Ridley’s
Believe It Or Not For September 14, 2016 Only 56 waning days
to go until the only polls that matter close for Trump to continue his pivot
before we elect a new president; in a great day for American taxpayers, the
House moves to start impeachment proceedings for one of the most despised men
in this country, the arrogant and demeaning head of the IRS and serves a subpoena
on the FBI to release its files on its Clinton “investigation”; Obama, the
president whose normal reaction to an ISIS beheading is to head to the golf
course mocked Trump’s appeal to blue collar workers by claiming they could
never get on one of Trump’s golf courses; former Secretary of State Colin
Powell in leaked emails calls HRC dumb in her use of a private email server and,
to be fair and balanced, Donald Trump a “national disgrace” (but for Johnson’s
gaffe on “what is Aleppo,” he would be a refreshing alternative to Trump or
Hillary); the people who set up her
server all take the 5th (a judge would admonish the jury that no
inference can be made if a person refuses to testify but a mere mortal has to
believe these people are about as guilty as guilty can be in terms of
obstruction of justice by destroying evidence); HRC returns to the campaign
trail amid growing concern over her physical ability to be president; rumors
growing that Bill Clinton has been urging his wife to undergo a thorough
physical but she fearing leaks has refused; on the refugee/radical Islam front
in Germany a fireman was sentenced to six years in prison for setting fire to a
Syrian refugee hostel and in Britain another radicalized Muslim was arrested
for plotting to bomb Buckingham Palace and an Elton John concert; on the sports
front Russian hackers have released medical records of various star athletes
including the Williams sisters and Simone Biles; in a rare display of candor
the State Department admitted that he Iran nuclear deal deceptively rammed down
our throats by the Obama administration seems to be emboldening Iran to act in
a hostile and provocative manner toward the U.S.
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.
