SOLID ADVICE: BUY. PHYSICAL. MEDIA. “My Blu-Ray edition of The French Connection is intact, but it’s also an older copy and not from Criterion. The unedited version is now restored on most streamers, but you can bet I’ll never let go of my Blu-Ray disc. You never know when some blue-haired Hollywood twentysomething will get it into their well-pierced head that grownups mustn’t be allowed to see anything that might offend xher genderfluid life-partner.”

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: ATF Proposes Changes to Make Travel With NFA Items Easier.
Until the National Firearms Act is a relic of the past, every little bit that makes it easier to navigate can surely help. In recent weeks, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives published their intent to do just that in the form of a two-fer.
…
In the notice ATF submitted to the Federal Register, it stated that the plan is to permanently overhaul and digitize the process by revising the information collection method to make the form electronically fillable and allow it to be emailed directly, as well as auto-fill the required second copy. Additionally, the form will be part of its online eForms section on the ATF website for easier access and include more clarifying language on the application of the regulation for travel.This latest proposal by ATF appears to be part of the ongoing effort announced as a “new era of reform” as posted on the ATF website earlier this year: https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/atf-launches-new-era-reform. A quick perusal of the ATF Forms and Information Collection site shows multiple recent and similar updates meant to assist in streamlining forms, reducing paperwork, and updating procedures through digitization, all great efforts helping to ultimately reduce wait times and resources that burden both agency and citizen.
It’s almost impossible to even imagine this happening under any other administration.
21ST CENTURY HEADLINES: Navy, Palantir Announce $448M ‘Ship OS’ AI Tool for Shipbuilding and Repair.
Announced at an industry day on Tuesday, the Shipbuilding Operating System program, or Ship OS, will collect data from across the new construction and maintenance systems to streamline shipbuilding and the repair of the current fleet, according to the service.
“Every ship builder who partners with us will have AI power tools that optimize their work in real time. Every supplier in the network will be connected through intelligent logistics,” Secretary of the Navy John Phelan said on stage with Palantir CEO Alex Karp. “Every program manager will have unprecedented visibility into schedule, cost and risk. We’re not just building ships faster. We’re rebuilding American maritime industrial capacity for the AI age.”
Faster, please.
SHE HAS TO RIDE HERD OVER AN AWFUL LOT OF SORE LOSERS: Bari Weiss Named a New CBS News Anchor and the Response Is the Funniest News Ever.
CHANGE: HUD terminates Biden-era guidance, claiming it unfairly favors Afghans. “HUD Secretary Scott Turner argues the Biden-era guidelines prioritized nearly 200,000 Afghan refugees who were admitted following the 2021 pullout of American forces from Afghanistan by encouraging landlords and property owners to forgo credit checks, occupancy limitations, and engage in targeted marketing toward Afghans.”
SOLAR IS A WASTE OF SPACE: Young farmer’s crusade to protect vanishing farmland pits her against solar developers in New York.
The neighbor assured her that he wasn’t going to sell his land to solar developers, but Fasulo said the developers are aggressive and many farmers do end up selling. Between 2017 and 2024, the U.S. saw a decline of 24 million acres of farmland, a trend that worries Fasulo.
The average age of farmers is rising, and few young people aren’t pursuing careers in agriculture, making it attractive to sell off unused farmland to developers.
Farmland is being sold for other types of development than renewable energy. But renewable energy takes up large amounts of land, and unlike other types of energy, rural land is an attractive location to site wind and solar projects.
Nuclear power works 24/7, and unlike solar or wind, has a tiny footprint.

CHANGE? Trump administration quietly builds plans for what would happen if Maduro were ousted in Venezuela. “They include multiple options for what US action could look like to fill the power vacuum and stabilize the country if Maduro voluntarily leaves as part of a negotiated departure or is forced into leaving after US strikes on targets inside Venezuela or other direct action, the sources said.”

INSURRECTION: DHS Nabs N.J. Twins in Plot to Shoot ICE Agents ‘on Sight.’
Federal authorities arrested twin brothers in Absecon, New Jersey, after alleged threats against Department of Homeland Security officials and calls on social media to “shoot ICE on sight,” according to a press release emailed by DHS to Newsmax on Tuesday.
DHS said it worked with the Absecon Police Department’s SWAT team to execute search and arrest warrants for U.S. citizens Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores.
According to DHS, Emilio Roman-Flores is charged with unlawful possession of an assault weapon, possession of prohibited weapons, conspiracy to make terroristic threats, criminal coercion, threats, and cyber harassment.
Another non-shocking outcome of keeping the LITERALLY NAZIS dial turned up to 11, 24/7.

DONALD VANDERGRIFF: The Coming Storm: A 9/11 2.0 Threat and Why America’s Institutions Are Still Fighting Yesterday’s 2nd Generation War. “This article draws on research for Book 4 of the Reforging the Sword series. Titled *Shadows of Division*, the book depicts the outbreak of widespread 4th Generation Warfare in the US homeland.”
Estimates of committed fighters inside the CONUS range from 1,500 to nearly 10,000. Many received advanced training in Afghanistan on the very bases we built, taught by former Afghan commandos and special forces who were themselves trained by U.S. Green Berets and Marines. Their weapons (AKs, belt-fed machine guns, RPGs, grenades, explosives, sniper rifles, and possibly man-portable chemical munitions) were smuggled in with cartel assistance and are already pre-positioned.
The planned attack is a true Fourth-Generation Warfare (4GW) operation: complex, coordinated, synchronized, and nationwide. Ten to fifteen cities will be struck nearly simultaneously (adjusted for time zones) during morning rush hour on a Monday–Thursday early in the work week. Primary targets appear to be Tier-2 cities (population 100,000–500,000) that possess Level-1 trauma centers and large veteran or active-duty populations, payback for two decades of war in the Middle East.
Hospitals are expected to be physically occupied and turned into charnel houses, possibly with nerve agents. Shopping malls, churches, and schools are secondary or follow-on objectives. Commercial aviation remains vulnerable to new binary chemical IEDs that defeat most airport screening. There is persistent chatter about a symbolic siege of Washington, D.C. (White House, Capitol, Pentagon), though I remain skeptical of its feasibility at scale.
Supporting cells will ambush additional first responders, and vehicle-borne IEDs (VBIEDs) will block escape routes, creating the “fish in a barrel” conditions we saw in Mumbai (2008, Paris 2015, and Moscow 2024.
It’s fiction — for now, anyway, and already familiar to anyone who’s read Kurt Schlichter’s The Attack. Or to anyone who watched the news on 10/7/2023.
ANALYSIS: TRUE. Dem Media Lapdogs Will Never Understand That the GOP Isn’t a Hive Mind. “Over here on the right side of the aisle, we like to mix it up a lot. If I ever run into a Republican who thinks that everything the party is doing is great, I immediately suggest that he or she find a doctor who is familiar with NFL concussion protocols. We’re still a family too, we’re just rowdier. We’re the clan that sees at least one blow-up every Thanksgiving, usually after Uncle Frank has had his fourth glass of dinner wine — before dinner.”
