Iran is ramping up online activity that appears intended to influence the upcoming US election, in one case targeting a presidential campaign with an email phishing attack, Microsoft said Friday. Iranian actors also have spent recent months creating fake news sites and impersonating activists, laying the groundwork to stoke division and potentially sway American voters this fall, especially in swing states, the technology giant found. The findings in Microsoft’s newest threat intelligence report show how Iran, which has been active in recent US campaign cycles, is evolving its tactics for another election that’s likely to have global implications.

State Dept and CIA - Trump Staffing 2025
7 replies
Only a small number of Americans understand the relationship between the U.S. State Dept (DoS) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). However, as more people understand how these two agencies operate, then people have a much more accurate context for how both agencies are viewed by the rest of the world. Almost every deployed CIA operative has a cover profile within the State Dept. The foreign service missions of the DoS and CIA are so enmeshed there is literally no way to separate the functions of their agencies. [Go back to the Benghazi Attack for an operational reference] CIA/DoS have to be viewed through the prism of connection.
When dealing with the Israel-Arab issue, the woke progressive angle has made a clear choice – Israel only oppresses, and the Arabs are always the victim. Note that woke arguments nearly never use language such as good and evil. But there are specific situations that are labeled clearly evil by nearly all woke progressives. Israel has become a member of this category. Eylon Levy and Douglas Murray explore the aspects of this “psychotic” norm.
No matter how many people Israel saves around the world when there are world disasters,

Earlier today, President Trump gave a pressing conference from Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Unlike the Kamala/Walz heavily controlled and scripted relationship with their allies in media, President Trump and JD Vance will take any/all questions regardless of topic.
President Trump delivered some short remarks then stood in front of the media and took questions from the assembled press pool for over an hour. Forme President Trump proposes debate times with VP Harris
Veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of “embellishing” his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit’s 2005 deployment to Iraq.
In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018 as he first ran for governor, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr said Walz retired from his 24-year tenure in the National Guard after learning that his battalion would be deployed to Iraq, despite allegedly assuring his fellow troops he would join them.
President Trump has announced via Truth Social that Elon Musk will be hosting a conversation between himself and President Trump.Former President Donald J. Trump said on Tuesday that he would be interviewed next week by Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of the social media platform X and a former skeptic who has come to embrace his candidacy.
In a post on his own social media site, Truth Social, Mr. Trump said that their conversation would happen on Monday night and that details would follow. Representatives for the Trump campaign and for X did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.

There’s a reason nobody expected far-left Kamala Harris to pick a far-left governor from a deep blue state as her running mate. It’s never worked.
In the wake of Jimmy Carter’s crushing defeat in 1980 and repeated Democratic losses thereafter, the party decided that to win presidential elections they had to at least appear as moderates.
Bill Clinton won by labeling himself a “new Democrat” and picked Al Gore, then a fellow moderate Southerner. Gore in turn tapped Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Barack Obama tried to position himself to the right of John McCain and ran with Scranton Joe Biden,
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), alongside California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and others, mocked former President Trump on Tuesday for implying that President Biden may take back the Democratic nomination.
“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. Presidency, a COUP,

President Biden held a frantic closed-door powwow with his top national-security advisers Monday as the Mideast war threatened to explode — and the US warned afterward it is set “to defend our forces.’’
During the meeting, Biden, 81, and Vice President Kamala Harris were informed that the timing of an expected attack on Israel by Iran and Hezbollah remains unclear, as is what the strike could look like, US officials told Axios.
The guidance provided to Biden and Harris, 59, is seemingly at odds with what Secretary of State Antony Blinken told his counterparts from the G7 countries on Sunday,
Israeli forces killed a commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit in a drone strike over southern Lebanon on Monday, officials say.
Video of the attack shows the moment the Israel Defense Force drone focuses on the car carrying Ali Jamal al-Din Jawad on a dirt road in the village of Aabba, with a missile fired within seconds to blow up the vehicle.
The car erupts into fire and smoke, leaving only debris in its wake as the blast manages to avoid the vehicles driving in front of Jawad’s.
The Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq, which houses U.S. troops, was reportedly attacked with rockets on Monday, according to sources.
The news was broken by Reuters, which was told about the situation by multiple security sources. At least two Katyusha rockets were fired towards the base.
The sources did not confirm if the attack caused any deaths or injuries, though one security source said that the rockets fell inside the base. The incident comes as tensions in the Middle East escalate amid the Israel-Hamas war. Last week, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, causing the Iranian government to vow retribution against Israel.
Nearly 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been released into the United States during the Biden administration, while Border Patrol agents have encountered migrants on the watch list from dozens of different countries, a new House report is revealing.
"Under the Biden-Harris Administration, of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States," the report by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee,

London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well.
"We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News.
Vice President Kamala Harris is vowing to sign legislation as president that would have millions of illegal aliens eventually securing naturalized American citizenship and imposing nationwide no-excuse mail-in voting.
During a rally in Glendale, Arizona, Harris said she would back amnesty for the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens through so-called “comprehensive reform.” “We know our immigration system is broken and we know what it takes to fix it: comprehensive reform. That includes strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship,” Harris said.
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) “misspoke” when claiming he carried weapons “in war,” the Harris campaign claimed Friday night after struggling to move past four difficult days of escalating stolen valor controversies.
Walz has suggested on multiple occasions that he carried weapons into war — including in a video shared by the Harris campaign — despite having never served in a combat.
“We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war,” Walz said in a 2018 video advocating gun control. That clip was shared Tuesday by the Harris campaign.
A former Illinois public school food service director has been sentenced to nine years in prison for pulling off a $1.5 million chicken wing heist, prosecutors said.
Vera Liddell worked for Harvey School District 152, an “impoverished” Chicago-area district, for over a decade until she was accused of stealing the food she was tasked with providing to children in January 2023, WGN reported.
Court records obtained by the outlet accused the 66-year-old of placing orders for more than 11,000 cases of chicken wings from the school district’s food provider, picking them up in a district van, and not delivering them to children who were remote-learning at the time.
It's the Democrat media complex at work, though they’ve become more shameless since the Obama era. After Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, there was a conscious effort to disregard the truth to protect Democrats and help them no matter what. It’s the only explanation for the flurry of ethical and overall journalistic malpractice that we’ve seen, from the Russian collusion hoax to Hunter Biden’s laptop; we do not hate the media enough for their overt corruption.And now, NBC News is reporting through some unnamed Kamala Harris spokesperson that Minnesota Gov.

In a discussion about Vice President Kamala Harris’ stunning surge in the polls last week, podcaster Joe Rogan stated the obvious: “She’s the least popular vice president of all time, and then in a moment in time, all of a sudden she’s our solution.”
Rogan is right. The vice president who has been a national joke for four years, tapped by President Joe Biden because he’d promised his base he would choose a woman of color, has suddenly become a serious contender in the presidential race. And now she’s picked a radical Minnesota governor with a disastrous record to round out her ticket.

Kamala Harris is proving once again that she has never had an original idea in her life.
During her rally in Las Vegas tonight, she plugged the idea of no taxes on tips for people who work in the service industry. Her supporters cheered for the idea, many of them probably not even realizing that they were cheering for an idea that came from Trump.
This is especially ironic because Kamala Harris’s campaign has been extremely short on policy proposals. Now she finally puts one forth and it’s a Trump proposal.

A federally funded research project is actively recruiting "transgender" children to study the "mental health benefits" of puberty blockers, as part of a nationwide push to reshape public policy on pediatric "gender care."
Three major U.S. children's hospitals, which all house gender clinics, are co-conducting this clinical study: Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio; Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, Illinois; and Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Since 2021, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), an agency of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has pumped over $3 million into the multi-site, longitudinal study, which was recently renewed for the 2024 fiscal year, per a repository of NIH-funded portfolios
Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate 'Coach' Tim Walz was criticized for his display of unbridled enthusiasm during their latest rally in Las Vegas.
The duo had held their fifth rally in five days in the swing state late Saturday night in hopes to win over undecided voters - and Walz was pumped!
In a video circulating on X, the Minnesota Governor can be seen joyously clapping as the crowd goes wild and he walks around onstage from the podium. As the music blasts through the speakers, Walz overflows with exuberance in the short clip.

The thing about putting lipstick on a pig is that underneath the lipstick, you've still got a pig. That's the Kamala Harris campaign right now, at least according to a new report on the internal tensions roiling her operation.
There's no doubt the vice president turned presidential nominee without winning a single primary vote has some momentum. There is a sheer jubilance among Democrats simply because they have someone other than Joe Biden to vote for. Much of what is bolstering Harris isn't organic, though. It's the result of a relentless press campaign to redefine her as a talented,
CNN host Brianna Keilar attacked JD Vance’s record, referring to it yesterday as if it were a trip to a resort. Vance’s deployment wasn’t spring break. It’s not a cushy job either, which was the gross insinuation. It’s well that Maj. Shawn Haney (ret.) came on CNN to shut down the notion that Vance did nothing in Iraq. Haney, a public affairs officer, also corrected Keilar, noting the dangers of being a combat correspondent, citing 130 individuals who did not make it home.[snip for tweets] Also, Keilar didn’t apologize or backtrack but instead engaged—to cite liberals—'bothsideism,’ going on a prolonged monologue about the perniciousness of the attacks on military records.
The $3.8 trillion that Democrats in Congress authorized for pandemic relief ($2 trillion was passed during the Trump administration) contained $800 billion for state and local governments.
Admittedly, the states had some flexibility in how they spent their cut. Some states used the money to shore up their employee pension programs. While not specifically authorized in the enabling legislation, given the broad authority granted to states to spend the money, no one is likely to challenge it.
How about a governor spending $4.3 million to cover parking costs for state employees "and visitors"? Or $1 million on a feasibility study for paid family leave?
