Something’s up with the attack on Paul Pelosi. I’m not sure of the details, but people aren’t buying the story the cops are selling
This is pretty interesting. Matt Cariker (of Demolition Ranch fame) and his wife bought a decrepit abandoned mansion on a hill near their home in Boerne, TX (outside of San Antonio) about 2 1/2 years ago, with the intention of flipping it. In the end, they decided to keep it.
This is a summary of the entire process in one video:

FBI — It will take 66 years to release Seth Rich documents…

Information and material extracted from the computer were provided by a source to an FBI agent during a meeting on March 15, 2018. In the new filing, government lawyers said the FBI never extracted the data, which it revealed as originating with a law enforcement agency. They said the information is on a compact disc containing images of the laptop.
“The FBI did not open an investigation into the murder of Seth Rich, nor did it provide investigative or technical assistance to any investigation into the murder of Seth Rich. As a result, the FBI has never extracted the data from the compact disc and never processed the information contained on the disc,” they said.
To produce the information, the FBI would have to convert information on the disc into pages and then review the pages to redact information per FOIA, according to the government.
Yeah, there’s that pesky ‘source’ thing again

The future of computing, and election computing, is not size and scale, it is blinding speed, across trillions of records, from hundreds to thousands of databases, using daily or hourly snapshot analysis, delivered to your cell phone or tablet — to determine if a person changed their mind — this morning.
There is no need for long-term, predictive data models in a world where opinions on crucial issues change hourly.

Mike Lindell and Sheriff David Clarke asked us to run the Wisconsin voter rolls with our disruptive Fractal technology.
Voter integrity teams were ferociously analyzing state voter rolls with SQL, relational, Mongo, Excel type systems — the equivalent of emptying a swimming pool with a spoon. We loaded Wisconsin and within hours had it in their hands — no charge — finding registered voters living in laundromats and UPS boxes.
Word spread and we now run about 15 or 20 mostly swing states. We fund 90% of this ourselves.
Let’s compare what our Democrat team friends are doing with Fractal outcomes. Both teams have voter registration and history records. There are about 170 million eligible voters in the U.S.

Decided to watch the Ferns vs. Wales and was glad I did.
A Master …..errr Mistress Class in pro-Rugby by the Ferns against a young Wales team who were well outclassed but never gave up. 55 to 3 didn’t reflect the intensity of the game but it did showcase the incredible skill set that the Ferns have built.
Great game with some fantastic series of plays of VERY fast running Rugby on show. Now to watch the delayed ABs Japan game….

Look no further than Johnson City, TN, which nabbed the No. 1 spot on the latest quarterly Wall Street Journal/Realtor.com® Emerging Housing Markets Index. Residents of this small city of about 200,000, tucked into the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, can purchase a home in the metropolitan area for about $379,000. That’s about 11% less than the national median home list price of $427,250 in September.

BASED: Elon Musk Reminds Crooked Hillary There’s a “Tiny Possibility” David DePape Is Paul Pelosi’s Lover
https://thelibertydaily.com/based-elon-musk-reminds-crooked-hillary-theres-a-tiny-possibility-david-depape-is-paul-pelosis-lover/
The article cited sez: Ok, so here’s the theory, as related to me by a source: “Castro Nudists are a group of really radical gay male prostitutes that parade around naked with c–k rings. First of all, the Police did not come in response to an alarm. They come in response to a “wellness check”. So someone called them to check on Pelosi.”
“When he didn’t answer the phone, the cops broke the sliding glass door to get in. Pelosi was struggling with the suspect, who was in his underwear.
Pelosi owned the hammer. Not Depape. Or, the male prostitute was doing something Pelosi didn’t like.”
“And then there was the press conference when they didn’t know the mic was on. During that, a reporter confirmed that the suspect was a gay Castro Nudist, but they told him he couldn’t use it.”
“Now tell me something. This people are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Nancy is third in line to the presidency. You don’t think they have the most amazing security? And by the way, when Pelosi was in that drunk driving accident, he had a young man with him, and that too was covered up by the police and the press.”
“How would (suspect Depape) have been able to break a window that without triggering an alarm? He didn’t. The police broke the window to gain entry. There was only one hammer, and it belonged to Pelosi. And only ONE cop said he said “Where’s Nancy?” None of the others said that he said that. Probably the police broke the window, in order to get in to conduct a wellness check. “
“And one of them could easily have broken that window. Remember, there was no alarm triggered. How would (suspect Depape) have gotten into that house without doing that? The cops smashed the glass to gain entry.”
Who called 911 to initiate a wellness check? Either Nancy or her staff, who hadn’t hear from Paul all evening and suddenly it’s 2 am. Or a neighbor, hearing a fight at the Pelosi residence.
Admittedly, David Depape is a known nutcase. He’s an election denier, says mainstream media, who has posted conspiracy theories online. That may be true, but he also lives in Berkeley, where he is a 42 year old career student.
“My law firm served a lawsuit against Paul Pelosi one time in SF after attempting to serve at other residences-Napa, Georgetown. They weren’t home, but staff were, and multiple law enforcement officers were on the perimeter. Break-in is odd given this level of security.” said Harmeet Dillon, Republican National Committee Chairman
weirder and weirder. Cuz before I heard the cops had to break glass to get in
NBC News: Third Person Inside House During Attack on Paul Pelosi
“When the officers arrived and knocked on the front door of the residence this morning the door was opened by someone inside and the officers observed through the open door, Mr. Pelosi and the suspect Mr. DePape inside the entryway of the home,” Scott said.

This seems a lot like Uvalde where the police tried to control the narrative of a public event while they proceeded with their slow bureaucratic and corrupt analysis. Not a good look for America.
Pelosi’s husband is just arm candy to her. She favors political machine stuff over her husband. So he seeks out the people that give him attention. Meth addicts from Berkeley. To do that I would think he would have to also be doing meth.
I wouldn’t really care about their personal situation except I think Meth should be given no quarter. And that Speaker Pelosi has gone def con 3 and lost sight of her integrity. Like Fetterman she shouldn’t be in office.
I wonder if congress is ever patrolled by drug sniffing dogs?

Rayburn’s third and final tenure as Speaker from 1955 to 1961 was one of the greatest moments of his career. His protégé Senator Lyndon B. Johnson became Majority Leader mostly thanks to Rayburn maneuvering the Senate leadership and making deals to make sure Johnson became Senate Democratic Leader. The trio of Rayburn, Eisenhower, and Johnson worked together well and passed numerous landmark bills such as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act that established the Interstate Highway System, the National Aeronautics and Space Act that established NASA, the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 that established the FAA, the National Defense Education Act, the Colorado River Storage Project Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which were the first civil rights acts passed since Reconstruction.

Rayburn swears in Lyndon B. Johnson as Vice President on January 20, 1961 (1:19)
In 1958–59, Rayburn helped admit Alaska and Hawaii into the United States as the 49th and 50th states. Rayburn heavily fought for Alaska after realizing that then-Democratic Alaska would counter then-Republican Hawaii in the Senate and Electoral College.

The only glass that was broken was broken by the cops who had to break in to do a “Safety Check” after Paul Pelosi failed to answer the door. Pelosi admitted that his friend David was in the house , but where the hell was the house staff and the 24/7 Secret Service detail? It was after 2AM after the Castro District ‘gay’ Bars had closed. Did the SS get stood down as Pelosi settled down with his friend for the night? By the bye the hammer belonged to Paul Pelosi and when the cops finally showed up and broke in Pelosi and the suspect were still struggling over the hammer!

Martin Armstrong goes after Zelensky. He’s right
Never in all my career of dealing with governments have I ever witnessed such a bold-faced liar as Zelensky. He addressed the students and professors of Yale University, and boldly had the audacity to claim that it is in Ukraine that the global fate of democracy is being determined. The Minsk Agreement called for the Donbas to vote on their independence. Ukraine has refused to allow that ever to happen. His claim that the fate of democracy will be determined only if Ukraine can destroy all Russians is just outrageous.
.
.
All the declassified documents confirm that the American Neocons have been lying about Putin simply because they want war. They told Zelensky not to negotiate peace. Zelensky has sold his own country like Judas for a handful of silver. He has refused to negotiate any terms of peace whatsoever putting his people in harm’s way all for the Neocons who want to simply destroy Russia at all costs.

Congresscritter jokes!
A Montana cowboy was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud toward him.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?” The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, “Sure, Why not?”
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Iphone cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Ipad that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.” “That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says the cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then the cowboy says to the young man, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?” “You’re a Congressman in the U.S. government,” says the cowboy. “Wow, that’s correct,” says the yuppie. “But how did you guess that?” “No guessing required,” answered the cowboy. “You showed up here even though nobody called you, you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are, and you don’t know a thing about cows. This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog.”

Massachusetts wind power project ‘no longer viable’ without contract adjustments, says developer
The developer for a major offshore wind project in Massachusetts has asked state regulators to pause review of the contract for one month, saying that global price hikes, inflation and supply chain shortages are disrupting the plan.
The Commonwealth Wind project, which would supply 1,200 megawatts of offshore wind power starting in 2028, “is no longer viable and would not be able to move forward” under the terms of contract, according to a motion recently filed by the developer.
The rising cost of the Massachusetts project comes as the U.S. aggressively ramps up its offshore wind industry. The Biden administration has set a target for permitting 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030.

We had a political VIP show up unannounced yesterday, addressed the missus by her name. US Rep Alan Lowenthal. He was with Jay Chen who is running as his replacement.
The missus, a registered Democrat (& DINO), politely told them to fkoff when they started the lies. Lownthal’s a socialist, Jay Chen has CCP ties. Chen is running against Michelle Steel.
I take it as a good sign. If they have to canvass to convince registered democrats to vote for the democrat candidate, they’re in trouble. And scared.

Iron Fist was the ultimate impetus for getting us here. His wife and I are good friends and are always in touch.

Also, where to shop, dentists, etc. And just to BE HERE.

Woke feeling backlash at Cambridge University
Cambridge University alumni are pulling funding from their college in an intensifying row over the master announcing she was boycotting a “hateful” gender-critical speaker.
Helen Joyce, an author and former Economist journalist, was invited to Gonville and Caius College last Tuesday by Prof Arif Ahmed, a fellow, for a debate on gender ideology.
But in an “astonishing” intervention before she spoke, its master, Prof Pippa Rogerson – the most senior post – joined Dr Andrew Spencer, the college’s senior tutor, in telling all of the students that Ms Joyce’s views were “polemics”.
The head of Cambridge’s sociology faculty also apologised to students for the “distress caused” by sending them an email invitation to the talk.
.
.
Now, many alumni have written to the college, Cambridge’s fourth oldest, with major donors telling The Telegraph they are withdrawing their funds and bequests unless a retraction is issued.
…
One of the flurry of alumni to send protest letters since is Nick Sallnow-Smith, 72, who graduated from Gonville and Caius in 1973 and now convenes its Hong Kong chapter.
“I have been extremely upset by the way in which the master and senior tutor have behaved… it’s absolutely disgraceful,” he told The Telegraph.
“I certainly won’t donate anymore – with people like that in charge I will never donate again,” Mr Sallnow-Smith added.

This brought back a memory and it happened DECADES ago. Somebody left a multi-million dollar bequest to Yale to develop curricula on Western Civ.
And all hell broke lose.
I looked it up. 1995. $20mil. Yale returned the money.
Lee Bass ’79 would be giving Yale $20 million. It was an unusual gift for the University, not only because of its size, but because of the specificity of its academic purpose: the study of Western Civilization. Schmidt hailed the gift as “one of the largest and most inspired ever received by Yale.” Kagan, who had prompted the donation with a speech on the importance of placing Western studies at the center of a liberal arts education, called the Bass gesture a “splendid contribution to the future excellence of Yale College and the University.”
But four years later, Yale’s new President, Richard C. Levin, found himself giving Bass his money back. The amount is the largest ever returned to a donor by an institution of higher learning, and its loss has provoked widespread alumni rancor, raising questions about the nature of Yale’s undergraduate curriculum and underscoring the hazards of accepting gifts with special conditions. Particularly troubling to administrators is that the matter has tarnished the image of Levin, who had been riding a wave of enormous good will since taking office two years ago.

CNN Goes After Man’s Best Friend

Meghan and Harry seem to have split up. Legal separation via the ENGLISHS courts. Lady Colin Campbell reporting and she’d NEVER spit that out if she didn’t know it was solid. The defamation laws in the UK are draconian.
Over the book apparently. Harry didn’t want to pursue it, Meghan pitched a fit. Her sources: Harry has seen the light.
The other possibility is that this is a ploy to let Harry off the hook for the demolition the book is going to cause.

Snuff Radio: NPR Airs Audio of Woman Getting Abortion With Vacuuming, Moaning & Crying
I don’t know why they did this. Did they think it would ‘normalize’ it? I think they may have just shot themselves in the head.
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/tierin-rose-mandelburg/2022/11/03/snuff-radio-npr-airs-audio-woman-getting-abortion
@ eaglesoars:
On NPR’s Morning Edition, reporter Kate Wells traveled to Detroit to observe procedures and talk to patients inside an abortion clinic. In the Thursday segment, Wells aired the audio of an actual abortion that took place.
The audio is devastating. You can hear the patient nervously following through with the procedure. You can hear her moans and cries and worst of all, you can hear the vacuum machine that is slowly and loudly ripping apart the patient’s baby, limb by limb.
Meanwhile, Wells describes the atmosphere as “soothing” with the dimmed lights and music. She likens it to a “child birth,” but in reality, a child is being killed. This is a crime scene.
This has gone under the radar
Biden Admin Renews Public Health Emergency Over Monkeypox
https://www.theepochtimes.com/biden-admin-renews-public-health-emergency-over-monkeypox_4838762.html
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Biden administration on Wednesday renewed the public health emergency determination for monkeypox.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra said in a statement that his decision to renew the public health emergency was “a result of the continued consequences of an outbreak of monkeypox cases across multiple states.” He had consulted with public health officials before renewing the determination.
The Biden administration first declared monkeypox a public health emergency this year on Aug. 4. It would have expired Wednesday, Nov. 2, if it was not renewed.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky previously said the declaration would provide more “access to resources” and will “enable personnel to be deployed to the outbreak” in some areas. The emergency will also “further raise awareness” and encourage testing for monkeypox.
WHAT ‘outbreak’? And what pharma has developed ‘tests’? Lemme guess.

There, she was known for her vitriolic statements about conservatives, remarking that there is already a “civil war” happening in the United States, urged liberals to “pick up a weapon” in the fight for democracy, and called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “Justice Pubic Hair on My Coke Can.”
She’s also warned about “White replacement” on the show.
Cross’ divisive rhetoric is thought to have irked NBCUniversal honchos.
Shortly after the news of her exit became public, Cross began retweeting supportive messages from her fans. Many of the messages she shared were critical of MSNBC.

The simple answer: there has been no change in the number of people actually employed, but due to deterioration in the economy, more people are losing their higher-paying, full-time jobs, and switching into much lower- paying, benefits-free part-time jobs, which also forces many to work more than one job, a rotation which picked up in earnest some time in March and which has only been captured by the Household survey. Meanwhile the Establishment survey plows on ahead with its politically-motivated approximations, seasonal adjustments, and other labor market goalseeking meant to make the Biden admin look good at least until after the midterms…”
