On Wednesday, following two days of impassioned statements from victims and family members, Judge Jennifer Dorow imposed the statutorily mandated sentence, ordering Brooks to serve a life sentence without the possibility of extended supervision for each of the six counts of first-degree intentional homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon. The sentences will run consecutively, the judge said. In addition to six consecutive life sentences for first-degree intentional homicide, Dorow also imposed sentences Wednesday for Brooks totaling hundreds of years of additional confinement for the remaining 70 counts he was found guilty on last month. She sentenced Brooks to...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Republican reaction to the hammer attack on her husband Paul turned off voters. Anchor Dana Bash said, “You alluded to this when I asked about your husband. I want to ask specifically, and point-blank about the fact that there has been such extremism, such political violence, and what happened to your husband was horrific. Do you think that that had an impact on voters as they cast their ballot?” Pelosi said, “What I’m hearing is it wasn’t just the attack, it was the Republican reaction...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a new interview said the attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, will affect the decision she makes of whether to retire from Congress should Democrats lose control of the House in Tuesday’s midterm elections. “I have to say my decision will be affected about what happened the last week or two,” Pelosi told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in her first sit-down interview since the attack on her husband. Pressed further on if her decision will be impacted by the attack, Pelosi told Cooper “yes.” Pelosi’s full interview with CNN is scheduled to air at 8 p.m....

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a new interview detailed the moment she first learned of the attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, at their San Francisco home late last month. The Speaker, speaking with CNN for her first sit-down interview since the incident, said she was sleeping when she heard her doorbell ring. When she did not answer the door, Capitol Police officers began banging. At that moment, Pelosi said she was “very scared.”

It’s both amazing and unsurprising for a journalist to call for less evidence to be revealed in a story.The ongoing issue with the attack of Paul Pelosi last week is causing some problems for the media, one of those being that the story is, in fact, ongoing. As I mentioned on the last episode of The Lie-Able Sources VIP podcast, had they allowed this to be chalked up to an incident involving a local homeless individual, the story would likely be fading from the news cycle. But the insistence on making this a political hit job on conservatives–in the hopes...

A massive group of migrants crossed into the U.S. illegally on Monday waving a large Venezuelan flag after reportedly attacking Border Patrol agents. However, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agents pushed them back into the river using crowd control measures.

Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said Monday on “CBS Evening News” that Fox News host Jesse Watters has been “mocking” Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), for months which aided and abetted the home invasion hammer attack on him. According to an FBI affidavit, the suspect, 42-year-old David DePape, confessed to breaking into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home with the intent of breaking the Speaker’s kneecaps to “show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions.”

Former President Trump in an interview Sunday called the attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) husband in their San Francisco home a “terrible thing” as he railed against crime in Democrat-led cities. “With Paul Pelosi, that’s a terrible thing, with all of them it’s a terrible thing,” Trump said in an interview with Americano Media, a conservative Spanish language outlet. “Look at what’s happened to San Francisco generally. Look at what’s happening in Chicago. It was far worse than Afghanistan.”

NBC News walked back a report Sunday that there was a third person in Paul Pelosi’s home during the attack. “The SFPD also says that there were only TWO people inside the Pelosi home (Paul Pelosi and DePape) when they responded, clarifying statements made at Friday’s press conference which seemed to indicate there was a third person inside the home who opened the door,” wrote NBC investigative correspondent Tom Winter on social media on Sunday afternoon.

VIDEOThe media already has its narrative about alleged Paul Pelosi attack perp David Depape being a crazed MAGA supporter despite the police stating that they have found as yet no motive for the attack. However, when the facts are analyzed with just a bit of scrutiny a very different picture of the perp is revealed which is in stark contrast with what the media want you to believe.Of course the media, at least until November 8, will slam anybody questioning their convenient narrative as "Pelosi Attack Deniers" while purposely displaying NO CURIOUSITY about the case including more details about the...

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who chairs Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, condemned on Sunday a violent attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “​​It’s disgusting,” Scott told co-anchor Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.” He also addressed the attack on ABC’s “This Week” calling it “despicable” to co-anchor Martha Raddatz. “Well, we’ve got to figure out how to bring our country back together where we have a civil conversation and we have no violence. I mean, this — what happened to Paul Pelosi is despicable. It’s unacceptable,” Scott said.

We are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement...

The attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi was initially shocking, and the media was quick to blame Trump supporters or conservative activists. But details emerging show that though the event is still shocking, it shocks in a different direction. Here’s what Fox News says about the attack: The husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Paul, was assaulted with a hammer early Friday inside his San Francisco home by an attacker identified by police as David DePape, who a law enforcement source tells Fox News was shouting “Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?”San Francisco Police Chief William Scott...

The facts are still coming in regarding the horrific hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. MSNBC doesn’t need to wait for the particulars though; they already know who to blame—Donald Trump. An article by opinion columnist Ruth Ben-Ghiat, ostensibly about the assault, doesn’t even mention Mr. Pelosi in the first sentence:“We fight like hell,” then-President Donald Trump told supporters Jan. 6, 2021. “And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”What on earth does what Donald Trump said almost two years ago have to do with the crime, which...

NORTH PORT, Fla. – A Florida man was bitten by an alligator after apparently mistaking it for a dog in the middle of the night. WTSP reported earlier this week that a man in Sarasota County was walking outside the Warm Mineral Spring Motel in North Port just after midnight when he saw a figure moving in the dark. “He stated the figure appeared to look like a dog with a long leash, which is why he wasn’t hesitant to move out of the way,” a sheriff’s office spokesperson wrote in an email to WTSP. Deputies said that’s when the...

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Friday on her show “Deadline” that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) essentially ran the federal government during the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Wallace said, “I have asked every journalist that has been on this show since that attack was ongoing, and I still ask this question, who is functioning as the country’s commander-in-chief? Who sat atop the nation’s military? I worked for a president, and when he got a colonoscopy, and he was under anesthesia, you had to transfer those responsibilities of America’s commander-in-chief while you were under. The...

Germany fears an increase in attacks on infrastructure and possible sabotage. General Carsten Breyer, the commander of the territorial command of the Bundeswehr, warned about such risks for the country in an interview with Bild am Sonntag. “We are in command, first of all, we are ready for hybrid threats. This is a state between not quite peace, but not war either,” he said. The general noted that after the cases of drone flights over barracks and military facilities, as well as explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Germany’s defense forces have increased their readiness for possible new attacks....
