On the international day of
nonviolence, October 2, 2023, poet and social activist for good Ryan Carson was
stabbed to death in full view of surveillance cameras with his girlfriend
waiting for a bus and fortunately the suspect on camera 18 year old Brian
Downing has been arrested for murder. What an absolute waste and what a total
failure of parenting is involved.
On the 4th day of
Trump’s trial for overstating his financial assets brought by “Trump’s an
illegitimate president Leticia James” Trump’s defense team played clips of her
campaigning on that bogus charger while Judge Eragon has order Trump and his
associates to compile a list of all assets and banned any transfers or assets
without prior notice to former Federal Judge Barbara Jones who is monitoring
Trump’s businesses. Trump’s team has also filed motions to dismiss the January
6 obstruction of the election results.
On the Matt Gaetz as the prime
minister of the Grand Duchy of Renwick front, the mouse that roared with 7 mice
puppets and toppled a Speaker backed by all but eight of the majority party now
says he is amenable to rules changes on the vacating the speaker process and to
all surprise said he would support either Jordan or Scalise (Jordan is so
valuable as Chairman of the Judicial Committee it might be a big blow if he
were to become Speaker unless his number 2 is up to the task).
On the Woke Transgender
front, finally some sanity in the idiocy of students not being required to use
the bathroom of the sex on their birth certificate shown by the Pennsylvania's Perkiomen Valley School
District which after outrages students not happy with the idea of girls sharing
bathrooms with TG’s with all their male tools reversed that policy and now
require it’s not your gender you feel but the one on your birth certificate
that determines what toilet you must use.
On air travel front from
Bangkok to Taipei, all airlines like slogans to the passengers entice so here
is one for Viet Jet Air—“Noah’s Ark Jet” as in the main cabin an otter and
albino rat were running loose and in baggage below mixed with the luggage on
landing in Taipei— a box containing 28 live turtles, a snake, one marmot, two
otters and two other rodents of unknown species.
On the pro football a middle
linebacker Dick Butkus much by offensive running backs feared for his 8 playing
years has finally met a runner of old age he could not tackle to stop at 80 in
dreams of past glory old age ran over Dick Butkus and left him lying there
dead.
On the open southern border
another state is doing what the federal government with its past lies of the
border is secure is complete MIA and stepping to the plate, Alabama is sending
275 Alabama National Guardsman to the Texas border.
On the transgenders in women’s sports where
they do not belong, the women’s swim team when informed that a male transgender
would be joining the team, the women in a show of unity stood their crowd and
stated the transgender did not belong on the team and the university if it
persisted would have a swim team of one person and the transgender did the
right thing and resigned from the team.
On the education front the
Missouri teacher Brianna Coppage who was put on administrative leave after her
school district discovered she had and Only Fans account and wanting to pursue
a career in pornography in order to spare the students any controversy took the
high road and resigned.
On the presidential front look the tension
continues to grow to see if RFK, Jr. will announce his third party candidacy
which would be sweet revenge for the DNC that moved Hell and high water to
sabotage his campaign against Biden and almost certainly insure a Red win in
2024. October 5, 2023 Michael P. Ridley aka The Alaskanpoet

Historical Events in Rhyme
1.
On this day in 1988 in a plebiscite/56% of Chile’s voters denied Augusto
Pinochet a presidential 8 year continuation right/Pinochet’s reign was a reign
where opponents disappeared/Over a million Chileans fled to escape the disappearing
fear/Indicted on violations of human rights but released/Never spent a day in
prison before at 91 his heart ceased.
2. On
this day in Chicago in 1982 in a chilling look into the future at deaths we
would face/31 million Tylenol bottles were recalled due to 7 deaths due to
cyanide the pills were laced/Despite a massive FBI search for the lacers sought/
No one who laced the bottles has ever been caught/Sadly today with fentanyl we
face a déjà vu/illegal and prescription drugs laced with deadlier fentanyl as overdoses
grew.
3. On
this day in 1970 the Public Broadcasting System was founded/For the purpose of
bringing commercial free programing to viewers astound/ Educational programing
that would not have commercial support/To programs like Sesame Street to
watch Big Bird with other puppets comport/Now under some complaints the
programs have a liberal slant/Now often the targets of conservative rants.
4. On
this day in 1962 the first James Bond movie by the works of Ian Fleming inspired/Dr.
No starring Sean Connery and Ursula Andress as the first Bond Girl was
released in Britain to start 26 sequels that the public would never tire/ Even though
Bond played by Craig expired in No Time to Die/ Fans should not be
surprised that the producers with a new Bond flic with a new James Bond will to
the theaters soon supply.
5. On this day in 1947
to prove a video is worth 1000 words on the radio or in print President Harry
S. Truman made from the Oval Office the first address/With a devastated Europe
suffering from destruction and food shortages distress/To urge that American conserve
food to eat a little less/ So the food challenged Europeans would have some
more calories to ingest.
Quote on James Bond Movies by Grant Imahara, noted American
electrical engineer and roboticist whose work has been featured in such film
series as Star Wars, Jurassic Part, Matrix and Terminator: “When
I was a kid, I never wanted to be James Bond. I wanted to be Q, because he was
the guy who made all the gadgets. I guess you could say that engineering came
naturally.”
