Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For
October 28, 2016 Only
12 waning but increasingly vitriolic and
hypocritical days to go until the only polls that matter close; scary times for
Pence as his plane landing at LaGuardia slid off the runaway but fortunately no
one was injured; the picture of the corruption surrounding the Clintons, their
Foundation and her campaign get clearer with each WikiLeaks day—Podesta’s sister-in-law
was hired by Raytheon along with two other note Clinton Foundation bundlers as
lobbyists to obtain federal contracts worth over $23 billion; WikiLeaks show
even her staff in pretty graphic terms were appalled over the creation and use
of her private server; Michelle Obama was campaigning with HRC in North
Carolina but seems to have forgotten her observation that between HRC and
Barack it was a choice “about character” (it is it really is and HRC’s
character is fatally flawed); in yet another example of why we cannot trust
anything that originates from the swamp in D.C. the fed’s statistics for deaths
from accidental shootings claimed that they had in Tennessee increased from 19
to 105 when in reality they had declined to 5, the lowest in years; Twitter is laying off almost 10 percent of its
workforce and discontinuing the Vine app; Game three tonight in the World
Series at 5:00 P.M.PT
