Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For October
14, 2018 The fall midterms have not yet occurred and the illegal alien queen Harris
is already planning trips to Iowa, South Carolina and Wisconsin fueling
speculation that she will offer her liberal agenda to the voters in 2020; Doug
Schoen, a prominent Blue has slammed Hillary and Holder for their uncivility
remarks as being destructive of Blue chances to regain the Senate and House (he
is right as rain on that and both of them should fade out of the political
limelight); Alec Baldwin returned to SNL mocking the visit of Kanye West to the
White House in his pathetic unfunny characterization as Trump; 31 year old Atonella
Barba who competed in the sixth season of American
Idol has been arrested in Virginia for felony charges of distributing
heroin; Chesapeake, Virginia has passed an ordinance that bans anyone over the
age of 12 from trick or treating (sad commentary on the heavy hand of local
government); Portland known as the City of Roses is rapidly becoming the City
of Violence as Antifa thugs attacked a Patriot Prayer law and order demonstration
(finally instead of a hands-off attitude the Portland police intervened to
break up the attacks); on the mountain climbing front 7 climbers were killed
and 2 are missing after a storm swept through their base camp on Gurja Himel
Mountain in Nepal; 76 year old former NYC Mayor Bloomberg appeared at New Hampshire
rally, sparking speculation he will join a large field to run in 2020; Emanuel’s
announcement that he will not seek reelection has not curbed the gun violence
as through October 12, 2018, 2410 people mostly of color have been shot by
mostly people of color, of whom 401 have died (when will Chicago get serious
about this carnage or is this the case of true racism as a Blue run city turns
a deaf ear and a blind eye to the slaughter of mostly people of color by mostly
people of color).
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a music link to Soulja
Boy, factoids of interest for this day in history, the fact that you are
not a negaholic and a relevant quote from a Larry Elder on the War on Drugs, secure in the
knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events like college
graduations, 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.
1. World Standards Day—celebrated since 1970 to create awareness of the efforts of standardization
organizations to further the global economy.
2. National FRUMP Day—celebrating and honoring those individuals who are frugal, responsible,
unpretentious, and mature persons.
3. 2007 Number One Song— the number one song in 2007 on a run of 7 weeks in that
position was “Crank That” by Soulja Boy. Here is a recording of the
song:

4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move from words beginning with
“m” to words beginning with “n” is “negaholic” which means habitually
pessimistic which most voters feel when they witness the gridlock and animosity
in the Swamp.
5. Celebrating the Wizard—celebrating the birth on this day in 1910 of noted basketball
coach John Wooden whose UCLA basketball teams achieved a record 10 NCAA National
Championships as he became the first person to be inducted into the Basketball
Hall of Fame as a player and coach and who dribbled his last ball on June 4,
2010.
On this day in:
a. 1888 Louis Le Prince filmed the first motion picture Roundhay Garden Scene.
b. 1908 the Chicago Cubs won the World Series but would have to
wait until 2016 to win another World Series.
c. 1979 the first Gay Rights March in Washington, D.C. with
100,000 participants occurred.
d. 1982 President Reagan proclaimed a War on Drugs which as the
opioid epidemic ravages this nation, a war we have lost and continue to lose
until the border is secured.
e. 1994 Yasser Arafat, Simon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin receive
Nobel Peace Prizes for their role in the execution of the Oslo Accords and the
framing of the future Palestinian Self Government.
Reflections on the War on Drugs: “Once brave
politicians and others explain the war on drugs' true cost, the American people
will scream for a cease-fire. Bring the troops home, people will urge. Treat
drugs as a health problem, not as a matter for the criminal justice system.”
Larry Elder, noted conservative African-American talk show host.
