Ridley’s
Believe It Or Not For September 13, 2016 Only 57 waning days
to go until the only polls that matter close for Trump to continue his pivot
before we elect a new president; HRC’s campaign has been rocked with a one two
punch of her calling half of Trump’s supporters “deplorables” and the furor of
trying to deceive the American public over her collapse on Sunday at a 9/11
Memorial event; rumors spreading that
the DNC may be exploring a Plan B to replace her as unanswered concerns over
her health continue to mount http://alaskanpoet.blogspot.com/2016/09/trump-needs-bigger-basket-as-hrcs.html;
Trump’s campaign has just released a great slogan “We need a bigger basket,” and
is starting to introduce on stage before his rallies some of his “deplorables”;
Iran is rattling sabers and threatening to shoot down American surveillance
aircraft flying in international waters in the Persian Gulf; Clinton aide Paglioni
stiffed Congress by failing to appearing and three Platte River employees refused
to answer any questions by taking the fifth while the FBI was served with a
subpoena to release all its files on its Clinton investigation; the world is
waiting with baited breath to see what leaks WikiLeaks will be releasing on
HRC; as the scandal on pay to play at the Clinton Foundation continues
unabated, Bill Clinton the recipient of millions of dollars in speaking fees from
organizations with business before the State Department is lamely mounting the “Lance
Armstrong Defense” by claiming the Clinton Foundation does good work; on the
sports front the Los Angeles Rams opened the season away in San Francisco and
were skunked 28-0 as Colin Kaepernick was totally booed when he was inserted into
the game; on the terror front and a chilling reminder of why refugees from
Syria need to be thoroughly screened and vetted if not totally prohibited German
police arrest three young men posing as refugees who were sent to Germany by
ISIS for the express purpose of carrying out terrorist attacks.
As Trump is trying to become more
presidential, going to www.lyingcrookedhillary.com
is a great way to start your day along of course with www.alaskanpoet.blogspot.com
and reading Clinton Cash would be a
great read to understand the quid pro quo mentality of the Clintons.
