Ridley’s Believe
It Or Not For January 25, 2016, 361 days to go in President Obama’s pathetic lame duck term. If
you have not seen the movie 13 Hours: The
Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
strongly recommend you should see it—good chance you might not want to
support Hillary Clinton with a memory of the “it’s a video” claim especially
when the evidence coming out is that on her unsecure server she placed SAP
material some of which may have endangered our human intel assets in the field
and under her leadership requests for security were denied and Ambassador Chris
Stevens, “her friend” died . As always, I hope you enjoy Monday’s holidays and
observances, a music link to Joan Weber; factoids of interest, a relevant quote
from Steve Jobs, looking forward to enjoying a serving of haggis on Robert
Burns Night, blessed with a positive attitude and secure in the
knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable event like
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.
