On the
aping North Korea “brainwashing front” HRC in another failing attempt to be
relevant on CNN was pushing for the “ formal deprograming” of Trump supporters
and is rightfully being castigated and ridiculed by conservatives but probably
praised by leftists who admire authoritarians like Stalin.
On the Trump fraud trial in
New York front as the trial ended its
first week, Trump was unsuccessful in his motions to delay the trial but was
successful in staying the Judge’s orders revoking his various organizations’

On the race to name a new Speaker

Noted Holidays: World
Cerebral Palsy Day, cofounded on this day in 2012 by the Cerebral Palsy
Alliance (Australia) and the United Cerebral Palsy to raise awareness of this childhood
affliction of the brain that impairs
motor functions and to raise money for cure and treatment modalities.
Word of the Day: The word
of the day as we end the word of the day starting with “a” to move to words
starting with “b” “balderdash” which means nonsense or a
jumble of words which describes to a tee the Word Salad Queen’s preferred
method of speaking.
Song of the Day: The number 1 song on this day in 1970
was “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Dianna Ross on a run of 3
weeks to share number 1 status with 19 other songs achieving number 1 ranking
while 20 acts, including Dinna Ross,, achieved number one status for the first
time. Here is a recording of Dianna Ross
performing “Ain’t No Mountain
High Enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjCz_sUVZ5U
October 6 Birthdays: “If You Die Too Early RIP But Have a Law Named After
You”—Jessica Lundsford, a 9 year old girl who was kidnapped, raped twice and
then buried alive by John Couey in Homosassa, Florida, born in Gastonia, North Carolina in 1995.
Couey was quickly arrested, convicted and sentenced to death, only to die in
prison while his death sentence was being appealed in 2009 from natural causes.
Outrage over her kidnapping, rapes and murder by a convicted child molester and
serial burglar resulted in the passage of Jessica’s Law in Florida mandating a minimum
of 25 years to a maximum of life for first
time child rapists and severe restrictions like electronic tracking for paroled
sex offenders, the formation of Stop Child Predators and the passage of versions
of Jessica’s Law in 46 states, although in leftist Massachusetts it is so
constrained that it has been used in only 3 cases despite numerous cases where sexual
abuse of children occurred.

Historical Events in Rhyme
1.
On this day in 2018 Brent Kavanaugh’s appointment to SCOTUS was confirmed/After
at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing allegations of sexual misconduct Senator
Feinstein sat on it for weeks until a leak to the press in September did we
learn/To turn the process into a circus with Hirono’s “Women have a right to be
heard but they must be believed” cracking the whip/As disgraced soon to be disbarred
and a felon Avenatti pushing false witnesses that had on the truth lost their
grip/The left jumped on the decades old accusations hook line and sinker/Tossing
any objectivity in judicial lynching attempt of a well-respected family man, nonmisogynist
and judicial thinker.
2. On
this day in 2010 after earlier deciding their check product was too similar to
Four Square/Instagram pivoted from check in to photos and videos to online
share/Instagram released Instagram iOS app to the Apple Store/With the number
of users to soar/And 2 rounds of financing totaling $57 million at higher valuations
to come into the cash ledger open door/On April 3, 2012 Instagram introduced
its app for Android phones which was downloaded 1 million times on the first
day/On April 9, 2012 Facebook announced a deal to buy Instagram for $300
million in cash and 23 million Facebook shares for a total price of 1 billion
bucks/ The deal closed on September 6, 2012 netting founder Systrom $400
million for a pivot decision that was pure genius or a bit of great luck.
3. On
this day in 2007 Jason Lewis after leaving London with Stevie Smith on July 12,
1994 arrived back/After completing a circumnavigation of the globe powered only
by the muscles in his arms, legs, shoulder and back /Travelling 46,505 miles in
4833 days/Lost his partner along the way/Stevie Smith in Hawaii who decided his circumnavigation would end/To continue the
journey alone or sometimes with friends/ Overcame 2 bouts of malaria, sepsis,
mild schizophrenia and 2 broken legs hit while inline skating by a DUI/But even
those events and an attack by a croc could not his successful quest deny/A
great win for the human spirit and ingenuity to obstacles circumvent/Barred
from pedaling a 178 mile segment to the Aswan Dam, he sneaked by pedaling the
distance at night.
4. On
this day in 1981 President Anwar Sadat was assassinated at the celebration of
the crossing of the Suez Canal on this day during the Yom Kippur War/That
caused his popularity and morale in the Egyptian Armed Forces to soar/But as
the tables were turned and Egyptian forces East of the Canal now trapped and
Israeli forces on Cairo very near/Convinced Sadat that peace with Israel needed
to appear/Thanks to his desire for peace and the efforts of Clinton and Carter,
Sadat and Begin on March 26, 1979/In Washington, D.C. witnessed by Carter a peace
treaty was signed/To the Palestinians and Islamic fanatics this was a mortal sin/And
followed on their vow to do him in.
5. On this day in 1979
during Pope John Paul’s first visit to the U.S./After invited by an Iowa farmer
to him American agriculture impress/his 6th and last visit was to
D.C. to meet with Carter not as diplomats but 2 Christians very devout/Then to
the Capital Mall National Mall for a Mass with him that over 175,000 would turn
out/The visit with the masses of cheering crowds a justification of his moniker
John Paul II Super Star/The first non-Italian Pope since the 16th
Century, one of the youngest and 3rd longest serving and with 129
countries visited by most travelled by far.
Quote on Anwar
Sadat by Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State:
“He was violently attacked by Arab nationalists, but
he did more for Arab nationalists by changing the image of Arab leaders in
America than they could possibly have done for themselves. I had the privilege
of negotiating the first two agreements with him, and from there he went on to
his historic trip to Israel.
Today, everyone takes that for
granted. But I don't know any expert who, 48 hours before Sadat announced that
trip, would have believed that any Arab leader would simply and unilaterally
announce himself on a visit to Israel, lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, address the Israeli Parliament, and make a breakthrough towards
universal peace in the area.
This was a move of
extraordinary strength and almost prophetic vision. That is why I call him the
greatest man that I have met. Anwar Sadat was not a pacifist. He proved that he
could fight for his convictions. He was anything but soft. He could be very,
very tough.”
