CLOUDFLARE: Cloudflare is a content delivery network that provides network security. Its servers crashed yesterday, leaving websites around the world inaccessible. These include major platforms such as X and ChatGPT.

EPSTEIN: There is a tiny furor in Congress right now after it was revealed that Rep. Stacey Plaskett had texted in real time with Epstein on February 27, 2019 during a House Oversight Committee hearing where Michael Cohen (former Trump attorney) testified about Trump’s business dealings and hush-money payments. Plaskett’s office confirmed the exchange but described it as routine constituent outreach.

CLICK https://x.com/washingtonpost/status/1990910521516646413 [1:24] to see the Washington Post’s video about this. And pay attention … it’s from the Washington Post.

Plaskett has been the Democratic non-voting delegate representing the U.S. Virgin Islands in the House of Representatives since 2015. Epstein owned two private islands (Little St. James and Great St. James) in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which fell under Plaskett’s jurisdiction. Epstein had donated to her campaign, as he often did to gain influence.

After some Republicans failed to initiate an ethics investigation, Plaskett gave the speech @ https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1990896337215189084 [4:47]. Among other things, she said, “You want to talk about texting felons, how often do you text President Donald Trump? That’s the individual we should be concerned about.”

IOW, pedophile conviction vs. bogus bank “fraud” that even the bank in question said never happened. Riiight.

Paragraph six (of seven) – “Stout and Barco-Chirino’s attorney told KDVR in August that Barco-Chirino served 15 years in prison for attempted murder after he left the military, where he had been stationed out of Colorado Springs. He was arrested by ICE immediately after he was paroled.”

MILITARY: [4:50] – My jaw is unhinged.

SCHUMER: CLICK https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1990507759541109060 [:16] to hear what Chuck said when asked why the Epstein files weren’t released during the Biden administration.

SNAP: CLICK https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1990907238077100152 [:57] to hear AgSec. Brooke Rollins confirm they have found 186,000 dead people have been collecting food stamps, while another half a million have been collecting twice. During Fiscal Year 2024, an average of 41.7 million people collected food stamps. That represents 12.3% of the US population. In FY 2024, the average participant received $188 in monthly benefits, down 25.8% from a FY 2021 high of $253 per person.

Note: When Brooke refers to an “almost 40% increase” she is talking about dollars spent on benefits, not the number of people receiving benefits. I created the graphic above to show the most recent historical numbers for both.

Abbott designated both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as “transnational criminal organizations.” His statement said, “The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world. … These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.”
