-Lurid Crime Tales-
Husband of US House Speaker undergoing brain surgery after hammer attack
Follow-up to this story from yesterday.
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Paul Pelosi, the husband of US House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
, is reportedly undergoing brain surgery after a violent mostly peaceful early morning attack at the couple's the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, residence.

Paul Pelosi, 82, was transported to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital after police arrived on the scene, and was initially treated for facial injuries while in stable, pH balanced condition, NBC's local affiliate KNTV reported, citing an anonymous source at the hospital. It is unclear what may have prompted doctors to take him into surgery.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office said he is expected to make a full recovery.
May have to remain on ventilator for 3-4 weeks.
The motive for the early morning attack remains unclear, but law enforcement said officers were dispatched to the residence at roughly 2:27 a.m. on a well-being check. When they arrived both Pelosi and the suspect were holding a hammer, Police Chief Bill Scott told news hounds.

The suspect, whom Scott identified as 42 year-old David Depape,
...Berkeley resident, occasional nudist, social media Jew hater, possible illegal...
then proceeded to pull "the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi, and violent mostly peacefully assaulted him with it."

"Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid," said Scott.

Depape is being charged with attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary and several other additional felonies, according to police.

The US Capitol Police, FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
& San Francisco Police Department have launched a joint investigation into the break-in and attack, Nancy Pelosi’s office said. In addition to the special agents from the Capitol Police's California Field Office who arrived on the scene quickly after the attack, the department is also sending a special team of Sherlocks from the East Coast to aid the probe.

#7  Three questions:

1) Why was a man as wealthy as that, living in a crime ridden city like San Francisco, alone in the house with no security?

2) Why haven't we heard yet if Mr. Depape has a criminal record, or if he was out on bail, or no bail, or should have, for any other reason, been in jail instead of running loose?

3) What is this business about a well being check at 2:27 a.m.? Was there a 911 call or not? If not, why would the cops conduct a well being check at that hour?

#8  Mr. Depape apparently was found in the Pelosi home by police only wearing his underwear. He didn't use the hammer (that supposedly he wrestled away from his 'victim' who was apparently using it for self-defense) on Mr. Pelosi until AFTER the police arrived and were in the house.

According to 911 log - "RP (reporting person Paul Pelosi) stated there's a male in the home and that he's going to wait for his wife. RP stated that he doesn't know who the male is but he advised that his name is David and that he is a friend.”

This whole scenario is quite strange (although it is SF) and really seems F'd up, in my opinion anyway.

#10  And 82-year-old vs. a 42-year-old. I think Paul P. had the element of surprise going for him there.

#11  If he didn't need a brain before, why does he need one now? What would he use it for at this point? I mean, he might realize he's married to Nancy and have apoplexy but he apparently stays pixilated so I'm not sure he'd notice.

#12  It is unclear what may have prompted doctors to take him into surgery.

"You seeing what I'm seeing?"

"My god! Is this... linguini?"

"And cotton balls."

"There's a miniature Johnny Walker's where the occipital love should be."

"Uhhh..."

"Oh! He's coming to. Propofol, quick!"

#16  Now that you mention it, and considering who he is married to, nobody faults him for being constantly hammered.

"RP (reporting person Paul Pelosi) stated there's a male in the home and that he's going to wait for his wife. RP stated that he doesn't know who the male is but he advised that his name is David and that he is a friend.”

The ramblings of someone totally blasted on illegal things but needs emergency responder assistance.

#20  It gets weirder. David DePape forced his way into the home through a back entrance, Scott said. Officers arrived at the house, knocked on the front door and were let inside by an unknown person. They discovered DePape and Pelosi struggling for a hammer, and after they instructed them to drop the weapon, Scott said, DePape took the hammer and “violently attacked” Pelosi.

-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
New Zealand PM's Plane Breaks Down in Cold ‐ as She Studies Climate Change
[PJ] The weather outside is frightful, but the irony is so delightful. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who became famous during the COVID-19 pandemic for saying that unvaccinated people would be second-class citizens in her country, went to study “climate change” in Antarctica — where the freezing weather caused her plane to break down.

Ardern was visiting her country’s Scott Base in Antarctica to “highlight” supposed “climate change” and mark the Base’s 65th anniversary, according to Reuters. “Cooperation in Antarctica and in the Antarctic Treaty System is more important than ever as we tackle the crises of climate change and biodiversity loss,” Ardern stated.

But those glaciers aren’t melting at disastrous rates yet, apparently. The NZ Air Force Hercules plane took Ardern to Scott Base, but her scheduled departure yesterday was delayed because another plane was required, RNZ reported. The plane broke down due to being grounded in Antarctica for two days, a New Zealand Defence Force spokesperson said.

“Experience has shown that cold temperatures can cause the aircraft propeller seals to have issues on start-up due to congealing hydraulic fluid and seal rigidity,” RNZ quoted the spokesperson. “The C130H will be repaired and is expected to return to New Zealand in the next few days.” Efforts to prevent the breakdown had failed, according to the spokesperson.

#3  Nothing says "I'm committed to fighting climate change" like taking a C-130 on a press junket.
Posted by: Matt || 10/29/2022 16:09 Comments || Top||

#4  I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

#5  At the Pole they just keep the engines running.
Posted by: James || 10/29/2022 17:36 Comments || Top||

#6  Also that evil fossil fuel likes to gel up in the cold along with the evil hydraulic fossil fluid. Regular fluid seals don't like that, and seals in rotating equipment really "no me gusta" that shit. Engines running and only on the ground long enough to unload/load and get back in the air. They aren't usually on the ground waiting for some bitch to take a two day photo-op/propaganda shoot. I'm certain she made the C-130 stay so she wouldn't be stranded waiting on the next flight. Also pretty certain that the Kiwis don't keep maintainers on the ground in Antarctica. So a second C-130 flies the mechanics in and takes her home leaving the poor bastards to repair their own ride home in lovely weather. But hey, it's Springtime in Antarctica right now, isn't it?

Government Corruption
Democrat Blows Whistle On Widespread Orlando Area Ballot-Harvesting Operation In Black Communities [VIDEO]
[Gateway] "Because, where I live—you can’t have a voice. If you stand up or if you want to even run against them, you will be shot," the whistleblower reveals.

Ever since the release of 2000 Mules, Americans have been frustrated over the lack of details or arrests related to the people or organizations behind these vote-stealing operations...until now.

Florida’s no-nonsense Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has asked his new election crimes unit to recommend State Police conduct a full criminal investigation into an affidavit filed by a Democrat whistleblower that outlines a widespread ballot-harvesting operation that’s allegedly been taking place in black communities in Central Florida for years.

In late August, former Orange County Commissioner candidate Cynthia Harris filed an affidavit with the Florida Secretary of State’s office alleging that ballot harvesters showed up at her home attempting to collect her ballot when she shut them down. Harris claims they are part of an illegal ballot-harvesting operation that’s been going on for years in the black community in the Orlando area. According to Harris, ballot harvesters are paid $10 for each ballot they collect.

Just the News reports- Harris described an intricate system funded by liberal-leaning organizations that dispatch ballot brokers into black communities to pressure voters to turn over their ballots. The $10 fee per ballot is divvied up among the parties who help complete the harvesting.

#1  So the State Police in Florida have an election crimes unit. Gosh, I wonder why they don't do that in Pennsylvania?
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 10/29/2022 12:26 Comments || Top||

#2  That is a very traditional cheat scheme that would generate a higher voter turnout, some fake votes for grandma who is long dead and a chance for Dem operatives to trash or alter any votes where folks have rejected the narrative. It is not the cheating that Zuckerberg has funded. I think it is worth pursuing as there are likely perps common to both scams higher up.
