It remains to be seen whether Bluesky’s management will allow the United States government to use its platform.
In short order, the rest of the troops were aboard.
Bluesky can either allow this to happen or it can ban the U.S. government and face the consequences.

Groups like Rose City Antifa in Oregon, the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club in Texas, and Jane’s Revenge operate as coordinated street militias. Legal fronts such as the National Lawyers Guild provide protection, while crowdfunding networks and international supporters funnel money directly to the movement.

Feminists Have Discovered “Nose Ring Theory” And They’re Not Happy
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/feminists-have-discovered-nose-ring-theory-and-theyre-not-happy
…”nose ring theory”, also known as “septum ring theory”…is based on an observable stereotype: The idea that many crazed feminists on social media tend to have the exact same physical characteristics. It’s the blue hair, the face, neck and full body tattoos, the high cut bangs and, of course, they almost always seem to have septum rings in their noses. The theory is supported by the leftist habit of using symbolic identifiers, much like a cult would use to pick out other adherents in a crowd. When the pandemic mandates failed to garner enough public support in the US and the mask requirements were abandoned (largely because the masks were proven to be useless), the political left continued to wear them anyway. Why? Because the masks had become symbolic of the cult, a uniform for the woke. The septum ring is the new covid mask. It’s a signal to other believers that they are on the same side.
(apparently nose rings were origionally used on bulls and pigs to make them easier to handle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_ring_(animal) – now apparently cultural approperation as well (https://www.jewelry-auctioned.com/learn/buying-jewelry/meaning-of-nose-rings-in-historic-and-modern-society)  – jlr)

The Color Revolution Chooses Yellow
https://grayzoneresearch.substack.com/p/the-color-revolution-chooses-yellow
According to social media posts and their website, Indivisible and the No Kings protest campaign have chosen yellow as their unity color.
Why It Matters: Several weeks ago, I reported that Indivisible, the country’s largest protest organizer, had spent an hour debating which color or symbol to use, and that an announcement was pending. I actually dislike this choice for them. Purple – as a combination of Blue America and Red America coming together to fight perceived fascism – would have been a much better choice as a unity color, in my opinion. “No Kings” as a slogan is pithy and allows the movement to claim ownership of America’s heritage of opposition to kings (“Rejecting Kings Since 1776,” as one sign reads), but still misses the point because President Trump is not a king, nor is he attempting to become one. I would not be surprised to see this color change as we get closer to 2028 because the imagery of Red and Blue America coming together is a very powerful strategic message, especially because so much of the main effort in a Color Revolution is about encouraging defections from the autocratic side to join the resistance. – M.S.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15188473/ellen-greenberg-philadelphia-suicide-stabbing-death-ruling.html
Despite the extent and nature of her wounds, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a suicide.

Federal Judges Blame Trump and SCOTUS for a Problem They Created; We Need to Fix It Now
https://redstate.com/streiff/2025/10/13/federal-judges-blame-trump-and-scotus-for-a-problem-they-created-we-need-to-fix-it-now-n2195021
The issue stems from the simple proposition that a nontrivial number of judges no longer see their job as ruling on conflicts of law. They see their job as ensuring the “correct,” and naturally progressive, outcome to cases. The very fact that Trump has had only one minor setback at the Supreme Court, despite having virtually every decision of consequence litigated, is an indication that the legal reasoning and arguments of his team are rock-solid; see SCOTUS Scorecard: How the Trump Administration Is Faring Before the High Court (So Far). With increasing frequency, courts are issuing rulings that amount to “I don’t like it.” So long as the President has legal authority to do so, that is not an argument that is a tantrum.

‘Executive fiat’: Biden-era rule change quietly permits H-1B visa holders to work remotely
https://www.theblaze.com/news/executive-fiat-biden-era-rule-change-quietly-permits-h-1b-visa-holders-to-work-remotely
On December 18, 2024, the DHS filed the “H-1B Modernization Final Rule,” which took effect three days before Trump was sworn in to office. This lengthy document reveals a months-long deliberative process in which Biden officials relaxed H-1B enforcement standards to explicitly permit remote work — all under the pretext of “modernization.” (Hummmmm – just how remote is remote?

72 Hours
https://tactical-wisdom.com/2025/10/08/72-hours-2/
If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you’ve heard me mention that you are never more than 72 hours from a complete collapse of society. That can be locally, regionally, nationally, or worldwide. A storm can happen, a grid collapse, or, as appears more and more likely, a civil war can happen.
It’s time to get your awareness level where it belongs. As I write this, A US Governor is openly calling for resistance, including armed resistance, to the federal government with the media cheering his supporters on. No matter which side of the issue you are on, you need to pay attention. Federal law enforcement agents are being followed and ambushed. Many public figures are openly calling for violence on both sides. Rewards have been offered for the killing of federal agents.
Meanwhile, we’ve had church attacks, bombings, bomb threats, and assasinations. – – – there’s more

Most importantly, stop denying that this is happening.

The idea of concealed and open carry being scary for a lot of people is that the very idea that someone might have a gun is terrifying. I’d like to say I get it, but I really don’t. I can’t understand being so scared of a man-made object, any object, that its mere proximity to it strikes you with fear. People are scared of their proximity, and now with Florida getting open carry, whether the legislature likes it or not, some are…expressing their pathetic, fear-based concerns, such as this college student. (Guns DON”T kill people. People kill people. With bare hands, rocks, hammers, knives, cars, and all kinds of objects. – jlr)(“My anxiety goes through the roof when I walk on FIUs open campuses.

(However, since Sept 10th, I don’t think so. I think conservatives are now fed up with, and no longer wish to put up with, the whining, the crying, the feeling-driven rather than fact-based political lectures, the political diatribes and rants, the sulking, the hurt feelings, and the generally divisive drama from their leftist relatives, especially at holiday family gatherings.

No more diversity quotas compromising readiness.“No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses,” Hegseth declared bluntly. “We are done with that shit.” The assembled generals and admirals sat in silence as their new marching orders became unmistakably clear: embrace the warrior ethos or find the door

At One Time Many Mocked The Idea That The Radical Left Wanted A Violent Internal Revolution In America, But Nobody Is Laughing Now –
by Michael Snyder, 25Sep2025
https://michaeltsnyder.substack.com/p/at-one-time-many-mocked-the-idea
If you truly believe that your political opponents are “fascists” that plan to commit “genocide”, what is the appropriate response?
In the hate-filled world that many of these radical leftists exist in, the appropriate response is violence…there was just a mass shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas…In this environment, violence can erupt literally anywhere at any moment…There is nowhere in this country that is truly safe. When you are out in public, please be constantly aware of what is going on around you. Even if you have nothing to do with politics, you can still be targeted…A whopping 74 percent of Democrats are convinced that democracy is not working. If they do not believe that democracy is working, they are not going to rely on the political system to enact change. Instead, they will use other means…An age of unprecedented civil unrest and extremely violent domestic terrorism is here.

…Orwell warned of this in 1984 with his invented language, Newspeak. But Newspeak was built by replacing old words with new ones — destroying vocabulary so certain ideas couldn’t even be thought. What we face today is subtler and more deceptive. Instead of erasing words, our institutions keep the familiar ones — equity, violence, woman, democracy — and hollow them out, refilling them with alien meanings. Orwell imagined burning the library. In our real world, the library still stands, but many of the books have been replaced with forgeries…

(The Earth’s radius is approximately 6,371 kilometers (3,959 miles), and the asteroid was at13906 miles from the center of the earth sooo the rock was only 9,947 miles above the surface – I think that qualifies as CLOSE – jlr)

***Liberals More Likely to Cut Ties with Friends and Family Over Politics – by W. J. Lee, 29Sep2025
https://amac.us/newsline/politics/poll-liberals-more-likely-to-cut-ties-with-friends-and-family-over-politics/
(However, since Sept 10th, I don’t think so.  I think conservatives are now fed up with, and no longer wish to put up with, the whining, the crying, the feeling-driven rather than fact-based political lectures, the political diatribes and rants, the sulking, the hurt feelings, and the generally divisive drama from their leftist relatives, especially at holiday family gatherings.  So they just won’t invite them this year, or maybe ever again, depending on how divisive and abusive they have been to the family – jlr)

The problems of the world become the justifications for Antifa terror, melding gay, trans, migrant and Islamic grievances under a single communist umbrella. The end game, though, is always the same. Burn the west to the ground. Burn free markets to the ground. Destroy as many conservatives and nationalists as possible in the process until there is no one left to oppose them.

A little humor… – by OldNFO, 22Sep2025
Random Thoughts as I Grow Older
Wouldn’t it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes; come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller!
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven’t met yet!
I don’t trip over things; I do random gravity checks!
I don’t need anger management. I need people to stop ticking me off!
Old age is coming at a really bad time.
When I was a child, I thought nap time was a punishment … now, as a grown up, it just feels like a small vacation.
The biggest lie I tell myself is … “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it.”
Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can & the friends to post my bail when I finally snap!
I don’t have gray hair; I have “wisdom highlights”. It seems I’m becoming very wise.
My people skills are just fine. It’s my tolerance for idiots that needs work.
Teach your daughter how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.
The kids text me “plz” which is shorter than please. I text back “no” which is shorter than “yes”.
I’m going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I’ll do the second week.
When did it change from “We the people” to “screw the people”?
Even duct tape can’t fix stupid … but it can muffle the sound!
Why do I have to press one for English when you’re just gonna transfer me to someone I can’t understand anyway?
Of course I talk to myself: sometimes I need expert advice.
Oops! Did I roll my eyes out loud?
At my age,, “Getting lucky” means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.
Chocolate comes from cocoa which is a tree … that makes it a plant, which means … chocolate is salad!
