In the picture posted on page 2 I see Susan Collins and Bill Nelson in close proximity. Too bad they weren’t in front of her so she could have taken them down too. Coulda had a “threefer”.

I was thinking that too. It’s been a long time since I was in emergency care and if my memory is correct the survival rate after twelve months was at about twenty five percent.

There are wonderful parables from medieval Persia featuring a character named "Nasruddin." Stay with this until the end, and you will see its relevance to Pelosi:

Nasruddin lived in a village where everyone was strictly vegetarian. A man in the village, however, really wanted to eat some chicken. But he didn't want to kill it himself. So he hired Nasruddin, telling him "take the chicken where no one sees and kill it."

So Nasruddin heads out with the chicken under his arm and disappears behind a big rock. The man thinks "Good. Now he is killing the chicken."

But after a couple of minutes, Nasaruddin appears again with the live chicken under his arm, and disappears behind a big tree. The man thinks "Okaaay...."

But Nasruddin appears again with the live chicken in under his arm, and starts to head toward a bush. But the man has had enough. He calls Nasruddin in.

"I told you take the chicken where no one sees and kill it."

Nasruddin says, "Yes, but wherever I go, the chicken sees."

All these corrupt and evil people in Washington hide their misdeeds behind a big rock. But even if nobody finds them out, the chicken, their conscience, sees.

That is why so many of them, like Pelosi, are alcoholic. Or, like Mitch McConnell, addicted to drugs. The chicken's look is unbearable.

Pelosi is now irrelevant in any case.

Interesting video from Michael Franzese, former Mafia capo who spent time in prison.



And a little tidbit; a number of delegates at the Democratic National Convention were wearing these buttons.

You sir, have an excellent way with words!

One of my very good friends fell and broke his hip at 88 y/o. They replaced the hip and he spent 3 months in the hospital and 2 more months in re-hab, and died there.

Leftists (in particular) like to prate about how much better health care systems are virtually anywhere else but in the US. I wonder if she will be advised by Michael Moore or someone of his ilk to be transferred to someplace like Cuba or Russia rather than back here for treatment—and if she will accept it.

She was sent via helicopter by the State Deprtment to Landstuhl Medical Center in Germany. The surgery has already been completed.

Ho lee chit!
Not only a US medical facility, but a military one at that!
Now the GDCs will have double reason to say, “See: I told you so,” if she doesn’t recover.

Source?

"The operation was conducted at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base in Germany, her office said. The Defense Department provided medevac support to transport Pelosi there from Luxembourg."

Pity she didn’t break her upper arm, too.

That would be humerus.

She may be able to hop a military medevac flight back to USA after a bit of time. Thinking back in time, I knew some great USN Nurse Corps officers that could have kept a tight leash on her if she were on their ward.

Or Canada. A friend's mother in her late 70s broke her hip on a trip to the Gaspe Peninsula (Quebec). She was brought to a small hospital in Rimouski (base of the peninsula). Her daughter in Montreal sprang into action. The soonest she could set up the almost 6 hour ambulance transport back to Montreal was 3 days - 3 days her Mom lay there on pain meds. They had private insurance - thank goodness - so her surgery was quickly accomplished when she got back. She did recover and lived a number of years after that. Without the private insurance, who knows?

I am certain the very minute she's medically cleared to fly the AF will schedule a medevac flight. Will the commoners (military and dependents) allowed to fly with her? Maybe.

I bet they flew a private doctor over to Landstuhl to do the OP. Princess Nancy is to fine to let a military doctor touch her.

Hopefully it would be a C-130 making stops in the UK and Greenland along the way, and the in-flight meals involve picking a bag out of the case of MREs.
