On the
crime front in Lewiston, Maine Robert Card’s vehicle and his car phone have
been recovered along with a revelation that he had a small arsenal in his home
as the massive search goes on for someone believed to be mentally ill. The
manhunt has come to an end as his body has been found to the relief of
residents being advised to shelter in place by police.
On the Hamas Israel War
front, a massive increase in tank artillery bombardment and air strikes
likewise increasing as the IDF appears to be conducting another incursion into Gaza as the internet
and cell towers in Gaza have been shut down making it very difficult for Hamas
to communicate with its units.
On the Hamas Israel War
humanitarian crisis front, the United Nation’s General Assembly has
overwhelmingly voted for a ceasefire to enable humanitarian supplies, such as
food, water, medicine, and fuel which the Israelis know will be used to power the generators needed to make the
tunnels livable. On another humanitarian crisis front, the IDF alleging the
largest hospital in Gaza—the al-Shifa Medical Complex has military facilities underneath
it and therefore is a valid military
target which if as Hamas claims is not the case should open up the tunnels for
international inspection.
On the Hamas Israel War protest
front college campuses across the nation are enduring pro-Palestinian
anti-Israel rallies which have turned violent with more and more Jewish
students fearing for their safety.
On the illegal alien invasion
front, Texas has finally had enough as bills will soon be passed to grant Texas
authorities the right to arrest and deport illegals, something that the federal
government has refused to do under Biden. Do not be surprised if the DOJ and
groups like the ACLU oblivious to the damage being done to our cities and towns
by the tidal wave of illegal immigration coupled with the deadly consequences
of deadly illegal drugs coming across our borders file actions to enjoin the
Texas’ proposed acts(The poll numbers in New York indicating the growing
concern over illegal aliens and dissatisfaction over its handling by public
officials should result in a real Blue wave even if weakened by Trump being on
the ballot).
On the political censorship front,
noted Democratic strategist James Carville, the Ragin’ Cajun who has been rightfully
worried about Biden’ old age and low polling numbers has been advised by top
Blues to cease expressing his concerns
Chicago like many cities
overwhelmed with illegals, sleeping in O’Hare, parks and sidewalks is proposing
an illegal alien encampment in the Brighton Park neighborhood only to be met by
a firestorm NIMBY outrage.
On the sports front,
President Bush threw out the first ball in the first game of the World Series
between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers which befitting his
former owner ship status was won Texas 6-5 in the 11th inning.

October 27 Historical Events in Rhyme
1. On
this day in 2019 the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant founder and Leader Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi detonated his suicide vest/As U.S. was closing in on him
to make an arrest/The world shed no
tears, only wept for joy/Save for the fact his 3 small children were snuffed
out of their lives to enjoy.
2. On this
day in 2018 in Pittsburgh during Shabattea1979 South Korean President Park
Chung Hee, after taking over the government in a military coup in 1961 and
elected as President in 1963/To result in economic growth known as the “Miracle
of the Han River/To for South Korea rapid increases in wealth and the stand of
living deliver/but with growing dictatorial powers/Causing South Koreans from
the early morning knock at the door cower/was assassinated by Kim Jae-gyu, the
South Korean CIA head/Another example that fear of oppression trumps monetarily
in life getting ahead.
3. On day in 1958 the Earth became a
smaller place/When Pan Am’s first 707 flight from NYC to Paris signaled the beginning of jet planes to
piston ones replace/In business where time is money and for vacations where
time in the air reduces the vacation days/To travel long distances by flying
jets were the only way.
4. On this day during the Hungarian
Revolution in 1956 in the towns of Mosonmagyaróvár and Esztergom civilians were
killed by the Hungarian secret police/While rebels held strongholds in Budapest
and revolt against Soviet rule was on the increase/But Molotov Cocktails and
few rifles against tanks and the well-armed Soviets had little chance/As the
Soviets would not allow in Eastern Europe democratic rule to advance/In 12
short days it was over and 250,000 Hungarians to the West fled/Leaving behind
13,000 Hungarians wounded and some 6,000 dead
5. On
this day in 1955 after all Allied troops had Left Austria’s lands/And to avoid
military alliances that would escalate military conflicts quickly out of hand/
The Declaration of Neutrality signed to military alliances to be signed never/A
word in diplomacy seems absurd but for 68 years to a military ally Austria has
not been tethered.
Elvis Presley’s song
“(There’ll Be) Peace in the Valley (For Me
dedicated to the Hungarian Revolution which was quickly banned by the
Soviets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TUFoHrqI0Q
