Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For November 27, 2019 Sondland has been hit with a report alleging he
sexually harassed three women which he vehemently has denied; in a reversal of
the adage of sins of the father weigh upon the son, Joe Biden is receiving
great flack and downward poll drift due to more revalations about Hunter Biiden’s
roll in a Chinese investment firm owned by the Chinese government which is
making investments in U.S. companies some of which have sensitive relations
with the U.S. military (with no investment experience just like not oil and gas
experience (this looks more and more like quid pro quo leveraging on Hunter’s
relationship with his father to the potential detriment of national security
which has Reds in the Senate demanding answers); the U.S. Cavalry in the form
of Medicare for all spending and higher taxation reality has descended upon
Pocahantas’ campaign and her standing in the Blue polls is dropping faster than
a hot rock; in something out of feudal times, two daughters of deceased Elijah
Cummings have come out in support of his long time aide against his second wife
in a crowded primary to see who will be the Blue running in a special general
election on April 28 (given Baltimore’s murder rate and the dreary litany of
problems of urban areas being represented by Blues, the voters could do much
better by having a Red represent them in Congress and city hall); in addition
to fighting a never ending war against the entry of illegals, the CBP is at the
forefront of stopping the flow of counterfeit goods, mostly made in China, and
seized $100,000 of Oral-B tooth brush heads; Michelle Presley, a school bus
driver in Auroa, Illinois, has been arrested for stopping at a convenience
store, buying two beers, and sipping from one after loading 32 students aboard
and heading to school due to a clerk who called the school bus company who
called the police who arrested her as video cameras showed her drinking while driving
the kids; AOC may be the new darling of the left and socialists with here inane
ideas faces a primary candidate in the form of Scherie Murray, a legal
immigrant from Jamaica who voted for Obama but now claims he did nothing for
the residents of her community and the “Trump has done more for African
Americans than any other politician in my lifetime”; Obama District Court
appointee Kentaji Jackson who was also interviewed to fill the seat on SCOTUS
vacated by the death of Justice Scalia has issued a stay of her order requiring
Dan McGanh to appear pursuant a subpoena before the House Intel Committee; in
Chicago with a new interim police chief as of November 26, 2019, 2523
have been shot, of whom, 428 have died as the two day hiatus of shooting deaths
has expired; Baltimore with a fraction of Chicago’s population, is coming in
second place in the amount of gun deaths as 311 have been murdered, a number
which exceeds all of last year’s fatalities (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 The Heights, the fact you do not need a proxemics because you are
pleased with it and a relevant quote on gratitude by Robert Dear justifying his
murder and wounding at a Planned Parenthood Center in Colorado Springs, 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. Blackout Wednesday—commemorating
since 2004 what has become one of the largest party days of the year as college
students return home for Thanksgiving to meet with friends a celebrate at local
bars and taverns. If one is to celebrate consider Kyft or Uber as your drvie of
choice so any driving after celebration will not turn into a permanent
blackout.
2. Adopt a Turtle Day—created by Christine
Shaw on a blog post on Found Animals promoting the rescue of abandoned or
distressed animal on November 25, 2011 which achieved observance status two
days later and was selected by this poet because there are two Ridley marine turtle
species that are endangered.
3. 1992 Number 1 Number One Song— the
number one song in 1992 on this day on a run of 1 week in the position was “How
Do You Talk to an Angel” by the Heights. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csATriX8Ed0
written by several members of the TV series The
Heights.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day is “proxemics”
which means the study for personal space a need which most humans have.
5. Cyber Bullying Just as Lethal--celebrating the
birthday on this day in 1996 of Amanda Todd born in British Columbia who met a
man online who seduced her to photograph her breasts at age 12 and then he
blackmailed her and cyberbullied her, causing her to make a videoe with flash
cards that will bring tears to your eyes. No one anwered her call for help and
she committed suicide on October 12, 2012 by hanging herself at home.
On this day in:
a. 1945
in an affirmation of American generosity, CARE was formed to send donated food packages
to the civilian population of Western Europe.
b. 1965 the nightmare in Vietnam continued as the
Pentagon informed President Johnson that to carry out planned operations the
number of troops would have to be increased from 120,000 to 400,000.
c. 1973
in a show of bipartisanship rarely since seen, the U.S. Senate confirmed Gerald
Ford as vice president 95-3 following the resignation of Spiro Agnew (the
bipartisanship continued as the House also confirmed him 387-35).
d. 1978 San Francisco Mayor George
Moscone and openly gay supervisor Harvey Milk are shot and killed by former
supervisor Dan Whte who escaped the death penalty with the infamous Twinkie
defense and convicted of manslaughter and served five years of a seven year
sentence; he committed suicide two years after being released.
e. 2015 at a Colorado Sprigs Planned
Parenthood Center, Robert Lewis Dear, Jr attacked the facility killing three
people including a police officer who responded and wounding five police
officers and four civilians before surrendering. He was found incompetent to
stand trial and confined indefinitely to a Colorado state mental institution
where he remains today.
Justification in the eye a
deranged shooted: “"In a war, there's gonna be casualties. Are you gonna
name the hundred million babies that were killed, that nobody talks about,
nobody represents them, they have no voice, but yet our Constitution says we
have the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness? I feel no guilt. I am
in a war" Robert Dear, Jr. in an interview after the Planned Parenthood
shooting in Colorado Springs..
