Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For
January 28, 2019 The illegal alien supporter queen announced her candidacy appropriately
in sanctuary city Oakland where the mayor of Oakland warned illegals of an ICE
raid promising Medicare for all but not revealing the trillions we could not
afford it would cost or the deterioration in medical care it would entail;
Harris’s fallacy of the effects of an insecure border came into clear focus as
13 people ODed from fentanyl with one person dying that a wall might have
prevented; fortunately for Florida residents, Andrew Gillum was defeated in his
run for governor as the ethics watchdog in that state has found probable cause
that he violated 5 out of 6 ethics complaints against him for taking lobbyist
funds for trips and other personal expenses (if true this man deserves a lengthy
prison sentence and the Democrats in that state should be castigated for
picking a man of such dubious character to run as governor); on the climate
change front the Midwest is being hit with temperatures falling well below
freezing and snow hitting the Northeast and the South; on the 2nd
Amendment front a good Samaritan with a pistol stopped a man driving on the
Massachusetts Turnpike with a man holding on for dear life that he had tried to
run over (amazing bit of judicial lenience as the driver who has a lengthy rap sheet
was released on $500 bail); ex-Starbucks CEO Howard Schulz is contemplating a
run for president as an independent which would be a disaster for the Blue
wanna-bes; the Trump organization is in the immigration news for hiring and now
firing illegal aliens with false green cards and social security cards at its
golf courses (e-verity and guest worker visas are the solution to this problem).
As always, I
hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, music links to Mario USA Africa, factoids of
interest for this day in history, the fact that you will not need someone
well versed in oneirodynia and a relevant quote from Jackson Pollock on
abstract art, 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. Data Protection Day—created by the European
Union in 2005 to create awareness of and promote the use of best practices in
the field of privacy and data protection.
2. Thank a Plugin
Developer Day—created by Word Press in 2009 to celebrate the creation of 4,000
plugins, a number which has risen to over 54,000 today.
3. 2005 Number One Song— the number
one song on this day in 2005 on a run of 9 weeks in that position was “Let
Me Love You” by Mario. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H64QG4UsrGI
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of
the day as we move from words beginning with “n” to words beginning with
“o” is “oneirodynia” which means the study of nightmares which in the
political arena we will not need as leftists like Warren or Sanders will
probably not get their party’s nomination.
5. To Drip To Death—celebrating the
birth on this day in 1912 of noted abstract art painter Jackson Pollock whose
drip technique was spectacular but who battled alcoholism and died far too
early in a single car accident into a tree while driving drunk on August 11,
1956.
On this day in:
a. 1915 to the future joy of
mariners and the future bane of drug traffickers the Congress established the
U.S. Coast Guard.
b. 1960 the National Football League
announced the expansion of the NFL to add Dallas for the 1960 season and Minneapolis-St.
Paul for the 1961 season.
c. 1977 the first day of the 3 day
Great Lakes Blizzard that dumped up to 100 inches of snow in Upstate New York
on this day and with gale force winds created snow drifts of 30 feet.
d. 1985 USA Africa recorded the 20
million selling hit We Are the World to
raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AjkUyX0rVw
e. 1986 the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated shortly after takeoff
killing all aboard.
Reflections
on abstract art: “Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a
reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn’t have any beginning or
any end. He didn’t mean it as a compliment, but it was.” Jackson Pollock
