The Smoking Gun reports (and sites such as The Hill confirm): After disappearing for a couple of weeks, the hacker “Guccifer 2.0” returned late this afternoon to provide a new headache for Democrats. In a post to his WordPress blog, the vandal–who previously provided nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committee e-mails to Wikileaks–uploaded an Excel file that includes the cell phone numbers and private e-mail addresses of nearly every Democratic member of the House of Representatives. So…this person is trying to... Read more

Trump seems to think he doesn’t really need to encourage people to get out to vote (although, in his Pennsylvania speech today he did just that, encouraging them to do early voting, which Pennsylvania does not have).  Trump doesn’t think he’s in too much danger of losing: Donald Trump trumpeted a confident assessment of his campaign on Thursday night, saying there was no need for him to encourage voters to head to the polls on election day. Asked by Fox... Read more

Brian Brown, head of the National Organization for Marriage, loves to send out all sorts of doom-laced fundraising letters.  Oh man, he’s all about it.  But lately they’re just not working out for him and now he’s upset with NOM’s supporters for not ponying up the dough.  The chastising letter from Brown complains: NOM began our critical Summer Membership Drive on July 22nd. We’re now three weeks into our drive — the halfway point — and we have only received 256 contributions... Read more

Let us start today with Rick & Morty (great show, btw — think Doctor Who if The Doctor is your abusive alcoholic grandpa) reciting, word-for-word, the transcript of State of Georgia Vs. Denver Fenton Allen, which took place in Georgia on June 17. The transcript shows an exchange between Allen, on trial for beating another inmate to death last August, and Superior Court Judge Bryant Durham Jr.  Previously, I would’ve thought it was the type of thing that could only happen... Read more

In April I wrote about how a sheriff in Tennessee by the name of Eric Watson was using the police station’s official facebook page to evangelize.  American Atheists was none too happy about it.  They sent him a letter telling him to stop doing things like making posts titled “The Time We Live In,” in which Watson said that “Living today is best done with a lot of prayer.” How did Watson respond?  By wondering why people were criticizing his Christian faith,... Read more

In an interview with CNBC yesterday, Donald Trump said that President Obama was the founder of ISIS: “In fact, in many respects, you know they honor President Obama,” Trump said. “ISIS is honoring President Obama. He is the founder of ISIS. He is the founder of ISIS, okay? He’s the founder! He founded ISIS! And I would say the co-founder would be ‘Crooked Hillary Clinton.'” At the rally, Trump also “awarded” a “Most Valuable Player” award, similar to ones handed... Read more

I spend one day teaching kids how to sing and return to see that Trump is saying Obama founded ISIS.  What a welcome back.  Ugh. Maybe this will cheer us up: Best friends Read more
