How desperate must El Gordo be? He cuts a deal with RUSSIA for diesel and allows dirty diesel use on the highways. This is fighting a wildfire with an eyedropper. Like everything he comes up with, it's all show for a single day. AND he wants Zelinsky gone. How dare he pick a fight with Russia!

Well, howdy there BlueSky people. So, Nidal Hassan is to be executed by firing squad. The execution will be live-streamed worldwide by DOD. Can anyone think of a more effective way to turn this murderer into a martyr and to motivate those sympathetic to his ideology? Or is this just Pete's purience?

Howdy, there. It's Dan again. So, now we have HHS saying that a new legal division that will represent unaccompanied alien children at deportation hearings. How sweet. Govt lawyers will seek to deport, and govt lawyers will defend. What could go wrong? substack.com/@glennkirsch...

Sigh. Now El Gordo wants to poke Fed Governor Lisa Cook again by creating a "committee of inquiry" (whatever that is) to investigate allegations of making false statements on a mortgage application. He demands her appearance at a hearing in what's left of the WH on Nov 5.

About that Signal thing...Isn't the app supposed to erase all traces of messaging after a day or so? Isn't the regime using it to skirt the Presidential Records Act? And does this not bode ill if historians (and prosecutors) will access this in the future? If the WSJ can do it, so can others.

The Wall Street Journal reports on a Signal text from Kimberly Guilfoyle (US ambassador to Greece) to suspended KY lawyer and MSGA donor Eric Deters to wire $100,000 via AmEx (so "no one will know") to cover credit card debt. She would use her clout to aid him with the IRS & DOJ. He declined.

Democracy Docket reports that ICE documents show that it collected 48.4 million voter records from "independent sources" and investigated hundreds of voter registration nonprofits. ICE tried to share the data with Peter Thiel's Palantir to use in a surveillance tool. The result is unknown.

Just thought that you might find this interesting. At least two county Democratic committees have voted out resolutions opposing data center expansion. 'Monstrous towers and lines': With Campbell County’s vote, localities unite against Valley Link cardinalnews.org/2026/10/08/w...

So, El Gordo bars international election observers (who have watched every federal election since 2002) and "floods" the country with 1000 of his own. There will be one less voice announcing that the election was free & fair and a chorus clamoring that it was rigged. Who wants to be fooled by this?

Who is worthy to be your master? Or put another way, to whom do you want to surrender your agency? If there is ANYONE whose utterances you unquestioningly believe or act upon, remember that you do so by your own volition. You are responsible for your actions, so pause and reflect first.

About that shiny Lukoil deal that Putin is dangling in front of Steve Witkoff...It's not worth the vapor it's written on. Recall that, just last week, Putin gave "temporary" control of Nestle's Russian operations to a buddy via presidential decree. Funny how that works.

Wadda ya know, just before an election, an "immigrant caravan" is threatening to invade the United States. All of 600 individuals from Latin America & the Caribbean are in Chiapas, about 935 miles from the border. At 3 mph walking 12 hours a day, they will hit the border on May 26, 2027. EMERGENCY!

Combined reports from the WP & NYT that at least 13 ads promoting El Gordo were paid for by funds appropriated for border security, anti-drug trafficking, and memorials for law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. Suddenly, all those efforts aren't so important, I guess.

Belle points out an interesting "dog that isn't barking." The canine in qustion here is...Our Favorite President. He's not barking, threatening, or intimidating all those GOP candidtates who have "suddenly grown spines" and gently pushed against the war, gas prices, etc. Could there be an agreement?

Remember that "Trump TV" thing? The Daily Beast reports that it launched with 8,100 viewers. At 2am EDT this morning, it had 91 viewers.The entire international audience could board the older Air Force One with 10 seats left empty. As context, the WH staff numbers 411.

Hey, Eugene, here's my personal message for you to take back to Washington next January. I WANT A POLITICAL WARRIOR IN THE SPEAKER'S CHAIR! A no-holds-barred knuckle-fighter who will investigate and expose the unbelievable corruption within Congress, the Executive, and the Judiciary. We need LBJ!

The cattlemen's associations in 3 very RED states (KS, OK & TX) have issued releases stating that ICE enforcement as is practiced is severely impacting their industry AND the prices you're seeing in stores. As you ponder this, remember who voted this clown show in. You get what you vote for.

El Gordo is using our money to craft "public service announcements" that are campaign ads that ask voters to "love me" or prepare for the "final battle."This violates the "anti-propaganda" riders routinelt written into Section 718 of the carious appropriations bills. DOJ, JUMP ON THIS! Yeah, right.

Product tanker (e.g., refined diesel) transport rates are skyrocketing. That accounts for much of the gas, diesel, and other price rise. Comments from the regime confirm that they have utterly no understanding of seaborne shipping. I have no space to begin explaining. You'll have to trust me here.

Dan Else @blueplane51.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
SCOTUS has green-lighted El Gordo's plan to purge voter roles using that SAVE database. This will give the regime a questionable-but-useful paper trail to declare an election emergency. AGs around the country are prepping their defensive lawsuits.

I guess those most obsessed with martial law are those most fearful of post-election justice.

Dan Else @blueplane51.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Despite there being no legal authority to do so, El Gordo's court is urging him to declare martial law as the midterm returns are reported, according to Aaron Parnas's reporting. Will senior officers honor their oaths and refuse to follow orders? I hope that we don't have to find out.

Dan Else @blueplane51.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Just a thought. Why is a president who "hates communism" and who vows that "the US will never become a communist country" throwing such lavish attention on a real Communist? Could El Gordo be confusing "communist" with "Democrat"? Surely not, for he is a very stable genius.

So, the WH is panicked over diesel prices and thinks that an embargo over its export will solve the problem. It's not production, it's logistics. We can't move enough of it around internally, so the East sources the Middle East, Midwest from Canada, and California from Singapore.

For those not savvy on national security issues, El Gordo's fantastic victory in Greenland is a big, fat nothingberger. He got nada that wasn't already agreed. And if the US exits NATO, any deal is null & void. Good job, guy.

Aaron Parnas reports that El Gordo's TV channel cratered within a few hours. Tha 8,000 viewers it started with fell to 1,000 by the next morning. The regular White House YouTube channel has 3.18 million subscribers. Just sayin'.

Can't get enough of our beloved Dear Leader? The White House has launched it own streaming channel, "Trump TV," to fill the void left by the White House TV pool boycott following the ejection of Politico, CNN, and MS NOW. We finally have a Soviet-style state-owned propaganda machine.

Well, howdy there, BlueSky people, it's Dan again. Today, we're going to talk about the Arch of Cowardice, Vanity, and Defeat set to go up in Arlington. A military complex for storing munitions? Such a juicy target in a residential area. Why didI think of that?

I suggest that we all look at regime actions regarding the midterms - hints of armed agents at polls, the fight over mail-in ballots, and all the rest - as spaghetti (or ketchup)-at-the-wall attempts to set the stage for the REAL fights between November and January. The GOP is grasping at straws.

Reports show that Iran War cost is now more than $41B. US contractors have been killed and are not reported. Other repots state that service member deaths are under reported. And El Gordo has banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. C'mon, fella. The stories are gonna get out anyway.

GOP shut down Congress until after the midterms. No action on gas, war inflation, elections...nothing, nada. Is that a Profile in Courage or what? Remember, no number of political ads, no amount of money spent makes your vote for you. It's your vote. Use it wisely.

I recently spoke to Canadians vacationing in Portugal. They told me that every American...EVERY American... they encountered began conversations apologizing on behalf of their fellow Americans. "We're sorry Canada. We hate this guy, too." So, sticks down! Gloves off! Over the boards! Go vote NOW!

Gas is up, diesel is above $6/gal, inflation is up, Don Jr's wedding was underwritten by a Russian oligarch (the Rooskies stayed out of the posted photos), and the El Gordo family is about to unload a lot of their eponymous crypto coins (the 1s that have lost $1B - they make money on transactions).

El Gordo's Middle East has spiraled way out of control, diesel is over $6/gal, Ukraine is hanging on, Canada is sticks down & gloves off, and the US is going hat in hand to Mexico to beg for a trade deal. DON'T TAKE NOV FOR GRANTED! The MAGA base hears none of this. VOTE 5 days from now!

El Gordo may not be a source, but he is a symptom. Think of his regimes as the result of 5 decades of elitists trying to claw back power from the progressive surge of the 1960s.
