The Wolfes Den

Hello everybody! It sure has been pretty nice with
that touch of the Fall season creeping in at night.
There are a lot of folks coming to our area for the
Camping and Hiking and Biking Trails. The beachgoers are still around for it has been a beach kind of weather most of this year. How
many days did it get to freezing? I dont recall too many.
It is hard to think of local politics or upcoming topics that need our attention
immediately. However, the scandals from The Clintons keeping flowing like a river.
Wiki-Leaks has been forthcoming with hacked E-mails from Hillary and (her workers)
every day since last Sunday. I must say, the pieces of this puzzle sure appears easy to
figure it out. It is like a Bad Movie we seen once before, remember the Nazis? Oh, I
know Frank, dont be so Frank and hardcore like that. There is similarities to what Hillary
has tried to get over Congress, the FBI, the DOJ and even had a Supreme Court Justice
(Scalia) killed in his sleep! A healthy Man, who would have been difficult for her to pass
such orders and over-rides to make our country worse than it is. I am saying Nationally
dividing us people, throwing blame to everyone but Herself?
You know it is similar to her ways as if she were hooked on Drugs. Have you ever heard
drug users fess up to what they stole, lied or cheated you out of, voluntarily? Some do out
of shame or guilty verdict being handed down. Yet to see, not even one person convicted?
There have been 29 people who have been related to her E-mail scandals or an insider
ready to tell the truth end up dead. Look it up online. It will make you SICK to know that
even a Mafia Boss doesnt get away with murder for only so long. For all of those people
to only have in common is HILLARY CLINTON. Because she Lies, has Lied and will
continue to Lie just so maybe you are STUPID enough to believe a traitor. A person with
so much to hide, she tried to even by killing witnesses! And she still could NOT hide what
she said, what she knows. Remember she said she doesnt re-call to Congress only 26x.
Funny, she seems to remember little tid-bit BS she comes up with.Sniper fire? We were
risking our lives? Video shows that to be as false as the Easter Bunny.
One Man, (who never been fishing in his life) was shot in the head and left in a flowing
river. They say accidental drowning? Just yesterday another young man, got home late,
fell asleep and was found dead in the AM? He just signed the agreement to testify with
immunity 2 days earlier. They say, brain blood cot? They shuffled Judge Scalia to the
ground so fast, I feel certain that if they did the autopsy (which was NOT done) 1st time
ever a Supreme Court Justice was NOT autopsy since the day it was formed!
Have you ever in your life realized the DOOM severity from the outcome of the Voting
in this upcoming election? We are talking far more than just dirty words.we are
talking global threats being made today against us. We have an influx of Muslim people
wanting to change our Laws to Sharia as Law? Which they say is above all Laws?
Hello, Hillary Voters. Before you cast your ballot! Do us all a favor and do research on
the Clinton Foundation, the key players. Go through our FBI, DOJ, CIA and the IRS.
Notice the pattern of people you saw in other positions now in charge of some of the
highest positions in our Govt.? A Muslim Mayor, (might be in Michigan) has declared the
Quran the only book allowed to pray in schools. Really!
Hitler wanted the same control. To control ones mind, the rest seems easier. Because it
is written how Hillary plans to take our Gun rights to defend ourselves. And she intends
on raising the immigrant population to over 40,000 and up?
You know as a Voter, a Veteran, a Father to 3 young Adults. I do worry for the kids
NOT even Born. Let them have a chance for a Happy Life. Someday they could also be
possibly raised in a Govt. Tyranny? Boys for War, girls to rape and over-populate the
world. Its worth your time to internet the News from Russia, Iran, China, etc. it shows
you what they are concerned about from our election. Why? Because many of the most
vial, inhumane people have made promises and been bribed for favors relative to our the
safety of our Nation and its future. Hillary is NOT the only one. Please, do the Voting
justice. It is about the direction of our country. This is NOT, who cares, BS neither.
Not all roads are paved for you to see the way. But dont be foolish to GPS, when you
are starring at the wall up ahead. After you do Fact-checking as you need to see where we
are right now as a Nation. We are divided by those politicians whom was voted. Either
they LIED to you, or you are just looking for the hand-out. Whats in it for me? How
about lets lower the deficit, build the Wall, strengthen our Military, take care of our
Vet.s and before we should give any assistance to anyone Illegally here? We should feed
the homeless, build them small home, safe from the elements. Why is the USA so quick to
throw Billions of $$$ to foreign lands who dont help us in some way in return?
That question in itself, should be the reason why you Vote for Trump. No one else
stepped up to the establishment like this. If it werent for Trey Gowdy, Hillary easily
would continue the life of crime she and her family has done for 30 years. We had
enough! The time is coming. NOV. 8th , 2016. This is the Most Important Vote we may
ever be permitted to Vote-unless you Elect someone who is strong, the same plan is wrong
and will ruin America. Obamacare needs to end! You must Vote Trump to stop it!
We needed someone to face the Govt. and prove to them its gone on for way too long.

Trump Absentee Ballots Being

Americans Fear
Destroyed? Postal Worker Brags
Government Corruption Most
About Opening, Ripping Up Ballots
With Votes For Donald Trump
Forget ghosts and creepy crawlies, corruption
is what spooks Americans the most,
according to a new survey.
Americans fear government corruption more
than anything else, according to the annual
Chapman University Survey of American
Fears. More than 60 percent of respondents
reported being "afraid" or "very afraid" when
it comes to this issue.
For the study, Chapman University
researchers asked a random sample of 1,511
adults nationwide about 79 different fears
across a variety of topics, including crime,
the government, disasters, personal anxieties,
technology and more.
It may seem tricky to assign fears to an entire
country, but Christopher Bader, professor of
sociology at Chapman University, explains
that fears can build to become a nationwide
event.
"My colleagues and I have been noting the
effects of fears with regards to the regular
panics we witness in society for years,"
Bader told Seeker, "such as serial killer
panics, the Satanism scares of the 1990s or
the current scares about clowns. So I was
initially drawn to the topic to try to
understand why fear is such a regular part of
society and the real impact those fears have
upon us, even if they are 'irrational.'"
According to the survey, the top 10 fears
most Americans have are:
1) Government corruption
2) Terrorist attacks within the United States
3) Financial insecurity
4) Being a victim of a terrorist attack
5) Gun control
6) Death of a loved one
7) Economic or financial collapse

Are absentee ballots with
votes for Donald Trump
being destroyed? Someone
claiming to be an Ohio post
office employee is stirring
up a lot of Twitter users
after bragging about ripping
up absentee ballots that vote for Trump. His
tweet got the attention of Trump supporter
and actor, Scott Baio.
i love working at the post office in
Columbus, Ohio and ripping up absentee
ballots that vote for trump, the man wrote.
The tweet didnt go unnoticed by Baio, who
called out the guy and tagged Ohio Governor
John Kasich in his response.
I hope you get fired! Cheating is the only
way shell win. @realDonaldTrump Hey
@JohnKasich is this okay with you?, Baio
responded.
In messages that followed, the tweet got
more attention over the possibility that
Trump absentee ballots were being ripped up
by an employee with the United States Postal
Service. The troublemaker responded to a
series of questions and comments by other
users who accused him of breaking the law
by destroying absentee ballots. The supposed
postal worker fueled the heated exchanges
more by writing that its legal for the post
office to open voter ballots. He claimed that
he and other employees were ordered to open
ballots that came into the mailing facility.
One person cited an 18 U.S. Code 1703 as
it being a federal offense for the delay or
destruction of mail or newspapers. The
individual then told the culprit to look it up.

A Better South Walton

Russ Barley-Freeport Mayor

Sends Finalized Charter to Florida State Legislature

Please send any and all comments to

A Better South Walton (ABSW) is pleased to announce the next stage of incorporation
has begun with the submission of the completed charter to the Florida State Legislature.
Creation of the charter began several months ago as part of the overall decision to explore
solutions for the rapid expansion of South Walton. After a comprehensive feasibility study
identified the area as a prime candidate for incorporation, the charter was drafted as a next step
in determining the framework for the proposed new government.
Multiple charter workshops were held in recent months to gather feedback from the community
and incorporate key ideas into the draft charter for inclusion in the full version. Several key
components of the charter were updated to include residents ideas for improvement, such as:
Creating term limits for council members of two consecutive terms
Modifying the vice mayors term to two years
Defining the replacement process for council members who move out of their district prior to
their terms end
Modifying the required Council vote needed to levy a municipal ad valorem tax to require a
supermajority vote to levy or increase an ad valorem tax rather than to levy or change an ad
valorem tax
Limiting maximum municipal ad valorem taxes to 2.5 mills
Requiring a run off election if no council candidate receives a majority vote for a particular
seat during regular elections
Allowing council members to increase their salaries, but restricting these changes to take effect
two years after the next council election
With the charter and its submission complete, the next step on the path to incorporation is the
creation and filing of a local bill containing the charter into the legislative process by South
Waltons State Representative. This local bill will include a request for a local vote by the
residents of South Walton on whether or not to incorporate.
The suggestions made by the residents of South Walton have greatly strengthened the charter
and made pivotal improvements to the proposed governing framework, states David Pleat,
president of A Better South Walton. We are proud of our neighbors commitment to bettering
South Walton and their support in preserving and sustaining our unique way of life.
For complete details on the full charter and a summary of its key elements, both
documents may be accessed on the ABSW website.
To lend your support to the ABSW
effort, please take 20 seconds to sign
the online petition requesting the right
to vote on the issue of incorporation.
For additional information on how you
can volunteer or make a donation,
please visit A Better South Walton or
email ABSW.
About A Better South Walton:
A Better South Walton (ABSW) is
made up of a diverse group of citizen
volunteers who share a commitment to
bettering South Walton.
ABSWs mission is to seek more
effective governance and local
representation for South Walton
through incorporation to preserve and
enhance the areas unique character,
property values and quality of life.

Greetings from the Mayors Office

Hope this finds each of you doing well as we move into the Fall season
of the year!
A reminder of the Mayors Charity Ball to be held this Saturday
Night at the Hammock Bay Infinity Pool area beginning at 7:00 PM.
Food, Music, Silent Auction and Fun- Get your tickets at the City Hall
of Emerald Coast Flowers & Gifts. Proceeds go to help those families
in need during the Christmas Season. Also, the Freeport Veterans Day
Ceremony will be held on November 11 beginning at 2:00 pm where
we will unveil the latest addition of the monument the Heros Walk
and on November 12th we will be having our annual city festival
BAYFEST at the Freeport Regional Sports Park beginning at 10:00
am- 9:00 PM- Arts/Crafts/Food Vendors, Kids Zone, Disc Golf,
Fishing Tournament, Entertainment and much more go to
www.freeportbayfest.com and the event is FREE.
The multi- purpose fields at the sports complex will be closed at the
end of October for re-seeding and we ask that you please do not walk
in that area to give the grass a chance to grow. The council has
applied for FRDAP Grants to help with the renovation of the city pool
and building a new splash pad at the sports complex, hopefully we will
be hearing back in the very near future on this and other opportunities for funding for the city. A new Speed table was approved by the
council to be placed on South Jackson Street in hopes this will help
with the problems occurring with speeding on that street which makes
it unsafe for residents in that area. The city council also voted to purchase 1500 new meters and transmitters to replace in the general area
which will help cut the cost of labor as well as have a more accurate
reading of the water meters. A multi-government of Freeport, DeFuniak Springs and the county will be held on December 6 beginning at
3:45 PM at the BCC in DeFuniak Springs to discuss the infrastructure
of the 331 Corridor leading down from I-10 to the Choctawhatchee
Bay and hopefully we will be able to address the necessary funding
and ideas to complete this project. The hours of Treat or Treating this
year has been set from 5:00-8:00 PM on Monday, October 31, 2016.
Please ensure safety for your children and The Christmas Parade and
Tree Lighting has been set and this year will prove to be a new and
outstanding event for the community so mark your calendars for

Leaked Email: Clinton Campaign Plotted To Threaten

Supreme Court Over ObamaCare Ruling
Tanden, a director for Hillary, went on to strategize that the campaign would
have to make the Supreme Court aware of negative political consequences
to ruling against the government, which it could do by planting stories
about how Clinton would turn the Supreme Court into an election issue:
The message to the Supreme Court? Vote against us, and you'll regret it.
So, in sum, the Clinton campaign was colluding with the Center for American progress to get stories written about the backlash at the polls if the Supreme Court overthrew ObamaCare - and they specifically mention that
Obama's threats to the Court in 2012 helped scare off Chief Justice John
Roberts. Which appeared to work, he has been quite.
Obama did throw down the gauntlet in a sense, directly warning
the unelected Justices against an unprecedented ruling of judicial
activism. Of course, no one who closely follows the Clintons' trench warfare
style of politics should be surprised by their attempt to bully the Sup-Court.

'Doc, This Election's Killing Me!'

WikiLeaks' Assange vows to
More than half of Americans report stress as Clinton, Trump
release significant
battle for the White House
documents before US election The 24/7 coverage of the acrimonious U.S. presidential
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange pledged to publish
significant new material on the US election before the
November 8th vote, speaking on the 10th anniversary of the
online leaking platform.
Assange said there were enormous expectations in the
United States about the material and that some of that
expectation will be partly answered, with a lot of
fascinating angles in the documents.
Do they show interesting features of US power factions?
Yes they do, he said, addressing an anniversary event in
Berlin via videolink. On why WikiLeaks was holding back
for now, he added that if were going to make a major
publication in relation to the United States at a particular
hour, we dont do it at 3am, referring to the time in the
eastern United States.
He also said that we hope to be publishing every week for
the next 10 weeks, promising documents on the subjects of
war, arms, oil, Google and mass surveillance.
Assange - speaking from the Ecuadorean embassy in
London, where he has been holed up for over four years to
avoid being extradited to Sweden to face rape allegations hailed WikiLeaks for releasing 10 million documents over
the past decade, exposing state and corporate secrets.
He pledged that WikiLeaks would seek to expand its
activities with extra staff and new media partnerships, with
plans to hire 100 more journalists over the next three years.
Were going to need... an army to defend us from the
pressure that is already starting to arrive, said Assange,
wearing a black T-shirt with the word truth on it.
On the eve of the US Democratic Party convention in July,
WikiLeaks published some 20,000 internal emails pointing at
an apparent bias of its leaders for Clinton during the primary
campaign.
Assange charged that WikiLeaks was now the target of a
witch hunt orchestrated in particular by Clinton, likening it to
the repression of American communists in the 1950s driven
by then senator Joseph McCarthy. Assange said WikiLeaks
would scale up to amplify our publications and to defend us
against what is really a quite remarkable McCarthyist push in
the United States at the moment, principally by Hillary
Clinton and her allies because she happens to be the person
being exposed at the moment.
But he denied the release of documents related to the US
election was specifically geared to damage Clinton, saying
he had been misquoted. Asked whether he felt affinity with
Clintons Republican rival Donald Trump, he said: I feel
personal affinity with all human beings. Through
understanding someone, you can feel sorry for them.

election has caused stress for more than half of American

adults, regardless of party affiliation, according to a survey
conducted by the American Psychological Association
(APA).
We're seeing that it doesn't matter whether you're registered
as a Democrat or Republican -- U.S. adults say they are
experiencing significant stress from the current election,"
said Lynn Bufka, APA's associate executive director for
practice research and policy.
"Election stress becomes exacerbated by arguments, stories,
images and video on social media that can heighten concern
and frustration, particularly with thousands of comments
that can range from factual to hostile or even inflammatory," she added in an association news release.
You can minimize your discomfort, however, by reducing
your media exposure and avoiding political discussions, the
association suggests.
Overall, 52 percent of Americans aged 18 and older said the
election is a somewhat or very significant source of stress.
That included 55 percent who align with Democrats and 59
percent with Republicans.
The survey also found that 38 percent of respondents said
political and cultural discussions on social media causes
them stress. More than half who use social media said the
election is a very or somewhat significant source of stress,
compared with 45 percent of those who don't use social
media.

Another Republican
Party Office Vandalized
Someone threw two landscaping bricks
through a window on Oct. 8. Signs for
Donald Trump and Mike Pence were
hanging on the window at the time,
according to the groups Facebook page.
Officials said it would cost about $1,200 to
replace the broken window and said
anyone interested in helping cover the
cost could donate online. Republican office
has received reports of campaign signs
being taken from yards and buildings. The
reports were being taken seriously and that
removing signs without the authority to do
so may be criminal conversion under a
criminal code.
Election signs are only up for a couple
months. However there are people using
similar size yard signs to advertise their
business from a residential zoning. That
defeats all commercial business Laws, we
have to say on top of. The problem has
been noted by Walton County officials and
ask for citizens to BOLO signs for business
where they are NOT permitted, especially
within the city Limits, also State Laws.

The one thing Trump should do at

the final debate...Opinion

Public Notice: Meeting Date Change

for November Regular BCC

Modern journalists have little in common with those I was

privileged to know when I was a copyboy at NBC News in Washington in the 60s.
Todays journalists will disagree, but as numerous surveys have
shown, the public trust in what is collectively called the media has
sunk to an all-time low. Only the media think they dont have to
change and can continue to sell a product more and more people
refuse to buy.
WikiLeaks dumps of Clinton campaign emails with reporters
should contain enough proof for any reasonable person that big
media is in the tank for her.
In what may be unprecedented, The New York Times allowed
Hillary to edit her own quotes. John Harwood, chief Washington
correspondent for CNBC, showered praise on Hillary in emails to
her campaign chief John Podesta.
Clinton staffers discussed which emails to release and which to
delete. She has claimed the deleted emails were personal, not work
related.
A Chapman University survey has found the top fear of American
voters is corruption in government. If true, why do so many intend
to vote for Hillary, perhaps the most corrupt politician ever to seek
the presidency? The WikiLeaks documents also expose Hillarys
private vs. public contradictory statements on several subjects.
The Washington Examiner reports these include transcripts of paid
speeches she has tried to keep secret. Three years ago, Hillary told
an audience at a luncheon for the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago Vanguard that the flow of Syrian refugees into
Jordan had put Jordans security at risk.
About the thousands of Syrians pouring into Jordan, she said,
they cant possibly vet all those refugees so they dont know if,
you know, jihadists are coming in along with legitimate refugees.
She wants to increase the number of Syrian refugees entering the
U.S. by many times the current rate. If they pose a security threat
to Jordan, why wouldnt they pose a threat to America? Even FBI
director James Comey says he cant guarantee proper vetting for
so many refugees and other immigrants, many of whom lack the
most rudimentary forms of identification and verifiable work
history. During the second presidential debate, Hillary expressed
support for a no-fly zone over parts of Syria to help stem the
humanitarian crisis. But, in a paid speech for Goldman Sachs in
June 2013, she indicated she was skeptical about whether such a
strategy would work.
To have a no-fly zone, she said then, you have to take out all of
the air defense, many of which are located in populated areas, so
our missiles, even if they are standoff missiles so were not putting
our pilots at risk youre going to kill a lot of Syrians. So all of a
sudden this intervention that people talk about so glibly becomes
an American and NATO involvement where you take a lot of
civilians.
There is much more, including private praise for Wall Street and
big banks that paid her six figures for speeches with little content,
but public criticism and promises to exert more government control over them if she is elected. Donald Trump honed his attack
against the media, the establishment and the Clintons: The
establishment and their media neighbors wield control over this
nation. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist,
rapist, xenophobe, and morally deformed. They will attack you.
They will slander you. They will seek to destroy your career and
your family (and) your reputation. They will lie (and) do
whatever is necessary. Hes right and this should be his line of
attack in the third and final debate before the Election!

Please be advised that the Walton County Board of

County Commissioners Regular Meeting scheduled for
Tuesday, November 8, 2016 at 4:00 PM will be moved to
Monday, November 7, 2016 at 4:00 PM and will be

Immigrant: I don't understand

why some Americans hate
America?
I was especially moved by a letter I received from a legal
immigrant from India. He asks a very important question
in his letter: "I have not known any other country where
some of the people desecrate their flag, disavow their
national anthem or tear down their own country," he
wrote.
I am a first
generation
Naturalized
American who
was born in
India. I am
neither white
(without white
privilege), nor black or Hispanic (not a victim either), I
am just a person who came to a land of opportunity with a
dream. I have traveled some in this world and to the best
of my knowledge I have not known of any other country
where some of the people desecrate their flag, disavow
their National Anthem or tear down their own country. If
I am wrong please straighten me out. BUT if I am right,
then please address how do we expect any other country
to respect ours when we (under the "excuse" of freedom
of speech) do not respect it ourselves.
When I became a US citizen, I took an oath denouncing
my allegiance to my old country and even agreed to take
up arms against my former country if asked to by the
USA.
Please check the verbiage of the oath these days but do
oaths mean nothing anymore? If so, who is upholding the
Law against the Clintons and the numerous people who
played along with her for the easy $$$$?

Great Pyramid Find: Two

Mysterious Cavities With
Unusual Features
The Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, has long been
rumored to contain hidden passageways leading to
secret chambers. Now a team of researchers has
confirmed the 4,500-year-old pharaonic mausoleum
contains two unknown cavities, possibly hiding a
corridor-like structure and more mysterious features.
The announcement by the ScanPyramids project
comes at the end of a year-long effort to use various
scanning technology on Old Kingdom pyramids,
including the Great Pyramid, Khafre or Chephren at
Giza, the Bent pyramid and the Red pyramid at
Dahshur.
Carried out by a team from Cairo University's Faculty
of Engineering and the Paris-based non-profit
organization Heritage, Innovation and Preservation
(HIP Institute) under the authority of the Egyptian
Ministry of Antiquities, the ScanPyramids project
used three innovative techniques muography,
thermography and 3-D simulation to deeply
investigate the Great Pyramid of Giza.
An unknown cavity was detected at a height of about
345 feet from the ground on the northeastern edge of
the monument, while a "void" was found behind the
northern side at the upper part of the entrance gate.
"Such void is shaped like a corridor and could go up
inside the pyramid," Mehdi Tayoubi, founder of the
Paris-based Heritage Innovation Preservation
Institute, told Seeker.
He added that no link can be made between the two
cavities at the moment. When the pyramid was
finished some 4,500 years ago, the chevrons were not
visible in that area, but were hidden under casing
stones that were dismantled over the centuries.
"Today we still see the remains of those chevrons and
oblique stones which most probably
are parts of propped missing chevrons
covering a kind of void that might
have existed before stones were
dismantled."

85-year-old man breaks

world marathon record
Many people never run marathons,
let alone break marathon records. Ed
Whitlock is not "many people."
The 85-year-old Canadian man
broke a world record during the
Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront
Marathon on Sunday; he ran the
fastest in the 85-90 age category.
Whitlock ran the marathon in 3
hours, 56 minutes -- smashing the
previous record of 4 hours, 34 minutes. Whitlock is known as "The
Master," and certainly lives up to his
name.He did not race last year due
to problems with his knees.
"Somehow on occasion I get
running in a long groove and they
flare up and start to hurt," he said.
"The only thing I can do that seems
to get rid of it is to take a rest."
Whether he'll be able to break his
own record, Whitlock is uncertain.
"I don't want to disgrace myself, I
suppose," he said, laughing.
Seeing as he currently holds 36
world records, disgrace is not at all
likely.
