Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 8, 2019 In another
wakeup call the proponents of Sanctuary Cities refuse to hear, 7 MS-13 Members,
6 of whom are illegal aliens have been charged in the brutal murder of Daniel
Alejandro Alvarado Cuellar in Baltimore County (not sure if victim was an illegal
but the news item spoke of murder being gang related); on the space front great
news for India as its Vikram lunar probe has been spotted on the lunar surface;
on news that may bolster Blue candidates pushing for student loan forgiveness,
a watchdog study reported that only 1% of applicants applying for forgiveness
were successful under a program of forgiveness for students working in public
service for ten years and making 120 monthly payments agreed to in a
forgiveness plan (most of the applicants rejected failed to follow application
procedures which the report condemned as extremely complicated); Bozo O’Rourke
under the theory that good things comes in threes has in one speech called for
red flag laws, mandatory gun buyback and a national gun registry (he fails to
recognize that bad things come in threes like three strikes which is what his
idiotic Quixote quest will endure); Antonio Brown has quickly signed with the
Patriots which should make Brady’s life much easier; Google’s climate change
conference is a do as I say not as I do disaster with numerous A-List
celebrities flying in 115 private carbon belching jets plus some luxurious
yachts to attend the three day event in Sicily (just like the law—two standards
one for the elites and the other for the deplorables); Fox News proves that its
people are tolerant and accepting of people who are LBGT as Guy Benson a Fox
Contributor married his boyfriend of 4 years in a wedding ceremony in Napa
Valley; on the falsity of we care about kids front, the California Teachers
Union has in 2019 contributed over $4 million dollars in political
contributions to fight charter schools and have become major contributors to
the Democratic Party (public schools are failing our kids while charter schools
are not); the Cack News Network was really spreading it around with its
unrelenting coverage over “Sharpie-Gate” and Trump’s assertion relying upon
earlier predictions that Alabama was in Dorian’s path (the bias of the MSM is
so off the wall that it is amazing that even their evaporating ratings can
still assemple a decreasing band of viewers); Jennifer Lopez got a taste of
what being a deplorable is like at the Toronto Film Festival by being heckled
for wearing fur promoting the movie Hustler;
just when you thought it might be safe to go into the water in France, 6
beaches have been closed due to algae breakouts that release hydrogen sulfide
gas which is lethal; Tulsi Gabbard, a Blue who has her head screwed on properly
but it the leftist sprint by the Blues probably has no chance of the
nomination, hit the nail on the head perfectly when she said an impeachment
attempt on Trump would ripe this country apart; Truth Aquatics, Inc., the owner
of the MV Conception that caught
fire, killing its 34 passengers, has filed suit to absolve itself of any
liability on grounds ship was shipshape and seaworthy; in Chicago through September
7, 2019, 1939 have been shot of whom 326 have died (bad aim by the shooters
ended as the 3 day hiatus of no one shot dying has ended) and in Baltimore with
a fraction of Chicago’s population, 240 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, a music link to Taylor Swift, factoids of interest for
this day in history, the fact that you are not a poltroon, and a relevant
quote from Doctor “Bones” McCoy on bureaucracy, 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 recipient. You
need only contact me for details.
1. International Literacy Day—created by UNESCO on October
26, 1966 and celebrated on this day since 1967 to promote literacy throughout
the world especially among the 775 million adults who lack minimum literacy
skills.
2. Physical Therapy Day—created
by the Confederation for Physical Therapy in 1966 to promote awareness of the contributions
to mobility and injury or disease recovery.
3. 2014 Number One Song— the number one
song in 2014 on a long run of 2 weeks in that position was “Shake It Off”
by Taylor Swift. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “poltroon”
which means someone who is a coward which describes the masked thugs of Antifa
to a tee.
5. When The Recording and Mixing Stop—celebrating
the birth on this day in 1989 of Tim Bergling, a noted disc jockey and music
mixer better known to his fans as Avicii, who struggled with alcohol and pain
pill addiction and finally committed suicide by cutting himself with a broken
wine bottle to bleed to death on April 20, 2018.
On this day in:
a. 1945
the partition of Korea began when U.S. troops arrive in Korea to counter the
arrival of Soviet troops north of the 38th Parallel.
b. 1966
the science fiction series Star Trek
appeared on television with its first program “T Man Trap.”
c. 1974 in a courageous move
designed to heal the nation but which may have cost him the Presidency,
President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon for any crimes committed while in
office (something Trump should do with HRC if she ever faces justice for her
illegal handling of classified material).
d. 1975 the photo of Leonard
Matlovich, a decorated Vietnam War Veteran, appeared on the cover of Time Magazine with the caption “I Am A
Homosexual” which prompted a general discharge, later upgraded to an honorable
discharge.
e. 1988 Yellowstone is closed for the
first time in history due to raging forest fires within the park.
Reflections
from a Star Trek crewmember that is right on point:” The
bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe.” – Dr ‘Bones’
McCoy, Star Trek: The Voyage Home
