[NYPOST] The man who allegedly tried to stab Republican candidate for New York governor Lee Zeldin with a bladed weapon during a campaign stop on Thursday was released from jail within hours of his arrest on a felony charge — just as Zeldin had predicted.
David Jakubonis, 43, from Fairport, New York, was arraigned overnight in Perinton Town Court on a count of second-degree attempted assault stemming from the attack on Rep. Zeldin but was quickly released on his own recognizance.
In a tweet after the violent mostly peaceful incident in Monroe County, Zeldin, who is running as a tough-on-crime candidate against incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, said he expected his alleged assailant to be back on the streets in no time.
"His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were ’you’re done’, but several attendees, including @EspositoforNY, quickly jumped into action & tackled the guy," the gubernatorial hopeful tweeted early Friday. "Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes. The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws."
[NYPOST] The mental state of a New York man who allegedly attacked Congressman Lee Zeldin dramatically worsened following the decorated vet’s discharge from the Army and the death of his wife, The Post has learned.
David Jakubonis, 43, of Fairport, spiraled into a "rapid decline" in the aftermath of the death of his wife, Candyce, and his medical discharge in 2012, a former neighbor told The Post on Friday.
"He’s going through some kind of mental break," said the neighbor, who asked not to be identified due to fears of reprisal. "He became more and more detached over the years after his wife died."
The former neighbor said he used to spend time with the decorated veteran, his wife and their twins while living in Fairport about a decade ago. Jakubonis tried to keep up their relationship as acquaintances, but his regular messages were hard to follow.
"He’s a peculiar guy, he has social issues," the ex-neighbor said. "He would say or do things like an adolescent would do."
Jakubonis and his late wife were heavy drinkers, the neighbor alleged, adding his opinion that the Army vet still had issues with booze.
"I believe he still drinks a lot," the neighbor alleged.
Jakubonis, who never discussed politics or mentioned being angry at anyone, reached out to his former neighbor as recently as Wednesday via Facebook and phone, but the neighbor said he didn’t pick up.
"Honestly, bro, there was something that I couldn’t place with him," the man continued. "There was something not right about how he would talk. Not like I thought this guy was going to go nutso, but he didn’t seem connected to reality."
Jakubonis’ brother was granted custody of the vet’s two children following his wife’s death, according to the neighbor, who said he wasn’t shocked when told of Thursday’s attack.
One of Jakubonis’ current neighbors, who also didn’t want to be named, told The Post he had been acting strangely over the last month or two — and had taken to blasting loud music in his apartment.
"He’s always been quiet, he’s always been cordial, but as of late he’s been kind of loud," the neighbor said.
The neighbor added they’d overheard Jakubonis speaking to a property manager at the complex Friday morning and the word "relapse" was thrown into the conversation.

Prepare for Hillary to run in 2024 and get the Democrat nomination. It's her destiny and she'll see to it that Biden is not able answer the call. He'll have some kind of medical condition like no pulse or brain activity and she'll step in and accept the nomination.
The Biden handlers hold no regard for US LAW and the SCOTUS.
It even has congressional (LSD's) members openly encouraging and joining its version the SA "Brown Shirts" to attack Justices and opposing political views.
NOTE: With growing number of 5/4 votes against the ABNORMAL LSD agenda issues. It is clear the Biden Handlers, LSD's and DC Swamp are trying to create a vacancy on the SCOTUS to fill. In order to push their Abnormal Social agenda forward.
[NYPOST] The New York Times
... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... on Thursday disavowed a doctored image of an op-ed with the headline: "Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... ’s death would be a tragedy. But it might help the Democrats win the midterms."
A Twitter user with the handle "KnowNothingTV" posted the fake op-ed on Thursday — shortly after it was revealed that President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier. Of course Corn Pop is a real person....... tested positive for COVID-19.
The Times’ public relations arm felt compelled to put out a brief statement on Twitter after the image went viral, generating more than 5,800 likes and nearly 180 retweets.
"This screenshot is a fake image. The New York Times did not write or publish this story," the Times’ communications team wrote on Twitter.
The Post has reached out to the Twitter account user "KnowNothingTV" seeking comment.

Trump advisor now faces up to a year in federal prison after jury took three hours to reach verdict
The jury found Steve Bannon guilty of a misdemeanor contempt of Congress charge
Bannon thanked the judge and jury, but said he only had one disappointment after he was found guilty: 'The gutless members of that show trial J6 committee didn't have the guts to come down here and testify'
DOJ lawyer Gaston said that Bannon made an 'intentional' choice not to comply and said his executive privilege argument does not carry weight
'His belief that he had an excuse not to comply does not matter, that is not a defense to contempt,' she said
Bannon's attorney suggested the trial was politically motivated and accused the DOJ of bringing in biased witnesses
Bannon declined to speak in his own trial
His attorneys wrapped their case without presenting a defense to jurors

Should've went with the usual Democrat defence - "I don't recall / remember" and "I take the Fifth" on the rest of them, all the while rubbing his dick - that's how you do contempt.
#5
Honestly, he should have gone to congress and just sat there and not said a word or if they demand you speak simply say "Joe Biden was not elected to his current office."
#7
I seem to remember Eric Holder ignoring a Congressional subpoena.
Of course, that's different so...Shut Up!!

18 USC 402: Contempt constituting crimes
In effect on July 22, 2022
... in no case shall the fine to be paid to the United States exceed, ... the sum of $1,000, nor shall such imprisonment exceed the term of six months.
[FoxNews] One of President Biden’s latest judicial nominees serves on the board of a group that backed calls to defund the police and has called to abolish prisons.
Biden nominated Roopali Desai, a litigation partner at the law firm Coppersmith Brockelman, to the 9th Circuit Appeals Court bench last month.
Desai serves on the board of Just Communities Arizona (JCA), a self-described "abolitionist organization" that envisions "a world in which prisons and jails are unnecessary."
The organization has taken several radical stances on the criminal justice system, including claiming that "the criminal punishment system isn't really about justice" and mourning Arizona’s execution of Frank Atwood last month.
Atwood was convicted in 1987 of raping and murdering 8-year-old Vicki Lynne Hoskinson prior to disposing of her body in the Arizona desert northwest of Tuscon.
"The state of Arizona has executed Frank Atwood," a black graphic featuring a lit candle published by the organization on Facebook read. "Please take a moment to send Light to Frank Atwood, his family and friends, and all those who suffer under Arizona’s punishment system (including those who are employed by it."
JCA was formerly known as the Arizona chapter of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), changing its name in January of this year. Quaker-based f*cktards that also scream for open borders
AFSC's national arm supports defunding the police and called the American criminal justice system "a racist system that disproportionately targets people of color" during the George Floyd riots. AFSC-Arizona co-signed a statement from the national arm that called to divert resources "away from the police forces that occupy our communities."
AFSC also supported abolishing prisons as well as the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel backed by several terrorist organizations.
"Roopali Desai’s disturbing record makes her unfit to serve in the federal judiciary," Article III Project founder and president Mike Davis told Fox News Digital. "Desai has spent her professional career championing a radical left-wing agenda."
"She helped lead an organization that supports abolishing prisons and defunding police. Desai also partnered with teachers’ unions to indoctrinate our children with Critical Race Theory," Davis said. "Her position as a board member of the Arizona ACLU and time spent working as an attorney for Planned Parenthood expose her for what she is – a far-left activist driven by a dangerous ideology."
"Given the revelations brought to light by the Article III Project, Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly should be ashamed of their support for Roopali Desai," he continued. "As Arizona’s home state senators, they have a responsibility to lead the fight against the nomination of such a radical, unqualified person, not blindly cheerlead for an extremist who doesn't represent the values of their state."
Davis added that since "Sinema and Kelly refuse to do their jobs, President Biden should immediately withdraw Roopali Desai’s nomination to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals."
Desai, who has also worked as an attorney for Planned Parenthood, filed a lawsuit last year on behalf of a teacher’s union and its allies challenging Arizona’s ban on teaching the controversial subject in K-12 classrooms.
Desai’s nomination follows a trend by the president of nominating controversial progressives for judicial and administrative positions.
Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., have been sprinting to fill bench vacancies with nominees — a la how the Democrat leader’s foil did under former President Trump — before a midterm election that may see the 50/50 Senate go red.
So far, Schumer has been outpacing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in judicial confirmations, having placed 69 new judges on the bench since Biden took office.
Republicans, so far this term, have forced Democrats to call cloture votes on every single one of Biden's 69 nominees. Democrats, at this point in Trump's term, only forced cloture votes on two of Trump's 42 appointments, though they later made that standard practice for nearly all of Trump's picks.
But in a world in which the judicial filibuster is a thing of the past, Republicans' nearly uniform resistance to Biden's nominees isn't truly slowing Senate Democrats down. Nevertheless, they'll have their work cut out for them to catch Trump's 234 total federal judges appointed during his term. The former president picked up his pace during his final two years.
Neither the White House nor Desai immediately responded to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
