"Paul Pelosi was attacked inside his home around 2:30am yesterday by a gay Canadian nudist illegal alien who lives in a hippie commune in San Francisco under “sanctuary” status. What the two men were doing together in Pelosi’s home remains unclear. Hot takes and psyop propaganda are bloating the Internet right now. Stand by as facts emerge."

Pretty much all that is wrong in 2022 America neatly wrapped in a concise paragraph. You're gifted, Jeff.

The gated community that the Pelosis live in must have BLM and Antifa for security.

It wasn't reported in the MSM, for obvious reasons, that both Paul Pelosi and his attacker were in their underwear when the police arrived. I suspect it was a lover's spat gone very wrong.

The police reported Paul said David was a friend and they also reported both men had hammers. A story that would be commonplace domestic dispute if it weren't for the name.

Aerial shots of the home show a smashed window that supposedly the intruder broke to gain access. However, it's obvious to anyone with half a brain that the glass fragments are all over the place on the outside of the house, it was clearly broken from inside.

Who knows what the actual story is but the official narrative is obviously a lie (frankly what isn't these days?). Pelosi and her PR-flacks made it worse by spinning BS and demanding their "privacy" be respected. They would have been better off saying nothing.

Something about this story smells. Mainly by the fact the Dem Party and MSM are trying so hard to spin this as “right wing”. Which for Berkeley/San Francisco area, I find to be a biiiittt of a stretch. 911 call been released yet? You can’t tell me they don’t have exterior (covering all point of entry/exit) and probably interior security cameras. Release them. And, how can someone with the political and financial influence he(they) have not have armed security?? In one of the worst crime ridden cities in CA.

Am I the only one who recalls that Pelosi authorized/funded (details escape me) Capitol Police to open offices in NYC and SF, in the wake of 6J? Can someone who knows about this stuff please explain how CP got involved so quickly; is that ordinary when a Congressional member's family is threatened?

One more thing REALLY bothers me about the responses I have seen on the topic, especially from the GOP politicians: not ONE WORD about MTG having been swatted at least 6 times.

And because there are a bunch of smart people and maybe some investigators on this stack, I digress: somebody should be digging into the HHS Secretary, a member of the "pipeline from CA to DC". Just sayin', as a resident of the CS of CA when he was AG...Interesting nothing done yet.

I'd like to hear the testimony of the absent security force of the gated community.

While the Pelosis live in "one of the worst crime ridden cities in CA," they do not live in the precinct that she represents, which has no gated communities. If she had been in "one of the worst crime ridden cities in CA" instead of in Washington D.C., her Capitol Police security team would have been on the scene.

I just watched Ann Coulter's latest Substack. She said that the changed rules for Pennsylvania in 2020 are still in place. If so... we should just assume Fetterman is winning regardless. I hate to be a downer, but I still relive the pain of seeing Trump up by 700K votes on election night and watching it evaporate after days of ballots rolled in after the election with unmatched signatures.

I have never wanted to be so wrong about anything as I am this.

DogsLife's avatar

Well actually the courts just ruled PA cannot count undated ballots, which they did in 2020. In fact, they counted everything that should have been disallowed, in 2020. So they've already got 640,000 ballots, mailed in before the debate debacle. Who knows what they will actually allow behind closed doors. They are already saying don't expect to know on election night. https://www.pennlive.com/elections/2022/10/why-results-might-not-be-known-on-election-day.html (Mind you, this is PA's WaPo.)

Does Ann Coulter require her commenters to pay for the privilege?

Expand full comment
Jeff C's avatar

First it's an idea, then it's a movement, then it's a business, then it's a scam. Supposedly charging people for the "privilege" to comment improves comment quality (the fact that it fills the posters pockets is purely coincidental).

Take Berenson as an example. His Substack says "tens of thousands of paid subscribers", if you do the math on that it's pretty eye opening. Subscription is $5/month and Substack's website says the author gets around 80% of it. So that's $4 times 20,000 ("tens" of thousands) = 80 grand per month!! Yet Berenson is supposedly too poor to sue Twitter on his own and has to beg for funds from readers, while then settling with Twitter in secret. If you challenge him on it he threatens to sue like he did to Jordan Schachtel.

Wake up people, you are being used. When you comment on a post you are providing content that draws eyeballs to the site. Doing that for free is bad enough, but paying for the privilege? Absurd.

I'm a paid subscriber here because some kind soul gifted me a subscription, but even if that had not happened I might consider it. The reason is because Jeff operates this Substack as an informative public service, not as some racket hawking paid subscriptions. Jeff actually has a day job and this is a hobby. Not so for many of these supposed "influencers" as this is their hustle.

UPDATE: Oh my, about an hour after posting this I got an email allegedly from "Alex Berenson at Unreported Truths" titled "you're on the list!!" that said:

"Thanks for joining the Unreported Truths crew! I hope you’ll spread the word - on Twitter, Facebook, and just to friends. And if you decide to become a paid subscriber… I won’t say no. Either way, glad to have you"

LOL, you can't make this stuff up. I've never subscribed to AB either paid or unpaid, have never before received an email, but have commented there in the past. You have to admire his chutzpah.

Jon Stephenson's avatar

I was listening to Baris and Barnes the other day and they believe that generally the red wave will be outside the margin of fraud (generally a point or two, maybe a little more in 2020). However, they are specifically concerned about PA and NV, two states that are closely split D to R, have horrible voting laws and administration, and had the worst evidence of fraud in 2020. Fetterman may lose anyway because he is so uniquely unfit but the governor may be lost to fraud (and having Mastriano in would be way more valuable than having OZ, sadly).

If Fetterman wins, it would suck, but I'm sure Republicans will take the senate, so it may not matter in short term.

1) I don't see how someone can add you as a free subscriber without having your email address... unless you hit the wrong button at some point (I don't use the app) or are lying, this makes NO sense...

2) FYI: On Substack, every post has a setting when it comes time to publish:

"This post is for...

Everyone

Paid subscribers only

MORE OPTIONS

Founding members only

Free subscribers only"

AND

"Allow comments from…

Paid subscribers only

No one (disable comments)"

I think there is also a DEFAULT setting somewhere in the settings for all posts...

When you ONLY allow paid subscribers to comment, you create the same sort of echo chamber the left dwells in and I find it annoying plus you cannot get feedback from readers who might otherwise subscribe... To Alex's credit, he has a mix of posts where non-payees can subscribe. HOWEVER, Malone is another one who never allows non-payers to comment... Same with practically all the Leftists (not that many) or Neocons who have Substacks...

3) Substack sometimes makes minor tweaks at the backend e.g. they have given more options regarding who a post is for...

Yep, I've had a bad vibe about Malone for a while now in spite of his great work in exposing this (the same can be said about Berenson). I'm a capitalist and believe people should be paid for their work. However, when people adopt an idealistic cause, and then turn it into a way to line their pockets, it sets off huge warning signs. That's one of the things I love about Igor Chudov who wont even allow paid subscriptions for this reason.

Remember how AB attacked Malone seemingly out of the blue on some TV show awhile back? My suspicion is it happened not because he thought Malone was wrong, but because he viewed Malone as a competitor. FUD is the oldest trick in the book.

The Pelosi thing reminded me of Jussie Smollett when I read about it. The immediate blaming of Republicans and “right wing extremists” as well as the weird situation with suspicious elements. Something fishy with all of this.

“My breasts were beautiful, now they’ve been incinerated, for nothing,” she added, sadly.”

The fear campaign has been fueled and perpetuated by the army of the gullible and the fearful. The "I heard" and "my buddy told me".

No one has ever understood that, even if the misguided sheriffs and public health officials imposed fines or "keep closed" orders and even enforced them, the owners and individuals WOULD and COULD seek legal remedy.

I am guessing millions of people are poor & lacking in basic needs--I for one lost my car in an accident 3 years ago & was not able to buy another. Between not having a car & my health not being adequate to standing in line waiting to vote I am dependent on being able to use mail in voting & I suspect many elderly or disabled are in the same pickle.

Former Colorado State Senator, Kevin Lundberg, keeps an eye and ear out for all things corrupt. In his weekly email he sent this gem:

"Have Online Military Votes Been Stolen?

Last year I was made aware of an extraordinary story from a very republican county in Colorado. In the 2020 election an election worker observed an impossible vote pattern from military and overseas voters.

By federal law they are allowed to vote online. The information is collected by a private company and transmitted to local counties where the votes are transferred individually to paper ballots. The election worker told me she helped do this to 20-30 batches, which held 50-100 ballots in each batch. The statistically impossible detail is that, except for no more than 1-4 ballots in every batch, all of the ballots were straight party-line votes for the democrat candidates. Hmmm… is it possible that a red county would produce 90 – 99% democrat votes 20-30 times over? I don’t think so.

I passed this troubling information on to several election integrity experts, but little was done with it.

Then this week I came across the name of that private company and it turns out it is the same company whose CEO was arrested earlier this month in Los Angeles for election malfeasance. Eugene Yu’s election-logistics software firm, Konnech, has been sharing personal information of poll workers with a software firm in China. This was serious enough to put him behind bars. Stealing votes, and military votes in particular, is much more serious.

This needs to stop before one more military vote is counted through this obviously corrupted vote collection system. I pray every county clerk verifies that this is not happening with their military and overseas votes."

Yesterday he provided this: "Last week I reported on the impossible vote pattern from military and overseas voters that was seen by an election worker in a Colorado county in 2020. The details can be found in article 1 of last week’s report.

This is a big deal, which deserves more attention. For a deeper dive into the private election software company that is behind all of this click here. It is an hour+ program, but start it at the 40 minute mark and listen for at least five minutes and/or the 55 minute mark."

"...has been sharing personal information of poll workers with a software firm in China..."

If you pay attention, you'll see that everything eventually leads back to China. Long before 2020, the CCP captured the Democratic party (and some of our RINOS) and then installed their Bolshevik underlings into the White House through massive voter fraud. Simultaneously, they launched their bio-weapon/kill shot warfare upon the American people and their Bolshevik Woke-ism upon American culture. There has to be a point where awareness among the American people that they are being attacked will reach critical mass and take action. I just hope they don't run off a cliff like a herd of buffalo.
