  • FBI Says Iranian Hackers Tried to Pass Stolen Trump Campaign Info to Biden Campaign
    Time, Wednesday - 09/18/2024 - 10:30 PM

    WASHINGTON — Iranian hackers sought to interest President Joe Biden’s campaign in information stolen from rival Donald Trump’s campaign, sending unsolicited emails to people associated with the then-Democratic candidate in an effort to interfere in the 2024 election, the FBI and other federal agencies said Wednesday. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] There’s no indication that any of the recipients responded, officials said, and several media organizations approached over the summer with leaked stolen information have also said they did not respond.

  • Springfield, OH Mayor Wants Trump And Vance To Stay Away
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 09/18/2024 - 10:00 PM

    It’s beyond despicable that presidential candidate Donald Trump would deliberately endanger a community but it’s even worse that running mate J. D. Vance is the Ohio senator supposedly representing that community. Even worse than that, Sen. Vance has acknowledged he is spreading harmful lies and has insisted he is entitled to do so. The Trump/Vance lies that Haitian immigrants have been eating pets in Springfield, Ohio have spurred bomb threats against schools, government buildings and officials’ homes.

  • Weirdo Trump: Global Warming Means More 'Seafront Property'
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 09/18/2024 - 09:00 PM

    During a faux town hall discussion on Tuesday with Sarah Huckabee Sanders in Michigan, Trump described global warming as being positive for his properties near the ocean before ranting about nuclear war. Trump consistently says global warming will make more seafront properties which is delusional. Diminished Trump can't keep a singular idea in his head so he rambles from topic to topics that are unrelated. Trump began this rant by claiming world leaders wouldn't have respect for VP Harris and then in weirdo fashion transitioned into nuclear power and whatnot.
