Are Nancy Pelosi's days numbered?
Nancy Pelosi sat on a wall; Nancy Pelosi had a great fall; All the king's horses and all the king's men; Couldn't put Nancy together again.
As I’m sure you have all likely heard by now, Nancy Pelosi took a tumble down a flight of marble stairs, and broke a hip. Subsequently, she had to have a hip replacement.
Before I begin my commentary, here are some details from the NY Post:
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) underwent hip replacement surgery Saturday after falling during a congressional delegation trip to Luxembourg.
“Earlier this morning, Speaker Emerita Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement and is well on the mend,” said the congresswoman’s spokesman, Ian Krager.
Pelosi, 84, was admitted to a hospital for evaluation Friday after she tripped and fell while descending marble stairs at the Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg City, according to reports.
The San Francisco Democrat had been traveling overseas with a bipartisan group of lawmakers to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in the Western European nation during World War II.
The incident came just hours after it was revealed that Pelosi, who is currently serving her 19th term in Congress, had been orchestrating a behind-the-scenes ploy to undermine a bid by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to serve as the top Dem on the House Oversight Committee.
Okay, there are a number of things to talk about here:
Don’t mix an 84-year-old woman, booze and a marble staircase.
Pelosi, who should have retired years ago, is still adept at pissing away taxpayer money on foreign trips that serve no real purpose whatsoever.
Ever the schemer, Pelosi has been very busy trying to screw over AOC.
Let’s face it, my friends, Pelosi is a boozer. Everybody knows that Nancy loves her sippie-sips, and I don’t doubt for a second that she had had a few when she tried to go down that marble staircase. Well, it appears that the booze helped her descend the staircase at a much faster rate than anybody expected. But the real question is: How much did she drink before she went ass-over-tea-kettle down the stairs? 🤔
The fact that she was on yet another foreign junket, to Luxembourg of all places, just goes to show that even old age hasn’t dented her ability to piss away taxpayer money. In terms of wasteful government spending, Nancy Pelosi is the Energizer Bunny of congressional money whores. She just spends and spends and spends, and who cares, right? The Fed will just print more money, and then she can spend that too.
I find the part about AOC to be both amusing and pathetic. Nancy is 84 years old, and is busy trying to screw over AOC and block her ascension to that committee. Old Nancy just can’t face the fact that her time is over, and AOC’s time to feed at the congressional pig trough has just begun. I’m no fan of AOC; she is the Ivanka Trump of the Democratic Party: A pretty airhead who couldn’t think her way out of a paper bag. But if the dipshits on the committee want AOC on it, then let her do it. Pelosi is a fossil, left over from 50 years ago, and needs to get out of AOC’s way.
Now for the most interesting part of all of this. Are all of you aware that a certain percentage of elderly people like Pelosi who break a hip and have to get a hip replacement die with in a year of it happening?
Here is what I got after asking ChatGPT:
In the United States, hip fractures are a significant health concern for individuals aged 80 and older, and they contribute to increased mortality rates in this age group. Here's a focused overview:
Key Statistics:
Hip Fracture Hospitalizations: Each year, approximately 300,000 older adults are hospitalized for hip fractures in the U.S., with the majority of these patients being over 80 years old.
One-Year Mortality Rate: The one-year mortality rate for older adults who experience a hip fracture is estimated at 20–30%, depending on factors like overall health, preexisting conditions, and the quality of post-surgical care.
Deaths Attributable to Hip Fractures:
Based on the hospitalization numbers and mortality rates, 60,000 to 90,000 deaths annually in the U.S. can be associated with complications following hip fractures in elderly individuals, particularly those aged 80 and above.
Why Hip Fractures Lead to Death:
Surgical and Recovery Complications: Surgery to repair a fractured hip can lead to risks such as infections, blood clots, or cardiac issues.
Preexisting Conditions: Many elderly individuals already suffer from chronic illnesses, such as heart disease or diabetes, which can worsen outcomes.
Post-Fracture Decline: Immobility following a hip fracture often results in conditions like pneumonia, muscle atrophy, and loss of independence, further increasing the risk of death.
These numbers reflect the serious health impacts of hip fractures in this vulnerable age group, emphasizing the importance of prevention, timely medical intervention, and effective rehabilitation to reduce mortality rates.
So the real question here is, will Nancy’s tumble down the marble stairs prove to be her Waterloo? Are we going to see news stories suddenly appear at some point over the next year that Nancy has finally gone to see Lucifer? He has been waiting for her, and she has much to answer for, given her behavior over many years. Don’t be too shocked if Nancy’s days are numbered.
Just to be a bit more sure, I hit ChatGPT up again with more specifics about our beloved Nancy, and this is what it gave me:
When an 84-year-old woman falls down a marble staircase, breaks her hip, and requires hip replacement surgery, several factors influence her recovery and survival odds. Here’s a detailed look at what typically happens in such cases:
Key Medical Considerations
Severity of Injury:
A fall on a hard surface like marble often causes a displaced femoral neck fracture or a severe intertrochanteric fracture, which are common in elderly women.
Additional injuries, such as bruising, head trauma, or fractures to other bones, might complicate her case.
Immediate Risks:
Shock or blood loss: The fracture and any associated internal injuries may lead to blood loss and low blood pressure.
Hospitalization: She would need to be stabilized and evaluated for surgery, typically within 24–48 hours to minimize complications.
Hip Replacement Surgery:
Surgery is generally required for such fractures in elderly patients, with options like a partial or total hip replacement.
Risks during surgery include adverse reactions to anesthesia, blood clots, or cardiovascular complications, which are more common at her age.
Recovery and Complications
Post-Surgery Recovery:
Rehabilitation begins soon after surgery to prevent blood clots, maintain mobility, and regain strength.
Elderly patients often face difficulties with pain management, limited mobility, and preexisting frailty.
Risk of Complications:
Infections: Surgical site infections or urinary tract infections are common.
Pneumonia: Immobility can increase the risk of respiratory issues.
Blood Clots: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism is a major concern.
Delirium or Cognitive Decline: Anesthesia and hospitalization can trigger acute confusion in some elderly patients.
One-Year Mortality Rate:
The one-year mortality rate for an 84-year-old undergoing hip replacement surgery after a traumatic fracture is around 25–30%, with the highest risk during the first 3–6 months.
If she has preexisting health conditions like osteoporosis, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease, the risk increases.
Long-Term Outcomes
Rehabilitation:
Intense physical therapy is critical to regain mobility, but older adults may not recover fully, often needing assistance with daily activities.
A significant portion of elderly patients never regain their pre-fall level of independence.
Life Expectancy:
While some recover well and live several more years, others experience a steady health decline triggered by the fall and surgery.
Psychosocial Impact:
Fear of falling again may lead to reduced confidence and physical activity, which can contribute to further health deterioration.
Summary
In this scenario, the fall and resulting hip replacement surgery place the 84-year-old woman in a high-risk category for both immediate complications and long-term mortality. However, with timely surgery, excellent post-operative care, and rehabilitation, many patients can still regain a reasonable quality of life, though complete independence may be unlikely.
Now, is it just me, or does all of this strike you as karma coming back on Old Nancy? Remember how she impeached Trump twice on bullshit charges? Remember how she ripped up his speech on national TV? Remember how she was involved in the J6 situation at the capital building? Remember all of the other bullshit she has pulled over the last eight years?
It seems to me that Nancy is reaping the karma she has sown. And, based on the ChatGPT information, it looks like the fun might only just be beginning for her. She has so much more to look forward to in terms of potential complications from the fall and the surgery. And, lurking in the background if she succumbs to the injury and surgery, is Lucifer, patiently waiting for her in Hell.
So here we are in December 2024. Donald Trump has been elected to the presidency again, and is busy preparing his new administration. His arch-nemesis Nancy Pelosi is 84 years old and in the hospital, trying to recover from serious surgery after a hard fall down a flight of marble stairs.
Well, all’s well that ends well, right? 😂
Somewhere, AOC is smiling and laughing quietly to herself.

UPDATE: I forgot to put the poll in until after I published the article. Scroll back up if you came in via the email and missed poll. It's up there now. 👍🏻
It's just another example of hubris. She and McConnell should've left years ago. These people refuse to accept their impending doom. In the private sector, I see 75 year olds clinging onto their positions, even though everyone around them knows that it's time to retire. Maybe they'll start wheeling her around like Feinstien, personally I believed she was dead months before her last vote.
