Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Continuing her campaign venue choices Hillary Clinton spoke this afternoon in Philadelphia on the campus of Temple University (student population 36,000). Almost all of Secretary Clinton’s primary campaign rallies have been held on college campuses in the past two weeks. Most likely reasoning = it’s a captive audience.
Temple U has a student population of 36,000. Philadelphia has a population of 1.57 Million. Today’s Clinton rally drew a few hundred attendees (being generous):

Donald Trump has released the following statement regarding the latest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. New York, New Jersey and Minnesota:
“In the past 48 hours, our law enforcement showed again that, without them, our country is neither safe nor secure. I am grateful for the quick action of law enforcement in capturing the terrorist responsible for Saturday’s bombings, and the off-duty police officer for stopping the terrorist in Minnesota. This weekend’s attacks, from Minnesota to Manhattan, are just the latest to be carried out on U.S. soil under President Obama. These should be a wake-up call for every American. (more…)

Mike Pence heads to Iowa today and candidate Donald Trump heads to Southwest Florida. Within hours of announcing the Fort Myers event at the 8,000 seat Germain Arena, the tickets were sold out. This rally will define the arena capacity.
The campaign attempted to find another, bigger, venue, but the area just didn’t have one available. Over the weekend tickets were being sold on-line up to $200/each. There is massive enthusiasm for Donald Trump in SW Florida. The rally is scheduled for 3:00pm EDT with activity sure to go live much earlier:

*Update* Several hours after posting this research, Paul Combetta began scrubbing all of his social media and comment sections. However, everything is archived. U.S News and World Report has picked up the story. – SEE HERE– Sources also indicate DC congressional leadership and staffers are now fully aware. This story is about to break wide open, thanks to the excellent work of the New Media, citizen journalists !…..
A rather stunning discovery has been made by a researcher named Katica who uncovered a July 24th 2014 Reddit thread started by Platte River Network executive Paul Combetta who -at the time- was requesting technical advice on how to strip a “VIP (VERY VIP)” email address from archives stored on a server he has “full access to“.
BACKSTORY – Last week Paul Combetta plead the fifth and refused to answer questions before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. According to Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz, the following email exchange occurred between Combetta and another undisclosed Platte River Network staff member back on 8/19/15:
“Wondering how we can sneak an email in now, after the fact, asking them [the Clinton camp] when they told us to cut the backups and have them confirm it for our records. Starting to think this whole thing is really covering up some shady shit. I just think if we have it in writing that they told us to cut the backups then we can go public with our statement saying we’ve had the backup since day one when we were told to trim to 30 days would make us look a whole lot better.”
Platte River Network used BleachBit to remove all traces of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails. As mentioned Paul Combetta refused to answer any questions from the committee.
However, today a rather remarkable discovery adds additional intrique to this historical series of events. A researcher named Katica, discovered the Reddit identity of Paul Combetta as “stonetear“.
