For the second time in recent months, Paul Pelosi is in trouble because he got hammered.
It is a very strange story – supposedly, this weirdo in his underwear managed to gain access to the Pelosi’s manse in a heavily guarded area of San Francisco…nobody saw the guy in his underwear coming in! Then both underwear-guy and Paul got hammers…and then it gets a little foggy. Police reports indicate that Paul called about the man but said he was waiting for Nancy to get home and then the police show up and only then does underwear-guy attack…supposedly severely injuring Paul.
The Capitol Police have been called in…which makes no sense as they lack any jurisdiction…but if you want to control the investigation, having a police force tied to your office is really cool.
Gay lover spat? Mere political set up so they can blame the GOP? Who the heck knows.
Elon Musk owns Twitter – so far, nothing much has changed except for one thing: for the first time since I created my account in 2015 the things Twitter suggest to me are relevant. And I mean it: not once in the past 7+ years has a Twitter suggestion been anything remotely interesting to me. And not just the fact that for politics they’re always pushing liberals my way…for sports I get soccer, which is just so similar to hockey, I guess. For food I get Vegan stuff…which might go well with my pot roast. I get super-hero movies suggested when I’m more of a bio-pic/war drama kind of guy. On and on like that – and all wasted effort as I’ve never clicked a suggested link. Until today: when miracle of miracles, a video from Kari Lake was suggested to me. If this is all Elon does, then it is worth it.
Now, as for the permanently banned: Musk is saying that is under review. Already Corporate America is warning they’ll pull advertising if Trump’s account is restored. I doubt that Musk would really care. The only account everyone is saying must be restored is Gay Patriot’s. He went through about a score of them before he gave up. We want his original account back – Twitter just isn’t the same without his acid takes on the issues of the day.
The liberal melt-down about it has been wonderful, as you might expect. And with the fear of banning fading, people are back to their old tricks…one of the MSMers reporting from Twitter headquarters got trolled by two people claiming to be fired Twitter employees. Their names? Ligma and Johnson (I’ll give you a minute).
What has been most funny is the liberal insistence that Musk breaking the shackles of Twitter censorship is fascism. I’m deadly serious here: that is exactly what they’re calling it. Lots of them are saying they are leaving but I doubt that will happen, or last long for those who do. For people who like fast-paced, topical social media, Twitter is king. It really is a clever system when you get down to it. Truth Social and others do ok at it, but even as they improve their product, they simply can’t get around Twitter’s head start in users. Musk says it will become part of a comprehensive social media platform – which may or may not wind up being a good thing, but as he’s taking it private, only he gets to say what will be what.
The Democrats latest hopium is early voting numbers out of Clark County, Nevada. The nutshell: Democrats are doing well with mail-in votes and this presages a Democrat resurgence in front of November 8th. Two flaws in the theory: Clark County turnout is down massively…the other bit is that rural Nevada hasn’t reported a single early vote. So, the Democrat stronghold is depressed and we don’t even know what the most GOP part of the State looks like.
The Oz-Fetterman debate seems to have finished off Fetterman. In every poll taken since the debate, Oz has been in the lead. The official word is that ticket splitters will award Oz the Senate seat and the Democrat the governorship. The Official Narrative being that the GOP candidate there is just too extreme. I guess we’ll find out. But Oz was “too extreme” until a couple days ago. Meanwhile, Democrats are now pouring resources into New Hampshire…which has been officially in the bag for the Democrats since June or so. I think NH and WA will be the GOP upsets. But, we’ll see!
Oh, and Democrats: the GOP looks certain to win at least 52 Senate seats. Could go as high as 55 if they get the breaks. But, as they say, there’s more! In the 2024 cycle Democrats will be defending seats in (are you ready?) Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Yes, as a matter of fact, I am pointing and laughing at you. That is 10 – count ’em, ten – vulnerable Senate seats. But, don’t feel too bad…after all the GOP will be backs-to-the-wall defending seats in Alabama and Wyoming.
To make it clear to you: you’re screwed. If you’re lucky then by 2025 you’ll be looking at a Senate which only has 60 GOP Senators. It could be as high as 65.
And here’s what will really grind your gears: if you hadn’t cheated to win in 2020, then this year you’d probably be getting a net-gain of 4 and in 2024 your loses probably would have been in the 3-5 range.
Was Trump really that bad?

Democrats have gone full scorched earth and they will suffer the consequences next week. I too predict that Republicans will win the governor seat in NY, MI, and OR which will shock people, and that they pick up at least 3 seats in the Senate, and of course win the House. Here’s the thing though, they had better be America first conservative candidates or they will be back on the street in just a few years. No more RINO’s.
Here in AZ they are running commercials where Arizona “republicans” are calling Lake too extreme on abortion and that she’s an “election denier” – and I have some news for those “republicans” – that “apologetic” brand of the Republican party is over with. Done. We are on the offense now. What Democrats have done to our country, is UNFORGIVABLE.
Another thing that is also unforgivable with Democrats is that they have NO sense of humor. These people are insufferably boring and incompetent.
Lee Zeldin was just interviewed on Fox and first of all, what an impressive guy. He’s been attacked twice and the media largely ignored both. Secondly he said when speaking of NY city – “I live anywhere from 1 hour to 10 days away from the City depending on traffic” – that’s hilarious.
The main reason Liberal humor, especially political humor, falls flat is that they don’t understand that an element of truth is a necessary ingredient to good humor. Democrat humor almost always involves making something up about Republicans and then making fun of it. The cartoon Doonesbury is a good example. The vast majority of Democrat jokes about Trump have absolutely no basis in fact. Even Snopes has recognized this
Case in point: when was the last time Casper ever posted anything that you laughed at?
I take you aren’t referring to laughing AT him……
Everyone is still writing him off…except Youngkin and DeSantis, who are both campaigning for him. Now, could just be both of them building up goodwill among the NY GOP for future efforts…but, also, most aspiring politicians don’t like to be near a defeat. So, maybe something is up? How much garbage can New Yorkers take before they finally say, “enough”?
I think we as Republicans need to take some of the blame for the constant reelection of Democrats. I have always felt that a long-term relentless campaign of shoving Dem failures up their noses would have a good effect.
I have never understood why we haven’t invested in billboards, for example, so people can see a giant message of gas prices from two years ago next to gas prices of today with the message THANK YOU BIDEN VOTERS.
Or pictures of terrorists in Afghanistan celebrating the gift of billions of dollars of weaponry they can use against us, with the same message.
This theme, repeated mercilessly over and over again, is the only way to get it through to these people that we aren’t blaming Biden, because THEY put him in office.
I’m on that page, as well. You try. You can’t win unless you try. Essentially, each party can tap into endless amounts of money; and non-party groups can tap into even larger amounts of dark money (Act Blue has been doing it for years for the Democrats). No, we don’t put our best effort into places like Los Angeles…but put something into it. With some resources, at least we’re on the ground…and eventually leaders in the localities will step up. I’m sure in LA there are lots of small business owners (likely Latino or Asian) who are fed up with crime, collapsing schools and deteriorating infrastructure…but, what can they do? The only political party in town are the Democrats, who don’t care. If they could see the GOP there, some of them would eventually come knocking and offer themselves as candidates. This would be a 20 year effort, of course…but the payoff is immense.
We should be everywhere, all the time – no race uncontested. Put someone there as an alternative. And, yes, I realize that our candidates in places like California and Massachusetts will of necessity be pretty far left, especially on social issues, but the goal isn’t uniformity of thought but to drive the Democrats out of power. They are both corrupt and stupid and they have to go.
Hochul may have sunk herself in the debate when she asked why Zelden even cared about crime. I think she tried to catch herself, but it was too late.
When Leftists come right out and say what they really think, they condemn themselves. This is why casper refuses to give a straight answer on why he is a Democrat.
RCP moved the Washington Senate rate to “tossup” today. Lots of Democrats are being sunk.
It is 8 days away. Nobody really knows what will happen, of course – but Ralston out here in Nevada (liberal but generally very good at number crunching) is saying that unless things turn around big for Democrats, they’re in trouble. We could be starting to see a cascade preference – as more people come to see that voting GOP is acceptable in 2022, ever more people will decide to vote GOP.
The goal should be to move rightward. If you can get a squishy California Republican and that is all you can get, it is still better than any democrat. The goal is to dislodge leftists wherever possible.
Many years ago the unwitting guru of my journey into the light, a conservative talk show host named Mike Rosen, used to lecture that “party trumps person” whenever someone would smugly announce the supposedly enlightened philosophy of ignoring party affiliation and just voting for “the best person”.
He explained that a party majority is very important, as it dictates committee appointments, control over which bills get sent to the floor for votes, etc. So a weak Republican is better than a “moderate” Democrat when it comes to sorting out which party has the most authority in Congress.
In a press release, the USPS explained that the collection bins have become hot spots for criminals looking to steal identities or checks, especially at specific times and on specific days. The agency stated, “The biggest variable enticing these criminals to steal are customers depositing mail into blue collection boxes after the last collection of the day or during Sundays and federal holidays.”
So what should customers do? The USPS advises, “If customers simply used retail service or inside wall drop slots to send their U.S. Mail, instead of depositing it to sit outside overnight or through the weekend, blue collection boxes would not be as enticing after business hours to mail thieves for identity theft and check-washing schemes.”
So your regular mail is not safe in unsupervised collection boxes but your election ballots are?
MSNBC and Democrats have all but abandoned mentioning anything positive about their own agenda and instead are hoping to convince their viewers that Republicans are fascists and Trump is a criminal. Watching these people anymore is both bizarre and surreal. They’ve created a reality they can’t escape from.
How is this all that different from normal? To one degree or another that is what they usually do.
Well true, but I am old enough to remember when there was legitimate debate on both sides of the aisle on tax policy, welfare policy, foreign policy etc. That all but vanished with the “hanging chad” election of 2000, and certainly when Obama divided the country with his “fundamental transformation” election of 2008. Now, emotionally stunted, morally superior children are in control of the Democrat Party and weak ass Republicans are afraid to upset them.
Time to end career politicians and their accomplices in Media and the Federal bureaucracies. I really hope this election is the beginning of the end of the unAmerican insanity that holds this country hostage.
Can’t disagree – the Florida democrat tantrum of 2000 was when the last of the adults left the room in the democrat party.
With you on the “career politician” thing with one caveat: Our government process is so complicated that I think it takes a couple of terms in Congress to really get a handle on it, to be effective. So while I don’t like the current trend of people moving into Congress and staying there till they die, I think we need to be realistic about how many terms in each house we need to be effective at navigating the process.
All you ever see in comments sections of newspapers, etc., is TrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrump..
He simultaneously terrifies them and serves as a distraction to keep the sheeple from paying attention to the train wreck that is their party.
I see scripting based on attacking Trump supporters, in what I can only think is an effort to intimidate us by demonizing us, and also the scripting of hammering “election denial” which is obviously a preemptive effort to deflect commentary on the inevitable cheating they will try next week.
My Junk Mail folder just got an email from Twitchymail.com. I didn’t click on any of the stories, assuming this is a phishing expedition, but wonder if any of the alleged storylines reflects a real narrative being pushed: Jewish Lee Zeldin reveals his antisemitism by invoking George Soros, fascist Elon Musk blah blah blah
I didn’t open that Twitchy email, just looked at its address and headers, and it still did something to my computer. My logs of regular mail and junk mail just spun like a slot machine. I turned off the computer and am running a scan, so hopefully I am not badly infiltrated. In a way I hope it is a bad malware attack, as the only people who will want to read what is allegedly behind those headlines are rabid Lefties.
But speaking of that nasty little fascist Nazi, Elon Musk—you know, the guy who exhibits his fascism by enabling free speech–-there is this, about a new social media site:
The Post Millennial relays that the company’s creator, Omar Rivero, also runs Occupy Democrats. And on October 26th, Omar tweeted big news. Evidently, Elon Musk and Donald Trump are in with the Nazis:
“BREAKING: Elon…tweets a video of him moving in to Twitter headquarters, signaling that his purchase is complete. In retaliation to his plans to invite Trump & his neo-Nazis back, millions of angry Twitter users join @TribelSocial, a new pro-democracy Twitter alternative. RT!”The Post Millennial relays that the company’s creator, Omar Rivero, also runs Occupy Democrats. And on October 26th, Omar tweeted big news.

As the author of the article notes: Back to Nazis, would fans of Hitler relish free speech? Elon does. And some on the Left appear to find it frightful. To hear them tell it, free speech is a threat to free speech:
Love watching Christian McCaffery run up his list of achievements, after watching his dad play for the Broncos for so many years.
And of course I love McCaffery now that he is a 49er !!!! What a game he had
T-shirt of the day
LOL and an analogy even the stupid people can understand
“Gay lover spat? Mere political set up so they can blame the GOP? Who the heck knows.”
Who the heck knows, Mark! From the Federal Criminal Complaint:
“DEPAPE stated that he was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to yer. If Nancy were to tell DEPAPE the “truth,” he would let her go, and if she “lied,” he was going to break “her kneecaps.” DEPAPE was certain that Nancy would not have told the “truth.” In the course of the interview, DEPAPE articulated he viewed Nancy as the “leader of the pack” of lies told by the Democratic Party. DEPAPE also later explained that by breaking Nancy’s kneecaps, she would have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions. DEPAPE also explained generally that he wanted to use Nancy to our another individual to DEPAPE.
“DEPAPE explained that he did not leave after Pelosi’s call to 9-1-1- because, much like the American founding fathers with the British, he was fighting against tyranny without the option of surrender. DEPAPE reiterated this sentiment elsewhere in the interview.”
So much for your conspiracy theories, Mark.
That’s some scary shit forty. Weird how a deranged man in his underwear got into the home of the Speaker of the House so easily, and how Paul called him a friend on the 911 call while taking a break from the attack. But never mind all that, just focus on what the State media is telling you. That’s your speed.
“The idea that Pelosi’s attacker was in his underwear caught fire because a Fox News clip claiming as much went viral on Twitter. But Fox News was just parroting what another news outlet KTVU, had published. The news article erroneously reported that Pelosi’s attacker was in his underwear but was corrected and now reads, “CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misstated what clothing the suspect was wearing when officers found him.”
No cluster, he wasn’t in his underwear and he was trying to assassinate the Speaker of the House. Pretty obvious he was groomed by rightwing media.
Pretty obvious he was groomed by rightwing media.
“Obvious” to the Loony Tune Faction, that is. The man has been mentally ill and violent for years.
What I think is interesting is the new narrative, trying to shift the term “grooming” away from its pedophilia connotations into general influencing. Nice try, but pathetically transparent. Nope, you guys and your strident demands to be able to put porn into classrooms and school libraries, while you have female impersonators teaching tiny children to stuff money into G-strings as they illustrate sexually graphic grinding and skirt-flipping, OWN that word, and no, it has nothing to do with somehow influencing a nut job to act like a nut job.
LMAO. You are a hook line and sinker boy for sure. And you realize that you’re just “parroting” what you’ve read and heard, from the same people who told you Trump had prostitutes pee on him in a hotel room and colluded with Russia to win the Presidency. Don’t let that influence you though.
But hey let’s play this game, so was the guy who tried to stab Lee Zeldin groomed by leftwing media? Or the people who shot at Zeldin’s house not long ago? Or how about the guy who tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh? Leftwing media can be so dangerous.
“That’s some scary shit forty.

But never mind all that, just focus on what the State media is telling you. That’s your speed.”
lol. As I said, I quoted from the criminal complaint filed today in federal court, which itself quoted Depape from his interview with law enforcement investigators. Leave it to you to conclude that a federal court is “State media.”
As for how he got into Pelosi’s home, it’s in the criminal complaint. The assailant explained to law enforcement investigators that he gained entry to the house by breaking a glass door with a hammer.
Cluster, there are nuts on both sides. That said, my information comes from the FBI report.
Which is entirely unreliable unless confirmed by an outside source. You really have to keep up. For us, “FBI Report” and “National Enquirer Story” is “same/same”, with the benefit of the doubt given to the Enquirer.
As an aside, more reason for us to doubt the FBI – got revealed today that it was the FBI who led the charge in getting the social media companies to suppress the Hunter laptop story. Something 100% true, which the FBI had for a year before it got out, and the FBI’s reaction to the story breaking was to suppress it via cooperative corporations. There is a word, by the way, which describes Big Corporation and Big Government working together, Casper. Do you know the word?
But getting back to the Pelosi story – whatever happened what most certainly didn’t happen was an assassination attempt by a MAGA person. Whatever else the screwball was on about, MAGA wasn’t it. And no amount of false Narratives by the MSM will change that. Personally, I think it was a Grindr meeting that went wrong – but, we’ll find out (after the election: they won’t let anything like a fact get out before that).
Oh, really? The FBI report said that this lunatic had been “groomed” to attack Nancy?
“Which is entirely unreliable unless confirmed by an outside source. You really have to keep up. For us, “FBI Report” and ‘National Enquirer Story’ is ‘same/same’, with the benefit of the doubt given to the Enquirer.”
Oh gosh, I better keep up… Look, I understand that you and your cohorts think nothing can be trusted except for the least trustworthy sources (only if they agree with your worldview). It’s sad, really. Not that long ago you claimed there is no way to every fully prove or disprove that the Beatles played their instruments, despite overwhelming evidence that does prove it. You don’t have functioning analytical skills.
Forty, is this the same FBI that repeatedly lied to the American people about Russia collusion?
And curious how a deranged illegal immigrant was able to walk right up to Pelosi’s house with a simple hammer and gain entry. Don’t you think that’s a rather lax security system? Or do you even think about things like that? And why did Paul call him a friend and know his name with 911 operator?
Curious minds.
Cluster, are you talking about the Russian collusion that was documented by both the Mueller Report and the Republican lead Senate Intelligence committee? I read through both and it looks pretty compelling.
Meanwhile a MAGA, FOX, Trump, groomed supporter did his best to assassinate the Speaker of the House and ended up assaulting her husband. Can you imagine how upset the MAGA crowd would be if someone broke into Mara lago and beat up Melania?
Casper, this is why you were such a terrible teacher. You simply cannot process information, and on top of that your internal filters generate such vile garbage it stinks up the place.
The Mueller report did NOT document Russian collusion with Trump or anyone in his campaign. Neither did the Senate Intelligence Committee. There was an effort by Russia to influence the election, which they have done in every election for years. But no “collusion”.
Well, no collusion between Trump and any Russians. Hillary did collude with a Russian agent to help cobble together the bogus fantasy she and the DNC paid for in a pathetic effort to smear Trump, and depending on how far you want to stretch associations then the FBI colluded with Russia to lie to the FISA Court to get warrants to spy on Trump and his associates.
When did you start using MAGA as a pejorative? It’s pretty significant, I think, to see you and your fellow travelers claiming Make America Great Again is something to be ashamed of.
Not surprising, just significant.
casper, just when did you take that final step to demeaning the concept of wanting America to be great again? Was this always part of your consciousness, or have you just slid farther and farther to the Left as you age?
What is the source of the word “groomed” as you use it? Where did you see it used in an effort to shift it and its connotations away from the pedophilia and sexualization of children represented by your party, to simply mean “influenced”?
You also happily illustrate why you were such a terrible teacher. You simply cannot process information accurately. The Mueller report did not confirm that anyone associated with Trump ever “colluded” with Russia, and neither did the Senate report. What was found was Russian efforts to influence the election, which was nothing new—they have been doing that for years.
The only “collusion” was with Hillary when she hired a Russian agent to help cobble together a strange fantasy to try to smear Trump, when she and the DNC paid not only a Russian agent but a British one to help them rig the election. And depending on how many degrees of separation you accept, then the FBI colluded with Russia when FBI agents committed perjury to the FISA court, testifying to the accuracy of the bogus report.
Casper, you keep living in that little bubble of yours. It’s where you belong. And the media and FBI are not lying to you, promise. And please stay safe. There’s lots of viruses and white supremacy out there.
And please, no one would ever do that to Trump. He over powered two secret service agents, remember??
Meanwhile a MAGA, FOX, Trump, groomed supporter did his best to assassinate the Speaker of the House
LOL! That’s not who he is at all. Whoever told you that lied to you.
If that was his best effort, he’s not very good at this assassination thing. He hung around for a while, popped a guy in the head who was NOT the Speaker of the House, stopped the attack to let the guy call the police, and in general seemed like a pretty unskilled assassin.
And didn’t he say he didn’t want to kill Nancy, just cripple her? More of that poor processing of information from casper, but then he is aligned with the political movement that freely redefines words at will so maybe now a goal of hurting someone is the same as trying his best to kill her, even when she wasn’t even in the house.
casper is more like Joe all the time
Without being questioned, DePape told medics and officers at the scene that he was “sick of the insane [expletive] level of lies coming out of Washington, D.C.,” according to the court filing.
“I didn’t really want to hurt him, but you know this was a suicide mission. I’m not going to stand here and do nothing even if it cost me my life,” DePape allegedly said.
DePape is alleged to have told Paul Pelosi he “has other targets,” the court filing says. Later when the police asked him if he had any other plans, DePape allegedly “named several targets,” including a local professor and “several prominent and state and federal politicians” and their relatives.
The court document did not name any potential targets.
DePape allegedly told the police he intended to hold the House speaker hostage and interrogate her.
“If Speaker Pelosi lied to him, he intended to break her kneecaps,” Macbeth wrote.
DePape evidently did not strike Pelosi until the police arrived.
Eventually, Paul Pelosi called 911. But before the police arrived, Paul Pelosi “reached out and put his hand” on the handle of the hammer, over his fear that DePape would strike him with it.
Two police officers arrived and, seeing both with their hands on the handle of the hammer, one of the officers ordered DePape to drop it, but he did not comply.
DePape then allegedly “wrenched the hammer away” from Paul Pelosi, stepped back, and lunged at him, “striking Mr. Pelosi in the head at full force with the hammer.”
“The officers rushed into the house, tackled Defendant, and disarmed him,” the court filing says.
Remember when Lee Zeldin was almost stabbed on stage? I do. But I don’t remember any Democrat having to apologize for it.
Remember when Obama called Russia a “regional power” and nothing to be concerned about in the 2012 debate with Romney? I do. Weird how in just 10 short years, Russia is now the cause of all the worlds problems.
We need smarter people in office, and definitely smarter people voting.
