And a flag pin made in China. Screen capture of tweets, as tweeted here:
Well the screen capture put a banner thing in the middle of Trump pablum. Big deal. Not enough cause to try a cleaner recapture. You get the drift. Always more words than needed.
THE DRIFT: Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, and don't mess with "Mr. Inbetween." (Bless the old Hollywood/Broadway/Trumpian tune.)
You, readers, have the above tweet link if text entirety matters to you.

The audacity of these shitheads astounds. We will rip out your throat, figuratively, if you disdain chapter and verse, our way and no other.
That is saying your freedom of speech is crap where we don't even want to get it on our jack boots. That is unacceptable. The same Administration is after free speech by ICE protesters in a church, as if "CHURCH" outweighs all else on the scales of good and fair speech. What a pile.
If you don't find that tweet stream highly offensive, try Guardian, here.
Pete Hegseth on Friday again claimed the US military campaign against Iran has been an unprecedented success, using a Pentagon press conference to accuse journalists of downplaying Washington’s supposed gains on the battlefield.
Speaking alongside the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, the US defense secretary claimed Iran had been left without a functioning air force, navy or missile defense network after 13 days of strikes, and said the combined US-Israeli air campaign had hit more than 15,000 targets since the war began.
“The United States is decimating the radical Iranian regime’s military in a way the world has never seen before,” Hegseth told reporters.
He said Iranian ballistic missile production capacity had been “functionally defeated” and that their leaders were cowering underground, because “that’s what rats do”. In fact, some of Iran’s most senior leaders – including the president, Masoud Pezeshkian; the security chief, Ali Larijani; and the foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi – were today seen on video marching through Tehran for the annual Quds Day rally.
[...] Throughout, Hegseth repeatedly criticized news coverage of the war, at one point proposing alternative headlines for TV coverage.
“What should the banner [on TV] read?” he said. “How about ‘Iran increasingly desperate’?”
One journalist said they had been denied entry to the press briefing, along with all print photographers. That is reportedly because some photos published of Hegseth have been deemed “unflattering”.
Singling out CNN by name, Hegseth said: “The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.” Ellison, a Trump ally, is the frontrunner to acquire CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros Discovery, and has reportedly told Trump administration officials he would make sweeping changes to the network should the deal close.
As has been his habit at these briefings, Hegseth concluded his opening remarks with an appeal to divine providence, asking Americans to remain “on bended knee” in prayer for US troops and saying he served “God, the troops, the country, the constitution and the president of the United States – and answer only to those”.
Big guy in the sky on our side, Mr. Petey says it is so, and loose your broadcasting license if skeptical. God sides with those who threaten broadcasting licenses. That's a proven fact. Trust me.
