Color me shocked. As Fox reports, a San Pedro, CA man was minding his own business, tending to his garden, when he looked over at his 89 year old neighbor’s two-bedroom apartment and saw TWO HUGE STACKS OF 2016 BALLOTS! All 83 ballots had different names going to the same address of this 89 year old woman who lives alone.
The man who found the ballots, Jerry Mosna, took them to the Los Angeles Police department, which directed him to the Post Office. Not confident in the USPS’s ability to get to the bottom of anything, Mosna’s neighbor, John Cracchiolo called the LA County Registrar’s office. The office of the Registrar had this to say:
“We are carefully reviewing our records and gathering information to fully identify what took place. Our preliminary assessment is that this appears to be an isolated situation related to a system error that occurred causing duplicate ballots to be issued to an address entered for a single voter. We are working directly with the system vendor to ensure the issue is addressed and to identify any similar occurrences.”
Whether or not this is an isolated incident (it’s not), keep your eyes peeled for shenanigans over the next 5 days.
This is a minor piece of news amongst a sea of Kobe beef, but interesting nonetheless. Today’s Podesta Email dump revealed yet ANOTHER example of cheating at the Town Hall Debate.
THIS MAY BE IT: Fox’s Brett Baier, upon word from a source deep within the FBI, reports that the book “Clinton Cash” kicked off a massive 2015 investigation into the Clinton Foundation – and in particular, Pay to Play. Remember, five days ago Chris Wallace NAILED an increasingly nervous Robby Mook over the Clinton Foundation. Mook sat there with his carnival face.
The day after the Chris Wallace interview, the FBI reopened the email case against Hillary Clinton. Mook’s grilling and and the Clinton Foundation news was dropped like yesterday’s cold soup. I was afraid this was the cover – the Clinton play to get the Clinton Foundation off the headlines.
Not only has the FBI Vault Twitter account been releasing all sorts of interesting and cryptic breadcrumbs lately relating to the Clintons, we have a high level CIA guy (Tom Clancy wrote about him), who was Former Dep. Sec of State under Kissinger, Vance and Baker, who served Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush I, with degrees from Cornell, Harvard, and M.I.T., shedding light on the situation.
As you may have seen already, Brett Baier’s source within the FBI has basically confirmed that things are majorly going down right now, and indictments should follow.

Shares of Facebook (FB) are getting hammered after hours following CFO David Wehner’s warning to analysts that one of their principal sources of income, advertising revenue, may “come down meaningfully” in 2017 due to “ad load,” and that they may also come up short in Q4 2016.
What is “ad load” you might ask? It’s a nice way of saying that there’s a level at which customers are so turned off by advertisements that they stop using the site.
“They have reached the limit of the ad frequency on news feed, so they are going to have to find revenue growth from other areas like pricing, user engagement, user base growth” said Edward Jones analyst Josh Olson.
Compounding next year’s anticipated revenue hit, Facebook plans to aggressively spend on more engineers and data centers in order to ramp up growth and capacity.
On the bright side, Facebook actually posted an otherwise solid quarter. EPS came in at $1.09/sh (.97c est), and the social media giant tacked on a 55.8% rise in q/q revenue, up to $7.01 billion ($6.92B expected). Mobile advertising accounted for 84% of Facebook’s total ad revenue in Q3, up 6% from a year earlier.
Pro-Trump hackers, possibly even 4chan himself, began initiating DDOS attacks across the US today in advance of a 6PM (EST) press conference with Trump’s rape accuser. For those of you who don’t know, Lisa Bloom – Gloria Allred’s daughter, is trotting out a desperate hail mary for the left from a woman who claims Trump raped her with Jeff Epstein. Trump’s accuser’s story is full of inconsistencies and backpedaling, and I expect this PR stunt to fail miserably.
In response, hackers have been peppering the internet with attacks today, including Lisa Bloom’s website, and they have something special planned for this saddest of circuses.
@0hour1__ is a hacker whose track record of prediction is hit or miss, however I believe in this case he’s dead on. I guess we’ll know shortly.
