Daniel Inouye wanted to serve the United States from a young age. Growing up in Hawaii, he was rattled by the attack on Pearl Harbor; in 1944, at the age of 19, Inouye deployed to Italy, then France, to fight the Nazis. War changes most soldiers’ lives, but Inouye, fighting in an all–Japanese American combat unit, also had to get his right arm amputated: A Nazi soldier struck him with a grenade launcher, partly destroying the arm and forcing him to pry the undetonated grenade out with his left hand.

  • Vance Blames Media For *Making Him* Call Trump's Economy A Failure
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 10/02/2024 - 11:17 AM

    While running for US Senate in the 2022 election, JD Vance attacked Trump's failed economic agenda. There's a documented record of this, including an email he wrote in 2020. These days, Vance blames his former criticism of Trump on "being hoodwinked by the media." He claims he wasn't actually critical of Trump, he was simply guilty of believing "fabricated stories" in the news. Guess the Yale graduate is lacking basic discernment?

  • Uh Oh! Trump's Flip Out Proves Vance Lost Debate
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 10/02/2024 - 11:17 AM

    If you had any doubt who won the VP Debate, take a look at Donald Trump's social media posts. New York Magazine reported on Trump's live "Play by Play" of the debate, using many shouty posts in ALL CAPS. Ketchup bottles at Mar-a-Lago were afraid.

  • Debate Highlight: JD Vance Admits He Lied
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 10/02/2024 - 10:29 AM

    During last night's debate, Tim Walz called out JD Vance for slandering Haitian immigrants in Ohio. Vance's continuous lies against these migrants are more than merely morally repugnant. He is inciting violence against his own constituents. Vance responded by pretending the Haitians were using an obscure law to "go online and gain legal status." As the discussion ended, Margaret Brennan interjected a much-needed fact, which caused Vance to admit he was lying.

  • Walz Hits Vance For Not Admitting Trump Lost 2020 Election
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 10/02/2024 - 09:22 AM

    J. D. Vance debated Gov. Tim Walz last night. Although he performed better than Donald during his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, he deflected and threw out non-answers to specific questions. Walz asked Vance who won the 2020 election, and Vance danced around with his answer. Laughably, Vance claimed that Trump handed Joe Biden a peaceful transition of power.

  • Scarborough: Vance Doesn't Believe In The Peaceful Transfer Of Power
    Crooks and Liars, Wednesday - 10/02/2024 - 08:56 AM

    Joe Scarborough was not having it with people who think J. D. Vance is an honest human being. "This was one of the most clarifying moments in any presidential or vice presidential debate we could ever see, because he clearly said, he was going to continue the lies of Donald Trump and not even answer questions at debates.
