News, governance, and politics in and around Culpeper County, Virginia. Let's see how this goes.
The then-commander of Joint Spec Ops Command, Frank M Bradley, is reported to be the officer who briefed the secure conference call on Sep 6 that the shipwrecked survivors of the first missile strike were still legitimate targets. It was he who then ordered the second attack. He is also accountable.

The Star-Exponent reports that the county Board of Supervisors expects to sign a contract on Tuesday with Fiberlynx of Orange Co to extend hi-speed internet to 1,700 customers in Culpeper Co.

I want to be perfectly clear. The murder of two men, helpless and adrift, by order of SECDEF and butressessed by COMSOCOM, IS A WAR CRIME! Popgun Pete Hegseth must have been asleep or drunk throughout his military training.

Could Ghislaine Maxwell plead the 5th if subpoenaed to testify before Congress? Maybe, but maybe not. Ben Meiselas and Michael Popock break it down. youtu.be/qyk2ZkR3zxU?...

In the Illinois suit against El Gordo's insertion of NG troops into Chicago, the Solicitor General (the govt advocate) told SCOTUS that the Chicago PD refused to assist the FBI when asked for help. Harry Litman explores that after the NYT exposed it as a lie to the court.

The ambush of National Guard soldiers in DC was a vicious crime that must be prosecuted in according to the laws and judicial procedures of the United States and DC. It appears it may have been in response to the provocation of deploying troops domestically. Does it make sense to flood in 500 more?

Reports indicate that DOJ has requested the court to lift a protective order that applied to discovery material in the now-closed Maxwell criminal case. This is a step, but it's not the RELEASE of THE EPSTEIN FILES!

It's getting close to home. Reports say that Bruna Carolina Ferriera, Brazilian mother of WH press secy Karoline Leavitt, has been arrested and is set for deportation. TN's special election is down to a 4-pt spread. El Gordo took the district by 22 points in 2024. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Tennessee has a special election in its 7th Congressional District on Dec 2. A deep-red, heavily gerrymandered area, it's up for grabs, with millions of $$ flowing in on both sides. Aftyn Behn (D) vs Mark Van Epps (R). Has the GOP screwed the pooch? Will the Dems make the kill? Watch this race.

Bloomberg reports that El Gordo golfing buddy and "special" envoy Steve Witkoff briefed a Kremlin aide on Oct 14 on how Vlad the Impaler should pitch the Ukraine peace plan to DJT, to include a very good phone call use of Gaza as a model. And we see how he fell for it.

Popgun Pete at DOD made a fool of himself tweeting a sophomoric screed at Sen Mark Kelly, accusing him of undercutting discipline and posting a photo showing his medals "out of order & rows reversed." Is this what we want of the 2nd in command of US forces? And the medals look correct to me.

El Gordo has been struck with an absolutely brilliant idea 🤔 Extend Obamacare subsidies for 2 years! Belle assesses the implications:

Now another news update. District Court Judge Cameron Currie dismissed both cases (Comey & James) based on the illegality of Halligan's appointment. They were dismissed without prejudice, so they could, theoretically, be revived.
November 24, 2025 at 6:52 PM
In saner news, the federal Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has thrown out the case against James Comey, finding the Lindsey Halligan appt invalid. The case could be reinstated except that the statute of limitations has run out.
November 24, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Aaron Parnas revealed that DOD has initiated an "investigation" into retired Navy CAPT Mark Kelly, claiming that he has undermined good order, etc. Retired members may be ordered back to duty and thereby be tried by court-martial. Here's another annoying distraction. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
November 24, 2025 at 5:48 PM
El Gordo himself posted this image. This is not something that a well person would do. This one appears to feel threatened - and he has the nuclear codes.
November 24, 2025 at 12:44 AM
AP reports that the 28-point "peace plan" isn't that at all. Now it's just a Russian "wish list." Would somebody please get their act together? Please?

Culpeper's Town Council has approved putting sound dampers at the generator station on Electric Ave. Generators and pumps in the data centers that could be built nearby would likely drown out the power station. Something to consider.

Howdy there, BlueSky people. Today, Belle of the Ranch had fun with the far right going nuts. A satirical website announced that Mayor-elect Mamdani will require NYC schools to teach Arabic numbers. Gasp! Sharia math! If we can't use 5, 10, 15, we'll have to use V, X, and XV. Once more, II+II=V.
November 21, 2025 at 3:39 PM
And Aaron Parnas notes that the Coast Guard has quietly recategorized swastika, nooses, and Confederate symbols from "hate" to "potentially disruptive." You go, Coasties. Way to tone things down. Semper Paratus. Sheesh.
November 21, 2025 at 11:53 AM
As for accusing those who remind military members of their duty to disobey illegal orders, El Gordo is making stuff up. In law, "sedition" allows only imprisonment, deportation, or fines. "Treason" is different, and it is a capital offense. These are crimes vs the US, not the naked emperor.
November 21, 2025 at 11:47 AM
Let's talk about that artful deal El Gordo shoved into Ukraine's face. As NOR put it, the agreement between the US and the USSR -er, Russia - gives Vlad the Impaler all he wants and more. It's like having your 2 neighbors agree to take your front lawn. Very clever, Donnie, my boy.
November 21, 2025 at 11:37 AM
As reported by Aaron Parnas, Democratic members of Ccongress with military or intelligence experience have urged service members to ignore illegal orders. El Gordo promptly called for their arrest and reposted calls to "hang them." He's feeling the people's pressure. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

El Gordo threatened to paint the Eisenhower Bldg (opened in 1888 as the State, War, and Navy Bldg next to the White House) white (Not gold?). Preservationists sought a preventative injunction. Now His Grand Mightiness has pinkie-promised to not haul out the paint brush until 2026. Gee, thanks.
