Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For October 20, 2016 Only 20
waning but increasingly vitriolic days to go until the only polls that matter
close; other than the “nasty woman” comment (true in spades but bad move) and
refusal to accept results of the election (bad move but I think like Al Gore
did in Florida, Trump would do if evidence of voter fraud found and seek
recounts and court action), Trump turned in stellar performance and Hillary came
across as she always does unlikable, scripted and deceptive and in somehow
blaming Trump for alleged hacking of the DNC and staff emails by Russia as
portraying a sign of potential desperation; the interim chief of the DNC Donna
Brazile despite new WikiLeaks to the contrary in a total unbelievable interview
denied providing Hillary with an advance question in a town hall meeting in March
(another example of ends justify the means and why the Hillary campaign will do
anything to win); in a better late than never moment after really disturbing
videos were released of Blue operative Scott Foval counseling supporters on how
to commit voter fraud and violently disrupt Trump rallies, the DNC fired him;
in another I told you so Iran is now demanding more billions from us to release
several new hostages (what about how to deal with this rogue nation does our
feckless weak president not understand and when do we start blowing their mouse
that roared navy out of the water when they threaten our ships in international
waters?).
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 and if you want some music in your
life with a little satire-- https://safeshare.tv/x/kXjbXGyQDsE

and metabolic bone disease—major problem as people age and lose calcium in
their bones making them more susceptible to falls and broken bones.
3. 1972 Number One Song—celebrating
the number one song in 1972 on a run of 2 weeks in that position “My Ding-A-Ling”
by the Chuck Berry. Here is a recording of Chuck Berry performing the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaEC-lWSlmI

40 years.
4. National
Brandied Fruit Day celebrating an interesting way for adults but not children to
enjoy fruit salad—eat in moderation and not before you drive.
5. Who Let The Dogs Out—celebrating the birth on this day in 1971 of rapper Snoop
Dogg who holds the record for the most Grammy nominations 17 without winning
one—maybe there is justice in the music world.
On this day in:
a. 1803 in another great
deal, the U.S. Senate ratified the Louisiana Purchase.
b. 1947 the House Un-American
Activities Committee began its investigation of Communist infiltration in
Hollywood.
c. 1968 former First
Lady Jacqueline Kennedy married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.
d. 1977 a chartered
plane carrying the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd crashed in Mississippi killing
three of its members.
e. 2011 in a classic
example of Hillary Clinton’s failed judgment, Libyan rebel forces captured
Muammar Gaddafi in his home town of Sirte and executed him shortly thereafter.
Reflections on osteoporosis from a great beauty: “I take a multivitamin, I take extra C, I take
chondroitin and glucosamine for my joints, I take calcium for my bones. And by
the way, weight-bearing exercises can help ward off osteoporosis and yoga helps
ward off arthritis.” Raquel Welch Sign me up yoga classes.
