Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For November
2, 2016 Only
7 waning but increasingly vitriolic and
hypocritical days to go until the only polls that matter close; Trump in
Florida before packed audiences slamming HRC on the issues like Obamacare while
she continues to play the women’s card in a really spiteful and almost deranged
manner, the momentum continues to move in Trump’s favor; Lynch and Comey met
behind closed doors on the FBI investigation of her emails and the 650,000
stored on Weiner’s server (ironic as HRC wages a war on Trump as dangerous to
women we have her husband and her trusted aide’s husband as classic examples of
sexual predators); WikiLeaks clearly established the complete lack of integrity
of CNN in its leaks of debate questions to Brazile; WikiLeaks established that
Podesta is just as corrupt as his boss Hillary Clinton as a DOJ lawyer warned
him of an investigation of her private email server (to no one’s surprise he
immediately alerted Clintonites of the need to “dump” the emails which they did
after receiving a Congressional subpoena; it would appear that the Clintons
have known about the pervert Weiner’s sexting since 2011 but did nothing, probably
because it would ruin the narrative that Hillary is for women; on the sports note the Cubs trounced the
Indians last night to force a game 7 in the World Series tonight.
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
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and
observances, a music link to Stevie Wonder, factoids of interest for this
day in history, a relevant quote from
Warren G. Harding, while looking forward to enjoying a plate of deviled
eggs, blessed with a positive attitude and secure in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift

1. International Day to End Impunity for
Crimes Against Journalists—created in 2011 to encourage the conviction
of those who assault and murder journalists.
2. National Epitaph Day—celebrating the proposition that a
boring headstone on a grave site robs the resident therein of true immortality.
3. 1985 Number One Song—celebrating the number one song in 1985
on a run of 1 week in that position “Part-Time Lover” by Stevie Wonder. Here is

4. National Deviled Egg Day—celebrating a great way to spice up
your egg intake.
5. A Return to Normalcy—celebrating the birth on this day in 1865 of Warren
Harding, the first president to visit Alaska and who unlike Clinton and Trump
campaigned for the presidency largely from his front porch but like Bill
Clinton was somewhat of a sexual predator and even fathered a child with his
mistress and after his death his administration like Clinton’s was mired in
scandals that then came to life.
On this day
in:
a. 1898 cheerleading was introduced
at college football games by Johnny Campbell at the University of Minnesota.
b. 1917 Britain, the same nation that created Iraq out of three antagonistic groups, the Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis, published the Balfour Declaration which promised a homeland in Palestine for Jews but also promised the right of non-Jewish residents would be respected. Sadly we have witnessed almost 100 years of chaos in Palestine.

c. 1920 radio station KDKA in
Pittsburgh became the first radio station to begin commercial broadcasting; its

Reflections on having normalcy which has been totally MIA in this election season:"America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration.” Warren G.
