You'll notice the activists and radicals flee once things like evidence, documents, analysis, video, quotes and more information becomes present. They literally run like roaches fleeing when someone flips on the kitchen light in the middle of the night. To answer your earlier question - Paul Pelosi had to hold onto the cocktail. It's not like DePape could sip from the glass with his mouth already full.

“Why Pelosi didn’t try to flee or tell responding officers he was in distress is unclear,” Almaguer said in his original report, suggesting that Pelosi wasn’t in immediate danger when police arrived....Almaguer concluded his report by saying, “We still don’t know exactly what unfolded between Mr. Pelosi and the suspect for the 30 minutes they were alone inside that house before police arrived.” Mainstream news organizations rarely remove published work from their websites, but NBC decided to pull Almaguer’s story around midday Friday, after it began to spark comment and speculation on social media. It offered no public explanation at the time, appending an editor’s note on “Today’s” website, reading: “This piece has been removed from publication because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/11/05/nbc-paul-pelosi-retracted-story/

We do have an extremely wealthy economy and we shouldn’t rely on anyone else. Point taken. Second from what I’ve seen homelessness, which is never good anywhere, is worst of all in San Francisco and Berkeley. In the city of Berkeley they have their own newspaper, and unofficial political representatives. There are, quite literally, homeless on every major street and corner of Berkeley. They’re everywhere, and they’re the main reason neither of my daughters decided to apply at Cal, even though they both loved the campus. But what to do about it? Both San Francisco and Berkeley have attempted tons of programs, spent lots of money. The result has been more homeless, not less, as the programs attract them. Now Rudy Giuliani infamously had an opposite approach: as mayor, he had the police intimidate, scare, and chase homeless away and made them feel unwelcome. Their civil rights were violated, but the result is that ever since Time Square in NYC is a nice safe place to take your family, and Union Square in San Francisco is not. I acknowledge that fact. But morally I can’t go along with what Rudy did and I’m glad that California isn’t doing it. "

Secret Service agents protecting Biden's granddaughter open fire on carjackers ....Agents assigned to protect Naomi Biden shoot at 3 criminals attempting to carjack Secret Service vehicle in Washington DC.....The incident occurred Sunday night in the Georgetown neighborhood. Agents assigned to protect Naomi Biden spotted three people attempting to break into an unmarked Secret Service SUV, the Associated Press reported. One agent drew his weapon and opened fire, prompting the thieves to flee. They spread away in a red car. No one was injured in the incident, nor were any of the criminals struck when the agent fired at them. The Secret Service sent out a bulletin to law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for the suspects' vehicle. The US capital has seen a rise in crime rates and especially carjackings in 2023. Since the beginning of the year, an estimated 6,000 vehicles have been stolen in 750 carjacking cases. In October, US Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) was carjacked at gunpoint not far from the Capitol building. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/380243 Report: Secret Service Fired Shots Over Possible Threat To Biden Granddaughter No injuries were reported after agents assigned to protect Naomi Biden, the granddaughter of the president, opened fire after seeing three people break a window of their unmarked Secret Service vehicle, according to the AP.....Washington D.C. had doubled the number of carjackings in the city from last year’s total as of early October, the Washington Times reported.....Car thefts have risen nationwide with 30 major cities reporting a 59% increase between 2019 and 2022 and 10 other cities—including Chicago, Denver, Memphis and Minneapolis—seeing rates double or triple, according to a January report by the Council on Criminal Justice. BIG NUMBER - 17. That's how many arrests had been made in Washington D.C.'s 806 carjackings as of October 24, Fox 5 reported. That carjacking total is well above the 387 reported by that time last year in 2022 and last year's year-end total of 484. Of carjacking arrests, 64% involve juveniles, according to Fox 5. KEY BACKGROUND - Naomi Biden, 29, is the oldest daughter of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's second son with late wife Neilia. She was married on the White House's South Lawn last year. The last time a direct descendant of the president was married at the White House was in 1971, when President Richard Nixon’s daughter Tricia Nixon married in the Rose Garden. TANGENT - A good Samaritan was praised in Houston this weekend after he pulled a police officer to safety after he was injured in a shootout with a carjacking suspect Saturday morning. The officer was shot in the leg and is expected to recover, local station ABC 13 reported. Houston saw a 35% increase in car jackings from 2019 to 2022, according to the Council on Criminal Justice. A Chicago family was violently carjacked at gunpoint in their driveway last week; seven minors were arrested in a carjacking in Portland, Maine, after allegedly holding a 75-year-old at gunpoint Friday night; and a pregnant woman was saved from being carjacked at a Starbucks in Florida last week by a U.S. Army veteran. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2023/11/13/report-secret-service-fired-shots-over-possible-threat-to-biden-granddaughter

This the major critical point that will tragically be ignored. Much harder times are coming. Makes me think of The Book Of Eli, when Denzel Washington tells Mila Kunis, who was playing a character too young to remember, "that people routinely threw away things in the past that they would kill each other over for right now" I wouldn't say this currently is the end period, as much as I would say it's undeniable that these current times are the "beginning of the end" And it will devolve and cascade into chaos rapidly. Untold savagery will sweep through this country like locusts. Coming like a thief in the night.

Some thoughts 1) I'm glad no innocents were hurt, injured or shot. ( Anyone who operates as a carjacker is not an innocent. Anyone who serves in sworn law enforcement understands that being hurt, shot or killed is part of the job risk. That being said, I am glad no one in the USSS was injured or killed here) 2) This further shows the "gun debate" in this country is over. You are on your own. Even the leftist elites can't protect their own. However your tax dollars are spent for them to be guarded by highly trained men with heavy firepower, while many of them want to take your guns away. I'm not saying I agree with each and every Pro-2A stance in this country, but the hypocrisy is obvious and blinding 3) I have no quarrel with traditional liberals, but for the typical virtue signaling responses of the activist radical left - How long do you think they'd hold those "positions" if it was their children and grandchildren under threat from hardened criminals, possible armed threats and carjackers? 4) The combination of "Defund The Police", the aggressive anti law enforcement sentiment pushing toxic public policy ( particularly in Big Blue Cities and hard Blue strongholds), the cooked "bail reform" culture of the activist left, the demand for "equity" in who should be in prison or jail for violent crimes, the woke Soros bought district attorneys who refuse to actually do their jobs and allow crime to run rampant and terrorize the average working class American - What did anyone think was going to happen? Some of you voted for this. Along with many out there. You voted to make it easier for your children to die. Congratulations. 5) Maybe Naomi Biden should have paid more attention to the kind of "right wing" news outlets she criticizes. The ones who were willing to say that violent crime, ever increasing, is a problem and has been since "The Summer Of Love" Maybe her decision making and choices would have been different instead of being soaked in hard leftist media that pretends nothing is wrong and crime isn't that big of a deal and is only a "Republican fear mongering point" She had protection, where their training costs and logistical pathway COSTS YOU THE TAX PAYER MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to give her full time round the clock security coverage. You, however, the rank and file average American don't get any of that. You are on your own. No one is coming to save you. Team Blue might have some lifeboats after setting this entire country on fire, but do some of you activist radical leftists think they'll let you on board? Do you think they'll save your children from harm when it doesn't fit their "narrative"?

"You spew more hateful rhetoric around here than anyone else by a wide margin." "But everyone ELSE is a bootlicking fascist browncoat. The entire foundation of MAGA is projection of its own ends onto that of their enemies. Democracy and freedom are the enemies of MAGA." "You are the living embodiment of why people hate MAGA. Too simple minded and brainwashed to see what is right in front of your faces, yet still arrogant enough to tell you what you're thinking is wrong, despite being wrong about what you think."
