A woman who reportedly had a mental breakdown climbed onto a high-voltage substation transformer on Thursday, which resulted in over 800 homes in Utah being without power. A video of the incident showed a woman in a red skirt scaling the transformer and later perching herself on one of the high-voltage bushings. When rescue crews arrived to get her down from the transformer, she started to dangle from one of the wires attached to the bushings.

A video taken at the scene shows the woman wearing a red skirt and sneakers perched on one of the high-voltage bushings at the top of a transformer, shouting obscenities at first responders. When the first responders climbed up to reach her, she started dangling from one of the wires stretched between the bushings, treating the deadly equipment like an American Gladiator obstacle course. A cherry picker was lifted to the wire where the woman was dangling, and she eventually managed to drop into it. A witness told ABC4 in Utah that the Salt Lake City Police Department resorted to using either a stun gun or a rubber bullet to get her off the wire. The woman was taken into custody and transported to a hospital to be treated for “a mental health episode,” according to the report. To ensure her safety, electric crews cut the power to the substation. More than 800 homes lost power for roughly two hours until the substation was reactivated. NEW: Over 800 homes in Utah have lost power after a woman experiencing a “mental health crisis” climbed a transformer. What’re the odds she voted for Kamala? pic.twitter.com/G9woWO0Xi3 — Jack (@jackunheard) November 14, 2024 Here’s what ABC 4 News reported: A woman is now receiving treatment after she damaged power equipment and climbed a substation transformer in Salt Lake City Wednesday morning during what police say was a mental health episode. The incident, which took place near Gladiola Street and Decade Drive, led to authorities cutting power to more than 800 homes to prevent the woman from being electrocuted. According to the Salt Lake City Police Department, the alleged trespasser was taken into custody and transported to the hospital. Ryan Kent, a witness to the incident, said he was driving in Salt Lake City when he noticed a couple of police cars at a power substation and pulled over to see what was happening. He said he saw a woman standing on top of the substation transformer “screaming obscenities” at the police as they tried to coax her to come down. He also noticed what looked like a smashed circuit box and a pipe nearby. That’s when four or five more police cars pulled up to the scene.

Democrats aren’t even pretending to play nice this time. Rep. Wiley Nickel casually suggested forming a “shadow government” to counter President Donald Trump’s incoming administration. All in the name of Democracy. Don’t they see the irony? Wiley dropped Adam Schiff’s name as a hypothetical AG. Turns out, the Establishment is now broadcasting their plans live from the House floor. I guess that makes it easier for President Trump and his team, as they know who to deal with. Dem Congressman Openly Reveals Plot to Form Shadow Government —Names Individuals Who Could Undermine Every Trump Cabinet Member [VIDEO] https://t.co/DjzfGEMs0u pic.twitter.com/p7u7fSZXS4 — The Gateway Pundit (@gatewaypundit) November 15, 2024 The Gateway Pundit reports: Democrats and Trump-haters in the DC Swamp went to great lengths to hide their efforts to destroy President Trump, his family, individuals associated with his campaign, his top administration officials, and eventually, his supporters from 2016 to October 2024. This time around, Democrats apparently aren’t going to hide their plans to thwart the President and his administration. A disturbing video, posted by Independent Journalist Kyle Becker, reveals US Representative Wiley Nickel (D-NC), who appears to be speaking on the House floor as he shares the names of potential shadow government replacements. Here are only a few of the Democrat Congressman’s suggestions for a shadow government that would be created to undermine President Trump and his agenda: If Trump attempts to weaponize the Department of Justice against his political opponents with Matt Gaetz at the helm, we could see incoming Senator Adam Schiff as our Attorney General. If Trump seeks to eliminate the Department of Education, Congresswoman Jahanna Hayes, a former teacher of the year, could step up as Shadow Education Secretary to loudly defend public education in the United States. If Trump orders Marco Rubio to hand Ukraine and much of Eastern Europe to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Congressman Greg Meeks as shadow Secretary of State, could be a strong voice in support of maintaining international relationships and protecting democracy at home and abroad. House Democrats are denying the results of the 2024 election. They are trying to form a “shadow government” to defy and undermine President Trump’s authority. The Democratic Party is trying to lead an unconstitutional “insurrection” against Trump.pic.twitter.com/80x71y77HG — Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) November 15, 2024 As part of the Democrat Party’s ongoing attempts to divide America, Democrat @RepWileyNickel proposes a Democrat-led “Shadow Government” to opposes every move of every member of Trump’s cabinet. pic.twitter.com/3CRHZH7TLJ — PattyMI (@PattyLovesTruth) November 15, 2024 This tweet brings up a good point: How is this not an insurrection? Democrats are now openly forming a shadow government right on the Congressional Floor. How is this not an insurrection? Rep. Wiley Nickel, D-North Carolina pitched a shadow cabinet as an “effective tool” for Democrats to publicly challenge the incoming administration. pic.twitter.com/cjsD5z7xSu — Tricia Flanagan (R-NJ) (@NewDayForNJ) November 15, 2024

Corrupt to the very bitter end? It looks like it. The Biden Regime has raided the home of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan and his phone and electronics have been seized. WLT Reported the following: Polymarket was widely followed leading up to the election and predicted the Trump win on Election Night. Now they’ve been raided by Biden’s DOJ: FBI seizes Polymarket CEO’s phone, electronics after betting platform predicts Trump win: source https://t.co/c0fkO9F1Oa pic.twitter.com/Kh2o3ejH5l — New York Post (@nypost) November 13, 2024 Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded by saying “What the fuck is wrong with this administration?” https://x.com/brian_armstrong/status/1856815835496792074 When even your Far-Left Silicon Valley tech bros are saying this Regime is out of line, that’s really something! Elon responded as well: This seems messed up — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 13, 2024 And from Cerno: Told you. And FYI, I had zero to do with Polymarket. Feds are going through EVERYTHING, illegally, to see what they can find, or frame people for. https://t.co/wF5n2LNdV3 pic.twitter.com/TWFaeiixlH — Cernovich (@Cernovich) November 13, 2024 So of course the Biden Regime knows they can’t prosecute anything here by January 20th, so that’s not the goal. The goal is to get as much information as possible before they’re out of power. VERY SCARY! Weaponizing the DOJ against American citizens! Here is Coplan recently on CNBC: “On Polymarket it looked like a done deal, and if you were just watching TV, you would think it’s neck and neck,” says Polymarket CEO Shayne Caplan on the platform’s early call for Trump on Election Day. Watch more: https://t.co/NRCZmFqill pic.twitter.com/qOU9M9Qb2s — CNBC (@CNBC) November 7, 2024 The New York Post reports the following details: FBI agents raided the Manhattan apartment of Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan early Wednesday morning — just a week after the election-betting platform successfully predicted Donald Trump’s stunning victory, The Post has learned. The 26-year-old entrepreneur was roused from bed in his Soho pad at 6 a.m. by US law enforcement who demanded he turn over his phone and other electronic devices, a source close to the matter told The Post. It’s “grand political theater at its worst,” the source told The Post. “They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons.” Coplan was not provided with a reason for the raid, but the source suspects it was political retribution since Polymarket accurately predicted an easy Trump triumph over Vice President Kamala Harris – as opposed to traditional polls. The source also speculated that the government is likely piggybacking off liberal media reports that accuse Polymarket of market manipulation and rigging its polls in favor of Trump. “This is obvious political retribution by the outgoing administration against Polymarket for providing a market that correctly called the 2024 presidential election,” the source said. Coplan was not arrested and has not been charged, a Polymarket spokesperson told The Post on Wednesday evening. “Polymarket is a fully transparent prediction market that helps everyday people better understand the events that matter most to them, including elections,” the rep said. “We charge no fees, take no trading positions, and allow observers from around the world to analyze all market data as a public good.” The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Coplan posted on X after his run-in with the feds: “New phone, who dis?” Polymarket does not allow trading in the US, though bettors can bypass the ban by accessing the site through VPN. The FBI’s investigation comes a week after Coplan said Polymarket is planning to return to the US. The platform – which showed Trump with a 58.6% chance of winning the morning before Election Day and Vice President Kamala Harris’ odds at 41.4% – has also been linked to Trump and his allies. Billionaire Trump supporter Peter Thiel raised about $70 million in funding for Polymarket, according to a Forbes report earlier this year. In 2022, the online gambling platform was forced to pause its trading in the US and pay a $1.4 million penalty to settle charges with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that it had failed to register with the agency. Since then, the platform has only been available for bettors in other countries. After the election, a mystery French trader raked in a whopping $85 million in profits on Trump bets — more than $50 million more than previously reported, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. One week before the election, a Fortune report said analysts at two crypto research firms found widespread evidence of wash-trading on Polymarket – an illegal form of market manipulation in which a trader buys and sells the same entity to create a false impression of market activity. “Polymarket’s Terms of Use expressly prohibit market manipulation,” a Polymarket spokesperson told Fortune in a statement. We covered Polymarket on the lead up to the election and on Election Night. It appears the Biden/Harris Regime did not like this outcome: CLEAN SWEEP: We Won It ALL — President, House, Senate, Popular Vote!

President-elect Donald Trump announced Friday that his longtime communications savant Steven Cheung will return to the White House with him as the director of communications.
