183rd post
CONTINUED FROM THIS MORNING....
....But I believe Aunt Lottie (the oldest), my Father (did he quit Bridgewater
High School to work and help with his Mother's support?) and Aunt Juanita
had to help with money to help support Grandmother and the house. My
Uncle Ray and Aunt May (who are twins and too young to work, but later on,
she worked at Mick or Mack and helped her husband, Uncle Jack at a store
in Montezuma (just about a mile west of Dry River on State Route 257) and
Uncle Ray (Father said he was the best door hanger he ever saw) worked
as a carpenter for my Father in his construction business just like his Father
(my Grandfather)....
TO BE CONTINUED....
Hillary Clinton
"Considering Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign against President Barack
Obama and Donald Trump's recent polls figures cited by The Washington
Post, the Republican presidential nominee has a bigger voter issue
than females, blacks, Hispanics and young voters: the Catholic vote.
The paper reported the relative shift of Catholics from the Republican
candidate in '12 to Hillary Clinton now is more than any other
demographic currently.
"Catholics have long been a swing vote in presidential elections, and
right now they're swinging hard for Clinton," The Post's Aaron Blake
wrote. "It's also hard to overstate just how significant Trump's poor
performance among Catholics is. That's because they comprise about
1/4 of voters in the United States (25 percent in 2012 exit polls) and are
about as big a voting bloc as non-whites (28 percent) and independents
(29 percent)."
Pope Francis and Trump notoriously feuded during the Republican
primary season in February, as Pope Francis said Trump is "not Christian"
for his views on immigration. Trump shot back it was "disgraceful" for a
religious leader to question his faith.
"If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is
ISIS's ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only
wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President
because this would not have happened," Trump said in a statement.

Donald Trump
"Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump has been cut in half in one week
in a new national poll. Clinton now leads Trump by 3 points, 43 percent to
40 percent, in the Morning Consult poll released Sunday morning.
Clinton led Trump by 6 points, 44 percent to 38 percent, just last week....
Clinton has the support of 79 percent of African-Americans, compared to
5 percent of black voters who back Trump. Trump also trails Clinton
among women, 44 percent to 35 percent. The new poll of 2,007 registered
voters, conducted Aug. 24–26, has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Quotes from brainyquote.com by Thomas Jefferson....
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate
and define you.
I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as
necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

"Tears are the summer showers to the soul." Alfred Austin
Tonight it rained so I get a brake two days in a row. I probably have time
tomorrow, I hope, to video the "the fruits of my labor", my flower gardens,
and it may take three 15 videos to cover it all.
