Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For September 29, 2016 Only 41 waning but vitriolic days to
go until the only polls that matter close for Trump to continue his pivot
before we elect a new president; Comey came under attack yesterday for granting
immunity to top Clinton aide Cheryl Mills for obstruction of justice as Clinton
aides wiped her server clean after the House issued a subpoena to preserve all
documents (no wonder the vast majority even almost Blues believe Clinton is
untrustworthy-- http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/09/29/reps-clinton-aides-who-got-immunity-deals-directed-email-scrubbing.html);
Trump is gearing up massive ad buy as millions are now flowing into his
campaign); Libertarian Gary Johnson has another Aleppo moment his mind “froze up
in another Aleppo moment during another interview with MSNBC not being able to
name his favorite foreign leader (as we get older not uncommon to have a “senior
moment” but one wonders if Larson was having another “weed moment”); in a desperate
to energize her campaign and lackluster millennial
support Clinton and Sanders were campaigning together in New Hampshire while a
First Lady who has class (as opposed to when it comes to the appearance of pay
to play a potential First Man who does not) was campaigning for Hillary); we
all know that smoking is lethal for your
health but so evidently is vaping as El Cajon police shot and killed a black
man suffering from mental problems caught on video pointing a vaping device at
police; the campaign when it comes to issues than people really care about like
jobs and safety is aping the death spiral of Obamacare as Clinton blatantly
doubles down on the sexist card with a 20 year old alleged claim of bullying by
a former Miss Venezuela against Trump who is also alleged to have threatened to kill
a Venezuelan judge who indicted her boyfriend for attempted murder (about the
same time ago as Bill Clinton was having his sexual relations with Monica
Lewinsky and Hillary was lashing out against “bimbos”); on a final and more
optimistic note time to pray for the Cardinal as they meet a very talented
Washington team in Seattle this Friday—Go Stanford!
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.
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s
holidays and observances, a music link to Les Paul and Mary Ford,
factoids of interest for this day in history, a relevant quote from Hugh Jackmans,

mocha below), blessed with a positive attitude and secure in the knowledge

1. National Coffee Day—for caffeine addicts this is your day as many coffee
chains are giving away free coffee, free coffee with food purchase or
discounted prices to celebrated the day (the 600 pound gorilla is not but
Starbucks will donate a coffee tree for each coffee purchase to fight the
blight caused by coffee rust).
2. World Heart Day—created by the
World Heart Federation not to shame lawyers especially divorce ones or
litigators that are perceived as being without a heart but rather to promote
awareness of the causes of heart disease which kills near 20 million people a
year worldwide.
3. 1953 Number One Song—celebrating the number
one song in 1953 on a long run of 11 weeks in that position “Vaya Con Dios” by Les
Paul and Mary Ford. Here is a recording of Les Paul and Mary Ford performing the
song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqZ0Sdz_V40
4. National Mocha Day—celebrating that classic coffee

5. Angels And Singing Cowboys—celebrating the birth on this day in 1907 of the “Singing Cowboy” Gene Autry who after an illustrious career in Westerns went on to buy and bring the California Angels to Anaheim.

On National Coffee Day reflections on a unique
aspect of coffee: “To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is
one of the greatest inventions. Hugh Jackmans,
