Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For November
7, 2016 Only
2 waning but increasingly vitriolic and
hypocritical days to go until the only polls that matter close November 8; never
too late for the voters to receive more damning evidence of the corrupt sleaze
that surrounds Hillary like a cheap pant suit—Foundation paying for Chelsea’s
wedding; corporations donating to the Foundation and then being featured in the
Shanghai Expo; and finally after supposedly taking a year and a half to review
60,000 emails, the FBI announced it had reviewed 650,000 emails from that
pervert Anthony Weiner’s lap top in four days and then announced no evidence to
support its earlier July assertion that no criminal activity had occurred with
respect to the classified material (although multiple investigations are still
pending on the pay to play of the Foundation do not hold your breath as the DOJ
and Comey have been fully corrupted by the Clinton Cartel); we found out today
that Hillary’s maid and immigrant from the Philippines (could not determine her
immigration status) due to the lack of Hillary’s basic computer skills was
printing out her emails many of which contained sensitive information (and she
has the audacity to claim Trump cannot be trusted with the nuclear codes);
Trump is campaigning hard in normally Blue states today and the Blues must be
thanking their lucky stars that the Philadelphia transit strike which would have
put a huge damper on voter turnout has been settled; make sure you vote today
and better yet vote early but do not follow the adage emanating from Chicago “vote
often,” and since this may be a close one make sure your pantry has enough coffee.
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

Reflections on the internet and the mainstream media: “The advent of the Internet exposed the fact that
the old business model for newspapers was broken. The world wide web
fundamentally changed the media eco-system, challenging established
journalistic practice in what is known as the mainstream media: radio,
television, newspapers and magazines.” Lionel Barber, Lionel Barber, noted English journalist and editor of the Financial Times.
Given the advocacy bias the challenge is a good thing. Given the advocacy bias the challenge is a good thing. Please enjoy the poems on events of interest on my
