Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 18, 2016 Only 52 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 chilling reminder that the homeland is not safe several
unexploded bombs were recovered after two bombs went off in NYC and New Jersey
injuring dozens but fortunately killing no one and another radical Islamist
stabbed nine people in at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota which has had
significant problems with Somali refugees (yet both Hillary and Obama want to
increase the number of refugees from Syria by 500 percent); a black police
officer with 17 years on the force has filed suit against Obama, Hillary, BLM and
Al Sharpton for inciting a race and attacks on police (where would we be
without our lawyers?); Florida State was destroyed by Louisville; Stanford beat
USC and will face UCLA at home next Saturday; and the Rams open at home in Los
Angeles.
As Trump
is trying to become more presidential, going to www.lyingcrookedhillary.com is a great way to start your day
along of course withwww.alaskanpoet.blogspot.com and reading Clinton Cash would be a great
read to understand the quid pro quo mentality of the Clintons.

On this day
in:

Numbers) was formed to coordinate the maintenance and procedures of databases

Advice that Hillary should really listen to as her email scandal
continues to dog her campaign: “If you're trying to hide something, you wouldn't keep getting away with
it for 10 years. Nobody is that clever.” Lance Armstrong Unfortunately
Hillary has been successful in hiding but finally her past and present appears
to have caught up with her. Please enjoy the poems on
