Trump declared that a photograph of Harris being briefed via phone by the director of FEMA was "fake" and "staged." His reason: "you have to plug the cord into the phone for it to work." Harris was using a cell phone. read more

RFK Jr. told a crowd of Trump faithfuls. After the clip was posted to X, commenters remembered Kennedy's zanier moments. A non-exhaustive list of these often animal-related oddities would include his admission that he dumped a dead bear in Central Park and framed a cyclist for it, the time his daughter said he cut off and absconded with the head of a dead whale, his denial that he barbecued and ate a dog, and when he revealed that doctors found a dead worm in his brain - not to mention the years he has spent peddling anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. read more

Happy birthday Jimmy!
"Former President Jimmy Carter, who has been in hospice care for more than 17 months, has said that he has every intention of voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in the fall, according to his family. Mr. Carter's son Chip asked his father on Wednesday if he was trying to make it to his 100th birthday, according to the former president's grandson Jason.www.nytimes.com August 4, 2024
"I'm trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris," Mr. Carter replied, according to the grandson."
Nothing new, only question is whether American voters will care that he's a crook this go-round.

Tweet is about another indictment involving Iran. They seem to dislike us for some reason...
New details here: The IRGC hackers impersonated Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, to try to hack one former senior US official and other targets, according to the indictment and sources familiar with the matter: https://t.co/MkXkohNr9g https://t.co/zvQ6tc2sQl" Sean Lyngaas (@snlyngaas) September 27, 2024
Story updated with additional details. Of note: Indictment states that the IRGC-linked hackers were collecting information that could be used to avenge Soleimani's death, which tracks with what we know about Charming Kitten being kinetic ops-adjacent. https://t.co/MkXkohNr9g— Sean Lyngaas (@snlyngaas) September 27, 2024
So tacky. Gaudy watches were last century.

Yeah, sucks to be the Palestinians. That's the sort of thing that happens when conquered. As they should know since the Muslims have taken land belonging to others for quite some time now. en.wikipedia.org
Difference being that, for most of us, we take our lumps and move on with our lives. Find some place else to settle down and call home. ("Why Are Palestinians Still Living as Refugees 6 Decades Later?" www.historynewsnetwork.org (short answer, they are the only group in our existence that are perpetual refugees generations down the line. We could have a Palestinian president of the United States who was born here and he would still be a Palestinian refugee)).
Sounds like the Palestinians should have taken those peace deals they were offered five times in the last 90 years. ("How Palestine rejected offer to have its own state 5 times in the past" lawandsocietymagazine.com). Or maybe they should slaughter some more Jewish civilians twenty years from now and see if that works out better for them.
Sometimes I wonder if Trump is just messing with us.
