Top Stories for September 8:
Trump makes eyebrow-raising claims about his 9/11 story
The guy who eats pizza with a fork and knife, refuses to walk more than a few hundred feet at any given time, poops in a gold-plated toilet, and is SKIPPING the 25th anniversary ceremony of the 9/11 attacks in New York this week because he can’t turn it into a MAGA rally wants everyone to believe that he personally went to Ground Zero quickly after the Twin Towers fell in 2001 and “worked long and hard” to help with the recovery and rescue efforts. Uh huh.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump embarasses himself with absurd Labor Day posting spree
A day after floating his patently absurd idea to rename New Mexico “New America” and declaring that “THE MOON IS OURS,” America’s nincompoop-in-chief took the crazy another step further, posting a barrage of AI slop that included a map of the entire North American continent under the United States’ control. That’s right, folks: we’re apparently annexing Canada, Greenland, AND Mexico.
Sure, you might not have lower prices, cheaper gas, affordable healthcare, or any food assistance, and your utility bills might be soaring through the roof — and, of course, dozens of Jeffrey Epstein’s very important co-conspirators may still be walking freely among us — but we can all agree that renaming things after America and posting AI slop colonizing the entire North American continent is a pretty effective substitute!

Gina Hinojosa hits Greg Abbott where it hurts with BRUTAL new ad
Gina Hinojosa for Texas: Data centers are shaping up to be one of the biggest issues this election cycle — and Democrat Gina Hinojosa is NAILING the wildly corrupt Greg Abbott to the wall with a devastating new ad for accepting $20 MILLION from data center developers. “Greg Abbott is selling you out!” reads the final frame. It’s a powerful message sure to resonate with Texas voters, the majority of whom don’t want a data center anywhere near their homes. Will you chip in to help Gina get this ad on every TV screen and radio in Texas?
Federal court rules there is no constitutional right to clean drinking water
Ok, wait. Just hear us out: what if you’re a corporation or a data center, though?

Netanyahu was personally warned Hamas was planning “terrifying operation” 10 days before Oct. 7 attack
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally and explicitly warned that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning a major attack roughly 10 days before the October 7 massacre, but dismissed the threat and did not alert his security chiefs, according to a shocking new Haaretz report.
United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan raised the alarm directly with Netanyahu during a 45-minute conversation, three senior foreign sources familiar with the exchange told the Israeli newspaper, and reportedly warned that Sinwar was preparing a major operation. Netanyahu reportedly responded that he believed Hamas intended to operate in the West Bank and assured the Emirati leader that Israel was prepared for any scenario.
The warning was apparently never passed to Israel’s top security officials. Former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and former IDF chief of staff Herzi Halevi both told Haaretz they had not been informed about the conversation.
Republicans blast out “free tickets” offer to save Trump from Dallas convention embarrassment
With Donald Trump’s midterm convention cash-grab looking like a complete box office flop, Republicans are scrambling to save face, blasting out free tickets they were hawking for thousands of dollars just a few days ago.
VIP packages, round table seats, and photo ops with the MAGA cult leader and his cosplay hillbilly sidekick can set convention-goers back hundreds of thousands of dollars, so it’s not exactly a surprise that sales are a little light.
With Trump’s approval rating stuck in the gutter, and with the GOP facing down a blue wave in November, it’s understandable why vulnerable Republicans locked in competitive races might not want to be seen yucking it up with the guy running the economy and the country into the ground.
The RNC says they’re expecting 20,000 attendees. Ticket sales stood at just 2,000 over the weekend. We know they’ve never been all that good at math, but just like the bogus federal budgets they propose every year, the numbers just aren’t adding up.
Bombshell WSJ report claims Corey Lewandowski acted as “shadow secretary” at DHS and effectively controlled billions in spending
According to a damning new report by The Wall Street Journal, former Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem’s other bosom buddy was effectively running the show behind the curtain, pulling the purse strings and overseeing BILLIONS of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded contracts.
But wait, there’s always more. According to the report, Corey Lewandowski also allegedly approached officials from two Middle Eastern countries seeking work “on the side” while serving as a special government employee in Noem’s DHS.
Pretty sure there are rules that prohibit influence peddling and self-dealing with foreign actors while working for the federal government. Also pretty sure Lewandowski would have zero problems violating them.
