(RepublicanWire.org) – The January 6 riots have made headlines again after Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently described the attack, based on footage released to the broadcaster, as “mostly peaceful chaos”, despite multiple violent scenes caught elsewhere on film.

Multiple members of Congress, including former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, were filmed taking shelter elsewhere in the Capitol, co-ordinating the security response as rioters took over the building.

Amid the renewed focus surrounding that day, a number of social media users have claimed that not only was one of Pelosi’s relatives among the crowd but that he met its arguably most infamous participant, the so-called QAnon Shaman.

Multiple tweets posted between March 7-9, 2023, claimed that Nancy Pelosi’s son-in-law was pictured alongside Jacob Chansley, otherwise known as the QAnon Shaman, on January 6, 2021.

One tweet said: “Odd that Nancy Pelosi’s son in law had the opportunity for a photo op with the Qanon Shaman isn’t it?”

In a recent broadcast, Fox News host Tucker Carlson made allegations that Pelosi was ultimately in charge of the Capitol Police on the day, stating, “If there was a security failure on January 6, and demonstrably there was, it was probably Nancy Pelosi’s fault.”

Carlson also broadcast footage earlier this week of Chansley, dressed as what was subsequently dubbed the “QAnon Shaman”, walking through the corridors of the Capitol, accompanied by police.

Chansley, whose appearance that day endured as an icon of the riots, was sentenced to more than three years in prison for his involvement.

(RepublicanWire.org) – Back during the GOP civil war over who should be Speaker of the House, FNC’s Tucker Carlson suggested that Rep. McCarthy should show the right that he’s the right guy for the job by releasing the full footage of January 6th, something that Nancy Pelosi refused to do.

Speaking on that, Tucker said that McCarthy should release “the January 6 files—not some of the January 6 files and video—all of it. And not just some phony committee that will hide them, that in fact is designed to hide them from the public, but put them online. Release them to the public directly so the rest of us can finally know what actually happened on January 6, 2021. It’s been two years. It’s long overdue. It’s our right as Americans to know, and McCarthy could tell us.”

Tucker went on to say that McCarthy’s doing so would show that, though he’s not conservative as the right wants, enough to show that he’s at least listening to the base.

Well, McCarthy didn’t openly announce that he would do so at the time but, now, based on a recent response of his to a reporter, it looks like McCarthy might be willing to follow Tucker’s advice and prove his conservative credentials by releasing the tapes.

News on that came when McCarthy, while in the Capitol, was asked about releasing the footage by a reporter. She asked “…Congress called on Speaker Pelosi at the time to release the, the adjacent Capitol security footage of all things that happened on that day. Is that something that you’d be interested in doing? Congressman Gates said that he said that you would be willing to do that did that?”

Somewhat surprisingly to many on the right, McCarthy, said that he would do that, saying “Yeah, I think the public should see what has happened on that.”

Continuing, he then said “I’ve watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized it. Were for the first time in the history as a speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee to pick and choose. We watched the politicization of this, I think the American public should actually see all what happened instead of a report that’s written for political basis. And I think the answer we’re looking through that I want to be very thoughtful about it, but yes, I’m engaged to do that.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) reached his limit with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Mitch McConnell calling the $1.7 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill an abomination. He dragged the bill in front of reporters for a press conference where he correctly said, “the American people don’t want this —they are sick and tired of it.”

Rand said: “When was it produced? In the dead of the night. 1:30 in the morning is when it was released. Whose job is it to produce this?!

“I brought along the 1.7 trillion, 4,000+ page Pelosi-Schumer omnibus spending bill that’s being fast-tracked through the Senate. This process stinks. It’s an abomination. It’s a no-good rotten way to run government. We’re standing up and saying No.”

Paul also wrote and performed his own scary version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.’

“Twas the week before Christmas, and through the Senate and House, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The earmarks were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

“The senators were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of pork danced in their heads.

“No budget was found, just mischief and debt. While the taxpayers hung their poor heads and wept.

“Now, McConnell! Now, Schumer! Now, Pelosi and Vixen! On Biden! On Stupid! On Dumber and Blitzen! To debt! To bankruptcy! To free money for all! Now dash, dash away, more cash for all!

“This spending season, instead of naughty and nice, Santa brought everyone something regardless of price.

“And don’t forget a delicious candy cane, sweet with $40 billion to tide over Ukraine. Because of the climate, it’s not PC to leave coal. No one seems to care, because we’re trillions in the hole.

“Don’t worry about leaving the budget a mess. Democrats have given you 87,000 agents of the IRS

“But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight, ‘Happy bankruptcy to all, and to all a good night,’” he said.

(RepublicanWire.org) – On the morning of Oct. 28th, police arrived at the Pelosi home in San Francisco after 2 AM.  They reportedly arrived on a wellness check, not a robbery.  When the door opened the police reportedly saw Paul Pelosi and David DePape.  The police did nothing until DePape allegedly pulled a hammer from the much older Pelosi and allegedly hit Pelosi on the head.

The story is full of holes.  How did DePape get near the house without the cameras, security, police, and motion detectors locating him and stopping him?  How did DePape enter the house without someone notifying the Pelosis?   How did he know to go upstairs to see Paul Pelosi?  Why did Paul Pelosi answer the door and then walk back to his attacker?

For some reason, the camera footage from the house has not been released.  Is this because it doesn’t match the narrative created by the FBI?  Also, where is the camera footage from the police?  Why is this not being released?

We heard that DePape was in the hospital as recently as Monday, along with Paul Pelosi.  What are his injuries?  Why don’t we know? 

The media wasn’t allowed to be at the court hearing where DePape reportedly pled not guilty.   No one has even seen DePape since this incident.

And now this…

ICE officials are not allowed to talk to illegal alien David DePape.  They are being blocked by California officials.

Jon Feere, a former senior advisor, COS, Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), posted this on his Twitter account on Sunday.

FYI: Sources in ICE tell me that San Francisco is not allowing officers to interview Paul Pelosi’s attacker, David DePape; i.e., Dems and SFPD are siding with the alleged attacker. ICE routinely interviews jailed aliens to determine appropriate next steps, background, etc.

(RepublicanWire.org) – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer D-N.Y., and six other Democratic senators were spotted dining at Trattoria Alberto, a swanky Italian restaurant in Washington, on Monday evening, and the group was talking loud enough to be heard by other patrons, according to Punchbowl News. Schumer reportedly expressed confidence that Democrats would keep the Senate come November but said Republicans had a 60% chance of taking the House.

“During the dinner, Schumer let loose on a whole range of topics. Schumer spoke loudly, and his remarks were overheard by other patrons in the restaurant — and confirmed by multiple sources,” Punchbowl reported.

The other Democratic senators who were at dinner with Schumer when he made these comments were Delaware’s Chris Coons and Tom Carper, Arizona’s Mark Kelly, Maryland’s Chris Van Hollen, Colorado’s John Hickenlooper and Illinois’ Dick Durbin.

Schumer’s doubts about the Democratic majority in the House are a stark contrast to Pelosi’s own comments on Tuesday, in which she indicated a belief that Democrats will actually add to their House majority.

But Schumer’s comments at his Monday night dinner did not sound as confident as Pelosi’s speculation that Democrats will keep control of the House.

Punchbowl also reported on Schumer’s various other comments overheard at the dinner, regarding upcoming elections, as well as the current political landscape.

In regards to elections and political offices, the Schumer allegedly said that he believes former President Donald Trump will run again in 2024; Kevin McCarthy, the current House Minority Leader, “sucks up” to Trump; Democrats don’t look likely to win the Iowa Senate race; and Arizona’s Senate race will get more closely contested if Peter Thiel, a tech billionaire, decides to start pouring money into boosting Republican candidate Blake Masters.

On more current issues not directly related to the elections, Schumer also reportedly criticized Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia for saying that taxation was like “inflation” for wealthy Americans. Punchbowl reported that Schumer called that “ridiculous.”

Schumer also reportedly blamed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for Democrats’ failure to gain more House seats during the redistricting in New York.

Though the overheard discussion reportedly covered a broad range of topics, it seemed to come at a crucial time in light of Pelosi’s comments and the status of congressional races throughout the country.

(RepublicanWire.org) – A new report said Paul Pelosi sent a private investigator after the police report concerning his May 28 crash.

Pelosi, 82, who is the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was later convicted of DUI in the incident and sentenced to five days in jail, three years probation and participation in an anti-drunk-driving class.

“Earlier last week, a private investigator named Dawn King arrived at our office and attempted to obtain a copy of the crash report involving Mr. Pelosi and Mr. Lopez,” Captain John Blencowe, of California Highway Patrol wrote to Napa Deputy District Attorney Aimee McLeod.

“My staff requested an authorization letter to confirm she was representing a party of interest,” he wrote.

Blencowe said King came back with a letter from Amanda Bevins, an attorney representing Pelosi, that said King had been asked to get a copy of the report.

“My staff called Mr. Pelosi to verify these facts, and he confirmed that Ms. King was authorized to obtain a copy of the crash report on his behalf,” the captain added.

The public records unit of the California Highway Patrol also provided an email from Blencowe to Napa County District Attorney Jennifer Haley, written at 3:57 a.m. the day after the crash.

“We attempted to cite and release him, but he didn’t want anyone else to be aware of his arrest,” the email said.

“He was medically cleared at the Queen of the Valley Hospital before being booked into NCDC. My unit just finished booking him,” he wrote, using an acronym for the Napa County Detention Center.

Blencowe noted that the case would result in publicity.

“I wanted to make sure you were aware as his arrest will likely generate significant media attention. For now, we aren’t releasing any information to the media,” he wrote.

Official information about the incident went out eight hours later that day.

House Speaker Nancy was on official business in Rhode Island at the time and quickly distanced himself from the incident.

According to the detailed CHP report prepared by officer Jesus Perez, police arrived to find Pelosi in his battered silver Porsche Carrera 4S, which smelled of alcohol.

Pelosi was found to have a blood alcohol content of 0.082 percent, according to court documents. The legal limit for drivers in California is 0.080 percent.

(RepublicanWire.org) – No matter where she goes Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will catch some flak for her decision-making while there. While normally just a pitfall of the job (or a perk depending on your perception), for her in this situation it could prove to be disastrous for not only her political career but for Taiwan and possibly the US altogether.

While speaking at a press conference on July 20th, China spokesman Zhao Lijian gave his comments on Pelosi’s visit. “If Speaker Pelosi visits Taiwan, it would seriously violate the one-China principle and the stipulations in the three China-US joint communiqués and harm China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. It will have a severe negative impact on the political foundation of China-US relations and send a gravely wrong signal to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces. China firmly opposes such a visit.”

Condemning her visit is bad enough, but Zhao also covered how China would respond to such provocation was incredibly clear as well. “We urge the US side to adhere to the one-China principle and the stipulations in the three China-US joint communiqués. The US must not arrange for Speaker Pelosi to visit the Taiwan region and must stop official interactions with Taiwan, stop creating factors that could lead to tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and follow through on the US’s commitment of not supporting “Taiwan independence” …The US must assume full responsibility for any ensuing consequences.

Given the nature of China’s claim to Taiwan and any territory neat it a part of their empire, Pelosi has a chance to grab the dragon by the tail while there. The problem is this is a sleeping dragon that has been in rather peaceful slumber for decades now. Much like the bully that’s been on good behavior while the teacher is looking, they are devising a plan to make their attack when provoked or the perfect opportunity presents itself.

This visit could prove to be that provocation. As for the opportunity, the US is rather ripe for the attack now. Due to President Biden’s horrifically misguided policies, we are depleted militarily due to the COVID vaccine requirement. Many of the US-based food production and processing plants are incurring problems with fires, staying staffed, and getting in the proper supplies. Liberal “woke” policies have Americans going after one another, and our economy is in a bit of a tailspin due to this recession.

Needless to say, this would be one of the more strategically advantageous times for that dragon to wake up and bring the fight to us. While that certainly could trigger WWIII, this is a clear time for the risk to be at its highest, and Pelosi is fully aware of this risk. Despite that risk though, she is fully prepared to go forward with her visit to Taiwan and to act like she has no fear.

Fear is the one thing she should pack in her carry-on. While the US bends the knee to no man or empire, we should not be foolish enough to believe that we are untouchable. Especially with China already controlling a sizeable portion of US debt. As strong as our military was, this pandemic wiped out our numbers, and people like this half-brained Pelosi could easily change how the course of history goes simply because she is ignorant.

China previously warned her before her last planned trip back in April to Asia. After coming down with COVID she postponed the trip, and Taiwan has remained on that agenda ever since. As much as countries like North Korea tend to bluff and then do little to nothing in response to our actions, China hasn’t been presented with an opportunity to back up its words. Is right now truly the best time to test that; especially with Biden in office?

(RepublicanWire.org) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul bought up to $5 million in stock of a computer chip company ahead of a vote on a bill next week that would hand billions in subsidies to boost chip manufacturing, a financial disclosure shows.

Paul Pelosi purchased 20,000 shares of Nvidia, one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies, on June 17, according to the speaker’s disclosure report released Thursday. Now, senators will convene as early as Tuesday to vote on a bipartisan competition bill, which allocates $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and gives tax credits for production.

“It certainly raises the specter that Paul Pelosi could have access to some insider legislative information,” Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist for the left-wing think tank Public Citizen, said. “This is the reason why there is a stock trading app that exclusively monitors Paul’s trading activity and then its followers do likewise.”

Nvidia is a multinational corporation that designs and manufactures graphics processors and other technology, and is heavily reliant on semiconductors. The House passed a bill in February that included $52 billion in domestic subsidies for the semiconductor industry, and chip companies, including Nvidia, demanded Congress in June move forward on finalizing semiconductor subsidies for domestic manufacturing.

“The conference is stuck. And so it seems to me there are a couple of ways out of this, potentially,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday, noting that the bill would have a better likelihood of passing without the $52 billion funding for semiconductor manufacturing.

Republican South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman told the DCNF the “optics” of Pelosi’s stock disclosure “are horrible.”

“Obviously Speaker Pelosi would be aware of the timing of this legislation over in the Senate,” said Norman. “On the heels of that vote, for anyone in her orbit to purchase seven-figures worth of stock of an U.S.-based chip manufacturer just reeks of impropriety.”

Paul Pelosi, who was charged with two alcohol misdemeanors in June after getting in a driving collision that led to his arrest, also disclosed that he sold up to $250,000 worth of Apple stock and up to $5 million worth of Visa stock. The speaker’s husband is an avid stock trader and purchased more than $6 million worth of Nvidia call options in 2021, filings show.

(RepublicanWire.org) – Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was formally charged with a DUI misdemeanor after his May arrest for driving drunk.

Paul Pelosi, is now facing criminal charges after being arrested last month for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

“The charges filed today include Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol Causing Injury and Driving With .08% Blood Alcohol Level or Higher Causing Injury,” according to a press release from the Napa County District Attorney’s Office on Thursday.

In California, those offenses can be either misdemeanors or felonies, but in this case the district attorney’s office filed misdemeanor charges “based upon the extent of the injuries suffered by the victim.”

Paul Pelosi, 82, was arrested on May 28 after leaving a dinner at the home of a friend and Democratic donor about six miles from the Pelosis’ house, The New York Times reported. Pelosi was behind the wheel of his Porsche when he tried to make a left turn and was hit by an oncoming Jeep. In the immediate aftermath, authorities had said no injuries were reported. The Thursday statement from the Napa County DA did not elaborate on injuries suffered in the crash.

The 82-year-old husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), has a preliminary court date on August 3rd for his Memorial Day weekend DUI arrest in Napa County, California that involved a crash with his Porsche and a Jeep.

Pelosi is out on $5000 bail on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher.

According to the police report, Pelosi pulled out onto S-29 to cross it, ignoring a stop sign, and was struck by Jesus V. Lopez, who was driving a 2014 Jeep. Lopez was reportedly traveling northbound on the state road.

Jesse Watters uncovers hidden details in Paul Pelosi DUI case.

(RepublicanWire) – The husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was arrested and reportedly charged with driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher on May 29.

But what’s happened since?

On Wednesday, rumors circulated that Paul’s charges were dropped, sparking outrage online over the Pelosis’ perceived privilege.

“Serious question,” Donald Trump Jr. posted. “Did anyone really believe that Paul Pelosi would face any consequence at all for his DUI crash? Anyone who’s been paying attention knows that the rules don’t apply to Dems they just want you to abide by what they say not what they do. Recurring theme!”

The only information available, thus far, has been reporting from Edmund DeMarche, cited by Left-wing “fact-checking” site Snopes.

“Napa DA’s office just told the Trends Journal that Paul Pelosi’s DUI charge is ‘under review,’” DeMarche reported on Wednesday. “Reports that they were dropped are false.”
