Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 27, 2019 The rhetoric
in the Swamp has gone totally over the top with Botox Nancy slamming Bill Barr
for being a rogue AG and MSM pundits already convicting Trump of impeachment
and demanding Barr recluse himself (saner heads among the Blues have totally
disappeared and disgruntled idiots like Flake claiming that 37 Red Senators
want to vote in favor of impeachment); no one among the Blues falsely
condemning Trump for breach of our national security over Ukraine are considering
the effect impeachment will have on China, North Korea, Iran and Russia whose
readings of the tea leaves must be Trump will soon be gone and we need not come
to the table on issues between us and the United States and kiss any trade deal
with China goodbye); now sure if Tulsi Gabbard was taken to woodshed by Botox Nancy
but she has shifted her view of impeachment; the whistleblower who may have
surpassed Strzock and Paige in their efforts to derail Trump’s presidency has
not been identified nor his or her sources but the NYT has reported that the
whistleblower works for the CIA, the stomping grounds of rabid Trump hater John
Brennan (odds that Brennan is licking his chops with fist in air yelling “Gotcha”);
as much as sane people would like to get rid of Nadler they are now faced
with a Hobson choice is a district that
is probably Blue-safe—support his primary challenger who is AOC on steroids in
terms of her leftist policies and keep the devil they know (if only there was a
Red candidate that might have a chance to help end this nonsense); once again
an unelected federal judge nominated by President Obama has thorn a serious
monkey wrench in enforcement of our immigration law by granting an injunction
forbidding Trump form licensing private facilities as detention centers to hold
illegal children for more than 20 days; the CDC in a study of the spike in respiratory
related hospitalizations has warned that the problem may be related to vaping
products with THC; Botox Pelosi was momentarily sidetracked from her impeachment
vendetta against Trump to rail against the Red state legislatures for imposing
restrictions on abortion claiming Republicans are against basic morality; on
the religious front chalk a victory up for Christians who received an
injunction in their favor banning the State of Michigan’s refusal to permit faith
based adoption agencies to ban adoption by same sex couples; Hong Kong is
bracing for a weekend of massive protests over China’s increasingly oppressive
rule; in Chicago through September 25, 2019, 2102 have been shot of whom 361
have died; and in Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population, 254 have
been murdered in Baltimore (when will Chicago and Baltimore 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 people of color by people of color and
when will the left focus on the problem of color on color shootings in Blue run
cities which have been more deadly and more numerous than random mass
shootings?
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and
observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical link
to Perry Come and Russ Case and His Orchestra, the fact that you are not posh, and a relevant
quote on the use of pesticide on our genetic heritage by Rachedl Carson, secure
in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events
like Father’s Day, 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

1. World
Tourism Day—celebrated by the United Nations World Tourism Organization to
promote tourism as a means of economic growth and increased understanding among
the peoples of the world.
2. National BRAVE Day—created
by SweetLife in 2017 and celebrated on the 4th Friday in September

other women who are suffering tragedies to be BRAVE to get through the tragedy.
3. 1945 Number One Song— the
number one song in 1945 on this day on a run of 10 weeks in the position was “Til
The End Of Time” by Perry Como and Russ Case and His Orchestra. Here is a
recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5tHXmagmq0. Time
ended for Perry on May 12, 2001 in his sleed at the age of 89.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “posh”
which means in this case not rich and luxurious but nonsense which may describe
those who spend too much on luxurious,
expensive goods.
5. Full Range Guy—celebrating the birth on
this day of noted singer Marvin Aday, better know to his fans as Meatloaf, a
nickname coined by his high school football coach for his weight whose full
range of notes blew a recording fuse which resulted in a record contract; during
his career he has sold over 50 million records.
On this day in:
a. 1908
the production of what would become millions of Model T cars commenced at the
Ford Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit.
b. 1956
Colonel Apt became the first person to break Mach 3 speed in a Bell X-2 plane
but the thrill was short-lived as the plane quickly went out of control and
crashed, killing him.
c. 1962 Rachel Carson’s book Silent
Spring was published which proved to be great for Pelicans being devastated
by the use of DDT in agriculture but a disaster for fighting malaria due to outcry
over the use of DDT.
d. 1999 the final game of the
Detroit Tigers was played at Tiger Stadium in Detroit where the Detroit Tigers
beat the Kansas City Royals 8-2.
e. 2001 in Zug, Switzerland, Freidrich
Leibbach entered a Parliament building, killing 14 people and wounding 18
others before killing himself because
his twisted mind thought he was being persecuted.
Reflections on the effect of pesticides
and our genes: ”For mankind as a whole, a possession infinitely more valuable
than individual life is our genetic heritage. . . Yet genetic deterioration
through man-made agents is the menace of our time . . .” Rachel Carson, Silent Spring (Chpt. 13, p. 186)
