Oops. Trump’s campaign mixes up state of Georgia with country of Georgia
  • tl;dr:

    Donald Trump’s campaign accidentally used an image of the country of Georgia in a digital ad intended for voters in the U.S. state of Georgia. The ad featured a scenic backdrop of vast mountain ranges, which online users quickly identified as the Caucasus Mountains from the European nation, rather than any landscape found in the U.S. The ad urged Georgia voters to check their voter registration status, with a message from Trump emphasizing how crucial their votes were in the upcoming election.

    “ATTENTION GEORGIA: I’m humbly asking you to stop what you’re doing and check your voter registration status,” the ad stated. However, instead of highlighting the battleground state, the image depicted the wrong "Georgia," causing a humorous mix-up.

    The ad had been running on Facebook since September 10, with around $6,000 spent before it was removed on Monday after being featured in the Politically Georgia newsletter. The campaign did not provide a response regarding the mistake, but aides from Vice President Kamala Harris' camp were quick to mock the error. Harris’ deputy spokesperson, Ammar Moussa, sarcastically commented on the blunder, calling it a “top-notch operation.”

    Online sleuths linked the image to the country of Georgia, not the battleground state that Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are fighting to win in November.

    >Iran's Ambassador to Lebanon Loses One Eye, Seriously Damages Other in Pager Explosion, New York Times > >Mojtaba Amani, according to the publication, is being evacuated to Iran for treatment. It is noted that before the explosion, the pagers emitted a beep, which prompted many to bring the devices to their faces. > >The attack was probably carried out by Israeli intelligence services, which planted explosives in about 5,000 pagers, Reuters reports. Of these, about 3,000 exploded. A senior source in Lebanon told the agency that the devices were planted by the Israeli spy service "at the production level." "The Mossad inserted a circuit board containing explosive material into the device, which receives a code. It is very difficult to detect by any means. Even with any device or scanner," the source said. > >The day before, 4,000 people were injured in Lebanon, 11 of whom were killed as a result of pager explosions. Reuters writes that hundreds of members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously injured due to explosions of pagers, which they use for secret communication.
