Ridley’s Believe
It Or Not For January 24, 2016, 362 days to go in President Obama’s pathetic lame duck term. If you have not seen the
movie 13 Hours: TThe 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 Sunday’s holidays and observances, music links to
Eddie Fisher and Neil Diamond; factoids of interest, a relevant quote from Phyllis
Shaffley, looking forward to enjoying a plate of lobster thermidor, 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
