kids are going to private schools which are not under such restrictions
          Chicago/Baltimore Gun Violence: In Chicago as of October 29,  2020,   the number of shootings increased to 3,540 of whom 605 have died (total travesty of BLM when blacks are shot and killed by blacks in droves and only sounds of silence and complete absence of any protests in front of City Hall demanding action to curb the killings and shootings); Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population and hoping against all hopes that 2020 will not be a record in terms of deaths but now seems to be shooting less and killing less and is now 328 behind Chicago at 277 murders (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 way  more  deadly and way more numerous than shootings by  police or by random mass shootings which occur far much less.
        As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical link to “Baby Boy“ by Beyonce feat. Sean Paul, the fact that you do not experience excessive polypnea after a run and a quote from RAF Wing Commander H.R.Allen on the bombing of Dresden, secure in the knowledge that if you want to send 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. Please contact me for details.
         1.  Mischief Night—celebrated first in England on 1790 as a night to commit pranks and mischief on one’s neighbors, hopefully by not doing any serious physical damage to property. 
         2.  National Publicists Day—created by the Jordanna Stephan on October 29, 2015 to honor the work of publicists with a date to celebrate being October 30, which is the anniversary date of the first press release written by Ivy Lee who is known as the “Father of PR.” The profession can be a make or break for a company trying to get its products and services accepted by the market place or to cope with adverse news or promote favorable news.        

       3. 2003 Number One Song— the number 1 song in 2003 on a run of 10 weeks not continuous was “Baby Boy”  by Beyonce feat. Sean Paul  to join 10 other songs that made the number 1 list and joining 9 other songs that made the number 1 list for the first time. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ucz_pm3LX8  Beyonce, a 39 year old singer and actress was formerly the lead singer for Destiny’s Child  and is one of the more successful singers in terms of number of record sales. Sean Paul, a 47 year old Jamaican born reggae and dancehall musician has had many of his albums nominated for Best Reggae Album.
       4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “polypnea” which means rapid breathing which describes to a tee what a good workout will do for your respiration. 

        5. Like a Chip Off the Block--celebrating the birth on this day in 1981 of Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s second child and first Jewish member of a First Family by way of conversion and a successful business woman and Special Advisor to President Trump.
     
    On this day in:

          a. 1941 in what would prove to be a life line to Great Britain President Roosevelt approved $1 billion under the Lend Lease Program.

          b. 1961 in the ultimate Soviet airbrushing of history moment the tomb of Stalin next to Lenin’s was ordered removed due to violations of Lenin’s precepts for reburial in the Kremlin Wall marked by a granite marker.

          c. 1985 Space Shuttle Challenger launched successfully into and returned from space in what would prove to be its last mission before it exploded on January 28, 1986, after 78 seconds into the flight, killing all seven crew members aboard, including the first civilian into space, school teacher Christa McAuliffe. 
         d. 2005 the Dresden Fraukenkirche destroyed in the firebombing of Dresden in 1945 and the rubble left as a war memorial in East Germany was reconsecrated after a 13 year rebuilding effort that started after German reunification.

          e. 2014 Sweden became the first European Country to recognize the Palestine State.
      
 Reflections on the 3 day incendiary bombing of Dresden, clogged with refugees fleeing from the Red Army: “The final phase of Bomber Command’s operations was far and away the worst. Traditional British chivalry and the use of minimum force in war was to become a mockery and the outrages perpetrated by the bombers will be remembered a thousand years hence” Wing Commander H.R. Allen of the Royal Air Force.

October 29, 2020 Ridley's Beleive It Or Not International Internet Day

 Ridley's Believe It Or Not October 29, 2020

          CV World Cases: The CV pandemic across the planet continues with 780,007 new cases (a 1.75%  increase compared to a 1.20% increase yesterday) to bring the total over  45 million to 45,294,439, 11,166,285 of  which  are active, 34,128,454 of which have been closed with 32,949,919  recoveries (96.55% compared to  yesterday’s 96.52%) and 1,185,535 deaths (3.47% compared to yesterday’s 3.48%) to continue the trend of increased recovery percentages and decreased mortality percentages.
           CV USA Cases: New cases of 199,032 with total cases over 9 million at 9,203,425 (a 2.21% increase compared to yesterday’s  .68% increase) with 3,000,263 active cases of which 16,874 (.56% of active cases), recently on a disturbing upward trend with slight blips from a high of 19,155 on July 23  (16,801 yesterday and 15,881 on September 1), are in serious or critical condition as trend has shifted and may be continuing to go up, and 6,203,163 closures, 234,084 of which have been deaths (3.77% compared to yesterday’s 3.80%) and 5,969,079 of which have been recoveries (96.23% compared to yesterday’s 96.20%) (our death rate percentages continue to improve and are finally in single digits since Cuomo repealed on May 10 his order sending CV positive patients to nursing homes and ADL facilities and on a deaths per million population measurement at 706 ranks behind Peru (1037), Belgium (962), Spain (762), Brazil (746), Bolivia (742),  Chile (736), and Ecuador (712),  and only slightly worse than Mexico (698), UK (676), Argentina (672) newly added to the list, Italy (631), and Sweden (586) that never closed its economy down like we did and we have now conducted 1,474,814 more tests to bring total to 141,669,328   tests (now at 426,123/M compared to Russia at 406,181/M so Trump is telling truth that we conduct more tests in number and on a per capital basis for nations (other than those nations that contain small populations like Bahrain, Denmark,  Israel, Singapore and UAE) but for the U.K. at 486,496/M).

         Non CV Case News: Maybe the 50% or so of voters who are Trump supporters were turned off by a Rasputin like homeless like Jack Dorsey ranting about not censoring conservatives as daily users fell and the stock in after market trading fell 17.5%, Biden and Trump both campaigned in Tampa with a small group of cars in a drive in theater occasionally honking support when prompted to for Biden and a large, large cheering crowd who waited for hours to support Trump who touted the 33.1% annualized recovery in the 3rd quarter as being the V shape he predicted ( if Biden wins good chance the V will morph into a M, going down for a long time); CV cases are on the rise and Biden is blaming Trump for the deaths and touting his plan which other than national shutdowns and mandatory mask wearing has already been implemented especially in tests, in development of vaccines and therapeutics and manufacture of medical equipment needed; Joe and his family members are circling the wagons around the Hunter Biden email scandal and refusing to answer any questions because the allegations are “smears” and they are secure in their belief that the MSM will continue to bury the story to protect Biden; Rapper Lil’ Wayne had a successful meeting with Trump on Trump’s Platinum Plan to improve black neighborhoods to be slammed by social media (at least this rapper of small frame has more stature than 50 Cent who folded when ex girlfriend Chelsea Handler invoked a Lysistrata on him when he indicated he was voting for Trump); Celebs are up in arms against Gruesome Newsom for his announced restrictions on Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings which is great that they are turning on this failure but not blasting him for his total and abject failure to provide for a timely and needed response for unemployment checks for record number of jobless claimants; as CV cases rise off the charts, B of A announced it was ending its hazard pay supplemental payments to employees raising some questions whether it would still honor its pledge not to lay off any employees during the CV pandemic which is now spiking big time.
          Chicago/Baltimore Gun Violence: In Chicago as of October 28,  2020,   the number of shootings increased to 3,530 of whom 603 have died (total travesty of BLM when blacks are shot and killed by blacks in droves and only sounds of silence and complete absence of any protests in front of City Hall demanding action to curb the killings and shootings); Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population and hoping against all hopes that 2020 will not be a record in terms of deaths but now seems to be shooting less and killing less and is now 326 behind Chicago at 277 murders (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 way  more  deadly and way more numerous than shootings by  police or by random mass shootings which occur far much less.
        As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical link to “Dilemma“ by Nelly feat. Kelly Rowland, the fact that you are not bombarded with polyphloisbic sounds and a quote from Scott Carpenter on the return of John Glenn to space, 
secure in the knowledge that if you want to send 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. Please contact me for details.
  
       1.  International Internet Day—celebrated first on this day in 2005 to commemorate the first computer to computer transmission of data on ARPANET on this day in 1969 launching  the internet age  to quickly become off to the races but sadly for conservatives soon to be saddled with the baggage of social media censorship which quickly came to be added.
           2.  
World Stroke Day—created by the World Stroke Association in 2006 to promote awareness of the dangers of strokes and the steps people should take to avoid them especially in view of the fact that our potential new president Biden with his history of aneurisms may be a prime candidate.        

         3. 2002 Number One Song— the number 1 song in 2002 on a run of 10 weeks not continuous was “Dilemma”  by Nelly feat. Kelly Rowland  to join 6 other songs that made the number 1 list and joining 4 other songs that made the number 1 list for the first time. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyOtiz4o7i0 Nelly, a 46 year old rapper started his career in 2000 and had some minor brushes with the law and a tax lien of $2.6 million but is still performing today. Kelly Rowland rose to fame with the all female band Destiny’s Child and has been pursuing successfully a solo career.

          4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “polyphloisbic” which means roaring or noisy which probably describes to a tee most Trump rallies as opposed to Biden’s where one hears the tepid sounds of silence. 

          5. Only Final Riot Is Quiet--celebrating the birth on this day in 1955 of Kevin DuBrow the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Quiet Riot who died quietly alone of an overdose of cocaine, painkillers and alcohol on November 19,2007 at age 52.
     
    On this day in:

         a. 1960 after the Cal Poly Football Team boarded their chartered plane for a long depressing flight back to San Luis Obispo after losing to Bowling Green 50-6, the plane crashed shortly after takeoff killing 22 of the 48 aboard, cancelling the rest of Cal Poly’s season.

          b. 1998 Senator John Glenn returned to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery to become the oldest person at age 77 to go into space and better yet return alive to talk about it.

          c. 2008 Delta Airlines merged with Northwest Airlines reducing the number of legacy U.S. airlines to 5 and most likely reducing legroom given the reduced competition.
         d. 2012 Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast causing some $70 billion in damages and killing 148 directly and 138 indirectly and leaving millions of people without power for weeks.

         e. 2015 China announced the end of the policy of one child which probably saved an unimaginable number of female first born babies.
     
  Sendoff to John Glenn’s historic at age 77 return to space on the Shuttle Discovery: “"Good luck, have a safe flight and ... once again, Godspeed, John Glenn." Mercury Astronaut Scott Carpenter, the second American to orbit the Earth repeating what he had wished John Glenn on his first flight.

How To Turn a Trump V Recovery Into a Biden Recession M

 

Trump has predicted after the CV economy fall  the recovery chart would be like a V
And the third quarter numbers of an annual 33.1% growth showed how right he proved to be
Growth results either ignored by the MSM or Biden discounting the results
When claiming he could do better is to our intelligence insult
If Biden is elected the V recovery would be charted like an M
A quick slide back into further recession once more again
And when if it bottomed after all Biden’s total lock downs
Most likely flat lined as we waited months upon months for a heavy regulated high tax economy to turn around
Biden on coronavirus deaths continues to Trump blame
Ignores the Blue governors like Cuomo who for nursing home deaths should be shamed
His plan to fight CV is more tests, no reliance on China, spending on PPE and mask mandates and shutdowns to proclaim
Apes Trump who with warp speed has tested more, produced more ventilators and PPE, accelerated vaccine path, freed us from China, encouraged masks and development of drugs to CV effects tame
Nothing like Joe to plagiarize as he has done in the past to pass off Trump’s plan as his own
While ignoring his total shutdowns will put and keep us in a deep recession zone

Border Commissioner's Tweet On Wall Effectiveness Gets His Account Blocked

 Social media CEO’s testifying before the Senate fears of censorship did not allay

Despite Dorsey’s intonations they don’t censor Twitter’s acts showed full censorship of display
Mark Morgan, Commissioner of the Border Patrol had his Twitter account blocked
For the reason that should make Reds and Blues outraged and shocked
Morgan tweeted the wall helps stop “gang members, murderers, sexual predators, and drugs from entering the U.S.”
Twitter said it was hateful conduct maybe their mantra is in their sick biased minds
Scratch the surface and only good, humane, illegals wanting a better life you will find
On appeal the Iron Curtain censors favoring the left beat a quick retreat
No longer will the truth form the Border Patrol trying to get to public be subject 
to defeat
Social Media is a utility that should be a right granted to all
Just because Tweet is from government or conservatives should not be blocked or stalled
These air brushers of history intoned liberals and conservatives are subject to their identical algorithmic rules
Yet could not name a liberal blocked as they must think we are like sheep, total fools
Social media with its inane leftist slant on censorship is now public enemy number one
Their efforts must be defeated or our fragile democracy built on free speech is done

          CV World Cases: The CV pandemic across the planet continues with 527,432 new cases (a 1.20%  increase compared to a 1.03% increase yesterday) to bring the total over  44 million to 44,544,732, 10,795,747 of  which  are active, 33,758,975 of which have been closed with 32,582,911  recoveries (96.52% compared to  yesterday’s 96.51%) and 1,176,074 deaths (3.48% compared to yesterday’s 3.49%) to continue the trend of increased recovery percentages and decreased mortality percentages. 
       CV USA Cases: New cases of 60,807 with total cases over 9 million at 9,004,393 (a .68% increase compared to yesterday’s  1.09% increase) with 2,941,172 active cases of which 16,801 (.57% of active cases), recently on a disturbing upward trend with slight blips from a high of 19,155 on July 23  (16,6126 yesterday and 15,881 on September 1), are in serious or critical condition as trend has shifted and may be continuing to go up, and 6,124,047 closures, 232,459 of which have been deaths (3.80% compared to yesterday’s 3.81%) and 5,891,588 of which have been recoveries (96.20% compared to yesterday’s 96.19%) (our death rate percentages continue to improve and are finally in single digits since Cuomo repealed on May 10 his order sending CV positive patients to nursing homes and ADL facilities and on a deaths per million population measurement at 701 ranks behind Peru (1034), Belgium (951), Spain (758), Brazil (742), Bolivia (740),  Chile (732), and Ecuador (710),  and only slightly worse than Mexico (694), UK (672), Argentina (656) newly added to the list, Italy (627), and Sweden (586) that never closed its economy down like we did and we have now conducted 4,769,881 more tests to bring total to 140,194,814   tests (now at 422,175/M compared to Russia at 402,390/M so Trump is telling truth that we conduct more tests in number and on a per capital basis for nations (other than those nations that contain small populations like Bahrain, Denmark,  Israel, Singapore and UAE) but for the U.K. at 481,538/M).
        Non CV Case News: Jack Dorsey looking like with his scraggly beard, he was auditioning for the latest Rasputin part, testified before the Senate today defending Twitter’s censorship of the NY Post article on Twitter’s censorship of its article on Hunter Biden and with a straight face indicating that Twitter does not censor conservatives (an “Iron Curtain” far more dangerous that the real one Stalin placed around Eastern Europe); the City of Brotherly Love was anything but that after another night of looting and rioting over the shooting death of Walter Wallace which also featured 12 shootings, 2 of which were fatal and prompted another curfew to try to stem the violence (the body cams and audio of the shooting will be released which hopefully will defuse the anger and looting); the myth of mail-in voting as being safe continues to be put to the test as another postal worker, this one in Kentucky, has been charged with dumping ballots in the trash; Hurricane Zeta has risen to a Cat 2 and is preparing to make landfall in Louisiana to bring massive rainfall to an area already hit by hurricanes and massive amounts of rainfall; in another example of the private sector prodded by Trump to move on CV a warp speed, Kroger has announced a national rollout of CV antibody rapid tests (already we are testing at phenomenal rates and the rapid antibody tests will be icing  on the cake); in a way to prevent businesses from hiring low wage skilled technical people to replace high wage Americans, Trump is revising the HB-1 Visa Program to prioritize higher wage applicants; Chelsea Handler may no longer be funny and getting up in her years in her 40’s but hot enough to do a political Lysistrata on Rapper 50 Cent to have him pull his support from Trump and support Biden (50 Cent watch your net worth free fall if Biden wins); Space X is scheduled to launch a rotation crew of 3 Americans and 1 Japanese for a 6 month stay at the International Space Station on November 14. 
       Chicago/Baltimore Gun Violence: In Chicago as of October 26,  2020, the number of shootings increased to 3,520 of whom 602 have died (total travesty of BLM when blacks are shot and killed by blacks in droves and only sounds of silence and complete absence of any protests in front of City Hall demanding action to curb the killings and shootings); Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population and hoping against all hopes that 2020 will not be a record in terms of deaths but now seems to be shooting less and killing less and is still 328 behind Chicago at 274 murders (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 way  more  deadly and way more numerous than shootings by  police or by random mass shootings which occur far much less.
        As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, factoids of interest for this  day in history, a musical link to “I’m Real (Murder Remix)“ by Jennifer Lopez feat. Ja Rule, the fact that you can be polyphiloprogenitive and a quote from Louis Gohmert on the Cuban Missile Crisis, secure in the knowledge that if you want to send 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.

          1.  International Animation Day—created by the International Animation Association, a member of UNESCO, in 2002 to honor the creations of animators and to promote the acceptance of animated films which today are almost always computer generated.            2.  Statue of Liberty Day—celebrating this day in 1886 when the Statute of Liberty after being reassembled from 214 crates and moved to Bledloe Island (renamed Liberty Island in 1956) was dedicated.        

         3. 2001 Number One Song— the number 1 songs in 2001 on a run of 2 weeks was “I’m Real (Murder Remix)” by Jennifer Lopez feat. Ja Rule to join 13 other songs that made the number 1 list and for Ja Rule joining 11 other songs that made the number 1 list for the first time. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjx9oSJDAVQ This 51 year old actress, singer and entrepreneur with an inappropriate nickname of “J-Lo” as she is probably one of the more influential Latin artists practicing her craft and currently engaged to A-Rod. Ja Rule a rapper has had some success but also time in prison for weapons charges and tax evasion.

       4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “polyphiloprogenitive” which means very prolific which is trait many artists possess and many politicians do not unless it relates to raising campaign funds. 

         5. Open the Gates to Prosperity--celebrating the birth on this day in 1955 of Bill Gates who is probably Harvard’s most famous dropout and who with Paul Allen founded Microsoft which is the largest software company in the world and making money hand over fist, a tremendous amount of which Gates through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation puts to great philanthropic causes like malaria eradication around the globe.

         On this day in:

     a. 1993 in a how to leave on a high note Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Pathétique premiered in St. Petersburg 9 days before Tchaikovsky’s death.

       b. 1922 Benito Mussolini and his fascists marched on Rome to take over the government to start the march for Italy to fight.

        c. 1948 to the bane of Pelicans and other egg laying wild fowl, George Hermann Muller was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for his 1939 discovery of the insecticidal properties of DDT which would be used to eradicate mosquitoes.

         e. 1968 in a move toward tolerance, Pope VI promulgated Nostra Aetate wherein the Catholic Church would recognize non Christian religions.
     
  Reflections on the Cuban Missile Crisis, a state of events we should pray the world never ever comes to again: “Most people give Kennedy a passing grade, a good grade on the Cuban Missile Crisis handling, but what they don't realize, if he had had strength, if he had showed strength before, there would never have been a Cuban Missile Crisis.” Louie Gohmert, Red Representative from Texas
