Yes it seems to be.

From an article on the matter:
DePape, who lived in a garage in the Bay Area city of Richmond and had been doing odd carpentry jobs to support himself, allegedly told authorities he had other targets, including a women's and queer studies professor, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, actor Tom Hanks and President Joe Biden's son Hunter.

The professor, who is also expected to testify next week, was DePape's main target and DePape went to the Pelosis' home to have Nancy Pelosi “lure her out,” Linker said.

San Francisco Police Acting Lt. O'Connor, who helped process the crime scene, testified she collected a sleeping bag and two backpacks from the Pelosis’ patio that DePape allegedly brought with him. Items in the backpacks included a sledgehammer, zip ties, gloves, duct tape, cash, a Canadian passport, a Canadian birth certificate, men’s clothes, a video game console, and two inflatable, multicolor unicorn costumes, she said. ___ This story has been corrected to show that defense attorney Jodi Linker said her client believed “with every ounce of his being,” not “with every ounce of his body.”
 
Yes it seems to be.

From an article on the matter:
I wonder which video game console? I hope it was a Dreamcast.

Defense attorney Jodi Linker said Thursday she won't dispute that her client David DePape attacked Paul Pelosi, an encounter caught on police body camera video. Instead, she will argue that he believed “with every ounce of his being" that he was taking action to stop government corruption and the abuse of children by politicians and actors.'
We were denied a lolcow. Remember what they took from you.

Already the coverup begins.
 
Notice how its in San Fran (since the Chinese own Cali) instead of in DC.
I wonder if Xi plans to take a tour of San Francisco, and use that to humiliate Biden? Maybe arrange for a high ranking ambassador to be robbed in broad daylight or attacked so that he has an excuse to freeze relations even more.

San Francisco is a dumpster fire, and there is little reason to go there unless you're prepared to see the very worst of America.
 
After the shit with the Ali Baba guy and a few other examples. He made it real fucking clear globalists were not welcome to setup shop in his country. The propaganda was China was the future rar rar has all dried up in the last few years. Now its "get ready for war over Taiwan".

Now the globalists are moving factories out of China and trying to back track with various degrees of success. They are worried about losing Taiwan to a nationalistic China. There's been a pivot on China with the globalists if you pay attention.
Interestingly enough In the short term china is actually supporting America in the middle east. It's completely for self interest but If things go pair shaped it will hurt them just as much as us. So they have a vested interest In making sure Israel wins as they are significant trade partners. Plus Ive heard speculation we'll lift sanctions or something in exchange for their assistance.


If America gets taken out as a superpower and withdraws from global trade it's going to be bad for everyone. I don't think people understand how big the potential for piracy is without American protection. We are the biggest navy in the ocean that protects the most ships making cargo runs.

I was reading a great book on this subject and it was pretty crazy. Basically without American support and trade most countries will implode and be forced to take drastic options and inroads simply to survive and provide for their people. China and Germany would 100 percent collapse. France would do ok. South America would be fucked or actually forced to be productive for once. The middle east would be fine.

Basically America would be ok if it taps into it's own resources but most of the others have to build alliances and do questionable things to maintain themselves in the face of food and mineral shortages.
 
So I didn't follow the recent elections very closely. How did Republicans lose in all these red states? Is the SC giving states the choice on whether people should drive a little longer for their abortions that big of a deal to so many people that literally nothing..be it war, jobs etc else matters?

Not fully up to date on everything, but I believe there was more fund withholding because the wrong type of Repubs were running.

As it turns out, when you don't come down hard on fraud and cheating, the other side gets used to doing it. Republicucks did this to themselves because the party couldn't stand handing trump power. And this on top of other factors like: generational views and demographic shift.

Even though, there is 99% of the vote left if to keep or not keep abortion, this came out from the House Republicans of Ohio.
Here is the text from November 2023 Ohio Issue 1 directly:
Be it Resolved by the People of the State of Ohio that Article I of the Ohio Constitution is amended to add the following Section:

Article I, Section 22. The Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety

A. Every individual has a right to make and carry out one's own reproductive decisions, including but not limited to decisions on
  1. contraception;
  2. fertility treatment;
  3. continuing one's own pregnancy;
  4. miscarriage care; and
  5. abortion
B. The State shall not, directly or indirectly, burden, penalize, prohibit, interfere with, or discriminate against either:
  1. An individual's voluntary exercise of this right or
  2. A person or entity that assists an individual exercising this right
unless the State demonstrates that it is using the least restrictive means to advance the individual's health in accordance with widely accepted and evidence-based standards of care.

However, abortion may be prohibited after fetal viability. But in no case may such an abortion be prohibited if in the professional judgment of the pregnant patient's treating physician it is necessary to protect the pregnant patient's life or health.

C. As used in this Section:
  1. "Fetal viability" means "the point in a pregnancy when, in the professional judgment of the pregnant patient's treating physician, the fetus has a significant likelihood of survival outside the uterus with reasonable measures. This is determined on a case-by-case basis."
  2. "State" includes any governmental entity and any political subdivision.
D. This Section is self-executing.

Seems like a court case waiting to happen but we'll see what takes place.
 
I'd have corrected it if it was a bombing of your fucking house, you yellow commie cocksucker.

I don't give a shit if it's the potato snatchers bombing the potato smugglers, or the foreskin chewers bombing the goat fuckers.

I'd have corrected it just like you'd correct someone on the proper way to run over civilians with fucking tanks.
Don't be ridiculous. According to them ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED THAT DAY in Tiananmen Square.

Of course, immediately after that they also claimed the entire city was being attacked by violent protesters and the CIA smuggled the instigators out.
 
Its also a bullshit rate for Trump, he put Powell in as Fed chair specifically to raise the Federal Funds rate from 0.25% and managed to get it to something like 2.50% just before covid, this also raised the prime rate for mortgages. Once covid set in everything dropped back to 0.25%. Also the prime rate being at such a rate isn't exactly a bad thing, its actually normal, the insanely low rates over the 2010s was and remains a serious problem that caused asset price inflation that is devastating the future opportunities of Millennials and Zoomers.
The funds rate is still too low. Interest rates below the rate of inflation make no economic sense and just cause a wealth drain that flows from the rest of the country to Wall Street.
 

This is good Vivek interview because he spills all the tea about the debate and it's within the first 10 minutes, and how they did walkthroughs for the debate that morning, Ronna came up to him to hug him and he blocked her with just a handshake and he questioned Ronna about last night and she got defensive,"what happened last night?" Then she said she had nothing to do with last night (the election results) and she refuses to fall on the sword.

edit: he also points out how the RNC won't let Vivek debate Chrispy Creme yet they'll allow Meatball to debate California Psycho on FOX because they're desperate for Rob to make headwinds.
