(1709) Evening all.
21. Running out of steam, readers, for tonight
… but one issue I’ve saved some X text on is this secret thing Senators snuck in paying themselves millions in order to lift the shutdown. Exact details are best read at Last Refuge for now.
20. Another where the foreign language is not necessarily a barrier
… not completely anyway. You know what her views are, retweeted by Kassandra, she writes of Bruesseler Buerokratie, then EU-Superstaat. Think you get the idea.

19. Moosh corner

18. The cloven hoof pops out

17. EU “honesty”

16. Redaction issue with the X links (Steve’s comment)
If you’re on X, no issue … just click the links. If you’re not, then there is an issue this time … it’s quite fragmented and involves mixed media. It’s on the topic of DJT. In one, some man is having a TDS fit about DJT and some girls, in another, Crockett has no idea what she’s talking about on CNN, such that they pull her up on her “facts”.
The Demonrats are going all out, just after the end of the shutdown, to say the redacted name in an accusation about topless girls was DJT. It was not so and the best way I can put it is to grab one screenshot, which is of Virginia G:

There was also this:
In October 2016, so-called journalist Michael Wolff was conspiring with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to “finish” Trump. A few months later, Wolff was granted several months of all-access privileges in the Trump White House. Make it make sense.
JH: The thing which is puzzling so many in MAGA is DJT’s lack of judgement about snakes purporting to be his friend, from McCarthy to Bolton. The only explanation I can see is SJT’s blanket view that he meets everyone as honest until they prove they’re not. Much, much later. After many, many chances.
But these are not other businessmen, they are agents on a mission to take him down. By definition, they are dishonest, otherwise they’re not representing their paymasters properly. One I don’t trust is Bessent, while Rubio is a neocon.
