So Harris has Taylor Swift, and Trump has... Television star Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars speaks in support of former President Donald Trump during a a campaign event for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump

Lake Superior has endorsed a presidential candidate. Well, at least the X account did. The Lake Superior account is known for its sassy takes and superiority complex. It touts being the G.L.O.A.T., or the greatest lake of all time, especially given its the only one of the five lakes that doesn't have a number in its account name (Lake Michigan's Twitter is — embarassingly — @lakemichigan13) Of course, people chimed in with some Great Lakes humor.

Harris organizer objects to subpoena from Republican House Judiciary Committee Chair Jordan A Democratic strategist who helped organize a “White Dudes for Harris” call said he is fighting back against a subpoena from Republican House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Friday. “I am objecting to the subpoena issued by Jim Jordan and the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee in its entirety. This subpoena serves no legitimate legislative purpose—making it invalid, unconstitutional, and unenforceable,” Authentic Campaigns CEO Mike Nellis said in a post on X late Friday. The House Judiciary Committee previously subpoenaed Authentic Campaigns, a company the daughter of the New York judge overseeing former President Trump’s hush money trial has worked for. In a letter late last month, Jordan requested that Nellis sit for a deposition alongside the company, as well as sign a sworn affidavit that Authentic Campaigns never had contact with Judge Juan Merchan. Nellis also posted the letter from his legal team to Jordan, encouraging his followers to read it. The letter states “Authentic’s work is in no way connected to former President Trump’s legal proceedings in New York,” and that the company “has had no role, involvement, or influence whatsoever in those proceedings.” Click on the link for the full article The letter can be found below:

Alerting the World to RT’s Global Covert Activities Today, the United States is designating three entities and two individuals for their connection to Russia’s destabilizing actions abroad. According to new information, much of which originates from employees of Russian state-funded RT (formerly “Russia Today”), we now know that RT moved beyond being simply a media outlet and has been an entity with cyber capabilities. It is also engaged in information operations, covert influence, and military procurement. These operations are targeting countries around the world, including in Europe, Africa, and North and South America. The United States supports the free flow of information. We are not taking action against these entities and individuals for the content of their reporting, or even the disinformation they create and spread publicly. We are taking action against them for their covert influence activities. Covert influence activities are not journalism. The United States will always stand for freedom of expression, including for those with whom we disagree. We encourage dissent, open debate, and free discourse. But we will not stand for attempts by state actors to carry out covert activities with the goal of hijacking that discourse. Consistent with General License 25F, these targets may continue to engage in journalism and media operations not prohibited by U.S. sanctions. In June, together with the governments of the UK and Canada, the State Department’s Global Engagement Center exposed the Russian government’s efforts to engage in subversive activity and electoral interference targeting Moldova. As we previously described, some of these covert efforts include RT personnel’s involvement in providing direct support to U.S.-designated fugitive Moldovan oligarch ILAN SHOR (SHOR) for several years with Russian government assent. Leveraging its expanded covert capabilities, RT will almost certainly coordinate with traditional Russian intelligence services to try to manipulate the outcome of the October 2024 Moldovan presidential election in Moscow’s favor. RT and its employees, including Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan, have directly coordinated with the Kremlin to support Russian government efforts to influence the October 2024 Moldovan election. Specifically, in coordination with the Kremlin, Simonyan leverages the state-funded platforms for which she serves in leadership positions – namely RT, Sputnik, and their parent company FEDERAL STATE UNITARY ENTERPRISE INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION AGENCY ROSSIYA SEGODNYA (ROSSIYA SEGODNYA) – to attempt to foment unrest in Moldova, likely with the specific aim of causing protests to turn violent. RT is aware of and prepared to assist Russia’s plans to incite protests should the election not result in a Russia-preferred candidate winning the presidency. Click on the link for more

NSFW video at link: Trespassing / lewd and indecent behavior with a cucumber in Truxton Circle On Friday, September 6 at approximately 5:30pm, a man broke into my garage (three kids crashed a stolen car in my fence last week, creating this hole). He stuck a cucumber into the front grill of my car, lowered his pants, and proceeded to have anal sex with it. When a car passes by, he stops and then moves toward the hole to continue. When done, he places the remaining cucumber (two thirds of it having been left in my grill) back in his lunchbox and leaves. The video shows the incident but no nudity is visible. A police report has been filed. This was in Truxton Circle NW, across from Dunbar High School. If you have any tips, please contact MPD. Be careful out there - protect your car and your produce’s virtue.

D.C. officers sentenced to prison in fatal chase that sparked unrest A D.C. police officer was sentenced to 5½ years in prison Thursday and another officer got a four-year term for their involvement in a 2020 vehicular chase that killed a young Black man on a moped and sparked destructive civil unrest by hundreds of demonstrators outside a city police station. After being sentenced in federal court in Washington, Officer Terence Sutton, who got the longer prison term, and Lt. Andrew Zabavsky were allowed to go free pending the outcome of their appeals — a process that could take several years. Both have been suspended from the D.C. police force without pay since they were indicted in the fatal chase. In a weeks-long trial in 2022, Sutton was convicted of second-degree murder, conspiracy and obstructing justice in the death of 20-year-old Karon Hylton-Brown. Sutton is the first D.C. police officer to be convicted of murder for actions on duty. Zabavsky, who was not charged directly in Hylton-Brown’s death, was found guilty of conspiracy and obstructing justice. Hylton-Brown crashed his rented moped on the night of Oct. 23, 2020, during a pursuit that authorities said violated police policy and was illegally reckless. Authorities said Sutton and Zabavsky later lied about the incident to forestall a potential federal civil rights investigation. Click on the link for the full article

I don't think it's weird. He's been doing that for decades. He vacationed with his mistress Marla Maples while married to Ivana. It's not unusual for him. And there is nothing Christian, or even "Christian" about him. He can't even name any bible verses: His supporters are all in and don't care how hypocritical and immoral he is, even his evangelical supporters.

Missouri bird flu case is a ‘one-off’ and the public risk is still low, officials say Health officials on Thursday said they don’t know how a Missouri person caught bird flu but believe it may be a rare instance of a “one-off” standalone illness. Investigators trying to determine how the person caught the virus have not been able to confirm the exact strain of flu. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said the risk to the general public remains low. The Missouri case raised questions about the possibility of human-to-human bird flu transmission, but officials said there is no evidence of other people being infected. “Right now, evidence points to this being a one-off case,” said Dr. Nirav Shah, CDC principal deputy director. Unusual flu strains that come from animals are occasionally found in people. This year alone, health officials identified seven human cases of swine flu in the U.S., officials said. But this is the first time the surveillance system detected an avian flu like this. Click on the link for the full article

Yes, it could happen to any American whose husband steals, hides and refuses to return classified documents and national security defense information.

Zelensky reveals details of July call with Trump, says he claimed to be 'very supportive' President Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed Donald Trump told him during a call in July he is "very supportive," and would do "everything to strengthen Ukraine" if elected president. In a preview clip of an interview with CNN to be aired on Sept. 15, Zelensky said Trump also told him "he understands how difficult it is to survive during the war." The comments are at odds with Trump's previous public statements on Ukraine. During the presidential debate on Sept. 10, the former president reiterated earlier statements that his primary concern was ending the war – which he has previously claimed he could do in 24 hours – but refrained from providing any concrete details. Media reports indicated that Trump privately suggested he would end Russia’s war by pressuring Ukraine to cede occupied Crimea and Donbas to Moscow. He voiced strong criticism of American aid to Ukraine at a campaign rally in Detroit on June 15, describing Zelensky as "maybe the greatest salesman of any politician that's ever lived" for securing substantial financial support from the U.S. Click on the link for the full article
