[Breitbart] Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, had slurred speech, red and watery eyes, and a drug in his system at the time of his arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol, according to new court documents.
Pelosi was involved in a car crash on May 28 around 10:00 p.m., just five miles away from the Pelosi’s River Run vineyard. Pelosi was arrested and charged with a DUI shortly after the crash.
As Breitbart News reported:
Pelosi was driving eastbound down Walnut Drive when he attempted to cross State Route-29, and his 2021 Porsche was “struck by” a Jeep traveling northbound just before 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, CHP said in a statement.
Photos of the junction reportedly show Pelosi would have had to have driven through a stop sign to get on SR-29. Video of the crash site reportedly shows “a busted out fence and downed sign.”
Investigators determined that Pelosi’s blood alcohol level was .082%, just above California’s limit. When was he tested? Likely hours after.
Pelosi’s 2021 Porsche had “major collusion damage” after crashing into the victim’s 2014 Jeep.
According to the two-count misdemeanor complaint, Pelosi displayed “signs of impairment” when officers conducted field sobriety tests. The officers also “observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication,” according to court documents.
“His eyes appears red/watery, he was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath,” the complaint read.
Further, Pelosi allegedly injured the Jeep driver “while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and a drug and under their combined influence.”
Although the victim opted not to receive medical treatment on the scene, he told investigators he was suffering “pain to his upper right arm, right shoulder and neck,” just days after the crash. The victim also experienced headaches and had trouble lifting objects, the document said.
The multimillionaire Pelosi allegedly provided officers with his driver’s license and an “11-99 Foundation” card when they asked him for identification, Fox News reported. The 11-99 Foundation provides “emergency benefits and assistance to CHP employees and their families and scholarships to their children,” according to its website.
Pelosi will not attend his arraignment that is scheduled to happen on Wednesday. Instead, he will likely be represented by his attorney.

Interestingly the Judge was replaced yesterday by a young Democrat who has never presided over a criminal case. The fix has been in since the beginning.

How do they figure he had another drug in his system if there was no toxicology report (which is awfully convenient)? In my experience, alcohol can cause a great deal of impairment all by itself.
One more question: If we discovered that Mr. Pelosi is addicted to fentanyl and I was unable to stifle a bitter little chuckle, would that make me a bad person?

The guy's over eighty. At some point you kind of need to be on something!
[Townhall] Over the weekend, Houston's Democrat Mayor Sylvester Turner held a gun buyback event in a church parking lot where residents could turn in their firearms and receive a gift card ranging from $50 to $200 with no questions asked.
According to the Mayor's announcement, the funds provided to those turning in firearms came from the American Rescue Plan — aka American taxpayers — and the amount-per-firearm was $50.00 for a non-functioning firearm, $100.00 for a rifle or shotgun, $150.00 for a handgun, and $200.00 for a fully automatic rifle.
Heralded as a success by the mayor and hyped up by the liberal Houston Chronicle, the event on Saturday saw 845 guns bought back and some $100,000 in gift card payments given. But the alleged success isn't exactly what it seems.
The FAQ section for the buyback noted that there's no limit on the number of firearms that could be turned in by an individual, nor was there any restriction on the types of handguns, as long as they're functioning. Enter some creative and apparently entrepreneurial individuals who saw an opening and decided to make some extra cash.
Photos and videos from the event show authorities unloading boxes of... fresh 3D-printed firearms.
One man showed up to the buyback with dozens of 3D-printed firearms, and Houston authorities had no choice but to accept them and hand over gift cards in return. The real kicker: it only cost the man $3 to print each firearm, of which he made 62, and received $50 per 3D-printed gun for a total of nearly $3,000 in gift cards.
FOX 26 caught up with the man, who remained anonymous, and asked him why he 3D-printed a bunch of firearms to sell back to Houston authorities. "The goal was not personal profit, but to send [Houston leaders] a message about spending $1 million tax dollars on something that has no evidence of any effect on crime," he said.
Still, Houston's mayor thinks his buyback program will convince criminals and gang members to hand over their firearms for as little as $50.
I wonder how many "fully automatic rifles" were bought.

In several Metro-Cities in GA. the Gun buybacks had Sheriff Departments, after checking the weapon form previous shootings, auctioning off the purchase firearms to FFL dealers in other areas.
PLUS Private individuals standing on nearby street corners with signs offering as much as $50 more depending on the weapon and condition.

My former father-in-law was a deputy in Jefferson County, Alabama. They had a buy-back program and the instances of stolen guns skyrocketed. Criminals were breaking into homes and stealing weapons and selling them in the buy back.

Reminds me of an old Dilbert where the coders were gonna get a gift certificate for each bug they found and they left the meeting planning to write some bugs into the code.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but nevertheless a tool, Mayor Sylvester Turner managed to create a demand for lame-ass 3D-printed 'firearms' and an enterprising entrepreneur filled it. The amusing part is that making money was not the guy's point.
