This page contains material about the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, her
goals and her agenda, and the news and opinion you may have missed if you get all your information
from television.
Her main goal, presumably, is the advancement of the
Democratic Party Platform, which has a page
of its own.
Recently, Ms. Pelosi seems to have come to a fork in the road: She is a Catholic, but she
also is a proponent of abortion, also known as fetal homicide. This subtopic is now discussed in a
subsection of its own, located here.
Another big subtopic that comes and goes from the headlines is Ms. Pelosi's taste for luxurious air travel
at the taxpayers' expense. That topic is discussed here.
Archbishop
Broglio reportedly declines Nancy Pelosi request for Holy Communion. It has been
reported that Nancy Pelosi was refused Holy Communion at the U.S. Capitol yesterday.
Archbishop Timothy Broglio reportedly refused Pelosi, a self-described Catholic who advocates for
abortion, the Sacrament after a Mass he celebrated in the Capitol on December 12 in honor of
Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron saint of the Americas. According to Catholic News Agency
(CNA), one of Pelosi's staffers "approached Broglio to inform the archbishop that Pelosi was coming
to 'say hello' and that she had also wished to 'receive Communion.'" However, as CNA reported,
"Broglio agreed to meet with Pelosi but did not give her Communion."
The Editor says...
If it's so important to Nancy Pelosi to be right with God, maybe she should spill the beans about her insider trading,
stop accusing Trump of being Hitler Lite, and admit the truth about what happens during an abortion.
Reports:
Pelosi's Injuries in Luxembourg Are Quite Serious. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is
recovering at a hospital in Luxembourg. When it was first reported, the California liberal
was reported to have suffered an undisclosed injury while on a congressional delegation.
Katie wrote about the incident, adding that the injuries were severe enough that Pelosi would miss
the rest of the trip's events: [...]
84-Year-Old
Pelosi Breaks Hip After Nasty Fall Down the Stairs in Luxembourg. Former Speaker of
the House Nancy Pelosi has suffered a significant injury that could have detrimental consequences
after her nasty fall from the stairs earlier today. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier,
Pelosi is in the hospital after falling downstairs while traveling in Luxembourg as a part of a
bipartisan Congressional delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
According to her spokesperson, Ian Krager, Pelosi is receiving treatment from medical professionals
in the tiny European country. He claims she can still work but will be unable to attend the
remaining engagements. [...] The DailyMail.com reported she fell down some stairs during the visit
but that her injuries were not serious. Unfortunately, we now know this report is false.
Nancy
Pelosi trying to 'tank' AOC's House Oversight Committee bid: report. Former House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly launched a behind-the-scenes effort to thwart
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's bid to serve as the top Democrat on the House Oversight
Committee. Pelosi (D-Calif.), 84, would rather see Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) serve as
ranking member on the high-profile panel and is "actively working to tank" AOC's bid, according to
Punchbowl News. The former House speaker has been "making calls" urging Democrats to support
Connolly, 74, over Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 35, the outlet reported Thursday.
Pro-Abortion
'Devout Catholic' Nancy Pelosi Flaunts Disobedience To Her Archbishop. Former Speaker
of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) flaunted her disobedience to her bishop in an interview on her
Catholicism, saying that she always feels "there's an angel" on her shoulder despite her vehement
support for abortion. Pelosi spoke about her views on Catholicism and Pope Francis with the
National Catholic Reporter, a left-leaning Catholic news source, in an interview published Tuesday
[12/10/2024]. The California Democrat has defended abortions of unborn babies for many years,
though the Catholic Church teaches that abortion is "a crime against human life," "constitutes a
grave offense," and that a person who obtains an abortion is automatically excommunicated from the
Catholic Church. Pelosi has previously described herself as a "devout Catholic" in spite of
her pro-abortion stances, drawing heavy criticism from Catholics who adhere to the teaching of the church.
Nancy
Pelosi says Vatican considering appeal of her Communion ban by Archbishop Cordileone.
Democratic congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said she has appealed to Rome for a decision concerning San
Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone's ban on her receiving the Holy Eucharist due to her
public support for abortion. "My understanding, as long as Rome has the case, it hasn't been
resolved," Pelosi, the former speaker of the House, told National Catholic Reporter in
comments published this morning. She recently told the heretical outlet that she continues to
receive the Holy Eucharist despite Archbishop Cordileone's announcement in May 2022 that she
was to refrain from receiving Communion in the archdiocese.
An
epidemic of lies. [Scroll down] Lies are fabricated, told to the press
who spread them everywhere, people form their opinions and the liars reap the benefits.
Whether the plan works as intended or not is irrelevant. Affecting public opinion and having
the adversary waste money and time to defend himself is enough. Nancy Pelosi calls this "The
Wrap-Up Smear." In this video Nancy Pelosi was accusing Republicans of engaging in this tactic, yet
it sounds exactly like what triggered the Russian Collusion episode endured by Pres. Trump
and the TSA restriction Ms. Gabbard is currently undergoing. I'm surprised that Pelosi
actually said those things out loud. Of course, she has demonstrated similar tone-deafness in
the past. For example, that episode in front of her commercial-sized freezers where she
extolled the pleasures of luxury ice creams to viewers who were suffering through COVID lockdowns,
school and business closures, and financial hardships.
Nancy
Pelosi is finished — no one deserves more blame for Dems' $1B electoral
collapse. It's high time to shatter the myth of Nancy Pelosi as a master
strategist. Nobody deserves more blame than the ridiculously self-titled "speaker emerita"
for the Democrats' $1 billion electoral collapse. Under her ruthless leadership, her
party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can't say that
enough. Voters rejected the Dems from coast to coast, even in Pelosi's deepest-blue home city
of San Francisco, which saw a 7-point swing to Donald Trump. She's the only speaker in
history to have lost control of the House twice. She's finished.
Pelosi's
Latest Big Lie Is Too Much Even for the Washington Post. In the midst of an election
post-mortem, Pelosi said: "I don't think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under
President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump." Yeah, maybe you and your cadres weren't
clear enough in making that point because it is wildly, howlingly, blazingly, outlandishly false.
Deconstructing
the Mythology of January 6. The only elected political figure to call for
violence on January 6, 2021 was Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. On that day she said:
"I hope he comes, I want to punch him out. This is my moment. I've been waiting for
this. For trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I want to punch him out, and I'm going to
go to jail, and I'm going to be happy." Trump never came to the Capitol grounds but Pelosi
broadcast her violent appeals for brutalizing the President of the United States to television
cameras that day. Her brutish rhetoric fit well with her antagonism of tearing up a copy of
the President's State of the Union Message a year before — again before congressional
members and on live television. Pelosi's calls for violence have not been criticized by our
public intellectual culture and in 2022 she reiterated that she continues to seek for violence
against the President of the United States. The Speaker of the House said that the President
of the United States did not have [the courage] to face her directly on January 6, 2021.
Pelosi appealed to a notion of toxic masculinity by casting herself as an ideal alpha male willing
to punch out the immoral intruder. [...] Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was not held to account
for her calls for violence on January 6 and in fact instigated one of the most important
epistemological tomes on the matter — the January 6 House Select Committee.
In defiance of House rules, Pelosi refused to allow congressional members appointed from the
Republican leadership.
Pelosi
attacker gets life without parole. Yeah, that's equal justice. Another sentence
for Paul Pelosi's hammer attacker raised concerns about unequal justice as a judge made clear his
intention, "Mr. DePape will never get out of prison...." Monday marked two years since
David DePape was arrested after police arrived at the San Francisco home of then-House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) just before her husband suffered a skull fracture from the since-convicted
burglar. [...] Reactions on social media were quick to call out the regularity with which violent
criminals, including rapists, murderers, and even baby killers were released back into the
community in the City by the Bay, reinforcing the notion of a two-tiered system of justice that put
the likes of the Pelosis in a different category. [...] Meanwhile, as had been pointed out after
DePape's federal sentencing, when Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) had been attacked by a neighbor,
leaving him in need of lung and hernia surgeries while suffering from broken ribs, the attacker's
initial 30-day sentence from a federal judge had been extended to a mere eight months of
incarceration and six months of home detention.
When
corruption becomes standard operating procedure. Nancy Pelosi is telling us that
Harris "won" the nomination, even though it is universally known that the president was kicked to
the curb after receiving about 14 million primary votes, whereas Kamala Harris received
zero. Yet here we are with a candidate for the highest office in the land, who jettisoned her
boss in what could be called a coup d'état and took his place on the ballot. All of
this was done with the full compliance of the ruling class of demagogues. Then, to add
further contempt for the public's intelligence, and more distortion of reality, the radical Dems
are proclaiming that Trump will destroy democracy. Our country has never seen anything quite
like this cartel of corruption!
Nancy
Pelosi's Husband Dumps Over $500K in Visa Stock Weeks Before DOJ's Antitrust Lawsuit.
Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, dumped over $500,000 worth of Visa stock just weeks before the
Department of Justice slapped the financial giant with an antitrust lawsuit, according to the New
York Post. The timing couldn't be more suspect. Visa, one of the most dominant players
in the debit card market, is now facing charges of monopolizing the industry. The DOJ's
antitrust unit claims Visa has abused its market power, forcing financial tech companies to work
with them while penalizing those who try to go with competitors.
What
an Amazing Coincidence! Paul Pelosi Unloads $500k in Visa Stock Prior to Antitrust
Lawsuit. In what we can all be sure is just an amazing, one-in-a-million coincidence,
Paul Pelosi — yes, Nancy Pelosi's husband — sold half a million dollars worth
of Visa stock just before the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against Visa. [...]
How did Paul Pelosi know when to bail? Because it sure as shootin' looks like he was tipped
off. Paul Pelosi may be a shady character in any number of ways, but he's no dummy; some
forewarning on a suit like this would certainly indicate to him that it's time to dump his Visa
stock. And dump it he did.
Nancy
Pelosi Accused of 'Straight Up Lying' When Confronted About How Kamala Actually Came to
Power. To wit, Pelosi spoke to Semafor on Wednesday, according to The National
Desk. As part of a bigger interview, Pelosi was eventually asked a relevant question:
What happened to Pelosi's prior calls for an open primary after incumbent President Joe Biden
stepped down from seeking re-election? As she was reminded of at the Semafor forum, Pelosi
had previously advocated for having an actual primary contest post-Biden. Instead, Vice
President Kamala Harris was basically just slotted into the top spot of the Democratic presidential
ticket. When pressed on that fact, Pelosi didn't offer much of an explanation. "You had
reportedly said you wanted a sort of an 'open primary' if Joe Biden stepped down," the interviewer
began. "Did you change your mind because you saw all the excitement around Kamala Harris?"
"No, I didn't change my mind," Pelosi said. "We had an open primary, and she won it.
Nobody else got in the race." Pelosi continued: "Because she was politically astute and ..."
At this point, the California representative trailed off as a receptive audience clapped for her. [...]
Conservative commentator Drew Hernandez blasted the whole thing. "Nancy Pelosi is just straight up
lying now claiming Democrats had an open primary after Joe Biden was pressured to step out of the race,"
Hernandez posted to X. "She's claiming Kamala Harris won the open primary. "Not one
person voted for Kamala Harris to be the 2024 nominee."
These
are the Dems who deserve an Oscar for the fake, all-an-act convention. Best
Actress — Nancy Pelosi. There really was no competition in this category.
Nancy Pelosi gave the performance of a lifetime, reading every one of her lines without
cracking. We will not soon forget the way in which she said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
had "established one of the most successful presidencies of modern times." And then put such
emotion into her voice while talking about infrastructure on rural broadband! But the
standout moment was her tribute to Biden. Only a few weeks ago, Pelosi went to see him and
brutally ended his career, reportedly telling him he must either stop his run or get pushed out
"the hard way." This week was always going to be a mountain for Nancy to climb. But she
managed it. Her performance was second to none as she paid tribute to the man whose career
she so recently ended. She emoted. She praised. She licked her lips. And
during Biden's own performance, she could be seen enthusiastically waving a "We love Joe"
sign. It takes an actor of once-in-a-generation skill to do what Nancy did.
The
curious case of Nancy Pelosi. [Scroll down] Recently, former House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi came to the conclusion that President Joe Biden could not win reelection, and would
likely cause Democrats to lose control of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.
As a result, she wanted him to drop out of the race and allow a different Democrat to appear on the
November ballot. Biden disagreed, clinging to the belief that he was still electorally
viable. Private conversations took place, pressure was applied, and ultimately Biden gave
Pelosi what she wanted and called it quits. In other words, Pelosi got her yes. Which
is why it's so bizarre that she continues to go out and shiv him in public every time she has a
chance. Nancy's done everything to publicly humiliate Joe Biden except cut up his steak for
him at mealtime.
Nancy
Pelosi Is One Nasty Woman. Love her or hate her, there is one thing about Nancy
Pelosi: she gets stuff done. Most of it is atrocious on policy, but when it comes to the
inner workings of the Democratic Party, she can be a savior or the grim reaper. For Joe
Biden, she was the harbinger of death to his presidency. Other horsemen led the Biden White
House to its apocalypse, but it seems like Pelosi was the one who fired the kill shot. The
woman is lethal, which has been known to the people covering her. It's fallen by the wayside,
but she kneecapped the Squad shortly after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was elected, ensuring they're
visible and vocal but never a threat. That's the Hill. On this game hunt, she took down
a presidency when it became clear that a) Biden was going to decimate Democrats down ballot, and b)
Joe was trying to run out the clock. [Tweet] The president tried the bunker protocol he had
used in the 2020 election, hiding until Pelosi dropped some grenades into it.
Democrats
Broke the Law by Pushing Joe Biden Out of the Race. On Monday night, Joe Biden will
stumble his way through a farewell speech in bidding goodbye to politics after more than
50 years in public office. Biden undoubtedly plans to offer the same
schtick — a caption-necessary combination of self-pity and self-righteousness punctuated
by expressions of rage and his signature creepy whisper — as he soaks in his final
moments of glory in front of thousands of Democrats assembled at the United Center on the west side
of Chicago. But this is not what Biden wanted. Far from it. His address will be
less curtain call and more live hostage video performed under duress by a man taken captive by his
own party elites including longtime friends and allies who have essentially chained the
ex-presidential candidate to his Delaware beach house to keep him from doing any more political
damage. Biden may speak the jumbo-sized words plastered on the teleprompter but all the while
he'll hear in the back of his head the voice of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: The easy
way or the hard way.
Nancy
Pelosi Could Be In BIG Legal Trouble. At a Baltimore library event on Thursday,
former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's endorsement of Democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Harris
might have landed her in hot water. Republican Maryland Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) has
claimed that Pelosi could be in violation of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule that bars
nonprofits from participating in political activities, according to a letter he penned on Monday
which was scooped up exclusively by the Daily Caller. Pelosi, hailing from Baltimore,
returned to her roots with a visit to the Central Enoch Pratt Free Library on Thursday
evening. Initially billed as part of a book tour, the event quickly took on the air of a
campaign rally as Pelosi threw her support behind Vice President Harris, the Democratic nominee for
president. "I didn't know we could talk politics," Pelosi remarked to a packed audience before
scanning the room and adding, "I think we're talking civics here right now, right?" she said
according to The Baltimore Sun. Pelosi's comments were in reference to an IRS rule that
prevents nonprofit entities like the Pratt Library from engaging in campaign activities for
political candidates.
Analysis:
Shadows and Appearances and Lions and Foxes. In the last month we Americans have seen
some remarkable changes in the shadows on the wall. Remember that doddering shadow we called
Slow Joe? Gone, all of a sudden, to be replaced by another shadow, a prancing illumination
that the far-Right call Kackling Kamala. And who was directing the shadows and throwing the
sticks on the fire? Was it Nancy Pelosi, revered descendant of the imperial D'Alesandro
dynasty? Good question. [...] The question is: who is the stage manager back there?
Is it Nancy Pelosi? Chuck Schumer? Barack Obama? The Intelligence Community?
All of the above, or none of the above? Don't forget to "pay no attention to the man behind
the curtain." If you know what's good for you.
Nancy
Pelosi Finally Admits Her Role in the Biden Coup. Earlier this week, Nancy Pelosi
denied playing any part in the coup against Joe Biden. "No, I wasn't a leader of any pressure
party," she told CBS News' Lesley Stahl. "Well, let me say things that I didn't do. I didn't
call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, 'I never called
anybody.' What I'm saying is, I had confidence that the president would make the proper choice for
our country, whatever that would be, and I said that. 'Whatever that is, we'll go with.'"
She even went so far as to claim that she never saw any cognitive decline in Joe Biden and that he
deserves to be on Mount Rushmore. However, in a more recent interview with The New Yorker,
she basically said the opposite.
Trump
Just Said Out Loud What Everybody in Washington Is Afraid To. Biden had insisted for
months that he would run for a second term, and his party accommodated him, too, shutting off
debate and effectively rigging the primary process. [...] Despite Biden's assurances, something
mysterious happened one Saturday night in July. Reports are that Rep. Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) quite personally but probably only virtually twisted Biden's arm until he cried "Uncle!"
and then Biden quit the race by tweet the next day. Senior Democrats — Barack
Obama's name is also mentioned in these reports — forced their nominee and a sitting
president (!!!) off their ticket because they had decided he was a loser. Harris was anointed
his successor to avoid party chaos and, needless to say, any of that messy democracy stuff.
You know, the democracy they're saving from Trump. Everybody knows these facts. And yet
nobody in Washington, particularly in the D.C. press corps, dares to call it what it was:
a coup.
Details
of the Botoxic/Rutabaga phone call have leaked. They are VERY telling. [Thread reader] Botoxic
supposedly gave him "data" that he would lose. This is VERY IMPORTANT: It tells you they
know they CANNOT STEAL IT. If they could, she wouldn't have made that call! Contrary to
Hoax Media reports — remember, this whole thing is a Hoax Media-led coup attempt on Rutabaga — that
Biden was more willing to consider stepping down, he got in a yelling match with Botoxic and said
her "data" was wrong. Next important data point: She demanded she talk to someone else
and told him, the President, to "get off the phone." Who took over? Obama? NO.
Mike Donilon, one member of the "Four-headed hydra" RUNNING THE COUNTRY (Jilly, Hunter, and Andrew ...
forget his name, but ... contd ... he is Donilon's accomplice. They replaced who?
Obama? NO. Jayapal, Anita Dunn, and Ron Klain. NONE of these seven people have
any ties to Obama at all. They are totally NON-Obamaites.
Pelosi
Days Before Rally Shooting: Trump 'Must Be Stopped, He Cannot Be President!'
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) warned that a Donald Trump victory in November could spell doom
for the nation, insisting "he must be stopped" just days before a shooting at a campaign rally in
Pennsylvania where Trump was injured. In calling to stop the former president, Pelosi claimed
a victory for Trump, who is leading in most polls, would somehow undermine democracy. "This
is not a normal election where you want to win and if you don't, you cooperate and do the best you
can for the country and hope to win the next time," Pelosi told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. "This is
something that is undermining our democracy. He must be stopped. He cannot be president!"
Government's
license for laziness revoked. The U.S. Supreme Court has finally overturned the
infamous Chevron case after forty years, much to the consternation of lovers of Big
Government. We should praise SCOTUS for what they did judicially because Chevron was a
License for Laziness in both of the other branches of government. [...] Nowhere was that deliberate
deferred laziness more clearly epitomized than when the misleadingly-labelled Affordable Care Act,
aka ObamaCare, was enacted in March 2010. It was rushed through in such haste that the
majority of lawmakers voting on it had no chance to read, let alone digest, its thousands of
pages. Who can forget Madame Speaker Pelosi's pronouncement that "we have to pass the bill so
that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy." Though the statement has
been subject to various interpretations, to many it is the most brazen Declaration of Indolence
ever uttered by the leader of the legislative branch in American history.
Bad
Move: Nancy Pelosi Short-Circuits While Trying to Defend Biden. Democrats are
in a panic, not knowing what to do. But maybe when you deploy Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
to help defend Biden on the question of incoherence, someone should have told her maybe that really
wasn't the best idea. CNN's Dana Bash asked her about calls for Biden to step aside from the
race, even from The NY Times and from Biden's friend, Tom Friedman, also a Times columnist.
Friedman noted that if Biden loses, "Biden and his family — and his staff and party
members who enabled him — will not be able to show their faces." [Tweet with
video clip] Pelosi fell back to the narrative, "We see Biden up close," as though in
private he's different from the stumbling fool we see in public. It's just a "bad night" if
Biden is incoherent and can't form sentences. Just ignore the dementia and the failure of his
occupation of the Oval Office. And she herself had difficultly even getting out what she
wanted to say. So, trying to reinforce incoherent Biden with a slurring, short-circuiting
Nancy is not a great move.
A
Cool $5 Million-Does Pelosi Know Something We Don't? It's not hard to see why
some politicians are calling for a ban on lawmakers trading stocks. The problems of senators
and House reps getting filthy rich and generating conflicts of interest have been with us for a
long time. But the loot amassed by former California Democrat and former House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi is raising eyebrows afresh. According to the widely followed X account "Unusual
Whales," which tracks suspicious trades, Pelosi has made $5 million recently from her stock in
the company Nvidia, which is now the most valuable company in the world (albeit with a much higher
price to earnings ratio than second and third place, Microsoft and Apple). The company is
best-known for its computer graphics cards powering popular high resolution video games, but like
all such companies, it's branching out into Artificial Intelligence (AI). For reference, this
is 20 times her annual salary.
Turley
Demolishes Pelosi and J6 Committee, As Former Capitol Police Chief Finishes Her With More
Facts. I reported on the bombshell video of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
admitting responsibility for the lack of security at the Capitol as she was leaving it on
Jan. 6. She also said they should have been accountable but weren't. [Advertisement]
The video was taken by her daughter for an HBO documentary about Jan. 6, but hadn't been
released to the public before a couple of days ago. The House Administration Oversight
Committee released it after they got it from HBO. Pelosi gave a ridiculous and desperate
response to the release of the video, calling it "revisionist history" from Republicans. That
prompted a lot of mockery from people. How could her own words be "revisionist history"?
Meanwhile, the former chief of the Capitol Police at the time of the riot, Steven Sund, responded
to the video and blasted her, saying he had asked for the National Guard multiple times and he was
turned down.
Pelosi
in full meltdown over her J6 performance. For the last three-and-a-half years, the
Democrats have owned the Jan. 6 narrative. Republicans in Congress and the media gave it
away without a fight. The good news is that party standard-bearer Donald Trumpappears intent
on taking it back. On Sunday in Las Vegas, Trump made his strongest statement yet about that
memorable day, saying, "There has never been people treated more horrifically than J6 hostages."
Coincidentally or not, a snippet from the footage Pelosi's daughter Alexandra shot for HBO
surfaced on line a day later. The video was extracted from about 45 minutes of footage
handed over recently to the House administration oversight subcommittee. Shot in the backseat
of Pelosi's vehicle as she was being driven away from the Capitol on Jan. 6, Pelosi speaks
about her own role in allowing the chaos to happen. "We take responsibility, Terri," a testy
Pelosi says to her chief of staff Terri McCullough. "We did not have any accountability for
what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous."
J6
Capitol Police Chief Says Speaker's Staff Blocked Additional Security. Former Capitol
Police Chief Steven Sund responded to a viral video of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) admitting
that she was responsible for the lack of preparedness on Jan. 6, 2021. "Pelosi should
take responsibility!" Sund posted on X, adding "She put herself in the security decision process
and her Sergeant at Arms denied my requests for support before and during the Jan. 6
chaos. She undermined my law enforcement capabilities." Sund, who was in charge of the
Capitol Police during Jan. 6, then asked "Why did they change the law (2US1970) that tied my
hands?" [Tweet]
Liberal
Jon Stewart Accuses Pelosi of 'Legal Corruption'. Liberal TV host Jon Stewart has
called out Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for enriching herself with decades of "legal
corruption." The backlash against Pelosi's insider trading scheme, which has resulted in her
and her family growing incredibly rich, has been slowly building for some time. So much so,
that now even other liberals are starting to have a serious problem with Pelosi's scheming.
Politics is supposed to be about acting as a public servant. However, lawmakers like Pelosi
have abused their powers to massively inflate their own personal wealth.
Nancy
Pelosi yet again reveals Democrats' disdain for average Americans. Do Democrats have
contempt for Americans who aren't part of the richest 1% or don't live in cities on the
coast? This query comes after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made an outrageous
comment during a recent Oxford Union debate, calling those who may see themselves as part of the
populist movement just "poor souls who are looking for some answers." "We've given [answers]
to them, but they're blocked by some of their views on guns. They have the three Gs: guns,
gays, God," huffed the the 84-year-old Pelosi. "That would be a woman's right to choose —
and the cultural issues cloud some of their reception of an argument that really is in their interest."
How utterly condescending, albeit not surprising considering the elitist bubble that Pelosi —
who, along with her husband, is worth north of $100 million — lives in.
National
Guard Whistleblowers to Testify They Were Ready to Be Deployed on Jan. 6 But Pentagon Delayed
Orders. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and
Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were both warned about the security situation prior to
January 6th and both of them turned down National Guard troops at the US Capitol that
day. Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser turned down thousands of National Guard troops at the
Capitol on January 6 for political reasons. Chris Wray's FBI also refused to notify the
Trump administration and his cabinet secretaries that they believed there could be violence like
the mass protests at the Capitol that took place that day. Nancy Pelosi also refused the
National Guard at the US Capitol due to politics.
Nancy
Pelosi Marks César Chávez Day, Trans Visibility Day on Easter Sunday.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) marked Transgender Visibility Day and César Chávez Day on
Easter Sunday, though California state government offices will only observe Chávez Day on
Monday, April 1. Pelosi issued a tweet honoring the late farmworker union organizer and
civil rights leader on Sunday, shortly after posting a message of Easter greetings to Christians
nationwide. [Multiple tweets] Pelosi's recognition of C&ecute;sar Chávez Day on Easter
Sunday comes as President Joe Biden faces criticism for recognizing the day as Transgender Day of
Visibility — one of over 50 LGBTQIA2S+-themed annual observances.
Nancy
Pelosi's Son Gets Off Scot-Free (Again) for Money and Mail Fraud. Another day,
another Democrat or Democrat-approved person suffers no consequences for their actions. Paul
Pelosi Jr., son of Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Paul Pelosi Sr., was linked to two
individuals, Bill Garlock and Gina Rodriguez, who were involved in financial schemes related to a
flophouse in San Francisco's Mission District Paul Jr. supposedly owned. Apparently, there is
paperwork showing Jr. bribing people for building permits around the area, as the Daily Mail
reported. [...] Also, did you know this is the seventh time Paul Pelosi Jr. has been tied to
federal crimes?
What amazing luck! Nancy
Pelosi's son Paul Pelosi Jr. dodges federal charges for the seventh time after being linked to
money laundering. Two fraudsters linked to Nancy Pelosi's son are set to be sentenced
over a money laundering and mail fraud scheme, DailyMail.com can reveal. It is the seventh
federal case that Paul Pelosi Jr., the 55-year-old son of the former House Speaker, has been
embroiled in, documented in an extensive investigation by DailyMail.com. The charges leveled
by federal prosecutors against fraudsters Bill Garlock and Gina Rodriguez, include shady dealings
over a San Francisco flop house that Pelosi Jr. claimed to own.
Nancy
Pelosi's Son Dodges Charges In Money Laundering, Mail Fraud Scheme Linked To San Francisco Flop
House. Bill Garlock and Gina Rodriguez scammed investors into fronting over
$1 million for supposed real estate ventures, and instead used the cash to pay for their
lifestyle[,] including rent, loan repayments, credit card bills, and 'horse-related expenses,'
according to San Francisco federal prosecutors. The two obtained money from investors "by
means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, and by means of
concealment of material facts, including through the use of half-truths," according to a 2022
indictment. One project which the pair presented to duped investors was the renovation of a
dilapidated mixed-use building at the corner of Utah and 24th Street, which Paul Pelosi Jr. claimed
to own 20% of[,] and was involved in a 2017 bribery scheme to obtain permits for the property, a
move which led to the imprisonment of a city official and an engineering consultant following an
FBI sting. The property, located in the Mission District of San Francisco, has a troubled
past of code violations and squalid conditions. In other words, a flop house.
More
Evidence Emerges of Congress Members Engaging in Insider Trading. Fresh evidence has
emerged that shows members of Congress have continued to engage in insider trading — a
practice that would land members of the public in jail. Business Insider reports that new
evidence has been found supporting the allegation that Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and
other members of Congress are engaged in insider trading. [...] The claim has been that some
members of Congress — most notably Pelosi — have profited tremendously from
insider, non-public, knowledge that they have obtained through their government positions.
Pelosi's
husband made over $1.25 million on Nvidia stock bet in just three months.
Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi's husband bet big on computer chip company Nvidia late
last year, which has since made him over $1.25 million in just three months.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who has received widespread scrutiny over her husband's stock
purchases, is making bank on another well-timed bet on a familiar corporation. The California
Democrat's husband, Paul, who owns a San Francisco investment and consulting firm, scooped up
between $1 million and $5 million worth of call options in computer chip company Nvidia
on Nov. 22. Pelosi, however, held off on reporting the transaction until right before
Christmas. Nvidia is not new to the Pelosis. In 2022, Paul grabbed more than
$1 million in Nvidia call options — which give investors the right to buy shares of
a company at a specific price — just weeks before a congressional vote on providing
massive subsidies to the chip manufacturing industry. He sold them after she received
criticism over their timing.
Nancy
Pelosi, 83, says Joe Biden's age makes him "wise". President Joe Biden was described
by the special counsel earlier this month "a sympathetic elderly man with a poor memory." Since
then, Biden, 81, has been facing more and more scrutiny into his mental acuity and his advanced
age. Not to worry! Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 83, finds it completely normal for Biden to
run for a second term. The California Democrat said on CNN, "He's younger than I am, so what
do I have to say about his age? Pelosi dismissed voters' concerns about Biden's senior
moments. "I think his public presentation is OK," she said.
New
J6 Evidence Emerges, Pelosi Colluded With Secret Service? The more we find out about
the events of J6, the more Nancy Pelosi becomes suspect. According to sources, the former
Speaker of the House was in contact with the Secret Service on that day and was caught on video
stating that she was 'waiting' for the 'trespass' on Capitol grounds. She was waiting for it,
in her own words. Pelosi reportedly spoke with the Secret Service before they spoke to
President Trump on that day and told him that they didn't have the resources to protect him in the
Capitol. There was also a communication trail between Pelosi's office and the Secret Service
from that day, but, of course, much of it has been 'lost.' Additionally, it
was Pelosi's office that was charged with providing security for that day, but Pelosi reportedly
denied requests for additional security multiple times.
Pelosi
Suggests States Can Overrule Constitution and Ban Trump From Presidential Ballot.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Sunday suggested the states can overrule the US
Constitution and ban Trump from the presidential ballot. Pelosi appeared on ABC's "This Week"
to discuss Trump's Colorado ballot appeal to the US Supreme Court with host George
Stephanopoulos. Last week President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to overturn the Colorado
Supreme Court's decision to bar him from the 2024 ballot. The Colorado Supreme Court last
month disqualified Trump from the 2024 ballot.
Pelosi
says states, not voters, should be able to decide who is on a ballot. Former House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi just stunned viewers on national television by admitting that she thinks
states should decide who's allowed to run for president of the United States. This would give
states like California the ability to drop former President Trump from the ballot if she got her
way. Many feel her actions aren't about protecting "democracy" but about pure, unadulterated
power. Pelosi told CNN's Dana Bash on Thursday that although "martyr" Donald Trump could be
the beneficiary from the "raw politics" of being removed from state presidential ballots, it's the
"kitchen table issues" that are important to American voters.
Pelosi's
stocks surge: 'A sign of quasi-insider trading that's corrupt'. Former House Speaker
and Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California made a 65% profit on her stock trading
portfolio in 2023, according to an analysis of House of Representatives financial disclosure
records by the group Unusual Whales. Pelosi and her husband Paul, a venture capitalist in San
Francisco, have long been known for their jointly held stock portfolio, which has made significant
profits in recent years. In 2023, the Pelosi portfolio's profits were driven by trading
options contracts — which allow the holder to purchase a stock at a lower price than its
market value — and outperformed the Standard and Poor's 500 Index of the U.S. stock
market's largest companies by a margin of 40%, Unusual Whales reported.
Nancy
Pelosi's 2023 trading gains top 65%, boosted by stock options: report. Nancy Pelosi's
investment portfolio is once again among the top performers on Capitol Hill — and lately
she has gotten a major boost from a controversial use of stock options, according to government
disclosures. The 83-year-old, former House speaker — who remains a Democratic
congresswoman representing San Francisco — racked up a 65% return on her stocks
portfolio in 2023 — more than double the S&P 500's 24% gain, according to a new analysis
from stock-trading data site Unusual Whales. Pelosi wasn't alone, with other options-happy
members of Congress among the top-performing investors. Those included Rep. Mark Green
(R-Tenn.), who logged a return of more than 122%; and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), who was up
more than 25%. Unlike buying individual stocks, options allow for more leverage, which means
more exposure to a stock and a greater reward if a bet is right.
Politicians'
trades perform twice as well as market average. Investors dedicate countless hours to
solving the mystery of how to beat the stock market[,] and many lose millions of dollars in the
process. But the answer might be simple: Just copy Congress. A tool which copies
trades made by members of Congress and their families has gained nearly 20 percent this
year — performing twice as well as the stock market average of eight to ten
percent. And a separate tool which is dedicated to tracking Nancy Pelosi's investments
reveals her portfolio has returned a remarkable 50 percent in the last 12 months, vastly
outperforming the 17 percent gains of the benchmark S&P500 index of America's top companies.
The tools were created by Quiver Quantitative, which uses public disclosures from members of
Congress to mirror their trading activity and track the results.
Why
Was San Fran Gran Nan Served a Subpoena? Inquiring minds want to know —
why was Nancy Pelosi served a subpoena, as she reported on Wednesday? This development was
acknowledged when the House Clerk read Pelosi's statement. Pelosi reported to the House of
Representatives that she was served a subpoena "to produce documents in a criminal case" in
California. It is standard procedure for a member to report being issued a subpoena related
to a civil or criminal matter. [...] Pelosi has not publicly commented to which case the subpoena
is connected. The man who attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi, in a home invasion last year is
set to go on trial this month but it is unclear if the subpoena has anything to do with that
case. Meanwhile, it is business as usual for San Fran Gran Nan in Washington, D.C. She
endorsed Rep. Adam Schiff in his bid for the U.S. Senate seat left vacant with the death of
Senator Dianne Feinstein. Pelosi appears in two ads for Schiff that were released Wednesday.
The
'McHenry Kicks Pelosi out' Story Gets Even More Amusing. We wrote earlier about how
one of the first orders of business for speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) in the
aftermath of the House's ousting of Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as Speaker was to notify former House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that she needed to immediately remove her things and vacate her
hideaway office. Also, according to reports, an email sent from a House Administration
Committee aide indicated the room was being redesignated "for speaker office use." Naturally,
the move prompted some wailing from Pelosi, who proclaimed that the decision was "a sharp departure
from tradition." It was kind of an ironic statement to make considering, as my colleague
Bonchie noted, ousting a House Speaker — which Pelosi's fellow Democrats ultimately supported even
after she allegedly told McCarthy prior to him becoming Speaker she would push back against such a
move — is quite a departure from tradition as well.
The Editor says...
Let's review: A wide-open Mexican border, multi-trillion-dollar deficits, abortion on
demand, forced vaccinations, men pretending to be women, men in the women's restrooms, mail-in
ballots (with no evidence they were really mailed) counted days after election day, legalized
marijuana, assisted suicide, gun control, an obviously corrupt and venal president, crime without
punishment, a lesbian Senator who resides in Maryland representing California, electric cars,
windmills and solar panels instead of coal and natural gas, defunding the police —
nearly everything in the Socialist Democrats' platform is "a sharp departure from tradition."
Hakeem
Jeffries Staffers Cleaned Out Pelosi's Office, Hauled Away Her Belongings in Bags As Room Was
Re-Keyed. Acting Speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry ordered Nancy Pelosi to vacate
her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday. Rep. Patrick McHenry (NC) was appointed as
Acting Speaker after McCarthy was ousted. McCarthy chose McHenry as Speaker Pro Tempore
earlier this year and he now has all the powers of a House Speaker. McHenry ordered Pelosi to
"immediately" vacate her private Capitol office and since she was in California attending the late
Senator Dianne Feinstein's funeral, Hakeem Jeffries staffers were forced to clean out her
office. How come McCarthy never made a move like this?
Acting
Speaker Patrick McHenry Orders Pelosi to Vacate Her Capitol Hideaway Office by Wednesday.
As his first act as Acting Speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry ordered Nancy Pelosi to vacate her
Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday. Rep. Patrick McHenry (NC) was appointed as Acting
Speaker after McCarthy was ousted. McCarthy chose McHenry as Speaker Pro Tempore earlier this
year and he now has all the powers of a House Speaker. McHenry ordered former Speaker Nancy
Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway office pronto!
Nancy
Pelosi's In-Kind Contribution To The GOP. In announcing that she will run for
reelection to the U.S. House next year, San Francisco's Nancy Pelosi made an ill-advised,
out-of-touch, incredibly deranged statement. If the Republican Party doesn't use it in a
continuous loop of ads during the 2024 campaign, it will commit an egregious error. Pelosi,
regrettably House speaker on two separate occasions, declared last week her intention to seek
another term in Congress, which would be her 19th. The 83-year-old tweeted Friday that she
was running because "now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and
further our recovery." [...] At one time, San Francisco, or The City, as some locals like to refer
to it, as if there were no other, was one of the great cities of this country and the world.
Today it is often called "San Fransicko" because it's more urban pigsty than the charming town that
it once was. And it became that way because of "San Francisco values" — the same
ones the Democrats want to inflict on the rest of the country.
Nancy
Pelosi, 83, Announces 2024 Reelection Bid. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday
that she is running for reelection in 2024 to continue representing her California district in the House.
Pelosi, 83, stepped down from her leadership role following two decades in the post. "Now more than
ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery," Pelosi wrote on X.
"Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL.
That is why I am running for reelection -- and respectfully ask for your vote. -Nancy." Pelosi was
first elected to Congress in 1987.
Pelosi
says she's running because she 'needed to be able to still raise significant money'. Rep. Nancy
Pelosi told a reporter Friday that she's mainly running for office to raise money for herself and
other Democrats. Speaking with outlet Politico, the 83-year-old representative from
California said her veteran status in Congress is a major asset for raising funds. "My focus
is the House and presidency; you're in a stronger position as a candidate," Pelosi told Politico in
the interview. "You may not know this, but if you're not a candidate, you really can't raise
money for yourself. And raising money for myself enables me to spend that on other people."
The Editor says...
She cares more about money and power than anything else. Ostensibly for the benefit of everyone but herself.
If you find that hard to believe, don't vote for her.
How
Pelosi's reelection bid is upending ambitions in Sacramento. Speaker Emerita Nancy
Pelosi's decision to seek reelection next year will have cascading effects on San Francisco
politics and derail campaign plans for Democrats in down-ballot races, particularly the one to
replace state Sen. Scott Wiener. Wiener had been raising money and gathering support for
the possibility of Pelosi's retirement, which would have sparked a fight among San Francisco
Democrats gunning for a rare open House seat. But after Pelosi's announcement at a labor event
Friday morning, the high-profile state senator switched gears, saying he will run for a third term.
Nancy
Pelosi, 83 Years Old, Announces She Will Run for Re-Election. Sure, Pelosi isn't
staring blankly at the camera for 45 seconds at a time like [Mitch] McConnell has done twice in
recent weeks, but the overall sentiment remains — we need younger politicians to
represent us. In this age of technological advances and information spreading literally
second-by-second, sorry Nancy but an someone who will be 84 years old come the time of the
election, this isn't going to cut it. Social media let their feelings known after Pelosi's
announcement on Friday as #She's83 was trending across the country in the latest example of a
politician refusing to give up their power. [...] "The needs that our city [San Francisco] has
right now really call for me to stay another term," she absurdly said. Oh, San Francisco has
plenty of needs alright. But is it no coincidence that Pelosi has been in office throughout
the entire downfall of the once Golden City that has turned to rust and dust? After being
first elected in 1987, the two-time Speaker of the House now refuses to step aside for perhaps a
politician that actually knows what is happening on the ground and can actually make effective change.
Nancy
Pelosi says the U.S. will come to an End if Trump is re-elected. Nancy Pelosi thinks
that the U.S. is doomed if Donald Trump becomes president again and says the latest indictment of
the ex-President stands the best chance of getting him into prison rather than the White
House. The former House Speaker launched the war of words with Trump after claiming he looked
like a 'scared puppy' during his D.C. court appearance on Thursday. She also called the third
and latest indictment against Trump 'beautiful' and said he knows he is going to have to face the
music for trying to overturn the 2020 election results.
Why
Is Nancy Pelosi Still in Congress? Remember when Democrats lost the House and Nancy
Pelosi announced she was no longer going to lead the Democrats, handing over leadership to New York
Congressman Hakeem Jeffries? You have to remember it, Jeffries is black and that fact had
Democrats and the media pleasuring themselves over how they'd selected a "historic" first.
Well, it's been a while now and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't think old Nancy is
still in charge of Democrats in the House. That begs the question, why is she still
there? The deal was Nancy Pelosi would stick around for a little while to help the new
leadership team understand how the House works — something wildly condescending, if you
think about it — then she would resign. Parties can only have one leader at a
time, right? Well, it's been seven months and Nancy shows not only no sign of resigning, she
shows no sign if giving up control of the Democrat caucus in the House.
What
no one will say out loud about Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi's future has been the
subject of whispers in her hometown since the Democrats lost the House and she stepped down from
leadership. What everyone has wanted to know — but no one was eager to say
out loud, for fear of offending the speaker emerita or merely out of respect and admiration for
her — is whether she intends to keep her seat. And, if not, would she favor a
chosen candidate — or throw it open to what could be a wide open primary in one of the
most Democratic cities in the U.S. At stake is not just the once-in-a-generation chance to be
San Francisco's sole representative in Congress — a post Pelosi has held since 1987. Her
retirement, and the jockeying it would set off in state and local politics, would likely create
open races for state Senate, Assembly and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
California
defense team for man accused of attacking Pelosi's husband seeks to move trial from San
Francisco. The defense attorneys for David DePape, who was charged in a home invasion
attack against Nancy Pelosi's husband, are seeking to move the trial from San Francisco to Eureka,
Oregon. Lawyers for the man charged in last year's attack against former U.S. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's husband want his federal trial to be moved out of San Francisco, saying intense
publicity means he won't get a fair trial. David DePape is set to appear in federal court
Wednesday. His lawyers will ask the judge to move the trial to the city of Eureka,
neighboring Oregon. The federal trial is set to start Nov. 13.
Nancy
Pelosi's Sudden Conversion Experience. What I value most about MSNBC's new lineup is
the ability of its hosts to do hard-hitting interviews with adverse guests. No Fox
News — like softballs here; instead we get former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki
interviewing former Democratic House speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the results are every bit as
explosively contentious as you would expect from two people who have been blowing kisses to one
another over an explicitly shared political agenda for the last several years. (I assume it was not
Psaki's bona fides as a commentator wot got her the job as the Biden administration's mouthpiece.)
Among the hard questions Psaki put to Pelosi: Just how disappointed is she in this
conservative Supreme Court? ("Are you concerned the Supreme Court has lost its legitimacy?" she
boldly challenged her.) But I'm not really here for media critique today and besides, the shameless
by definition cannot be shamed. Instead I'm here because Nancy Pelosi's lengthy response to
that creampuff was a farrago of lies, cynical politicking, and howling personal hypocrisy notable
even for her.
J6
Footage Shows Camera Rolling as Pelosi Made Her 'Insurrection' Exit. Former House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) began January 6, 2021, by mugging for the cameras —
more specifically, a camera operated by her filmmaker daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, who just
happened to record every moment of her mother's movements on what would become one of the
most infamous days in American history. As a clearly tense Pelosi prepared to convene the
joint session of Congress during which Republican members of the House and Senate planned to debate
the Electoral College outcome in six states — Pelosi also is seen conducting a caucus
video conference that morning criticizing Republican plans to delay certification — her
chief of staff warned that President Trump might go to the Capitol following his noon speech at the
Ellipse. "I hope he comes, I'm gonna punch him out," she told Terry McCullough.
Never
Forget: Nancy Pelosi Swore She Had "Cold Hard Evidence" of Collusion Between Russia and Trump
Family — A Complete Lie. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke out in
July 2017, saying there is now "cold hard evidence" of collusion between Russia and the Trump
family. [Pelosi quote omitted for brevity.] This was a complete lie. She knew it was a
lie. She led the charge against President Trump for years pushing the Trump-Russia collusion
that never happened. Pelosi made these comments after a report was released of a 20 minute
meeting between Trump family members and foreign officials that led to nothing.
Republicans
strip $200 million meant for a park in Nancy Pelosi's district in new debt ceiling bill.
House Republicans are out with a second version of their debt ceiling bill meant to win over GOP holdouts
after repeatedly insisting they would not make changes to the legislation. Changes made during a
Rules Committee hearing that went until the early hours of Wednesday morning were meant to win over some
of the eight-plus holdouts whose votes are needed to get the Limit Save Grow Act through the House.
The House has now cleared a first vote on the rules for the sprawling package and is now expected to move
forward with a final vote on Wednesday afternoon.
The Editor says...
With the national debt as high as it is, federally-funded parks should be out of
the question. Any park in Nancy Pelosi's crime-saturated district is just going to
end up as a campground for homeless drug addicts.
The Editor says...
Maybe, maybe not. Political parties probably don't send text messages to those who are
not known to be in agreement with them.
Nancy
Pelosi is Sorry. She's rich, one of the wealthiest Members of Congress EVER, but that
doesn't mean that Nancy Pelosi isn't going to try to milk poor suckers out of a little bit more of
their credit card limit. I honestly don't know how she lives with herself; when she's rotting
in Hell maybe she will reflect on this as well as the insider trading that made her so wealthy and
her lust for abortion as a "devout Catholic." Until then, know that she's sorry. Not for
the hypocrisy, not for the graft, but for the begging.
Nancy
Pelosi's Theology and Her Politics. Nancy Pelosi has been locking horns with San
Francisco's Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone. The good archbishop forbade that Holy Communion
be administered to Nancy Pelosi within his diocese wherein is her residence. He requires that
the sacrament of penance be observed for the "serious sins" of supporting abortion and homosexual
behavior, including same-sex "marriage." Besides these, Pelosi runs afoul of Catholicism for
advocating that women enter the priesthood. [...] No person or church is Christian who celebrates
sin. Although all believers sin, believers are called always to repent and turn away from
evil. This is the basis for the archbishop's discipline of Pelosi. She is celebrating
sin of two types and must turn away from such sins before she's eligible to receive the Eucharist
again. [...] Pelosi has options. She can feign compliance, change to a residence outside
Cordileone's diocese, receive Holy Communion at churches that turn a blind eye to recurring and
unrepentant sinfulness, or repent.
If
'No One Is Above The Law,' Democrats And Their Partisan Pawns Would Be Arraigned, Not
Trump. Suspected insider trading deserves at least a second glance by federal
investigators, but it looks like, so far, Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul have gotten away with
conveniently timing their stock purchases and sales to massively grow their wealth. The same
people who love lording "no one is above the law" over Americans are the ones who think they are
above any semblance of oversight or law, or constitutionality.
Pelosi's
Tweet Reveals the Real Intentions Behind Trump's Indictment. [Scroll down]
Back to Pelosi's tweet. Pelosi wrote: "No one is above the law, and everyone has the
right to a trial to prove innocence." This is nothing short of a shocking statement, especially
from a lawmaker with many decades of experience. The presumption of innocence is the standard
in any civilized democracy — anyone accused of any crime is considered innocent until
proven guilty. The legal burden of proof lies on the prosecution, which must present compelling
face-based evidence to before a judge or a jury. The prosecution must prove that the accused is
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If reasonable doubt remains, the accused must be acquitted.
[...] This remains the goal behind the exercise, to make the process the punishment. To drag the
trial along, and to drain all their resources and spirits of the accused. To sully reputations
permanently. To make the accused feel worse than the worst of criminals in the U.S. They
know that these stories spread like wildfire and most people seeking a life of peace for themselves
and their families choose to refrain from challenging the Democrats merely to avoid hardships.
Pelosi
Statement on Trump: He Has the "Right to a Trial to Prove Innocence". The American
standard of justice is that the government has to prove a defendant guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt. Defendants do not have to prove anything and have a Fifth Amendment right to not be
"compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty,
or property, without due process of law." Pelosi's statement was posted online, "The Grand
Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the
right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect
the system, which grants him that right." [...] Politico's Kyle Cheney fact checked Pelosi, ""Prove
innocence" is not the standard in criminal matters. The burden is on the government to prove
Trump's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and he enjoys the presumption of innocence until that moment."
Did
Nancy Pelosi direct the US Capitol Police to stand down? The release of previously
withheld January 6 video footage by House speaker Kevin McCarthy to Fox News is interesting
for a number of reasons. By broadcasting, Tucker Carlson has shed light on the propaganda
fest known as the "United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack."
The Democrats even hired a former ABC News executive to produce the cherry-picked video production
and edit out inconvenient images that worked against their predetermined narrative. One
segment of the newly released video stands out: up to nine Capitol police officers were shown
acting as de facto tour guides for the man dubbed the "QAnon Shaman" (Jacob Chansley) by the
mainstream media. For anyone with a law enforcement background, this scene is quite
bizarre. No competent police officer would casually stroll through a high-security building
with an alleged "terrorist leader" of his own volition without a directive from his superiors.
'Like
having two popes': Pelosi reportedly wielding power from behind scenes. As the House
of Representatives transitions to new leadership, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi still holds onto
power behind the scenes, according to Politico. After nearly two decades of power, Pelosi had
to yield her speakership to Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, but is still calling shots from
the sidelines, Politico reported. Fellow House Democrats are conflicted on who to look to,
finding it difficult to see the former speaker as a regular member of the caucus. It's
"almost like having two popes," Democratic Rep. Dan Kildee of Michigan told Politico.
"It's actually gotten a lot better than some people would have predicted." While Pelosi
still grasps onto her power, she mostly keeps out of daily operations to allow new Democratic
minority leadership to take hold, like Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and Minority
Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, according to Politico.
No
Apologies Over Paul Pelosi. Apologize for what? [...] So, the authorities finally got around to releasing
the 911 call and bodycam footage from the Paul Pelosi hammer imbroglio, and now the left is demanding an apology from
everyone who refused to accept the regime's twisted, Swiss-cheese narrative about the whole attack. While there
are still unanswered questions — which no one would be asking if the regime media had not tried to blame
conservatives for the actions of the Berkely nudist — the cop body cam footage appears to show a nut and his
victim and not much more. Yeah, there was a lot of speculation early on about what really happened, partly from
the fact that the stories being pushed by the regime were contradictory or incomplete or just bizarre, but mostly
because we have been lied to so often that the regime no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. [...] So, in the absence
of answers and a tsunami of stories that do not make sense, yeah, people are going to fill in the blanks, and it might
not be pretty.
Observations
on the Paul Pelosi — David DePape Videos. On Friday three videos related to the Paul Pelosi
hammer attack at the Pelosi home were released. The entire event was weird and it just got weirder. Three
long-awaited videos came out earlier today related to the attack on Paul Pelosi in the early morning of October 28,
2022. [...] The second video jumps to a 911 call that Paul Pelosi made to authorities early that morning. This
call occurred at 2:23 am or a little more than 10 minutes after DePape entered the house. This call sounds
like a man who is calling for help. What is very odd is that DePape is there listening to the call. He even
offers his name.
Timing
of Pelosi and Memphis videos is to disrupt the news cycle. [Scroll down] Now let's look at the
video when the two open the door to the police officers. I was not expecting to be more confused after watching
the video. Like[,] Why answer the door if you're about to attack the guy? Why is he just chilling there with
a drink in hand? Why is Paul Pelosi holding a drink? Also, why wasn't the first thing Paul did is scream
"he's trying to kill me, shoot him!" Why would DePepe wait for the cops to show up to bash his head in? Why
would DePepe let Paul call 911 and talk to them? Who opened the door for the police? [Video clip]
Why
was he smiling and holding a drink? The dramatic police bodycam footage showing the violent attack on Paul
Pelosi finally provides a glimpse of the incident which triggered a string of conspiracy theories. A court ordered
the release of the video despite protests from the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, who said it could be
manipulated to spread misinformation. Ironically, the delay in sharing the footage prompted a stream of
speculation and some baseless claims about the attack.
The
Paul Pelosi attack coverup was another instance of the Democrats rigging the 2022 midterms. Just
yesterday, following a court order, footage of the attack on Paul Pelosi at his San Francisco home was made
public. The details were thoroughly covered by Andrea Widberg in her recent piece. There are open questions
and no clear answers about some aspects of the occurrences that night. The reason citizens should be concerned
about it is because the incident was used to push a narrative prior to the midterm elections. This wasn't just a
few conspiracy theorists blogging from their basements, it was a Democrat and media blitzkrieg. [...] Government
agencies did their bit, too. Hours after the attack on Paul, bulletins were dispatched to law enforcement across
the nation warning of a "heightened threat" of domestic violent extremism against candidates and election workers,
driven by individuals with "ideological grievances." The suppression of the police footage of the Pelosi attack
was done purposefully to create a vacuum that can be filled with the right-wing insurrection narrative before the
midterms, because the January 6 TV show trial was receiving no traction at all.
Paul
Pelosi sold $3 million worth of Google stock a month prior to the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit. Just yesterday
the Washington Free Beacon reported that former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul may have used
privileged information to cut their losses in the stock market. Financial disclosure filings that Nancy submitted
to the House Ethics Committee revealed that Paul sold 30,000 shares of Google worth approximately $3 million
between Dec. 20 and Dec. 28. A month later, on Jan. 24, 2023, the Justice Department and attorneys
general from eight states — including Pelosi's home state of California — sued Google for
monopolizing digital advertising technologies via serial acquisitions and engaging in other anti-competitive practices.
[...] This trade is the latest in a string of questionable transactions by the Pelosi couple. A Washington Free
Beacon analysis revealed that the Pelosi couple have seen their fortune grow to $140 million since 2008, due to
Paul's stock trades.
Nancy
Pelosi's Exorcism. Nancy Pelosi has at long last experienced a spasm of guilt over her tenure as the Best
Catholic in America, America's Mother, or whatever else she calls herself to get through the day. But it turns out
she has humbled herself enough to ask for help to make things right. Sort of. Over the weekend we learned
that the former House speaker, keeper of freezers full of expensive pints of ice cream and an ardent lover of killing
babies, has now suffered so much guilt over her husband's attack at the hands of a tidy whities-wearing weirdo that she
called in the services of priests to chase out the bad juju. For some reason, the underwear story has been
refashioned and retold as a hammer-wielding clothed man — even though he's an ardent nudist.
The
Super Shady Coverup of the Paul Pelosi Story Is Worse Than You Thought. Back in October, the story came,
and Democrats pounced on it, pushing the narrative that some deranged Trumpster had broken into the Pelosi home and
attacked the husband of the then-House Speaker in some politically motivated MAGA attack. Of course, it was soon
revealed that the attack was most definitely not a Trump supporter — but actually a left-leaning supporter of
Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ causes, as well as a nudist activist who reportedly struggled with drug abuse.
Oops. But it gets weirder. It was initially reported that when the police came, the attacker was wearing
nothing but his underwear — which was later retracted. There was a report that there was a third
unnamed individual who let the police in — which was later retracted. Then there was the report that
detailed how Pelosi opened the door for the police before returning to the interior of his home to reengage his
attacker — which was later retracted, and NBC News reporter Miguel Almaguer got suspended for reporting
it — even though his report matched details recorded in court documents.
The
Paul Pelosi Story Has Been so Thoroughly Muzzled, News Outlets Now Sue to Get Information. It was in late
October when the dire news broke that the husband of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been attacked in their home
with a hammer. For a couple of weeks, the story raged, as conservative news outlets and loose-tongued Republicans
were blamed as being the force behind the attack on Paul Pelosi. But soon, details emerged that countered the
initial outrage reports, and before long, the story began to rapidly fade from news cycles. Suddenly, it went from
being the story reporters could not shut up about to the story no one was allowed to discuss. At NBC News, a
report about the night of the attack was taken down entirely, with the reporter suspended as their story was
memory-holed. At the Washington Post, columnist Philip Bump forgot that he was a journalist as he delivered a
screed that explained why we should not want to have the footage and other evidence from that night released to the public.
The
Dignity of the House of Representatives. As for people who sold their souls for political power, look at
Pelosi and her career politician father, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. Nancy has reportedly said that her father taught
her from a young age that "no one is going to give you power. You have to seize it." Since entering the
political arena, she has obviously followed and echoed her dad's advice. History shows she has fought for as much
power as she could get — like other totalitarians before her. Her dad likely taught her the dark side
of the political force as well. An FBI background investigation on D'Alesandro ordered by President Kennedy
revealed some interesting facts about this career Democrat politician. The FBI said there were allegations that
daddy D'Alesandro associated with criminal elements when he was mayor of Baltimore and when he was a congressman.
An FBI report said Pelosi's father was a "constant companion" of notorious mobster Benjamin Magliano as well as other
mobsters. Another said that her dad got payoffs from applicants to the police force and that this helped him help
some of his friends. An FBI source also said that in 1943, D'Alesandro attended a rally for the National Council
of American-Soviet Friendship — a front group formed by the U.S. Communist Party. It appears that
Nancy's dad had concrete ideas on how to acquire and keep power — and who could help him do so.
Unfortunately these apparently included mobsters and communists.
The
Dignity of the House of Representatives. First, of course the fight for the speakership wouldn't have
happened under Pelosi. It wouldn't have happened under Stalin, Hitler, or Mao, either. As my dad said about
the Democrat party, the Bolsheviks never break ranks (or they're never allowed to). For instance, a recent report
says that less than 40 percent of Democrats approve of the Democrats' new House minority leader, Hakeem
Jeffries — but ordinary Democrats are never asked for their opinions.
News
outlets seek access to evidence in Paul Pelosi attack. A coalition of news organizations, including The
Associated Press, filed a court motion in San Francisco seeking access to evidence against the man charged in last
year's attack on former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi. During a Dec. 14 preliminary
hearing, the San Francisco district attorney's office introduced audio and video evidence against David DePape, the man
accused of attacking Paul Pelosi. But it has refused to release the evidence to the media. Attorneys for the
coalition said in the motion filed Wednesday that "the public and press have standing to assert their rights of access
to court records and proceedings."
More
Proof That Nancy Pelosi Was More Responsible for J6 Riot Than Trump. A little-noticed bill passed before
Christmas shows that the U.S. Senate knows Nancy Pelosi had more to do with the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6, 2021,
than anything President Trump did that day. Indeed, Nancy Pelosi could be crowned Queen of the Mob, since her
actions led to the crashing of the perimeter fences, general dysfunction, and deaths of Trump supporters that day.
Even after the one-sided January 6 Committee left Pelosi's role on the cutting room floor, there's one inescapable
conclusion: If she'd done her job, there would have been no riot, no deaths of Trump supporters, no show trials, and
no political prisoners sitting in solitary confinement in a D.C. gulag for two years awaiting trial. And there
would have been no need for federal agents to "orchestrate" a riot. Pelosi was more responsible for the marauding
mob at the Capitol that day than anything President Trump did to "incite" his huge crowd of supporters —
which he provably did not.
Nancy
Pelosi calls House Democrats 'The greatest collection of intellect, integrity, and imagination assembled.
Just when one thinks one has heard everything, one is proven wrong. Outgoing speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
recently wrote her last "Dear Colleague" letter to her Democrat co-conspirators/comrades. In this missive, she
stated, "During the 117th Congress, President Biden and Congressional Democrats have put forth a shining vision of
justice for all. Together, we have worked tirelessly to infuse this value into our legislative efforts. We
can all take immense pride in our achievements toward that goal, which is making a real difference in the lives of the
American people." Justice? For all? Tell that to all those still rotting in prison, without
conviction or charge, for strolling through the People's House on January 6, 2021. Tell that to those who
were snatched from their homes in the wee hours of the morning by armed feds when a simple summons to appear would have
sufficed. Tell that to all those whose jobs were considered unessential. Tell that to all those
in the military who were discharged because they wouldn't accept an experimental substance into their
bodies. Tell that to all those who have lost loved ones to violent crime, rates of which skyrocketed in the past
two years due to Democrat policies — or to those who have lost loved ones to fentanyl because Democrats
absolutely refuse to police our southern border. And tell it to America's rapidly dwindling middle class, beset by
historic inflation, supply chain problems, and rising taxes.
Our government is failing us.
Despite the utter failure of government to perform its most basic tasks, those in it often grow fabulously
wealthy. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is perhaps the best-known example. Her net worth has
been estimated at approaching $200 million — impressive, given a $220,000 annual salary. Much of her
wealth is attributable to investments by her husband, Paul, who has managed to successfully invest over the years in
companies affected by congressional laws, regulations and subsidies. [...] The same people making huge sums of money for
themselves are profligate and criminally wasteful with ours. Congress now routinely passes spending bills that
rack up trillions of dollars in expenditures, including hundreds of billions given to foreign countries. These
bills are thousands of pages long, with only hours allowed to read them — which means that representatives
and senators who vote to pass them haven't even read them. In any other profession, that would be actionable
malpractice.
Pelosi
Reaches Into Taxpayer Pockets On Her Way Out as Speaker. Even as the year draws to an end,
soon-to-be-former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi takes another swipe against American taxpayers. For the second
time this year, she's raised the ceiling on how much House staffers can make. Funny how she waited to make the
announcement until the last working day of the year, a time when Congress is in recess. [...] In August 2021, Pelosi
raised the maximum salary for House staffers to $199,300, up from $173,900. Earlier this year, she once again raised
staffers' maximum pay to $203,700. I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty darned happy with these two
raises. I certainly wouldn't be clamoring for more money so soon. Not that the staffers needed to.
Yesterday, Pelosi raised the ceiling again. This time to $212,100. If my math's right, that means a possible
$38,000 raise in less than two years.
The Editor says...
Yes, but now those are inflated dollars, so $38,000 in California will just
barely buy an industrial-size refrigerator full of gourmet ice cream. Right, Nancy?
Nancy
Pelosi Departs Position After Raising Pay for House Staff to $212,000. Departing House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi raised the maximum rate that lawmakers can pay House staff for a second time this year, totaling $212,000.
Earlier this year, Pelosi issued a directive that raised the pay rate from $199,300 to $203,700. She also issued
the minimum salary pay for House staff of $45,000. Pelosi defended her action, saying that it would help Congress
retain quality staff who might potentially look for outside opportunities from private employers.
Text
and Email Evidence that Pelosi Staffers Secretly Decreased Security at US Capitol for Jan 6. Rogan
O'Handley posted a text message from Nancy Pelosi's staff secretly editing the J6 security plan for the US Capitol and
then telling the House Sergeant at Arms to "please act surprised" when the final draft was published. The House
Sergeant at Arms responded, "I'm startled!" to the request showing his willingness to play along. This is more
evidence that the January 6 disruptions were planned in advance. [Tweet]

Speaker
Pelosi to Release President Trump's Tax Records for No Legal or Constitutional Reason on Friday. Nancy
Pelosi hates President Trump because he crushed her in every way. Now the old corrupt America-destroying Rep. from
San Francisco is dropping her last corrupt action on the country and against President Trump. Nancy Pelosi was for
one group of people during her corrupt reign as Speaker of the House. The bumbling evil woman was all-in for her
family and [not] with the rest. Her family made millions in the markets based on insider information she gave to
them. Her husband Paul made millions while she was Speaker. Investors began following him because he never
picked a loser in the markets. When Paul was unable to go with her on a recent trip to Taiwan she brought her
son. She had him join in a secret 'off the record' meeting in Taiwan.
Pelosi
Gets Heated Over Simple Question All Americans Deserve to Know Answer to. Outgoing House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi won re-election last month for the 18th time last month. She's been serving in the House since assuming
office in June, 1987. But will she continue to serve for another two years, completing the term of the 118th
Congress? Don't ask me. Don't ask her, either — it's not a question she wants to answer,
apparently. Reporters who didn't know that, if there were any, found out during a Thursday news conference when
someone had the audacity to bring it up.
Pelosi
Packs It in as Leader, Unveils Tribute to Herself - Let the Memes Begin. The Republicans won the House
during the midterms and perhaps one of the most important results of that is that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will
no longer be the Speaker when the new Congress is sworn in, in January. Pelosi was long past her prime (if she was
ever in it) some years back and it's been a horror show not just to deal with the horrible policies that she was willing
to sign aboard, but all of her other issues as well. If I had to hear her lie and say one more time, "It's for the
children," I think I would have screamed. But it was a great thing to hear her say it was her last testimony that
she would be making in a leadership role on Tuesday. [Tweet]
Son
of Paul Pelosi Attacker Just Torched the Liberal Media's Narrative About the Assault. It seems forever
since David DePape hammered Paul Pelosi in one of the most bizarre home invasions ever to occur on American soil.
The attack unfolded in late October. DePape broke into the home, though there is no evidence of forced
entry. The police body cameras are not being released, nor is the footage collected by the Pelosi residence
security cameras. DePape, who wore nothing but underwear, just waltzed into the home armed with hammers and
attacked Mr. Pelosi, who was also able to abscond to the bathroom to make an emergency call, describing DePape as a
"friend." Also, Mr. Pelosi was the one who let officers in before DePape reportedly hit him on the head with
a hammer, which required brain surgery. The liberal media was off to the races, seeing QAnon postings from DePape
and trying to make the right-wing lunatic narrative come alive, but it quickly died on the vine. For starters,
DePape is an illegal alien who suffers from mental illness — he tried to buy a birdhouse for a fairy he was
in contact with daily. He had rantings about the 2020 election, so you can see how the media was hoping this guy
was a conservative. He isn't based on the paraphernalia at his alleged home, which was decorated with ANTIFA, BLM,
and gay pride flags.
Paul
Pelosi 911 audio, body cam video aired at David DePape preliminary hearing. After hours of testimony
including 911 call audio and police body cam video, David DePape was ordered Wednesday to stand trial on all charges
stemming from the terrifying October home-invasion assault of Paul Pelosi. Superior Court Judge Stephen Murphy
determined there was enough evidence to move forward with prosecution on all state charges, including attempted
murder. Murphy ordered DePape is due back in state court on Dec. 28 for formal arraignment. During
Wednesday's preliminary hearing, prosecutors used 911 audio, police body cam video and investigators sworn testimony to
meticulously pieced together the case against the accused assailant.
Dementia:
2022's Word of the Year. Dementia can manifest itself with childlike behaviors, as when Biden threatens to
punch people, or when Pelosi petulantly ripped up President Trump's State of the Union speech. Indeed, Nancy
Pelosi is almost as incoherent as Biden, the Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan observed. Her MSM minions
can't protect her by claiming this recent video was doctored — just see the closed captions. Her 2022
press conferences were almost as uncomfortable as Biden's befuddling presentations. Incoherence manifested from
dementia were also evident when she confoundedly conveyed that tax cuts are unpatriotic, or that Trump's DACA proposal
was subterfuge to make America white again. Her communication and reasoning skills were questionable when she
impulsively arranged for a photo on the Capitol steps (and then doctored it) to commemorate white men no longer
representing a majority of the Democrat caucus. Those suffering from dementia often become suspicious of those
around them, accusing them of improper behavior. After her sexist disparaging of white guys trying to negotiate an
immigration deal, petulant Pelosi bizarrely claimed that Dreamers — otherwise known as young illegal
immigrants who commit disproportionately more crime — make America more American.
Nancy
Pelosi Picture With Capitol Press Corps Causes a Stir and Produces Some Hilarious Memes. Nancy Pelosi is
headed out the door as Speaker of the House after serving two four-year stints crushing American freedoms and
prosperity. Instead of treating her tenure like the disaster it was, though, the Capitol press corps is doing
exactly what you'd expect. Namely, idolizing Pelosi and treating her like a celebrity. That led to a
farewell picture that is causing a stir, and more importantly, leading to some hilarious memes.
NBC's
Mystery of the Week: Where in the world is Miguel Almaguer after Pelosi-report retraction? NBC News'
Miguel Almaguer was last seen on the Today show nearly a month ago, giving an update on the Paul Pelosi assault
story. At the time, Almaguer's sources within San Francisco law enforcement told him that body-cam records showed
Pelosi opening the door when police arrived, and then walking back toward his assailant: [Video clip]
NBC News later retracted the story, but didn't explain what Almaguer got wrong. Almost two weeks later, the local
NBC affiliate confirmed Almaguer's initial reporting: [...] The feds don't want to correct the record in their
indictment for a reason. They don't want to have to raise that question in court, or in the court of public
opinion either. Why? We certainly can speculate on that point. Apparently, NBC News felt the same way
after Almaguer's report. They retracted it within hours, even though it turned out to be entirely accurate, and
Almaguer hasn't been seen on air since. [...] One has to wonder whether NBC News is stuck in a position where they have
to keep Almaguer sidelined indefinitely. They clearly don't want to explain themselves or their actions. NBC
suspended him for reporting what turned out to be true, but which NBC mysteriously claimed didn't meet their
"standards." Presumably, truth isn't a standard at NBC News.
Pelosi
Gets Worse as She Gets Ready to Leave Congress. The woman has made a fortune in "public service," seeing
her family's net worth skyrocket to somewhere between $200 and $300 million while she "fought hard for the
poor." (Can't help but notice how she never cut them a check...) While the Pelosi fortune will last for
generations, ensuring her kids and grandkids will have no need to work, leaving them free to "pursue their passions" or
simply be degenerates, your family probably won't have that luxury. Small dollar donors to Democrat politicians
won't have that luxury either, yet this outgoing Speaker is still desperate to milk them for all they're worth.
Imagine being someone so gross that they'd ask people of modest means to go into credit card debt so you could fund a
vanity project. [...] Nancy Pelosi has no such dignity gene. She has started the "Pelosi Legacy Fund," a way for
her to continue to milk her considerable fundraising list of money which she will be able to use to play king-maker and
pay her travel expenses and much more for the rest of her life. You didn't expect her to pay for her lifestyle out
of her own pocket, did you?
After
Nancy Pelosi: Now What? I don't know about you, but I just feel relieved that Nancy Pelosi has stepped
down from leadership of the House Democrats. [...] Who cares if Nancy Pelosi was not a great legislator? She did
not become House Speaker to craft great legislation. She was there to ram through big government spending bills
that distributed loot and plunder to Democrat voters and powerful interests and approved activists. Her crowning
achievement, if you will, was to ram through ObamaCare, forcing moderate Democrats to vote for it, even though many of
them lost their seats in the 2010 midterms. And Republicans don't dare repeal it. My only question is
whether Nancy Pelosi understands this. Does she know that all she ever did was 1) insult Republicans as gun nuts
wanting to rob senior citizens of their Social Security and Medicare benefits, and 2) ram through spending bills to
distribute loot and plunder to her supporters?
The
Pelosi attack story just keeps getting weirder and weirder. The attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul in
their San Francisco home last month was already a very weird story. And it's only gotten weirder. In
addition to conflicting testimony and contradictory reports, we've also seen reports of an unidentified individual
reportedly posing as a federal immigrations officer trying to gain access to the suspect: [Tweet] Now the federal
government is claiming that the unidentified man was actually a federal agent, but that local San Francisco authorities
just didn't let him in?
Why
Did the DOJ Lie About the Paul Pelosi Attack? The attack on Paul Pelosi, outgoing Speaker of the House
Nancy Pelosi's husband, has largely receded into the background of the news cycle. Weeks before the 2022
mid-terms, though, it burst into the national consciousness and was quickly presented as another marker of just how
dangerous "right-wing extremism" is. It didn't matter that the attacker was a nudist protester who lived in a
leftwing commune adorned with Black Lives Matter and LGBT effects. The fact that he had allegedly dabbled in some
alt-right materials online was enough to hang him on Republicans and Republicans alone. [...] Never let a crisis go to
waste, though, right? And while former Obama flunky Rahm Emmanuel may have coined the phrase, it has apparently
been adopted by the DOJ. As RedState reported, AG Merrick Garland's outfit apparently lied about the circumstances
of the attack. That denial even led to an NBC News reporter being suspended for what now appears to have been a
truthful report. [...] The issue is the DOJ lying about it, quelling "conspiracy theories" that weren't conspiracy
theories. What could possibly be the justification for that? Obviously, the DOJ had the bodycam footage from
the start. The FBI was on the ground almost immediately, and that would have been one of the first things they viewed.
Nancy,
We Knew Ye Too Well. Has Nancy Pelosi really been the Democrats' House leader for only
20 years? It feels longer than that. As disappointing as this year's election was, the fact that we no
longer will be exposed to Ms. Pelosi is a big plus. And her successor will likely be an out radical, as
opposed to a camouflaged radical. So that could be helpful. Others will offer more nuanced political
commentary, but to me it seems that Nancy leaves a dual legacy. First, she pioneered the tactic of drafting
1,000-page bills in secret and voting on them 24 hours later. Remarkably, no one in the liberal
commentariat had any problem with this.
What
in the wide, wide world of sports is going on with the Paul Pelosi story? I know they're going to
try to run out the clock on this so they can pull the "What does it matter?" card when Speaker Nancy Pelosi no
longer wields Thor's hammer, but we've had to deal with how many years of this woman's arrogance and running roughshod
over truth, decency, justice, and the American way? Oh, no, no no. Inquiring minds have had it up to
HERE and it's time for public questioning and open discussion, even if we're short on answers at the end. [...]
Initially reported at the police press conference as an "unknown person" opening the door for
officers — leading everyone to question "Who's this 3d person?" — it was later clarified that
Paul Pelosi himself opened the door. Who then walked away from officers, back to DePape, his about-to-become
assailant. From that point forward the whole story goes to black[.] A veritable information blockade was
thrown up, apparently through the concerted and targeted efforts of the Pelosis, the media machine, command
elements of the San Franciso Police Department and Department of Justice, with intense pressure applied to squelch any
further discussion outside of the tightly controlled narrative Nancy Pelosi is dribbling to acceptable outlets.
Nancy
Pelosi [is] Headed to [the] Stock Trading Hall of Fame. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Thursday
that she would retire from House leadership. She has earned a spot in history for breaking barriers, succeeding in
what was formerly a man's world, and advancing a left-wing agenda more effectively than nearly any individual in
American politics. But the Breitbart Business Digest believes Pelosi's career ought to be defined in a
different way: She is the most infamous — and one of the most successful — stock traders of
all time. Her personal wealth has soared to nine figures and beyond since the financial collapse of 2008.
This is largely attributed to stock trades made by her husband, Paul; and those trades were often concentrated in
businesses and industries propped up by Nancy's political policies. As famously documented by Breitbart Senior
Contributor Peter Schweizer, Nancy Pelosi's stances shifted consistently as her family made money. Currently —
and thanks in part to the Speaker herself — most, if not all, of this appears to be legal.
Good Riddance, Madame Speaker.
[Nancy Pelosi] leaves behind a trail of tokens — remarks and phrases and images — that future
generations, if they're moved to do so, can trace to find what there is to find of the real Nancy Pelosi. Among
these many tokens, let's think of three. The most famous is the deathless remark she made not long before the
House of Representatives passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in March 2010. "We have to pass the bill," she said,
"so you can find out what's in it." The sentence belongs on her monument, if she gets one. It was her answer
to complaints that the ACA, as it quivered its way by peristalsis through the lower intestines of congressional
subcommittees and closed-door mark-ups, had grown too cumbersome, too complicated for ordinary people to comprehend its
effects or even its intentions. She chose to answer the complaint by agreeing with it — and adding an
implicit shrug: "What d'ya expect?" The remark was so honest and transparent and true — "saying the
quiet part out loud," we'd call it today — that her publicists in the press quickly tried to explain it
away. Pelosi, they said, was merely making a point about the tide of public opinion, which ran against the ACA:
Only when the bill had become law could the mass of little people be dazzled by the glories revealed within, and then
change their opinion of it, from skepticism to gratitude.
Body-Cam
Footage Confirms Paul Pelosi Opened Door for Police, Contradicts DOJ Account. Newly revealed body-cam
footage reportedly contradicts the Department of Justice's account of the sequence of events that led up to the attack
on Paul Pelosi, the husband of outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, confirming that Pelosi opened the door for
the police officers who responded to the 911 call he placed from his residence. While the DOJ claimed in an
indictment filed on November 9 that the officers opened the door themselves, body-cam footage viewed by the San
Francisco district attorney's office confirms that it was Pelosi who let them into the home, a source who personally
viewed the footage told the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit.
The Editor says...
This sounds like December 1963, when only a few reporters were allowed to view the Zapruder film and then describe
(or lie about) what they saw. The taxpayers paid for the body cameras. Just show us the footage!
Nancy
Pelosi's legacy — spending a colossal amount of money. Nancy Pelosi, who announced she would
not continue as the Democratic Party's leader in the House of Representatives, has been a great legislator. You'd
have to be to last for 19 years at the top of the Democratic legislative greasy pole. That doesn't mean she has
been a great font of ideas, a great visionary, or a great leader of the American people. She has been none of
those things. Her own contributions to this country on matters of policy, rather than shepherding or opposing
bills in the House, have been negligible. She was impotent when it came to dealing with an anti-Semitic outbreak
in her caucus in 2019, for example. And she descended into childishness to match her target's behavior when she
ripped up Donald Trump's State of the Union speech as she sat behind him in 2020. But fair is fair. She has proved
herself a political technician of immense skill. And if you like the game of politics, you have to enjoy someone
who plays it masterfully even if she's on a team you dislike.
Pelosi
heading out, Pelosi dynasty to begin? Now that Democrats have lost the House, longtime House speaker Nancy
Pelosi has said she is reassessing her future and will make an announcement today. [...] Instead of passing the gavel in
a great display of democratic continuity, that peaceable democratic change of power Democrats are so fond of touting
these days, Pelosi's plan seems to be to resign now, citing her husband's health following an atrocious hammer attack by
a drug-addled bum and illegal alien. No passing the gavel to a much-loathed Republican for her. She'd rather
not finish her term than pass the gavel to, horrors, a Republican. She can let Hakeem Jeffries, reportedly in line
for the House minority leader slot, do that. But this being Nancy Pelosi, power will not be left on the
table. She'd like to go, but for her, giving up power is anathema. What better than to leave it all in the
family, where it's already been for two generations so far, and continue the enterprise, bigger and better than ever?
Bay
Area NBC station is running report questioning the circumstances of Paul Pelosi's hammer attack. NBC News
is under mounting pressure to explain its actions after suspending star reporter Miguel Almaguer over one of his Today
show segments on the Paul Pelosi hammer attack. It took the action despite a second report on the
company-owned-and-operated NBC Bay Area station that repeats many of the same points in Almaguer's report.
National correspondent Almaguer quoted sources saying the husband of House Speaker Nancy did not immediately declare an
emergency when he answered the door to police at the couple's San Francisco home following a 911 call.
Feds
and SF DA disagree on who opened the door to the Pelosi house, yet NBC reporter is suspended. The federal
indictment of David DePape, accused attacker of Paul Pelosi, is in direct contradiction of court filings by the San
Francisco District Attorney on the question of who opened the door: police or Paul Pelosi?
[Video clip] Yet, just yesterday, The Daily Beast reported that NBC Today show correspondent Miguel Almaguer
was suspended pending an internal investigation after NBC News was compelled to retract his reporting regarding the
brutal assault on Paul Pelosi. In his report, Almaguer claimed Paul Pelosi did not immediately declare an
emergency or try to leave his home, but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and
away from the police. Almaguer also wondered Paul why didn't try to flee or tell responding officers he was in
distress. Almaguer also cited court documents which state that, when the officer asked what was going on, the
assailant David DePape smiled and said 'everything's good' but in moments a struggle ensued where the police saw DePape
strike Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer. [Tweet]
Congresswoman for life: Pelosi
Steps Down from Leadership, Will Continue Serving in Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced
Thursday she will step down from her leadership role after two decades in the post. "I will not seek re-election to
Democratic leadership in the next Congress," Pelosi said. The first female speaker added that she will continue to
represent the people in San Francisco in the House. The California lawmaker will relinquish her position as head
of the Democratic caucus, which she's held for 19 years, to make way for a "new generation to lead."
Pelosi
claims 'disgraceful' Republicans being 'disrespectful' to her after attack on husband got Dems midterm
votes. Nancy Pelosi doesn't like criticism or even questions and won't tolerate them, as we know from the
countless times she's lashed out at the media, especially this year, right to their faces for daring to challenge her on
anything. The media, of course, immediately tuck tail and seek forgiveness for daring to transgress. And
that is the behavior she demands from everyone. So it's not a huge surprise that she considered it "ridiculous"
and "disrespectful" of Republican candidates to not lay down their arms and quit campaigning because a nutjob commie
attacked her husband. Or asked questions about whether it might be the case that Republicans perhaps didn't
collectively hold the wacko homeless hammer as one.
NBC
News Suspends Reporter for Retracted Paul Pelosi Story. NBC Today show correspondent Miguel
Almaguer has been suspended pending an internal investigation after NBC News had to retract his reporting that inflamed
right-wing conspiracy theories about the brutal assault on Paul Pelosi, Confider has learned. In an on-air report
that went viral soon after it aired Almaguer suggested Nancy Pelosi's husband was not in danger when cops arrived at
their San Francisco home. "After a 'knock and announce,' the front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi. The
82-year-old did not immediately declare an emergency or tried to leave his home but instead began walking several feet
back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police," Almaguer reported on the morning of November 4.
"It's unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured or what his mental state was, say sources." Hours later, the
report — which was based on an unnamed source seemingly contradicting the claims of both prosecutors and
police — was retracted and video of the segment was scrubbed from NBC's website.
Key
Detail Changed in New Filing Against Alleged Paul Pelosi Attacker. Authorities are now saying that Paul
Pelosi did not open the door to the Pelosi residence when police officers arrived in late October, a change from before.
[...] San Francisco Police Chief William Scott told reporters on Oct. 28 that officers did not open the door. "So
when the officers arrived and knocked on the front door of the residence this morning, the door was opened by someone
inside and the officers observed through the open door Mr. Pelosi and the suspect, Mr. DePape, inside the
entryway of the home," he said. Some news outlets reported that a third person was inside and opened the door, but
authorities later clarified that only two people — Paul Pelosi and DePape — were inside.
Jenkins has also said that there was no security present when DePape allegedly broke into the residence and woke Paul
Pelosi up. Authorities have refused to release the bodycam footage from the responding officers and any 911 calls
connected to the incident.
The Editor says...
How does the public benefit from bodycams on every cop, if the resulting footage is released only when it is advantageous to the cops?
The Paul
Pelosi Attack [is] Looking More And More Like An Election False Flag. As most that follow politics know,
soon-to-be former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's Husband Paul was attacked early Friday morning, resulting in
hospitalization and brain surgery after taking a hammer to the head by the assailant, 42 year old David DePape.
Those are the facts. If those facts seem to be awful thin it is because a number of things were instantly reported
about the attack, with the media claiming almost immediately that DePape was a "right-winger," extremist, who ran two
blog sites with conspiracy and "right-wing" rhetoric, all suggesting the attack was politically motivated, until more
information was revealed. This is where everything gets strange. The man lived in what has been referred to
as a "hippie" commune, had Black Lives Matter signs, anti-capitalism signage, and another bumper sticker with the
definition of liberal on it and a slap to conservatives. [...] As shown above, the more news that comes out about this
attack, and the alleged assailant, the more questions pop up. At this point there are more questions than
answers to the entire episode.
About
Those Three Bizarre Media Retractions in the Paul Pelosi Story. [Scroll down] We don't know what
happened that night and probably never will. According to early reports, DePape intends to plead not guilty and
has yet to tell his side of the story. Here's what we do know: If the 911 call or surveillance video of body
cam footage were released, it would clear up a lot. But local Democrat authorities won't release it, which is
odd. One thing the public is used to is seeing the footage and hearing 911 calls in a high-profile case. But
these are the same authorities who refuse to release body cam footage of Mr. Pelosi's DWI arrest in June. I
also suspect that if the audio and video proved beyond any doubt that the Approved Narrative was accurate and would,
therefore, damage the Republican party one week before an election, that audio and video would be all over TV and social
media on a 24-hour loop. Here's the other thing: We know the police dispatcher said Mr. Pelosi referred
to DePape as a friend. We also know that all three reports that were later retracted make it sound like DePape was
indeed a friend and that another "friend" was present. We know the Pelosi home had monitored security, and the
media do not seem very interested in that fact. No one's asking why an alarm didn't sound after a window was
supposedly smashed in. Maybe the windows weren't alarmed. That in itself would be odd for the home of a
grotesquely wealthy, high-profile politician.
Rumor
Has It Nancy Pelosi May Be Forced to Step Down After Midterms. Rumor has it a red wave is taking over
Congress, and Democrats are panicking. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly plans to step down from her position
if that just so happens to be true, with her daughter in line to take over for Pelosi. Christine Pelosi, a
Democrat activist, has remained at her mother's side for most of her political events, even writing a book on "America's
Most Powerful Woman" in 2019. If the plan to replace Pelosi with her daughter becomes reality, that would make her
the third generation to serve in Congress.
Report:
Nancy Pelosi To Retire After She Loses Majority; Her Radical Daughter Christina Is Reportedly Set To Replace
Her. Already, rumors have swirled that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) could step down when
Republicans likely retake control of the House in the upcoming midterm elections. Pelosi's new district,
California's 11th Congressional district, would be a highly coveted seat for Democrats who are interested in replacing
her as it is a D+37 district, according to the Cook Political Report, making it one of the safest Congressional seats in
the country for the Democrat who wins the nomination. Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine Pelosi, has already been
floated as a viable option to replace Nancy. Christine is a left-wing activist and Democratic political strategist
who has served as the Women's Caucus Chair of the California Democratic Party and as an Assistant District Attorney in
San Francisco.
The Editor says...
A seat in the U.S. Congress is not a family heirloom, to be passed from one generation to the next.
Prosecutors
refuse to release police bodycam and surveillance footage from Pelosi's house at sealed court hearing.
Prosecutors in San Francisco are refusing to release police bodycam and surveillance footage from the home of House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul during the attack on the congresswoman's husband last week. District
Attorney Brooke Jenkins — a Democrat who defeated 'woke' DA Chesa Boudin in a recall earlier this
year — refused to release details beyond what was already in court filings, including video of the
attack. 'Mr. Pelosi opened the door, they were both holding a hammer and the police observed Mr. DePape
pull that hammer away and then strike Mr. Pelosi,' Jenkins said Thursday. That is the most that we're going
to say at this point. Our job is not to try this case in the public or in the press. It's to try it in a courtroom.'
Nancy
Pelosi Speaks on Camera for [the] First Time Since [her] Husband's Attack. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) has spoken on camera for the first time about her husband, Paul Pelosi's condition after he was attacked in
their home last week. Pelosi opened a 28-minute video about the upcoming midterm election by giving a brief update
about her husband, who returned to their residence from the hospital on Thursday. "Thank you, thank you, thank you
for kind words, your prayers, and your good wishes for Paul," Pelosi said. "It's going to be a long haul, but he
will be well. And, it's just so tragic how it happened, but nonetheless, we have to be optimistic. He's
surrounded by family, so that's a wonderful thing," she said. Paul Pelosi, 82, was released from Zuckerberg San
Francisco General Hospital about one week after he was attacked inside his home.
Paul
Pelosi Had A Brush With Death. Here's Why We're Not Crying. Democrats and their little media friends
are beside themselves that right-wingers aren't in mourning over the very strange — shut up, don't
ask! — attack on Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband. They've all seemed to have
forgotten how they treated everyone over the past three years. To recap, 82-year-old Paul Pelosi was hospitalized
last week after a man in his house attacked him with a hammer. At this point, that is literally the only thing
that everyone agrees happened, since the story keeps changing. To wit, NBC's "Today" aired a segment Friday
morning billed as an "exclusive" with "new details" about the assault. And then NBC deleted the segment from its
website and from its Twitter account, claiming that, "The piece should not have aired because it did not meet NBC News
reporting standards."
Media
propagandists become more brazen as the midterms approach. Just yesterday, NBC News broadcast a report by
Miguel Almaguer about the attack on Paul Pelosi[.] [...] The report appears consistent with what was seen in the initial
police report, cited by Deadline Hollywood [elsew]here. But within hours, the report was taken down with an
editor's note claiming that "This piece has been removed from publication because it did not meet NBC News reporting
standards." [...] It seems Miguel Almaguer's report on NBC News could have disturbed the campaign narrative of
Republicans being behind the attack, rather than what it was, which was an attack by a leftist drug-addict, so the
report was summarily removed. This has been done before when the Democrat narrative was challenged.
Here's
Why NBC News Deleted a Report on the Paul Pelosi Attack. [Scroll down] After trying to memory-hole
the report, NBC applied a strange note to the now-unplayable video's page: "The piece should not have aired because
it did not meet NBC News reporting standards." As some on Twitter pointed out, mainstream outlets reporting new
information, then quickly and quietly trying to pretend they didn't report it, does not do much to help assuage those
who think there's more to the story than is being explained. [Tweet] Authorities still say they will not
release body-worn camera footage from the responding officers — which would quickly clear up the disparity
between what Almaguer reported and what the FBI affidavit stated — nor the 911 call Pelosi placed. The
U.S. Capitol Police have also said they are not planning to release footage their cameras recorded the night of the break-in.
NBC
Broadcasts, Then Deletes, a Report From San Francisco That Directly Contradicts FBI Statement About Pelosi
Attack. Something sketchy is going on here. NBC aired a report on the attack against Paul Pelosi
that directly contradicts the FBI affidavit of the events when police arrived at the Pelosi home. NBC then deleted
the broadcast report from Twitter and their website saying it "did not meet their journalistic standard." It's
worth noting the contradiction stems from the FBI report written by FBI Agent Stephanie Minor, who is relatively new to
the FBI: [...] Why would the FBI use such a junior agent for such a high-profile case? It seemed odd when the FBI
affidavit was released. The NBC broadcast says that Paul Pelosi opened the door, didn't declare an emergency...
and then walked back to his attacker and was attacked. NBC Scrubbed this report, but not before it was captured on
the internet. [Video clip]
NBC
News pulls report claiming Paul Pelosi didn't indicate 'emergency' to cops. NBC News pulled a report
Friday that claimed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband didn't let on that he was in any danger when cops showed up at
his home just prior to the hammer attack on him. The now-deleted clip said Paul Pelosi, 82, answered the door for
cops who responded to a 911 call at the San Francisco home, but the officers were "seemingly unaware they had been
called to the home of the speaker of the House." Pelosi didn't "declare an emergency" or try to leave, but instead
walked several feet back into the foyer toward armed attacker David DePape, who had broken into the home last Friday and
was carrying a hammer, sources told NBC. The report, which cited sources familiar with the matter, said it wasn't
clear what Pelosi's mental state was or if he had already been hurt.
NBC:
Paul Pelosi walked away from police before hammer attack. What actually transpired at the Pelosi household
last week? We know the basics: a nutcase attacked an elderly man and nearly killed him after breaking into the
house. We also know that Joe Biden and fellow Democrats have attempted to graft this attack onto their midterm
"democracy in peril" messaging, including Biden's national address this week, while simultaneously attempting to tamp
down discussion of the facts of the case. However, NBC offers new details this morning on the police response
before the attack — and Paul Pelosi's curious reaction to it, at least at first. According to their
sources, Pelosi himself opened the door when police arrived, and rather than walk out, began to walk back toward
assailant David DePape. DePape even assured police that everything was "good," which — given the broken
window — police clearly didn't believe. Only then did the hammer attack occur, prompting an immediate
response from the surprised officers, according to NBC: [Tweet] [...] Body-cam video and the police reports would be
helpful in this case to suss out the answers to the questions raised. At the moment, though, those are not
available — and may not be for a long time. As David Strom wrote yesterday, the media doesn't seem
interested in digging deeper into the oddities of this case, and in fact are casting aspersions on anyone looking for
some actual journalism in this case as conspiracy-theory kooks.
Media
Narrative on Pelosi Attack is 'Morally Outrageous': Experts. In an election year that has Democrats often
using the "extremist" label on the GOP to distract from the country's economic problems, experts say that the rush by
mainstream media to blame "right-wing extremism" for the attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calf.),
has actually harmed the Democrats[.] This summer the Democrats used the Jan. 6 Committee hearings, amplified by the
media, to highlight the "danger to democracy" that the GOP allegedly poses to the country. But one observer said
that the quickness with which some media outlets alleged that the attack on Paul Pelosi was the result of a conservative
obsession — before more detail about the alleged assailant came to light — betrayed an underlying
agenda. "It would have behooved them to just wait [and get the facts], but instead they have painted an entire part
of the country, everybody, as an extremist" over the attack, Carla Miller, national spokesperson for Law Enforcement
Today, the largest law enforcement-owned media company in the United States, told The Epoch Times.
NBC
Retracts Report That Exposed New Details in Pelosi-Attack Investigation. NBC News reported significant new
details in the investigation into last week's attack on Paul Pelosi on Friday — and then promptly retracted
the report as soon as those details began circulating online. In a Today Show segment that aired
Friday morning [11/4/2022], NBC News anchor Miguel Almaguer reported that Pelosi reacted in an unusual way to the
arrival of police officers after calling 911 because a deranged, underwear-clad man had broken into his house and was
searching for his wife, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. "The front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi. He
did not declare an emergency or try to leave his home, instead began walking several feet back towards the assailant and
away from police," Almaguer reported, citing "sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence."
[Tweet] Hours after the segment aired live on NBC, it was deleted from the Today Show website and an
editor's note was appended to the page. "The piece should not have aired because it did not meet NBC News
reporting standards," the editor's note reads.
Paul
'Jussie Smollett' Pelosi — and Questions You Aren't Allowed to Ask. The whole thing has a
Jussie Smollett feel to it, to be honest, where everything "reported" fits perfectly into what Democrats need it to be
and the truth, as is always the case with these people, isn't even a consideration. The second the story was
reported came word the alleged attacker was asking "Where's Nancy?" Democrats in the media immediately seized on that to
tie it to Jan. 6th, because everything is Jan. 6th to them. But how would they have heard he said
"Where's Nancy?" If there were only 2 people there — Paul and the attacker — which one
told police or reporters he was walking around saying that? Was it the man arrested for the attack or the guy with
the multiple skull fractures who needed emergency surgery? Most likely it was neither. At some point after
Nov. 8th asking questions will become semi-legal again and the truth will come out. We'll likely learn that
never happened. Maybe it was just a couple of Nigerian brothers paid by check to do it, who knows? Nancy
Smollett anyone? What we do know is we aren't allowed to ask questions, peons that we are, and the people with the
job of asking questions and being skeptical of "official" stories are the ones insisting anyone doing what is literally
their job is somehow a conspiracy theorist. Journalism was always pathetic, now it's gotten worse.
WaPo: hide
the evidence. Democracy Dies from Knowledge™. Spread the Darkness™. The Truth
Hurts™. Pick a slogan. Philip Bump of the Washington Post argues that releasing the video from the Paul
Pelosi break in/assault would only fuel conspiracy theories. Best to stick to the official Narrative™ so
that we plebs don't get any uppity ideas that we aren't being told the truth. He actually, truly, 100% no kidding
is arguing that the evidence should be hidden, as any great reporter would. In other news, Bump argues that
Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, there were no actual human trafficking victims in the crimes for which Ghislain Maxwell
was convicted, and the tooth fairy really does leave money behind if you put your tooth under the pillow.
11
Years Ago, Democrats Got Everything Wrong. They Are Doing It Again. Last Friday, a crazy hippie drug
addict who lived in a broken-down bus broke into the home of Nancy and Paul Pelosi. Almost nothing we were told
initially turned out to be correct. What we do know now, is that DePape is an illegal alien, and he's been
mentally ill for a long, long time. By example, for an entire year, he thought he was Jesus Christ. The Paul
Pelosi attack has now been used by the Democrats as definitive proof that "the right-wing" including the GOP, Fox News,
and every rando on Twitter, is to blame for inspiring DePape. If anyone ever said Nancy Pelosi was a jerk, that
was evidence of inciting a climate of violence generally and targeting Nancy Pelosi specifically. The View's
leading dummy, Whoopi Goldberg, claimed that Fox News "has blood on their hands" because a nut attacked Paul Pelosi and
wanted to kneecap Nancy with a hammer. The human carrot occupying the Oval Office gave another political speech on
Wednesday night and, along with other nonsense, Biden mentioned the DePape attack and claimed it was evidence of the
"right wing" inciting violence.
FOX
News Affiliate Forced to Retract Report that Pelosi and DePape were Found in their Underwear. There
continues to be massive speculation about what took place at the Pelosi residence in San Francisco in the early morning
of Friday. The San Francisco Police have given few details and then were forced to come out and "correct" several
of their previous statements. The Pelosi narrative is still being concocted in the back rooms and halls that house
the powerful elites. [...] [San Francisco Police Chief] William Scott said Depape was booked on charges of attempted
homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary, and "several additional felonies." The charge for
elderly abuse was addressed by Greg Kelly. He noted that elderly abuse appears to apply to individuals who have a
relationship.
David
DePape Pleads Not Guilty to All Charges in Paul Pelosi Incident. David DePape pleaded not guilty Tuesday
to all charges in his first court appearance on Tuesday. DePape pleaded not guilty to the numerous charges against
him in the alleged Paul Pelosi attack on Friday morning. DePape appeared in court with a sling on his arm.
He was not shackled for some reason.
U.S.
Capitol Police had live video feed at Pelosi home but didn't notice break-in: Sources. Alive security
video feed at the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi caught the suspect in the recent assault on her husband Paul
Pelosi, but no one from the U.S. Capitol Police was watching, sources told Just the News. U.S. Capitol Police did
not return numerous requests for comment on Tuesday. A source revealed to Just the News that the officer who was
in charge of monitoring the feed didn't notice the break-in occurred until the flashing strobe lights from responding
San Francisco police squads were visible on the feed.
Paul
Pelosi attack: Cops weren't monitoring cameras during break-in. The Capitol Police has live cameras
outside Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home — but officers were reportedly not watching the feeds
when her husband was brutally assaulted. The agency monitors 1,800 cameras at the Capitol and away from its
jurisdiction, including at the Pelosi residence in San Francisco, the Washington Post reported. An officer who was
cycling through the many live feeds Friday at one point noticed police lights flashing outside the home and rewound the
video, according to the paper.
Nancy
Pelosi's former neighbor questions why invasion triggered no warning. Nancy Pelosi's former neighbor is
questioning why a violent home invasion triggered no alarms — as security experts condemn the apparent ease
with which David DePape broke in, and predict federal protections will be extended to her family. Residents of
tony Broadway Street in San Francisco are used to fleets of black SUVs surrounding the Speaker's red brick mansion 24/7,
a heavy police response to any disturbances, and even their computers getting scrambled by alleged security measures to
protect the nation's Number Three. So when Marjorie Campbell read that her old neighbor had to call 911 himself
while negotiating with a hammer-wielding madman, she was deeply perplexed.
Pelosi
'won't release home-security footage,' Dems demand GOP take blame. What is known about a confrontation in
the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is that a person arrested for injuring her husband, millionaire
Paul Pelosi, was "mentally unstable" with a brain "addled by long-term drug use." He is a former "pro-nudist
activist, convinced that 'he was Jesus for a year,' who lived in a bus on a semi-commune and has embraced conspiracy
theories from the left and right," according to columnist David Harsanyi at the Federalist. So why, then, are so
many questions remaining unanswered, including reports that Pelosi won't turn over home security footage of the
fracas. Likely, Harsanyi finds, because with the truth of the matter uncertain, leftists can insist that "every
conservative personally 'condemn' the actions of the mentally ill man." And that would have "nothing to do with
lowering the rhetorical temperature or averting violence," but instead has "everything to do with trying to compel
Republicans to take responsibility..." he explained.
WaPo
wonders: Why did the Capitol police bungle Pelosi's security? How did an intruder make his way undetected
to the home of the House speaker long enough to break into it and attack her husband? The Capitol police provide
security for Congress and especially for its leadership, including Nancy Pelosi's home, which is covered by real-time,
24/7 surveillance. And in this case, the CPD's cameras actually caught the intruder coming onto the property and
breaking into the house. If that's the case, though, why did Paul Pelosi have to call 911? [...] Apparently,
the first notice of something amiss at the Pelosi house picked up by surveillance is when they saw police lights
flashing on the cameras. They had to roll back the video to discover that the assailant could be clearly seen on
their cameras approaching and then breaking into the Pelosis' home. Oof. The Post uses this as a
springboard mainly to tie the attack and the failure to a massive wave of threats connected to the riot on
January 6, 2021. Capitol Police didn't install surveillance cameras and live monitoring last year, however,
as the excerpt notes. They didn't get installed after Trump took office either, or even when Trump started
campaigning, even though the WaPo's story mentions Trump six times in the course of the article.
What
We're Learning About the Man Who Attacked Paul Pelosi. The pathetic human known as David DePape was, until
recently, a public backer of Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ causes. At least, that's what we can surmise by surveying
his "home" in Berkeley. DePape had a "Black Lives Matter" sign in the window and an LGBTQ rainbow flag, emblazoned
with a marijuana symbol, hanging from a tree outside his house. Author Michael Schellenberger describes the scene
outside DePape's residence and took a dive into his social media to — not surprisingly — come up
with a far different portrait of Pelosi's attacker than the already-set narrative being pushed by the mainstream media.
Everyone
Is Laughing at the Ridiculous Pelosi Big Lie. Perhaps a guy walking through San Francisco in his Fruit of
the Looms with a hammer in his hand at 2 a.m. might not draw a lot of attention, but a lot of things don't quite
add up. Hey, I don't know about you, but I have a few questions, some of which could be quickly answered with a House
oversight committee deposing Paul Pelosi once he recovers and, just to be sure, sending a subpoena to Grindr. An
official investigation? Yes, please! This is a serious matter, we're told. After all, the regime media and
Democrats such as Ilhan Omar are out there making charges like "A far-right white nationalist tried to assassinate the
Speaker of the House and almost killed her husband a year after violent insurrectionists tried to find her and kill her
in the Capitol, and the Republican Party's response is to either ignore it or belittle it." Heck, Our Democracy is
at stake, so the incoming Republican majority must get to the bottom of this alleged act of political violence. I
somehow think the Democrats will be reluctant to help, though Speaker McCarthy should not let any Democrats on the panel
in the first place as payback for the 1/6 kangaroo committee.
How Did David DePape
Get into the Pelosis' House? The Pelosis are worth somewhere north of $100 million. Nancy Pelosi is
the speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and second in the line of presidential succession.
You're telling me her husband Paul was alone in a house with no security or surveillance cameras? This lunatic
David DePape just walked right up to the house and broke in? I've got other questions. The initial report
was that DePape was in his underwear when the police caught him beating Pelosi with a hammer. Now we're told
that's not true. [...] Okay, I'm just trying to picture the scene that the two responding officers saw: They entered
the Pelosi home, found DePape attacking Pelosi, and stopped him. How did they get into the house? Did they
break down the door? Was it unlocked, or already open? Did DePape or Pelosi open it? The story is that
the police encountered DePape in the middle of beating Pelosi. So if DePape opened the door for them... why?
Or if Pelosi opened the door for them... how? I see a lot of people speculating that this was some sort of lovers'
quarrel, or a Grindr date gone wrong, or something along those lines. Doesn't seem likely to me, but is it really
outside the realm of possibility? Are you a homophobe? [...] Blaming Republicans for this is grasping at
straws. But WaPo and the NYT and the rest have gotten their marching orders, I guess. Oh, one last question:
Presumably the responding officers had body cams. Showing us the footage would shut down all these conspiracy
theories, wouldn't it?
Alleged
Paul Pelosi Attacker Charged With Assault, Attempted Kidnapping. The man who allegedly attacked the
husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was charged Oct. 31 with federal and state charges, including
assault and elder abuse. David DePape, 42, was charged with assault and attempted kidnapping by U.S. prosecutors
and a slew of felonies by local prosecutors, including elder abuse and assault with a deadly weapon. DePape
allegedly entered the Pelosi residence in San Francisco on Oct. 28 and tried to kill Paul Pelosi, 82, and attempted to
kidnap Nancy Pelosi, 82. He faces up to 50 years in prison if convicted on the federal charges. He faces
up to life in state prison if convicted on the state charges. San Francisco officers responded to a 911 call
from Paul Pelosi in the early hours of Friday and witnessed, after the door was opened, DePape and Paul Pelosi each with a
hand on the same hammer.
Debate
Of 'Third Person' At Pelosi Home Deepens. Corporate media is denying initial reports by San Francisco
police that there was a third person on the scene during the attack on Paul Pelosi. In a press conference Friday,
Police Chief William Scott said that 'someone inside' opened the door while Pelosi and his attacker were struggling over
a hammer. However, reports on Monday call it a 'baseless claim.' District Attorney Brooke Jenkins also claimed
that only Paul Pelosi and the attacker were on the scene. It still remains unclear who opened the door to police
officers when they arrived on the scene. The DOJ has filed federal charges against the man accused of attacking
Paul Pelosi. 42-year-old David DePape was formally charged on Monday with assault of an immediate family member, of
a federal official and attempted kidnapping of a federal official. According to the federal criminal complaint,
DePape had a list of targets to attack, including Nancy Pelosi. Furthermore, the ICE confirmed that the
Canadian-born suspect is currently in the United States illegally after a long-term visa overstay.
Alleged
Paul Pelosi attacker is an illegal immigrant, 'longtime' visa overstay: report. David DePape, the man who
allegedly broke into the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband, Paul, with a hammer,
was reportedly in the country illegally. A source with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Fox News
that DePape was an illegal immigrant and a "longtime" visa overstay, meaning he arrived in the United States by legal
means but did not leave after his visa expired and was never repatriated. DePape was born in Canada and has
resided within the U.S. for roughly 20 years.
Release
Paul Pelosi's 911 Call. There are now no fewer than two — and possibly three —
investigations taking place into the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Officials
claim to want to quell the speculation about the attack on Pelosi's husband, but they could clear a few things up by
releasing the actual 9-1-1 call and police body cam video. Instead, local police, Capitol Police, and the FBI say
"we're not revealing any other details at this time." Law enforcement has the perp dead-to-rights attacking Paul
Pelosi, and two cops are witnesses, so what's being protected, exactly? [Tweet] By now we have learned that
Pelosi was attacked by David DePape, a 42-year-old illegal alien, Berkeley pothead, and nudist enthusiast who likes to
parade around naked on the streets of San Francisco. Naturally, the media claim the 42-year-old mentally ill man
is a "MAGA" conservative because of his choice of intended victims.
Pelosi Got
Hammered. When a story comes out about a Pelosi getting hammered, a normal person assumes the news has
something to do with a drunk speaker of the House named Nancy slurring through a staged press conference with her Pravda
media friends. You do not expect to find out that an alleged commie Castro nudist with a fondness for psychedelics
has managed to Mission: Impossible his way past tight security surrounding one of the speaker's guarded homes in
order to play handyman with her husband's tools. [...] It boggles the mind to imagine that it is easier to sneak up on
Nancy's gilded husband in the middle of the night than it is to break into the humble abodes of "flyover country" folk,
but that is the "official story," and if there is anything Americans have learned during the Age of COVID and Climate
Change Hysteria, the "official story" is the only story that will suffice. [...] If it is that easy for a commie Castro
nudist to prance right in the back door of the home of one of America's most powerful politicians, then no unarmed
American can possibly be safe!
Glenn
Greenwald examines the 'instantly formed media narrative' about the attack on Paul Pelosi. San Francisco
police and other investigators still haven't yet confirmed a motive in the attack on Paul Pelosi, according to the
latest reports: [Tweet] That brings us to Glenn Greenwald's thread examining the media/Dem narrative compared to
police statements and what questions are not being asked: [Tweet] Greenwald sees what's happened, and it's that
if you don't automatically agree with the mainstream media hive mind, you're a wacky conspiracy theorist. [Tweet]
If the country had a real media there are many totally fair questions to be asked about the Pelosi story: [Tweet]
Five Lingering
Questions About The Bizarre Paul Pelosi Attack. Politicians on the left wasted absolutely no time
attributing the Pelosi attack to "The Republican Party" and "far right white nationalists". [...] And as Glenn Greenwald
pointed out this weekend, there's also the fifth question of how Paul Pelosi was able to take a bathroom break in the
midst of an attack. Greenwald is right when he says it "requires more scrutiny" after Politico reported
that Pelosi told the intruder "he had to go use the bathroom" in the midst of the break-in. From there, Pelosi was
apparently able to dial 911 from a phone that he had left charging... in the bathroom.
Analysis and conjecture: The
Awful Truth: Paul Pelosi Was Drunk Again, and In a Dispute With a Male Prostitute. [Scroll down]
These people are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Nancy is third in line to the Presidency. You don't
think they have the most amazing security? And by the way, when Pelosi was in that drunk driving accident, he had
a young man with him, and that too was covered up by the police and the press. How would (suspect Depape) have been
able to break a window that without triggering an alarm? He didn't. The police broke the window to gain entry.
Ri-i-i-ight. As in most home invasions, the intruder knows where the bedroom is and just wants to "take a nap" -- at 2:00 a.m. Criminal
Complaint: Pelosi Attacker David DePape Went Up to the Bedroom — Was Tired, Wanted to Take a
Nap. The Justice Department announced federal charges against David DePape, 42, in the attack last Friday
on Paul Pelosi, the 82-year-old husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), at the couple's San Francisco
home. Kristinn Taylor reported on the announcement earlier. DePape is being charged with assault on a family
member of a U.S. official and one count of attempted kidnapping of a U.S. official, Nancy Pelosi, who was not home at
the time. [...] According to today's version of events, David DePape broke into the home unnoticed, went to the bedroom
where Paul Pelosi was sleeping where they had a discussion before Paul slipped into the bathroom to make a call.
The court documents then say David DePape was tired and wanted to take a nap.
New
Information Emerges About Suspect's Background After Attack on Paul Pelosi. David DePape, the man accused
of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer last week in the couple's California home, has been
"mentally ill for a long time," according to a woman who identified herself as DePape's former life partner. Oxane
Taub, a nudist activist who's currently incarcerated in the California Institution for Women after being convicted on
abduction charges last year, told ABC7 that DePape, 42, suffered from mental health issues. "Hello, this is Gypsy
Taub. I am the ex-life partner of David DePape and the mother of his children," Oxane "Gypsy" Taub told the local
media outlet over the weekend. "He is mentally ill. He has been mentally ill for a long time." Taub, who noted
that the pair had two sons before they split seven years ago, said that DePape at one point disappeared for about a year.
Dems, Media
Demand GOP Call Off Campaign. Three days out from an attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband in
their San Francisco home, we still know precious little about the attacker's motivations — or, for that
matter, about what precipitated the attack itself. That hasn't stopped Democratic politicians and their allies in
the mainstream media from fingering the culprits — their Republican adversaries — and concluding
that, eight days out from an election in which they are bracing for a shellacking, the GOP should spend the final week
of the campaign sitting on the bench, reflecting, atoning. How convenient. How cravenly and transparently
political. Pelosi herself, meanwhile, is fundraising on the back of the attack.
Biden
and Democrats spin the attack on Paul Pelosi to smear Trump, MAGA backers. Joe Biden lost no time blaming
ultra-mega-semi-fascist-MAGA-Donald-Trump supporters for the strange attack on Paul Pelosi in his San Francisco home
early Friday. Barack Obama did the same, using a rally in Michigan for failed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to rail
against "politicians who work to stir up division to try to make us angry and afraid of one another for their own
advantage." So did Hillary Clinton, who tweeted: "The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread
hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result."
So did Kamala Harris, demanding people "speak out against hate." So did every other Democrat surrogate,
like Hollywood director Rob Reiner who tweeted: "Donald Trump is 100% responsible for this and Jan.6." So did
all the Democrat-aligned media who delivered the same talking points in unison, along with dubiously sourced facts and a
false depiction of the alleged attacker as a MAGA Republican in defiance of his drug-addicted hippy lifestyle, Green Party
membership and the BLM and LGBT signs festooned across his sometime residence, a nudist commune in San Francisco's gay
Castro district.

News Anchor Loses Her Mind Because GOP Refuses to Concede the Election to Nancy Pelosi. The attack on Paul
Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, has dominated the news the last few days. Questions still remain
about how David DePape, a nudist protester with a convoluted political history, got inside the house, but what appears
fairly clear is that the assailant had a drug-induced psychotic break. Naturally, though, the easy answer isn't
the one the left wants. Instead, they want to pretend that Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy making a joke a year ago
is what actually "radicalized" DePape because everything must be stupid. CBC News anchor Margaret Brennan toed
that line on Sunday, losing her mind because the GOP refuses to concede the election to Democrats nine days before the
mid-terms. [...] Brennan and her cohorts have only decided that campaigning is bad in this instance because they think
they can shame Republicans into giving up a sure victory. Hysterically, the CBS News anchor actually suggests that
the GOP has run too many ads that "mention Speaker Pelosi by name," as if that's unusual or out-of-bounds.
Two
Far-Right Websites Attributed to David DePape to Smear Conservatives Were Fabricated — They Were Created
Friday and Deleted Saturday. The mainstream media attributed two websites to the man arrested with Paul
Pelosi on early Friday morning, David DePape. However, this all appears to be another far-left farce. David
DePape was found with Paul Pelosi early Friday morning in his underwear at the Pelosi home by police in San
Francisco. The mainstream media immediately tried to cover for the Pelosi family. They then attempted to
align the man in his underwear found with Paul Pelosi as a conservative. But it was all a lie. There are
numerous questions related to this case already. In addition, the media tried to frame DePape as a conservative
based on websites that were reportedly his. DePape was homeless and a drug addict but the media insisted he was
running a conservative website? Makes perfect sense. [...] The problem is the websites cited by the mainstream media
that were supposedly aligned with DePape were scraped on Friday and they are no longer active Saturday [10/29/2022].
NBC
News Walks Back Report There Was Third Person Inside House During Attack on Paul Pelosi. NBC News walked
back a report Sunday that there was a third person in Paul Pelosi's home during the attack. "The SFPD also says that
there were only TWO people inside the Pelosi home (Paul Pelosi and DePape) when they responded, clarifying statements
made at Friday's press conference which seemed to indicate there was a third person inside the home who opened the
door," wrote NBC investigative correspondent Tom Winter on social media on Sunday afternoon. [...] Winter reported
Sunday morning on Meet the Press that there was a third person inside the home, who opened the door for police.
Pelosi
Attack Suspect Was A Psychotic Homeless Addict. Leading politicians yesterday blamed the political Right
for the brutal attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul. "This is despicable," said President
Biden. He noted that the alleged attacker, David DePape, 42, shouted the same line, "Where's Nancy?" as the
supporters of Donald Trump, who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. [...] "This attack," said San Francisco's
state Senator, Scott Weiner, "is terrifying and the direct result of toxic right-wing rhetoric." Journalists, en
masse, agreed with their assessment. [...] DePape lived with a notorious local nudist in a Berkeley home, complete
with a Black Lives Matter sign in the window and an LGBT rainbow flag, emblazoned with a marijuana symbol, hanging from
a tree. A closer look reveals the characteristics of a homeless encampment, or what Europeans call "an open drug
scene." [...] Neighbors described DePape as a homeless addict with a politics that was, until recently, left-wing, but
of secondary importance to his psychotic and paranoid behavior. "What I know about the family is that they're very
radical activists," said one of DePape's neighbors, a woman who only gave her first name, Trish. "They seem very
left. They are all about the Black Lives Matter movement. Gay pride. But they're very detached from
reality. They have called the cops on several of the neighbors, including us, claiming that we are plotting
against them. It's really weird to see that they are willing to be so aggressive toward somebody else who is also
a lefty." [...] Wrapped up in their own obsession with Trump Republicans, most journalists have missed the real
story. David DePape is not a microcosm of the political psychosis gripping America in general. Rather, he's
a microcosm of the drug-induced psychosis gripping the West Coast in particular.
Paul
Pelosi's Attacker Gets a Lot Weirder, and the Picture Gets a Little Clearer. On Saturday morning, I penned
a piece noting how little sense the attack on Paul Pelosi made. Specifically, the attacker, David DePape, had a
profile that seemed to be all over the place. One second, we were finding out he was a nudist protester who lived
in a leftwing commune decked out in BLM signs and gay pride flags. The next second the authorities were telling us
that he was a January 6th supporter who disparaged Jews. So what's the real story? Well, if a new report
from The Washington Post is accurate, we might finally have an answer, and perhaps predictably, it's probably not going
to confirm anyone's priors. [...] Far from being some organized, sinister Republican operative, radicalized by GOP
thought, it appears DePape is what he always appeared to be: An insane person with no long-standing, coherent political
ideology. His shift from leftwing to rightwing conspiracy theories was likely a result of his already broken
mental state.
Is
Nancy Pelosi a 'Beard'? Does this Explain Her Unceasingly Angry Disposition? The incident at the Pelosi
house on early Friday morning is still puzzling at best. There now are more questions than answers. The
police didn't share how David DePape entered the house in their first press conference. They did mention that they
charged him with burglary but that was it. In the second San Francisco Police Department press conference on the
matter on Friday, the police provided more information. The police shared: "I can confirm that Mr. DePape
forced entry into a rear door at the rear of the Pelosi home." So when did Mr. DePape lose his pants? Was
it before he entered the house or after he entered Paul Pelosi's bedroom? Did they find the pants? What was
Mr. Pelosi wearing when he got into the hammer fight with the younger man? Not everyone is buying this
evolving storyline from Democrats, their media, and the SFPD. In his latest move making headlines, Twitter owner
Elon Musk called out Hillary Clinton for sharing a LA Times article that aimed to paint Paul Pelosi's "attacker" David
DePape as a far-right conspiracy theorist.
Elon
Is Right- The Websites Were Created After The Attack! Elon Musk is wasting no time in turning Twitter
into a place where truth is not censored. In his latest move Musk called out Hillary Clinton for sharing a LA |Times
article that aimed to paint Paul Pelosi's "attacker" David DePape as a far-right conspiracy theorist. [...] Joe Hoft
at The Gateway Pundit reported last night that the information Hillary Clinton used to smear Republicans is very
questionable. The websites that started these rumors were scraped after the attack on Friday. They were
taken down on Saturday! On Sunday news broke that David DePape was in Paul Pelosi's bedroom. For some reason
that piece of information did not leak out until Sunday, three days after the attack.
Another
MSM Hate Hoax — The 'Far-Right' Websites Attributed To Paul Pelosi Attacker Are Fabricated And We Have A
Proof (Screenshots). A 42-year-old Berkeley, California, man is accused of breaking into House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco house and beating her husband with a hammer before dawn Friday. The mainstream media
so far reported he targeted a Democrat and that he is a right-wing conspiracy theorist. Biden went even one step
further and alleged that the attacker is a Trump supporter as he commented on the attack at the top of his speech at
Philadelphia's 3rd Annual Independence Dinner and said that he spoke with the Speaker and said that her husband was
operated on and was recovering and in good spirits. But the mainstream media decided to fuel the fire! The
media tried to frame DePape as a conservative based on websites that were reportedly his.
Police
Chief Claims Unknown Person Let Officers Into Home Of Paul Pelosi On Night Of Attack. The San Francisco
Police Department released some information regarding Paul Pelosi's arrest but some very important information has been
left out to date. The San Francisco Police held their first press conference on the events earlier in the day
yesterday and they didn't mention how the police got into the house, but somehow they did. An unidentified person
is reported to have let police officers into Paul Pelosi's home during the early hours that an intruder broke in and
attacked Pelosi with a hammer. According to San Francisco Police Department Chief Bill Scott when law enforcement
arrived at the Pelosi residence, "the door was opened by someone inside". He didn't however clarify who that
person was.
Democrat
Media Complex Politicizes Attack on Paul Pelosi: 'Anger of the Right'. The Democrat media complex has
tried to incriminate conservatives for the attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi. "We know
that Nancy Pelosi has attracted the ire, the frustration, and the anger of the political right for many, many years,"
CNN's senior law enforcement analyst, Andrew McCabe, claimed during a recent interview. On Friday, Chief Bill
Scott of the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) identified the suspect in the attack on Pelosi's husband as
42-year-old David DePape, according to Breitbart News.
Leftists
and violence privilege. Crime has been on the minds of many Americans these days, but at no time has it
come to prominence in the national discourse faster than in the aftermath of the Paul Pelosi assault earlier this
week. As Bill O'Reilly most astutely observed, "the Pelosis don't believe in self-protection. They also
don't even consider public safety. The maniac is allegedly a drug addict who lives on the streets of
Oakland. There are tens of thousands of Bay Area people in the same circumstance. Authorities don't care,
and that includes Congresswoman Pelosi. Dangerous street people are allowed to do what they want." Therein
lies the issue. Pelosi, like many progressives, selectively pettifogs the evils of progressive policy except when
their insidious byproducts affect them personally, violence being one.
Paul
Pelosi's Attacker Identified as 42-Year-Old Nudist Activist David Depape. An assailant identified as David
Depape reportedly attacked Paul Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, with a hammer at the couple's home in San
Francisco early Friday morning. [...] Some conservatives on Twitter questioned how an assailant would be able to break
into the Pelosi's home given its high level of security. "My firm served a lawsuit against Paul Pelosi one time in
SF after attempting to serve at other residences," tweeted civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon. "They weren't
home, but staff were, and multiple law enforcement officers were on the perimeter. Break-in is odd given this
level of security." [...] Meanwhile, the left is stoking a narrative that the deranged nudist activist is a violent
"right-wing extremist."
Paul
Pelosi attacker David DePape lived in a school bus. The man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer
had been living in a school bus weeks before the attack, neighbors said. Those who know David DePape, 42, told The
Post they've seen him living in a yellow school bus parked in front of the Berkeley home of his ex, San Francisco
pro-nudist activist Gypsy Taub, with whom he shares three children. "He usually kept to himself," neighbor Ryan La
Coste told The [New York] Post. "He would just give us a blank stare when we would walk by. We tried to stay
clear of him. ... No one knew he was here because he would be on the bus or he just didn't communicate." La Coste
said he "wasn't surprised at all" when he learned his former neighbor was involved in the brazen attack on Pelosi.
The
Man Who Attacked Paul Pelosi Is a 'Psychotic, Homeless Addict' With No Discernible Political Agenda. The
pathetic human known as David DePape was, until recently, a public backer of Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ causes.
At least, that's what we can surmise by surveying his "home" in Berkeley. DePape had a "Black Lives Matter" sign
in the window and an LGBTQ rainbow flag, emblazoned with a marijuana symbol, hanging from a tree outside his
house. Author Michael Schellenberger describes the scene outside DePape's residence and took a dive into his
social media to — not surprisingly — come up with a far different portrait of Pelosi's attacker
than the already-set narrative being pushed by the mainstream media. [...] I am going to repeat this again because it
continuously fails to get through on the left and the right: Mentally ill people do not have "political agendas." They
have "visions." They have "delusions." They see things. They hear things. There is no left.
There is no right. There are only the voices in their heads, and to believe otherwise is to prove that you should
join them in the asylum. These pathetic human beings can be dangerous, and most should not be left unsupervised.
Biden
connects 'despicable' Paul Pelosi attack to Republican talk of stolen elections. President Biden on Friday
called the attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) husband at their San Francisco home "despicable" and suggested it
was a natural progression from lies Republicans have spread about the 2020 election. [...] Police said earlier Friday
that the suspect in the case violently assaulted Paul Pelosi around 2:30 a.m. Authorities arrived at the home for
a "priority well-being check" and found the two men tussling over a hammer. The suspect then gained control of the
hammer and used it to attack Pelosi. The Speaker was not in San Francisco at the time, according to her spokesman
Drew Hammill. U.S. Capitol Police said she was in Washington, D.C., with her protective detail.
Reporter
Caught on Hot Mic Confirming Media Not Telling Truth About Pelosi Attack. Paul Pelosi, the husband of
Nancy Pelosi, was hospitalized after being attacked in his home (the House Speaker was not there) by a man reported to
be a former Castro nudist and hemp jewelry maker named David Depape. That doesn't sound very "MAGA" but the lib
media will no doubt try and make the attacker into a Trump fan one way or another. There's something really weird
about this Paul Pelosi attack story. Nothing is adding up. But one thing we do know is that the so-called
"intruder" is some hippy-dippy dude from Berkeley who sells hemp bracelets and used to belong to a nudist colony.
So, they'll be really hard-pressed to blame this on a Trump supporter. But we might never know the whole truth!
It appears we are not getting the real story, according to a conversation a mainstream media reporter had with his
boss. [Video clip]
Paul
Pelosi When Calling Cops Said 'He Doesn't Know Who the Male Is but He Advised that His Name Is David and He Is a
Friend'. Paul Pelosi reportedly told 911 dispatch that the individual who allegedly attacked him with a
hammer in his home "is a friend," according to a police dispatch call early Friday morning. The alleged intruder
reportedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer, which forced him to undergo emergency surgery for his injuries.
Officers later identified 42-year-old Berkeley resident David DePape as Pelosi's attacker. DePape was reportedly
wearing only underwear when officers arrived on the scene. He was taken into custody and will be charged with
multiple felonies, including attempted murder, San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins announced.
The
Paul Pelosi Story Makes No Sense, and the Public Needs Answers. I've stayed away from the story of Paul
Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's husband, being attacked by a hammer in his San Francisco home to this point because of how
confusing the fact pattern is. [...] What has come out about the attacker and how the attack unfolded simply doesn't add
up. Now, that could be because we just lack some additional facts that confirm the predominant narrative, but
until those facts arrive, no one can be blamed for looking at the situation with some heavy side-eye. [...] For example,
aside from supposedly being a January 6th nutter, we know that David DePape is a hemp jewelry-making nudist
protester. Here's what his house looks like. [Tweet] Additional pictures show signs supporting Bernie
Sanders and Chesa Boudin, both far-left figures. The flag out front is a gay pride/marijuana flag (what will they
come up with next?). Further, DePape is apparently a "father figure" to the children of a woman in a commune who is
married to another man. That woman is known for her public proclamation of 9/11 conspiracy theories, which are
typically a left-wing pursuit.
San
Francisco Police Identify Suspect in Attack on Paul Pelosi. Chief Bill Scott of the San Francisco Police
Department on Friday identified the suspect in the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) husband as 42-year-old
David DePape. "At approximately 2:27 this morning, San Francisco police officers were dispatched to the residence of
Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding a priority well-being check. When the officers arrived on scene, they encountered
an adult male and Mrs. Pelosi's husband, Paul," Scott said during a press conference.
Paul Pelosi Attacked in His San Francisco
Home, Suspect Identified as Pro-Nudity Activist David Depape. Police have identified pro-nudity activist
David Depape as the suspect accused of attacking Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul with a hammer in the couple's San Francisco
home on Friday. [...] His wordpress blog is mostly just full of one word posts with zero content, the type of thing
someone with severe schizophrenia would post. They're "political" in the way someone who thinks they're being
"gangstalked" by the CIA is political. Nonetheless, Democrats and the media are of course politicizing the attack.
David Depape, Paul Pelosi Suspect.
[Scroll down] Joe Eskenazi, of Mission Local, tweeted, "My sources also name the suspect in this morning's hammer
attack on Paul Pelosi as David DePape, born 1980, of Berkeley. He would appear to be a former Castro nudist
protester. Things appear set to be bizarre for a while." The Castro is a well-known neighborhood in San
Francisco. The term in this context does not refer to the Cuban dictator. A 2013 article in the San
Francisco Chronicle mentions Depape, although his name is spelled wrong. It describes him as a "hemp jewelry
maker." That article reported that Depape was the best man at the naked wedding of a well-known pro-nudity activist
named Gypsy Taub. Linda Schneider, who has known Depape for years, told CNN that he once lived in a storage unit
and had done hard drugs.
Pelosi
attack just before midterms — I call this a political ploy! David DePape, 42, the man who
allegedly attacked Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's husband early Friday posted memes and conspiracy theories on
Facebook about Covid-19 vaccines, the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 attack. Most of the public posts on DePape's
Facebook page were from 2021. In earlier years, DePape also posted long screeds about religion, including claims
that "Jesus is the anti christ." None of the public posts appeared to mention Pelosi. No pictures of Paul Pelosi
showing damage or pictures of suspect? Hardly any details on how the suspect got into the house? This
happened right before the elections. Seems very fishy to me. I'm sure the MSM will hyper focus on this
incident to help the Democratic Party win the midterms.
Police
Release The Dispatch From Pelosi's Residence. [Scroll down] A dispatch official calls out during the
call to a police car with specific instructions and an address. "Copy," replied the person on the other end of the
call. The dispatch official then said that Pelosi informed 911 that he did not know who the attacker was but gave
his name and then explained that "he is a friend." Police audio of SFPD's 'welfare check' call about Paul Pelosi says
that he called "David" a "friend" who seemed "confused." Context: This was a Berkeley nudist in his underwear
struggling with another man in his underwear over a hammer at 2:30 am in San Francisco[.] That's really strange!
Now, he's saying the guy is a friend but then he's also saying he didn't know who he was?
Alleged
Pelosi intruder has manifesto of conspiracy theories: sources. The alleged home intruder who attacked
82-year-old Paul Pelosi early Friday holds anti-government conspiracy theories, according to sources. Sources told
KTVU that authorities found a manifesto belonging to 42-year-old David DePape that contained conspiracy theories and
anti-government COVID beliefs. He also allegedly had a list of other politicians he planned to target.
Pelosi
Assailant David Depape Was In His Underwear When Police Arrived — Yanked the Hammer from Paul
Pelosi. As reported earlier, according to sources close to the investigation, Paul Pelosi's attacker is
42-year-old Berkeley resident David Depape, The San Francisco Standard reported. San Francisco police chief
William Scott said Depape was booked on charges of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse,
burglary and "several additional felonies." Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi was violently attacked with a
hammer in his San Francisco home early Friday morning. Sources are telling many reporters that the attacker
allegedly was screaming "Where is Nancy!" when Paul Pelosi was confronted and attacked in the couple's San Francisco
home. Nancy Pelosi was in DC according to her office.
David
DePape ID'd as hammer-wielding intruder who attacked Paul Pelosi. The man who allegedly attacked Paul
Pelosi with a hammer has been named as David DePape by the San Francisco Police Department. The 42-year-old is
believed to have entered the Pelosi home through its rear and shouted, "Where's Nancy?," looking for the Democratic
speaker of the House, who was in Washington, DC, at the time. DePape is then said to have attempted to tie Paul
up, saying they were going to wait "until Nancy got home," according to CNN. San Francisco Police Chief William
"Bill" Scott said officers were dispatched to the Pelosi residence in the Pacific Heights neighborhood at 2:27 a.m.
Friday, where they encountered the suspect and Paul, who both appeared to be holding a hammer.
Intruder
breaks into Nancy Pelosi's home, attacks husband Paul with hammer. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband
was hospitalized Friday after an unknown assailant broke into the couple's San Francisco home and reportedly attacked
him with a hammer. Spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement that Paul Pelosi, 82, was "violently assaulted," but
was expected to make a full recovery. "The assailant is in custody and the motive for the attack is under
investigation," Hammill added.
The Editor says...
Ri-i-i-ight. I'd be a little more inclined to believe this story if I had never heard of Jussie Smollett, and if there wasn't an
election coming up in a couple of weeks, and if the Democrats hadn't been actively searching nationwide for a violent white
insurrectionist for the last few months, and if the FBI wasn't already
suspected of concoctingplots against politicians —
for the benefit of the politicians. Yes, San Francisco is infested with criminals, but doesn't the Speaker of the House have the tightest
residential security in town? Can anybody get by the federal agents and stroll into the Pelosi mansion?
Pelosi
Was Asked About Inflation While She's Wearing A 5k Custom Jacket. This week on "Face the Nation" with
just 15 days to go until Election Day they invited House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on
Sunday declined to say if she will remain in House leadership following next month's elections when pressed by CBS "Face
the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan. [...] "I'm not here to talk about me," Pelosi responded. "I'm here to talk about
the future. America's working families. For the children. It's always about the children." But
when she was questioned on Inflation her answer might have won the midterms for the GOP. She was wearing her 5k
custom-made jacket when she give her opinion on inflation!
Pelosi's
'Winning' Message To Voters: Quit Griping About Inflation. To all those suffering from skyrocketing
prices, struggling to make ends meet, going to food kitchens to feed their families, breaking the bank just to fill up
their tanks, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a message for you. Quit your griping and vote Democratic. That
is the "new and improved" messaging that Pelosi thinks will win over voters in November.
Nancy
Pelosi's Stock Disclosure Reveals a Surprising Outcome. U.S. lawmakers have been under the microscope
lately for trading stocks in companies where they or their staff members might have some inside knowledge. The
rules for buying and selling stocks were strengthened for Congress in 2012 by the Stop Trading on Congressional
Knowledge Act. Developing rules about Congress members trading stocks is an ongoing process. The Bipartisan
Ban on Congressional Stock Ownership Act of 2022 was introduced in February by Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and
Steve Daines (R-Mont.), as well as Representatives Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.). The
proposed legislation would cover members and their spouses. It grew out of anger over members of Congress trading
stocks at the start of the pandemic, before its seriousness had become public knowledge.
So
Pelosi Just Happened to Have a Film Crew In Her Office on January 6? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatened
to punch former President Trump on Jan. 6 2021, according to video obtained exclusively by CNN. [...] In the video,
Trump says, "We're going walk down to the Capitol" to protest election certification. An aide to Pelosi states
that she's learned the Secret Service has dissuaded Trump from appearing at the Capitol because of safety concerns.
"They told him they don't have the resources to protect him here," the aide says. "So at the moment, he is not
coming. But that could change." "I hope he comes," the Speaker says. "I want to punch him out." "Oh wow,
I would pay to see that," the aide says. "I've been waiting for this," Pelosi continues. "For trespassing on the
Capitol grounds. I'm gonna punch him out, and I'm gonna go to jail, and I'm gonna be happy." So a few
takeaways from this report: First of all it's a federal felony to threaten a president. And since she made the
threat on video[,] it should be a slam dunk case for the Justice Department. [...] And does anyone else find it strange
that Pelosi had a film crew in her office — on January 6? I've watched the video and it's all very
odd. As if the speaker is rehearsing bad dialogue from a Steven Segal action movie. As if the entire episode
was — oh what's the word I'm looking for — scripted.
An Epidemic
of Cognitive Impairment? [Scroll down] Speaker of House Nancy Pelosi is 82. At times she too
seems trapped in her own world disconnected from reality. Pelosi apparently recently mixed up Taiwan with mainland
Communist China, and thus exclaimed "China is one of the freest societies in the world." She stood up and
weirdly rubbed her clenched fists together when Joe Biden in his state of the union darkly mentioned the dangers of
soldiers inhaling toxic fumes from burn pits. Of course, after one of Trump's SOTU addresses, Pelosi proceeded
indignantly to tear up her copy of the speech on national television. More recently, Pelosi defended open borders
and the vast influxes of illegal aliens by crassly claiming "We need migrants to pick crops."
The
Stock Market Made Nancy Pelosi Rich. Now, She Wants To Ban Her Colleagues From Trading. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has seen her net worth increase by $140 million since the 2008 financial crisis thanks
in no small part to her husband's fortuitous trades in companies she has worked to subsidize. Now, she's trying to
pull up the ladder behind her: In what may be her final months as a member of Congress, she's backing a proposal that
would prohibit her colleagues from buying or selling individual stocks. [...] Pelosi has been dogged by allegations that
her husband, Paul Pelosi, trades stocks on inside information gleaned from her position in Congress. In March,
Paul Pelosi exercised options to buy up to $5 million worth of Tesla stock as the speaker pushed for electric vehicle
subsidies, the Washington Free Beacon reported. And in June, Paul Pelosi exercised call options to buy up
to $5 million in the graphics card manufacturer Nvidia just weeks before the House considered a bill to provide more
than $50 billion in subsidies to domestic semiconductor manufacturers.
Despite
Biden declaring the pandemic over, Pelosi extends proxy voting. Much like Dr. Anthony Fauci has
repeatedly tried to sell that attacks on him are attacks on The Science™, Democrats have conveyed that doing the
people's work and their staying in power are synonymous. As such, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stood in
solidarity with yet another reversal of President Joe Biden's remarks by the White House communications team and as a
champion of never-ending emergencies when she declared a continuation of unconstitutional proxy voting. Following
the initial party-line vote in May 2020 where Democrats adopted the rule allowing any representative to vote for up to
10 fellow congressmen who granted such proxy, Pelosi has continued to extend the measure that even at its inception was
out of sync with how the rest of the country was responding to COVID.
NASDAQ
Nancy holds up bills on congressional trading while the insider rot spreads. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
hemmed and hawed again last week about the House plan to rein in sketchy trades by members of Congress and their
families, making empty noises about getting it done in the wake of a brutal New York Times report ID'ing almost 100
members — nearly 20%! — who reported trades in apparent conflict with their duties as overseers of
laws and regulations around American industry in 2019-'21. She's plainly stalling, and for obvious reasons:
Pelosi's a byword for such trades with her husband — financier Paul Pelosi — making moves that
regularly beat the market, often in sectors highly vulnerable to legislation the speaker can advance or kill.
Indeed, she's long blocked real action on this problem, saying she's open to considering the various bills now
proposed in the House but doing nothing.
Pelosi
seeks ambassadorship to Italy if GOP wins House majority in midterms. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is
planning her next move after an expected Republican victory in November. Sources tell FOX Business that Pelosi
wants President Biden to nominate her to become the next U.S. ambassador to Italy if the GOP takes the House majority in
the midterm elections. Biden is holding the spot for the speaker, sources say, which is one reason he has yet to
fill the position since taking office. Speculation earlier this year that a Pelosi ally and former Wall Street
executive wanted the job has shifted with the increasing likelihood that the GOP takes the majority. There was no
clarity yet on how a new Senate will react to a Pelosi nomination, but there was a mixed reaction to her in the role
from sources this week.
The Editor says...
Somehow retirement or unemployment do not appear to be options for the 82-year-old Speaker.
Remember when Pelosi sold
25,000 shares of $NVDA back in July? [Thread reader] Well $NVDA was just told by
the US Government to Restrict chip sales in China & Russia[.] $NVDA is currently down -6% in

Pelosi
Says It Is 'Sinful' To Restrict Abortion. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
repeatedly said abortion restrictions are "sinful," standing in direct contradiction to her
Catholic faith. Pelosi made the comments during an Aug. 26 Roundtable on Women's Reproductive
Health at the University of California, San Francisco. She also called abortion restrictions
an "assault" on women, women of color and low-income families, according to a transcript of the
roundtable. "But one word that pervade [sic] through all of the discussion was the word
'justice.' The fact that this is such an assault on women of color and women — lower
income families is just sinful. It's sinful," California Democrat said. "It's wrong that they
would be able to say to women what they think women should be doing with their lives and their
bodies. But it's sinful, the injustice of it all." She said restricting abortion
disregards the health of the woman and impacts the children she already has. Pelosi then
accused Republicans of putting democracy on the line through their efforts to restrict abortion.
Paul
Pelosi pleads guilty to DUI, gets five days in jail. Paul Pelosi, the husband of
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to driving under the influence causing
injuries in Napa County. According to the District Attorney's Office, Pelosi, 81, will be
required to serve five days in jail, though he already served two days and received conduct credit
for two other days. Napa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Solga said Pelosi will work eight
hours in the court's work program in lieu of the remaining day.

Drunk
Driver Paul Pelosi [has been] Sentenced To A Slap On His Pampered Wrist. On May 28th,
when Nancy Pelosi was in DC, [...] Paul Pelosi was barreling down a country road, drunk. Paul
ran his brand new Porsche through a stop sign and blasted into a 2014 Jeep. The accident
wrecked both vehicles. [...] There was an effort to cover up or make it "go away" because he's a
Pelosi, and rich. Paul's pals in government tried but failed to make it a non-event.
The local DA stonewalled the media. Pelosi deployed a PR firm to make it go away.
Mugshots that are typically available immediately were nowhere to be found. Government
toadies who were beholding to Pelosi and his "Do you know who I am?" type of attitude and money
were trying as late as two weeks after Pelosi nearly killed someone, to make it go away. When
the heat was too hot, the DA finally acted (kinda) like a prosecutor and charged Paul Pelosi with
two misdemeanors. Again, Pelosi wrecked two vehicles and came within an eyelash of killing
the other driver. He should have been arraigned on felony DUI charges. He also likely
had more than alcohol in his system. But he's Paul Pelosi, and rich.

Pelosi-Linked Business Has Millions in PPP Loans Forgiven. The Paycheck Protection
Program created to help small businesses survive the pandemic by doling out loans to help them
retain employees has been a bonanza for companies linked to the rich and famous, according to new
reports. The website ProPublica has amassed a searchable database of the loans, which media
outlets have been exploring to find out how many rich recipients will never have to pay back a
dime. The trick is to know the corporate names of businesses in which the rich and famous
either operate or have a share in. Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
has an 8.1 percent share in a company called EDI Associates, according to the U.K. Daily
Mail. The restaurant company received loans of more than $1.7 million from the federal
government, which won't have to be repaid, the Daily Mail reported.
The
FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home highlights the alarming double standard that gives Dems a pass. "We believe
in the rule of law. That's what our country is about, and no person is above the law," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told
"Today" show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie during a TV interview Tuesday [8/9/2022] in an attempt to justify the unprecedented
FBI raid of former President Donald Trump's Palm Beach home. If that's the case — that we're all "equal"
under the law, as Pelosi says — what penalties will her husband, Paul Pelosi, face for allegedly drunk
driving? In May, the speaker's husband was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Napa Valley.
"The DUI report alleges that Pelosi's eyes were 'red/watery' and he was 'unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he
had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath,'" Newsweek reported. "His blood alcohol level was
0.082." It's illegal to drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or above in California, where the penalty for a first
offense drunk-driving conviction could be six months in prison in addition to fines. If Paul Pelosi skates, or gets a
wrist-slap, then her phony musings about equal justice ring hollow.
Nancy
Pelosi's son — who secretly joined mom on her controversial trip to Taiwan — is a top investor in Chinese telecoms
company. Nancy Pelosi's son is the second largest investor in a $22 million Chinese company whose senior
executive was arrested in a fraud investigation, DailyMail.com can reveal, raising questions about his secretive visit to
Taiwan with his mother. As well as investing, Paul Pelosi Jr, 53, also worked for the telecoms company, Borqs Technologies,
in a board or consultancy role, Securities and Exchange Commission documents show. He was awarded 700,000 shares for his
services, making him the fifth largest shareholder in the company. After other insiders sold stock in June 2021 he
became the second largest — more stock than one of its two co-founders and topped only by CEO Pat Sek Yuen Chan.
'Surprised'
Pelosi grins from ear to ear as she repeatedly denies she had knowledge of FBI raid. News of an FBI raid on
former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate shocked the nation, but Democrats appear to be happier than a pig in mud,
especially House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who was all smiles while discussing the matter on MSNBC. On Tuesday
morning [8/9/2022], Pelosi took to "Morning Joe" to zing the former president and reiterate that she had no prior knowledge
about the raid. She actually emphasized this point several times, while grinning like she'd just won the lottery.
While she was initially going on the program to discuss her controversial trip to Taiwan, which critics say is responsible
for ratcheting up tensions with China, co-host Mika Brzezinski couldn't resist letting the speaker gloat about the Trump raid.

Pelosis 'Appear To Have Taken Advantage Of Inside Information,' Says Former Fed Chair. Nancy Pelosi and her
husband Paul "appear to have taken advantage of inside information" in connection with stock trades, a former Federal Reserve
Bank president said Thursday. "Clearly people have taken advantage of inside information forever," said Richard
Fischer, who chaired the Federal Reserve of Dallas between 2005 and 2015, on CNBC's "Squawk Box." "I'm sorry to see that Paul

Report:
Police Group May Revoke Paul Pelosi's Membership After DUI Arrest. California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation
may revoke the membership of Paul Pelosi — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband — after he reportedly
violated its policy during his May DUI arrest by flashing his membership card. During his arrest — where
reports showed he had slurred speech plus red and watery eyes — Pelosi allegedly handed officers his driver's
license and an "11-99 Foundation" card when he was asked for identification, prompting the law enforcement association to
investigate, Fox News reported.

Napa
Prosecutors Walk Back 'Boilerplate' Drug Allegation on Paul Pelosi. Prosecutors in Napa County, California,
have walked back what they call a "boilerplate" drug allegation in the DUI complaint against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
husband, Paul Pelosi. As Breitbart News reported on Tuesday, Napa prosecutors released the criminal complaint against
Paul Pelosi in which it stated he had injured a driver "while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and a drug and
under their combined influence." On Wednesday, the prosecutors clarified that the word "drug" was simply boilerplate
language. "I believe that the drug reference is part of the statutory boilerplate language in the complaint," Pelosi's
attorney Amanda Bevins told Fox News. The "boilerplate" assertion was confirmed by the Napa County District Attorney's
Office office on Wednesday [8/3/2022]. "She is correct. It is boilerplate language auto-generated in the
complaint. Our theory is alcohol," Assistant District Attorney Paul Gero confirmed to the outlet.
The Editor says...
The phrase "under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and a drug and under their combined influence" is quite clear, and
specifically the words and and combined leave no doubt that both alcohol and some other drug were
involved. If the complaint is faulty, throw it out, but this new "walk back" smells like gaslighting.
Stop
'Simping' for Pelosi over Taiwan. 'You're getting played.' On the latest episode of Human Events Daily, host

plainly, warning conservatives against getting "played" by Pelosi. "You've got all these people out there, these...
'America First' people simping for Nancy Pelosi... It's about semiconductors." [Tweet]

Pelosi allegedly had drugs in system during DUI crash. Shocking revelations surrounding House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's husband were brought to light on Tuesday [8/2/2022] when court documents revealed that Paul Pelosi allegedly had a
drug in his system when he was arrested on DUI charges in May. Further allegations state that Paul Pelosi slurred his
speech and tried to hand officers a police courtesy card, Fox News reports.
Turns
out Paul Pelosi wasn't just drunk the night he got arrested. It turns out that Nancy's husband wasn't just
drunk the night he got arrested after crashing his 2021 Porsche into a Jeep. According to a court document, Pelosi had
a drug in his system along with the alcohol: [...] Now that drug could have been a prescription drug or it could have been
something more illegal. Hard to say the way it's written, but it kinda sounds like the latter. Whatever the case,
we know he wasn't just drunk.
New
Details on Paul Pelosi Arrest Reveal He Allegedly Had More Than Just Alcohol in His System. More information is
now being revealed on the condition Paul Pelosi was in on the night he hit another car with his 2021 Porsche and was
arrested. The California Highway Patrol report is out. It reveals more on the condition that Paul Pelosi was in,
as well as more about the injury to the driver of the other car.
The
Four Mysteries of Pelosi's Troublesome Taiwan Trip. [Scroll down] So here's the first part of the
mystery. Why did the Pentagon take three months to figure out that a trip by the House speaker to Taiwan was "not a
good idea"? It's not as if relations between the US and China took a turn for the worse only a week ago. Taiwan has
been the key flashpoint of Cold War II — Berlin plus Cuba plus the Persian Gulf — since the
Sino-American relationship decisively soured over four years ago. As I argued here in March last year, bringing Taiwan
under the control of Beijing has been the consistent objective of the Chinese Communist Party for decades. Foreign
Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian is a noted exponent of the new "wolf warrior" diplomacy. But there was nothing novel
about his warning that Pelosi's visit would pose a threat to Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity and that China
would have to respond with "strong and resolute measures."

Slurring, Confusion, and Cluelessness Reach Scary New Heights During A Press Conference. The evidence is
building that President Joe Biden isn't the only Democrat Americans should be worried about when it comes to how things are
working upstairs. When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took to the podium on Thursday for her weekly news conference, she
launched into a stream of incoherence that would have rivaled Biden on his worst day. And it couldn't have built much
confidence in the nation's top leadership.
Former
Dallas Fed Chair Says Pelosi "Appears to Have Taken Advantage" of Insider Information. The Pelosis have done
very well playing the market and Americans for fools. Paul Pelosi, husband to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, sold
all of his NVIDIA stock just one day before Congress was set to vote on a bill that would boost domestic production of
semiconductors. Paul Pelosi, bought up to $5 million in stock options in a computer-chip company back in June.
Paul Pelosi bought anywhere between $1 to $5 million in Nvidia stock options. On Tuesday, Mr. Pelosi dumped all
of his NVIDIA stock and suffered a loss of $341,365, according to Insider.
Five
times House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to answer for Paul Pelosi's stock trades. Paul Pelosi's lucrative purchase
of stock in a semiconductor company just before Congress considered providing subsidies to the industry has provided weeks of
negative headlines for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — and it isn't the first time her husband's investments have
caused headaches for his powerful wife. A number of other transactions executed by Paul Pelosi have raised eyebrows
over the years for intersecting uncomfortably with the work Nancy Pelosi has pursued in the House. [...] Paul Pelosi's
investing portfolio outperforms the market, and his picks have gained such a reputation for generating success that traders
can now follow his investments on an app if they wish to mimic his stock purchases.
Ex-Democrat
Rep Blows Whistle on Pelosi, Says She Witnessed Speaker's 'Blatant Corruption'. Former Democrat Rep. Tulsi
Gabbard (D-HI) has blown the whistle on Nancy Pelosi by revealing that she witnessed the House speaker's "blatant
corruption." Gabbard, a Democratic 2020 presidential candidate, dropped the hammer on Nancy and Paul Pelosi's stock
trading during an appearence on Fox News's "Jesse Watters Primetime." Gabbard told host Jesse Watters thar she witnessed
the "corruption" firsthand "when I was in Congress." In a follow-up post on Twitter, Gabbard also accused the Pelosis of
"putting the American people in danger and undermining our actual national security interests for their own profit."
Nancy
Pelosi Flees The Podium After Being Asked About Her Husband's Stock Trades. Nancy Pelosi fled her weekly press
conference Thursday [7/21/2022] after being asked whether her husband Paul has ever traded stocks based on information the
house speaker has relayed to him. "No absolutely not," Pelosi said in response to a reporter who asked if her "husband
ever made a stock purchase or sale based on information received from you." The speaker's comments come on the heels of
the Daily Caller News Foundation first reporting on a financial disclosure showing Paul Pelosi purchased up to $5 million
worth in stock of a computer chips company before a vote on legislation that would hand billions to semiconductor manufacturers.
Paul
Pelosi $1M chip company stock purchase [is the] latest in [a] long history of 'timely' buys. Paul Pelosi, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, purchased between $1 million and $5 million of stock in a semiconductor company ahead of
an upcoming vote on legislation containing $52 billion for chipmakers — the latest in a long history of similar
purchases. A Data for Progress poll found that 70% of respondents support a ban on lawmakers trading individual stocks
and 68% agree with extending the ban to their spouses. Pelosi's husband made headlines when he purchased a substantial
amount of tech stock last year under his wife's speakership. Pelosi made millions on "timely" bets with Big Tech stock
buys in advance of an antitrust bill that was moving through the House, according to a Fortune report from July 2021.

Pelosi Responds After Husband's Recent Stock Purchases. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) office
responded to criticism about her husband's purchase of semiconductor stocks ahead of Congress's vote targeting the industry.
"The Speaker does not own any stocks. As you can see from the required disclosures, with which the Speaker fully cooperates,
these transactions are marked 'SP' for Spouse. The Speaker has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any
transactions," Pelosi's spokesman, Drew Hammill, told news outlets on Monday [7/18/2022]. Hammill added that there
are "at least three proposals introduced in the House" regarding whether Pelosi supports proposals to bar trading by members
of Congress. "The Speaker has asked the Committee on House Administration to review these proposals," he said.

Pelosi's Husband Buys Millions In Chip Stocks Right Before Vote On Massive Chip Subsidy. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's husband Paul bought up to $5 million in stock of a computer chip company ahead of a vote on a bill next week that
would hand billions in subsidies to boost chip manufacturing, a financial disclosure shows. Paul Pelosi purchased
20,000 shares of Nvidia, one of the world's largest semiconductor companies, on June 17, according to the speaker's
disclosure report released Thursday. Now, senators will convene as early as Tuesday to vote on a bipartisan competition
bill, which allocates $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and gives tax credits for production, Reuters
reported Thursday [7/14/2022]. "It certainly raises the specter that Paul Pelosi could have access to some insider
legislative information," Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist for the left-wing think tank Public Citizen, told the
Daily Caller News Foundation.
Catholic
League Blasts Nancy Pelosi's 'Communion Stunt' at the Vatican. Catholic League president Bill Donohue slammed
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Wednesday for politicizing the Eucharist by receiving Communion at the Vatican.
Pelosi, "who rejects the Catholic Church's teachings on abortion, marriage and sexuality, received Holy Communion on June 29
at a papal Mass in St. Peter's Basilica," Dr. Donohue noted. "The pope was in attendance, but did not give
out Communion."
The Editor says...
Nancy Pelosi appears to be using communion as a political weapon, and as stunt to puff up her own status.
One of these days, whether it's ten years from now or a thousand, Nancy is going to have to explain herself.
The
Democrats' lies on abortion since SCOTUS' overruling of Roe v. Wade. Lie 1: Biden and Pelosi are 'devout
Catholics.' "Women caring for their health" is the president's euphemism for abortion. It was a "sad day" and "a
tragic error," said Biden, when the Supreme Court returned the issue to the voters and their elected state representatives to
decide. He vowed to "do everything in my power" to preserve abortion. Pelosi called the decision "outrageous" and
"criminalizing reproductive freedom," another euphemism which tries to hide the death element of abortion. Like Biden,
her unequivocal support for abortion is wildly at odds with Catholic teaching and her ostentatious religiosity. "I'm
very Catholic, devout, practicing," she has declared. But San Francisco's Catholic archbishop, Salvatore J.
Cordileone, last month rebuked Pelosi over her vocal support for abortion, and declared she would be denied Communion.
Nancy
Pelosi Calls Supreme Court 'Extremist' for Scrapping Roe Decision in Scathing Letter to Colleagues. Speaker of
the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed the Supreme Court for overruling Roe v Wade, which send the
abortion issue back to the states, in a letter to her Democratic colleagues on Monday [6/27/2022]. [...] For starters, it's
unlikely that legislation on abortion would make it to President Joe Biden's desk, especially because the Senate filibuster
is not going anywhere. The WHPA failed in the Senate back in May, as it did not hit the 60 votes necessary to codify
nationwide access to abortion, NPR reported. Pelosi's letter comes across as a denial of reality for political
purposes, with the objective being to give her party's base false hope.

Flores Says Yes, Nancy Pelosi Shoved Her Child During Photo-Op. When I first saw the video of House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appearing to shove the little daughter of Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) with her elbow during a photo-op
for her swearing-in, I thought perhaps it was a manipulated video or maybe the angles weren't clear. But then I saw a
video taken from C-Span that seemed to show the same thing. [Video clip] As we reported, Nancy looks at her,
moves her elbow, and the child moves to her right. Now Mayra Flores herself is confirming it.

Pelosi disdainfully elbows away Rep. Mayra Flores's pinnafore-clad Mexican-American daughters. Democrats
for years have been promoting the notion that Republicans are congenitally racist, regulur Bull Connors. [...] It might sound
like an old stereotype... But then there's Nancy Pelosi, Democrat Speaker of the House, who demonstrated Friday who the
racists are. The occasion was the congressional swearing in of newly elected Texas Rep. Mayra Flores, who brought
her two adorable daughters with her, both wearing little white dresses, the one standing next to Pelosi actually wearing a
pinnafore. Somehow, Pelosi didn't think they were cute — not in the least — the way some white
leftists fall all over themselves do, cooing at children of a different skin color. Pelosi reacted this way:

Reveals The Real Nancy Pelosi As She Elbows A Little Girl While Her Conservative Latina Mother Is Being Sworn In.
[Scroll down past the Tweets] The mainstream media was busy getting these old Tweets from several years ago however they
weren't interested in showing a video where Nancy Pelosi elbows one of Rep. Mayra Flores children as she was being sworn in
with her family present. Nancy is clearly upset that a woman, who was born in Mexico, became a USA citizen the legal way,
and was voted into office by the people.

Friday [6/24/2022] slammed the Supreme Court decision striking down Roe v. Wade, arguing that the justices are
"eviscerating American rights." Pelosi — in remarks at her weekly press conference, which took place minutes
after the decision was released — said the ruling is an "insult" and "a slap in the face to women." "This
morning, the radical Supreme Court is eviscerating American rights and endangering their health and safety," Pelosi said.
Pelosi
Readies New Articles of Impeachment Against Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Frisco, is readying new
articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, Issues & Insights has learned. "Sixteen months is too long to
go between Trump impeachments," she told her Democratic caucus in a secret meeting secretly recorded by I&I
investigators. She said that despite her previous claim that Trump had been "impeached forever," she now believes that
the effectiveness of a Trump impeachment is only about as long-lasting as a COVID vaccine. She noted that the House had
waited until 13 months between the first and second impeachment efforts, only to have both fail. "We should have
started on this impeachment business before Trump was even sworn in," she said. The meeting came as the televised
hearings about the Jan. 6 incursion into the Capitol building are put on pause. Viewership of the televised hearings
has plunged to the point that reruns of "F Troop" are now beating them in the ratings.

Don't say anything bad about "F Troop." Who doesn't like Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch?

Pelosi's husband Paul, 82, is officially charged with DUI after blowing a stop sign and hitting a Jeep. Nancy
Pelosi's husband Paul has been charged with DUI by prosecutors in Napa County after a crash last month. Fox News
reported he was being charged after his blood alcohol level was recorded at 0.082 percent -- the limit is 0.08. Paul,
82, had been at a dinner party hosted by a friend on May 28 and was driving a short distance home when he crashed, it
emerged. He was driving his Porsche and pulled out onto the highway into the path of an 48-year-old man driving a Jeep
in Napa. Photos from the scene showed that the vehicles crashed into a wooden fence.
The Editor says...
Why does a man with that much liability not have a professional driver?
New
York Times spotlights Pelosi's lavish California living, husband's troubled driving history. Following the
drunk driving arrest of Nancy Pelosi's husband, a Wednesday New York Times piece exposed new details about the Democratic
House Speaker's lavish lifestyle, as well as her husband's troubled driving record. On May 28, Paul Pelosi drove a
small distance in his Porsche 911 from the swanky California estate of friend and Democratic donor Alexander Mehran to his
home in Napa Valley. Soon after departing, a Jeep slammed into his vehicle as he attempted to cross the highway.
He was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, and will head to court on August 3. The Times called the incident "not
especially flattering," but noted Mr. Pelosi's recent cataract surgery may have also impaired his driving, in addition
to the alcohol.
Investigators:
Pelosi Responsible For Jan. 6 Security Breakdown At U.S. Capitol. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi shoulders
much of the blame for the security breakdown at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a preliminary report from Republican
investigators Reps. Jim Banks and Rodney Davis determined. The Capitol Police (USCP) were half-staffed on Jan. 6,
Pelosi's House Sergeant at Arms denied multiple requests for National Guard assistance from the Pentagon and the USCP Chief
in the days leading up to Jan. 6, officers were poorly equipped and had insufficient riot shields and helmets, and they were
never trained to handle a riot even after the riots of 2020, the investigation shows, according to Banks.
The
Question Nobody's Asking: Why Would Pelosi Welcome an Attack on the Capitol on January 6? This question
has plagued me for some time. Snippets of information are coming out like the peel off of an onion. Here is my
analysis of how these snippets indicate a diabolical plot. What was happening on this fateful day? Trump was
addressing a hundred thousand plus supporters who knew the election had been stolen by fraud. Like me, they had
witnessed it first-hand. I saw too many ballots come to my home. I heard a friend, a Democrat, confess to voting
multiple times. I heard Bill Hemmer exclaim in disbelief on election night, They are stopping the counting! He
also said, "How can it be?" when he saw vote totals changing in impossible ways. Trump knew the counting of the
electoral college was taking place right after his speech ended. He knew that something unprecedented was going to take
place. A few brave senators were going to object to certain swing states where the fraud was rampant. At noon at
the Capitol, the senate convened to count the electoral votes and determine the next President of the United States. If
you recall, Arizona had been called by Pence, and a brave senator stood up to object to counting Arizona's electors.
They needed two to object. They had two. I believe one was Ted Cruz. Afterward, he was accused of treason.

Pelosi makes repeat appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race: This 'is what America is all about'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made a guest appearance on "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" this week where she told the drag queens
they "inspired" her. "My honor to be here to say to all of you, how proud we all are of you. Thank you for the
joy and beauty you bring to the world," Pelosi said as she stood clad in a bright yellow pants suit on episode 5 this
week. "Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what America is all about," Pelosi told the contestants in
what appeared to be a completely scripted exchange. "I say that all the time to my friends in drag," she added.
Pelosi's
Court: How the Jan. 6 committee undermined its own legitimacy. Congress has a long history of bipartisan
investigatory and select committees. [...] Pelosi's decision to gut that process was something of a signature muscle
play. As a witness in the first Trump impeachment, I was highly critical of her insistence that the House would impeach
before Christmas rather than conduct the traditional impeachment investigation with witnesses. Instead of building a
more convincing case, Pelosi preferred to impeach with virtually no record, for a certain defeat in the Senate. In the
second impeachment, she went one better: She held no hearing at all and pushed through the first "snap impeachment."
The Jan. 6 committee was similarly stripped of any pretense. It was as subtle a political move as Pelosi's ripping up
President Trump's State of the Union speech. Asked what she hoped to achieve from the committee on the first day of
hearings, Pelosi tellingly referred to it as a "narrative." It is the difference between seeing and simulating justice.
Nancy
Pelosi guest stars on drag queen TV show. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday she'll appear on an
episode of a popular drag queen show. Mrs. Pelosi, a California Democrat who represents San Francisco, will make
"a special Pride Month appearance" on episode five of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7," aides said Friday. The show is
described as "a group of talented drag queens who compete in challenges to impress host RuPaul, the world's most famous drag
queen, to win a cash prize along with a crown and the title of America's Next Drag Superstar."
Financial disclosures reveal
Nancy Pelosi's embattled husband bought up to $2.1 Million in stocks, some very recently. One of the recent financial
disclosures filed by an influential Democratic lawmaker revealed that Nancy Pelosi's husband purchased up to $600,000 in
Microsoft and up to $1.5 million in Apple stock. According to the transaction report filed on the House of
Representatives' official website, Nancy's husband, Paul Pelosi, acquired Apple call options for between $500,001 and
$1 million back in May. A call option, sometimes known as a "call," is a financial contract that allows the buyer to buy
the stock at a certain price. The document revealed that Pelosi bought more Apple call stock worth between $250,001 and
$500,000 eleven days after the initial purchase.
New
Questions About Charges, Mugshot, Body Cam in Arrest of Paul Pelosi. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul
Pelosi, was arrested on May 29 for allegedly driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level of over 0.08.
He was driving a 2021 Porsche and was involved in a crash with another vehicle before he was arrested. According to
the police reports, the accident happened at 10:26 p.m.; Pelosi was arrested around 11:44 p.m., but then he wasn't booked
until 4:13 a.m. It's not been explained why there's such a long time in between the arrest and the booking time.
He was then released around three hours later. There continue to be a lot of questions about the case. One of the
big questions is where is that mugshot that we have traditionally seen after someone is arrested? How about the body
cam? Why haven't we seen them yet? Multiple media outlets have made requests. But authorities are refusing
to release them, saying they could "jeopardize" the investigation.
Cops
refuse to release body cam footage of Paul Pelosi's DUI arrest. Authorities in California have refused to
release any footage showing the DUI arrest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, saying it could "jeopardize" the
investigation. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) on Thursday denied a public records request seeking the release of
body and dashboard camera video documenting Paul Pelosi's arrest last month on suspicion of drunk driving. CHP informed
Fox News Digital in a letter that it has the footage in question, "however, the Napa County District Attorney's Office has
advised the release of records would jeopardize an ongoing investigation." In a separate press release Thursday, the
DA's Office said that it has not decided yet what, if any, charges, will be filed against the 82-year-old businessman.

If I were looking for intelligence or security, I sure wouldn't go to Nancy Pelosi. Internal
Capitol Police review found sweeping intelligence, security failures on Pelosi's watch. Capitol Police compiled
a secret after-action review months after the Jan. 6 riots that identified sweeping blunders by the department ranging from
delayed deployment of specialized civil disturbance units to the fateful dismantling of an intelligence unit that monitored social
media for threats. Identifying 53 areas of failure needing corrective action, the June 4, 2021 report, obtained
by Just the News, produces a far more stark portrait of leadership failures than those offered by Democrat-led investigations,
making abundantly clear that the Capitol Police under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were ill-equipped to defend one of America's
most symbolic and high-value institutions two decades after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi discloses up to $1.5 million in Apple trades and up to $600,000 in Microsoft. House

report signed last Friday and appearing on the House of Representatives' website on Monday, the California Democrat disclosed that
her husband, financier Paul Pelosi, on May 13 bought Apple call options for between $500,001 and $1 million. On
May 24, he bought more Apple call options, in an amount between $250,001 and $500,000, the disclosure shows.

That's brilliant! If you don't want to get shot, just wear orange. Unfortunately, guns are colorblind, and
they're really mean! We hear about "gun violence" in the news every day.

'Weird Developments' in the Paul Pelosi Arrest Story. As we previously reported, Paul Pelosi, the venture
capitalist husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), was arrested on Saturday and charged with two misdemeanors: driving
while under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol of 0.08 or more. But "weird developments" seem to keep
happening in this case, in the words of SF Gate. Now, a Pelosi spokesperson, Larry Kamer, is pushing back, issuing a
statement saying several reports about the case have included "incorrect information." "A prior driving offense
erroneously attributed to Mr. Pelosi is untrue and likely refers to an unrelated person with the same name. This
error must be corrected," the spokesperson for Pelosi said in the statement. "There are also incorrect reports that
misstate the timing of events." The statement did not clarify what things were supposedly inaccurate or what the "timing
of events" refers to. [...] However, NBC Bay Area had reported that Pelosi had a prior DUI in 2018, according to
SFGate. But they stealth edited that out of their story.
New
Details Emerge From Incident That Led To The Arrest Of Nancy Pelosi's Husband. The arrest of House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, followed a late-night car crash, according to police. Paul Pelosi, 82, was charged with
driving under the influence on Sunday morning [5/29/2022]. At the time, the speaker's husband was "driving a 2021
Porsche into an intersection near the town of Yountville and was hit by a 2014 Jeep," the Associated Press reported.
"No injuries were reported, and the 48-year-old driver of the Jeep was not arrested." Paul and Nancy Pelosi own an
estate in Napa Valley on Zinfandel Lane, which is valued at well north of $5,000,000, that has a vineyard that nets the
couple $5,000 to $15,000 in grape sales per year. Nancy Pelosi was in Rhode Island on Sunday giving a commencement
speech at Brown University.
Nancy
Pelosi's Drunk Husband Paul Caused an Accident Prior To DUI Arrest. Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul was driving his
Porsche drunk after leaving a Napa Valley Winery Saturday when he pulled out onto a highway into the path of a 48-year-old
man driving a Jeep. On Saturday, Paul Pelosi, 82, was arrested for driving while drunk. DailyMail.com said it
obtained his arrest report, revealing he was driving eastbound on Walnut Lane, six miles south of the Pelosi's vineyard in St
Helena. According to the report, Pelosi pulled out onto S-29 to cross it, ignoring a stop sign, and was struck by Jesus V.
Lopez, who was driving a 2014 Jeep. Lopez was reportedly traveling northbound on the state road. At the scene of the
accident, Pelosi was found to have been over the legal blood alcohol limit. He was arrested on two misdemeanor counts of
driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher.
More
Shoes Drop in the Paul Pelosi Arrest Story. As we've already reported, Pelosi, 82, the husband of House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), was arrested on Saturday night [5/28/2022] shortly before midnight, at 11:44 PM, when he had an accident
with another car. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but Pelosi was then charged with two misdemeanors: driving
under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level at or above 0.08. For some reason that hasn't been fully
explained yet, it took law enforcement officers more than four hours to book him after he was arrested. He wasn't
booked until 4:13 a.m. [...] And if he was still blowing more than 0.08 after that time, what was he like at the time of the
crash? He was released about three hours after he was booked on $5000 bail. But now there's more information on
the accident. Pelosi was allegedly driving drunk when he piloted a 2021 Porsche through a stop sign while crossing
State Route 29 and drove right into the path of an oncoming car driven by Jesus Lopez, 48, at about 10:26 p.m. So
based on the report, Pelosi allegedly caused the crash. Notice he wasn't driving an electric vehicle, but a nice gas-guzzling
new Porsche.
Pelosi's
husband arrested for DUI. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi, was arrested late Saturday
night for driving under the influence. Paul Pelosi, 82, was booked in Napa County, California, on two counts: one for
driving under the influence and another for driving with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher, according to a
local booking record.
It's difficult to imagine how this can be swept under the rug, but it will be. Nancy
Pelosi's Husband Paul Arrested For DUI in Napa. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband was arrested for a DUI
Saturday night in Napa County. Paul Pelosi, 82, was arrested and booked into jail on two counts just before midnight on
Saturday night, TMZ reported. It is unclear if Nancy Pelosi was in the car when her husband was arrested. Nancy
Pelosi is currently in Rhode Island to deliver a commencement speech at Brown University.
The Catholic church has to apply the same rules to everyone. Three
More Bishops Bar Pelosi From Receiving Holy Communion Due to Support of Abortion. Three more Catholic Bishops
barred House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion due to her support of abortion. This means Pelosi is
banned from Communion in at least four diocese. It all started when San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone
last Friday announced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will no longer be admitted to Holy Communion due to her support of abortion.
Pray
for Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi is in serious trouble. And not the kind of trouble associated with such petty,
earthly concerns like her party losing its majority in a humiliating and historic fashion this coming November. And
with that loss, her loss of the speakership for the second time in a dozen years. No, Nancy Pelosi has some serious
trouble with the disposition of her soul. And she needs our prayers, even if she doesn't believe it herself. [...]
Nancy Pelosi is 80-years-old. Her time to repent is running out. She is on the wrong side of American history on
this issue and, more importantly, on the wrong side of salvation.
Nancy
Pelosi Goes on 'Morning Joe' to Show How Little She Knows About Being Catholic. The conflict between
grotesquely dishonest Democrat politicians who claim to be "devout Catholics" to win what remains of the ethnic Catholic vote
and the teachings of the Catholic Church (Roman, Orthodox, and all other permutations) may be coming to a head. One of
the two major offenders on the national scene is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The other is Joe Biden, but no one
believes Joe Biden knows what he's saying, so it doesn't matter. Pelosi makes much of her family's Roman Catholic faith
intertwined with its Italian heritage. [...] Nancy Pelosi's problem is that she's never been more than a "smells and bells"
Catholic or a "submarine" Catholic (you know, they surface at Christmas and Easter). Her Catholicism is at most a cultural
artifact and, at its worst, a grift. Her support of abortion and the blasphemy that is the LGBTQ-whatever-whatever
agenda shows that she sees religion as a political shield from criticism. After all these years, she has been called
out on her deceit, and she is dumbfounded.
Over
a Dozen U.S. Bishops Rush to Support SF Archbishop Blocking Nancy Pelosi from Communion. A flurry of U.S.
bishops have rallied behind San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, who has barred Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy
Communion because of her aggressive abortion advocacy. As of May 23, at least 13 U.S. bishops have made public
statements praising and thanking Archbishop Cordileone for the move, which was variously described as "courageous," "heroic,"
and "compassionate."
Nancy
Pelosi slams San Francisco Archbishop for banning her from communion over abortion. House speaker Nancy Pelosi
questioned whether Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone was holding a double standard for banning her from Communion for her
position on abortion while keeping quiet about Republicans who support the death penalty. 'I wonder about the death
penalty, which I am opposed to. So is the church but they take no action against people who may not share their view,'
the California Democrat said Tuesday on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Cordileone said that the speaker was not to present herself
for the Eucharist in his San Francisco archdiocese because her abortion views have become 'more extreme' and 'more aggressive.'
Pelosi Receives
Communion Despite Archbishop's Orders. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly received communion during a
Sunday mass in Georgetown after recently being denied by her own archbishop in San Francisco, Politico Playbook reported
Monday [5/23/2022]. Pelosi reportedly took Holy Communion at the 9:00 a.m. mass at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in
Georgetown, according to Politico Playbook. Archbishop of San Francisco Salvatore Cordileone denied Pelosi from
receiving Holy Communion at a Friday mass in San Francisco due to the "grave evil she is perpetrating" by supporting the
legalization of abortion. The dioceses of Washington D.C. and San Francisco are under the direction of two different
bishops, which allows the House Speaker to continue receiving the sacrament in cities outside of San Francisco and others
imposing a ban on her participating in the practice.
The
View Cries Violation of Church and State to Deny Pelosi Communion. On Friday, San Francisco Archbishop
Salvatore J. Cordileone penned a notice telling Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that, because of her pro-choice stance, she will
not be permitted to take receive Holy Communion. Well, this absolutely triggered the pro-baby killing coven on ABC's
The View. And during their Monday [5/23/2022] show, they accused the Archbishop of somehow violating the
separation of church and state by carrying out punishment against a member of the church for violating their beliefs.
During the opening tease of the show, the announcer accused Cordileone of practicing "bad faith" with his decision.
"Did the San Francisco Archbishop cross the line between church and state by denying Speaker Pelosi communion for her
pro-choice stance," the voiceover ridiculously asked. It was a nonsensical point that was parroted by co-host Whoopi
Goldberg, obviously. "The abortion rights battle is starting to blur the lines between church and state," she huffed.
Leftist
DC Archbishop Gregory Stands with Pelosi and Her Abortion to Birth Policies — Will Not Order Priests to Refuse Her
Communion. Washington DC Archbishop Wilton Gregory released a statement in 2020 during the deadly BLM-Antifa
riots attacking President Donald Trump for visiting the John Paul II National Shrine. The DC Archbishop Gregory
lectured President Trump on "defending the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree" while at the same
time attacking him for visiting a Catholic Shrine. This was during the BLM rioting that caused $2 billion in damages
to property nationally and numerous deaths. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited the shrine for a
religious freedom event. They visited the Catholic Shrine before signing an executive order promoting religious
freedom. First Lady Melania Trump is a practicing Catholic. The media failed to report this important detail in
their hit pieces on President Trump.
Pelosi's Napa bishop
will uphold San Fran Communion ban. After Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's archbishop said Friday she is
barred from receiving the Eucharist, the bishop of the California diocese where Pelosi has a vacation home says he will
uphold the prohibition when Pelosi attends Mass in his diocese. Cardinal Wilton Gregory of the Archdiocese of
Washington has not commented on whether Pelosi can receive the Eucharist when she is in the nation's capital.
San
Francisco archbishop bars Speaker Nancy Pelosi from Holy Communion. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has
been barred from receiving Holy Communion in the Archdiocese of San Francisco because of her increasingly "extreme" position
on abortion, Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone announced Friday [5/20/2022]. In a "letter to the faithful," the
archbishop wrote that after repeated attempts to speak with Pelosi and persuade her to adhere to the Catholic Church's
teaching that life begins at conception and abortion is a sin, he has determined to place her under public church
discipline. "Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi's position on abortion has become only more extreme over the years,
especially in the last few months," Cordileone wrote. "Just earlier this month she once again, as she has many times
before, explicitly cited her Catholic faith while justifying abortion as a 'choice,' this time setting herself in direct
opposition to Pope Francis."
Why
the brave archbishop made his move on Nancy Pelosi now. San Francisco's Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone made
waves by taking on House speaker Nancy Pelosi, barring her from receiving Communion at Mass until she could get her head
straight on whether she's the devout Catholic she thinks she is or the beast who brings abortion on demand to the U.S. as one
of its most powerful politicians. A marker has been laid down — it's one or the other for Pelosi at this
point, and since she's going to remain in the pews for a while, she's now got some time to decide.
San
Francisco Archbishop Bars Pelosi From Holy Communion Due to Her Support of Abortion. San Francisco Archbishop
Salvatore J. Cordileone on Friday announced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will no longer be admitted to Holy Communion due to
her support of abortion. "Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion,"
the Catechism of the Catholic Church says. "This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable." "A Catholic
legislator who supports procured abortion, after knowing the teaching of the Church, commits a manifestly grave sin which is
a cause of most serious scandal to others. Therefore, universal Church law provides that such persons 'are not to be
admitted to Holy Communion,'" Cordileone wrote in the letter to Pelosi.
San
Francisco Archbishop Bars Pelosi From Receiving Holy Communion Due To Abortion Support. San Francisco
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone announced Friday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is barred from receiving Holy Communion due
to her pro-abortion stance — marking an escalation in a decades-long tension between the Roman Catholic Church and
liberal Democratic politicians on abortion. Cordileone has written to the California Democrat, informing her that she
should not present herself for Holy Communion at Mass, and that priests will not distribute communion to her if she does
present herself.
The Editor says...
[#1] Nancy Pelosi has been in Congress for a long time. Where has the archbishop been for
the last 35 years? [#2] What about all the other baby-killing Democrats in San Francisco?
Archbishop
Cordileone Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Catholics Who Support Abortion. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone
of the Archdiocese of San Francisco has taken the extreme step of publishing a letter informing Rep. Nancy Pelosi,
speaker of the House of Representatives and third in the line of succession for the presidency, that she must recant her
public support for abortion and confess her sins before she will be allowed to partake of the Eucharist. It's the most
drastic action yet taken by a leader of the Catholic Church against a high-ranking pro-abortion politician. The Bishop
of the Springfield, IL diocese gave the same punishment to state politicians; House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate
President John Cullerton were also banned from receiving communion.
The Editor says...
All Democrats who are in agreement with the party's baby-killing feminist position (among other things)
should be kicked out of the church, not just a high-profile political leader here and there.
Nancy
Pelosi reveals the Democrat campaign for the midterms. Over the weekend, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on
CNN's State of the Union to talk about the leaked draft opinion by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito that provides
the rationale on why Roe v. Wade (1973), which legalized abortion nationwide, has to be overturned.
Pelosi began her exposition with the following: ["]"Who would have ever suspected that a creature like Donald Trump
would become president of the United States, waving a list of judges that he would appoint, therefore getting the support of
the far-right and appointing those anti-freedom justices to the court"["] [...] Pelosi may have explicitly called
President Trump a "creature," but the subtext of her remarks was that all those who voted for Trump are also sub-human.
Her fury is because she views them as impediments to her monopoly of power. This was Pelosi's 'basket of deplorables'
moment. Pelosi in 2022 is in a similar position to Hillary Clinton in 2016. She is so convinced of her moral
superiority that she simply cannot fathom why popular opinion would be against her and what she stands for. The
sanctimonious Pelosi is convinced that she could never ever be wrong. So she placates her ego by blaming her opponents
and the voters as inferior beings.
Nancy Pelosi,
Unhinged. To be fair, that would describe Ms. Pelosi on most days. But the specific reference is to
her appearance this morning [5/15/2022] on CNN, as reported by the Washington Times. Pelosi was beside herself on the
subject of abortion: [...] It is "dangerous to the freedoms of our country" for elected representatives to determine policy
on the controversial issue of abortion, rather than nine unelected justices? "Freedom," like "our democracy," means the
Democrats getting their way. And how the presumably forthcoming Dobbs opinion is "dangerous... to families" is
anyone's guess.
The Gospel Of Nancy Pelosi.
As journalist and geopolitical pundit Dave DeCamp quipped of House Speaker Pelosi's Tuesday night floor speech urging support
for the $40 billion Ukraine aid bill that was later approved: "You know the story, when Jesus turned a few loaves of
bread and a few fish into billions of dollars worth of Javelins, Stingers, and heavy artillery using US taxpayer dollars."
We too hope that no Raytheon or Lockheed Martin executives injure themselves laughing at this. This is the Gospel
according to Nacy Pelosi... [Tweet]
Pelosi's
Reason Why Americans Should Support $40 Billion for Ukraine Defies Belief. The House passed a bill for $40
billion in weapons and other aid to Ukraine and the war effort on Tuesday. That was $7 billion on top of what Joe Biden
had asked for and on top of the $13.6 billion that was passed last month. Joe Biden said they needed more because they
had already spent everything. While 57 Republicans voted against the new bill for $40 billion, most voted for it.
It still has to go through the Senate. Congress had already passed a bill that gave Joe Biden the right to provide
virtually anything out of our own stockpiles to Ukraine. Meanwhile, officials are raising questions about how our own
stockpiles are being depleted with this effort. There are also big questions about whether they are ensuring the
weapons are getting to where they're supposed to go.
Leftists
Rioters Serve Pelosi A Huge Dose Of Karma After She Encouraged SCOTUS Protests. The White House on Tuesday
[5/10/2022] said it encourages "peaceful" protests outside the homes of Supreme Court justices, while criticizing those on
the right who have expressed "outrage" over Roe v. Wade demonstrations but were "silent" when protests against school
boards, abortion clinics and the capitol riot. Nancy Pelosi was on the same page and commended those who "channeled
their righteous anger" over the Supreme Court's leaked draft decision that would strike down Roe v. Wade by organizing
and marching.
Pelosi
Takes Pictures With Well-Known Money Launderer In Ukraine — Is It Just The Family Business? Oksana
Serhiyivna Markarova is the current Ukrainian ambassador to the United States. She is also a well-known money
launderer; she used her position as the former Ukrainian Minister of Finance to illegally make money in off-market bond
transactions. She left the Finance Ministry position in March of 2020 and was appointed by Ukrainian President
Zelenskiy as ambassador to the U.S. CDMedia wrote extensively in 2019 about then Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's
corrupt scheme to steal large sums of money through off-market bond transactions and then pocket the funds in offshore
accounts. Poroshenko worked these transactions through Valeriya Gontareva, the former head of the Bank of Ukraine, who
later bought a $30 million flat in London on a government official's salary.
Pelosi
proudly announces new minimum wage of $45,000 per year for House staffers. Congressional Democrats take care of
their own with Speaker Nancy Pelosi proudly announcing that House staffers will be compensated at a minimum pay rate of
$45,000 per year, a figure that will be a significant bump for many young staff members who work long hours. On Friday,
Madame Speaker sent out a "Dear Colleague" letter with the good news, "I am pleased to announce that, pursuant to the
statutory authority of the Speaker in 2 U.S.C. 4532, the House will for the first time ever set the minimum annual
pay for staff at $45,000."
Pelosi
commits the United States to Ukraine's victory. Nancy Pelosi traveled to Kyiv for a photo-op with the world's
new "freedom fighter," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. She announced to the world that "America stands firmly
with Ukraine" and "Our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done," and later tweeted to the Ukrainian people
that "we are with you until victory is won." So now its the Speaker of the House's turn to get her "Churchill" moment.
This would be laughable if the consequences were not so serious. It is another step on the road to a wider war.
Washington, it seems, is a town full of Churchill wannabes. How many more members of Congress will have had their
picture taken with Zelensky by election day?
Pelosi,
Schiff, McGovern bring a bad smell to Ukraine. In a sign that Ukraine's just war for survival against Russian
attack is growing more partisan-politicized and subject to domestic U.S. politics, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has turned up
in Kyiv, along with six other extremely rabid leftist Democrats. The junketeers met with Ukraine's President Volodymyr
Zelensky, who welcomed them warmly, as he always does with assorted political pilgrims these days. [...] Start with the fact
that this wasn't Joe Biden or his wretched vice president, Kamala Harris, who were doing the visiting. Nor was it
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who presumably should be handing this kind of diplomacy. These were the most
partisan of legislative hacks, some of them way down on the totem pole, with absolutely no claim nor right to be practicing
diplomacy. Presumably, they were there to go fact-finding, as congressional delegations do, but in this meeting, there
were "talks."
Pelosi
makes surprise trip to meet Zelensky in Kyiv. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a surprise trip to Kyiv as part
of the first congressional delegation to the capital since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. Pelosi and her
delegation, who made the visit on Saturday, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in person to discuss the United
States's efforts to support Ukraine's defense. "Meeting with the Speaker of the US House of Representatives in Kyiv,"
Zelensky said in a tweet. "The United States is a leader in Ukraine's strong support in the fight against Russian
aggression. Thank you for helping to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state!"
Nancy
Pelosi, the Wall Street queen, is heavily invested in China; this is why she won't investigate covid origins.
For some reason, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) refuses to launch investigations into the origins of the Wuhan
coronavirus (Covid-19). That reason, according to Peter Schweizer, author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich
Helping China Win, is because she and her husband have strong financial ties to communist China. There is a chance that
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca.) will launch these investigations instead, but Schweizer does not want Pelosi to
slip through the cracks. She clearly needs to be probed and held accountable for whatever is unearthed about her
treasonous financial endeavors with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). "She and her family have strong financial ties in
China," Schweizer said about Pelosi's Chinese investments.
Joe
Rogan Doesn't Mince Words, Levels Nancy Pelosi for 'Insider Trading'. The left has come down heavily in its
effort to take Joe Rogan down for daring to say things against their prevailing narratives. But it says something about
Rogan that he's not afraid to continue to take on topics that might set them off — such as going after House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her husband for their profiting from stock options while they are in the position of
promoting and regulating things that will affect the value of those options.
I
Learn Something New Every Day. [Scroll down] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tested positive two days after
she closely mingled with, hugged and kissed President Biden. Her spokesperson said she was fully vaccinated and boosted
and will quarantine as she encouraged "everyone to get vaccinated, boosted and test regularly." While she stood close to
the President as they celebrated the signing of an executive order to remedy the "glitch" in Obamacare, and she hugged and
kissed him, the White House insists she and the president were not in "close contact" something the CDC indicates is
sustained unmasked contact within six feet for more than 15 minutes. [...] Using the CDC guideline on what constitutes "close
contact" church services were banned, and businesses, schools, and restaurants were shuttered. This would not be the
first time Speaker Pelosi violated CDC guidelines. Even as she required all House members to wear masks on the floor of
the House (and fined those who disobeyed) she ignored the mask rules then in place to get her hair done. The rule
rescinding masking in the House was lifted at the end of February, in time for the State of the Union address.
Rand
Paul: Did Nancy Pelosi Receive Monoclonal Antibodies? Friday, during an appearance on FNC's "Hannity,"
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) suggested there was a possibility of a double standard for Democratic politicians and the public
for receiving monoclonal antibodies. The Kentucky Republican U.S. Senator asked if recently COVID-diagnosed House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had received those therapies while they were restricted for those in the general public.
Lawmakers
and experts spar over congressional stock trading. Lawmakers and experts sparred over proposed regulations on
the ability of members to trade stocks while in office. The House Administration Committee heard from five experts on
financial ethics and government accountability during a hearing about the ethics of trading stocks while in office, where
lawmakers potentially have access to lucrative, nonpublic information. The Thursday hearing followed an uproar in
recent months over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband making millions off stock trades.
Nancy
Pelosi's Jan. 6 Committee Is Following The Same Pattern As The Evil John Doe Investigation. Fifteen months
after Congress certified the 2020 election, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hand-picked Jan. 6 commission is still forging ahead
with partisan theater. The committee has seized bank records of peaceful protesters, routinely made up evidence to
tarnish Republican leaders, spied on federal lawmakers' phone records, threatened press freedom, and is now admittedly trying
to criminalize GOP's fundraising on the issue of election security, as The Federalist's Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway
reported last month. The unserious committee has been exploiting the Capitol riot for political ends since it happened,
but as time passes, Democrats' abuses of power become more brazen — and they call to mind some of the most
egregious instances of neglect of the rule of law and civil liberties in our country's recent history.
Pelosi
Remarks on Gas Prices Show Dems [are] Planning More Pain for Americans. It's long past time that House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) should have retired. I'm not a big advocate of hide-bound rules as to age or term limits. But
in her and in Joe Biden, you see the problems of advanced age and related issues that are harming our country. Of
course, it's not just the age, but lousy policies that they are trying to impose on us as well, such as Joe Biden deciding
that instead of working on promoting more American production he's just going to drain our reserve of petroleum dry to try to
drop prices before the midterms so Americans won't decimate Democrats in November.
Pelosi's
Husband Buys $2M in Tesla Stock as Dems Push Green Handouts. Nancy and Paul Pelosi are making a killing on the
Hill. If there's a dime to be made on an inside trade, that's where you'll find Nancy and her husband Paul. Their
corrupt trading practices have been well documented here on the DD and elsewhere — but here's a reminder:
"The Pelosis participated in at least 10 IPOs," GAI President Peter Schweizer told Jesse Watters on Fox News. "The fact
that a politician's family is allowed to participate in an investment that when it goes public generally doubles in value is
a real indicator that there's a problem." Most recently, and crazy enough not for the first time, Paul Pelosi "rolled the
dice" on some Tesla stock. Since Pelosi's purchase, Tesla's share prices have increased nearly 19% to over $1,036 a
share. Is he just that good? Or could there be something else at play. It's something else.
While
Americans Suffer Their Economy, Detached Pelosi Orders Catered Luncheon and Dancers for Her Entertainment. It
is important for us to accept the reality of our current situation. As millions of American citizens are suffering the
economic damage from rising inflation, gas prices, and the working class are trying to figure out just how to make ends meet,
it becomes critical to know how our political leadership is responding. This video is an unfortunate representation of
the state of our union. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi holds court, hosting a catered luncheon and calling for dancers to
perform for her and the congressional delegation. [Video clip]
Congress's
St. Patrick's Day luncheon exposed our dreadful political class. [Scroll down] But back to foreign
policy, where Biden seems intent upon inciting a completely unnecessary war against a nuclear nation. Thus, Biden used
the occasion of the luncheon to lob the kind of immature insults at Putin that would be embarrassing in a high school
cafeteria: [Biden quote omitted for brevity.] I'm not quarreling with Biden's description of Putin, who is a very bad
man. I am quarreling with this kind of locker room insult from a president who, along with his party, is seemingly
determined to pitch America into World War III. The high school feeling was also apparent when Nancy Pelosi, her voice
quavering uncontrollably, read aloud a poem from Bono (of U2) celebrating Ukraine president Zelensky as a new saint.
This is the type of poem that would have been a standout in the remedial 9th-grade English class of a failing public high
school: [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi Channels Her Inner Allen Ginsberg. The setting for Speaker Pelosi's poetry-reading masterpiece was at
the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon hosted by the speaker on Capitol Hill on Thursday, St. Patrick's Day. The
event started off as a competition between Pelosi and President Joe Biden for who could be the most moronic. Biden got
off to a fast start when, shortly after being introduced, he explained "I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid." Don't sell
yourself short, Mr. President, quite clearly, you're capable of being both. But Speaker Pelosi was not going to
be outdone.
Has
Nancy Pelosi Been Drinking on the Job Again? It Sure Looks That Way. The country is in the very best of
hands — Nancy Pelosi's trembling hands at the command of what appears to be a cocktail-impaired brain. Trust
me. I know the drinking signs. It's my considered opinion that the San Francisco-based House Speaker is filled to
the gills in the clip you're about to witness. It's bad enough when a Blue Enclave progressive tries to explain
military and geopolitical events, like an internet rando on fentanyl trying to explain rocket science to Elon Musk.
Nevertheless, Pelosi's love for the camera, though unrequited, necessitates that she publicly pontificate whenever the red
light comes on, even when her BA count is double the legal limit for driving. Sadly, there are no penalties for public
speaking while intoxicated, certainly not for Bay Area Democrats. [Video clip]
Pelosi
claims government spending is 'reducing the national debt' and 'not inflationary'. On Friday, House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi addressed a press conference at the House Democratic Issues Conference, telling the audience that President Joe

question regarding executive action. [Video clip]
J6
Fishing Expedition and 2022 Election Goals Could Reveal Why Pelosi Opened Satellite DC Police Offices in Key
States. Anyone who has followed politics for any amount of time knows the Nancy Pelosi "January 6th Committee"
is an opposition research effort under the guise of a House investigation. The goal is to frame an extremist narrative
favorable for the Democrats in the 2022 mid-term election. That is the entire goal. What the Mueller probe was to
President Trump, the J6 Committee is to the MAGA movement. Everyone, and I do mean e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e in Washington DC
knew Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel for one reason, to target President Trump, weaken his administration and
ultimately remove him from office. Not a single entity in DC did not know that was the goal. The same is true
here. Everyone in DC knows Nancy Pelosi's J6 Committee is intended to target Democrat political opposition. That
is the goal. That is ONLY the goal. Not a single entity in DC does not know that is the goal. The
Republican House members who voted to authorize the J6 Committee know the goal is to target Republicans. Please repeat
that as many times as you need in order to dispatch your battered conservative status. The Republican House members who
voted to authorize the J6 Committee are OUR ENEMY every bit as much as the Democrats.
An SOTU Postscript.
A couple of observations on two strange aspects of last night's event that have been widely commented upon. First,
Nancy Pelosi's bizarre actions while Joe Biden was talking about soldiers who were exposed to toxic "burn pits." What on
earth was she doing? [Video clip] And am I the only one who thinks that, with the plastic surgery she has
had, Pelosi has taken on something of the air of a high school girl, as in this performance during the SOTU?

topic sparked debate on social media. Biden said one of the dangers was soldiers breathing in toxic smoke from burn
pits while at their bases. At this moment, Pelosi began to rise to her feet while rubbing her knuckles together and
smiling. Applause can also be heard from the crowd. This moment has been viewed over 1.5 million times after
being posted on multiple Twitter accounts. Some people in the comments questioned whether it was an appropriate
response while other people chose to mock the House Speaker.
Pelosi:
You're Too Dumb to Appreciate Joe Biden. If you don't love Joe Biden for all the great things he's done for
this country, you're an ignorant moron. Well, at least that's what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told MSNBC's
Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday [3/1/2022]. [...] It doesn't matter that inflation and high gas prices are killing your monthly
budget, or that Joe Biden botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the nation's response to COVID, or the border
crisis. If all you see are things that he's actually done, you can't possibly know about the things he claims he's
done... which of course is all wonderful, historic, and perfect.
Biden won't
get a war to save his presidency. The Drudge Report spent yesterday saying war being imminent in Ukraine.
Nancy Pelosi said, "We think that an assault on Ukraine is an assault on democracy." No, having one of your Palace Guards
kill an unarmed protester in cold blood is a real threat to our constitutional republic. She also said, "We understand
the loss of life, the damage, the collateral damage to civilians, to military and the rest are severe if he decides to
invade." Good, she can send her son Paul Jr. and Biden can send Hunter to spill their blood. Nancy also said,
"The mothers in Russia don't like their children going into war. He's had to experience that, forgive the experience, body
bag from the moms, before." How many body bags did Obama create? But American mothers don't matter to Democrats.
Only Russian mothers matter.
Pelosi:
Who, us? Nobody wants to defund the police. When Missouri Democratic Congresswoman and squad member Cori
Bush said she was still going all-in on defunding the police, the rest of her party immediately began to get nervous.
You could see some of the more politically savvy Democrats edging away from Bush, but this weekend Speaker Nancy Pelosi
decided to publicly hang her out to dry. During a stop on her tour of the Sunday morning shows, Pelosi put out the word
in no uncertain terms, essentially declaring that Cori Bush is on her own. The "defund the police" message is not part
of the Democratic Party platform in 2022. Of course, she tried to be a bit more gentle by tossing in the phrase, "with all
the respect in the world for Cori Bush."
Pelosi's Watergate.
There has been much written lately about the similarity of Watergate and Special Counsel John Durham's revelations about the
Clinton campaign and others spying on Donald Trump, both as a candidate and a sitting president. There is also the
entry into the offices of Rep. Troy Nehls by the Capitol Police. They are under the control of Nancy Pelosi, of
whom Rep. Nehls has been critical regarding her so-called J-6 investigation. [...] Were it not for a dishonest and
totally biased MSM, the call for investigations, incarcerations, and resignations would be plastered all over the news.
We don't have to imagine what the press would have done had it been President Trump doing the spying, because the press
swallowed the lies about Trump and Russia and ran it for over a year. Even though that link has been debunked, few MSM
agencies have had the journalistic integrity to correct their previous claims. Now that the shoe is on the other foot,
the silence is deafening. This story makes Watergate look like child's play. Where are the Woodwards and
Bernsteins of today?
Nancy
Pelosi u-turns on members buying stock shares despite her husband raking in millions. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi is now on board with a potential ban on members of Congress trading stocks, but wants it to include all branches of
government including the Supreme Court, she said Wednesday [2/9/2022]. The powerful Democrat has shot down the idea
multiple times in the past, despite criticism over her husband raking in millions on the stock exchange. But the
California legislator is now working with other Democratic leaders on how to get it done, according to Punchbowl News, after
caving to pressure from both sides of the aisle and both chambers of Congress.
'Breadcrumbs
Lead to Speaker's Office,' Rep. Jim Banks Warns. Rep. Jim Banks heavily criticized House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi for her failure to hand over key documents related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, saying in a Monday interview that
Republican lawmakers believe the severity of the riot was due to a "systemic breakdown and failure at the highest levels of
the Capitol Police." The Indiana Republican, who is on a panel of GOP lawmakers that is unofficially investigating the
riot, spoke with The Daily Signal following an Axios report headlined "GOP's shadow Jan. 6 committee targets Capitol Police
'negligence.'" Banks criticized the article and strongly disputed any implication that Republicans are focusing negative
attention on Capitol Police officers themselves, noting that Republicans believe it is the leadership of the police force
that was at fault.
Nancy
Pelosi spent almost $500K on private jets despite climate preaching. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has shelled out
nearly $500,000 for private flights since October 2020, despite her claims that the US has a "moral obligation" to address
climate change. The California Democrat's campaign paid Virginia-based Advanced Aviation Team a total of $423,707.62
for travel services on 10 occasions between October 2020 and December 2021, according to Federal Election Commission filings
first reported by Fox News. In January last year, the Pelosi team also paid California-based Clay Lacy Aviation
$65,457.23, bringing the campaign's private jet expenses to a grand total of $489,164.85. In August last year, Pelosi
paid Advanced Aviation $67,604.93. Three months later, the House speaker led a contingent of Democratic lawmakers to the
COP26 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, where Pelosi described tackling the climate crisis as a
"religious thing."
Nancy takes a knee
for Beijing at the Winter Olympics. Nancy Pelosi, stock-trader extraordinaire, doubles as an adviser to
America's Olympic athletes. And her wise, nuanced advice to them is simple: "Shut up." It would be a very bad
idea, she says, to voice any political criticism at the games of the Chinese Communist Party or its glorious rule. You
may have missed her similar advice to LeBron James, as he kissed the backside of Beijing's dictators. You may have
missed her critique of the NBA, as it protected its highly-profitable franchise in China. They were as compliant as any
US multinational operating in Germany in the 1930s, eager to retain their profitable operations. You may have missed
Pelosi's full-throated defense of the NBA's Daryl Morey, general manager of the Houston Rockets, who tweeted his support of
the Hong Kong protesters in 2019? (He quickly backtracked under league pressure.) Nope. You didn't miss
it. Nancy's lips were sealed. Of course, LeBron James, Nike and the NBA can say what they please. This is
America. We have the free-speech rights, except at universities.
America's
crime spike goes much deeper than policing or the lack of it. [Scroll down] How did Nancy Pelosi get as
wealthy as she is on a public servant's salary? We're not stupid. If the people that run this country cannot
manage to follow the law, then why should anyone else? We work 40 or more hours a week just to have our paychecks
snatched by the government for taxes. Sometimes we rob Peter to pay Paul just to keep the electricity on and then, when
we turn on the television, we hear Nancy Pelosi claim that "we're a nation of laws" right after she made a fortune in Tesla
stock. Come on, man!
Pelosi
urges US Olympians not to anger 'ruthless' Chinese government. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday urged US
athletes competing in the Beijing Winter Olympics to keep mum on China's human rights abuses because the country's government
is "ruthless." Pelosi issued the warning during testimony at a Congressional-Executive Commission on China. She
acknowledged the US has a moral obligation to condemn the rights violations — but insisted the Olympic games were
not the proper venue for athletes to voice their concerns. "If we do not speak out against human rights violations in
China, because of commercial interests, we lose all moral authority to speak out against human rights violations anywhere,"
Pelosi said. But addressing athletes, she added: "Do not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government
because they are ruthless."
Smoking
gun documents tie Nancy Pelosi's son to fraud and bribery scheme. Nancy Pelosi's son listed himself as the
owner of a flop house tied to a fraud and bribery scheme prosecuted by the FBI, in documents newly unearthed by
DailyMail.com. In the documents, Paul Pelosi Jr. signed statements that he was the property owner, 'the party legally
and financially responsible for this proposed construction activity' and agreed to 'abide by all applicable laws and
requirements that govern Owner-Builders as well as employers.' And they even show Pelosi Jr., 53, applying for one of
the very same permits that building inspector Bernie Curran and 'permits expeditor' Rodrigo Santos have been indicted for.
Nancy's plan
for the SOTU. Could it get any more blatant than this? Nancy Pelosi has put forward a plan to limit the
actual in-person attendance of the upcoming State of the Union address to 25 people. [...] But we know what it is, don't
we? The day is not far off when Joe will step to the podium and begin conversing with Corn Pop (or Satchel Paige, one
or the other), or start swatting imaginary flies, or screaming that velociraptors are coming in the doors. This is
inevitable, and everybody outside the Beltway knows it. Just last week, during his infrastructure speech in Pittsburgh,
Joe went into a wild rant about the woes encountered by the parents of diabetics, who, according to him, have to choose
between food and insulin for the children. Voice growing ever louder, Joe pledged to do something about it...
evidently forgetting, if he ever actually knew, that it was he, Joe Biden, who eliminated, by executive order, the Trump
program aiding poor families in obtaining insulin and other medicines.
Pelosi
wants just 50 House members to attend Biden's State of the Union over Omicron fears. Only 50 House members may
get to attend President Joe Biden's first State of the Union address as the Omicron surge has resulted in 24 lawmakers
getting COVID in one month. On Tuesday, Axios reported that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told colleagues that
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned him that she may limit the number of attendees from the House to 25 members per
party. Biden will deliver his State of the Union address on March 1.
Wild
Redistricting To Give Democrats More House Seats: 'Brazen Attempt' At 'Rigging' Election To Keep Pelosi
Speaker. Wild redistricting in a proposed congressional map from New York Democrats will give Democrats a huge
advantage in the state, sparking criticism that the "egregiously biased map" is merely a "brazen and outrageous attempt at
rigging the election to keep Nancy Pelosi as speaker." According to analysis at FiveThirtyEight, the newly unveiled map
"severely" tilts the "playing field toward Democrats": [...] "Such an egregiously biased map was only possible because of the
weakness of New York's new bipartisan redistricting commission," FiveThirtyEight explained. "Under state law, the
legislature may simply draw its own map after rejecting the commission's first two proposals. Even worse, the
commission didn't even work as intended." As highlighted by The Washington Post, the new map "erases the upstate seat
held by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R) and creates a deep blue district in the middle of the state."
Nancy
Pelosi's son is embroiled in sixth FBI probe. Nancy Pelosi's son is embroiled in an FBI investigation into a
San Francisco official who was allegedly bribed to turn a blind eye to a corrupt real estate plot. Paul Pelosi Jr. and
at least three of his associates were interviewed by agents in a five-year investigation that resulted in an indictment of a
prolific building permit fixer for allegedly bribing a city official. The bribery scheme included an alleged plan to
remove permit violations on a squalid flop house owned by Pelosi Jr.'s girlfriend.
Nancy
Pelosi announces another run for Congress, ending retirement rumors. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced
Tuesday that she will seek another term in Congress, ending months of speculation over whether she would be retiring.
The 81-year-old California Democrat revealed her plan in a video posted to Twitter, in which she said that "much more needs
to be done to improve people's lives." "Our democracy is at risk because of the assaults on the truth, the assault on the
US Capitol and the state-by-state assault on voting rights," she said in the video. "This election is crucial.
Nothing less is at stake than our democracy. But as we say, we don't agonize, we organize and that is why I am running
for reelection to Congress and respectfully seek your support. I'd be greatly honored by it and grateful for it.
Thank you so much." Pelosi was first elected to Congress in 1987 and has been the top House Democrat since 2003.
In 2007, she became the first woman to hold the Speaker's gavel.
The Editor says...
Ask yourself why an 81-year-old multi-millionaire would be so resistant to retirement.
Nancy
Pelosi Makes a Panic Move and Sets up a Showdown With Her Own Party. The coming midterm elections are not
looking good for Democrats. In fact, short of some kind of divine intervention, Joe Biden's party is going to get
absolutely boat-raced. [...] In the midst of that hostile environment, numerous Democrat incumbents have announced their
retirements, which is usually a sure-fire sign of coming doom. You may recall all the articles from 2018 noting how
Republican retirements were a very bad sign. Indeed, they did precede a blue wave, and the reverse is now occurring in
2022. Just how bad are things? Nancy Pelosi may have given us a hint today with this cringe video (she apparently
found the old "Full House" set), in which she announced that she's running for re-election.
Nancy
Pelosi Calls House Dem's the 'Greatest Collection of Intellect and Integrity. Nancy Pelosi isn't known for her
intellect or honesty, but lately she has made even more idiotic statements than usual. Not only has she declared Joe
Biden as one of the greatest presidents and thinks he's doing a fantastic job, she also believes that house Democrats are the
greatest collection of intellect and integrity. [...] Pelosi has made over $100 mil engaging in insider trading and selling
America's secrets to whoever will foot the bill. She has robbed Americans of tax dollars by funneling billions to her
own district, only for that money to be dispersed to her allies. Democrats have as much integrity as the criminal who
gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar and then plays the victim. [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi is wrong — members of Congress have no reason to trade stocks. A decade ago, Congress passed
the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act. This law was supposed to do what it sounds like it would
do — stop members of Congress from enriching themselves using inside knowledge that others lack. But
unfortunately, the law is toothless, imposing tiny fines for violations. Some lawmakers from both parties want to fix
this problem by simply banning members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks on the stock
market. They are right to pursue this goal, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is wrong to block them.
Nancy
Pelosi's son, Paul, seems to have an affinity for corrupt business people. Over 2,500 years ago, Aesop
moralized, "A man is known by the company he keeps." By that metric, although Nancy Pelosi's son, Paul Pelosi, Jr., has
never been charged with a crime, I'm not sure I'd leave him in a room with my silverware. I say that because I've just
read the Daily Mail exclusive report noting that Paul has been involved in five companies probed by federal agencies
for fraud and other serious financial crimes. [...] Too many people in our government are essentially American
oligarchs. They use politics, not for their country's advancement, but for their own. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi
both have enriched themselves and their families while leaving Americans in worse condition with every passing year. I
sincerely hope these morally bankrupt people aren't the political leaders America deserves because, if that's true, America
has turned into a pathetic, utterly corrupt, third-world oligarchy.
Nancy
Pelosi's son Paul was involved in five companies probed by the feds. Nancy Pelosi's son was involved in five
companies probed by federal agencies — but has never been charged himself, a DailyMail.com investigation
reveals. A shocking paper trail shows Paul Pelosi Jr.'s connections to a host of fraudsters, rule-breakers and
convicted criminals. His years-long repeated business dealings raise two troubling questions Nancy's son has been
unable to answer: why did he get mixed up with such unsavory characters over and over, and how involved was he
with the criminal investigations into his fraudster colleagues?
Nancy
Pelosi's Eyebrows Are a Thing — No, Really. As if we didn't already have more than enough
target-rich material about which to blister Nancy Pelosi on a daily basis, the 81-year-old woman's creepy eyebrows are
now a thing on Twitter, where they — and she — continue to be mocked and ridiculed in hilarious
fashion. So, Pelosi did an interview with CBS's "Face the Nation" this week in which she yet again spewed silly
nonsense about how the evil Republicans are undermining democracy, but it wasn't the contents of Madam Speaker's delusional
diatribe that became a social media hit. Not even close.
Democrat
Sen. Jeff Merkley Admits Pelosi's Stock Trading Sways Her Legislative Judgment. Democrat Sen. Jeff
Merkley (D-OR) on Monday admitted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) husband's stock trading activity sways her legislative
judgment. While American workers are not privy to much of the information that high-ranking members of Congress possess,
Pelosi believes lawmakers and their spouses should be permitted to continue trading stocks with a small degree of transparency.
Leftists
have a cow over Tucker Carlson's observations about Nancy Pelosi's strange new appearance. House speaker Nancy
Pelosi apparently has had some plastic surgery. It didn't go well. Tucker Carlson was on the scene to state what
everyone was thinking: [Video clip] [...] No getting older gracefully for her. No "women can be attractive
at any age," as the former supermodel Polina Porizhkova has favorably been received as declaring. Just weird
status-symbol plastic surgery, the kind that very wealthy women get to impress their social-X-ray friends out on the Pacific
Heights cocktail circuit. No, it doesn't make her look better, but in her circles, who cares? It isn't actually
about looks. It's about "hain't she got money to do it?" That's what this kind of plastic surgery at this age
projects: a sort of flinging of status symbols into the faces of the masses, to underline that she's of a very different
class from the groundlings she claims to represent.
What
Is Going On With Nancy Pelosi's Eyebrows? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urges passage of federal voting rights
legislation amid GOP changes to local election laws: "What the Republicans are doing across the country, is really a
legislative continuation of January 6th." But all that nonsense aside, it looks like Nancy [has] crazy eyebrows.
[Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi's Legacy Will Come to Haunt Democrats. Despite speculation to the contrary, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
is reportedly running for reelection in her San Francisco-based congressional district. But she is expected to honor a
term-limit deal she made with a group of House Democrats ready to oust her in 2019, returning in a much-diminished
role. Party leader since 2003 and speaker from 2007 through 2011 and again since 2019, Pelosi has accrued a legacy that
Democrats have good reason to regret. She largely managed to let down both the progressive and moderate wings of her
party. Though she was never popular at the national level, her weak performance has been somewhat surprising given her
successful first run as House speaker. Since Democrats recaptured the House in the 2018 election, Pelosi has
continuously caved to the fringes of her party.
The
Supreme Court and Congress Humiliate Themselves. Not far from the hallowed halls of the Supreme Court, Speaker
Nancy Pelosi and her pals are trying yet again to make more of the January 6 riot than facts would warrant. [...] Not many
are buying this nonsense, though. A recent survey indicates that the majority of us think that it was not an
insurrection (something the government hasn't even charged) but a three-hour riot that got out of hand. Perhaps if the
Democrats had some winning policies, they could stop concentrating on Donald J. Trump, whose popular support today far
surpasses that of the President, Vice-President and Nancy Pelosi.
House
Speaker Pelosi invites President Biden to deliver his first State of the Union on March 1. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi has invited President Biden to on March 1 deliver his first official State of the Union address to a Joint Session of
Congress. In a letter to the president, the speaker wrote, "Indeed, this past year has been historic: with the
life-saving American Rescue Plan, once-in-a-century Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and, soon, the truly transformational Build
Back Better Act! In that spirit, I am writing to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 1,
to share your vision of the State of the Union." Biden has not yet formally accepted the invitation.
Nancy
Pelosi makes millions off tech stocks, and scoffs at push to ban congressional trades. Nancy Pelosi is
scrambling to quash bipartisan efforts to ban stock trading by Congressional lawmakers — even as she and her
husband have raked in as much as $30 million from bets on the Big Tech firms Pelosi is responsible for regulating. Late
last month, the House Speaker disclosed that the Pelosis scooped up millions in bullish call options for stocks including
Google, Salesforce, Micron Technology and Roblox. At the same, some insiders say she has slow-walked efforts to rein in
Big Tech. Days later, Pelosi brushed off worries over stock picking by lawmakers, claiming it was part of the
"free-market economy" — comments that made Democratic insiders "blood boil," people close to the speaker told The
[New York] Post.
Stefanik
Torches Pelosi Over J6: Speaker 'Bears Responsibility' for Capitol Incident. New York GOP Rep. Elise
Stefanik is torching House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the one-year anniversary of the incident at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
In a scathing press release, Stefanik said that Pelosi shared blame for the riot that occurred on January 6, 2021. Stefanik,
who serves as House GOP Conference chair, thanked law enforcement for their work to control the chaos last year. She also
condemned Pelosi for ultimately being the one "responsible" for leaving the Capitol prone to attack.
'What
is she hiding?' Top Republican accuses Pelosi of coverup by withholding Jan. 6 documents. The top Republican on
the House committee that oversees U.S. Capitol security is blasting Speaker Nancy Pelosi for refusing to release key evidence
showing the security planning prior to the Jan. 6 riots and is warning that the police force that protects lawmakers has not
reformed itself enough to avoid another tragedy. "We know there were intelligence analysis failures at the Capitol
Police," Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) told the John Solomon Reports podcast during an interview Thursday on the one-year
anniversary of the Capitol riots. And frankly, John, I don't think those have been corrected yet. "Our job is to
protect the Capitol, and they're making the same bad decisions," he said.
Nancy
Pelosi is Again Confronted on Not Giving Americans 'Full Story' of Jan. 6. Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have been
the mastermind of the partisan Jan. 6 committee, which is comprised of anti-Trump Democrats and fledgling Republicans.
But far from seeking to give Americans the "whole truth and nothing but the truth" about what happened during the Capitol
riots on that date one year ago, she and her committee appear to be acting as "gatekeepers" who release only the information
that conforms to a pre-existing narrative of events.
Ranking
GOP Member Exposes Pelosi's Obstruction to Jan 6 Security Records. Ranking Member for the House Administration
Committee Rodney Davis (R-IL) has unveiled new evidence that Pelosi is obstructing access to records relating to the security
preparedness of the Capitol on that infamous day. Davis wrote a letter to speaker Pelosi on January 3, 2022 laying out
the timeline as proof for his accusations against Pelosi's obstruction: "In the immediate aftermath of January 6th,
Republicans began an examination of the Capitol's security vulnerabilities. On January 13, 2021, as the Ranking
Republican Member of the House Administration Committee, I sent letters to the Acting House Sergeant-at-Arms, the House Chief
Administrative Officer, and the Acting Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) asking them to preserve all records relating
to January 6th" the letter states.
Pelosi
[is] accused of hiding info on her role in security breakdown on Jan. 6. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is
concealing information about her culpability in the security breakdown during the Jan. 6 riot, according to Republican
lawmakers who have been pursuing those documents since immediately after the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Rodney Davis of Illinois said Mrs. Pelosi is stonewalling. He is the top Republican on the House
Administration Committee, which oversees the management of the Capitol complex. "The Sergeant at Arms, at the direction
of the speaker has refused to provide us their communications surrounding Jan. 6. I believe those records will show there
was a lot of communications and coordination between the speaker's office and law enforcement officials leading up to and on
Jan. 6," Mr. Davis wrote in a statement Tuesday to The Washington Times.
Nancy
Pelosi expected to 'step down next year'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to step down at the end of
this Congress after nearly two decades in Democratic leadership, and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is the new favorite to lead
the party. While Jeffries, N.Y., chair of the House Democratic Caucus, is the favorite, the debate over who will
succeed Pelosi, Calif., could lay to bare the deep divide between progressives and moderates. Future leaders of the
party could differ in their ideas for how to counter the GOP, as they brace for the possibility of serious losses in the
midterm elections.
There's
a Reason Pelosi Doesn't Want Stock Restrictions on Lawmakers. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was asked in a
press conference earlier this month whether members of Congress should be allowed to trade individual stocks, despite often
having access to insider information. Pelosi was all in favor of it, saying "We're a free-market economy" and that
members of Congress "should be able to participate in that." [Tweet] Turns out that within a few days of that,
Pelosi and her husband Paul bought millions in call options for Google, Salesforce, Roblox, and Disney stocks. Some are
raising questions about whether Pelosi is slow-walking bipartisan legislation that could adversely impact tech firms.
So that puts an even sharper question on her buying tech shares.
Stench
of corruption: Nancy Pelosi buys Big Tech call options. Nancy Pelosi has grown very rich while in public
office. She's amassed a reported $120 million fortune on a $223,500 annual congressional salary. And like Hillary
Clinton, she's an expert stock picker. In her case, she trades a lot on stocks of companies she writes the laws for,
and somehow, it always seems to go her way. Last year, her pick was Tesla. This year? All about Big Tech.
[...] See how this works? She ought to be forced by a bipartisan group of Squadsters and Republicans to hold a vote on
the measure she's blocking this year. And come November, Republicans at the helm should put a stop to this kind of
activity, and send in the special counsels to investigate these curious investing activities of Pelosi's.
Nancy
Pelosi's millionaire husband Paul purchased millions in Alphabet, Disney and Salesforce stocks. Just as House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed back on the idea that lawmakers should not be able to make individual stock trades while in
office, her husband Paul bought shares in Google's parent company Alphabet, Disney and Salesforce worth millions. 'We're
a free market economy,' Pelosi told reporters during a news conference on Dec. 15. 'They [lawmakers] should be able to
participate in that.' Two days later, Paul Pelosi bought stock in Alphabet worth between $500,001 and $1 million.
He also bought shares in Disney worth between $100,001 and $250,000.
Why
Pelosi Just Can't Quit Jan. 6. Pelosi's Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome affliction has raged for at least
five years, everybody knows that. But at least when the Russian "collusion" nonsense finally and conclusively proved to
be a hoax, she mostly let it go. At least, publicly. But Jan 6. occupies a different twisted crevasse of Pelosi's
Trump-riddled brain. Or does it? Might she simply be using Jan. 6 to try to deflect from Biden's
disastrous presidency? I report, you decide. Either way, Pelosi's Jan. 6 band plays on.
Gen.
Michael Flynn Files Restraining Order Against Nancy Pelosi. Gen. Michael Flynn, who knows a thing or two
about witch hunts, is taking action to stop the latest one. Naming all the members of the House Select Committee to
Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol as defendants, he has filed a complaint intended to stop a
subpoena from that committee. At the same time, according to the Western Journal, Flynn "filed a motion for a temporary
restraining order and preliminary injunction specifically" against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Smirnoff). It is always
refreshing, and far too rare, to see someone fighting back against this latter-day American version of the Stalinist show trials.
Michael
Flynn sues Nancy Pelosi and Jan. 6 committee. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn filed a lawsuit
requesting a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the Jan. 6 committee and House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi on Tuesday [12/21/2021]. Flynn's filing with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida seeking
declaratory and injunctive relief argues the committee has engaged in "outrageous intrusion" by issuing extensive subpoenas
to Flynn and his family, as well as "secret seizure of his and his family's personal information from their
telecommunications and/or electronic mail service providers." The onetime national security adviser denied involvement
in the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot that precipitated the congressional committee.
The
Takers Are Taking Over. In metropolitan areas, we are seeing well organized mobs storming high-end stores,
grabbing merchandise, fleeing, and openly selling their stolen goods. In Washington and state capitols, the progressive
takers are demanding more and more free services and subsidies. All of this while the earners try to survive in the
face recurring lockdowns, oppressive mandates, and their inability to find willing workers. Far too many struggle just
to keep their businesses afloat. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, in response to the rash of smash and grab crimes
asked, "Pray tell, where is this attitude of lawlessness coming from?" The minority leader Kevin McCarthy shared the obvious
answer: "Speaker Pelosi should look in the mirror to see what caused the 'attitude of lawlessness' spreading across the
country. Democrat politicians defunded police, raised money for rioters, and pushed policies that are soft on crime.
They own this crime wave."
Tapper
Calls Out Pelosi's Opposition to Making Congress More Ethical. Subverting the expectations of some of his
critics and going back to how he used to do things, CNN's Jake Tapper spent over eight minutes on Thursday's edition of The
Lead going after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for her opposition to measures that would make Congress more ethical and
crackdown on insider trading. He even brought on the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, Walter Shaub
to take her to task. Immediately after returning from a commercial break, Tapper announced it was time for a "conflict
of interest watch." He then likely made her fan base unhappy by warning that "Ethics experts" were "sounding the alarm today
after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would not support a ban on members of Congress and their spouses from trading
stocks while in office." Chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju joined him and noted the Business Insider
investigation that found "found that 49 Members of Congress and 182 senior-level congressional staffers" were in direct
violation of the 2012 STOCK Act that was passed in an attempt to keep insider trading from occurring.
AOC
and Pelosi in open spat about Congress members trading in stocks. Finally, I have an issue on which I can agree
with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The young solon from New York City is still jaded enough to call out the
obvious conflicts of interest when members of Congress trade stocks over whose fates they may have inside information.
She is directly confronting her party's leader on the House, someone whose own daughter has warned of her ability to exact
revenge ("she'll cut your head off"). Speaker Pelosi, for her part, has seen her husband accumulate a large fortune
while she engaged in what is laughably called "public service."
Inside
Nancy Pelosi's Husband's $5 Million Alphabet Options Windfall. Did Paul Pelosi, the financier husband of House
Speaker Nancy, profit off of insider Beltway scuttlebutt in June to make about $5 million on options contracts tied to
Alphabet's stock? On Wednesday evening [7/7/2021], Bloomberg News published a report titled "Pelosi's Husband
Locked In $5.3 Million From Alphabet Options," which carried the subheadlines, "Action was week before House panel considered
antitrust bills," and "Antitrust bills target Alphabet's Google, Apple, Amazon." The story followed a Fox Business News piece
looking at Pelosi's June trades, which were laid out in a July 2 disclosure form. Both stories raise a connection
between Pelosi's trades in Alphabet and a House Judiciary Committee's vote on a number of antitrust efforts aimed at big
technology titans like Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft. Some of the bills, which advanced from the
subcommittee in July, aim to limit the market power or break up the companies entirely. After politically charged
investigations of Senators' stock trades in 2020 at the onset of the Coronavirus crisis, sleuths now comb the financial
disclosure forms of congressional leaders for hints of insider trading.

Pelosi defends members of Congress trading stocks after report said 49 have violated conflict of interest law.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to face blowback for her comments defending lawmakers who trade in stocks even while
having access to potentially market-moving information. 'We are a free-market economy. They should be able to
participate in that,' Pelosi responded Wednesday when asked whether Members of Congress and their spouses should be banned
from trading individual stocks. She was responding to questions about a Business Insider report on dozens of lawmakers
who have failed to meet requirements of the STOCK Act by failing turn in timely reports on their asset sales and purchases.
Queen
of Corruption, Nancy Pelosi, Dismisses Her and Other Politicians Insider Trading. In 2012 '60 Minutes' did an
entire report exposing just how crooked Nancy Pelosi's family is in regards to insider trading, today she made it very clear
that she wants the corruption to continue. Pelosi, who has been in public office for over 30 years now, has been on a
roll lately with her stock trading, beating even people such as Ray Dalio and Warren Buffett, two of the greatest stock
traders of all time. She has a perfect stock record trading record since she is the one crafting the bills for the
people she's buying stocks in, she talks to them and then suddenly she's given an IPO, invests, makes millions and then the
bill dies. [Video clip]
Why
Nancy Pelosi is wrong about lawmakers trading in stocks. A few days back, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that
lawmakers should not be prevented from trading stocks. "We are a free market economy. They should be able to
participate in that," Pelosi said. Her remarks are probably owing to the fact that Pelosi's husband holds stocks and
options worth tens of millions of dollars. [...] Pelosi insisted that she had no involvement or prior knowledge of her
husband's stock investments. She also stated that she had no stock on her name. However, the fact that Pelosi's
husband made millions from various big tech firms that she is supposed to regulate, at the very least is a huge conflict of
interest. But Pelosi is not the only one. Back in April, a study by the Campaign Legal Center discovered that
both Republican and Democratic lawmakers bought and sold stocks hundreds of times throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
Many lawmakers had invested in industries whose importance and relevance were elevated owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
They also sold their stocks from the hospitality industry, restaurants, and other sectors that were adversely affected by the
pandemic.
Pelosi
On Why Congress Should Be Allowed To Trade Stock After Dozens Broke Law: We 'Should Be Able To'. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi brushed off questions on Wednesday about why Members of Congress should be allowed to trade stock when a
recent report found that dozens allegedly broke insider trading laws. "Madam Speaker, Insider just completed a
five-month investigation finding that 49 Members of Congress and 182 senior Congressional staffers have violated the STOCK
Act, the insider trading law," a reporter said. "I'm wondering if you have any reaction to that." [...] "Why shouldn't
they be banned?" the reporter asked. "Because this is a free market and people — we are a free market
economy," Pelosi responded. "They should be able to participate in that." Pelosi's husband, investor Paul Pelosi,
reportedly trades large volumes of stocks on a regular basis, according to Business Insider. Pelosi has a net worth of
nearly $50 million, according to a separate report from Business Insider.
Nancy
Pelosi Is Collecting the Phone Records of the Conservative Movement. Yesterday [12/14/2021], former
Rep. Mark Meadows was held in contempt by the same House he once served in before his appointment as former President
Donald J. Trump's last chief of staff. Meadows had been complying with Nancy Pelosi's appointed select committee tasked
with looking into January 6 until it went too far. Meadows is now suing Pelosi and the select committee. In
retaliation, the committee read out texts, and doctored texts, on Monday between Meadows and Fox News hosts and the
president's son. It was lost on Democrats and the media that the text messages actually prove there was no attempted
coup from within the Trump administration or his family. Meadows' lawsuit is serious but will D.C.'s political judges
allow it to be heard on its merits or the politics of post-January 6?
Nancy
Pelosi Is the Elephant in the Room of the January 6 Riot. [Former White House Chief of Staff Mark] Meadows, who
is also a former member of the House of Representatives, initially cooperated with the select panel, turning over more than
6,900 requested documents, including those now infamous emails he received during the riot from Fox News stars Sean Hannity,
Brian Kilmeade, and Laura Ingraham. But then the panel demanded Meadows show up for a deposition in which he would have
to answer under oath and all questions put to him. Doing that would have inevitably required him to violate
presidential executive privilege because he was certain to be asked multiple questions about how he advised Trump on the riot
and what Trump said in response, as well as how other aides did so. Executive privilege is not absolute, but it is
essential, according to the Supreme Court in its U.S. v Nixon decision that blew Watergate wide open.

Whistleblower: Pelosi Family Hired Me To Intimidate Ex-Girlfriend of Nancy Pelosi's Son. Whistleblower
Richie Albertini says that he was hired by the Pelosi family to be part of a harassment and intimidation shakedown campaign
against Karena Feng, the ex-girlfriend of Nancy Pelosi's son Paul Pelosi Junior. Albertini said that while he was
working for an underground collections racket, he was handed an entire file on Karena "Apple" Feng, the target of the Pelosi
family. Albertini was told that Paul Pelosi Junior was effectively the owner of the "debt" that Feng supposedly
owed. Albertini, who has become a born-again Christian, told us about the "harassment, and basically stalking"
activities of multiple collections enforcement companies that targeted Karena Feng.
Nancy
Pelosi Puts on a Worrisome Display During Press Briefing. [Nancy] Pelosi has had her share of moments in front
of the cameras that have caused people to do double takes out of either concern or outright shock, but we may have just come
across the worst one of all. Take a look at what she said below during a press briefing late last week when she was
asked "Why hasn't the House acted on that bill about Uyghur oppression, and do you think that it will?" Can you make
heads or tails of it? I can't: [Video clip]
The
Biden-Buttigieg Pitch: It's All Free! Many Americans are concerned about the Democrats' orgy of
spending, fearing particularly that pumping so much extra money into the economy will feed the inflation that has become the
public's greatest economic concern of the moment. So Biden came up with an argument that essentially said no one should
worry because it will all be free. "My Build Back Better agenda costs zero dollars," the president tweeted on Sept. 25.
White House chief of staff Ron Klain said, "The net cost of Build Back Better is zero." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi added, "The dollar
amount, as the president said, is zero." It was all preposterous, of course. Two trillion dollars does not just appear
out of nowhere.
Reports:
Pelosi buys $25 million mansion in the Free State of Florida. About 1,000 people per day are moving to Florida,
the bulk of them coming from Democrat-dominated New York, New Jersey, and California. They're fleeing high-tax lockdown
states for a low-tax free state. For a group which constantly gripes about the way he governs, Democrats sure don't
seem to mind being governed by Ron DeSantis. Nancy Pelosi is reportedly one of them. The Democrat house speaker
from the San Francisco Bay Area has purchased an 11,000-square-foot $25 million oceanview mansion in Florida, where she
would be governed by Gov. DeSantis, according to reports on social media.
The Editor says...
Like many other climate alarmists, Ms. Pelosi is so worried about global warming, rising sea levels, and the "climate emergency"
that she bought a huge house right on the beach!
Nancy
Pelosi makes shocking $25 million retirement move. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is secretly a fan of Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis — so much that she's prepared to flee California for a cozy retirement in Florida.
Amid rumors of Pelosi's pending retirement, there is also a rumor she just dropped a stunning $25 million to buy a huge
mansion in the Sunshine State.
The Editor says...
Is it not amusing that Ms. Pelosi is moving to Florida? Are there no mansions with a view of the ocean in California?
Sure there are, but nobody wants to live in California, if they can help it. Not even multi-millionaire Nancy Pelosi.
Almost
everything Pelosi is saying about Biden's 'Build Back Better' agenda is wrong. The House voted Friday to
advance President Joe Biden's multitrillion-dollar welfare and climate change spending legislation, the so-called "Build Back
Better" agenda. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi led the charge and made an impassioned speech promoting the
legislation. There's just one problem: Almost every single major factual claim she made about the "Build Back
Better" agenda is false. "Build Back Better is fully paid for. It reduces the deficit and grows the economy,"
Pelosi said on the House floor. This is incorrect on all counts. The "Build Back Better" plan will likely cost
taxpayers up to $4.9 trillion — and no, it isn't "fully paid for" by offsetting tax increases. (Even if it
were, that's an insane amount of money going to wasteful government spending schemes.) The nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office concluded that the bill would add $367 billion to the deficit over 10 years — or about
$160 billion if one factors in the money possibly raised by the legislation's enhanced IRS tax crackdowns.
Pelosi
Caught Without Mask at Swingers Bar in D.C. With Rep. Yvette Clarke. Now, before you lose your mind over
the title and the thought of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) at a swinger's bar, let me explain. The name of the bar
that she was at was Swingers. The reason they call it Swingers is because, in addition to fancy cocktails and high-end
street food, they have an adults-only mini-golf course or "crazy golf club," as they call themselves. On the course,
you are encouraged to drink, so Pelosi should fit right in. Pelosi was at the bar with her arm around Rep. Yvette
Clarke (D-NY), neither were wearing masks despite the city mandate to wear masks indoors in public businesses like bars and
restaurants that is still in effect in Washington, D.C., and despite Pelosi's constant promotion of mask-wearing.
Washington's
Newest Parlor Game: "Joe, Kamala, Nancy, or Chuck?" Who Will Still Be in Office One Year From Now? Many
House Democrats were already uneasy with another term for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, even before the legislative mess that the
party now finds itself in. Democrats lost seats in the 2020 election on Pelosi's watch, even as Biden landed in the
White House and Democrats regained control of the Senate. Progressives wanted one of their own to hold the gavel, and
there were serious doubts that Pelosi could keep an increasingly fractured party together. Those doubts appear to be
well-founded amid the bungled messaging and process around Biden's signature infrastructure plan and social spending
bill. Were it not for 13 Republicans breaking ranks to vote with Democrats, the infrastructure bill would have failed
in the House, a sign of Pelosi's inability to keep progressives in line. In light of the results in this month's
elections, it's also conceivable that Pelosi may want to avoid presiding over what could well be a historic collapse in the
2022 midterms. If the 81-year-old Speaker does decide to retire early, she may still be able to name her heir and
salvage some of her legacy — an inviting prospect for a career politician.
Mega-rich
Pelosi objected to 'billionaire tax' in $1.75T spending bill. Guess this was one tax hike that hit too close to
home for Nancy Pelosi. The speaker of the House of Representatives — who is reportedly the sixth-wealthiest
member of Congress at over $100 million — took issue late last month with plans by fellow Democrats to levy a tax
on unrealized capital gains to help pay for President Biden's massive $1.75 trillion social spending bill, according to a
report. The California Democrat reportedly described the wealth tax as "a publicity stunt." A senior Democratic
aide told The Post that Pelosi's reservations, which were first reported by the Washington Post, were due to the fact that
Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) had not finalized legislation for the billionaire tax by the time the White
House was to submit an updated framework for the social spending plan.
Getty
Wedding Guest List Shows Exactly Who California's Political Elite Are Listening To. If you were lucky, you
might've seen billionaire oil heiress Ivy Love Getty strut up San Fransisco City Hall's red carpet-lined steps in her couture
wedding gown last weekend. Or, you might've witnessed police contain hundreds of homeless onlookers, making sure none
of them ruined Getty's picture-perfect frame. For the Saturday nuptials, Getty paid the San Francisco County Sheriff's
Office a hefty $42,314 — which presumably helped cover the cost of keeping homeless populations out of the way and
clearing the tents, trash, human feces, and heroine [sic] needles lining the streets — all so she and celebrity
photographer Tobias Engel could have their fairytale wedding, complete with plenty of California elites. A maskless
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi officiated the ceremony. Pelosi has been one of California's staunchest advocates for
mask-wearing policies, such as those mandating the facial restraints for children age 5-17 in schools. But when you're
at a lavish billionaire wedding, rules don't apply. Especially if you're the one making them.
Pelosi
Says Women Face Particular Dangers From Climate Change. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., stated that
climate change poses a greater risk to women than men across the world. "[Climate change] is the existential threat of
our time," Pelosi remarked Tuesday at COP26, the ongoing United Nations climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, according to The
New York Times. "It's a threat multiplier that amplifies and accelerates existing inequities. Eighty percent of
people displaced by climate change globally are women." The information cited by Pelosi appeared to originate from a 2018
U.N. report that referenced the 80% figure, but it is unclear which study the statistic came from. The report further
concluded that women tend to be harmed more than men during cataclysmic climate events because they remain in the home while
men are "out in the open" and cultural gender roles "sometimes limit women's abilities to make quick decisions." On
Monday [11/8/2021], Pelosi traveled to the conference along with nearly two dozen fellow House Democrats, she announced.
The Editor says...
[#1] For the last fifty years, the Democrats have been telling the rest of us that men and women are interchangeable, if not
equivalent. They wanted women in combat for that reason. They complain about
the "gender
pay gap." Are women leaders and heroes or are they victims? [#2] The assertion that "eighty percent of
people displaced by climate change globally are women" is nearly meaningless. Eighty percent of what number? How many
people — out of the total population of 7.9 billion — have been "displaced by climate change?" Nobody moves from one
place to another entirely because of bad weather. And if they do move, they will find that the climate changes everywhere.
"That's

"Uh thank you all for being here," Pelosi said as the crowd stayed completely silent.

Pelosi Blasted for Failing to Wear Mask While Attending Lavish Wedding. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has found
herself in hot water after attending a luxurious wedding in San Francisco over the weekend — and failing to mask
up as required by strict local guidelines. Pelosi officiated the wedding of the artist and billionaire Ivy Getty at San
Francisco City Hall before the celebration continued at the Getty Mansion. Among the guests were California Governor
Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, actress Anya Taylor-Joy, and many other prominent guests. According to
several photos of the attendees that emerged online, neither Pelosi nor the guests bothered to put on their masks.
Nancy
Pelosi slammed as hypocrite for attending Ivy Getty's wedding maskless. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been
branded a hypocrite for attending the lavish wedding of billionaire oil heiress Ivy Getty over the weekend without a
mask — while children in California are being made to wear them in the state's schools. Pelosi (D-Calif.),
who officiated the ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, faced backlash on social media after photos of her mingling with
other maskless wedding guests were published by Vogue on Tuesday [11/9/2021]. Critics immediately lashed out and
questioned why it was mandatory for children to wear masks in California schools, but not for guests at the billionaire
wedding of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty's great-granddaughter and Tobias Alexander Engel. "Why does @SpeakerPelosi insist
on children wearing masks when she's in more danger due to her age? Seems like she's not concerned, why are you?" one
person tweeted.
Where's
Gavin Newsom been? At Getty heiress's wedding. The Twitter-sphere, The Daily Mail, and even The
Sacramento Bee were looking everywhere for Gavin Newsom on Monday after the California governor canceled events and ducked
out of sight for a few days. Did he have COVID or a reaction to his recent booster shot? Nope. Newsom was
at the Ivy Getty wedding on Saturday at City Hall, a guest and two media outlets say. Getty is a billionaire oil
heiress and great-granddaughter of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi officiated the
500-person wedding under the grand rotunda of the closed City Hall.
Park in
Pelosi's district slated to receive $200M probed by top GOP senator. Senate Energy and Natural Resources
Committee ranking member John Barrasso, R-Wyo., probed the national park trust in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's, D-Calif.,
district on its federally required financial self-sufficiency. Barrasso sent the letter to Presidio Trust chair Lynne
Benioff regarding the trust's federal financial obligations. The Presidio Trust in San Francisco oversees the national
park and, per the legislation that established the trust, it must be financially self-sustainable.
Democrat
leader Nancy Pelosi rambles about "privileged scrub" and bird baths in stunning demonstration of cognitive
decline. If you thought fake president Joe Biden had mental problems, meet the Speaker of the House, Nancy
Pelosi. In a stunning, whirlwind tour of either stroke side effects or excessive alcohol consumption, Pelosi schooled
Joe Biden on "stupid" by rambling about birth baths and "privileged scrub," whatever that means. Her actual
words: So we are getting some bird and privilege. I think mostly we're getting privileged scrub. 'Cuz privileged
scrub is deadless to a bill. Bird, nah, is important, but you have to take it out. But privilege violation can take you
out. [Video clip]
Pelosi
Chaos Hits Peak With Incoherent Video. This video which was clipped from the press briefing that Pelosi gave
yesterday was something else. But in a way, it pretty much encapsulates the chaotic incoherence of the whole effort on
the Pelosi/Biden legislative agenda. What the heck is Pelosi saying here? We're not sure. The only thing we
can say is that as awful as she is, she isn't as bad as Biden. Consider how bad that is. [Video clip]
Pelosi
Plans to Keep the 'Spy on All Bank Accounts' Clause in the $3.5T bill. Democrats, now the party of the hardcore
Left, have a clause in the $3.5 trillion bill that will allow the government to look at any account making
transactions — like paying rent — of $600 or more. That takes in almost every American.
Politicians will be able to spy on everyone's account. They will know everything about you. At the same time,
they plan to hire up to 95,000 new IRS employees to look for people not paying their fair share. We have already seen
what these people do with power and how they use it against people who don't agree with them. What do you think they
will do with this kind of power? Will they cancel gun manufacturers? Abuse conservatives and when they run out of
them, abuse their own? I watched a recent Bill O'Reilly podcast in which he said it will never remain in the
bill. He's naive if he believes that. It's an important power grab for them. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has
been acting like a dicatator, was asked about it and she sounded pretty definite about it remaining in the bill. She
said the number is open to negotiations but not the clause.
Pelosi lectures
reporters, says they 'could do a better job selling' Build Back Better. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lectured
congressional reporters Tuesday [10/12/2021] on Capitol Hill for not doing a good enough job "selling" President Biden's
Build Back Better plan. A new CBS News poll revealed only 10% of respondents said they knew "a lot of the specifics" of
what's included in Biden's $3.5 trillion spending package. Asked about the low number of Americans informed on the
matter, Pelosi placed the blame not on the White House, but on the press. "Do you think you need to do a better job at
messaging, and going forward, how do you sell this?" CBS News' Nikole Killion wondered. "Well I think you all could do
a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you," Pelosi responded, saying the media has not done justice to the list
of items in the bill, such as Family Medical Leave.
Watters
probes Pelosi's wealth explosion, says she and husband seem to 'always know what the right investment is'. As
of 2020, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, and her husband, real estate developer Paul Pelosi, had accumulated a
combined $315,000,000 in wealth, and according to an investigation by Fox News host Jesse Watters, something about this
doesn't seem right. During a segment Saturday on Fox News' "Watters' World," he dug deep into her and her husband's
past and discovered nuggets of information suggesting corruption may be afoot. He started by noting that sometime after
Pelosi's husband opened the real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm Financial Leasing Services, Inc.,
he used his newly made "connections" to push her into politics, "helping her get elected to Congress in 1987."
Following her election to office, their wealth exploded. [...] The most recent wealth explosion occurred after she became
House speaker again in 2018. "That year, her financial disclosure report revealed a net worth of over 114 million.
Then in 2019, Pelosi's assets totaled up to a whopping 271 million. And in 2020, those numbers went up even more to
as high as 315 million bucks. Quite a lot of crumbs," Watters said. He then asked the question on everyone's
mind: "Where's the money coming from?"
'Watters'
World' investigates Nancy Pelosi's financial dealings up to $315 million in assets. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., has served in Congress for nearly 34 years and presently presides in a top-tier position as one of the most
powerful figures in the U.S. government. Amid a recent flurry of complicated decisions she's had to face as leader of
her caucus, Fox News host Jesse Watters launched a "Watters' World" investigation into her financial dealings during her
tenure in politics. Last week, the Speaker was unable to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill as progressives in her
own party signaled their disapproval. Watters condemned her policies, saying they're making it "harder and harder for
average Americans to accumulate wealth," shackling them with taxes and "destroying the dollar with reckless spending."
The current salary of a Speaker of the House sits in the low six-figures, yet Pelosi is one of the richest members of Congress.
Twilight
of the Democrat dinosaurs — Biden and Pelosi are finished. For a bill that supposedly cost
"nothing," Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi can't even persuade their own party to vote for it. [...] The Squad, which couldn't
care less what voters think beyond their own dead blue districts, have declared "my way or the highway" on government taxing
and spending to the moon, while a moderate blue-dog caucus of about 20, whose members aren't too public (out of fear of the
Squad), doesn't like this crap at all, knowing that its passage for each of them means that a Republican will take their seat
in 2022. So naturally, the whole thing has crashed. The spectacular failure of this $1-trillion spendathon,
supposedly on "infrastructure," as well as their Bernie Sanders-crafted $3.5-trillion pork "reconciliation," is now Biden's
and Pelosi's legacy.
Nancy
Pelosi Accused Of Being Drunk After Slurred Speech, Weird Outbursts During Press Conference. Conservatives are
accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being under the influence on Twitter after she exhibited strange behavior during a
press conference. A video clip of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) during a press conference has left many online
questioning whether or not she was sober at the time. In the video, Pelosi stutters, giggles, randomly says "hi" to
someone, and puts her mask on upside down before walking away from the podium in an exhibition of strange behavior that has
been making rounds on the internet.
Pelosi
Slips When She Talks About Whose Agenda 'Build Back Better' Is. [Scroll down] Meanwhile, when Pelosi
spoke to Congress today, she made a pretty big slip when she spoke about the Build Back Better bill. She said that
there was a requirement to pass the bill and "keep government open." "We have to do those imminently," Pelosi
stuttered. "More imminently to fully address the full Obama agenda of building back better."
[Video clip] Now, was that too much adult libation for lunch that made her misspeak? Or was she really
saying something there? It had a lot of people talking because there's often speculation on who the people are behind
Biden. It even trended on Twitter. Barack Obama had previously joked himself that if he could get someone to
front for him, he would.

election and pushing the narrative that Trump supporters are violent. [...] The documents released on the 6th provide
evidence that Pelosi's father was investigated by the FBI based on Kennedy's concerns. The results of the investigation were
provided to Kennedy and his brother Bobby, the Attorney General.
The Editor says...
I suspected in January that the government was doing something they didn't want anyone to notice, using the Capitol riot as
a diversion. Now we know what it was. You might hear a pin drop in a quiet room, but you probably won't hear a pin drop if it happens right after a
bowling ball drops. This move by the FBI probably wasn't the only (other) thing going on that day.
It's
Coming from Inside the House: STOCK Act Violations Pile Up for House Dems. Earlier this year, Speaker of
the House Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul drew the ire of watchdog groups when they made $5.3 million dollars exercising
options in tech companies that the Speaker regulates. The trade time was curious; the payoff was grand. The
Pelosis got away with, what many consider to be, a blatant example of insider trading. Using government knowledge for
personal gain is prohibited under the STOCK Act. It didn't stop Pelosi and it hasn't stopped her second in command,
either. Assistant Speaker of the House Katherine Clark, D-Mass., has failed to disclose $285,000 in transactions,
"including investments in Google's parent company Alphabet Inc.; Best Buy; First Solar; investment firm BlackRock;
pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline; data management company Iron Mountain; and water technology company Xylem Inc," Fox
News reports. The transactions were made on June 4th but not reported until August 15th — exceeding the
45-day reporting limit established by the STOCK Act.
Pelosi
Met By Hecklers During Stop in England. On Saturday [9/18/2021] during a her visit in the North of England,
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was met by angry English protesters who told her to "go back to Epstein Island" and "Trump
won!" [...] Pelosi is currently visiting the United Kingdom for the G7 Speakers meeting. During one of her first
speeches in the foreign country, Pelosi thought it would be a good time to trash Trump supporters while representing the
United States overseas. The speaker referred to the 80 million Trump supporters as a "cult" as she continued to divide
America and turn the world against former President Donald Trump and his supporters.
Capitalism has worked very well for Nancy Pelosi and her husband. Pelosi:
Capitalism hasn't served U.S. as well as it should. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said capitalism isn't
serving the U.S. as it should. On Friday at the Chatham House in London, the Democrat explained how the U.S. economy
hasn't benefited from capitalism. She insisted the U.S. can't have a system that benefits some by depending on the
exploitation of workers and the environment. "In America, capitalism is our system, it is our economic system, but it
has not served our economy as well as it should," said Pelosi. "And so, what we want to do is not walk away from it,
but improve it and make sure it serves us."
And now a few words in defense of capitalism: The
Deep Optimism Manifesto. [Scroll down] There is a general attack on capitalism these days, claiming that
greedy capitalists are destroying the world to make a profit. Degrowth is the new plastics. Wokeness is
winning. Doom and gloom is coming unless we change radically. I believe those arguments are based on faulty
assumptions and faulty models of the future. As we optimists see it, people don't understand how good things are and
how much better they will be. And we get called names for this! People get upset when they learn that the world
isn't about to end and children don't have to fear for their futures.

Pelosi Says Biden is 'Perfect' Because He 'Knows Foreign Policy!' Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi heaped
praise on Joe Biden in a recent interview where she declared the Commander-in-Chief "perfect" due to his extensive knowledge
of "foreign policy." "We're so fortunate that he did not win for President before when he ran, because we needed him
now. He's perfect for now. He knows his foreign policy, he was Chair of the Foreign Policy Committee. He
extends a hand of friendship to friends and foe alike," said Pelosi. [Video clip]
The Masking of the
Servant Class: Ugly COVID Images From the Met Gala Are Now Commonplace. Last month, a delightful event
was hosted by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for wealthy Democratic donors in Napa — the same wine
region of choice for Gov. Newsom's notorious dinner party — at which the cheapest tickets were $100 each and
a "chair" designation was available for $29,000. Video of the outdoor festivities showed an overwhelmingly white crowd
of rich Democratic donors sitting maskless virtually on top of one another — not an iota of social distancing to
be found — as Pelosi imparted her deep wisdom about public policy. Pelosi's donor gala took place as
millions face eviction, ongoing joblessness, and ever-emerging mandates of various types. It was also held just five
days after the liberal county government of Los Angeles, in the name of Delta, imposed a countywide mask requirement for
"major outdoor events." In nearby San Francisco, where Pelosi's mansion is found, the liberal-run city government has
maintained a more restrictive outdoor mask policy than the CDC: [...]

Archbishop Threatens to Excommunicate Her, Other Prominent Dems From the Church Over Abortion. Democratic
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is in danger of being excommunicated from the Catholic Church for her continuous support of
the murder of unborn children. Over the weekend, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, who just so happens to be the
archbishop of Pelosi's home diocese in San Francisco, California, wrote an essay in the Washington Post, announcing that
excommunication is a potential action to take against self-proclaimed Catholic Democrat leaders who support abortion.
In his piece, Cordileone urged Catholic politicians to oppose abortion, saying that "[y]ou cannot be a good Catholic and
support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings."

What took him so long? The archbishop has held his office for almost nine years.
Nancy Pelosi has been a U.S. representative since 1987.
Pelosi's
archbishop calls for ex-communication of pols now pushing for abortion. Is the Catholic Church finally showing
some leadership? Sure looks like it, with this Washington Post op-ed by San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone:
[...] The bishop in New Orleans wouldn't put up with a grave evil of racism in his parishes, and Cordileone is now showing
the same backbone. I think he had to, given that creatures such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as well as Joe Biden have
been so loud and extreme about their abortion advocacy. They aren't just quietly enabling abortion and saying they're
"personally opposed" anymore, as Democrats have attempted to weasel out with in the past, they're addicted to money and
powerful lobbies, and thus, speak the party line of groups such as Planned Parenthood now. It's time someone put a stop
to that runaway train, and one archbishop has now stepped forward. Too bad it's not all of them. But this op-ed
may just open the door.
Nancy
Pelosi Under Fire For Adding $200M Earmark For Presidio Park In San Francisco. House Republicans have been
doing whatever possible to stop the Democrats from passing their latest massive spending proposal. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) was called out for adding her own special projects to the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package. "It
wasn't 3.5 they voted for. It was nearly $5 trillion they just voted for this week," explained House Minority Leader
Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). "There is no longer a centrist Democrat. There is no longer a moderate Democrat.
Every single Democrat voted for this." This process is known as earmarking and Pelosi was recently called out by some on the
right for slipping a $200 million earmark into the package for the historic Presidio Park in San Francisco.
Pelosi:
House Will Vote to Codify Roe v. Wade in Response to Texas Heartbeat Law. Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D., Calif.) said Thursday [9/2/2021] that the House will vote to "enshrine into law reproductive health care for all women
across America" following the Supreme Court's refusal to block a Texas law that prohibits abortion after a heartbeat can be
detected. Pelosi's comments come after the Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision just before midnight on Wednesday
evening [9/1/2021] rejecting a challenge to a Texas law that prohibits the abortion of an unborn baby once a heartbeat can be
detected. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the Court's three liberal justices in dissent.

Rep. Releases Video Excoriating Biden, Pelosi: I Have Constituents Trapped In Afghanistan, Blocked By
Taliban. Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson (R) published a video to Twitter on Monday [8/30/2021] excoriating the
Biden administration and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Jackson said he has constituents "trapped in Afghanistan" who
are receiving no help from the Biden State Department, despite numerous dangerous stops at the Kabul airport. He also
slammed Pelosi for her inaction in seeking answers to the disastrous withdrawal.
Pelosi
and Co. Abandon Biden and Leave Town as Kabul Attacks Continue. Despite Americans being stuck in
Afghanistan and members of our military dying in attacks made on the Kabul airport, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other
House Democrats have decided now was a good time to close up shop, leaving President Joe Biden with the Afghanistan
mess. According to Fox News, Pelosi and the Democrats stayed only so long as to work on domestic legislative agendas
and then left. With the Senate also out, Biden and his advisors are the only Democrats around to deal with the
crisis. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy lambasted Pelosi and the Democrats over their seeming lack of concern as
to what's happening to Americans overseas: [...]
Speaker
Pelosi Jokes Around For 6 Minutes While Completely Ignoring the 12 US Servicemen Killed in Kabul Blasts. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday joked around for 6 minutes while completely ignoring the 12 US Servicemen killed in the
Kabul blasts. Pelosi on Thursday [8/26/2021] joined San Francisco Mayor London Breed, elected officials and community
leaders to commemorate Women's Equality Day. Meanwhile American blood is spilling in Afghanistan. Pelosi joked
around for 6 minutes after she walked up to the lectern.
Nancy
Pelosi's grotesque behavior after the bomb in Kabul was for a reason. One of the things that disgusted
conservatives following news of the bloody terrorist attack in Kabul that killed twelve Marines and one Navy corpsman was the
fact that Nancy Pelosi, during a public appearance in San Francisco, not only didn't mention, she was also in an
exceptionally jovial, joking mood. My bet is that this wasn't mere callousness on her part. Instead, she was
engaged in a form of gaslighting because she knows that many of her constituents pay little attention to the news and don't
want to hear negative things about Democrats. Here's Pelosi, a woman without a care in the world: [Tweet] I
believe that the reason Pelosi is behaving in this way is to keep her base from realizing that something bad happened.
It's a form of gaslighting that involves her shaping their reality through lies, not to drive them crazy, but to keep them
ignorant. She's getting help from the media too.
The
Real Reason Democratic 'Moderates' Are Revolting Over the Biden-Pelosi Agenda. The moderates don't trust Pelosi
to keep her word on passing the bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill that passed the Senate two weeks ago at the same
time as the House agrees to consider the budget bill. It's a delicate dance that Pelosi is trying to choreograph, with
the radicals not trusting her to deliver on the massive budget bill and the moderates not trusting her to keep her word on
voting for the infrastructure deal. Indeed, if the massive spending bill is passed by the House, many of the radicals
wouldn't see the need for an infrastructure bill. Conversely, the moderates don't want to be stuck voting for the
hyperpartisan spending bill without the infrastructure bill. It would be the kiss of death in swing districts, and it
would be a major selling point for any of their Republican opponents. Both groups feel they've been doublecrossed
before. Now, it's degenerated into a trillion-dollar game of chicken.
Afghanistan
eats Joe and Nancy's pork. On the night before Afghanistan collapsed, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and all the
bigfoot Democrats were in the catbird seat. Their $4.5-trillion stimulus package was in the bag with both houses of
Congress, and all that was left was the vote. Now things have changed. [...] The $1-trillion "infrastructure" bill,
along with its Bernie Sanders-crafted $3.5-trillion "reconciliation" bill, are falling apart fast. The Associated Press
is making no bones about it. Nancy Pelosi is begging her own moderates to play ball, and time is running out.
Nine Democrats are vowing to withhold votes, likely because they are hearing from voters, and Pelosi can afford to lose only
three.
After
swanky maskless party, GOP Rep dubs Speaker 'Gestapelosi' over 'unbelievable' House mask mandate. A Republican
House member is clapping back at Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her hypocritical requirement that all members wear masks though
video surfaced of her attending a swanky event near her home in California over the weekend where she and nearly all guests
were dining maskless and in close quarters. "Pelosi has decreed — she's like the Gestapo, I call her a
'Gestapelosi,' m-m-k? Gestapelosi has decreed that members must wear masks or get fined. Then, staff members can
be arrested and jailed. She is the Gestapelosi. It's unbelievable that she's doing this kind of stuff,"
Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, said during a presser Monday afternoon [8/23/2021].
During his Monday evening program, Fox News' primetime king Tucker Carlson also called out Pelosi over her insistence that
members of the House be masked while in the chamber ostensibly due to the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, though she, in her
personal life, seems less than concerned about the disease.
Overnight
Nancy Pelosi Changes House Rules to Pass Green New Deal $3.5 Trillion Spending Package While Everyone Distracted by
Afghanistan. If you remember how Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi forced former Representative Bart Stupak and the
19 Blue Dog democrats to cave on the Obamacare construct in 2010, then you have a solid reference point for what Joe Biden
and Nancy Pelosi are doing right now. As you are reading this Nancy Pelosi has pulled together her leadership group
overnight to change the House rules for legislative passage of the $3.5 trillion Green New Deal spending package under the
auspices of "infrastructure." This $3.5 trillion spending bill is in addition to the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill
that came from the Senate, and... she is using the $2 trillion budget package as the carrier for a slick "Deem and Pass"
maneuver. As we have seen before, right now Pelosi is changing the House rules to have a single vote on the current budget
proposal which will include a 'deem and pass' provision that adds the $3.5 trillion Green New Deal spending package to it.
Only
people 'of color' wear masks:Nancy Pelosi hosts a tony Napa fundraiser. House speaker Nancy Pelosi has hosted
another tony fundraiser for Democrats. It was in wine-country Napa Valley, of course, redolent of the Tuscan
countryside. [...] The all-white fat cats, who paid $100 to $29,000 a pop, are all seated in close quarters in that same
general region where Gavin Newsom held his unmasked French Laundry dinner, with, again, none of them wearing masks. And
the service staff? They're black, they're Hispanic, they're maybe Filipino. And to a person, they're all
masked. This is pretty crummy optics. Black and brown people wear masks; white people who make six figures
don't. It highlights the race and class divide in all of these COVID shutdowns promoted by Democrats.
Message: If you're poor, you're black, you're Mexican, you're Filipino, and you work for a low-wage catering company,
you're going to wear a mask as a sign of your servility, your condition of employment at all. If you don't, you're out
with the homeless.

according to video and tweets. A clip of the close-quartered fund-raiser was posted on Facebook by Democratic Party

dozens of unmasked people seated elbow to elbow at long luncheon tables as Pelosi gave a speech and masked waiters ambled
between the listeners. "All the servants fully masked," tweeted journalist Glenn Greenwald. "The almost-entirely

Pelosi Hosts "Super Spreader" Event In Napa For Maskless Old White Liberals. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(Calif.) was seen without her mask over the weekend at a Democrat Party fundraiser event full of unmasked attendees.
The event was hosted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in Napa, California, where Pelosi was seen
delivering remarks unmasked. The event was exclusively for old white liberals at a super spreader event while their
ethnic, masked staff wait on them hand and foot. [...] Notably, the only people seen wearing masks were the service staff,
highlighting the fact that Democrat elites see masks as reserved only for the peasant class. The event also reportedly
included pro-mask former Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, who apologized last year after getting caught without a mask
amid the statewide mask mandate she imposed.
With
Infamous "Wine Cave" Donor Help, Pelosi Greases the Palms of 9 Democrats and the West Coast Elites. Kathryn
Walt Hall is one of those blue-blooded, monied elites who own politicians through their largesse. Walt Hall and her
husband Craig Hall were the infamous "wine cave" purveyors behind the 2020 Primary election brouhaha with then-Presidential
candidates Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Liawatha). The couple hosted Mayor Pete for a $1,000 a
glass fundraiser for his campaign, and Sen. Fauxcahontas called him on it. [...] This couple, through their shell
corporation the Hall Financial Group, Inc., has given billions of dollars to Democrats since the 1980s, to make sure they
have a controlling interest in who will be the next President, Governor, Senators, and Congressmen. This last cycle, to
the tune of $50,000, they contributed to Dementia Joe's Biden Victory Fund. The couple has also hosted our Governor
Hair Gel for a few events, and other Democrat candidates and office holders who they considered malleable and influential
(remember Tom Daschle?)
Nancy Pelosi
snubs bipartisanship. Pelosi has made an ultimatum: The country will either get a bipartisan
infrastructure bill and a much larger Democratic megaspending bill or neither. Her majority will be the
collateral. The problem with our politics is that the fringes have become far more emboldened, and more powerful, than
the broad middle (center, center-right, center-left) that does still exist in U.S. politics. The enemy of this broad
middle, and all who yearn for pragmatism and compromise in politics, has a name: Nancy Pelosi.
Report:
Pelosi May "Sacrifice" Vulnerable Democrats to Advance the Liberal Swamp Agenda. According to a new report,
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi may "sacrifice" vulnerable Democrats in the House by cutting their campaigning short so
that she could advance far-left Democrat agendas. Politicians in the month of August are rewarded with a "recess" which
is usually used as campaigning time however Speaker Pelosi seems to have a different plan this time around. With
Democrats holding a slim majority in the House and their hopes of keeping that majority fading, Pelosi reportedly wants to
cut the House's recess short so that they can push through far-left agendas.
Salon
Owner Who Outed Maskless Pelosi Headlines 'Save Our Paychecks' Event. It's been nearly a year since San
Francisco salon owner Erica Kious lost her business after exposing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's violation of California's
COVID-19 lockdown rules to get her hair done. "I thought if I ever lost my business, I would lose it in an earthquake,"
Kious said Tuesday [8/10/2021], speaking at a salon in Fresno, California, for the first "Save Our Paychecks" event sponsored
by Heritage Action for America. "Never did I think I would lose everything I worked for by leftist politics.
Gone." Kious was traveling when she saw the video footage of Pelosi, who visited the now-defunct eSalon on Aug. 31.
"I went through the exact footage of her walking through my reception area with no mask," Kious said. "I literally felt
like she took a knife and stabbed me in the stomach. ... I know inside me what she did was wrong, completely wrong."
After her maskless visit to the salon made news headlines, Pelosi said: "It was clearly a setup." Kious flatly
denied the accusation.

Says She Is 'Very Confident' Democrats Will Win House In 2022. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Friday
she is "very confident" Democrats will maintain control of the House in 2022. "I'm very confident that we will win the
House," Pelosi said during her weekly conference on Capitol Hill. House Republicans would need to pick up around five
seats to reclaim the majority. Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) chairman Rep. Sean Patrick
Maloney reportedly told Democrats that the party needs to course-correct before 2022 by doing more to promote President Joe
Biden's agenda, sharing polling data with Democrats that showed Republicans with an edge, according to Politico.

Met With Police Officers Who Gave Shockingly Partisan Testimony About January 6. Democrat House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi met with Capitol and Metro Police officers who testified before the congressional "January 6 Commission," where the
officers delivered shockingly partisan and widely-doubted accounts of the protest events. Pelosi personally invited
Harry Dunn, a Capitol police officer, and Metro police officers Daniel Hodges and Michael Fanone to the House gallery for a
vote back in June, making it clear that Pelosi had those three officers handpicked. Here is a photo of Pelosi meeting
with Dunn, Fanone, and Hodges, alongside fellow leftist Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell.
Nancy
[is] Pelosi Repeatedly Seen Maskless After Ordering Masks Again in the Capitol. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) has been caught without a mask numerous times in the U.S. Capitol after the return of a mask mandate and threatening
anyone who opposes — even those who are vaccinated — with being arrested. On the first day of the
new mask mandate, where the members, staff, and visitors were being required to wear a "well-fitted" super mask, Pelosi (seen
in the video above) was in the House chamber, speaking at the speaker's podium without a mask, and wiping her nose with a
what looks like a Kleenex while also touching the area around her, as she is giving orders for others to wear the mask.
CRUZ:
'Nancy Pelosi Has No Authority' to 'Fine or Put People in Jail' for Not Wearing a Mask. Senator Ted Cruz
called-out Speaker Nancy Pelosi from the US Capitol Friday; saying the top Democrat "has no authority" to impose mask
mandates on members of Congress, their visitors, or staff. "Nancy Pelosi has no authority to disrespect the men and
women of Congress by threatening to fine them or put them in jail for not wearing a mask," posted Cruz on Twitter.
Representatives
Go on Offensive Against Pelosi's Mask Rule, Cite 27th Amendment. Will It Work? Three House Republicans
filed a lawsuit Tuesday [7/27/2021] against Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., after she enforced a mask mandate against
them. The three — Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.; Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.; and Ralph Norman,
R-S.C. — had fines deducted from their salaries after refusing to wear masks on the House floor. Among their
claims is an unusual one: that the mask rule violates the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. That amendment (sent to
the states with the original Bill of Rights in 1789, but was not ratified until 1992) reads: "No law, varying the
compensation for services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of representatives shall
have intervened." The plaintiffs argue that the mask rule violates the amendment because deducting a fine from their
salaries varies their compensation downward. Is their claim a winner? Almost certainly not.
Republican
Staffers Defy Pelosi: Maskless 'Beer' Pong, Cigars in Capitol Hallway. Republican staffers defied Speaker
of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday evening by playing beer pong (with water) in a Capitol office hallway, smoking
cigars, and socializing — without masks, courting arrest by Capitol Police. As Breitbart News reported
Thursday [7/29/2021], Pelosi ordered Capitol Police to arrest any staff and visitors who refused to comply with new mask
mandates, which she imposed earlier in the week, regardless of vaccination status. She ordered the Capitol Police to
report members of Congress who refused to comply to the House Sergeant at Arms for disciplinary action. In response,
several GOP members of Congress defied Pelosi's orders by allowing staff to work without masks, or remotely.
Nancy
Pelosi Orders the Arrest of Those Without Masks and the Capitol Police Play Along. Throughout the "back the
blue" craze of the Trump era, one thing became abundantly clear that largely quelled it — police follow
orders. That includes orders that are patently absurd and violate the basic freedoms of individuals. Yes, law
enforcement officers generally do good work and are to be respected for that, but if you are expecting them to stand up to
their authorities to protect the rights of individuals, they are almost always going to disappoint you. Take that
revelation and do with it what you will. [...] Another example of that has emerged within the Capitol of the United
States. Nancy Pelosi has ordered the Capitol Police to arrest people who aren't wearing masks. [Tweet] If the
USCP weren't such a ridiculously politicized department, they'd scoff at the notion of using manpower to arrest people for
not wearing masks, especially when the edict is coming from a purely political place. There is no science behind the
idea of further mask-mandates anywhere. That's especially true regarding the Capitol Building, where almost every
person in attendance is vaccinated and has lasting protection from the effects of COVID. Pelosi put this mask-mandate
back into place for one reason — to poke at Republicans. No data exists to actually supports the mandating
of masks, much less in the Capitol.
Pelosi's
Jan. 6th Committee Is A Charade That Smacks Of A Cover-Up. Mark Twain once mused that if you find yourself on
the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. There will be no pause or reflection by the House select
committee investigating the January 6th attack on the Capitol. That became abundantly plain as the hearings opened on
Tuesday. Nancy Pelosi won't allow it. Her narrative of what happened that terrible day will be the only one
permitted — all other facts [notwithstanding]. Pelosi's Democrat party is the majority in the House of
Representatives, albeit narrowly. As Speaker, she rules like a tyrant. She abides no dissent, tolerates no
differing opinion, and is contemptuous of the truth. Only her truth is indulged. Any contrary evidence will be
suppressed or covered up. Pelosi has no interest in the full story of what actually happened on January 6th.
She blames the great villain Donald Trump for everything and will countenance no other inquiry or outcome. You must
believe her or else.
'Expect
endless retaliation': House riot committee provokes partisan war. When Congress reconvened following the Jan. 6
riot at the Capitol, Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican House Administration Committee ranking member Rodney
Davis met in the chamber and agreed that Congress should call for a bipartisan investigation into the unprecedented events of
that day. More than six months later, House lawmakers will launch a riot investigation that has provoked a partisan
battle that now threatens any future cooperation between the two parties. "This is a sham committee that's just
politically driven by Speaker Pelosi," Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, said Thursday [7/22/2021].
Pelosi last week took the unprecedented step of blocking two of McCarthy's appointees to a 13-member select committee that
appears to focus on the role of then-President Donald Trump and other Republicans leading up to and during the attack on the Capitol.
Democrats
Realize There Are Consequences to Their Actions. Meanwhile, the House is a horror show of radical left
policies, from federal takeovers of state elections to bills that essentially ban independent contractors. Making the
entirety of the United States into California seems to be Rep. Nancy Pelosi's goal. That California is currently a
disaster doesn't seem to play into her calculation. But it's not just policy that Democrats are pushing the envelope
on. When it comes to the inner workings of the House, Pelosi has thrown all caution to the wind, with the latest
example being her select committee to investigate January 6th. In a deeply partisan move, she's taken the ability away
from Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to seat the Republicans he wants on the committee, a historical courtesy that was given
to Pelosi when she was in the minority.
Nancy Pelosi's
on her last legs. Nancy Pelosi used to point her angry finger at Donald Trump, but she leaves him in the dust
when it comes to busting norms, dividing Congress and causing mayhem. If anyone is to blame for the hyper-partisanship
in Washington these days, it's the spiteful House speaker. She behaves more like a Mafia don waging a gang war than a
dignified, fair and honest presiding officer, which is what the speaker's role requires. Pelosi abuses her power in
ways that once were unthinkable. Her speakership has been the antithesis of Lincoln's entreaty to "the better angels of
our nature." Everyone in Congress — and, by extension, the nation — has been sullied by the spite and
vitriol she has injected into the political sphere. There is no grace or Christian charity, just the barren wasteland
of the zero-sum game, power for power's sake. It's made all the worse by her increasingly frantic claims to be a
"devout Catholic." The fact that all this venom is packaged in the shape of a small, elderly, expensively shod woman
has bestowed upon her an element of deference her actions do not deserve. But last week there were a couple of signs
that she's finally worn out her welcome.
Republicans
Take Major Action Against "Authoritarian" Pelosi, Push to "Vacate" Her Chair. On Friday [7/23/2021], the House
Freedom Caucus sent a bombshell letter to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), urging him to remove Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi from her position as Speaker after her "authoritarian" behavior in recent weeks. The letter came in
response to drama that took place this week relating to the formation of the January 6 riot Select Committee. In their
letter, the caucus told McCarthy they "respectfully request that you pursue the authorization of the House Republican Conference,
pursuant to Conference rules, to file and bring up a privileged motion by July 31, 2021, to vacate the chair and end
Nancy Pelosi's authoritarian reign as Speaker of the House."

'Devout
Catholic' Pelosi Calls Taxpayer Funded Abortion an 'Issue of Fairness and Justice for Poor Women'. When I went
through RCIA the teacher said life is important. We cannot compromise on life. Protecting life starting at the
room has been in our Catechism since the beginning. The left wants to eliminate the Hyde Amendment since it bars the
federal government from using taxpayer money to fund abortions except to save the life of the mother. A reporter asked
"devout Catholic" Nancy Pelosi about their crusade to fund infanticide with our money. She tried to deflect, but the
reporter eventually forced out an answer from her. At first, Pelosi said: "We think it's the right thing to
do. It is something that many of us have been concerned for a long time as an issue of health, as an issue of health,
an issue of fairness, and we will send the bills over to the senate." The reporter clarifies his question: "No, it
is a bill to prohibit taxpayer-funded abortions. To have money go to taxpayer-funded abortions."
The Editor says...
To recap: "Devout Catholic" Pelosi says having the taxpayers pay for fetal homicide is "an issue of fairness," and "the right thing to do."
Archbishop
to Pelosi: Devout Catholics Do Not Support Abortion. An archbishop on Thursday [7/22/2021] responded to
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claim that she is a devout Catholic who supports abortion. "Let me repeat: no one can
claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it.
The right to life is a fundamental — the most fundamental — human right, and Catholics do not oppose
fundamental human rights," San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said in a statement. Cordileone is the
archbishop of Pelosi's home diocese. Pelosi was asked during a press conference earlier in the day why Democrats have
declined to allow a vote on a bill that would block taxpayer-funded abortions. She said access to abortion is a health
issue for many American women, "especially those in lower-income situations and in different states, and it is something that
has been a priority for many of us a long time."
Pelosi
Proves What a Sham Her Jan. 6 Commission Truly Is With Her Latest Move. If you didn't already know that a "Jan.
6 Commission" controlled by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was going to be a partisan witch hunt, Pelosi just confirmed it
with her latest move. Pelosi had appointed Democratic choices to the Commission including Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY),
so you already know how biased it was going to be, stacked with anti-Trump people. It was already stacked, with
Democrats having eight choices for members and Republicans only getting five. But when Republicans announced their
choices for the Commission, Pelosi vetoed two of them: Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
In a statement, Pelosi reiterated the lie that the three-hour riot on Jan. 6 was the worst domestic assault on American
Democracy since the Civil War.
Tucker:
Pelosi knows why Jan 6 riot happened, why won't she tell us? Instead of launching a committee for the purposes of political theater,
U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) herself could shed a lot of light on what happened at the Capitol on January 6. Instead, the
investigation will resemble "MSNBC with subpoena power." That is how Tucker Carlson assessed the situation in another powerful editorial
delivered on Wednesday evening [7/21/2021] on his eponymous Fox News show. Pelosi could save the committee, if not the entire Congress and
America itself, a lot of time by answering a few basic questions, Carlson said. These include the following:
• Why did the House sergeant-at-arms, a Pelosi subordinate, allegedly deny the Capitol police chief's
repeated requests for National Guard backup when everyone knew a huge protest was coming?
• Why are authorities sitting on many hours of surveillance video?
• Who killed U.S. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt?
• What role, if any, did FBI informants or operatives play on January 6?
Nancy and Paul
Pelosi Making Millions in Stock Trades in Companies She Actively Regulates. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
is the sixth-richest member of Congress, according to the most recent financial disclosure statements filed in 2019. As the
California Democrat has risen through party ranks and obtained more and more political power, her personal wealth has risen
right along with it. Pelosi "has seen her wealth increase to nearly $115 million from $41 million in 2004," reports
the transparency non-profit group Open Secrets. Even by the standards of wealth that define that legislative
body — "more than half of those in Congress are millionaires" — the wealth and lifestyle of the
long-time liberal politician and most powerful lawmaker in Washington are lavish. And ever since ascending to the top
spot in the House, Pelosi and her husband, Paul, keep getting richer and richer. Much of their added wealth is due to
extremely lucrative and "lucky" decisions about when to buy and sell stocks and options in the very industries and companies
over which Pelosi, as House Speaker, exercises enormous and direct influence.
Pelosi's
husband bought up to $11 million of Big Tech stocks as House moved on reform legislation. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, bought up to $11 million worth of Big Tech stocks in the last two months as an anti-tech
package of bills makes its way through the House at the same time. In May and June, Pelosi purchased $4.8 million worth
of Google shares, up to $1 million worth of Amazon call options, up to $250,000 of Apple call options, and up to $5 million
of call options for Nvidia, the large semiconductor, graphics, and electronics company, according to a financial disclosure form filed last
week. A call option is a financial contract that allows a buyer the right to purchase a stock or asset at a set price within a specific
time period.
Pelosi's
husband bought millions of Big Tech stocks as House bills moved; she claims she didn't know. Left leaning media
outlets have shamelessly blown up the news surrounding Trump Organization indictments this week, but they have collectively
and conveniently remained hushed on news that Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi's husband invested $11 million in stocks
closely mirroring House priorities. A July 2nd disclosure revealed that Paul Pelosi purchased $4.8 million in Google
shares, up to $1 million in Amazon call options, $250,000 in Apple call options, and up to $5 million in call options for
semiconductor and electronics company Nvidia. The call option allowed Paul to purchase the stock at a set price within
a set time period.
The Editor says...
I can't buy a loaf of bread without Mrs. Editor finding out about it. No reasonable person could believe that
Nancy Pelosi was unaware that her husband bought $11 million worth of stock.
Huge,
Troubling Expansion of the Capitol Police Coming, Across the Country. The Capitol is still locked down, still
closed to Americans. One has to ask why. The Democrats are going to try to use the 'investigation' of the
three-hour Capitol riot by a select committee to continue an effort to connect Republicans to the event and bash them going
into 2022. All that is troubling. But now there's something that perhaps is even more troubling because of the
clear potential for abuse. [Tweet] According to the New York Times, the U.S. Capitol Police have announced they are
now planning to expand operations outside Washington "beginning with the opening of field offices in California and Florida"
but the plan is to open "several additional regional offices." Their spokesman says they need to monitor and quickly
investigate threats against lawmakers.
Nancy
Pelosi Directs Capitol Hill Security Police Units to Regional Offices in California and Florida, Future Locations
Coming. In a remarkable display of how committed the Democrat party is to utilizing the narrative of domestic
extremism for their own benefit, Nancy Pelosi is placing satellite field offices for the DC Capitol Police in key regions
around the country. When we consider the FBI has field offices all over the country, you might ask: why does the
Capitol Hill police need to expand beyond Washington DC? Essentially, what Nancy Pelosi is doing is expanding the
federal law enforcement mechanism of the legislative branch into specific areas where they can investigate political
opposition armed with legal authority. This is a concerning shift in events; however, there is a likelihood such a move
is connected to the larger political goal of enhanced federal enforcement to quell any rebellion, while working in concert
with the DOJ.
20
Questions for Nancy Pelosi About January 6. No one has milked the events of January 6 more than House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). She set the official narrative early and often, a storyline her scribes in the news media have
dutifully repeated without question or scrutiny. "[Y]esterday, the president of the United States incited an armed
insurrection against America, the gleeful desecration of the U.S. Capitol, which is the temple of our American democracy,"
Pelosi lamented in a hyperdramatic press conference the day after the raucous protest. She accused President Trump of
"sedition" and urged his cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him just two weeks before he officially left the
White House. Nearly every word in her opening statement that day is untrue. The president didn't "incite" the
violence; it was not an insurrection, armed or otherwise, and the only person who used a firearm was a still-unidentified
Capitol police officer who killed an unarmed female veteran.
Pelosi
cancels the Fourth of July. During an average year, the U.S. Capitol welcomes 2.5 million visitors, but House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has refused to reopen the Capitol to visitors — school groups, families, or anyone hoping to
see the legislative branch in action. To make matters worse, Pelosi's refusal even to allow visitors on the Capitol
grounds resulted in the outdoor concert regularly held on the Capitol's west front to celebrate our nation's independence
being canceled. What could have been a unifying celebration of our Independence Day and defeat of COVID-19 will instead
be virtual performances streamed online. Washington, D.C., has fully reopened. Americans traveling to Washington,
D.C., this summer can attend sporting events, go to concerts, take their families to the National Zoo, see monuments, and
visit most Smithsonian museums on the National Mall. The U.S. Capitol should be open for tours. Unfortunately,
keeping the Capitol closed is just part of the speaker's larger effort to exert more control over the House.
Nancy
Pelosi and Democrats Block Bill to Ban Tax-Funded Abortions for 20th Time. Over the last week, Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and House Democrats have blocked a bill to ban taxpayer-funding of abortions 20 times. Each day over the last
week, multiple pro-life Republican House members have asked the House for unanimous consent to bring the pro-life bill to the
floor for a vote. Each time, Democrats have refused. On Monday [6/28/2021], Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-OK),
Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-PA), and Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI) asked for unanimous
consent to get a floor vote on H.R. 18, The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. As they had 16 times previously,
Democrats refused a vote to protect taxpayers from being forced to fund killing babies in abortions. The bill would
make the Hyde Amendment permanent law and protect taxpayers from being forced to fund the killing of unborn babies in
abortions. The Hyde Amendment, which has strong public support, prohibits taxpayer funding for elective abortions in
Medicaid and other federal programs.
What? No mention of global warming? Pelosi:
'Root Causes' of Capitol 'Insurrection' Were 'White Supremacy, Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia'. Nancy Pelosi spoke
today [6/245/2021] about "the root causes" of the January 6 Capitol riot: "the white supremacy, the anti-Semitism, the
Islamophobia, all the rest of it that was so evident when you see a sweatshirt on one of the people saying, 'Camp Auschwitz.'"
She repeated the common and yet completely unsubstantiated claim that the Capitol incident constituted an "insurrection," and
once again claimed that Trump "incited" the "insurrection," in flagrant disregard for the fact that Trump told the
demonstrators to remain peaceful. Her list of the three "root causes" of this sham "insurrection" were, in effect,
a list of those that she and the Biden Justice Department intend to go after, and the charges they will hang over their
heads in the Stalinist show trials that could be in the offing.
Nancy
Pelosi and Democrats Deny a Vote Six Times on Bill to Ban Tax-Funded Abortions. Six times in one day, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats rejected calls for a vote on a bill that would permanently ban taxpayer-funded abortions
in Medicaid and other federal programs. On Thursday [6/24/2021], Republicans asked for a unanimous consent request on
the House floor to demand a vote on the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (House Resolution 18), sponsored by U.S.
Rep. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey. However, Democrats who control the House rejected their requests. The bill
would make the Hyde Amendment permanent law and protect taxpayers from being forced to fund the killing of unborn babies in
abortions. The Hyde Amendment, which has strong public support, prohibits taxpayer funding for elective abortions in
Medicaid and other federal programs. Since 1976, it has saved an estimated 2.4 million babies' lives, including about
60,000 each year, according to the Charlotte Lozier Institute.
Joe
Biden, Nancy Pelosi Wear Masks to Funeral Service Despite Being Fully Vaccinated. President Joe Biden and a
number of Democrats were spotted wearing masks at a funeral service for former Sen. John Warner (R-VA) on Wednesday
[6/23/2021], even though they are fully vaccinated. The president, First Lady Jill Biden, and House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) were spotted wearing masks at the service, as well as Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT). Some advocates of
the vaccines criticize vaccinated people who keep wearing masks, arguing it raises doubts about their effectiveness.
The Centers for Disease Controls have advised that fully vaccinated people can resume activities as normal both inside and
outside, except for separate regulations for those using public transportation and airplanes.
The Editor says...
Do vaccines work, or do they not? Are they still wearing masks because they got injected with sterile water
instead of an experimental vaccine? That would be the simplest explanation. The second-simplest explanation
would be that the mask is a political symbol — like a Nazi armband — rather than a medical device.
Pelosi
reportedly hasn't dropped a dime after promising to personally match campaign donations. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi has allegedly not spent a single dime matching campaign donations even though she promised personally to do so in at
least 50 emails to her supporters. The emails were sent by Pelosi for Congress, the House Speaker's campaign committee,
between January and April according to Axios who conducted an analysis of a political email archive maintained by researchers
at Princeton University. FEC records indicate that Pelosi has not given any of her personal wealth to her campaign.
The slight goes beyond breaking a promise made repeatedly. It may create a legal mess for the Speaker of the House if a
recent Department of Justice decision is heeded.
Report:
Pelosi Deceives Donors, Does Not Match Donations. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) campaign committee has
repeatedly deceived donors by personally promising she would match campaign contributions but has not matched a single cent,
according to a report. Pelosi has been using a popular deceptive tactic used in political fundraising to gather more
donations. According to the report by Axios, the tactic that has been under intense scrutiny is to promise
donation-matching. Pelosi's campaign has reportedly gone a step further by the speaker promising the contribution
matching would come from her personal fortune. But, reports show Pelosi has not made a single contribution from herself.
No
Nancy Pelosi, Christianity and Abortion Are Not Compatible. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has long been
the target of faithful Catholics who have questioned her ability to take communion or even be called a Catholic.
Regarding the issue of communion, Pelosi recently said, "I think I can use my own judgement on that." Her Archbishop,
Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco responded with something that should be in the heart and mind and on the tongue of
every professing Christian. He said that abortion isn't a matter where we can use our own judgement. Noting the
body count of tens of millions of dead unborn babies, he stated that the support and promotion of abortion is "cooperating
with evil." The Archbishop made another astute observation. All we have to do is look around to understand that
society is in a deep crisis. The looting, burning, and killing have dramatically increased. Archbishop Cordileone
reminded us that "violence begets violence." And the violence he was talking about is abortion, which has had a corrosive
effect on the fabric of our nation. Its impact on babies, mothers, fathers, and society as a whole cannot be overestimated.
Pelosi
Goes Mask-Free at White House Event Hours After Imposing Strict Rules for Congress. Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi confused millions of Americans this week; attending a crowded White House event without her face-mask just hours after
accusing mask-less Republicans of turning Congress into a COVID "Petri Dish." "A maskless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., mingled indoors at a White House event Thursday while still enforcing coronavirus mask mandates on the House floor
that amount to $500 fines," reports Fox News.
Marjorie
Taylor Greene Tees off on 'Mentally Ill' Nancy Pelosi Over Mask Silliness. As if we didn't already know that
dictatorial House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and renegade Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) aren't exactly BFFs —
they're not even occasional lunch buddies — Greene took Pelosi out behind the woodshed on Thursday [5/20/2021]
over the Speaker's continuing insistence that members wear masks in the House Chamber. In direct contradiction of the
latest "scientific advice" — Democrats love "science" when it supports their various narratives and ignore it when
it does not — from the CDC, mind you, the COVID font of knowledge most revered by the Democrat Party.
Pelosi
on Catholic bishop's comments about receiving Communion: 'I can use my own judgment on that'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi dismissed Catholic bishops who do not believe she should receive Communion due to her views on abortion.
"I think I can use my own judgment on that but I'm pleased with what the Vatican put out on that subject. Did you read
that?" Pelosi, D-Calif., told a reporter at her weekly press conference. "It basically says don't be divisive on the
subject. Thank you," Pelosi said before exiting the conference. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will
convene for a national meeting next month, with plans to vote on drafting guidelines for Communion. Some bishops have
been pressing for President Biden and other public figures who support abortion to be excluded from the sacrament. The
head of the Vatican's doctrine office issued a warning to the conference to deliberate carefully to avoid sowing division.

shares photo of wrong black player in botched attempt to honor Willie Mays. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to
honor baseball legend Willie Mays for his 90th birthday Thursday, but those plans were initially fouled up after the
81-year-old pol tweeted out a smiling photo of herself — and Willie McCovey. McCovey, another black Hall of
Famer from the San Francisco Giants, also played around the same era as the Say Hey Kid. Pelosi apparently has smiling
images of herself with both men and the mistaken photo was swiftly swapped out for a one of her with Mays.
Can
We Put Pelosi out to Pasture Already for What She Just Did to Willie Mays? In general, I don't believe in age
limits for political positions, because it restricts people who can be competent well into old age. But she's 81 at
this point and suffers from the same thing that Joe Biden does: functional incoherence. That's on top of their
already horrific policy positions.
GOP
reps calling on Pelosi to pay metal detector fine: 'All members must live under the same rules'. Republicans on
the House Administration Committee are calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to pay the fine for not going through metal
detectors to get onto the House floor after her office confirmed that she hadn't used them to access the floor in
February. Reps. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., and Bryan Steil, R-Wis., sent a letter to acting
House Sergeant-at-Arms Timothy Blodgett requesting he levy fines against the speaker for not following the security protocols
all members are required to follow to get to the House floor. The lawmakers pointed out that metal detectors, or
"magnetometers," were placed at "three entry points" to the House chambers while others were changed to be exit only.
They said C-SPAN footage and the speaker's office confirmed Pelosi had used a "closed entrance" to enter the House chambers
from the Speaker's Lobby.

Says, "DC Statehood Runs in My DNA" as She Holds Up a Photo of Her Father Meeting with Eleanor Roosevelt.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday said attacking the US Constitution and pushing for DC statehood is in her DNA.
The Framers of the Constitution never intended for DC to be a state, but the Democrats are going for the power grab anyway.
The Democrat-Communist party knows they don't have the support to amend the Constitution so they are pushing for DC statehood through
a vote in Congress. The Democrats stole the White House and the Senate in 2020 with massive voter fraud so now they are fiercely
working to pack the Supreme Court and pack the Senate. "I said this District of Columbia statehood is in my DNA," Pelosi said
holding up a photo of her late father meeting with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
TV
Networks Skip White Lady Pelosi Thanking Black Man Floyd for Dying. In a bizarre Tuesday [4/20/2021] press
conference following the guilty verdict of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thanked Floyd for "sacrificing" his life (as though it was his choice) and crying out for
mother. It was a disgusting display that went completely unmentioned by the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC,
though ABC's World News Tonight was busy falsely claiming Republicans were against police reform. Fortunately,
Fox News Prime Time rotational host and Federalist co-founder Ben Domenech wasn't going to let Pelosi's gross
exploitation of Floyd's death slide. "[I]t seems to me that the way the totalitarian left approaches these issues, they
are designed — their whole approach is designed to permit racial outrage, to create division, and then exploit it
for political purposes," he said to Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce [...].
Joe
Biden Reacts to Chauvin Verdict and Describes a World That Doesn't Exist — Except Where Democrats Rule. [Scroll
down] The most insane reaction to the [Derek Chauvin / George Floyd] verdict belongs to Nancy Pelosi, who literally
thanked George Floyd for getting murdered. As if he intended to get killed that day. As if his murder has led to
some sort of good outcome. More than two dozen Americans, mostly minorities, were killed in the riots that followed his
death. Rioters did billions of dollars of damage to cities all over the country. Our national fabric has been
torn asunder, and Pelosi has done precisely nothing to bring it back together. She divides at every single
opportunity. It's long past time for the divisive, always enraged Pelosi to depart the political scene.
Nancy
Pelosi Celebrates Chauvin Guilty Verdict by Thanking George Floyd for Dying. Lebron James "was crying,"
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was ebullient, and Senator Tim Scott got some facts wrong, but nobody had a stranger
reaction to the guilty verdicts in the Derek Chauvin trial than Nancy Pelosi. The Speaker of the House quickly arranged
a presser outside on Capitol Hill after the guilty verdicts were read on Tuesday afternoon [4/20/2021]. Members of
Congress were arrayed behind Pelosi as the House Speaker looked prayerfully up to the sky and, in a voice muffled by her
mask, said in her treacly way: ["]Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice. Your name
will become synonymous with justice.["]

President Joe Biden on Thursday to accept more refugees into the United States, claiming that America has a "moral
responsibility" to do so. Pelosi told reporters during a press conference at the Capitol, "We have a moral
responsibility in the world — as every other country does, too — to receive refugees who have a
well-founded fear of persecution or harm [if they] return to their own country."
Ridiculous:
Speaker Pelosi Actually Sent Biden a Reminder to Give an Address to Congress. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is actually
reminding "President" Biden what his job is. On Tuesday, Pelosi sent a reminder to Biden to address the nation at a
joint session of Congress. "Nearly 100 days ago, when you took the oath of office, you pledged in a spirit of great
hope that 'Help Is On The Way,'" she wrote. "Now, because of your historic and transformative leadership, Help Is
Here!" "In that spirit, I am writing to invite you to address a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday, April 28, to
share your vision for addressing the challenges and opportunities of this historic moment," Pelosi wrote.

Growth of U.S. 'might necessitate' expanding the size of the Supreme Court. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said
Thursday that the growth of the U.S. population and the size of the economy "might necessitate" expanding the size of the
Supreme Court. New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler and Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Ed Markey formally
introduced the Judiciary Act of 2021 on Thursday [4/15/2021] that would add four justices to the Supreme Court, which would
create a liberal majority 7-6. The court now has what is considered a 6-3 conservative majority.
The Editor says...
The U.S. grew quite a bit in the 20th century, and nobody ever said that was a problem. The House of Representatives
has a size proportional to the population, but the Executive and Judicial Branches do not. Speaker Pelosi is

Pelosi
Hijacks Everything for Her Agenda — Even the Holocaust. One would expect the commemoration of
something as tragic and sacred as the Holocaust be done in a respectful manner and not be manipulated for political
goals. Such was not the case this week with Nancy Pelosi's statement sent out on Holocaust Remembrance Day; known in
Israel as Yom Ha'Shoah. Instead, she exploited the murder of six million Jews by Hitler and his regime into a
manifesto of Democrat false talking points and the demonization of millions of Americans associated with conservatism and who
voted for President Trump. It was sacrilege and shameful.
Nancy
Pelosi and senior Dems kill their own party's bid to pack the Supreme Court with four more liberal judges.
Nancy Pelosi effectively killed an upcoming Democrat proposal to expand the Supreme Court by four seats by saying Thursday
[4/15/2021] she would not bring the bill to the House floor. The bid from a group of Democratic lawmakers would change
the number of justices for the first time in 160 years and wipe out the conservative majority built under Donald Trump.
'Do you support [Rep.] Jerry Nadler's bill to expand the Supreme Court by 4 seats and would you commit to bringing that bill

Says She Has "No Plans" to Bring Nadler's Bill to Expand Supreme Court by Four Seats to House Floor. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday morning [4/15/2021] said she does not support Jerrold Nadler's bill to expand the
Supreme Court by four seats. According to a report by The Intercept, Congressional Democrats, with House Judiciary
Chairman Nadler leading the charge, will unveil the new court packing legislation on Thursday. When asked about
Nadler's bill, Pelosi said she didn't completely reject the idea of packing the Supreme Court. She said she supported
Joe Biden's commission to study the proposal.
Mr.
Pelosi's shrewd investments raise suspicions. Paul Pelosi, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, is one heck of
a trader! He purchased about $10 million in Microsoft shares through call options on March 19th when the stock was
trading at $230.35. Days later, Microsoft was awarded a contract by the U.S. Army valued at $22 billion and inked a deal to
buy an artificial intelligence firm. It's stock has soared about 12% since Mr. Pelosi's initial investment.
Now, it could be Mr. Pelosi is just a skilled investor — he owns and operates Financial Leasing Services
Inc., a San Francisco-based real estate and venture capital firm, where he and his wife have amassed a personal fortune of about
$114 million. It also probably doesn't hurt Mrs. Pelosi is the most powerful woman in the U.S. House, tasked with
overseeing, regulating and appropriating monies to the executive branch that go to the very firms Mr. Pelosi invests in.

A Street Fighter': Pelosi Says She Would Have Fought Capitol Rioters. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said
Tuesday [4/13/2021] she would have fought Capitol rioters should they have entered the House chamber, according to USA
Today. Pelosi and other members of Congress were in the House chamber on Jan. 6 when a group of rioters entered seeking
to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election. Pelosi was asked by USA Today what she would have done
if she wasn't evacuated in time, to which she responded, "Well, I'm pretty tough. I'm a street fighter. They
would have had a battle on their hands." Pelosi held up her four-inch stiletto heels and said, "I would have had these,"
according to USA Today.

Infrastructure Plan Could Boost Pelosi's Investment Portfolio. President Joe Biden's $2 trillion infrastructure
plan includes a provision to boost electric vehicle use — which House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) stands to
personally benefit from. Pelosi's husband Paul purchased between $500,000 and $1 million in Tesla investments in
December. Biden's infrastructure plan will lead to a windfall for Tesla and its shareholders. On Wednesday, Biden
unveiled his sweeping plan, which sets aside $174 billion for electric vehicle subsidies, charging stations, and other
provisions designed to push more Americans into electric cars over a decade. Democrats are anticipating a contentious
and lengthy battle over the infrastructure package. With a narrow Democratic majority and no support from Republicans,
Pelosi will need to marshal every vote she can to get the bill passed. It will fall on the Speaker to unify
progressives who worry the bill is inadequate with moderate Democrats who worry the bill's tax hikes could imperil their
reelection chances. Pelosi is one of the richest members of Congress, with a net worth valued around $115 million.

Nancy Pelosi,
The Real Insurrectionist. The media are aglow with news that two U.S. Capitol Police officers are suing Donald
Trump for inflaming, encouraging, inciting and directing a riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6. It fits their narrative.
But this doesn't and therefore gets no coverage: The real insurgent is the speaker of the House. Two days after the
regrettable events at the Capitol, which no serious or honest person would call an insurrection, Democratic Speaker Nancy
Pelosi called U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Her objective was to strip Donald
Trump of his constitutional executive authority. [...] Judicial Watch believes "the call between the House speaker and the
nation's top military officer — regarding the powers of a sitting president — set a 'dangerous
precedent' that could affect future presidencies." So concerned was the group that it filed a Freedom of Information Act
lawsuit against the Defense Department, which so far hasn't responded.

Nancy Pelosi's Effort to Steal GOP House Seat Blows Up In Her Face. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's effort
to steal GOP House Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks has completely blown up in her face after Democratic challenger Rita
Hart withdrew her challenge. Miller-Meeks had previously won her district in Iowa by 6 votes however Hart then ran to
House Democrats including Pelosi to try to steal the seat from Miller-Meeks. "I have made the decision to withdraw my
contest before the House Committee on Administration," Hart announced on Wednesday.

opponent, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, released a statement on Twitter just minutes ago declaring that she was withdrawing her
petition to the House Administration Committee because she couldn't effectively combat the wave of negative PR she and her
fellow Democrats brought on themselves over the issue.

Nancy
Pelosi On Trying To Steal Iowa House Seat: I Am The House. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended her
decision Thursday to continue offering her blessing to a Democratic probe into a contested Iowa House race certified by
bipartisan state election officials after multiple recounts in Republicans' favor. Failed Democratic candidate Rita
Hart lost the race in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District to freshman Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks by a mere
six votes. Despite Miller-Meeks serving in the House as the certified winner upon multiple recounts, Hart has continued
to contest the results with a direct appeal to the lower chamber, bypassing state avenues for challenging a race.
Pelosi
says it's never too late to set November's election straight. It's hard to quit when you're ahead. That's
why, in trying to pick off the House seat of Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa), Democrats effectively re-opened the
whole November election. If Republicans act on this, they will turn defeats into victories. Many close races need
to be repeated because, in as many as 30 states, elections were not conducted by the rules but, instead, were done in ways
that favored the Democrats. Widespread use of absentee ballots and drop boxes never had the required approval of state
legislators. This includes the key swing states, where Republican majorities in the state legislatures still have the
power to hold repeat elections. People think it's too late after the vote is certified. We can thank Pelosi and her
House Administration Committee for telling the world it's never too late — although it is none too soon, either.

Says It Is Her Right To Seat And Unseat Any Member Of Congress She Wants But Can Pelosi Do That? Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday [3/25/2021] downplayed concerns from centrist Democrats who warned party leaders against potentially
overturning the election result of a closely contested House seat in Iowa. The House Administration Committee is considering
a challenge from Democrat Rita Hart, who is contesting the results in Iowa's 2nd District after the state certified that Republican
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by just six votes. Pelosi maintained that the House has the authority to adjudicate
contested elections[.] After a recount, Iowa certified the tally and Miller-Meeks was seated in January. Pelosi today
argued that she's not obligated to seat certified election winner: If I wanted to be unfair I wouldn't have seated the Rep
from Iowa because that was my right on the opening day. I would have just said, you're not seated, and that would have been
my right as Speaker to do.

Thinks She's Queen and Can Declare the Winner of Iowa Congressional Race. The race in Iowa 2 was declared some
time ago now, with Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks defeating the Democrat Rita Hart by six votes. Miller-Meeks was
certified by Iowa as the winner after a recount was done and after a court decision declared Miller-Meeks the winner.
Hart could have challenged the decision in the Iowa courts but instead, she decided to try to get the Democratic House to
overturn the results and declare her the winner knowing that she likely wouldn't have prevailed in any further challenge in Iowa.
The
Iowa steal: To Democrats, 'democracy' means unbridled majority power. Democratic candidate Rita Hart is
trying to steal a U.S. House seat in Iowa. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is helping her do it. Pelosi wants to
overturn Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks's very narrow win in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District. Her efforts are so
blatantly partisan, dishonest, and anti-democratic that a few members of Pelosi's own party caucus have come out against
her. "Losing a House election by six votes is painful for Democrats," wrote Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, the
first congressional Democrat to voice firm opposition to this scheme. "But overturning it in the House would be even
more painful for America. Just because a majority can, does not mean a majority should."

What?
Pelosi Says Illegal Immigrants are "Legitimate Heirs" Of Founding Fathers. During a speech on Thursday
[3/18/2021], House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the illegal immigrants brought by their parents are the "true and
legitimate heirs of our founders." With that logic, you could make the argument that anyone in the world that comes to
the United States with absolutely no ancestors in this country is also an heir of the founding fathers. [...] The speech
echoes the basic leftist view that The United States of America is not the homeland of those men and women who came here
centuries ago to build up a nation from scratch, but a nation of immigrants where everyone is entitled to the fruit of
the labor of the ancestors of many Americans. Many of these ancestors were farmers from England, Germany, and other
European countries who came here to build the nation, expecting nothing given to them by the government. The leftist
and progressive idea is that this nation is open to anyone and everyone of any culture, religion, or background, regardless
of what Americans who have been here for generations prefer.

[#1] "Aspirations for a better future for [one's] children" is not a uniquely American trait. It is more or less universal,
is it not? [#2] This country was not founded (nor is it now operated and maintained) for the benefit of those who would
sneak into it illegally, now that the U.S. became wealthy and successful. [#3] Some fraction of those who are immigrating
to the U.S. (legally or otherwise) are trying to escape from Mexican or Central American hellholes, and really are yearning to be
free. The rest, I perceive, are just coming here for free stuff.
Yes, it sends a message, but that's not it. Pelosi
says citizenship for illegals sends message to world: 'We value the diversity of America'. House Democrats on
Thursday hailed the expected passage of two bills that would grant citizenship rights to millions of illegal immigrants
already in the U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called it a sea change in the nation's stance on immigration. "We
say to the world we are making a very big difference in how we value the diversity of America," she said at her weekly press
conference at the U.S. Capitol.
Speaker
Pelosi Has a Familiar Person to Blame for Biden's Border Crisis — Donald Trump. Speaker Nancy Pelosi
has a familiar scapegoat for Biden's border crisis: Donald Trump. On ABC's 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos,
the Speaker made it clear who she thinks is responsible for the migrant surge. [...] The most humanitarian thing the
Democrats could do for the world is ensure that the United States remains a beacon of freedom and hope. It should
export free markets and the rule of law to other countries, instead of importing their impoverished masses. That would
be vastly more effective and compassionate than letting millions of illegal immigrants into the country. Then again,
how else would the Democrats make up the millions of votes they would lose due to their disastrous policies?
Speaker
Pelosi is Confronted About Trying to Steal Election, Her Answer is Breathtaking. Speaker Nancy Pelosi was
confronted on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" about the election she is trying to steal. [...] The hypocrisy is
simply breathtaking. Speaker Pelosi just led an impeachment against Donald Trump for purportedly 'inciting' an election
when he was merely arguing that the election was 'stolen.' All that Donald Trump had sought was due process in tight
election races, so that legal votes were counted and illegal votes were tossed out.
Pelosi:
Climate Change Causing 'Humanitarian Challenge' at the Border. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on
ABC's "This Week" that climate change has contributed to the surge of migrant children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
Pelosi said, "There are more children, about 600, 700 more children, unaccompanied children coming over the border.
This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us. What the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border,
and they are working to correct that in the children's interest. [...]" [...] She added, "My most recent trip to the
northern triangle, that would be Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador. You saw the impact of climate change. These
people were leaving because of the drought. They couldn't farm, and they were seeking other ways to survive. [...]"
The Editor says...
Ms. Pelosi offers no evidence (nor is there any to be had) that illegal immigration is motivated by climate change,
or any proof that the climate on the Mexican side of the border is any worse than the climate on this side.
You can vote all you want. The elites will decide who wins. Pelosi
Says She's Open to Overturning Republican Win in Iowa District. The Democrat-run House of Representatives is
open to overturning a tight Republican victory in an Iowa Congressional district, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
on Thursday [3/11/2021]. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) defeated Democrat Rita Hart by six votes during
the Nov. 3 election. When asked about a scenario in which Democrats would unseat Miller-Meeks, Pelosi said it was a
"hypothetical" situation but later said it's possible that it could happen. "Well, I respect the work of the committee,"
she told reporters in her weekly press conference. "I did see, as you saw in the press, what they decided to —
and they were following my, as I read it, the requirements of the law as to how you go forward. And how you go forward is
the path you're on and we'll see where that takes us. But there could be a scenario to that extent. Yes."
Pelosi's
perverse 'love' excuse for Biden's border disaster. Showing just how far from reality she operates, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday waved off the growing border disaster by explaining that President Joe Biden's policies are
all about a "love of children." "I trust the Biden administration's policy to be based on humanitarian and love of
children rather than political points or red meat for their — for their Republican base," she said.
More: "The difference between this administration and one before is great in terms of how we meet the needs of these
children," including having "a humanitarian reception for them wherever they are." Reality check: Biden's policies
and irresponsible rhetoric have prompted a surge of unaccompanied children crossing the border.
Pelosi
Hit With Lawsuit Over Phone Call To General Trying To Prevent Trump From Accessing Nuclear Codes. Government
watchdog group Judicial Watch announced a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for access to a telephone call between
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and General Mark Milley shortly after the Capitol riots. The call was revealed in a letter
from Pelosi to Democrat lawmakers in which she described an attempt to prevent an "unhinged" President Trump from accessing
the nuclear codes at the time. Judicial Watch alleges that the Department of Defense has not provided any response to
their FOIA request, which was filed on January 11th.
NRCC
Poll Reveals Which Lawmaker Is The 'Most Unpopular Elected Official in the Country'. In what might not surprise
anyone, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the most unpopular elected official in the country. A new survey from the
National Republican Congressional Committee found that Republicans are in a strong position to take back the House in 2022,
in part because Pelosi is so unpopular in every "key" subgroup, including women, Hispanics, and union households.
Judicial
Watch Is On the Case, Ferreting Out More Info on Pelosi Coup. Back in January, we wrote about the effort by
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) to take away President Donald Trump's military authority with an underhanded secret reach
out to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark A. Milley. [...] The Speaker of the House doesn't have any right to
interfere in the chain of command between the president and the military and had they acceded to her wishes there could have
been a big problem. There's no way any of that was proper or even close to being constitutional. But thankfully,
Judicial Watch is on it and isn't letting it go.
Judicial
Watch Wants to Know More About Pelosi's Coup Attempt. Government watchdog Judicial Watch wants to know more
about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's behavior and actions on January 8, 2021, when she called General Mark Milley in an attempt
to take away then President Trump's military authority. The group has issued a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit
against the Department of Defense for details of the call. The lawsuit demands "any and all records regarding,
concerning, or related to the telephone call between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and General Mark Milley on or about January 8,
2021," and "any and all transcripts, recordings, and/or summaries of the call, as well as any other records produced in
preparation for, during, and/or pursuant to the call." Judicial Watch is also looking for "any and all additional records of
communication between Gen. Milley and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi between November 1, 2020, and the present."
Pelosi's
'kids and Joe' story was incomprehensible: We do not say open sesame, we say ... open Biden'. Every year,
the House Democrat Caucus holds an Issues Conference in the early spring, and this year was the same save for one glaring
difference. Thanks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, this year's conference turned into a stunningly sycophantic and
horrifyingly cringe ode to President Joe Biden. During the event — which, to be clear, was the same event
where the White House cut Biden's feed after he told Pelosi that he'd be "happy to take questions" from her
caucus — the House speaker introduced the president to her caucus by praising him endlessly. The whole
thing, from beginning to end, was pure sycophancy. [Video clip]
$140
million 'Pelosi subway' axed from Senate COVID bill: parliamentarian. Funding for a rail project near House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's California district that Republicans denounced as wasteful was removed Tuesday from President Biden's
$1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill. The Senate parliamentarian ruled the $140 million appropriation wasn't allowed
under the so-called Byrd rule that polices unrelated items in budget reconciliation bills. Republicans singled out the
rail project as an example of unrelated "pork" in the bill, which is being rammed through Congress without Republican support
using special rules that allow a simple majority vote in the Senate.
Dems
justify Pelosi call for majority control of Jan. 6 commission, because Republicans are 'delusional... dangerous'
people. While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cited precedent and prerogatives of current presidents to justify
putting a majority of Democrats on a so-called "1/6" panel to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, others in her party have
another reason why they don't want to seat many Republicans. Quite simply, some Democrats say, they don't trust the
post-Trump GOP to seriously probe the incident because they believe, without evidence thus far, that some Republican members
were either in on it or responsible for it. "We do not owe delusional deniers a role or a platform in a commission
designed to try to ferret out extremism and violence to prevent its recurrence," said Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.),
according to The Hill. "These people are dangerous."
Pelosi,
Who Claims to Oppose Gerrymandering, Funnels $300,000 to Democratic Gerrymandering Group. After calling for an
end to partisan gerrymandering, House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) quietly funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to
former attorney general Eric Holder's effort to redraw electoral maps in favor of Democrats, filings show. Pelosi's
leadership PAC, PAC to the Future, pushed $300,000 to Holder's National Democratic Redistricting Committee late last
year. In 2019, Pelosi said partisan gerrymandering efforts "compromise the integrity of our democracy." Holder's
group is gearing up for a once-a-decade redistricting process that significantly influences which party controls Congress.
It will serve as a data and legal hub and as a go-between for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and state
legislatures, according to Politico.
It's
possible that Trump supporters fell into a trap on January 6. Dinesh D'Souza did a podcast pointing out Nancy
Pelosi's peculiar behavior regarding events at the Capitol in the days leading up to January 6. In the five weeks since
then, Pelosi has turned Washington, D.C. into an armed, walled city and is working with the White House to crack down on
dissenting views — meaning any views that run counter to the Democrat party narrative. There's something
weirdly un-American about what we're seeing now. [...] D'Souza points out something we've all noticed, which is that, on
January 6, many of the people peacefully walked and gawked through the Capitol after having been invited in —
and treated respectfully — by the relatively small number of Capitol police officers on duty. If you've ever
visited the Capitol in the past, you know that's not how it ordinarily works. Even stranger is the fact that Capitol
police officers, who expected to be pulling extra duty, given that everyone knew that large numbers of Trump-supporters would
be flooding D.C., were instead sent home for the day. Additionally, D'Souza points out, when Trump offered 10,000
National Guard troops to help out because the rally was in town, both those in charge of the Capitol and D.C. mayor Muriel
Bowser rebuffed the offer. As speaker of the House, it's inconceivable that Pelosi wasn't part of this decision.
Who
was Nancy Pelosi's father? FBI released 60-year-old files on Jan. 6. While the nation's attention was
focused on the events transpiring at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the FBI was quietly releasing files from 60 years ago
concerning an investigation into the father of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The files detail a two-month investigation
into Thomas D'Alesandro Jr., a Maryland politician who served in a long career in Congress and as mayor of Baltimore, Just
the News noted in a Feb. 19 report on the FBI files. The investigation was ordered by the White House after President
John F. Kennedy has said he planned to appoint D'Alesandro to a position on a government watchdog board that reviewed defense
contracts. A routine FBI name check revealed "allegations" against D'Alessandro, according to a Feb. 6, 1961 teletype
from "FBI Director." The director at the time was J. Edgar Hoover.
Amid
Capitol riot, FBI released files from Kennedy-era investigation into Nancy Pelosi's father. While Washington,
D.C. was riveted Jan. 6 on events at the U.S. Capitol, the FBI quietly released a trove of files from an "urgent" —
yet seemingly controlled — investigation 60 years ago into Nancy Pelosi's father. The files reveal the results
of an intense two-month investigation into Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr., a Maryland politician who served in a long career as a member of
Congress and mayor of Baltimore. John F. Kennedy's White House ordered the investigation after JFK planned to appoint
D'Alesandro to a government post. A routine FBI name check revealed "allegations" against D'Alessandro, according to a
Feb. 6, 1961 teletype from "FBI Director." The director at the time was J. Edgar Hoover.
Speaker
Pelosi, when will you answer these 13 security questions? Livid about what she called the "failure at the top"
in the wake of the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., insisted that the
sergeant-at-arms for the House of Representatives be fired. He subsequently resigned and Pelosi appointed an interim
sergeant-at-arms. The Senate made a similar move. Pelosi also moved to fire the chief of the Capitol Police.
[...] At a press conference on Jan. 7, Pelosi said, "There was a failure at the top of the Capitol Police, and I think
Mr. (Steven) Sund — he hasn't even called us." Who is ultimately "at the top of the Capitol Police?"
Pelosi knows she is. She and the Senate leader, though they don't manage day-to-day operations, have ultimate authority
over Capitol security. They failed.
House
Republicans demand answers from Pelosi on security decisions leading up to Capitol riot. Top Republicans on
several committees are demanding answers from Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding security decisions made leading up to and on the
day of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6. House Administration Committee Ranking Member Rodney Davis, House Judiciary Committee
Ranking Member Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer and House Intelligence Committee Ranking
Member Devin Nunes sent a letter to Pelosi, D-Calif., on Monday, saying that "many important questions" about her
"responsibility for the security" of the Capitol on Jan. 6 "remain unanswered." Davis, Jordan, Comer and Nunes pointed to
claims made by former Capitol Police Chief Steve Sund, that he, on Jan. 4, approached the sergeants at arms to request the
assistance of the National Guard. Sund, in a letter to Pelosi last month, said the former Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving
said he was concerned about "the optics" and didn't feel the "intelligence supported it."
Worshipping
At The Altar Of Power. Despite professing their Catholicism, both Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and
President Joe Biden publicly support abortion. It is no accident that neither Pelosi nor Biden would have the power
they now wield if they opposed abortion as their professed faith requires. But they too have made a choice to kneel at
the altar of power.
Pelosi
Has Meltdown, Walks Away From Podium, Then Comes Back For Another Meltdown. Trump has been found not guilty
after another useless impeachment sham, and Democrats are [angry]. The most upset, however, is far-left House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi. After Trump was acquitted by a vote of 57-43 on Saturday [2/13/2021], Pelosi had a total meltdown in
front of reporters during her press briefing. Then when everyone thought she was "finished", she got triggered and came
back to the podium for another Oscar-worthy freakout.
Furious
Nancy Pelosi crashes press conference to tear into Mitch McConnell, rage at 'cowardly' Republican senators who voted to
acquit Trump. Nancy Pelosi crashed the House impeachment manager's post-trial press conference Saturday
[2/13/2021] to rage against Mitch McConnell and call out Republicans' 'cowardly' vote to stop Donald Trump from being
convicted for 'incitement of insurrection'. 'It had not been my intention to come to this press availability,' Pelosi
said as she spoke to reporters on the fifth and final day of the Senate proceedings. 'But what we saw today was a
cowardly group of Republicans who apparently have no options because they were afraid to defend their job —
respect the institution in which they serve.' 'But why I came over was because I listened to Mitch McConnell,'
Pelosi continued.
Pelosi
rules out censure after Trump acquittal. After the Senate voted to acquit former President Trump, Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Saturday [2/13/2021] ruled out censuring the former president — an idea that several Republicans had floated
in recent days. "Censure is a slap in the face of the Constitution. It lets everybody off the hook, it lets
everybody off the hook," Pelosi told reporters following the Senate impeachment trial at the Capitol. "Oh, these cowardly
senators who couldn't face up to what the president did and what was at stake for our country are now going to have a chance
to give a little slap on the wrist?" Pelosi said while slapping her own wrist.
The Editor says...
All that constant hatred must really take a toll on Nancy's health. Maybe she should dial it back a little.
Move on. Time for healing. Forward!
Pelosi
Banned Congresswoman's Military Officer Son From Attending Her Swearing-In. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
would not allow Republican New York Rep. Claudia Tenney to have her son present in the gallery for her swearing-in
Thursday, Tenney told the Daily Caller. Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer sent out a tweet Thursday
morning with the news that Pelosi denied Tenney's request to let her son, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, watch her get
sworn in from above the floor in the gallery. The Daily Caller contacted Tenney about the news, to which she confirmed
it was true. "I guess he's considered a risk," Tenney told the Caller. Tenney said that Pelosi told her the news
about her son not being allowed to watch from the gallery in a "text from staff and in person," adding that there were "several
exchanges." Tenney's son received a phone call from former President Donald Trump before he deployed to Iraq in 2017.
Pelosi:
US Capitol Police 'Martyrs' Will Get Congressional Gold Medal. U.S. Capitol Police officers who protected the
building during the events of Jan. 6 will receive the Congressional Gold Medal, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
announced on Feb. 11. Officer Brian Sicknick, who was involved in confronting rioters at the Capitol, died the day after
the breach, while Capitol officer Howard Liebengood and Metropolitan officer Jeffrey Smith committed suicide days after the
riot. Eugene Goodman, another officer, was hailed for successfully guiding Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) away from the
mob and back to the Senate chamber on Jan. 6. "It's been such a sad time for us, but as we see what is being presented,
we also see the extraordinary valor of the Capitol Police who risked and gave their lives to save our Capitol, our democracy,
our lives. They are martyrs for our democracy. Martyrs for our democracy, those who lost their lives," Pelosi
told reporters in Washington during a press conference.
The Editor says...
The officers who committed suicide are not martyrs. The officer who went back to his office and suffered a stroke is not a
martyr. The officer who did his job and escorted RINO Romney back to the Senate chamber is not a martyr. A martyr is
someone who is killed because of his or her (religious) beliefs. Nancy Pelosi is using the unfortunate deaths of three police
officers as political leverage, in order to amplify the myth that her political opponents are all dangerous extremists.
Public
Servants or Parasites? When did politicians and federal employees start calling themselves "public servants"?
[...] Was Nancy Pelosi serving the public interests when she withheld COVID-19 relief for months — just to deny
President Trump a win? Was she also serving her constituents when she bought stock in Tesla just days before President
Asterisk signed an order directing all agencies to switch to electric cars? There's a term for that — "insider
trading." Being the civic-minded public servant she is, I'm sure she'll be sharing her windfall with her constituents.
Why
are Democrats Pushing Impeachment? Nancy Pelosi is one of the snidest and most petty representatives in
Congress. I have personally heard from several Democratic representatives their beliefs that Pelosi held up critical
immigration and COVID legislation that they privately supported, for no other reason than that it might help Trump look
good. They supported the holdups because they feared retribution from Pelosi. If you want to hear Pelosi's
partisanship, listen for yourself to her opening comments during the beginning of the House debate on Arizona's electoral
votes. Pelosi is sufficiently petty to demand impeachment as a final boot out the door. This is my personally
favored reason and stands as a testament to the characters of Chuck Schumer, Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney and others who have
joined them. While several junior Democrats may have done so out of fear, Democratic leaders and Republicans had no
good excuses. But there could be another reason; one that fits well with Democrats' recent militarization of D.C. and
gross violations of our 1st Amendment rights to speech and to assemble and the redress of grievances. [...]
'That's
it!': Nancy Pelosi abruptly ends weekly press conference after snapping at reporters. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi failed to hide her rising irritation as she abruptly ended her weekly press conference after snapping at
reporters. The California Democrat testily called one reporter's question simply a "waste of time" after being asked
about former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial and then angrily responded to another query about stripping
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her House committees. Pelosi may have been wearing a mask as she held her weekly
briefing, but her ebbing patience was on clear display as she appeared to be done with the questions towards the end of the
meeting.
Republican
congressmen Louie Gohmert and Andrew Clyde fined $5,000 each for refusing to go through a new metal detector in the
Capitol. Two Republican congressmen, Louie Gohmert and Andrew Clyde, have been issued fines of $5,000 each for
refusing to pass through the metal detectors that were installed outside the House chamber following the Capitol riot last
month, multiple news outlets reported Friday [2/5/2021]. The House officially passed new rules this week that include a
$5,000 fine for bypassing the security measure on the first offense and $10,000 fines for additional offenses.
GOP
pols want Pelosi to pay $5K for ignoring her own metal detector rules in Capitol. Hours after The [New York]
Post revealed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi docked $5,000 each from the pay of two GOP congressmen for flouting her new
metal detectors, a group of Republican pols demanded she pay the same fine for the same offense. GOP members of the
Committee on House Administration made the tit-for-tat demand Friday night, claiming Pelosi had been seen on Thursday [2/4/2021]
entering the House Chamber without going through the metal detectors she herself had ordered installed after the Jan. 6
Capitol riot. "Yesterday at approximately 9:59 a.m. multiple members observed the Speaker of the House entering the
House Chamber without completing security screening," the members wrote to the House acting sergeant in arms.
Noxious Nancy's
cynical timing. Nancy Pelosi took hypocrisy to new heights during the memorial for the police officer who died
after the Capitol riots — and that's saying something, for her. The newfound faux reverence for law
enforcement from the House speaker and her "defund the police" comrades after cheering on and inciting violence against cops
most of last year is grotesque. Despite Pelosi's nauseating insincerity as she presided over the two-day commemoration
of Brian Sicknick, the dignity and grace of his grieving parents and police colleagues mercifully elevated the honors high
above tawdry political opportunism. Because, of course, what else is it but cynical opportunism of Pelosi to wait 27
days after Sicknick's death to offer his family the opportunity to bury him with full honors, less than a week before her
second impeachment show trial of Donald Trump hits the Senate.
Nunes
claims powerful forces are shielding Pelosi from tough questions about poor Capitol security. House
Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes suggested Monday that Speaker Nancy Pelosi ought to be more heavily
scrutinized for an apparent lack of security ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, but she's been protected by the establishment
and social media majors. "Ultimately, she's responsible, OK, whether or not her staff or her sergeant of arms, you
know, she's the mayor of the capitol. It's a big responsibility," the California Republican told Just the News' John
Solomon. Nunes referenced reports that Capitol Police had requested support ahead of the date when a joint session of
Congress was set to meet to count electoral ballots and then-President Trump was scheduled to address a large rally.
That support included National Guard troops and protective fencing around the building.
Pelosi
slammed for 'inciteful' rhetoric after calling pro-2nd Amendment GOP lawmakers 'enemy within'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's use of inciteful rhetoric shows no signs of abatement, as the California Democrat who previously referred to
then-President Donald Trump as a "domestic enemy" called Republican lawmakers the "enemy within." The reason for this
egregious slander is because some GOP lawmakers want to carry a firearm — see Second Amendment. Continuing
to exploit the storming of the U.S. Capitol earlier this month with extreme hyperbole — it wasn't an attempt to
overthrow government — for maximum political value, Democrats are working hard to demonize and dehumanize the GOP.
"I do believe, and I have said this all along, that we will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the
enemy is within the House of Representatives, a threat that members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside,"
Pelosi said Thursday [1/28/2021] while speaking to reporters.
Paranoia: Terrified
members of Congress demand funds to hire 24-hour armed guards or local police protection at their homes and demand their
addresses are kept secret. Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted armed Republican members of Congress as 'the enemy
within' the House of Representatives on Thursday as lawmakers asked for additional funds for security amid increasing threats
to their safety. 'We will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the House
of Representatives,' she conceded at her press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday [1/28/2021]. Asked to specific who she
meant by the enemy within, Pelosi forcefully responded: 'It means that we have members of Congress who want to bring guns
onto the floor and have threatened violence on other members of Congress.'
'Enemy
is within the House': Pelosi warns of GOP security threat. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that House
Republicans pose a threat to Democrats, and she pledged additional federal money to boost security in the Capitol.
Pelosi said Congress must pass a supplemental spending bill to provide funds "for security for members, when the enemy is
within the House of Representatives of a threat that members are concerned about, in addition to what is happening outside."
Pelosi and Democrats fear Republican members of Congress carrying guns. The California Democrat has installed metal
detectors at the doors to the House chamber, prompting protests from GOP lawmakers. When asked to elaborate on the
enemies comment, Pelosi told the Washington Examiner, "It means we have members of Congress who want to bring guns on
the floor and have threatened violence on other members of Congress."
So much for harmony and unification. Speaker Pelosi
labels Republicans 'the enemy within'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is under fire for labeling Republican
lawmakers as "the enemy within." On Thursday, the top Democrat called for better security at the U.S. Capitol and baselessly
accused Republicans of endorsing political violence. Pelosi appeared to refer to remarks by congresswoman Marjorie
Taylor-Greene (R-Ga.) who said she would bring a gun to the capitol to protect herself. The House Speaker's remarks are
widely seen as a call for a political purge against Republicans.
Hatred has
pickled Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi is on a hatred rampage. The proximate cause is Donald Trump, but he, like
Melville's white whale, is only the trigger. Captain Ahab will die rather than look at the hatred festering inside of
him. And he will destroy the entire ship, just as Pelosi is doing to Congress. She has hunted President Trump for
four years. Impeaching Trump after his presidency is unconstitutional, without cause, and [...] crazy. Our
history books will excoriate the House during her reign. A Russian hoax and two fake impeachments are more important
than getting COVID relief to American citizens. Pelosi is driving the Republic to destruction. She spent our
$32 million for the Mueller investigation, on a fake Steele dossier leaked by Hillary Clinton. Trump's Russian collusion,
it turned out, was all a lie. Yet, Joe Biden's Ukraine and China collusion, it turns out, are very real. Biden
daily threatens our national security with his compromised position and earned wealth from these two countries, but the Left
ignores that real and present danger.
Pelosi's
big Tesla stock buy raises ethics questions. A watchdog group called out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a very
profitable Tesla stock deal shortly before the Biden administration released plans to make the federal automobile fleet
electric. Last month, Paul Pelosi, a wealthy venture capitalist and husband of the California Democrat, bought up to $1
million of Tesla stock when the price was roughly $640.34 a share. The price had shot up to $838 a share by Thursday
[1/28/2021] on the NASDAQ exchange. Tesla stock has been a darling of Wall Street for years, and the company stands to
reap huge profits if the federal government moves to an all-electric fleet.
Nancy
Pelosi's Recent Stock Purchase Raises Ethical and Legal Questions. Nancy Pelosi's latest financial disclosures,
revealed over the weekend, show that she purchased 25 Tesla call options with a $500 strike price and an expiration date of
3/12/2022 on December 22, 2020, paying between $500,000 and $1 million for the option. There were other purchases
of AllianceBernstein Holdings, Apple, and Walt Disney on the disclosure, but the Tesla purchase is raising eyebrows, as Chris
Katje of Yahoo! Finance noted, "as arguments could be made that the companies stand to benefit from new President Joe
Biden's agenda." On Monday [1/25/2021], Joe Biden announced his "Buy American" executive order that includes a plan to
replace the U.S. government's fleet of cars and trucks with U.S.-assembled electric vehicles. Tesla, General Motors,
and Nissan all produce electric vehicles in the United States.
Joe
Biden Signs Executive Order to Make All Federal Vehicles Electric. President Joe Biden signed an executive
order Monday to phase out the federal government's use of vehicles that run on gas and replace them with ones that run on
electricity. The process is part of Biden's "Made in America" executive order, which the president claims will create
one million additional jobs in the auto industry in America.
I'm sure this is completely unrelated: Nancy
Pelosi's husband has plowed up to $1 million into bullish bets on Tesla stock. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
husband has placed up to $1 million worth of bullish bets on Tesla stock, the politician revealed in a financial
disclosure form last week. Paul Pelosi, who runs an investment firm, bought 25 call options on Tesla stock with a
strike price of $500 and an expiration date of March 18, 2022. He spent between $500,001 and $1 million on
them on December 22.

Woman
accused of stealing Pelosi's laptop may be destroying evidence: feds. The Justice Department said it was
concerned that the Pennsylvania woman accused of stealing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's laptop during the US Capitol riots
might be destroying evidence — and encouraging others to do so. Lawyers for the department said during a
hearing Monday they believe Riley Williams changed her phone number and deleted her Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit,
Telegram and Parler accounts, CBS Pittsburgh reported. Williams, 22, was arrested on Jan. 18 after her former romantic
partner accused her of taking a laptop or hard drive from Pelosi's office with the intention of selling it to the Russians,
authorities have said. She was charged with entering a restricted building and violent entry and disorderly conduct on
Capitol grounds, according to Department of Justice records.
The Editor says...
Perhaps she will get the same punishment Hilliary Clinton got for destroying the evidence on her secret email server.
Pelosi's
Past Comes Back To Haunt Her — She Once Praised Unionists Storming State Capitol Of Wisconsin.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) own words have come back to bite her as it's been revealed that she once praised
the unionist who stormed the Wisconsin state capitol. This comes as she's leading the charge to impeach former
President Donald Trump for supposedly inciting the Capitol riots earlier this month. In 2011, unionists stormed the
Wisconsin State Capitol as they tried to block a vote on collective bargaining reform, according to Fox News. Despite
the fact that Pelosi has been vocal about condemning the Capitol riots in which a rightwing mob stormed the Capitol to
protest the election results, she was singing a very different tune a decade ago when Democrats were the ones doing the storming.

Cuccinelli Claims Pelosi Asked For 'Crew-Manned Machine Guns' In Washington. Acting Deputy Homeland Security
Secretary Ken Cuccinelli told Fox News' "The Story" Tuesday [1/19/2021] that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked for
"crew-manned machine guns" to be a part of security forces in Washington, D.C., ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's
inauguration. Cuccinelli and anchor Martha MacCallum were discussing the presence of 25,000 National Guard troops in
the nation's capital after pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol building Jan. 6. "A division," Cuccinelli said,
responding to MacCallum's assertion that the number of troops is greater than the number in Afghanistan and Iraq. "You
have a division. The last up of thousands of these troops was requested by the speaker through the Capitol
Police. She even wanted crew-manned machine guns in Washington. That was rejected because there's simply no use
for that in a security arrangement for a civilian undertaking. Just — so some of this has gone beyond any
legitimate security need."
The Editor says...
Nancy Pelosi doesn't like guns — especially machine guns — unless her people are pointing them at us.
Acting
DHS Deputy Secretary: Pelosi Wanted 'Crew-Manned Machine Guns in Washington — That Was
Rejected'. Acting DHS Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli told Fox News's "The Story with Martha MacCallum" on
Tuesday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi requested more National Guards be sent to Washington, D.C., even requesting
"crew-manned machine guns" — a sharp contrast between how she reacted when President Donald Trump wanted to use
the military to deal with the violence from nationwide Black Lives Matter protests. "Violence has no place and violence
must be addressed," Pelosi told National Public Radio's (NPR) "All Things Considered" in June 2020. "But there is no reason
for the U.S. military to be called out for this." MacCallum noted that 12 members of the National Guard were pulled
from their duty in D.C. for what was described as inappropriate texts or social media.
"I'm
Not Worried About That"; Pelosi Doesn't Care That Another Trump Impeachment Would Undercut Biden's "Unity" Message.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she's not worried about the affect that an impeachment trial
would have on "unity" in our country. "You mentioned unity and a message of unity yesterday," the reporter began to ask.
"Are you at all concerned about moving forward with an impeachment trial that could undercut that message and alienate all the
conservative supporters of the President?," he added. "No," Pelosi responded bluntly. "No I'm not worried about that,"
she added.
People
think Nancy Pelosi Was Arrested for Treason by US Marshals after Asking Military to Ignore Trump. Nancy Pelosi
admitted that she attempted to convince the military to ignore the sitting President of the United States because he
supposedly 'lost' the election. The militaries response was 'this is tantamount to treason', one day later Nancy Pelosi
was nowhere to be found, then again the next day. When Nancy Pelosi finally emerged she was surrounded by US Marshals
and Secret Service agents even though the Capitol Building is now swarming with armed National Guard, National Guard that
Pelosi herself called 'weekend warriors' and specifically wanted the Marines to guard the Capitol. [Video clip]
Pelosi
grabs photo-op with same troops she called 'stormtroopers' during BLM riots. There can only be one explanation
for the level of hypocrisy regularly seen from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a complicit media, but the California Democrat took her
duplicity to a mindboggling level when she exploited National Guard troops deployed ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration next
week. Like a tin-pot dictator, Pelosi stood before a formation of soldiers lined up in front of the U.S. Capitol and
thanked the troops and their families "for protecting the Capitol and our democracy." This coming from the same Democrat
who expressed concern "about the increased militarization" of the nation's capital when the National Guard was brought in
during the Black Lives Matter riots over the summer. The same person who called federal law enforcement agents "stormtroopers."
Pelosi
Breaks Her OWN House Floor Rules; Calls Herself 'Wife, Mother, Daughter, Grandmother'. There may be an
abundance of contenders but there is no politician in America today who is more of a massive hypocrite than Speaker Nancy
Pelosi. The top congressional Democrat has done more to divide the nation and foment unrest than anyone with her
ongoing stunts, dangerous demagoguery, and the failure to get anything done with the exception of waging a personal vendetta
against President Trump. That Madame Speaker is an unhinged, double-dealing, lying fraud was well established before
the spectacle of a rushed last-minute shame impeachment to give Trump one more kick before he leaves office and in the glory
of the moment, Pelosi slipped up on Wednesday. During her sanctimonious speech about why Trump has to be removed mere
days before his historic presidency ends, Pelosi broke her own ridiculous floor rules that imposed Soviet-style speech
restrictions on terms related to gender.
Priorities:
Nancy Pelosi Took 9 Months to Negotiate COVID Stimulus II, But Took Less Than 7 Days to Impeach Trump. Just
when you think the height of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hypocrisy and excess cannot get any higher, she surprises. Pelosi
spends 9 months supposedly negotiating a second Stimulus package, "for the American people", and blamed everyone from
Republicans to Big Corporations to President Trump for the failure of not being able to craft a suitable relief package.
In October, Pelosi TWICE lied on national television, both on CNN. [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi wants $5,000 fines for lawmakers who ignore metal detectors, dodge Capitol security. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi has proposed a new rule that would fine members who do not follow new security protocols, including walking through a
metal detector, in the wake of the deadly U.S. Capitol riot. Pelosi announced the proposal Thursday [1/14/2021].
The House would not vote on the new rule until Jan. 21., a day after the inauguration, Pelosi's office said in a
statement. The proposed fines, $5,000 for a first time offense and $10,000 for a second, come as some House Republicans
have openly defied the metal detectors placed outside the House chamber in the days that followed the riot.
The Editor says...
Your opinion may vary, of course, but I perceive this as Nancy Pelosi accusing Republican members of Congress of smuggling weapons
onto the floor of the House. No doubt, the Members who are armed would be happy to tell her, if she were to ask.
Liberal
Journalist Calls For Pelosi To Be Expelled From House. Whatever you think of Twitter, it does have one virtue:
it has exposed the carelessness and low intelligence of American journalists. Gohmert couldn't have been clearer, and
yet these dim bulbs didn't get the point. More importantly, though: these journalists thought the quote was shocking
when they attributed it to Gohmert. One wanted to expel Gohmert from the House. So, does that mean that she now
wants Nancy Pelosi expelled? And do the other journalists quoted above now think that Pelosi's quote was reprehensible?
Will they jump to condemn Pelosi, as they did Gohmert? Or are statements tolerant of rioting, or even encouraging rioting,
perfectly fine when they are made by Democrats?
Nancy Pelosi
names Trump impeachment managers, including Eric Swalwell. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday
[1/12/2021] named nine managers who will lead President Trump's second impeachment — including Rep. Eric
Swalwell, who faced recent controversy for his relationship with a Chinese spy. The House on Wednesday will begin
impeachment proceedings against Trump for allegedly inciting last week's Capitol riot. The impeachment is expected to
pass with overwhelming Democratic support and at least three Republican votes. Impeachment managers are in charge of
presenting the charges, giving them significant public attention and associating their own credibility with the case.
They are particularly prominent during Senate trials.
Pence
Uses Pelosi's Own Words Against Her As He Explains Why He Won't Invoke 25th Amendment. Vice President Mike
Pence used House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) words against her in a letter on Tuesday evening explaining why he will not
invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office. The letter comes as Democrats have introduced
an article of impeachment against the president for the riot that broke out last week in the nation's capital.
Democrats have also sought to pressure Pence into removing Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment.
I
try to avoid posting conspiracy theories, but this one caught my attention. Because it comes from
Lt. General Thomas McInerney: Following the storming of the Capitol building on Wednesday by what appears to be
mostly Antifa members, apparently, there were also some others mingled in with them that General Thomas McInerney claims were
Special Forces who seized several laptops from offices of politicians who are engaged in treason against the United
States. [Video clip]

Thomas McInerney: Special Forces Grabbed Traitors' Laptops. [F]ollowing the storming of the Capitol

General Thomas McInerney claims were special forces who seized several laptops from offices of politicians who are engaged in
treason against the United States. [Video clip]
Gen.
McInerny Says Special Ops Got Pelosi's Laptop: "This is high treason!" I've been telling you the next 10
days will be unlike anything you have ever witnessed in America. And now it's not just me telling you. How about
a three star general? General McInerny just released several videos where he breaks down everything that happened at
the Capitol. And it's NOT what you think! There were several Special Operations being ran all at the same
time. The guys with heavy military gear that you've heard about? Those were the white hats. They went in
and seized multiple pieces of evidence, including Nancy Pelosi's laptop. [Video clip]
Understanding
the Rage. Speaker Pelosi can't help herself. She pours gasoline on the fire, threatening to impeach
President Trump in his last week in office. Foolishly thinking that when Trump is gone, we will forget the insults, the
abuse and simply go away. That we will abandon support for the policies that were working so well. They think
they can go back to playing footsie with the Communist Chinese, open our borders to unlimited illegals and abandon any
pretense of fiscal responsibility. That we will accept her turning MAGA into a four-letter word that should never again
be used in polite company. Dream on sweet pea. In reality, she and the entire establishment are scared
spitless. It's all bluster. They fear Trump. They're terrified by the 75 million who voted for him.
Their act is wearing thin. In their hearts, they know or suspect that Trump actually won. They can only pretend
that we are going away.
Democrats
close in for the kill — not just Trump, but all Republicans. On Sunday, Nancy Pelosi
(D. — white supremacist representative occupying a seat a black person should have) announced that on Monday
[1/11/2021] the House will vote to ask Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office — nine days
before his term ends. Should Pence refuse to do so (and he has allegedly announced that he will refuse), Pelosi will
proceed with impeachment legislation. The pretense for all of this is that Trump has gone stark raving mad and may even
drop a nuclear bomb in the next nine days. The reality is that Pelosi's laptop disappeared on January 7 and Trump
probably has it in front of him. She is desperate to remove him from power before he does something with it.
Indeed, rumors abound that Trump is gearing up for the legal equivalent of a nuclear strike. The claim is that he will
unleash myriad facts about election fraud, including a Roman connection that runs through Obama.
Nancy
Pelosi Basically Asks for Civil War with Insane Gambit to Expel GOP House Members. Well, so much for that whole
unity thing. Democrats are out for blood, emboldened by the idiotic alt-right fools who rushed the Capitol last week,
and they are seemingly going to play every card they have. Impeachment is already being talked about, perhaps even
after Biden's inauguration, in order to ban Trump from every holding office again. But if that wasn't dumb enough,
Nancy Pelosi is now looking at the 14th Amendment as a way to expel Republican members of the House for supposedly taking
part in an "insurrection." [...] I don't typically think we are on the verge of a national break-up (despite thinking our
politics have devolved into a dumpster fire), but you start expelling dually elected GOP House members based on ridiculous
claims that they somehow supported a rebellion and that's what you are egging on. Perhaps Pelosi is too naive to
realize that, but I suspect she knows exactly what she's doing.
Pelosi
Invokes Nixon, Calls on GOP to Impeach Trump. During an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) invoked Watergate and former President Richard Nixon as she discussed her push to impeach President Donald
Trump. [...] Pelosi announced Sunday [1/10/2021] in a letter that the House of Representatives would move to impeach Trump
just 10 days before his presidential term is over because he "represents an imminent threat" to "our Constitution and
our Democracy."
Nancy
Pelosi Just Admitted Why Dems Obstructed COVID Relief Bill for Eight Months. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-IllegalHairAppointment) appeared on Sunday's [1/10/2021] "60 Minutes" to discuss a wide range of topics with Lesley Stahl,
most of which had to do with painting Donald Trump as an insurrectionist and Republicans as his accomplices. After
giving Stahl a breathless, faux-emotional tour of the damage her office sustained (Pelosi was more upset about a broken
mirror in her office than she was about thousands of businesses destroyed during months of BLM rioting), the two sat down to
chat. While Pelosi did her best to seem like the reasonable leader protecting the Republic from crazed animals, Stahl
pushed back on some of Pelosi's assertions — to Pelosi's chagrin. One such topic was whether Pelosi's tone
and "obstruction" cost the Democrats seats in November. [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi Cuts to the Chase on What the Capitol Riot Was All About. Nancy Pelosi's got people pegged.
On Saturday [1/9/2021], the 80-year-old politician took a stab at the disposition of those who stormed/trespassed at/walked
into/breached/overtook/invaded — take your pick of verbs — the Capitol Wednesday. According to
Nancy, it was related to the coronavirus. More importantly, it was about — sit down and get a
blanket — racism.
Pelosi:
Trump 'Deranged, Unhinged, Dangerous' and Should Be Prosecuted. During a portion of an interview set to air on
Sunday's broadcast of CBS' "60 Minutes" that was released Friday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that
President Donald Trump is a "deranged, unhinged, dangerous" president of the United States. Pelosi said, "Well, sadly,
the person who's running the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the United States, and only a
number of days until we can be protected from him. But he has done something so serious that there should be
prosecution against him."
Pelosi
Sought To Have Military Limit Trump's Authority As Commander-In-Chief. Democrats, their activist media arm, and
their Big Tech doorkeepers are perilously close to pressing their advantage far too far and alienating sympathetic
right-leaning and centrist voters with their ongoing attacks on President Trump. Not only has the sitting President of
the United States of America been deplatformed pretty much everywhere on the internet, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
reportedly spoke to the Joint Chiefs about stripping him of his Constitutional authority with regard to his role as Commander
in Chief.
Pelosi Tried to Foment a Military
Coup Against Trump. Those on the left have been accusing President Donald Trump of fomenting an insurrection
because of the Capitol protest. But Trump never called for violence or a riot. But these are the same people who
for four years tried to take out and undermined the duly elected president of the United States through a false Russia
Collusion hoax story. These are the same people who rioted on Trump's Inauguration Day, attacking and setting fire to
thing in Washington, D.C. (By the way, all those arrested in those attacks were ultimately released without any [prison]
time for their actions). [...] The New York Times ran a story today [1/9/2021] about the actions of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
behind the scenes against the president. Talk about "insurrection," she was essentially fomenting a coup, and fomenting
the military against the president, trying to remove him from the chain of command.
Pelosi
Aide Reports Laptop Was Stolen From Speaker's Office During Breach of Capitol Building. On Wednesday Blaze TV
reporter Elijah Schaffer tweeted a photo from inside Nancy Pelosi's office where emails were left open on the computer screen
as staff rushed to flee. Schaffer wrote, "I am inside Nancy Pelosi's office with the thousands of revolutionaries who
have stormed the building." Pelosi's aide confirmed Friday [1/8/2021] that a laptop was stolen from the Speaker's office.
The Editor says...
If you find Nancy Pelosi's laptop unattended somewhere, leave it alone. Even if the contents of Pelosi's laptop
were as embarrassing as the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, you can be sure the news media would cover it all up!
Pelosi
asks Joint Chiefs about preventing Trump from launching nukes. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke with the
nation's top military officer on Friday about precautions in place to prevent President Donald Trump from ordering a nuclear
strike or conducting other military hostilities as Democrats seek his removal from office. The stunning revelation came
in a letter from the speaker to House Democrats outlining next steps following a violent breach of the U.S. Capitol on
Wednesday by Trump supporters. Pelosi said she spoke to Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley about guardrails in
place that could prevent "an unstable president" from wielding the military or the country's nuclear arsenal.
Democrats
Eye Vote On Impeachment As Early As Next Week. With the 25th Amendment out the window, Congressional Democrats
are moving on to door #2 — impeachment. According to CNN, Democrats may vote on impeachment as soon as the middle of
next week. According to the report, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team are working out a
"lightning-quick impeachment process," according to "multiple Democratic sources." [Emphasis added.]
Pelosi
Threatens to Do Something Drastic if Pence Does Not Remove Trump Under 25th Amendment. On Thursday [1/7/2021],
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) threatened to launch into immediate impeachment if Vice President Mike Pence and
Trump's cabinet do not immediately invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president. [...] Ironically, Pelosi and the other
Democrats cheapened impeachment by rushing a flimsy partisan case against Trump in 2019.
Capitol
protesters loot, vandalize Nancy Pelosi's office. Rioters vandalized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's suite of
offices in the US Capitol on Wednesday, flipping tables and rummaging through desks after a large mob of Trump supporters
stormed the building. One man was photographed reclining with his feet on a desk in Pelosi's office while other men in
"Make America Great Again" hats horsed around with desk phones and streamed the incident. Another demonstrator was seen
grinning as he walked away with Pelosi's podium as unprecedented scenes of looting and chaos engulfed the Capitol after
rioters overpowered police and trapped lawmakers in the Senate and House of Representatives chamber, leading to a tense
armed standoff.
The Editor says...
This was very likely a false flag operation, just like the spray-painting of Pelosi's garage door a few days earlier,
during which the vandals were careful to avoid getting paint on the bricks. How many people even know where Pelosi's office
is? How many cops had to stand aside to let the "protesters" into that area, and then into that office? What happened
to the National Guard, which was called out at least one day earlier? Did they stand aside, too? Once the
"protesters" were in Pelosi's office, they acted like 10-year-old brats. That doesn't sound like a bunch of disgruntled
voters reacting to a stolen election. It sounds like paid actors wearing MAGA gear to throw down a red herring.
Sorry,
Pelosi: Eliminating official use of 'mother' isn't inclusive — it's waging war on women. One
of the first acts of our new House of Representatives might be to cancel Mom. On Sunday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
Democratic majority proposed to eliminate "father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister" and all other language deemed
insufficiently "gender-inclusive" from House rules. They would be replaced with terms like "parent, child, sibling,
parent's sibling" and so on. "Mother" — among the most important concepts in human life — would
be erased from the lexicon of the US House of Representatives. It's important to recognize how radical this is.
And no, it isn't akin to updating federal law to replace "policeman" with "police officer," a rational corrective sought by
feminists for generations.
The
Future: It Ain't Gonna Be Pretty. One of the common memes in our racist-sexist-homophobe world is that
Conservatism Inc. betrayed us. They never stood their ground, always caving to the libs, whether on race, on spending,
on deficits, and now on election fraud, Chief Justice John Roberts. But this assumes that we Americans are actually in
control of our fate. You think? How about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just approving a change in House Rules to
make them more "inclusive?" You think Nancy Pelosi, she of the $24,000 side-by-side refrigerators, really believes in
this? But what are fathers and mothers and sons and daughters against another term as Speaker of the House? And
what could be more important to the future of feminism than re-upping your speakership at the tender age of 80?
Report:
Pelosi allowed recently COVID-positive rep. onto House floor to vote for her. Nancy Pelosi has shown yet
another example of her hypocrisy regarding COVID-19 lockdown orders. Under quarantine for coronavirus, Americans are
not allowed to travel, visit friends, family or even go to work in some cases. If you're a Democrat in Congress,
however, it's your "congressional duty" to break quarantine, enter the chamber and re-elect radical Democrat Nancy Pelosi as
House Speaker. According to a report Sunday, that's the example the California Democrat set for Americans amid her
narrow re-election to the leading role in the lower chamber of Congress. The report noted that in an effort to win a
tough battle for re-election and compensate for seats lost by Democrats, Pelosi encouraged a handful of coronavirus-positive
Democrats to break their quarantine in order to vote for her.
AOC
and The Squad Sell Out, Help Reelect Pelosi Speaker. The new Congress convened Sunday [1/3/2021] at noon, and
the House held its Speakership vote. With only a razor-thin majority, Democrats could not afford to indulge 15 members
voting against Nancy Pelosi as happened two years ago, nor did AOC or the rest of the 'Squad' defect despite pressure from
the left not to "sell out." [...] Because Pelosi couldn't afford to lose any votes, she urged at least one member who tested
positive and is still in quarantine to drag herself to the House to vote.
Weakened
Nancy Pelosi Wins Another Term as Speaker with Less than a Majority in House. A severely weakened House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi won re-election on Sunday with only 216 votes, less than a majority of 218 in the U.S. House of
Representatives. After voting concluded according to C-SPAN's count, Pelosi had 216 votes and an emboldened House
minority leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) secured 209 votes. Two members, both Democrats, voted for somebody else
and three members — also Democrats — voted present. The fact that Pelosi could not even get a
majority of members in the U.S. House of Representatives to vote for her — since the House has 435 voting members,
a majority is 218 — is a sign of how much weaker she is since the 2020 congressional elections in November saw
massive losses for House Democrats.
There's
something peculiar about the vandalism at Pelosi's house. An ugly story emerged on New Year's Day:
Vandals had attacked Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco house, leaving behind graffiti on her garage complaining about the stimulus
bill, along with a pig's head in a puddle of red paint. People less credulous than the media, though, noticed that the
vandals were kind enough to do their dirty deed without touching the brick facing on Pelosi's house. These may have
been polite vandals, or there may be more here than meets the eye. [...] It's entirely possible that this was an Antifa
effort and the person spraying paint had some residual compassion for Pelosi. But it's also possible that this is a
false flag effort.
Here
Are The Most Annoying People Of 2020. Coming in the number one spot is Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
for many reasons. The first annoying thing she did this year that comes to mind is when she showed off her kitchen on
"The Late Late Show" while many Americans lined up for hours at food banks across the country. [..] We also can't forget the
whole hair salon debacle. Pelosi was criticized in September for attending an appointment at a hair salon in San
Francisco even though businesses were shut down at the time due to coronavirus. Pelosi claimed the hair salon
purposefully set her up and that she would take responsibility for falling for the set up.
Nancy
Pelosi Bans 'Gender' Terms Like Mother, Daughter, Father, Son in House Rules. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
and Rules Committee Chairman James McGovern (D-MA) unveiled the rules for the 117th Congress on Friday, which contain
"future-focused" proposals, including the elimination of gendered terms, such as "father, mother, son, and daughter."
"This package, which will be introduced and voted on once the new Congress convenes, includes sweeping ethics reforms,
increases accountability for the American people, and makes this House of Representatives the most inclusive in history,"
said the House Committee on Rules in a statement.
House
of Representatives rules may be stripped of all gender references. Proposed changes to the rules of the House
of Representatives would "honor all gender identities" by eliminating such specific terms as mother and father, son and
daughter, and aunt and uncle. Instead, only gender-neutral terms such as "parent," "child," "sibling" and "parent's
sibling" would be allowed in the text of the House rules, according to the proposed changes. The proposed
changes — which also include the establishment of a House "Office of Diversity and Inclusion" — will be
voted on after the House convenes Sunday for the new 117th Congress. Another rules change would prevent Republicans
from amending a bill at the last minute, the Washington Examiner reported.
Evidence that Pelosi is on the way out: Pelosi's
Home Vandalized with Pig's Head, Fake Blood; Antifa Has Been Accused!. Nancy Pelosi's home in San Francisco has
been vandalized. Her garage was spray painted, fake blood was poured all over the place, and a pig head was involved.
[...] It is highly suspected that the vandalism was due to anger over the stimulus package. Antifa has been accused.
San Francisco is mostly Democrat, so it is widely believed that this vandalism was NOT carried about by conservatives.
GOP
Rep Accuses Pelosi of 'Unprecedented Power Grab' in Iowa Election. Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress
are cautioning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) against any interference in the Iowa 2nd Congressional District election.
Iowa certified the winner to be Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks over Democrat Rita Hart. The race was a nail
biter. The final tally put Miller-Meeks on top by a vote of 196,964 to 196,958. Yes, that's only six votes. And
so Hart filed a challenge with the House. But Republican Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) argued that there's no reason
why the tiny margin of victory should prevent Speaker Pelosi from seating Miller-Meeks in her rightful place in Congress next
week. "Refusing to seat Rep.-elect Miller-Meeks on January 3rd would be an unprecedented power grab by Speaker Pelosi,"
Davis said. "The Speaker's narrow margin, which could be as few as seven, should not be a factor when considering whether
or not to seat a member-elect," Davis added."Rep.-elect Miller-Meeks has been certified the winner by the State of Iowa."
How
Nancy Pelosi could lose the speakership to Kevin McCarthy. Is karma going to come calling for Nancy Pelosi and
the Democrats? I know that it sounds crazy, yet another improbable scenario in a season when our hopes have been dashed
repeatedly after hearing predictions that a stolen presidential election would be rectified in the courts. But the
scenario that follows is far from impossible, given House rules for voting in person, the tiniest House of Representatives
majority (9 votes) in decades, the deep ideological split within the Democrats (downplayed or ignored by the partisan media)
and the fading lucidity of Nancy Pelosi.
Uh-Oh:
Pelosi May Not Have Votes To Stay Speaker. This is the nightmare scenario for House Speaker and California
Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her nightmare looks like it could come to fruition. Republicans won every single race for
the House that was considered a "toss-up," a total of 27, and not one Republican lost reelection in what was supposed to be a
"blue wave" year for Democrats. And because of that, when it comes time to vote for a new Speaker of The House in
January, a small number of House Democrats missing for whatever reason could lead to a Republican being elected Speaker.
Nancy
Pelosi: Georgia Senate Victories Would Give Democrats Supermajority-Like Ability to Pass Legislation.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said during a virtual Sojourner Truth Project event last week that ousting Sens. Kelly
Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA) will give them significant power to pass legislation because they can pass bills with
a simple majority in the Senate using reconciliation. Pelosi spoke virtually at the Sojourner Truth Project on December 22
via Zoom. During the event, she discussed how Georgia Senate Democrat candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock's potential
victories would give Democrats significant power to pass legislation in Congress. She compared their Democrats' potential
power to having essentially 60 votes in the Senate.
Poll: Speaker
Pelosi's Favorability for a Fourth Term as House Speaker Plummets. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) majority
in the lower chamber was eviscerated on election night, after pollsters predicted that Democrats would make significant gains
in congressional elections. Pelosi currently holds an 11-seat majority, losing 9 seats thus far; likewise, Republicans
lost no incumbent seats thus far, and flipped upwards of 14 seats previously held by Democrats. A fresh Politico/Morning Consult
poll spells even more trouble for Democrats' self-proclaimed "master legislator." Just 31 percent of voters across the board
believe that Pelosi should serve another term as speaker, while 56 percent say that she should step aside. On the other hand,
53 percent of self-identified Democrats support Pelosi's fourth bid for the speakership, but 83 percent and 59 percent
of Republicans and Independents, respectively, oppose her serving as speaker again.
Nancy
Pelosi Goes on CNN and Has a Meltdown Too Amazing to Miss. It appears Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to move on
from having her purely political motives for holding up a stimulus bill before the election scrutinized. Judging by the
election returns, the voters held her accountable by nearly wiping out her majority in the House. Now it seems some
members of the corporate media are also trying to hold her accountable. This could be a sign the media has decided she
needs to go. This would look similar to the trashing of Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Poll: Majority
wants Pelosi out as House speaker. Though Democrats' House majority was nearly wiped out in last month's
election, the party appears poised to retain Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for a fourth, two-year stint as speaker next
month. A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows most Democrats think she should keep the gavel, but a majority of
voters oppose Pelosi staying on as speaker. Only 31 percent of all voters think Pelosi should be elected as speaker
when the new Congress begins, while 56 percent think she should not.
Kevin
McCarthy demands answers from Pelosi on Chinese spy infiltrating Rep. Swalwell's office. Rep. Eric
Swalwell, D-Calif., was "so preoccupied with going after President Trump" that he was not "protecting the USA from bad
actors," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said on Wednesday, reacting to a report of a Chinese spy
infiltrating Congress. "This is only the tip of the iceberg because remember what we're hearing. These are
Chinese spies that go down to the level of a mayor," McCarthy told "The Ingraham Angle." "[China] helps a city council
member become a congressman. This congressman now gets on the intel committee. They are only selected from the
intel committee by the leaders of their party meaning Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi is one of the Gang of Eight, along
with myself," McCarthy said. "Did Nancy Pelosi know this had transpired when she put him on the committee?"
Rep.
Dan Crenshaw rips into Pelosi for her moral corruption and hypocrisy. ["]We've all seen the
heartbreaking video of Angela Marsden, the owner of Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill in Los Angeles. Everyone should
have to watch that testimony as Democrats shut down her outdoor — outdoor! — dining while a Hollywood
studio sets up shop right next door. She represents millions of Americans suffering who have taken note of the
hypocrisy of these lockdowns, of the double standards, as big businesses can operate freely while small businesses are shamed
into submission and told wrongly that they are the ones who must sacrifice to slow the spread. That the demise of the
business they spent their whole lives building is the price to pay because 'if it just saves one life.' But this is
unscientific nonsense, and we all know it.["]
Mitch
McConnell Unleashes On Speaker Pelosi on Senate Floor. On Wednesday [12/9/2020] during a speech on the Senate
floor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell unleashed on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi as she continues to block
COVID-19 funding. The comments from McConnell also come after Pelosi admitted that she purposely blocked COVID funding
and wouldn't agree to a smaller bill unless Joe Biden is in office.
Pelosi
Omits Key Detail About First Black Congressman When Announcing Exhibit Honoring Him. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
and House Majority Whip James Clyburn omitted one key detail on Friday during the opening of an exhibit honoring former
Rep. Joseph Rainey of South Carolina, the first black congressman in American history. The exhibit, located in the
United States Capitol, is named "Joseph Rainey: 150 years" and celebrates the 150th anniversary of Rainey's swearing-in on
Dec. 12, 1870, as the first African American member of the U.S. House of Representatives. During their presentation of
the exhibit, however, Pelosi and Clyburn predictably failed to mention that Rainey was a Republican.
Report:
Nancy Pelosi to Lead High-Priced Fundraiser for Democrats Raphael Warnock, Jon Ossoff. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) will fundraise [sic] Monday [12/7/2020] for Georgia Senate Democrat candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon
Ossoff. Former Baltimore County Executive Ted Venetoulis said Monday that Pelosi will headline a fundraiser Monday [12/7/2020]
at 7:30 p.m. ET for the pivotal Georgia Senate runoffs. [...] The flyer for the fundraiser has suggested giving starting
at $500 and up to $15,6000. [sic] Venetoulis added that the Democrats' fundraising would boost the candidates' ground game
in Georgia.
The Editor says...
[#1] Please show me the dictionary — and by that I mean a dusty old book with a bunch of words and
definitions — which includes the word fundraise. [#2] If the runoff election is
rigged as flagrantly as the November presidential election, what is the purpose of fundraising? If the Socialist
Democrats have rigged the election, the only purpose for a generous donation would be to purchase influence. Democrats
and Republicans really like grassroots activists, until the moment they find out that you don't really have a lot of money in
the bank or influence in your neighborhood.
Pelosi
Snaps at Reporters, Makes Stunning Admission About Why She Stalled Virus Relief Bill. Democratic House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi finally admitted today [12/4/2020] what Republicans have alleged for months about why she held up an agreement
between House Democrats and Senate Republicans on a coronavirus relief package: She wanted to wait until after the
election when presumably Joe Biden would be declared the winner of the presidential race. The stunning admission was
made during her weekly press briefing with reporters this morning where questions were asked about the status of the Wuhan
virus relief bill including on how soon she felt both sides could come to an agreement on the particulars. Prior to the
election, Pelosi and other Democratic leaders in the House balked at the Senate's smaller bill and demanded much more.
Now she says she's open to a scaled-down bill in the interests of getting something passed soon.
The
True Source of Catholic Democratic Confusion. Townhall reports that Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez,
president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), has formed a working group of bishops expressly "to
navigate challenges posed by a Biden administration." The archbishop is concerned that Biden's "positions that are opposed
to Church teaching, like abortion," not only "pose a serious threat to the common good whenever any politician supports
them," but cause "confusion among the faithful about what the church actually teaches on these questions." It's a sad
truth that every Catholic officeholder professing a heart aflame for the faith who meanwhile toils night and day for a party
at war with every Christian value, wouldn't be in office without the votes of a lot of confused Catholics. The most
notorious burning heart right now beats inside Joe Biden, the man NPR loves to remind listeners "carries a rosary in his
pocket and attends Mass every Sunday." And of course Nancy Pelosi, whose grating sanctimony as she defends abortion as
"sacred ground," or lectures on the demands of morality (Trump's impeachment), and depths of immorality (a secure national
border), are peddled to Catholics as the prayerful outpourings of an "ardent" practitioner of the faith.
2020
Was The Year Nancy Pelosi Totally Lost Her Touch. It is looking increasingly like the House of Representatives
will be a 222-Democrat-213-Republican split. This is an absolutely incredible outcome that none of the polling experts
predicted. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) can only afford to lose four votes on anything, making it impossible to
govern. And guess what? It's her own [...] fault. Here's why. When Nancy Pelosi returned to power as
Speaker of the House in 2019, she was greeted as a liberator by the Washington press corp. There she was, smiling on
the cover of every magazine, a welcome conquering heroine replacing evil, Republican nerd Paul Ryan. But while Pelosi's
tenure a decade earlier was lauded for her firm control of a difficult caucus, Pelosi version 2.0 turned out to be a
political albatross.
Analysis
Busts Pelosi Sneaking $350 Million For 50 Richest Zip Codes Into COVID Relief Bill. Oh, but they claim they are
for the little guy, right? Look, both parties are being used against the people, and this is just another example of the
corruption in DC. The HEROES Act is nothing more than the former COVID stimulus bill: unconstitutional wealth redistribution.
Nancy
Pelosi Snuck $350M for 50 Richest Zip Codes into COVID Relief Bill, Analysis Reveals. At some point, when the
election chaos is finally settled, Congress will likely turn to passing another COVID-19 stimulus/relief bill. (Despite the
last one being plagued by rampant fraud and dysfunction). One starting point for negotiations will be the "HEROES Act," a
$2.2 trillion bill the House passed in October on a party-line vote by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her fellow
Democrats. One of the most significant aspects of the HEROES Act is that it allocates nearly $700 billion in federal
money for state, local, and tribal governments. Proponents say this gives localities the funds they need to pay
emergency responders and fund programs necessary to protect their communities. Critics point out that much of this
money is used to "bail out" blue states that were already mismanaging their budgets and running up large unfunded pension
programs before the pandemic.
Impeachment
backfired on Nancy. Charlie Cook, Larry Sabato, and the rest of the cable news experts on American elections
all agreed. Democrats would add 10, 15, and maybe even 20 seats to their majority. Hahaha. Matt Vespa
reported, "We have over a dozen races that have yet to be called. Yes, some places are still counting those mail-in
ballots. In some races, they still have a long way to go. Overall, this week has been terrible for House
Democrats. They were projected to pick up 10-15 seats. They're probably going to lose 10[,] maybe more. [...]"
[...] The progressive communists in their memo just did not get it. No one cares what ice cream a rich old lady
eats. We have ice cream too. There is nothing in her freezer the average American cannot buy. Whilst
progressives talk up the working-class concerns, the fact is they are the biggest elitists in the world. They are out
of touch. They hate large pickups, canned beer, and guns.
Kevin
McCarthy fires back at Pelosi's election mantra: Yes Speaker, it was a 'mandate' — against
Socialism!. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy fired back at Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her claim that voters
gave Democrats a "mandate" on Election Day. The California Republican mocked Democrats boasting about the election
results when, in fact, the so-called "blue wave" they had been predicting never materialized. McCarthy called out
Pelosi for her claims during comments at a press conference on Thursday [11/12/2020].
Why
Nancy Pelosi May Have Trouble Remaining Speaker of the House — Where Did Her Votes Go? Earlier today
my RedState colleague Nick Arama reported that House GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is speculating that Nancy Pelosi may
no longer have the votes in the House Democrat caucus to remaining Speaker of the House. A few days ago, when the
late-deciding House races started to go against the Democrats, I wrote this story about the possible implications coming out
of the House Democrat Caucus conference call where fingers of blame were being pointed over the losses that were suffered by
various incumbents who had faced difficult races. The news has not improved for Pelosi since I wrote my earlier
story — in fact, it has gotten worse in that the Democrats have now lost every close race called so far.
Should
Republicans Pick the Next House Speaker? Right now it appears that Republicans will have at least 210 seats in
the House in the next Congress, and perhaps a many as 214 if the remaining races where the GOP candidate leads all break
their way. That would leave Democrats with a slim 7-vote majority, and leave the GOP needing to gain only four seats to
take control in the next election. Given that over ten House Democrats didn't vote for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker after
the 2018 midterms, it raises a tantalizing possibility: Could four House Democrats be induced to support a Republican
for Speaker (or even switch parties)? Highly unlikely, but a second possibility might be considered: Republicans could
pledge their support for a moderate Democrat to become Speaker. If there is a challenge mounting to Pelosi within her
own caucus, the potential for mischief is well nigh irresistible.
Pelosi Is Asked Repeatedly
if She Denounces Socialism, Her Answer Says It All. While we're still trying to figure out the presidential
election, the American people did make one message perfectly clear on Election Day: they were not big fans of
socialism. More moderate Democrats chewed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) out over their being associated with
socialism after the results came in. Some made it plain they felt that hurt the chances of Democrats to win in the
House in a leaked House caucus phone call. [...] So one would think that given that concern expressed by her members and the
American people that Pelosi might be very clear when asked about socialism, right? Especially since she's seeking
another term as Speaker of the House. But not so much.
Nancy Pelosi
refuses to denounce socialism as she seeks another term as speaker. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is
refusing to denounce socialism as the left-wing ideology continues to drive a wedge within the Democratic Party —
and as she works to lock down enough support for another term as speaker. Fox News had requested comment several
times — including multiple phone calls to Pelosi's office — with inquiries about whether she opposed
the ideology and whether she would allow any self-described socialists elected in the Democratic caucus to hold leadership
positions in the House of Representatives. During a press conference on Friday, Pelosi acknowledged that there was a
"difference of opinion" among members of her caucus as a rift between moderates and progressives appears to have expanded
following the 2020 election. Back in 2019, Pelosi insisted during a "60 Minutes" interview that socialism was "not the
view" of her party.
Nancy
Pelosi's Chief of Staff Is Chief Executive and Feinstein's Husband a Major Shareholder at Dominion Ballot Counting
Systems. The great Sidney Powell was on Mornings with Maria and she unloaded on the monstrous amount of
Democrat voter fraud in the 2020 election. But during this discussion Maria Bartiromo dropped a bomb as well.
During her discussion with Sidney Powell, Maria Bartiromo shared the following about the firm that runs the application used
in Michigan where thousands of Trump votes were switched to Joe Biden. [Video clip] [...] The fact that the
Dominion voting machines flipped votes to Biden in at least two instances in Michigan alone is reason to audit all states
where Dominion is used.
The
Fall of the House of Pelosi. The D.C. press has built up the myth of Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a brilliant
strategist. That's nonsense. Pelosi is in power for one reason and one reason only. It's the same reason
that Schumer is the Senate Dem leader. American elections are being bought up by San Francisco and New York
money. Pelosi is the direct liaison to the SF cash and Schumer is the connection to the NY money. The money
showed up. Lots of it. Republicans were outspent at every turn. But that wasn't enough. And
strategically, Pelosi oversaw a disaster. Schumer may be getting some flak because Democrat Senate ambitions are not
paying off, but Pelosi's public behavior was disastrous. Trying to take coronavirus relief hostage, and then attacking
Wolf Blitzer was not a good look. Even while the media was touting her genius, Pelosi reacted with a hauteur that won
over no one. Add on the salon video and it was an added scandal that no one needed.
Nancy
Pelosi hails 'President-elect Biden' as vote count continues in swing states. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hailed
Democratic nominee Joe Biden as "President-elect Biden" on Friday morning [11/6/2020], saying she was pleased with the
outcome of the 2020 election — even as the vote count continues in six states, two of which are headed for a
recount. "Pretty soon the hyphen will be gone from Vice President to President-elect Joe Biden," Pelosi (D-Calif.) told
reporters at a press conference with the former veep leading in the Electoral College tally 252-214 and swing states leaning
toward a Biden presidency. "It's a happy day for our country because Joe Biden is a unifier because he is determined to
bring people together, because he respects all points of view and as he has said, 'I run as a Democrat but I would govern as
a president for all people, whether they voted for me or not,'" she went on.
Pelosi formally
announces her run for House Speaker again, asks for support. Nancy Pelosi formally announced her bid to run for
House speaker again as the House Democratic majority is shrinking and moderates are blaming the progressive agenda for their
losses. Pelosi wrote each Democratic member a letter Thursday outlining the agenda for the next two years and asked for
their support in reelecting her speaker. She wrote confidently that Joe Biden won the presidency, referring to working
with "President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris."
Newly
elected House Republican women break record in 'stunning blow to Nancy Pelosi'. Republican women were among the
biggest winners of Tuesday's [11/3/2020] balloting, breaking a record for House non-incumbent victories and closing in on the
record high for the chamber. The 11 Republican women seeking another House term were all reelected, and another dozen
candidates were elected for the first time. Eleven additional House races featuring GOP women had yet to be called,
according to the Center for American Women in Politics. The center said that "Republican women have already set a new record
for non-incumbent House winners, with 12 women elected in 2020 so far, surpassing the previous record of nine, set in 2010."
Report:
Democrats Want Nancy Pelosi Out After Lackluster Election Results. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) could once
again see her speakership challenged following a lackluster showing of House Democrat candidates in Tuesday's 2020 election.
[...] At least seven Democrats were defeated in House races last night [11/3/2020]. When reached for comment about a
possible bid to oust Pelosi, the speaker's press representative said her focus is on the presidential election between
President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Pelosi
Calls Amy Coney Barrett An 'Illegitimate Supreme Court Justice'. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Supreme
Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is an "illegitimate" member of the court Tuesday [11/3/2020]. In a press conference with
Democratic Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, Pelosi mentioned Barrett's confirmation, saying, "the president is installing an
illegitimate Supreme Court Justice one week before the election, after 60 million Americans have voted, who will dismantle
the ACA, and won't say, by the way, when asked, by Senator Feinstein, do you think Medicare is constitutional? She said
she really couldn't say." Every Democrat opposed Barrett's confirmation. Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski
was on the fence about how she was going to vote but ended up voting in favor of Barrett's confirmation.
Nancy
Pelosi Ready to Lead House in 'Prominent Role' if Election Result Disputed. Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday
offered her services and that of the House of Representatives to play a "prominent role" in deciding the outcome of the
presidential election if disputes mar the final count. In the event of a tie in the Electoral College the "newly seated
House of Representatives" would be called upon to hold a decisive, complicated vote, the New York Times reported, which is
where Pelosi sees a role for her possible intervention. In a rarely seen scenario, the House decides with one vote for
each state. "But let's not worry about that right now," Pelosi told NPR.
Nancy
Pelosi Gets Asked About Hunter Biden During Presser, Promptly Starts Yelling Over Reporter. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) held a press conference Thursday presumably to answer questions on whatever issues reporters wanted to ask her
about. But when one journalist tried to ask the longtime Congresswoman and prominent Joe Biden supporter about the
explosive corruption allegations surrounding the Democratic presidential nominee and his son Hunter, Pelosi had a mini-meltdown,
shutting the reporter down in ways she's she's become infamous for doing both on Capitol Hill and on national news
networks — including those predisposed to pitching softball questions to Democrats.
Delusional: Nancy
Pelosi: 'Joe Biden is a Great Healer'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said in an interview with Joy
Reid on MSNBC on Monday that former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, "is a great healer."
"Joe Biden is a great healer," Pelosi said. "He will bring us together. He will unify us." [Video clip]
"We have got to heal our country," Pelosi said. "We have got to heal, crush this virus to heal physically our country."
How
to Win Back the House in 2020. [Nancy] Pelosi was Speaker when we ran our first trillion-dollar deficit, and
she's Speaker now, when we return to trillion-dollar deficits. See a pattern? Pelosi has given the novel
coronavirus a new moniker. Rather than calling it the "Wuhan virus," or the "China virus" as the president does, our
dowager empress has dubbed it the "Trump Virus." For Democrats, that kind of thing is what passes for brilliance, and it may
indeed be effective in shaping the opinions of those with "bumper sticker minds." But a bumper sticker that would have some
grounding in reality would be that the $3.1T federal deficit is the "Pelosi Deficit." After all, Congress "controls the purse
strings." Spending legislation starts in the House; Pelosi runs the House; hence the Pelosi Deficit. Nancy Pelosi is
simply the most expensive woman in human history. Rational voters who care about our nation and its currency cannot
vote for a party that would make such a cranky old woman Speaker of the House and second in line to the presidency. But
how did we get a reprise of this wasteful woman?
Poll:
More Americans Blame Pelosi Than Trump for Stalled Coronavirus Relief Talks. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is
playing political games with coronavirus relief stimulus and one major new poll reveals that Americans are putting more of
the blame on her shoulder. The Trump administration has proposed a $1.8 trillion compromise, including another
round of $1,200 stimulus checks and a $400 boost in weekly unemployment benefits, as part of an ongoing negotiation surrounding
a second COVID-19 stimulus bill. That is still not good enough for Pelosi, however, as she's chosen to reject the
deal — and her party might pay the price on Election Day.
Pelosi, after a
year of not speaking to Trump, says talks don't have to be 'person-to-person'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on
Friday [10/16/2020] confirmed that she has not spoken to President Trump for more than a year — but said working
with intermediaries has brought results, and talks don't have to be "person-to-person." Pelosi was asked by MSNBC host
Nicole Wallace if, a year after she walked out of a contentious Oct. 16 meeting at the White House and stopped speaking with
Trump, if she would be open if Trump ever reached out to "open that channel of conversation." "Well, it would depend on
what the purpose is," Pelosi said. She then suggested that she had in fact been more productive negotiating with
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and others in the White House.
Why
Haven't You Gotten Your $1,200 Check? Because Nancy Pelosi Wanted a Political Win. In
politics — especially Washington politics involving big money — the answers are often complicated and
convoluted. When it comes to these stimulus checks, however, it's very, very simple: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
is holding them hostage. Despite weeks of negotiations, despite the demonstrated commitment of the White House to
getting this done as quickly as possible, Pelosi refuses to put forward a "skinny bill" that funds another round of checks
without any strings attached. She wants the whole thing to be conditioned on more than a trillion dollars of
unrelated spending — most which would go to blue-state governors who have dug themselves into a fiscal hole and
driven their residents out with ever higher taxes and ever greater restrictions on their freedom. Pelosi and other
partisan Democrats are upset, you see, that under President Trump's tax code, reduced state and local tax deductions mean
low-tax red states no longer subsidize rich people living in New York and California.
Nancy
Pelosi calls Wolf Blitzer a GOP 'apologist' during epic on-air spat. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sparred with
CNN host Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday evening, calling him a "Republican apologist" during a heated exchange over the holdup of
coronavirus stimulus. Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed Blitzer for having "no knowledge" on the details of relief proposals as
he pressed her on why she wouldn't accept a $1.8 trillion package offered by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin — a
package that is roughly $400 billion less than the relief legislation the House passed earlier this month. "[Americans]
really need the money right now ... even members of your own caucus, Madam Speaker, want to accept this deal," said Blitzer.
Nancy
Pelosi goes into meltdown on live TV. Kitchen getting too hot, Nancy? Looks very much as though it is,
given that Nancy Pelosi can't stand the heat. She melted down like the Wizard of Oz's witch after a bucket of water was
thrown when asked why she wasn't willing to present President Trump a stimulus bill for simple relief to American workers
hard hit by the COVID lockdowns. [...] And we are not talking about a question from a rat-dog like Brit Hume or Catherine
Herridge. The interviewer who drew House speaker Nancy Pelosi's meltdown was the affable Wolf Blitzer, whose soft spot
for the Democrats is pretty well known.
Democrat
backlash after House Speaker Pelosi sharply rejects Trump's $1.8 trillion coronavirus relief offer. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing backlash from some Democrats after she sharply rejected Trump's $1.8 trillion coronavirus
relief offer. President Donald Trump on Friday [10/9/2020] offered a $1.8 trillion coronavirus relief package in
talks with Pelosi after urging his team on Twitter to 'go big' — moving closer to Pelosi's $2.2 trillion proposal.
The proposal was dismissed by Pelosi as inadequate. In a weekly letter to Democratic colleagues, she explained that the proposal
lacked a 'strategic plan to crush the virus' and gave President Trump too much power in deciding how the funds would be spent.
Nancy
has another Marie Antoinette moment as Wolf blasts her. Wolf Blitzer dared ask Speaker Pelosi twice why she
won't accept the $1.8 trillion package Republicans have offered "because people need the money now." The woman
worth $120 million dollars, give or take, who owns mansions and a vineyard, and owns a huge freezer filled with really
expensive ice cream, won't agree to a relief bill that only targets people who need relief. [...] These are a few of the
things she wants:
• $1 trillion in nearly totally unrestricted funds just for cities and states. There is one
restriction — no money for policing.
• It gives federal taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal aliens — any illegal who wanders into the country.
• Her bill allows ballot harvesting and revokes state-level ID laws.
• She has funding in it for pot shops.
• They want hundreds of millions for public broadcast and funding for local press retirement plans.
• Policing of racial makeup of corporate boards is in the bill.
• Endless climate change pork that won't do a thing for climate change in our lifetimes [...]
Nancy
Pelosi's latest stunt proves she's obsessed with President Trump. When announcing her 25th Amendment ploy
questioning the president's fitness to serve, Nancy Pelosi last week bizarrely criticized President Trump's "erotic"
behavior. She was responding on ABC's "The View" to a Trump tweet about the "stimulus" bill that flashed up on
screen. "What do you think is causing this erratic behavior?" the House speaker was asked. "Well I think it's
true to form," she said. "The president has always had erotic behavior." Perhaps she meant to say "erratic," but
her Freudian slip begs the question: Is Nancy Pelosi secretly in love with the president? She definitely is
obsessed with him. Morning, noon and night, Trump is in her thoughts and on her lips. She brings him up
spontaneously in interviews.
Rep.
Doug Collins introduces resolution to push for Pelosi removal as House speaker. Rep. Doug Collins on
Monday introduced a resolution to push for the removal of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, claiming she "does not have the mental
fitness" to lead the House of Representatives. "Speaker Nancy Pelosi's unwillingness to abide by the Constitution,
combined with her recent actions, call into question her own mental fitness, which is why it's critical that the House of
Representatives demand her removal from the line of succession," Collins said in a statement to Fox News. A draft of
Collins' resolution, obtained by Fox News, argues that Pelosi "is unable to adequately serve as Speaker of the House of
Representatives and should therefore be removed from her position."
Democrats
delegitimize the Supreme Court because they fear losing power over the rest of us. "It is a decision of the
Supreme Court," Rep. Nancy Pelosi said in 2005, speaking about the eminent domain ruling in Kelo v. New
London. "If Congress wants to change it, it will require legislation of a level of a constitutional amendment. So
this is almost as if God has spoken." This florid reverence for the high court ought not be lost on the reader,
especially given where Pelosi and other Democrats find themselves today. As the Senate prepares to confirm President
Trump's third Supreme Court nominee, they have begun to say outright that the nomination and confirmation procedure outlined
in the U.S. Constitution is illegitimate. In some cases, they are even insinuating that the court itself lacks
legitimacy, for which outlandish claim the only visible justification is that they don't like the direction it's going.
A
Better Plan Than Pelosi's: Repeal the 25th Amendment. It's starting to look like the states never should
have ratified the 25th Amendment to begin with. At least not the part that deals with a dysfunctional president.
Certainly it's hard to imagine a scheme more nefarious than the one that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is advancing. In one of
those crises the Democrats don't like to let go to waste, it would turn over the task of removing an elected president to a
panel of — wait for it — psychiatrists. Mrs. Pelosi's plan has nothing to do with President
Trump's case of Covid, contrary to what she suggested in her mincing press conference on Thursday. She suggested the
idea was precipitated by the President's bout of Covid leaving him in an altered state. On Friday, though, she fetched
up with the bill a congressman from Maryland, Jamie Raskin, has been nursing. We call it the "Et Tu, Brute!
Enablement Act." Mr. Rankin's bill — he's been nursing it since 2017 — would pick up an
unused power granted to Congress in the 25th amendment. The amendment allows for the temporary removal of the president
if a the vice president plus a majority of the cabinet declares he's unable to discharge his duties. The veep and the
cabinet majority just have to transmit that declaration to the Speaker and the president pro-tem of the Senate. If
two-thirds of each house agrees, the president can indefinitely sidelined.
Is There a Doctor
in the House? Too bad there's not a 25th Amendment-type clause in the Constitution granting to the cabinet the
power to remove from office the Speaker of the House. That's our reaction to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement that
she is going to lead tomorrow in the House a discussion in respect of using the 25th Amendment against President Trump.
She's upset that he called off negotiations with her over a Covid relief bill. It seems the Speaker thinks that might
have been a reaction to the steroid the president is taking for his case of the coronavirus. The Daily Mail is
reporting that some doctors are concerned that it can cause insomnia, mania, mood swings, and rage. Then again,
Congress itself has been known to cause in ordinary taxpayers insomnia, mania, mood swings, and rage. So this could yet
turn out to be tomorrow quite a discussion. Plus, one doesn't have to be taking a steroid to see the logic of
Mr. Trump calling off negotiations with the Speaker and her camarilla.

Take a Big Stake in CrowdStrike, Democrat-Connected Linchpin of Russia Probe. The cybersecurity firm
CrowdStrike rose to global prominence in mid-June 2016 when it publicly accused Russia of hacking the Democratic National
Committee and stealing its data. The previously unknown company's explosive allegation set off a seismic chain of
events that engulfs U.S. national politics to this day. The Hillary Clinton campaign seized on CrowdStrike's claim by
accusing Russia of meddling in the election to help Donald Trump. U.S. intelligence officials would soon also endorse
CrowdStrike's allegation and pursue what amounted to a multi-year, all-consuming investigation of Russian interference and
Trump's potential complicity. With the next presidential election now in its final weeks, the Democrats' national
leader, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and her husband, Paul Pelosi, are endorsing the publicly traded firm in a different
way. Recent financial disclosure filings show the couple have invested up to $1 million in CrowdStrike Holdings.
The Pelosis purchased the stock at a share price of $129.25 on Sept. 3. At the time of this article's publication, the price

Kevin
McCarthy: House Members Seeking Path to Determine Nancy Pelosi's Mental Health. House Minority Leader
Kevin McCarthy told the Mark Levin Show on Thursday [10/8/2020] that House members are seeking a way to demand House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) fitness to serve be tested after she said President Donald Trump might be removed under the
Constitution's 25th amendment. Speaker of the House Pelosi announced at her weekly press conference with reporters on
Thursday that she is seating a commission to study Trump's physical and mental ability to govern. [...] McCarthy said it is
the Speaker's mental well-being that is in question given her idea to try to oust the president less than a month before the
general election. "To even bring this up when you're talking 27 days before an election," McCarthy said. "You
know she's second in line right after the vice president." "It really brings into question her own mental capacity to be
Speaker of the House," McCarthy said, adding that Pelosi should be held to the same standard that she's demanding Trump meet.
Nancy
Pelosi's obsession. On Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced legislation to create what would be called
the "Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office." The bill, written by one of Pelosi's
fellow Democrats, Rep. Jamie Raskin, would provide for the implementation of the 25th Amendment to remove a president
deemed too incapacitated to carry out his or her responsibilities. [...] Raskin was one of the original impeachers and, of
course, enthusiastically supported impeachment when Pelosi took it up in 2019. Now, Pelosi and Raskin claim their new
25th Amendment bill has nothing, nothing at all, to do with Trump. [...] When someone says it's not about Trump —
it's about Trump. Indeed, Pelosi's 25th Amendment gambit fits into her party's efforts to remove Trump from office.

Bulk of Pelosi's $2.2 Trillion 'Coronavirus' Bill Goes to Her 'Wish List,' Not to 'Crush the Virus'. House
Democrats, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are demanding Republicans accept their $2.2 trillion so-called "coronavirus
relief" bill — yet, the majority of the bill and its taxpayer funding would go to liberal agenda items unrelated
to coronavirus, analysis by former New York Lieutenant Governor Betsy McCaughey (R) finds. In her article, "Nancy
Pelosi's 'COVID relief' bill is mainly just a left-wing wish list," published Tuesday [10/6/2020] in the New York

Pelosi's 'COVID relief' bill is mainly just a left-wing wish list. [Scroll down] There is almost no
disagreement between Republicans and Democrats over sending every American adult a $1,200 check. But that's a small
part of the total bill. Pelosi's version would fritter away hundreds of billions of dollars closing state and city
budget gaps, with nothing long-term to show for it. We won't be any more prepared for the next pandemic. Pelosi's
bill promises school districts $225 billion, but only $5 billion, or 2 percent, would go to making schools safer
by improving air quality or installing sinks and other hygiene upgrades. The rest is a teachers union protection plan.
Astonishingly, school districts that economize and reduce per-pupil spending or change labor contracts are automatically
ineligible for stimulus funding. The bill allocates $417 billion to state and local governments, with no strings.
This is a lost opportunity to rescue cities that are turning into ghost towns because employees fear the virus and are
working remotely.
Pelosi's 25th Amendment Ploy Is About Biden, Not Trump.
On Friday [10/9/2020], [House Speaker Nancy Pelosi] introduced legislation to establish the Commission on Presidential
Capacity. [...] Naturally, this seems to be an attack on or trolling of President Trump. While that may be true, it's
also a way for Democrats to place Senator Kamala Harris into the presidency if Joe Biden were to win. Pelosi's remarks
show us the way. [...] Biden is simply a so-called electable "moderate" trojan horse for a socialist agenda. Since
being announced as Biden's vice president in August, Sen. Harris has referred to the Democratic presidential ticket as
the Harris/Biden campaign. Biden has done the same. In a number of Biden campaign ads, the former vice president
is featured as a blur in the background of photos, while Harris is prominently displayed out front. In August, Harris
delivered the pre-rebuttal speech to President Trump's Republican National Convention remarks. Not Biden.
Trump:
Pelosi Hopes to Use 25th Amendment to Replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. President Donald Trump told
conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh on Friday [10/9/2020] that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi hopes to use the 25th
Amendment to get rid of Joe Biden if he wins the election and replace him with his running mate, Kamala Harris. Earlier
on Friday, Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) introduced a bill to create a "commission" that would evaluate the
mental and physical fitness of the president — and initiate a process of removing the president from office, if necessary.
Nancy
Pelosi says Donald Trump is 'clearly under medication' which puts him 'in an altered state'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi on Friday rolled out legislation that would set up a commission under the 25th Amendment to weigh whether a
president is incapacitated — but admitted it had nothing to do with removing COVID-19-stricken President Donald
Trump. She had heavily hyped the move on Thursday but when she unveiled the plan, immediately made clear it was in
effect a troll against the president. 'This is not about president Trump. He will face the judgement of the
voters,' Pelosi told reporters in a press conference at the Capitol.
The Editor says...
Speaking of mind-altering drugs, if anyone had ever taken Barack H. Obama aside for an unannounce drug test while he was the
President, I suspect they would have had a few surprises. Such surprises would be even more likely today, but less important.
Pelosi
Announces Commission to Review the Health and Fitness of President Trump for Office. In a sign of desperation,
Pelosi announces a bill that would establish a commission to review the health and fitness of President Trump for office,
which she says is based on the 25th amendment to the constitution. Pelosi and Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) will hold
a press conference tomorrow, Friday, October 9, at 10:15 a.m. E.T. in the Capitol Visitor Center to discuss the
introduction of legislation. The move is viewed as an act of desperation, and gives credibility to the claims that all
polls are rigged. If the Democrats truly believed they were up by high single digits, why would they try to remove a
sitting President so close to election? Especially since such a move has a high risk of backfiring. If they are
attempting to steer the conversion, it's still a high risk strategy by introducing such an explosive variable.
Nancy Pelosi's
latest coup-coup nonsense. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says her team is "going to be talking about the 25th
Amendment" on Friday [10/9/2020] — the latest in a long line of nutty Democratic fantasies of getting rid of
President Trump. Pelosi, who hasn't actually talked to the prez in months, claims to think he's mentally off thanks to
his COVID-19 treatments (or something). Yet she's only exposing (again) Democrats' own Trump Derangement Syndrome,
because this potential coup is an obvious non-starter. [...] The 25th Amendment allows for temporary ouster of a disabled
president, but it requires the active participation of a majority of his Cabinet — or the Republican Senate's
assent to setting up some other body to rule on his fitness. [...] And there is no provision for removing a president just
because Pelosi is offended by his existence.
If You
Can't Impeach Just Screech, Screech, Screech! Nancy promises her base yet another way to depose the
President: the 25th! I doubt she's ever actually read the 25th Amendment but that's okay, that's what she has little
people for. And those bears of little brain have determined that this is a perfectly legal way to pull off the
coup. If you can't impeach you must overreach! Keep it up Nancy, but be advised that you've just activated the
turnabout-is-fair-play rule: we demand to see all of Joey Baby's medical records as well. You know, just
to demonstrate that he possesses the physical stamina and mental acuity necessary to be leader of the free world. And
while we're at it, what medications are you on Madam Speaker? I mean, you are third in line.
Mike
Pence scraps trip to vote early and will stay in D.C. as Nancy Pelosi unveils 'commission' on 25th Amendment.
Vice President Mike Pence has scrapped a planned trip to Indianapolis and will remain in Washington, D.C. Friday, as House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi will unveil a 'commission' on the 25th Amendment — a move to remove President Donald Trump from office.
'Nobody's sick. There's no positive tests. The VP is planning on traveling on Saturday and Monday,' Pence spokesman
Devin O'Malley said. 'We'll have more information on the vice president's schedule next week soon.' On Thursday,
Pence was campaigning in Nevada and Arizona, while Trump remained at the White House, recovering from COVID-19. He was
supposed to travel home to Indiana to vote early in the 2020 election.
Pelosi
Will Re-Unveil 'How to Remove a President Without an Election' Legislation Friday. Now we know what House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's bizarre 25th Amendment comments were really about. During her Thursday [10/8/2020] press
conference, Pelosi told media to come on back Friday to hear something regarding the constitutional amendment by which a
president may be removed from office. Passed in the wake of President Kennedy's assassination in 1963, the 25th spells
out what may be lawfully done when a sitting president is deemed no longer fit to serve.
Pelosi questions
Trump's health, says 'we're going to be talking about the 25th Amendment'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a
dramatic announcement during her weekly press conference Thursday by telling reporters that she intends to discuss a
constitutional measure to remove President Trump from office, following questions regarding Trump's health as he recovers
from coronavirus. The 25th Amendment allows for the vice president to become acting president if is determined that the
president "is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." "Tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow, come here
tomorrow," Pelosi said. "We're going to be talking about the 25th Amendment." The president fired back in a
Thursday afternoon [10/8/2020] tweet. "Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation," he said. "They
don't call her Crazy for nothing!"
It's probably a HIPAA violation to even mention it: Pelosi questions
COVID-19 treatments' effect on Trump's mental fitness after relief talks fall apart. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
pondered out loud whether President Trump's use of an anti-inflammatory drug "was impacting his thinking" after the abrupt
halt of negotiations over the next coronavirus stimulus bill, according to reports. Pelosi questioned whether
dexamethasone, a steroid used for treating some COVID-19 patients, had affected the president's thought process as he
recovers from his illness, during a Democratic call Tuesday, according to CNN's Manu Raju, who cited two people on the
line. The drug's potential side effects can include vertigo, psychic disorders and mood swings, according to the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration.
The Editor says...
The Treasury Secretary has been negotiating on behalf of President
Trump.*
So is Nancy Pelosi saying he and the President are both affected by Trump's medications?
Pelosi
raises possibility of becoming acting president in chaotic election outcome. Speaker Nancy Pelosi raised the
possibility that she might become acting president if neither President Trump nor Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins enough
electoral votes to declare victory in the election on or after Nov. 3. Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters
Thursday [10/1/2020] that she is preparing House Democrats for a potential role in determining the winner with a vote by each
state delegation.
Pelosi
raises possibility of becoming acting president in chaotic election outcome. Speaker Nancy Pelosi raised the
possibility that she might become acting president if neither President Trump nor Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins enough
electoral votes to declare victory in the election on or after Nov. 3. Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters
Thursday that she is preparing House Democrats for a potential role in determining the winner with a vote by each state
delegation. But if a majority still does not emerge for either Trump or Biden, Pelosi said, "then it goes into another
range where the speaker becomes the [president]. It's complicated after that."
Petition
Demanding 'Nancy Pelosi is Prosecuted for COVID Violations' Goes Viral. Thousands have signed the petition
calling for Nancy Pelosi to be 'prosecuted for COVID violations[.]' A petition has gone viral across social media that
is calling for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to be "prosecuted by San Francisco for her flaunting of COVID
regulations." The viral campaign has gathered tens of thousands of signatures in response to Speaker Pelosi being
caught on camera in a hair salon without a mask earlier this month.
Pelosi
Says President Trump is "Trying to Have the Constitution of the United States Swallow Clorox". 80-year-old
Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said President Trump is "trying to have the Constitution of the United States swallow Clorox."
House Speaker Pelosi made this bizarre claim shortly have she once again asserted that Trump told Americans to drink bleach
to kill the Coronavirus. We need term limits. Pelosi also backed off and said impeaching President Trump a second
time "isn't worth the trouble at this point."
Sounds like slander to me. Pelosi
calls police in Breonna Taylor case 'murderers'. After evaluating the evidence, a citizen grand jury decided
the police officers in the Breonna Taylor case acted in self-defense, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling them
murderers, contending there are two systems of justice in the United States. "Justice was denied for Breonna Taylor and
her family," she said Thursday at her weekly news conference. "Just think if it were your daughter, your sister, your cousin,
your relative, your friend, who was murdered by the police, and the charging decision held no one accountable for her death."
Is
Nancy Pelosi deliberately trying to stir up riots across America? [Nancy] Pelosi seemingly believes that 2020
has given her license to violate all political norms. In the past two months, Pelosi has called federal law officers
"stormtroopers," violated the mask rule she insists upon for others, claimed that she was a victim of a hair salon "set up,"
and blamed California's fires, which are the product of natural heat waves and abysmal land management, on an "angry" Mother
Nature. Her worst act ever, though, could be her siding with the mob with the lie that the Louisville police involved
with Breonna Taylor's death are murderers. [...] But looking out for the good of the nation isn't San Fran Nan's style.
Her style is that she will do anything, including destroying America if it means achieving political power. That's why
she went full demagogue, insisting that Taylor was "murdered by the police": [...]
Pelosi
doubles down that Biden shouldn't debate Trump: 'Why bother?'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday doubled
down on her argument that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden should not debate President Trump, claiming the
Republican incumbent and his "henchmen" have no "fidelity" to facts or the truth. Asked during an interview on "Morning
on CBS" whether she still believed the former vice president should skip the three scheduled debates, Pelosi said: "Oh,
I do. Not that I don't think he'll be excellent. I just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or truth
and, actually in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the Constitution of the United States."
Pelosi
Backs Off: Nancy Now Says Trump 'Not Worth the Trouble' of Impeaching a Second Time. Speaker of the House
Nancy Pelosi backed-away from previous comments she made regarding a second round of impeachment trials to upend the
President's Supreme Court pick; saying Donald Trump "isn't worth the trouble at this point." Pelosi was speaking with
reporters at the US Capitol Thursday when she was asked to comment on her efforts to derail the nomination process. "I
don't think he's worth the trouble at this point," said Pelosi. Pelosi threatened the drastic political maneuver just
days ago, [...]
Nancy
Pelosi and the Party of 'Science, Science, Science'. It should come as no surprise that "ardent Catholic" Nancy
Pelosi is once again at odds with a bishop. This time, the disagreement is with her local shepherd, archbishop of San
Francisco Salvatore Joseph Cordileone. The archbishop has started to complain publicly at the way California's lockdown
rules are specifically aimed at keeping houses of worship shuttered, and he wants his churches re-opened. Pelosi, on
the basis of no scientific evidence at all, says that because it's not yet "scientifically safe" for people to attend Mass in
person, it will be "jeopardizing people's health" to follow Archbishop Cordileone's rash counsel. "With all due respect
to my archbishop," Pelosi says, "I think we should follow science on this." But the archbishop hasn't got any problem with
science. He just wants an answer to one parishioner's question: "I can spend three hours indoors in Nordstrom,
why can't I go to Mass indoors?"
Nancy
Pelosi blurts out 'Good Morning, Sunday morning' after being asked about impeaching Trump over Supreme Court
vote. Nancy Pelosi appeared to lose her train of thought and randomly blurted out 'Good morning, Sunday
morning' during an interview on ABC's This Week. Host George Stephanopoulos had asked the House Speaker about
possibility of a second attempt at impeaching Trump in the coming months. But instead of responding to the anchor's
question, Pelosi came out with the random phrase, before laughing and then continuing, while avoiding answering the question.
Unhinged:
Pelosi's Comments Concerning Impeachment to Stop SCOTUS Nomination. [Scroll down] These folks have gone
off the deep end and are dangerous. Americans, take a look if any of you are considering voting for Democrats.
They are now threatening action against the president for following the Constitution. Even if you didn't like what
Republicans did in 2016, there is absolutely no question that the president and Republicans are completely in accord with the
Constitution if they proceed with a hearing now. There is nothing which is even remotely impeachable. Attacking
it or threatening the president over it is against the Constitution. It's the Democrats who once again are threatening
to upend all norms. What wouldn't they try to do to get their way? Democrats have already threatened to try to
pack the court if they won back the presidency. Is there any greater evidence with all this that they should never be
voted back in and never given that chance?
Pelosi:
House has 'arrows in our quiver' to delay SCOTUS nomination. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday morning
that the House has plenty of options available to delay the Senate from acting on President Donald Trump's nominees for the
Supreme Court. "Well, we have our options," she said on ABC's "This Week," replying to host George Stephanopoulos'
question about whether the House would consider launching impeachment proceedings to block the confirmation of a Trump
Supreme Court nomination. "We have arrows in our quiver that I'm not about to discuss right now, but the fact is we
have a big challenge in our country. The president has threatened to not even accept the results of the election with
statements that he and his henchmen have made."
Pelosi
doesn't rule out using impeachment as option to stop Trump Supreme Court pick. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on
Sunday would not rule out impeachment as an option to stop President Trump's U.S. Supreme Court pick from being confirmed to
the bench, saying Democrats will "use every arrow in our quiver" to block the eventual nominee. Just hours after it was
announced that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed away on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., vowed that a Trump nominee to the Supreme Court to fill her vacancy "will receive a vote on the floor of the United
States Senate."
Nancy Pelosi's
Reign of Error. Nancy Pelosi made news late last month, and not in a good way. She was caught on a
security camera having her hair done at a San Francisco salon that has been closed to the public during the coronavirus
lockdown. [...] If you have followed Pelosi's career over the past 15 or so years, the whole affair was hardly a
surprise. Pelosi is one of the most unpopular figures in the last decade of American politics. [...] Consider, for
instance, her dramatic tearing up of Trump's State of the Union address last winter. It was a cheap and shabby piece of
theatrics, quite beneath the dignity of the office of the speaker, and certainly not endearing to the pragmatic voters who
make up the broad middle of the country. But the Democratic "base," the ideological die-hards who make up maybe a third
of the country, adored it. And because Pelosi's position within the party caucus depends, ultimately, on their support,
it was a political winner in the moment.
Internal
Polls Must Be Really Bad: After Initially Embracing Maoist Mob, Pelosi Now Calls For Prosecution of
Rioters. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) did a complete 180 on Thursday [9/17/2020] and called for rioters to
be prosecuted. "We support peaceful demonstrations. We participate in them. They are part of the essence of
our democracy. That does not include looting, starting fires, or rioting. They should be prosecuted. That
is lawlessness," Pelosi said. It's too late, Pelosi! [Video clip]
Donald
Trump: Salon Owner Who Turned in Nancy Pelosi Can Do My Hair Anytime. President Donald Trump ridiculed
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday for visiting a hair salon without a mask, breaking coronavirus restrictions in San
Francisco. "Crazy Nancy. Crazy as a bedbug," Trump said. Trump recalled the beauty parlor scandal during a
campaign rally in Wisconsin, noting that the salon owner turned in the footage to Fox News, which went viral. "How
about that, Huh? We love her," Trump said, noting that the salon owner was a supporter of him. "She can do my
hair anytime. I think I am going to call her in. Check it out."
'Forget
him': Pelosi defends not speaking to Trump for almost a year. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended how she has
handled her relationship with President Trump — after it was pointed out that the two leaders haven't spoken in
almost a year amid mounting crises. Speaking to MSNBC's Craig Melvin on Monday [9/14/2020], Pelosi (D-Calif.) faced
pushback after repeatedly saying "Forget him" while answering a question about countering the commander-in-chief's rhetoric
and narrative. Melvin noted to the nation's highest elected Democrat that, "with all due respect, you just said,
'Forget him.'" "Yeah, forget him," she responded. The MSNBC host then asked if she and the president had "just
stopped talking? Is that where we are?" "You haven't talked to him about the wildfires, I get the impression you
probably haven't talked to him about the coronavirus relief bill." Pelosi and Trump have not spoken since the House
speaker got up and walked out of a heated White House meeting in October 2019.
Pelosi
Ditches Science, Blames 'Angry' 'Mother Earth' For California's Wildfires. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D)
claims to love science when it's convenient. She routinely scolds President Trump over coronavirus science despite the
fact that Dr. Fauci and others on the president's COVID team say he has always followed the science on it. Pelosi
also claims the science is on her side when it comes to climate. So why, then, did she toss out the science and go full
Gaia during a recent interview on the California wildfires? [...] If you're goading others to "follow the science" while you
also appeal to the authority of "Mother Earth," you're doing both science and mysticism wrong.
I
refuse to play Nancy Pelosi's Washington games. Playing the game in Washington means dancing to the tune of
party leadership, lobbyists, and major donors. It means you don't play across the aisle. It means doing as you
are told. It means you are perfectly fine with the status quo, even if that means voting on legislation that spends
trillions of dollars of taxpayer money when you have less than 24 hours to review, let alone debate it. It means
staying quiet and abandoning your principles. I refuse to play that game.
Salon
owner Erica Kious is closing her shop after Nancy Pelosi's maskless visit. San Francisco salon owner Erica
Kious said she is closing her business after the infamous visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Fox News reported. "I am
actually done in San Francisco and closing my doors, unfortunately," Kious told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night [9/9/2020].
"I started to just get a ton of phone calls, text messages, emails, all my Yelp reviews ... saying that they hope I go under and
that I fail," she told the host about her eSalon. "So just a lot of negativity towards my business." Kious has denied
Pelosi's accusation that she set her up after releasing a video of the speaker walking around her business bare-faced, sparking
charges of hypocrisy in light of the lawmaker's frequent calls to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously.
Business
Owner Out of San Francisco After Exposing Pelosi's Secret Spa Day. The salon owner who released footage of
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's secret spa day was forced to close her doors this week; saying she plans on leaving San Francisco and
is "afraid to go back" to the city. "San Francisco hair salon owner Erica Kious is shutting her doors for good after
controversy over a visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week destroyed her business," reports Fox News.
MSNBC host
didn't bother to ask Nancy Pelosi about salon controversy during one-on-one interview. An MSNBC host didn't
bother to ask about the controversy surrounding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to a San Franciso hair salon —
in violation of state and local ordinances amid the coronavirus pandemic — when the Democratic leader joined the
liberal network on Sunday [9/6/2020]. Maria Teresa Kumar filled in for Joy Reid on MSNBC's "AM Joy" when she gave
Pelosi a pass "with a softball interview exclusively focused on attacking President Trump," according to Media Research Center
analyst Kristine Marsh. "Amazingly, Kumar gave the Democrat leader a 14-minute interview and not ONE question about
Pelosi hypocritically violating her own city's coronavirus guidelines to visit a salon and get her hair done indoors at the
end of August, maskless," Marsh wrote.
The Editor says...
The interview was probably pre-arranged on the condition that any mention of the salon scandal was off-limits.
Pelosi's
Labor Day tweet paying homage to 'hard-working families' gets panned amid salon fallout. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, who was accused by critics last week of using her platform to damage a local hair salon owner in San Francisco, was
called out on Monday over a tweet she posted celebrating the "hard-working families" across the U.S. on Labor Day.
"Over generations, working people across America built the middle class and secured progress for hard-working families,"
Pelosi wrote. "House Democrats are unified in our commitment to America's working families. Happy #LaborDay!"
The tweet didn't sit well with some commenters who pointed to her recent visit to a hair salon.
It is
time for Nancy Pelosi to be held accountable. Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to ignore her own actions as she
tries to pass the blame on President Trump. On Friday [9/4/2020], she shared a report that talks about the potential
total of coronavirus deaths and blamed Trump's failure of leadership for it. The problem is, Pelosi is not so innocent
herself. As previously reported, she was caught on video violating the mask order that she claims were so
important. She violated local laws, while many other Americans around the country have been arrested, jailed, fined,
and more for those same actions. Pelosi has said now is a time for leadership to show the way.
Hair salon owner
thanks supporters after more than $300G raised. San Francisco hair salon owner Erica Kious thanked supporters
for their "outpouring" of "empathy and generosity" amid her feud with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after a crowdfunding effort
raised several hundred thousand dollars for her. During an exclusive interview with Fox News on Monday [9/7/2020],
Kious said that a GoFundMe page that was created for her amid the controversy reached its goal, which was $300,000.

Questions No Reporter Dares Ask Joe Biden And His Campaign. On Nancy Pelosi: The speaker of the House was
recently seen violating local COVID-19 mandates to get her hair done without a mask at a San Francisco salon. Other
Democratic leaders have also violated COVID-19 regulations to keep their comfort. What are your thoughts on leaders who
don't follow the rules that they create, encourage, and condemn others for not following? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
said she doesn't believe you should participate in debates with President Trump, accusing him of trying to "undermine the
elections" and disrespecting "the democratic process." Do you believe that participating in debates where you can each
share your opinions free of regulation or limitation violates these concepts?
The parable
of Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi has done everything necessary to turn the story of her private visit to the
closed hair salon in San Francisco into a timely political parable. The video below tells the parable in a form that is
both compelling and enraging. Its power stems from its fidelity to the truth. I wish I could pay tribute to
whoever is responsible for it, but I have no idea. [Video clip]
Tearful
Salon Owner Says 'Mrs. Pelosi Owes the Entire Country an Apology'. Salon owner Erica Kious told a Zoom
press conference on Thursday that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was lying to say she was "set up," and that she
should apologize to America and to small business owners and workers struggling to survive. Pelosi was caught on
surveillance camera attending Kious's salon earlier this week for a private hair appointment indoors with a stylist, Jonathan
DeNardo. San Francisco and Alameda counties are still not allowing salons to reopen indoors due to going coronavirus
restrictions.
CBS
Reporter Goes Against Grain, Torches Pelosi's 'Set-Up' Claim in HaircutGate. While many in the mainstream media
have predictably rushed to defend House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hypocritical Monday trip to a shuttered San Francisco hair
salon for a haircut and highlights, at least one journalist has dared to go against the grain with critical comments
condemning her actions and her excuse-making and blame games. San Francisco salon owner Erica Kious has received bad
reviews and death threats after Pelosi (D-CA) bizarrely accused her of a "set-up" over the leaked video footage, which was
published Tuesday. Kathryn Watson, a White House reporter for CBS News digital, took to the Twitter machine not long
after the news first broke of Pelosi's display of double standards. Watson first responded to a tweet reporting that a
spokesman for Pelosi proclaimed she didn't know she'd done anything wrong by going to the salon.
Protesters
in hair curlers gather outside Pelosi's house. Protesters rallied at the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
following backlash over her recent visit to a San Francisco hair salon. On Thursday, more than a dozen women showed up
outside Pelosi's Pacific Heights mansion wearing smocks and hair curlers. According to reports, the crowd made noise
for more than 30-minutes and hung hair-dryers from a nearby tree. This came in protest of the video of an unmasked
Pelosi walking through a salon with wet hair.
Trump
Campaign Savages Nancy Pelosi Salon Controversy In New Ad. On Friday [9/4/2020], the Trump campaign released a
brutal ad savaging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for getting a hair blow out at a salon in San Francisco without a wearing a
mask and then having the audacity to claim she fell victim to a "set up" after getting caught. Throughout the
two-minute ad, Nancy Pelosi is constantly referred to as "Nancy Antoinette," a reference to the French queen Marie
Antoinette, [...] Interspersed throughout are video and audio clips of Pelosi advising people to wear masks all the while not
wearing a mask herself when visiting eSalon in San Francisco. The ad reaches its most unsettling moment when clips show
Erica Kious, the salon's owner, lamenting about how online trolls have threatened to destroy her business for revealing the
truth about Pelosi's behavior.

Women Hang Blow Dryers on Tree Outside Nancy Pelosi's Home. A group of demonstrators on Thursday hung blow
dyers and curlers on a tree outside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) San Francisco residence after the top congressional
Democrat was caught violating coronavirus lockdown restrictions in her home city to get her hair done without a mask.
The demonstrators, who appeared to all be women, branded themselves as "angry salon customers" who want to get their hair done.
L.A.
Lifts Ban on Indoor Salon Services After Pelosi is Caught Breaking the Rules. Two days after House Speaker
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was caught breaking the San Francisco Health Department rules, Los Angeles County
Supervisor Janice Hahn announced the county will revise its coronavirus restrictions to allow indoor salon operations.
On Wednesday [9/2/2020], Supervisor Hahn tweeted the news that salons will be able resume indoor operations at 25% capacity
"under modified conditions"[.]
Nancy
Pelosi is just too important to obey the rules. Erica Kious is now getting threats against her life and her
business for exposing the hypocrisy of Nancy Pelosi, who accuses the salon owner of a "setup" that caught her on camera
getting her hair done indoors, against lockdown rules, and without wearing a mask, to boot. Does Pelosi really expect
people to believe she was ignorant of her city's anti-COVID rules — and also the staffers who bird-dog the
schedule of the speaker of the House? No: Pelosi knew she was cheating. She just can't admit she believes
the rules don't apply to her but only to those whose livelihoods they're destroying.
As SF shutters and
crumbles, Nancy nibbles with the Nobs. City leaders and activists are working hard to lock down San Francisco
businesses and defund the police, but one Democrat didn't get the memo for either. Speaker Pelosi, in a follow up to
the HairGate disaster, lunched Wednesday [9/2/2020] at the Pacific Union Club, an exclusive band of historically incorrect
Old San Franciscans. While many restaurants around the city close for good, her maskless meal reminds one that those in
the know can still get a sit-down bite to eat in the city with little ado. Nor have calls to eliminate the SFPD
inconvenienced Ms. Pelosi. A Department of Homeland Security officer with a bomb sniffing dog walked the whole
block before she went inside.
Salon
Forced To Relocate Due To 'Death Threats' After Owner Exposed Nancy Pelosi. On Wednesday's [9/2/2020] broadcast
of the Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Erica Kious, the owner of the San Francisco hair salon that House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) visited, reacted to Pelosi's claim that she was set up by stating that Pelosi or her staff made the
appointment and wondered, "if she's in there comfortably, without a mask, and feeling safe, then why are we shut down?"
Kious said Pelosi "had called a stylist in, or her assistant did, and made the appointment. So, the appointment was
already booked. So, there was no way I could've set that up. And I've had a camera system in there for five
years. I mean, I didn't go in there and turn cameras on as soon as she walked in to set her up. So, that's
absolutely false." The video shows Pelosi entering a room followed by another person — the stylist, according
to Fox News — who is wearing a mask. It is not clear whether she subsequently put her mask back on.
Queen
Nancy Personifies the Democrat Party's Contempt for Ordinary Americans. [W]hy do we care where Queen Nancy gets
her hair done? — The answer to that is simple, isn't it? It's because she has been one of the loudest
Democrat voices over the last six months lecturing the little people of America to stay locked up in their homes and only
venture out when wearing a mask. She's been one of the most ardent fans of the lockdowns mandated by despicable
Democrat governors like her step-nephew Gavin Newsom, putting millions of little people out of work and shuttering hundreds
of thousands of businesses. Even worse than her act of intentionally violating nephew Gavin's lockdown/mask orders on
Sunday by intimidating a single mother salon owner to open her shuttered business just for her decrepit, stringy mane was
Queen Nancy's response to getting caught. She couldn't lower herself to do the simple thing: To admit her
wrongdoing and ask to be forgiven. Instead, she haughtily claimed at a press conference to having been "set up" and
demanded that the salon owner she had intimidated apologize to her.
Nancy
Pelosi's trip to the hair salon did not end well. Nancy Pelosi had a Marie Antoinette moment this week in San
Francisco. Despite the fact that hair salons are shuttered due to California's lockdown on businesses, Madame Speaker
ventured out for a shampoo and blowout at a local salon. It must have come as quite a surprise to find herself on a
video shown by a cable news network as she walked from one area of the establishment to another with wet hair and wearing a
non-descript salon smock. A security camera caught it and Fox News obtained the video. Tuesday [9/1/2020] the
cable network ran it as an exclusive story.

that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I
can't work," Kious reportedly said about Pelosi.
Democrats
won't live by the pandemic standards they force on everyone else. The public has been subjected to coronavirus
lockdowns of varying degrees for over five months and counting, but prominent Democrats have decided that they should be
exempt from the restrictions everyone else must abide by. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi openly flouted these restrictions
recently when she got her hair coiffed at a San Francisco salon that remains closed to the public. Local ordinances
only allow for outdoor services, and Pelosi was captured on security video not wearing a mask. Despite the evidence,
her spokesman declared that the speaker "always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements." Pelosi's not
the only one. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly been caught not wearing a mask despite his incessant
demands that everyone else do so.
Pelosi
says salon owes her an apology for 'setup'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called her appointment at a local salon
a "setup" after critics accused her of violating a San Francisco ordinance to get her hair done. Addressing reporters
on Wednesday, the California Democrat fired back at those accusing her of hypocritically shaming others for not wearing
medical masks after video showed her walking through a salon without a mask.
Salon
Owner Now Targeted by Nancy Pelosi Hate Mob. Salon Owner Erica Kious denies Nancy Pelosi's claim that she was
set up after video surfaces of the House speaker's maskless visit. Additionally, Kious outlines the hatred now being
directed toward her by the extreme leftists within the San Francisco community. [Video clip]
Pelosi's
hair-pocrisy reflects Dems' hypocrisy. It's hard not to relish in the schadenfreude of Nancy Pelosi being
caught on security camera, with wet hair, bare feet and no mask, indulging in an illicit private hair-salon experience in San
Francisco. She violated coronavirus health rules by the city, which has ordered salons shut since March. The day
after her Monday visit, they were allowed to open, for outdoor services only, but no blowouts, and masks are mandatory.
So, Speaker Pelosi violated at least three rules. But such is her sense of entitlement that she refuses to apologize,
and on Wednesday she blamed the hard-pressed workers who serviced her tresses, claiming they told her the appointment she
requested was kosher. What happened to "No one is above the law?"
Politico
Reporter Questions Legality Of Posting Security Footage Of Pelosi, Citing California As 'Two-Party Consent' State. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi got caught red-handed being a typical Democrat — do what I say, not what I do. The California Democrat
has long demanded a full shutdown of everything (she'll be fine — she's got a $25,000 freezer stuffed with $16 pints of ice cream),
and she has called for a nationwide mandate that all Americans wear masks. But then she was seen in security footage popping over to a
hair salon to get a blowout — and she wasn't wearing a mask (of course). The story exploded across the internet, with most
having the same view — what a hypocrite.
Bias alert: This article comes from CNN. Notice the gentle reproof mixed with hagiography. Nancy
Pelosi just handed Trump a campaign gift. Nancy Pelosi is one of the — if not the —
smartest political strategists in the Democratic Party. As such, she knows that appearances matter in politics. A
lot. Which is why her decision to have her hair done indoors at a shop in San Francisco makes so little sense. In
security footage obtained by Fox News, Pelosi is shown inside the salon without a mask. Fox also reported that the
owner of the salon, Erica Kious, was angry that Pelosi had been allowed to violate the rules put in place during the
coronavirus pandemic that mandates haircuts can only be given outside. Kious said it was "a slap in the face that she
went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can't work."
Pelosi
says she was 'set up' by San Francisco salon. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she was "set up" during her
recent salon trip, which has sparked a wave of backlash from Republicans. "I take responsibility for taking the word of
a neighborhood salon that I've been to many times. They said they were able to accommodate one person at a time... I
trusted that," Mrs. Pelosi said. "It turns out, it was a set up. So I take responsibility for falling for a
set up." "I think this salon owes me an apology for setting [me] up," she added.
San
Francisco Salon Owner Says Nancy Pelosi Broke Lockdown Order For Blowout. A San Francisco salon owner says
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) violated the city's coronavirus lockdown order to get her hair done. Security footage
taken from the small business and provided to Fox News appears to confirm the salon owner's allegation, showing the leading
House Democrat with wet hair and no mask walking through the shop on Monday. Hair salons across the city were allowed
to open for outdoor services only on Monday for the first time since March. "It was a slap in the face that she went
in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can't work,"
Erica Kious, owner of eSalon, told Fox News.
Pelosi
Admits Breaking Lockdown For Salon Visit; Blames Business, Says She Did Nothing Wrong. On Tuesday [9/1/2020], House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) released a statement via her deputy chief of staff confessing to breaking city lockdown rules to
get her hair done indoors at a San Francisco salon on Monday, seemingly without wearing a mask. Pelosi, however, is not
admitting to any wrongdoing, instead shifting blame to the salon she visited. "The Speaker always wears a mask and
complies with local COVID requirements," said a statement from Pelosi's deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill, according to FOX
KTVU. "This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one
customer at a time in the business," Hammill added. "The Speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this
establishment."
The rules apply to you, not to her. Pelosi used
shuttered San Francisco hair salon for blow-out, owner calls it 'slap in the face'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
visited a San Francisco hair salon on Monday afternoon for a wash and blow-out, despite local ordinances keeping salons
closed amid the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News has learned. In security footage obtained by Fox News, and timestamped
Monday at 3:08 p.m. Pacific Time, the California powerhouse is seen walking through eSalon in San Francisco with wet
hair, and without a mask over her mouth or nose. The stylist doing her hair can be seen following her wearing a black
face mask. Salons in San Francisco had been closed since March and were only notified they could reopen on Sept. 1
for outdoor hairstyling services only.
Trump
Campaign Requests 'Written Confirmation' Basement Biden Will Participate in Presidential Debates. President
Trump's campaign is requesting "written confirmation" that Joe Biden (D) will participate in the three in-person presidential
debates this fall following last week's remark from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who told reporters that there should
not be any debates between the two. The Speaker became the latest high profile Democrat to discourage Biden from
participating in the upcoming presidential debates, predicting them to be nothing more than an "exercise in skullduggery."
"I wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States," she said.
Rep
Jim Banks Calls On Pelosi To Condemn Attacks On Rand Paul After She Called GOP Lawmakers 'Enemies Of The
State". Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks called on Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Friday to
condemn attacks against guests to the Republican National Convention. Banks spoke out Friday [8/28/2020] after
protestors harassed Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and swarmed around Republican Florida Rep. Brian Mast in
Washington, D.C. following the fourth night of the RNC where President Donald Trump spoke from the White House.
Now
Republicans are Enemies of the State. [Scroll down] We could shrug off Pelosi's use of the words "enemies
of the state" as hyperbole. But there's a concept behind those words and actual law. Is Pelosi really being
sloppy with language? The speaker hasn't just spent most of her adult life in politics; she grew up in it. Her
father, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr., was a Baltimore congressman and mayor. Her brother, Tommy D'Alesandro III, was
Baltimore mayor, too. No passes for Pelosi. When Pelosi refers to enemies of the state, she's alluding to
subversion, "the attempt to weaken or destroy a political system or a government." If we follow Pelosi's thread,
Republicans who oppose mail-in balloting ploys are subversives. What punishments will be meted out to Republicans
should Democrats claim the presidency? Or even if they don't? Because we know that Democrats can be awfully
punitive without the executive power. There's law defining an "enemy of the United States." It's reasonably
specific. But so what? Democrat-appointed judges have a knack for creatively interpreting law.
'I
Don't Think There Should Be Any Debates:' Nancy Pelosi Says Biden Should Not 'Legitimize' Trump. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said on Thursday [8/27/2020] that Joe Biden should not participate in debates with President Trump
during the general election campaign. "Don't tell anybody I told you this, especially don't tell Joe Biden: I
don't think there should be any debates," Pelosi told reporters at a press conference. "I do not think that the
president of the United States has comported himself in a way that has any association with truth, evidence, data, and
facts. I wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States."
The Editor says...
Ms. Pelosi doesn't want Biden to debate Trump (or even submit to a moderately friendly interview on Fox News Sunday) because
Joe Biden will make a fool of himself if he speaks extemporaneously on live TV.
Nancy
Pelosi: "I Don't Think That There Should Be Any Debates. You knew this was going to happen.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Thursday morning, "I don't think there should be any debates." Then she added, "I
wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him." Anyone paying attention knew this was coming. There is no way [...]
senile Joe Biden can stand in a debate with President Donald Trump.
And the
Acting President is Nancy Pelosi. As you know, President Trump has said that "there was a mad theory" that if
the election results are not known by January 20, then Nancy Pelosi would be President. As usually, the MSM has labeled
this as false or misleading. It is, of course, correct — mostly. Let's start with what happens if the
Electoral College cannot certify presidential election results by January 20 and let's use the Congressional Research
Service (a part of the Library of Congress) as our source: [...] Let's be clear on the main point which is that if Electoral
College has not certified a new president by January 20, 2021, there will be an Acting President. It will either
be the Speaker of the House or President pro tempore of the Senate. It will not be Donald Trump ... period.
Nancy
Pelosi Goes On Deranged Rant, Labels Republicans 'Enemies of the State'. Nancy Pelosi is not well. That's
the impression any normal person would get watching her over the last several months. As the possible re-election of
Donald Trump has grown closer, she's become more and more unhinged (see Nancy Pelosi Has a Mental Breakdown On Camera, Starts
Yelling 'No' At Reporter Over and Over). And it's not just the words she says. It's also her mannerisms, her stumbling
over her words, and the constant need to suck on her own teeth, as if they are always just seconds from exiting her
mouth. This is not a woman who should still hold a position of power are the age of 80. Today [8/24/2020], she
once again upped the toxicity of the rhetoric in a wild rant where she labeled Republicans "enemies of the state" and
"domestic enemies to our voting system."
Insure
The Domestic Tranquility? — Nancy Pelosi Calls President Trump, Republicans and Trump Supporters: "Enemies
of The State". According to the Preamble of our Constitution, one of the purposes for establishing our
Constitutional Republic was to insure domestic tranquility: [...] The dictionary defines Tranquility as a peaceful, calm
state, without noise, violence, worry, etc. It is only late August 2020 and there must be a certain level of
desperation in the background of the Democrat party because the rhetoric and promotion of violence is off-the-charts.
At the same time as violent democrats and their various funded and affiliated grassroot anarchist groups are engaged in
riots, looting, mayhem and political chaos, the United States Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, goes to the microphones to
declare President Trump and his supporters: "Enemies of The State."
Here's
why progressives are furious over Nancy Pelosi's endorsement of Joe Kennedy. Just as the Democratic Party is
seeking to solidify its diverse base around the candidacy of former vice president Joe Biden this week at an all-virtual
Democratic convention, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's endorsement of Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III in Massachusetts'
Senate Democratic primary race is reopening old wounds. After Pelosi announced Thursday that she would endorse Kennedy
over incumbent Senator Edward J. Markey, a number of progressives took to Twitter to denounce the move on the grounds that
the Democratic Party establishment has effectively blacklisted other candidates and organizations for doing the very thing
Kennedy is doing: Mounting a primary challenge against an incumbent Democrat.
President Pelosi?
President Trump's warning to a conservative gathering that before this election is resolved the person who could next emerge
as President is Nancy Pelosi, well, it's a startling point. It's not entirely idle, though. The Constitution, and
legislation it grants the Congress the power to pass, both envision a situation where the Speaker could automatically become
president at 12:01 p.m. o'clock on January 20. Neither Mr. Trump, as we understand him, nor we are saying
such an event is likely. Just possible. Were it to come to pass, though, it would be completely — to the
degree that there is such a constitutional concept — kosher. That's because of the 20th Amendment. It
says that the "terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January," no ifs, ands, or
buts. It also says that the terms of the Senators and Congressmen end at noon on January 3. That means the
116th Congress ends and the 117th begins 17 days before Mr. Trump's term is up.
Pelosi:
Republican Party Has Been 'Highjacked' by Trump's 'Cult'. Tuesday [8/18/2020] on MSNBC, House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) said the Republican Party has been "highjacked" by a "cult-like group of people and others who are afraid of
defying the cult leader," who she said was President Donald Trump.
Coronavirus is a long-lasting, all-purpose crisis, and the perfect excuse for all kinds of legislative mischief. Pelosi
calls members back to Capitol Hill to consider USPS legislation, calls post office 'Election Central' amid coronavirus.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested members could be brought back from August recess to address issues regarding the
U.S. Postal Service, while urging Democrats to appear at their local post offices amid the battle to protect mail-in
ballots for the 2020 presidential election. Pelosi, D-Calif., on Sunday said the post office has become "Election
Central" due to the coronavirus pandemic even as President Trump and Republicans have warned for months that universal
mail-in ballots would cause widespread voter fraud in the election.
Is she clueless or just mendacious? Pelosi
Falsely Claims That 'Social Security Benefits' Are Delivered by Post Office Mail. In a letter to her
Democratic colleagues in Congress about President Trump's alleged manipulation of the U.S. Postal Service, House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) falsely claims that "Social Security benefits" are delivered by mail. This is not true because,
as the Social Security Administration states in its own literature, "If you get Social Security benefits, you must receive
your payments electronically."
Nancy
Pelosi, House Dems mull early return from break to address USPS. Members of the House are reportedly
considering rushing back from their August break to address the Trump administration's handling of the U.S. Postal
Service. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues are discussing a possible return to Washington within the
next two weeks, sources told Politico. The Chamber had originally planned to stay in recess until mid-September.
The Editor says...
Must be nice to take a month-long paid vacation in the middle of the summer.
Now a word from one of America's foremost pro-abortion politicians: Pelosi
on Coronavirus Relief: 'Everything I Do Is About the Children'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday
discussed the stalled economic relief talks in Congress. Pelosi said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" [8/13/2020 (?)] that
President Donald Trump has stood in the Democrats' way as they want to have vote-by-mail and safely reopen schools in the
fall. She added that everything she does "is about the children," and she has "advice" for children, "whether they want
it or not."
President
Donald Trump: 'Obstructionist' Nancy Pelosi 'Wasn't Interested' in Helping People in Need. President Donald
Trump told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Monday afternoon in the Oval Office that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are "obstructionists" who were not "interested" in helping people in need.
Asked to open the nearly 30-minute interview why he needed to continue coronavirus economic recovery aid via executive order
instead of through legislation passed by Congress, Trump told Breitbart News that it is because "we have obstructionists on
the other side."
Trump
boxes Democrats into a corner on help for the unemployed. President Trump has given the Democrats a surprise
thrashing, hoisting them on their own petard over stimulus payments in what must be the legislative jiujitsu of the year.
[...] They had their chance to pass a stimulus bill that would have helped the unemployed, but for them,
first-things-first: They held that package hostage to the all-important need, for them, of bailing out mismanaged blue
Democrat cites and their unions. The little guy's $400 weekly unemployment check booster would have to wait.
Plus, multi-milionaire Pelosi pooh-poohed those checks as "an illusion" same as she did the news that workers were getting
$1,000 raises during the Trump boom years, calling those "crumbs."
Pelosi
claims PBS' Woodruff acting like GOP 'advocate' when pushed on unspent pandemic relief. Speaker Nancy Pelosi
was so displeased this week with PBS' Judy Woodruff that she accused the journalist of serving as an "advocate" for the
Republican Party. The California Democrat became visibly frustrated during a "One on One" interview Tuesday in which
Ms. Woodruff asked why Democrats couldn't seem to find a principled compromise with Republicans on another round of
coronavirus relief. "Democrats want more money, Republicans want a lot less," Ms. Woodruff said. "They are
saying they're willing to show flexibility, and they're also saying a lot of the money that was passed in the Spring, Madam
Speaker, has not even been spent yet."
PBS
Challenged Speaker Pelosi Over Coronavirus Relief; A Meltdown Ensued. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi must
have thought she was going to have an easy interview with PBS News Hour's Judy Woodruff. This is PBS. They're supposed
to be on our side, right? There's talk of another coronavirus stimulus dominating the Hill. The August recess has
been put on hold until an agreement is hashed out. Pelosi said there will be a compromise, but Woodruff's line-by-line
questioning on where common ground could be found was met with frustration from the top Democrat. Actually, it was
something of a meltdown, with Pelosi accusing Woodruff of shilling for Republicans. It was quite entertaining.
Woodruff responded by saying she was just playing devil's advocates, noting that the GOP had offered to extend unemployment
benefits, that they too have monies allocated for schools and food programs, and that money passed in the spring during the
first string of coronavirus relief bills has yet to be spent.
Nancy
Pelosi Stands with Anti-Semites. Last Wednesday [7/29/2020], Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi endorsed
Rep. Rashida Tlaib in her August 4 Michigan Democratic primary rematch with Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones,
whom Tlaib narrowly defeated in 2018. Similarly, for the August 11 Minnesota primary, Pelosi endorsed another of
Congress' three Israel-boycotters, Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has been enthusiastically praised by David Duke, and was voted
2019 Antisemite of the Year in a poll by stopantisemitism.org. What is Pelosi's motivation in supporting them? Is
it identity politics? In Omar's race, Pelosi had the option of endorsing her progressive African-American opponent, who
opposes the Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) campaign to isolate and destroy Israel. In Tlaib's race, where opponent
Brenda Jones is a staunch ally of Rev. Louis Farrakhan, Pelosi had the option of staying neutral.
Sit
down, Nancy: Pelosi doubles down while Birx forcefully pushes back. Good for her. A Sunday
morning [8/2/2020] political show gave Dr. Birx a chance to respond to Speaker Pelosi's snide remarks about her as she
was interviewed on CNN. She was asked about Pelosi's criticism of her during a private meeting with White House Chief
of Staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchen on Friday night. Birx delivered an unequivocal
response. Pelosi's remarks against Birx were leaked to the press, of course, and it seems that her vitriol toward Birx
came from a New York Times article in July. [...] She predicted that the virus would rise dramatically but then peak and
begin to decline. No one from the NYT bothered to interview Dr. Birx before publishing the hit piece, by the
way. When the coronavirus moved aggressively to southern states, her prediction was proven to have been overly
optimistic.
Don't Lecture
Me. We are indeed fortunate to have these liberals with us to enlighten us and show us the error of our
unsophisticated, primitive thinking. It's always such a pleasure to be lectured to by hypocritical liberals like Nancy
Pelosi with her $24,000 refrigerator and $12/pint ice cream, living behind her security gates and consuming more energy than
[who]-knows-what. Or by Democrats like Al Gore and Barbara Streisand or just by 'regular' well-heeled Democrats who
live in large houses, alone or just two people, in a 9- or 10-room 3000 sq ft+ home with a big screen TV in every room,
central AC and a big, honkin' SUV or luxury car in the three-car garage. This after watching them embark on a lifelong
pursuit of monetary wealth and material possessions/snooty fashion. Capitalism, tax breaks and profits for them, thank
you, but socialism, spread-the-wealth, and high taxes for us detestable conservatives.
President
Trump's Handling of The Virus Was Not a Failure. Do facts matter anymore? Has such intense and unabashed
hatred of President Donald Trump caused Democrat leaders to lose any semblance of sanity and let slip all grasp of reality,
or are they fully aware of their mendacity, to promulgate a false political narrative about the president's handling of the
virus in order to fool the American people into voting Trump out of office in November? On June 30th, House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi proclaimed Trump's handling of the virus to be a complete failure at a press conference: "Safety is first,
and people have families at home that they have to go home to, and they don't want to carry somebody else's virus there...
We are at a place now that we don't have to be. This is a president who doesn't want to wear a mask, who again called
the virus a hoax... science says, wear a mask, test, trace, keep your distance. The president doesn't support any of
that. He has events that are counter to that...this is a matter of life and death, and this administration has failed
miserably."
The Editor says...
Ms. Pelosi says "safety is first." I disagree. Freedom and liberty are first. Safety is way down the
list. If the government circulates money, delivers the mail, defends the border, and enforces the law and the Constitution,
We the People — at least those of us who have been properly educated — can take care of our own safety.
Cruz:
Pelosi Wants to Shovel Cash to Her Friends, Shut Down America. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) $3
trillion coronavirus relief bill, the Heroes Act, is "just shoveling money to her friends and not actually solving the
problem," and it includes "a big tax cut for millionaires and billionaires in blue states, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told
CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday [7/26/2020]. Cruz said he's still not on board with a bill that the GOP plans to
introduce on Monday to provide another round of coronavirus relief.
Pelosi
Falsely Suggests She Never Called Federal Officers 'Stormtroopers', Appears To Mock Barr's Weight. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) falsely suggested during an interview on Tuesday afternoon that she never called federal law
enforcement officials "stormtroopers" and claimed that she said that they "acted like stormtroopers," which is not what she
said. Pelosi appeared on MSNBC's "The Beat" with host Ari Melber where she was asked about the following exchange from
Attorney General William Barr's testimony in front of Congress today [7/28/2020].
'No,
No. No!' Nancy Pelosi has hostile tantrum, yells at reporter. With Congress about to take up a new
pandemic relief package, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is back in the limelight, as she can control the destiny of any such
effort in the lower chamber. And as usual, the frail 80-year-old Democrat is throwing around her considerable weight as
speaker to dictate the outcome, even bullying reporters who dare question the process — then again, Pelosi is
accustomed to a docile press corp. At a press briefing Monday, Pelosi had a full scale meltdown when a reporter tried
to ask her if she was willing to support a short-term extension of unemployment benefits while lawmakers work on a broader
coronavirus relief package.
The
distraught and desperate Democrats are flailing. The left loves the vocabulary of the Third Reich. Nancy
Pelosi, who was horrified whenever Trump called COVID-19 the Wuhan virus, now calls it the "Trump virus." No verbal
assault is too low for leftists. As usual, the Democrats make the mistake of assuming that Trump-supporters are rather
stupid, easily manipulated by their mono-minded media and sound bites. They don't seem to grasp the fact that
much of America is laughing at them for their misplaced arrogance and crying for the residents of those cities being
destroyed by leftist officials and the well organized, well funded anarchist groups that have turned them into war
zones. What's their plan? To discredit the outcome of the election before it takes place. Every Democrat
who appears on a cable or network news program as well as every radical on CNN and MSNBC has received his talking
points: Trump will refuse to leave the W.H. if he loses, he will use the military one way or another, he will commit
voter fraud, etc. These are all things leftists actually do.
Nancy
Pelosi Has a Mental Breakdown on Camera, Starts Yelling 'No' at Reporter Over and Over. Nancy Pelosi is not
well. The more I watch her on camera, the more I'm convinced of that. Whether it's her incessant sucking on her
teeth, the weird slurring of her words she often slips into, or instances like I'm about to share, this is a person who's
mentally not capable of doing her job anymore. Today [7/24/2020], Pelosi lost it when a reporter asked her about not
trying to play social justice warrior with the latest coronavirus relief package. [Video clip]
DHS
Secretary Chad Wolf Blasts Nancy Pelosi After She Compares Federal Agents to Nazis. Homeland Security Secretary
Chad Wolf blasted Democrats and Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday Morning Futures this morning [7/26/2020]. Leftist
terrorists and Marxist thugs have looted businesses and destroyed property in cities across the US for nearly two months
now. Instead of condemning the leftist rioting and violence Speaker Pelosi blamed law enforcement and compared federal
agents to Nazi stormtroopers.
DHS
chief slams Pelosi for calling federal law enforcement 'stormtroopers'. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad
Wolf on Friday slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for what he called "dangerous" comments after the California Democrat
dubbed federal law enforcement protecting federal property in Portland "stormtroopers." "One, it's disgusting, two it's
an assault on every federal or civilian or state and local law enforcement officer who has taken an oath to protect their
communities, to protect, in our case, federal facilities, to do their jobs and I think it's very very dangerous," Wolf said
on Fox News' "America's Newsroom."
Ken
Cuccinelli: Federal Agents Could Sue Pelosi for Libel — 'Speaker of the House Knows That She's Using Nazi
Allusions'. Friday [7/24/2020], during an interview that aired on Fox News Channel's "The Ingraham Angle,"
acting Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli weighed in on the civil unrest plaguing several
American cities. Guest host Lisa Boothe asked Cuccinelli why those cities should not have to deal with the consequences
given that the elected leadership in those cities was allowing it to happen. He also argued House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) should be held accountable for her "libelous" statements regarding the agents of the entities involved in the effort
to protect federal government property.
Democrats
Have Completely Abandoned Civility. On July 20, Nancy Pelosi said that if President Trump refuses to accept the
results of the November election, he will have to be "fumigated" out of the White House. Fumigation is a technique used
against insects, and the idea that human beings are insects has a long history in totalitarian discourse. Hitler
described Jews as "vermin" and "parasites," a form of dehumanization that is always just one step away from physical
violence. Speaker Pelosi should apologize immediately, and profusely, for her use of this inappropriate rhetoric.
The Editor says...
The Chinese virus is no longer affecting any significant number of Americans. Ms. Pelosi likes to harp about the number of people
who test positive for the Chinese virus, but most of those people have no symptoms, so her one-dimensional statistics are meaningless.
How rude! Imagine if Trump had said that about Obama. Pelosi
Says Trump May Have to be "Fumigated" Out of the White House. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Sunday said
President Trump may have to be "fumigated" out of the White House. The Democrat-media complex exploded this weekend
after President Trump refused to commit to the election results if he loses in November.
Pelosi
Says She 'Yearns' for Other Republican Presidents. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is so fed up with President Trump
that she said she actually "yearns" for other Republican presidents. "I yearn for other Republican presidents," she
said at her press conference on Thursday. "While we may disagree on many points, at least we had a shared commitment to
the governance of our country."
The Editor says...
In other words, Nancy Pelosi would get along quite well with a deep state uni-party "reach across the aisle" centrist RINO in the White House.
Why
Does Nancy Care about Portland? The question is, do Democratic leaders believe that the riots help them win in
November? Or are they afraid of losing control of the party if they don't go along with the crazies? I've decided
that it's the latter. The Democratic party is being taken over by the woke left and the old generation of leaders is
desperately trying to stay in control for one last cycle. Probably they will fail and be thrown out after the 2020
election, especially if Trump wins. Remember back in 2018 when Genius Pelosi got a whole class of moderate Democrats
elected to the House? Wasn't she smart? All those suburban women electing moderates to Congress, and Nancy got to
be Speaker again. Only, it is now clear, Nancy Pelosi isn't really in charge. She is running desperately after
the woke mob trying not to lose control of the Democratic caucus completely.
Replacing Pelosi with someone even worse: 'Pelosi
Must Go': Speaker Blasted From The Left Over 'Corporate Interests'. Even Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) is not safe from the "cancelation" mobs, it turns out, as she discovered this weekend when she became the target of a
progressive effort to oust her from her long-held seat in the House of Representatives. Pelosi is the target of an
attack from the left and will face Shahid Buttar in the general election in November. Buttar is, like many left-leaning
insurgent candidates, a Democratic socialist with, as Townhall notes, a resume of progressive bona fides, including
several trips to Burning Man, and plenty of "socially conscious music" and poetry available for free on SoundCloud. He
is also an immigrant and a Muslim and wears his hair in a "man-bun."
She's wasting everyone's time, as usual. After
Stone Commutation, Pelosi Planning Bill To Limit Presidential Pardons. After President Donald Trump commuted
the sentence of former adviser Roger Stone, Democrats went apoplectic. On Saturday [7/11/2020], House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) said she would support a bill that would limit a president's pardoning abilities. Stone had been
sentenced to three years in prison for witness tampering and lying to Congress. He was also arrested in an infamous
early morning bust with multiple armed police raiding the 67-year-old's home as CNN filmed. After commuting Stone's
sentence, the White House released a statement calling the former adviser "a victim of the Russia Hoax."
Obama
Granted Clemency to Terrorists and Traitors, But Democrats Are Angry About Roger Stone. Soon after it was
announced that President Trump had commuted the prison sentence of Roger Stone, the outrage mob mobilized. Nancy Pelosi
went on CNN to suggest that a law should be passed limiting the president's clemency powers. "There ought to be a law,
and I'm recommending we pass a law that presidents cannot issue a pardon if the crime that the person is in jail for is one
that is caused by protecting the president, which this was. It's appalling," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper. [...] But,
these same people who pounced on Trump's acts of clemency yawned and looked the other when Barack Obama commuted the sentence
of terrorists and traitors.
Pelosi
Wants to Ignore the Constitution and Control Who President Can Pardon. The left is melting down over President
Donald Trump commuting the sentence of Roger Stone. But the same people who suggest that that's somehow not in
accordance with law and order are the same people who helped perpetrate and spread the Russia collusion hoax for three years,
that went after people like Stone for "collusion" that didn't exist. They're the same people who have no problem with
the DNC and the Clinton team acquiring Russian disinformation through Christopher Steele to undermine Trump. A British
court just dropped more evidence of that. Did any of the media besides Catherine Herridge cover it? Not that I
can see. Are any of the Democrats called to account or even asked about it? Nope. It's completely within
the power of the president to pardon or commute the sentence of any federal prisoner. It's part of his basic
constitutional power under Article II, Section 2.
Nancy
Pelosi: 'A Trillion for What, Dear?". House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said in her press briefing on
Thursday that "a trillion dollars" is "an interesting starting point" to talk about another spending bill, but indicated that
she wants more than that. "What doesn't measure up is: 'Oh, it can only be a trillion dollars,'" Pelosi said.
"No, we need a trillion dollars for state and local," she said. "We need another trillion dollars, another trillion
dollars for Unemployment Insurance and direct payments. Something like that, but probably not as much for the testing,
tracing, treatment, etcetera. "So, a trillion dollars is: Okay, that is an interesting starting point, but it
doesn't come anywhere near," she said.
Pelosi
on Christopher Columbus Statue Torn Down by Mob: 'People Will Do What They Do'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) responded to the Christopher Columbus statue that was torn down by a mob on the Fourth of July by saying Thursday,
"People will do what they do." In a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday [7/9/2020], a reporter asked Pelosi about the
removal of the statue, saying, "Shouldn't that be done by a commission or the city council, not a mob in the middle of the
night throwing it into the harbor?" Pelosi shrugged her shoulders and said, "People will do what they do. I do think
that from a safety standpoint it would be a good idea to have it taken down if the community doesn't want it."
Pelosi
on Columbus monument removal: 'Well, I don't even have my grandmother's earrings'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
gave a bizarre and convoluted answer to a question regarding her feelings over the removal of statues and monuments to
historical American figures, saying she doesn't "even have my grandmother's earrings." "In Baltimore, in Little Italy,
the statue of Christopher Columbus was removed or taken down. And I wonder if you have anything to share about that?" a
reporter asked. "Well, I don't even have my grandmother's earrings," Pelosi, a California Democrat, said in response
during a press conference.
Maryland
Governor Blasts Pelosi's Indifference to Baltimore Vandalism. Maryland governor Larry Hogan (R.) on Thursday
said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has "lost touch" with her childhood city of Baltimore after she expressed
indifference about the toppling of a statue of Christopher Columbus. "It's disappointing that Speaker Pelosi has lost
touch with the Baltimore community that her family served," Hogan wrote on Twitter. "While efforts towards peaceful
change are welcome, there is no place in Maryland for lawlessness, vandalism, and destruction of public property."
Nancy
Pelosi: 'Our Caucus... is More Than 60 Percent Women, People of Color and LGBTQ'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D.-Calif.) on Monday [7/6/2020] joined with Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D.-N.Y.) and Caucus Procedures Chair
Grace Meng (D.-N.Y.) in issuing a statement about the Democratic Caucus' new "Diversity Rule." "House Democrats take
great pride in the beautiful diversity of our Caucus, which is more than 60 percent women, people of color and LGBTQ," said
Pelosi, Jeffries and Meng said in the statement. "One of our Caucus's top priorities has long been to promote diversity
at every level of Congress, so that these halls better reflect the dynamism and vibrancy of the American people whom we are
privileged to represent," they said.

Apparently Ms. Pelosi thinks white men are not dynamic or vibrant enough to serve as elected representatives. What's the
difference between that and bigotry?
Company
Connected to Pelosi's Husband Scored Coronavirus Bailout. A company connected to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
(D-CA) husband received a loan from the Trump administration's $669 billion Paycheck Protection Program, a Small Business
Administration-led fund designed to provide financial relief to businesses in the wake of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
Nancy
Pelosi's husband among lawmaker linked PPP loan recipients. A firm partially owned by House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's husband was among the lawmaker-linked businesses that got Paycheck Protection Program loans, according to data
released Monday [7/6/2020]. Companies owned by or associated with Reps. Mike Kelly (R-Pa), Kevin Hern (R-Okla.),
Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) and Rick Allen (R-Ga.) also received the coronavirus loans. Businesses linked to Reps.
Roger Williams (R-Texas), Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), Susie Lee (D-Nev.) and Debbie Mucarsel Powell (D-Fla.) previously reported
they got loans. Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said that her husband Paul Pelosi is "a minor, passive investor in this
company. He was not involved in or even aware of this PPP loan."
Petition
to 'Impeach Nancy Pelosi for Treason' Nears 400,000 Signatures. A White House petition to "impeach Nancy Pelosi
for crimes of treason" has received a monstrous 400,000 signatures after going viral. The "We the People" petition,
hosted on the official White House website, was started last year by Marjorie Taylor Greene, a patriotic citizen from
Georgia. Taylor's campaign accuses the Democratic House speaker of committing treason and calls for her
impeachment. The petition appears to have struck a chord with many Americans who have been left frustrated by the
Democratic Party's ongoing attempts to undermine and disrupt President Donald Trump's presidency.
Pelosi
Blames GOP for Russian Annexation of Crimea During Obama Admin. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.)
on Wednesday blamed Russia's annexation of Crimea on Republicans, though the invasion took place on President Barack Obama's
watch. Pelosi slammed President Donald Trump and Republicans for their alleged inability to face Russian
aggression — and tied them to President Barack Obama's appeasement of Moscow. "You just described, not only
for the president, but the Republicans in Congress, dereliction of duty," Pelosi told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.
Nancy
Pelosi Says Every American Should Be Forced to "Wear The Mask". Nancy Pelosi says today that every American
should be forced to wear face masks. However, proving that her position is purely a political division strategy, notice
how she is not asked about passing a law that demands it then. The reasoning is simple. First, Pelosi knows a law
forcing Americans to wear a mask would never pass; and even if it did it would be an unconstitutional, and unenforceable
demand. Second, Pelosi would never attempt such a bill because it would put Democrats in a minority position; Americans
do not support such nonsense. Third there is no factual evidence showing face masks prevent COVID-19 spread; even the
boxes of masks specifically state: "will not provide any protection against COVID-19." Instead, by playing the politics of
COVID Pelosi presents the nonsensical face mask issue as a political virtue-signal. [Video clip]
ABC
Clinton Lackey Refuses to Call-Out Pelosi's Crazy Conspiracy Theories. If President Trump had said the things
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been saying over the past week without evidence, the liberal media would be questioning his
sanity and fitness for office. But since she currently leads their party, she's above reproach. Sunday's
[6/28/2020] This Week was no exception as ABC chief anchor and resident Clinton lackey, George Stephanopoulos refused
two critically press the Speaker on her claim that the Republican Party had killed George Floyd, and that the President was a
Russian agent.
Why
does Nancy Pelosi want to name her police reform bill after a late black comedian? Speaker Nancy Pelosi
announced on Friday that the police reform legislation that passed in the House almost entirely along party lines the day
before would be named for comedian George Kirby. [...] OK, the joke here — which is on Pelosi — is that
the person she is actually referring to is George Floyd, a man whose name has been plastered all over the news for the last
month. How perfectly rich that in presenting a bill meant to preserve his memory, she's already forgotten his
name. She also forgets the name of the Congressional Black Caucus, pausing uncomfortably long to wait for the cobwebs
to clear.
Pelosi
Spreads Dangerous Misinformation, Claims President Trump Urging People to "Inject Lysol and Drink Bleach".
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday spread dangerous misinformation and claimed President Trump is urging people to
"inject Lysol and drink bleach." President Trump in April during a presser was referring to discussions of testing
ultraviolet light on patients and possibly using the light inside the body. [...] So Pelosi once again twisted President
Trump's words and took him out of context. "Trump and Republicans still don't have a plan — unless you count
trying to destroy our health care in the courts while urging us to inject Lysol and drink bleach." Pelosi's team tweeted on
Wednesday in response to the Trump Administration's efforts in the courts to dismantle Obamacare.
Erasing
the Past Leaves only the Present. This past week, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ordered that the official
portraits of four of her predecessors be removed from the Capitol walls. This grandiose display of virtue signaling
occurred, she said, "because we must lead by example." Example of what? [...] Speaker Pelosi really should think through
why she wants to expunge the hallowed halls of "violent bigotry and grotesque racism". The history of the Democratic
Party is a chronicle of violent bigotry and grotesque racism. The Republican Party was founded in the 1850s primarily
in opposition to the pro-slavery policies of the Democratic Party. The Confederacy, at which Madame Speaker rails so
roundly, was the Democratic Party. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected as the first Republican President with a
Republican Congress. The slave holding Democrats were so incensed that abolitionist Republicans were in control that,
in a monumental act of sedition, on April 12, 1861, they attacked Fort Sumter. They seceded from the Union to form the
Confederate States of America. Does Pelosi propose to remove the picture and statue of every Democrat in the country as
secessionist racists?
Pelosi Secretes Her
Party's Pro-Slavery Past. Late Thursday [6/18/2020], Nancy Pelosi had four of her predecessors removed from a
Portrait Collection that adorns the Speaker's Lobby in Congress. These Democratic Speakers were ostensibly banished
from the halls of Congress pursuant to their Confederate ties. Madam Speaker insisted in a news conference that she was
unaware of the portraits or their unsavory provenance until recently, despite their conspicuous location just outside the
House chamber where she has worked for the last 33 years. Having finally learned of the offensive paintings, Pelosi
ordered them taken down.
Pelosi's gamble.
Why in the world would House Speaker Nancy Pelosi put together a $3 trillion bill that has no chance in high heaven of being
enacted? And force Democrats to vote for it anyway? Her strategy in this episode didn't quite fit her image in
the media as a brilliant political boss. Instead, her pursuit of a legislative package to nowhere was what Republicans
saw as an effort to keep her squabbling caucus united.
Defund
the police? How many sharks can the Democrats jump? [Scroll down] Sure enough, as 2019 progressed,
it became clear that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was taking orders on key issues instead of giving them, appearances
notwithstanding. That's why we were treated to the impeachment farce, which had followed immediately upon the collapse
of the Mueller farce. Looking now at the defund-the-police mania, one has to wonder: Has their unbridled hatred
and fear of the Orange Man brought them to this peak of over-reach, where they lose all touch with the mainstream of American
voters and pitch themselves into a decline toward eventual oblivion? Have they jumped the shark?
Pelosi
presenting special US flag to Floyd family sparks outrage; 'an insult to our service members'. Scores of
Americans were outraged after seeing a picture of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) presenting an American flag to the
family of George Floyd as though he had been killed fighting for the country. The photo, which was seen posted on
various social media sites, was confirmed as genuine by BizPac Review after locating it as part of a collection involving the
family of Floyd on Pelosi's official Twitter feed. [...] Scores of people reacted negatively to the photo after seeing it

rebuke to all those people who don't vote her way and are totally racist, since she is loudly and clearly against racism.

Why
Wasn't Pelosi Offended Over Confederate Statues During Last 30 years? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has
been in Congress for more than 30 years and yet, during this time, she apparently never called for the removal of Confederate
statues from the U.S. Capitol. But she did on Wednesday, which prompted conservative talk radio host Mark Levin to ask why
she didn't do it when Harry Reid (D-Nev.) or former KKK member Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) ran the Senate. On Wednesday,
June 10, Pelosi sent a letter to the Joint Committee on the Library, which oversees the statues in the Capitol. There
are 11 statues of Confederate figures in the Capitol's Statuary Hall.
Nancy
Pelosi Silent on Own Father Who Oversaw Dedication of Confederate Statue. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA),
who on Wednesday demanded the removal of Confederate statues occupying the U.S. Capitol, has remained silent on her father's
role in overseeing the dedication of the Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee Monument while serving as Baltimore's mayor in
1948. Pelosi this week formally requested the removal of Confederate statues occupying the U.S. Capitol, dismissing
them as "monuments to men who advocated cruelty and barbarism to achieve such a plainly racist end." Her demand comes as
angry protesters across the nation take matters into their own hands, vandalizing — and in some cases,
beheading — statues and monuments memorializing the Civil War era and beyond.
Pelosi: Confederate symbols 'have
to go' from Capitol, bases. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday [6/11/2020] that it's time to remove symbols
honoring Confederate figures from the U.S. Capitol building and military bases as the pandemic and racial unrest force a national
reckoning with racial discrimination. "These names have to go from these bases and these statues have to go from the Capitol,"
Pelosi said at her weekly news conference.

How low will they grovel to get power? They will kneel on the floor. They actually will kneel on the floor,
groveling for power. Of course, as Nancy Pelosi just found, she kneeled so long that she could not even get back
up. You think she was kneeling to Jesus? Nancy Pelosi is America's leading Catholic proponent of
abortion — though Joe Biden, Andrew Cuomo, and a boatload of other Democrat Catholics would take great offense at
Nancy Pelosi getting all the credit for funding the killing of fetuses, especially in the Black community. That Pelosi
is kneeling to Jesus? And who, pray tell, was Schumer kneeling to? He claims to be Jewish, so he is
not kneeling to Jesus. But wait! It is a core tenet of Judaism that kneeling is forbidden except on Yom Kippur
during the recitation of the Kohen service that occurred at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem during Talmudic times.
Otherwise, it is so fundamentally against Judaism to kneel that every Jewish child learns the story associated with Talmud
Tractate Gittin 57b of "The Woman and Her Seven Sons."
Nancy
Pelosi Can't Get Up by Herself After Kneeling for Photo Op. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a number of her
congressional colleagues gathered to kneel on Monday for the time they say a police officer had his knee on the neck of George
Floyd, but the photo op did not quite go as planned. After the 8 minutes and 46 seconds the incident lasted, the
members of Congress — including 79-year-old James Clyburn — rose. But Pelosi nearly toppled over,
quickly motioning for an aide to help her to her feet. "It's better not to have on high heels," Pelosi said with a
laugh as her mask dangled under her chin.
Pelosi

and I can't get up.

Suffers 10-Second Mental Lapse On-Camera During Press Conference. House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) appeared to experience a ten-second mental lapse Thursday during an on-camera press conference. Pelosi was
reading from a letter she had sent to President Donald Trump earlier in the day expressing concerns about "the increased
militarization" of law enforcement efforts in the Nation's Capital amid the violent protests and riots ravaging the
city. Pelosi reads from the letter, looks away from it for a moment — then loses her train of thought and
stutters, unable to collect her thoughts, until she refocuses on the letter: [Video clip]

Church which was set on fire by protesters Sunday night. Trump held up a Bible in front of the church. In
an effort to one-up Trump, petty Pelosi held up a Bible in response to Trump's bold move.

pretends to be smarter than Trump, now she knows more than Obama about race relations. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday blamed President Donald Trump for the escalating riots, looting, and mayhem spreading around the
country in the wake of Minneapolis resident George Floyd's death, though the Justice Department believes many incidents are
the result of organized anarchists. In an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, Pelosi lamented the manner in
which Floyd died after being pinned to the street by fired police officer Derek Chauvin for several minutes. But then
she also complained about several "unfortunate statements" made as initial peaceful demonstrations lapsed into widespread
looting and violence.

California Democrat told ABC'S "This Week." Prodded by the network, she said Mr. Trump does have a responsibility,

Numerous
Former Pelosi Aides [are] Lobbying For Companies Seeking Benefits Related To Coronavirus, Report Says. Numerous
former aides to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have reportedly transitioned to working as lobbyists for companies which have
sought benefits from legislation related to the coronavirus, making a bundle of money for their firms in the process. The
Washington Free Beacon examined federal disclosure records and found at least seven of those aides, including Pelosi's former
chief of staff, Nadeam Elshami, senior policy adviser Anne MacMillan, and special assistant Shanti Stanton, have represented
over 50 different entities in 2020. The Beacon added, "Their firms received over $2 million from these clients during
this time. These fees were for lobbying on multiple issues in addition to coronavirus legislation and policies."
Report:
House Republicans To File Lawsuit Against Nancy Pelosi For Proxy Voting Plan. Multiple news outlets are
reporting that House Republicans plan to file a lawsuit in federal court against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) over a recent
pandemic-related rule change that allows a single member of Congress to serve as a proxy vote for up to 10 other members of
Congress. According to The Wall Street Journal, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will lead the lawsuit and
be joined by nearly two dozen other legislators, including GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Minority Whip Steve
Scalise (R-LA).
Pelosi:
"Vote-by-Mail is More Democratic" Than Voting in Person with Photo ID. It is obvious the Democrats are using
the Coronavirus as an excuse to push for mail-in ballots rather than in-person voting in an effort to steal the 2020
election. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has repeatedly tried to sneak in federal ballot harvesting laws into
several of the Coronavirus stimulus bills. Pelosi is now trying to shove a $3.6 billion 'vote-by-mail' proposal into
the latest Coronavirus stimulus bill. [...] Pelosi said that voting by mail, with no chain of custody, is "more democratic"
than voting in person with photo ID.
Pelosi's
Leninist Stimulus Bill. As soon as the Bolsheviks took over Russia in October 1917, Vladimir Lenin began
churning out rubles. In fact, he spent half the state's revenue on just the printing of new currency.
Within a year, the ruble was worth 100,000,000 times less than it had been before the communists took over.
Existing rubles, and any investment denominated in rubles, were worthless. Lenin's inflationary program was not a
response to the need for an increased money supply. It was a deliberate strategy designed to eliminate money as a means
of transactions and, with it, to crush capitalism. From that point on, the state would directly control the means of
production and distribution, and the people would, in theory, be dependent on the state for all goods and services.
Democrats
Brazenly Try to Buy Illegal Alien Votes in Latest Pork Legislation. Speaker Pelosi and her merry band of
sycophants, who currently control the House, just passed a 3 Trillion dollar liberal wish list spending package which insures
16 Billion in stimulus checks to Illegal Aliens. The HEROES Act, which has no pathway to becoming law, includes a
provision that would retroactively send payments to any illegal person who filed a Federal Income tax return for 2018 or 2019
with a tax ID number. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated the bill has no chance of passage in the Senate and
President Trump has publicly declared if it did, he would veto it. Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy lays out the
absurdity of Pelosi's bill.
The Editor says...
The very fact that the Democrats are trying to buy the votes of those who can't legally vote at all says a lot about
the state of our election system.
The
left's two big albatrosses — Biden and Pelosi. One has to wonder, do those on the left, including
the media, actually think that Joe Biden is a viable candidate for president? Do they not realize that Nancy Pelosi is
as senile as Joe? Like Joe, she often slurs her words, suffers brain freezes mid-sentence and spews gibberish. [...]
Pelosi is a life-long power-mad lunatic. She has allowed her own district to dissolve into a homeless camp with all the
attendant problems — discarded needles, feces on the streets and sidewalks, and an ever-escalating crime
wave. Smash and grab car burglaries occur by the minute in San Feancisco and there are no consequences for the
perpetrators if caught. Like Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Pelosi and her husband are millionaires several times over;
they've become rich because both have been in Congress for so many years. They all get rich on insider information.

Calls Trump 'Morbidly Obese' On CNN. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi called President Donald Trump "morbidly
obese" Monday night after he announced that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus preventative treatment for
more than a week. In an appearance on CNN, Pelosi was asked about Trump's usage of hydroxychloroquine, to which she
responded by saying "He's our president and I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the
scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group — morbidly obese, they say" Pelosi
said to CNN's Anderson Cooper.
The
Perils of Pelosi. When Republicans failed to deliver for the American people and lost their majority in the
United States House of Representatives in 2018, a true poison was unleashed on the nation. For a second time, Nancy
Pelosi became U.S. Speaker of the House and in her latest stint in this position she has been incredibly damaging to this
country. For months, she pursued a divisive and unnecessary impeachment of President Donald Trump. Instead of
working to fight the coronavirus in January and February, congressional Democrats were only focused on impeaching and
convicting President Trump. The Ukraine hoax which led to the flimsy impeachment charges was as ridiculous as the
Russia hoax, but it did not matter to Democrats inflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
New
House vote-by-proxy measure sets off screaming alarms as Pelosi gobbles power. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
essentially told members of Congress they don't need to show up for work anymore and she will take care of voting for them.
The California Democrat led members of the House to pass legislation on Friday [5/15/2020] that allows lawmakers to stay home
and vote by proxy during the coronavirus pandemic. The unprecedented bill coincided with the approval of a massive $3 trillion
coronavirus stimulus package that has objecting Republicans reeling.
Nancy
Pelosi is Once Again Trying to Force Americans to Fund Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz. For the second time in
as many weeks, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is attempting to exploit the coronavirus crisis to push her abortion agenda on the
American people. During the development of the first stimulus bill to tackle the coronavirus situation, White House
officials caught Pelosi trying to force Americans to fund abortions because she put funding in the bill under a section of
HHS where the provisions of the Hyde Amendment would not apply. Now, Pelosi is trying to include funding for the
Planned Parenthood abortion company in the bill to provide economic relief for small businesses, even though Planned
Parenthood is a profitable abortion corporation that technically is a nonprofit. As The Hill reports, Pelosi wanted to
include Planned Parenthood in the mix with small businesses so it could get taxpayer dollars over the objections of pro-life Americans.
New
House rule allowing proxy votes is outrageous — Increases Pelosi's power. Americans should be
outraged and frightened by an unprecedented rule change backed by Democrats and approved by the House on a 217-189 vote
Friday night allowing for proxy voting and remote committee meetings to guard against the spread of the coronavirus.
While the duration of the rule change — which drew strong objections from Republicans — was labeled as
"temporary" for 45 days, in government there is rarely a "temporary" duration to any new centralization of power. Under
this new House rule, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has more control over the House than any previous speaker in American history.
Madam
Speaker, proxy voting is not remote voting. Yesterday [5/15/2020], Ed Morrissey provided a good takedown of the
preposterous $3 trillion dollar "stimulus" bill passed by Nancy Pelosi and most of her Democratic colleagues in the
House. The number of things wrong with this budget-busting boondoggle is too lengthy to fully explore here, but in the
same session, they snuck in a rule change that Ed mentioned briefly but deserves a bit more attention. That was the
decision to temporarily (we hope) allow proxy votes to be cast on the House floor. As Ed correctly noted, it's a rather
pointless maneuver since it would only initially last for 45 days. If this dead-on-arrival package was actually passed,
it includes a provision for sixty days of vacation for Congress so there wouldn't be any voting going on anyway. But the proxy
vote rule also allows for the measure to be renewed every 45 days if the members think they can get away with it.
Nancy
Pelosi's $3 trillion coronavirus 'relief' bill is purely a political stunt. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is happy
to play rank politics with the federal coronavirus response. Exhibit A is the absurd $3 trillion "relief" bill she's
set for floor vote on Friday [5/15/2020]. It's the first emergency bill written by one party with zero input from the
other. Some Dems say it's just an "opening bid," but why waste time crafting 1,800 pages of legislation full of poison
pills for the opposition? It seems Pelosi thinks virtue-signaling to her base is worth the trouble.
The
Real Reason Why Pelosi Is Finally Putting the House Back to Work. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is
finally bringing the House of Representatives back to work for a vote on Friday. The House went into recess on March 14
after passing the coronavirus stimulus bill, the CARES Act. Representatives briefly returned in late April to pass
extra funding for the Paycheck Protection Act, but then they went into recess again. While the Senate went back to work
last Monday, the House has remained in recess for two months. Both chambers went into recess citing concerns about the
spread of the coronavirus, as the Washington, D.C., area is a COVID-19 hotspot. On Tuesday, Pelosi unveiled her
$3 trillion bill supposedly focused on providing more relief for Americans during the coronavirus crisis. Like her
previous efforts, however, the bill is jam-packed with lefty wish-list items, including vote-by-mail provisions, unemployment
checks that actually pay workers more than they would receive on the job, and a repeal of part of Trump's 2017 tax cuts,
among other things.
Forget
Pelosi's Boondoggle Bill — Take Taxes to Zero Instead. After spending most of the pandemic crisis on
vacation, an ice cream-fortified Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi finally emerged from her magnificent kitchen to propose a
behemoth mess of a spending bill to allegedly save America's faltering economy. Her 1,815-page proposal forms the "War
and Peace" of legislative monstrosities. In fact, the endless big-government wish list contains generous payments for
illegal immigrants, tax credits for wealthy residents of high-tax states, massive grants to fiscally irresponsible states, a
national prohibition on identification for voters, and even federal loans for lobbyists. This $3 trillion disaster
would massively balloon the federal debt only to consolidate administrative state power and deepen dependency on federal programs.
Pelosi
won't tolerate reporter acting like Trump is our president. Americans weary of the rank partisanship
increasingly displayed by Democrats the longer President Donald Trump is in office aren't likely to see a respite anytime
soon, if the behavior of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is any indication. In an interview Friday [5/8/2020] with C-SPAN in
which the California Democrat literally stammered her way through, she became contentious with anchor Steve Scully when he
asked if the president is part of the discussions going on in Congress to pass yet another multi-trillion-dollar coronavirus
relief package. "I... I don't have any idea what the president does," Pelosi responded after a few seconds of appearing
to be confused.
Nancy
Pelosi: Barr Dropped Flynn Charges to 'Cover Up' for Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reacted
angrily to the Department of Justice dropping its criminal case against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn
Thursday [5/7/2020], saying Attorney General William Barr's "politicization of justice knows no bounds."
Pelosi Redefines Hypocrisy and Destroys #MeToo for... Biden?
[Scroll down] In the first place, no matter what she said, she didn't "believe all women" any more than she or anyone
would believe all men. (Neither did Biden, we can hope.) Only an imbecile would — and Pelosi is no
imbecile. She is an unremitting power-driven political operative and a successful one, quite willing to lie at a
moment's notice to achieve her goals. And that's what she did. Saying she believes all women was a totally
expedient lie at the time, not mere hypocrisy, which is too weak. Lie number two is, despite what she says, she doesn't
have any idea whether Joe Biden is guilty or innocent of sexually assaulting Tara Reade, irrespective of how long she has
known him. (Would she have expected that Ted Kennedy would have left a woman drowning in a car?)
Multi-Millionaire
Pelosi Dons $22 Designer Mask (Nice To Still Have A Job). House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is rolling in dough.
Her net worth reportedly tops $120 million (not bad on an annual salary of $194,000). We know all about her $25,000
refrigerator stacked to the brim with $12-a-pint gourmet ice cream. But now she's got a new ostentatious show of her
wealth. The California Democrat has been sporting designer masks when she's at the Capitol (she refuses to call
Democrats back to work, despite the coronavirus, but she's still there from time to time [don't ask how much it costs U.S.
taxpayers to fly her back and forth to her San Francisco mansion]).
Nancy
Pelosi's just wrong to keep the House from meeting. President Trump's task force has been working hard to fight
the coronavirus pandemic and open up America. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives has been silent —
AWOL, you might say. Even as the Senate returns to work this week, the House remains shuttered. And now, feeling
the heat for their prolonged absence, House Democrats are floating plans that would upend centuries of legislative precedent
and concentrate power in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hands. One Democratic idea would allow a representative to ask a
colleague to cast a vote on her behalf, known as a proxy vote. And this proxy vote would count for purposes of a
quorum, the majority needed to proceed with business. If implemented, this brainstorm would create a procedural fiction
in which a representative would be considered "physically" present in the Capitol when she is home with her freezer full of
gourmet ice cream.
Pelosi
continues push to get stimulus cash to illegal immigrants with guaranteed income plan. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi said Friday that any guaranteed monthly income plan that Congress works on should apply to illegal immigrants with tax
ID numbers. The IRS issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to illegal immigrants and other
non-citizens who lack Social Security numbers to allow them to file tax returns. Individuals with ITINs are not
eligible for direct stimulus payments in the $2.2 trillion CARES Act that Congress passed. Earlier this week, Pelosi
suggested including guaranteed minimum income for individuals in the next coronavirus stimulus package. She didn't
specify the set amount of guaranteed income being considered.
Trump
slams Pelosi for rejecting quick testing, refusing to come to work. With Speaker Nancy Pelosi having already
canceled the House's return from break due to COVID-19, President Donald Trump offered speedy coronavirus testing at the
Capitol to entice Democrats to get back to work. When the California Democrat rejected the offer, in a rare joint
statement with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Trump fired back in a tweet, referring to his House adversary
as "Crazy Nancy."
Pelosi's
Congress Should Shelter At Home For The Rest Of The Year. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is as determined as
President Franklin D. Roosevelt to exploit this crisis for political gain, on the well-founded calculation that if Democrats
ask Republicans to unleash a horde of locusts, they'll agree to half the locusts. Maybe even three-quarters!
Despite failing so far to use the pandemic to get race and sex quotas for corporate boards, insane emissions requirements on
airlines, more money for Democrat politicking funneled through unions, student loan bailouts, and bigger tax credits for
solar panels, Democrats have already commandeered it to send pork to the Kennedy Center, bail out the U.S. Postal Service,
get raises for Congress as 26 million Americans filed for unemployment, fund PBS stations, and upcharge for refugee
resettlement. And they're just getting started. Pelosi has started talking about moving beyond blanketing the
nation with deficit-funded checks into a "guaranteed income."
Susan
Sarandon Praises Nancy Pelosi's Democrat Challenger After Speaker Defends Biden. Actress Susan Sarandon praised
a Democratic challenger to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat, arguing that people have the chance to
vote for someone willing to "speak up even when it's not politically expedient." Sarandon made what looked at least like a
tacit endorsement in response to Pelosi's reaction to allegations against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, where she
effectively dismissed the claims made by his former Senate staffer Tara Reade that he sexually assaulted her back in 1993.
Pelosi
Says She is 'Satisfied' With Biden's Response to the Sexual Assault Allegation Against Him. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday told CNN she's "satisfied" with how former Vice President Joe Biden has responded to the
allegation made by a former staffer, who says Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993. "I am satisfied with how he has
responded. I know him. I was proud to endorse him on Monday. Very proud to endorse him. And, so, I am
satisfied with that," said Pelosi. However, Biden himself has not responded personally, nor has he been asked about the
allegation in any of the recent podcasts he has done from the basement of his Delaware home. Biden's campaign has
denied Tara Reade's allegation, but even some media outlets on the left now say it's time for Biden to address it himself.
New
Democrat Coalition to Pelosi: We respectfully request you reopen Congress. Respectfully? Pretty
much, yes, but the subtext of this request from the New Democrat Coalition leadership to Nancy Pelosi clearly questions the
wisdom of her strategy, if not her leadership. With the COVID-19 crisis stretching out more than a month without any
significant oversight in Congress, Pelosi appears to be facing a backbench revolt as House Democrats begin to wonder why
Pelosi keeps them sidelined.
Democrats
ramp up demand for massive bailout of state and local governments. House and Senate Democrats are escalating
calls for an historic federal bailout of state and local governments coping with significant revenue losses due to the coronavirus
outbreak. The price tag for the aid Democrats propose is massive: $500 billion for state governments plus
"a very big figure," for municipalities, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters Tuesday [4/28/2020].
And there's more: Pelosi said lawmakers may seek a $200 billion increase in Medicaid spending.
Pelosi:
A Minimum Guaranteed Income May Now Be 'Worthy of Our Attention'. As Congress weighs another relief package
amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which has many small businesses closed until stay-at-home orders are lifted, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) floated out the possibility of a minimum guaranteed income for workers. Pelosi said on "MSNBC
Live" a minimum guaranteed income is "perhaps" now "worthy" of getting looked at being added into the next funding package.
Nancy Pelosi
endorses Joe Biden for president. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday endorsed former Vice President and
presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden — saying he can help guide the US out of the coronavirus crisis.
"As we face coronavirus, Joe has been a voice of reason and resilience, with a clear path to lead us out of this crisis,"
Pelosi said in a prerecorded video. The California Democrat also cited Biden's experience helping to pass the
Affordable Care Act and implementing the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Pelosi
Suffers Brain Freeze, Stutters, Forgets California Governor's Name. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suffered
a bad brain freeze on Sunday [4/26/2020] during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union." The look on Jake Tapper's
face says it all. 80-year-old Nancy Antoinette stuttered and forgot her own Governor's name on Sunday.
The empress
of ice cream. This isn't just any old fridge or ice cream, but the creme-de-la-creme. The appliances, two
large stainless-steel freezers, are filled to the brim with an extreme prestige brand name called Jeni's, which is marketed
largely over the internet and sells for a minimum of $12 a pint. Pelosi's choice would most likely be the "Emergency
Chocolate Stash Collection," a six-pack of various cocoa concoctions that will set you back $86 a throw. How many of
these would it take to fill up two giant-sized freezers?
Nancy
Pelosi parrots fabricated media narrative to demonize Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has clearly
bought into the "fake news" angle the anti-Trump media regularly employs in their quest to take out President Donald
Trump. Either that or the 80-year-old Democrat is suffering from brain freeze from too much expensive ice cream.
Fresh off a nose-wiping speech on the House floor, where Pelosi was seen on camera contaminating the lectern shared by
representatives, the speaker flat out lied about a comment the president made at Thursday's White House briefing.
Pelosi
Wipes Her Dripping Nose With Her Bare Hand, Then Touches House Floor Podium Used by Other Lawmakers. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday wiped her dripping nose with her bare hand, then took that same hand and wiped it all over
the House floor lectern used by other members of Congress. Pelosi's mask/scarf was also pulled down around her
neck. This is totally against CDC guidelines and 80-year-old Pelosi is definitely in the 'at-risk' category as are
other elderly members of Congress. This was just gross.
How
does Nancy Pelosi get away with blocking desperately needed aid? How does Nancy Pelosi get away with it?
How does the speaker of the House, in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic crisis, delay desperately needed aid to small
businesses and, in the process, escape blame in a highly politicized environment? Pelosi didn't stand in the way of aid
for just an hour or two, or a day or two. She stonewalled for two weeks while small-business people across the country
struggled to stay afloat in a time in which public fear of the coronavirus and government stay-at-home orders reduced their
business incomes to zero.
Biden
campaign spends tens of thousands on ice cream brand Pelosi had packed in freezer. Joe Biden's presidential
campaign spent nearly $11,000 on gourmet ice cream that is also a favorite of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's. The
presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's campaign spent $10,600 on Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams between May 2019 and March
2020. The ice cream was listed as donor gifts, according to Federal Election Committee data. Pelosi has taken a lot of
heat since last week when she joined James Corden on his late-night comedy show and showcased her freezer packed with ice
cream. Among the selection were pints of Jeni's Splendid. "I don't know what I would've done if ice cream were
not invented," she said via video conference from her home.
Speaker
Pelosi, end government-by-secret-caucus. Our Constitution set up three branches of government. And yet,
in this crisis, only two branches are fully operational. In particular, the House of Representatives is no longer
functioning as a legislative body at all but as an executive committee run by just one representative: the Speaker of the
House. There are no open debates, no televised committee hearings, no minority rights. "The People's House" is
not open to the people.
Poison
Pelosi Blames Mitch McConnell for Blocking Small Business Funding, After She Cheered Schumer for Blocking Small Business
Funding. Last Thursday the PPP Loan program ran out of money. The $349 billion allotted to the program to
save small businesses had already been distributed. At least 20,000 business applications went unprocessed on Thursday
and Friday. Last Tuesday, eight days ago on April 14th, Speaker Pelosi went on late night television and congratulated
Senate Democrats for blocking the crucial funding to small business owners in America. Pelosi made the comments on MSNBC.
Trump
campaign goes for the jugular with new ad: 'Let them eat ice cream — Nancy Antoinette'. No doubt,
NeverTrumps are clutching their pearls over the visceral new campaign ad released under President Trump's imprimatur.
It certainly isn't gentlemanly the way George W. Bush was; it's primal in its attack on Nancy Pelosi and its appeal to class
resentments. It's not the sort of lose-with-dignity approach favored the last generation of the GOP establishment.
But in an era of phony impeachment efforts and special counsel investigations and "blood on his hands" accusations, it is
giving back to the Democrats exactly what they have been hurling Trump's way.
Democrat
Law Professor Calls Out Pelosi For Contradictory Statements. Jonathan Turley, a self-described Democrat who is
a Constitutional Law Professor at George Washington University, called out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday over multiple
contradictory statements that Pelosi gave during an interview on "Fox News Sunday." "Nancy Pelosi just said to Chris Wallace
on Fox that she does not understand people publicly protesting civil liberties on lock down orders," Turley tweeted.
"However, this followed her defense of her calling people to join her in Chinatown in late February as a protest against
discrimination."
Steve
Scalise: 'Sickening' to Watch Pelosi Use Small Business Aid as Leverage. House Republican Whip Steve Scalise
(R-LA) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Monday that it is "sickening" to watch House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) use small business aid as leverage to include more leftist provisions in future coronavirus legislation. Scalise
has collected stories from businesses across his district and the country that can no longer obtain a Paycheck Protection
Program (PPP) loan due to Pelosi's objection to a simple renewal of the program.
If
You Protest Against Leftist Tyranny, You're Racist. [Scroll down] Americans are legitimately complaining
that the draconian cure is shaping up to be worse than the disease. Speaker of the House and nepotism-enthusiast Nancy
Pelosi decried the protesters, of course: "What they're doing is really unfortunate," she condescended. "What we
have to do is, is, is shelter in place." That's easy for her to say. While Pelosi (who as of last year has a net worth
of over $120 million) "shelters in place" in her San Francisco mansion that features a $24,000 refrigerator stocked with
gourmet ice cream, her constituents are losing their livelihoods and life savings. Her nephew-by-marriage
Gov. Gavin Newsom, California's answer to Justin Trudeau, said he will not be swayed by public protests in deciding when
he will reopen the state: [...]
Pelosi's
Easter Revelation: You Know, Trump Sure Has Made a Lot of Mistakes. In an interview on Fox News Sunday,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Planned Parenthood) made an interesting claim. Host Chris Wallace recounted the back and
forth war of words between Pelosi and President Trump and asked the speaker if their verbal warfare is helpful during the
coronavirus pandemic. Pelosi said yes, she had some sort of revelation allowing her to bash the president. On
Easter Sunday. [...] Pelosi has spent Trump's entire presidency bashing and undermining him at every turn, culminating in the
Democrats' effort to impeach him over a partisan witch hunt. That purely political stunt was expressly designed to
hobble Trump's ability to govern heading into the election. And it neatly overlapped the rise of the coronavirus
pandemic — forcing the president and most of his senior advisers to deal with being just the third American
president ever to face impeachment, while the Wuhan virus started ravaging the world.
The
left's new hysterical narrative? Testing! Testing! Testing!. Nancy Pelosi was positively
ghoulish on Fox News Sunday [4/19/2020]. She denied exacerbating the virus in San Francisco, when late in
February she was encouraging her constituents to join in her city's Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations. The woman is
the Wicked Witch of the West. With her fancy kitchen appliances and her freezer full of $13-a-pint ice cream, she is
enjoying her vacation. She appears to be relishing the destruction of the economy that Trump had so successfully
energized. She is refusing to go back to D.C. and vote on an additional bill to save small businesses. She does
not [care] about the 22 million people suddenly unemployed; she thinks this crisis can only benefit her party and her
power. She is as senile as Biden if she thinks this ploy will work. She is fast becoming the Joker of American
politics.
Sen.
Lindsey Graham eviscerates Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying 'she hates Trump to the point of hurting our own
nation'. Senator Lindsey Graham ripped into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her criticism of Donald Trump's
decision to halt funding to the World Health Organization, claiming her contempt for the president is harming the country.
'Her issue is she hates Trump to the point of hurting our own nation,' the South Carolina senator said on Fox News' Justice
with Judge Jeanine on Saturday night. 'She is condemning President Trump for cutting funds off of the WHO because
they've been in China's pocket, as she one time mentioned the fact the virus came out of China, that the Chinese Communist
Party lied to the American people and the world at large,' he added.
Turley
fires back at Pelosi for criticizing people 'protesting civil liberties' after defending Chinatown appearance.
Constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley found fault with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after she criticized protesters of
local social distancing guidelines in the same interview she advocated for an end to discrimination. "Nancy Pelosi just
said to Chris Wallace on Fox that she does not understand people publicly protesting civil liberties on lock down orders,"
Turley tweeted Sunday. "However, this followed her defense of her calling people to join her in Chinatown in late
February as a protest against discrimination ..." On Sunday [4/19/2020], Pelosi defended why she went out to promote San
Francisco's Chinatown in late February after news of the coronavirus began making headlines. "What we were trying to do
is end the discrimination, the stigma that was going out against the Asian American community," Pelosi said.

House Democrats Call to Replenish Small Business Relief Fund Despite Pelosi's Objections. On Thursday morning
[4/16/2020], the Small Business Administration's (SBA) small business relief fund, otherwise known as the Paycheck Protection
Program (PPP), officially ran out of money. The PPP's loss of funding sparked outrage from congressional GOP leaders
such as House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Sen. Kyrsten
Sinema (D-AZ) also called to replenish the fund "ASAP." As Speaker Pelosi continues to object to a clean refunding of
the small business relief fund, House Democrats broke with the Democrat leader to call for immediate refunding of the PPP.
Media
Would Destroy Republicans for What Nancy Pelosi Is Doing to Block Funding for PPP. On Thursday [4/16/2020], the
$350 billion Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) ran out of money, having disbursed all of its funds to small businesses across
the country. Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sat in her mansion in San Francisco, refusing to call
the House back into session to replenish the fund — and enjoying gourmet ice cream from her $24,000 freezer.
Not only that: Pelosi was proud of her self-indulgence, tweeting her appearance this week on CBS' Late, Late Show.
How
Much Do The Pelosi's Have Invested In China? Pelosi may present herself as the defender of the little
guy. She is anything but. In 2018 her net worth was roughly $160 million. She is married to Paul Pelosi who
runs a top tier investment and real estate firm in San Francisco. Over the course of decades, as Nancy has risen
through the ranks of the Democratic Party, the Pelosi's have gotten fabulously wealthy. There have been any number of
allegations over the decades that Nancy and her husband have profited in ways that are clearly illegal from the access a
senior politician enjoys. Over a span of years, Nancy Pelosi used her influence to steer more than $1 billion to the
expansion of a light rail line into a San Francisco neighborhood where her husband owned commercial property and in which
business associates of his then purchased additional properties. The value of real estate in the area exploded with the
arrival of light rail, and the Pelosi's made a killing. There has also been an almost unending number of allegations
that Paul Pelosi has benefited from what is known as insider trading. That is, he has made sometimes enormous purchases
of stocks based on information allegedly provided to him by Nancy, who was privy to sensitive, non-public information by way
of her position.
'You
should be ashamed': Critics unleash on Pelosi for showing off freezer loaded with ice cream. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi took some heat for showing off her freezer packed with ice cream during the coronavirus crisis. The
California Democrat joined comedian James Corden on his late-night show Monday and showed off how much ice cream is in her
freezer in addition to wondering how Trump's base could still support him after his response to the pandemic. "I don't
know what I would've done if ice cream were not invented," she said via video conference from her home.
As
Emergency Funds For Small Businesses Run Out, San Fran Nan Shows Off Freezer Full of Chocolate Ice Cream.
[Scroll down] As the money was running out, Pelosi proudly shared a video showcasing her very expensive freezer full of
ice cream and a fancy basket full of chocolate. "Other people in our family go for some other flavors, but chocolate,
and then we have some other chocolate here," Pelosi said, showing off the multiple pints of ice-cream in her freezer.
Pelosi told the "Late, Late Show" host James Corden that while in quarantine, she was eating as much candy and chocolate as
possible. "I enjoy it," she explained. "I like it better than anything else." She said she had her fridge
recently stocked for Easter. "I don't know what I would have done if ice-cream hadn't been invented," she gushed.
As
Small Business Relief Fund Runs Dry, San Fran Nan Shows Off Her Sub-Zero Fridge. [Scroll down] In the
situation described above, which happens to be the current reality on the ground today, what do you do? Well, if you
are Democrat Speaker of the House San Fran Nan Pelosi, you make a video with hosted by a fabulously wealthy cretin from
Hollywood, showing off your million-dollar kitchen in your $30 million San Francisco home, featuring your $15,000 Sub-Zero
refrigerator that is filled with designer ice cream, among other fabulously expensive delicacies.
Nancy
Pelosi Extends House Vacation for 3 More Weeks. Today, San Francisco's on lockdown, Chinatown's a ghost town,
and the San Fran Nan is supposedly locked in her Pacific Heights manse for the duration. But the Speaker was adamant to
Corben in saying we must act fast and "work 24-7 and [have] all hands on deck ... working for a cure, vaccine and the rest."
Quickly now! Someone should do something! This was just hours after Pelosi gave House members another 3
weeks off "absent an emergency." That's a quote. Guess that whole National Emergency/global pandemic thing doesn't
qualify as "an emergency." Perhaps Pelosi could use that extra time waiting for "an emergency" to eat all that ice cream in
her freezer.
Pelosi
Shows Off Her Kitchen and Gourmet Ice Cream Collection as Americans Stand in Line at Food Banks. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) showed off her expensive kitchen appliances and massive gourmet ice cream collection during an appearance
on a late night show as Americans stand in line at food banks. Pelosi slammed President Trump over his Coronavirus
response on Monday's episode of "The Late Show" with James Corden before showing off her 15 flavor ice cream
collection. Pelosi, who is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, held Americans hostage by delaying the first
Coronavirus stimulus package.
Nancy
Pelosi Struggles Through Coronapocalypse With Her Fancy Designer Ice Cream. Well, nothing says "Woman of the
People" quite like posing in front of two of your enormous gleaming stainless-steel luxury refrigerators with a sweater tied
around your neck. What color is that, is that peach? No, more of a tangerine. Pumpkin, perhaps. Very
comforting, in any case. Whoever dresses Pelosi is earning his and/or her pay. [...] Down with ICE, up with ice
cream! This is something every single American can appreciate, and it's not at all tone-deaf. Those containers of
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams you saw packed into Pelosi's freezers are only $12 per pint, so you can buy literally 100 of them
with your Trump check. Almost as many as Pelosi has.
Nancy
Pelosi Shows Off Her Kitchen During 'Late Late Show' Appearance While Americans Form Food Lines. Democratic
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed off her kitchen during an appearance on a late night comedy show, while Americans form food
lines across the country. Pelosi appeared on Monday's [4/13/2020] episode of "The Late Late Show" with James Corden,
where she slammed President Donald Trump's handling of COVID-19 and then showed off her ice cream collection.
The Editor says...
Since I don't own a television, this was the first time I had ever heard of James Corden.
Is
Nancy Pelosi trying to be the most hated woman in America? As part of its coronavirus relief package, Congress
passed the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), a $349 billion fund to help businesses with fewer than 500 employees. [...]
Pelosi seems determined once again to put her agenda ahead of "the little people's" needs. This time, she's refusing to
let the Democrats agree to Mitch McConnell's clean bill: ["]Instead, Democrats want McConnell to acquiesce to
jumps in funding for several entities that received billions under the CARES act, including health care systems, and to
demands to reconfigure the PPP system so that minority and female entrepreneurs are given priority in lending.["]
That's bad. What's worse is that, as small business owners are forced to fire their employees and shut down their
life's work, Pelosi is boasting about blocking the PPP infusion.
Clueless
Pelosi Gets Blasted For Her 'Marie Antoinette' Moment While Americans Are Suffering. [Scroll down] But
just so you know how much she cares, Pelosi gave us a lovely "Let them eat cake" Marie Antoinette moment from her luxurious
San Francisco home, with what looks like two refrigerators. Nice to become rich while being in Congress. If
you've lost your job or are having trouble getting toilet paper, food or paying your mortgage or rent, what a great thing it
is to see Pelosi talk with James Corden about how she keeps her spirits up "during these trying times," showing off expensive
commercial grade appliances jam packed with her $12 pints of designer ice cream in her freezer. [Video clip]
Time Wasted. [Scroll down] If anyone
dawdled, it was Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. She allowed the likes of Schiff to conjure up conspiracies that were
so far-fetched that his constituents should vote him out of office this November 3 or secede from the Union. Then, when
the House settled on its bill of impeachment, Nancy sat on the bill for four weeks, refusing to send it on until January 16,
and Democrats in the Senate still were not satisfied that there should be an impeachment vote. Only when Senate Leader
Mitch McConnell ended this nonsensical travesty and put it to a vote was some sort of order restored. In the meantime,
what was happening? Well, the coronavirus, we now know, was spreading throughout the world in early 2020 with little
action being taken by anyone. Did any of the aforementioned misbehavior by the Democrats have anything to do with the
president's action or inaction? I think it did.
Nancy
Pelosi and her Democrats' unending shame. There are some truly terrible people in Congress; there always have
been some throughout American history. But as the country navigates the course of this mis-modeled and over-hyped
COVID-19 pandemic, Nancy Pelosi stands out as a genuine enemy of America. She loathes the president so much she has
relinquished any semblance of ethics and her own personal character. Every word she utters is a lie. She knows
[quite] well that the president was on top of this virus crisis while she and her fellow anti-Americans were gleefully and
despicably embroiled in their attempt to remove the president from office. Not one of the principals in this
fiasco — Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, or the rest of them — gave a single thought to the
potential threat of the disease emanating from China. There is no record of any of them even mentioning it until the
economic shutdown brought it to their attention. [...] As Pelosi's foot-dragging on the relief bill proves, she cares not one
bit about actual human beings. She is as Stalinist as they come in America; we are just statistics to be used and
abused for her purposes.
Free advice: Whatever Nancy Pelosi recommends, do the opposite! Nancy
Pelosi warns Donald Trump NOT to reopen the country too early and risk a new wave of coronavirus. Speaker Nancy
Pelosi warned Donald Trump not to reopen the country too early as the president has shown increasing signs of impatience with
the coronavirus lockdown. [...] Several of Trump's political and economic advisers have also taken up that call, with an eye
toward a return to normal life — along with a bit of social distancing — at the beginning of May.
Pelosi
Leads Democratic Effort to Use Health Crisis to Change Election Laws. She's at it again. After nearly
torpedoing the CARES Act with a farfetched, radical, extreme environmental wish list, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is once
again trying to attach her liberal wish list to Phase 4 of Congress's coronavirus relief response. This time Pelosi is
focusing in on her plan to usher in mandatory mail-in voting. CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Pelosi directly if she would
try to change election laws in the wake of the coronavirus. She would.
'Here
we go again': Pelosi, Schiff plot new probe of Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spent the last three-plus
years investigating President Trump, and each time, she's come up empty. But she's going to give it another go, this
time as Americans are locked down while the coronavirus sweeps across the nation. Mrs. Pelosi announced last week that
she is setting up a select House committee to "assure that the taxpayer dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent" —
but the California Democrat also said she wants to "examine all aspects of the federal response to the coronavirus."
Democrat
Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Escalates Corona Spread. In one of the most contemptuous interviews in
American history, Nancy Pelosi, on Meet the Press, accused President Trump of accelerating the deaths of the American people
by not restricting more severely early on. She despicably said: "The president fiddles while people are dying."
But, it was she who was inviting Americans to visit Chinatown at the moment the president was already closing us off from
China. The people in Chinatown, be it in San Francisco or Lower Manhattan, were the most likely carriers, traveling
back and forth to see family in China. It is Pelosi who should assume guilt. It was her policy of always being
contrary to Trump that ended up infecting more people. Adam Schiff will open up an investigation of President Trump and
his administration with the hope of damaging the president. Actually, it is Pelosi who should be investigated!
Corona Meltdowns.
[Scroll down] It does not matter whether [Nancy Pelosi's] political and ethical decline was a result of her deep
pathological hatred of Donald Trump. Who cares that her paranoia arose over the so-called "Squad" that might align with
socialist Bernie Sanders to mesmerize Democrats to march over the cliff into McGovern-like oblivion? All concede that
very few octogenarians have the stamina and clarity to put in the 16-hour work-days and transcontinental travel required by a
Speaker of the House. Instead, all that matters is that for a nation in extremis she is now puerile, even
unhinged — and increasingly dangerous. In retrospect, the public will remember how in fear and confusion she
reversed course to spearhead impeachment, outsourced the task in the House of Representatives to its most incompetent and
perfidious members — Representatives Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) — and wasted
weeks of the country's precious energy and time as it was on the cusp of an epidemic. Pelosi then quickly weaponized
the viral crisis in hopes that COVID-19 could do what Robert Mueller's dream team and impeachment had not done —
destroy the administration of Donald Trump before the November 2020 election.
Republicans
Blast Pelosi's Partisan Coronavirus Panel. Republicans are hitting back hard at the Democrats' latest attempt
to hobble Trump's presidency. On Thursday [4/2/2020], Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the creation of the House Select
Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, a panel that will purportedly provide oversight of coronavirus stimulus spending.
Republicans view the panel as a purely partisan move that isn't necessary because there are already numerous oversight measures
in the $2 trillion stimulus bill passed by Congress last week. Byron York in The Washington Examiner suggested that
the real reason for the new panel is to find fault with the president's response to the pandemic. "Pelosi's announcement
came a day after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff called for a 9/11-style independent commission to investigate
'mistakes' in the virus response," York wrote.
Whose Side
Is Nancy Pelosi Really On? Unfortunately, and to dismay of many, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has not
retreated from national attention. Obviously, personal attacks on this president are nothing new. But Pelosi's
recent comments took things to a new low and exceeded all bounds of human decency. Pelosi blamed the president for the
tragic loss of life resulting from this virus. Her statements are not only vile but un-American. They also make
it difficult to tell whose side Pelosi is really on. "As the president fiddles, people are dying," Pelosi said last
Sunday. "We just have to take every precaution." The vile nature of her comments cannot be overstated. [...] Not only
is Pelosi's comment disgusting; it is also incorrect. Trump's decision in January to bar travel from China to the
United States likely slowed the spread of the virus and saved many lives.
House
Democrats reveal plan to attack security of military votes. [I]n the Coronavirus relief package recently passed
by Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats tried to include language making it easier to commit vote fraud
with the ballots of our military stationed overseas. House Democrats' proposed additions to the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act included changes to election law that would provide cover for individuals and activists yearning for
federal protection for voting fraud schemes that could include military ballot manipulation. [...] House Democrats used the
word "temporary" twenty-two times in their legislative requests. But all changes to election law were to "go into
effect in the November 2020 election and for each succeeding federal election." Pelosi and team wanted to make sure
provisions imperiling election integrity, particularly military votes, were permanent.
No
More Pork-Laden Stimulus Bills, Please. Nothing cries out more for giving the president a line item veto for
federal spending than the 880-page coronavirus stimulus bill that Speaker Pelosi put together from her Socialist Wish List
filing cabinet and pasted into her stimulus bill. Rep James Clyburn (D-SC) had already signaled the plan was to load
the Democrat agenda into the bill. Ultimately the taxpayer was saddled with the costs of many programs completely
unrelated to managing the crisis. Did the Speaker expect to get the entire progressive agenda which included
legitimizing voter fraud? No, she sent up a lot of throwaways, but the pattern has always been to force acceptance of
some of the agenda each time there is a crisis, attaching as much as possible to each "must pass" bill. Each side then
proclaims how much they surrendered by giving up their throwaways. Because the pork is buried in massive bills, the
assumption is no one will read it before passage. With each crisis, the country is then moved incrementally to the left
and national debt increases by unnecessary amounts.
President
Trump Stands Tall. The Democrats seem more interested in damaging President Trump politically than they are in
taking care of the American people. Speaker Pelosi tried to attach all kinds of extraneous, irrelevant addenda to the
relief bill (support for Planned Parenthood, voting rights modifications intended to make things more favorable to Dems in
future elections, money for NPR and the Kennedy Center, etc.), all of which delayed the bill — needlessly —
for a week. As millions of businesses close their doors and tens of millions of Americans lose their jobs, Pelosi and the
Democrats continue to look upon the entire situation as nothing more than an opportunity for a power grab. The bill went
through in bi-partisan fashion a week later than it should have, and most, but not all, of the Democratic fat was trimmed
out. But it didn't have to be that way at all.
Nancy
Pelosi under fire for controversial stock moves. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has made a tidy profit
on the stock market since the deadly Wuhan virus outbreak began in January. Critics say the timing of her husband's
stock purchases were suspicious because they occurred while Pelosi was learning, in closed-door Congressional meetings, about
the potential coronavirus impacts. Around mid-January, Pelosi's husband, Paul, had made nearly $2 million in just
10 weeks through savvy trading of Amazon and Facebook stock options, Barron's reported.
They're the ultimate Monday morning quarterbacks. With
virus crisis raging, Pelosi and Schiff ramp up new Trump investigations. The team is back in action. On
Thursday [4/2/2020], Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the creation of the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis. The
new panel will have the authority to investigate any aspect of the virus emergency and the Trump administration's handling of
it. Pelosi's announcement came a day after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff called for a 9/11-style
independent commission to investigate "mistakes" in the virus response.
Donald
Trump Trashes Nancy Pelosi Coronavirus 'Witch Hunt'. President Donald Trump ripped House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
on Thursday [4/2/2020] for creating a new select investigative committee to look into his handling of the coronavirus.
"This is not the time for politics. Endless, partisan investigations, here we go again," Trump said at the White House
press briefing.
Pelosi
creates House coronavirus oversight committee. Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she was forming a special House
panel to oversee the distribution of billions of federal dollars dedicated to the response to the coronavirus outbreak.
Pelosi, a California Democrat, said Thursday [4/2/2020] the panel would "prevent waste, fraud, and abuse" and would be
bipartisan. She appointed the House majority whip, South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn, to oversee the panel.
Pelosi
pushes 'SALT shakeup' stimulus that could reduce her tax bill and enrich her wealthy district. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is pushing for a new stimulus bill that would roll back the state and local tax deduction (SALT), a
proposal that would predominantly help wealthy individuals — including most residents in Pelosi's district and
perhaps even Pelosi herself. [...] California's 12th congressional district, which Pelosi represents, is among the wealthiest
in the U.S., with a median income of $113,919, according to census data. The average household income is $168,456 —
meaning most residents would benefit from any significant cut to SALT. Pelosi and her husband have a property tax liability
of approximately $198,337.62 considering their two homes, a winery and two commercial properties, public records show, indicating
that the couple could reap benefits on roughly $188,000 given a full SALT repeal.
Trump
talked about COVID-19 threat in SOTU speech Nancy Pelosi ripped to shreds. On January 31, Trump issued a ban on
travel from China, and we are now reminded that the president talked about the coronavirus four days later during his State
of the Union address — you know, the one Pelosi stood up before the American people and ripped in half.
"Protecting Americans' health also means fighting infectious diseases," Trump said in the Feb. 4 speech. "We're
coordinating with the Chinese government and working closely together on the coronavirus outbreak in China. My
administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat." But even before all of this is
the little-reported fact that on January 29, Trump formed the White House Coronavirus Task Force — the first
confirmed case in the U.S. came on January 21, in Washington state.
Nancy
Pelosi: Cancer on the body politic. "Nancy Pelosi is a cancer on the body politic." Those are the words
of Mark Levin and he is profoundly correct. It is actually an understatement. This woman has dedicated her entire
recent term to impeaching President Trump over a phone call. She stupidly bought into Adam Schiff's lunacy that they
had the evidence that the president had threatened the president of Ukraine with a quid pro quo — either
investigate the Clinton campaign's meddling in the 2016 election or else. [...] Then came the Wuhan virus. Oh my, were
the Democrats thrilled. This would be the crisis they could use, manipulate to their desired end. This
is how utterly stupid these Democrats are! This is how malicious they are; they are ready and willing to destroy the
United States economy to take down a president they abhor.
McCarthy
rips Pelosi, says Dems were 'preoccupied with impeachment instead of protecting this country'. House Minority
Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., blasted Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Tuesday night [3/31/2020] for being more concerned
with impeaching President Trump earlier this year than preparing the U.S. to fight the coronavirus contagion. "They
were preoccupied with impeachment instead of protecting this country," McCarthy said on "Hannity". "That's exactly the only
thing they focused upon. And then you watch Nancy Pelosi, I watched her sit there and say those words, and it was very
upsetting to me as an American, not as an elected official but as an American."
Nancy
Pelosi Dismissed Coronavirus Threat in February Chinatown Visit: 'Everything Is Fine Here'. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi wants to investigate President Trump for his actions in the lead-up to the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., but in
February, she dismissed the threat with a visit to San Francisco's Chinatown. KPIX documented Pelosi's February 24
visit to a fortune cookie factory and retailers: [Video clip]
Does
Nancy Pelosi know about the coronavirus outbreak? Someone ought to tell Speaker Nancy Pelosi about the
coronavirus outbreak, because her laser focus on pushing her political agenda suggests she's unaware of it. The latest
evidence: She wants to "retroactively" roll back Congress' 2017 cap on tax deductions for state and local taxes (SALT),
The New York Times reports. She claims lifting the cap would address the economic fallout of COVID-19. She wants her
"fix" to be part of Congress' next rescue plan. But her idea has nothing to do with boosting the economy and everything
to do with helping Dems in blue states, like California, New York, New Jersey and Illinois. More than half the benefits
of a repeal would go to folks making more than $1 million. Don't Dems oppose tax breaks for the rich?
McConnell:
What's the rush on Phase 4 coronavirus relief, except for Pelosi's hobby-horse agenda? Two key Senate
Republicans declared Nancy Pelosi's tax break for blue-state millionaires dead on arrival — if she has the nerve
to actually propose it. The chair of the Finance Committee, which would have to approve the elimination of the state
and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, won't bother to review it at all. A spokesperson for Chuck Grassley wondered why
this would be the time to bring up a tax break for millionaires in high-tax states like California and New York.
Nancy
Pelosi urged people to congregate in Chinatown in late February. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi critiqued
President Trump for his failure to imagine the disastrous effect of the COVID-19 coronavirus on the American public and
infrastructure, when in fact she failed to imagine the same thing. On February 24th, Pelosi walked through San
Francisco's Chinatown with a large entourage, encouraging locals to come down and join her. Pelosi said: "Come to
Chinatown. Here we are. We're careful, safe, and come join us." She was more concerned with virtue
signalling and combating "racism" than she was with securing the safety of Americans.
Trump
rips Pelosi after she criticizes his coronavirus response. President Trump tore into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
after she accused him of dragging his feet in the federal government's response to the coronavirus pandemic. "It's a
sad thing. Look, she's a sick puppy, in my opinion," Trump told Fox & Friends on Monday [3/30/2020]. "She's
got a lot of problems. That's a horrible thing to say." Pelosi said Sunday that Trump's denial about the seriousness
of the virus "was deadly."
Marsha
Blackburn: Pelosi 'Fiddled Around' with 'Sham Impeachment,' Wasting Time in Coronavirus Response.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for her accusations that President Donald Trump
did not move fast enough to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. "Nancy Pelosi is accusing Trump of not responding fast
enough to the Chinese coronavirus. This is the same person that fiddled around with a sham impeachment that wasted
valuable time..." she tweeted.
Lindsey
Graham Goes Off after Pelosi Blames Trump for People Dying. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) joined Maria Bartiromo on
Sunday Morning Futures this morning [3/29/2020]. Maria asked Senator Graham about Nancy Pelosi's disgusting Sunday morning
comments blaming President Trump for people dying from coronavirus. Senator Graham went off. [Video clip]
Pelosi
calls for probe into Trump's handling of virus: 'What did he know and when did he know it?'. Without any
pushback from CNN, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Sunday that every deceased coronavirus patient's death is
attributable to President Donald Trump. And in issuing this bold insinuation, she told lie after lie after lie.
"The president, his denial at the beginning, was deadly," she said to CNN's Jake Tapper during a discussion Sunday morning
about mounting coronavirus deaths in the states. There was no "denial at the beginning." While the president offered
optimism, as he's always wont to do, his administration has been taking actions in regard to the global coronavirus pandemic
since January, when House Democrats like Pelosi were busy trying to impeach him over highly dubious allegations of wrongdoing.
Little
of Pelosi's Wish List Made It Into COVID-19 Relief Bill. That's a Relief in Itself. There's a lot in
those 880 pages, and much of it is problematic: The bill is neither targeted and temporary, nor directed exclusively at
the coronavirus [...] Before the bill made it through the Senate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., temporarily derailed
it by insisting that any relief bill include a left-wing wish list unrelated to the ongoing pandemic and the economic
slowdown that it's causing.
Coronavirus
Causing a Right Turn. [Scroll down] Laser-focused on the emotional and financial well-being of each and
every American, Trump is seeking to get relief funds into their hands ASAP. Insidiously evil Nancy Pelosi held up the
process. She is callously exploiting the suffering of Americans to force Trump to sign a relief bill with funding for
unrelated radical leftist agenda items. Pelosi wants wind and solar tax credits, mandates on corporate board diversity,
advancing abortion, mandating the LGBTQ agenda, the Green New Deal and much more. Sen. Ted Cruz's response was,
"What [...] does that have to do with this crisis?!" I pray that Democrat party loyalists will finally realize that
their party as they knew it is gone. It has morphed into an anti-Christian and anti-American enemy within, driven by a
spirit of anti-Christ. The only thing, I repeat, the only thing Democrats care about is transforming America into their
socialist/communist dream.
Republicans
Cave To Pelosi, Unanimously Vote To Give $350 Million To Refugees, Migrants. Republican and Democratic senators
unanimously voted to pass a coronavirus relief bill late Wednesday that gives $350,000,000 to assist refugees and
migrants. Earlier this week, it was revealed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's relief package would include
$300,000,000 for refugee assistance. The new bill, approved by the Senate and now headed to the House, includes an
additional $50 million on top of Pelosi's initial $300 million for refugees.
Senate
Passes Coronavirus Bill, Proving Pelosi Gambled With Americans' Lives and Lost. In the wee hours of Wednesday
evening [3/25/2020], the U.S. Senate finally passed the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill after a great deal of Democrat
stalling and a futile effort by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to put forward a separate bill jam-packed with liberal Christmas
wish-list items. The bill provides crucial relief to businesses struggling with the social distancing strategy of
stopping the spread of the coronavirus. It now heads to the House. The stimulus bill is far from perfect, but its
passage unmasked Pelosi's tactics as a disgraceful waste of time during this crisis. House Minority Leader Kevin
McCarthy (R-Calif.) slammed the speaker for her attempt to jam her liberal pipe dreams down Americans' throats in the midst
of a crisis.
The Editor says...
"The wee hours" are the first few hours after midnight. There are no "wee hours" in the evening.
How
do you solve a problem like Pelosi? Nancy Pelosi has long been a thorn in the side of not just conservatives
but the House itself. For reasons no Republican could ever grasp, she is a heroine to the left, despite her many
serious failures. She is a traitor to her own district; she has never lifted a finger to deal with San Francisco's
catastrophic homeless disaster. She does not even admit it exists! She seems to think she is some kind of
monarch, a queen bee. In fact, she is a vicious elitist. She and her husband, like Sen. Dianne Feinstein and
her husband, are the ultimate inside traders who have become very rich over their years in public office. [...] The Pelosi
family are like the Gambino crime family. They get their way, they get rich, they care about nothing else. Nancy
may pretend she cares about climate change but she flies across the country weekly and charges the taxpayer not only for her
private jet but for her massive liquor bill. She pretends to be a practicing Catholic but is rabidly
pro-abortion. In short, she's a nasty piece of work.
After
first lying about her corrupt bill, Pelosi has finally agreed to abandon it. On Sunday [3/22/2020], the news was that Democrats in the
Senate, having worked to draft a bipartisan bill to help Americans through the coronavirus crisis, received orders from Rep. Nancy Pelosi to reject it.
On Monday, the Democrats doubled down on that rejection. Also, on Monday, Nancy proposed a 1,100-page bill that did provide some help for America's
workers, small businesses, and corporations. Most of the bill, though, was given over to Democrat wish-list items. If coronavirus had hit
America with a Democrat in the White House and a Democrat majority in Congress, by Monday's end, a new law would have
• raised the federal minimum wage to $15,
• subsidized student loan debt,
• provided more funds for PBS,
• funded the IRS and the Postal Service,
• mandated race and gender diversity for corporate boards,
• implemented same-day voter registration
• required airplanes to be carbon neutral in five years,
as well as a host of other initiatives pandering to social justice, environmental, and union concerns — and all of it would ostensibly have
been done to protect American workers from coronavirus's ravages on the economy.
Pelosi
Suffers Massive Political Hit — Abandons House Scheme. You can tell when Speaker Pelosi recognizes a
political backlash for her manipulative schemes because it's the only time she blitzes the media. After suffering a
very large political hit, beyond the capability of the media to defend, Pelosi said today the House will take up the Senate
coronavirus bill. The writing was on the wall late yesterday as people started digging into the 1,400 page House
proposal and exposing all of the far-left ideological efforts within it. Billions were earmarked for nonsense
progressive projects and the House scheme was fraught with social engineering that had nothing to do with assisting workers
and businesses. Even Pelosi's own party started telling leadership they had gone way too far with the assembled list of
nonsense legislation. The speaker recognized if she did not quickly make a tactical retreat her party would be crushed
by exposure of the brazen politics they were attempting. The reach was so extreme, the media could not protect
her. In an effort to save a horrid face, the speaker was forced to blitz the media alone while all other house members
watched to see how she could recover.
Pelosi Caves.
Nancy Pelosi has thrown in the towel on her attempt to misuse the Wuhan virus epidemic to sneak partisan legislation that has
never been able to make it through Congress into law. [...] One can only imagine how bad the Democrats' polling must have
been to cause such a hasty retreat. The Democrats had no one behind them except their most extremist supporters, like
the New York Times.
NOT
hyperbole: Pelosi's Dems would rather airplanes get better gas mileage than save Americans amid coronavirus shutdown.
It should be more than obvious by now that Nancy Pelosi and her Garbage Party are exploiting the coronavirus outbreak
a) to win politically; and b) to hurt President Trump. Only, they're hurting Americans instead.
Operating under the Democratic mandate of "Never let a good crisis go to waste," the Speaker of the House has been holding up
coronavirus relief legislation that, at a time when businesses have shuttered and workers laid off by the millions, would provide
direct aid to both. For no reason other that naked political power.
Democrats
block coronavirus lifeline stimulus in despicable partisan maneuver. It should have been 100%. Every Senator on
Capitol Hill should have been able to recognize the dire straits America finds itself in with the Wuhan Coronavirus causing economic
havoc and putting millions of Americans at great risk. Unfortunately, it's 2020 and partisanship supersedes the needs of the
American people, at least in the eyes of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party she controls.
Nancy
Pelosi's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Decision To Hold The Country Hostage. The weekend began with a
bipartisan plan. People were hopeful. [...] And then Pelosi came back to town from her week-long vacation and announced
the rare, rare bipartisan cooperation the country had seen in the Senate would end with her — and election
politics would begin. [...] This, it is clear, is not an emergency virus bill. It is a Democratic election wish list,
politically poisoned at a time when hundreds are dying, thousands are losing their businesses, and millions are out of work
in the United States. "This," House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn told Democrats Thursday, "is a tremendous opportunity to
restructure things to fit our vision." It's truly an incredible political act by the speaker, and the entire Democratic
Senate fell in step behind her.
GOP
details Pelosi's $2.5 trillion 'socialist wish list' in coronavirus aid package. House Republicans on Monday
night offered a detailed critique of what they called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's "socialist wish list" in House Democrats'
$2.5 trillion proposal for responding to the coronavirus outbreak. "Speaker Pelosi unveiled legislation aimed at
exploiting the COVID-19 public health crisis by attempting to force the inclusion of a socialist wish list of policies that
have nothing to do with the public health and economic emergency," said House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Louisiana Republican.
Vile:
Nancy Pelosi's daughter Christine endorses felony assault on Rand Paul. The context of the sick tweet,
according to Fox News, was someone stating that Sen. Mitt Romney, upon hearing of Paul's illness, decided to
self-quarantine after hearing about Paul's misfortune in order to protect his wife, who has a medical condition that leaves
her especially vulnerable. Instead of cheering Romney, which would have been a reasonable person's response, she
decided to go low, [...] by bringing up the violent 2017 assault on Paul by a hate-crazed neighbor, whose attack left Paul
with five broken ribs and the loss of part of his lung — in order to cheer the criminal. And this, right at
the time when Paul is now afflicted by the coronavirus. Normal people wish anyone with the coronavirus, even political
opponents, well.
Twitter
pulls tweet from Nancy Pelosi's daughter about Rand Paul. Twitter confirmed the company locked House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's daughter out of her account for a short period of time due to a tweet she sent about Republican Sen. Rand
Paul that it said amounted to an endorsement of violence. "The account owner was temporarily locked out for violating
the Twitter rules against glorification of violence," a Twitter spokesperson told the Washington Examiner on Tuesday
[3/24/2020]. Christine Pelosi tweeted Sunday that the man who allegedly attacked the Kentucky senator in 2018 was
"right" for doing so.
Nancy
Pelosi Proposes 1,400-Page Coronavirus Bill Stuffed with Special Interest Goodies. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
debuted a 1,120-page coronavirus rescue bill after Democrats tanked the Senate proposal on Sunday night. The bill
includes a wish list of Democrats' pet issues including: [#1] Increased fuel emission standards for airlines receiving funds
and carbon offsets [...] [#2] Payment for up to $10,000 in student loans [...] [#3] Same-day voter registration, early
voting, voting by mail, ballot harvesting [...] [#4] Preserving collective bargaining powers for unions [...] [#5] The
expansion of wind and solar tax credits [...] [#6] Requirements for federal and corporate gender and racial diversity data
[...] [#7] Post Office Bailout [...] [#8] Automatic extension of nonimmigrant visas [...] [#9] Restricting colleges
from providing information about citizenship status [...] [#10] Money for Planned Parenthood
Schumer
and Pelosi Try to Add Fuel Emission Standards For Airlines, More Wind and Solar Tax Credits to Coronavirus Stimulus
Package. Pelosi and Schumer continued to play politics on Monday [3/23/2020] amid the Coronavirus shutdown and
demanded a wish list of Socialist policies that have nothing to do with the global pandemic. Pelosi and Schumer are now
pushing these demands: [#1] Unprecedented collective bargaining powers for unions [#2]
Increased fuel emissions standards for airlines [#3] Expansion of wind and solar tax credits Even worse,
not only are these demands totally unrelated to the Coronavirus pandemic, they could prevent companies from participating in
the loan programs — directly causing unnecessary layoffs, according to a senior GOP aide.
Journey
to Surrealville: What's really fuelling Pelosi's shutdown of America's relief package? After days of
unusual comity between Republicans and Democrats in the coronavirus crisis, the big congressional economic aid package to
help hospitals, laid off workers, and battered small businesses all came crashing down as Nancy Pelosi jetted in from
vacation, blocking the set-to-go bill over the weekend. In place of that, she came up with a 1,400-nightmare political
goody bag for the left — everything from ballot-harvesting to corporate diversity requirements to greenie airline
regulations to a $15 minimum wage and a lot of other horrors — attempting to slip through the entire panoply of
laws her party wants to enact but can't get passed. It was Pelosi's and other Democrats' doing, all right —
just look at how the New York Times changed its headline sequence, first putting out the facts about Democrat road-blocking,
then, likely after some Pelosian phone calls, softening the blame, and then declaring the whole thing a bipartisan
morass. Yeah, sure.
Dems
demanding new union bargaining powers, solar tax credits in new coronavirus aid package. Congressional
Democrats are demanding an "ideological wish list" including new collective bargaining powers for unions as they hold up a
nearly $2 trillion economic package of coronavirus relief, Republicans said Monday [3/23/2020]. The Democrats' belated
list of demands includes new, tighter fuel emission standards for airlines and an expansion of wind and solar tax credits, a
senior Republican aide said.
Republicans
want a lifeline; Democrats want to remake the country. The cynical partisan opportunism of Democrats exhibited
during the coronavirus economic crisis has been breathtaking. Rather than move forward with quick, no-frills, massive
$1.8 trillion dollar rescue plan, Democrats decided to hold the country hostage by trying to cram through a slew of lefty
goodies that have absolutely nothing to do with the pending economic crisis. As corporate boards struggle to figure out
ways to keep their companies afloat, Nancy Pelosi is demanding that they spend time filling gender and racial quotas, down to
"subcommittee assignments." As the transportation sector wrestles with a once-in-a-century economic disaster, Democrats are
trying to compel airlines — who have seen a 90 percent drop in customers — to cut greenhouse gas
emissions every year until they hit a 50 percent reduction. If Pelosi keeps this up, airlines are going to see a
100 percent reduction soon enough.
Pelosi
'Stimulus' Bill Imposes Nationwide 'Ballot Harvesting' Without 'Any Limit'. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's
new stimulus bill would mandate nationwide "ballot harvesting," allowing party operatives to return other people's ballots to
polling places without "any limit" on the number of ballots. "Ballot harvesting" was legalized in California in 2016,
and first used in the 2018 midterm elections. It allows anyone to drop off someone else's mail-in ballot at a polling
station. There is no process for vetting or verifying those delivering the ballots — no background checks or
identification requirements. Democrats dropped hundreds of thousands of ballots off at polling stations in 2018,
helping Democrats as they flipped seven Republican seats.
Here
is the Far-Left Wish, List Nancy Pelosi Just Blew Everything Up For. According to a source close to the process on Capitol Hill,
in order to move forward with any kind of [coronavirus emergency] relief package, Pelosi and her far-left Democrat caucus will demand the following be included:
• Publication of corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards
• A bail out on all current debt at the Postal Service
• Required early voting
• Required same day voter registration
• Provisions on official time for union collective bargaining
• Full offset of airline emissions by 2025
• Publication and reporting of greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights
• Retirement plans for community newspaper employees
• Federal $15 minimum wage
• Permanent paid leave
• Study on climate change mitigation efforts
Democrats
Block Coronavirus Bill That Provides Lifeline To Economy, Families. Democrats blocked a massive $1.8 trillion
stimulus spending bill to protect the U.S. economy and provide relief to American families who are suffering as a result of
the coronavirus outbreak. [...] Townhall political editor Guy Benson reported that Senate sources said that Democrat House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi was responsible for tanking the bill. "Talking to some Senate GOP sources. They seem stunned and
angry," Benson said. "I'm told there was lots of bipartisan input into the legislative outline & emerging specifics —
including an agreement in principle on broad strokes. Then Pelosi showed up and threw a partisan grenade."
Nancy
Pelosi Nixes Bipartisan Talks on Coronavirus Package. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Sunday that she
has decided to move forward with her own emergency coronavirus relief package. Pelosi spoke just hours before the
Senate was scheduled to take a procedural vote that would lead towards a final vote on a bipartisan economic relief
package. The bill would provide economic relief after the coronavirus epidemic ravaged the country's economy.
'People
vs Pelosi' trends when even the left has had enough. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has sparked a heated backlash
as she appeared to be against considering cash payments for Americans in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. The
California Democrat even has members of her own party criticizing her lack of support for measures that would get cash into
the hands of Americans as the economy falters under the global pandemic. The fact that President Donald Trump and his
fellow Republicans have floated the idea as a possibility has only angered the left even more.
10
Ways the Left Has Politicized the Coronavirus Pandemic. [#3] Pelosi's puts Hyde Amendment loophole in
coronavirus bill: What does abortion have to do with protecting the public from coronavirus? Nothing. But
that didn't stop Nancy Pelosi from trying to sneak a loophole for the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal dollars from
being used to pay for abortions, and other Democrat goodies into the coronavirus stimulus package. Republicans called
her out for it, but the left tried to spin the situation differently. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed in an interview
on Fox News that "right now we are hearing that some of the fights and some of the gridlock is because people are trying to
put pro-life provisions" into the coronavirus legislation. Democrats always saw the coronavirus as a political
opportunity, and they never miss a chance to exploit a crisis.
Pelosi
Stutters, Slurs Words and Struggles to Speak as She Fights to Keep Her Dentures in Her Face. Speaker Pelosi
raised eyebrows again on Thursday after she could barely spit out a sentence. Pelosi slurred her words and struggled to
speak as she fought to keep her dentures from flying out of her face. Pelosi looked and sounded just like Joe Biden
during a presser on the Coronavirus on Thursday [3/12/2020]. [Video clip]
Sasse
Rips Pelosi for Trying to Smuggle Hyde Amendment Loophole into Coronavirus Package. Senator Ben Sasse (R.,
Neb.) slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and Democrats for reportedly trying to ensure federal funding for
abortion as part of the coronavirus economic stimulus plan. "While schools are closing and hospitals are gearing up,
Speaker Pelosi is waging unnecessary culture wars. Speaker Pelosi should be fighting the coronavirus pandemic, not
politicizing emergency funding by fighting against the bipartisan Hyde Amendment," Sasse told National Review in a statement.
[...] Pelosi attempted to secure a funding stream of up to $1 billion for reimbursing laboratory claims. According to
White House officials who spoke with the Daily Caller, that provision would establish a precedent under which health claims
for all procedures, including abortion, could be reimbursed with federal funds. That precedent would render the Hyde
Amendment, which blocks taxpayer funding for abortion clinics, obsolete.
White
House Officials Allege Speaker Pelosi Pushed To Include Hyde Amendment Loophole Into Coronavirus Stimulus Plan.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to include a potential way to guarantee federal funding for abortion into the coronavirus
economic stimulus plan, according to multiple senior White House officials. Speaking to the Daily Caller, those
officials alleged that while negotiating the stimulus with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Pelosi tried to lobby for
"several" provisions that stalled bipartisan commitment to the effort. One was a mandate for up to $1 billion to
reimburse laboratory claims, which White House officials say would set a precedent of health spending without protections
outlined in the Hyde Amendment.
Here's
How Eric Holder Helped the Obama Administration Transform the Democratic Party into a Party of Thugs. Nancy
Pelosi sat before a group of Northwestern University students on Monday morning [3/8/2020] and said, "Civilization as we know it is at
stake." No, she wasn't talking about the coronavirus, she was talking about if President Trump wins the election. This
is the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives explaining the constitution to young, impressionable minds. How did
we get to the point where Democrats would send spies into their opponents political campaign, fabricate a scandal to prevent
him from winning, and spend his entire first term trying to remove him from office?
Nancy
Pelosi: 'Civilization as We Know It Is at Stake' in 2020 Election. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Monday
waxed hyperbolic about the 2020 presidential election, telling an audience that "civilization as we know it is at stake."
Pelosi made the remark during a speech at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, [3/9/2020] according to Fox News
correspondent Rob DiRienzo.
Pelosi:
'We have the most dangerous person in the history of our country sitting in the White House'. No other American
has been as dangerous to the country as President Trump, according to the speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi blasted
the president in an interview with Variety published Tuesday [3/3/2020] and urged Democrats to come together for the
2020 election to ensure that Trump becomes a single-term president. [...] The California Democrat said her biggest beef with
the president was that he does not respect the Constitution. She claimed that Trump's pattern of lying could harm
children around the country, a line she won't let be crossed.
The Editor says...
To see an example of a habitually lying U.S. President,
look no further than Barack H. Obama. Likewise, Obama
has no regard at all for the Constitution.
A
Bernie Sanders nomination is Nancy Pelosi's nightmare. [I]f Pelosi simply capitulates and accepts her party's
new socialist overlords, the consequences for the entire party, up and down the ballot, could be catastrophic. [...] This
isn't just about 2020 either. It's an ideological battle for the future of the Democratic Party. If Pelosi
remains silent and Sanders wins the nomination, she will have lost that battle to Ocasio-Cortez and the other radicals.
Nancy
Pelosi says she's all good with socialist Bernie being the Democrat nominee. Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the
House, says she's comfortable with having socialist Senator Bernie Sanders at the top of the Democratic Party's presidential
ticket. Pelosi also dismissed speculation that she's terrified of Democrats losing control of the House of
Representatives if Bernie became her party's nominee. Congresswoman Pelosi made the remarks Wednesday [2/26/2020] in
response to questions from reporters.
The
Democrat Left is cruel and sadistic. Everyone who watched the SOTU speech saw how disrespectful, how rude the
Democrats in the room were. Like small children who have never learned the most basic of manners, they delighted in
their own beastly behavior as a group. They were clearly proud of themselves. How does a large party of alleged
adults so enjoy acting like spoiled toddlers? Because they are perpetually immature; they are happy only when they get
their way. Pelosi's planned stunt at the SOTU proves only that she revels in her own childishness.
The
Rise of Democratic Idiocracy. [Scroll down] She rips up her copy of President Trump's SOTU speech and
it's okay. Nary a word of criticism from any Democratic politician or the liberal media. (One can only imagine the
horrified outcry had a Paul Ryan done the same to President Obama.) This from a person who says she is Catholic and there
is no hate in her heart for the president. For Pelosi and the idiocrats, it's fine to invoke religion when rationalizing
their preferred behavior, but when pinned down about the conflict between their support for abortion and Catholic values, Pelosi
and her ilk quickly retreat to that tired argument of supporting established law vs. holding their own private personal
opinion. "Established law" can easily be changed by a vote of conscience, if it mattered to you. Sort of like
the way the Jim Crow laws were changed. Got that, Nancy?
That's what we said about Obama. Get over it. Pelosi:
America Cannot Withstand 'Destruction' Trump Would Do in a Second Term. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told
CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview that America cannot withstand the "destruction" President Donald Trump
would do if he wins a second term. Pelosi said, "I can't even envision a situation where he would be reelected.
But we are not — we don't take anything for granted."
The Editor says...
Hey Nancy, if you can't imagine any way Trump could be re-elected, how about placing a wager on it?
For example, you'll resign immediately if Trump is re-elected. Now can you imagine it?
Nancy
Pelosi Lashes Out at Reporter for Saying President Trump was Acquitted. Nancy Pelosi traveled to Munich,
Germany this weekend to trash Trump while overseas. During her interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour Pelosi refused
to believe President Trump was overwhelmingly acquitted in the US Senate in the sham impeachment. She's nuts.
Translation: Biden is the pre-ordained establishment candidate. Pelosi
says she is 'not counting Joe Biden out'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi thinks it's too soon to rule out a Joe
Biden presidency. The California Democrat said in an interview with CNN that the former vice president still has a
chance to become the Democratic nominee despite his lackluster showings at the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary,
where he finished fourth and fifth, respectively. She said that although the party has come down to the "winnowing
process," she still sees "everything as an opportunity."
Granny
Winebox Is Going to Hand This Election to Trump. The House investigation and impeachment of the president last
year were, by any objective measure, monumental failures. Trump emerged from the tawdry spectacle stronger than
ever. After being harangued and slandered by every Democrat on Capitol Hill throughout the impeachment drama, the
president's approval ratings actually got better. It was the radioactive spider that bit him and gave him
superpowers. Now the Democrats are looking for more spiders. [...] Pelosi should be leading the party in a direction
that at least gives the appearance of wanting to find cohesion and a path to victory. Instead, she wants to revisit her
greatest failure, which just happened to have wrapped up a week ago.
Joe Biden's My Guy. What political
party does the Democratic Party put you in mind of? Their leader until they settle on a presidential candidate is the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. She is 80 years of age and consults a plastic surgeon as
frequently as she consults her hairdresser, according to my sources. Critics remarked on how infrequently during the
State of the Union she smiled. Actually, with her skin stretched across her face so tautly, she cannot smile. She
can hardly blink. Have a heart, fellows and fellowesses. She would smile and blink more if she could. I am
told she has a very good sense of humor.
Petulant
Nancy Pelosi is everything wrong with Democratic Party. Nancy Pelosi looked like a malfunctioning Stepford wife
as she sat behind President Trump during his State of the Union Address last week. Her lower face twitched, she
muttered to herself, shook her head, smiled inappropriately, gazed around, chewed her lip or remained glued to her seat
during standing ovations in honor of special guests. It was a bizarre enough performance before she rose to her feet
and dramatically ripped up her copy of the president's speech in what will go down in history as the most unseemly display of
partisanship in this partisan era. That moment was when the myth of the "master political strategist" was busted, and
we saw Pelosi, 79, for what she is. Pretending to be classy and prayerful when she is full of petty hatreds and is
incapable of holding her party together, a woman who parades her Catholicism while advocating no-holds-barred abortions,
feigning to pray for the president while deriding him as "sedated."
Pelosi
and Rumpelstiltskin. [Scroll down] I am actually grateful that Pelosi showed her genuine colors when she
tore up President Trump's State of the Union address. First, it is an illegal act according to 18 U.S. Code 2071, but
given that the Democrats cast the law aside when they see fit, this should surprise no one. But it should enlighten
many who, heretofore, were not paying close attention. That she could shred the accomplishments of the Americans who
were invited to the SOTU event is a continuing display of the contempt Democrats have for the people. I would say that
in her wrath, Pelosi has shown America that she does not represent the people and that her party has nothing but disdain for
American values and American lives.
Pelosi Tries
And Fails To Badger Facebook Into Nixing An Edited Video Of Her SOTU Speech Rip. Facebook and Twitter are
refusing to bow to requests from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to nix an edited video of the California Democrat tearing up
President Donald Trump's State of the Union speech. The edited video was posted on both social media platforms after
the Tuesday night SOTU in which Pelosi can be seen ripping a copy of the speech. The video is spliced together to make
it appear that Pelosi ripped the speech as Trump is saluting a Tuskegee airman in the audience.
Pelosi's
Lack of Decorum Is A Revelation. Professor Jonathan Turley of Georgetown University Law School wrote in The
Hill of the Speaker's State of the Union behavior, "Pelosi has shredded decades of tradition, decorum and civility that the
nation could use now more than ever." He also described her with the words "petty," "distempered," and "inappropriate."
She failed to introduce the President properly, and then was particularly out of line when she tore up his speech after grimacing
and showing petulant expressions throughout the President's speech. Turley asserted that she should resign from office
as the Speaker as her breaches of decorum at the State of Union were the worst of all those he has criticized over the years.
[...] Her lack of decorum and the unconscionable, implacable hostility of the Democrats of the House and Senate reveals the
extreme political animosity that presently afflicts our country.
Pelosi
Is Down but Not Out. [Scroll down] There she sat, watching her own party of curmudgeons sit stone-faced
as the president beamed optimism and confidence, rattled off employment gains for women and minorities, reunited a military
family, rescued a child from a failing government school, and honored Rush Limbaugh. There she sat, a day after the
Iowa caucus spectacle, and a day before her adopted sham impeachment sputtered to an inglorious demise. [...] Keep in mind,
Pelosi is only off balance right now because she's feeling pressure from both the right and left flanks. From
the outset, she knew that impeachment was a political loser, and conveyed as much in her repeated attempts to temper the
hotter passions of her more radical colleagues. But she was ultimately outflanked and neutered by her own party.
This is something new to her, and it's left her temporarily discombobulated. But she could bounce back again, as she
has before, in all her vengeful turpitude.
It's
pearl-clutching Democrats who got massacred by Trump impeachment trial. [Scroll down] The heart of the
case is that Dems dug themselves into a hole and won't drop the shovel. They have nothing to show for their 2018 House
victory except a partisan impeachment that was rejected by the public before the Senate killed it. The celebration over
getting Sen. Mitt Romney's vote on one article is like cheering because your team avoided a shutout. You still got
crushed. Wonder of wonders, party leaders reacted by vowing to stay the course. Pelosi, not a whit embarrassed by
her shameful stunt of tearing up the president's State of the Union address, launched into another hateful rant. Saying
Trump looked "sedated," she called his speech a "manifesto of mistruths" and claimed he "shredded the truth in the speech,
shredded the Constitution in his conduct, and so I shredded his state-of-mind address."
Democrat
Congressman Asks Twitter To Remove Trump Video Of Pelosi Ripping Up SOTU Speech. President Donald Trump on
Thursday tweeted out a video that showed images of the people the president honored at the State of the Union alongside clips
of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) ripping up Trump's speech. The caption for the video reads "Powerful American
Stories Ripped To Shreds By Nancy Pelosi." Trump supporters would see the point the video makes — that Pelosi
ripped up a speech that included the stories of many honorable Americans because she hates Trump. Any politician would
do the same for an attack ad. Trump's speech contained a lot of positive information and Pelosi ripped it up, claiming
it was full of lies. If former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) had done that during one of President Barack Obama's
State of the Union speeches the Democrats would absolutely make a similar video.
The Editor says...
Maybe so, but Mr. Boehner wouldn't have made the mistake that Pelosi made.
Pelosi
demands social media platforms remove brutal Trump-shared meme of her SOTU tantrum. A slew of Democrats,
including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have begun demanding that Facebook and Twitter censor a meme video that they find
offensive. Reportedly produced by Turning Point USA and later tweeted by the president himself, the meme juxtaposes the
infamous clip of the House speaker ripping up President Donald Trump's State of the Union address with clips of the president
paying tribute to several extraordinary Americans, including one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen.
I'll bet she does! Pelosi
wants video of her shredding Trump speech removed. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is demanding that social
media companies remove a video posted by the president featuring her stunt of ripping up his State of the Union message.
Her spokesman, Drew Hamill, told The Hill that Pelosi's office had told both Twitter and Facebook to take it down.
Pelosi's
Petulant Performance Panned by Perceptive Public. The 2020 State of the Union event was quite the political
show. President Trump discussed policy successes, from the economic expansion to improved border control (with
Mexico's help, as it happened). Through it all, Speaker Pelosi lurked above, busily turning pages, shaking her head
negatively and mouthing disapproval. It was what psychologists call "passive aggressive behavior," although she did
actively attack her paper copy of the president's speech as a finale.
Democrats
Hate What Trump Is Highlighting about Them. Frozen Face, whose attempt to be the equivalent of the prepubescent
heckler making [rude] noises behind the teacher's back was somewhat stymied by her inability to show any emotion, clearly
planned her in-kind contribution to the Republicans long before the speech. She was transformed into the equivalent of
a toddler angrily holding her breath on national television because she knows that every lethal word is scoring true while
she is powerless to do a thing about it. The president has an amazing record to run on. She has her failed
impeachment gambit and crazy pen ceremony, ensuring that House Democrats have nothing to run on.
The Five Worst Moments
of the Democrats' SOTU. [Scroll down] While half the hall offered loud cheers, the other half mostly sat
still, perhaps in honor of their electoral chances this fall. The energy level on the part of the Democrats didn't rise
until after Trump was finished, and only because Nancy Pelosi, who displayed an impressive variety of bizarre and peculiar
facial expressions throughout, broke the monotony by standing up and dramatically ripping up her copy of the speech's
transcript. Afterwards, asked about her idiotic stunt, Pelosi said she was "courteous" in doing it because it was a
"dirty" speech. "Dirty"? As the NRCC pointed out in a tweet, the speech was an awful lot cleaner than the
dung-dotted streets of her district back home in San Francisco. The speech she ripped up included a salute to the
Venezuelan opposition leader, a tribute to the last surviving Tuskegee airman, a military reunion in the gallery, a young
underprivileged student earning a scholarship to her dream school, and other celebrations of American achievement, and she
calls it "dirty." [...] Tuesday night was the worst night of Pelosi's political career, and it was 100 percent
self-inflicted.
In
her post-SOTU and acquittal press conference, Pelosi lied about Trump. The setting for Pelosi's ferocious
verbal attack against Trump was her weekly press conference. The reasons for her anger and disconnect from reality were
twofold: First, on Tuesday, Trump gave a State of the Union speech that was magnificent. In the first part, he
recited his accomplishments, all of which have benefitted the American people, especially the 99% (unlike Obama's "presidency
for the 1%"). He then outlined plans that will bestow even more benefits on Americans, while introducing individuals who
embody America's greatness. Pelosi, on the other hand, engaged in petty pantomime, capped by her ripping up her copy of
Trump's speech. It was juvenile and offensive. Then, on Wednesday, the Senate acquitted Trump of the impeachment
charges the House Democrats had brought against him. The outcome was preordained, but it was still a slap at the
Democrats and a triumph for Trump.
Newt
Gingrich: Pelosi should be kicked out of office for her 'petty, childish' behavior. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., proved how divided the state of the union is by the "petty childish behavior" she exhibited after President
Trump's address Tuesday night, former House speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday [2/6/2020]. Appearing on "Fox &
Friends" with hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade, Gingrich said he understands where the president is
coming from when he snubs Pelosi. [...] Gingrich said that the idea Pelosi would tear up her copy of the State of the Union
address was "childish" and "so beneath the dignity of the House."
Liz
Cheney: Pelosi 'Is Unfit For Office'. In reference to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tearing up
the president's State of the Union speech on national television, House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney said Pelosi
"had a tantrum" and showed, again, why "she is unfit for office." At a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday
[2/5/2020], the day after the SOTU, Cheney said, "Speaker Pelosi had a tantrum. She disgraced herself. She
dishonored the House." [Video clip]
The Best Is Yet
To Come. I ask you, who is the deranged person here? Candidate #1: the Speaker of the House, who chewed
on sour grapes throughout the President's SOTU only to spit the bitter seeds out at the end, thus demonstrating that she has
embraced the role of petulant teenaged brat with no no sense of propriety and no ability to control her emotions. In
other words, the perfect drama queen. Perhaps she would have served her side better had she simply sat this one out
like a couple of her Homies and Squad mates did. Or at least continued to sit on her hands like the rest of her cabal.
The Suicide of the Left.
The Democrat serving as speaker of the House stands behind the president of the United States at a State of the Union address
and acts like a defiant five-year-old stomping her feet in a temper tantrum. Caught on camera giving the text of his
speech a "pre-rip" beneath her desk, when the chosen moment arrives she ostentatiously rips the speech in half in front of
the cameras, making herself a national laughingstock.
Trump
Impeachment Backfires on Democrats, and Nancy Pelosi Has a Meltdown. During his State of the Union speech the
other night, Trump didn't mention the impeachment once. With Pelosi sitting behind him, muttering to herself like some
angry bag lady alone on a night train, he didn't have to mention it. He focused instead on his accomplishments and the
economy, which infuriates his enemies. When he was done, Pelosi grabbed Trump's speech, and in a fit of petulance,
theatrically ripped it to shreds. That partisan rage will last in the American mind and be featured in Trump political
commercials, just as CNN anchor Don Lemon's laughter mocking Trump voters as illiterate rubes will last until November.
Nancy Pelosi
should resign. The House has its share of infamies, great and small, real and symbolic, and has been the scene
of personal infamies from brawls to canings. But the conduct of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) at the State of the
Union address this week will go down as a day of infamy for the chamber as an institution. It has long been a tradition
for House Speakers to remain stoic and neutral in listening to the address. However, Pelosi seemed to be intent on
mocking President Trump from behind his back with sophomoric facial grimaces and head shaking, culminating in her ripping up
a copy of his address. Her drop the mic moment will have a lasting impact on the House. While many will celebrate
her trolling of the president, she tore up something far more important than a speech. Pelosi has shredded decades of
tradition, decorum and civility that the nation could use now more than ever. The House Speaker is more than a
political partisan, particularly when carrying out functions such as the State of the Union address. A president
appears in the House as a guest of both chambers of Congress. The House Speaker represents not her party or herself but
the entirety of the chamber. At that moment, she must transcend her own political ambitions and loyalties.
Pelosi hurt American
women. Liberals are praising Nancy Pelosi for tearing up the president's speech as Congress rose to applaud him
after he delivered his rousing and patriotic State of the Union. The mean girls moment was petty and childish, a
reminder that when she is under pressure she reverts to being the mayor's spoiled daughter. [Video clip] The
rest of America is watching as the first woman to be heartbeats from the presidency comes undone. She trashed the peace
and prosperity the rest of us have enjoyed the last 3 years. Nancy has devoted to brief reprise as House speaker not to
making life better for the people of America but to ridiculing the man we the people elected president.
Filed:
Department of Justice Criminal Complaint Against Rep. Nancy Pelosi. To the Honorable William Pelham Barr,
United States Attorney General, and to the Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Department of Justice: At
approximately 2218 hours on Tuesday, 04 February 2020, I witnessed clear and indisputable evidence of Rep. Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA), Speaker of the House, committing an act that I believe brazenly and feloniously violates federal law, specifically
18 U.S.C. 2071. In fact, her actions were witnessed by federal law-enforcement officials and she may have colluded
with members of her political caucus who were also witness to this act, in premeditation for the commission of this offense.
'I'm
always dignified': Pelosi dismisses SOTU guests, suggests Trump was 'sedated' as presser goes off the rails.
During her weekly press conference Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried defending her decision to rip up her copy of
the SOTU address by kvetching about the president's guests, accusing the president of being on drugs and claiming everything
he said during the address had been a lie. In the clip below, the speaker first defended her "dignified" premeditated
tearing up of her copy of the SOTU address by complaining about the president's guests. [Video clip] [...] Pelosi
SOTU stunt and her nonsensical Thursday rant come amid reports that the Democrat Party's favorability rating has cratered to
a new low, whereas the Republican Party's favorability rating has skyrocketed to a new high. The public's trust in the
establishment media is also at a record low.
Rep.
Gaetz to File Ethics Charges Against Pelosi: 'She Destroyed Official Records'. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)
announced Wednesday night that he is filing charges in the House Ethics Committee against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) after she ripped up a copy of President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address Tuesday night. During an
interview with Fox news host Laura Ingraham, Gaetz argued that Pelosi has "impulse control problems" and should be held
accountable. "She disgraced the House of Representatives, she embarrassed our country, and she destroyed official
records," Gaetz told Ingraham. "The law does not allow the speaker of the House to destroy the records of the House,
and the rules of the House do not permit some little temper tantrum just because you don't like what the president of the
United States says." Gaetz added that Republicans are sick of the media "double standard" that is applied only to
Republicans.
GOP
introduces resolution to condemn Pelosi for ripping up Trump's State of the Union speech. Just hours after
their colleagues in the Senate voted to acquit President Trump on the two articles of impeachment brought against him,
Republican lawmakers in the House introduced a resolution to condemn House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for ripping up a copy of
Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night. The privileged resolution, which was introduced Wednesday by Texas
Republican Rep. Kay Granger, blasted Pelosi's public shredding of the text of the address as "a breach of decorum" and
said it brought "discredit on the House." After sparring with Republicans on the floor, House Majority Leader Steny
Hoyer, D-Md., said he will move to table, or set aside the resolution, but since the measure is privileged the House must
consider the resolution between now and Friday.
Nancy
Pelosi's State of the Union stunt may have broken the law, Rep. Matt Gaetz says. Republican Rep. Matt
Gaetz filed an ethics complaint against Nancy Pelosi that said the House speaker possibly violated numerous House
rules — and maybe even broke the law — by tearing up a copy of President Trump's State of the Union
speech. The Florida legislator sent a letter to the House Committee on Ethics requesting that it open an investigation
and shared the missive on Twitter. Gaetz wrote that "Speaker Pelosi's gesture was deeply offensive and appears to
violate clauses 1 and 2 of House Rule XXIII," which dictate the House's official code of conduct. "Her
behaviour does not 'reflect creditably on the House,' nor does it follow 'the spirit and the letter of the Rules of the House.'"
Jonathan
Turley to Nancy the Ripper: Apologize or resign. The State of the Union address delivered by President
Trump Tuesday night was like no other I've seen. Most of all, the messages it delivered were effective. The
Democrats in attendance resorted to behavior indicating they now realize the future may not be so bright for them on Election
Night 2020. Speaker Pelosi led them over the cliff. [...] Woven into the speech were several moments that will be remembered
long after any sentences that the president read to the nation — not the least of which is the final moment when
the Speaker of the House rose from her seat directly behind President Trump and began ripping up her copy of the multi-page
document. That wasn't any old copy of a speech, that was an official document that Trump handed to her before
delivering the speech.
Nancy
Pelosi planned out her toddler-like rip stunt all along. After losing her House's bid to remove President Trump
from office after the Senate vote, and facing next the miserable fallout for her party, Nancy Pelosi wanted to do something
mean for the cameras, to Get Trump. In response to the president's State of the Union speech that was reaching its
final applause, it wasn't enough to leave the premises. With the cameras still on, she ceremonially ripped the papers
of the speech behind him, in order to draw applause lines from leftists.
Nancy
Pelosi 'pre-ripped' pages of Trump's SOTU speech, video shows. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently made tiny
tears into her copy of President Trump's State of the Union address — so that her speech-ripping moment could go
off without a hitch. As Trump introduced cancer-stricken radio host Rush Limbaugh — who received the Medal
of Freedom during the speech — Pelosi could be seen grabbing the pages off the table. Video shows her making
what seemed to be a tearing motion and then placing the pages back on the table. Photos of the sheets of paper show
them face down on the table with small slits on the side, near where Pelosi would eventually rip them into pieces.
Pelosi
'ripped our hearts out' tearing up that speech says brother of man killed by illegal alien. Of all the
theatrics and political gamesmanship House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., displayed Tuesday night at the State of the Union,
and the dishonor she brought upon the institution of government with her antics, the worst thing she did was to bring even
more pain to the family of a man killed by an illegal immigrant. Jody Jones was a State of the Union guest of President
Donald Trump, representing his grieving family after his brother, Rocky Jones, was shot and killed in California in 2018 by
an illegal alien with a long criminal history and previous deportation orders. And Jones wasn't appreciative of
Pelosi's actions, as the speaker was seen fidgeting, pursing her lips and making faces. Like a petulant child, she
ripped in half a copy of the SOTU speech given to her by the president at the end — a move Jones likened to
ripping the hearts out of the chests of every guest in attendance.
Pelosi:
'I don't know if the president understands about prayer or people who pray'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) blasted President Trump's comments at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning in which he took a swipe at
the Speaker's previous comments that she prayed for the president. [...] "I don't like people who use their faith as
justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say 'I pray for you' when they know that's
not so," Trump said at the event.
Pelosi
rips McConnell as 'rogue leader' after Trump acquittal. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) denounced Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as a "rogue leader" after the Senate voted to acquit President Trump on
Wednesday. The Speaker accused Trump and Senate Republicans of having "normalized lawlessness and rejected the system
of checks and balances." "Our Founders put safeguards in the Constitution to protect against a rogue president,"
Pelosi said in a statement after the final impeachment votes in the Senate. "They never imagined that they would at the
same time have a rogue leader in the Senate who would cowardly abandon his duty to uphold the Constitution."
Pelosi's
burns: From SOTU tear to title snub, speaker throws shade at Trump throughout address. When asked why she
tore up Trump's speech by a reporter, Pelosi shot back, "Because it was the courteous thing to do considering the
alternatives." The speaker then released a statement slamming Trump's speech for alleged falsehoods. "The
manifesto of mistruths presented in page after page of the address tonight should be a call to action for everyone who
expects truth from the President and policies worthy of his office and the American people," she said in a tweet linking to a
larger statement. Trump hit back at Pelosi's actions Tuesday, retweeting a post from the White House that noted some of
the president's high-profile guests, including a Tuskegee Airman and a child who survived being born at 21 weeks, were
in the contents of the speech Pelosi tore. The moment marked a stunning departure from decorum, at an event where even
partisan enemies typically put on a show of tolerance toward each other.
Nancy Pelosi's Midnight
Ride. Mrs. Pelosi herself is a tribune of what President Reagan's envoy to the United Nations, Jeane
Kirkpatrick, called the "San Francisco Democrats." In our view, this is why, despite all the constitutional points on which
the Democrats prosecuted the President, the whole thing failed to compute. It's why they failed in the House to gain a
single Republican vote for impeachment and why they lost on an almost straight party line in the Senate.
Mike
Pence: Nancy Pelosi hit a 'new low' by ripping up Trump's SOTU speech. Speaking on "Fox & Friends" the
morning after President Trump delivered the State of the Union address, Pence, who was standing next to Pelosi during the
president's speech, added, "I wasn't sure if she was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution." Pence, who
said he did not actually see Pelosi rip up the speech, but found out a few moments later, noted that "The contrast here was a
president who spent an hour-and-a-half making the speech about America and Nancy Pelosi in the final moments tried to make it
about her." "I think the American people see through it. They see through the pettiness, they see through the
politics of all of it," Pence continued.
White
House slams Pelosi for tearing up State of the Union address. Nancy Pelosi bragged to cheering Democrats
Wednesday morning about her ripping up Donald Trump's State of the Union address while the White House blasted the speaker
for the move. Pelosi got a rock star welcome from her Democratic Party when she met with them in the Capitol Wednesday
morning. Lawmakers greeted her with thunderous applause and gave her a standing ovation when she explained why she
ripped up the pages of text. 'He shredded the truth so I shredded his speech,' she said, according to reports.
Santilli:
Nancy Pelosi Should Be Censured For Misconduct At President Trumps' SOTU Address. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
ripped up President Trump's SOTU speech Tuesday night after he was finished speaking. Pelosi was asked by reporters why
she ripped up the speech. "It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives," Pelosi said. The White
House promptly issued a blistering response to Pelosi's temper tantrum.
Pelosi
Was Mandated to Preserve Trump's Signed Copy of His SOTU Speech — She Tore It Up Instead. President
Trump delivered a historic State of the Union Address on Tuesday night. Upon entering the House chamber President Trump
handed Speaker Pelosi a signed copy of his State of the Union speech as is required. According to Carl
Hibgie — US law requires that Pelosi preserve any official government document: [...] Nancy Pelosi chose to very
publicly destroy the document instead.
SOTU
Guest Jody Jones: Pelosi 'Ripped Our Hearts Out' by Ripping Trump Speech. Tuesday, Jody Jones was in
attendance for President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address in honor of his brother, Rocky Jones, who was killed in
California by a criminal illegal immigrant under the state's sanctuary policy. Immediately following Trump's speech,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was seen on camera ripping up Trump's State of the Union speech, to which Jones shared his
reaction to in a Wednesday appearance on "Fox & Friends." Jones said seeing Pelosi rip the speech up was "probably
the most disrespectful thing" he has ever seen in his life, adding it "ripped" his family's hearts out.
'Democrats
Sit and Pout over the Thriving State of Our Union'. At Tuesday night's State of the Union, President Trump
stood triumphant on his record, Democrats sat and glowered with impotent rage, and the contrast was breathtaking. In
Iowa, the Democratic Party cannot not even competently count 172,000 votes, and the ones that have been counted point to a
win by Boy Mayor and Jurassic Marxist. On the dais in the U.S. Capitol, "Master Strategist" Nancy Pelosi, sat behind
the president making childish faces during his State of the Union address, and then closed out the night by physically
ripping up her copy of the speech, an act so childish there are no words.
Speaker
Nancy Pelosi Tears Up President Trump Speech Transcript Following State of The Union. In a clear sign of
desperation; as President Trump approval numbers jump significantly while the impeachment effort fails; and seeming to accept
that Democrat 2020 ambitions are evaporating in front of her eyes; Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tears up the printed
copy of President Trump's State of the Union remarks at the conclusion of the speech. [Video clip] Quite a
remarkable display of pettiness and partisan hate.
Trump
Delivers Triumphant State Of The Union While Pelosi Seethes. The 2020 State of the Union dripped optimism, and
still, the majority of Democrat members of Congress sat stone-faced, refusing to acknowledge the achievements of the past
three years. Surely, everyone could celebrate achievement. Unfortunately, it is clear for Pelosi and her party
colleagues that achievement means nothing if it is credited to the president of the other party. It is one thing to
have differences of opinion about which policies might best serve the nation, but it is quite another to pour scorn upon good
policy for no other reason than a dislike for the president who championed those policies. The enduring image of
President Trump's 2020 State of the Union address will be that of the House Speaker tearing up her copy of the president's
speech. The action epitomized the absolute refusal, on the part of the opposition party, to cooperate in any efforts to
move the country forward.
SOTU:
The unspeakable ungraciousness of the Democrats in Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi yet again embarrassed
herself. This is a woman without an iota of grace or class. She has been determined to see President Trump
unseated since the day he won the election. She is the wicked witch of the House; all-powerful but losing her grip on
her caucus and her sanity; she is melting. She sat grim-faced, working her mouth in odd ways as always, trying to
distract from the content of the speech by shuffling papers to make the point that she was not listening. She was
purposefully rude. Her behavior should be mortifying to her colleagues but they all behaved in like manner. [...] When
the president's speech was over, Pelosi furiously ripped up her copy of it on camera. Is there a better, more telling
act of her anger and disrespect for the office of the presidency? She is a harridan, a blight upon her city, her party
and the country.
Nancy
Pelosi throws a public temper tantrum and other Democrat misbehavior. Two different events played out on the
floor of the House on Tuesday night. The first was President Trump's powerful, moving, uplifting, and optimistic State
of the Union speech. The second was the immature, arrogant, intemperate, and really disgusting temper tantrum in which
Democrats indulged. The most obvious sign of a complete mental breakdown on the left was Nancy Pelosi's conduct during
the speech. Her petulant behavior could not be missed because she was seated behind the president, to his left.
Whenever the camera was on Trump, it was on Pelosi too. Pelosi's hissy fit first showed itself when Pelosi refused to
give Trump the traditional formal introduction. [...] Things went downhill from there.
White
House lambastes Pelosi for ripping speech. No sooner did Trump finish his address Tuesday night than [House
Speaker Nancy] Pelosi tore it in two, right on the dais behind him. The president had appeared to snub the House
speaker before his speech when she extended her hand to him, and he turned back around without acknowledging it. Tim
Murtaugh, the communications director for Trump's reelection team, responded: "She might as well rip up any plans for
attracting independent voters. Pelosi and the Democrats sat on their hands through all of the good news for Americans
in that speech. It's a sad place to be when good news for America is bad news for Democrats."
Pelosi
Violates Protocol By Refusing To Announce Trump Properly at SOTU; Rips Up Speech. On Tuesday, House Speaker
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) broke tradition when she refused to announce President Donald Trump properly before the State
of the Union address. [...] As noted by The Daily Wire on Tuesday, the SOTU address was boycotted by eight House Democrats.
Nancy
Pelosi can rip up Trump's State of the Union address, but she can't change his accomplishments. As President
Trump concluded his State of the Union address and the cameras began to shift to the congressional audience, a shot of House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up the physical copy of Trump's speech drew attention. This moment, though brief, showed
how tensions between the president and the Democratic Party are at an all-time high. Trump spent the early minutes of
his address praising his own administration's accomplishments, both economic and cultural, and sharply contrasting them with
the failures of the Obama administration. He didn't mention impeachment, acting almost as if it didn't
exist — or like it just didn't matter. Pelosi would have had a hard time with her base had she failed to
contradict Trump somehow. And so, in order to show how she rejected what he had said, she tore up the speech. She
knew she'd been beat. Impeachment failed. The Democratic Party is eating itself over Iowa's caucus
divisions. Trump's approval is at an all-time high.
Pelosi
rips up Trump speech at conclusion of State of the Union. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday ripped up
her copy of President Trump's prepared remarks at the conclusion of his State of the Union address. As Trump finished
speaking and most lawmakers stood to applaud, Pelosi stood, took the printed copy of Trump's speech and tore it in
half. She placed the shredded copy in a stack on the dais as Trump made his way to greet members of Congress.
Trump
Won't Shake Nancy Pelosi's Hand at State of the Union. President Donald Trump snubbed House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's (D-CA) attempt to shake hands before delivering Tuesday evening's State of the Union address. The moment
occurred after President Trump walked onto the dais and handed a binder with his speech to Vice President Mike Pence and
Pelosi. Upon receiving the binder, the speaker extended her arm to shake the president's hand, but he turned away to
face attendees instead.
Nancy
Pelosi Snubs President Trump with Shortened SOTU Introduction. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) snubbed
President Trump at the start of the State of the Union (SOTU) address by giving him a shortened introduction, reflecting a
cold sentiment she carried all the way to the conclusion of the speech, which she promptly ripped up.
State
of the Union address: Pelosi guest, a father of Parkland shooting victim, booted. A protester and father
of a Parkland shooting victim was booted from President Trump's State of the Union address after shouting from the gallery
about gun control. The man, Fred Guttenberg, made the brief interruption after Trump vowed to "always protect your
Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms." He was there as a guest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who turned to the
gallery with a stern look after the disruption and muttered something under her breath.
Nancy
Pelosi Discreetly Gives a Warning to Democrats About Supporting Bernie Sanders. Now that the impeachment drama
is mostly behind them the nation's leading Democrats have to start focusing on the election in just 9 months. As the
top elected Democrat in the nation, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would not only like to keep but add to her coalition in the
House of Representatives but maybe get lucky and get her political bunkmate Chuck Schumer the Senate Majority Leader's
gig. So she is giving a warning about supporting out loud the pie-in-the-sky ideas of candidates like Bernie Sanders.
Pelosi
Questions Why The President's Lawyers Are Not Disbarred. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Cal.) made an extraordinary
statement yesterday that suggests that lawyers representing President Donald Trump should be disbarred: "I don't know
how they can retain their lawyer status, in the comments that they're making." Just as I have been highly critical of
President Donald Trump's attacks on Adam Schiff and others, this is a truly outrageous suggestion. These lawyers are
performing a key function in our constitutional system in not just representing an accused person but fulfilling a vital role
in an impeachment trial. Because Pelosi disagrees with their legal arguments, she insinuates that they should not be
licensed attorneys. It is precisely the type of ad hominem attack that Democrats criticize with the President.
Pelosi added that Trump "will not be acquitted" even if he is acquitted — entirely decoupling the Democratic
position from either constitutional or ethical norms.
Impeachment
Proves Nancy Pelosi Is an Idiot. [Scroll down] But even with my low opinion of her, never in my wildest
dreams could I have imagined she would botch this impeachment as badly as she did. [...] In the House, Pelosi has total
control over the process. She runs the House of Representatives, and as Speaker, she has even more power than the
Senate Majority Leader. Why rush things? Why the hurry to give up a process you have total control over? [...]
Out of one side of this ditzy dame's mouth, we were told impeachment must be rushed in order to save the country. Then,
in the same breath, she holds up impeachment a full month.
The
Democrats May Have Lost, but They're Still Smarter than You. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, clearly vexed by the dud of
her party's impeachment effort, took the podium at her news conference and squealed, "He will not be acquitted. You
cannot be acquitted if you don't have a trial. You don't have a trial if you don't have witnesses and documentation and
all of that. Does the president know right from wrong? I don't think so." "I don't know how [the Trump
lawyers] can retain their lawyer status, in the comments that they're making," Pelosi told reporters, according to The
Hill. "I don't think they made the case. I think they disgraced themselves terribly in terms of their violation
of what our Constitution is about and what a president's behavior should be."
Nancy
Pelosi Attacks Trump's Lawyers, Suggests They Should Be Disbarred. Speaker Nancy Pelosi railed against
President Donald Trump's legal team on Thursday [1/30/2020], asking "how they can retain their lawyer status." [...] Despite
indications that acquittal is virtually certain at this point, Pelosi has also declared that any Senate vote to acquit the
president would be invalid unless new witnesses were called to testify. "He will not be acquitted. You cannot be
acquitted if you don't have a trial; and you don't have a trial if you don't have witnesses and documentation," she claimed.
Impeach
Pelosi/Schiff/Nadler for Abuse of Power. For three years, Democrats accused the president of having stolen the
2016 election. Now, they maintain, he is trying to steal the 2020 election. In reality, it was Hillary and
members of the Obama administration (and probably Obama himself) who tried to steal the 2016 election and it is Pelosi,
Schiff, and Nadler who are trying to steal 2020. Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler are using the power of their offices to
erase the 2016 election, steal the 2020 Presidential Election, and damage Republican senators in purple states enough to flip
the upper chamber to Democratic Party control. Running on the issues against the successful Trump administration does
not appeal to them. Instead, they are using impeachment as the means to rig the election to get control of the
presidency and the Senate.
Asleep at
the Wheel. Nancy Pelosi is a smart woman, or so we've been told. Shrewd, calculating, and ruthless are
words also used to describe the current Speaker of the House. But for those of us paying attention, it's become
apparent she's asleep at wheel. Consumed by the impeachment scam, hoping to damage the Trump brand beyond all repair;
since beating him at the ballot box in November will be a near to impossible task, Pelosi is either ignoring the chaos
brewing in her own party or she simply doesn't care.
Pelosi's
Watergate-era impeachment counsel — disbarred but happy to offer advice. If you were wondering why
Nancy Pelosi's impeachment strategy feels like political malpractice, we now can understand why: she's heeding advice from
Watergate-era convicted criminal John Dean. In a fawning cover story, a Pelosi aide revealed to Time magazine that the
speaker credits former the Nixon White House counsel with the idea of delaying transmission of the impeachment articles to
the Senate. Typically, attorney advice is offered behind closed doors, but Pelosi jumped on this after she heard Dean
discussing the idea during an appearance on CNN. Dean's a strange choice. His life has been built on lies and
misinformation, yet he's always a welcome guest to mainstream media outlets in need of someone to shout "Worse than
Watergate" about any Republican scandal.
Pelosi's Brother-In-Law's Company
Received $737,000,000 From Obama's Energy Department. Even as government financed "green energy" pioneer
Solyndra was failing, the Obama administration approved an additional $1 Billion in loans to similar green energy
projects. A whopping 737 million of that money went to the Crescent Dunes project situated in Tonopah, Nevada,
to finance a 110-megawatt desert solar power plant. Stay with me. Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law' company was a
primary beneficiary of that money landing a $737 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy for Crescent
Dunes. Funny that as Democrats scream that Saudi's renting out an entire floor of a Trump hotel is an untenable emolument.
McConnell's
brilliant statement on Nancy's "golden pens on silver platters". The signing of the Articles of Impeachment
took place on a table with a political slogan on it, Mitch McConnell noted today on the floor of the Senate. The Senate
Majority Leader said that Speaker Pelosi gave out souvenirs, "golden pens on silver platters," as he painted a picture of a
garish atmosphere. The Speaker claimed for weeks that impeachment was a most serious and somber affair. She was
very prayerful, according to her. McConnell called her on her hypocrisy. "Nothing says seriousness and sobriety
like handing out souvenirs," McConnell said of the partisan process.
CNN:
Why Oh Why Was Pelosi Handing Out Souvenir Impeachment Pens With A Grin? "Nothing says seriousness and
sobriety," Mitch McConnell quipped, "like handing out souvenirs as though this were a happy bill signing instead of the
gravest process in our Constitution." In this case, however, the Senate Majority Leader wasn't alone in pointing out the
celebratory nature of Nancy Pelosi's supposed "solemn" moment. Fox News captures the moments where the House Speaker
makes sure all her colleagues get their Officially Licensed Impeachment Engrossment Pens, smiling for the cameras the whole
time: [Video clip]
Now
that Pelosi has impeached Trump, she will become his stooge. The more Nancy Pelosi tries to get people to take
her seriously, the more ridiculous she is. During the impeachment vote, it was, "Everyone will take us seriously if we
all just wear black." For an entire month after that, it was, "Everyone will take us seriously if we withhold the
articles of impeachment from the Senate." This week, it was, "Everyone will take us seriously if we have a solemn procession
across the floor of the Capitol." No? Not that? How about fancy ceremonial pens? Would that make anyone
take them seriously? Any takers? Nancy stopped just short of ordering commemorative plates from the Franklin Mint
to see if that might convince America we're in a Very Serious Crisis. Pelosi lost this fight before it even started
because there was never any chance Trump would be removed from office by the Senate. That became clear way back in
October.
Trump
impeachment will bring Pelosi and House Democrats condemnation by history. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., seemed giddy Wednesday as she announced the impeachment managers who would go to the Senate and attempt to
prosecute a case against President Trump. "He's been impeached forever," Pelosi said. "They can never erase
that." However, Pelosi has it exactly backward. The Senate is going to refuse to convict President Trump.
He will be exonerated, and she and the Democrats will be condemned by history.
Pelosi's
And Putin's Remarkably Similar Abuses Of Power. Jan. 15, 2020, a date which will live in infamy on two continents.
How oddly coincidental that the world witnessed massive abuses of constitutional power in both the United States and Russia on the same day.
In Moscow, Russian ruler Vladimir Putin suddenly unveiled changes to the Russian constitution that will for all practical purposes render his
unrestrained rule permanent. [...] Like Putin, Pelosi has timed her move for purposes of aggrandizing power, waiting until mid-January to
let the Senate begin its trial — after insisting last year that the impeachment inquiry and subsequent House floor vote
had to be hurried to take place before Christmas.
Fake vs. real
history. Wednesday's [1/15/2020] impeachment display was truly one for the fake history books. Defying
the narrative of a somber undertaking, cheery pink suit and all, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi barely suppressed, along with her
colleagues, a demeanor of self-satisfaction and sheer delight worthy of the Academy Award. Of course, instead of the
Oscar, there was the "Nancy," a gold pen emblazoned with her name, given to the greatest political performers who act as if
they have the best interests of the United States at heart. Her remarks compared the false, underhanded impeachment
proceedings to notable and historic events of our nation's past. Her zany ramblings belied the fact that this
impeachment is not a result of an actual crime, but is in truth a nasty bipartisan assault on a political rival and our
constitution. Pelosi and the left push their fake history and equate their dirty dealings with heavy weighted
historical occurrences of days gone by.
Pelosi
hands out souvenir pens, Dems slammed for gloating as House delivers Trump impeachment articles. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi drew criticism Wednesday for handing out commemorative pens — with her name on them —
after signing a resolution to transmit two articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate for trial. To
critics, the tone of the event seemed celebratory — a far cry from December, when Pelosi wore black and insisted
on the House floor it was a "solemn" day before the Democrat-controlled body voted to impeach the president on abuse of power
and obstruction of Congress allegations. Later, she even cut short two rounds of cheers from Democrats when the
articles were adopted.
Nancy
Pelosi's Impeachment Pens Look Like Bullets. Not only did Nancy Pelosi have commemorative (totally sober)
impeachment pens made and carried in on silver trays for her to sign (one interminably long letter at a time while smiling
like prom queen), but the pens look like a high-caliber rifle bullets. Think that was accidental?
Jonathan Turley:
Pelosi 'played into' McConnell's hands, 'destroyed' her own case for impeachment. Constitutional law professor
Jonathan Turley laid out a sweeping indictment of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., arguing that her impeachment strategy
backfired and gave Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the upper hand. "The delay now seems largely driven
by a desire to preserve the image of Pelosi as a master strategist despite a blunder of the first order," Turley wrote in a
column titled, "Pelosi's Blunder: How the House Destroyed its Own Case for Impeachment."
Nancy
Pelosi Uses More than a Dozen Commemorative Pens to Sign 'Sad' Articles of Impeachment. Speaker of the House
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared herself "sad" as she used more than a dozen commemorative pens to sign the two articles of
impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening [1/15/2020]. The occasion was "so sad, so tragic for our
country," Pelosi told reporters, noting the "difficult time in our country's history." She then approached a table that had
been prepared with the documents, and two dishes full of pens for her to use — about half a dozen pens in each.
The
Granny Wine Box Traveling Impeachment Circus Heads to the Senate. [Scroll down] The president didn't
cross a line. In fact, the Democrats couldn't even impeach him on all the things they'd been promising to make stick
for months. Rather, Pelosi was pushed over a line she never wanted to cross, forced primarily by the unruly young 'uns
in her party who she couldn't control. She may be flailing at the moment, but Pelosi used to be one of the shrewdest
politicians in American history. She knew that once the Democrats committed to going down the road to impeachment their
odds of arriving at President Trump's re-election greatly increased.
Pelosi's
Blunder: How The House Destroyed Its Own Case For Impeachment. [Scroll down] The fact is that
Pelosi played into the hands of McConnell by first rushing this impeachment forward with an incomplete record and now giving
him the excuse to summarily change the rules, or even to dismiss the articles. Waiting for the House to submit a list
of managers was always a courtesy extended by Senate rules and not a requirement of the Constitution. By inappropriately
withholding the articles of impeachment and breaking with tradition, Pelosi simply gave McConnell ample reason to exercise the
"nuclear option" and change the rules on both majority voting as well as the rule for the start of trials. That is a
high price to pay for vanity.
The Pelosi Legacy:
A Barking Dog with No Teeth. Dogs don't bark because they're brave, they bark because they're scared. The
same can be said for the current House Speaker. Afraid of a revolt among the even more left wing of her party, afraid
of a president her party looks increasingly unlikely to defeat in November, afraid of domestic and international American
success via an approach that does not comport with her more liberal views and achieved without her consent, Speaker Pelosi
has entered the twilight of her political career barking at all she fears. Enacting symbolic measures, absent any
import, launching an impeachment, replete with hyperbole and hyper-gesticulation, yet devoid of any impeachable
offense. In doing so she has both exposed and cemented her legacy, that of a barking dog with no teeth.
Nancy
Pelosi called 'petty and un-American' for upstaging Trump's historic China trade deal. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi is under fire for a "deliberate" attempt to "upstage" President Trump as he signed "Phase One" of a long-awaited trade
deal with China. Pelosi chose to announce the impeachment managers for Trump's upcoming Senate trial at a press
conference at the Capitol on Wednesday, just before the president signed the "historic" US-China trade deal at a ceremony
with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He.
Nancy Pelosi
Is Doing Putin's Bidding. Imagine for a moment what would happen if top Republicans started alleging that Chuck
Schumer was working at the behest of a foreign power — that he was a tool of Communist China. Would any
Republican be able to appear on-air without being asked about such allegations? They would have to confront them, and
be asked whether they supported or disassociated themselves from the obviously controversial remarks. But when Nancy
Pelosi appeared on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday — being interviewed by former Democratic PR expert George
Stephanopoulus, who is somehow only the second most biased Sunday host, unable to scale the heights of utter hackery achieved
by NBC's Chuck Todd — there wasn't a single followup question asked of her about the bombshell allegations she
advanced concerning Mitch McConnell. [...] Alleging that your political opponents, one of the two major parties in America,
including the Minority Leader of the House, the Majority Leader of the Senate, and the President of the United States are
wholly owned assets of a foreign power is the height of irresponsibility.
The
Cult Of Pelosi Is A Deadly Thing For Democrats' Future. There are many cults in Washington, D.C. [...] But
today, the city has another faith working reporters into a fervor, and her name is Nancy Pelosi. Reporters have called
her "basically invincible," a "political grandmaster," an "icon of female power," a "rockstar" and, time and time again, "a
fashion icon." Reporters have venerated "her clothes, her hand gestures, her facial expression" and placed a halo 'round her
head. Activists projected her image on San Francisco's city hall and a D.C. restaurant dedicated a Christmas tree in
her honor. "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is doing to President Donald Trump what no one else has in the nearly three
years since he took office: She's making him squirm." Business Insider pronounced two days after Christmas.
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has managed to accomplish what no one else has even tried in the past three years: sticking it
right back to Trump," RawStory echoed the same day in an article that includes "squirm" in its headline.
The Pelosi Stillborn Impeachment.
As Nancy Pelosi lost her standoff with Mitch McConnell, bowing to the collapse of support even within her own Democrat
caucus, she finally bit the bullet and conceded that she would have to submit her impeachment articles without having won a
single face-saving concession from her Senate opponents after a fortnight of dangling the articles in her hallucination that
she was dangling candy before a child or water before a soul desperately thirsting for it in the desert. No one really
gave a hoot. Yes, we commentators commented. Cable television consumed hours daily debating it. But it did
not matter a whit. [...] It had no life. The Constitution explicitly states that the only grounds for impeachment are
bribery, treason, high crimes, or misdemeanors in the way the term was understood in 18th-century England. Even if the
president had abused power, well — all presidents abuse power. That is what executives do.
McConnell
Excoriates Pelosi Days Before Impeachment Trial Begins. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
excoriated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from the senate floor asserting that she finally ended her "one-woman blockade."
"This strange gambit has achieved absolutely nothing," McConnell said of Pelosi's threats and delay tactics. The Senate
"was never going to allow the Speaker to dictate" how to handle a trial. "The Senate will not be sucked into this
precedent-breaking path," McConnell said touting the separation of powers between the two chambers of congress. [Video clip]
Pelosi
falsely claims court fight for Ukraine impeachment witnesses. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democrats are
fighting to force impeachment witnesses who defied congressional subpoenas related to Ukraine to testify, but so far, no
court cases against the four key figures exist. Pelosi made the misleading claim in an ABC interview Sunday [1/13/2020]
in response to comments about Republican critics saying House Democrats could've done more to exhaust their alternatives when
Trump officials refused to show up to testify at the behest of the president, [...] "That isn't even true," Pelosi
said. "We are in court on the witnesses. It could take a very long time." But no Ukraine controversy figures,
including none of the four impeachment trial witnesses requested by Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer [...]
have been brought to court by Democrats to enforce the subpoenas they ignored, and Bolton was never subpoenaed at all.
Pelosi unhinged.
In the tweet below Dan Bongino concisely disposes of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's unhinged take on the ongoing impeachment
saga (embedded video). Those of us who avoid the Sunday morning gabfests missed this revealing glimpse into the mind of the
Dems' strategic genius and legislative mastermind. The video clip below puts me in mind of a variation of George Wallaces's
infamous vow of "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." In Pelosi's case, it would be "impeachment
now, impeachment tomorrow, impeachment forever."
Pelosi:
No Matter What Happens in the Senate, Trump Will Be 'Impeached Forever'. No matter what the U.S. Senate does,
President Donald Trump will be "impeached forever," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told ABC's This Week. "Let's be
optimistic about the future, a future that will not have Donald Trump in the White House one way or another," Pelosi told
host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. "Ten months we will have an election if we don't have him removed sooner.
But, again, he'll be impeached forever."
What
Was It For? It is easy to underestimate speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, because she speaks an obscure
dialect of High Gibberish and frequently seems to be confused in public — not that any of that is stopping Joe
Biden from leading the Democratic primary field. Pelosi is clever enough, but lacks the courage that in politics comes
from genuine conviction, which she also lacks, and that makes her easy to bully. The zany-left caucus in the
House — the left-of-San Francisco caucus — pushed Pelosi to ignore her own better judgment in order to
give the Democrats one of those "moral victories" they keep proclaiming as Republicans claim electoral ones. Which is
to say, impeachment will be this year's Beto O'Rourke vs. Ted Cruz.
Pelosi
Is Realizing Impeachment Was a Mistake. America is the midst of an imaginary impeachment standoff between House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. "Both have drawn firm lines in the sand.
Someone's got to give," one reporter recently declared. There is, of course, nothing to "give." Pelosi has no
standing to dictate the terms of a Senate trial; no constitutional right or political leverage. Why she has put herself
in a position that will ultimately end, one way or another, with her surrendering to McConnell is perplexing. A new
piece in Time magazine does shed some light on the thought process behind Pelosi's decision to refuse to hand over articles
of impeachment to a Senate whose majority doesn't want them.
Is
Pelosi Timing the Impeachment Articles' Release so as to Damage Bernie? The conventional wisdom regarding Nancy
Pelosi's holding of the impeachment articles is that, as someone put it, she'd pulled the pin on the grenade and then didn't
know what to do. Yet even if she has bumbled into her current predicament, which seems likely, is there now some method
to her madness? Has she found a way to turn lemons into at least a thimble of lemonade by using the situation to damage
the presidential candidate she doesn't want to see capture the Democratic nomination — burgeoning Bernie
Sanders — and help the establishment choice, Joe Biden?
Here's
Just How Dumb Nancy Pelosi's Gambit of Roadblocking Impeachment Was. Sometimes real life mirrors parody, and in
the case of Nancy Pelosi's gambit of refusing to hand over the articles of impeachment she pushed to pass, it certainly
does. In fact, while many of us had been under the impression that Pelosi had gotten the idea from Lawrence Tribe, a
deranged Twitter Harvard professor who spouted off about not giving the articles to the Senate early on, where she really got
the idea from is even more laughable. Apparently, Pelosi decided to blow up her own charade after watching a felon on CNN.
Why
did Pelosi hold up the impeachment articles? Nancy Pelosi finally gave up her futile attempt to use the threat
of not sending impeachment articles to the Senate as a means of forcing Mitch McConnell to give her a say in how the Senate
will conduct the trial. Since McConnell isn't exactly dying to hold a trial of President Trump, Pelosi's gambit wasn't
just empty, it was ridiculous. She comes off looking silly. Why did Pelosi make such a dumb play? I suspect
she deluded herself into thinking it might work because, being obsessively power hungry, she failed to distinguish between
her actual power and the power she covets. Pelosi has never been popularly elected to any office more significant than
representative of a congressional district entirely within the friendly (for her) confines of San Francisco. Nor has
she ever served in the U.S. executive branch. Yet, as I argued here, she behaves as if she's the shadow Secretary of State.
Nancy
Pelosi gives bizarre, inappropriate press conference after plane crash. In Washington, House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi — third in line to the presidency — strode to the podium to address reporters on these issues of
death, war and terror amid her effort to remove President Trump from office. [...] "Today's a happy day for us," she said in
a grating halt to the solemnity of the moment. Almost in sing-song, she explained, "We are going to celebrate the
wedding of Barbara Lee!" It was jarring. Barbara Lee is one of her House lieutenants, but what her wedding had to
do with any of the serious and pressing global matters at hand today was anybody's guess. Mrs. Pelosi stammered
and stared around, apparently confused about when the wedding was, where the celebration would be or why any of it was
relevant in this grave moment. She felt the urge to explain. "I convey that to you because it is a source of joy
to us, as she is a source of joy." Silence was the only response from those gathered in the room with pen and pad
looking on. [...] This is a woman who should be carted off to the insane asylum, and not be leading Congress.
Trump
calls on all Republicans to oppose 'Crazy Nancy Pelosi's' War Powers Resolution. President Trump called on
fellow Republicans to oppose a resolution meant to place restrictions on his ability to take military action without
congressional approval, as the House prepares to vote on the measure late Thursday [1/9/2020]. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi announced the planned vote in a one-page statement that said last week's U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian
Gen. Qassem Soleimani was "provocative and disproportionate," despite Trump administration claims to the contrary.
Many Democrats were also incensed that the administration did not notify Congress in advance.
Nancy Pelosi's
pointless war-powers ploy. Speaker Nancy Pelosi just pushed through a bill aiming to limit President Trump's
ability to hit Iran, even though the crisis is over. Why? Thursday's [1/9/2020] House passage of her war-powers
resolution is almost certainly pure symbolism: Nothing like this is going to pass the Senate, and even if it did its
constitutional status would be dubious. And events, including the president's actions, have shown that the fears that
inspired the bill are unfounded.
Washington
Post: A Republican altered a photo of Nancy Pelosi!. [Scroll down] I guess the Post reporter wasn't
aware of all these altered images on Pelosi's own account when she wrote a story about a GOP Rep. altering a photo of
Pelosi. In fact, Pelosi has a much higher profile and nearly twice as many followers as Stefanik on Twitter, so why
didn't the Post notice?
Pelosi
Will Either Cave or get Rolled by McConnell — the Choice is Hers. Hardball politics in the nation's
capital — or anywhere else, for that matter — is all about leverage, and when you have none, you are
destined to lose. Pelosi is destined to lose in her idiotic impeachment scam, and today she appeared to finally, if
reluctantly, acknowledge her reality.
Pelosi
on 'Urgent' Impeachment Articles: 'I'll Send Them Over' to Senate 'When I'm Ready'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA), during her weekly press conference Thursday, said she is not holding back the two articles of impeachment approved
against Donald Trump last month "indefinitely." A reporter asked the Speaker," Are you holding the articles indefinitely?"
"No. I'm not holding them indefinitely. I'll send them over when I'm ready. That will probably be soon," she replied.
Pelosi's
Urgency of Impeachment at a Snail Pace. Nancy Pelosi's delay in sending the articles of impeachment to the
Senate undermines the implied urgency of the issue. Senate Democrats are getting impatient with the delay. Like
most Americans, they want to get the process started. Nancy isn't getting her way. She wants a guarantee that
witnesses will be called to testify in the Senate hearing. Senate Republicans aren't preventing witnesses, but using
the same guideline as the most recent impeachment trial of President Clinton. The video of a discussion between Mitch
McConnell's and Nancy Pelosi's former Chiefs of Staff highlights the process and party strategy behind her delay.
Rep.
Bradley Byrne Moves to Censure Pelosi for Holding Up Impeachment. Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL) will introduce
a resolution on Thursday to censure House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for obstructing the impeachment proceedings against
President Donald Trump, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. Byrne, who is vying for the Republican nomination for
U.S. Senate this year from his native Alabama, believes the speaker has broken congressional precedence by refusing to send
the articles of impeachment to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Pelosi Likens Eliminating Soleimani to Assassinating the U.S. Vice President. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
on Thursday defended her opposition to the elimination of Iran's top general and terrorist mastermind Qasem Soleimani by
likening the action to a hypothetical assassination of the vice president of the United States. The speaker expressed
outrage upon the death of Soleimani, describing the Trump administration's actions as "provocative and disproportionate."
Rep.
Adam Smith of Bellevue backtracks after split with Nancy Pelosi on impeachment strategy. U.S. Rep. Adam
Smith caused a brief ruckus Thursday morning [1/9/2020] when he publicly broke with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her delay
in sending articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate. But within hours, Smith, D-Bellevue,
fell back in line, saying he "misspoke." Smith's bad morning began with a CNN interview in which he said "it is time" to
send the articles "and let Mitch McConnell be responsible for the fairness of the trial." While he said it had been
"perfectly advisable" for Pelosi to try to leverage a fair Senate trial that "would show evidence and bring out witnesses,"
he concluded "at this point, it doesn't look like that's going to happen."
Nancy
Pelosi Dodged Mike Pence Phone Call Notifying Her of Iranian Missile Attack: 'Tell Him I'll Call Him Back'.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to immediately take a phone call from Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday evening
notifying her that Iran had launched missile attacks against at least two U.S. military bases in Iraq. "Tell him I'll
call him back," Pelosi said to an aide who handed her a note that the vice president was calling her during a meeting, opting
to not immediately take the phone call as U.S. bases in Iraq were under attack and instead call the vice president back.
Liz
Cheney calls Nancy Pelosi an embarrassment after Speaker spotted at party following missile attack. U.S.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi an "embarrassment" Tuesday evening [1/7/2020] after Pelosi
reportedly attended a Washington restaurant opening following Iran's missile fire against U.S. troops in Iraq. "Speaker
Pelosi is an embarrassment and unfit for office," Cheney wrote as she retweeted a photo posted online purportedly showing the
speaker at the restaurant in Washington's Navy Yard neighborhood. "Closely monitoring the situation following bombings
targeting U.S. troops in Iraq," Pelosi had tweeted earlier, before she was photographed at Danny Meyer's Maialino Mare
restaurant.
The
Dems' Impeachment Losing Streak Continues. Has any political ploy failed as spectacularly as House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's decision to delay sending the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump over to the Senate.
Even Democrats are now telling her the jig is up. Pelosi had hoped to use the delay as leverage to get the Senate
to agree to the Democrats' demand for witnesses at the trial. It was a foolhardy plan that, had the leadership not been in
the grip of Trump Derangement Syndrome, it never would have attempted.
Borderline
Treason: Democrats continue to betray their country. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is readying her
Democrat-controlled House of Representatives to vote this week on legislation to tie President Trump's hands in dealing with
the blood-thirsty Iranian regime. Speaker Pelosi is peeved that she and her Democrat congressional colleagues were not
consulted first before President Trump ordered the killing of Iranian terrorist mastermind Qasem Soleimani late last week.
Too bad. She should run for president if she wants to become the commander-in-chief. In any case, she is a hypocrite.
Feinstein
Fed Up with Pelosi Delay Tactics — Demands She Send Articles of Impeachment to Senate. Senator
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is demanding Nancy Pelosi deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate, but the Speaker is
digging in her heels and won't let go. Fox News reported that Pelosi told colleagues in a letter that she will not give
the articles of impeachment to the Senate unless McConnell 'immediately publishes' his resolution and accused the Senate
Majority Leader of making "misleading claims" about the Clinton impeachment to justify his strategy.
Napolitano:
Some Democrats' patience is 'wearing thin' with Pelosi's impeachment delay. Some Democrats are getting fed up
with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withholding articles of impeachment from the Senate, and want to "move on" to a trial, Judge
Andrew Napolitano said Thursday [1/9/2020]. [...] "I think patience is wearing thin even from some Democrats. Sen. Dianne
Feinstein comes to mind. I think somebody is going to start saying to Mrs. Pelosi: 'Let's move on with this,'" he
said. "The longer it goes on, the less urgent it becomes. So if it's serious and urgent, send them over. If
it isn't, don't send it over," Feinstein told Politico. McConnell said Tuesday he has the votes to start an impeachment
trial even without an agreement on potential witnesses — once the chamber receives the articles from the House.
Senate
Democrats break with Pelosi, want articles of impeachment. Senate Democrats are breaking with their party
leaders over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to hold on to the articles of impeachment, saying it is time to get
President Trump's trial rolling. The grumbling in the ranks puts pressure on Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer,
New York Democrat, who has stood by Mrs. Pelosi's decision to withhold charges against the president in an attempt to get
Senate Republicans to guarantee witnesses will be called during the trial. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell used the crack
in the ranks Wednesday [1/8/2020] to call on Mr. Schumer to break Mrs. Pelosi's impasse.
Dianne
Feinstein tells Pelosi to end delay over articles of impeachment. Since House Democrats approved two articles
of impeachment three weeks ago, Pelosi, 79, coordinating with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, has been
sitting on the documents in a bid to pressure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to agree to more favorable
terms for the trial. But Senate Democrats are beginning to lose their patience with Pelosi's maneuver. The
intervention of Feinstein, 86, saying bluntly that the time had come for Pelosi to transmit the impeachment articles to the
Senate makes it highly likely that her fellow Californian will do so.
Nancy Pelosi's Delusions
of Grandeur. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly portrayed President Trump as an existential threat to
the republic. As she put it when announcing the House impeachment inquiry, "The actions taken to date by the president
have seriously violated the Constitution." She later justified her mad rush to hold an impeachment vote in December by
claiming it was necessary "to defend democracy." In reality, by presiding over the hyper-partisan passage of two inscrutable
articles of impeachment and holding them hostage until the Senate allows her to dictate how it will conduct the president's
trial, Pelosi has revealed that she is the genuine menace to our unique system of government.
Nancy
Pelosi Dodged Mike Pence Phone Call Notifying Her of Iranian Missile Attack: 'Tell Him I'll Call Him Back'.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to immediately take a phone call from Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday evening
notifying her that Iran had launched missile attacks against at least two U.S. military bases in Iraq. "Tell him I'll
call him back," Pelosi said to an aide who handed her a note that the vice president was calling her during a meeting, opting
to not immediately take the phone call as U.S. bases in Iraq were under attack and instead call the vice president back.
Pelosi's
impeachment tactics are pursuit of power for its own sake. When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
re-assumed her position of power, her daughter Alexandra affectionately said of her mother: "She'll cut your head off
and you won't even know you're bleeding." That can literally happen in some third-world "democracies." America's rule-of-law
culture, however, requires that political assassinations be bloodless. Media-driven criminal investigations and
character assassinations are the weapons of choice. Both have failed to take down President Trump. However
reluctantly, Pelosi has acquiesced to the third-world instincts of her socialist-trending party. A master of tactics,
but not strategy, Pelosi undoubtedly has been war-gaming different scenarios.
Graham
gives Pelosi ultimatum, proposes Senate rule change to remove her from impeachment process. Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., insists that if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not deliver articles of impeachment against President Trump
to the Senate by the end of the week, the Senate should "take matters in our own hands." Graham accused Pelosi of
playing political games and trying to exert control over the Senate trial by keeping it from starting. Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., recognized Friday on the Senate floor the chamber's rules prevented him from doing anything
until Pelosi does her part, but Graham proposed a solution that could remove what McConnell has called an "impasse" in the process.
Whose side is she on? Pelosi
Condemns Trump's 'Provocative and Disproportionate' Airstrike Killing Top Iranian Commander. House Speaker
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) condemned Thursday's U.S. airstrike killing top Iranian military leaders, calling it a
dangerous, disproportionate response by President Donald Trump to this week's attacks on a U.S. embassy in Baghdad,
Iraq. The targeted airstrike killed powerful Iranian military commanders the Pentagon says were responsible for the
deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members, and were plotting more attacks, [...]
Pelosi
Stands Up For Brutal Terrorist, Scolds Trump For 'Disproportionate' Hit On Soleimani. On Friday [1/3/2020],
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) took a stand for brutal terrorist and Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, scolding President
Donald Trump for taking a "disproportionate" hit on the terrorist. "American leaders' highest priority is to protect
American lives and interests," the Democrat leader posted via social media hours after the Soleimani-kill was confirmed.
"But we cannot put the lives of American servicemembers, diplomats and others further at risk by engaging in provocative and
disproportionate actions."
The Editor says...
Nancy Pelosi appears to be engaged in a coup to overthrow the President.
Nancy Pelosi hates to see President Trump succeed.
If I were in President Trump's position, I wouldn't tell Nancy Pelosi anything.
Shadow
Secretary of State Pelosi on the killing of Soleimani. Nancy Pelosi fancies herself a foreign policy expert who
not only must be consulted by the president's foreign policy team, but who can set or manipulate American foreign policy.
[...] If the killing of Soleimani was "disproportionate," that's only because Iran's terrorist in chief is responsible for
the death of hundreds of Americans. Unfortunately, we can only kill Soleimani once. Moreover, American
intelligence indicated that Soleimani was planning new attacks that would have killed more Americans. If so, then it
wasn't "disproportionate" to kill him and his associates for that reason, as well. I think the administration may be
too optimistic about the extent to which taking out Soleimani will prevent future attacks. Presumably, he had deputies
who can step into his role effectively enough to cause serious trouble. However, it's not disproportionate to kill a
terrorist who is responsible for many American deaths and who is plotting many more.
Pelosi
says Trump carried out strike on Iranian commander without authorization and she wants details. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is calling on the Trump administration to immediately brief lawmakers on the U.S. airstrike that
killed a top Iranian commander in Iraq and what the White House plans to do next. The strike in Iraq was directed by
President Donald Trump and killed Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's secretive Quds Force, the Department of Defense
announced Thursday night [1/2/2020].
Is
Trump Impeachment Inquiry Nancy Pelosi's Retaliation For Being Left Fuming on the Tarmac? "Queen Pelosi wasn't
happy with the small USAFC-20B jet, Gulf Stream III that comes with the Speaker's job ... OH NO! Queen Pelosi was
aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat, 200-seat, USAF C-32, Boeing 757 jet that
could get her back to California without stopping! "Queen Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American tax
payers, literally thousands of gallons of fuel every week." The best thing President Trump ever did in 2019 was on
Jan. 17 when he grounded Pelosi's mid-Government Partial Shutdown planned flight to Afghanistan, Belgium and Egypt.
The
Left Goes Over the Edge. [Scroll down] They hammered through the vote all the same, constantly
accelerating, until... Until Nancy Pelosi, unable to look failure in the face, refused to turn the articles over to the
Senate on specious grounds — and did this at the beginning of the Christmas recess, when absolutely nothing
could be done to alter the situation. So for three weeks, there she is, hanging like Wile E. Coyote waiting for gravity
to take hold. She is now in the worst position a politician can envision: a situation in which all possible alternatives
mean even more public humiliation for herself and her party. She can either maintain her insistence on being the Red Queen
of American politics, or submit to the Senate and see her impeachment articles tossed aside. And it's all her doing.
So much for the "smartest woman in Washington."
Pelosi's
Game Of Chicken Will Leave Her Party Fried. After holding a vote to impeach President Donald Trump, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has decided to wait on sending the impeachment articles to the Senate. According to many in the
media, this brilliant bit of strategy gives her leverage to force Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to provide a fair
trial in the Senate. There's so many reasons this is wrong, but let's start with the most obvious: according to the
Democrats' own impeachment witness, Harvard law professor Noah Feldman, Trump isn't actually impeached until the articles are
sent to the Senate, and "an indefinite delay would pose a serious problem."
The
Most Irritating person of 2019 is... [Scroll down] Next in D.C., resembling Laurel and Hardy, we have

anything more than responding to strings pulled by Nancy Pelosi. As such Adam and Gerry are removed from further
consideration, only to be surpassed by megamillionairess: Nancy Pelosi. Certainly Congresswoman Pelosi's moments
in the spotlight were welcomed by her acolytes, while reviled by those possessing common sense, morals and respect for the
Constitution.

This structure has passed between a goodly number of entities — and yet, per the documents, no transfer taxes have
been paid. Pelosi said he has no equity in the building and never has. "It's not my business. I never got
paid. I never expected to get paid." And yet there he is, listed in 2015 as the Chief Financial Officer of Feng
RE, Inc., the entity that owned 1312 Utah. Can't make this up.
Rep.
Steve Scalise: 'It's No Longer Nancy Pelosi Calling the Shots'. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) joined former
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who was guest hosting "The Ingraham Angle" on Thursday night [12/26/2019], to discuss what
happened to change Pelosi's mind. Scalise said, "The AOC wing of the party changed and really started controlling her
caucus. And so, it's no longer Nancy Pelosi calling the shots — and you think about anybody who follows in
the things that she's been forced into doing, it's been mostly the far-left socialist wing of the party and it's not just Pelosi."
Trump
Exposes Nancy Pelosi and Son Paul's Shady Dealings in Ukraine. As The Gateway Pundit reported back in November
Quid-Pro-Joe and his son Hunter are not the only Democrat family members cashing in on their prominent positions. Like
many Democrats Paul Pelosi Jr. has made a career off of his mother's political stature. Shortly after his mother became
the first woman speaker, Paul Pelosi Jr., was hired by InfoUSA for $180,000 a year as its vice president for Strategic
Planning. Nancy Pelosi's son Paul is also on the board of an energy company. Paul Pelosi Jr. also traveled to
Ukraine for his work.
Nancy
Pelosi is Playing Political Games with the U.S. Constitution over Donald Trump's Impeachment. For all the work
that's gone into addressing the charges against President Donald Trump, it's hard to argue they rise to the level of
impeachable offenses. The charge of obstruction of Congress could just as easily be presented as a justifiable defense
of executive power for which ample precedent exists. The allegation he abused the power of his office is likewise
flawed. While U.S. policy toward Ukraine is legitimately a subject for congressional oversight it is hardly the stuff
of which previous presidents were threatened with removal from office.
Kimberley
Strassel nails it when she expertly dissects Pelosi's 'rolling impeachment' ploy. Wall Street Journal columnist
Kimberley Strassel hit the nail on the head in a piece on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's gamesmanship of not sending two
articles of impeachment against President Trump to the U.S. Senate. Given House Democrats' weak case and the inevitable
acquittal from the upper chamber, perhaps the San Francisco Democrat is doing all she can to avoid a trial. "Who says
Pelosi even wants a Senate trial? Strassel said in a tweet plugging her piece about the party's "rolling"
impeachment. "Far better for Democrats to keep impeachment rolling?"
Pelosi's Rolling
Impeachment. Republicans dismiss Speaker Nancy Pelosi's refusal to transmit the impeachment articles to the
Senate as a weak stunt. They do so at the peril of both the Constitution and President Trump. Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell may be a master tactician, but Mrs. Pelosi is no slouch. It's now been more than a week
since the House impeached Mr. Trump, and Mrs. Pelosi has yet to name impeachment managers or formally send over
the paperwork.
Pelosi's Ploy.
Some say there is an evil genius to Pelosi's withholding Articles of Impeachment from the Senate where they are certain to
face ignominious defeat. As long as she refuses to submit, [Pelosi] can claim Trump has been impeached without having
to acknowledge that her crimeless Articles are doomed to an unceremonious trouncing in a Republican-controlled Senate.
She is counting on an uninformed public, unaware that constitutionally, until she transmits the articles to the Senate, Trump
has not been impeached. A grand jury can decide for indictment but if the prosecutor chooses not to file the indictment
with the court, that person has not been indicted.
On
Pelosi's Impeachment Stunt and Destiny's Fork in the American Road. It is a strange time. Christians
watch Democrats — including Nancy "As a Catholic" Pelosi — make a sacrilege of "peace on earth and good
will to all" by infusing the nation with division and hate. [...] We Americans enter this Christmas and Chanukah season at a
fork in the road for America's destiny. In eleven months, either the whole enterprise of nearly 250 years may
go down the tubes, or we continue to have a fighting chance to save the United States of America.
Why
Democrats Will Never End The Impeachment Show Until Trump Is Gone For Good. [Scroll down] But even if
President Trump is "officially" impeached, it will not change the significance of Pelosi's stammering, indefensible
explanation for delay. It included the statement, "Frankly, I don't care what the Republicans say." Of course she
doesn't. This entire process has had absolutely nothing to do with upholding constitutional duties or about coming to a
bipartisan conclusion in support of impeachment, as Pelosi said was so important mere weeks ago. It was always about
putting on a political show for a rabidly partisan audience — and the show must go on. The current
Democrat talking point is that Pelosi is delaying to ensure there are fair procedures in place for a Senate trial.
That's a preposterous claim to make in the wake of a one-sided impeachment inquisition in which the Democrats restricted
their Republican colleagues' meaningful participation and declined to grant President Trump any due process in the name of
expedience, which is now apparently unimportant. That won't happen in the Senate, and Pelosi knows it.
Gowdy:
Pelosi Has No Constitutional Authority to Dictate the Rules of a Senate Impeachment Trial. Former prosecutor
and Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy is weighing in on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's continued refusal to turn over two
articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate for a trial. "If he [President Trump] really is an
existential threat the Republic, if he really has committed conduct that should result in his removal from office, then why
would you not send it onto the Senate? The Constitution gives the House no role in deciding how this trial takes
place. It is exclusively within the province of the Senate," Gowdy said during an interview with Fox News. "I
think most of my fellow citizens will see through this 'lets hurry up and impeach him' and then sit on the indictment."
Time for a Directed Verdict?
[Nancy Pelosi] now threatens to withhold the impeachment articles from the Senate until Mitch McConnell assures her of a
conviction. OK, that's not exactly the way she phrases it, but that's what she means.
Pelosi is
Trump's secret weapon. I doubt San Franciscans will vote her out. She represents well a city that is so
stupid it lets people poop in the street. But the American people tire of Democrats and their petty, snarling ways.
[...] In the end, Pelosi is merely a figurehead — old and stuttering as she tries to hang on to a speakership that
Democrats in all likelihood will relinquish in 2021.
Queen
Pelosi wants to rule the Senate and nation but voters will revolt. Queen Nancy Pelosi is not amused.
Having just demanded her subjects in the House impeach the president in a historic and unprecedented party-line vote,
jeopardizing the reelection of many and even threatening her own reign, Her Royal Highness, aka the House Speaker, grew testy
recently with inquisitive reporters. Pelosi scolded the pesky press for wanting to know why, for the first time in the
nation's history, she did not follow the accustomed path of handing the articles of impeachment over to the Senate for an
expected trial. Having to explain her bizarre decision was apparently beneath her; she cut off inquiries abruptly saying,
"Any other questions because I'm not going to answer any more questions on this... I'm not going to go there anymore."
Just
Let the Democrats Schiff Themselves. Military guys [...] try to abide by the apocryphal advice of Napoleon, who
counseled that you should never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake. But this doesn't apply to the
Democrats because they are not only too dumb to listen to your warnings but their weird dogma actually makes it impossible
for them to imagine that they are heading for disaster in 2020. [...] Nancy Pelosi, who is no dummy, knows. She gets
it. That's why she's not taking questions on her solemn, sad impeachment thing. She gets that she's trapped by
the Commie Caucus's resolute determination to please their blue enclaves at the expense of alienating everyone else. So
she's trying to make it fade away.
The Editor says...
The operation of the Senate is none of Ms. Pelosi's business.
Stammering,
Blabbering, Stuttering Pelosi Tries to Explain the Impeachment Delay. In a video that has gone viral, Nancy
Pelosi tries to explain why she has decided to delay the impeachment circus. The key part of that sentence is "tries
to." What comes out of her mouth makes no sense whatsoever. None. If you want to know why Nancy Pelosi is the
Speaker of the House, you only have to watch this video of a news conference she gave on Thursday. Such
eloquence! It's absolutely amazing to listen to her. [Video clip]
Ken
Starr thumps Nancy Pelosi for obstructing impeachment process, accuses her of abuse of power. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has thus far obstructed the impeachment process by delaying the transfer of two articles of
impeachment against President Donald Trump, which passed in the House this week, to the Republican-controlled Senate.
According to Ken Starr, Pelosi's actions are "wrong constitutionally," he said Saturday on Fox News. "It's an
impeachment with a footnote or with an asterisk," Starr said. "By the way, it never went over to the Senate, which I
think means that it's a bit of a phony impeachment."
Nancy
Pelosi, Not Trump, Is Provoking A Constitutional Crisis. Under the Constitution, the House has the sole power
of impeachment and the Senate has the sole power of conducting a trial. Although the Constitution doesn't say the House
must go through a formal process of "transmitting" the articles of impeachment to the Senate, precedent and Senate rules
dictate that the Senate does not take up measures passed in the House until they have been certified and transmitted, and
that it won't take up an impeachment trial until the House appoints impeachment managers (or prosecutors) for the
trial. This Pelosi has refused to do. She is in effect asserting the primacy of the House over the Senate,
insisting that the Senate conduct an impeachment trial on terms dictated by the House.
Pelosi
gives slurring, incoherent answer to impeachment question. While she was answering questions from the media
Thursday [12/19/2019], one reporter seemingly threw Pelosi for a loop with a simple statement. "Do you run the risk, as
some Republicans have said, of looking like you're playing games with impeachment if you hold on to these articles for too
long?" CBS News reporter Nancy Cordes asked. [...] To hear her complete confusing statement, along with all the stumbling and
slurring, watch the video below: [Video clip]
Pelosi's Latest
Stunt. Nancy Pelosi now says that she will not submit the impeachment notice to the Senate. Uh,
Okay. All month, she was telling us that the impeachment was so urgent that it could not wait for time-consuming
distractions [...] Since Pelosi has gone out of her way to tell all of us, just the other day, that she makes all her
decisions (except those pertaining to abortion, birth control, gay marriage, assisted suicide, etc.) "As a Catholic," she
clearly was racing to skip the annoyances of procedural due process and legal compliances so that she, too, could be home in
time to open her presents under the Tannenbaum, undoubtedly spruced for her PETA voters with politically correct artificial
fir, in one of her several multi-million-dollar mansions sprawled around the Homeless State. There was just no
time to wait.

Ignores the Problems of Her Constituents as the Impeachment Charade Continues. [Scroll down] People
living and eating in the streets of Los Angeles have caused a sharp increase in the rat population and with it a vector for
diseases like typhus, which has affected people who work near Los Angeles' largest homeless encampment. Disease does
not remain in one place, just as San Francisco's poop gets tracked all over the city and the discarded hypodermic needles
that litter the sidewalks of mid-Market and the Tenderloin are there for anyone to step on and spread disease. There is
no policy on the table to solve the homeless problem and its effects. Nancy Pelosi, who should have this issue on her
front burner, has spent the last twenty-two months obsessed with the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. Even
now, this so-called important set of articles is being withheld from the Senate as the charade continues and the real problems
of her constituents and, ultimately, the rest of us are neglected.
Pelosi
lies about claim that '200,000 Wisconsin voters' won't get to cast ballots in 2020. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) lied her way through the impeachment of President Donald Trump, and now she's lying about an effort in Wisconsin
to clean up voter registration rolls ahead of next year's elections. On Thursday [12/19/2019], Pelosi sent out a tweet
claiming that 200,000 people from the Badger State wouldn't be able to cast a ballot in the 2020 elections due to a "voter
purge" by those mean Republicans in the state.
Dershowitz:
Pelosi Delaying A Senate Trial Is 'Unconstitutional'. Calling out the Democratic Party for its far-left
extremism, Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz denounced House Speaker Pelosi's plan to withhold sending the impeachment
vote to the Senate for a trial as "unconstitutional." As noted by Fox News, the Harvard Law professor's recent op-ed
for Newsmax came in response to his colleague Laurence Tribe, who backed Pelosi in not allowing a Senate trial on
impeachment. "[Tribe] would withhold the trial until the Senate agreed to change its rules, or presumably until a new
election put many more Democrats in the Senate. Under his proposal, there might never be a Senate trial, but the
impeachment would stand as a final and permanent condemnation of President Trump," Dershowitz wrote.
Nancy
Pelosi, What Are You Doing? Late Wednesday night, Speaker Nancy Pelosi floated the possibility that the House
might withhold the articles of impeachment against Trump and not transmit them to the Senate at all. [...] The need to
impeach the president was such an urgent matter, we were told, that the House could not wait for the courts to rule on
challenges to the White House's efforts to prevent key witnesses like Mick Mulvaney, Don McGahn, and John Bolton (whom House
Democrats didn't even subpoena) from testifying. These important figures all claimed they would await guidance from the
judiciary before consenting to testify, and the indications were that the extraordinary nature of the impeachment process
would prove compelling. Now the courts aren't even sure if they are obliged to continue litigating the matter.
With the articles passed, the issue is all but moot. Democrats now insist that the Senate cannot proceed unless it
hears from these witnesses, but that is also tacit admission that the fact-finding portion of impeachment proceedings was
unduly rushed.
Why
Impeachment Is A Massive Blunder For Nancy Pelosi. It's been an ugly fall in Washington. Wet, dreary and
deeply stupid. In the season we're supposed to be shopping for the perfect gift for our loved ones, instead most of us
are busily shopping for a reason to give America what they say she wants more than her two front teeth: impeachment.
But despite Wednesday's long-expected vote and the media cheer group accompanying it, this is going terribly for the Democrats.
6
Reasons Pelosi's Senate Obstruction Gambit On Impeachment Articles Is A Disaster. Immediately after impeaching
President Donald Trump for allegedly obstructing the House and abusing his power as president, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
obstructed the Senate's constitutional obligation to hold an impeachment trial and abused her power by trying to steal power
that belongs solely to the Senate under the Constitution. Pelosi told reporters on Thursday that she is in no rush to
formally transmit to the Senate the articles of impeachment her party in the House had just approved. Here are six
reasons Pelosi's impeachment obstruction stunt undermines the entire basis of the Democrats' effort to eject Trump from
office. [#1] After impeaching Trump for supposed obstruction of House, Pelosi moves to obstruct the Senate[.]
Pelosi said she'll wait to send over the articles until she finds out how the Senate will conduct the trial, which looks a
lot like obstructing the Senate, given that the Constitution clearly states that the Senate has "the sole power to try all
[i]mpeachments."
Newt
Gingrich: Nancy Pelosi looks 'foolish' holding up impeachment process. Former Speaker of the House Newt
Gingrich said Friday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's temporary hold on two articles of impeachment is "absurd" and that she
looks "foolish." Appearing on "America's Newsroom" with host Sandra Smith, Gingrich explained that Pelosi, D-Calif., is
in a "world that's out of control." "Why would you start a fight in the House knowing you are going to lose control of
it to the people who are very capable of making you look very foolish?" he asked. "And yet, that's the dance they began."
Incoherent
Nancy Pelosi Releases the Flying Monkeys. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded to questions and concerns about
the construct of a heavily partisan impeachment process and her refusal to send the articles of impeachment to the
Senate. Highlighting the tenuous nature of the position now held by her party, a barely coherent Speaker Pelosi
attempts to explain. As reporters ask questions, Pelosi becomes frustrated and tells the compliant media no more
questions on impeachment will be entertained. A day after impeaching the President, the Speaker of the House refuses to
answer questions. [Video clip]

risky strategy to withhold impeachment from Senate roils Washington. Democrats want to put pressure on
individual Republican senators over the issue of calling witnesses in a Senate impeachment trial, and they are looking to
create friction between President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
struggled Thursday to explain what, exactly, her plan is in delaying sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
She refused to answer questions from reporters who wanted more clarity.
Jim
Jordan to House Democrats: Why Are You Withholding Articles of Impeachment After Rushing to Impeach?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is playing a peculiar game of chess with Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
when it comes to the articles of impeachment. Instead of preparing to transmit them, which you'd think she'd do ASAP
considering how critical it was for Democratic House leaders to get the articles voted on in the House before Christmas,
she's withholding them in an effort, at least on the surface anyway, to get McConnell to play by her rules.
Nancy
Pelosi dubbed 'swamp mistress' on New York Post impeachment front page: 'It's your funeral'. The New York Post
labeled House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the "Swamp mistress" on its Thursday [12/19/2019] post-impeachment cover that
says the decision will backfire for Democrats in 2020. The tabloid put the news of President Trump's impeachment along
the top of the front page before declaring "Swamp mistress Pelosi dresses in black for historic vote," with the message,
"It's your funeral." The "swamp mistress" moniker accompanies an opinion piece by Michael Goodwin that labels Trump's
impeachment a "stomach-turning charade" that "damages America."
Judge
Napolitano: Pelosi withholding articles of impeachment from Senate would be 'grave injustice'. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has a constitutional obligation to send articles of impeachment to the Senate, Judge Andrew
Napolitano said Thursday [12/19/2019]. Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with hosts Pete Hegseth, Steve Doocy, and Ainsley
Earhardt, Napolitano said that while he has said there was a legal basis for impeachment in the House, lawmakers now have a
"moral and constitutional obligation" to send the two articles of impeachment to the Senate. In a news conference on
Wednesday, following the House impeachment vote, Pelosi said that Democrats may wait to send their articles of impeachment
against President Trump to the GOP-controlled Senate, for fear that they are incapable of holding a fair trial. "Well,
guess what?" asked Napolitano. "Under the Constitution, the Senate writes its own rules not subject to the approval of
the speaker of the House or even the majority of the House."
Pelosi
throws impeachment into confusion. Minutes after the House impeached President Donald Trump, House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi threw the process into confusion by refusing to say when or whether she would send the articles of impeachment
to the Senate for a trial. At a news conference held immediately after the vote, Pelosi said "we'll see what happens"
when asked if she would send the articles to the Senate.
Mitch
McConnell says Nancy Pelosi is Scared to send him 'shoddy' articles of impeachment. Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell blasted Democrats on Thursday for creating what he called an 'unfair, unfinished product,' articles of
impeachment against President Donald Trump that stemmed from 'partisan rage.' Calling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's work
'constitutionally incoherent,' he said impeaching a president on the basis of political disagreements would 'invite an
endless parade of impeachable trials' in the future, making House leaders 'free to toss up a jump-ball every time they feel
angry.' 'She's failed the country,' McConnell said on the House floor. 'It was like the speaker called up Chairman
[Jerrold] Nadler and ordered up "One impeachment, rushed delivery, please".'
Nancy
Pelosi Declares: "the senate rules are unfair" — "when rules become fair we will send articles". The
entire House effort to impeach President Donald Trump has been a one-sided partisan effort; built upon a foundation of
manipulation of process and dismissal of the minority rights throughout. After the House voted along party lines, and
in an act of stunning hubris, Speaker Pelosi now declares she will withhold the articles of impeachment until the Senate
makes rules that she determines will be "fair" to the prosecution.
Here's
how McConnell & Senate Republicans should respond to Pelosi's brazenly unconstitutional act. The Senate has the
sole power under the Constitution to adjudicate an impeachment. Therefore, Pelosi is attempting to obstruct the
Senate's power to act on its constitutional authority. McConnell should immediately put an end to this and declare the
impeachment null and void, as the speaker has failed to complete the impeachment process by timely sending it to the Senate
for adjudication. McConnell has no less authority to unilaterally make such a decision than Pelosi does to withhold the
administrative notification of an impeachment to the Senate either indefinitely or with conditions. Her effort to
cripple the presidency and blackmail the Senate must be defeated.
Pelosi
turns impeachment circus into even more of a comedy. Ed suggested this maneuver was on the way yesterday
[12/18/2019] and now it appears that Speaker Pelosi has decided on the lame explanation the Democrats will hang their hats
on. In order to attempt to give Chuck Schumer some "leverage" in the impeachment trial, the Speaker may refuse to send
the articles of impeachment to the upper chamber, dragging all of this nonsense out even further. [...] When I turned on CNN
this morning, the anchors were desperately trying to explain why the Constitution doesn't demand the Speaker send the
articles of impeachment to the Senate. That's technically true, but the Constitution doesn't really "demand" much of
anything, other than requiring the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to preside when the President is on trial.
Away
from that baleful cat Pelosi, the impeachment 'rats come out to play. Did anyone really think the Democrats
were serious when they put on those long faces for the nightly news and cast their impeachment votes? [N]o. Nancy
Pelosi may have put on a funereal face and ordered her minions to pretend to be solemn for the cameras, but [...] The
leftists cheered. They took selfies. They went wild. [...] Nope, the whole thing was always an animating,
celebratory, giggly affair for these people. They've accomplished their life's work now and will probably have a
hangover in the morning.
It's all about optics, B-roll, and photo opportunities. Impeachment
vote: Pelosi tells Democrats to stay 'solemn' during proceedings. Nancy Pelosi's Democratic caucus has
been champing at the bit to throw President Trump out of office, but the House speaker on Wednesday ordered her colleagues
not to gloat — and wore a black dress to what she repeatedly called the "solemn" impeachment proceedings.
Pelosi and other Democratic leaders told their members not to cheer or applaud when the impeachment vote totals are
announced, Axios reported, and many members described the day as sad and solemn. "Don't cheer, keep it solemn," a
Democratic member from a district that Trump won said was the message the leadership delivered.
Democrats
Celebrate After 'Sad and Somber' Impeachment of President Trump. House Democrats clapped and celebrated after
they passed two articles of impeachment against President Trump, despite House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly telling them
not to, as she has sought to portray the impeachment as a solemn and sad event. After the first article on abuse of
power passed, Democrats broke out in applause for several seconds before Pelosi shot them a stern look.
Dems'
fake 'solemnity' exposed as Pelosi silences applause about impeachment vote with her evil eye and hand gesture.
It was an absolutely perfect crystallization of the phoniness of the Democrats' impeachment rhetoric when Speaker Nancy
Pelosi had to silence the spontaneous applause that started to break out as she announced the results of the vote on the
first article of impeachment of President Trump. The Speaker reportedly had instructed House Democrats to pretend that
they weren't thrilled with impeaching President Trump in order to maintain the illusion that they are a "prayerful" and
solemn legislative body reluctantly carrying out their constitutional duty. The reality that they are a deranged lynch
mob, carrying out vengeance against the man who unexpectedly defeated their sure-thing candidate Hillary Clinton is evident
to anyone who heard the calls for impeachment that preceded Trump's inauguration and continued over the last 3-plus years he
has been in office.
House
Dems Approve Articles of Impeachment Against Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi opened Wednesday's [12/18/2019]
debate on the floor of the House by declaring that lawmakers are "custodians of the Constitution." She and several of her
female Democrat colleagues wore black attire in the House chamber to signify what they described as a "somber day." That was
all for show, of course. But the black color Speaker Pelosi and her cohorts wore for Wednesday's proceedings was
appropriate for an entirely different reason — to mourn the damage the House Democrats themselves have inflicted
on the Constitution by their irresponsible votes. They have earned a black mark for taking a wrecking ball to the
Constitution's impeachment provisions.
Nancy
Pelosi's stomach-turning impeachment charade damages America. The arcane rules, phony cordiality and debates
over the second sentence in paragraph G of Point Six were bad enough, but the nausea meter hit the roof when Nancy Pelosi
took the microphone. Wearing a funereal black dress, she stood next to a cardboard American flag and recited the Pledge
of Allegiance. I would have counted her more honest if she had pledged her allegiance to a Democratic donkey. As
the leader of a party that has marinated its mind in unadulterated hatred of President Trump, Pelosi bears unique
responsibility for this calamity. She could have stopped it. Indeed, for months she did.
Pelosi
threatens to delay Senate impeachment trial. Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to commit Wednesday [12/18/2019] to
delivering articles of impeachment to the Senate, citing concerns about an unfair trial on removing President Donald Trump
from office. Senior Democratic aides said the House was "very unlikely" to take the steps necessary to send the
articles to the Senate until at least early January, a delay of at least two weeks and perhaps longer.
Senate
Can Acquit Even If House Withholds Articles of Impeachment. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appears to
be considering an idea Democrats have floated for several days of holding back the articles of impeachment to exercise
leverage over the Senate and the president. She declined formally to transmit the articles to the Senate on Wednesday
evening [12/18/2019] after the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump.
Nancy
Pelosi Compares Impeachment to Battle of the Bulge Against Nazi Germany. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) launched the debate over the impeachment of President Donald Trump on Wednesday by comparing the Democrats' struggle
to remove him from office to the Battle of the Bulge against Nazi Germany in World War II. Described as "Hitler's Last
Gamble," the battle began in December 1944, when the Nazis sent 200,000 troops into a surprise attack against American
forces. Though the Americans prevailed, 100,000 were killed or wounded over two months of fighting. Pelosi drew
an analogy between the impeachment debate and that battle, the largest ever fought by the U.S. Army.
Trump
sends scorching letter to Pelosi ahead of House impeachment vote. President Donald Trump sent a letter on
Tuesday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, excoriating the House Democrats' pursuit of an impeachment inquiry just a day before
the full House is set to vote. In the lengthy letter, the President calls Pelosi's actions spiteful and veers into what
he sees as personal affronts. "You are offending Americans of faith by continually saying 'I pray for the President,'
when you know this statement is not true, unless it is meant in a negative sense," Trump writes in the letter. "It is a
terrible thing you are doing, but you will have to live with it, not I!"
Trump tells
Pelosi in blistering letter that Dems are 'declaring open war on American Democracy'. President Trump, in a
blistering, no-holds-barred six-page letter Tuesday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., lambasted the Democrats'
impeachment inquiry as an "open war on American Democracy," writing that she has violated her oath of office and "cheapened
the importance of the very ugly word, impeachment!" "Everyone, you included, knows what is really happening," Trump
said, just a day before House Democrats were expected to vote to impeach him. "Your chosen candidate lost the election
in 2016, in an Electoral College landslide (306-227), and you and your party have never recovered from this defeat. So
you have spent three straight years attempting to overturn the will of the American people and nullify their votes. You
view democracy as your enemy!"
Nancy
Pelosi Wears All Black on 'Somber Day' of Impeachment, 'Feels Sad'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and
several other female House Democrats are wearing black attire in an effort to show Wednesday's scheduled impeachment vote is
a "somber day." CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash tweeted that Pelosi conveyed to her that she "feels sad"
over today's vote as she walked into the House chamber while House Democrats debate impeachment.
WaPo
Fact Checker Slams Pelosi for 'Bogus Talking Point' on Guns. A Washington Post fact-check released
Thursday [12/12/2019] gave House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) four Pinocchios for a "bogus talking point" about the
number of children killed with firearms each year. Pelosi has repeatedly claimed that 47 percent of gun deaths were
"teenagers or children," according to the Post. CDC data show the real number is closer to 9 percent, meaning
the House speaker exaggerates the true number by more than fivefold. This discrepancy led the Post to assign
Pelosi's claim the harshest rating on its fact-checking scale.
Pelosi
On Dropping The "Devastating" Bribery Article: "I Am Not A Lawyer". I was pleased to see that the
Judiciary Committee dropped previous claims of bribery, extortion, campaign finance and obstruction of justice as the basis
for impeachment. I testified that the repeated assurances on these allegations from members, legal analysts, and my
fellow witnesses were well outside the definitions for these crimes. The Committee ultimately went forward with the
only two articles that I viewed as legitimate while rejecting my arguments to wait to build a sufficient record for
submission to the Senate. I have received considerable criticism for my long opposition to the bribery theory as
unsustainable as an impeachable offense. Thus, I was interested in hearing from the two members who were most adamant
in their past declarations that bribery was established: Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chair
Adam Schiff. Speaker Pelosi has now responded and her answer is far from satisfying.
Buying
Impeachment: Nancy Pelosi-Aligned PAC Spends Millions to Help Swing District Democrats. Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi's rush to impeachment is receiving an assist from the millions of dollars at least one PAC aligned with
her has already spent on House Democrats who currently represent swing districts. Those financial incentives appear to
be increasingly relevant as the final vote on the two articles of impeachment is scheduled to come to the House floor this week.
Alternate
Realities and Impeachment. [Scroll down] I don't doubt that Pelosi would throw herself on the sword for
the party but only if the upside were all but guaranteed or things were so bad she had nothing to lose — neither
of which is the case. As addled as she sounds at times, I find it hard to believe she's lost her strategic mojo and is
hellbent on taking down Trump uber alles — personal consequences to her and the party [notwithstanding]. That
would be asking her to throw away control of the House with the presidential bathwater. Not to mention the mess she'll
have to clean up during campaign season after the Senate acquits Trump — not a guaranteed outcome but the most
likely one. But the speaker has to know there is a 50/50 chance that a Senate trial could expose the House of cards on
which the impeachment is built and derail both the presidential and congressional races for Democrats. I think that's
too risky for her.
The Inspector
General's Report. [Scroll down] While this impeachment charade has bounced between the two most
compulsively mendacious legislators in the Western world, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been giving daily recitals of her
"prayerful solemnity" at the dark majesty of the impeachment process that saddens her so deeply. She has invoked her
Roman Catholic faith (tempered in its fervor by enthusiasm for abortion and other doctrinal inconveniences from the theology
of St. Teddy Kennedy and the Blessed Joe Biden) to say she "hates" no one and "prays for the president." This was
enough to bring on what seemed to be out-of-body epiphanies with the susceptible pundits on cable television, such as Rachel
Maddow and Larry O'Donnell of MSNBC: "The speaker stood there, in the Catholic faith she has practiced all her life,"
etc. The result is nausea and amusement conjoined.
When
Devout Catholics Grimaced Over Pelosi's 'As a Catholic' Hypocrisy. James Rosen, a great reporter, asked Nancy
Pelosi at a press conference last week why she hates the duly elected president of the United States. In her response,
Pelosi detoured into another dimension, denying that she hates Donald Trump. "As a Catholic," she lectured, "I resent
your using the word 'hate' in a sentence that addresses me. I don't hate anyone." "My goodness!," I thought to
myself. "How utterly frustrated, bemused — even furious — sincerely devout Catholics must feel
listening to this cheap politician, who represents billionaires in a district teeming with homeless, cloaking her hatred for
President Trump in Catholic fabric!" Which part of her devout "as a Catholic" devotion leads Nancy Pelosi to be a leader
in promoting abortions, gay marriage, and the Obama-Democrat agenda she shepherded? Where was this "as a Catholic" when
the Little Sisters of the Poor were fighting their way to the Supreme Court of the United States, seeking SCOTUS protection
in Zubik v. Burwell in 2016, from Pelosi's Obamacare, which forced the nuns, against their Catholic faith, to
provide birth control contraceptives to employees?
Jerry
Nadler's absolutely underwhelming articles of impeachment. Just 11 weeks after Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced
her "official impeachment inquiry," Judiciary Committee chief Jerry Nadler released his draft articles of impeachment —
remarkably weak ones. The same day, Pelosi announced a deal with President Trump to pass his US-Mexico-Canada trade deal,
replacing NAFTA. It's a win for him and for her moderate members — yet the speaker is simultaneously treating the
president as a threat to the republic and as a man she can do business with. The reason may be as simple as the polls:
The latest Quinnipiac survey shows sentiment against impeachment at its strongest since Pelosi got the ball rolling on Sept. 24,
with more than half of voters now saying Trump shouldn't be removed from office.
On
Impeachment Tuesday, Nancy Pelosi Toasts the Media at Holiday Party. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi toasted the
media after Articles of Impeachment were announced Tuesday [12/10/2019], celebrating reporters on Capitol Hill at a special holiday
event. Pelosi raised her glass and toasted the press as the "guardians of democracy" after unveiling the articles of
impeachment on Tuesday.
Pro-Abortion
Pelosi's Convenient Catholicism. Cafeteria Catholic Pelosi doesn't invoke her Christian conscience when she
supports her caucus's abortion-until-birth infanticide policy, the ultimate separation of mother from child. There is
no worse brutality than what an unborn child feels at the hands of a surgeon's tools. It is a fact that forceps kill
more children than guns. A detention center on the border or the deportation of those who have had their due process
and have a deportation order lawfully issued by a judge doesn't even come close. Pelosi did not respect faith-based
communities and other organizations, such as her Catholic Church, when it came to Obamacare's attempt to force them and the
institutions they administer to provide insurance that pays for abortions and contraceptives. When it comes to Catholics
and pro-life people acting on their religious conscience, she fights them quicker than you can say "Hobby Lobby."
Sister Nancy
Incarnacion and the H8ters. People tend to repeat what has worked for them. Pelosi's last great
achievement was pushing the fundamentally lawless Affordable Care Act over the line, despite a lack of popular support.
She did it by ruthlessly enforcing party lockstep, pushing many in her caucus to walk the plank. [...] She is running the
same play with impeachment. She doesn't care that impeachment for all appearances, will fail in Senate. Opinion
might change. We have to impeach the president to find out what crimes are in him. Pelosi thinks the president
campaigning under a cloud will help candidates who run for open Senate seats, and if it doesn't, so what? The
likelihood of beating Trump without a decent candidate is low anyhow.
After
impeachment announcement, another round of Nancy Pelosi hero-worship from the press. We are seeing another
round of Pelosi hero-worship this week from our firefighting news media following her announcement that she had asked the
"chairman to proceed with the articles of impeachment" against President Trump. "The president has engaged in abuse of
power, undermining our national security and jeopardizing the integrity of our elections," the speaker maintained during a
news conference. Members of the press wasted no time printing up stories marveling at her iron will and determination.
Nancy
Pelosi's 'Article II' Impeachment Rationale Exposed as Hoax. Nancy Pelosi is going to impeach Donald Trump, the
duly-elected president of the United States, based on what we now know is a hoax. [...] Nancy is inventing crimes now.
She's making stuff up. She is all over TV framing the accused, planting evidence, which is what a dirty cop does when
they can't make a case. Nancy is deliberately and maliciously taking Trump out of context. And not just a little
out of context. No, she is taking the president so far out of context I feel a little silly having to explain it.
Pelosi
on Clinton Impeachment: 'Republicans in the House Are Paralyzed With Hatred of President Clinton'. On Dec. 18,
1998, when the House of Representatives was debating whether to impeach President Bill Clinton for perjury and obstruction of
justice, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) declared on the House floor that the impeachment was "a punishment searching for
a crime that does not exist" and was happening "because the Republicans in the House are paralyzed with hatred of president
Clinton." "I urge my colleagues to vote no, stop this hatchet job on the presidency," Pelosi said then. "Stop
this hypocrisy. Stop this hatred. Vote no on all four counts." [Video clip]
Speaker
Pelosi Declares a Coup Against President Trump. Nancy Pelosi transparently announced a coup against President
Trump on Thursday morning, Dec. 5, 2019, a date which will live in political infamy. There was never any doubt that the
House of Representatives will vote on a strictly partisan basis to impeach the president, but it could not have been foreseen that
Pelosi would frame that approaching act as a naked power grab. Yet that is exactly what she did. In opening her
announcement to draft impeachment charges by quoting the Declaration of Independence, she acknowledged more plainly than ever
before that she is taking a revolutionary act, that she is overthrowing the established order and that, in modern terms, she has
launched a coup. [...] This impeachment is not a unifying act like the joining together of 13 Colonies against a common enemy,
but rather the tearing asunder of a union into separate camps much like the rebellion that Abraham Lincoln encountered in 1861.
Pelosi's
Prescription for Healing the Nation: 'Enjoy Music Together,' See a Play, a Movie. A student who identified
himself as a registered Republican asked Pelosi Thursday night [12/5/2019] how she plans to unify the nation, as one side
demands impeachment and the other side calls it a witch hunt. "I myself think that one of the ways that America will
heal is through the arts," Pelosi answered. "I truly believe that that's something where we find our common
ground. You enjoy music together, you see a play, or a movie, you laugh, you cry, you're inspired — you
laugh, you cry."
The Editor says...
Maybe we could all go to the public library and enjoy Drag Queen Story Hour. Or perhaps Nancy Pelosi could recommend a movie
that will make the impeachment fiasco look reasonable. What's the name of the play that would make me want to vote for
Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton? What orchestra performs the music that would make me vote for the Abortion Party?
Pelosi
says Clinton was impeached for 'being stupid,' downplays House Democrats effort against Trump. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi sought to move on from questions about impeachment during a televised town hall Thursday night, even as she
insisted she wasn't bothered at all by polls showing sagging support for the probe against President Trump. Pelosi, who
also claimed former President Bill Clinton was impeached only for "being stupid," made her comments at the CNN event just
hours after she appeared at a fiery news conference to direct the House Judiciary Committee to begin drafting articles of
impeachment against Trump. "Can we not have any more questions about impeachment?" Pelosi asked at one point. "I
don't mind questions, but to ask me questions through the prism of the White House is like, what?"
Pelosi:
'I Do Pray For [Trump] ... It Doesn't Bother Me What He Thinks About That'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on
Thursday night [12/5/2019] insisted that she does pray for President Trump, and said it doesn't bother her if he doesn't
believe her. She also voiced the hope that the Democrats' push to impeach the president would be carried out in a way
worthy of the Founders' vision for a unified nation. During a CNN town hall in Washington on the day she told the House
committees investigating Trump to proceed with articles of impeachment, Jake Tapper asked Pelosi about her press conference
comment earlier in the day that she prays for the president "all the time" — and about Trump's subsequent retort
on Twitter.
The
Despicable Sanctimony of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Self-bestowed sanctimony, like seething hatred of another,
is something that should never be put out on public display. Pelosi's grab-bag sanctimony was on full display today
when journalist James Rosen asked the one question millions of people longingly need answered: "Do you hate the
president, Madam Speaker?" Pelosi's answer was a jaw-dropping stunner, not because she ordered plucky Rosen, "Don't
mess with me.", but because she took it upon herself to answer for all Catholics, and all other Democrats with the
proverbial use of the term, "WE". "Don't mess with me when it comes to words like that," Pelosi said. "As a
Catholic, I resent you using 'hate' in a sentence that references me." Millions in the world, including Catholics
resent that Pelosi uses her Catholic religion as a foil to hide her seething hatred of President Trump and his supporters
known in Democrat land as the curse-worthy "deplorables".
'Prayerful'
Pelosi has become the Tammy Faye Bakker of impeachment, Mark Steyn says. Conservative commentator and author
Mark Steyn mocked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's fiery news conference appearance Thursday, where she cited her Roman Catholic
faith as proof that she doesn't "hate" President Trump, adding she continues to pray for him. "I know that observing
the ritual niceties of American politics requires making a boatload of industrial-strength hokum," Steyn said on "Tucker
Carlson Tonight" on Thursday [12/5/2019]. "But you and I and 300 million people across the country know that Nancy
Pelosi isn't praying for the president."
Nancy
Pelosi erupts 'Don't mess with me!' when reporter asks if she Hates Donald Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
erupted Thursday at a reporter who asked if she hates President Donald Trump. Pelosi had two hours earlier publicly
told House Democrats to draft articles of impeachment to try to remove the president from office. 'Do you hate the
president, Madam Speaker?' asked James Rosen, a longtime correspondent for Fox News who is now with Sinclair Broadcasting.
Pelosi, typically even-tempered, abandoned her measured speaking and became visibly angry. 'I pray for the president all
the time,' she shot back. 'So don't mess with me when it comes to words like that.'
The Editor says...
The leader of the Abortion Party is quick to brag about how much she prays.
Queen
Pelosi's Abuse of Power. It was fascinating to see to see Speaker Pelosi, fresh from a congressional jaunt to a
climate change conference in sunny Spain, explain to us the urgency of impeaching President Trump after, as Rep. Andy
Biggs points out, the equivalent of two months of congressional recesses in which none of the American people's business was
done. One of those was the Thanksgiving recess, during which the 31 House members from House districts Trump won, and
others, got an earful from constituents who wanted to know why nothing's been done on prescription drug prices, border
security, putting together a budget, or the USMCA trade agreement with Canada and Mexico.
Nancy
Pelosi Announces Democrats Will Begin Drafting Articles of Impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said
Thursday that the House Judiciary Committee will begin drafting articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
"The president's actions have seriously violated the Constitution," Pelosi said in a press conference on Capitol Hill.
"Our Democracy is at stake. The president leaves us no choice but to act."
ImpeachmentTV:
Season 2, episode 1: The House Judiciary Caper. [Scroll down] This was always one of the main purposes of
the impeachment sham. Pelosi was smart to avoid putting her members on the record voting to open an impeachment inquiry but
she needed to open the inquiry in order to obtain certain powers and pretense to get more dirt to smear Trump and his advocates.
Some people "in the know" think the Democrats won't actually vote on impeachment because it's very risky politically: Pelosi will
put her members in Trump districts on the record and once the articles of impeachment head to the Senate, the Democrats will lose
control of the information stream.
Pelosi
Chooses Climate Change over USMCA Jobs. Ever notice that climate change conferences are never held in places
like Somalia or Bangladesh or perhaps one of those islands that are going to be under water the day after tomorrow?
They are always held in places like Copenhagen (2009) or this time in Spain, places where the elites can fly in on private
jets, stay in five-star hotels, and explain why they must control every aspect of our lives lest we all die in the next
dozen years. [...] Of course, flying in 25,000 attendees is considered by the elites as a necessary contribution to
atmospheric carbon dioxide pollution. Climate change supporters, not Trump supporters, are a true cult, creating a
climate religion they demand we must worship. The goal is to use climate change as a means to increase government power
over every aspect of our lives — what we make, how we make it, what energy we use, what cars we drive, even what
food we eat.
Pelosi
to lead delegation to climate summit amid U.S. withdrawal from Paris climate deal. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
is leading a delegation of members of Congress to the annual international climate summit known as COP25 in Madrid, Spain,
next week. While the delegation will include members of both the House and Senate, it will not be bipartisan, as only
Democrats will be attending. "It is a privilege to accompany a high-level Congressional delegation to Spain to combat
the existential threat of our time: the climate crisis," Pelosi said in a statement on Saturday [11/30/2019].
"Taking action to protect our planet is a public health decision for clean air and clean water for our children, an economic
decision for creating the green, good-paying jobs of the future, a national security decision to address resource competition
and climate migration and also a moral decision to be good stewards of God's creation and pass a sustainable, healthy planet
to the next generation," she said.
The Editor says...
[#1] This is a taxpayer-funded junket. A vacation, not a delegation. Nothing of any substance will result from this trip.
[#2] "Resource competition" is nothing new. [#3] There is no "climate migration." [#4] If you want to make "a
moral decision to be good stewards of God's creation" maybe you should reconsider your absolute commitment to abortion at any stage of
pregnancy. [#5] "[C]reating the green, good-paying jobs of the future" is not the government's proper role, and anyway, the
push for "green jobs" started years ago and hasn't worked. [#6] There is no climate crisis, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant,
and there is no "existential threat."
Nancy
Pelosi's worst nightmare slowly comes to life. Nancy Pelosi fought a lot with her far-left socialist extremist
"Squad" members, primarily over the issue of impeaching President Trump. "It's just not worth it," she tried to tell
the far leftists in her camp, trying to bat off their yipping and yapping. What the wizened old grande dame of the
Democrats feared was a replay of 1998, the Republican bid to impeach Bill Clinton, which left that party out on its
ear. She knew that it would be the same for Democrats, and the latter would lose big. She knew, and for that she
fought those far leftists from low-turnout solid blue districts who were too young to remember that lesson and too arrogant
to learn it. It's pretty obvious she's ruing this turn of affairs, given that what she expected is exactly what's
happening now.
The leader of the Abortion Party says she is concerned about "the survival of our children." Pelosi
Says Her 'Political Survival' Is Not 'More Important Than the Survival of Our Children'. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said at her weekly press briefing last Thursday [11/21/2019] that neither her "political survival" nor
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's was "more important than the survival of our children." "Our message to Mitch
McConnell [was] ...why do you think your political survival is more important than the survival of our children?" said
Pelosi. "Not yours, not mine, not any of our political survival is more important. And if you're afraid of the NRA,
think of how afraid those children are at the prospect and then sometimes the reality of a gunman in their school."
WaPo
reporter: We're hearing behind the scenes that more House Dems are getting "cold feet" about impeachment.
I'll take the opportunity up front to double down on [another] post from Friday [11/22/2019]. I'd bet my life savings
plus several internal organs that Pelosi will have 218 to impeach. That's based on the simple reality that failing to
do so at this point would cost Democrats more politically than proceeding with impeachment would. Voters who hate Trump
would be furious and voters who like Trump wouldn't give Pelosi and Schiff an ounce of credit for standing down in the
end. The president would gloat about it every day unto eternity. Pelosi, long respected by both sides for her
ability to whip votes, would be humiliated utterly. Her legacy would be in ruins. They'll have 218.
Why
Dems are so worried after latest round of impeachment hearings. If coup-coup Nancy Pelosi has a panic button,
now would be a good time to lean on it. With signs that Americans are tuning out the impeachment hearings, the clock is
ticking on Democrats' chance to make their case. Pelosi is clearly worried, telling fellow Dems it's a "weak response"
to "let the election decide" whether President Trump should be removed. "That dangerous position only adds to the
urgency of our action, because POTUS is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections," the speaker wrote in a "Dear
Colleague" letter to her House members. The letter seemed strange enough when it became public Monday [11/18/2019], but
Tuesday's hearing more than justified her fear and desperation. With her party now having failed to hit anything close
to pay dirt after three long days of public testimony, she is trying to keep her members on board the impeachment train, lest
the whole effort crash in failure and disgrace.
Pelosi
on Impeachment: 'Republicans Are in Denial About the Facts'. During a Nov. 21 press conference at the U.S.
Capitol, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the reason why the impeachment inquiry does not have bipartisan
support is that "Republicans are in denial about the facts." "The Republicans are in denial about the facts," she
said. "If the Republicans do not want to honor their oath of office, then I don't think we should be characterized as
partisan in that way because we are patriotic." On the other side of the issue, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
(R-Calif.) said the facts arising from the hearings are in favor of President Donald Trump. When asked by reporters
what is the strongest defense of the Republicans, he said the facts are the strongest defense, as the impeachment inquiry
hearings move on.
New
Impeachment Poll Shows Pelosi and Schiff May Be Setting Democrats up for a 2020 Election Disaster. In spite of
what the national media and Democrats have been saying about voter support for impeaching President Trump, the writing has
been on the wall for weeks suggesting they're on a path to disaster come election time. A new Politico-Morning Consult
poll bears that out, but first, let's look at what other revealing polls have said over the last few weeks. Roughly two
weeks before the public impeachment inquiry hearings began, a Suffolk University poll showed that when it comes to the
impeachment issue, the devil is in the details. In that poll, 31% of those surveyed believed the July call between
Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky was not a big deal. 21% said that even though they felt the call was wrong, they
didn't feel he should be impeached over it, meaning a total of 52% of the 1,000 registered voters surveyed believed Trump had
not committed an impeachable offense with the call.
Nixon's
Lessons for the Would-Be Impeachers. One of the many galling aspects of the contemptible farce being conducted
by the House Democratic leadership is the historical myth-making they glibly inflict on the country. This is the
mentality that held that the Macdonald's-like detention centers on the southern border for minors who entered the country
illegally after being abandoned by their so-called families, were, to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, reminiscent of Nazi death camps.
(Doubtless the centers were the most commodious accommodation most of these unfortunate young people had ever had.) Each
asinine day in this absurd divertissement is "prayerful and solemn," Pelosi laments, adding that the hearings prove that this
president's conduct was "much worse than Nixon's" and that "he should resign," too.
Nancy
Pelosi Is Already Attacking the Legitimacy of the 2020 Election. In her Dear Colleague letter pushing back
against Republican anti-impeachment talking points, Nancy Pelosi wrote this: "The weak response to these hearings has
been, 'Let the election decide.' That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because the President is
jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections." Is he? If a Republican had suggested that a presidential election
was a "dangerous" notion, he would have triggered around-the-clock panic-stricken coverage on CNN and a series of deep dives in
The Atlantic lamenting the conservative turn against our sacred democratic ideals. What Pelosi has done is even more
cynical. She's arguing that if Democrats fail in their efforts to impeach Trump — and, I assume, remove him
from office — then the very legitimacy of the 2020 election will be in question before any votes are cast.
A
Shocking Suggestion From Speaker Pelosi. Speaker Nancy Pelosi's suggestion that President Trump emulate
President Nixon and resign is, in our opinion, a shocking démarche unworthy of her office. And a glimpse into
the predicament of the Democrats, who, though they began beating the drums for impeachment more than three years ago, still
don't seem to know what charges to lay against the president.
Nancy
Pelosi Tells Democrats That Impeachment Is Important Because the Voters Can't Be Trusted to Make the Right Decision in
2020. As we've documented here in some detail, the impeachment of Donald Trump is collapsing under the weight
of its own dishonesty and the pressure of the 2020 election. The exact 'high crime' or 'misdemeanor' President Trump
stands accused of has gone through three iterations after the 'collusion' and 'obstruction' failed to gain any traction.
And Pelosi, herself, seems uncertain of how to proceed with a process neither her caucus nor the voters are eager to see go
further. Sometimes, though, pressure becomes sort of the "in vino veritas" for politicians. And
impeachment pressure has had that effect on Pelosi. Unable to find a rational argument to the two main points
opposing this fake impeachment — there are no crimes and this is an election year so let the voters decide —
Pelosi tried to stomp down on those opinions before they began to corrupt the GroupThink of her caucus.
Nancy
Pelosi goes for slam dunk — and crashes to court. It's no coincidence that the very word Pelosi
chose to characterize Trump's behavior during his call with Ukraine's president is specifically named in the Constitution as
an impeachable offense. Article II, Section 4 provides that the "president, vice president and all civil officers
of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery or other high crimes
and misdemeanors." Quid pro quo wasn't getting it. So the left had to slap on a label that's impeachable.
The
silly sanctification of Marie Yovanovitch. [Scroll down] The Mueller investigation and this Ukraine
nonsense was and remains an attempted cover-up. And as cover-ups go, this one has gone very badly for the cover-uppers.
Brennan, Clapper, Comey et. al. were bad enough. The current crop of wannabe-impeachers are like the Three Stooges.
Schiff has bungled his bit of Intel committee tyranny so badly, he's recruiting Trump voters by the thousands. Like the FSOs
and the Comey crowd, Schiff thinks he is smarter than the American public, that we are easily fooled, but in fact, the American public
is much smarter than these swamp-dwellers. They are [much] smarter than Schiff. He has made an utter fool of himself these
past weeks. Letting him chair the Intel committee was the biggest mistake of Pelosi's career.
Top
Democrats Concede They're Losing The Impeachment Battle. CNN reported Thursday evening [11/14/2019] that top
Democrats are privately acknowledging that the impeachment hearings will do little to persuade the vast majority of the
public that President Trump committed an impeachable offense. According to CNN, in a private meeting earlier this week,
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenants were skeptical about the prospects of a dramatic shift in opinion even as
public impeachment hearings began this week, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter." Nevertheless, they
intend to carry on, in the hopes that things might change. [...] It seems Democrats fault the American public, for apparently
not being smart enough to understand what abuse of power is.
Pelosi
gets curt with 'Mr. Republican talking points' James Rosen for basic question. Congressional Democrats are
so accustomed to being treated like royal dignitaries by the demonstrably biased left-wing mainstream media that they tend to
cop an attitude whenever real journalists hit them with tough questions. Take Your Highness Nancy Pelosi, the speaker
of the House. She's used to being celebrated as a "badass" by CNN, a network whose own analysts recently fantasized
about the president's impeachment leading to her being installed as America's next president. And so when veteran
journalist James Rosen of Sinclair chose on Wednesday to treat Pelosi exactly how the mainstream media treat the president,
she cried foul.
Impeachment
hearings! Is that all they've got? [Scroll down] Something is manifestly wrong with Adam Schiff.
[...] He does not, apparently cannot, differentiate between the truth and lies. [...] He has become a joke and his own
Democrat colleagues know it. He is an embarrassment. If she were wise, which she is not, Pelosi would shut this
faux inquiry down now. But wisdom is not her strong point. When Trump wins the 2020 election in a landslide, the
Democrats will blame Schiff. They will never admit that Trump won because he is a great president and has gone a long
way toward making American great again. If what we saw and heard on Wednesday [11/13/2019] was any indication of what
the Democrats have in support of their effort to depose him, if that is all there is, they are making the biggest mistake of
their political lives.
Nervous
Nancy's two alternatives. [Scroll down] She will end up pleasing a relatively small percentage consisting
of those who are passionate about "sticking it to Trump." With an almost certain acquittal in the Senate, a celebratory
Trump awaits as he proclaims ultimate victory and makes those House members who voted "Aye" pay dearly. With the vote
tentatively scheduled to give America a Christmas present it will not soon forget, we will see just how Nervous Nancy chooses
to "ring in the holidays."
Schiff's
impeachment fraud: 'I'd take a flamethrower to this place!' Why Pelosi ever gave Schiff any power over
anything, let alone the Intel Committee, is a mystery. Surely, she is embarrassed by his fascist tactics in service of
his obsession. But then again, perhaps she is not. Who knows what goes on in her addle-pated, Botoxed
brain? Is she, like Schiff, morally and intellectually challenged? They are both making fools of themselves.
[...] Is it possible she has lost all touch with reality, that she thinks Schiff and his Deep State cohorts can convince
enough Republicans to abandon the most successful president since Reagan? Hard to believe, but possible.
Who's Your Baghdadi,
Now? You would think, if you were an American and had the sense you were born with, the execution of Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi would be cause for jubilation. But if you're a Democrat, and therefore lacking the sense you were born
with, it is anything but a happy occasion. In fact, one's reaction to the news that not only was the leader of ISIS
dead, but his successor was also on the express train to Hell, could serve as a Rorschach test for Americans. Nancy
Pelosi was unable to exhibit unbridled joy because, she complained, President Trump hadn't run the plan past her, Adam Schiff
and Jerry Nadler, before greenlighting the mission. She was also upset because the President had alerted Russia.
He did so because the Special Ops would be flying over Russian-held territory in Syria and he didn't want them being shot
down. Also, Trump knew that, unlike the Democrats, the Russians can keep a secret.
GOP
senator defends calling Pelosi 'dumb': 'What I said was accurate'. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) defended
remarks this week in which he called Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) "dumb," saying that his comments were "accurate."
"Well, I didn't mean disrespect," he said Friday on Fox News, "but I do think what I said was accurate." "Let me say
it again: I think that what Speaker Pelosi is doing here is not only dumb, but it's dangerous," he said, referring to
the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry led by Pelosi.
Nancy
Pelosi Says 'The Growing Climate Crisis is the Existential Threat of Our Time'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D.-Calif.) issued a statement on Monday [11/4/2019] condemning President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris
Climate Agreement and declaring that the "growing climate crisis is the existential threat of our time."
The Editor says...
There is no climate crisis. The weather is not an existential threat. Nobody care about global warming
any more. Even if you're as old as Nancy Pelosi, the climate is indistinguishable today from the climate in the year
you were born.
Nancy
Pelosi's Stall Tactics Hurt America's Economy. We haven't had a true bipartisan victory in Washington for
seemingly ages, but we are tantalizingly close to getting there. This would be the passage of the U.S. Mexico Canada
Trade Agreement (USMCA). Both parties want this modernized version of the North American Free Trade Agreement to
pass. It is the legacy of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. But this latest modernized trilateral trade deal for
North America hasn't happened yet because of an endless parade of stall tactics by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She is
blockading a vote of the 435 members of the House of Representatives.
Two
Pelosi errors that could cost Democrats the election in 2020. It is an article of faith among political
analysts that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a master strategist, and indeed her career is studded with significant
accomplishments. Yet, more recently, she has made two grievous errors that could well cost Democrats the election in
2020. The first was putting Adam Schiff in charge of the impeachment inquiry. The second is not reining in the
so-called Squad, or the four female freshmen Democrats whose extreme progressive voices have helped push the Democrat party
to the left, alienating much of the country.
Nancy
Pelosi Worried 2020 Democrats Are Going Too Far Left. Nancy Pelosi, who opened up an impeachment inquiry of
Donald Trump in response to pressure from the far-left base of her party, has issued a warning to the Democrats running for
president: far-left proposals like Medicare for All and wealth taxes won't help them defeat Trump in 2020. "What works
in San Francisco does not necessarily work in Michigan. What works in Michigan works in San Francisco — talking
about workers' rights and sharing prosperity," she said at a Bloomberg News roundtable on Friday [11/1/2019]. "Remember
November. You must win the Electoral College." [...] She also warned about supporting the Green New Deal. "There's
very strong opposition on the labor side to the Green New Deal because it's like 10 years, no more fossil fuel.
Really?" she said. Interestingly enough, Joe Biden caved to pressure and embraced the plan, despite the fact that he's
supposed to be the "centrist" alternative to the crazies.
Liz
Cheney calls on Nancy Pelosi to release impeachment transcripts, end 'selective leaking'. Rep. Liz Cheney,
R-Wyo., on Friday called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to release the full transcripts of all depositions in the Trump
impeachment inquiry, and demanded the end to what she called "selective leaking" of documents to the media. "Despite
the vote in the House on October 31, House Democrats continue to conduct the partisan effort to impeach the President in
secret," Cheney wrote in a letter to Pelosi.
Pelosi
Uncorks Impeachment Probe With Few Answers and High Risks. Nancy Pelosi has launched a new phase of the
impeachment inquiry with no explicit timetable, no defined scope of what to investigate, no guarantee the White House will
cooperate and not a single Republican vote — in many ways taking Congress and the country into the exact
politically perilous place she long sought to avoid. The vote puts pressure on President Donald Trump, who now is all
but certain to face a vote on articles of impeachment in the coming months. But the onus also falls on Pelosi to finish
what she started, with only the slimmest majority of public support in polls and many nervous Democrats who know voters will
hold them to account for what happens.
Pelosi's
Latest Sanctimonious, Hypocritical Lying, Quickly & Easily Exposed. On Thursday Speaker Pelosi, offered one of
her most dishonest, sanctimonious, pearl clutching, impeachment related moments. And that's saying something. The
Democrat defended her latest action by saying, "This is not any cause for any glee or comfort. This is something that
is very solemn ... Nobody ... comes to Congress to impeach the president of the United States, unless his actions are
jeopardizing our honoring our oath of office." What Pelosi is deliberately ignoring is that every member of the
radical "Squad", now controlling the Democrat caucus, was very much, and in some cases gleefully, preaching impeachment
before coming to Congress.
A tragedy
for the nation — and democracy. Another day, another giant step on the road to ruin. Either
Nancy Pelosi has lost her mind or she really wants to dig America's grave. The vote to formalize the impeachment jihad
is a great day for Trump haters and a tragedy for democracy and common sense. Coming a year before an election and
without a compelling claim that the president committed anything remotely resembling "high crimes and misdemeanors," the
action is an abuse of power for purely partisan purposes. The timing is also exquisite. Voting on Halloween, and
on the same day when Democratic Rep. Katie Hill took to the House floor to declare herself a victim of a double standard
after she was caught engaging in threesomes with her husband and a campaign aide, the picture of a party seized by
shamelessness is complete.
Steve
Scalise: Pelosi Using Impeachment Probe to Influence 2020 Presidential Election. While briefing reporters
in the wake of the House Democrat's approval, along party lines, of the impeachment inquiry resolution, Scalise declared:
["]If you look at where we are at right now, we're at an important point in history. Clearly, there are people
that we serve with that don't like the results of the 2016 election — that's their prerogative — but
the country next year will be deciding who our president is going to be. It should not be Nancy Pelosi and a small
group of people that she selects that get to determine who's going to be our president.["] He went on to say
that Democrats are not interested in getting to the bottom of the allegations that triggered the impeachment effort.
Instead, their focus is solely on removing President Donald Trump from office and overturning the results of the 2016
elections, Scalise indicated.
Pelosi
Bonaparte sees her Waterloo. For months, we have listened to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insist that this whole
"formal impeachment inquiry" in search of a "high crime" did not require a vote by the full House of Representatives.
Until, apparently, it does. Never mind. It is worth noting that previously there have been three (3) votes by the
full House on impeaching President Trump. Each failed miserably, losing lopsided and bipartisan votes. Never mind
again. Now comes Mrs. Pelosi forcing a vote by the full House on a formal impeachment inquiry. It passed by
brute majority, 232-196. While technically a "win" for Democrats, Thursday's vote falls disastrously short of Mrs. Pelosi's
insistence for the past two years that any impeachment effort be bipartisan. The only thing that was "bipartisan" out of the
House vote were the "nays" to halt this impeachment nonsense, which included every House Republican along with two Democrats.
Nancy
Pelosi Says Impeachment 'Isn't About Anything Personal with the President'. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) told reporters the impeachment inquiry into President Trump is not because of any personal reasons Democrats may have
against him. Pelsoi said the impeachment inquiry is consistent to what the Founding Fathers had envisioned for the
country and the separate, coequal branches of the government.
40
Conservative Groups File Ethics Complaint Against Speaker Pelosi: Partisan 'Weaponized Impeachment'.
Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder and national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots, spearheaded the filing of a complaint with
the Office of Congressional Ethics against Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) "unconstitutional, partisan investigation" of
President Donald Trump. The complaint also targeted the impeachment resolution passed by the House on Thursday
232-196 — a tally of those opposed to the resolution that included two Democrats and every Republican member.
Nancy
Pelosi targeted in ethics complaint filed by 40 conservative groups. A coalition of conservative groups has
filed an ethics complaint against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D.-Calif., alleging she has "hypocritically usurped" the
authority of the president and "weaponized" impeachment proceedings. "In launching her 'official' impeachment inquiry
without benefit of a vote of the full House of Representatives and without indicating anything remotely qualifying as
'treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors' that is the subject of the inquiry, Speaker Pelosi has weaponized
impeachment," reads the complaint, led by Tea Party Patriots Action's Jenny Beth Martin and signed by 40 different groups.
History
will not be kind to Nancy Pelosi. One way or another, Nancy Pelosi will go down in history. Let's hope
she doesn't take America with her. The speaker's decision to go all in on impeachment is fraught with danger and could
have fateful consequences far beyond Donald Trump's presidency. With only about a year to go until the 2020 election,
Pelosi has thrown her full weight behind the effort to undo the results of 2016. This is a historic mistake, one that
could tear America apart. Based on the evidence the House has made public, impeaching Trump is a meritless, reckless
assault on democracy.
Pelosi's
deceptive 'impeachment vote'. Speaker Pelosi is playing word games, trying to pull a fast one on the
Republicans, the American people, and the Constitution by appearing to "authorize" a formal impeachment inquiry, while not
actually passing an impeachment resolution that would trigger rights for Republican House members to call witnesses and issue
subpoenas. That is why, when ambushed by NBC News, she was careful to make a distinction and say "It is not an
impeachment resolution."
This
Impeachment Subverts the Constitution. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed committees investigating President
Trump to "proceed under that umbrella of impeachment inquiry," but the House has never authorized such an inquiry.
Democrats have been seeking to impeach Mr. Trump since the party took control of the House, though it isn't clear for
what offense. Lawmakers and commentators have suggested various possibilities, but none amount to an impeachable
offense. The effort is akin to a constitutionally proscribed bill of attainder — a legislative effort to
punish a disfavored person. The Senate should treat it accordingly. The impeachment power is quasi-judicial and
differs fundamentally from Congress's legislative authority. The Constitution assigns "the sole power of impeachment"
to the House — the full chamber, which acts by majority vote, not by a press conference called by the Speaker.
Once the House begins an impeachment inquiry, it may refer the matter to a committee to gather evidence with the aid of
subpoenas. Such a process ensures the House's political accountability, which is the key check on the use of
impeachment power.
After
Baghdadi Action, Dem Candidates Have Their Work Cut Out for Them. Nancy Pelosi appears to have been deeply
unhappy she and other Democratic House members weren't informed in advance of the action to eliminate Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
Saturday night [10/27/2019]. However, on a "need to know basis" Nancy had no need to know whatsoever, nor did Chuck
Schumer or the meretricious House Intelligence chair Adam Schiff. Indeed, given the way these people and their
colleagues leak and have leaked, in and out of the media, Trump would have been not only insane but guilty of gross
negligence to have warned these hyper-partisans of an action in which many of our nation's finest could easily have been
blown to smithereens.
Pelosi
Calls House Vote to Affirm Speaker Impeachment Inquiry The House Never Authorized. Very nice trick here by the
Lawfare advisory and rules committee that is handling the construct of the "Official House Inquiry" on impeachment. It
is such a good trick it has everyone crossed-up and confused. Likely, that is by design. On Thursday of this week
[10/31/2019] Speaker Pelosi is bringing to the floor a resolution to affirm her previous declaration of an "Official House
Inquiry". Mrs. Pelosi is very purposefully and carefully telling reporters this is not a "House resolution on impeachment".
Pick up a newspaper, Nancy. There's your briefing. Nancy
Pelosi demands briefing on U.S. military's al-Baghdadi raid. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday demanded a
briefing on the U.S. military strike that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a raid in which President Trump
said Congress leaders were intentionally left out of the loop. [...] In announcing the major takedown in the fight against
the Islamic State or ISIS, Mr. Trump singled out Mrs. Pelosi when saying congressional leaders couldn't be trusted
in the planning of the attack in Syria. "Washington is a leaking machine," the president said during the announcement
earlier Sunday from the White House. Mrs. Pelosi commended the U.S. military for carrying out the raid but did not
mention Mr. Trump, who made killing al-Baghdadi a priority and gave the order for the strike.
Obviously she can't be trusted. Trump
says he kept details of ISIS operation from Pelosi to avoid leaks. President Trump said Sunday morning [10/27/2019] that he
did not tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about the U.S. military raid in Syria that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi because he was worried about leaks that could have compromised the mission. Vice President Mike Pence said this was
not an indication of a lack of trust. When asked if he notified Pelosi beforehand, Trump said he did not because he did not
want any members of the U.S. forces to die.
Pelosi
finally makes [a] statement on [the] al-Baghdadi raid and it's as petty as it gets. Amid reports that President
Donald Trump did not inform House Speaker Nancy Pelosi beforehand on the top-secret raid by U.S. forces that resulted in the
death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the speaker released a statement that
rained on Trump's parade. While the president celebrated bringing "the world's number one terrorist leader to justice,"
the California Democrat snubbed Trump in saying al-Baghdadi's death "does not mean the death of ISIS." Of course, it
took her two and a half hours to come up with a response — a lifetime in today's social media age.
Nancy Pelosi
'fiddles while the USMCA is in the deep freeze'. The U.S-Mexico-Canada Agreement is ready to go, but the Trump
administration blames one person for holding it back: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "She fiddles while the USMCA is
in the deep freeze," White House trade adviser Peter Navarro told FOX Business' "Mornings with Maria" on Thursday. "The
false narrative here is this whole issue about labor enforcement. That problem's effectively been solved." The
USMCA was ratified by Mexico on June 19. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said Canada will ratify the deal once
Pelosi brings it up for a vote in the House, where her Democratic party regained control in mid-term elections in 2018.
Mittens,
the Deep State, and the Ongoing Coup Against POTUS. House of Representatives Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, announced
impeachment proceedings against the president just three hours after stating in a speech that she would not. Speaker
Pelosi had zero evidence, cause, stated reason and lacked the required vote of the House of Representatives to do so, but
announced it anyway. Strangely enough... and what caught my attention... Mitt Romney jumped on the "Impeach Trump"
train that same day. How did Nancy go from "There will be no impeachment proceedings," that morning in New York to
announcing impeachment proceedings that afternoon when she got back to Washington, DC? Meet the Grand Master of the Deep
State in America. Admitted Communist, John Brennan, who has some serious explaining to do now that his attempted coup
of U.S. President Donald Trump has been exposed... and continues! So why did Romney want to shut down any investigation
of Ukraine's role as well? That's the question that got this investigation started and it's shocking.
'Impeach
Pelosi' Petition Surpasses Quarter-Million Signatures on White House Website. A White House website "We the
People" petition calling on Congress to "IMPEACH Pelosi for treason!" has garnered more than a quarter-million signatures
to-date. As of Wednesday, October 23, 2019, more than 260,000 people have signed the petition to impeach House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) created January 18, 2019 on the "We the People" website — more than two and a half times the minimum
of 100,000 required to warrant an official response. The Georgia woman who created the petition in January, Marjorie
Taylor Greene, personally delivered a copy of the petition to Speaker Pelosi's House office on February 22 of this
year. Greene continues to encourage Americans to sign the petition, aided by President Donald Trump's recent calls for
Pelosi's impeachment for the way she has conducted her impeachment inquiry of him.
Speaker
Pelosi Justifies Effort: Investigating Political Corruption is Grounds for Impeachment. Nancy Pelosi
released a "fact sheet" outlining her justification for the impeachment process. Within the justification Speaker
Pelosi/Lawfare intentionally conflates investigating past political corruption/interference (2016) with the current 2020
election. Speaker Pelosi's self-serving position boils down to: any effort by the executive branch to investigate
prior political corruption is grounds for presidential impeachment.
Pelosi's
'fact sheet' on Trump impeachment. Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) office on Monday released a "fact sheet"
detailing allegations against President Trump amid House Democrats' ongoing impeachment inquiry. "President Trump has
betrayed his oath of office, betrayed our national security and betrayed the integrity of our elections for his own personal
political gain," the document argues.
The mother
of all hissy fits. By now, you've all heard about Speaker Nancy Pelosi walking out on President Trump. [...] My
theory is that Speaker Pelosi was trying to pick a fight with President Trump to compensate for the announcement that there'd
be no impeachment vote anytime soon. What else do you do when the left wants to hang him from the tree outside of the
Capitol Building? No matter what, Speaker Pelosi did not look good for a woman who is third in line to assume the
presidency.
She probably pictures herself as George Washington. Nancy
Pelosi Compares Impeachment Effort to American Revolution. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday
[10/17/2019] compared the Democrat-led impeachment effort to the American Revolution, telling a crowd at the Democratic
National Committee's Women's Leadership Forum that "the times have found us." [...] Pelosi's claim that none of the Democrat
lawmakers came to Congress with the intention of pursuing impeachment against the president is patently false. Some
members of the far-left "Squad" called for President Trump's impeachment prior to taking office.
Guerrilla Politics.
The guerrilla element started even before Trump was elected and has continued for the last three years. [...] These attacks,
as currently deployed by the Democrats, are a constant barrage of false accusations, such as the Russian collusion and the
quid pro quo with Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky. The charges against Trump need not be true, but they do need
to be overlapping and unending. The "guerrillas" attack his family, his nominees (Gorsuch and Kavanaugh), or members of
his administration (Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Sanders, et. al.). They attack using false accusations as a direct counter against
President Trump's effective use of Twitter. Nancy Pelosi expressed the strategy clearly in a press conference.
Tell a lie to the media. Let the media run with it. Cite the media later as truth. A very effective but
disingenuous means of convincing the masses that Trump is an ogre.
Pelosi:
'The Voters Are Not Going to Decide' Impeachment Issue. Why not let the American people decide in November 2020
if President Trump should stay in office, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked at her Thursday [10/17/2019] news conference.
Election issues are for voters, and impeachment is for lawmakers, Pelosi responded. [...] "The voters are not going to decide
whether we honor our oath of office," Pelosi said. "They already decided that in the last election."
A Lie
Is Not Just a Lie. [Scroll down] Why do they change positions so often? Because the polls said they
should. Can a Democrat run as a pro-lifer? Never! Is Nancy Pelosi really a devout Catholic? Does she
believe what the Catholic Church says Catholics believe? Or does she say what she has to say to get elected? Does
that mean that her whole professional life is one big unprincipled lie? It certainly means that constituents don't hold
her to a standard requiring reconciliation of obvious inconsistencies.
Nancy
Pelosi being politically smart by delaying impeachment vote, Brit Hume says. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is
being politically smart by holding off on a formal Trump impeachment vote on the chamber floor, according to Brit Hume.
However, the investigation she is engineering is "peculiar" and unlike past proceedings against ex-presidents like Richard
Nixon, Hume claimed Tuesday [10/15/2019] on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "I frankly can't think of a good reason, from
her point of view, why she would hold a vote," he said.
Pelosi:
No House vote on impeachment inquiry. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday she will not stage a vote on
the House floor to officially launch an impeachment inquiry into President Trump. The decision came after Democratic
leaders, returning to Washington following a two-week recess, had reached out to members of their diverse caucus to gauge the
party's support for such a vote. [...] "There's no requirement that we have a vote, and so at this time we will not be having
a vote," Pelosi told reporters during a last-minute press briefing in the Capitol.
Pelosi
Refuses to Hold Full House Vote On an Impeachment Inquiry. Ahead of the Democratic debate on Tuesday, Speaker
Nancy Pelosi announced that she would hold off on having a full House vote to authorize a formal impeachment inquiry into
President Donald Trump. Republicans have pushed Pelosi to hold a formal vote in the House. Doing so would give
the White House the ability to subpoena their own witnesses. The Speaker, however, said a formal vote isn't required
for Democrats to continue with their probe. According to Pelosi, Trump violated the Emoluments Clause by allowing
foreign governments to interfere in the American government and elections.
The Editor says...
The charges are broad and vague. Where's the evidence? The American people (excluding the baby-killing socialist Democrats) aren't
going to stand for this claptrap. Public school graduates have never heard of "emoluments," but even they can see this is just wrong.
The Democrat Impeachment
Circus. [Scroll down] Even the New York Times has admitted that "Democrats are deviating in key
ways from the way the House launched the two presidential impeachment inquiries of the modern era." It starts with the
fact of the impeachment inquiry itself. In both the Clinton and Nixon administrations, the House Judiciary Committee's
investigation into potential impeachable offenses was given credibility by full votes in the House. House Democrats
have had no such vote. Probably because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) knows it would fail.
Turns
out Biden's family not the only one to benefit from Ukrainian fossil fuels. On Sept. 24, 2019, Speaker Nancy
Pelosi announced the official impeachment inquiry that would be led by the Intelligence Committee and Rep. Adam Schiff
(D-Calif.). At first, this was a curious decision to objective persons, since the Judiciary Committee has the authority
over this type of procedure. At the time, Pelosi indicated a threat by President Donald Trump to our national security
during the July 25 conversation between him and President Zelensky of Ukraine. She did this without the benefit of the
transcript, but she doubtless already knew much of the CIA "whistleblower's" complaint. Further, the Ukrainian
president disputes her version. But this is not the rationale for her haste to convene the investigation. It
appears that the D.C. swamp benefits another powerful family. The Biden family has gotten special treatment from
Ukrainian oil interests, and the Pelosi family has a similar advantage.
Report:
Democrats Privately Urging Pelosi to Hold Impeachment Inquiry Vote. Some House Democrats are privately calling
on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to hold a vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry to undermine Republican criticism that the
process is illegitimate, Politico reported this week. So far, Pelosi has refused to schedule a vote, arguing
that the Constitution and House rules do not require the lawmakers to do so. Meanwhile, the White House and its
Republican congressional allies contend that such a vote is necessary to legitimize the inquiry per the recognized standards of
previous impeachment efforts.
Trump:
Nancy Pelosi 'Hates the United States of America'. President Donald Trump on Friday declared during his Lake
Charles, Louisiana, re-election rally that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) "hates the United States of America."
"Nervous Nancy, I used to think she loved the country," President Trump began. "She hates the country, she wouldn't be
doing this to the country if she did," the president continued, in reference to her support for an impeachment inquiry.
Nancy
Pelosi's Faithless Impeachment. Democrats like the latest polls on impeaching President Donald Trump, some of
which show rising support. But in the long term, it is a losing issue. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made it so
when she launched an "impeachment inquiry" without waiting for the evidence. By the time Pelosi convened a fateful
meeting with House Democrats on Sep. 24, Trump had already announced he would release the transcript the next day.
Pelosi went ahead, anyway.
Pelosi
[is] allowing [a] sham process to undermine impeachment. Let me see if I understand the Democratic position on
impeachment: They have begun an impeachment inquiry because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says so. The House of
Representatives has not authorized it. Hearings are being held in secret and transcripts of interviews are not being
released. The minority party cannot ask questions, request evidence or subpoena witnesses, and witnesses have no due
process. Trump administration officials cannot have department attorneys with them. And if the Trump administration
does not surrender to their demands, they will consider the president guilty of obstruction. Are they serious? An
impeachment inquiry, in terms of House precedent, requires a full House vote. For the body to act as one-half of
one-third of the government, it must vote. Mrs. Pelosi may be the speaker, but she does not individually speak
for the entire House.
GOP
Rep. Ralph Abraham introduces resolution to expel Nancy Pelosi from House. A Louisiana Republican congressman
introduced a resolution Tuesday [10/8/2019] to expel Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., from the House of Representatives, the latest
sign that frustration in the GOP is building as Democrats continue their impeachment inquiry against President Trump.
Rep. Ralph Abraham's resolution stands no realistic chance of passing in the Democratic-controlled House. Likewise,
Republicans have argued that Democrats' potential articles of impeachment are all but certain to stall if they ever reach the Senate.
Nancy Pelosi's
Prayers. An ardent, prayerful, and moral Nancy Pelosi has been called from sitting for her holy-card portrait
to lend her aid in getting the president impeached — and the nation torn apart in the process. [...] But even as
she expends herself, Mother Teresa-like, for the good of humanity on the impeachment crusade, she can still serve other
mission fields as well. Take last week, when she fellowshipped with the saints at Planned Parenthood, telling them how
"Republicans 'ignore basic morality'" with their bans on partial-birth abortions and infanticide. Such bans are
immoral, she says, because they violate (what else?) the Constitution, and "every woman, everywhere has the constitutional
and moral right to basic reproductive health care." And what more basic reproductive health care does every pregnant mother
need than a grisly procedure that will stop her pregnancy dead — literally? It's strange that 93% of OB-GYNs
so immorally fail to provide their patients with this most basic reproductive health procedure. Are they all Republicans?
Why
can't Dems treat Trump as fairly as Republicans did Bill Clinton? Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a clear duty to call
an immediate House vote to authorize an official impeachment inquiry — if she dares. The White House
informed her today that the Executive Branch won't play along with the lawless "inquiry" that House Democrats have been
engaged in — which President Trump has quite fairly termed "a totally compromised kangaroo court." White
House counsel Pat Cipollone's letter to Pelosi spells out the problems. While the Constitution clearly gives the House
the power to begin impeachment proceedings, it does not give the speaker the privilege of declaring them all by herself.
If
the House Won't Vote, Impeachment Inquiry Is Just a Democratic Stunt. "The House of Representatives ... shall have the
sole Power of Impeachment." It's right there in black-and-white: In article I, section 2, clause 5, our
Constitution vests the entirety of the power to call for removal of the president of the United States in a single body —
the House. Not in the Speaker of the House. In the House of Representatives. The institution, not one of its
members. To be sure, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a very powerful government official: second in the line of succession to the
presidency; arguably, the most powerful member of Congress. [...] But she does not have the power to impeach on her own.
Trump
accuses Pelosi of 'treason' and calls for her to be 'immediately impeached'. President Trump accused House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi of treason and called for her, along with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, to be
impeached. [...] In addition to calling on Schiff to resign, the president has accused the congressman of helping to write an
intelligence community whistleblower's complaint about the call, which paved the way for House Democrats to launch an
impeachment inquiry into Trump, after news broke that the unnamed CIA officer spoke with House Intelligence staff before
filing the complaint.
Russiagate
Gets a Bad and Frightening Facelift. The Democrat's impeachment "inquiry" is not about anything Trump did or
didn't do. Like the anti-climactic Russian soap opera that came before it, it's about discrediting President Trump
before the 2020 election. Their last attempt failed; unashamed and undeterred, they're giving it another shot.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) deserves some credit. She played the waiting game. She knew that
the Russia hoax was a loser, and she has been rewarded for her patience. Russiagate was a long, miserable war of
attrition that ended in spectacular embarrassment. Robert Mueller's sphinxlike pronouncements muddled what was an
impossibly byzantine tale from the beginning, and by the end of the saga the Democrats were demoralized and resigned to
beating Trump at the ballot box.
Pelosi
Stopped In South Carolina For a Fundraiser But Was Greeted By Massive Crowd of Trump Supporters. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Friday [10/4/2019] arrived in Greenville, South Carolina for a speech at a fundraiser hosted by the South Carolina
Democratic Party. What Pelosi probably wasn't expecting though was the number of President Donald Trump's supporters who would be
there to welcome her to the Palmetto State.
Nancy
in the swamp of despond. It's becoming clearer that Nancy Pelosi's half-clever ploy of unilaterally declaring
that an impeachment "inquiry" was in progress is backfiring in a big way. At first, it seemed that this was a smart
move — by simply stating an inquiry was in motion without going through the necessary formalities such as a full
House vote, Pelosi was calming the crazies of her caucus (such as the Squad), while leaving herself plenty of maneuvering
room to divert or back out should things start to deteriorate. But now the pterodactyls have come home to roost, and
the drawbacks of her game have become evident.
Moral
Equivalence in the 'Unilateral' Impeachment Inquiry. In his incisive legal analysis, Andrew McCarthy notes how
the absence of a formal vote to commence the impeachment inquiry and the failure (at present) to issue subpoenas would invoke
due process safeguards for the president, his administration, and other potential witnesses and/or custodians of sought after
materials. He is correct, but if one doubts him, there is a more elementary political rule of thumb to follow: if
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) thought taking a vote to commence a formal impeachment inquiry was good for her Democratic
caucus, there would have been a vote. No matter how the Speaker publicly rationalizes the absence of a vote (and
accompanying subpoenas), her caucus' inaction speaks louder than her words.
Nancy
Pelosi's Son Was Exec At Gas Company That Did Business In Ukraine. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's son Paul Pelosi Jr.
visited Ukraine in 2017 to meet with government officials in connection to a business initiative. Now, unearthed
records reveal that Paul Pelosi Jr. was an executive of a gas industry company that did business in Ukraine —
and his mother Nancy Pelosi was featured in one of the company's promotional videos.
Nancy
Pelosi On Schiff's Made Up Trump Phone Call: 'He Did Not Make It Up'. Nancy Pelosi tried to throw a lifeline to
Rep. Adam Schiff, insisting the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee "did not" make up a phone call between
President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Schiff undeniably fabricated quotes as he led off a hearing
with acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire last week. ABC News' anchor George Stephanopoulus even
confronted Schiff over the incident, playing the clip of the disgraceful display and stating, "That was you making up
dialogue, putting it in the president's mouth." The California Democrat has since claimed he was simply engaged in a parody.
Impeachment is the Democrats' entire political agenda. Nancy
Pelosi thinks she can work with Trump on Dems' political agenda while working to impeach him. Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., thinks it's possible for her and her Democratic colleagues to work with President Donald Trump on a long
list of political agenda items, despite House Democrats' latest impeachment efforts. At a Capitol Hill press conference
alongside House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Tuesday [10/1/2019], Pelosi was asked how she plans
to work with the president on Democratic agenda items like prescription drug costs, trade, and gun control while conducting
impeachment efforts against the man.
Democrats'
Trump Impeachment Push Is a Bonanza for Republicans. As Napoleon Bonaparte once said, never interfere with your
enemy when he is making a mistake. [...] The "new" Democratic Party is steering the impeachment ship, and the "old" Democrats
must aid and abet if they wish to survive politically. Pelosi knows that an impeachment conviction in the U.S. Senate
is highly unlikely, so the only logical conclusion is that she's petrified of the Bolshevik Democrats in her party.
9
Reasons Why Impeachment Is a Fraud. [Reason #5] Pelosi rushed to judgment. The California Democrat
announced that she was authorizing an impeachment inquiry prior to reviewing any evidence whatsoever, including interviewing
witnesses or examining documents in support of an impeachment, including the transcript of the phone conversation. On
Tuesday, Sept. 24, Pelosi announced the impeachment inquiry in response to mounting pressure from fellow House Democrats,
although she was fully aware that the president was considering the release of the transcript. The following day,
Wednesday the 25th, the president declassified the transcript of his phone call and authorized its release.
Washington
Post Fantasizes About President Pelosi. After Trump took office, liberals fantasized about Trump getting
impeached and then having Hillary, through a rather convoluted series of events, installed as president. Harvard
University professor Lawrence Lessig even laid out a step-by-step process for that to happen. Trump would, of course,
either resign or be impeached and removed from office, after which Pence would assume office and immediately resign. At
the time, Paul Ryan was speaker of the House, and he was next in line for the presidency, but for some bizarre reason would
choose Hillary for vice president. The circumstances were beyond absurd, but the left has a new, but similar
fantasy: Impeach Trump and Pence, and Nancy Pelosi, through presidential succession, becomes president.
In
Trump impeachment, 'no one is above the law' could backfire on Democrats. "No one is above the law," said House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she announced the Democratic effort to impeach President Trump over the Ukraine matter. The phrase
has become a Democratic mantra in the new impeachment push. But it could, in the end, serve to highlight the weakness of
the Democratic strategy. [...] Democrats might better say, "No president is above impeachment," which lacks punch but is more
accurate. Doing so, however, would emphasize the political nature of the battle and could make it more difficult for
Democrats to win broad support for removing Trump. So they say, "No one is above the law." But what, exactly,
does that mean?
Why
Nancy Pelosi Now Supports Impeachment Even Though It's Insane. The latest Ukraine-related non-scandal is almost
irrelevant for its lack of substance. This is not about substance. This is about Pelosi losing control of her
caucus should she continue to resist impeachment, and Pelosi sensing a looming electoral disaster of monumental proportions
should impeachment be launched outside the parameters she defines.
Pelosi Suggests Losing
The House Might Be Worth The Price If Trump Is Impeached. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Saturday night
that she is willing to lose the House of Representatives to Republicans if it means ousting President Donald Trump. "It
doesn't matter," Pelosi said in response to a question from Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith about whether she is worried how an
impeachment inquiry will impact the 2020 House elections. "Our first responsibility is to protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States." She made the comments during an an interview at Tribune Fest, a festival in Texas
highlighting newsmakers.
The Editor says...
Think about it, Nancy. Impeaching Trump would leave you with a Republican majority in
the House, and President Mike Pence. How well do you think that would work for the baby-killing socialist party?
Happy
retirement, Speaker Pelosi. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has valiantly fought the war on crazy long enough.
She tried her best to be the sane, adult centrist in her party — no easy task for a lifelong politician from San
Francisco. In the end, it was too much. She has given up the fight. The inmates have taken over the
asylum. Impeachment fever has a chokehold on the Democratic Party. For Republican political operatives hoping to
win back the House, this is good news. They need to flip 20 House seats next year to gain back the majority.
Among those the GOP has targeted for flipping are the 31 sitting Democrats who represent districts that voted for President
Trump in 2016.
The
Marxists Running the Democrat Party Today Lust for Absolute Power. Tucker Carlson opened his show on Friday
night with the latest updates on the Democrat-media coup against Donald Trump. In his open he played a clip of Speaker
Nancy Pelosi now accusing Russia of being involved in the Democrats' latest made-up Trump scandal. Of course, Pelosi
and Democrats have absolutely zero evidence to push forward this theory or this impeachment scandal. And, they
certainly have no evidence that Russia is involved in anyway. But as Tucker noted, Democrats no longer deal in
facts. They deal in emotions and a blood-lust for power.
Will
this go down as 'the mother of all traps'? Let's hope that President Trump starts tweeting and calling on
Democrats to start the impeachment process. It all starts with a floor vote, and no such thing is in the horizon.
The Democrats jumped the gun a bit here. Speaker Pelosi should have have waited for the evidence.
Pelosi:
Abortion Bans 'Ignore Basic Morality'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday evening the bans on abortion
that have passed in many states "ignore basic morality." "Today, as we know, an all-out assault on women's reproductive
freedoms is sweeping the nation, as Republicans seek to impose abortion bans on millions of women in dozens of states," Pelosi
said as she addressed attendees at the 50th anniversary dinner of abortion political action and advocacy organization NARAL.
Pelosi's Six-Committee
Impeachment Investigation. On the surface, the impeachment investigations of Nixon and Trump are quite
similar. In each case, the president was already under immense pressure, with a partisan media in full pursuit.
When each story broke, there was dominating, explosive coverage — with every talking head predicting imminent
disaster — that goaded the Congress into taking immediate, forceful action. Of course, with Nixon in
particular, the stories seemed to pan out. As things now stand, that does not appear to be the case with Trump.
[...] This much seems true: time and the tide of public opinion are simply not on Pelosi's side, and her six-committee
approach will confuse rather than educate.
Russian
Foreign Ministry: Pelosi Is Making U.S. 'Laughing Stock of the World'. Following the White House release
of a memo on President Trump's July 25 phone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart, Russia's foreign ministry
spokeswoman said Wednesday Democratic leaders were making the U.S. the "laughing stock of the world." She also suggested
mockingly which confidential U.S. documents should be made public next. "I've read the transcript of the telephone
conversation between Trump and [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky, which Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy
Pelosi found reason enough to launch a procedure of impeachment against her president," spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on
her Facebook account, according to the TASS news agency. "Is it the U.S. Democrats' job to make their country a
laughing stock of the world?" she asked, then added that that is "precisely what Mrs. Pelosi has done."
Watch:
Pelosi's Words About Impeachment In 1998 Come Back To Haunt Her. Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's words
from 1998 about the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton are being used against her now as many critics are calling
her a hypocrite in light of her decision this week to push for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. "Today, the
Republican majority is not judging the president with fairness, but impeaching him with a vengeance," Pelsoi said on December 18,
1998. "In the investigation of the president, fundamental principles which Americans hold dear — privacy, fairness,
checks and balances — have been seriously violated. And why Because we are here today because the Republicans in
the House are paralyzed with hatred of President Clinton. And until the Republicans free themselves of this hatred, our
country will suffer."
Pelosi orders impeachment probe:
'No one is above the law'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched a formal impeachment inquiry against President
Donald Trump on Tuesday, yielding to mounting pressure from fellow Democrats and plunging a deeply divided nation into an
election year clash between Congress and the commander in chief.
The Editor says...
No one is above what law? What exactly did President Trump do that warrants impeachment?
Former CIA Officer:
'Pelosi Launched The Titanic Tonight Into A Gigantic Iceberg In November 2020'. A former CIA officer who is a
self-described Democrat compared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's impeachment inquiry to the Titanic being launched "into a giant
iceberg in 2020." Speaking on Tuesday night's [9/24/2019] edition of "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Bryan Dean Wright —
introduced as a lifelong Democrat — was asked by Fox News host Tucker Carlson if impeachment was a "wise idea."
[Video clip]
Pelosi
announces formal impeachment inquiry. After meeting with her Democratic caucus, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
announced Tuesday [9/24/2019] the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump's alleged efforts to pressure
Ukraine to investigate the business dealings of former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden. Pelosi said "the
president must be held accountable" for a "betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and the
betrayal of the integrity of our elections."
Pelosi's
dramatic impeachment move is really just another stall. By announcing that the impeachment inquiry is now
"official," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave the nation (or at least the national media) loads of drama Tuesday
evening [9/24/2019] — but without actually doing anything. House Judiciary chief Jerry Nadler has already been
calling his committee's work an "official" impeachment inquiry, after all; now the speaker says the same. But she's still not
allowing any actual votes on the House floor about it. All she's "done" is instruct six committee chairmen, including Nadler,
to pull together all the dirt they've got. That's apparently to go to Judiciary, which then might eventually vote on whether
to recommend the full House vote on taking some next step.
Pelosi's
impeachment flip-flop changes everything. For months, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned itchy Democrats against
the perils of impeachment. She should have stuck to her guns. In surrendering to the radicals and the noisy
drumbeat of their media handmaidens, Pelosi established a formal investigative process involving the top legislative
committees. Yet she did something else, too, something far more monumental: She effectively committed House Dems
to impeaching President Trump.
Pelosi
Formally Announces Trump Impeachment Inquiry. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is formally signing off on an
impeachment inquiry into President Donald J. Trump after he spoke to the Ukrainians, reportedly trying to coerce the
political leadership there to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden on corruption charges. This was dredged up
after a whistleblower came forward to the intelligence community inspector general, though it's based on anonymous
second-hand sources. The whistleblower didn't even listen in on the calls, and it's not the intelligence community's
job to snitch on the president. The president can say whatever he wants to another foreign leader. Period.
And now, before anyone has read the transcript of the call, the House Democrats are launching a full-blown impeachment
push. It's not shocking. This was going to happen eventually.
Meeks:
Pelosi Wants Trump 'in Jail,' Jailing Trump Only Way to Show We're Fighting for Rule of Law. On Friday's
[9/20/2019] broadcast of MSNBC's "The Beat," Representative Gregory Meeks (D-NY) stated that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) wants President Trump "in jail," and that putting President Trump in jail is the only way to show that the rule of law
is being fought for. Meeks said, "Speaker Pelosi, she's singularly focused to get this — she wants him in
jail, where he really [belongs]. That's what her focus — she wants — Donald Trump, and if you look
at all the things that he's done, it's almost if it was any other American, they would be in jail. And she is focused
singularly."
The Editor says...
Ordinarily the "rule of law" includes due process, as in, proof of a crime, trial by jury, etc.
Pelosi:
C'mon, let's pass some laws that would let the president be indicted. This is ridiculous but it's also the
logical conclusion to Pelosi's extreme aversion to impeachment. What could be nicer for a House Speaker who doesn't
want to risk an impeachment backlash at the polls than handing off the responsibility for ousting the president to the
Department of Justice? Let federal prosecutors decide what to do! Leave Democrats alone to chatter amiably about
climate change and what not. That was the whole charm of the Mueller investigation from a Democratic perspective,
no? Granted, the House remained charged with taking any formal action against the president, but that action would have
been much safer politically if it had had the former endorsement of Robert Mueller.
Pelosi
Calls For New Laws So Sitting Presidents Can Be Indicted. At nearly 80 years old, Nancy Pelosi is a corrupt,
career politician and poster-child for term limits. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in an interview with NPR on
Friday that Congress should change the law so a sitting president can be indicted. [...] Pelosi, who refuses to accept the
results of the 2016 presidential election, attacked Trump and accused him of abusing the Constitution.
Nancy
Pelosi uses air-quotes to banter with reporters about what's in Donald Trump's 'mind' on gun background checks.
Speaking during her weekly press conference, Pelosi told reporters that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was wrong to
delay acting on gun control legislation while he waits for the White House to signal what would be acceptable to Trump.
Asked what features of gun reform she thinks the president is weighing, she shot back: 'You want me to tell you what goes on
in the president's "mind"?' Pelosi made air-quotes with the fingers of both hands while saying the word 'mind,' drawing
laughs from the room.
Pelosi
Unloads On Nadler; Tells Him To Drop 'Moby Dick'-Like Impeachment Obsession. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler last week over his 'Moby Dick'-like obsession with impeaching President Trump,
days before Trump's 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski wiped the floor with Congressional Democrats during a contentious
five-hour hearing on Tuesday [9/17/2019] in front of Nadler's panel.
Mainstream
media savaged Nadler's impeachment hearing questioning of Corey Lewandowski (with an assist from Nancy Pelosi).
The mainstream media chorus turned on their Democrat allies over the questioning of Corey Lewandowski by Chairman Nadler's
House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. The breadth and depth of the rare media attack on Democrats needs explanation.
We are well accustomed to the mainstream media following nearly identical talking points, so the question becomes: who
sent the signal that beating up the impeachment hearings was the order of the day? The most obvious candidate is Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, the highest-ranking elected Democrat, who understands that an impeachment circus could lose many of the seats
Democrats turned over in 2018 and cost the Democrats their House majority and her speakership.
Nancy
Pelosi Running For Another Term As House Speaker, Even Though She Turns 80 Next Year. Isn't it time for Nancy
Pelosi to retire yet? Millions of Americans are told by their employers every year that it's time for them to leave
their jobs, that they have gotten too old, and that someone younger is taking their position. Why doesn't this ever
seem to apply to people in Washington?
Pelosi
walks out on press: I'm done talking about impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shut down press
questions about whether the House is conducting a formal impeachment inquiry as some lawmakers claim. [...] Pelosi's
frustration led her to walk away from the podium, cutting her press conference short after calling for the media to focus on
the Senate GOP's refusal to take up a Democratic proposal to expand background checks for gun purchases. "Why is it
that you are hung up with a word over here when lives are at stake over there?" the California Democrat said, walking out of
the room.
Pelosi:
'August Jobs Report Offers Little Comfort in an Economy Faltering'. The U.S. economy is "faltering," House
Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared Friday [9/6/2019] in response to the U.S. Labor Department's August report
revealing that a record number of people were employed last month, while the unemployment rate held at 3.7% and fell to
record lows for blacks and Hispanics. "The August jobs report offers little comfort in an economy faltering under the
Trump Administration's reckless agenda," Speaker Pelosi says in a statement posted on her website.
The Editor says...
[#1] The economy was "faltering" for the entire eight years of the incompetent Barack H. Obama regime, and no Democrat
would admit it. Nor was any criticism permitted. [#2] The leader of the Impeachment Party has no room to
talk about a "reckless agenda."
The
suicide of the House is complete. Over time, the House has had one major constitutional duty: the
budget. All spending and taxation bills must originate in the House. But in all likelihood, the decline of the
House started in 1995, when the newly elected Republican Congress under Newt Gingrich caved in to media pressure to give Bill
Clinton his bloated budget. Since then, no House has even attempted to control the deficits or the debt. For
eight years under George W. Bush, the rationale was to fund the War on Terror. Then, under Barack Obama, the Democrat
House had no intention of dealing with the deficits or the debt. For eight years, under both Democrats and Republicans,
nothing was done to recapture the budget process. Continuing resolutions were the rule of the day. Enter Nancy
Pelosi, whose Congress openly and energetically vowed to do utterly nothing in the way of actual legislation, but instead to
investigate and otherwise obstruct President Donald Trump. This marked the final transition of the House into irrelevance.
Throwing
Punches for the Children — If This is Your Mantra, Zip It About Trump. Trump is just a callous and unfiltered version
of the "sophisticated" slander the left has been lobbing against the right for years through a corrupt and complicit mainstream media.
For proof of that, we could start scrolling through the endless accusations of the last few decades: centrist John McCain was called a
racist, the affable George W. Bush was tagged a bigoted war criminal, mild-mannered Mitt Romney was labeled a tax cheat, felon and
murderer. And this wasn't done by fringe activists — these were libelous claims published by mainstream media organizations
coordinating with their ideological allies in the Democrat Party. But why turn to the pages of history to prove what you can
observe right in front of your face? Is there any statement that better typifies the state of political dialogue in 2019 than
what the Democrat's chosen national leader and spokeswoman, Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, said last week?
Political
Forecast: Stormy Weather Ahead. Telegraphing the hard slog ahead, Speaker Nancy Pelosi joins others in
her party suggesting threats of violence are called for: "So you have to be ready to take a punch. You have to be
ready to take a punch," Pelosi said. "And therefore, you have to be ready to throw a punch, for the children.
Throw a punch for the children!" She said this in an atmosphere where anti-Republican violence escalates. Given
Bernie Bro James Hodgkinson's shooting of Representative Steve Scalise and his attempted murder of the congressional
Republican leadership to the almost daily thuggery against conservatives on college campuses, in restaurants, and Portland,
her language is certainly as incendiary as that of Maxine Waters' harangue that "cabinet members and highly visible Trump
enablers should expect harassment at restaurants, gas stations, shopping places, and even their homes until they change their
immigration policy." The continued harassment and violence, of course, is unreported or underreported by the media.
Why
Pelosi is surrendering the Democratic Party to the Jew-haters. A historic transition of the American political
landscape is underway, as the older of our two parties is embracing antisemitism and moving away from support of Israel,
driven by the personal ambition of a craven politician clinging to power. Nancy Pelosi's desire to remain Speaker of
the House is why she is surrendering the Democrats' party to the Jew-haters, with the highly visible, openly antisemitic
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib becoming the real face of her party.
The leader of the Abortion Party pretends to know what God wants. Pelosi:
'This Planet Is God's Creation and We Have a Moral Responsibility to be Good Stewards of It'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi gave an address to the Ghanaian Parliament on Wednesday where she declared the "climate crisis" the "existential
threat of our time" and said we have "a moral responsibility to be good stewards" of a planet that is "God's creation."
"To fully achieve environmental justice, we must combat the climate crisis — which is the existential threat of
our time," Pelosi said. "And it is a moral decision," Pelosi said. "If you believe, as I do, and I believe the
speaker does, that this planet is God's creation, and we have a moral responsibility to be good stewards of it, then we have
to protect the planet.
The Editor says...
If Mike Pence had uttered the same words, the newspapers would have been screaming about a theocracy the next day. There is no
climate crisis. There is no extraordinary global warming. There is no need to curtail the use of hydrocarbons or to avoid
the production of carbon dioxide. If you turn off your television (permanently), you will have no perception that this year's weather
is any different from last year's. Global average temperatures go up and down at the rate of one or two degrees per century.
That is not an "existential threat."
Nancy
Pelosi: Supreme Court Allowing Trump to 'Steal Military Funds' for 'Wasteful, Ineffective' Wall. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) accused the Supreme Court of allowing the Trump administration to "steal military funds to spend
on a wasteful, ineffective border wall" in reaction to Friday's [7/26/2019] ruling, which allows the administration to transfer
defense funds to begin the construction of the border wall. The Supreme Court lifted an injunction Friday [7/26/2019],
giving the Trump administration the green light to transfer funds from the Defense Department to begin the construction of
the border wall, per the president's emergency declaration.

Since when does Pelosi care about wasteful spending, or about providing plenty of money for the military?
Trump
and America Vs. the Commie Quad Squad. In one sense, the Commie Quad Squad (CQS) has done us all a favor by
flushing out the extremism of the Democratic Party for conspicuous public display. House Leader Nancy Pelosi is quaking
in her boots, realizing that it is getting increasingly difficult to hide her party's radicalism from American voters, many
of whom still cling to the fantasy that the Democratic Party is predominantly pro-American. Pelosi at least has the
sense to know this extremism won't play well in national elections — even today — and she is struggling
to cover it up. Her feud with the CQS, to be sure, is about control of the party, but it's also her effort to
allay Americans' fears that her party has lost its mind — and moral compass. But the women of the CQS don't
care. They are so adamantly against the America that you and I grew up to love that they will not contain their
animus. And they're arrogant enough to believe that a majority of Americans shares their antipathy.
This is a confused old woman. Pelosi:
'The President Wants to Make America Great Again... What Does That Mean? What is America?' House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) explained at her press conference on Wednesday what she believes America is about. "The
president wants to make America great again. We all do," she said. "What does that mean? What is America?"
she asked. "So many times we've come together and we've talked about America."
The
Anti-Trump House Democrat Resolution. Speaker Pelosi got so carried away defending her "sisters" and condemning
the president's tweets as "racist" that she broke House protocol and sparked a floor fight. Her fellow Democrats saved
her from a ruling that would have barred her from speaking the rest of the day. They also kept her "racist" reference
to the president's tweets in the record. The final resolution, entitled "H. Res. 489 — Condemning
President Trump's racist comments directed at Members of Congress," passed along largely partisan lines by a vote of 240-187.
Bedlam
on House Floor: Pelosi Storms Off amid Boos from Members. The speaker railed against [President] Trump
during Tuesday's [7/16/2019] debate on the House floor, promising that her caucus would continue to respond to the
"disrespect" aimed at the fundamental diversity of America. She accused the president of legitimizing and increasing
"fear" and "hatred" against people of color and attempted to shame lawmakers who are dismissing the Democrats' politically
fueled resolution.
Floor
fight erupts as Pelosi speaks ahead of vote to condemn Trump's 'racist' comments. Escalating tensions on Capitol
Hill erupted into a floor fight in the House of Representatives on Tuesday afternoon [7/17/2019], as Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke
in favor of a resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump — and Pelosi's words were eventually ruled
out of order, as House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Democrat, announced the decision from the House parliamentarian.
"The words used by the gentlewoman from California contained an accusation of racist behavior on the part of the President,"
Hoyer said, in a decision that technically banned Pelosi from speaking on the House floor for a brief period of time.
"The words should not be used in debate."
House
divided: Vote temporarily halted after Pelosi calls Trump comments 'racist' on the floor. The Democrat-controlled
House of Representatives passed a resolution on Tuesday night condemning President Donald Trump for his "racist comments" about four
Democratic congresswomen of color. The resolution passed largely along party lines — 235 Democrats joined by only four
Republican supported the measure — following hours of back-and-forth and gamesmanship between Republicans and Democrats,
which included a GOP objection to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's remarks about Trump and whether she would be allowed to keep speaking
on the floor.
Democrats
Find Nancy Pelosi Broke House Rules by Calling Trump 'Racist'. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was
found to have broken the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives by calling President Donald Trump "racist" on the floor
Tuesday, but Democrats voted to keep her remarks in the record and restore her speaking privileges. Pelosi had
delivered a statement calling the president racist as a prelude to voting on a House resolution to that effect.
Democrats
in Freefall — Congress Collapses — Chaos Ensues. The debt ceiling needs to be
raised. Spending appropriations bills need to be resolved. Immigration laws need to be fixed. The border is
in crisis. Infrastructure spending needs to be resolved. The USMCA needs to be ratified. Forget all those
issues that matter. [W]hat does House Speaker Nancy Pelosi do? Why, stop everything so she can advance a resolution
to prove her squad doesn't like President Trump.
Democrats
Hold a Terrible Hand of Race Cards. Pelosi has been speaker for six months and Trump is still president, not
resigned or impeached, despite two years of promises from CNN, MSNBC, and many members of Congress. Pelosi hasn't
passed the Green New Deal, student loan forgiveness, a 70-plus percent top tax rate, reparations for anyone not a white
heterosexual Christian male, or Medicare for all. Times a wastin' with the Democrat House is still searching for
evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.
Trump
forces Nancy Pelosi to defend the very leftists trying to oust her. At first glance, it looked like maybe a
blunder, some political overplaying of the hand, the Sunday move by President Trump that could finally make the internally
warring Democrats circle their fractious wagons and unite. It certainly was politically risky. [...] Trump was horning
in on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's public catfight with four far-left fellow Democratic representatives after one of them,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was last seen calling Pelosi racist. Pelosi had merely told the "squad" to keep their
internal party disagreements with others on the inside. They ignored that and whipped out the race card, signaling that
Pelosi is powerless, and they were trying to take her down.
The leader of the Abortion Party suddenly knows a lot about Christianity and mercy. Nancy Pelosi
Suggests That Jesus Is Not On The Side Of ICE Raids. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi used her Sunday
Gospel reading to take aim at President Donald Trump's planned ICE raids, appearing to suggest that Jesus would not be on the
side of law enforcement in this case. "It should be a sign to us that today's Catholic Gospel reading is the Good
Samaritan, where Jesus teaches us to love our neighbors as ourselves and treat them with mercy," Pelosi tweeted.
"Trump's ICE raids today tear families apart — the opposite of mercy."
Pelosi vs.
AOC: It's a Beautiful Thing. Nancy is getting a taste of her own medicine here. If she were capable of
learning a lesson, this is what it would be: The leftist ideologies of intersectionality, critical race theory,
whiteness studies and miscellaneous other faculty-lounge thought experiments will tell you that you — a white
lady — no matter how dedicated you've been to the cause, are not capable of adequately representing it because
your whiteness, and even female gender, don't afford you the requisite life experience to fully get it.
Pelosi
Rejects U.S. Sovereignty — U.S. Immigration Subject to Laws of "A Global Society". In a stunning
press conference today [7/11/2019] U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explains why she she has taken no action to curb the
illegal immigration influx into the U.S. While explaining why she will not allow congress to debate, change or modify
U.S. immigration laws, Pelosi outlines how the United States is part of a global society, without borders and without any
sovereign right to impede the "human society" from entering our nation. Therefore, according to her outlook and
worldview, U.S. politicians have no right to stop any migration movement.
Pelosi
Advises Targets of ICE Deportations on How to Avoid Arrest. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told illegal immigrants
who are subject to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations that they can refuse to open the door for agents if
they do not have a warrant signed by a judge. Pelosi's advice comes after reports that the immigration enforcement
operation is scheduled to begin over the weekend. "An ICE deportation warrant is not the same as a deportation warrant.
If that is the only document ICE brings to a home raid, agents do not have the legal right to enter a home," Pelosi said
during a press conference on July 11.

Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez Calls Pelosi Racist: 'Singling Out ... Women of Color'. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
accused Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of racism on Wednesday [7/10/2019], telling the Washington Post that
Pelosi was guilty of "the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color." Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez —
also known as "AOC" — have feuded ever since the "democratic socialist" newcomer upset incumbent Rep. Joe
Crowley (D-NY), a member of the party's leadership team under Pelosi, in last year's primary race.
Pelosi plays race
card in census flap. To get this week off to a nation-splitting start, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,
said this on Monday about President Trump's efforts to ask a citizenship question on the 2020 census: "You know ... his
hat? 'Make America White Again.' They want to make sure that people, certain people, are counted." Wow!
How insulting. Is Pelosi saying that only white people count as citizens?
Pelosi
says Trump is trying to 'Make America White Again' with census question. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday
[7/8/2019] blasted President Trump's push for a citizenship question on the 2020 census as an effort to "Make America White
Again" — claiming, "it's not what our founders had in mind." "They want to make sure that people, certain
people, are counted," Pelosi said at a press conference in San Francisco that focused on election security. "Just their
people vote and not the general population," said the Democratic lawmaker. "That's why they're fighting the census."
ILLEGAL means nothing to Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi:
'It Shouldn't Be a Crime' to Cross Into U.S. Illegally. The Speaker of the House of Representatives on Thursday
[6/27/2019] said it shouldn't be a crime to cross into the United States illegally. "It shouldn't be a crime to have a
visa — to have a status violation. If somebody commits a crime or is guilty of a crime, and they're in our
country, prosecutorial discretion would warrant that they, or justify that they be sent away," Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) told a news conference. "But you just cannot say — and there's a disagreement — that
anybody coming across the border is breaking the law. Not until there's been a determination as to whether they can
stay or not. But just because they're coming across the border, they don't."
Pelosi
Goes On Record, Says 'What's the Point?' of Enforcing American Immigration Laws. If you're in America
illegally, Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) doesn't think you should be deported. This is how radical Democrats have become.
Never forget: it's all very strategic. Dems know that if they keep illegals in the U.S. they are likely to earn
their votes, therefore keeping them in power.
Pelosi
On Enforcing Immigration Laws In U.S.: 'What's The Point?' Speaking at an event in Elmhurst, New York, Pelosi
attacked President Donald Trump over the raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers that were scheduled to
happen over the weekend but were delayed after sensitive information was leaked to the public about the locations of the
raids. "When I saw that the president was going to have these raids, I mean it was so appalling," Pelosi said.
"It's outside the circle of civilized human behavior to just be kicking down doors, splitting up families, and the rest of
that, in addition to the injustices that are happening at the border. We have legislation to go forward to address
those needs, but in terms of interior enforcement, what's the — what's the point?" [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi Reveals Democrat Fraud Over Mueller Report Drama. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just announced she'll be
taking a look at the Mueller Report for the first time. That's right. She's never actually reviewed the
report. Think about that. After months of allowing House Democrats to cry "Impeachment!" against a sitting
president over allegations he did something (we're still not sure what any of them are talking about) and raising
millions of campaign dollars from low-IQ anti-Trump voters with promises of "making Trump pay" Speaker Pelosi just admitted
none of them have actually read the Mueller Report that was made available to them months ago by Attorney General William Barr.
Pelosi
blows off AOC 'concentration camp' remarks. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi brushed off comments made by
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez equating border facilities for migrants to "concentration camps" by saying she wasn't "up
to date" on what the New York freshman said. "These members of Congress, they come to represent their districts and
their point of view and they take responsibility for the statements that they make," Pelosi told reporters at a Christian
Science Monitor breakfast when asked specifically about AOC's comments and whether the speaker had talked to her young
members about the "power of their words." "I'm not up to date with her most recent remarks," Pelosi
added. "I saw them on the news, but I haven't spoken to her about that."
Pelosi
Thinks Americans Are Too Dumb to Understand Impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi thinks the American people
are too dumb to understand impeachment. According to the Daily Beast, Pelosi expressed her condescending opinion about
the intelligence of U.S. voters during a closed-door meeting with other House Democrats, whom she is frantically trying to
dissuade from impeachment proceedings. In an apparent effort to dampen the enthusiasm of members who represent
heavily-liberal districts in which support for impeachment is uniquely strong, she warned them that their constituents don't
really comprehend what they're demanding. While that's undoubtedly true of the far-left Democrat base, Pelosi contended
that the rest of the country is equally clueless.
Poor
Nervous Nancy Pelosi Wants Trump In Jail While He Keeps Winning. Alan Dershowitz criticized Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi after she reportedly said she wants to see President Trump in prison. "As a liberal Democrat, I am
appalled at Nancy Pelosi," Dershowitz, a civil liberties advocate and former Harvard law professor, said Thursday [6/6/2019]
on Fox News. "The idea of her weaponizing the criminal justice system and calling for the imprisonment of the President
of the United States without him being charged with any crime, without him being charged with any impeachable offense.
It's just outrageous." The idea of the most important Democrat in the United States calling for the imprisonment of a
president is such core violation of civil liberties, the rule of law, and America justice. She ought to be absolutely
ashamed of herself," he said.
Nancy
Pelosi needs to stop her endless war against Trump. [Scroll down] The majority of voters understand that
Mueller had the time, investigators, and incentive to find any dirt he could. His probe was vast and expensive —
he summoned 500 witnesses, issued 2,800 subpoenas and used grand juries and heavily armed agents in search warrant raids.
If Trump had broken the law, Mueller would have found it. Forget the noise and legalisms: in a binary world, the
president was cleared. So it's past time for the left to get over 2016 and accept that Trump was legitimately elected and
is entitled to the full powers of the presidency. Her party's continual denial of that reality is the dry tinder that
makes Pelosi's gamble so reckless. Mueller was their best shot and to talk of prison now smacks of third-world countries
where there is no peaceful transfer of power.
Famed
Liberal Attorney Alan Dershowitz Says Nancy Pelosi "Sounds Like Stalin." Alan Dershowitz has been a Democrat
all his life but these days he openly admits it's getting harder and harder to recognize today's Democrat Party —
a party that is no longer liberal as much as it is frighteningly authoritarian where radicals demand all others believe as
they do and threaten to throw people in prison because they don't agree with their ideas.
Trump
is the Democrats' white whale, and Pelosi is Ahab. [Scroll down] Wednesday [6/5/2019], it was Nancy
Pelosi claiming she "does not want to impeach President Trump, she wants to see him in jail." There are no words that
adequately describe the malevolence of this horrid woman. To call her Machiavellian is too kind. [...] Does Pelosi feel
any pangs of regret for her part in all this? Not likely. She is a power broker, first and foremost. She
has become fabulously wealthy as a member of the House, like Feinstein and the rest of the Left. Her own city is a
disaster of monumental proportions. She could not care less; she does absolutely nothing to fix the situation.
She makes it catastrophically worse by encouraging unrestricted illegal immigration. She and her crowd hate Trump so
much that they are willing to undo America as founded. Trump is their white whale, and the whale won. Pelosi with
her irresponsible rhetoric about wanting to see Trump in jail is exactly the insane and obsessive Ahab.
Nancy
Pelosi tells top Democrats that they should be focused on criminal prosecution of the president rather than impeachment.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly told top Democrats that she wants to see President Donald Trump 'in prison'. Pelosi's
remarks came in a meeting on Tuesday with top House Democrats, including Judiciary Committee chair Jerrold Nadler, who is aggressively
pushing for impeachment, Politico reported. 'I don't want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison,' Pelosi said
in the closed-door meeting, multiple Democratic sources familiar with the meeting told the outlet.
Pelosi tells Dems
she wants to see Trump 'in prison'. Speaker Nancy Pelosi told senior Democrats that she'd like to see President
Donald Trump "in prison" as she clashed with House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler in a meeting on Tuesday night over whether
to launch impeachment proceedings. Pelosi met with Nadler (D-N.Y.) and several other top Democrats who are aggressively
pursuing investigations against the president, according to multiple sources. Nadler and other committee leaders have
been embroiled in a behind-the-scenes turf battle for weeks over ownership of the Democrats' sprawling investigation into Trump.

Empty
words: Why Pelosi is suddenly saying she wants Trump 'in prison'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,
told senior Democrats this week that she does not want to impeach President Trump, she wants to see him "in prison,"
according to reports. [...] Pelosi's alleged remarks, which were reported first by Politico, are part of a carefully planted
narrative that allows her to look tough on Trump without actually having to do anything about him. The idea is to tell
the Democratic base that Pelosi is "with them," without also jeopardizing her party's chances in the upcoming elections.
Impeachment
Fever: Democrats whip themselves into a frenzy. With a recent Democratic Party rally in California, and
assorted statements from top congressional Democrats on Twitter and elsewhere, it's getting obvious that Democrats are going
bonkers on impeaching President Trump. Five things now stand out: [First,] In California, the rally to melt the
wicked witch of the West Coast, House speaker Nancy Pelosi, seemed to be having some effect. Pelosi was barraged with
loud yelling from Democrats calling for impeachment at her speech to the California Democratic Party State Convention and is
now showing signs of caving in. "This is coming home for me," she said. Up until now, she's told the farthest
left of the Democrats that impeachment was not worth it and they were playing into Trump's hands, because he was goading them
into it. In reality, she was focused on holding her House majority with large numbers of Democrats elected as moderates
from red districts who wouldn't last long if impeachment became the only item on the Dem agenda. Now it doesn't matter;
the mau-mauing has got to her.
Nancy
Pelosi heckled at Democrat Party event by impeachment-hungry Dems. Pelosi was speaking to the crowd about
Congress' response to the release of the Mueller report when hecklers silenced her for a few moments. Just as Pelosi
was talking about supposed instances of "obstruction of justice" by the president found in the Mueller report, individual
voices began yelling, "Impeach!" Pelosi had to halt her speech when many more voices joined in and screamed the same thing.

The
Democrats and the Squanderer. Ever since the new Congress was sworn in on 3 January 2019, nearly five months
ago, there have been nonstop clown shows led by Democrat leaders of House committees. House rules that were drawn by Speaker
Pelosi in late 2018 were specific to target President Trump, leading to impeachment. The plan was sidetracked with the
Weissmann-Mueller report findings. It does not matter that there is a crisis at the border.
Douglas
Brinkley Fawns Over 'Master' and 'Historic Speaker' Nancy Pelosi. On Thursday afternoon's [5/23/2019] airing of
CNN Newsroom, host Brooke Baldwin had on CNN presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, a history professor at Rice University.
The liberal media have been obsessively covering the recent jabs between President Donald Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Brinkley, rather than remaining an objective historian, couldn't help but drool over Pelosi as a partisan mouthpiece and
naturally Baldwin had no problem with it.
Levin:
Pelosi claims there's something wrong with the president 'as her dentures are slipping out of her mouth'.
Thursday [5/23/2019] on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin called out Nancy Pelosi's incoherent performance at a press
conference earlier Thursday, where she insinuated that President Trump is mentally unstable. "Seems to me he's running
circles around these people while they try to destroy him. Seems to me she's the one having a fit and a near-nervous
breakdown," Levin said. "How else do you explain the twitching?" "You see, ladies and gentlemen, she's trying to
convince you that there's something wrong with the president. He needs an intervention; she's praying for his
health — his mental health — as her dentures are slipping out of her mouth. She's put together
with screws and glue and toothpaste."
Rein
in politicized judges and their injunctions. Federal district judges aren't emperors for the whole United
States. Congress and the Supreme Court should both remind them of that reality. By issuing putatively national
injunctions, Attorney General William Barr said in a May 21 speech to the American Law Institute: "One judge can, in
effect, cancel the policy with the stroke of the pen. No official in the United States government [rightly] can
exercise that kind of nationwide power, with the sole exception of the president. And the Constitution subjects him to
nationwide election, among other constitutional checks, as a prerequisite to wielding that power." The subject arises
because, on issue after issue, liberal district judges have blocked President Trump's executive orders or rules promulgated
by his administration.
If
You Believe Pelosi and Schumer, I Want to Sell You a Bridge. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she's praying for
the president. Well, so am I, the difference being that I really am, whereas she's cynically pretending to, to show her
mock concern over his mental state. Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the rest of the congressional
Democratic cabal have treated President Trump abominably, and it's getting old. Do they assume Americans have endless
patience for their ongoing investigation charade? Consider the latest brouhaha between Trump and the Democratic
leaders. They were scheduled to meet at the White House on a $2 trillion infrastructure plan when Pelosi decided
to poison the punch bowl.
Lying
Nancy Pelosi blames Democrat "cover-up" on Donald Trump. Wednesday [5/22/2019], Democratic House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi told reporters she and her party "believe that no one is above the law, including the president of the United States.
And we believe that the president of the United States is engaged in a cover-up." The problem? Lying Nancy Pelosi and
the Democrats have spent over two years thwarting a duly elected American president while shielding actual left-wing Democrat coup
plotters like Jim Comey and John Brennan from closer scrutiny.
The
Worst Cover-Up of All Time. President Donald Trump may be guilty of many things, but a cover-up in the Mueller
probe isn't one of them. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, attempting to appease forces in the Democratic party eager for
impeachment, is accusing him of one, with all the familiar Watergate connotations. The charge is strange, not to say
incomprehensible, in light of the fact that Congress is in possession of a 448-page report produced by the Trump Department
of Justice cataloguing the alleged obstruction that Congress now wants to investigate. The report is so exhaustive that
many members of Congress haven't had the time to read it.
Democrat
Rep. Steve Cohen Questions Nancy Pelosi's Patriotism Over Impeachment And We're Here For It. Democrat
Rep. Steve Cohen appeared on CNN today [5/23/2019] (where else?). You'll probably remember Cohen from some of his
greatest hits, like slobbering on a bucket of KFC during a hearing in an attempt to call Bill Barr a chicken. Nice work
Tennessee. In the past few days, Nancy Pelosi has been desperately trying to tamp down calls for impeachment because
she smartly realizes there's no case for it and that it would backfire. Rationality isn't a strong suit of Democrat
politics though.
Pelosi's Impeachment Dilemma. The progressives
in her party are lining up to demand an impeachment spectacle. They hail from uber-liberal districts, their
constituents want Trump's scalp, and they fear inaction will earn them a primary challenge. Even Mrs. Pelosi's
wingmen — those who've had her fake-impeachment back — are starting to break. The Washington Post
reports that Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler is arguing for a formal impeachment inquiry, as are "five members of Pelosi's
leadership team." Mr. Beyer surprised nobody when he became the first member of Virginia's delegation to call
publicly for formal proceedings, joining at least two dozen other House Democrats. Mr. Beyer represents Virginia's
Eighth district, the most liberal in the state, encompassing the Washington suburbs of Alexandria and Arlington.
Pelosi
Tries To Play Hamlet On Impeachment. Pelosi would go forward on the trappings of impeachment absent
impeachment itself. It would be a continuation of the never-ending soap opera of the last two years of investigation,
and media coverage of it, except re-located to Capitol Hill. Though all the while teasing that impeachment may be
around the corner if we dig hard enough. "Get the facts to the American people in our investigation" and "it may take
us to a place that is unavoidable in terms of impeachment, but we're not at that place," as the Speaker put it. In
other words, months and months of "to impeach or not to impeach."
Pelosi
Blames Trump Admin for Children Dying after Crossing US Border. Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday [5/23/2019]
blamed the Trump administration for the deaths of six children who died after crossing into the United States illegally after
crossing a cartel-infested Mexican desert.

Walks Out On Pelosi, Schumer After "Cover-Up" Remarks. "I don't do cover-ups," Donald Trump declared from the

Nancy
Pelosi Was For Merit-Based Immigration Before She Was Against It. On Thursday [5/16/2019], Nancy Pelosi slammed
President Trump for proposing immigration reforms that would shift the country toward a more merit-based system. "I
want to just say something about the word that they use, 'merit.' It is really a condescending word," she said at her press
briefing. "Are they saying most of the people that come to the United States in the history of our country are without
merit because they don't have an engineering degree," she scoffed, dismissing the president's idea as "non-merit —
it means merit in the eyes of Donald Trump."

Pelosi Speech: Makes Up Name of City In China, Can't Remember Name Of Group She's Speaking To. Speaker of

members and completely fumbled through her delivery of basic sentences to the crowd.
House
Democrats' 'Equality Act' Is Both Unnecessary And Unacceptable For Religious Liberty. House Speaker Rep. Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) has proclaimed H.R. 5, the "Equality Act," as a top legislative priority for the current Congress. This
putatively anodyne but actually harrowing piece of legislation would not only add sexual orientation and "gender identity"
protections to our nation's civil rights laws, but would browbeat religious dissenters into submission without any remotely
resembling proper dispensations.
Pelosi
goes from 'we'll accept 2020 outcome' to 'we can't accept a second term for Trump'. On Tuesday [5/7/2019],
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told an audience at the Cornell Club in New York City that if Donald Trump wins a second term in
2020, Democrats would not question the outcome of the election, adding, "That's not who we are." "Oh, I think we have
to respect the vote of the people," she went on to say. "Winning an election is a decision." What makes this
statement laughable is that since Election Night in 2016, Democrats have done nothing but complain about the outcome of the
election. From crowds of disappointed voters holding up signs reading "Not my president" to Hillary Clinton's pathetic
whine-athon to Democratic candidates like Stacey Abrams refusing to concede elections that they lost, Democrats have come off
as pathetic children. Why any sane person would believe that they intend to take the high road in 2020 is a riddle
for the ages.
The Real Democratic Agenda.
Democrats have a problem. The base wants to impeach President Trump, ASAP, but the public does not. Indeed,
Trump's approval rating is the highest it's been in the Gallup survey, right around Obama's at this point in his term.
The brute facts of public opinion suggest that the impeachment of Trump would look more like Bill Clinton's trial than
Richard Nixon's. Not only would Trump remain in office; the backlash might deprive the Democrats of their 17-seat House
majority. For months, Nancy Pelosi's solution has been to walk right up to the line of impeachment without actually
crossing it. Unleash committee chairmen to fire their subpoena cannons in every direction. Make unrealistic
demands of Attorney General Barr. Have Swalwell and Lieu and the rest of the cable gang keep alive the conspiracy
theory that the Trump campaign was in criminal cahoots with Russia. Drag out the process into next year, when a
weakened and bedraggled Trump faces the eventual Democratic nominee. That way Pelosi gets the political benefits of
impeachment without the costs.
Does President
Trump Want to Be Impeached? As is her party's wont, Pelosi is portraying her caucus as the victims of a
president and his "deplorable" supporters. This is despite the fact the Democrats have spent more than two years
merrily smearing them all as treasonous, racist, and sundry other vile, baseless epithets. Even if Pelosi is oblivious,
President Trump and his base are keenly aware of this. [...] Do not make the mistake of assuming that because Nancy
Pelosi's propositions are illogical and, thus, political, they won't be efficacious to her party's aims. The fact that
she is no long[er] Minority Leader Pelosi results from the 2018 midterm elections, wherein House Democrats were rewarded with a
majority for their divisive, duplicitous smears of President Trump, his supporters, and the Republican majority. And you can
be absolutely certain that, if it is believed to be in their cynical interests, House Democrats will impeach President Trump.

Conservatives Sound Alarm In Letter To Pelosi. This week, conservative favorite freshman congressman
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) spearheaded a stirring letter that sounds the alarm on the dire fiscal situation currently facing
the United States federal government. [...] As Conservative Review explains, the Budget Control Act of 2011 —
known in D.C. circles at the time as "sequestration" — "was originally passed with enforcement mechanisms to
control spending and the debt." Since then, however, it has been a bipartisan recurring Washington habit to continually
raise spending limits and the debt ceiling. Rep. Roy, since joining the House in January, has consistently been
the conservative firebrand that many predicted he would be.
Pelosi
Says There May Be Additional Contempt Citations. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told a news conference
on Thursday that she agrees with House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) that the nation is in a constitutional
crisis, and she hinted that more contempt citations may be coming against the Trump administration: On Wednesday
[5/8/2019], Nadler's committee voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt, and that recommendation now goes to
the full House. [Video clip]
House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi: 'We Are a Superior Branch' of Government. "I think we are a superior branch," House
Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared Wednesday [5/8/2019]. In an interview with Washington Post Live,
Pelosi was asked if Congress is currently functioning as a coequal branch of government — to which, Pelosi
responded that her Legislative branch (Congress) is "superior" to the Executive and Judicial branches.
Pelosi
claims Congress is a 'superior branch' of government. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday declared that
Congress is a "superior branch" of government, as the clash between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration over
closely held documents intensifies. During an interview with Robert Costa for Washington Post Live, Pelosi, D-Calif.,
was asked whether Congress is functioning as a coequal branch of government. "I think we're a superior branch, quite
frankly," Pelosi said. "We have the power to make the law and the president enforces the law. So we have a big
role. We're closest to the people and we have a big role to play."
Here come the hanging chads and the lawyers. Pelosi:
We Cannot 'Accept' a Second Term for Donald Trump. Tuesday [5/7/2019] at an event in New York City hosted by
Cornell University's Institute of Politics & Global Affairs, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Democrats could not
"accept a second term for Donald Trump." Pelosi said, "We have to make sure — this will sound political but
we have to make sure that the Constitution wins the next presidential election. We can't be worrying about well, how
long is this going to take? Well, that will take as long as it does. [...]"
Judgment
Day [is] coming for Democrats. All standards of decency have been thrown out the window in the leftists'
mission to stop Trump from restoring America's greatness and to remove him from office. Vitriolic disrespect for Trump
and his family, even death threats, are acceptable. Wicked Democrat Nancy Pelosi outrageously claimed that Barr lied,
committing perjury during the hearing. Pelosi knows that fake news media will promote her absurd charge against Barr as
the truth.
Nancy Pelosi
Projects. Nancy Pelosi is trying to prevent the Democratic Party from driving off a left-wing cliff. That
makes sense from her perspective and is probably good for the country. But these days, even an attempt to be moderate
brings out the crazy in the Democratic Party.
Nancy
Pelosi fears Trump won't 'respect the election' if he loses by a small margin in 2020 and says the President will 'poison the
public mind'. Nancy Pelosi is already anticipating that Trump will not be gracious in defeat if he loses the
2020 presidential election by a slim margin. Speaking to the New York Times, the Speaker of the House says that the
Democrats need to win by a landslide so Trump will step down from the presidency without challenging the results.
'If we win by four seats, by a thousand votes each, he's not going to respect the election,' Pelosi says. 'We
have to inoculate against that, we have to be prepared for that.'
Bill
Barr And The Justice Department Don't Seem All That Concerned About Nancy Pelosi's Temper Tantrum. The FBI
director is an appointee of the President and serves "at the pleasure" of the President. When the President stops being
pleased, he can tell the FBI director to pack his [stuff] and get out of the area. This can be done for cause or it can
be done because the Presidential eggs weren't cooked properly. In the case of Comey, however, firing him has become an
alleged instance of Trump obstructing justice... never mind the new FBI director, the special counsel, the 670 day hoax
investigation, the 400+ page report. In fact, Volume Two of the Mueller report is chock full of banal and
mundane things that Mueller, his henchmen, and the Democrats want to criminalize just because they don't like them.
The Pelosi Preakness.
[T]here really is no excuse for Baltimore to be the mess of a city it has become. A lot of American cities, big and small, have
lost out in the postindustrial shifts of the last 60 years. But Metro D.C. is recession-proof, and ever growing. The
vast stretches of east and west Baltimore that lie abandoned could be condemned, razed, and replaced with condo towers and market-rate
apartments to serve the bevy of white-collar workers who could find these areas convenient. But that's beneath the Baltimore
politicos. They spend their time worrying about high-profile projects like sports stadiums, and of course, municipal graft.
Which brings us to Nancy Pelosi. Her dad, "Big Tommy" D'Alesandro, was Baltimore mayor throughout the 1950s and was a legendary
crook. He made a lot of money, but his public career cratered over charges of kickbacks. His son was also mayor of Baltimore
and likewise left public life under a cloud, especially for his inept leadership in the 1968 Baltimore riots. The ensuing white flight
killed off what had been a substantial GOP base in the town, leaving Charm City a fiefdom for crooks and incompetents. Little Nancy
was part of the graft from the beginning, even helping Big Tommy keep his account book of "favors done and owed". When the Pelosi
family moved to San Francisco, Nancy brought the Baltimore touch to the Bay area, pulling out the brass knuckles to raise funds for
Jerry Brown's Democrats and winning a congressional seat.
Trump
has obstructed justice 'on a daily basis', claims Nancy Pelosi. President Trump has 'demonstrated on a daily
basis his obstruction of justice', House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has declared. The Democrat also said Trump's Attorney
General William Barr would be 'obstructing Congress' if he refused to testify before the House on the Mueller report this
week. Barr is due before the House on Thursday [5/2/2019] but has signalled he may not appear if Democrats try to have
him questioned by committee lawyers.
Pelosi
Seems To Think She Has A Law Degree Based On What She Just Said About AG Barr. According to House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA), if Attorney General William Barr refuses to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, he would
be "obstructing justice." "The attorney general of the United States is not the president's personal lawyer, and he
should act as the attorney general of the United States and honor his responsibilities," Pelosi said. Speaker Pelosi's
comments come after Attorney General Barr said he would not appear before the House Judiciary Committee if Chairman Jerry
Nadler (D-NY) decides to allow Committee party counselors to cross examine him.
Half-full or half-empty? Pelosi:
In Ocasio-Cortez's District, 'Glass of Water Would Win With a D Next to Its Name'. On a trip to the U.K.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi dismissed the idea of democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) being
representative of the Democratic Party. Pelosi addressed questions about how to handle the left wing of her party in the
House during a talk with London School of Economics and Political Science, and she said Ocasio-Cortez needs to understand she
cannot set the agenda. She implied Ocasio-Cortez is failing to appreciate how Democrats need to appeal to the rest of the
country, saying the freshman congresswoman's district could be won by any purported Democrat — living or otherwise.
Democrats
and toxic media at their worst. The left and its compliant media are willfully reporting false news to the
American people. Whether it is a symptom of mass hysteria that is the genesis for this confirmation bias-style
reporting or an intentional maneuver to spread anti-Trump propaganda, its effect is toxic and pernicious. The report
comes in the form of a tweet making its way through the Twitter-sphere in which a user named Mark Elliott has posted a video
of Donald Trump who he contends is referring to migrants at the border as "animals." [...] The president's words were clearly
relating to the murderous gang MS-13 and not innocent migrants. The exchange first became a controversy last year when
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi mischaracterized the remarks.
Pelosi:
'It Is Deeply Alarming That the Trump Administration Official Who Put Children in Cages Is Reportedly Resigning Because She
Is Not Extreme Enough'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said in a statement Monday morning "that it is
deeply disturbing" that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is resigning because she is "not extreme enough for the
White House's liking." "It is deeply alarming that the Trump Administration official who put children in cages is
vreportedly resigning because she is not extreme enough for the White House's liking," said Pelosi. "The president's
dangerous and cruel anti-immigrant policies have only worsened the humanitarian suffering at the border and inflicted vast
suffering on the families who have been torn apart," Pelosi said.
The Editor says...
[#1] The president's efforts against illegal immigration are merely an attempt to enforce the law. There is nothing
dangerous or cruel about keeping invaders and freeloaders out of this country. [#2] If there is any "humanitarian suffering at the
border," it is entirely the fault of the Central American opportunists who have been lured to the north by the aroma of food stamps,
AFDC, and an excessively-high minimum wage. [#3] Many of "the families who have been torn apart" are not families at all.
Pelosi:
Asking People if They Are Citizens Serves 'No Legitimate Government Objective'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D.-Calif.) put out a statement Monday [4/1/2019] supporting an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court by the Democrat-controlled
House of Representatives arguing that the Census Bureau should not be permitted to ask people in the 2020 census whether they
are citizens of the United States. [...] "The Department of Commerce's proposed citizenship question[] is both unlawful and unconstitutional,
violating the Census Act as well as the clear constitutional mandate of an 'actual Enumeration' of the people in our country in a way that is
accurate and nonpartisan," Pelosi said. "This question, by the Commerce Department's own calculations, would reduce the accuracy of the
2020 decennial Census, while providing no legitimate government objective." "Instead," Pelosi said, "it would inject fear and distrust
into our most vulnerable communities, potentially making traditionally undercounted communities even further under-represented, financially
excluded and left behind."
The Editor says...
A non-citizen is entitled to less consideration and privilege than a second-class citizen.
There are no "undercounted communities." It is not unreasonable to survey the population
looking for illegal aliens. Illegal aliens should be under-represented in Congress.
They are not supposed to be represented at all. That's what this whole issue is about.
Nancy
Pelosi's bid to override President Trump's veto on halting the wall fails. Nancy Pelosi is the most popular
Democrat among Democrats, owing to her perceived capacity to fight and win against President Trump, particularly over the
border wall issue. Seriously, one poll showed her ranked as number one, more popular than any of the Democrats running
for president. [...] Her record, actually, is one of miserable failure. She did achieve a government shutdown for more
than a month in her bid to halt a desperately needed border wall as the migrant surge sends tens of thousands of unvetted
illegal aliens into the country with as many as five million on the way.
Obama
and Pelosi Rally the Troops. Nothing that happens with professional leftists is organic; everything is always
planned, organized, astroturffed, constructed and schemed. Club officials control everything; plan everything; organize
everything; and then enlist specific groups of designed foot-soldiers. This is what they do. This is all they
do. This is all they know how to do. It might seem subtle, but Team Trump has them off-balance. How far
off-balance? Well, remember, they were planning for a sequence. The current objective, an increasingly difficult
challenge, is to solidify the launch platform for the chosen one.
Nancy
Pelosi, your excuses for Democrat anti-Semitism are un-American. Last week's House resolution began because of
clear and unequivocal anti-Semitic comments by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., a Somali-born Muslim who has been called to
account before on her anti-Semitism by Jewish leaders in her own district. But Speaker Pelosi tried to act as though
Omar was simply unaware that her comments would be taken as anti-Semitic and therefore should be given a pass. The
Islamist activist Omar is an anti-Semite because she is an Islamist activist. Pelosi has held positive views of the
mutual enemies of Israel and America.
Reporter
Asks Pelosi What Beto O'Rourke Has Accomplished. She Can't Answer. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi struggled
to name a single accomplishment that former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) had while he was in the House of Representatives
when she was asked by a reporter on Thursday [3/14/2019] during a press conference. "Beto O'Rourke announced today that
he is running for president," NBC News' Kasie Hunt said. "What in your view was Beto O'Rourke's signature accomplishment
as a member of the House?" "Beto brought vitality to Congress... when he came, he came as a real champion for the
environment," Pelosi responded. "He got a great deal of support from the environmental community in his district,
he won a primary on that subject."
Nancy
Pelosi just admitted that Democrats have nothing on Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Monday [3/11/2019] that
she's against impeaching President Trump "unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan." Which is
exactly the point — there isn't. The speaker is surely up to speed on what evidence Democrats actually have against
Trump and has a fair sense of what Special Counsel Bob Mueller's report will say. And she recognizes that it's nothing that
will persuade anyone who hasn't wanted Trump ousted since Election Day 2016.
Pelosi:
Border emergency fight is about Trump, not presidential powers. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday the House
will not take up a new Senate GOP bill to curb the National Emergencies Act, saying her goal is to constrain President Trump,
not to tackle the bigger presidential powers issues. "Republican Senators are proposing new legislation to allow the
president to violate the Constitution just this once in order to give themselves cover," she said. "The House will not
take up this legislation to give President Trump a pass."
How Petty Is Nancy
Pelosi? This Petty. We understand that the Democrats are all about the #RESIST movement now and doing
everything they can to be confrontational when it comes to the White House. But couldn't we at least pretend for a
while that the co-equal branches are all playing for the same team? This was a petty, snide move on Pelosi's part and
she comes off looking much smaller for it.
Pelosi Says
She Personally Supports Lowering The Voting Age To 16. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at her weekly press
conference Thursday [3/14/2019] she personally would support lowering the national voting age to 16. "I myself,
personally, I'm not speaking for my caucus, I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16," Pelosi said
when asked by The Daily Caller about her thoughts on the issue. "I think it's really important to capture kids
when they're in high school when they're interested in all of this when they're learning about government to be able to
vote." "Some of the priorities in this bill are about transparency and openness and accessibility, and the rest,"
she added. "That's a subject of debate but my view is that I would welcome it, but I've been in that position for
a long time."
Pelosi
Says She'd Personally Welcome Lowering the Voting Age. At a news conference on Thursday [3/14/2019], House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked if she approves of lowering the voting age to 16. "I myself — I'm
not speaking for my caucus — I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16. I think it's really
important to capture kids when they're in high school, when they're interested in all of this, when they're learning about
government, to be able to vote."
Pelosi's
War with the Impeachment Hotheads. Speaker Pelosi and her party are no longer on the same page. Mrs. Pelosi's
recent revelation that she's not for impeachment directly contradicts the political priorities of many — if not most —
on the American left. Recent actions by House Democrats make this clear. By most indications, number one on the progressive
agenda is not national security, the economy, jobs, health care, education, abortion, or even the climate. The highest priority for
many congressional Democrats and their base is the impeachment of President Trump.
Pelosi:
'We Take Great Pride in Serving With a Record-Breaking Ten LGBTQ Members in the Congress'. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi said at a press conference on Wednesday [3/13/2019] — introducing H.R. 5, which prohibits discrimination on
the bases of sexual orientation — that she is proud to serve alongside a record 10 LGBTQ members of Congress. "We
take great pride in serving with a record-breaking ten LGBTQ Members in the Congress," Pelosi said. "We are happy about that."
Nancy
Pelosi Rules Out Impeachment: Trump 'Just Not Worth It'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is ruling out
impeaching President Donald Trump, arguing in an interview with the Washington Post Monday [3/11/2019] that "he's just
not worth it." "Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming
and bipartisan, I don't think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he's just not worth it,"
Pelosi told the Post.
Splitsville: AOC,
other Dems break with Pelosi on impeachment: 'I happen to disagree'. House Democrats aren't giving up on attempting
to impeach President Trump, even though Speaker Nancy Pelosi all but dismissed it in an interview published Monday [3/11/2019]. "I
happen to disagree with that take," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told the Washington Examiner Monday night, responding to
the Pelosi interview. "But you know, she's the speaker. ... I think we'll see." Pelosi told the Washington Post she doesn't
support the House trying to impeach Trump. "He's just not worth it," the California Democrat said in the interview.
The Democratic Crackup. Few things have benefited Democrats more
in the past few years than the Donald Trump show. The president likes to be the center of attention, and the media likes nothing more
than to oblige him. This dynamic helped make the 2018 election a referendum on the man himself rather than his policies, and that made
Mrs. Pelosi speaker of the House. Democrats envisioned the same dynamic helping them win the White House in 2020. Mrs. Pelosi
has been to that rodeo before, after the 2006 election, when she was first elected speaker. She mobilized her committee chairmen to
launch focused investigations to keep the spotlight on George W. Bush's Iraq war, energy policy, detainee treatment, etc. She corralled
a diverse caucus to pass a modest agenda, "Six in '06," that showed Democrats could get things done but didn't put them in the limelight, much
less make them look crazy. This paved the way to the election of Barack Obama in 2008, and Democrats figured Mr. Trump would make
a repeat even easier.
Why
isn't Pelosi getting tough on Democrats like Ilhan Omar? Her majority is at stake. The speakership of the
U.S. House of Representatives is the most powerful job on Capitol Hill. Either directly or indirectly, the speaker
controls the process by which members receive their committee assignments. This is a political life or death moment for
some members; the Kansas lawmaker who doesn't get on the Agriculture Committee is unlikely to survive. The speaker also
controls the legislative process through the all-powerful Rules Committee that decides what bills the House will vote
on. Why then, is Speaker Nancy Pelosi so hesitant to use her awesome powers to rein in a raucous group of freshman
Democrats who are challenging her leadership, and whose antics threaten the political future of many of their colleagues?
Speaker
Nancy Pelosi riles Texas conservatives with 'ground zero' comment. There's a reason House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's face shows up in Republican ads and solicitations at election time: She is the GOP's favorite villain, bar
none. In a Politico/Morning Consult poll two weeks ago, Pelosi's unfavorable rating was 86 percent among supporters of
President Donald Trump.
Pelosi:
'When You Leave This Earth and Go to Heaven and Meet Our Founders, Are You Going to Say to Them...'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said at a press conference with Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D.-Texas) on Tuesday [3/56/2019] that she
sometimes told people — presumably administration officials — that they ought to imagine "when they go to
heaven and meet our Founders" and try to explain to them why they wanted the Census to ask people whether or not they were citizens.
The Editor says...
On the day when Nancy Pelosi meets her maker, the census will be irrelevant. I suspect she will spend a lot of time
answering questions about her enthusiastic support of abortion.
Nancy
Pelosi Goes Bonkers After GOP Embarrasses Her In Gun Control Vote. Today, the House achieved final passage of a
bill that strives to essentially ban firearms sales between private persons within the United States. What made this
bill notable was two things. First, the bill prohibited federal firearms license holders from notifying law enforcement
when an illegal alien attempted to buy a firearm (see Democrats Demand Citizens Submit To Background Checks, But Prevent Same
For Illegals). Second, the Democrats, despite being in the majority, got [...] spanked by the GOP.
Pelosi
tells moderate Dems to stop voting with GOP. House Democrats held an emotional debate behind closed doors
Thursday over how to stop losing embarrassing procedural battles with Republicans — a clash that exposed the
divide between moderates and progressives. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a hard line at the caucus meeting,
saying that being a member of Congress sometimes requires taking tough votes.
Speaker
Pelosi Freezes, Slurs Her Words as She Takes a Shot at Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) struggled and
slurred her way through a presser on Thursday as she took a shot at Trump's meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong
Un. President Trump walked out of his second summit with North Korean tyrant Kim Jong-un on Thursday. The US
presented evidence of additional nuclear sites which stunned the North Korean delegation. President Trump walked away
early after a deal could not be reached. Pelosi criticized the President on Thursday for his efforts to negotiate the
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula — something that no US president before him was able to accomplish.
The Bogeyman Isn't Real.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is countering President Donald Trump's use of a presidential declaration of a national
emergency to build a border wall by ominously predicting [...] that some future Democrat president will use a similar
declaration to attack things conservatives hold dear. She did it with a smirk and smug chuckle worthy of someone who
has just snatched enough Dalmatian puppies to make a very comfy coat. Don't be surprised but Madame Speaker is being
disingenuous. If Trump hadn't declared a national emergency, it wouldn't have reduced the likelihood of a future
Democrat president declaring one for whatever he thought to be an emergency. As Barack Obama's weaponizing of the IRS,
the FBI, and other federal agencies demonstrated, power placed in Democrat hands is used whether doing so is in keeping with
statesmanly tradition, is ethical, or is even legal. So, we can confidently predict, that like the sun rising tomorrow
or Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying something nutty, a Democrat president will do whatever it takes to advance the
Democrat agenda.
Pelosi
Saluted Victory by Wishing Everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Nancy Pelosi, our House Speaker, was thrilled when
the spending bill was passed. She told the staff and the press, "We saluted our victory — or the victory for
the American people — earlier with chocolate. Chocolate from California, I call it the champagne of
chocolate. So again, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. You should go home now to your loved ones." The
only problem with that is it was Valentine's Day. [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi wishes everyone a 'Happy Thanksgiving' on Valentine's Day. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in her later
years, but that's OK, since plenty of others in the government are older, including President Donald Trump. What's
maybe not OK — and if anything rather concerning to some — is Pelosi's habit of mispronouncing words,
suffering brain freezes and getting the most basic details wrong.
Angel
Families March on Nancy Pelosi's Office: 'Build That Wall'. Angel families stormed into House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's office again Wednesday [2/13/2019] with calls to secure the U.S. southern border, but they were turned away yet
again. Americans whose loved ones have been killed by illegal aliens flooded into the office with questions as to why
their many requests for meetings with the Speaker went unanswered. Front office staff had little to offer in the way of
an answer and wouldn't give an idea of when so much as an aide would be available to meet with the families.
Furious
Pelosi uses 2nd Amend to make veiled threat over Trump's national emergency, then tries to walk it back. Being
left with few options by a dysfunctional Congress incapable of acting outside party interests, President Donald Trump is
reportedly set to declare a national emergency on the porous southern border to secure funding to build a wall. And
while the president can honestly say he did everything possible to work with the corrupt DC political class to deliver a
solution to a crisis Democrats and their media allies refuse to acknowledge, the one lawmaker who has become the face of the
effort to obstruct Trump's plans to enhance border security is threatening Republicans who support the decision.
Nancy
Pelosi gives DACA kids the shiv. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lived up to her "cut your head off and you won't
even know you're bleeding" characterization from her own daughter in the upcoming border deal, and not just for
Republicans. It's not just that the badly needed funds for a border wall were slashed to a mere $1 billion.
(As a means of comparison, the California bullet train got $77 billion allotted for its construction, with an easy
$3 billion of that from the feds.) Actually, the DACA kids got nothing. The border wall for the DREAMers deal,
sometimes put forward by President Trump as a means of sweetening the wall funding for the Democrats, didn't figure in the recently
completed negotiations for government funding. What did get through as the magic bargaining chip for the meager wall funds
was something far more disturbing: expanded catch-and-release.
Pelosi's Untouchables.
Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are becoming examples of a new
super-class of human being, riding roughshod over all their peers, proudly displaying their ignorance of, and hatred toward,
all things American. They are Pelosi's Untouchables. Deriding the traditional patriotism and conservatism of the
American people, the socialist club in Congress spews kook theology, far-left ideology, and outrageous cultural Marxism.
They are the tip of the sword that will skewer this nation and engulf us all into a prolonged civil war based on race and
religion. And Pelosi is allowing all of it.
Nancy
Pelosi Defends Ilhan Omar with Lie About 'Jew-S-A' at Trump Rallies. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
defended Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Wednesday [2/13/2019] by claiming, falsely, that Trump supporters had chanted
"Jew-S-A" at his campaign rallies and he "never distanced himself." CNN's Elizabeth Landers asked Pelosi to respond to
a statement by Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday in which he called Omar's Monday apology for antisemitic rhetoric
"inadequate," and said she did not belong on the House Foreign Affairs Committee:
Pelosi
Warns That A Future Democratic President Could Declare National Emergency To Push Gun Control. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi warned President Donald Trump on Thursday [2/14/2019] that a future Democratic president could declare a
national emergency to achieve an agenda, such as gun control policy. Responding to the president's announcement that he
will declare a national emergency related to the U.S. southern border, Pelosi maintained that "Democratic presidents can
declare emergencies as well. So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with
great unease and dismay by the Republicans."
The Editor says...
If ever there was a Democrat president who wanted to outlaw guns by issuing an executive order, it
was BarackObama.
Rep.
Judy Chu Says Speaker Nancy Pelosi Should Not be Required to Release Her Tax Returns. Rep. Judy Chu
(D-Calif.) said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) should not be required to release her income tax returns, although
Pelosi and House Democrats want to legally require President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence to release their tax
returns under H.R. 1. On Thursday on Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Chu, "Under H.R. 1, Speaker Pelosi would
require the president and the vice president to release their tax returns. Do you think Speaker Pelosi should be
required to release her tax return as well?" Chu said, "No, I don't think so, because I — unless she's
running for president."
Left may target Pelosi.
Pelosi just made a historic return to the speakership after roaming eight years in the backwaters of Washington. But
she finds herself in the same place John Boehner was in eight years ago when 63 freshmen congressmen swept him to
power. Most were Tea Party people who had this radical idea that we should repeal Obamacare. Pelosi took
notes. She has largely headed off her radicals. Unlike Boehner, her passions are smokes, booze, and golf.
She likes power. She also likes belittling her opponents.
Trump's
Wall and a Plan to Stop Cartels at the Border. If you've been thinking Trump Derangement Syndrome couldn't get
any worse, consider the Democratic Party's position on border security. Sitting behind President Trump during his State
of the Union speech on Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) spent much of the evening making faces at the back of
his head. [...] Pelosi opposes a wall or anything else that discourages illegal aliens from getting into the country and
staying here (preferably in red states, where they can do her party the most political good). By itself this would be
bad enough. But the same dangerously inadequate approach she and most Democrats favor for human traffic is also
responsible for the record amount of illicit drugs pouring across the border, not to mention the epidemic of crime and
drug-related deaths that comes with them.
This is exactly what Nancy Pelosi was hoping to avoid, by stonewalling the SOTU speech: President
Trump Approval Rating Jumps to 49% Following Brilliant State of the Union Speech. President Trump holds a 49%
approval rating today after nearly two years into his first term despite a continued barrage of fake news and vicious media
attacks. This comes after a brilliant State of the Union speech that enjoyed 76% approval rating with the American
public. President Trump is tied with Barack Obama at the same point in his presidency despite the fawning press for the
former president.
Pelosi Outsmarted Herself
on the SOTU. When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi withdrew her original State of the Union invitation, preventing
President Trump from delivering the address as scheduled on January 29, she was probably surprised when he responded with
such calm forbearance: "This is her prerogative. I will do the address when the shutdown is over." By the time
Trump finished the rescheduled speech Tuesday evening [2/5/2019], she no doubt understood that her petty political ploy had
been a blunder. Trump, being no mean showman, had long since realized that the highly publicized delay would increase public
interest in the speech — and that is precisely what happened.
Donald
Trump's Annihilation of the Democratic Party. The Democratic House of Representatives has taken its stand on immigration.
Led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), they claim to favor border security but are reluctant to do anything to reduce the flow of illegal
immigrants. The entire Democratic media echo chamber has gone to maximum decibel levels denouncing the time-honored solution of an
"immoral" wall, and claiming the problem is wildly exaggerated and chiefly occurs at airports. They are backing themselves into the
corner of "sanctuary cities" where police are instructed to ignore federal immigration laws and census-takers are enjoined from asking the
citizenship of the country's residents, as the Constitution requires.
Nancy
Pelosi Keeps Quoting Her Favorite Bible Verse. The Mystery: It's Not Actually in the Bible. Pelosi
got one thing right: She does in fact "quote it all the time." The earliest example I found comes from the
Congressional Record in 2002, in a speech honoring a prominent Catholic priest in San Francisco who had recently died.
"The Bible tells us that to minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship," she said on the House floor.
"To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us." It's the next best thing to the Prophet Isaiah himself
appearing on the House floor. Between 2002 and 2018, the quote appears 12 times in the Congressional Record, with
Pelosi responsible for all but one of the entries. (The other time, Texas Republican Louie Gohmert was quoting Pelosi.)

moderate Dems talk Pelosi out of her extreme position in the border negotiations? As things stand now, a House
and Senate conference committee is the only hope that Democrats and Republicans can reach agreement on border security and
avoid another government shutdown. The negotiations — such as they are, for a committee that has met briefly
only once in more than a week — are ostensibly between Republicans and Democrats. But well-informed
Republicans believe it is another set of talks — internal talks among Democrats — that will determine
whether the committee succeeds and a shutdown is averted. "This is not a negotiation between Republicans and
Democrats," said one GOP lawmaker who is keeping close tabs on the process. "This is a negotiation between
rank-and-file Democrats and Nancy Pelosi."
America does not need to be rebuilt. It only needs to have its intentional destruction halted. Pelosi:
We Will be 'Raising Wages by Rebuilding America With Green, Modern Infrastructure'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.)
said in a statement put out Friday [2/1/2019] in recognition of Black History Month that House Democrats will be pushing a "For the People"
agenda that will include raising wages by building green infrastructure. "And we are pushing forward a bold, ambitious agenda For The
People to make good on the promise of the American Dream for everyone by lowering the cost of health care and prescription drugs, raising
wages by rebuilding America with green, modern infrastructure, and strengthening our democracy by ensuring that our government works for
the public interest, not the special interests," Pelosi said.
A growing record of insanity. It's hard to keep up
with the tsunami of cultural and economic insanity thundering through a thousand outlets every day, but here's a try. [...]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi mocks the idea of securing America's southern border as something only a bigot like President
Trump would want. Hence, she and her party oppose even a dime for any more physical barriers that would help the border
patrol stem the ongoing invasion of illegal immigrants. Three more caravans on the way? Ho hum. Openly
socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, wants not only open borders but to abolish the U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is charged with keeping us safe from drug dealers and violent criminals.
She also backs a confiscatory tax scheme with rates as high as 70 percent, free college tuition and a "Green New Deal" mandate
that would strangle industry, cause energy costs to skyrocket and make blackouts common. She's a huge hit wherever she speaks.
Nancy
Pelosi: Replacing "Normandy Barriers" with "Normandy Fencing" is OK — Not a Wall. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi starts shifting the semantic granules to avoid a political loss. The financing for, and
construction of, a see-through fencing system (Trump's position) is the request of DHS and Border Patrol, and supported by
the vast majority of Americans. Today, Speaker Pelosi starts by claiming no wall will ever be permitted, then garbles
her way through a pretzel response by saying "Normandy Barriers" being replaced by "Normandy See-Through Fencing", is
ok. She's trying to avoid a political loss.
Pelosi
on Jobs Report: 'GOP Attitude Disrespects Workers, Dishonors Our Values and Damages Our Economy'. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi responded to a January employment report that showed "nonfarm payroll employment increased by 304,000" during
the month by issuing a statement attacking congressional Republicans for embracing an attitude that "disrespects workers[.]"
Pelosi also lamented the situation of federal workers, who, even if they were furloughed during the partial shutdown that ended
on January 25 were paid for the time they did not work. Also, the jobs report showed that the federal government
added 1,000 workers during the month.
The Editor says...
If Ms. Pelosi thinks the Republicans' attitude
is damaging the economy, and all the stuff Obama
did was helping the economy, she has lost her mind.
Pelosi
attempted a coup? Some very peculiar signs point to this. [Scroll down] We know the media hates the
President, and spends much of its time in a mindless rage over his existence. The real question is, probably, therefore,
this: How many assassination attempts have been tried against President Trump? The second video says 12. Why
do we not know about them?
Pelosi:
If Asylum-Seekers Illegally Cross Border into US, 'That's Okay Too'. Foreign nationals who enter the United
States — even crossing the border unlawfully between ports of entry — have the right to seek asylum,
"under international law and any sense of decency," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Wednesday [1/30/2019].
Addressing leaders in Christian higher education on Capitol Hill, Pelosi said the U.S. is doing the "minimum" when it comes
to helping people seeking refugee status and claiming a credible fear of persecution in their countries of origin.
The Editor says...
Members of Congress are elected to represent U.S. citizens, not illegal aliens, not previously deported aliens, and
certainly not the billions of people who have never set foot in this country.
Pelosi
Explains Her Shutdown Strategy: 'Start with Feather Then You Move to Sledgehammer'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) celebrated the end of the partial government shutdown on Friday [1/25/2019] by sitting down with leftist media commentators
and bragging about manipulating President Donald Trump into agreeing on a temporary reopening to allow negotiations over a border
wall to take place.
The
Progressive Race to the Bottom. Presidential elections are now to be seen by the Left not as the end of a four-year
political cycle. Instead, they are the beginning of an any-means-necessary, existential effort to reverse the proverbial will
of the people and to remove or delegitimize the president. From now on, if the Left loses, then everything is in theory on the
table: seeking removal of the victor by warping the Electoral College vote; or suing under the Logan Act, the emoluments clause,
or the 25th Amendment; or cherry-picking federal judges to block presidential orders; or using the Congress to impeach the president;
or unleashing a special counsel for years of investigation.
Border
Patrol Wife Invites Speaker Pelosi to See Why Walls Are Needed. The wife of a Texas-based Border Patrol agent
invited Speaker Nancy Pelosi to visit the border to see for herself why walls are needed. "We would like to show you
around! You don't need to bring any security detail. Our husbands/significant others are actually very good at
their jobs, thank goodness!" Jill Demanski, the wife of a Texas-based Border Patrol agent wrote in a letter to Speaker
Pelosi. She told Fox News she wrote the letter because she felt Pelosi needs to see this area of the border in person
in order to make an informed decision about border security funding.
When
Nancy Pelosi wins, Americans lose. Nancy Pelosi has had an eventful week. Wednesday [1/23/2019], letters
were exchanged between herself and President Trump, who eventually conceded to her seething demand to postpone the State of
the Union address. Left-leaning media announced this as some kind of a victory, like CNN's front-page headline, which
read, "Pelosi claims win over Trump in State of the Union showdown." It begs to be asked: what did this really
accomplish? [...] Not allowing the president to address Congress and the American people is just a maneuver so she can act as
a gatekeeper between the country and its elected leader, and that is at the core alarmingly anti-American. By using the
government shutdown as an excuse to go against the tradition of the State of the Union, Pelosi is guaranteeing that the
subtext of history remembers her as a spiteful obstructionist while paving the way for future speakers to use the same
tactic, perhaps against a future Democratic president.
Nancy
Pelosi repeatedly tells mayors to clap for her. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was like a mother hen to America's
mayors on Wednesday [1/23/2019], telling them when to clap for her. After thanking a member of her audience, she said,
"That's an applause line! I'll let you know." She followed through on her promise. [Video clip]
Pelosi
knows the freshman caucus is out of control. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is determined to stop President
Trump from delivering the State of the Union address on Jan. 29. She says it's due to the shutdown, but that's nonsense
and just a political ploy. So what is the real reason Mrs. Pelosi doesn't want the American people to see it?
The increasingly obvious reason is the House is in chaos. [...] At first blush, it would seem Mrs. Pelosi was attempting
to keep the president from being heard, but that's impossible. Another argument is she's trying to strip him of the
trappings of the presidency. That that, too, is completely futile. Despite the media coverage presuming this is a
Pelosi-Trump conflict, her action signals she doesn't want the American people to see something damaging to her and the
Democrats in general — which is a freshman caucus not in her control and more interested in stunts than in governing.
If this is true, why is she going to such great lengths to prevent it? Pelosi:
State of the Union address is 'so unimportant' for Americans. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday [1/24/2019] she
was happy that President Trump agreed to postpone his State of the Union address until after the government reopened —
saying the speech was "so unimportant in the lives of the American people" compared to other priorities. "Last night
the president accepted the fact that the State of the Union should be at a time when government is not shut down. I'm
glad we could get that off the table. It is so unimportant in the lives of the American people in terms of especially
those who are victims of the shutdown, hostages to the president's applause line in a campaign speech," Pelosi said at a
press briefing, referring to Trump's oft-repeated call to build a wall on the southern border.
FBI Files: Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's Father
Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. Was "Constant Companion" Of Notorious Mobster Benjamin Magliano. Nancy Pelosi's
father Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. allegedly was a "constant companion" of notorious mobster Benjamin "Benny Trotta" Magliano and
other underworld figures during his political years in Baltimore, MD. D'Alesandro was a Congressman for five terms from 1938
to 1947, and Baltimore mayor for three terms from 1947 to 1959. Magliano was identified by the FBI as one of Baltimore's
"top hoodlums," and he widely was acknowledged as the representative for New York's Frankie Carbo who made his bones with
Murder, Inc. and later became a made guy in the Lucchese family. The allegations are included in D'Alesandro's
recently-released FBI files which Friends of Ours has obtained pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.
Nancy
Pelosi is trying to federalize California's bad election laws. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has made a
gargantuan overhaul of election law, campaign finance, and ethics rules the top priority of House Democrats. Contrast
this move with the Republicans in 2017 — the Democratic Party and its allies understand there is a difference
between winning elections versus big idea debates. H.R. 1, her proposal, is not likely to clear the Senate, but that's
not the point. It is a marketing document intended to broach the idea of federalizing some progressive state policies
while trying to squeeze more conservative locales into adopting them as well.
Mark
Levin calls Pelosi 'America's first fascist'. Conservative talk radio show Mark Levin called Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) "America's first fascist" during his nationally syndicated program Wednesday evening. The
conservative commentator accused the Democratic leader of having "hijacked" the federal government by refusing President
Trump's demand for border wall money as part of a funding deal. "She has unilaterally decided that our borders are
open," Levin said on his show, while also accusing Pelosi of having "undermined tradition" by blocking Trump's State of the
Union address scheduled for next week.
What
you don't know about the lucrative travel our leaders enjoy on your dime. We have long noted Pelosi's abuse of
the perks of public office that granted her access to luxury military travel. This current expedition is hardly new for
her. In 2009, during Pelosi's first speakership, we uncovered documents from the Department of Defense detailing her
multiple requests for military air travel. The documents included internal DOD email correspondence detailing attempts
by DOD staff to accommodate Pelosi's numerous requests for military escorts and military aircraft as well as the speaker's
last-minute cancellations and changes. In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense
Department official wrote, "Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi's team] if they really intend to do all of these or are
they just picking every weekend? ... [T]here's no need to block every weekend 'just in case'..." The email also notes
that Pelosi's office had, "a history of canceling many of their past requests."
'Air
Pelosi': Watchdog revisits House speaker's hefty travel expenses on military aircraft. President Trump recently
denied House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the use of a military aircraft for a congressional delegation trip to Afghanistan.
Mr. Trump's decision prompted Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton to revisit Mrs. Pelosi's travel habits; the
watchdog organization has tracked her use of military jets for more than a decade through Defense Department documents
obtained through Freedom of Information requests. "For years we have been exposing the lucrative travel our leaders
enjoy at taxpayer expense. We have long noted Pelosi's abuse of the perks of public office that granted her access to
luxury military travel," Mr. Fitton wrote in an op-ed titled "Air Pelosi" for Fox News, providing numerous examples.
Democrats
Voted Today To NOT Pay Federal Workers During The Government Shutdown. Nancy Pelosi and other increasingly
nervous Democrats in Congress have claimed that President Trump was "holding federal workers hostage" during the government
shutdown. NOT TRUE. Today, Democrats were given the opportunity to make sure those same federal workers received
paychecks as negotiations continue regarding border security funding and ending partial shutdown. THEY VOTED NO.
This has been and very much remains Nancy Pelosi's shutdown. Speaker Pelosi is scared to death of the radical left in her
own party — the same radical left who has threatened her speakership should she relent to the president's desire
to sit down and negotiate a deal between the two sides. And don't allow the Establishlment Media to tell you any
different. They have been covering for Pelosi and those same radical Democrats, but the American people are starting to
see through the ruse. Democrats care little about the Middle Class. They care far more about allowing illegals to
enter the country.
Nancy
Pelosi Appoints Anti-Israel Radical Ilhan Omar to House Foreign Affairs Committee. Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi appointed anti-Israel radical Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday
[1/17/2019]. Omar confirmed the appointment on Twitter on Thursday afternoon. Omar supports the boycott,
divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, which has been called antisemitic because it singles out the Jewish
state for isolation and ignores the Palestinian side.
So,
Nancy Tried to Leave the Country During The Shutdown Again? The government shutdown has lasted 20+ days.
House Democrats and the Trump White House cannot agree on funding for border security. We're talking $5 billion here,
folks. It's a rounding error in federal budgeting. Democrats, having retaken the House in the 2018 midterms, are
not willing to play ball with Trump. They want to fight, stall his agenda and score political points. At the same
time, keep the cancerous legions of their progressive base sated as they thirst for blood against an administration they view
as the personification of evil. Both sides aren't budging. Democrats see the polling. Trump is
blamed. Trump sees the polling too and sees that border security, curbing illegal immigration, and the wall itself are
proposals that are popular or gaining in approval respectively. Both sides are at equal risk for overreaching.
Nancy
Pelosi's $2 million in travel junkets is starting to get noticed. Not only was President Trump's masterly
counter-move against House speaker Nancy Pelosi an expert power play against the speaker's bid to take the television set
away from him at the State of the Union, but it drew attention to something that doesn't get much attention, the fact that
she's got some Imelda Marcos-style spending habits in state-financed travel.
Pelosi
says Trump put her life in danger by yanking plane access. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday [1/18/2019] accused
President Trump of putting her life in danger by publicly nixing her top-secret trip to a war zone in Afghanistan — and
then "leaking" her backup plans to travel commercially. Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said she and a delegation were "prepared
to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip" after Trump suddenly yanked their use of a military plane for the overseas trip
on Thursday [1/17/2019].
Nancy Pelosi's Flight
to Italy And Ukraine Cost the Air Force Nearly $200k. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's congressional delegation
(CODEL) to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan garnered extra attention after President Donald Trump banned her from using
military aircraft, but the trip would not have been the first time she used Air Force money to travel the world.
Pelosi's trip to Italy and Ukraine from July 30 to Aug. 6, 2015, cost the Air Force $184,587.81, according to documents
released Saturday under a 2015 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit by Judicial Watch. Her delegation was made up
of nine other members of Congress, including Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo of California and Marcia Fudge of Ohio.
Four family members, including Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi, were on the trip.
Why
Democrats Said No to Trump's Border Compromise. Lots of people are wondering just why Democrats rejected
President Trump's plan to reopen government agencies even before he announced the plan. House speaker Nancy Pelosi
called it a "non-starter," and Senate Democratic whip Dick Durbin rejected it even though, as the Daily Caller noted,
Trump's proposal to protect immigrant "Dreamers" from being deported "included everything" that Durbin had asked for "just
over two years ago."
Walls are Immoral'.
When Nancy Pelosi intoned that "walls are immoral," she was not basing this contention on an analysis of moral permissibility.
[...] [I]t is easy to see that it's perfectly okay to install a physical barrier for purposes of preventing unauthorized or
illegal entry, which is why such are installed. This can be a door with a lock or a gated fence around a property.
Try getting homeowners' insurance without a front door. Does Nancy Pelosi's house have a front door?
Trump
denies Pelosi aircraft for foreign trip in response to call for State of the Union delay. President Trump on
Thursday abruptly denied military aircraft to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a foreign trip just minutes before the
congressional delegation was set to depart, in a stunning decision that followed her call to delay the State of the Union
address amid the government shutdown. In a curt letter, Trump said her trip has been "postponed." "Due to the
Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will
reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not
receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate," Trump wrote.
Stranded
Bus with Pelosi and Democrat Lawmakers Drives Circles Around US Capitol. On Thursday afternoon [1/17/2019],
President Trump informed Speaker Pelosi her "public relations" trip to Afghanistan, Egypt, and Brussels has been postponed so
that she can stay in DC and negotiate with him. The President canceled Pelosi's flight just one hour before she was
scheduled to depart — Pelosi and other lawmakers were on the bus en route to the airport. Trump told her to
fly commercial on her own dime. According to Fox News reporter, Chad Pergram, furious phone calls are flying back and
forth from The Hill to the State to the Pentagon and White House.
Trump to Nancy:
You're grounded. When Nancy tried to cancel President Donald John Trump's State of the Union speech, I thought
it's petty. Today [1/17/2019], while she and her cronies were aboard an Air Force bus headed for a military flight to
Europe, the Commander-in-Chief cancelled the flight. [...] A woman elected from some gerrymandered district in San Francisco
challenged the Leader of the Free World. He left her on the bus. He physically grounded her. His message
was simply, "Due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip Brussels, Egypt and Afghanistan has been
postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great
American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally
appropriate. [...]"
Giving
Pelosi a Taste of Her Own Medicine. The look on Representative Adam Schiff's face was priceless as the
California Democrat disembarked the Air Force bus on Thursday [1/17/2019]. A few days ago, Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) sent a letter to the White House, practically disinviting the president of the United States from giving
his State of the Union Address on January 29. She cited security concerns and suggested that the president
reschedule his address for a time after the government shutdown. But everyone knew that her explanation was absolute
nonsense.
The
Tables Turn on Pelosi and the Media. Saturday was National Popcorn Day, but I've been nibbling on popcorn all
week as Nancy Pelosi learned a lesson about presidential power and the media was gut checked by the special prosecutor.
I haven't had this much fun since election night 2016. While she might have thought otherwise, the power of the
commander-in-chief is far greater than that of the speaker of the House, and the humiliating way this was brought home to the
congressional equivalent of Maerose Prizzi (h/t Michael Walsh) was something. She anticipated that she and her posse of
cronies and their families (reports of a ninety-some entourage in all) would hop a military plane for a free trip to
Brussels, Afghanistan, and Egypt, doubtless with fawning media coverage, leaving the president to sit alone in the White
House hoping fruitlessly they'd toddle in there to negotiate an end to the shutdown. Reports vary as to whether she was
on the tarmac or on her way there when the president cancelled the flight as incompatible during a shutdown when federal
workers were not being paid and illegal aliens were continuing to invade. The president twisted the knife, suggesting
she was free to fly commercial, which served as a reminder of the enormous tab she ran up on such flights the last time
she was speaker.
It's Now Undeniably The
Pelosi Shutdown. In a nationally televised statement from the White House, President Trump offered concessions
on DACA, expressed a desire to work with Democrats toward a much-needed overhaul of the outdated immigration system and a
desire to end the government shutdown. Speaker Pelosi's handlers released a response to the media even before the
president finished his speech. That response was NO and came at the same time reports indicated Speaker Pelosi was
leaving Washington D.C. for a long weekend at one of her many (walled) properties.
Pelosi is
Petrified of Trump Speaking Directly to America and Exposing Democrat Duplicity on Border. In 2013, Chuck
Schumer and every Senate Democrat voted in favor of 350 miles of border wall. They have right now shut the government
down to stop 234 miles of border wall. I don't know how you explain that you voted in favor of 350 miles but you shut
the government down to stop 234 miles. That is incoherent. What is the honest answer? The honest answer:
It's not a substantive disagreement; it's that they're terrified of their extreme left wing, who hates Trump. And that's
why we're having a shutdown.
Pelosi
Confronted: Stutters Through Response to Reporters, Repeats Crackpot Claim That Trump Endangered Her Life. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) looked defeated Friday afternoon [1/18/2019] when reporters confronted her over her outrageous claims Trump
endangered her life by cancelling her military flight then allegedly leaked her commercial travel plans. Earlier Friday morning,
Pelosi's spokesman, Drew Hammill accused President Trump of endangering Pelosi's life by leaking her commercial travel plans.
Pelosi
asks Trump to postpone SOTU until gov't reopens; Dems planned move for "months"? It's tough to tell. Does
this make the shutdown a bug, or a feature? Nancy Pelosi has asked Donald Trump to put off his State of the Union
speech to the joint session of Congress until after the funding issues have been resolved: [...] Pelosi's not looking to
restore the proper co-equal-branch dynamics under the Constitution. She was delighted to offer regal hosannas to
Barack Obama, and she'd be equally delighted to offer them to President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or President Jill Stein, for
that matter. She just doesn't want Trump using Congress to beat up Democrats over the wall.
Former
Secret Service Agent Bongino Demands Apology From Pelosi For Lying About, Insulting Secret Service. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter Wednesday to the White House asking for a postponement of the annual State of the Union
address until after the government shutdown has ended. Pelosi cited security concerns over the speech due to
"hamstrung" security agencies. [...] However, multiple DHS officials and Secret Service veterans have said that Pelosi is not
being truthful in her remarks and weaponizing the Secret Service for political reasons. Former Secret Service agent Dan
Bongino tells The Daily Caller that Pelosi owes the Secret Service an apology and that the shutdown has nothing to do with
agency readiness.
Pelosi
slammed for attempted shutdown of Trump State of Union. The Trump administration and Republicans are pushing
back on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's suggestion that President Trump delay his upcoming State of the Union address because of
the partial government shutdown[.] The president is slated to deliver his televised annual address to a Joint Session of
Congress on Jan. 29. But with no compromise in sight to resolve the standoff over government funding for Trump's
proposed border wall — a stalemate that is in its fourth week, with the impact deepening for furloughed federal
workers and others — Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested in a letter that Trump put those plans on hold, speak from the
Oval Office rather than Capitol Hill, or submit the address in writing.
No
Thanks, Nancy: Trump Should Reject Pelosi's SOTU Postponement Ploy. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a
letter to President Trump today [1/16/2019], suggesting that his upcoming State of the Union Address — scheduled
for January 29th — ought to be postponed until after the partial government shutdown is over. Pelosi cites
"security concerns" related to the temporary lack of funding for US Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security,
implying that speech attendees might be unsafe due to the budget impasse.
Citing
'security concerns' due to government shutdown, Speaker Pelosi urges delay of State of the Union address. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked President Donald Trump to reschedule his State of the Union address this month if the government
remains shuttered — or deliver it in writing. "Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government re-opens
this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has re-opened for this address or
for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29th," Pelosi wrote in
a letter to Trump on Wednesday [1/16/2019].
Pelosi Slams DHS Claim Of
Being Prepped For SOTU: 'I Don't Care What They Said'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters Wednesday
night she "doesn't care" if the Secret Service said it was prepared to appropriately secure the State of the Union address
despite the partial government shutdown. Instead, she stood firm in her resolve to delay the January 29 event
until the government completely re-opens.
Pelosi's Petulance
Is Wearing Thin. We expected all sorts of fits and furies when Democrats took control of the House, but Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's unprecedented threat to disinvite President Donald Trump to the State of the Union sets the bar surprisingly
low. And it makes Trump's cancellation of her overseas trip all the more sweet. On Wednesday [1/16/2019], citing
disingenuous security concerns, Pelosi sent the president the formal equivalent of a lunchtime high school bully's "you can't
sit with us anymore." The irony of the speaker holding up government funding over border security while simultaneously
decrying the lack of security for the speech was apparently lost on CNN, who praised Pelosi's gambit as "a major power move."
Pelosi
'Disinviting' Trump from State of the Union is Yuge Opportunity. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats just
stepped in it, big-time. According to various news reports, Pelosi has "disinvited" President Trump from making the
annual State of the Union address to Congress. With just days left until he was supposed to deliver this widely-viewed
speech on January 29, Politico reports that, fearing Trump will use the nationally-televised address to blame Democrats
for the ongoing partial shutdown of the government, Pelosi "asked President Donald Trump to reschedule his State of the Union
address — or deliver it in writing — as long as the government remains shut down."
McCarthy:
Pelosi's move to disinvite Trump 'unbecoming of the office'. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday [1/16/2019] it was
"unbecoming of the office" for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to call for a postponement or cancellation of President Trump's planned January 29 State
of the Union address. "I think Speaker Pelosi is playing politics like I've never seen a speaker before," McCarthy, R-Calif., told the
Washington Examiner Wednesday. "I think it's unbecoming of the office to disinvite the president. The American people have the right
to be able to hear the president and the president has a right to deliver a state of the union." Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a letter to
Trump that the partial government shutdown would make it difficult to secure the event, which is attended by members of all three branches of
government and typically requires a massive law enforcement presence.
NBC,
CNN: Secret Service, DHS Reject Nancy Pelosi's 'Security' Excuse for Canceling State of the Union. Multiple
reports indicate that the U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security both reject Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi's stated reason for asking the President of the United States to postpone the State of the Union address. On
Wednesday, Pelosi wrote to the president to rescind her Jan. 3 invitation for him to address Congress on January 29, in
keeping with tradition. Pelosi blamed a lack of available security due to the ongoing partial government shutdown: [...]
The
devil is using the Democratic Party to destroy America. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated in USA Today (Jan. 3)
the top two "generational challenges of our time are reducing income disparity and combating the climate crises." While all
of us should strive to be good stewards of the environment, we must be discerning not to succumb to hysteria not based on scientific
empirical evidence but much from Al Gore's theories and disproven myths, which catapulting him to multimillionaire status.
Pelosi
claims 'food stamps,' 'farm subsidies' not being paid because of Trump, but they ARE. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi has every right to criticize POTUS Donald Trump and his administration, and in fact, being the leader of the
opposition party in the House, we expect her to. But the California Democrat has an obligation to the country to at
least be honest in her critique of the president.
Lift
Up Your Hearts: The Democrats Are in a Shambles. As a figure of horror, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
has become almost like Bette Davis, one can believe she just acts the part, though she acts it convincingly. And she has
earned her spurs as a Democratic legislator with staying power, the first speaker to serve non-consecutive terms since Sam Rayburn
(D-Texas). She certainly didn't get much back-talk from all those bushy-tailed Democrats who were going to send her off to knit
antimacassars for her grandchildren. She does not, however, appear to be an effective spokesperson as leader of the
opposition, and is strangely inarticulate for someone who must have spent more time in public speaking for the last 40 years
than almost anyone in the country.
Democrats
are battling to see who is the most radically left. Another week, another feverish contest among Democrats to
see who can drag the party faster and farther to the left. The new year is beginning with a blistering pace, with wild
and crazy ideas popping up across the country. Start in Washington, where Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi made a lasting
impression by saying no, no to President Trump's sensible proposal for barriers and other security at the southern
border. Their rejection, and implicit denial that there is even a problem, serves as an invitation to hundreds of
thousands of more migrants to cross illegally. And each new wave guarantees that future Dems will be able to demand
amnesty for successive generations of "Dreamers," thus roiling America for years. Heckuva job, Chuck and Nancy.
You should start a podcast, where you each get your own podium.
In
the border fight, Democrats want a 'technological wall' that won't keep anybody out. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
of California says a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border would be "immoral." Instead, she favors something she calls a
"technological wall." Another top House Democrat, Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, calls it a "smart wall."
Instead of building an actual physical barrier of steel, concrete, or some other material, Pelosi, Clyburn, and other
Democrats advocate employing an array of high-tech devices — drones, infrared sensors, surveillance cameras, and
more — to keep track of activity at the border without physical impediments to discourage illegal crossings.
Trump
Has the Democrats Cornered. No sooner had the Democrats taken back the majority in the House of Representatives
than they proved their harshest critics correct — the party no longer concerns itself with the interests of the
American people. And by refusing to provide a dime for a physical barrier on our border, they did it in the starkest
terms possible. Led by far-left Nancy Pelosi, who held off a challenge to her leadership from the even farther left,
the House Democrats promptly put themselves in the position of being seen taking the side of foreigners entering the country
illegally over the security and economic prosperity of American citizens. They reduced themselves to the absurd
position that "walls don't work."

1: Democrats Act to Strip State Powers Over Elections. If you thought the midterm elections had problems, wait
until you learn about Nancy Pelosi's plan to terminate state control over American elections. [...] The Constitution
decentralizes power over American elections and puts states in charge. H.R. 1 would undo that.
Decentralization promotes individual liberty. When power over elections is centralized, it is easier for that power to
be abused. When power over elections is decentralized, no single malevolent actor can exert improper control over the
process. That is precisely why Democrats are so eager for Washington, D.C., to have more power over our elections.
The Dems Who Cried 'Wolf!'
When Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer did their thing at that podium after the President's Oval Office address, they wildly
accused him of stoking "fear" and engaging in a "temper tantrum." Yet, we just had seen the President's speech to the
nation moments before. There was no temper tantrum. We saw it. We heard it.
New
Dem Talking Point: Wall Is *Luxury* We Can't Afford. It's so hard to keep up with the Dems: from "illegal
immigration is wrong," to "they aren't illegal, just undocumented," to "there's a crisis at the border" to "the so-called crisis is
a manufactured one," to "border walls are ineffective," to "border walls are immoral," and now this, from Pelosi: [Video clip]
Nancy's problem.
The Democrat majority in the House of Representatives is paper-thin. [...] As new House Democrats see that they can deliver
absolutely nothing to their constituents after Nancy has promised the nation that she will use the House majority to do great
things, these new House members will be put in a difficult position. President Trump can probably peel away enough of
these new Democrat House members who came from congressional districts that Trump carried comfortably in 2018 — a
dozen or fewer would be more than enough — to pass some reforms over the protests of Speaker Pelosi and make her
look like a clueless windbag tied to the coastal elites and indifferent to real America.
Nancy
Pelosi wants to talk morality. Here are three questions she won't answer. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has
cited her moral values as reasons to oppose President Donald Trump's planned border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Pelosi won't fund a border wall because it would be "immoral" to do so, she has repeatedly asserted. Given Pelosi's
recent moral outspokenness, The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to her office with three other moral questions, in
hopes that she would answer them. She would not. The three questions are below: • Putting
aside the question of whether abortion should be legal or not, does Pelosi think sex-selective abortions — e.g.
aborting an unborn baby solely because she's a girl — are immoral? • Does Pelosi think it's
immoral to coerce Catholic nuns to subsidize birth control? • Does Pelosi think it's immoral for
Democratic senators to use membership in a Catholic charitable organization, the Knights of Columbus, as a negative test for
judicial office? Pelosi's office declined to provide an answer to any of the above questions.
Pelosi Says
Stories Like Ronil Singh's Are 'Tragic,' But Not Enough To Call A 'Crisis'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stood by
Democrats' belief Thursday that the border issue is a "manufactured crisis" created by Republicans and President Donald Trump,
and claimed there is not enough data about those who have suffered at the hands of illegal aliens to say otherwise.
The New Kakistocracy.
Kakistocracy is a badly underused word which needs to make a major comeback this year, as it is perfectly descriptive of the
cabal of loons, clowns, demagogues, crooks and halfwits who are now in charge of the House of Representatives. The
literal definition of the word is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous
citizens. [...] Start with [Nancy] Pelosi, who's a proven commodity. She got four years as House Speaker from
2007-2011, after which the American people reacted to her governance as they would a rabid coyote in the front yard.
She's hardly improved since — if anything, the episodic moonbattery, unnatural facial tics, brazen public
untruths, and irrational pronouncements have become even more frequent and frightening than they were a dozen years
ago. That's not a surprise given Pelosi's age and clearly declining faculties.
Nancy
Pelosi takes the gavel in the House and what's her first target? Free speech. The last time there was a
real campaign finance scandal was during the 1996 election cycle when it was discovered that China funneled illegal
contributions into our political system to help Bill Clinton and the Democrats' re-election efforts. That investigation
resulted in more than 25 individuals being charged with crimes by the Department of Justice. In the wake of that
investigation, President George W. Bush signed the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act into
law, which was largely overturned by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United decision. Fast forward to today and the
left's effort to restrict free speech in America is still front and center. But now, the liberals are forced to scream
at the top of their lungs about fake corruption in our campaign finance system because little, if any, actually exists.
Pelosi,
Nielsen clashed during border-security meeting: 'I reject your facts,' House speaker said, according to report.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen got into a tense confrontation this week, with
the California Democrat interrupting Nielsen's presentation on border security and illegal immigration, telling her "I reject
your facts." [...] At one point during the meeting, according to the Wall Street Journal, Pelosi interrupted Nielsen, who was
citing statistics related to the border, including how many criminal illegal immigrants attempted to enter the U.S. last
year. "I reject your facts," Pelosi told Nielsen[.] "These aren't my facts," Nielsen shot back. "These are
the facts."
Pelosi:
The Constitution Considers Me Trump's Equal. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said in an
interview with the New York Times that the Constitution considers her to be President Donald Trump's equal. Pelosi is
set to regain the speaker's gavel after spending eight years as House minority leader. Pelosi was the first female
speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011, and she maneuvered to get the party's votes necessary to secure the speakership again
after Democrats won back the chamber in the November midterms. In a piece with a headline declaring her an "icon of
female power," Pelosi was asked by the reporter "if she considers herself Mr. Trump's equal." "The Constitution
does," she replied.
The
Truth About Democratic Morality. Democrat Nancy Pelosi said Trump's border wall is immoral and too
expensive. Hearing Pelosi lecture Trump and the American people about morality is beyond repulsive. Pelosi, her
fellow Democrats and fake news media seek to prevent our side from using the word "morality" in the political arena.
Any Republican and conservative who dares bring up the morality of an issue is immediately branded a religious nut, trying to
force their wacko outdated values onto the public. Pelosi and her minions are flooding the airwaves with their absurd
perverted narrative that building a wall (to protect Americans) is immoral. Meanwhile, these wicked Democrats who
refuse to secure our borders live in highly secured and gated communities.
Pelosi's
Pick to Lead Climate Crisis Committee Owned Stock in Top Polluters. Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D., Calif.)
choice to lead the House Climate Crisis Committee owned stock in several companies that rank among the nation's top air and
water polluters. Last week, Pelosi announced that Democratic congresswoman Kathy Castor (Fla.) would chair the newly
reconstituted House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. Pelosi's decision to reestablish the committee, which
existed from 2007 until 2011 when it was disbanded by Republicans, signals that climate change will be a top priority for the
new Democratic majority.
Kellyanne
Conway says Pelosi needs to cap Hawaii vacation to talk shutdown. Reports surfaced Friday [12/28/2018] that
[Nancy] Pelosi, D-Calif., was spending the New Year's holiday period at a Hawaiian resort rather than trying to reach an
agreement on a funding package that could pass both the House and the Senate given congressional Democrats do not appear
willing to provide any more than $1.6 [sic] for border security.
Dems Plan
Their Coup As the World Burns. Democrats aren't concerned about illegal aliens pouring into the country without
any screening whatsoever. They are happy about it and they all went on vacation rather than do something constructive.
[...] Nancy [Pelosi] is basking away at an exclusive Hawaiian resort that costs $5,000 a night. A person answering the
media contact number for Pelosi's office identified herself as "press desk." When asked about the vacation, she told the
Washington Examiner: "I'm not allowed to talk about that." She said she would pass on a message to the deputy chief
of staff, Drew Hammill, who did not respond, the [Washington] Examiner reports.
Pelosi:
'The Existential Threat of the Climate Crisis' Threatens 'The Whole of God's Creation'. While vacationing in Hawaii
on Friday [12/28/2018], House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) announced in a statement that she will be naming Rep. Kathy
Castor (D.-Fla.) to chair a new committee the incoming Democrat-controlled House of Representatives will create to deal with
"the climate crisis." Pelosi described the "climate crisis" as an "existential threat" that threatens "the whole of God's
creation." "The American people have demanded action to combat the climate crisis, which threatens our public health, our
economy, our national security and the whole of God's creation," said Pelosi.
The Editor says...
According to Gallup,
only five percent of Americans consider "Environment-Pollution" to be this country's top problem. And that category is broad enough to include smoke from
wildfires (caused by Democrat mismanagement), bad
drinking water in Detroit (ditto),
plastic straws in the ocean (a non-problem), styrofoam cups (ditto), light pollution (ditto), carbon dioxide in the air (which is not
pollution at all), needles and feces in the streets (caused by Democrat politics), and many other minor issues that have been caused or
amplified by people like Nancy Pelosi. Hardly anyone, according to Gallup, is demanding action to "combat the climate crisis," since
there is no crisis. Minor problems here and there, in Democrat-controlled states and cities, but no crises, and certainly nothing that
threatens our national security. To say that climate problems threaten "the whole of God's creation" is a meaningless emotional
outburst intended only to generate headlines and sound bites. Baby-killing
Democrats only mention God when it is politically expedient.
Nancy
Pelosi Endures Partial Government Shutdown at Luxury Resort in Hawaii. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House minority
leader and, most likely, soon-to-be House speaker (D-CA), is enduring the partial federal government shutdown at a luxury
resort in Hawaii. The Washington Free Beacon reported that Pelosi, who calls the impasse over $5 billion for a border
wall the "Trump shutdown," is at Fairmont Orchid resort, where prices range from $899 per night for a standard room to $4,899
a night for the presidential suite.
'I'm
not allowed to talk about that': Nancy Pelosi office stonewalls on her shutdown vacation in Hawaii. Nancy
Pelosi, the next speaker of the House of Representatives, is reportedly spending the government shutdown at a Hawaiian
resort. A person answering the media contact number for Pelosi's office identified herself as "press desk." When asked
about the vacation, she told the Washington Examiner: "I'm not allowed to talk about that." She said she would pass on
a message on to the deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, who did not respond. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the
California Democrat was seen Thursday [12/27/2018] at the Fairmont Orchid resort, which features accommodations up to almost $5,000
a night.
Nancy Pelosi Announces
Plans For A House 'Climate Crisis' Committee After Flying Thousands Of Miles To A Hawaiian Resort. House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced Friday [12/28/2018] that Democrats would create a Select Committee on the Climate
Crisis in 2019, which will be headed by Florida Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor. [...] Pelosi, who's expected to be elected
House speaker in 2019, said there's "tremendous pressure" for Democrats to make fighting global warming a central part of
their agenda in the new year. Pelosi made her announcement amid a government shutdown after she flew thousands of miles
to a luxurious Hawaiian hotel where she was spotted Thursday, according to reports.
The Editor says...
Ms. Pelosi isn't the only global warming crusader who's a frequent flyer.
Nancy
Pelosi is spotted vacationing at $899-a-night Hawaii hotel as White House blasts her for refusing to enter talks to end
week-long government shutdown. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was spotted at a luxury hotel in Hawaii just
before the partial government shutdown entered its seventh day Friday, with little sign of progress to end it. The
likely speaker didn't appear to miss out on any negotiations, as talks between the White House and Democratic congressional
leaders appear to have ceased, even as hundreds of thousands of federal employees remain on furlough. Pelosi's office
says the White House hasn't contacted them since December 11, when Trump said at a tense meeting he would claim the
'mantle' of a shutdown.
Nancy
Pelosi Takes Advantage Of Government Shutdown; Vacations At Luxury Hawaiian Resort. Democrats are standing firm
on their commitment to make America less safe, by refusing to give President Trump the funding he's requested to construct a
wall on our southern border. Democrat lawmakers, like Nancy Pelosi, were quick to blame President Trump for the partial
shutdown of the government. They warned about how government employees and members of our US military would suffer the
consequences. Unlike the Democrat lawmakers, President Trump canceled his trip to Florida for Christmas, choosing
instead, to visit our troops overseas and to stay back at the White House, making himself available in case the Democrats
want to come back to D.C. and agree to fund the wall.
Trump
Cancels Florida Christmas Trip Over Shutdown — Nancy Pelosi Vacations in Hawai. House Speaker-to-be Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) was spotted Thursday [12/27/2018] vacationing in Hawaii at the Fairmont Orchid resort during the government shutdown.
Rooms at this posh resort range from $899-a-night for a standard room to $4,899-a-night for the presidential suite, reported the Free Beacon.
Former
ICE chief Tom Homan rips Nancy Pelosi for doubting border wall works. Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan on
Wednesday blasted House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi for calling a border wall ineffective and accusing President Trump of
"fear mongering" with the illegal immigration issue. "Every place a wall or barrier has been built, it has resulted in
decreased illegal immigration, decreased drug smuggling. One hundred percent of the time, it has proven effective,"
Mr. Homan said on Fox News, where he is a contributor. "Look at the rest of the data on the border, where arrests
of MS-13 [gang] this year are up 118 percent, the seizures of guns [...] are up almost 200 percent. There's
your data. Look at it. You can see why we need a wall," he said.
Nancy
suffers brain glitch, slurs words, vows to keep 'govt closed forever'. Something is seriously wrong with Nancy
Pelosi. During her weekly news conference on Thursday, the soon-to-be House Speaker vowed "keep the government closed
forever" before agreeing to fund President Donald Trump's border wall. "We're not going for the $5 billion for the
wall. We simply are not," she said, blankly staring at the cameras.
The
Gospel According to Nancy: No Borders, Kill Babies. Summarizing her and Chuck Schumer's meeting with
Trump, she told the media, "I myself thought we should open the meeting with a prayer, which I did. I told him about
King Solomon, when he was to become king of the Jews, he prayed to God, he said: 'I need you to give me great
understanding and wisdom, Lord.'" King Solomon is Pelosi's favorite Bible character, especially because he proposed
solving a problem by cutting a baby in half. Now Sister Nancy's praying for Trump to keep the government open so
federal employees can finish their Christmas shopping. It's an axiom that if a conservative says his faith informs his
political decisions, he'll be condemned for establishing a state religion, while liberals get to veer back and forth over the
church-state centerline as freely as those motorists who love to text while driving.
Nancy
Pelosi due to be America's oldest House speaker. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is on course to become the
oldest person in history to hold the speaker's gavel now that she has secured a deal to give her at least two more years as
the top House of Representatives leader. Pelosi, now 78, will be almost 81 at the close of the 116th Congress, which
ends on Jan. 3, 2021. That will make her nearly a year older than legendary Speaker Sam Rayburn, D-Texas, who died
in office less than two months shy of his 80th birthday. Pelosi will turn 80 on March 26, 2020, a little more than
a year into her new speaker's term. She will achieve the milestone of oldest ever speaker on Feb. 7, 2020 —
beating Rayburn's record.
Angel Moms
Call Out Nancy Pelosi: Would You Support Border Wall if It Saved Your Loved One? Angel Moms whose
children have been murdered by illegal aliens living in the United States called out incoming House Speaker Rep. Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), asking them if they would support a border wall if it meant their loved
ones would be saved from illegal alien crime.
Pelosi
struggles to clamp down on impeachment talk from angry Dems. House Democrats say incoming House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., will have her hands full next year trying to keep her caucus from pursuing President Trump's impeachment.
Democrats see a chance to hit Trump hard after his former lawyer Michael Cohen's three-year sentence, and his claim that Trump
directed payments to two women to keep them silent about alleged affairs. They think it will be difficult for Pelosi to
keep them from pursuing an impeachment process in the House[.]
Pelosi
Vows To 'Rescue Our Democracy,' But It's Her Party Breaking It. Soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says
Democrats' top priority next year will be to fix "our broken democracy." But it's Democrats who are busy breaking it.
Any time they don't like the election results they claim Republican chicanery.
Democrats
Nominate Nancy Pelosi for House Speaker. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday won the House Democrat
leadership election to be the party's next nominee for speaker after running unopposed.
Pelosi,
Democrats back off on Trump impeachment. As House Democrats begin laying out the vision for their new majority,
that item is noticeably missing from the to-do list and firmly on the margins.
Marcia
Fudge Supports Pelosi for Speaker After Being Promised Chairmanship of Subcommittee on Elections.
Rep. Marcia Fudge (D., Ohio) announced Tuesday she would be supporting House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D., Calif.)
bid for speaker of the House just hours after Pelosi announced that she was planning to revive the House Administration
subcommittee on elections and make Fudge the chair. Fudge, who had been mulling a potential bid to challenge Pelosi in
January's Democratic leadership elections, released a statement saying that she was joining her colleagues to support the
leadership team of Pelosi, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D., Md.), and House Assistant Minority Leader James Clyburn (D., S.C.)
Will Democratic Rebels
Dethrone Nancy? After adding at least 37 seats and taking control of the House by running on change,
congressional Democrats appear to be about to elect as their future leaders three of the oldest faces in the party.
Nancy Pelosi of California and Steny Hoyer of Maryland have led the House Democrats for 16 years. For 12 years,
they have been joined in the leadership triumvirate by Jim Clyburn of South Carolina. If these three emerge as speaker,
majority leader and majority whip, all three Democratic leaders will be older than our oldest president, Ronald Reagan, was
when he went home after two terms. By 2020's election, all three House leaders would be over 80.
Battle over Pelosi's speaker bid reveals the
dysfunction in Congress. Having led Democrats in the House of Representatives for nearly 16 years, four of them as
speaker, you'd think Nancy Pelosi would be a shoo-in as the first speaker in six decades to return to that job. But wait just one
San Francisco minute. The first female speaker, who will turn 79 in March, is facing a growing chorus of demands for change from
younger members, the very ones her prodigious fundraising and pugnacious politics helped elect and re-elect this month. Sixteen
of them wrote a public letter against her reign.
16
House Democrats Vow 'Never Nancy' In Open Letter. As the opposition forces against Nancy Pelosi's bid for House
Speaker may be starting to see fissures in the ranks, some fierce holdouts have made their distaste for the establishment
Democrat known. According to Fox News, a total of 16 U.S. House Democrats circulated a letter on Monday declaring
themselves "Never Nancy" while calling for "new leadership" without saying who that new leader should be. The letter
cordially begins by thanking Pelosi for her years of service as House Speaker before calling for a "change" in leadership.
Sixteen
House Democrats oppose Pelosi, offer no rival. Sixteen Democratic members of Congress vowed on Monday
[11/19/2018] to oppose fellow Democrat Nancy Pelosi's bid to become speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, but none of
them openly said they would run against her.
Nancy
Pelosi faces a serious challenge from Democrats in bid to be House speaker. Rep. Tim Ryan had just been
sworn in to Congress when he first voted for Nancy Pelosi to be speaker of the House in 2003. The Ohio Democrat voted
for her again in the next seven elections, helping elevate her to the role and making her the first-ever woman to reach the
House's highest post in 2007, and sticking with her even after Democrats lost the chamber in 2011. In his 16 years
in Congress, Mr. Ryan has never known a Democratic leader other than Mrs. Pelosi. He says it's long enough.
It's the Ocasio-Cortez party
now — Nancy Pelosi is just leading it. Socialist know-nothing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the future
of the Democrat Party. Nancy Pelosi is its past, but she's probably its present too despite threats to deny her another
Speakership. The Ocasio-Cortez contingent in the party has determined that Nancy Pelosi simply isn't radical
enough. That will be news to many on the American Right for whom she has served as a longtime bête noir and
whose strident advocacy of San Francisco values provided fodder for countless Republican campaign ads and fundraising
letters. For Republicans she's a radical who favors amnesty, citizenship, and voting rights for illegal aliens,
government funded abortion on demand, and impeaching the president. But in the current Democrat Party she's a mushy
moderate. For her part, Ocasio-Cortez spent Tuesday, her first day in Washington, DC, protesting climate change in
Pelosi's office. And here I thought climate change was President Trump's fault.
Nancy
Pelosi knows impeachment fervor could backfire — and doom Democrats' 2020 hopes. Mrs. Pelosi is
in a bind. Many in her caucus, and in her party, are giddy over the prospect of impeaching President Trump. She
opposes that path, a position that makes her even more unpopular with those eager for someone new at the top. A careful
and seasoned vote counter, she told Chris Cuomo on CNN that she is "100 percent" confidant [sic] she will be re-elected
Speaker. She is probably correct, but it's not a done deal.
Nancy
Pelosi: Mueller Doesn't Have to Indict Trump for Congress to Impeach Him. Nancy pelosi really does not
want to impeach Donald Trump — and she's prepared to take all the heat from her party and from the new House Democratic
majority she's hoping to lead, unless she sees something wildly different emerge. But she said she won't let Robert Mueller
define the decision.
Americans
want a House Speaker other than Nancy Pelosi. But they don't really matter. According to Gallup, a large
majority of U.S. Democrats want someone else. Only 39 percent want her back, while 56 percent don't. By the way,
they've felt that way for some time. A June Gallup Poll of Americans at large found only 29 percent had a favorable
view of the woman who represents most of the troubled city of San Francisco.
Opposition
to Pelosi hardens. Ten Democratic incumbents or members-elect told Politico that they will vote against Nancy
Pelosi for speaker on the House floor, exposing a serious problem for the California Democrat in her bid to reclaim the
gavel. Eight sitting lawmakers or their offices said on Thursday [11/8/2018] that they will oppose Pelosi on the
floor. Two candidates who won on Tuesday previously said the same.
Nancy
Pelosi Gives Awkward Fist Pump And Yells: "Let's hear it for pre-existing conditions!". Nancy Pelosi gave
us a taste of what to expect when she becomes Speaker of the House... Yikes! [...] The Democrats lied and used pre-existing
conditions to sell different candidates in the midterms. Messaging from Republicans was non-existent so Americans
bought the lie. President Trump just said a few days ago that the Republicans will, in fact, keep pre-existing
conditions for Americans. Republicans should keep this in mind when 2020 comes around.
Pelosi
Says She's Democrat Best Fit for Speaker: 'I'm Really Good at What I Do'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D., Calif.) said in a new interview that she is best fit to be the next speaker of the House if Democrats win a majority in
the 2018 midterm elections on Tuesday, suggesting that none of her Democratic colleagues should get to serve in the position
while she is in Congress. Pelosi spoke to HuffPost about her 31 years in the House and 17 years in
Democratic leadership, highlighting her confidence in the Democrats regaining control of the House.
Here
Come The Crazies! Nancy Pelosi As Speaker, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Elijah Cummings In Leadership Roles. Trump's
Republican Party has lost control of the U.S. House of Representatives, as predicted, but Democrats could well install Rep. Nancy
Pelosi as the new Speaker — and that's a gift that just keeps on giving. The 78-year-old Democrat from California,
who was House Speaker from 2007 until the GOP took control of the chamber in 2011, is poised to resume that powerful position —
and she wants it.
Pelosi
tells audience, 'San Francisco values, that's what we're about'. Has Nancy Pelosi joined the GOP team anxious
to scare voters away from voting for the donkey party? The pejorative use of the expression "San Francisco values," to
indicate a loss of decency, tradition, and sanity, has at least two decades of history, and arguably almost three and a half,
since Jeanne Kirkpatrick denounced "San Francisco Democrats" at the 1984 Republican Convention. Today, San Francisco is
the exemplar of a city that has driven out the middle class and features the worst-looking income gap between rich and
poor. San Francisco's poor languish in its streets in the worst display of the degradation of poverty this side of
Calcutta. San Francisco's homelessness, its open drug use, and the spread of human feces on the sidewalks there have
made being a pedestrian there a health risk.
Pelosi:
'San Francisco Values, That's What We're About'. Saturday [11/3/2018] while speaking to campaign volunteers in
California, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said "San Francisco values" were what Democratic Party is about.
Pelosi said, "I don't mind when they say things about me like I'm a liberal. I like that." She continued, "But
when they say San Francisco liberal, as if to make it sound like it's something negative, them's fightin' words. Don't
attack my city. Don't attack my city. But, San Francisco values, that's what we're about. [...]"
Pelosi
on Caravan: Republicans Have 'Baseless Fear of Some Families 1,000 Miles Away from the Border'. House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issued a statement about immigration on Friday in which she said Republicans were using
"fearmongering rhetoric." "The GOP is desperate to change the conversation from their assault on Americans' health care
to the baseless fear of some families 1,000 miles away from the border," Pelosi said, referring to the "caravan" of thousands
of people now heading north though Mexico toward the U.S. border.
Former
ICE Director: 'Nancy Pelosi Makes Me Sick to my Stomach'. Nancy Pelosi is a burr under everyone's saddle.
Oddly enough, she even gets on Democrat's nerves. Former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has said some off the wall
things in her career. However, Now she admits that voting Democrat will help out illegal aliens. Of course, it
would. Now, former ICE Director, Daniel Ragsdale, says her agenda makes him sick to his stomach. House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) encouraged people to vote for Democrats in November's midterm elections to give "leverage" to
illegal immigrants in the immigration debate. Dems want to open our borders to everyone in the world.
L.A.
Times: Nancy Pelosi Has Been 'Grooming' Adam Schiff as Possible Successor. The Los Angeles Times
reported Friday [10/19/2018] that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who intends to become Speaker of the House if
Democrats win the November midterm elections, "has quietly been grooming potential successors, among them Rep. Adam Schiff."
Pelosi
calls border wall 'immoral' — while protecting her Napa vineyard with one. Self-proclaimed future
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is laying out her priorities for after Democrats' assumed victory in the midterms, and she's made
it clear there's "nothing" that will persuade her to approve President Trump's promised border wall. Erecting a big
beautiful wall along the nation's southern border to stop the steady flood of illegal immigrants and drugs is "immoral,
expensive, ineffective, not something that people do between countries," Pelosi said in response to a question at Harvard's
Institute of Politics on Tuesday, according to The Harvard Gazette. "In any event it happens to be like a manhood issue
for the president," she said, "and it's wrong and I'm not interested in that."
Nancy
Pelosi Details Democrats' Plan for Open Borders: 'I Don't See Any of Us Voting for Wall Funding'. House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says that if the Democrats take back the House in the 2018 midterm elections, none of
them will vote for President Trump's wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. In an interview with Politico, Pelosi detailed
her plans — or lack thereof — for the U.S.-Mexico border and national immigration policy, which does
not include Trump's proposed border wall. "I don't see any of us voting for wall funding," Pelosi said. "We have
a responsibility to secure our borders," Pelosi said. "There are ways to do that that are consistent with civilization,
humanitarianism, and who we are as a nation. We have to remove all doubt about that."
Nancy Pelosi accused of bribery.
House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi will do anything to maintain power after the election — including bribery. That's
according to 3rd Massachusetts congressional district candidate Rick Green, who said Pelosi's latest "stunt" in his district was nothing
more than a bribe for his opponent, Lori Trahan. He accused Pelosi and Trahan of exchanging fundraising cash in return for support
after the midterm.
Gun
Control: Six Ways Nancy Pelosi Aims to Take Away Firearm Freedoms. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) believes securing gun control is more important than continuing to win elections and she supports numerous controls
that will she undoubtedly pursue if Democrats gain control of the House. The Washington Times reported that Pelosi
reacted to the February 14, 2018, Parkland high school shooting by stressing that securing more gun control is a "higher
[priority] than winning the next election." In other words, she expressed willingness to trade her political career for the
opportunity to restrict Americans' Second Amendment rights. Here are six gun controls Pelosi is certain to pursue if
Democrats take control of Congress: [...]
The
Left is promising to abuse power if they win; voters should take them seriously. In 2005, the Supreme Court
issued its landmark decision in Kelo v. New London, diminishing Americans' property rights. The ruling said that
governments can seize your home through eminent domain, even if their intention is merely to hand the land over to private
developers. Conservatives saw this as one more bad ruling from a Supreme Court that issued a whole lot of them.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was a bit more sanguine, and her famous response exemplifies the respect and
reverence that liberals once had for the Supreme Court, just so long as it was influencing culture and moving the national
conversation in a way they liked. "It is a decision of the Supreme Court," she said, emphasizing its finality.
"If Congress wants to change it, it will require legislation of a level of a constitutional amendment. So this is
almost as if God has spoken."
Pelosi
Shoots Feinstein in Foot, Files FOIA on Report Colleague Wanted Private. California Democratic Sen. Dianne
Feinstein had previously moved to seal the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh, as CNN's Elizabeth Landers reported. Many
construed Feinstein's move to be an attempted coverup of just how thoroughly the FBI investigation refuted the accusations
against Kavanaugh. Regardless of her intent, Feinstein made it clear she wanted the FBI investigation to remain sealed
and away from the public. Now, however, one of Feinstein's fellow California Democrats has basically shot her in the
foot. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, in a written statement to her colleagues, revealed on Saturday that she was
filing a Freedom of Information Act request on the FBI's investigation into Kavanaugh's alleged sexual assaults.
Nancy
Pelosi's Kavanaugh Email: 'Never Forget and Never Forgive'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) advised
her email list recipients to "never forget and never forgive" while soliciting donations in a Sunday email following the
confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The email's donation hyperlinks connect to ActBlue, a 501(c)4
nonprofit facilitating fundraising for Democrats and the broader left, and the donation page promises donors that their money
will be used to "support President Obama's legacy."
Democrat
Leader Pelosi Compares Judge Kavanaugh to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. Nancy Pelosi spoke at an
Anti-Kavanaugh protest in Washington DC on Wednesday [10/3/2018]. Pelosi condemned Republicans for their treatment of
Judge Kavanaugh accuser Christine Ford. Ford accused Kavanaugh of groping her 36 years ago at an unknown place and
time. The only alleged witnesses all refuted the claim even her good friend of several years who has NEVER been at ANY
party with Brett Kavanaugh. Democrats want to destroy Judge Kavanaugh over these baseless accusations.
Pelosi:
I'm Praying for 'Divine Intervention' to Stop Kavanaugh. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said
Friday [9/28/2018] she is praying for "divine intervention" to stop Brett Kavanaugh from reaching the Supreme Court.
Pelosi spent much of her press briefing addressing the controversy surrounding the explosive Senate Judiciary Commitee
hearing where Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused him of sexual assault, testified on Thursday.
Nancy
Pelosi: Civilization 'In Jeopardy' If GOP Takes Senate. On the one hand, California U.S. Rep. Nancy
Pelosi claims that Democrats are not "fear-mongers;" on the other hand, she believes civilization is doomed if Republicans
take control of the Senate from Democrats in November. The former speaker of the House made those dramatic, incongruous
statements on "Real Time with Bill Maher," which aired live from Washington, D.C. Friday [9/14/2018]. Maher asked Pelosi
about recent polling which shows that the GOP is likely to take over the upper chamber and asked, given gridlock in Washingon,
why it matters that Democrats keep control. "It would be very important for the Democrats to retain control of the Senate,"
Pelosi told Maher. "Civilization as we know it today would be in jeopardy if the Republicans win the Senate."
Pelosi
renews Obama's 'war on coal,' backs group looking to shut down coal plants. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., is renewing President Barack Obama's so-called "war on coal" by backing a radical initiative to shut down more than
a third of U.S. coal plants by 2020 — a line of attack that spectacularly backfired for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Nancy
Pelosi Trashes Jobs Report Analysts Call 'Greatest of All Time'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who
would likely become Speaker of the House if Democrats win the midterm elections in November, trashed Friday's [9/7/2018] jobs
report — even though Blackrock called it "the greatest of all time." The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported
that the U.S. economy created 201,000 new jobs in August — more than the 190,000 expected — and unemployment
stayed at 3.9%. Moreover, wages grew 2.9% year-on-year.
Dems
Are "Monkeying Around" With an Expression Barack Obama Used. Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis used
a common expression in reference to the socialism his opponent supports and the Internet grew irate over it. They
decided to misinterpret what he said. "The last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist
agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state," Ron DeSantis said on Fox News in reference to his race against
Tallahassee Communist Mayor Andrew Gillum. Gillum is black and the bigots equated the word 'monkey' with him although
that is obviously not what innocent DeSantis meant. He's not a bigot so it never occurred to him.
Catholic
Nancy Pelosi Prays to God for the Continued Killing of the Unborn. Roman Catholic Nancy Pelosi, who is not
allowed to receive communion, was recently asked, "Speaking of women's rights, how do we stop Kavanaugh...?" Her answer
is demonic to some of us. To those who agree with her, take into account the point to be made here. She is praying
to the creator of life to allow Americans to continue killing.
Document:
Nancy Pelosi Will Destroy Trump Presidency with over 100 Investigations If Dems Win House. A spreadsheet
reportedly circulating among House Republicans details over 100 potential investigations into President Donald Trump that
Democrats will launch if they win the November elections. They intend to impeach him — or, at best, cripple
his presidency. The document, reported by Axios on Sunday [8/26/2018] and hinted at by HuffPost on Friday (which put the
number at a mere 52 investigations), is said to have Republicans "getting ready for hell," as Democrats will use oversight to create
gridlock, or worse
Pelosi
mocks coal, West Virginia in rambling, incoherent presentation. I bet that Senator Joe Manchin is not the only
Democrat grinding his teeth over the latest spectacle Nancy Pelosi has made of herself. The syntax-challenged
speaker-wannabe allowed her mouth to get ahead of her brain when on stage at the Public Policy Institute of California, and
she managed to mock and insult the people of West Virginia while babbling and gesturing wildly. [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi's Iron Grip on House Democrats. If Democrats win a majority in the House of Representatives this fall,
it is extremely likely that Nancy Pelosi will become speaker again. Not only is there a lack of consensus among
Democrats about an alternative candidate for speaker, but Pelosi herself is pledging to crush any opposition.
Defiant
Pelosi says she's staying: 'I can take the heat'. Pushing back on those who say her leadership position is in jeopardy,
Pelosi all but dared her doubters to envision any other House Democrat sitting across the table to negotiate with Trump.
22
Dem Candidates Who Distanced Themselves from Pelosi and Accepted Her Cash. More than 20 Democratic candidates
who have come out against, or dodged questions about whether they would vote for, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) for
speaker if Democrats were to regain control of the House this fall have accepted cash from Pelosi's leadership PAC and
campaign committee, according to a review of Federal Election Commission filings. Pelosi has an approval rating
hovering in the high 20s. Her low approval rating and high name recognition have led Republicans around the country to
tie Democratic candidates to the unpopular minority leader. As of Aug. 10, NBC News compiled a list of 57 Democratic
candidates who have come out against Pelosi for speaker with around 40 remaining non-committal on whether they would vote for Pelosi.
Nancy
Pelosi: Maxine Waters 'Strikes Fear in the Heart' of Trump. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
claimed on Wednesday that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) "strikes fear in the heart" of President Donald Trump. Pelosi
was responding to Trump's tweet that wished "Happy Birthday to the leader of the Democrat Party, Maxine Waters!"
Pelosi
'Pinocchioed' by Washington Post for Accusing McConnell of Racist Remark. Even the liberal newspaper, The
Washington Post, has called out House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for "twisting" a comment made by
a Republican in 2010 into an alleged racial slur. On Tuesday [8/14/2018], the Post published a fact-check article
titled, "Nancy Pelosi twists an old McConnell quote into a 'racist statement,' in which it gave Pelosi's comment its worst
rating of "four Pinocchios" (a "Whopper") for the following claims made Sunday on MSNBC: [...]
Are this year's midterms the
last stand for Nancy Pelosi? This November's election is likely the last chance Nancy Pelosi has to become the
first former House speaker to regain the job in more than six decades. She's vowed to do it. But then as the
Democrats' minority leader, she's vowed to do it for four straight House elections. And she has failed every time,
starting with the historic 2010 drubbing by Republicans, who seized 63 seats
Nancy
Pelosi Says President Trump's "Whole Thing Is Make America White Again". In an interview with MSNBC's Jonathan
Capehart Sunday, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said the President's entire agenda is "make America white again."
This woman is evil. Pelosi has no platform except for the ad hominem attacks. Her latest is to claim Trump is the
master of the "dog whistle". She has to say that since she can't actually come up with a real quote.
GOP
so appreciates Nancy Pelosi's political presence. Nancy Pelosi may lose her train of thought and forget key
words more often these days. But Republicans are hoping the 78-year-old House Democrat leader can hang in there at
least through this fall's election. And if fortune smiles on the GOP, future ones too. This is the fifth straight
set of House elections that Republicans have used her as the ultimate liberal bete noire to drive party faithful to the
November polls for GOP House candidates. It works.
Democrats
opposing Pelosi. Here's the list of 51 Democratic candidates and incumbents who won't support minority leader
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for Speaker if the party takes the House in the November elections.
Nancy
Pelosi Promises Huge Gift To Illegal Aliens If Dems Win The Midterms. During a recent speech Nancy Pelosi made
disturbing promises for illegal aliens if Democrats win the midterm elections. According to Pelosi, voting Democrat
will give them 'leverage.' First she claimed that this country is one big immigrant family, and that Republicans are trying
to destroy that family.
Nancy
Pelosi's Agenda: Impeach Trump, Raise Taxes, Bail Out Obamacare. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) is set to take the gavel again, polls and pundits suggest. The House Minority Leader managed to survive leading
her party to one of the worst defeats in congressional history in 2010, after she ballooned the deficit and pushed Obamacare
through passage. In most democracies, defeated party leaders resign and allow new ones to emerge. But Pelosi
clung to power, thanks to the fact that the only Democrats left were from urban enclaves like her own San Francisco.
Pelosi
is the star of GOP attack ads, worrying Democrats upbeat about midterms. While Democrats grow optimistic about
their chances of taking control of the House in November, they are increasingly anxious that the presence of their longtime
and polarizing leader, Nancy Pelosi, is making it harder for many of their candidates to compete in crucial swing
districts. Republicans, clinging to a 23-seat majority in the House, have made the House minority leader a central
element of their attack ads and are portraying many of their opponents as inextricably tied to the liberal from San
Francisco. At the same time, some Democrats are expressing alarm that she is standing in the way of the next generation
of leaders.
Poll:
Three-quarters of Americans say Nancy Pelosi should be replaced, including half of Democrats. Only 27 percent
of people surveyed in a new poll think Democrats should keep Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as their leader in the House, with
nearly half of Democrats surveyed saying the caucus should pick a new chief. The new American Barometer poll released Thursday
[8/9/2018] by Hill.TV and HarrisX found that just 51 percent of Democrats surveyed think that House Democrats should keep
Pelosi as their leader.
Nancy
Pelosi: Voting for Democrats Gives "Leverage" to Illegal Immigrants. Minority leader Nancy Pelosi told
supporters in El Paso, Texas, a border city on the US-Mexico divide, that Democrats give "leverage" to illegals. What
an amazing admission! And, of course, she conflates legal immigration with illegal immigration.
Dems
promise to subordinate men if they retake the House. Democrats are promising that women will be the ones
wearing the pants in the House if they get a majority in the November elections. That's because not only would
Nancy Pelosi become speaker, but 35 women would head major committees and subcommittees.
Nancy
Pelosi's outrageous effort to weaken America. Nancy Pelosi and her political cohorts provide ample evidence of just how
far our nation has fallen. On September 11, 2001, nineteen alien terrorists inflicted more casualties on the United States
than did the entire Japanese fleet on, the day that as President Roosevelt declared, would "live in infamy." Those 19
hijacker-terrorists turned passenger airliners into de facto cruise missiles — creating horrors and carnage that will be
forever etched in the minds and hearts of those who lived through those attacks on our nation. On July 27, 2018, Nancy Pelosi
uttered jaw-dropping description of the terror attacks of 9/11 as the "9/11 incident." How could anyone of sound mind and
possessing a firm grip on reality, describe the worst terror attack ever committed on U.S. soil as a merely "incident?"
Pelosi:
Yes, I Hope There's a 'Slippery Slope' Towards More Gun Control. [Scroll down] In reality, she's just
previewing how much of the Left will respond if this restriction gets implemented. They'll welcome incremental progress
while complaining bitterly that the measure is nowhere near strong or far-reaching enough, vowing that the battle is just
beginning, etc. Allahpundit thinks Pelosi is deliberately trying to blow up an emerging deal by "spooking" Republicans
and keeping Democratic attack points intact.
Pelosi Makes Big Slip While
Attacking Trump, Ends up Disgracing the Entire Country. In a recent press conference, Nancy Pelosi tried to slam
President Donald Trump and the GOP's border policy. The aging Democrat tried to make it seem like we're weaker
than they are. But as she sputtered and stammered, she made a big slip. It has patriots across the country furious.
Nancy Pelosi
spits in the face of 9/11 victims. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has said some very nasty things in the
past — but what she said Thursday [7/26/2018] is simply beyond the pale. While attacking President Donald
Trump's border security policy, Pelosi dismissed the Sep. 11th, 2001 Islamic terror attacks on the World Trade Center as just
an "incident."
Pelosi
describes 9/11 attacks as 'incident,' suggests GOP weaker on border than Democrats. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi described the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks as an "incident" during her weekly news conference Thursday
[7/26/2018]. The outlandish slip-up about the deadliest attack on U.S. soil came during a discussion in which Pelosi
criticized the Trump administration's stance on immigration and its claims that the Democrats have been weak on border security.
Pelosi
Misspeaks: Says 'Russian' Instead of 'Republican'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi misspoke at a press
briefing today on Capitol Hill, using "Russian" when she meant to say "Republican.["] The press conference was held to
criticize Republican policies on drug prices and healthcare for seniors. "Attacking the sacred right to healthcare is
in the Russian — er Republican — DNA," Pelosi said. As Pelosi and people in the room laughed,
Pelosi said: "I get these R-words mixed up."
The Editor says...
She gets a lot of things mixed up.
'This
is so extraordinary. The last thing you want in intelligence is partisanship': Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi
has savaged Donald Trump's plan to revoke security clearances for former Obama-era national security chiefs who have publicly
criticized him. Pelosi slammed the potential plan, which White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders revealed on Monday,
and called it a 'deflection' after Trump received intense criticism for his statements at last week's Helsinki summit.
'This is so extraordinary,' Pelosi said on Monday night [7/23/2018]. 'The last thing you want in intelligence is
partisanship, and we were able to avoid that for so long.'
The Editor says...
The Obama White House weaponized the intelligence agencies for the benefit of the Democratic Party for some considerable time before Trump
was elected — in order to keep Trump from being elected. Where was Nancy Pelosi while all that was going on?
Pelosi
suffers face spasm saying 'intelligence', calls colleague by wrong name. "Intelligence" triggers Nancy
Pelosi. When the House Minority Leader attempted to say the word today [7/17/2018], she suffered a face spasm —
just one of several during today's press conference with Intelligence Committee Democrats. [Video clip]
As
Pelosi [becomes] increasingly incoherent in public, Dems face a battle over leadership succession. Long-simmering
ethnic tensions in a party increasingly defined by identity politics could erupt if Nancy Pelosi's mental decline forces her to
bow out of her leadership of the Democrats' House Caucus. With African-Americans the largest loyal base constituency,
the fact that there has never been a black minority leader, much less speaker, the choice of her successor could split the party.
Potentially at stake is the Speakership that could result if the longed-for Blue Wave produces a Democrat House majority.
Nancy Pelosi Vows To 'Avenge
President Obama If It's The Last Thing I Do'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi promised to "avenge" former
President Barack Obama in a bizarre fundraising email sent out on Monday afternoon. The Democratic Congressional
Campaign sent out a letter under Pelosi's name that claimed she is going to make Republicans pay for confirming President
Donald Trump's nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy. Pelosi claimed that Republican ad-buys on behalf of Trump's
nominee will "eviscerate our chance to make Republicans pay for the Supreme Court seat they STOLE from President Obama."
Pelosi
forgets McConnell's name in interview. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi forgot the name of Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell during a Sunday interview, while explaining that recent criticism of her is sexist. In the
interview with Rolling Stone, Pelosi was asked what margin she believes she needed to win to become speaker of the House,
bringing up sexism in the Republican Party. "I think some of it is a little bit on the sexist side —
although I wouldn't normally say that. Except it's like, really? Has anyone asked whatshisname, the one who's the
head of Senate?" Pelosi asked.
Time to take away the car keys. Nancy
Pelosi sounding more bonkers than ever. Her mind wandering and her words not coming out right, House minority
leader Nancy Pelosi, 78, is sounding more addled than ever, unable to express any clear line of thought. This is
consequential if you are a Democrat, because she utterly refuses to step aside as leader of her party. In fact, she's
convinced everyone loves her. Look at this landscape of apparent dementia, based on her hour-long interview with
Rolling Stone.
Pelosi: 'Civilization
As We Know It ... Is at Risk in This Election'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said in a
Rolling Stone interview that civilization as we currently know it is "at risk" in the 2018 midterm election.
"You have something like 104 districts that are more favorable than the Conor Lamb district Democrats won in Pennsylvania.
That's probably too big a playing field to be serious about funding races all across it. How do you narrow it down?"
Rolling Stone reporter Tim Dickinson asked. "Civilization as we know it today is at risk in this election. We have
to win," Pelosi responded. "We have to win." Pelosi added that if the election was held today, Democrats would
win. "If the election were today — no question we would win," Pelosi said. "But you have to be aware of the
undercurrents. Because you don't know what can come along — and what comes along eclipses what you're doing."
Nancy Pelosi freaks
out over strong jobs report. The Labor Department announced Friday that June's job report beat expectations.
The U.S. economy added 231,000 new jobs, and over 600,000 new workers entered the workforce as optimism about our nation's
future grows. That's great news to everyone, except House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Democrats want
unemployment. The number of Americans holding jobs are [sic] at a record of 155,576,000. "U.S. employers kept up
a brisk hiring pace in June by adding 213,000 jobs in a sign of confidence despite the start of a potentially punishing trade war with
China," the Associated Press reported this morning. Democrats denounced this because they need financial misery to attain
power. "June jobs numbers show what is at stake from the brewing storm of rising health costs, spiraling trade uncertainty
and an economy being hollowed out to enrich big corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent," Nancy Pelosi said.
The Editor says...
The number of Americans holding jobs is at a record level.
Nancy
Pelosi Trashes June Jobs Report, Warns of 'Brewing Storm' of Wealth and Opportunity. Former Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) trashed the June jobs report — even though it showed rapid job growth, rising wages, and
low unemployment. The report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that employers created 213,000 new jobs in
June — 22,000 more than economists had expected. Manufacturing jobs in particular rose by 36,000. The
unemployment rate rose slightly, from 3.8% to 4.0% — but that was partly because so many people are entering (or
re-entering) the labor force.
Democrats Panic As Pelosi Slurs
Words, Suffers Odd 'Brain Malfunction' On Live TV. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suffered an odd
"brain malfunction" during a televised press conference on Capitol Hill this week. The Democrats are panicking after
hearing the way she carried on, stammering and slurring her words. According to The Daily Caller, at a press conference
this week, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi suffered several brain freezes and struggled to pronounce simple words like
"bean" and "repeat."
Obama
still backing Pelosi while other Democrats move on. The list of Democrats expressing frustration with House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been growing longer in recent weeks, but don't expect to see former President Barack Obama's
name on it. At a party fundraising event Friday afternoon [6/29/2018] in Northern California, Obama spoke highly of
Pelosi — and even predicted that she will return to the job of House speaker after November's midterm elections.
Pelosi:
'Our Values Are About ... Honoring the Vows of Our Founders'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.)
said in her weekly press briefing on Thursday [6/28/2018] that the Democratic Party is about "honoring the vows of our founders."
"Our values are about supporting America's working families, about honoring the vows of our Founders, about honoring the
sacrifice of our men and women in uniform, honoring the aspirations of our children," she said. "That is why we vote so
much alike because we have shared values," she said.
The Editor says...
What were "the vows of our Founders" and why do we need to honor someone else's vows? Aside from that, as is typical of a leftist, Ms. Pelosi
mentions a number of issues on which there is little disagreement, in order to make it seem that Democrats are in sync with every clear-thinking
God-loving American. But that is not the case. I don't know of any values that I share with a socialist, tax-and-spend, California
baby-killer. Besides, Ms. Pelosi is a pro-abortion Catholic. She isn't even in agreement with her own people.
Ingraham:
'The Bell Is Tolling for Nancy Pelosi' After Top NY Dem Falls to Young Socialist. Laura Ingraham said Wednesday
that a shocking primary defeat by a top Democrat in New York shows the party's voters rebelling against the establishment.
"Now the bell is tolling for Nancy Pelosi," she said, reacting to 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's surprise victory over
Rep. Joe Crowley, who is the fourth-ranking member of the House Democratic leadership. Pelosi denied Wednesday
[6/27/2018] that the victory by the Democratic Socialist and former Bernie Sanders organizer is a sign that the party is moving
further left. She said it's only representative of how people feel in that particular Bronx and Queens, N.Y. district.
Mad
Max and Nancy Pelosi: The twin faces of the Democratic Party. How delicious is it that the face of the
Democratic Party is that lovely duo, Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi? They are the gift that keeps on giving. So
deluded as to why Trump won, they seem to think their particular brand of madness that includes the public shaming of anyone
and everyone in the Trump administration is going to win back the House and Senate for their party.
Nancy
Pelosi In 2014: Ignore Family Separation Issue. [Scroll down] But in 2014 when Barack Obama was
president, the United States was having a different crisis of children entering the country Illegally, and Nancy Pelosi
visited a different detention center for kids and reminded America not to politicise the issue. "Well, I hope that
while some may have tried to politicize it, I hope that was not the case.
Pelosi
Slams 'The Hypocrisy Of All People Of Faith' Over Immigration Policies. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi does
not know when to shut it. Not only does she seem addled and not all there, she has the nerve to lecture people of faith
on the topic of illegal immigration. This is a Marxist who happily supports the genocide of the unborn, but quotes the
Bible when it suits her needs. You want the definition of hypocrite? Look under 'Nancy Pelosi'. Then she
called for an uprising across America. Pelosi attacked "all people of faith in our country" on Friday [6/15/2018] over
the prosecution of illegal immigrants on the southern border. She was shameless.
Nancy
Pelosi wonders why there 'aren't uprisings' across nation: 'Maybe there will be'. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi told reporters on Thursday that she is confused why Americans aren't "uprising" against the Trump administration over
conditions on the border with Mexico. The California Democrat's weekly press briefing veered into explosive territory
when the subject of illegal immigration came up. Mrs. Pelosi said there may be "uprisings" over children who are
separated at the U.S. southern border when asylum seekers decide not to arrive at a proper checkpoint.
Negative
Nancy Pelosi bummed out by booming Trump economy. Is Nancy Pelosi a secret agent for the Republican
Party? Sometimes you have to wonder. Her latest outburst, in which she derides the accelerating economy and
declining unemployment, is so nonsensical that it demeans Democrats' credibility, shows them to be remarkably out of touch
with average Americans and underscores the poverty of their competing platform.
America
First Ohio Poll: Nancy Pelosi Drags Down Democratic Party, Donald Trump Boosts GOP. A new poll conducted
by America First Action Super PAC, President Donald Trump's official Super PAC, shows that Democrats in Ohio are in serious
trouble of losing their re-election bids while House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi proves to be an anchor on her party's
November chances.
Pelosi's
Remarks On The Economy Aren't Grounded In Reality. [Democrats are] now fighting the same losing battles with Trump,
like defending trashing the American flag and the national anthem, with the most recent giving cover to MS-13 gang members as folks...
who aren't so bad. Sorry, no — they're garbage human beings who are thugs, rapists, and murderers, devoid of any
humanity. They deserve to be treated as such. Lock 'em up and throw away the key. Dehumanization of a
cancerous and dangerous criminal element in our society is not a bad thing; it's a necessity.
The
lawless, porn-respecting, MS-13-loving, humorless American left. [The Democrats] defend aliens' illegal entry into the United States
and give them sanctuary even after they have committed violent crimes that have taken the lives of innocent American citizens. [...] As for Nancy
Pelosi's defense of the "spark of divinity" within the members of MS-13, those drug-dealing, sex-trafficking, machete-wielding murderers, she was
not alone among her tribe of Democrats. There is no miscreant, no matter how vile and murderous, whom they will decline to vindicate, to
endorse. They encourage them to come here and welcome them when they get here. They are much more protective of them than they are
the native-born and legal immigrants on whom they prey. They plan to see to it that they all vote — for Democrats, of course. For
their votes, they will be provided health care, food stamps, welfare... full subsidization on the American taxpayer's dime in sanctuary cities,
where they are free to deal their drugs and terrorize their fellow immigrants who are scared to death of them. That pretty much sums up
the Democratic Party today.
Pelosi
flubs simple math problem: 63 minus 15 — '47, is it?'. Maybe now we know why politicians in
Washington, D.C. can't seem to get a handle on the national debt: They struggle with simple math. During her
weekly press conference today, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi froze as she attempted to do a simple math problem in her
head. [Video clip]
Pelosi
rips Trump-era economy's 'consumer confidence,' which is at 18-year high. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
told reporters Thursday that consumer confidence, which is at an 18-year high, is a sign that the economy under President
Trump is dragging. Mrs. Pelosi's remarks came during her weekly press conference after a reporter mentioned the
nation's 3.8 percent unemployment rate, prompting her to use skyrocketing consumer confidence as a kind of political litmus
test. "Well, as I said, unemployment rate is one indication," the California Democrat said. "The fact is, and
this has happened before, that people say, 'Oh my goodness, that people are saying the unemployment rate is down, why isn't
my purchasing power increasing? So, this isn't just about the unemployment rate, it's about wages rising in our country,
so that consumer confidence is restored."
Nancy
Pelosi on Supreme Court Ruling: Bake That Cake, Christians!. Would-be Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) slammed Monday's 7-2 Supreme Court ruling in the Masterpiece Bakeshop case, attacking "discriminatory practices behind
the guise of religious liberty." The Court found in favor of a Colorado baker who was sued when he declined to bake a
wedding cake for a same-sex marriage because of his Christian beliefs. The baker asserted his religious liberty under
the First Amendment. The decision avoided ruling on the broader question of whether religious liberty trumps
non-discrimination on the basis of sexuality, and held only that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had not given the
baker a fair hearing.
Nancy
Pelosi Releases Statement on SCOTUS Gay Cake Ruling: Christians Should Bake Gay Cakes. On Monday [6/4/2018] the
Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 vote in favor of Christian baker Jack Phillips. The Supremes ruled Phillips had the right to
refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. [...] Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi weighed in on the decision on Monday [6/4/2018].
Pelosi says Masterpiece Cakeshop needs to bake the [...] cake.
Pelosi:
'Strong employment numbers mean little'. The New York Times headline reporting on the May jobs numbers that
came out yesterday might go down in history: "We ran out of words to describe how good the jobs numbers are." [...] To
be sure, Pelosi is, at one level, playing the rabid partisan. It is, after all, an election year, and you don't expect
her to be overjoyed by the news of record unemployment and rising wages. But when the New York [...] Times gushes
about the jobs report like a 12-year-old schoolgirl over her latest heartthrob, you have to wonder what Pelosi is smoking
(and ask her to send some over right away).
Nancy
Pelosi [is] Trying to Convince America that Having More Jobs is a Bad Thing. True to form, House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is taking the absurd route, and attempting to convince the American people that the recently released
jobs report that shows a good uptick in job growth is somehow a negative thing for America. The May job report shows an
uptick in 223,000 new non-farm employment jobs in April, as well as a 3.8 drop in unemployment. This is apparently bad,
according to Pelosi, who is of the mind that because some families still aren't making enough money, the Republicans have
done America wrong with their tax cuts.
Sour
Pelosi poo-poos booming economy: 'Strong employment numbers mean little'. The Trump economy is booming, but
that's not good enough for Nancy Pelosi. The May unemployment rate was a stunningly low 3.8 percent, according to the
Wall Street Journal. Black unemployment is the lowest ever: 5.9 percent, the Washington Examiner reports.
But instead of celebrating the incredible economic activity, the House Speaker wannabe shrugged. "May's jobs report shows
that strong employment numbers mean little to the families hit with soaring new costs under the Republicans' watch," the House
Minority Leader said in a statement.
Here's a thought: Dump Nancy
Pelosi. Here's something to strike fear into the hearts of all Republicans: Have the Democrats oust Nancy
Pelosi as House minority leader. There is very good reason for her caucus to dump her: She is the tired face of a
stale party. She's 78 years old and hasn't had a fresh idea since ordering a salad back in the nineties.
Nancy
Pelosi hit with GOP ad: 'Democrats' Midterm Message? MS-13 killers aren't so bad'. The Republican Party
made clear on Tuesday that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's comments on the violent MS-13 gang will haunt Democrats until
the midterm elections. President Trump recently prompted an angry backlash by members of the media and his political
opponents by referring to MS-13 members as "animals," but the Republican Party is betting that American voters are on his
side. Its new campaign ad titled "Democrats' Midterm Message? MS-13 killers aren't so bad" tallied over 52,000
views in less than six hours.
RNC
Torches Democrats in New Midterm Ad: 'MS-13 Killers...They Aren't So Bad'. There are some of us who know how
far left the Democratic Party has become. Some are seeing it right now, while others still in the dark concerning how
radical this party has become. Two weeks ago, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the House Minority Leader, defended MS-13,
saying she was appalled over the president calling them "animals." Then again, the news media decided to peddle fake news,
claiming that President Trump was referring to immigrants as animals. That's not true. Folks, there's video and a
transcript. They were wrong, but decided to peddle this crap anyway because the elite media has Trump Derangement
Syndrome. In fact, it's so systemic that the president now has liberals defending Latino gang members. They're
not animals, they're still human beings is the hill the Left wants to die on — and people wonder why Democrats
can't get into an effective messaging war with this White House.
Why the
'Racist America' Meme is Collapsing. The controversy over Trump's "animal" remark was, as we now know, fake
news. The [New York] Times didn't mention until later that his comments were directed at criminal aliens, like
those in MS-13. But because we live in an era in which Trump can never, ever be right, the Left is now defending MS-13
and other criminals without comment from our media watchdogs. Incredibly, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
has defended MS-13 as "God's children" with whom we all share an inviolable "spark of divinity." What would the family of
an unnamed man who was stabbed 100 times, dismembered, beheaded, and had his heart cut out say to that? The killer
was 19-year-old Miguel Angel Lopez-Abrego, a citizen of El Salvador, illegally residing in the United States.
Nancy
Pelosi 'punted' on NFL anthem question, critics say. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi faced questions last
week about where she stands, or kneels, regarding the NFL's recently announced policy on national anthem protests.
Though she claimed to side with the players, her answers didn't sit well with many political observers. "She punted,"
writes Becket Adams in the Washington Examiner, describing Pelosi's response to CNN's Chris Cuomo as a "professional-strength
nonanswer."
Pelosi
gibberish, bizarre laughing; stares off during brain freeze. During her weekly press conference, the House
Minority Leader — whom some speculate will be the next Speaker of the House if Democrats recapture the majority
this November — was seen uttering gibberish, bizarrely laughing and staring off mid-sentence before re-engaging
the press during the appearance.
Sanctimony
Alert: Pelosi Touts 'Spark of Divinity' in MS-13. Nice of Nancy Pelosi to recognize the "spark of divinity' in people
who commit such horrible atrocities that they make the Nazi SS look like boy scouts. Nancy should definitely house these "sparks of
divinity" on her multi-million dollar California estate.
Pelosi
on Trump: 'Does He Not Believe in the Spark of Divinity, the Dignity and Worth of Every Person?'. President
Donald Trump, at a White House discussion on immigration Wednesday, referred to MS-13 gang members as "animals," although
some media outlets took the remark out of context, suggesting that he was referring to all illegal immigrants. Continuing
with that misrepresentation at her Thursday news conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said we "believe that...
there's a spark of divinity in every person".

Animalistic Crimes Committed Against Americans by MS-13 Gang. When President Trump recently referred to MS-13
gang members as "animals," the mainstream media, left-wing pundits, and Democrats were outraged by the statement. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed Trump's attack on MS-13 gang members, saying, "Does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the
dignity and worth of every person?"
The Editor says...
It's always amusing to hear the country's leading abortion advocate preach about divinity and so on. Does she not
believe in the dignity and worth of every person prior to his or her birth?
Nancy
Pelosi raises eyebrows and a whole lot of questions with incoherent rant on Iran. Democrats' swift condemnation
of President Trump's decision to pull the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal may have been too quick for Nancy Pelosi to
coherently gather her thoughts. The House Minority Leader slammed the president for his decision, which she claimed
threatens global security, but was soon rambling in her weekly briefing with reporters. [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi: 'Democrats believe you must pay as you go'. Democrats will lower the federal debt if they retake control of the
government, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday [5/10/2018], even as they seek to enact major infrastructure spending and
other new programs while undoing the GOP tax law. "Democrats believe you must pay as you go," the California Democrat said at an
event hosted by the fiscally conservative Peter G. Peterson Foundation. New government investments must be offset in the
budget, she said. Pelosi steered clear of saying how Democratic initiatives, such as a new federal education and housing funding,
would be paid for.
The Editor says...
If the "Democrats believe you must pay as you go," why is
the national debt over $21 trillion?
Pelosi:
'Trump Administration's Spiteful and Subjective Immigration Policies Casting a Cloud of Fear'. House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) accused the Trump Administration on Friday of launching a "cowardly assault on 57,000
Hondurans" by cancelling their Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which was based on the damage done to their country by a
hurricane that struck 19 years ago and allowed them to stay in the United States while their country was overcoming that
damage. "The Trump Administration's spiteful and subjective immigration policies are casting a cloud of fear and
uncertainty over American communities," Pelosi said. "If the Administration refuses to rescind this decision,
Republicans in Congress have a moral responsibility to step in and ensure permanent protection for these hard-working,
patriotic Hondurans."
The Editor says...
Yeah, that's the problem, Nancy. If they are "patriotic Hondurans," they are loyal to Honduras.
They're only coming here to siphon money out of this country and send it back to Honduras.
Nancy Pelosi's Last Stand.
Nancy Pelosi has never lost the vote in a leadership fight, or on the floor of the House, and she intends to reclaim the
speaker's gavel should the Democrats win back the House. Had Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election, Pelosi planned to
give up her San Francisco seat and move on, confident the Republic was in safe hands. Instead, she stayed to fight the
good fight, and her future will be determined by what happens in November. If the Democrats fail to regain the House
majority after a year of anticipation, those dashed hopes would surely end Pelosi's storied career. But with most
forecasters predicting a Democratic win in the House, the leadership picture gets complicated. Will Pelosi dig in her
high heels for another tour of duty as speaker, and will newly empowered Democrats drawn from the Resistance remain loyal to
a leader that some of them ran on opposing?
Pelosi:
'I Discourage Any Discussion of Impeachment' — 'It's a Gift to the Republicans. During a news
conference on Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) discouraged Democrats from talking about impeachment and
said, "it's a gift to the Republicans to talk about impeachment." Pelosi said, "I don't think that we should be talking
about impeachment. I've been very clear, right from the start. There is a process at work that will either yield
or not information that will be dispositive of that issue."
Nancy
Pelosi promises 'pro-choice gavel when we win the Congress'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday [4/24/2018]
the Democratic Party doesn't have litmus tests for its congressional candidates — though she made it clear that if Democrats
flip control of the House, they will fight for abortion rights. Mrs. Pelosi told the student at the Georgetown Institute of
Politics that Democrats will support pro-life Democrats over a pro-life Republicans in order to increase their chances of taking over
the lower chamber and that she takes "heat" for that.
Pelosi
and Democrats trying to scare women into voting for them. For a long time, the Democrats have been successful
by scaring people into voting for them. It's a tactic used when you can't persuade people on policy. Americans
were recently reminded of the Democrats' usual refrain when House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared President Trump's tax
cuts as "Armageddon."
Nancy Pelosi
Suffers Serious Face Spasms, Confuses Words. After Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) announced his retirement from
politics, all eyes are on Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and what she will do next. Could she be the next
Speaker? But shortly after Ryan's announcement Wednesday, while addressing reporters, Pelosi suffered visible face
spasms, frequently confused words, and had serious "brain freezes."
Nancy Pelosi Vows Democrats Will
Raise Taxes If They Take Back The House. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi vowed Wednesday [4/4/2018] that Democrats
will rework the GOP tax bill if they successfully retake the House in the 2018 midterm elections. Speaking at a Culver City
town hall event as part of the "Repeal the Trump Tax" tour, Pelosi pledged that Democrats would overhaul the tax bill into one that
"creates growth, creates good-paying jobs, as it reduces the deficit." "Over 80 percent of the benefits go to the top
1 percent," Pelosi said of the GOP tax cuts. [...] According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, the average household will
receive a tax cut of $1,610 in 2018. Only 5 percent of taxpayers will see increased taxes in 2018.
Nancy
Pelosi: When We Take Back The House, I PROMISE We'll Repeal Those Republican Tax Cuts. As soon as
Democrats retake the House in November, Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told a town hall meeting Wednesday that the
first priority is repealing and "replacing" the GOP tax cut package that passed last December. Speaking to her
constituents in Culver City, California, alongside Hollywood Congressman Ted Lieu, Pelosi pledged to discard the popular
bill, which has prompted several major American companies to boost wages, share profits, and in some cases move their
production operations back from overseas, because Republicans were so secretive in enacting the bill.
The Editor says...
Isn't this the same woman who said we had to pass Obamacare to find out what's in it?
Nancy
Pelosi targeted in more than a third of GOP House commercials. Nancy Pelosi has long been a favorite target of
GOP attack ads. But Republicans seem to be taking it to another level in this election cycle. The House
Democratic leader has been featured in roughly one-third (34%) of all GOP broadcast ads aired in House races this year,
according to data provided to the USA TODAY NETWORK by Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group (CMAG), which tracks
political advertising. That compares with 9% in all of 2016 and 13% in 2014.
Facing
GOP attacks, more Democratic candidates ditch Pelosi. A growing number of Democratic congressional candidates
are bailing out on Nancy Pelosi as they try to inoculate themselves against Republican attacks on the House Minority
Leader. "I'm not supporting Nancy Pelosi," Democrat Andrew Janz, who is running against Rep. Devin Nunes,
R-Calif., told NBC News in a recent interview. "I think she's done a lot of good for the party; I think she's done a
lot of good for the country," he added. "However, I think it's time for a new generation of leaders to go to
Washington, and this is with respect to both Democrats and Republicans. I think the country, and my district in
particular, is hungry for change."

Clinton Pollster Mark Penn: Conor Lamb Came Out Against Nancy Pelosi and Won. Former Clinton pollster
Mark Penn weighed in on Pennsylvania's 16th congressional district special election result, crediting Rep.-elect Conor Lamb's
(D-PA) victory to the candidate going against the far left like Nancy Pelosi. "[A]fter so much talk that the party was
moving to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders [the special Pennsylvania congressional election] really reaffirms the power of
a centrist Democrat," Penn told New York AM 970 radio's "The Cats Roundtable" host John Catsimatidis. "I mean, Conor
Lamb really took a lot of centrist positions. He backed a lot of what President Trump was saying. And he came out
explicitly against Nancy Pelosi."
Some
Democrats want Pelosi out now, win or lose House in midterms. Some House Democrats wanted Nancy Pelosi out as
their leader after they failed to win a string of 2017 special elections. And now some want the House minority leader
out because they appear to have won a special election. What gives with the paradox? It doesn't make sense, except
that some House Democrats are prepared to move on from Pelosi — and some aren't. "The watch" is on again on
Capitol Hill when it comes to Pelosi, how has been the House's top Democrat for more than a decade.
Why
it's time for Democrats to ditch Nancy Pelosi. When you are running as a Democrat in Donald Trump country, the
name Nancy Pelosi is even more toxic than the letters CNN. [...] As the House Democratic leader since 2005, Pelosi is
unpopular (her approval rating was 29% in a national Quinnipiac University poll in February) and extremely well known (83% of
voters in the Quinnipiac survey knew who she was). That twofer of familiarity and voter fatigue is why the demonization
of Pelosi remains a staple of Republican attack ads.
Nancy
Pelosi about to get the boot? Conor Lamb's congressional victory in Pennsylvania wasn't just bad news for his
Republican opponent, Rick Saccone. Guess who else lost big from this special election. Yep, House minority leader
Nancy Pelosi is finding herself a massive liability to her party, and now swamp-watcher Mike Allen of Axios is reporting that
she's actually tottering.
ICE
Director Fires Back at Nancy Pelosi. Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan had some strong words Tuesday for House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who accused the Trump administration and ICE agents of carrying out "cowardly attacks" on
illegal immigrants. Pelosi issued the statement after the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against California,
claiming three recently passed state laws are deliberately interfering with federal immigration enforcement. "The
people of California will not be bowed by the Trump administration's brazen aggression and intimidation tactics," the
California Democrat said. "Californians will continue to proudly keep our doors open to the immigrants who make America
more American. We will fight this sham lawsuit and will fight all cowardly attacks on our immigrant communities."

Nancy
Pelosi will pander to anyone. Is there anyone too crazy for Nancy Pelosi not to pander to? Apparently
not. Already we know she panders to people who utterly hate her, as her recent drama with the DREAMers
demonstrated. She's also tried to pander to Latinos specifically, based on race, by saying her grandson wished he had
their brown skin and brown eyes. Now she's pandering to people who are laughing at her. Appearing at an oh, so
ironic drag queen television derby, run by a professional drag queen whose stage name is RuPaul, the House minority leader
from San Francisco pandered away with fake, phony flattery — court eunuch stuff so cheesy that it wouldn't impress
even them.
Nancy
Pelosi Backtracks on 'Crumbs' Tax Reform Comment: 'We Are Thankful Whenever Workers Get Bonuses'. House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) backtracked on her "crumbs" comment about tax reform, admitting that "we are thankful
whenever workers get bonuses." Pelosi admitted in a tweet on Thursday [3/8/2018], "Certainly we are thankful whenever
workers get bonuses. But it is incredibly telling that companies by-and-large chose to give out one-time bonuses, and
not long-term raises."
Pelosi
Slams ICE for Arresting 'Hard-Working, Law-Abiding,' 'Patriotic' Illegal Aliens. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi today attacked the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for arresting more than 150 illegal aliens in Northern
California whom Pelosi described as "hard-working, law-abiding" and "patriotic." San Francisco, where Pelosi's
congressional district is located, is a "sanctuary city" that will not cooperate with the federal government in the
enforcement of U.S. immigration laws. "Since Sunday, ICE deportation officers have arrested more than 150 individuals
who are in violation of federal U.S. immigration laws, working on leads developed by the local field office in conjunction
with the National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center (NCATC)," ICE said in a statement released Tuesday [2/27/2018].
Pelosi
the 'most right-wing'? Only in San Francisco. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is regarded by most Republicans as a
far-left liberal. But a recent column identifies the San Francisco Democrat as the "most right-wing" candidate running in her
district this year. Emily Cadei, a correspondent for the Sacramento Bee, wrote Monday [2/26/2018] that Pelosi —
who'll turn 78 on March 26 — will be forced to fight off three opponents, all coming at her from the left,
when she seeks re-election later this year.
How Identity Politics
Is Made to Destroy Us. In January, when negotiations over the fate of 800,000 DACA recipients broke down, House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) blamed the impasse on the alleged racism of President Trump and his senior advisers.
"Last night the president put forth a plan," Pelosi told the U.S. Conference of Mayors. "Let me just say what I said last
night, that plan is a campaign to make America white again." This was not only an obvious lie, but a spectacularly brazen
one, since Trump's announced plan would provide a path to citizenship not only for the illegal aliens who had benefited from
President Obama's constitutionally suspect Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, all of whom are nonwhite, but for
a million additional illegals, mainly from Latin America, who are also mainly nonwhite.
The Labyrinth of Oppressions.
Nancy Pelosi is on a tour to blast the new tax reform and reduction law, whose savings often will result in $1,000 or more
per annum to families. The law already had encouraged private enterprise bonuses to employees due to employer
savings. Pelosi habitually scoffs that such savings are "crumbs." At a recent speech, after she intoned that income
inequality would be exacerbated, a woman in the audience shouted out, "How much are you worth, Nancy?" Fair question.
She and her husband, a developer and property investor (with apparently good connections within the bureaucracy of federal
construction, land sales, and property acquisitions) are worth over $100 million. They own more than one
multimillion-dollar home.
Nancy
Pelosi's net worth more than tripled during financial crisis 2008-2010. I am sure there is nothing at all
suspicious when the then-speaker of the House managed to triple her (and her husband Paul's) estimated net worth in the
period of a global financial crisis, when the federal government was deciding whom to bail out and whom to let go bankrupt,
and where to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on "stimulus." Doug Ross of Director Blue noticed the stunning
investment success of the San Francisco couple, drawing on information from Open Secrets, run by the Center for Responsive
Politics.
Democratic
Lunacy on Full Display in California. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has promised everything she can for
the young illegal aliens and her increasingly restive left-leaning caucus. The House members are grousing privately
about how their leader is ruining their brand across the country. As for the illegal aliens and their activist
enablers, they overwhelmed one of her press conferences in San Francisco. They badgered her US Senate colleagues,
including Chuck Schumer by protesting outside of his home in New York State. Two weeks ago, Pelosi stood for 8 hours to
demand that a clean DREAM Act be attached to the latest budget-spending bill. Nothing happened.
'How Much Are You Worth, Nancy?': Pelosi Heckled at
Town Hall While Slamming Trump Tax Law. Rep. Nancy Pelosi was heckled by a woman at a town hall event Tuesday
[2/20/2018] after she continued blasting President Trump and Republicans' tax cuts. "God never intended one group of people
to live in superfluous inordinate wealth while others live in abject deadening poverty," the House minority leader said, adding
that the quote was from Dr. Martin Luther King. As she finished her sentence, Pelosi was interrupted by a woman in the
Phoenix, Arizona, audience who asked "how much are you worth, Nancy?"
Pelosi
Tries to Extend $137,000 Tax Break for Two of Her Multi-Million-Dollar Homes. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.),
who often rails against income inequality and calls on the wealthy to pay its "fair share" in taxes, took pains in late December to try to
preserve tax breaks for two of her multi-million-dollar homes one last time before the new tax law kicked in. Largely thanks to her
husband Paul, a real-estate and venture-capital investor, Pelosi is the wealthiest woman in Congress with a net worth of more than
$100 million and the seventh wealthiest member overall, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. In fact, assets and
cash disclosed in her 2016 financial-disclosure statement places Pelosi in the top one-tenth of the 1 percent of Americans.
Pelosi's annual property tax bill alone on three luxury homes last year — $137,000 — is more than twice the 2016
U.S. median household income of $59,039, which the U.S. Census reported last fall.
Pelosi's Border Solution:
'Mowing The Grass'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said during a Tuesday [2/20/2018] interview that she thinks "mowing
the grass" along the border could be one solution to border security. Pelosi denounced the idea of a border wall during the
interview, which was broadcast on Facebook live, stating that such an idea is "never going to happen." "Well, I'm not the wall's
biggest advocate in Congress, but I do know that representatives in the House and Senators in that body from the border wall areas have
some serious objection to a wall," Pelosi explained. "Because they know how detrimental it can be to the community trade, to all
of the other aspects of a border." [Video clip]
Pelosi
Proposes 'Mowing the Grass,' Fences as Alternative to Border Wall. Tuesday [2/20/2018] during an interview with the Arizona
Republic, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said fences and "mowing the grass" along the U.S.-Mexico border would be a better alternative
instead of President Donald Trump's proposed wall.
Fact-checking
Nancy Pelosi's fundraising numbers. We can't really offer a Pinocchio rating here. But we can offer a
cautionary note about how these numbers are reported in the media. You cannot readily compare Pelosi and Ryan's
numbers, because they are counting different things. Pelosi includes email and direct mail, whereas Ryan does
not. Ryan's numbers are recorded at the FEC, while Pelosi's numbers simply are in a news release. You have to
take on faith that her numbers are correct, whereas Ryan's numbers are verified and can be checked. Reporters who
do not make that clear are doing a disservice to their readers.
House
Democrats Rip Pelosi, Call for Leadership Change. Several House Democrats recently berated House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi's (Calif.) leadership and called for change before the 2018 midterm elections. "For us to go into
this election with her as our leader is absolute insanity," one House Democrat, speaking anonymously, told the Atlantic.
The representative accused Pelosi of putting her own interests ahead of the caucus' and added, "if we don't win the House back,
it's going to be because of her." Pelosi has drawn criticism in recent months following controversial statements she made
surrounding immigration reform and Republican tax reform debates.
GOP
Rep to Introduce the 'Crumbs Act' in Jab at Pelosi. Congressman Todd Rokita, R-Ind., will introduce legislation
that helps Americans keep more of the bonuses they receive by making them tax-free. The legislation, "Creating Relief
and Useful Middle-Class Benefits and Savings" — known as the CRUMBS Act — also takes a swipe at House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who has repeatedly downplayed the significance of the bonuses some Americans are receiving
thanks to the GOP tax plan by referring to them as "crumbs." "In terms of the bonus that corporate America received
versus the crumbs that they are giving to workers to kind of put the schmooze on — it's so pathetic," she told
reporters last month. "I think it's insignificant."
Michael
Savage: Pelosi and Democrats Are Saying 'Whiteness Is a Crime'. Democrats and the broader left have
"targeted the white male ... for extinction," said Michael Savage on Thursday's edition of his eponymous radio show, pointing
to Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) recent use of an anecdote involving her grandson to push racial politics. On
Wednesday [2/7/2018], Pelosi described her six-year-old white grandson's birthday wish to have brown skin as "beautiful"
during a speech on the House floor: [...]
The
Democrats' biggest liability wears 4-inch heels. Pelosi's speech, mostly stories read from "Dreamers" — the
children of illegal immigrants brought here by their parents and caught in a political firestorm between both parties —
was red meat for the Democratic base. But perorations on behalf of illegal immigrants are unlikely to excite the independents,
swing Republicans, and centrist Democrats whose votes will determine control of Congress. Similarly tone-deaf were her warnings
last year that the Republican tax cut was the apocalypse. "It is the end of the world," Pelosi told reporters after the bill
passed, "This is Armageddon." And calling the $1,000 bonuses that more than 3 million American workers have received 'crumbs'
for the past few weeks was also not helpful. A $1,000 bonus is not crumbs, and neither is an extra $100 per paycheck.
Nancy
Pelosi Quotes "Welcome the Children" Bible Verse But Supports Killing Children in Abortions. House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi criticized politicians for not welcoming vulnerable immigrant children Wednesday [2/7/2018], though she
herself supports the destruction of millions of unborn babies' lives through abortion. PJ Media reports Pelosi's
hypocrisy came through loud and clear during her 8-hour speech on immigration and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
program. The California Democrat has come under fire many times for claiming to be Catholic and a supporter of children
while staunchly defending abortion on demand up until birth. In her speech Wednesday, Pelosi made references to the
Bible and Catholic church teachings about children to defend her position on immigration.
The
Legacy of Hypocrisy from Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi is one of the biggest names on the left. Every time
liberals try to stir controversy around Trump or a conservative policy change, she is at the center of those efforts.
There is no shortage of stupid quotes that can be attributed to her, but the most frustrating moments are when she blatantly
proves her own hypocrisy. Despite modern record keeping and the irrefutable proof, she seems oblivious to this
particular shortcoming. Let's review her greatest hits.
Democrat
Lawmakers Are "Furious" With Nancy Pelosi Over Her Useless Filibuster. Aside from accomplishing absolutely
nothing, Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her eight-hour filibuster also managed to anger her fellow Democrats who think the House
Minority Leader may have actually damaged their 2018 election chances with her dramatics. Pelosi thought she would be
able to filibuster the spending caps deal until Speaker Paul Ryan gave in to her demands for protections for Dreamers, but
abandoned her quest without so much as a smirk from Ryan.
Nancy
Pelosi Thanks Illegal Aliens for Breaking the Law to Bring 'Dreamers' to USA. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) spoke for more than eight hours on the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, using her
prerogative as a party leader to mount a filibuster to draw attention to the cause of illegal aliens. The House,
unlike the Senate, does not actually have a filibuster rule that allows members to speak as long as they want.
Only the Speaker of the House and the party leaders can hold the floor indefinitely.
Pelosi
celebrates her grandson's racial self-hatred in marathon House speech. It was inevitable that when speaking for
8 straight hours on the House floor, Nancy Pelosi would spout some crazy nonsense. But I was not prepared for what only
can be called a depraved celebration of racial self-hatred. The muddled state of her thinking was on display when she
spoke praise of her grandson wishing he were not white.
Public
Backs Trump, Not Democrats, On Immigration: IBD/TIPP Poll. In his State of the Union speech, President
Trump said he was willing to make a deal with Democrats. He'd create a path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegal
aliens who came to the country as children, in exchange for funding for a border wall and a shift toward a skills-based
immigration policy. Democrats flat-out rejected Trump's overture, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi calling it
"an act of staggering cowardice which attempts to hold the Dreamers hostage to a hateful anti-immigrant scheme."
VP
Pence on Pelosi Calling $1,000 Bonuses 'Crumbs': 'You Live in a Different World Than I Live in'. Vice President
Mike Pence on Wednesday [1/31/2018] derided House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for dismissing the $1000 bonuses
that various companies are giving to their employees as a result of the president's tax cut reform plan as "crumbs."
Speaking to lawmakers at the GOP congressional retreat last night, Pence said, "I heard Nancy Pelosi — before the
tax cut was voted on, Nancy Pelosi predicted economic "Armageddon." Remember that one? Well, that wasn't the worst
of it.
Pelosi:
Trump is No Longer Commander-in-Chief After Release of FISA Memo. After a long wait, the FISA memo Americans wanted to see was
finally released. It contained a lot of damaging information about Democrats. According to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA),
"President Trump has surrendered his constitutional responsibility as Commander-in-Chief by releasing highly classified and distorted intelligence."
Pelosi
Calls For Nunes' Removal From House Intel Committee. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday [2/1/2018] called for
the removal of California Rep. Devin Nunes as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee over what she claims is his "dishonest"
handling of the secret GOP spy memo. "Congressman Nunes' deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and
he must be removed immediately from this position," Pelosi wrote in a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan. She cited an allegation that
California Rep. Adam Schiff made on Wednesday that Nunes made "material" changes to the four-page spy memo before it was handed
over to the White House earlier this week.
The Editor says...
Claims about those "material changes" turned out to be untrue, according to a Congressman who saw both versions.
Since the release of the memo, nobody has come forward to substantiate (or even dignify) such claims.
Confused
Nancy Pelosi Stutters, Forgets Who's President. Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi called President Trump "President
Bush" at least five times in 2017. She did it again today [2/2/2018]. Minority Leader Pelosi got confused and
mixed up on Thursday [2/1/2018] when speaking to reporters on the pending release of the House Intelligence FISA memo.
Nancy
Pelosi's SOTU Response: DACA Illegal Aliens 'Are Americans Too'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
responded to President Trump's "State of the Union" (SOTU) address by claiming that the roughly 3.5 million illegal aliens
who are enrolled and eligible for the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program "are
Americans too." During his SOTU address, Trump assailed open borders and the violent, El Salvadorian MS-13 gang, which
has ravaged American communities and prospered due to rapid illegal immigration, calling on the federal government to protect
the interests and safety of American citizens.
Nancy
Pelosi Comes Unglued After GOP Votes to Release FISA Memo. It was another rough day for Nancy Pelosi. The
House Intelligence Committee voted Monday afternoon [1/29/2018] to release of the secret FISA Memo. The vote was along
party lines. Not a single Democrat voted for transparency. The memo which was open to all House members to review
was read by 190 Republican lawmakers and only 10 Democrats in the last week.
The
unraveling of Pelosi is a sad sight. Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, is, in a
word, a mess. But let's pause for one moment to do something we almost never do: Offer a few words of praise for
Mrs. Pelosi, born Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro in 1940. The Italian-American has spent nearly her whole life in politics,
first as a 20-year member of the Democratic National Committee from California, then as the state party's chairman. She
first won election to the House in 1987 — when Ronald Reagan was president — and she's been there ever
since. In 2002, after working her way to the top, Mrs. Pelosi was elected speaker of the House, the first woman
ever to helm a national party in the august chamber.
If
Pelosi Brings Illegals to SOTU, Trump Should Bring ICE Agents. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and a number
of other Democrats plan to fill the House gallery with illegal aliens when President Trump delivers his first State of the
Union address. ABC News reports at least 24 House Democrats plan to bring illegals — the so-called
"Dreamers" — to watch the Tuesday night speech from the House gallery. The illegal aliens will be sitting in
seats that in previous years were meant for brave military heroes, law-abiding taxpayers and America's best and brightest.
The sad truth is that Democrats would rather align themselves with foreign invaders who violated our national sovereignty,
thumbed their nose at the rule of law, and pillaged and plundered taxpayer-funded resources.
Desperation
Time As Democrats Seek to Stop Trump From Succeeding. [Scroll down] But, holding key positions open is
not the only powerless move the Dems have been trying. Perhaps the funniest is their use of talking points to run down
the tax relief bill's manifest success. Pretty much every company everywhere seems to be delivering bonuses and raises
to their workers, and it's driving the Democrats insane. "Crumbs! Crumbs!" mutters Nancy Pelosi as she wanders
through the House looking for where she left her missing slipper. You know, a thousand bucks may not sound much to a
zillionaire like Nancy, but that's a lot of money for Normals. And Normals are noticing. The only thing the
Democrats hate worse than workers getting raises is how fast the stock market is going up.
Capital
Hill's Personal Pharmacist Admits Alzheimer Drugs Are Being Delivered To Members Of Congress. The idea that
some members of Congress are taking medication to treat a very serious illness such as Alzheimer's disease should ring alarm
bells across the country as the illness itself and the pharmaceuticals that treat it can have very damaging effects on a
person. On top of the cognitive degenerative symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, a suffer who is taking — for
example — the FDA approved Alzheimer treatment medication Aricept, side effects ranging from chronic trouble
sleeping to aggressive behavior may also occur. Other side effects of Aricept are altered mental status, brain disease or
injury causing inability to communicate, becoming easily angered or annoyed, and mood changes. Other Alzheimer medications
such as Razadyne and Exelon also cause concerning side effects such as depression, hallucination, and dyskinesia.
Capital
Hill's Personal Pharmacist Admits Alzheimer Drugs Are Being Delivered To Members Of Congress. Recently, the health of
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi came under the media's radar when she was filmed slurring her statements and uttering unintelligible
gibberish during a press conference. [Video clip] Considering the frequent mass delivery of big pharma drugs to
Congress, it isn't a farfetched idea to assume that this type of behavior may be the result of a drug's side effect.
Pelosi's 'White'
America. We make fun of Nancy Pelosi for good reason because of her nonsensical rants. [...] Nancy does not
like the ethnic makeup of the electorate that elected President Trump. Nancy is saying these are "white voters," not
necessarily white or Caucasian, but "white" in the sense that they reject the Democratic Party/Leftist agenda of open
borders, abortion on demand, sanctuary cities and states, crony capitalism, amnesty for all illegals, high tax rates,
increased regulations on business, and a cradle-to-grave nanny welfare state administered by the Annointed Ruling Class
of Leftist Democrats and RINO Republicans. To oppose this means acting "white" to Nancy.
"Bobblehead" Nancy Pelosi Speaks
At Mayor's Conference, Stupifies Crowd. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) recently hit the road for a
speaking engagement at the Conference of U.S. Mayors. Now, the video of "bobblehead" Pelosi has gone viral after she
stupified the crowd — and all it took was just three words. [...] This really takes stupid to a whole new level,
even for Nancy Pelosi. Eventually, people in her own party will realize she is out of touch with reality beyond what
most liberals would consider normal.
Levin
crushes Nancy Pelosi: 'She should be expelled from the House' for her race-baiting statement. Friday night
[1/26/2018] on his radio show, LevinTV host Mark Levin blasted House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for suggesting Trump's
immigration plans are to "make America white again." "This is such a hateful, unconscionable, demagogic statement
that she should be expelled from the House of Representatives," Levin suggested.
Pelosi
plays race card: Trump immigration plan to 'make America white again'. A Saltine-white woman from one of
the richest congressional districts in the country played the race card against President Trump during a speech to U.S.
mayors. Addressing the United States Conference of Mayors, Nancy Pelosi promoted illegal immigration, sanctuary cities
and so-called "Dreamers." [Video clip]
Pelosi
Gone Wild: Trump's Dreamer Deal A "Campaign To Make America White Again". I admit to being a bit puzzled
by the leftist outrage over President Trump's proposed DACA deal. I fail to see anything "racist" about providing a
pathway to citizenship for over a million illegal aliens (or in any of the other proposed provisions). House minority
leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), however, seems to imagine that it's some kind of white supremacist plot.
A thousand dollars is mere chicken feed to a limousine liberal. Wasserman
Schultz joins Pelosi in mocking size of $1K cash bonuses linked to tax cuts. Florida congresswoman and former
DNC chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz joined House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday to ridicule the economic
repercussions of recent tax reform legislation. An audience at Florida Atlantic University witnessed Ms. Pelosi
double down this morning on her recent "crumb" criticism of cash bonuses given out by companies like Apple, AT&T, Boeing,
Comcast, Disney, Home Depot, Fiat Chrysler, Southwest Airlines, Verizon, Wal-Mart and Well Fargo. The event, which was
sponsored by the group Not One Penny, included Ms. Wasserman Schultz's assertion that $1,000 doesn't go "very far for
almost anyone."
Nancy
Pelosi whoops it up with Democrats over government shutdown at a tony DC restaurant. Maybe they were whooping
it up. Or maybe they were crying in their beer. One thing that's certain is that Democrats, led by House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi, were doing it in luxury at one of Washington's toniest restaurants, as the measure to fund the
government failed. According to Scott Wong at The Hill, the wake of the late-night government shutdown sent
congressional members skittering all over town for their dinners: [...]
Nancy
Pelosi Trashes Pro-Life People: "They Pray on Sunday and Prey on People the Rest of the Week". The
Democratic Party has problems. Ever since Democrats suffered major, unexpected losses in the November election,
political commentators have been speculating about why. One of the biggest reasons pointed to is the party's disconnect
with rural, religious and pro-life voters. On Friday, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough broached the topic with House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Sarah
Sanders Pounds Pelosi Into the Dirt Over Her "Crumbs" Comment. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
arrogantly dismissed the Trump tax cut bonuses as "crumbs" and "pathetic" in a press conference last Thursday [1/11/2018].
Botox Pelosi is one of the wealthiest members of Congress; she is completely removed from the everyday working American.
What a despicable woman. On Wednesday [1/17/2018] it was announced that Apple will pay $38 billion in taxes to the
U.S. government to return money it had stashed overseas. Apple has $252.3 billion in cash abroad.
Nancy
Pelosi will be guest judge on 'RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will
appear as a guest judge on "RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars." Her appearance on the drag-queen competition show has
already been filmed, her office told the Washington Post. "She had a 'fabulous' time," Pelosi's spokesman told the
paper. Pelosi's longtime support of the LGBT community and what she sees as attacks from the Trump administration on
the gay and transgender community underscored why she wanted to appear on the show.
Report:
Nancy Pelosi Now a Lock for Speaker of the House in 2019. Axios.com's Mike Allen reports that House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is now considered a lock for Speaker of the House in 2019, as her party is expected to sweep the
2018 midterm elections. If so, it would be one of the most remarkable comebacks in political history, after Pelosi led
her party to an historic defeat in 2010 after serving as the first female Speaker for four years, then clung to power over a
shrinking minority party for eight.
Ingraham
Takes on Pelosi for Saying Companies Just Giving Out 'Crumbs' After Tax Cuts. Laura Ingraham took on House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for saying companies' bonuses to workers following the passage of the Republican tax cuts are
mere "crumbs." "Maybe it's a crumb if you live in Pacific Heights or the Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco and
you're married to Paul Pelosi, maybe then it's a crumb. But for most people it's real money," she said.
Waste
Management CEO reacts to Nancy Pelosi 'crumbs' comments on bonuses. Waste Management CEO James Fish responded
to Rep. Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) criticism of bonuses given to employees following the passing of the Republican-backed
tax reform bill. In an exclusive interview with FOX Business' Liz Claman, Fish said the bonuses will be go to drivers,
landfill workers and customer service agents. "We are giving it to those folks not just because not only are they hard
working, but they don't participate in our annual bonus which typically are for salary employees," Fish said during an
interview on "Countdown to the Closing Bell" Friday [1/12/2018]. The House Minority Leader on Thursday called the
recent wave of corporate bonus given to workers as a result of the Republican tax bill as "crumbs."
Nancy
Pelosi's elitist Democrats — America, this is the party of the rich, sneering at the poor. Here in
my home state of California, in response to President Trump signing the GOP tax reform bill into law, state Senate Democratic
leader Kevin de Leon has taken up a new cause: fighting for the right of the richest Californians to evade their taxes.
It's almost unbelievable — but true. De Leon (who is also the leading challenger to Sen. Dianne
Feinstein in her primary battle as she seeks re-election this year) has proposed setting up a new so-called charity that
would enable the Silicon Valley and Hollywood elite to claw back their losses from the Trump administration's new tax reform
law. [...] Another prominent California Democrat also revealed her true colors this past week over taxes: our old friend,
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. She dismissed $1,000 worker bonuses given in response to the GOP tax cuts as "crumbs."
San
Francisco plutocrat Nancy Pelosi sniffs disdain at Americans' tax bonuses, calling them 'crumbs'. The only
thing worse than Senator Elizabeth Warren having to pretend she likes the tax cuts she vehemently opposed in Congress is
wealthy House minority leader Nancy Pelosi looking down her nose in disdain at the millions of Americans celebrating their
tax bonuses. She actually called the spectacle "pathetic" and the bonuses "crumbs."
Pelosi
repeats words, overrules own statement, slurs 'prescription drugs'. Nancy Pelosi has just returned to
Washington, and she brought her bizarre behavior back with her. As the House Minority Leader returned to her weekly
press conference, she was seen repeating words, having trouble saying "Martin Luther King" and slurring "prescription drugs."
'Crumbs' —
Pelosi Dismisses Workers' 'Pathetic' Tax Reform Bonuses. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, one of the richest
members of Congress, dismissed the bonuses that many companies are giving to their workers due to lower tax rates as "crumbs"
and "pathetic." "A number of bonuses — one of the bonuses was in a union contract and then they added a
little more money to that. That same firm just told the employees they were going to be laying off 1,500 people and if
they wanted to save their jobs, they could work 32 hours. In terms of the bonus that corporate America receives versus
the crumbs they are giving to workers to put the schmooze on is so pathetic," Pelosi said on Thursday in response to a question
from The Daily Caller's Kerry Picket.
So
why hasn't anyone ever seen Trump's supposed dementia? Like anyone else, politicians do get old, and when they do, their age
frequently becomes obvious in public. One example is House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, who has repeatedly slurred her speech and
spoken gibberish, both of which point to declining mental capabilities.
Pelosi
Lists 8 Things She'd Rather Spend Trump's 'Immoral' Border Wall Funding On. On Friday, House Minority Leader
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) listed some of the things she'd do with the money President Donald Trump wants to protect
America from the threats posed by illegal immigration. On her Twitter page, Pelosi introduced her series of posts by
claiming the border wall funding "could do so much more" — if it wasn't used to secure the border:
"President Donald Trump @realDonaldTrump, that border wall funding you are asking for (again) could do so much more good in
other places...." Pelosi followed with eight separate Tweets, each touting something she'd spend the border wall funds
on — ranging [from rebuilding] Puerto Rico and subsidizing high-speed internet to expanding the State Department.
Danger in 2018 for
the Party of the Rich (Democrats). [Scroll down] According to the the Center for Responsive Politics, she
[Nancy Pelosi] has a net worth of $196 million. And that was in May 2017. Since then there's been another 10+%
run-up in the stock market, so that would conservatively push her well over the $200 million mark thanks, ironically, to the
policies of Donald Trump. (Okay, not entirely, but unquestionably to some extent.) Over the last decade or so, American
politics has had something of a role reversal. The Democrats have increasingly become the Party of the Rich —
Silicon Valley, Hollywood, media, a good swath of Wall Street — making Pelosi's statement and similar remarks made
by Schumer particularly absurd. Moreover, it is well known — but not well known enough yet — that
what Pelosi said was a straight-out lie.
The
Democrats Stink of Weakness and Defeat. Armageddon, she called it. That was Nancy Pelosi, the insane woman who
is somehow in charge of the Democrats' House caucus, speaking about the just-passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The bill would later
pass in the House, largely on the same party lines it's passed throughout the legislative process, due to procedural necessities,
Wednesday [12/20/2017]. [...] We wouldn't take Pelosi seriously, because it's impossible to truly do so. After all,
she's completely crazy and it's obvious to anyone who bothers to observe both the gibberish emanating from her lips and the
unstable body language surrounding it. Except that the unhinged sentiments she offered as a reaction to the passage of
a bill which will provide a tax cut to 80 percent of the American public aren't just hers. They belong to the entire
Democratic Party.
GOP
tax bill causes Nancy Pelosi to lose remaining fragment of her mind. The GOP tax bill is now very close to
passage, and as that became clear last night, Nancy Pelosi put on her spelunking gear for another deep descent into insanity
and self-unawareness: [...] A warning about plutocracy from a super-wealthy member of Congress who's been in power for
decades? Pelosi might be trying to convince people the tax bill will cost them their lives, but it clearly has yet to
even take away her unintentional sense of humor.
Nancy
Ditches Tax Protest After No One Shows Up. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi bailed on a "highly-anticipated"
protest against the GOP tax cuts making their way through Congress on Monday, ditching the event at the last minute after only dozens
of liberal demonstrators turned up at the event inside the Capitol. A reporter for left-leaning MSNBC news was on the scene to
cover the event, but was forced to admit the blatant failure on-air, saying the protest was nothing like "what we saw with the
healthcare law."
Unhinged
Pelosi Claims Tax Bill 'Does Violence' To Vision Of Founding Fathers. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spewed
utter nonsense on the House floor on Tuesday, hysterically claiming that the Republican's tax plan "does violence to the
vision of our Founders." Pelosi railed against Republican lawmakers in her speech, decrying the bill as a morally obscene
"scam" designed to "install a permanent plutocracy." "This GOP tax scam is simply theft, monumental, brazen theft from
the American middle class and from every person who aspires to reach it," Pelosi said. "
Pelosi's
super PAC keeps donations from owners of prostitution website Backpage. The uproar over sexual harassment that
began with the Harvey Weinstein scandal has intensified the scrutiny of political contributions linked to Backpage, which law
enforcement officials say is the chief platform for activities far worse than harassment, including sexual slavery and child
prostitution. Mrs. Pelosi isn't the only Democrat struggling to deal with the piles of cash that Backpage's owners
spread around to candidates and state Democratic parties over the years. Even Ms. Harris, a California Democrat
who is now a U.S. senator, ducked the issue. Her office wouldn't respond to repeated emails about Backpage money going
to House Majority PAC and other Democratic organizations.
Three
Pinocchios For Pelosi On Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. As with most things these days, it started with a
tweet. After the House passed their version of the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, the former Speaker of the House (now
Minority Leader), Nancy Pelosi expressed her displeasure by going on social media and informing everyone that the Republicans
were once again trying to unleash drooling hordes of criminals and dungeon dwellers on the nation armed to the teeth.
Nancy
Pelosi, religious leaders reach deep into teachings to preach against GOP tax plans. From America's Catholic
bishops to prominent Christian pastor Jim Wallis, congressional Republicans' push for an overhaul of the tax code has been
called nothing less than ungodly. The debate about tax rates and income numbers has taken on pointedly religious
overtones, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, citing Pope Francis and St. Augustine in
attacking the bill and saying it would signify Armageddon. Mr. Wallis led a protest against the tax plan at the
Hart Senate Office Building, reading Bible verses before he was escorted away by Capitol Police. The U.S. Conference of
Catholic Bishops released a lengthy attack on the tax bill, adopting most of Democrats' predictions and criticisms of the
Republicans' plans to cut tax rates on most Americans.
More about Mr.
Wallis here. He was one of the people that
Barack H. Obama used to put a religious veneer on an otherwise obviously
Muslim life.
Nancy
Pelosi Struggling To Keep House Democrats In Line. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is increasingly
struggling to keep Democrats in line and appears to be following her members on crucial issues rather than leading
them. On Wednesday [12/6/2017], House Democrats introduced a motion to impeach President Trump, despite Pelosi's
insistence for months that Democrats hold off on pushing impeachment. Fifty-eight Democrats voted in favor of
impeachment on Wednesday, despite Pelosi's objections.
Pelosi:
'God Is With Us' on Demanding DACA Fix in Budget Deal. Thursday [12/7/2017] at her weekly briefing on Capitol
Hill, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said God is with the Democrats on their fight to protect recipients of the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) as part of a deal to fund the government.
Democrat
Accused Of Sexual Harassment: Pelosi Knew And Did Nothing About It. A first-term Democratic congressman
accused of sexual harassment said that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi knew about the allegations while he was running for
office and supported him anyway, putting millions of dollars behind his 2016 congressional campaign. [...] Pelosi was quick
to demand [Nevada Rep. Ruben] Kihuen's resignation after the allegations became public, but she actually has known about
the harassment allegations for a while, Kihuen told ABC News.
Pelosi:
GOP tax proposal 'the worst bill in the history' of Congress. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
declared unequivocally on Monday that the GOP tax overhaul is the worst legislation ever considered by Congress. "I
have said that this was stiff competition by some of the other things they have put forth, is the worst bill in the history
of the United States Congress," Pelosi said during House floor debate on the tax proposal. Pelosi cited the rushed
process and impact on the deficit to justify her assertion. [Video clip]
Pelosi
slammed by GOP for calling tax bill 'Armageddon'. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., isn't holding
back when it comes to criticizing the tax overhaul that the Senate passed early Saturday morning [12/2/2017]. Approached
for comment on the sweeping legislation — worth roughly $1.4 trillion — Pelosi declared the legislation
"the end of the world." She added, "This is Armageddon." The comments mirrored similar ones she made on social media
earlier in the day. "The #GOPTaxScam is one of the worst bills to be brought to the floor in the history of the United
States," she tweeted. "We will fight with everything we have to stop this bill from becoming the law of the land."
Nancy
Pelosi suffers face spasms, brain freezes while denouncing Conyers. As the media focus has shifted to the
alleged sexual harassers in the Democratic ranks, questions are not going away about Nancy Pelosi's continued bizarre
behavior. The House Minority Leader held her weekly press conference, and while the media focused on her call for
accused serial harasser John Conyers, they overlooked her frequent flubbed words, brain freezes, and face spasm that occurred
seconds into the appearance.
Pelosi: Conyers
should resign. Facing criticism for going too soft on sexual harassment, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
on Thursday [11/30/2017] called for Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) to resign as the allegations of sexual misconduct have
mounted against him. "The allegations against Congressman Conyers, as we have learned more since Sunday, are serious,
disappointing and very credible," Pelosi said during a briefing in the Capitol, reading from a statement. "It's very
sad. The brave women who have come forward are owed justice. I pray for Congressman Conyers and his family and
wish them well. However, Congressman Conyers should resign," she said.
The Pelosi
Rule: Our Pigs Are Better Than Their Pigs. Struggling to summon a defense of John Conyers over the
weekend, Nancy Pelosi looked a bit like a malfunctioning robot with a depleted battery. But after warming up, she
finally hit on the button "icon." Pelosi uttered the word icon as a cue to end all discussion. She had spoken her
formula of absolution over Conyers and now it was time for NBC's Chuck Todd to let the penitent go in peace. Pelosi's
comment completes feminism's arc of hypocrisy: Clarence Thomas's tormentors have become John Conyers's defenders.
The same feminists who scoffed at Thomas's description of his hearing as a "high-tech lynching" now play the race card for
Conyers as a civil rights "icon." The long-awaited "reckoning" looks more like the tired rationalization, as feminists,
for all their advertised anguish in recent days, return to what can be called the Pelosi rule: our pigs are better
than their pigs.
Watch
Nancy Pelosi Prove In Minutes Why Democrats Are Perennial Losers. Republicans, including GOP leaders Paul Ryan
and Mitch McConnell, have said Roy Moore should step aside and let somebody else take his place against Democrat Doug Jones
in the Alabama race for the U.S. Senate. On the Democratic side, four women (two on the record) have accused Al Franken
of groping them and Democrats have quietly rallied around him. But then came the accusations about Democratic
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich). Not only was Conyers accused, but he paid out settlements that were not public
and paid for by John Q. Taxpayer.
Nancy
Pelosi Has Been Enabling Sexual Predators For Decades. [Scroll down] But that's exactly what Pelosi
is: That woman, a faux feminist who has been enabling sexual predators for decades. We can start with her full
throated defense of former President Bill Clinton. She's been defending his documented and repetitive bad behavior
since the 1990s and did so again on Meet The Press Sunday [11/26/2017]. During her time as Speaker of the House,
Pelosi ignored disgraceful sexual harassment by former Congressman and San Diego Mayor Bob Filner.
Nancy Pelosi Botches
the #MeToo Moment. On Meet the Press [11/26/2017], House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi laid an absolute
stink bomb in an interview with host Chuck Todd. [...] Todd pressed Pelosi on whether Michigan Democrat John Conyers, who,
after a secretive process, settled sexual harassment complaints from a former female employee who says she was fired for
resisting the congressman's sexual advances. Others have come forward alleging misconduct as well, but Democrats —
led by Pelosi — took no action against Conyers. Pelosi expressed unfamiliarity with the allegations, asking
Todd if it was one or two. She called Conyers an "icon." Todd asked Pelosi if she believed the accusers, and she
said she didn't know who they were because they were anonymous. She called for due process, even though Conyers, as
Todd pointed out, had already gone through a process that resulted in him settling with his former employee. It's not
clear what other process Conyers is due.
Roy Moore is presumed to be guilty, but... Nancy
Pelosi: John Conyers deserves 'due process'. [Scroll down] Appearing on "Meet The Press" earlier
in the day [11/26/2017], House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi urged "due process" before making conclusions about Rep. Conyers,
saying the congressman is "an icon" who has worked to protect women. "We are strengthened by due process. Just because
someone is accused — and was it one accusation? Is it two?" Pelosi asked.

Pelosi brain freeze: Confused about time of day, botches name of own guest. Prior to the start of a
Friday [11/3/2017] press conference intended to attack President Trump's tax cut proposal, Nancy Pelosi was handed a folder
of what she was supposed to tell reporters. It might have been good for her to actually browse it before stepping to
the microphone. As the House Minority Leader was waiting for several invited guests to file in behind her, she could
hear muttering to herself, "Is it still morning?" [Video clip]
Pelosi
struggles to form sentences during TV interview, calls Robert Mueller 'mother'. Nancy Pelosi's trouble with the
English language seems to be growing by the day. During a Sunday morning [10/22/2017] appearance on MSNBC, the House
Minority Leader stumbled over words, struggled to form sentences, and called special counsel Robert Mueller "mother."

Pelosi: There's
No Culture War. Virtually every chance House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has had to dispel her reputation as a
delusional, establishment hack completely out-of-touch with reality, she always finds some way to reveal that she really is a
delusional, establishment hack completely out-of-touch with reality. Her latest guffaw occurred during her appearance
on Friday's [10/20/2017] The View where she denied America is in a culture war and that Democrats have division in
their ranks.
Leading
House Democrat Calls on Pelosi to Step Down. A high-ranking House Democrat on Thursday [10/5/2017] called on Rep. Nancy
Pelosi of California to step down as minority leader to make way for a new generation. "Our leadership does a tremendous job," said
Rep. Linda Sanchez of California, "but I do think we have this real breadth and depth of talent within our caucus, and I do think it's
time to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders, and I want to be a part of that transition. I want to see that happen."
Sanchez, the fifth-ranking Democrat in the House, was interviewed on C-SPAN by two reporters who asked her about the current makeup of
Democratic leadership.
Nancy
Pelosi Thanks Illegal Immigrants for Breaking the Law. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi thanked 'Dreamer' parents for
breaking US law and bringing their children into the nation illegally on Wednesday, saying the nation "owes a debt" to the undocumented
families. The California Congresswoman expressed her gratitude during a televised town hall event on CNN, where she was asked whether
President Trump or Congress was ready to move ahead on permanent DACA legislation. "Our Dreamers, they make America dream again.
They're so lovely. And frankly, we owe a debt to your parents for bringing you here," said Pelosi. "You're such a brilliant
part of our future, a constant reinvigoration of America, that's what newcomers are." [Video clip]
Pelosi
suffers brain freeze while defending NFL kneelers. Nancy Pelosi defended unemployed NFL quarterback Colin
Kaepernick's "First Amendment" right to disrespect the American flag during the national anthem, even if she struggled to say
his name. During an appearance on "Meet The Press," Pelosi sided with the former 49ers quarterback, and other players
refusing to stand for our country.
Pelosi:
Dreamers' parents 'did a great thing' in sneaking them into U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said
Wednesday that illegal immigrant parents who brought their children to the U.S. in defiance of the law "did a great thing,"
giving the country an infusion of successful young people. Mrs. Pelosi's comments strike a dissonant note from
many analysts, who while saying the Dreamers are sympathetic since they had no say in the decision, say the parents do
deserve blame for creating the problem.
Nancy
Pelosi gets mau-maued by the DACA DREAMers. Nancy Pelosi got more than she bargained for when she came out to
champion DREAMers and congressional institutionalization of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals act in San Francisco
Monday [9/18/2017]. Instead of the adoring crowds she expected, she got a boiling-with-rage mob of actual illegal aliens
who mau-maued her as the bad guy, drowning her out with chanted shouts of "Liar! Liar!" and accusations of being a
deportation machine.
Discreet
charm of the Dreamers. You have probably heard that Nancy Pelosi was confronted yesterday [9/18/2017] by a
gaggle of honking DREAMers of the kind she had staged an event to support. [...] The DREAMers did not make the decision to
break into the United States. Here, however, they look like perpetrators. We are not to hold it against their
parents that they brought their ill-mannered progeny with them, or that they failed to teach them manners. Watching
this production, however, I find it unnatural not to resent it. Democrats want our huge population of illegal aliens to
come out of the shadows, where they supposedly reside when they are not drawing on social services. If only.
Bring back the shadows! Democrats treat our huge population of illegal aliens as a core constituency. One would
be a fool not to draw the logical inferences from that.
Dem
Senator Suggests Russia To Blame For DREAMers Protesting Pelosi. Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne
Shaheen suggested Tuesday morning that Russia is to blame for the illegal immigrant protesters who derailed House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi's community event on Monday [9/18/2017]. Video from the protest shows the crowd of pro-amnesty
activists surrounding Pelosi and shouting her down, while accusing her of being insufficiently pro-immigrant. When
asked why the activists were targeting Pelosi, who has been working with President Trump to try to strike a deal on DACA,
Shaheen struggled to give an answer.
Pro-DACA protesters
call Pelosi a 'liar'. Immigrant-rights protesters on Monday [9/18/2017] disrupted a San Francisco news
conference at which House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi had planned to promote the DREAM Act. Pelosi and fellow
Democratic California Reps. Barbara Lee and Jared Huffman were scheduled to speak about the legislation, which would
provide a path to legal status to people approved for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and other
undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. at a young age. Instead, dozens of young people took over the event and
called Pelosi "a liar" for saying she has fought against deportations.
Illegal
Aliens Crash Nancy Pelosi's DACA Press Conference. A group of illegal aliens calling themselves the
"Immigration Liberation Movement" crashed a press conference by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Monday
[9/18/2017], warning the Democratic Party not to "sell [us] out." The group shouted down Rep. Pelosi, who struggled
to maintain control of the meeting, and unfurled a large banner calling for all illegal aliens to be legalized.
California
Democrats [are] growing tired of Nancy Pelosi. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who won an eighth term
leading the Democratic caucus last fall, should be replaced regardless of whether her party regains control of Congress'
lower chamber in next year's elections, according to a new poll. The statewide survey of California Democrats by UC
Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies found only 30 percent believe House Democrats should choose Pelosi to stay on as
their leader should they win back the House of Representatives in 2018. Some 44 percent prefer somebody else taking over,
while the remainder have no opinion.
NYT
Reporter: Pelosi Will Impeach Trump If Democrats Take Back The House. NYT Reporter Jeremy Peters warned
President Trump on MSNBC Thursday [9/14/2017] that his "new best friend," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, will move to

Trump "agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law," and also follows POTUS making a deal with Democrats to raise the
debt ceiling.
Nancy
Pelosi Is Getting So Weird — Like, Creepy Weird. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been getting
weirder and weirder. She's praised illegal aliens on the Capitol's lawn, saying, "You make America more American" (Um,
they, by definition, don't). She's said the Constitution does not grant people the right to shout "wolf" in a theater (it
probably does, but you can't yell "fire"). And she's complained that President Trump visited Saudi Arabia first, saying "It
wasn't even alphabetical. I mean, Saudi Arabia!" (Nancy thinks he should have hit Afghanistan, then Albania, Algeria,
Andorra, Angola, etc.) The list goes on and on. At 77, Pelosi misspeaks all the time — and just generally
acts weird to boot.
Nancy
Pelosi Has a Jeb Please Clap Moment. Nancy Pelosi is losing it. It's painful to watch, yet somehow
gratifying if you hate her as much as I do. Seems Nancy Pelosi couldn't even pronounce simple words and even had a few
Jeb Bush "please clap" moments. Nancy Pelosi is getting almost Sergio Dipp pathetic these days.
Now that it is politically expedient to do so... Pelosi
Condemns Antifa: 'Our Democracy Has No Room for Inciting Violence'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.,
Calif.) denounced the radical leftist group "Antifa" and its violence in Berkeley, Calif. over the weekend. The
black-clad, masked, so-called "anti-fascists" attacked and assaulted members of a peaceful right-wing protest in
Berkeley. The famed college town has seen other far-left violence this year in response to conservative speakers
appearing on campus. In a statement published to her official website, Pelosi said the "perpetrators should be
arrested and prosecuted."
Crying
Wolf in a Crowded Theater. This week former Speaker of the House California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said,
"The Constitution does not say that a person can yell wolf in a crowded theater." For the first time, she said something
with which I find no fault. I scoured the Constitution and there's not a word about crying wolf in it. On the other
hand, it does give primacy to the right of free speech.
Pelosi
Very Confused: You 'Can't Shout Wolf in a Crowded Theater'. Nancy Pelosi has been very confused this
year. She keeps calling President Trump "President Bush" and continues to struggle with her vocabulary. The
latest example happened in an interview with KRON when she "mixed her metaphors," as The Washington Free Beacon reported,
when talking about what the First Amendment does and doesn't cover when it comes to free speech. "The Constitution does
not say that a person can shout — yell wolf in a crowded theater," Pelosi said, stumbling. "If you are
endangering people, then you don't have a constitutional right to do that."
What
clueless Nancy Pelosi doesn't seem to understand about free speech. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.), is perhaps the most powerful representative the Democrats have. When she speaks, it means something.
And what she's been speaking about lately is that others shouldn't be speaking at all. That's frightening. One
might expect extremists in her party to have trouble with the First Amendment, but it's alarming that the top Democrat in the
House jumps on the bandwagon. Is this how most Democrats feel? The National Park Service recently announced that
a right-wing rally by the group Patriot Prayer can go forward Saturday at federally owned Crissy Field in San Francisco, near
the Golden Gate Bridge. Pelosi calls members of the group white supremacists (though they say they support peace, love
and unity). While the group is controversial, the right of its members to speak shouldn't be.
Nancy
Pelosi's father helped dedicate Confederate monument. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has ramped up calls to
remove "reprehensible" Confederate statues from the halls of Congress — but left unsaid in her public
denunciations is that her father helped dedicate such a statue decades ago while mayor of Baltimore. It was May 2,
1948, when, according to a Baltimore Sun article from that day, "3,000" looked on as then-Governor William Preston Lane Jr.
and Pelosi's father, the late Thomas D'Alesandro Jr., spoke at the dedication of a monument to honor Confederate generals
Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.
Nancy
Pelosi's Father Dedicated Confederate Statues to Robert E. Lee & 'Stonewall' Jackson. In recent days, House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi has publicly supported the removal of Confederate statues around the U.S. As it turns out, the Pelosi family
wasn't always against the statues. On Monday, Ron Meyer of Red Alert Politics dropped a little truth bomb on Fox News
viewers, revealing Nancy Pelosi's father helped dedicate Confederate statues to Robert E. Lee and 'Stonewall' Jackson.
Dozens
of Democrats Said to Refuse Support of Pelosi as Leader in 2018. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA)
leadership could be in real trouble with nearly 30 Democratic members and 2018 candidates now saying they will either not
support Pelosi as leader of Democratic caucus if elected or declining to comment on the matter. Incumbent Reps.
Tim Ryan (D-OH), Seth Moulton (D-MA), Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Kathleen Rice (D-NY), and Filemon Vega (D-TX) have all come out
saying that Pelosi needs to go.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Pelosi
Calls for Resolution to Censure Trump for His 'Repulsiveness'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issued a statement today [8/18/2017]
declaring her support for the Congress to pass a resolution censuring President Donald Trump for "the repulsiveness" of his "words and
actions." "Every day, the president gives us further evidence of why such a censure is necessary," said Pelosi. The censure
resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives today by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D.-N.Y.), Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman
(D.-N.J.) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D.-Wash.). The resolution immediately gathered 77 co-sponsors, all of whom are Democrats.
If
Confederate Statues Are 'Reprehensible' Why Didn't Nancy Pelosi Remove Them When She Had the Power as Speaker?
Last week House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi demanded Speaker Paul Ryan remove all confederate statues from the U.S.
Capitol. In a statement, Pelosi said the statues have "always been reprehensible" and insisted they be taken down,
despite the Capitol acting as a museum for all kinds of American history. [...] "There is no room for celebrating the violent
bigotry of the men of the Confederacy in the hallowed halls of the United States Capitol or in places of honor across the
country." But if these statues truly are "reprehensible," why didn't Pelosi have them completely removed when she had
the power to do so as Speaker of the House?
Pelosi
Calls on Paul Ryan to Immediately Remove 'Confederate Statues' from Capitol. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D.-Calif.) today [8/17/2017] called on House Speaker Paul Ryan (R.-Wisc.) to immediately remove "Confederate statues" from the U.S.
Capitol. "If Republicans are serious about rejecting white supremacy, I call upon Speaker Ryan to join Democrats to
remove the Confederate statues from the Capitol immediately," Pelosi said in a statement. "There is no room for
celebrating the violent bigotry of the men of the Confederacy in the hallowed halls of the United States Capitol or in
places of honor across the country," Pelosi said.
Monuments,
media and madness. [Scroll down] This is part of a new obsession by the Democratic Party with removing
Confederate statues and monuments that have been around for close to a century or more. [...] House Democratic Leader Nancy
Pelosi, who talks as though she is a first-term representative from California, recently said: "The Confederate statues
in the halls of Congress have always been reprehensible." Yet they were somehow tolerable from the years 2007 to 2011
when she was speaker of the House and Dems had a supermajority in Congress.
Democrats
Are Starting To See Nancy Pelosi as A Cancer. Are the sharks circling House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
again? No, she's fine. She'll win re-election. She'll remain leader of the House Democrats, but that
doesn't mean that those party members trying to flip seats to retake the House are starting to view her as a problem.
Democrats
begin to see Pelosi as a 2018 problem. In a survey of 20 Democratic House candidates, only one — a
former Senate staffer from Orange County, California — would state support for the congresswoman staying on as
leader of the House Democratic Caucus. Of the rest, 18 declined to say if Pelosi should keep her job, while one, a
political newcomer from a culturally conservative Ohio district, said he would vote for someone other than Pelosi.
Pelosi
Gets Declaration Of Independence History Wrong. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tried to be patriotic but
read a false account of the 56 Declaration of Independence signers during her Tuesday [7/18/2017] press conference.
Pelosi read "The Price They Paid," an article about the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, at a Democrat event
to promote a legislative package aimed at reforming government. [...] However, as pointed out by Snopes, "The Price They Paid"
is riddled with inaccuracies and embellishments about what actually happened to the signers.
Nancy
Pelosi Can't Stop Giggling About Aggression from North Korea. Pelosi was fielding questions from reporters during her
weekly press conference, and as she finished an answer about arts funding... she giggled. A reporter then said, "Kim Jung In
has been celebrating their ICBM launch with some cultural" events... Pelosi laughed strangely. Pelosi stopped giggling and
gathered her composure as the reporter continued[,] she then sighed loudly into the microphone. As the reporter finished asking
his question about whether Pelosi thinks the administration will be able to protect the West Coast from an attack, she bizarrely said
she's "one of the few members of Congress to have visited Pyongyang." What is wrong with this woman?
Pathetic: Nancy
Pelosi calls Trump 'President Bush' for fifth time. Never mind President Trump has been in office for six
months — Nancy Pelosi still thinks George W. Bush is president. During an interview with KTVU, Pelosi
once again referred to Trump as "President Bush."
An inadvertent comedy act: Pelosi
Says: Schumer and I Are 'The Voices for Winning' Back Congress in 2018. In an interview with KTVU, Nancy Pelosi is either
having one of her senior moments in which she refers to voices without providing much clarity on whether these are voices of real people or
if they're the kind that should be medicated away, or she's looking for an odd excuse to ignore her unpopularity, even with her own party.
As we reported just a few weeks ago, 41% of Democrats want Pelosi to stay, while a full 27% of them want her to retire, with only 16% of
Democrats holding a "very favorable" view of Pelosi with 12% holding a "very unfavorable" view of her.
Pelosi appears dazed —
stops speaking, stares at audience. As Nancy Pelosi struggles to beat back an insurgency by her House Democratic colleagues over a string of election
losses, there are new questions over her health after she suffered multiple brain freezes during a recent appearance in New York City. During a Sunday event
at the 92nd Street Y, Pelosi would awkwardly stop mid-sentence repeatedly, stare at the audience, and then continue speaking. [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi Makes Russia Accusation, Struggles to Put Together Coherent Sentences. Nancy Pelosi appears to be losing
it. Thursday, in a press conference, she did not seem to be able to string together a coherent thought, let alone a
logical presentation. She rambled all over the place with what sounded like random unconnected ideas, accusations and
theories. She was purportedly there to level some of the usual accusations at Trump, regarding his nonexistent collusion
with Russia. What came out instead was a strange mix of confusion, forgetfulness and plain old vindictiveness.
The
Plot Against Pelosi. Democratic Representative Kathleen Rice is tired of her party [losing]. "Since 2010,
we've been losing, losing, losing, losing. There are big issues that we need to address for the country, and we're not
even at the table — which is a problem!" As Rice sees it, Democrats need to come up with a new message, a
fresh brand, an easy-to-explain economic plan that resonates with the masses. But for that to happen, she says, the
caucus first must do some housecleaning. Specifically, Nancy Pelosi has got to go. "We have a failure of leadership
at the top," says Rice. And until that leadership changes, she tells me, "I don't think we can move forward."
Time
to put Pelosi out to pasture. This world is far different from when she entered the House, and she has lost all
semblance of contact with the common man. In 2010 she said, and we quote: "We have to pass the [Obamacare] bill
so that you can find out what's in it." That's like saying we need to let the mechanic do his work before he tells us
how much it's all going to cost. You'd be hard-pressed to find a dumber statement in the 21st century.
The
Passing of the Pelosi Era. The Pelosi factor has been a drag on Democrats in all four of the special elections
the party has lost since Trump's November triumph. Prediction: Democrats will not go into the 2018 Congressional
elections with San Fran Nan as the party's face and future. No way. As President Kennedy said, "Sometimes
party loyalty asks too much."
Pity Pelosi and Her
Increasing Pain. [Scroll down] Little Nancy was the only daughter among the six children of Thomas "Big
Tommy" D'Alesandro Jr., legendary and long-time mayor of Baltimore. When Nancy reached the age of political maturity,
which in Baltimore is 8 years old, her father appointed her to take the phone calls of favor-seekers. "Oh," Little
Nancy would say, "You want a construction permit to build inside Druid Hill Park? OK, here's what you have to do for
us." And Little Nancy was good at it. She grew up to become the fundraising superstar of the Democratic Party.
Little Nancy's brother was a member of the House of Representatives and later also mayor of Baltimore. She never knew
an un-powerful moment in her life.
Democrat
Resistance Mobilizes Against... Nancy Pelosi. For a party that constantly makes sanctimonious charges against
Republicans for being stuck in the past, it sure doesn't sound like the Democrats' current leadership is open to
change — or input from anyone under the age of 65 who hasn't been in power for decades.
Democrats
Have No Alternative to Nancy Pelosi. Frustrated Democrats who want to replace House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi have an urgent problem: there is no alternative. After leading the House Democrats for 15 years, the San
Francisco stalwart has total control of her caucus and is a massive fundraising force that her party cannot easily
replace. And as the first female Speaker of the House (2007-2011), she has unique status and an array of female
supporters, both inside and outside Congress.
Nancy
Pelosi, the Face of the Sinking Democratic Brand. A lack of self-confidence is not one of House minority leader
Nancy Pelosi's problems. But Pelosi's unabashed use of open threats and her death grip on power are a very big problem
for her party. Pelosi's performance at her press conference on Thursday [6/22/2017] was epic in its demonstration of
both her enormous self-regard and her complete confidence that nothing and no one will remove her from her powerful
perch. While no one really expected that comments from a few stray dissident members of the House caucus would cause
her to resign, her contempt for those critics and her willingness to threaten them publicly takes your breath away.
Democrats'
real problem is that Nancy Pelosi is their true face. Furious at their loss in yet another Trump-era special
election, Democrats are calling for the head of ... House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. It's understandable:
Republican ads in Georgia painted the Democrat, Jon Ossoff, as sure to be a Pelosi pawn — a charge that has scored
for the GOP in race after race over the last decade. New York's own Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-Nassau) is far from
alone in saying, "It's time for Nancy Pelosi to go, and the entire leadership team."
Pelosi
Won't Say Aborting Baby With Beating Heart 'Dishonors God'. Three weeks ago, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) said it dishonors God to pull out of the Paris Accord on climate change, but today she did not say it dishonors
God to abort a baby with a beating heart. At Pelosi's press briefing on Thursday [6/22/2017], CNSNews.com asked Pelosi
if her understanding of what dishonors God extends to aborting a baby with a beating heart as well as pulling out of the
Paris Accord.
Pelosi
faces growing doubts among Dems after Georgia loss. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats
put a brave face on Wednesday morning [6/21/2017] after a disappointing loss in the Georgia special election, yet there is no
disguising the unhappiness in the party ranks. There is no challenge to Pelosi's leadership, and none is going to
happen at this point, said numerous Democrats. But it's clear frustration is growing with the longtime Democratic
leader following the extensive losses Democrats have suffered over the past half-decade.
'I
think I'm worth the trouble' says Pelosi. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defended her position atop the
party, as a number of caucus members have suggested it might be time for a fresh face. 'I think I'm worth the trouble,'
she told reporters Thursday [6/22/2017]. 'I feel very confident in the support I have in the caucus,' Pelosi also
said. The calls for Pelosi to vacate her top spot came after Tuesday's election loss in Georgia with Democrat Jon
Ossoff being routed by Republican Karen Handel.
Pelosi
says she's staying: 'I think I'm worth the trouble'. Defiant House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday
that she's not going anywhere, brushing back complaints from rank-and-file Democrats that she has led them to political
oblivion and insisting that whatever the election losses she has overseen, she is "worth the trouble." A series of
losses in special congressional elections — including one that cost the party tens of millions of dollars in
donations in a losing cause in Georgia this week — have sparked a new round of criticism for the Californian.
Democrats
Talk Openly About Challenging Nancy Pelosi's Leadership. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is facing
unprecedented pressure, as frustrated Democrats have begun — for the first time in seven years — to
talk about replacing her after a series of disappointments at the ballot box. Pelosi was hailed as a driving force
behind Democrats' victory in 2006, when the party seized both houses of Congress and set the stage for victory in the 2008
presidential election. She became the first female Speaker of the House, and set about centralizing power in the
Speaker's office, ruling her caucus with unquestioned authority and promoting an unapologetically liberal agenda.
Wake
Up, Democrats. Ossoff Didn't Lose This Race — Pelosi Did. In the end, the high-profile special
election in Georgia's 6th District was a referendum on Nancy Pelosi, not Donald Trump. The numbers bear this out.
According to The Washington Post's James Hohman, "Pelosi was a huge drag on Jon Ossoff. Internal GOP polling showed she
had 98 percent name ID, was 35 points underwater." There's also this: Ossoff backed off Trump (for fear of
offending Republicans he would presumably need), while Republicans were 100 percent committed to linking Ossoff to Pelosi.
Republicans
turned to Nancy Pelosi to win in Georgia. Voters in the traditionally conservative seat had resisted President
Trump and were slow to embrace Republican nominee Karen Handel in the special election to replace Tom Price, now Health and
Human Services secretary. But Congressional Leadership Fund rediscovered a familiar antidote to Trump's drag and
Handel's standoffishness in its internal polling: Pelosi, the House minority leader from California, who would once
again become speaker in a Democratic takeover.
Moments
After Questioning Trump's Mental Health, Pelosi Has Senior Moment(s). Shortly after calling into question President
Trump's mental health on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's own mental health came under scrutiny, as the
77-year-old California congresswoman referred to President Trump as "President Bush" and forgot what day of the week it is.
A reporter quickly helped her correct the gaffe, interjecting "Trump," but Pelosi appeared oblivious she slipped up.
Nancy
Pelosi finds nap-tastic NEW reason to question Trump's 'fitness for office'. Rep. Adam Schiff is among
Dems who have been forced to downshift on the Trump/Russia rhetoric, and Nancy Pelosi is joining him by returning to the
Dems' default position on Trump, which is to question his overall fitness for office, with a new twist. Pelosi's now
saying Trump might not be fit to lead because he doesn't get enough sleep:
Isn't that his decision to make? Pelosi
investigating why Trump visited Saudi Arabia on first foreign trip. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said
Friday she finds it "strange" that President Trump decided to make Saudi Arabia his first foreign trip, adding that she was
looking into it. "I just think it was a very strange choice to go there," Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, said
on MSNBC. "Especially in light of having served on the committee that investigated 9/11, and knowing the suspicions that
exist in our country, and among his people."
After Losses, Democrats Struggle
to 'Un-Pelosi' the Party. Frustrated with the leadership in their party, some heartland Democrats are looking to decouple themselves
from Nancy Pelosi and the other coastal elites calling the shots. The People's House Project, a super PAC founded by former MSNBC host Krystal
Ball, aims to recruit candidates and raise money in a structure separate from national Democrats. The reason? Democrats have veered
too far to the left and chosen a message that's toxic in much of the United States.
Pelosi
says Trump 'dishonoring' God in global warming decision. Rep. Nancy Pelosi said Thursday [6/1/2017] that President
Trump was "dishonoring" God and questioned whether his grandchildren will even be able to breathe air after his announcement a day
earlier that he would withdraw from the Paris climate accord. "How is he ever going to explain to his grandchildren what he
did to the air they breathe — assuming they breathe air," she said at her weekly press conference. She compared
the president to racist segregationists during the civil rights movement, said Mr. Trump's decision was yet another reason he
needed to release his tax returns, and said the U.S. has isolated itself from the world, joining just Syria in rejecting the Paris
agreement as too onerous.
The Editor says...
It is somewhat disturbing that one of the country's most rabid supporters of abortion, for any reason and at any stage of pregnancy,
has the temerity to accuse someone else of dishonoring God. But in this case, Ms. Pelosi is attempting to make a connection
where none exists. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could double, and you'd probably never notice, except
that your lawn would be greener. The Paris agreement has nothing to do with air pollution. Nancy Pelosi apparently hopes
you don't think for yourself.
Green
religion — justification by climate faith alone. Listen closely to the cant and jargon of modern
environmentalism, and in the empty invocations of "science," you are witnessing the rites of a religious faith. If the
screams after President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement seemed overwrought, it's because Trump
hadn't merely adopted a policy the other side disagreed with; he'd committed a secular, liberal, sacrilege. Take CNN's
Fareed Zakaria, who said, "This will be the day that the United States resigned as the leader of the free world." He then
listed what he regarded as the benefits of Paris, without addressing why it had anything to do with American leadership.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Trump supports a "dirty-energy agenda" that is a "grave threat to our planet."
The Editor says...
There is no such thing as dirty energy. Dirt does not stick to energy. Only the most poorly-educated public school
students would put any stock in a castigatory comment about "dirty energy." Nancy Pelosi apparently hopes you don't engage in
any rational thought at all.
Pelosi:
'It's Hard' to Say 'President Trump,' He Has No Respect For the Job. Tuesday at a discussion hosted by the
Commonwealth Club, Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that it was "hard" for her to say the words "President
Trump." When Pelosi referenced "the new president of the United States," the moderator said, "I noticed you don't say
President Trump."
Pelosi:
'The Holy Month of Ramadan is a Sacred Time for Peaceful Study'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) released a statement
on Friday [5/26/2017] in observance of "the Holy Month of Ramadan." "Ramadan reminds us of the rich diversity of our nation, and of the many
contributions that Muslims have made to our country as public servants, members of our Armed Services, scholars, artists, athletes and engaged
citizens," Pelosi said.
Pelosi:
Liberals Only Voted for 2011 Defense Spending Bill so They Could Repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'. House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) spoke Friday at an LGBT rights event at the Pride Center at Equality Park of South Florida,
where she touted how liberals in the Democratic Party only voted for the nation's defense spending bill for fiscal year 2011
so they could repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." "Don't tell anybody I told you this," Pelosi said, before explaining how
she was able to get liberal Democrats onboard to support the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, the annual federal
law that specifies the Defense Department's budget and expenditures.
Democrats probably think this is air-tight logic: Pelosi
Complains Trump's Trip 'Wasn't Even Alphabetical'. On Thursday [5/25/2017], House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) questioned President Donald Trump's failure to visit countries in alphabetical order. Asked at a press conference to
comment on Trump's trip abroad, Pelosi expressed concern that Trump didn't start with Canada (with the letter "C") like previous
presidents: "I thought it was unusual for the President of the United States to go to Saudi Arabia first. Saudi Arabia?"
Pelosi said. "It wasn't even alphabetical. I mean, Saudi Arabia."
Pelosi
Accidentally Refers to NRA as Part of Intelligence Community. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.)
appeared to confuse the National Rifle Association with the National Security Agency during remarks Tuesday at the Peter G.
Peterson Foundation's 2017 Fiscal Summit. While being interviewed by CNN's Dana Bash, Pelosi discussed the ongoing
investigation into whether there was collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and the Russians, and whether he may have
obstructed justice, according to NTK Network.
Nancy
Pelosi Gets Completely Destroyed By Questioner In CNN Town Hall. Rep. Nancy Pelosi took her dazed and
confused act to prime-time TV on Monday night [5/15/2017], joining CNN's Chris Cuomo for a town hall. She did her same
old tired schtick, but the highlight of the night was when Jake Lee, a small business owner from West Hollywood, Calif.,
stood up to ask a question. "Good evening, madam leader. Before the election on November 8, your side of the
aisle were asking for the former head of the FBI to resign," said Lee. "Now that he has been let go, why the sudden and
selective outrage from your side of the aisle?" Pelosi is immediately befuddled.
Whatever
Nancy Pelosi meant to say here, we got this acid trip-sounding thing instead. Say, isn't one of the problems
with having Donald Trump as president that he supposedly utters incomprehensible blather about things he knows nothing
about? Isn't the issue that a man in such a high position of authority, speaking with such a combination of ignorance
and inarticulation, could cause a huge misunderstanding or, worse, start an international incident? Just checking,
because didn't Democrats make Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House at one time? And don't they continue to vote for her
even now for that very position, even though they're in the minority and can't actually elect her to it? [Video clip]
She's
The Boss — The Disturbing Truth About Nancy Pelosi. This is a riveting expose on one the most power
hungry, brutal female politicians of all time and as you will see after reading the book, it runs in her family. The
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, is no retiring, kind and meek grandmother. She is made of Baltimore steel and she
has been forged in the boiling corrupt vat of politics in a never-ending quest for power and status that she feels is her
birthright. Pelosi came from a family that bears a striking resemblance to organized crime. She will ruthlessly
use and discard any one in her way or who will forward her agenda. She rules the House with an iron grip and she is
simultaneously feared and hated by most politicians.
Is Nancy
Pelosi The Poster Girl For Term Limits? Pelosi has been in office since 1987 — after
inheriting the seat from her predecessor, Sala Burton, who had it bequeathed to her by her husband, Phillip Burton.
Phillip Burton had been elected to Congress in a special election in February 1964 and held California's 6th Congressional
District seat for 10 consecutive elections until his death in 1983. His wife, Sala Burton replaced him. When Sala
became ill with cancer in 1986, she decided to not run for reelection but instead put her support behind her friend, 46-year
old Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi won the seat in a special election after Sala's death and hasn't had any real opposition
since. She hasn't even participated in a candidates' debate since that first election in 1987.
Pelosi:
Trump Budget Is Systemic Deconstruction of the Federal Government and Its Role'. "This budget is really a slap in the face of the
future," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday [3/16/2017], after President Donald Trump released his Fiscal Year 2018 budget
blueprint to "make America great again." Pelosi said the budget — which boosts defense, homeland security, veterans affairs
and school choice at the expense of the EPA, State Department, and other programs — fails as a statement of values, but it
succeeds as a "deconstruction" of the federal government.
NOW she tells us. Pelosi:
I would have retired if Clinton had defeated Trump. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi revealed Friday that she
was ready to retire from Congress if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had won the November election over President
Trump. Pelosi told reporters following a discussion at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor that if
Clinton had won the White House, she "was ready to go home" after 14 years as House Democratic leader and four years
as speaker of the House.
Pelosi:
Obamacare Drafting Process 'One of the Most Transparent in Recent Memory'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D., Calif.) tweeted on Tuesday [3/7/2017] that the drafting process for the Affordable Care Act was "one of the most transparent
in recent memory." Pelosi defended the health care law the day after House Republicans unveiled their Obamacare replacement
plan on Monday night. Some lawmakers, including Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.), criticized House Republican leaders for drawing up
the bill in a secret fashion. The House's top Democrat built on this criticism and took to Twitter on Tuesday to argue the
Affordable Care Act was crafted in a transparent manner. She cited the number of hearings and meetings that were held before
Obamacare was passed.
Now
Trump demands an 'investigation' of Pelosi for 'lying' after photo reveals she met the Russian ambassador too — after saying
she hadn't hours before. President Donald Trump forcefully went after both prongs of the Democratic congressional
leadership, demanding investigations of both congressional Demoratic leaders after photos purported to show their own Russia
ties. It wasn't immediately clear if the president was serious in his call for an investigation of his rivals. At
the moment, it is his administration's own contacts with Russia, and Russia's alleged election hacking, that is the subject of
investigations by the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees.
Nancy
Pelosi: 'Very proud' of the 'dignity' Democrats showed during Trump's speech. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi said Wednesday she's "very proud" that her members managed to sit through President Trump's hourlong speech to
Congress Tuesday night with "dignity." "I was very proud of the dignity with which our members listened to his speech,"
Mrs. Pelosi said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "It was clearly a bait-and-switch speech." She said one unnamed member
had said at one caucus meeting: "Look, if you can't curb your enthusiasm there tonight, don't go. And I'm not going."
No,
Ms. Pelosi, Attorney General Sessions did not commit perjury. Napoleon Bonaparte once said, "from the
sublime to the ridiculous is but a step." There is nothing sublime about Nancy Pelosi. Ridiculous, however, is an
apt description. At a news conference Thursday [3/2/2017], the former Speaker of the House denounced Attorney General Jeff
Sessions as a liar, pronounced him guilty of perjury, and demanded his resignation. This comes just days after she
erroneously accused the Trump White House of obstructing justice. Clearly, she's on a tear. Who knew the
democratic leader, who is not a lawyer, was such an expert on the law?
Media
Hits Ivanka Trump For Possibly Not Keeping Kosher; Is Fine With Catholic Nancy Pelosi Promoting Abortion. First
Daughter Ivanka Trump and her family are quite possibly the highest-profile Modern Orthodox Jews in American history.
Ivanka, who converted in 2009, has spoken about how her family observes the Sabbath, keeps kosher, and celebrates various
Jewish holidays together. And now, for some reason, the media has taken it upon itself to become the "kosher police."
Take, for instance, this gem from the Washingtonian, where the writer took the mind-boggling step of phoning a chef to
inquire about what Ivanka and her husband ordered for dinner. [...]
Nancy
Pelosi refuses to applaud American job creation. During his Address to Congress [2/28/2017], Trump ran down a
list of companies that have announced investments and job additions in the last several weeks. "Since my election,
Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Generall Motors, Spring, Sofbank, Lockheed, Intel, Walmart and many others have announced that they will
invest billions and billions of dollars in the United States and create tens of thousands of new American jobs," Trump
said. As many stood to applaud, Pelosi remained seated with a sour look on her face.
Pelosi:
Why Yes — We're Looking At Ways To Impeach Trump. Yesterday [2/27/2017], House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) held a prebuttal conference in the First Amendment Lounge of
the National Press Club. At the presser, Pelosi was asked about impeaching Donald Trump, which is something that the
progressive base of the Democratic Party is clamoring for Congress to do. With a solid Republican majority, that's not
going to happen.
Pelosi: Amend the First
Amendment. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday endorsed a movement announced by other congressional
Democrats on Wednesday [2/22/2017] to ratify an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow Congress to regulate
political speech when it is engaged in by corporations as opposed to individuals.
Nancy
'Pelosi showing signs of mental breakdown. Has Trump Derangement Syndrome affected the ability of Nancy Pelosi to perform normal life functions (for a politician)? Or is
age finally taking its toll on her?
ICE:
Yes, 75 Percent Of Illegal Immigrants We Arrested Have Criminal Records. Over the past couple of days,
immigration enforcement agents have round up almost 700 illegal aliens — 75 percent of which had criminal
records. Rep. Nancy Pelosi disputed the claim, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement also confirmed the figure
released by the Department of Homeland Security.
Dingbat
Nancy Pelosi Stands Up for "Our Values" Defending a Self-Confessed Gangbanger. Democrat dingbat Nancy Pelosi
once again demonstrated some very sketchy Democrat values. She is characterizing an ICE action as against "our values".
ICE took a gangbanger into custody. She left that out when she made her statements in his defense. "In another
assault on our values in the past week we had witnessed ICE raids across our nation targeting parents, students and a
DACA-protected DREAMer. We talked about some of this yesterday with their members," the dingbat said. But Nancy
is advocating breaking up the family! The criminal father is being deported.
Pelosi:
Trump already lagging behind Obama. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tore into President Trump Friday by
arguing that his nascent administration has no accomplishments compared to his predecessor. Pelosi noted Friday on the
same day in 2009, former President Barack Obama had already signed into law his $800 billion economic stimulus bill. "A
jobs bill in the first four weeks passed and signed by the president today eight years ago," she said during the Families USA
Health Action Conference in Washington. "Imagine in four weeks what this president has done and here we are. There's
no jobs bill, there's no infrastructure bill."
The Editor says...
Nobody expects Trump to keep up with the pace of Obama's extravagant spending. (What did the $800 billion stimulus bill accomplish, anyway?)
The Republicans aren't in any hurry to accomplish the Democrats' goals, and Ms. Pelosi should be delighted if he doesn't accomplish anything at all.
In any case, President Trump could get a lot more done if he didn't have to face constant resistance and friction from people like Nancy Pelosi. Besides all
that, the moment Mr. Trump completes any task, the Democrats will denounce it as harmful, hateful or un-American. And let's face it — Obama
got what he wanted right away because he was a sacred cow. So yes, this will take a while.
Back
to the Future with Nancy Pelosi. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has served in Congress a long time.
She has served long enough to oppose Republican presidents going back to Ronald Reagan. In the modern era she has
missed only Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon, but she opposed them too! Make no mistake about that. She has served
in Congress long enough to oppose both Presidents Bush, father and son, over a period of twelve years. It therefore
makes perfect sense that in a press conference yesterday she confused her current opposition to President Trump with her
opposition to the Presidents Bush in ages past.
Useful Idiots No More. "Tell him
you are a Muslim, tell him you are a Muslim," Nancy Pelosi instructed Congressman Andre Carson at an anti-Trump rally on
Monday, moments after she had just introduced him as a "Muslim member of Congress." She apparently felt that the crowd hadn't
sufficiently gotten the point. Pelosi normally rattles on about the dangers of "religion in politics," but on Monday night
[1/30/2017] she very much wanted religion in it — and not just any religion, but the most patriarchal of them.
To see feminists hawking Islam so feverishly is an amusing spectacle, especially since a day or so later Pelosi had recovered
her fear of religion in the public square and creeping Christian patriarchy.
Pelosi
loses in 2-1 vote upholding ban of embattled student artwork. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made a
vigorous but ultimately futile argument on Friday to keep student artwork hanging near the Capitol that portrays police as
pigs, noting other politically themed paintings remain on the wall. The controversial painting was selected as part of
a student art competition in Rep. William Lacy Clay's district. The Missouri Democrat hung it in the Capitol, and
Republicans immediately demanded that it should be taken down. After the Architect of the Capitol agreed the painting
should be removed, Pelosi appealed the decision to the House Office Building Commission.
Pelosi
Hot Mic: 'Tell Them You're A Muslim'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was caught on a hot mic at a protest
Monday night, cynically encouraging congressman Andre Carson of Indiana to remind the crowd he is a Muslim. "Greetings
from the great state of Indiana. I'm Congressman Andre Carson!" Carson said during Monday's rally. "Tell them
you're a Muslim," Pelosi can be heard saying. "Tell them you're a Muslim." [Video clip]
Nancy
Pelosi Caught on HOT MIC Promoting Muslims. Muslim is the new "black," at least when it comes to minorities.
I warned of this confluence of race and religion in my book Sexy Brilliance and Other Political Lies. I predicted that Muslims
would learn the ways of black Leftists, then add the "secret sauce" of religion to ultimately get Leftists to allow Muslims to
dominate America. We know the radical Muslims have made this their strategy for quite some time. They brag that they
won't have to actually fight us with guns. They won't even have to do what Muslims enjoy most, which is to cut off the
heads of Infidels. No, Muslims simply nuzzle up to Leftists and let the caliphate begin.
Mother
Of Son Killed By Illegal to Pelosi: Which One Of Your Children Is Expendable For An Illegal Life? At a
CNN townhall Tuesday night [1/31/2017], Nancy Pelosi was asked by a sobbing mother who lost her son to an illegal immigrant,
who she said brutally tortured him before death, which one of her grandchildren she would give up to make room for an
illegal. "If you need to go home tonight and line up your babies as you say, and your grandbabies, which one of them
could you look in their eyes today, and tell them that they're expendable for another foreign person to have an a nicer
life? Which one would you look to say, you, my child, are expendable for someone else to come over here and not follow
the law and have a nicer life?" Laura Wilkerson, who said her son was "slaughtered" by an illegal immigrant, asked Pelosi.
Pelosi:
Democrats Do 'the Lord's Work,' Republicans 'Dishonor God'. In yet another example of moral narcissism and the
liberal inability to understand conservative positions on faith, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared that her party,
the Democratic Party, does the will of God while Republicans dishonor their Creator. Of Republicans, the Democrat
congresswoman from California declared, "They pray in church on Sunday and they prey on people the rest of the week.
And while we're doing the Lord's work, ministering to the needs of God's creation, they are ignoring those needs which is to
dishonor the God who made them."
The Editor says...
It's always refreshing to listen to a rabidly pro-abortion socialist preaching about matters of faith.
HHS
could issue blanket waivers to gut individual insurance mandate. President Donald Trump's day-one move to begin
eroding the Obamacare medical insurance law has been met with angry opposition from the House of Representatives' top
Democrat. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who pushed the Affordable Care Act through Congress when she was Speaker of the
House, called Trump's largely symbolic executive order a sign of 'cut and run' cowardice. Trump inked a directive Friday [1/20/2017]
ordering federal agencies to weaken Obamacare's authority by taking every opportunity possible to limit its cost to consumers.
Pelosi blames Bush for $9 trillion
in debt added under Obama. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blamed former President George W. Bush and the
Republicans on Friday [1/13/2017] for the more than $9 trillion that has been added to the national debt under President Obama's
watch. Pelosi argued that under Obama, the annual budget deficit, which contributes to the national debt, has been reduced
dramatically, and said that without Obama's work, the national debt would be even higher. She also mostly blamed Bush for
not paying for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Reaction to the article above: Nancy Pelosi and the
Big Lie. Every word Nancy Pelosi utters is a lie, all conjunctions and articles included. President Bush
submitted a budget for fiscal year 2009, which included a projected deficit of a way-too-high $407.4 billion. However, the
Congress, then under control of the Democrats, with Mrs Pelosi serving as the Speaker of the House, declined to pass President Bush's
budget. Rather, after the end of FY 2008 on September 30, 2008, Congress funded the federal government through the
mechanisms of continuing resolutions, rather than normal budgeting and appropriations.
Pelosi
blames Bush for $9 trillion in debt added under Obama. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blamed former President George W.
Bush and the Republicans on Friday [1/13/2017] for the more than $9 trillion that has been added to the national debt under President
Obama's watch. Pelosi argued that under Obama, the annual budget deficit, which contributes to the national debt, has been reduced
dramatically, and said that without Obama's work, the national debt would be even higher. She also mostly blamed Bush for not paying
for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Stop
trying to undermine Trump legitimacy. House Speaker Paul Ryan stood stone-faced behind House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi as she addressed the new 115th Congress. Before handing him the gavel, she tossed a Molotov cocktail at
the GOP — saying our democracy cannot be "subverted by the dark operations of a foreign regime." Pelosi was
referring, of course, to reports that Russia had attempted to influence the American election in favor of Donald Trump, who
it is believed is friendlier to the Russian regime. Just days before U.S. intelligence agencies released findings to
that effect, she was surfing a wave of stories like one in the New York Times that bore the headline "Obama Strikes
Back at Russia for Election Hacking." This tapestry of vagueness has led to confusion about what exactly happened
during the election.
Nancy
Pelosi: Obamacare Was 'Bipartisan' Legislation. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) now says the
process of passing Obamacare in 2010 was "bipartisan," and that only "tweaks" were made to the healthcare law using the
reconciliation budgetary process. Pelosi's comments come as Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump begin the
process of repealing President Barack Obama's signature legislation. Obamacare passed in the House on March 21,
2010 with no Republican votes in favor of it and 34 Democrats voting against it.
The Democrats thrive on fear: Pelosi
on Ryan's Medicaid Plan: People 'Won't Be Able to Go to Their Own Doctor'. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Wednesday that House Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wisc.) proposal to cut Medicaid spending over time to
help balance the federal budget would prevent seniors from seeing the doctor of their choosing. "And I might add with
what they want to do to the Affordable Care Act and what they want to do in the Ryan budget to Medicaid — a
trillion dollars over 10 years taken out of Medicaid," Pelosi said. "Two thirds of that goes to long-term heath
care to our seniors." "They won't be able to go to their own doctor if you take this away," Pelosi said.
The
faction that kept Nancy Pelosi in power. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi last week survived a serious
challenge to her role as the top House Democrat largely because the caucus has in recent years shrunk to a group of mostly
liberal lawmakers. The more concentrated caucus of liberals remained loyal to Pelosi, who, as the congresswoman
representing San Francisco, is among the most left-leaning lawmakers in Congress and championed President Obama's liberal
agenda during the two years when Congress and the White House were in Democratic hands, from 2009-11.
Laughing
At Liberals As They Lose Their Minds. The liberals are truly going nuts, and it's beautiful. They
recently resurrected Nancy Pelosi for another glorious term winnowing away the House Democrat caucus. Pretty soon it's
just going to be her and some guy representing Berkeley who they recruited while he was shouting "Workers of the world
unite!" at bored coeds on Telegraph Avenue. You know, if you want to reach out to the kind of hard-working,
salt-of-the-earth, normal Americans who voted for the black guy then allegedly refused to vote for the woman because they are
racist, you totally want an ancient, rich, snooty, San Francisco leftist and Botox after-picture like the Nanster.
Pelosi:
'I Don't Think That People Want a New Direction'. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), just elected to an eighth
term as House Democratic leader despite the defection of 63 fellow Democrats, was asked on Sunday what she tells Democrats
who want a new direction. "Well, I don't think that people want a new direction. Our values unify us," Pelosi
told CBS's "Face the Nation."
Dancing with
insanity. One-hundred and thirty-four House Democrats collectively lost their minds last week. That is
how many of Nancy Pelosi's colleagues it took to vote her back into power despite having lost her third consecutive chance at
winning back the majority from the Republicans. Her win over Youngstown Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan for Minority Leader
proved two-thirds of those House Democrats have more interest in someone who is a deep-pocket fundraiser than someone who
perhaps could have made the party more competitive in swing districts or more cohesive in their message to the voters.
Pelosi holds onto
leadership. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday fended off a challenge to her long
leadership reign, defeating Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) in a closed-door vote prompted largely by Donald Trump's unlikely
ascension to the White House. Pelosi got 134 votes to Ryan's 63 — winning 68 percent of the votes
after declaring before the election that she had the support of two-thirds of the caucus.
Pelosi's
firebreathing comments on Tim Ryan. Over at the Huffington Post, Jennifer Bendery interviewed Nancy Pelosi
about Tim Ryan's challenge for her leadership post. In case you were thinking it's a friendly contest, Pelosi wasted no
time pulling out the flamethrower. Pelosi called Ryan's charges that she's trying to increase her own power within the
caucus "almost pathetic." She also objected in strenuous terms to the idea that she is out of touch with the sort of white
working-class Democrats who just re-elected Ryan but also voted in large numbers for Donald Trump.
Dems
Have a Pelosi Problem. Barring some last-minute surge of support for Ohio congressman Tim Ryan, House Democrats
appear set to once again elect Nancy Pelosi as their leader this week. Considering the catastrophic collapse of the
House Democratic caucus over the last six years, it seems fair to ask: Why? Just how much worse could they do
with Ryan running the show? Even if Pelosi isn't single-handedly to blame for the failures that have happened on her
watch, it's hard to see how she could lead her troops back into the majority.
It's
time for Democrats to give Nancy Pelosi her walking papers. Lots of questions are being asked by chastened
Democrats in the wake of Donald Trump's victory. Here's one they're not asking enough, however: Why does Nancy
Pelosi still have a job? After her pathetic nearly 14-year tenure as the most powerful Democrat in Congress, she's
poised to continue as House minority leader. It's a travesty. President Obama has overseen the Democrats' biggest
loss of House, Senate, gubernatorial and local seats in nearly 100 years. Yet Pelosi can't be held blameless:
Since she became speaker in 2007, Democrats are down 45 House seats.
Pelosi
moves to intimidate Democratic rivals as she tries to cling to power. Rep. Nancy Pelosi formally announced
Wednesday she is running to retain her spot as House minority leader and sent a warning shot to potential rivals by informing
her colleagues that she has already locked up "the support of more than two-thirds" of the Democratic caucus.
Mrs. Pelosi has led the caucus since 2003, but the results of the election last week convinced the caucus to delay a
scheduled vote this week on leadership posts until Nov. 30, with members saying they want more time to digest the shellacking
the party took. Democrats have lost 63 House seats during her tenure atop the Democratic party alongside President
Obama and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
Pelosi's
Future Uncertain as Dems Weigh Options. Faced with the unexpected task of rebuilding their party under a Donald
Trump presidency, Democrats are deliberating whether their path forward includes Nancy Pelosi at the helm of the House
caucus. Under significant pressure from frustrated rank-and-file members, Minority Leader Pelosi postponed leadership
elections until after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Nancy
Pelosi's Congressional District Has Taken In Zero Syrian Refugees. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been
a vocal backer of President Obama's (ultimately successful) plan to import a minimum of 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of
the fiscal year, at one point accusing Republicans of "slamming the door on mothers and children." But with just days
remaining in the 2016 Fiscal Year, Pelosi's own district has yet to resettle a single Syrian refugee.
The
Clinton campaign's plea for Republican mercy. Nancy Pelosi, trying to choke back panic as the presidential race
tightens and concern grows over Hillary Clinton's obviously fragile health, has appealed to Paul Ryan's sense of gallantry. The
little lady needs a little help. She begs him not to "let" his party use anything damaging to the Democrats that turns up
in emails hacked from Democratic email servers. And no talk about Hillary's health either. "Defending our democracy," she
said in a letter to the speaker this week, "is more important than any advantage or disadvantage in this election." The only
thing more important than "the sanctity of our democratic process" are the election prospects of her party.
Relax,
Nancy Pelosi says no need to worry if Hillary potentially let slip a few state secrets. Democratic House leader
Nancy Pelosi said during an interview on CBS's "This Morning" on Monday [9/5/2016] that voters should not be bothered that
then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, America's top foreign diplomat at the time, didn't know the letter "C" in her emails
marked confidential information. "I think they shouldn't be that concerned," the San Francisco Democrat said. So
what if a state secret slipped out here or there, there's plenty more where they came from... besides, Clinton was much too
busy to get mired down in details.
Pelosi:
Clinton emails [are just] a technicality. Nancy Pelosi dismissed Hillary Clinton's growing email scandal as a series of
"technicalities" Monday [9/5/2016], brushing aside FBI and congressional investigations. The House minority leader said
voters shouldn't get "bogged down in some technicalities" and added, "it's really much ado about nothing, but too much ado."
Pelosi, on CBS' "This Morning," had been asked about an FBI report released last week, in which Clinton repeatedly said she
couldn't recall key details and events related to classified information procedures.
Nancy
Pelosi Memo: Obama's Iraq Withdrawal Created Islamic State. An internal Democratic Party memo allegedly
hacked from Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)'s personal computer and posted by purported hacker Guccifer 2.0 seems to agree with Donald
Trump's sentiments that the policies of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama helped to create the Islamic State. "In short:
Our invasion created the atmosphere for a Jordanian to start a Muslim sectarian war, which ultimately created ISIS," states an
October 2, 2014 memo from Mike Ryan, policy director for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).
Pelosi
Docs Show Dems Trying Hard To Cast Benghazi As A 'Conspiracy Theory'. New documents released from Democratic
Leader Nancy Pelosi's computer by purported hacker Guccifer 2.0, reveal democratic talking points to counter Republican
Benghazi attacks. The document casts the controversy surrounding Benghazi as "Legitimate outrage over the deaths of
American diplomats mixed with partisanship." The document also admits that then Ambassador to the United Nations Susan
Rice "gave incorrect information on television" in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
Margaret
Sanger Award Recipient Nancy Pelosi on Zika: 'This is About Babies'. At a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday [8/11/2016],
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the Zika virus threat is "all about babies." "The Zika in the Southern part of our
country is in our country, and because it hasn't hit home in [a Republican's] district, doesn't mean that it isn't hitting home for the American
people," Pelosi said. "You know how I am about babies and this is about babies. I just can't understand it." As CNSNews.com
previously reported, in 2014, Pelosi was the recipient of Planned Parenthood Federation of America's annual award named for Margaret Sanger, a
documented eugenicist who founded what is now the nation's largest abortion provider.
Welfare is
the new work. The welfare/entitlement state of mind has spiraled out of control in America. No one is
lifting a finger of opposition. The cost of welfare is now well over $1 trillion a year. Food stamps are so
ubiquitous that they have replaced dollars as the new standard currency in many inner cities in America. Even in affluent
areas with upscale grocery stores, food stamp recipients fill their carts with everything from cakes to lobster. Liberals
love welfare. It was only a few years ago that Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi opined that putting more people on
food stamps and unemployment insurance is one of the "best ways to stimulate the economy." Which is more astonishing?
That she believes this lunacy or that she would be dumb enough to say it out loud.
Pelosi
says Clinton struggles with white male vote because of 'guns, gays and God'. Donald Trump is beating Hillary
Clinton among white men because guns, gays, and God, according to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "I think that, so
many times, white — non-college-educated white males have voted Republican. They voted against their own
economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G's, God being the woman's right to
choose," Pelosi told PBS's Judy Woodruff in an interview Wednesday [7/27/2016]. But, Pelosi contended, that's changing
because of Clinton's "economic agenda to create jobs, good-paying jobs, increasing paychecks." The opposition from white
males "is softening," she argued.
Nancy Pelosi
blows off traffic laws — to shop at shoe store! [Scroll down] "A large perfectly polished and
gleaming black SUV is attempting a left turn from Hunt onto southbound Main (not easy). Suddenly blue/red lights are
flashing from the windshield area of the SUV (like you would see in an official fire/police vehicle)," he continued. "I
said to my friends, I've never seen that before on a 'regular' vehicle and I'd think that's illegal and dangerous. They
agreed." That's when the large black SUV jolted across two lanes of traffic, lights flashing, to park in front of a
fire hydrant at the high end shoe boutique Footcandy. "A St. Helena police car happens to be going northbound and
pulls into the center lane and the officer starts shaking his arm and hollering at the driver of the SUV. While this
goes on a man exits the SUV assisting a woman from the vehicle. She dashes off to Footcandy while he waits by the SUV
in the red zone," Smith explained. The police officer then drove off without confronting the driver, he wrote.
Nancy
Pelosi Thanks Press for Creating 'Echo Chamber' on Gun Control. During a press briefing on Thursday [6/23/2016], House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi openly thanked people in the news media for creating an "echo chamber" that provided extensive coverage of the Democrats' "sit-in" seeking
legislation to promote stricter gun control even though the Senate didn't approve a similar measure. "Thank you all," the California Democrat
said. "I never saw the gallery so full," she stated before noting that her staff "gave me six pages today. Six small-print, full pages
listing of newspapers around the country where the sit-in was on the front page. I thank you for that. Thank you all."
Nancy
Pelosi: Federal government, not Steve Jobs, 'invented' iPhone. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told an
audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday [6/9/2016] that Apple's iconic iPhone was "invented" by the federal government instead of
entrepreneur Steve Jobs. "Anybody here have a smartphone?" the California Democrat asked attendees at a hearing on the
Democratic National Convention platform. "In this smartphone, almost everything came from federal investments in
research. [...] They say Steve Jobs did a good idea designing it and putting it together. Federal research invented
it." Mrs. Pelosi implied that GPS technology, special alloys and other government-funded research projects were
enough to deem the federal government the inventor of the iPhone.
All
Your Technology Are Belong To Us. Nancy Pelosi joins the ranks of Al Gore, who invented the Internet, Elizabeth
"'there-is-nobody-in-this-country-who-got-rich-on-their-own" Warren and Barry "you-didn't-build-that-yourself" Obama.
She is now officially one of the illuminati who knows for sure that only the Government invents stuff (thanks to your
individual involuntary contributions to the Federal Treasury). See this iPhone? "Federal research invented it."
The Editor says...
For those of you who attended public schools, allow me to point out that research is not the same as invention.
Pelosi
to Media: Follow Late Night Comedians in Taking Down Donald Trump, GOP. Speaking to reporters on
Wednesday [5/11/2016], House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi instructed them to follow the lead of late night comedians (in the
mold of The Daily Show or The Nightly Show) to take down Donald Trump and the Republicans to the point that she offered to
"encourage" them to broadcast such exposes as the general election intensifies. Pelosi led into the suggestion for her
like-minded media members by lamenting that she and her fellow House Democrats would not be able to showcase "a side-by-side
and some of the egregious remarks" made by Donald Trump and allies due to House rules deeming such an exercise illegal.
Pelosi's
Husband Invested in Solar Firm Weeks Before Lucrative Expansion. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's husband
bought up to a quarter million dollars of stock in a now financially troubled green energy company just weeks before it
announced a major 2014 acquisition that sent stock prices soaring, public records show. SunEdison told regulators last
week that it is eyeing bankruptcy under the weight of $11.7 million in debt. But in late 2014, investors were bullish
on the company, which manufactures and operates solar and wind power facilities. Its 2014 purchase of wind energy company
First Wind "further bolstered the reputation of the company," wrote one market-watcher at the time. "Perhaps unsurprisingly,
SunEdison's stock soared an astounding 29% on news of this acquisition alone."
Nancy
Pelosi Quotes Mohammad at National Prayer Breakfast. At the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. this
morning [2/4/2016], House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) quoted Mohammad, the author of Islam's Koran, before she read from
the gospel of John. "We know that this message, this command of love, is not confined to New Testament," she said. "The
same message stands at the center of the Tora and the teachings of the Prophet Mohammad too." Pelosi quoted Mohammad's teaching
that, "None of you has faith until he loves for his brother or his neighbor what he loves for himself."
The Editor says...
It is remarkable that Ms. Pelosi, one of the most rabid supporters of abortion at any stage of pregnancy, has the audacity
and the temerity to quote from the Bible as if she were familiar with its contents.
Pelosi on Tea Party: 'Maybe Anarchy Would
Be Better for You'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the House Freedom Caucus, consisting of Tea Party-backed
lawmakers, is harmful to Congress as an institution, suggesting that anarchy might work better for them. Pelosi said she is "hopeful"
and "optimistic" about Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) serving as speaker of the House. Pelosi addressed some conservatives who object to the
new budget deal supported by retiring House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and welcomed by Democrats.
Nancy Pelosi, Expert Catholic.
Yesterday [10/1/2015], Nancy Pelosi held a press conference, where she touted her commitment to "women's health," and her
participation in a movement to ensure Federal funding continued for Planned Parenthood. Although she held the conference
open for questions from the media, she clearly did not believe anyone would actually ask any, and was, apparently, quite
taken by surprise when a journalist asked her whether a fetus with a beating heart and functioning liver, like the ones
referred to in the Center for Medical Progress videos as being perfect to harvest for body parts, was human.
Pelosi:
I haven't seen Planned Parenthood videos, but they're doctored. House Minority Leader Nanci Pelosi, D-Calif.,
questioned the truthfulness of the undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood employees discussing the harvesting and
sale of fetal organs, while admitting that she has not watched the videos. [...] "I also know that some of it is not real and
you can create any reality that you want," she said, while admitting that she has not seen the videos, and has only read news
reports about them.
Nancy
Pelosi stands atop her Margaret Sanger Award and proudly proclaims 'we all support the sanctity of life'. In
yesterday's speech to Congress, Pope Francis said the "Golden Rule also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and
defend human life at every stage of its development." [...] Margaret Sanger Award-winning Planned Parenthood cheerleader
Nancy Pelosi totally agrees with the pope on the sanctity of life at every stage of its development, except when she doesn't.
Pelosi
blasts GOP plans for panel to probe Planned Parenthood. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is bashing
House Republicans' plans to create a select committee focused on investigating Planned Parenthood after the release of
controversial videos about the group's handling of fetal tissue. "The Speaker's resignation has not yet broken
Republicans' fevered obsession with shutting down government at the expense of women's health," she said in a statement
Saturday, noting Friday's news that Speaker John Boehner will depart after October.
The Editor says...
Planned Parenthood faces numerous credible allegations that the
organs and limbs of aborted babies from their affiliated clinics were sold to the highest bidder. This has no
logical connection to "women's health."
Pelosi
Celebrates Iran Nuke Deal: 'This Is Historic. This Is Grand.'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.)
expressed tremendous enthusiasm and optimism at her press briefing today about the nuclear deal that the Obama administration
and five other governments has negotiated with the Iranian regime of Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei. Pelosi called the
deal "historic," "grand," and "visionary." The Congress is currently considering the deal in an unusual procedure that
does not handle the international agreement as a treaty but as an agreement between the president and a foreign government.
Why Progressives Are Wrong to
Revere Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger is a saint in the feminist church. She is a charter member of the progressive
hall of fame. Liberals revere this woman who preached "race improvement" and denounced what she called "human weeds". Hillary
Clinton glows that she is "in awe of" Sanger. She said so in 2009 upon receiving Planned Parenthood's "highest honor" that year:
its coveted Margaret Sanger Award. Likewise effusive was Nancy Pelosi when she proudly accepted the award in 2014.
Pelosi
blames feds for sanctuary city killing. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi put the
blame for the release of an illegal immigrant implicated in the July 1 murder of Kathryn Steinle on
federal agencies and bad communication Wednesday, rather than on San Francisco's sanctuary policy.
In a letter, Mrs. Pelosi and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a fellow California Democrat and a leader on immigration,
said the federal Bureau of Prisons' release of the illegal immigrant to San Francisco was the
foul up — not the city's subsequent release.
What
Won't They Ban? Totalitarians want complete fealty. Take Nancy Pelosi who uses
morality like a weapon and wants to remove the Mississippi state flag. On Thursday [7/9/2015],
Nancy Pelosi forced a vote on legislation banning the Confederate flag image (which is actually the
battle flag) from the Capitol. The House referred it to committee where it will be discussed to
death hopefully. Her resolution would have forced the Mississippi state flag, which includes an
image of the Confederate flag, from the House side of the Capitol. The woman who has no problem
with abortion until the moment of birth exclaimed, "This is about our morals. About who we are
as Americans."
Dying on the Sidewalk
of Nancy Pelosi's Sanctuary City. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) once said
that regardless of legal status, "north and south in this hemisphere... we are all Americans." Based
on that absurd statement, it stands to reason that Nancy Pelosi would be the Grand Diva of the sanctuary city
that gave 45-year-old illegal alien Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez asylum from deportation. In the past,
Pelosi also warned America that if Republicans stopped ObamaCare funding for abortion 'women would die on the
floor.' Thus far, not one woman has "died on the floor" because of Republican policy. However,
what has happened is that in Pelosi's very own Democrat-controlled sanctuary city, on a warm summer evening,
a young woman perished on the sidewalk after being shot by an undocumented alien who found refuge under the
wings of Nancy Pelosi-approved lax immigration policy.
Obama,
Pelosi mend fences at fundraiser hosted by billionaire activist Tom Steyer. There's
nothing like a big-money fundraiser for House Democrats to bring President Obama and House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi closer together. Mr. Obama and Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, made a show
of mending fences Friday night [6/19/2015] at a fundraiser at the home of billionaire environmental
activist Tom Steyer overlooking the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. Friday was their first
meeting since Mrs. Pelosi turned against the president last week by leading the opposition that temporarily
derailed crucial trade legislation Mr. Obama is seeking. Despite those tensions, Mr. Obama told more
than 50 wealthy Democratic donors, who paid up to $33,400 each to help Democrats win in 2016, that Mrs.
Pelosi has been instrumental to his achievements in office.
Nancy
Pelosi Peers Into Her Cracked ObamaCare Crystal Ball Again. Nancy Pelosi says Republicans
will "rue the day" if the Supreme Court guts ObamaCare's subsidy scheme. Given her track record on
ObamaCare predictions, that should come as welcome news to the GOP.

What Is the Job of Police, 'to Fight a Guerrilla War'? House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) questioned whether it's the job of law enforcement to conduct "guerrilla warfare"
on city streets, before quickly correcting her word choice.
Three Pinocchios: Pelosi's
perplexing claim that House bill would 'cut' VA medical care funds. The House passed
its first appropriations bill for fiscal year 2016, largely voting along party lines on the Military
Construction and Veterans Affairs bill. House Democrats, Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary
Bob McDonald and some veterans groups opposed the bill, saying it inadequately pays for veterans'
medical needs and construction projects that could help expand their access to care. The White
House has threatened to veto the measure. Prior to the House vote, Pelosi said the bill would
"cut" $1.4 billion below the president's budget. She said it "cuts" $690 million
of it from veterans' medical care, the equivalent of 70,000 fewer veterans receiving medical
care through VA in one year. Are her statements accurate?
Pelosi:
Obamacare, Equal Pay, Amnesty Promote 'Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Speaking at the Department of Labor to mark National Equal Pay Day, Representative Pelosi said,
"The strength of America" is "families, and that means empowering moms and dads. It means what we
did with the Affordable Care Act." "Our founders," she continued, "they said life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness. Imagine, they put that in a founding document: life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. So, all of this with health care and all the related issues, equal pay, all of
that, give people a life, a healthier life to pursue their happiness."
The
5 Most Profound Political Quotes Of The Last 5 Years. [#5] "We have to pass the
bill so you can find out what is in it." Nancy Pelosi's shameful utterance about Obamacare has
become the standard in America over the last few years. Enormous bills are put together in secret;
the public is deliberately misled about what the legislation does; politicians don't even bother to
read what they're voting on and then it takes years for the courts to finish ruling on what the
hundreds of pages of tortured legalisms actually mean. That's no way to run a country and it's no
wonder that both politicians and the law itself are increasingly held in contempt if that's the best
we can do.
Pelosi:
My trip to Syria was nothing like the GOP's Iran letter. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
is pushing back hard against conservative claims that the recent Republican letter to Iranian
leaders, which has infuriated the White House amid delicate nuclear talks, is akin to her 2007 visit
to Syria against the wishes of the Bush administration. The office of the House minority
leader issued a scathing statement Wednesday night [3/11/2015] saying her meeting with Syrian
dictator Bashar Assad was part of a bipartisan effort — conducted through the Bush
administration — to encourage peace in the region, and accusing Republicans of launching
a "desperate" defense of their Iran letter to mask criticisms coming from both sides of the aisle.

and other Democrats meet with Cuban officials in Havana. U.S. Democratic leader Nancy
Pelosi, who is heading an official delegation of Democratic representatives visiting Havana, met
with Cuba's National Assembly vice president Ana María Mari Machado and other Cuban deputies, in the
first dialogue between members of congress and parliament, since diplomatic relations were restored
on Dec. 17. "During the meeting, we exchanged views about the actions taken by President Obama
and President Raúl Castro," Pelosi said in a statement issued Thursday [2/19/2015]. "We agreed
to continue our interparliamentary dialogue on areas of agreement and disagreement."
Nancy
Pelosi: Democrats are fighting for Obama, not illegal immigrants. Senate Democrats'
filibuster of a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security that would block deportation
amnesty is not about the immigration issue but about respecting President Obama, House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday [2/12/2015]. "This is not a question of protecting illegal
people in our country, it's a question of respecting the authority of the president of the United
States," Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, told reporters at her weekly press conference at the Capitol.
Nancy
Pelosi promises big government will deliver big paychecks for middle class. House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that there is a direct connection between increased
federal spending and bigger paychecks for American workers, as she justifies the big-government
agenda at the heart of President Obama's budget. "It's about bigger paychecks," Mrs. Pelosi
said at a forum hosted by the Brookings Institution, a liberal think tank in Washington.
Whistleblower:
Pelosi Covered Up Role In Crisis. We've long suspected the Financial Crisis Inquiry
Commission wasn't honest in examining events before the meltdown. But an ex-commissioner says the
probe was actually a full-blown political cover-up. In a just-released book, former FCIC member
Peter Wallison says that a Democratic Congress worked with the commission's Democratic chairman to
whitewash the government's central role in the mortgage debacle. The conspiracy helped protect
some of the Democrats' biggest stars from scrutiny and accountability while helping justify the biggest
government takeover of the financial sector since the New Deal.
Pelosi
Won't Say if Unborn Baby at 20 Weeks is a 'Human Being'. CNSNews.com asked: "Is an unborn child 20 weeks
into pregnancy a human being?" Pelosi responded: "You know what, what we're talking about on the floor of the
House is something that says politicians should determine what effects the health of a woman, her life, her health, and the
rest. I don't think it's up to politicians to do that. And that's why we are very overwhelmingly opposing what
is going on on the floor of the House."

Obama's Paris No-Show OK Because 'What Happened Had a Spontaneity to It'. House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) excused President Obama's absence from a Paris march on
Sunday because last Wednesday's terrorist attack there was a "spontaneous" event. At a news
conference with her caucus' new policy and communications committee today, Pelosi elaborated a bit
on Obama's meeting with "a chunk of" House and Senate Democratic and Republican leadership. [...]
Pelosi said there was no discussion about Obama's no-show among nearly 50 world leaders who linked
arms in Paris in a show of solidarity against terrorism. "That didn't come up at the meeting,"
she said.
Hey GQ,

Nancy Pelosi: After Republican Rep. Tom Marino gave a speech mentioning that Pelosi had done
nothing on immigration reform when she ruled the House, an enraged Pelosi chased him down two aisles
gesturing wildly and hurling imprecations until a group of fellow lawmakers intervened. Said
"Democrats are not fear mongers but "Civilization as we know it would be in jeopardy if Republicans

Pelosi:
Schumer's ObamaCare remarks 'beyond comprehension'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) says fellow Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer's (N.Y.) recent comments on ObamaCare are
"beyond comprehension." Schumer caused a stir last month when he said Democrats "blew the
opportunity the American people gave them" in 2008 by focusing on healthcare out of the gate instead
of on measures to boost the middle class.
The beginning
of the end for Nancy Pelosi? Pelosi has worked the new system ably. •
She has raised $400 million for her fellow Democrats. She supported campaign chairman Rahm
Emanuel's recruitment of moderates who matched their districts, which gave Democrats a House
majority in 2006. • She saw to the ouster in 2008 of Energy and Commerce
Chairman John Dingell, the longest-serving House member ever, in favor of her fellow Californian,
Henry Waxman. • She rallied House majorities for the stimulus package in
February 2009 and for cap-and-trade (a favorite of Bay Area environmentalists) in June 2009. She
pushed through ObamaCare in March 2010.
Surprise:
Pelosi Most Unpopular Member of Congress. Just when you thought no one could
possibly be worse than Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), you remember there is always Rep. Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.). Fifty-eight percent of likely U.S. voters have an unfavorable opinion of
Pelosi, according to a recent Rasmussen Reports poll. What's more, a whopping 41 percent
have a "very unfavorable" view of the Maryland native.
The Democrats' war on women: Dem
anger flares over pregnant lawmaker. A meeting of House Democrats flared up on Tuesday [11/18/2014]
over the increasingly thorny issue of whether a pregnant member should be allowed to vote from afar in the party's
leadership elections this week. Democratic leaders, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), have denied a
request from Rep. Tammy Duckworth (Ill.), who lost both of her legs in the Iraq War, to waive the Democratic rule
barring proxy votes. Duckworth, 46, is in the last stages of a pregnancy and her doctor won't allow her to
travel back to Washington to vote in person.
Nancy
Pelosi Defends Blocking Pregnant Lawmaker From Proxy Vote. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defended
a caucus decision not to allow pregnant Rep. Tammy Duckworth vote by proxy from her home in Illinois in this week's
closed-door leadership votes. The decision has raised eyebrows and drawn criticism from conservative pundits,
especially since Democrats are such strong supporters of issues like paid family leave.
Democrats lash
out at Nancy Pelosi. The list of grievances — from the election losses, to
routine procedures erupting into nasty fights — has shaken the confidence many Democrats
hold in their leader. So while Pelosi was reelected unanimously by voice vote to the top House
Democratic post on Tuesday [11/18/2014] during a closed-door party meeting — with no audible
disagreement, according to a source in the room — the incoming minority leader is about to be
in the worst position with her caucus since the end of their short-lived majority in 2010.
Confused Elderly Woman Unsure About Which Party
Won Election. Nancy Pelosi thinks the Democrats actually won. When asked about her
vow to win 25 seats back from the Republicans, the elderly lady who has her good moments and her bad
moments becomes confused and confuses "winning 25 seats back" with "winning half of the 25 seats
in play," almost all of which were Democratic seats.
Democrats lash
out at Pelosi. The list of grievances — from the election losses, to
routine procedures erupting into nasty fights — has shaken the confidence many Democrats
hold in their leader. So while Pelosi will be unchallenged for the top House Democratic post on
Tuesday during a closed-door party meeting, the incoming minority leader is about to be in the worst
position with her caucus since the end of their short-lived majority in 2010.
Smug Filled Rooms.
[Scroll down] You see, Gruber's arrogance revealed that the scheme was not only contrary to
the clear language of the statute, but as well to the intent of its authors. He has gravely undercut
the administration's argument to look beyond the language to sustain their expansion of it. While
countless Democrats — including especially Nancy Pelosi — who credited and
relied on Gruber's work now act as if they never heard of him, they can't so easily dispose of him
and his role in the creation of Obamacare .
Gruber Who?
Jonathan Gruber? "I don't know who he is," Nancy Pelosi told reporters on Thursday. To jog the
former speaker's memory: Jonathan Gruber is, of course, the MIT economist widely hailed for his work
as the "architect" of Obamacare. His sudden demotion comes after video surfaced over the weekend of
a 2013 interview with Gruber at the University of Pennsylvania, where he told listeners that a "lack
of transparency" was crucial to passing Obamacare through Congress in 2010, given the "stupidity of
the American voter." Three more videos have followed, all showing Gruber making substantially
similar remarks.
Nancy
Pelosi Walks into the #Grubergate Buzzsaw. Pelosi might as well have waved a red flag
in front of a target as a starting gun went off. Gruber "wasn't writing" the health care bill? No
one said he was, only that he helped walk Democrats through the crafting of the various bills that became the
Affordable Care Act. It only made sense; Gruber, an MIT professor, had played a similar role in Massachusetts
four years earlier. As speaker of the House, Pelosi herself had promoted Gruber's analyses of the ACA, much
as Democrats promoted the work of economist Mark Zandi to prove that their policies had conservative credibility.
The
Strategic Failure of Barack Obama. "A gaffe," Michael Kinsley once said, "is when a
politician tells the truth." Unfortunately for the Obama administration, Jonathan Gruber, an
economist hired to design Obamacare, was fecklessly candid about how the Obama administration
misrepresented their flagship program to the rubes. Nancy Pelosi quickly stepped in to show him
how pros do it by denying she ever met Gruber, though the Washington Post produced
transcripts of the former speaker copiously buttressing her arguments with references to Gruber
Nancy
Pelosi says she doesn't know who Jonathan Gruber is. She touted his work in 2009.
[Scroll down] Pelosi clearly wants to distance herself and Obamacare from Gruber, given Gruber's controversial
comments about "the stupidity of the American voter," and Democrats are going to argue that Gruber
wasn't instrumental in the bill. But, as an architect of the Massachusetts health-care law and a
consultant to the White House on Obamacare, he's been regularly cited by Democrats as an authority
on this issue — including, apparently, by Pelosi.
Despite
Dem claims, trash-talking Gruber was well-paid adviser for ObamaCare and more. After a
string of videos have emerged showing [Jonathan] Gruber gloating about how the law's authors
exploited Americans' "stupidity," the White House has distanced itself. House Democratic Leader
Nancy Pelosi even claimed: "I don't know who he is. He didn't help write our bill." But while
Jonathan Gruber might not have been a familiar name until this week for many, Pelosi and the rest of
the lawmakers who pushed the law certainly knew who he was in 2009 and 2010. A look at the record
shows he was in fact paid to advise the Department of Health and Human Services.
Harry
Reid Praised Gruber On The Senate Floor. Democratic Senate Minority Leader-elect Harry
Reid called Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber "one of the most respected economists in the world"
on the Senate floor during the 2009 push to pass Obamacare. [...] House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy
Pelosi falsely claimed that she did not know who Gruber was, despite having cited him by name multiple times.
Time
for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to go. In politics, there's nothing harder than
realizing that it's time to go. People who have made their careers as Beltway politicians start
to think they've become indispensable to Washington, when in fact it's Washington that has become
indispensable to them. And so they can't or won't recognize when the moment has come to move on to
other things. For Democrats Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, that moment has arrived. With the
Democrats' midterm losses, the two 74-year-olds should announce that when this session of Congress
ends, they will relinquish their roles as leaders of their respective Democratic caucuses.
Pelosi
vows to stay on as leader. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi asked her fellow
Democrats to keep her on as their leader in the new Congress next year, saying she still has
unfinished goals she wants to accomplish. She said the chief message she took from Tuesday's
election, which saw Democrats eviscerated at all levels, is that voter suppression was a problem.
Nancy
Pelosi raises over $100 million. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has raised over
$100 million for Democrats during this election cycle, the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee announced Monday [11/3/2014]. The California Democrat raised $101.3 million for her
party, including $65.2 million raised directly for the DCCC — the campaign party arm for House Democrats.
Government Gold-Plating.
Just consider the following: the Speaker of the House currently receives an annual salary of
$223,500, and will receive a payment of roughly that amount, depending on the years of service, for
life. An annual payment of this magnitude amounts to about five times the average annual wage in the
United States. But that's not all. For those who have had different positions in Congress, their
retirements can be augmented. For example, Nancy Pelosi will not receive $223,500 for life, but
roughly double that. Why? Because she is a member of Congress, currently the House of
Representatives' Minority Leader, and a retired Speaker of the House. For purposes of computing
retirement pay, Congress adds and accumulates. They do not net.
Nancy
Pelosi Chides Reporter For Using Term 'Illegal Aliens'. Reacting to a question from a
reporter about whether President Obama's planned executive actions should also deal with Iraqis
living illegally in the United States, Pelosi corrected the reporter who used the term "illegal
aliens." "Are you referring to undocumented people who are in the United States?" Pelosi
questioned. "Illegal aliens, yes ma'am," the reporter responded. "Undocumented people,
OK," Pelosi said again.
Beware
of False Tears in the Democratic Crying Towel. I like to think Nancy Pelosi was just joking when she said on Jon Stewart's
Daily Show that if Republicans won control of the Senate, it would be "the end of civilization as we know it." But
the power-grabbing progressive from San Francisco is hardly imbued with a subtle, sarcastic wit. So no doubt she meant every word
she crooned to the partisan Stewart audience, as she had a few years earlier when urging her charges in the House to pass the Affordable
Health Care bill in order to know what was in it.
Pelosi
is furious: 'We never treated President Bush the way they treat President Obama'.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said comparing Republican treatment of President Obama to how
Democrats handled President George W. Bush is a false equivalence and that Democrats don't bear
culpability for the comparatively fewer number of bills being passed by Congress and signed into law.
Pelosi's
panic fire: GOP Senate would end 'civilization as we know it'. House Minority Leader
Rep. Nancy Pelosi told "Real Time" host Bill Maher that Democrats are not "fear-mongers" but in the
same breath said civilization is doomed if Republicans manage to take control of the Senate in
November. "It would be very important for the Democrats to retain control of the Senate," the
California Democrat told Mr. Maher on his show Friday night [9/12/2014], which aired live from Washington.
"Civilization as we know it today would be in jeopardy if Republicans win the Senate."
Nancy
Pelosi: Civilization 'In Jeopardy' If GOP Takes Senate. On the one hand, California
U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi claims that Democrats are not "fear-mongers;" on the other hand, she believes
civilization is doomed if Republicans take control of the Senate from Democrats in November. The
former speaker of the House made those dramatic, incongruous statements on "Real Time with Bill Maher,"
which aired live from Washington, D.C. Friday [9/12/2014].
Why
Republicans Should Never Play Nice with Democrats. On Friday [9/12/2014], Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
stated that Democrats had to retain control of the Senate. Why? Because "civilization as we know it today would
be in jeopardy if the Republicans win the Senate." She then claimed that Democrats were not "fear-mongers," but instead
"messengers of hope." TV host Bill Maher listened to this with a straight face.
The End of Civil
Rhetoric. Pelosi's intent in this case, as it often seems to be, is to demonize her political opponents as
enemies of civilization. In other instances she has characterized Republicans as bigots who hate women, gays, immigrants,
children, and old people. [...] When one of the highest ranking members of the Democratic Party is willing to compare her
political opponents to wife beaters, and another is unwilling to distinguish them from murderous enemies who behead our own
citizens, how much more shocking can the rhetoric get? Where else can we possibly go?
Nancy Pelosi the
money juggernaut. Nancy Pelosi is almost single-handedly keeping House Democrats afloat. She has raised
$80 million for her party this cycle and more than $400 million during her dozen years as party leader.
Pelosi's
home city exempted from water restrictions imposed on rural farmers. [Scroll
down] Craig Manson, who heads the Center for Environmental Science, Accuracy and Reliability
(CESAR) in Fresno, said the lawsuit is aimed at addressing the "double standard" that forces farmers
to give up water in the name of species conservation — without requiring Bay Area
residents to do the same. Mr. Manson wants the National Park Service to press the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to end the special exemption from the Endangered Species Act (ESA), but "the Park
Service just won't do it." Why not? Jeffrey Olson, National Park Service spokesman, said the
agency cannot comment on ongoing litigation, but critics point out that San Joaquin Valley farmers
have nowhere near the political clout of San Francisco's political leadership, which includes Mrs.
Pelosi and a good chunk of the state's dominant liberal power structure.
The Rise of Progressive
Oligarchy. In what might have appeared to be a minor political event a few weeks back,
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called congressman Tom Marino (R-PA) "insignificant" and "inconsequential" in a
debate on the House floor. Why would the former House Speaker insult a colleague in such a manner?
She didn't count her way to this assessment; Democrats do not hold a majority of the House. Nor did
she reason her way to this position, as there was nothing in Rep. Marino's argument on the immigration issue
that raised empirical red flags. [...] But what if Pelosi was simply saying what she believed to be true and
acknowledging what ruling class Americans think about their non-ruling class counterparts?
Pelosi
Subsidies Benefit Husband's Investment in Dem Mega-Donor's Company. The top Democrat in the House of
Representatives steered more than a billion dollars in subsidies to a light rail project that benefitted a company
run by a high-dollar Democratic donor and in which her husband is a major investor.
Nancy
Pelosi Spearheads $1B Project Aiding Left-wing Mega Donor Tom Steyer; Networks Ignore.
A new report suggested that liberal billionaire Tom Steyer's hedge fund profited from a $1 billion
San Francisco light rail project pushed by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Steyer was
also a big supporter of Pelosi. Despite being quick to criticize conservative political donors, the
morning and evening news shows on ABC, CBS and NBC have all ignored the allegation since the Washington
Free Beacon broke the story Aug. 12.
Is
Nancy Pelosi About to Break Campaign Fundraising Law? According to Politico, Nancy
Pelosi is holding a meeting in Napa Valley with a number of distressed Democrats. Heavyweights
like Google's Eric Schmidt are also on hand, along with billionaire leftist Tom Steyer. If they were
Republicans, Democrats would accuse Schmidt and Steyer of trying to buy elections. [...] House Majority
PAC's presence is problematic. As a super PAC, the Democrats are legally forbidden from coordinating
with them.
Mission
Bay Maps. Brilliant work by Lachlan Markay at the Washington Free Beacon that
highlights the corruption of D.C. and the ruling elites, especially the hypocrites in the Democrat
Party. I decided to excerpt some key graphs and illustrate just how diabolical these mega-wealthy
oligarchs are, gorging on borrowed money as the federal government sinks into bankruptcy.
Nancy
Pelosi Urges Obama To Enact 'Broadest Possible' Executive Amnesty. On Tuesday
[8/12/2014], House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she wanted President Barack Obama to
enact the "broadest possible" executive amnesty. In an interview on Univision radio, Pelosi hoped
that Obama would give temporary amnesty to the parents of DREAMers and U.S. citizens. Obama is
reportedly considering giving temporary amnesty and work permits to millions of illegal immigrants
via executive fiat during the August recess.
The Editor asks...
What is "temporary amnesty?" Is that like a temporary pardon or temporary parole? There is no such thing.
Pelosi,
too?: Africa a country, she says. One day after Vice President Joseph R. Biden said he
wanted the "nation of Africa" to prosper, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi appears to have deleted
a tweet that called the continent a country.
Rep.
Tom Marino: 'Unhinged' Nancy Pelosi Called Me 'Insignificant' for Fighting Amnesty.
"She was pretty unhinged," Rep. Tom Marino (R-PA) told Breitbart News about House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi in his first print interview since the California Democrat confronted the Republican
lawmaker in a startling altercation on the House floor last week. The incident was so heated that
Marino said the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives had to remove Pelosi —
with help from others — from the floor.
GOP
rep says Pelosi 'visibly shaken' during dust-up on House floor, defends remarks. A Republican
congressman who was confronted on the floor Friday night [8/1/2014] by House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
over his immigration comments told Fox News that the former speaker was "visibly shaken" during the encounter —
but said he's "not going to put up with this." Pelosi lashed out at Rep. Tom Marino, R-Pa., after he
accused Democrats of neglecting the immigration issue when they controlled the White House and Congress
in 2009 and 2010. She could be seen walking over to him and pointing her finger at him — he
later said Pelosi called him "insignificant."
Pelosi
Calls Down the Wrath of Heaven on Conservatives. Friday, from the floor of the House
of Representatives, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi attacked her Republican colleagues for their
push of passage of two bills to deal with the ongoing crisis at the U.S. southern border. Pelosi
invoked a letter from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops lobbying against the GOP efforts and
urged her Republicans to read the the Parable of the Good Samaritan from the New Testament of the Bible.
When
Nancy Pelosi Gets Owned on the House Floor, She Reacts in Unbelievable Way. Normally,
the Congressional votes are about as exciting as watching paint dry on growing grass, but when House
Representative Tom Marino accused the Democrats of not being brave enough to pass immigration reform
when they controlled the Congress, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi jumped up and came at
the guy!
Pelosi
Chases Republican Tom Marino Across House Chamber. In an unusual breach of decorum,
even for the divided Congress, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi chased Rep. Tom Marino across the
House floor, taking offense at comments by the Pennsylvania Republican during debate on the border
funding bill Friday night [8/1/2014].
Nancy
Pelosi: 'We Cannot Have Deportation without Representation'. During a hearing with
House Democrats on Tuesday [7/29/2014], House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi argued that the bill
proposed by Republicans did not have the adequate resources to help unattended minors crossing the
border with the immigration court process. The bill, announced by Republicans on Tuesday, would
spend $659 million in new spending in response to the crisis on the border.
Nancy
Pelosi on International Crises: "The President's Leadership Has Been Strong". ["]First
of all let me disagree with the — when we were growing up, you after me, but we were in a bipolar
word, the Soviet Union and the United States. It's a much more complicated situation now and the president's
leadership has been strong. And the issues you are dealing with this morning, the president was in the lead
on supporting Iron Dome and asking for more resources now to help Israel defend itself, which it has as right to do.["]
Nancy
Pelosi: Moses Was a Refugee Too, Just Like Baby Jesus. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi doubled down on her comments that Americans should view the flood of children crossing the
border while claiming refugee status just like baby Jesus. Pelosi reminded reporters that it was
the National Conference of Catholic Bishops that used the baby Jesus analogy. She then suggested
that if Moses hadn't have been accepted by the Egyptians, then there wouldn't be the Ten Commandments.
The Editor says...
Nothing is more useless than a sermon about the meaning of the Bible delivered by one of the leaders
of the Abortion Party.
Moses:
The Unaccompanied Minor And the Ten Plagues. [House Minority] Leader Pelosi probably
views Moses in the Nile as similar to Central Americans being ferried across the Rio Grande by human
smugglers. That's why, to support the refugee argument, the minority leader said, "What would we do
if Moses had not been accepted by the pharaoh's family? We wouldn't have the Ten Commandments, for
starters." So, according to Nancy, if the Egyptians hadn't fished baby Moses out of the Nile the
world would never have had the Ten Commandments, one of which is "Thou Shalt Not Kill," a decree
neither Mrs. Pelosi nor any of her cohorts consider when butchering unborn babies.
The Editor says...
Ms. Pelosi's understanding of the Bible is so poor that she appears to give credit to Moses as the
author of the Ten Commandments.
Liberals
and 'the least of these'. Nancy Pelosi went so far as to lecture us that "every person has
a spark of divinity in them, and is therefore worthy of respect — what we saw in those rooms
was [a] dazzling, sparkling, array of God's children, worthy of respect." It is no surprise that
the left in America would stoop to using children as pawns in their never-ending quest for political
supremacy. When you are willing to take positions that call for the killing of the most vulnerable
among us — those in the womb — are there any depths to which one wouldn't sink?
Megyn
Kelly Reacts to Pelosi's Office Saying She "Misspoke" About Hobby Lobby Ruling. Thursday night [7/10/2014] on
The Kelly File, Megyn took on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's comments that the Supreme Court's ruling on Hobby Lobby
is "frightening" because it was decided by five men. Megyn said in reaction, "If Speaker John Boehner made a similar
comment about the female Supreme Court justices, Nancy Pelosi would be crying sexism — and that's what she is guilty of
here." Today [7/11/2014], PolitiFact looked into Pelosi's comments and rated it false. When the fact-checking
site called her office, they said Pelosi "misspoke."
Pelosi:
Dems Could Have Impeached Bush But Didn't For Good Of Country. Pelosi accused Bush of
being guilty of impeachable offense saying he "sent us into a war based on a false representation of
the treat of weapons of mass destruction." [...] Pelosi added that "was not something I wanted to
put the country through" although she said the case against Bush sending us into war under a "false
premise" was far more serious then anything Clinton had done.
Pelosi
on the Border: We Have to Use This 'Crisis' as an 'Opportunity'. Saturday at a press
conference from the Rio Grande Valley, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) discussed her tour of a border
holding facility and addressed the humanitarian crisis of thousands unaccompanied minors flooding
across the U.S.-Mexico border, which she called a "humanitarian opportunity."
Pelosi
Visits the Border: 'Dazzling, Sparkling Array of God's Children'. Despite appalling conditions in the holding pens
and warehouses that are now full of Central American children, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said she was "dazzled" by what
she saw at the U.S.-Mexico border on Saturday [6/28/2014]: "What we just saw was so stunning, if you believe as we do, that
every child, every person, has the park [sic] of divinity in them, and is therefore worthy of respect, what we saw in those rooms
was (a) dazzling, sparkling array of God's children, worthy of respect."
The Editor says...
Ms. Pelosi does not hold the same view of children who have yet to see the light of day.
Pelosi:
We Are All Americans Now! Nancy Pelosi has no intention of housing thousands of
Central American immigrants, legal or illegal, in any of her several neighborhoods. The
consequences of importing tens of millions of new unskilled immigrants to drive down wages and
devastate the American working class will be dire, but they won't be felt by the likes of Paul
and Nancy Pelosi.
Archbishop
Cordileone Responds to Nancy Pelosi's Assault on March for Marriage. House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi (D) joined other California politicians and leading gay rights advocates in
harshly criticizing San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone for participating in the March
for Marriage in Washington, D.C., on June 19th. As SFGate reports, in a letter to Cordileone,
Pelosi, a self-proclaimed Catholic who supports abortion on demand and same-sex marriage — both of
which are against the teachings of the Catholic Church — described the March for Marriage event as
"venom masquerading as virtue" and said the participants show "disdain and hate towards LGBT persons."
Pelosi
pulls rank, pressures Catholic archbishop to skip traditional marriage march. House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, urging
him to cancel his appearance at a march for traditional marriage on the Supreme Court this
Thursday. The National Organization for Marriage plans to march on the Supreme Court in
Washington, and Mr. Cordileone is one of the featured speakers, the San Francisco Chronicle
reported. "We share our love of the Catholic faith and our city of San Francisco," Mrs. Pelosi
reportedly wrote to Mr. Cordileone, urging him to abandon an event in which some of the
participants, she said, show "disdain and hate towards LGBT persons."
The Editor says...
This is exactly what the separation of church and state is supposed to prevent: Ms. Pelosi is
trying to tell Catholic leaders how to practice their religion.
Nancy
Pelosi: Iraq Is Not Our Responsibility. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke
about the wave of violence hitting Iraq from Islamic militants, asserting that the United States
does not have a responsibility to assist the country with military action. "I don't think this is
our responsibility, but I do think we were irresponsible for going into Iraq for a variety of other
reasons," she told reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday. Pelosi called the violence "troubling"
but asserted that there was no American appetite for further military action in the country.
Nancy
Pelosi flustered by teen's NSA query, blames Bush administration. An obviously
flustered House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tried to field a teenager's blunt question about the
National Security Agency — but ultimately wrapped by tossing some of blame for the
recent intelligence spy scandals back on the George W. Bush administration. During a recent
meeting with a group of teens, Mrs. Pelosi was asked by Andrew Demeter, who identifies as an
investigative journalist with the TeenTake YouTube channel: "Why do you support the
NSA's illegal and ubiquitous data collection?"
The
Hidden Cost Chickens in Obamacare Coming Home to Roost. Labor unions have been reliable supporters of
President Obama and his policies. Their support for Obamacare was critical to its passage in 2010. Yet
they are continuing to learn that their members will be paying more for their healthcare, not less. One of the
selling points of Obamacare was the lowering of health insurance costs. Nancy Pelosi promised, "Everybody will
have lower rates." President Obama was more specific, telling us that his signature program would "Bring down
premiums by $2,500 for the typical family." A year later, however, Mrs. Pelosi, in the face of rising premiums
for many, forgot her promise of the previous year, "I don't remember saying that everybody in the country would have
a lower premium."
Nancy
Pelosi uncertain deaths of veterans at VA qualifies as a scandal. So far, some 23 veterans
are known to have died as a result of long wait times for treatment by the Veterans Administration.
Other deaths are believed to have been caused by long wait times, but the connection between those deaths and
secret waiting lists have not been officially made. [...] Nevertheless, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
dismissed those concerns in an interview with Ezra Klein. "I think anytime our men and women in uniform
are not served in the manner which they deserve could perhaps call it a scandal," she said.
Nancy
Pelosi: VA Is A Scandal, Just Maybe Not A Scandal-Scandal. House Minority leader
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told Vox.com's Ezra Klein that she wasn't sure the Veterans Health
Administration (VA) scandal was an actual, you know scandal. Asked by Klein for her thoughts on
the VA scandal, Pelosi said (audible pauses left in), "Well, it, I .. think any time that our,
our men and women in uniform are not served in the manner at which they deserve, you could perhaps
call it a scandal, because it's scandalous that they're not. Whether it is a scandal with intention
and the rest of that, uh, the evidence remains to be seen. But the fact is uh, that uh, that eh,
they haven't been served worth of their sacrifice or their, uh, role in our country."
Pelosi
Calls Obamacare 'Beautiful', Admits She's One Of 'Biggest Fundraisers' In Country. U.S. House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke about a variety of issues in an interview aired Monday [5/26/2014], calling
Obamacare "beautiful", characterizing Republicans as being a "triple threat," and bragging that she's one of
Washington's "biggest fundraisers."
Nancy
Pelosi blames George W. Bush for Veterans Affairs scandal. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., repeatedly put
the blame for the Veterans Affairs scandal on former President George W. Bush, while arguing that her party has worked hard for
veterans in recent years. Pelosi took a shot at Bush while saying that the scandal is a high priority for Obama.[...] The
Democratic leader never mentioned Bush by name, but she alluded to him early and often in the press briefing.
Sounds like
a community organizer. Pelosi's
message to grads: Be disruptors. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
encouraged graduates of the University of California Berkeley to be disruptors, using their
knowledge and technology to shake up the economic system. "Being called a disruptor is a high
compliment," Pelosi said in prepared remarks Saturday. "You here at Berkeley are already disruptors
in many ways." Pelosi's speech came nearly 50 years after students led by Mario Savio occupied a
Berkeley building and launched the "free speech movement," which sought to lift university bans on
political activities.
Poll:
Pelosi Highest Negative Rating of Congressional Leaders — 49% 'Unfavorable'.
Although all four top leaders in the House and the Senate are viewed more negatively than positively by
Americans, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was viewed the worst with a 49% "unfavorable"
rating, according to a new Gallup survey. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) came in second
with a 45% "unfavorable" rank.
Pelosi
on Illegals: 'We Cannot Prohibit a Path to Citizenship'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) said today that the United States, as a country, "cannot prohibit a pathway to citizenship" for
illegal aliens. [...] "I don't think we as a country want to be a country that says, 'You can do our work,
but you can't have the rights of a citizen in our country,'" said Pelosi. "It's more about who we are
as a nation."
The mother of all non-sequiturs: Nancy
Pelosi to GOP: Honor Cinco de Mayo by Passing Amnesty. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
said House Republicans on Cinco de Mayo should be as courageous as the Mexican militia that defeated the French
army in the Battle of Puebla to pass amnesty legislation.
The Editor says...
Oh, yeah. We owe it to Cinco de Mayo, after all. Just like we owe it to Kwanzaa to elect only black
presidents from now on.
Pelosi
says she 'couldn't care less' about Benghazi criticism. House minority leader Nancy
Pelosi said in an interview broadcast Sunday that criticism by conservative lawmakers against
herself and the Obama administration only demonstrates that they are suffering from a "poverty of
ideas." [...] "It means nothing to me," she said. "I consider the source and I consider
them to be stuck in a poverty of ideas. They have none, and that's where they had to go."
UC
Berkeley students told to pay up for cost of graduation ceremony featuring Nancy Pelosi. Students who
graduate from the University of California-Berkeley can expect to spend roughly $120,000 for a four-year degree.
This year, they still must pay an extra $10 to attend their own graduation ceremony, where they will also listen to
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Students who do not cough up the cash before Wednesday, April 30 for the
campus-wide commencement ceremony have been told they will not be able to attend on May 17 at California Memorial Stadium.
Democrats' revolting equal-pay demagoguery. Since President John F.
Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963, it has been illegal for employers to pay women less than men for the same work.
Of course, that wasn't the end of the legislative story.
White
House's phony wage gap figures spur a backlash. I'm betting the White House staffer who thought up the equal
pay initiative is getting some fairly icy looks and snippy calls from Democrats. This has to be the worst idea since
a staffer sent Air Force One's backup plane to fly low over Manhattan. But at least the jet didn't cause grief to
fellow Democrats around the country. Day 2 of the president's equal pay calamity continued today.
Pelosi: Immigration law
like internment of Japanese. The deportation of foreigners living illegally in the United States is similar to
the forced internment of ethnic-Japanese Americans in World War II, according to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. "I'll
be very honest with you: Looking at the numbers at some point, in terms of how people are treated and deported and
families separated and the rest, this has a scent of Japanese internment," Pelosi told a Politico reporter. "It's really
a black mark," said Pelosi. Roughly 110,000 ethnic-Japanese immigrants and their American children were detained during
World War II after Japan's sneak attack on Americans in Pearl Harbor.
The Editor says...
It's amusing to hear a politician like Nancy Pelosi begin a sentence with "I'll be very honest with you."
Perhaps she should refrain from using the Japanese roundup as an illustration. Who was the President when
the Japanese were locked up? That's right, another Democrat.
Has
Nancy Pelosi stepped in it again? She may have done some real damage. President Obama still
has a little less than 3 years and now she's saying he now owns the rest of his term.
A
Catastrophe Like No Other. Support it or not, you cannot look at ObamaCare and call
it anything but a huge, historic mess. It is also utterly unique in the annals of American
lawmaking and government administration. Its biggest proponent in Congress, the Democratic
speaker of the House, literally said — blithely, mindlessly, but in a way forthcomingly —
that we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it. It is a cliché to note this.
But really, Nancy Pelosi's statement was a historic admission that she was fighting hard for something
she herself didn't understand, but she had every confidence regulators and bureaucratic interpreters
would tell her in time what she'd done. This is how we make laws now.
George
Washington wanted Obamacare, Pelosi says. Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi emerged into the
sunlight April 1 to applaud a rush of sign-ups for Obamacare, and immediately described it as the long-sought
goal of Gen. George Washington and the nation's Founding Fathers in 1787. "It is really so heart warming
for those of us who worked so hard [to make sure] many more people in our country would have access to
healthcare," she told reporters at the stakeout position just outside the West Wing portico.
Pelosi
won't run on Obamacare: 'While we're proud of the Affordable Care Act, we now pivot to jobs'.
Pelosi appeared in front of the White House to extoll the expected 7 million Obamacare sign-ups the
administration reached before the quasi-deadline on March 31. But when a reporter asked the
California congresswoman whether this represented "vindication" and a "turning of the tide" on the unpopular
law, she stopped short of declaring Obamacare a winning issue. "Well let me just say, those of us who
fought for this knew what we believed in and really don't think we needed any vindication," she responded.
Pelosi:
Don't Measure ACA by How Many Uninsured Get Insurance. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says
Democrats passed their health insurance law, not to insure the uninsured, but to give people "quality" health care and
"affordable" health care. "Madam Leader, isn't the real measure of success, not the raw number who signed up,
but how many of those who signed up were not insured before?" a reporter asked Pelosi at a news conference on
Tuesday. "No, that's not — the measure is twofold," Pelosi responded. "The message
is how many people have access to health care — quality, affordable health care and insurance."
Bridge(gat)ing
the Democrats' Culture of Corruption. This week the indictment and arrests of leading San Francisco
and California Democrat politicians follows a long string of corruption cases involving prominent Democrats. It
brings to mind the ridiculous charges by Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (echoing Howard Dean) that the Republicans were
responsible for a "culture of corruption" and that she, a woman, was going to sweep the Congress clean of it.
Pelosi
Getting Award Named for Woman Who Called Children 'Human Weeds'. Planned Parenthood on
Thursday will give House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) its Margaret Sanger Award, named for
a woman who advocated eugenics and who described some children as "human weeds," while arguing that to
grow a "beautiful garden of children," you "have got to fight weeds." In that same speech from
1925, Sanger explained that parenthood should be legal only under certain conditions: a minimum age
for parents of 23 years, a "space out between births," "economic circumstances adequate," and
"spiritual harmony between parents."
[Senator]
Pelosi [is] Getting [an] Award Named for [a] Woman Who Said [it is] 'Most Merciful' to Kill [an] 'Infant'. Planned
Parenthood on Thursday will give House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) its Margaret Sanger Award, named for a woman who
advocated eugenics and who wrote that large families would be doing what was "most merciful" if they killed one of their infants.
"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it," wrote Sanger. Planned
Parenthood is giving Pelosi, a Catholic, its Margaret Sanger Award because of her "leadership, excellence, and outstanding
contributions to the reproductive health and rights movement over the course of her career."
The Editor says...
By now, Margaret Sanger's errors have been made abundantly clear to her.
Why Did Nancy Pelosi Accept an Award Named After Sanger?
Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi [...] has accepted an award named for Margaret Sanger. And Margaret Sanger was
definitely a racist monster who advocated murdering live children for the sake of eliminating "undesirables."
A Whole Lotta Democratic Corruption
Going On. Has Nancy Pelosi seen a newspaper lately? (Pro tip, hon: Like the Obamacare
monstrosity, you have to read it to find out what's in it.) I'd love to see her face in the wake of
the veritable epidemic of Democratic corruption now sweeping the country. Pelosi's blink count must
be off the charts. I'm going to make it easy on Pelosi and put all of the latest cases in one handy
rogue's gallery reference list.
Pelosi
to Receive Planned Parenthood Award Honoring Eugenicist. Next week, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America
will present House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with the Margaret Sanger Award. The award is the group's "highest
honor" and is named for a woman who believed in breeding better humans through eugenics. Planned Parenthood is
the nation's leading abortion provider, having performed 327,166 of the procedures in 2012, according to its latest
annual report. Pelosi, a Catholic, will receive the Margaret Sanger Award at the PPFA's annual gala in Washington,
D.C. on Mar. 27.
Obama:
Nancy Pelosi 'will go down in history as one of the greatest speakers'. President Obama took the
opportunity to flatter House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi during a fundraiser Thursday for House Democrats at
the Florida home of former NBA star Alonzo Mourning. Obama said the California Democrat "will go down in
history as one of the greatest speakers in our history" and indicated that he was eager to return her to her
former position as Speaker of the House.
Pelosi: Health
law is a 'winner' for Democrats. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the health care law is a "winner,"
when asked whether it's a winning or losing issue for Democrats in swing districts this year. [...] Pelosi also emphasized
that health law's name, the Affordable Care Act, is important because it describes what the law will do: lower costs.
She said opponents started using "Obamacare" because they "wanted to get away from the word 'affordable,'" she added.
She said she's made that point to President Barack Obama, who has himself used the term "Obamacare" at times.
Nancy Pelosi is
certain: Obama is most 'non-partisan' president. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that
President Obama is the least partisan president she has worked with during her extensive time in Washington, and said
the problem lies with the GOP. "This is as non-partisan a president as I've ever served with," the California
Democrat said at her weekly press briefing.
Nancy
Pelosi Annoyed That People Won't Stop Calling Affordable Care Act 'Obamacare'. In response to a reporter asking a
question about Obamacare being a political winner or loser, Pelosi said, "By the way, it's called the Affordable Care Act.
It's called the Affordable Care Act. I know you didn't intend any compliment or derogatory — it's called the
Affordable Care Act." She said she would gladly tell Obama the same thing, and continued to repeat herself to hammer the
point home. "There's a reason. Affordable. Affordable. Affordable. Affordable. Affordable.
The reason they change the name of it is because they want to get away — the opponents — from the
word 'affordable.'"
Pelosi
Laughably Claims Democrats Are The Jobs Party. Former House Speaker Pelosi supposedly had been celebrating the
fourth anniversary of the enactment of ObamaCare last week. [...] "We just couldn't be prouder," she said of the health
reform that has been separating Americans from their preferred doctors, their health plans and lots more of their money in
taxes and higher premiums. But when a reporter asked if ObamaCare is "a political liability for your party" in an
election year, Pelosi gave a jaw-dropping reply: "We're not running on this," she claimed. "We're running
on what the American people want us to run on, and that is job creation." Then, as if her party had nothing to do
with the economic policies of the last five years that have given the country the worst economic "recovery" of the modern
era, Pelosi added: "Show us the jobs. Where are the jobs?" She then asked, as if incredulous, "Why are
we not here passing a jobs agenda?" Excuse us, Congresswoman, but we did pass a "jobs agenda." Your jobs agenda.
Failing
Liberals Turn To Oppression To Hold On To Power. If you're a conservative, you don't need to silence the opposition. In fact, we
conservatives want liberals to talk, to make buffoons of themselves, to prove their folly. We want liberals to expound upon their ridiculous
ideas, to show the world exactly what they're about. Nancy Pelosi? Give that tiresome woman a microphone. Chatty liberals are the best
advertisement for conservatism.
Pelosi:
the Founding Fathers Would Totally Support Obamacare. America's Founding Fathers fiercely held to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness — values which Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) claimed align seamlessly with Obamacare. Pelosi explained why the law is "very sound
policy" during a press conference Friday: [Pelosi quote omitted for brevity.] This argument should be added to the montage of lies being
promulgated by the Obama administration.
The Editor says...
The Founding Fathers would never have allowed women to run for Congress — or even vote. Thus the Founding Fathers made no provision
for people like Nancy Pelosi to have political power. I'm a little surprised how proudly (and falsely) she attributes ideas to the Founding Fathers.
Priests for Life African American leader blasts Nancy
Pelosi for pro-choice stance. Dr. Alveda King, director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life, based in New Dorp, blasted
pro-choice House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who is slated to receive the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood. Ironically, the
first recipient of the award, named after a founder of Planned Parenthood, was none other than Dr. King's uncle, the civil rights leader Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Pelosi Deserves Her Planned Parenthood
Award. It's true that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi deserves Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Award — almost no one
has done more to promote the killing of innocent babies in the womb than she has. If Mrs. Pelosi wants finally to take her role as a public
servant seriously, though, she will reject the award named after a racist woman who had no problem speaking to a Ku Klux Klan meeting.
Electing Nancy Pelosi
to find out what's in her head. Thursday night House Minority Leader and former Speaker of the House Rep Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal)
who represents a district that believes we have to be against income inequality and the one per cent even though our income is unequal
because we are part of the one per cent, helped comedian Jon Stewart establish his bi partisan cred. Appearing
on his show, even he laughed at her — not with her — when she repeatedly answered "I don't know" and "It's not my responsibility"
to such simple questions as to why the Obamacare website failed.
Pelosi: I Don't
Know If Any of My Staffers Have Gone On to Work for Federal Contractors. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) seemed unaware that
several of her former staffers have gone on to lobby for big corporations Thursday on The Daily Show. [...] A brief search of Pelosi's
revolving door records on Open Secrets reveals 28 records of current and former staffers who have gone through the "revolving door"
between Congress, lobbying firms and the private sector.
Will Nancy Pelosi Be the Next to
Retire? With Rep. Henry Waxman's retirement announcement, many of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's top lieutenants are
abandoning ship. Waxman joins his California colleague, Rep. George Miller, and Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia as close Pelosi allies to
retire after this Congress. And after last year's 2012 elections, Pelosi's leading in-house strategist Jen Crider left her office, later
announcing she was working for Microsoft. Their decisions are as strong a signal as any that veteran House Democrats hold little hope of
taking the House in 2014, and they probably are pessimistic about their long-term prospects for a congressional majority.
Pelosi
to Reporter: Um, Don't Call it "Obamacare". Names have connotations, so perhaps that's why Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) corrected
a reporter Thursday [1/9/2014] for referring to the Affordable Care Act as "Obamacare."
Pelosi: Obamacare will be 'glorious'.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Monday [12/23/2013] defended Obamacare amid fellow Democrats' concerns, saying that while the politics may be
tricky right now, eventually having voted for the health care law will be a boon. "We'll ride this out," the California Democrat said on a
conference call with reporters.
A Government of Laws? The ObamaCare Rot.
Nancy Pelosi is off the hook. Her famous comment that we had to pass ObamaCare to find out what was in it will live on as a shining example of
legislative malfeasance and irresponsible governance, of course, but it's no longer operative. The reason her remark resonated was because it was
true: even the members of Congress who voted for the law seemed to have no idea what much of it said, and therefore they and the public they misled
had to find out the hard way. The reason she is off the hook, however, is that President Obama has now made it clear that it is scarcely relevant
what the law says anyway.
Pelosi calls for Obama to halt
deportations. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi privately has urged the Obama administration to halt deportations for some illegal
immigrants, saying that President Obama needs to use more "discretion" to reduce the number of people he's kicking out of the country. In an
interview with Telemundo over the weekend, Mrs. Pelosi said that just being in the country illegally is not enough of a reason to be deported, and
she said illegal immigrants must have something more serious on their records.
The Editor says...
Analogy: Just breaking into Ms. Pelosi's house should be no reason to call the police, unless she has evidence of some other crime as well.
Why does the US-Mexico border exist, if there is to be no enforcement of it?
Pelosi: GOP Failure to Extend
Unemployment Benefits Practically 'Immoral'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says the Republican refusal to include unemployment
benefits in the Ryan-Murray budget deal is immoral. "It's interesting to note that they rejected unemployment insurance — this is so unconscionable,
it's practically at the level of immoral to do. The people who work hard, play by the rules, lose their job through no fault of their own, are not
able to get — continue to get an unemployment insurance check."
Morality, Anti-Morality, and Socialism.
During the ObamaCare enslavement, Speaker Pelosi made a statement of utmost dopiness, which captures the essence of humanist anti-morality. She
said to the effect that if young people had government healthcare they would be freed to be artists and musicians. It expresses the delusion that
self-actualization means being an artist, and implicitly denigrates most work and the virtue of diligence. If everyone is to be a government-supported
artist, who is left to make things, to raise children, to pay the bills?
Nancy Pelosi Was a Stay-at-Home
Mom, Then She "Got a Life". During Politico's "Women Rule" event this morning, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi joined her daughter
Alexandra on stage to discuss her former duties as a full-time mom and eventual road to Congress. Alexandra shared how her mom used to lead carpools,
cook and clean all day and even win prizes for her cake baking. Being defined as domestic clearly made the powerful Minority Leader a bit squeamish.
The Party of Big Lies. The
"big picture" Nancy speaks of was ramming a draconian and expensive government-run health care system down the throats of the
American people by any means necessary. The instrument of this particular coup d'état was not a military
faction seizing power on behalf of its fearless leader, merely a big lie. The lie was the ammunition. Soft-headed
Americans were the weapons. They elected the liar in the White House twice. And here is the point: Obama
and Pelosi lie so easily because for them there is but one objective truth — power.
Pelosi Breaks with Reality:
Dems 'United' on Obamacare, 'Couldn't be More Thrilled'. While many Democrats, in an effort to save themselves, have jumped from
the Obamacare ship and acknowledged the very-real shortcomings and disastrous effects the law is already having on the American people, Rep.
Pelosi remains tone deaf and refuses to acknowledge the realities that remain so obvious to millions of Americans.
House Democratic leaders won't apologize for
Obamacare promise. "There's nothing in the Affordable Care Act that says that your insurance company should cancel you," [Nancy Pelosi]
told reporters. "That's not what the Affordable Care Act is about. It simply didn't happen." She continued that she did not make a
similar statement to her constituents, noting that she "would have if I ever met anybody that liked his or her plan, but that was not my experience."
Nancy
Pelosi Shocked at Obamacare Outrage: I've Never Met Anyone Who Liked Their Insurance Plan. Democrats are terrified, but Pelosi, an
old pro, never wants to let them see her sweat. To that end, during a press conference with her fellow Democratic leaders on Friday, Pelosi
attempted to convince the media that there is very little outrage being directed at the Democrats to begin with.
The Editor says...
Ms. Pelosi is a California leftist. Thus she has probably never met anybody who goes to church on Sundays, or anybody who has shot
a deer, or anybody who can live their lives without help from the government for years at a time.
House Democratic Leaders:
We Will Not Apologize to Americans Losing Their Health Insurance. Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, the top four House
Democrats — Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Assistant Leader James Clyburn, Whip Steny Hoyer and House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier
Becerra — were asked if they would apologize to any constituents who felt misled by Democrats. Each declined.
Baltimore's
gay community to name Pelosi a 'Hometown Hero'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a Baltimore native, will next month receive a "lifetime
achievement award for her longtime dedication to LGBT rights and her work to fight HIV/AIDS in Congress," gay leaders in Baltimore said Friday [10/25/2013].
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Baltimore is giving Pelosi the award at its inaugural "Hometown Hero Awards & Champagne Brunch" on
Nov. 17 in Baltimore, an event it expects some 500 people to attend.
Nancy Pelosi: Republican 'sabotage'
hindering health care law. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi believes the new health care law should move forward without delay and said that
"sabotage" by Republicans, and not just computer glitches, is hindering implementation. Pelosi said the offices of some Republican lawmakers "are not
giving information to constituents for how they can avail themselves" of the new program. Republicans are withholding the information, Pelosi said, "to
undermine the Affordable Care Act." Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the GOP had nothing to do with the troubled rollout.
Pelosi on pork project: 'What
difference does it make?' House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi Thursday [10/17/2013] said she can't answer for why pork-barrel items
snuck into the debt and spending bill that passed Congress late Thursday, but said the press should stop focusing on that and instead look at the
broader debt fight.
'What difference does
it make?' Pelosi says of extra spending in shutdown deal. Americans shouldn't think much about the various appropriations in the bill to reopen
government, according to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., even though she wished the spending measures weren't in the bill. "This was
consistent with what would be in a continuing resolution," Pelosi told reporters when asked about extra measures such as a death benefit for the widow of the
late Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and earmarked spending for a Kentucky dam.
Shocking!
CBS Hounds Pelosi Over Shutdown: 'You've Called Them Arsonists'. CBS This Morning has a long established history of conducting
softball interviews of liberal/Democratic guests, while unleashing on conservative/liberal ones. But on Friday [10/4/2013], the morning newscast
surprisingly hounded Rep. Nancy Pelosi on the ongoing government shutdown.
Bankrupt ideas lead to bankrupt governments.
There is nothing left to cut," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi last week when referring to the federal budget. Again, she displayed a complete
disconnect with reality — a disconnect reinforced by all those other fantasyland souls who make her their leader. [...] [F]ederal spending is at
record levels in nominal terms and near the all-time high as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), except during World War II.
Pelosi: Obama can raise debt limit on his own (an
impeachable offense). Nancy Pelosi wants you to think debating the debt limit is dumb. From what she knows of the Constitution,
Obama can raise the debt limit on his own. [...] Public debt has to be authorized by law, and only Congress can pass laws. Not complicated.
But, apparently, too complicated for Pelosi.
Vatican
official: Pelosi should be denied communion for 'grave sin' on abortion. A Vatican official in Rome says House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, should be denied Communion because she supports abortion rights. "This is a person who obstinately,
after repeated admonitions, persists in a grave sin — cooperating with the crime of procured abortion," Raymond Cardinal Leo Burke
said in an interview with Catholic publication The Wanderer.
Nancy Pelosi
Confuses Constitution With Declaration of Independence. Speaking last Wednesday [9/18/2013] at the Center for American
Progress (CAP), Democratic Leader of the House Nancy Pelosi became a little confused at one point, stumbling over her words and flipping
through her notes while referencing one of the founding documents of the United States.
No communion for Nancy Pelosi:
Vatican court head. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has no Catholic right to be granted Communion, said the leading cardinal
of the highest court at the Vatican. Mrs. Pelosi should be denied Communion until she changes her advocacy views on abortion, Cardinal
Raymond Leo Burke said, according to the Western Center for Journalism. That's canon law, not opinion, he said. Canon 915
states that Catholics who are stubbornly contrary "in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion." And Cardinal Burke
said Mrs. Pelosi fits the definition.
Vatican Chief
Justice: Nancy Pelosi Must Be Denied Communion. Because of her longstanding support for abortion, House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, must be denied Communion under the law of the Catholic Church, said Cardinal Raymond Burke, head of the highest
court at the Vatican. Cardinal Burke referenced his remarks about Pelosi to Canon Law — the law governing the Catholic
Church — and specifically Canon 915, which says those Catholics who obstinately persevere "in manifest grave sin are not
to be admitted to Holy Communion."
Pelosi: Let's face
it, Republicans hate Obama because he's eloquent and "nonpartisan". The perfect companion vid to Jay Cost's analysis this morning of how
unusually, relentlessly partisan The One's rhetoric has been as president, especially in his weekly YouTube messages. Oh, and also to Politico's
round-up of Democrats wondering why someone who's so often touted as a brilliantly eloquent orator can't seem to sell the public on anything except his
own personal awesomeness.
Pelosi: GOP just doesn't like Obama.
Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the U.S. House, seems to believe that Republicans don't like President Obama because they're jealous. "You know why
it is," Pelosi told Politico in an interview. "He's brilliant ... He thinks in a strategic way in how to get something done ... and he's completely
eloquent. That's a package that they don't like." Republicans also don't like what Pelosi called the president's non-partisanship. Obama
has been "open, practically apolitical, certainly non-partisan, in terms of welcoming every idea and solution," Pelosi told Politico[.]
Nancy Pelosi unplugged. Striking a tone
of disgust, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi ridicules the GOP as obsessed with its loathing of President Obama and hell-bent on hurting him politically,
regardless the cost. She assigns little to no blame to the president (even though Democrats privately say that's laughable) and instead portrays him as
saintly, above reproach and the victim of jealousy or something worse. After 26 years in the House, she says, "I haven't seen anything like it.
I haven't seen anything like it."
Creative Destruction. Nancy Pelosi waxed rhapsodic in 2010 as
she imagined the benefits of Obamacare: "Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping
their day job in order to have health insurance." Well, that was the economy we used to have. But as Obamacare begins to kick in, artists,
photographers, writers, and other members of the "creative class" who have access to health insurance programs through numerous professional organizations
will lose that coverage.
Pelosi Signs
Letter Urging CA Gov. to Make State Sanctuary for Illegal Immigrants. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) signed a letter urging
California Governor Jerry Brown (D) to sign into law a bill that would make the state a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants who have not committed
felonies or "serious" crimes. Pelosi joined 27 other California House Democrats in signing the letter.
The Editor says...
Who defines the limits of "serious" crimes?
Bad Lies. In June, Congressperson Nancy Pelosi described
abortion as "sacred ground" to a Catholic. [...] With Pelosi, it is often more obvious that incompetence and dishonesty are not mutually
exclusive. Everyone knows that the Catholic Church condemns abortion as a grave evil and that it advocates for the right to life "from
conception to natural death." It is the least ambiguously held position in the public square. Also well understood is that
Catholicism comes in only one version. There is no Pelosi Catholicism [...]
Nancy Pelosi, Creep Enabler. The most powerful female
Democrat on Capitol Hill has turned her back on women. Again. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, entrenched 13-term incumbent, refuses
to say whether creepster San Diego Mayor Bob Filner should resign amid an avalanche of longstanding sexual harassment allegations, staff resignations
and now a lawsuit. "What goes on in San Diego is up to the people of San Diego. I'm not here to make any judgments," declared the
very same feminist crusader who has spearheaded unabashedly judgmental nationwide attacks on the so-called "Republican War on Women."
Pelosi:
Congress Must Uphold Oath to 'Protect and Defend' Constitution... by Passing Gun Control. In a press release marking the one-year
anniversary of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, the former Speaker of the House said: "In Congress, there can be no more fitting memorial
to the lives lost in Aurora, in Newtown, and across the country than a concerted effort to enact commonsense gun safety legislation.
"We must uphold our oath to 'protect and defend' the constitution and all Americans by expanding background checks and keeping dangerous
firearms out of the wrong hands."
High-profile
Dems reluctant to weigh in on San Diego mayor groping claims. Democrats who accused Republicans of being anti-women during last
year's campaign are strangely silent now that one of their own — San Diego Mayor Bob Filner — is accused of groping and
sexually assaulting women. "Don't identify him as my former colleague," an agitated House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi reportedly said
Thursday night [7/18/2013] when asked about the claims against Filner. Pelosi worked alongside Filner for 10 years in Congress.
Mrs. Pelosi's Erroneous
Ongoing Catechesis. Overnight I received an e-mail from MSNBC publicity about an interview Andrea Mitchell has done with former
speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, airing later today [7/18/2013]. They talk about the Texas bill that will be signed into law today, which
puts protections in place for unborn children at 20 weeks and older. Pelosi, not for the first time, tries to shut down any opposition
to her abortion-rights "sacred ground" position by pulling a "mother" and "Catholic" card, somewhat incoherently.
Pelosi On
Affordable Care Act: 'Captures the Spirit of our Founders'. Independence Day is the perfect day to remember that liberal
Democrats want Americans to be dependent on government. Nancy Pelosi reminded Americans of that on June 27 with her remarks
to the press about the national holiday, where she essentially argued that the Founding Fathers would have loved ObamaCare. "[W]hen
we celebrate Independence Day we'll also be observing health independence. This week marks one year since the Supreme Court upheld
the Affordable Care Act. It captures the spirit of our founders, the spirit they wrote in the Declaration of Independence:
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," Pelosi said.
Priests Rebuke Nancy
Pelosi: Repent or Join a Satanic Church. I wish the craven evangelical ministers would grow some cojones like "The Priests for Life"
obviously have and start rebuking politicians who claim union with Christ while proposing and supporting legislation that's spawned in the abyss.
Priests Tell
Pro-Abortion Pelosi to Renounce Catholicism. Priests for Life slammed House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in an open letter this week,
telling her to "either exercise [her] duties as a public servant and a Catholic, or have the honesty to formally renounce them." The harsh words
came after Pelosi blasted a reporter for asking the "moral difference" between a late-term abortion and the murder of a viable baby after birth.
Priests to Pelosi: condemn abortion or leave the
Church. A pro-life group called on California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi to "exercise your duties as a public servant and a Catholic, or
have the honesty to formally renounce them," in a widely-circulated open letter Wednesday [6/19/2013]. "Public servants are supposed to be able
to tell the difference between serving the public and killing the public. Apparently, you can't," wrote national director of Priests for Life
Father Frank Pavone.
Pelosi: Banning Abortion Post-22
Weeks is 'Disrespectful' to Women. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said a bill to outlaw abortions after
22 weeks (5-and-a-half months) is "disrespectful" to women, adding that "as a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred
ground to me." "Yesterday was just really another day in the life of the Republican Congress," Pelosi said during a Thursday press
conference on Capitol Hill. "They passed legislation that was disrespectful of the rights, health and safety of American women."
Pelosi
angered by reporter's question about 'moral difference' between Gosnell, other abortions. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., accused a reporter of pushing an "agenda" when he asked her to explain the "moral difference" between the murders
that Kermit Gosnell was convicted of and elective abortions carried out beyond the 24th week of a pregnancy. "You're probably
enjoying that question a lot, I can see you savoring it," Pelosi replied when The Weekly Standard's John McCormack finished asking the
question. "What was done in Philadelphia was reprehensible," she continued. And then, referring to a bill that the House
Judiciary Committee passed recommending the ban of abortions after 20 weeks, Pelosi said "for them to decide what a women does
with her reproductive health is reprehensible."
Top House Democrat stonewalls: "This is sacred ground." Pelosi Can't Explain Difference Between
Gosnell Slayings and Late-Term Abortions. At a Thursday [6/13/2013] press conference, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi
condemned a bill that would prohibit abortions during the final four months of pregnancy with and exception for when the life and physical
health of the mother is at risk. Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and
aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer. "As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred
ground to me when we talk about this," Pelosi said. "I don't think it should have anything to do with politics."
Pelosi's wealth falls to $24.4 million.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) substantial personal wealth dropped for the second year in a row after she took on more
debt with her husband, according to her latest financial disclosure report. Pelosi's personal fortune was at least $24.4 million
in 2012, according to her financial disclosure statement released on Friday [6/14/2013]. That's an almost 8 percent decline
from her minimum net worth of $26.4 million for 2011.
Obama,
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are America's great dividers. This statement appears on the House Minority
Leader's web site: "Democrats are building an economic approach that lifts every American, not just the privileged
few. The average American CEO earns more before lunchtime in one day than a minimum wage worker earns all year.
This is not the kind of America we want our children to grow up in. Today's economic challenges result from years
of Republican inaction and failed policies that have left more and more Americans behind." In Pelosi's world,
Democrats are for "every American," while Republicans favor only "the privileged few."
Pelosi: Role of
government is 'fulfillment'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that one of government's functions is to
help Americans achieve "fulfillment." Making a pitch for Congress to pass bills keeping government subsidies in student loans
and to pass legislation bolstering federal support for jobs, Mrs Pelosi said there is a fundamental difference between the approach
her party brings to legislating. "To some of us the role of government is about doing things for the American people to help
them reach fulfillment," the California Democrat said.
Pelosi: 'You're
Mandated to Have Health Insurance, Yes, You Will Have An Increase'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said
on Thursday [6/6/2013] that health insurance premiums will go up under Obamacare because people who did not buy insurance before, and
thus had no premium at all, will now be forced to buy insurance. She also urged people to be "optimistic" about Obamacare.
"You just see," Pelosi said. "I mean be optimistic about it. It is a very, very exciting enterprise."
Pelosi:
GOP focusing on Bengazi, AP and IRS because Obama 'is a great president'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,
charged Republicans with "exploiting" the questions surrounding the Benghazi talking points, the AP phone records seizure and the IRS
scandal to attack President Obama because "they fear" his agenda and eloquence.
Pelosi:
ObamaCare 'largely responsible' for bringing down deficit. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday [5/13/2013]
that President Obama's landmark healthcare reform law is helping to bring down the deficit. "Many of the initiatives that he passed
are what are coming to bear now, including the Affordable Care Act," Pelosi said in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes. "The
Affordable Care Act is bringing the cost of health care in our country down in both the public and private sector. And that is what
is largely responsible for the deficit coming down."
Nancy Pelosi: 'I pray' Hillary Clinton
runs for president. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday [5/2/2013] at an event in Little Rock, Ark., that she prays former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will run for president, saying it would send a powerful message to women in the world.
Pelosi: 'Unleash' Women Via
'Affordable Quality Childcare for All'. "What we have to do," said Pelosi, "and not necessarily as, shall we say, as
transformative as Social Security and Medicare and the Affordable Care Act for everybody, but I think very important to our country,
is to have affordable quality childcare for all of America's children. If we are going to unleash all that women have to offer
we have to really get to this point."
Poll: Nancy Pelosi [is the] least liked Hill
leader. Americans dislike all four of the nation's top congressional leaders, according to a poll released Wednesday, with
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi leading the way in unpopularity. Pelosi, the target of extensive GOP attack ads over the years,
is viewed unfavorably by 48 percent of Americans in the Gallup poll. Only 31 percent have a favorable opinion of the
former House Speaker.
Pelosi: Obamacare Means 'You
Could Be A Photographer or Writer'. Marking the third anniversary of Obamacare's passage, House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the health care law fulfills the promises of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness because it allows people
to leave jobs that include health insurance as a benefit: You can become a "photographer or writer." "I've always said that
the Affordable Care Act is something that was transformative," Pelosi said Wednesday during a press conference on Capitol Hill marking
the upcoming anniversary of the law on March 23.
Pelosi Will Balance the Budget Over Her Dead
Body. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Thursday that she would like to see a balanced budget, "in
a number of decades." During her weekly press conference on Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Pelosi if she agreed with President
Barack Obama's recent remarks that America does not have an "immediate" debt crisis. The U.S. debt as of Wednesday stands
at $16.7 trillion.
Nancy
Pelosi: 'I Don't Think Obama Has Ever Done Anything for Political Reasons'. House Minority Leader Nancy raised some
eyebrows and got a few laughs when she said this of President Obama: "I don't think he's ever done anything for political
reasons [...] This has been a president as bipartisan as any that I've seen."
Nancy Pelosi demands $10.10 per hour
minimum wage. Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that recent Wall Street gains mean one sure thing:
The minimum wage should be hike to $10.10 per hour. "This week, we saw something quite remarkable — the stock marking
soaring to record heights," she said, Raw Story reported. [...] So, she suggests, why not raise the current minimum wage from $7.25 per
hour to $10.10 per hour — even more than the $9 per hour proposed by the president?
Pelosi: 'Tax Cuts Are Spending'.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said today that the government must cut spending, and then explained that:
"Tax cuts are spending." "Our whole budget is what $3.5 trillion," Pelosi said at a Capitol Hill press conference.
"So, when we talk about reducing spending, we certainly must, and we certainly have — $1.6 trillion in the
previous Congress, $1.2 [sic] of it in the Budget Control Act.
Pelosi: Obama can keep drone
strikes against Americans a secret. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., believes that President Obama doesn't necessarily have to
announce that an American citizen suspected of terrorism has been killed in a drone strike. "Maybe. It just depends," Pelosi replied when The
Huffington Post asked her if "the administration should acknowledge when it targets a U.S. citizen in a drone strike."
Nancy Pelosi says drone strikes on Americans can stay
secret. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the White House doesn't necessarily have to confess to killing American citizens by unarmed drones.
It all depends on the situation, she said in reply to a Huffington Post reporter who asked if President Obama's administration should acknowledge when it targets a
U.S. citizen in a drone strike, the Washington Examiner reported. "Maybe, it just depends," she reportedly said. "People just want to be protected."
She also said that such disclosure "depends on the timing, because that's right — it's all about the timing."
Nancy Pelosi: Push for Gun Control While
We Have the Chance. The measures, which largely reflect recommendations by President Obama and Vice President Biden, include universal background checks,
"high capacity" magazine bans, an "assault weapons" ban, a "crack down on gun trafficking," laws against "straw purchases," and mandatory gun safety training programs.
It should be noted that none of these would have prevented the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Nancy Pelosi To Fox News
Sunday: It's A 'False Argument To Say We Have A Spending Problem'. On Fox News Sunday [2/10/2013], House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
told Fox News Channel anchor Chris Wallace that the ongoing debate about a balanced approach to deficit reduction should not place undue emphasis on spending
cuts. She said that it is "almost a false argument" to say that Washington has a "spending problem." Pelosi noted that there have been "plenty of
spending cuts," and budgetary priorities like education and food safety must be protected.
Pelosi: First Amendment Protects Right To Bear Arms.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on "Fox News Sunday" was confused, claiming it's the first, not second amendment that protects Americans' right to bear
arms. [Video clip]
Nancy Pelosi Meets with Barbra
Streisand, Plots Dem House Comeback. Hollywood Democrats aren't happy that one half of Congress remains out of their
control. So a gaggle of big name celebrity donors, including Barbra Streisand, convened at the home of liberal activist/producer
Norman Lear to plot a comeback strategy and watch a little must-see TV.
Nancy Pelosi Meets with Barbra
Streisand, Plots Dem House Comeback. More than 40 Hollywood politicos — including Barbra Streisand, James
Brolin and Haim Saban — gathered Thursday night [1/31/2013] at a closed-door meeting at Norman Lear's Westside mansion,
where they heard Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi lay out the party's plans for recapturing the House in the 2014 mid-terms.
Pelosi: More Gun
Control Needed Because 'We Took an Oath to Protect and Defend'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said action
must be taken in the aftermath of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School because members of Congress took an oath to "protect
and defend," although the actual oath says to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States...."
Nancy Pelosi coins a new term for gun
control. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has adopted a new term for gun control, "gun violence prevention," in
hopes that the euphemism will make it easier to marshal public opinion in favor of new gun laws as well as other policies designed to prevent
shootings.
Where Are The Jobs, Mr. President?
When Nancy Pelosi asked that question in 2003, the unemployment rate was 6.1 percent. The unemployment rate for blacks was
11 percent. GDP, however, was growing at a 7.2 percent clip, and barely more than a year later the unemployment rate had
fallen to 4.9 percent. That didn't stop Pelosi and her allies, including many in the news media, from repeatedly asking the
above question and proclaiming the jobs picture to be the worst since Herbert Hoover.
Pelosi says
upcoming fiscal deals should include greater tax increase. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Sunday [1/6/2013]
that recent tax increases are "not enough" to solve the country's fiscal problems and argued that additional hikes should be included
in upcoming deficit-reduction deals.
Too bad she's not this enthusiastic about the Second Amendment. Pelosi
urges Obama to sidestep Congress, use 14th Amendment to raise debt ceiling. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi shared her
own idea Sunday on how to avoid a government shutdown should the Republican House and President Barack Obama find themselves unable to
reach an agreement on raising the debt ceiling: invoke the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
Pelosi defends
decision to alter congressional class photo. The Democratic women of the 113th Congress had gathered on the Capitol steps
Thursday [1/3/2013] for a picture, snapped by The Associated Press, marking the start of the session. Four lawmakers, though, were late to
the shoot. So Pelosi's office added their faces after the fact — then emailed that image around to reporters and posted
it on her Flickr page.
Nancy
Pelosi's photo trickery enhances her caucus. [Scroll down] The photos get taken. Everyone runs to get back inside
the Capitol where the hot air is. But just then here comes Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who's very important, you know. [...] And with
her is Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who's loud and one of the few surviving Texas Democrats. So, she's important and a couple of other
nobodies. Alas, no more group to join. But wait! Thanks to the wonders of technology there is a solution. The
photographer takes the four tardy ladies' photo. And Pelosi's office Photoshops them into the back row.
Kathleen the Terrible. Among the gifts Nancy Pelosi brings to the
House of Representatives is her ability to draw a hearty guffaw from the most jaded observer of American politics. This talent for comedy was on display
last Wednesday [12/12/2012] when she told a group of toadeaters disguised as journalists that she belongs to the anti-corruption party. The Orwellian
absurdity of the claim, combined with her trademark vapid expression, was enough to make a cat laugh.
Nancy Pelosi pushes
Democrats as the anti-corruption party. How well did Pelosi succeed in "ending the culture of corruption"? Rep. Shelly
Berkley, D-Nev., is leaving D.C. after losing a Senate campaign largely because of ethical problems, including how she used her position as lawmaker to
prevent the closure of a kidney care center — a kidney care center that paid her husband almost three quarters of a million dollars a year.
Nancy
Pelosi supports giving Obama 'unilateral control' to raise debt ceiling. During a press conference today [11/30/2012], House
Minority leader Nancy Pelosi signaled that she supported "unilateral control" for the President over the country's debt limit. "Do
you support President Obama having the power to unilaterally increase the debt limit as Secretary Geithner proposed?" asked a reporter.
"Yes." Pelosi answered shortly.
Pelosi: Give Obama Power to
Personally Lift Debt Limit to Infinity. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Friday [11/30/2012] that
Congress should hand over to President Barack Obama the power to unilateral increase the limit on the U.S. government's debt. In
effect, under the plan Pelosi is endorsing, the only limit on the national debt would be President Obama's willingness to borrow money in
the name of American taxpayers.
Welcome to Obamcare: The
United Socialist States of America. I do realize there are changes that needed to be made in our medical system because it is/was
getting so out of hand but did we really need this? I was really terrified when Pelosi said "well we have to pass it so we can know what's
in it." I can't believe the people in her district are so dumb. Really? Are her voters so captivated by her that they don't
pay attention to what she is saying?
Pelosi
suggests it's sexist to question why she's staying as leader. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced that
she will run again for the top position in her conference, but she was offended by the suggestion that she's too old to continue in the
post.
Why
Nancy Pelosi should step down as House Democratic Leader: There's little doubt that if Pelosi wants the job, she can keep it.
She remains immensely popular with the liberal wing of the House caucus which, if anything, has grown stronger and more unified in the past
two elections. She is also, without question, the best fundraiser among House Democrats (and maybe the second-best fundraiser in the
party). Since coming into party leadership in 2002, Pelosi has raised $328 million, including $85 million in the 2012
election cycle alone, according to Pelosi aides.
Nancy Pelosi's Secret CAIR
Fundraiser. For Pelosi to appear at a fundraiser with Nihad Awad is as revolting, and should be as newsworthy,
as if she had appeared at a fundraiser with David Duke or Bull Connor. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is
an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR operatives
have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.
Pelosi holds secret
fundraiser with Islamists, Hamas-linked groups. Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi headlined a high-dollar fundraiser
in May that was attended by U.S.-based Islamist groups and individuals linked by the U.S. government to the Hamas jihad group and to
the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood movement. The donors at the undisclosed May 16 event included Nihad Awad, the co-founder
of the Council on American Islamic Relations, according to data provided by the nonpartisan Investigative Project on Terrorism.
Voters don't like Nancy Pelosi. Only Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid has a lower favorable rating, 25 percent, but his unfavorables aren't as bad as Pelosi's, at 47 percent.
Nancy Pelosi says she read Obamacare
bill. Problem is, while Pelosi told the Chronicle that there was no bill yet on March 9, 2010, that's not quite accurate.
Congress had not enacted a final measure, although later that month it would do so and Obama would sign the bill. But the House and Senate
passed versions of Obamacare in 2009. This is a great example of Pelosi's insider-speak and her insistence of arguing a dubious
technicality — yes, there was no final bill — making her both unintelligible and open to parody.
Pelosi:
"Validation" Of Romney Will "Take Us To A Period Before Lyndon Johnson". In an interview with former
Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-Mich.) on her Current TV show, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali) declared President
Obama will win the election in November. The former Speaker of the House went as far to say speculating otherwise is "remote."
Pelosi
says GOP has 'nerve' to ask if Americans are better off under Obama. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) blasted Republicans
on Friday afternoon [9/21/2012] for continuing to assert that Americans are not better off under President Obama's administration, and said every
economic indicator shows that the country is in a much better spot today than it was four years ago. "The Republicans have the nerve to pose
that question, when if you look back to four years ago this very week ... you would know that we are indeed fundamentally and unquestionably better
off as a country today," Pelosi said on the House floor.
America's national
security takes a back seat to Obama's political survival. Even in the face of a plea from Nancy Pelosi, President Obama insisted on subordinating
the defense needs of the United States to his reelection efforts. This is an under-reported lesson from Glenn Thrush's new e-book, Obama's Last Stand. [...]
Note that Pelosi's concern was keeping local financial contributors happy. If she was concerned about the impact of sequestration on our armed services and
national security, she did not, according to Thrush's account, make this her pitch to President Obama.
The Pelosis are Who We Thought They Were. [Scroll down] The couple has refused to hire unions to
work in its vineyard and other business interests, even as Pelosi has collected $365,500 in political contributions from labor groups in 2012. She has also
railed against bankers despite the fact that her husband's colleagues are her staunchest allies, contributing $500,000 in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive
Politics. Hambrecht, Pelosi's UFL partner, is in the latter group. He has contributed $160,000 to Democratic candidates since 2007, including $22,000 to
Pelosi and her Super PAC, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Coach: Pelosis in Breach of Contract. A new lawsuit brought by a former NFL coach charges the
husband of House minority leader Nancy Pelosi with breach of contract. Dennis Green, former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona
Cardinals, is accusing Paul Pelosi and business partner Bill Hambrecht of failing to honor the $1.5 million contract he signed to coach Pelosi's
football team, the Sacramento Mountain Lions.
Pelosi:
Civil Contempt Lawsuit Against Holder About Vote Suppression. Fast & Furious was a gun walking scheme set in place by the government.
It caused numerous guns to walk into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the deaths of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and 300+ Mexicans.
There are still 1,000+ guns missing. They're also linked to numerous other crimes in Mexico. It has nothing to do with anyone's right
to vote.
Whistle-blower,
documents: Illinois state workers forced to attend Pelosi, Jesse Jackson Jr. event on taxpayer dime. Documents and a whistle-blower affidavit obtained
by The Daily Caller charge that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., and Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., participated in an
unethical — and possibly illegal — effort to force 76 employees of an Illinois state agency to engage in political activity on the
taxpayers' dime. According to the whistle-blower, Rev. Jackson also encouraged the government employees to load first-generation and low-income college
students up with student loan debt — because Democrats in Congress, he allegedly promised, would eventually pass laws to forgive that debt later.
"[T]hose people will continue to vote Democratic," Jackson Sr. said, according to the whistle-blower.
Nancy Pelosi's greatest "it's a
conspiracy" hits. The lawmaker most prone to imagining shadowy secret cabals influencing our politics is undoubtedly House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Nancy Pelosi accuses Republicans of
trying to kill children with E. coli. Republicans don't want to spend money to protect children from the E. coli bacteria, said House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during a campaign event Monday [8/6/2012] in support of a Democrat running for a Florida congressional seat.
Unfit to Govern. Nancy Pelosi, the
leader who warned that we were losing "500 million jobs a month" without the stimulus bill and who said "God bless them" regarding
Occupy Wall Street but condemned the tea party as "AstroTurf," has declared that the Republican Party supports E. coli.
True, it's not news when Pelosi mangles the facts. But until her colleagues demote her, she remains the leader of House
Democrats.
Pelosi 'Swears' Spirit of
Susan B. Anthony Spoke to Her in White House. [Scroll down] "My chair was getting crowded in," said Pelosi.
"I swear this happened, never happened before, it never happened since." "My chair was getting crowded in and I couldn't figure
out what it was, it was like this," she said. "And then I realized Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott,
Alice Paul, Sojourner Truth, you name it, they were all in that chair, they were," said Pelosi. "More than I named and I could hear
them say: 'At last we have a seat at the table.' And then they were gone." This was not the only time Pelosi has told
this story. On June 6 of this year she told it during an event celebrating her 25 years of political service.
Pelosi:
Obama Has Created Many "Expansions Of Freedom". Citing ObamaCare, the Lilly Ledbetter Act and the repeal of Don't
Ask, Don't Tell, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali.) says President Obama has enacted many "expansions of freedom."
In a speech to Campus Progress, where she received an award, Pelosi said the Affordable Care Act is "about life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness."
Top 10 most dangerous liberals. [#10] Nancy
Pelosi: It will take years, if not decades, to undo the damage done by the spending spree during Pelosi's tenure as speaker of the House.
From 2006 to 2010, the nation racked up trillions of dollars in debt, largely due to spending bills initiated by Pelosi's Democratic House majority.
And without her strong-armed tactics, Obamacare never would have become law.
Welcome to the welfare state: Obama's 'badge of honor'.
Nancy Pelosi says President Obama should embrace the "Food Stamp President" label as a badge of honor — and he has.
Food stamp use has risen 100 percent in three years. Welfare reform has been rolled back through work requirement waivers.
The USDA holds "food stamp parties" to hook seniors, and Obama's Ag secretary calls welfare "economic stimulus."
Pelosi: Bill That
Would Defund Obamacare, Planned Parenthood Is 'An Immorality'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said
on Thursday [7/19/2012] that a Republican appropriations bill that would defund Planned Parenthood and the Patient Affordable
Care Act (AKA Obamacare) is "an immorality." On Wednesday, Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.), chairman of the House Subcommittee
on Labor, Health and Human Services, introduced legislation for fiscal year 2013 that would cut $6.3 billion and prohibit any
further funding to implement Obamcare and would also cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood, an organization which says
that it did 329,445 abortions in 2010.
The Awakened Giant Likes Tea. By inexplicably siding with the court's
left wing and upholding the president's signature achievement — government-run socialized health care — Roberts has given Democrats
a shiny election-year package adorned with a judicial-activist bow. The excessive celebration has begun. Nancy Pelosi immediately released a
statement gloating, "We made history. ... We completed unfinished business!"
Pelosi whinnies from the pastures. If so many of today's
incumbent politicians are yesterday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the Day Before. Surely the icing on the cake in 2010 midterm
elections was the end to Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker. Though she's tried ever since to advance the philosophy that being Minority
Leader for the 112th Congress is just as good, Pelosi's clout went out with the tide of 63 lost Dem seats.
Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Part Duh.
Revealing yet another portion of the chamber of horrors that is her power obsessed mind, Pelosi channeled Hillary Clinton, experiencing a
vicarious flashback to Clinton's infamous "vast right wing conspiracy" moment. Never mind that there are hundreds of Mexicans and an
American Border Control Agent dead as the result of sophisticated automatic weapons ending up in the hands of known, hardened criminals.
It should not matter to voters that this is a result of the current administration's irresponsible, scandalous Fast and Furious gun walking
operation. Finding out how that happened and who is ultimately responsible for those deaths is not important.
Rove: Pelosi 'sounds like Mad Red
Queen' with arrest threat. Karl Rove said Rep. Nancy Pelosi was "dead wrong" when she suggested Wednesday that she could have had
him arrested. "The only way I could have been arrested is if the House adopted the resolution, which it did not," the Republican operative
and former adviser to President George W. Bush told Fox News on Wednesday night [6/20/2012].
Dems avoid,
Republicans slam Pelosi theory on Holder contempt push. A day after Nancy Pelosi accused Republicans of targeting Attorney
General Eric Holder because of his department's crackdown on state voter ID laws, GOP lawmakers dismissed the claim as "hogwash" while
Democrats kept their distance. Asked about Pelosi's claim at Thursday's [6/21/2012] press briefing, White House Press Secretary Jay
Carney would not say that the administration shares her theory.
Pelosi: Justice for Brian Terry
Isn't As Important As Jobs. This morning the buzz about former Speaker Nancy Pelosi revolves around her statement that she could
have arrested Karl Rove at any time. But if you dig deeper into the story, you come across a quote that shows just how heartless this woman
really is.
Pelosi Says Contempt
Charge a Right-Wing Scheme on Voter Rights. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi blasted Wednesday's contempt proceedings over the
Oversight and Government Reform committee's Fast and Furious investigation as a "shameful display of abuse of power" by House Republicans.
She claims it's part of a right-wing "over-the-edge" scheme to strike back against Attorney General Eric Holder for defending voting rights
across the country.
The Editor says...
I hesitate to quote from (or link to) ABC News on this web site, but I do so in this case to illustrate that the article above is a news report with the
reporter's opinion seamlessly injected here and there. The statement that Eric Holder is defending voting rights across the country is a
canard, because the right of living U.S. citizens (18 or over) to vote one time in each election are not under attack anywhere, as far as I know,
and there is therefore no need for Eric Holder to go on the defense.
No, Ms. Pelosi, We Aren't Suppressing, but Holder is Pushing
Fraud. Among legal voters, the order is a political wash: It might attract some votes from legal Hispanic citizens,
but it also will even further turn off another block of voters who hate amensty or who object to flagrant executive overreacch. But by
providing a sort of documentation to 800,000 new people, it also makes it easier for those 800,000 to vote. Holder and Obama know this.
They approve of it. And Pelosi knows it.
Pelosi: Obamacare Is 'A Right'. House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said at her Thursday [6/7/2012] press briefing that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act —
AKA Obamacre — is not a privilege but "a right." At the same time, Pelosi also said Social Security and Medicare
are rights.
Pelosi:
Obamacare Will Be Upheld 6-3, 'Because I Know the Constitution'. [Scroll down] Pelosi, in reference
to how the nine-judge court will rule, said, "6-3. That's it. 6-3." She was then asked why she was so
confident about her prediction, "Do you have a crystal ball or what is your confidence — you wrote the bill
but why do you have this confidence?" Pelosi said: "Because I know the Constitution. This bill is
ironclad. It is ironclad."
When
Pelosi Says 'Free,' Reach for Your Wallet. On Tuesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi explained to the
Commonwealth Club the reason Washington passed Obamacare. Even if everyone in America "loved" his own health care
plan, Pelosi argued, Congress had to pass President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act because American health care was
"unsustainable financially." Yes, Pelosi actually believes Washington had to get involved in health care to reduce
its cost. The Democratic leader then listed some of Obamacare's new benefits: "free" annual checkups and
preventive care and the ability of adult children to stay on their parents' policies until age 26.
San Francisco to rename street
after Pelosi. "Middle Drive East" which connects Martin Luthjer King Jr. Drive and John F Kennedy Drive in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park
will now be renamed in honor of Pelosi and her 25 years of service in Congress. San Francisco is the second city to name a street after Pelosi.
Obama budget defeated 99-0 in
Senate. President Obama's budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it. Coupled with
the House's rejection in March, 414-0, that means Mr. Obama's budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year. Republicans forced the
vote by offering the president's plan on the Senate floor.
Reid, Pelosi: America's Least Favorite Politicians.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) may occupy some of the most powerful positions in
Congress, but they're also two of the most reviled American politicians, according to a new Rasmussen poll.
Still Clueless: What Is the Tea Party?
For the Obama camp and mainstream media to have the unmitigated gall to say the Occupy movement is equal to the Tea Party makes for off-the-chain
arrogance and shameless lying. [...] No one has been raped at a Tea Party. Rapes are occurring at OWS. No property, government or private,
has been vandalized or destroyed by Tea Party patriots. OWS has been trashing businesses. No feces has been thrown or used to make a
point at a Tea Party, but OWS dumped a bucket of feces in a public building. No arrests have been made at a Tea Party, but we have over 7,000 at
OWS. And yet, Democrat Nancy Pelosi said God bless OWS while calling the Tea Party Nazi.
Pelosi: Obama's Gay Marriage
Reversal 'Not Political at All,' 'Nothing to Do with Money'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said President Barack Obama's
embrace of same-sex "marriage" on Wednesday was not political "at all," nor due to concerns over fundraising from the LGBT community, adding that she's
not "big in the bundler crowd." At her weekly press conference with reporters on Thursday, Pelosi was asked whether fundraising may have affected
the president's decision to endorse homosexual "marriage," and if she had spoken to friends, donors and "bundlers" who now are more enthusiastic for
Obama because of his apparent "evolution" on the issue.
Nancy Pelosi's top 10 gaffes.
Here are some of the most outrageous claims made by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Pelosi
denies lying about waterboarding. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., reiterated that she never received a briefing
on waterboarding, contrary to the former CIA counterterrorism head who says he personally briefed her on the interrogation techniques.
"This is once again totally false," Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill told The Washington Examiner. "The independent CIA Inspector
General conducted a review and the findings are consistent with what Leader Pelosi has maintained all along." In 2009, Pelosi
denied knowing that the CIA waterboarded high-value terrorist detainees. "We were not — I repeat — were not
told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used," she told reporters.
Nancy
Pelosi Seeks To Rewrite First Amendment. Leave it to Nancy Pelosi, who said we had to pass ObamaCare in
order to find out what's in it, to suggest that a document we had well over two centuries to read was misinterpreted by
the court in its Citizens United decision wherein it held that corporations and unions can spend unlimited amounts on
political advocacy as long as they do not coordinate with candidates or campaigns.
Pelosi:
GOP Wants 'Subsidies for Big Oil,' Democrats Want to 'Prevent Breast Cancer'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) said women's health care is the "old favorite target" of Republicans when it comes to budget cuts, adding that while
the GOP wants "to protect subsidies for big oil," Democrats want to "prevent breast cancer" and "immunize our children."
Keep the First Amendment. The phrase "stunning
development" is used far too often in our politics, but here is an item that can be described in no other way: Nancy Pelosi and congressional
Democrats, frustrated by the fact that the Bill of Rights interferes with their desire to muzzle their political opponents, have proposed to repeal the
First Amendment. That is precisely what the so-called People's Rights Amendment would do.
Nancy Pelosi's Constitution.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — the speaker of the House when Obamacare was passed — has
an op-ed in the Chicago Tribune highlighting her constitutional confusion. [...] Nowhere in her column does Pelosi
actually grapple with two issues: the fact that Article III, giving Congress the power to regulate the
jurisdiction of federal courts, is actually in the Constitution; she does not identify the constitutionally
enumerated power that gives federal government the authority mandate the purchase of health insurance or
otherwise implement Obamacare.
And
America's least-liked congressional leader is... On the other side of the like scale, Pelosi is the easy winner
of the most unfavorable rating, pulling away with nearly two-out-of-three (60%), and trailed by, of course, another Democrat,
Reid with 48% unfavorable. Next highest unfavorable is Boehner at 42% with McConnell the winner of sorts of least
disliked at 36% unfavorable. The same surveys found that a depressing 48% of likely voters believe that most of the
435 members of Congress are corrupt.
Pelosi: 'Congress Has Always Been A
Mockery'. "Congress has always been a mockery," Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared in an interview on "The Charlie
Rose Show" Monday night [4/2/2012]. Commenting on the public's current low opinion of Congress, Pelosi said "Congress has
always been a mockery since the beginning of our country": "Congress has always — let's put this in
perspective — Congress has always been a mockery since the beginning of our country and if you looked at the
history of it, they've always been fighting over one thing or another."
Yes, Nancy Pelosi, We are Serious. [Scroll down] She
seemed to have been taken by surprise by the question in the chaotic hubbub of the announcement that the Senate might pass its version of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, or the ACA, or Obamacare, or Public Law 111-148). Or at least she was stunned by the idea that anyone
would question the government's "right" to conceive of and pass such a law. No one else was questioning the legality of such a law. All
other questions patronized her alleged wisdom about its necessity. Her flunky press spokesman (with the ironic title of communications director)
simply repeated the answer, and shoed [sic] the annoying reporter away.
Yes,
Congresswoman Pelosi, We're Serious: On the Constitutionality of Obamacare. Several times during the
debate and deliberation, my mind harkened back to the words of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Remarking
on the original Obamacare bill, Pelosi infamously said that first "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what
is in it." Even more outrageous was another Pelosi observation, especially given the pivotal role of the
Supreme Court. In October 2009, Pelosi was asked by a reporter if the healthcare legislation was constitutional.
Remembering Nancy Pelosi's Syria Junket.
Five years ago this coming Wednesday, House Majority leader Nancy Pelosi defied President Bush's request and his strategy
isolating Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad by going to Damascus. "We do not encourage and, in fact, we discourage members
of Congress to make such visits to Syria," the White House spokesman said. "This is a country that is a state sponsor
of terror." Pelosi would have none of that. She had known evil and to her, he resided in the White House.
The Syrian dictator, however, was a reforming, Western educated eye doctor.
Pelosi
held over 400 fundraisers in one year. NPR reporter Andrea Seabrook recently toured with Nancy Pelosi
during a fundraising swing through Texas covering two days, five or six events, three cities. When asked by
Seabrook how often she attends fundraisers a week, she replies, "A lot, you know. They're either on the phone or
attending events. But I think they've said this year I've attended almost 400 fundraisers in nearly 40 cities."
Pelosi
Has 'No Idea' If Supreme Court Will Hold Individual Mandate Constitutional. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) who in 2009 rebuked a reporter for asking her where the Constitution authorized Congress to require
people to buy health insurance — "Are you serious? Are you serious?" she said then — now says she
has "no idea" if the Supreme Court will rule that the mandate is in fact constitutional.
Pelosi: Food Stamp President 'Badge
Of Honor'. Speaking at Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Push Coalition, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi addressed recent
comments by Newt Ginginch referring to Obama as the "Food Stamp President" because more Americans have fallen into poverty and had to
seek government assistance. According to Ms. Pelosi, this was a "Badge of Honor".
Pelosi:
Obamacare Allows You to Quit Your Job and Become 'Whatever'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
said Thursday [3/22/2012] that Obamacare facilitates the type of "liberation" that the "Founders had in mind" because it
allows you to quit your job and become a "photographer," a "writer," a "musician" — or "whatever."
"As you hear from these stories, this is a liberation," Pelosi said at a Capitol Hill news conference Thursday.
"This is what our founders had in mind — ever expanding opportunity for people.
Levin on
Pelosi: We're being ruled by the dumbest people in America. Levin says that when it seems like stuff the
Democrats say can't get any stranger, it does. And this time it's Nancy Pelosi arguing that ObamaCare fulfills the
Declaration of Independence. Yeah, she really said that.
Pelosi:
Give Us ObamaCare, Or Give Us Death. As the Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the constitutionality of ObamaCare,
the former House speaker says its purpose is to guarantee our inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Pelosi
is Congress' most unpopular leader. Just 29 percent give [House Minority Leader Nancy] Pelosi,
the former speaker struggling to win back the House majority, a favorable rating. [Senate Majority Leader
Harry] Reid's favorable rating is lower, at 24 percent.
The Bell Tolls for Breitbart.
The president of NOW, an organization that should have lost all credibility when it continued to support Bill
Clinton, announced that the bishops really want the police power of the state to prevent women from taking birth
control. Still, even they must have known that this wasn't winning over a lot of the skeptics, and so Nancy
Pelosi offered up space to a Georgetown University Law school student named Sandra Fluke, who whined that because
that Catholic university doesn't provide contraceptive coverage in its health care insurance she had to pay $3,000
over a three year period for it. Representative Pelosi trembled with joy to have a dog and pony show artiste
like this to make her point to the low information voters.
What happened to all that talk about draining the swamp? Pelosi
endorses Rep. Jackson for reelection. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) has endorsed Rep.
Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), whose reelection bid has been plagued by an ethics investigation. Pelosi joins
President Obama and several other top Democrats in their endorsement of the Chicago lawmaker as he goes up against
former Democratic Rep. Debbie Halvorson (Ill.) in a fierce primary battle next month.
Pelosi Raises $400k at home of lobbyist for
company that booted protesters from Zuccotti Park. Nancy Pelosi Sells out Occupy. Politico
Influence reports that House minority leader Nancy Pelosi and minority whip Steny Hoyer raised $400,000 last night [2/14/2012]
at a fundraiser held at the home of Democratic lobbyists Heather and Tony Podesta. Heather Podesta runs the
firm Heather Podesta and Partners.
Pelosi:
Govt. Should Require Church To Pay for Birth Control. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said
Thursday morning [2/16/2012] that the government should require self-insured religious institutions, such as the
Catholic church in Washington, D.C., to directly pay for contraception and abortifacients.
Nancy
Pelosi: Religious Freedom is an "Excuse" When It Comes to Women's Health. House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi said in a press conference Thursday [2/9/2012] that Republicans are using religious freedom as an excuse to
change the law in a way that will be harmful to women's health. This was in regard to the pushback against
Catholic employees being required to cover birth control and abortifacients, which violates Church doctrine.
This week's grand prize for doublespeak goes to Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi:
'I am going to stick with fellow Catholics' in supporting Obama birth control mandate. Even as
the United States' Catholic bishops have launched an all-out campaign against the Obama administration's birth
control mandate and urged their flocks to resistance, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has invoked the support
of "fellow Catholics" to justify her position in favor of the mandate. ... The comment came as at least
164 Catholic bishops across the country, representing over 90% of the country's dioceses, have blasted the
mandate, in many cases ensuring that letters were read to the faithful during Sunday Mass calling the mandate
unconstitutional and unjust.
Pelosi
might have skirted House ethics rules on campaign solicitations. The Democratic leader was holding
a briefing to promote a campaign finance disclosure bill when she said she was "asking people to contribute to us,
if they want to elect more reformers to Congress." House ethics rules prohibit members of Congress from
soliciting campaign donations in House office buildings, including the Capitol Visitor Center, where Pelosi was
speaking. A section of the U.S. criminal code also prohibits fund-raising in federal buildings.
Full-of-Pelosi. While
she was discussing Obamacare she said: "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it,
away from the fog of the controversy." Unemployment checks create jobs? Really? They do
according to Nancy: "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name." Fossil
fuels make a great alternative to — fossil fuels. Yes she said this: "I believe in natural
gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels," she said at one point. Natural gas "is cheap, abundant
and clean compared to fossil fuels," she said at another.
Oops, she did it
again. Nancy Pelosi is "glad" that President Obama ignored the Advice and Consent requirement
of the Constitution on his recent appointments to the National Labor Relations Board and the new bureaucratic
beast, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Ms. Pelosi has shown her contempt for the Constitution
before. When asked where in the Constitution she found the power to pass Obamacare, Pelosi said, "Are
you serious?" President Obama shows a similar contempt about whether the Constitution constrains him.
Throw 'Em All
Out... And Good Riddance! [Scroll down] Another tool of corruption is the IPO (which,
according to [Peter] Schweizer, means "Invest in Politicians Often"). Companies about to go public invite
certain strategically-placed politicians to make the first purchases in the offering, before the stockbrokers
or anyone else. You can't really call it a payoff. Nancy Pelosi is a particularly avid IPO fan.
She and her husband made an incredibly large purchase of the Visa IPO amounting to 10% of their stock portfolio,
raking off nearly a 50% profit on the original purchase in only two days. (Nancy Pelosi also had a station
built on a light rail line in San Francisco near one of her office buildings. Real estate manipulation is
yet another tool of the privileged class.)
Did Pelosi Commit Blackmail?
House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi recently said that if Newt Gingrich is the Republican nominee, she will
disclose what Americans do not now know about him out of confidential House Ethics Committee investigations.
Newt noted that this was an ethical violation itself, which caused Pelosi to back off her earlier threat, but
there is more at issue than just House Ethics Committee rules. The House Democrat Leader may well have
committed blackmail.
Another Load of Trickle-Up Economics.
So... if rich people opening businesses aren't creating jobs in the private sector, then who is? For the
answer, we turn to an even greater economic genius, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA, current net worth
$35.5 million.) Yesterday she repeated a theory she made famous some years ago, and which has become
one of the bedrock principles of the Obama Administration: jobs are created by people who don't have jobs,
through the magic of unemployment insurance, whose extension will create 600,000 jobs.
Pelosi:
Extending Unemployment Benefits Would Create '600,000 Jobs'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) said that extending unemployment benefits would add "600,000 jobs to our economy." She also
said that the money from unemployment benefits creates a "safety net" for the U.S. economy because it "injects
demand into the economy — creating jobs."
Nancy Pelosi,
Down and Dirty. [Scroll down] Of course, an endless parade of dirty Democratic scandals earlier this year had
already completely obliterated what was left of Pelosi's Mop-and-Glo reformer image. She and other liberal
feminists rallied around disgraced Twitter freak and former N.Y. Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner even as evidence
mounted that he lied to them. And used taxpayer resources and government buildings while sexting. And
recklessly neglected to ensure that his Internet paramours were of legal age.
Pelosi
Ridicules Catholics' "Conscience Thing" on Abortion Requirement. Catholics who believe the federal
government should not be able to compel healthcare providers to perform abortions "have this conscience thing"
that they really need to overcome, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the Washington Post
recently. Otherwise, she said, women "could die" from a lack of access to abortion services.
Nancy Pelosi Wants
A Federal Babysitting Service. Buried in a Washington Post story about Herman Cain calling Nancy Pelosi,
"Princess Nancy" is a new policy idea that Pelosi has been pitching recently during her short tour through California.
"One of the great pieces of unfinished business is high-quality child care; I wonder why we just can't do that," she
recently said to a California audience.
Pelosi Leads
List Of Conflict Of Interest Dems. The brewing scandal is complicated, but here's the Reader's
Digest version: After a Pelosi staffer left to lobby on behalf of credit-card giant Visa, Pelosi delayed
bringing to the House floor a bill to end lucrative "swipe fees" for Visa and other credit providers. The
bill couldn't have come at a worse time for Visa. It planned to launch an $18 billion public stock
offering, so stalling Hill action became a priority. The San Francisco-based company curried favor with
Pelosi by pumping cash into her re-election efforts, earning its CEO a rare one-on-one meeting with the speaker.
At the same time, Visa offered her husband a VIP cut of the IPO.
'Throw
them all out' sounds like a good start. Hoover Institution scholar Peter Schweizer is making huge
waves this week with advance coverage of his book "Throw Them All Out" on "60 Minutes" and in a Newsweek
piece by Peter Boyer. CBS and Newsweek focused on Schweizer's contention that because Congress exempts
itself from laws it imposes on the rest of us, senators and representatives can engage in insider stock trading
with impunity. Among the most outrageous examples, according to Schweizer, is that of former House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, who, with her millionaire husband, bought between $1 million and $5 million (members of
Congress only have to report such investments in broad categories rather than nickels and dimes like the rest
of us) in an initial public offering from Visa.
Pelosi's investments
questioned in CBS report. [Steve] Kroft asked Pelosi why she and her investor husband, Paul Pelosi,
bought an initial public offering of stock in Visa, the San Francisco-based credit card company, in March of 2008.
The same month, former House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., introduced the Credit Card Fair
Fee Act, which would have given merchants the power to negotiate lower fees with credit card companies. The
bill, hostile to the credit card industry, was passed by the committee but never brought to the floor. Pelosi
was speaker at the time, and controlled which legislation came to a vote.
Pelosi
Vs. Boeing — And Jobs. The ex-House Speaker who promised millions of jobs from ObamaCare
says that not creating jobs is better than creating nonunion jobs. But then she also believes unemployment
checks grow the economy.
Top 10 Looniest Liberals: [#2]
Nancy Pelosi: She left a legacy of debt and out-of-control spending during her four years as House
speaker. The arrogance of the Left has rarely been more transparent than when Pelosi uttered these infamous
words about the pending ObamaCare legislation: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what
is in it, away from the fog of controversy."
Proof that Obama is out of his mind: Obama:
Pelosi was 'one of the best' Speakers, will be back in 2013. President Obama on Saturday [10/29/2011]
said Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was a great House Speaker and that she will get that job back after the 2012
elections. "I am biased, but I think Nancy was one of the best Speakers of the House this country ever had,"
Obama said after Pelosi had introduced him at the National Italian American Foundation gala.
Pelosi's
disclosure belated in husband's land deal. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's husband, a real
estate developer and investment banker, stands to make millions of dollars in a previously undisclosed residential
real estate project in California as a partner with the father of a woman Mrs. Pelosi helped become ambassador to
Hungary, records show. Paul F. Pelosi's investment in Russell Ranch is worth at least $5 million and
possibly as much as $25 million in a deal put together by his friend and longtime business associate, Angelo
Tsakopoulos, patriarch of a multimillion-dollar real estate development firm, according to Mrs. Pelosi's latest
personal-disclosure statement.
Pelosi
Supports Occupy Wall Street Movement. House Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said
she supports the growing nationwide Occupy Wall Street movement, which began on the streets of downtown New
York City in mid-September. ... Pelosi added that the failure of TARP, commonly known as the bank bailout, to
add liquidity to the Main Street marketplace is fueling Americans' animosity towards Wall Street.
The Editor says...
TARP was Obama's idea. If it's a failure (and it is), your beef is with him, not the banks!
Solargate
Opens Wide. It turns out a recent recipient of the administration's largesse is from the House of
Pelosi. The green energy scandal keeps picking up speed.
Liberals and Magical Math.
Nancy Pelosi has made what could quite possibly be the most imbecilic utterances ... regarding job creation
and stimulating the economy:
• Unemployment benefits "injects demand into the economy."
• Unemployment benefits "is a job creator."
• "Unemployment insurance, the economists tell us, return $2 for every $1 that is put
out there for unemployment insurance."
• It creates jobs to help reduce the deficit.
• "This is one of the biggest stimuluses to our economy. Economists will tell you this
money is spent quickly. It injects demand into the economy, and is job creating."
• Unemployment insurance "creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name
because, again, it is money that is needed for families to survive, and it is spent. So it has a double
benefit. It helps those who have lost their jobs, but it also is a job creator."
• "It is the biggest bang for the buck when you do food stamps and
unemployment insurance. The biggest bang for the buck."
Nancy Pelosi: 'You
can kiss Medicare goodbye'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi held a mid-morning press conference
Thursday [07/28/2011], sharply denouncing Speaker John Boehner's debt limit plan, which will come up for a vote
later in the day. If Boehner's proposal becomes law, Pelosi said, "You can kiss Medicare goodbye."
'Life on this planet'
about to change. That thoughtful observer of the passing parade, Nancy Pelosi, weighed
in on the "debt ceiling" negotiations the other day: "What we're trying to do is save the world
from the Republican budget. We're trying to save life on this planet as we know it today."
It's always good to have things explained in terms we simpletons can understand.
To [Heck] with You People.
Tom Friedman — who knows a bit about Hezbollah — calls the tea partiers the "Hezbollah faction" of
the GOP bent on taking the country on a "suicide mission." All over the place, conservative
Republicans are "hostage takers" and "terrorists," "terrorists" and "traitors." They want to "end
life as we know it on this planet," says Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi's
Energy Savings Program Evaporates. The House Chief Administrative Office announced Thursday
[8/4/2011] that the Architect of the Capitol's Office will take over the functions of the program that
expanded House recycling and led to thousands of energy-efficient light bulbs being installed on the Hill.
Pelosi's
Reactionary Liberalism. Nancy Pelosi on today's vote: "What we're trying to do is
save the world from the Republican budget. We're trying to save life on this planet as we know it
today." Why? What's so great about life on this planet as we know it today? Let
liberals defend the status quo. We conservatives seek to improve life on this planet.
Pelosi:
'My Work in Politics' Is 'An Extension of My Role as a Mom'. House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that she views her role in politics as an extension of her role as a
mother. ... Pelosi said, "Look, I am a mom and a grandmother. I view my work in politics as
an extension of my role as a mom. There are things we want to do for our children that are
simply beyond us."
An Aristocracy of
Incompetence. [Scroll down] Consider Nancy Pelosi's explanation of her failure to
connect the dots on waterboarding. Despite other committee members' clear recollections of the
disclosure of enhanced interrogation techniques, Ms. Pelosi claims to have heard no such thing at the same
meetings. Deaf, daydreaming, dumb, whatever — incompetence-based explanations are
apparently acceptable; just don't call her a liar. Pelosi was lying, but banking on incompetence,
clearly of the opinion that indefensible lying is a disqualifier but incompetence no problem. Did
Pelosi detail her low standards while campaigning?
Pelosi
Prediction Backfires? Glitches Arise in Health Law. Back in March 2010, then-House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif, uttered the now-famous words, "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in
it, away from the fog of the controversy." Pelosi was talking about the health care law, and it appears
she was right about the fact that it was full of unknowns. It turns out that, due to a glitch in the law,
roughly three million middle-income Americans could wind up on Medicaid — which was designed to
assist the country's poorest citizens.
Pelosi's
wealth grows by 62 percent. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) saw her net worth
rise 62 percent last year, cementing her status as one of the wealthiest members of Congress.
Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year, according to a financial disclosure
report released Wednesday [6/15/2011]. She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets and
about $8.2 milion in liabilities.
Pelosi: Obama Doesn't
Need Congressional Authorization for Libya Action. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
said she is "very protective of congressional prerogative" regarding military action but believes that
President Barack Obama did not need Congress' authorization to take action against Libya and does not need
it today to continue with the operation.
This is the woman who said she was going to
"drain the swamp" — five years ago! Pelosi declines to
call for Weiner's resignation. Amid increasing calls for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, House
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says the decision should be up to the congressman and his New York constituents.
Two days later... Pelosi and
Other Leaders Call on Weiner to Resign. The House Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi, on
Saturday called on Representative Anthony D. Weiner to resign, underscoring the growing concern among
Democrats that his online exchanges with women had become a distraction for the party.
The Editor says...
The article above appeared in the New York Times, and — by the time I looked
for it — was replaced by something less damaging to the Democratic Party. The
excerpt above came from Lucianne dot com.
Capitol
Hill's Other Dirty Laundry. [Democratic New York Rep. Anthony] Weiner's dirty laundry is just the
latest addition to a teeming heap of scandal. To wit: The committee still hasn't issued a final
report into last year's reckless Capitol Hill predator du jour, former Democratic New York Rep. Eric
Massa. He's the notorious creep who serially groped male staffers and subjected interns to "tickle
fights" for months while then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi looked the other way. Then there's Beltway
swamp queen Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters.
Nancy Pelosi, ObamaCare Waiver
Queen. Remember when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got all wound up in March 2010 about the passage
of ObamaCare and told the assembled conventioneers at the National Association of Counties that the bill's
reforms were going to make health care in America "very, very exciting"? To lift "the fog of
controversy" off the legislation, all Congress had to do, she explained, was "pass the bill so that you can
find out what's in it." ... In fact, it was the same for the members of Congress. The marching order
from the White House was to pass the bill post-haste without reading it, without finding out "what's
in it."
Superficiality: A necessary part of
liberal-progressive-socialism. [Scroll down] This combination of presumption and
superficiality was prominently displayed during the Democrat-Socialist Party's ram-rodding Obamacare
through Congress. Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrat-Socialists were unconcerned that hardly
anyone had even read the entire bundle of Obamacare legislation, and that no one could foresee all of its
destructive effects. When asked whether certain aspects of Obamacare are unconstitutional, Mrs.
Pelosi said, in effect, that there are no limits on government power; the Federal government (provided that
it is in the hands of liberal-progressives) can do whatever it deems desirable.
President Obama's
Abuse Of Power. Example #1: The Daily Caller last week reported that nearly half of the
204 waivers to the strictures of ObamaCare granted in April were to constituents that generally
supported the Democratic Party's push to pass the legislation. They included the widely reported
granting of 38 waivers — 20% of the total — to upscale restaurants, night clubs and
hotels in former House Speaker and current Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district, including a
hotel that advertises itself as "four diamond luxury in the heart of city." In addition, 31 waivers
were granted to unions, and 27 to health care or drug companies.
Waive Me. Yes, smack dab in the
middle of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's congressional district, a cluster of San Francisco small businesses is among
the latest recipients of get-out-of-Obamacare passes. As Jamie Dupree of Cox Media Group and Matthew Boyle of The Daily
Caller pointed out this week, there are at least two dozen Bay Area companies — including bars, restaurants, hotels,
tourist shops, real estate and auto firms — that have secured temporary, one-year reprieves from the federal law.
It's the San Francisco Treat that voters didn't foresee until after the bill was rammed down their throats.
Pelosi's
District Gets 20% of Latest ObamaCare Waivers. On the federal level, of course, Former House speaker Nancy
Pelosi was instrumental in securing ObamaCare's passage. And now, for a disproportionate number of businesses in
Pelosi's San Francisco district, ObamaCare is not their problem, not any more. As if having entire states get waivers
wasn't enough of a debacle, now there's this nonsense.
Obamacare
waivers to gourmet restaurants, nightclubs, in Nancy Pelosi's district. Of the 204 new
Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama's administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip
nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's Northern California district.
That's in addition to the 27 new waivers for health care or drug companies and the 31 new union
waivers Obama's Department of Health and Human Services approved.
Restaurants,
Cafes in Pelosi's District Eat Up Health Care Law Waivers. Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district
was the hands-down winner in the latest set of health care law waivers announced by the Obama administration.
More than three dozen businesses with locations in Pelosi's district were granted temporary exemptions from the
law in April, according to information released by the Department of Health and Human Services. The
businesses — mostly restaurants and cafes, with a few upscale hotels and clubs mixed
in — accounted for about 20 percent of all waivers granted last month.
Pelosi Sends Out Pro-Abortion Fundraising Email
for Mother's Day. Nancy Pelosi and democrats are absolutely outraged that Republicans would
dare pass legislation that will ban taxpayer funded abortions. According to democrats, it's the American
taxpayer's obligation to pay for abortion.
Pelosi and Progressive
Neo-Leninism. During the healthcare debate, then-Speaker Pelosi urged fellow Democrats to sacrifice
their careers for the greater good of voting for a measure considered indispensable to the broader range of party
goals. Which of course is exactly what happened. In April 2011, the liberal Americans for Democratic
Action (ADA) released its report on the 2010 Congressional Voting Record in which it stated that "most of the
high-ADA-scoring Democrats (the most enthusiastic backers of a progressive activist agenda) were reelected,
whereas low-ADA-scoring 'moderates' were not."
Compare and Contrast.
Nancy Pelosi, press conference, September 7, 2006: ["][E]ven if [Osama bin Laden] is
caught tomorrow, it is five years too late. He has done more damage the longer he has been out there.
But, in fact, the damage that he has done ... is done. And even to capture him now I don't think makes
us any safer.["] Nancy Pelosi, earlier today [5/2/2011]: ["]The death of Osama
bin Laden marks the most significant development in our fight against al-Qaida. ...["]
2008:
Pelosi blames high gas prices on "oil men in the White House". Back in 2008 Speaker of the
House Nancy Pelosi said, "The price of oil is at the doorstep. Four dollars plus per gallon for oil is
attributed to two oil men in the White House." Oddly enough, Pelosi is now conspicuously silent about
gas prices. No public comments. No press conferences. No interviews.
Pelosi Blamed 'Oil
Men in the White House' for Gas Prices in '08, Now Who's To Blame? Back in 2008 then-House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) knew where she wanted to place the blame for high gas prices. "The
price of oil is at the doorstep — 4 dollars plus per gallon for oil, is attributed to two
oil men in the White House," Pelosi said in a CNN interview on July 17th, 2008. Now that
President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are out of the White House, Pelosi has been
silent on the issue. She has made no public comments on gas prices over the past few months.
Mother Nancy Pelosi.
Many politicians envision themselves in an exalted roll and then act accordingly. Some imagine themselves
as a benevolent father figure, others as a populist folk hero, but the most nausea-inducing usually see themselves
as the savior of mankind. It has become very clear, particularly since she became Speaker of the House, that
Nancy Pelosi sees herself as Mother Teresa, obligated by divine decree to take care of every American.
Nancy
Calls for Kumbaya. Pity poor Nancy Pelosi — the House minority leader is stuck in
the past. Speaking to a college crowd last Friday [4/8/2011], she admonished her audience: "The fact is, is
that elections shouldn't matter as much as they do." Of course not. She just lost one.
Our
Unelected Rulers. Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi says "elections shouldn't matter as much
as they do." Maybe they don't even matter as much as she thinks they do. It seems that
bureaucrats are making our laws.
Touching
Down On Planet Pelosi. The Pelosi Congress spent all the trillions that America couldn't afford,
squandering our children's future on stimulus packages that didn't stimulate and a government takeover of the
nation's health insurance system. Now Pelosi says, "Democrats are in the lead on fiscal soundness" — a
statement that would be a real knee-slapper if it weren't so terrifying in what it reveals of the Democratic Party's
economic policy psychosis.
Pelosi
edits honorary resolution... on Pelosi. The Democratic National Committee wanted to honor
Nancy Pelosi Thursday — but its praise wasn't good enough for the House minority leader.
When the DNC's Resolutions Committee brought up a resolution commemorating Pelosi's years as speaker of the
House, Pelosi's daughter sought to alter the proposal at her mother's behest, adding some of the accomplishments
that the elder Pelosi felt the committee had overlooked.
Pelosi
needles GOP over return of styrofoam cups. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
marked the return of styrofoam cuts in congressional cafeterias by jabbing at the Republican majority in
the House. The top Democrat and former Speaker said that the House will now send 535 more tons of
waste to landfills due to a change in policy under the GOP-held House.
The Editor says...
Wow — 535 tons of styrofoam cups is a lot of cups, considering that they weigh about one gram each. But
really, with all the problems facing this country — many of them caused or exacerbated by Pelosi
herself — this is what she spends her time working on?
The Editor says... SO? If that's what you believe, then don't use those cups. That will leave more for
the rest of us. But really, styrofoam products have been marketed since
1954*, and if
there was anything dangerous about it, we'd all be dead by now. Lots of things cause cancer,
apparently. Get used to it.
Death
Panels And Job Losses. As the head of Medicaid and Medicare services testifies in favor of
ObamaCare, the CBO director says it will destroy 800,000 jobs. ... Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once
famously said that we'd have to pass ObamaCare to see what was in it. She also boasted that the
health care bill would create 4 million jobs — "400,000 of them almost immediately."
Exit, Stage Left. American political
junkies have watched with wonder as former Speaker Nancy Pelosi came unglued over the past few days. It
was one of the most unnerving mental deteriorations ever seen in a major political figure. First there was
the unbelievable moment in her farewell press conference when the Speaker who presided over the greatest expansion
of our national debt in history claimed that "deficit reduction has always been a high priority for us." This
was followed by her bizarre, rambling introduction of John Boehner as the new Speaker, in which she spent twelve
endless minutes praising herself for making history and rattling off ObamaCare talking points.
The anti-Pelosi
vote: When Rep. Nancy Pelosi lost 19 Democrats on Wednesday's [1/5/2011] vote to be House
speaker, it marked the worst showing for a party's nominee in more than 80 years. Mrs. Pelosi won
the support of 173 Democrats, but 18 others voted for someone else and one voted "present." Rep.
John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, won the vote with the support of all 241 Republicans who voted.
173 Extremists.
There is a great fuss about the historically high number of House Democrats — 19 — who voted
against the discredited Nancy Pelosi for speaker. More significant are the 173 who voted for her. You
have to go all the way back to the 1910s and 1920s to find so many defections at the beginning of a new Congress
on a vote for the election of speaker as was seen on Wednesday [1/5/2011].
Nancy
Pelosi makes an ungracious exit. Watching Nancy Pelosi's startlingly inappropriate farewell as House
Speaker, in which she turned what should have been a gracious constitutional ceremony into a blatantly partisan
defiance of the electorate's judgement, I wondered whether her fingers were actually going to have to be peeled off
the Speaker's gavel. She really is a piece of work: unrepentant and self-congatulatory to the end, even
in the face of overwhelming repudiation by the voters.
Nancy Pelosi Might Just Be Insane.
Nancy Pelosi gave her farewell press conference as Speaker yesterday [1/4/2011]. It was full of the expected boasting
about achievements — it's not as if she was going to admit she was the most catastrophic failure of a
Speaker in recent American history, or that her successor faces the incredibly difficult task of repairing the
damage she's done. There wasn't even much chance she would apologize for her dereliction of duty in failing
to prepare a budget for 2011, leading us into the lame-duck roller derby in December. A thank-you to America
for paying vast sums of money to transport her royal family in regal splendor aboard Air Force planes would have
been nice.
Pelosi,
Obama Hawaiian Vacations Come to an End; Taxpayers Left with the Bill. Nancy Pelosi's final
days as Speaker of the House were spent at the exotic Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu
in Kona on the island of Hawaii. Escorted throughout her trip by a mini security motorcade that included
Secret Service and Hawaii County Police officers, Pelosi was seen at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Kailua-Kona,
where she received Communion. Parishioners greeted her warmly, Hawaii Reporter was told.
Two police SUVs were on guard outside the hotel during her week long stay.
Nineteen
Democrats Scorn Pelosi in Speaker Vote. The first vote cast by the 110th Congress
on January 4, 2007 was for election of Speaker of the House. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) won
all 233 Democratic votes (including her own). All 202 Republicans voted for Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio.
Two years later Pelosi secured 255 (including her own), and there was only one Democrat, one Rep. Gutierrez who did
not vote. Minority Leader Boehner received every Republican vote, save for his own and three other Republicans who
didn't vote. By contrast, yesterday's [1/5/2011] vote for Speaker witnessed a total of 20 Democrats —
10 percent of the party caucus — defecting from the Pelosi line.
Speaker Pelosi
Leaves With a Whopper. At her final press conference as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said,
"Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go." The numbers
tell a different story. When the Pelosi Democrats took control of Congress on January 4, 2007, the
national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04. The last day of the 111th Congress and Pelosi's Speakership
on December 22, 2010 the national debt was $13,858,529,371,601.09 — a roughly $5.2 trillion
increase in just four years.
National
debt increased 60% under Speaker Pelosi. There are lots of reasons I will not miss Nancy Pelosi's
extreme left wing speakership. There's Air Pelosi and radical legislation such Cap and Tax and ObamaCare.
But the biggest reason to cheer the end of the ultra-Liberal/Progressive Pelosi Speakership is the national
debt. In the four years that Pelosi was Speaker the national debt increased an unbelievable 60%.
2010: The Year They Came for the
Constitution. [Scroll down] Time after time, when asked about the constitutionality of their
congressional machinations, Democrat legends had a never-ending outbreak of foot-in-mouth disease. No human
being could possibly ascertain whether a bill could be considered constitutional if he or she had never even read
the bill. Yet, over and over again, Democrat Congress members were caught on tape saying exactly that —
that they had not even read the bills they were voting on. This despicable lackadaisical attitude on the part of our
lawmakers came into perfect focus the day a giddy-with-power Nancy Pelosi met with reporters just after she had performed the
legislative-blitzkrieg passage of ObamaCare. Still flush with the thrill of pyrrhic victory, Speaker Pelosi was asked
whether the bill, especially the individual mandate, was constitutional. Her response will be remembered in constitutional
infamy: "Are you serious? Are you serious?"
To congressional
Democrats: Merry Christmas, and thanks for nothing. Dear Pelosi/Reid Congress —
In the words of the monotonously repetitive holiday song, I want to wish you a merry Christmas. What a
distinguished record you have amassed: The stimulus, which added, oh, about $1 trillion to the
deficit and did not, as heralded, either end the recession or drive down unemployment. [And] Obamacare,
which, if it ever takes full effect, will impersonalize and socialize medicine along the lines of the European
model and create government medicine with the regulatory hammer of the Internal Revenue Service and all the
efficiencies of the Postal Service.
Nancy Pelosi: A Ruler of
Fools. [Nancy Pelosi] isn't stupid or ignorant. She is a spin-master, an epic fraud, an
insufferable boor, and a pathological liar. But she isn't dumb. No one could attain her position
while drinking the sociopolitical Kool-Aid she serves up. No, Pelosi isn't stupid or ignorant. She
does, however, credit those characteristics to her constituents. Sadly enough, she's correct.
Otherwise, her seat in Congress wouldn't be so secure. A people's representative respects the
intelligence of the people he or she represents.
Nancy Pelosi:
The Girl in the Plastic Bubble. Being a leftist in America means never needing to actually hear
or grasp what conservatives believe. Many leftists, particularly soon-to-be Minority Leader Pelosi, live
in a plastic bubble.
Pelosi's Blame
Game. Nancy Pelosi kept her job as the leader of House Democrats yesterday, but more than a
fifth of her colleagues voted for Blue Dog moderate Heath Shuler instead. At least one Democrat who
is leaving office in January privately told me that the support for her reminded him of cult followers
refusing to let go of a charismatic but destructive leader.
Pelosi
whines: I didn't get enough attention. As she prepares to relinquish power, Nancy Pelosi
believes not enough attention has been paid to her role as the first woman to hold the post of Speaker
of the House. "I was the first woman speaker," Pelosi tells the New York Times. "It didn't
get that much play."
Pelosi Elected As Minority Leader. Nancy
Pelosi has just been re-elected to the House Democrats' top leadership position, which is now Minority Leader.
In retrospect, it seems obvious that the Democrats would want to retain her dazzling leadership, since she had all
sorts of accomplishments, and even threw a huge party to celebrate them.
Why Democrats don't dump Nancy Pelosi:
Why would politicians who supposedly care above all about public opinion and their own hides stick with an unpopular
leader who just carried them through one of the worst election drubbings in decades?
Pelosi's Troop
Defections. Yesterday [11/10/2010] was an awkward day for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. An
advocate of transparency in government, her office had to bat away questions from reporters about who paid for
a lavish party on Capitol Hill Wednesday that celebrated the "accomplishments of the 111th Congress." She
also faced a growing revolt from within her caucus about her decision to continue as House Minority Leader after
her party's thumping defeat.
Pelosi: 'We Didn't
Lose Because of Me'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has the "overwhelming support" of fellow
Democrats in her bid to become minority leader in the next Congress, and says she's not to blame for the Democrats'
mid-term debacle. "We didn't lose the election because of me," Ms. Pelosi told National Public Radio in an
interview that aired Friday morning [11/12/2010].
Psycho Pelosi. The GOP
successfully nationalized the election by making Mrs. Pelosi the very symbol of limousine liberalism, a leader
who presided over an out-of-control, out-of-touch and arrogant Congress. The Republican slogan was simple
and effective: "Fire Pelosi." In the House, she was the spear point in Mr. Obama's assault on Middle
America, ramming through legislation such as the stimulus, the health care overhaul, "cap-and-trade," financial
regulatory reform and massive spending increases. On Obamacare, Mrs. Pelosi did the heavy legislative
lifting — ensuring that the law established a government-run command-and-control health care economy. She
is the true architect of socialized medicine.
Pelosi Celebrates Accomplishments, Horrified Voters
Not Invited? Nancy Pelosi is having a party to celebrate the accomplishments of the Democrat-controlled
Congress. Although this invitation sounds like a parody from The Onion or the start of a Leno joke, it's
actually true. ... The dethroned Speaker of the House, whose liberal agenda led her party straight into the
defeat, is seemingly still in denial.
Nancy Pelosi to run for minority leader.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to stay in power as minority leader after losing 60 seats and control of
the House — a stunning announcement that sets up combat between her two top lieutenants.
Pelosi
says election not a rejection of agenda, Obama will be two-term president. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, who saw her powerful position taken from her in Tuesday's landslide election, was adamant the day
after Democrats lost 60 seats in the House that the results were not a rejection of the agenda pursued
by President Obama and herself. "Let's understand the message," Pelosi told ABC's Diane Sawyer.
"The message was not, 'I reject the course that you are on.' The message is it didn't go fast enough to
produce jobs."
Black's Law Dictionary, 1990, page 429.
Debt Has Increased
$5 Trillion Since Speaker Pelosi Vowed, 'No New Deficit Spending'. When Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
gave her inaugural address as speaker of the House in 2007, she vowed there would be "no new deficit spending."
Since that day, the national debt has increased by $5 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.
She's
the Boss — The Disturbing Truth About Nancy Pelosi. [Scroll down] In the end
we see someone who claims to be motivated by justice, who claims to be doing the "Lord's work," and who claims
that she stands for ethics and the rule of law turn out to be a corrupt "ends justify the means" politician
who will lie, cheat, and probably worse to get what she wants. Apparently, because she believes that
whatever she is doing is right, anything, regardless of ethical or moral considerations is acceptable where
she and her compatriots are concerned.
The Editor says...
[1/23/2019] I have just been informed by Mrs. Editor that the article immediately above has a broken link.
A quick search reveals that the excerpt shown now appears on this page only.
$200,000
for Capitol Hill Bottled Water? Since Democrat Nancy Pelosi took over the position of Speaker of
the House in January 2007, funding for her office soared 62 percent, from $2.9 million to $4.7 million.
For a single office?! And taxpayers paid an enormous printing bill of $93.76 million, up 212 percent.
(How many copies of the 1,000-plus-page Obamacare bill do you think that bought the feds? In a computer age of
paperless transactions, don't you think they could save a few dollars here by learning what PDF files are?)
Pelosi
Advocates Food Stamps to Help Economy. Seriously. There is a great danger here. What
she's talking about is right out of Karl Marx's socialist playbook. Allegedly a devout Catholic who somehow
manages to get around the Church's stand on baby killing via legalized abortion, she has ignored the
warnings of numerous popes about socialism.
America's Food Stamp Heroine.
Food stamps can lift our economy right out of recession according to the peculiar thinking of House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi. Next thing you know, she'll believe that unemployment insurance will make our economy boom.
Whoops, she believes that, too. Speaker — but obviously not thinker — Pelosi provided
this bizarre analysis Oct. 6 of what the country needs to pull us back to good times.
Nancy's Swamp.
The House Ethics Committee trial of Rep. Charles Rangel of Harlem — originally scheduled for
September — now won't occur until after Election Day ... We're not so naive as to believe that
Charlie's going to get anything other than a wrist slap — if that. But it's pretty clear that
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't going to let this particular pile of dirty laundry be washed in public before
Nov. 2. Her majority is already in dire straits.
Good Riddance
to the Pelosi Era. Speaker Pelosi, more than anyone else, is responsible for the $800 billion
stimulus bill. Placed in charge of boosting the economy by the new president, Pelosi essentially dumped
the contents of her "in" box into legislation. Pretty much everything that any Democratic member of
Congress, big city mayor, or liberal governor had ever asked for was enacted. It was urgent after all.
Pelosi explained that, "Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans
lose their jobs. I don't think we can go fast enough to stop that."
Pelosi's Vote to Adjourn Could Be Her Last
Hurrah. It happened late Wednesday night [9/29/2010], so it didn't get much coverage: Speaker
Nancy Pelosi cast the deciding vote when the House voted, 210-209, to adjourn. That's significant because,
by custom, the speaker ordinarily doesn't vote except on issues of special importance. And because Pelosi, who
has shown impressive ability to deliver Democratic majorities on one tough roll call after another for four years,
was scrambling to prevail on what is ordinarily a routine vote.
So Much for 'Draining the Swamp'.
If Republicans don't recapture the House, Pelosi will likely run — and win — Speaker again. Many of the
conservative Democrats that she fed to the wolves in order to pass Obamacare will have lost their re-elections
and will not be there to oppose her. Her majority will be slimmer, but more leftist.
Pelosi ethics pledge falters.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised four years ago that Democrats would lead "the most honest, most open, most
ethical Congress in history."
Shakedown Street.
Lobbyists all over Washington are privately complaining about getting undue pressure to contribute to House
Democrats, who are frantically dialing for dollars to save their House majority. One of those insiders
has now made available a fascinating tape showing how at least one member may be stepping over ethical lines
in securing money. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi started the unseemly treasure hunt in August when she and
other top leaders wrote members saying: "We need to know your commitment is to maintaining a strong
Democratic majority now" and pleading with them to call "to let us know what you are able to do and when."
Letting Leftists Limit
Language. Make no mistake: Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al. believe in nothing but power.
They are not "socialists." There are no socialists in the world except those in mental institutions or
very young children who have never seen modern political debate in action. The façade of socialism
has always been the same — a phony banner for the acquisition of power. Every brutal thug,
every Hitler or Stalin wannabe, first champions the masses against the despised few who exploit them.
Standing for Freedom Against Pelosi.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent threat to "investigate those opposing the mosque" at Ground Zero is
indicative of how sick our once-free society has become. Clearly her remarks were directed at those of us
who are leading the opposition to the gross offense and humiliation of the Ground Zero Islamic supremacist
mosque. But more than that, it is a direct threat to the 70% of Americans vehemently opposed to the
mosque.
Speaker of the
Institutionalized. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is a national embarrassment with a long
train of gaffes and abuses. ... Pelosi told a San Francisco radio station on Tuesday [8/24/2010] that she wants to know
who's funding those opposed (make that nearly 70 percent of Americans) to building a mega mosque at
Ground Zero.
Stuck on Stupid. Aside from their
general ineptitude, President Barack Obama, New York City Michael Bloomberg, and Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi, three of the most influential politicians in the country, have something else in common: they
are completely and utterly wrong on the Ground Zero Mosque debate.
Recovery Bummer. "There is no
question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have
called for looking into how ... this opposition to the mosque is being funded." — House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, weighing in on the proposed Ground Zero mosque. Boy do I feel silly. I've made a
"political issue" out of the proposed mosque near Ground Zero in two straight columns, and no one has
"funded" me a nickel for it.
Pelosi's
poison. The San Francisco Democrat (actually, San Francisco roots explain a lot) wants to form
up a posse and set off after the evildoers fomenting opposition to the Ground Zero mosque. "There is no
question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some," she told a hometown radio
interview Tuesday. ... Now, if she succeeded in rounding up the obvious suspects, polls suggest she'd have
more than 60 percent of the American public in custody.
A speaker, not a listener.
These can't be easy times for Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But even the prospect of a crushing defeat in November,
and the related recriminations from within her caucus (which probably have already commenced), can't explain
her call for an investigation regarding protests against the building of the Ground Zero Mosque.
Waters charges
taint Pelosi's House. House investigators on Monday [8/9/2010] charged Rep. Maxine Waters with
"improperly" exerting influence to help bail out a bank in which her husband held stock, handing more ammunition
to Republicans eager to blast House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for overseeing a "House of scandal."
From Cordoba to
Marbella. Last summer's town halls quickly morphed into the Tea Party movement and, in turn,
into open rebellion by states and voters alike. Through all of this, the political class, locked in
its parochial self-aggrandizing bubble, sees nothing amiss. Speaker Pelosi called vacationing Congress
back to enact a $26 billion payoff to public service employees and the improvident states, which will
enable them to bankrupt us all.
Drain the swamp.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously promised to "drain the swamp" back in 2006 when Democrats successfully
campaigned against corruption in the Republican-led Congress. She formed the Office of Congressional
Ethics two years later to show that she meant business. Now, the charges filed against Reps. Charles
Rangel of New York and Maxine Waters of California are putting her promises to the ultimate test —
public ethics trials against members of her own party at a time when the GOP is hoping to recapture control
of the House.
Rangel
Scandal Reveals the Extent of Capitol Corruption. Four years ago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
promised to "drain the swamp" of corruption in Washington, D.C., but after failing miserably to do so it now
appears she's choosing to ignore it — while letting her colleagues sweep it under the rug.
The Enablers of Charlie Rangel.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the world's worst cleaning lady. How has she fulfilled her vaunted promise
to "drain the swamp" and preside over the "most ethical Congress in history"? By shrugging her shoulders,
downplaying the gravity of myriad ethics charges against corruptocrat Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel and waiting
for the "political chips" to "fall where they may." Imagine a custodial service that fixed toilet clogs by
letting the overflowing waste and polluted waters "fall where they may."
"Fruit Loop" Nancy's Stimulus. Does Nancy
Pelosi actually expect Americans to believe extending unemployment insurance is the fastest way to create
jobs? Just a reminder: This ridiculous woman is two-short-steps from the presidency.
Nancy claims that handing out unemployment checks to the 10% of the jobless labor force is "one of the
biggest stimulus' to our economy." The Speaker supports such an absurd statement by saying "economists
will tell you this money is spent quickly." Nancy can you name the brilliant, and I use this title
loosely, economist? Wait; let me guess, economic genius Paul Krugman?
Speaker
Pelosi: It's The Senate's Fault. With the Democrats' "recovery summer" not exactly
taking off as they planned, the leadership has begun playing one of Washington's favorite games:
finger-pointing. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., did her part by telling reporters today that
it's all the Senate's fault for not passing all the legislation that her party had rammed through the House.
Democrats
deeming themselves defeated come November. On the first day of July, the House of Representatives
passed a "budget enforcement resolution" that "deemed as passed" a $1.12 trillion budget. ... Pelosi's
spineless minions did not dare pass a real budget, for a real budget would have shown in black and white —
in red ink, actually — just how wildly mismanaged the federal fisc has become. The trio of
President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Pelosi is putting the finishing touches on a one-year
deficit of $1.6 trillion, while setting in motion an expansion of the standing debt to well north
of $14 trillion. This is no mean feat in an era when Democrats themselves denounced George W.
Bush's deficit of a mere $160 billion in 2007.
Dems
in denial. The great Democratic revolution of 2008 is entering its pitiful stage. If
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a guillotine, Robert Gibbs' head would be rolling around in a basket.
His offense? Uttering perhaps the most unassailably accurate statement of his tenure as White House
press secretary: that there is "no doubt" Republicans might take back the House. Theories abound
for why Gibbs would say such a flatly true thing. The simplest is that Gibbs was asked whether the
House is in play on "Meet the Press" and in the flush of the moment slipped up with an honest answer.
A Hapless Administration.
Last week was extraordinary. ... Nancy Pelosi, known for her innovative solutions such as passing major pieces
of legislation without voting on them, announced that the best way to create jobs was to extend unemployment
insurance beyond 99 weeks. The President himself simply reminded the American people that it's all
George Bush's fault, and it will take "some time" before things get better. That should boost the
public's confidence in the economy.
Nancy Pelosi's taxpayer-funded, exorbitantly expensive, eco-friendly
office space. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., recently moved into a new district
office, located in the San Francisco Federal Building. All sorts of reasons were cited for the
move — she'd been in the old office for twenty years; the new office's location is more accessible
for her constituents; she needed more space; the new office is in a "green" building. These
explanations seem reasonable, until you find out how much she's paying for them. ... Speaker Pelosi is
paying $18,736 a month for her lovely new workspace.
Pelosi's
New District Office Costs $18,736 a Month. San Francisco is a high-rent city. Just ask
Nancy Pelosi. The House Speaker's district office in the new federal building in San Francisco costs a
whopping $18,736 a month — the highest rental paid by any member of the House — or,
more precisely, the highest rental paid by taxpayers on behalf of a member of the House.
Pelosi's
new office is House's costliest by far. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has more than quadrupled the
rent on her San Francisco district office, making the $18,736-a-month cost of her new South of Market space
the highest in the House, according to a new report.
Pelosi
offers Democratic example of frugality and responsibility. Roll Call reports on Nancy Pelosi's
decision last year to move her San Francisco district offices to a new building, supposedly because she needs
more security as Speaker of the House. However, something doesn't add up, because she had been Speaker
for almost three years at the time of the move — and her new offices will cost four times as much
as her old suite.
A room with a view.
Pelosi recently moved her office into the new "green" San Francisco federal building, explaining she needed
more space. Why it's an outrage: The move quadrupled her rent to $18,736 a month, making hers the
most expensive congressional district office in America and nearly twice as expensive as any other member's.
Pelosi's Crooked
Catholicism. Few would have guessed it, but Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become quite
the outspoken Catholic. ... But Pelosi's legislative record does not suggest there is any truth to this
spiritual proclamation. She has actually been one of the biggest obstacles to the passing of legislation
supported by Christian doctrine, and it takes only a brief glance at Pelosi's history to deduce that
this speech was just lip service to a group of people that would find such notions agreeable.
Obama and
Pelosi Hijack Christianity. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has decided to follow President Obama's lead in
claiming that God directs her lawmaking, invoking the Bible as her legislative roadmap. If a conservative
Republican did this, it would be the top of the news. Last week, Pelosi made a rambling, redundant, somewhat
incoherent monologue in which she claimed that "The Word" directed her. ... We can't imagine what Bible Speaker
Pelosi is reading. The Bible does not sanction gay marriage or abortion.
Constitution of No.
When a reporter asked House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) during a press conference last year where the
Constitution granted Congress the authority to enact an individual health-insurance mandate, she answered,
"Are you serious? Are you serious?" Speaker Pelosi then dismissed the question and moved on to
the next reporter. This exchange illustrates the way "yes we can" liberals treat the Constitution:
They simply ignore it when it gets in the way of their big-government bailouts and takeovers.
Pelosi:
We'll stop blaming Bush when his problems go away. Democrats will keep blaming George W. Bush
until the problems from his administration end, according to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In an interview with
MSNBC, Pelosi said congressional Democrats feel justified in blaming the Bush administration because of the
problems it left behind for President Barack Obama. Asked if there was a statute of limitations on
blaming Bush, Pelosi said: "Well, it runs out when the problems go away.
The Editor says...
I hope Speaker Pelosi doesn't mind that she and Obama get the blame for the duration of all the
problems they have caused, because that will be a long time.
Are
Democrats defecting from Nancy Pelosi? With 100 seats in play and abysmal congressional approval
ratings, Democrats are starting to wonder aloud if they should continue to support Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi.
Pelosi
blames Bush administration for BP oil spill. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., blamed
the Bush administration for any lack of oversight leading up to the Gulf oil spill. The Obama administration,
on the other hand, is blameless.
Marx, Keynes, Pelosi. [Scroll
down] Keynes has given us a glimpse into the heart of modern progressivism: For now, progress
requires a respect for work, for jobs, for economics. So the left embraces the use of government for
economic ends. But ultimately all of this is for the sake of transcending "pseudo-moral principles" like
precaution. So the left embraces big government while disdaining the need for self-government.
The Speaker Who Won't Speak
with the People. [Scroll down] Whether for banking or health care or — if cap-and-trade
regulations become law — selling a home or choosing what to eat, these transactions will be subject to a
barrage of applications, either filled out by the citizen directly or shuffled upstream to companies supplying the
goods and services we use every day. You like trans fats? Too bad. New York's Bloomberg
regulations are going national.
How ignorant would you have to be to believe this? Speaker
Nancy Pelosi: Democrats reduced taxes to historic low. Congressional Democats are responsible
for the lowest U.S. tax bills in a half-century, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday. Pelosi was
responding to a USA Today report that said Americans' tax bills in 2009 were at their lowest point since the
Truman presidency.
Where are the "separation of church and state" people now? Pelosi Told Catholic Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops
to Push Immigration Reform. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she has told Catholic
cardinals, archbishops and bishops that she wants them to speak from the pulpit for immigration reform and
tell Catholics who oppose it that reform "is a manifestation of our living the gospels."
The Gospel According to Nancy. Despite
global warming, hell might be freezing over, because the very liberal Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is
apparently encouraging the Catholic clergy to campaign for immigration reform from the pulpit during Sunday
mass. Wow. Speaking at the Catholic Community Conference in Washington, Pelosi said: "Cardinals,
the Archbishops, the Bishops come to me and say we want you to pass immigration reform. But I say I want you
to speak about it from the pulpit. ... I want you to instruct ... the people (who) oppose immigration reform
and are sitting in those pews ... that this is a manifestation of our living the Gospels."
The 'Messiah' swaggers down the aisle of church.
We should have known that the moment the UN became involved that Jesus wouldn't be found in church anymore.
Jesus is being squeezed out of the House of God to make way for global warming/climate change proselytizing.
Indeed, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ordered "Social Justice" as the new message she wants heard from the
pulpit.
Pelosi: It's Cheaper to Treat Teens for Drug Use
Than Interdict Drugs at Border. While pointing out that it is the responsibility of the federal
government to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said Thursday [5/6/2010]
it is cheaper to treat teens for drug use than it is to interdict drugs being smuggled across the border.
Cover
girl Pelosi looking rather ... airy in D.C. glossy. If Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears get
flak for airbrushing their photos, why not the speaker of the House? If you haven't managed to score a
copy of the May/June 2010 edition of Capitol File magazine (typically flanked on every table or bathroom at
any D.C. social function) you'll notice the cover girl Nancy Pelosi looking particularly young.
The Editor says...
The article above could easily be dismissed as gossip, were it not for the disingenuousness of it all.
Not only is Ms. Pelosi pretending to be something she is not, this is all just another red herring
deployed to divert attention from the underhanded way Obamacare was foisted upon us all.
Keep reading.
Fancy Nancy. [Scroll down]
It may actually be, if we could measure it, that the photo's impact on the general public is not one of
positive approval, but of stunned amazement. John and Jane Doe, fed up with taxes, unemployment, and
Washington double-think, recognize this for what it is — political spin. We all know Nancy
Pelosi has been around the block a few times and has had some "work" done. So whom do they think they
are kidding? Another new "do" and some pictures are not going to improve her numbers with the public.
Congress Becomes
Madison's "Overbearing Majority". The purpose of this bill is — as Pelosi
put it — to "kick through this door" to prepare the way for even further "reform." But
what does this metaphor even suggest? Who kicks through doors, anyway? It is ordinarily
the police — or even the secret police. Not a constitutional legislative body of the
United States of America. Pelosi's phrase was profoundly aggressive, although perhaps she
used it without complete consciousness of what she might be conveying. But it was no
accident. This is an extraordinary way for a speaker of the House to talk, congruent
with the Democratic Party's newly combative attitude towards the wishes of the American people.
Economics for Dummies. You
probably missed it. But a new school of economics was unveiled last week shortly after health care reform
passed the House of Representatives. Speaker Nancy Pelosi stepped to the podium in the House chamber and
said the legislation will "unleash tremendous entrepreneurial power" and create millions of jobs. "Our
economy needs something new, a jolt," she said. And she and her Democratic colleagues had just delivered
it.
When the Lights Go Down,
It Ain't Pretty. So how did the fixtures' cost drop so quickly and so dramatically?
Because they were made by Durham, N.C.-based Cree Inc., a company whose LED lighting products are heavily
subsidized by the government.
Pelosi sends
chill. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) offered a most disturbing promise to
PBS's Jim Lehrer on Wednesday [3/24/2010], proudly announcing that the methods employed and nearly
employed to force ObamaCare on the American people (formerly the most free people on the planet) would,
from this day forward, serve as her "model for future reforms." Chilling words, indeed.
The
United States Has Been Sold Out And The International Police Have Arrived. The Tea Party,
Patriot and 9/12 movements are supporters of Liberty and the Constitution. They struggle against
Progressive, Social Justice and left-wing ideologues. They want less government and more individual
responsibility without being handicapped by government. Underlying the Tea Party and Patriot protests
is anger against unchecked, corrupt, back-room secret double-dealing government. Hiding his values and
agenda Mr. Obama stealthily campaigned from the center, but he's a full-throated Progressive. His
acolyte Ms. Pelosi mastered triple-speak, a perverse, double-cross form of propaganda.
Coercive Charity
Destroys the Human Spirit. After the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Senate's health
care bill (without changes because they could not craft and pass a bill of their own), House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi proclaimed that the effort reflected American's founding declaration of "life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness." Nothing could be farther [sic] from the truth.
An Historic
Pelosi? I suppose one could interpret the health care bill as "Pelosi's historic achievement," as
the media has been insisting, but that would also mean that an unpopular President and a more unpopular Congress
and a most unpopular Speaker together railroaded through an unpopular, sweeping piece of legislation without a
single opposition vote, and through the sort of tawdry legislative bribery and procedural gimmicks we haven't
seen since the 19th century.
Poll: Low Favorability Ratings
For Pelosi, Reid. [Scroll down] Pelosi and Reid are viewed unfavorably by roughly three
times as many people as they are viewed favorably. Pelosi's favorable rating in the poll stands at 11 percent.
Her unfavorable rating, meanwhile, is 37 percent — meaning that more than one in three views
the California Democrat negatively.
Sunday's socialist
triumph. Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday launched the Democrats' argument for the health care
bill, claiming, "This is an American proposal that honors the traditions of our country." Does that
suggest that opposition is un-American? And what are the traditions that are American that this law
fulfills? The Democrats argue that the bill fulfills the "right" of all Americans to government-assured
health care services. The congressional Democrats claim many other things that a majority of the country
believes to be inconsistent with truth and reality.
House
Speaker Pelosi is teetering on the edge of a cliff and it's a long way down. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi is prepared to sacrifice her members like lambs to the slaughter. Literally. Pelosi
(D-Calif.) is so desperate to get health care passed this week before members take a break that she will
likely employ the "Slaughter Strategy" — a very appropriately named, arrogant abuse of House rules
that would allow members of Pelosi's caucus to simply vote on changes to the Senate bill and "deem" the bill
passed without a member ever having to choose "aye" or "nay."
Stop
kicking in our doors, Madame Speaker. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi used an unexpected analogy Monday
[3/15/2010] during a conference call with liberal bloggers to discuss Obamacare, saying "once we kick through
this door, there'll be more legislation to follow." At least four things need to be said about Pelosi's
braggadocio.
Pelosi's
Comeuppance: Why Democrats May Sack the Speaker. No matter what the outcome of the elections
next November, it is time to consider the possibility that the House of Representatives will have a new speaker
in January 2011. Having made heavy-handedness a hallmark of her leadership style, Nancy Pelosi now appears
well on the way to receiving her comeuppance, if not from her fellow Democrats then from the American people.
We don't need to
pass health care reform to find out what's in it. As you can see, the Senate's Christmas Eve Bill
originated in the House satisfying the Constitutional imperative that tax bills originate there and it gets them
around the ex post facto provision of the Constitution; you and I will be retroactively responsible for
paying the taxes on Obamacare from the January 1 of 2010. (Perhaps, as far back as 1/1/2009.)
Pelosi's
Arrogance Knows No Bounds. Arrogance, contempt and obfuscation in the health care
debate — that's Speaker Pelosi's idea of transparency.
Pelosi's
Republic: If liberal Boomers such as Nancy Pelosi insist on creating government incentives
for a generation of people to be unemployed artists who nonetheless have their health care paid for by
productive members of society, there will be fewer productive members of society.
Nancy Pelosi and the
CIA: Who's Lying Now? Along with her difficulties ramming health care down our throats, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has an ugly, slightly "cobwebbed" credibility issue that is about to get dusted off and
given full, sunlit exposure due to new documents being pried loose by court order. Pelosi's "credibility"
is under scrutiny due to her unusually harsh criticism of the Central Intelligence Agency last year.
Applying Alinsky: Why Obamacare Makes
No Sense. [T]he ordinary American can be excused for being confused, frustrated, and angry.
That's exactly where President Obama, the Chicago political mafia around him, Harry Reid, the Senate Majority
Leader, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi want people to be. At one point in the pointless all-day meeting
on Thursday, she even claimed that passing Obamacare would create four million jobs overnight! Even for
Speaker Pelosi, that's a new level of insane babble.
House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Deficient Cleaning Service: "Maybe it will take a woman to clean up the
House," Nancy Pelosi boasted before the 2006 midterm elections. Looks like those XX chromosomes didn't
give her much advantage over the old cleaning crew. The swamp she was supposed to drain is overflowing.
Draining the Swamp?
Before Rep. Nancy Pelosi became speaker of the House, she promised during the Bush administration that if
voters allowed Democrats to regain a congressional majority Democrats would establish "the most ethical
Congress in history." Pelosi pledged to "drain the swamp" of corruption in Washington. Not only
has the swamp not been drained, Democrats have begun treating it as a hot tub.
Nancy's
dirty house. This is a mess ideally suited for Nancy Pelosi's broom — if it weren't
stashed in a closet alongside President Obama's promises to curtail earmarks drastically and to broadcast
sensitive legislative negotiations. Pelosi pleads for patience for Rangel, who's still being investigated
in many other matters and, after all, has not done "something that jeopardized our country in any way."
This means Rangel will only step down as chairman after exacting the maximum possible political embarrassment.
How
Pelosi will game the Stupak 12. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) has warned that he and other
pro-life Democrats are ready to kill health-care legislation unless the pro-abortion provisions enacted
by the Senate are removed. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi must win their votes to pass her bill.
Pelosi Says She's Running 'Most Ethical' Congress Ever.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) insisted on Friday that she is running the most ethical and honest Congress
in history. At the same time, however, she indicated she will not ask House Ways and Means Chairman Charles
Rangel (D.-N.Y.) to resign his chairmanship — at least for now.
Charlie Rangel ruling puts Nancy Pelosi
in a jam. The House ethics committee's decision to admonish New York Democratic Rep. Charlie
Rangel over improper corporate-sponsored trips to the Caribbean leaves Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the ethics
committee itself facing difficult questions. When then-Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) was
admonished by the ethics committee in October 2004, Pelosi and other Democratic leaders went on the
offensive against him.
The Rangel
swamp: The ethics committee has been investigating [Congressman Charles] Rangel at a glacial
pace for numerous ethical violations, but has yet to rule on other, even more serious, charges. ... This
ethical cloud has hung over Rangel, who runs one of the most powerful committees in Congress, for
18 months. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who promised to preside over the "most honest
and open Congress in history," knows an ethics violation when she sees one. He's "ethically unfit
to lead", she said. Oh, wait, she didn't say that about Rangel. She said that about former
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay when the House ethics committee admonished the Texas Republican in 2004.
Pelosi
Says She's Running Most Ethical Congress Ever, Media Mum. During a Friday [2/26/2010] press
conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she was running the most ethical Congress ever. ... Despite
the absurdity of this remark, CNSNews.com and Fox News were by themselves amongst major press outlets in
finding it newsworthy.
Saying No to Emperor Obama:
It is almost beyond comprehension how Obama could have engineered a failed presidency within the space of
just one year. He got a lot of help from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as mendacious and imperious an
individual to have ever held that office.
Our 'agnostic'
president. It's getting crowded under the bus. Higher income earners need to move
over — here comes everyone else as the president reneges on his only tax the rich
pledge. ... Its ironic that his phrase of the moment is now agnostic. While millions of
American suffer in the recession, he's agnostic to Speaker Pelosi's spending on air travel, booze and
hotel rooms.
Rep.
King: Pelosi should be concerned about upcoming CIA doc dump. The public interest group
Judicial Watch announced on Tuesday [2/2/2010] that a court order issued by the U.S. District Court for the
District of Columbia states the Central Intelligence Agency must give Judicial Watch documents regarding
congressional briefings on "enhanced interrogation techniques" by April 15 of this year. Judicial
Watch is seeking documents detailing CIA briefings involving House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat,
and/or her staff.
The
Incredible Deflation of Barack Obama: [Scroll down] Who could be surprised that the
critical bills — the stimulus program and healthcare — degenerated under a welter of
pork and earmarks that had so outraged the American public in the past? Pelosi benefited from $54 million
to relocate a Bay Area wine train, not to speak of a secret deal with the drug industry lobby to preclude
negotiations on Medicaid drug prices and exclude drug imports from Canada, concessions that had previously
been strongly rejected by Obama.
Obvious Opacity. According
to Nancy Pelosi, campaign promises have one purpose: getting a candidate elected. After voting, a
candidate's word can be shelved like a magician's prop. If the Speaker is to be taken seriously, nothing
Barack Obama said during the presidential campaign holds weight and should be disregarded as roadside rhetoric.
If Pelosi's ruling versus rhetoric conjecture is correct, then it explains the last twelve months.
The
Dog That Was Not Allowed To Bark. On November 7th, 2009, Speaker Pelosi marched to the podium
and paraded her lap dogs to the microphone to proclaim "Victory" for herself, her Democratic House colleagues,
and President Obama. What about every other American? The "Victory" was the passage of the second
part of ObamaCare, "The Health Care Bill." That's right, the second part of ObamaCare is the 1,990 page
bill that created 118 new boards, commissions, offices and bureaus.
Best.
Week. Ever. A supremely aloof and arrogant president whose chief policy idea was to ignore what
Americans wanted on nearly every front was humbled if not humiliated. Nancy Pelosi herself admitted that
the Senate health care bill she darkly promised to ram through Congress "one way or another" was, as of a
couple days later, resolutely non-rammable.
Hey, Speaker
Pelosi, Where Are the Jobs? In August 2003, then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issued a
press statement demanding to know from President Bush, "Where Are the Jobs"? The statement was
released in response to the monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report, which, at that time showed
that over 400,000 Americans had given up looking for work and had left the labor force. It should
be noted that today, every job measurement she cited is worse now than it was in 2003.
No one punished under congressional
ethics rules. Nearly three years after Congress approved sweeping ethics rules to "drain the swamp," as
incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi put it, no member of Congress has been punished for wrongdoing. In that
time, allegations of sexual misconduct and financial impropriety have been lodged against lawmakers.
Pelosi tells C-SPAN: 'There has never been a more open
process'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) defended Congress' work on a healthcare
bill Tuesday [01/05/2010] saying the process has displayed historic transparency, just as C-SPAN mounts an
effort to open the negotiations. ... "We will do what is necessary to pass the bill," Pelosi said.
A Day Off. [Scroll down slowly]
Nancy Pelosi's promise to end the "culture of corruption" in Congress and Barack Obama's promise to run the "most
transparent administration in history" were unadulterated lies. An ominous thought: both of them might
actually believe they're doing just that, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. Such a profound
disconnect from reality is making Americans furious.
Little Miss Sunshine.
Days after becoming the nation's first female Speaker of the House in 2006, Nancy Pelosi pledged to create
"the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history." The statement appears ludicrous now
given Congress' smarmy image, thanks in large part to Pelosi's theatrics on a host of issues.
A
Minority View: Constitutional Contempt. At Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Oct. 29th press
conference, a CNS News reporter asked, "Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant
Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?" Speaker Pelosi responded,
"Are you serious? Are you serious?" The reporter said, "Yes, yes, I am." Not
responding further, Pelosi shook her head and took a question from another reporter.
The
Death of Deliberative Democracy. In 2006, the minority party in Congress issued a dire report
on the "unprecedented erosion of the democratic process." Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter, then the
ranking member of the House Rules Committee, authored the scathing document. She blasted the majority
Republicans' violations of "procedural fairness," short-circuiting of debate, and late-night meetings "to
discourage members and the press from participating" in legislative deliberations. My, how history
repeats itself.
For
Their Next Trick... Look for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
to try to circumvent the traditional conference committee process by which the different versions of health
care reform passed by each house will be reconciled. If so, it will be the latest example of violating
principles of transparency and accountability in the single-minded pursuit of legislative victory.
Pelosi Pledged to Give Public 'Ample Amount of
Time' to Read Final Health Bill. While Nancy Pelosi is now dodging a request from C-SPAN
CEO Brian Lamb to open up House-Senate negotiations over the final version of the health-care bill so
C-SPAN's cameras can show them to the public, back in July she pledged she would give the public an
"ample amount of time" to read the final bill before brining it to a vote.
Four Tactical Steps That Will Defeat Obamacare.
[#1.] Denounce this bill for the lying fraud scheme it is: Just as an example: The Congressional Budget
Office (CBO) "scored" the Pelosi bill to cost $1.055 trillion — far above Barack Obama's $900 billion
ceiling. Pelosi immediately held a press conference and announced her bill would cost $894 billion —
a figure that did not appear in the CBO report and which could be reached only by subtracting projected IRS-administered
penalties from the actual cost.
Pelosi
says Americans could 'absorb' increased deficit if it means more jobs. Americans could be
ready to "absorb" increases to the deficit if it means higher employment, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
said Tuesday [11/24/2009]. As the Congress prepares to put together a new spending package focused
on creating new jobs in the U.S., the Speaker said that while it's a "false choice" to pose the situation
facing lawmakers as a balance between jobs and increased deficits, Americans would rather have jobs.
The Editor says...
This is right down the middle of the fast track to socialism: Paying for make-work jobs with money
borrowed from future taxpayers. Exactly the opposite approach would produce more
employment — reduce government intervention (and taxes) to zero, and full
employment will follow.
Nancy Pelosi spends $2,993 on flowers.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) spent $2,993 in taxpayer money on flowers between June and October.
House Majority Whip James Clyburn has a thing for Chantilly Donuts, spending about $265 at the Virginia shop
in the past quarter. ... Pelosi, who has come under fire in the past for spending on flowers, also spent
roughly $30,610 in food and beverage and about $2,740 on bottled water, contributing to the nearly $120,531
total from all congressional leadership accounts.
The $1.9 Trillion
Gimmick. Any day now, the House is expected to vote on a $210 billion fiscal swindle that
will prevent automatic cuts in Medicare payments to doctors. ... The "doc fix" was originally part of
ObamaCare, until Mrs. Pelosi realized that adding a quarter-trillion dollars to the total tab made it
difficult to pretend the bill would reduce the deficit.
Pelosi
was for three-day "read the bill" rule before she forgot it on Obamacare. There are two ways
to view this video of a 2005 floor speech by then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, condemning
Republican leaders for not allowing members three days to read "a bill of thousands of pages" before voting
on it. The video is posted on Breitbart TV and is well worth watching in the aftermath of Speaker Pelosi's
legislative blitzkreig of the past week to gain passage of her version of Obamacare at all costs.
The Madness of
Queen Nancy. It's one thing to be serene under fire, it's another to be delusional. More
than a few Democrats in Congress are perplexed and worried that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is insisting on
ramming through a 1,900-page health care bill on Saturday [11/7/2009], just days after her party took
heavy losses in Tuesday's elections.
Pelosi's Suicide Pact.
This is likely to be the high-water mark for liberal Democrats. They're likely to lose House seats
next year anyway, and there's no guarantee President Obama will be re-elected. At 69, Pelosi stands
a good chance of facing a death panel before she leads a majority of this size again. Besides, her
seat is in no jeopardy. She comes from a safe ultraliberal district.
Pelosi
Breaks Pledge to Put Final Health Care Bill Online for 72 Hours Before Vote. Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's office tells The Weekly Standard that the speaker will not allow the final language of the
health care to be posted online for 72 hours before bringing the bill to a vote on the House floor,
despite her September 24 statement that she was "absolutely" committed to doing so.
By hook or crook... More on the
post-election ballot question in NY 23. It appears, though it was not widely reported, that
in an effort to prevent Hoffman from being seated should he win, Owens preemptively contested the results,
and the ballots were impounded so the New York Board of elections could not — and did
not — certify the NY 23 election results. This the House knew when Pelosi ordered
Owens sworn in to vote for the atrocious health care reform bill.
The Pelosi Plan.
With Barack Obama as her front man, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — the real power in the Democratic
party — has gone Clinton and Gingrich one better. Clinton tried to hike taxes. Gingrich
sought to cut Medicare. Pelosi wants to do both at once. This is quite a feat: She's combined
the most unpopular Democratic and Republican proposals of the last generation in one piece of legislation.
Pelosi's Kamikazes? Pelosi is
ordering her fearful members to vote for the Obama-cum-Pelosi healthcare "reform" bill that has voters up in
arms all over the country. House Blue Dog "moderates" are already caught in a crossfire between their
constituents and their leadership. The Tea Partyers have been heard, and they are watching carefully.
Old-school corruption.
Before taking control of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, "Democrats intend to lead the most honest,
most open, and most ethical Congress in history." However, with dozens of mostly Democratic lawmakers
and various staff under investigation by the House's twin ethics bodies, the majority clearly values political
power over clean government.
The Worst Bill
Ever. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly told fellow Democrats that she's prepared to lose
seats in 2010 if that's what it takes to pass ObamaCare, and little wonder. The health bill she
unwrapped last Thursday [10/29/2009], which President Obama hailed as a "critical milestone," may well be the worst
piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced. In a rational political world, this 1,990-page
runaway train would have been derailed months ago.
Pelosi Rebuffs
Constitutional Question. [Judge Andrew] Napolitano says Congress has conveniently forgotten
that the federal government was granted specific enumerated powers, limited by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
The power to regulate interstate commerce was intended to keep regular the trade between states and eliminate
unfair in-state advantages. Stretching the interpretation of interstate commerce regulation that Pelosi
and others are attempting to do, and applying it to a very intimate matter like health care is far beyond the
scope of the Commerce Clause.
VAT's The Matter? At least
twice a decade, it seems, desperate politicians latch on to the idea of a VAT as the best way to raise lots of money
for their spending schemes. No wonder. Unlike our current system, a VAT would impose a uniform levy at
each level of production, from raw materials to finished goods, so the revenue potential is huge. Which is
why it keeps coming up in our free-spending Capital.
Lied To Enough Already?
Individuals nationwide, regardless of political allegiance, have taken to the streets this year in opposition to the
radical liberal agenda and assert that we're taxed enough already, but we should also recognize that liberals have lied
to us enough already in regards to the further taxes we oppose. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) continued her
regularly scheduled display of dishonesty during a recent discussion of the value-added tax.
Mrs. Pelosi's VAT.
Candor about taxes is rare in Washington, so when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admits that Democrats may have to impose a huge
new tax on the middle class to fund their spending ambitions, believe her. Speaking with PBS's Charlie Rose on
Monday [10/5/2009], Mrs. Pelosi mused publicly about the rising possibility of enacting a value-added tax, or VAT,
as part of broader tax reform. "Somewhere along the way, a value-added tax plays into this," she said.
The Editor says...
That's a national sales tax, in other words, on top of all our other taxes.
Piracy on Treasure Island.
Politicians with ties to land developers are trying to force the Navy to hand over one of the most valuable pieces of
property in the country for free. The House version of the 2010 Defense authorization bill scheduled for conference
today contains language that would speed the transfer of Naval Station Treasure Island to the city of San Francisco at no
cost. ... A Pelosi spokesman stressed that she did not author the provision, but her involvement is unmistakable.
Thugs, Tea Parties And Treacle.
The unwillingness of the Democratic establishment to defend free markets emboldens the [Pittsburgh] rioters. In
destroying private property and impeding trade, these anarchists prove their aims aren't democratic. They resemble
the mobs of Castro's Cuba who engage in violence against citizens to enforce conformity. The outrage of it all
raises questions about Pelosi's real agenda in her one-sided criticism of tea partiers. By criticizing only
tea partiers and ignoring rampant thugs, she seeks to repress peaceful dissent. With that setup, it's
no surprise that there's a mudslide of violence now rolling down on us from an energized radical left.
Joe Wilson
Raps Pelosi Over Making Bills Available Online. Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) marshaled his newfound celebrity
Friday [9/25/2009] by sending a fundraising letter to Republicans that accuses House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of
failing to post all bills online at least 72 hours prior to votes. Wilson, who rose to notoriety for interrupting
President Obama's health-care address to Congress by yelling "You Lie!," charged Friday that Democratic congressional
leaders "continue to spin and mislead the public" in the contentious debate over health-care reform.
Pelosi Seeks to Make
Health Reform Bill More Liberal. When House leadership brings a final health care bill to the full House
floor, it may be more liberal than moderate House Democrats expected, according to reports. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.) is planning to include in the bill a tax on wealthy Americans, as well as a more robust government-run health
insurance plan (or "public option"), abandoning the compromises leaders in a key committee worked out with the moderate
Blue Dog Democrats, according to Roll Call.
The
Democrats' Hypocrisy. But as every San Franciscan knows, Dan White shot Moscone and Milk because
Moscone would not give him his supervisor's post back and Milk supported Moscone. ... So it is hysterical and
disingenuous for Pelosi to equate tea-party protests with the murders of Moscone and Milk and the riots that
followed. She knows better. She herself said Thursday that people should take "responsibility" for
what they say and any "incitement" their words cause. She owes lawful protesters an apology.
Still Lying. The Speaker of
the House is right. The Bay Area was indeed a mecca of political violence during the 1970s. But the
violence exclusively came from people whose outlook more closely resembled Nancy Pelosi's, not Joe Wilson's.
Pelosi's Pretense: House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi held an "emotional" press conference to caution the rest of us "about the language" we
use. ... It's hard to decide which is more repugnant, her acting ability or her double standard. Madam
Speaker, perhaps you're the one who isn't "balanced."
Pelosi Puts Her Foot In It. Sorry folks,
bigotry is bigotry; doesn't matter if you are white, black, yellow or plaid. Obama is a bigot, Carter is not only
an economic moron, he is also a bigot. Pelosi is biased against heterosexuals and has a rabid bigotry against
Christian white males. In fact the entire tone of her statement indicates that she believes the greatest danger
this country faces is the prototypical angry white male. She is fearful that one of us who has a platform for
our opinion will write or say something derogatory about Obama and one the members of our unstable redneck flock
will sally forth to perform a heinous deed.
Speaker Of Lies.
What did the speaker know, and when did she know it? With CIA documents contradicting Nancy Pelosi's claims
on classified briefings, will a death watch begin on her leadership?
Doubling Down On A Losing Strategy.
You've likely seen the video of Nancy Pelosi ostensibly choking back tears as she warns that violence is on
the way, just as in 1970s San Francisco — one of the oddest analogies we've seen in a long
time. No, she wasn't talking about union thugs, the only people who have actually committed political
violence during the current administration. She was trying to smear and demonize conservatives and
others who have rebelled against the Democrats' radical agenda: government-run health care, bailouts,
trillion dollar deficits, and so on.
They Hate the American We Love.
As militant as this president is, he is not alone in his extremism. The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi
(D-Calif.), a woman two heartbeats away from the presidency herself, is perhaps even more radical than Obama,
if that is possible. Pelosi and her counterpart in the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.),
have thus far done this president's bidding. That may change, especially in the Senate, but one thing is
clear. These people hate the America you and I love, and they will do whatever they can to alter it
forever.
Nancy's Nazis: Nancy Pelosi has a
very florid imagination. In her mind's eye she is seeing people "carrying swastikas" at Town Hall meetings to
protest Obama's Central Plan for American medicine. ... It's a control freak's dream, after all, and the Nazis were
totalitarian control freaks.
Recycling
the contempt. Angry lynch mobs (to hear House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her sidekick Steny Hoyer
tell it) of elderly gents on walking sticks and little blue-haired ladies in their 80s have descended on
congressmen at town meetings across the country — in California, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri,
Maryland, Ohio, Georgia and other places. They're taking out their anger and frustration at the Obama
health care "reform" in the robust American way, but Mrs. Pelosi professes to see "reform" adrift on a
turbulent sea of Nazi swastikas.
Health
care outrage is plenty real. When two of Congress' most powerful Democrats bash disagreeing
citizens as "un-American," you know the hinges have fallen off. Their smug lecture in a USA Today op-ed
piece this week radiates the sanctimonious condescension that is dragging down President Barack Obama's suddenly
human approval ratings. "Health care is complex," professors Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer warn. The
attendant message: Those displeased are stupid; if they were smarter, they would agree with us. This
is an old game for the left. Only they are the smart, virtuous and responsible stewards of the mountains
of taxpayer money that is their lifeblood.
Pelosi:
I'm clueless about cash cut-off. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday [9/16/2009] she is
clueless about an amendment to prohibit government funds for embattled ACORN, although it overwhelmingly
passed the Senate Monday and the White House is calling for the group to be held accountable. "I don't
even know what they passed," Pelosi told The Post yesterday. "What did they do? They defunded it?"
The Theory is Now a Conspiracy —
Part II. The US Constitution has very specific requirements for the office of President and
Vice President and NO federal or state statute supersedes those Article II requirements. The
political Parties and each state Elector is charged with the legal responsibility of vetting and certifying
that the candidates they nominate meet all necessary legal requirements for the office sought. The RNC
has done that, the DNC has NOT, except in the case of Obama's alleged birth place, Hawaii. Where does
this place Nancy Pelosi? In a place of knowing, aiding and abetting?
The Opportunity of a Century.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said one correct thing: health care legislation is our "opportunity, not of a lifetime,
but of the century." Passage of the bill she supports would put us forever on the road to trillions of
dollars in debt, bankruptcy, and European mistakes; defeat of the bill will safeguard the unique American
recipe for liberty and prosperity. Pelosi and her friends would give more control to patients over their
medical care IF the liberals really wanted to improve quality and reduce cost. Instead, they are trying
to push our nation in the opposite direction, taking away control from patients over access and choices for
medical care.
In Case You Had Any Doubts.
The Wall Street Journal editors in a helpful summary make two key points about the newly released CIA documents.
First, Nancy Pelosi did indeed lie. She was briefed on the enhanced interrogation techniques ... And
second, the interrogation techniques worked.
Are Pelosi's lies
impeachable? It is simply implausible that — in the dark days and weeks and months
following 9/11, and the anthrax attacks which actually shut down the Capitol building in which she works —
Pelosi remained unaware of the intelligence community's efforts to prevent further attacks. We are
supposed to believe that Pelosi, as ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, showed such disinterest as
to fail to ask whether EIT's were actually being used and that, as the leader of the Democratic Party in the
House of Representatives, she couldn't find fulfill her responsibilities to discuss such a vital matter with
her own top aide.
Pelosi's Swastika
Claim Is A Crock. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) proclaimed that those attending health
care town hall meetings are "carrying swastikas."
Mr.
President, Americans are not an 'angry mob'. They aren't carrying swastikas, either, contrary to
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rant about the legions of worried citizens who have been standing up in multiple
town halls and congressional forums to demand straight answers from their congressmen about what they are
doing under the guise of "health-care reform." Pelosi's attempt to smear honest citizens as Nazis is only
the most reprehensible manifestation of a White House-directed propaganda campaign to discredit anyone who
disagrees with President Obama's health-care proposal.
'Grassroots'
vs. 'Astroturf': A Pitched Battle Over Health Care. Is the Astroturf always greener on the other
side? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has characterized outspoken protests at town hall meetings on health
care as "astroturf" — or disingenuous grassroots organization by conservative opponents of the
legislation. But President Obama is now calling on his online network of supporters, Organizing for
America (OFA), to get involved in the debate.
Pelosi's plan: wine, dine big donors.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi moves in a rarefied world of high society and high-level politics — and nothing
underscores that fact quite like her plans for the August recess. Pelosi will spend next weekend quietly
tending to top party donors and political allies at a series of private events in Northern California.
Cap Taxes, Trade Congress.
While these Roman throwbacks [in Congress] attempt to save the planet, pagan style, so they can set up their Darwinian
nirvana on earth, the rest of us have enough sense not to try to make the state our church. While we, in the other
America, use reason to guide our decisions, Nancy Pelosi actually seems to think she's the reincarnation of some pagan
goddess on a mission to save the planet. ... Meanwhile, New England has just reported the coldest June on record,
while the Global Warming hoax is revealed as a pile of pure poppycock by more real scientists every single day.
This Congress and their pagan-god delusions have got to go. Has ever a more witless group reigned from on high in
such vainglorious fashion?
Spies, lies and Speaker Pelosi.
The latest kerfuffle has Congressional Democrats accusing the Central Intelligence Agency of having a "secret
plan" to capture or kill al-Qaida leadership. ... Of course, this whole issue has been constructed to protect
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of the most remarkable moonbats ever to appear in American public
life. Back in May, while attempting to chew her way out of a leg-trap set by her left-wing base as to
whether she was aware of waterboarding and enhanced interrogation by the CIA, Pelosi accused the agency of
misleading Congress "all the time."
Pelosi v. CIA. The last time the CIA and
Nancy Pelosi were in the news together, the House Speaker was accusing the agency of lying about its briefings to Congress
on the interrogation of al Qaeda detainees. This week, the Speaker's fellow Democrats are set to block public
disclosure of what Ms. Pelosi was really told and when.
The Democrats' War on our Spies.
The Democrats' war against our spies has taken two new turns. In their zeal to punish Bush
administration officials — and protect House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) from publication
of the facts showing her complicity in then-legal waterboarding of terrorist prisoners — the
Democrats have again accused the CIA of lying.
Another Phony
Scandal. With Speaker Pelosi caught in the web of her own deceit over what the CIA told her
about "torture," and the Obama administration in the middle of its latest 180-degree reversal over CIA
interrogators (Attorney General Holder is now considering prosecutions despite Obama's promise of no
prosecutions), Democrats have trumped up a charge that the CIA, on the orders of Vice President Dick Cheney,
failed to notify Congress that it was contemplating — not implementing, but essentially
brainstorming about — plans to kill or capture top al-Qaeda figures. This is their most
ludicrous gambit in a long time — and that's saying something.
Protecting Pelosi, not
America. President Obama made the hunt for Al-Qaeda a repeated theme of his 2008 election
campaign, scolding Bush for diverting resources from the "real" war on terror. "We will kill bin
Laden," he vowed in the second presidential debate in October. "We will crush Al-Qaeda." So why
the outrage from Schakowsky and her colleagues? It appears that the controversy has less to do with
protecting America than protecting Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
ACES Up Her Sleeve. Well before
Barack Obama brought hope to the White House, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was adamant that something new and different and
wonderful had arrived. In 2006, the incoming Speaker pledged that hers would be the "most honest, most open, and most
ethical Congress in history." At the time, we were skeptical — to say the least. Our refusal to accept
her rhetoric was roundly vindicated last week. That was when Madam-Speaker used every dirty trick at her
disposal to coldly ram a 1,500 page global warming bill through the House of Representatives.
Capping and Trading Away Our
Jobs. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says this is a jobs bill, "Jobs, jobs, jobs." Unfortunately, the
jobs created in alternative energy sources will be more than offset by job losses; and the "millions" of jobs that the
bill is supposed to create can indeed be outsourced. In fact, GE is already importing wind turbines from its plants
in China, Germany and Spain to supply wind farms in the United States.
Democrats Continue to Protect ACORN.
Abraham Lincoln once remarked that "nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's
character, give him power." This week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her liberal colleagues demonstrated
once again that in matters where power may conflict with principle, these liberals will put power first every
time.
GOP
hits Pelosi for mouse funds. The tiny mouse that became a hotly disputed symbol of wasteful
spending in the $787 billion economic stimulus bill has returned to pester House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The Obama administration revealed last week that as much as $16.1 million from the stimulus program is going to
save the San Francisco Bay Area habitat of, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.
Approval
Ratings for Pelosi Hit a New Low. A month after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's showdown with the
CIA over interrogation techniques, just 38 percent of Americans approve of her job performance, while
45 percent disapprove, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released yesterday. That's the
lowest approval rating she has received in the poll.
Pelosi
will profit from Obama-Waxman-Markety cap-and-trade energy bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has
vowed to bring the Obama-Waxman-Markey (OWM) anti-global warming cap-and-trade energy bill to the floor for a
final vote Friday [6/26/2009], which raises an interesting question: How much money will Pelosi make if
the measure becomes law, as seems quite likely? Pelosi, of course, is not the only member of Congress to
own significant shares of energy companies. ... But as House Speaker, Pelosi's ownership of an unknown number
of shares in the Clean Energy Fuels Corp. valued at between $15,000 and $50,000, may deserve particular attention.
Pelosi's Pork Problem. Picture a freight
train roaring down the tracks. Picture House Speaker Nancy Pelosi positioning her party on the rails. Picture a
growing stream of nervous souls diving for the weeds. Picture all this, and you've got a sense of the Democrats'
earmark-corruption problem. This particular choo-choo has the name John Murtha emblazoned on the side, and with
each chug is proving that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
Pelosi 'dressed up' as Gore in China. The
trouble has been well publicized. She was briefed by the CIA on waterboarding when it was first transpiring,
did nothing to object and later told various stories meant to deny her tacit complicity. In short, she lied,
and because of witnesses and documentation, got caught. Reporters loved this story, and it got to where
Pelosi had an increasingly hard time revealing how horrible Republicans were.
Pelosi Censors Republicans. Monday
night [7/13/2009] Democrats voted to shut down the U.S. House Representatives rather than allow a handful of Republican
Congressmen to speak on the floor. What could have been so offensive or frightening about our discourse
that Speaker Pelosi felt she had to protect her party by gagging free speech in the House?
We've
heard this Washington song before. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made history Wednesday [6/17/2009]
by barring Republicans from offering any amendments to spending legislation. This has never been done
before in the entire history of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Time for
Nancy Pelosi to Resign. Bush, Cheney and the CIA protected American lives. Pelosi has attempted to
undermine the credibility of those who kept us safe, in order to save her own job and status. Furthermore, her
behavior flies directly in the face of Obama's promise of a new era of integrity in politics, and he shouldn't stand by
her while she lies. Pelosi needs to step down, or the Obama administration and their allies in the House should
end Pelosi's disgraceful political career.
Pelosi's Chinese Climate Change. Back
when Mrs. Pelosi was a rising liberal star her signature issue was human rights in China. In 1991, she famously
unfurled a pro-democracy banner in Tiananmen Square. During the Clinton Administration, she argued against normalizing
trade relations with China unless linked to human-rights progress. Yet throughout last week's China tour Mrs. Pelosi
said nothing of note about human rights — despite the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre this week.
Speaker Pelosi's Controversial Marxist
Connections: Like the president, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not have to go through a
background investigation in order to get a security clearance. This loophole in the law enables the
president and members of Congress to automatically qualify for security clearances, even if they have
controversial backgrounds and associations, by virtue of the fact that they get elected to high office in
Washington, D.C. In the case of Speaker Pelosi, who is second in the line of succession to the
presidency after the vice president, there is increasing concern about whether she can be trusted with
national security secrets.
Pelosi appeals for
China's help on climate change. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged Beijing on Thursday [5/25/2009] to cooperate on
climate change, calling a safe environment a basic human right. ... "We have so much room for improvement," she said.
"Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory ... of how we are taking responsibility."
Pelosi vs. CIA: Why It
Matters. "Bush lied, people died" became a refrain uttered endlessly by Bush haters. But Bush didn't
lie — and the Democrats know it. Indeed, to extricate herself from Torture-gate, Pelosi now compliments
the CIA, the very agency Bush relied on in making the case for war. But public opinion turned against the war.
Then waterboarding became "torture."
Pelosi's story has lots of
holes in it. This all matters because Pelosi has been leading the charge for a so-called "truth
commission" to probe the means by which the Bush administration convinced itself it was within its moral and
legal bounds in torturing people. As Republicans have sensibly pointed out, that becomes problematic
if you knew about said torture for seven years and said nothing.
Pelosi's Lies Roil Dem
Establishment. Nancy Pelosi was loudly applauded by the liberal media when she became
Speaker of the House. She is one of their own. She's a true believer from the pinkest
precincts of San Francisco. ... Pelosi is up for reelection next year. If her San Francisco voters
understand that she's been lying to them for eight whole years about waterboarding, furious peasants with
pitchforks will be marching up the Castro.
Richard Milhous Pelosi. Pelosi, like Nixon, is
caught in her own web of denials. She knew waterboarding was being employed and did nothing to stop it. Her
continued denials only dig her hole deeper in a failed Watergate-like cover-up, and she knows it. Her body language
in the May 14 press conference, fumbling with papers and flustered stops and starts all betray her intent to mislead.
Pelosi knew about the waterboarding and did nothing to stop it. She is caught between the facts and her own
radicalism in condemning the CIA.
Nervous Nancy. Senior House Democrat
leadership aides say that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believes that members of the Central Intelligence Agency aren't the
only people who have been lying to her. "Since she stepped into the middle of this waterboarding controversy she's
become almost paranoid about her own people," says one leadership aide, who has worked with Pelosi, most recently in
strategizing about House efforts on health care reform.
Pelosi's chickens
home to roost. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is engaged in the fight of her career. The embattled
speaker has resorted to attacking the credibility of the CIA over the extent of their disclosure of enhanced
interrogation tactics, even as her own credibility melts away. The truth of the matter, though, is that
the situation in which Mrs. Pelosi finds herself is one of her own making, and just the latest in a series of
irresponsible political moves.
Pelosi bewildered, but unbothered.
OK, fine. The CIA — gasp! — fibbed, and she fell for it. To me, that is not
the real question, however. To me, the real question is what on earth Pelosi thought the CIA meant when it
said it was using "enhanced interrogation techniques" on detainees. Did Pelosi think the CIA was sending
these men to bed without dinner?
Cheney: Pelosi knew
of interrogations. Accusing President Obama of giving Americans "less than half the truth," former Vice
President Dick Cheney said Thursday [5/21/2009] tough interrogation tactics worked, and said the tactics had the
approval of members of Congress including current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Is Nancy Pelosi a liar or a hypocrite?
If people were legitimately concerned that we were going to be attacked again in 2002, how does Pelosi become
absolved of responsibility but Bush lawyers are guilty of war crimes? We've long known that Pelosi, now
calling for a truth commission to investigate the use of interrogation methods she once condoned, is a
hypocrite. The more pertinent question now is whether she's a liar.
Pelosi should 'fess up.
Down deep she has to realize that she's beginning to look not just foolish, but like others before her who have
refused to admit they've been caught in a misstatement (Washingtonese for a lie). To delay the
inevitable, she's claiming that everyone around her is lying.
The witch hunt has caught the witch.
It's been fascinating to watch perhaps soon to be former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal) dig her political
grave. The first rule of holes is that when you find yourself in one, stop digging. But for her
press conference Thursday, Ms. Pelosi rented a steam shovel.
Why Liberals
Never Lie. Leon Panetta also made clear that the CIA had truthfully, and fully briefed the
speaker as to the techniques used, that she was in attendance, acknowledged the techniques, and had no
problem with them at the time. Thus the history books will say, began the downfall of Nancy Pelosi,
former Speaker of the House.
In
Pelosi flap, whoever is lying must pay. The greatest challenge in absorbing the Nancy Pelosi
story is shelving our personal and political feelings about her. For her supporters, that means
suppressing the instinct to defend her at all costs. For critics, that means suppressing the default
setting of despising her.
Why Pelosi must go. It's
obvious that either Leon Panetta, Obama's head of the CIA, or Nancy Pelosi, his party's Speaker of the House,
has to go. No administration can tolerate a permanent, public civil war between two such high-ranking
officials.
Why Pelosi Should Step Down: To
test how much damage Speaker Pelosi has done to the defense of our nation, ask yourself this: If you
were a young man or woman just starting out today, would you put on a uniform or become an intelligence
officer to defend America, knowing that tomorrow a politician like Nancy Pelosi could decide you were a
criminal? Would you?
Let's Find Out Who's
Lying: Pelosi or CIA. There's nothing to agree or disagree about when it comes to intelligence
officials misleading Congress. Pelosi didn't say she might have misunderstood. She isn't saying
things have changed. As I understand it, she is claiming that intelligence officials lied to her.
That needs to be investigated. If Pelosi was misled, those responsible should step aside. If she
wasn't — if she is pointing at others to avoid taking responsibility for herself — then
she will face loud calls to do so herself.
Pelosi's accusations against
the CIA can no longer be met with silence. He's the man with the silver tongue, "a gift," as he
once called his inspired ability with words. Yet while a heated battle with national security implications
rages around him, President Obama has pushed his mute button. It's been six days since House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi went wiggy and accused the Central Intelligence Agency of repeatedly lying to her and others in
Congress, saying "they mislead us all the time."
She said, he said.
Both Pelosi and Obama are caught between the political necessity of preventing another 9/11 and losing their
jobs or explaining what might have to be done and risk losing their jobs. Kerry was right: "torture
elicits lies." But not in the way he meant.
Systemic Democrat Rot: The
systemic rot within the Democrat Party is obvious to anyone other than the 13 million people on Obama's
campaign email list. ... We got a more recent look at it during the Lewinski scandal of the Clinton years, but
now it has burst upon the political scene again as it is obvious to everyone that the Speaker of the House,
Nancy Pelosi, has been lying about her knowledge and acceptance of "enhanced interrogations." Calls from
any House Democrat that she should step down or be removed are muted or non-existent.
Nancy 'Scooter' Pelosi.
Scooter Libby went to prison for the "outing" of a desk-jockey CIA agent. He forgot conversations. Pelosi
forgets briefings. And the outing of our entire intelligence apparatus by Democrats is OK.
Nancy's Versions:
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is almost certainly not telling the truth about her foreknowledge of EITs —
what the CIA calls "enhanced interrogation techniques" and critics call "torture." To answer the
inevitable question, we turn to recently released CIA records.
Pelosi
in a Pickle. CIA Director Leon Panetta yesterday [5/15/2009] let House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a
fellow Democrat, have it with both barrels. Without naming his one-time House colleague — who,
a day earlier, had charged that Panetta's agency "mislead[s] us all the time" — the CIA chief sent
an agency-wide memo citing "the long tradition in Washington of making political hay out of our business."
Panetta's Pelosi Smackdown.
Our guess is that Nancy Pelosi will come to regret her accusation on Thursday that CIA officials lied to her
about their interrogation of terrorists. It took only a day for the agency to fire back, in the form of a
statement from Director Leon Panetta, a Democrat, an Obama appointee and a long-time California Congressional
colleague of the House Speaker.
Flailing In Quicksand.
The CIA will bite back after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's wild new allegations of a cover-up on terrorist
interrogations. When that truth comes out, she'll lose big. It may be the lie that ensnares her.
The
truth about Nancy Pelosi's lie: Three things are now clear about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
recent comments about what she knew and when she knew it concerning the CIA's use of Enhanced Interrogation
Techniques (EITs), including water-boarding: First, it is no longer possible to doubt that Pelosi knew as
of September 4, 2002 that the CIA included water-boarding among its tools for interrogating high-value
terrorists like al Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah.
Lies And Liars. Last week saw an
unusual number of outright lies from our media and political class. Lies that went virtually
unchallenged. ... Lie #2: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced to the world that she was never
told during a congressional briefing in 2002 that waterboarding or other "enhanced" interrogation techniques were
being used on terrorism suspects.
Masters of deception. Students
of intelligence-gathering will tell you deception and outright lying are essential to the art. Having now reviewed the
controversy over who in Congress knew what about the CIA's use of enhanced interrogation techniques, I have concluded that
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might make a superb intelligence officer. She claims she was utterly unaware of the CIA's
rough treatment of terrorists detained after Sept. 11, 2001. She says this without betraying a hint of deception
or uncertainty.
Dems'
effective one-two punch. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) is the most partisan Democrat in the
House, while her deputy, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), is one of the most bipartisan lawmakers in
the lower chamber, according to a survey conducted by The Hill. The two Democratic leaders have
established a good-cop-bad-cop modus operandi, which may be a key to their effectiveness since taking
control in 2007.
Pelosi Briefed on Use of
Interrogation Tactics in Sept. 2002. ABC News' Rick Klein reports: House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi was briefed on the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" on terrorist suspect Abu Zubaydah in
September 2002, according to a report prepared by the Director of National Intelligence's office and obtained
by ABC News.
Pelosi lied about
interrogation briefing. If a CIA memorandum obtained by Jed Babbin of Human Events is genuine,
then Nancy Pelosi shook her finger in the face of the nation and lied about not being told water boarding was
used.
Pelosi refutes intelligence
memo. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday questioned the accuracy of an intelligence memo that appeared to
conflict with her previous statements that she was not told of waterboarding at a classified briefing she attended in 2002
on CIA interrogation techniques.
Probe Yourselves. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi wants a broad "probe" of Wall Street, much like the 1932 Pecora Commission that led to sweeping bank
reforms. ... Why do this now? Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues are feeling the heat from Tea Party demonstrations
and growing voter anger over the massive waste entailed in the $4 trillion (and rising) stimulus-bailout bonanza.
Again, the Democrats created all this spending. Now, as it proves unpopular, they just walk away from it.
Is Pelosi a War Criminal? Pelosi
is just as guilty as George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, other members of Congress who were briefed in
detail on the CIA interrogation program, the Justice Department lawyers who wrote the opinions and the CIA personnel
who crafted the interrogation program. But none is guilty of any crime if, as it appears, they obeyed the
law as it was written then.
Pelosi's Library Quarantine:
In February, an overzealous law governing lead in products resulted in toys going from store shelves to the
trash heap. Now, confusion over how the rules affect children's books has led some libraries to rope
off kids' sections. Last summer, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) interpreted the 2008
law to include children's books, though exactly what that means is anyone's guess.
Pelosi
Tells Illegal Immigrants That Work Site Raids are Un-American. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently told a
group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families that enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently
practiced, is "un-American." The speaker, condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, referred
to the immigrants she was addressing as "very, very patriotic."
Hillary, Pelosi in la-la-land on
immigration. Last week Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) described the
law-enforcement activities of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as "un-American." Which
triggers the question — since when is enforcing federal law by a federal agency "un-American"? ... Pelosi's
comments reveal just how out of touch she is — like most of her party's leadership —
with most Americans.
Speaker Pelosi's Latest
Move to Regulate the News. While clearly there are serious issues engulfing the newspaper industry, in
San Francisco and elsewhere, the problem isn't one of anti-trust violations. Pelosi has made her feelings known.
She would like a return to the Fairness Doctrine. This is a nose under the tent. Yes, the industry is
changing. It has been for years. But other than perhaps some limits on one company owning too many TV,
radio and newspapers in a single market, the government really should have no role in the business of news.
Pelosi
dodges chance to end automatic pay raises. Congress' automatic pay raises are in little
immediate danger of being scrapped for good, even with the economy slumping and millions of Americans
unemployed.
Liberals
and the Stimulus. Nothing captured quite so perfectly the manic state among those eager for
the passage and implementation of the so-called "stimulus" as the wild remark by Nancy Pelosi, the speaker
of the House, that "every month we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose
their jobs." There are only 300 million Americans in all, among them 75 million under the age
of eighteen and 36 million over the age of sixty-five. The number of employable Americans is thus
somewhere around 190 million. If one were to calculate using Pelosian math, by the end of this
month alone, the United States would be facing an unemployment rate approaching 1,200 percent.
The People Who Can Make or
Break Obama. [#2] Nancy Pelosi: Almost single-handedly Speaker Nancy Pelosi destroyed
President Obama's image as a moderate conciliator. Her pork-a-thon spending bill dressed up as a stimulus
and her decision to exclude Republicans entirely from the legislative process not only revived the Republican
opposition, but needlessly sacrificed the Democrats' appeal to moderate swing voters. Now that her
appetite has been whetted (and it is clear the president has no interest or ability in restraining her), there
is no telling how far to the left she will leap.
Pelosi
throws cold water on weapons ban. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tossed cold water on the prospect of reinstating
the assault weapons ban, highlighting Democrats' reluctance to take on gun issues. Attorney General Eric Holder raised
the prospect Wednesday [2/25/2009] that the administration would push to bring back the ban. But Pelosi (D-Calif.)
indicated on Thursday that he never talked to her. The Speaker gave a flat "no" when asked if she had talked to
administration officials about the ban.
'I am the Speaker of the House'.
When the book is written on Nancy Pelosi's reign as speaker of the House, the thinnest chapter just might turn
out to be: "Bipartisanship and the 111th Congress."
Pope tells Nancy Pelosi life must be
protected. Pope Benedict XVI received Nancy Pelosi, one of the most prominent abortion rights politicians in
America, and told her Wednesday [2/18/2009] that Catholic politicians have a duty to protect life "at all stages of its
development."
Catholic Group Petitions Pope to Excommunicate
Nancy Pelosi. Human Life International (HLI), a Catholic pro-life group based in Front Royal, Va., had a
letter from its Rome office delivered to the Vatican this week, in which it called upon Pope Benedict XVI to "formally
excommunicate" from the Catholic Church House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). The pope met with Pelosi on
Wednesday.
Ten Ways Obama Can Get a Grip:
First, never, ever let Nancy Pelosi carry the ball for the administration. Her contempt for bipartisanship,
political extremism, and inability to defend her own handiwork make her politically toxic. From here on
out President Obama would do well to deliver the legislation he wants, and position himself as a force
for moderation, not the lackey of the speaker.
Pelosi Advocates Greater
Government Investment in Banks. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, describing the U.S. economy
as "dark, darker, darkest," indicated that further nationalization of American banks may be necessary,
although she shied away from using the word "nationalization."
'I am the Speaker of the House'.
To hear her aides and associates tell it, Pelosi entered last week on her best bipartisan behavior, hoping that
billions in tax cuts would be enough to lure six to 10 Republican House members to vote for the $819 billion
stimulus plan. To Republicans, it was a typical Pelosi pose — and they accused her of ramming
one of the biggest spending bills in history down their throats while scaling back President Barack Obama's
tax-cut proposal to fund 40 years' worth of liberal wish-list items.
Pelosi's Abortion Stimulus Package.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) will bring her "Kill the Children" economic stimulus plan to the floor of
the House this week for a likely vote on Thursday [1/29/2009]. On ABC's "This Week" last Sunday, Pelosi
justified the inclusion of expanded federal funding for abortions as part of an economic stimulus plan on the
grounds that reducing the number of children being born would help stimulate the economy.
Nancy Pelosi's neo-eugenics.
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, is no economist, judging by her comments made to ABC's
George Stephanopoulus, in asserting population growth in the US would be a drag on economic growth.
Population growth usually is an economic stimulant, especially in developed countries. It always is a
stimulant in developed democracies with private property rights and free markets. Otherwise we wouldn't
have a consumer society.
Pelosi
Open to Prosecution of Bush Administration Officials. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is receptive to
the idea of prosecuting some Bush administration officials, while letting others who are accused of misdeeds
leave office without prosecution, she told Chris Wallace in an interview on "FOX News Sunday." "I think
you look at each item and see what is a violation of the law and do we even have a right to ignore it," the
California Democrat said.
The
honeymoon ends promptly at noon. So far [the Obama] administration looks more like a Clinton
Restoration than anything anticipated by the embittered cult on the far fringes of the nutcake left.
That's better than some of us expected. But Nancy Pelosi, the dowager queen of the San Francisco
Democrats, and some of her congressional acolytes still dream of resurrecting Nuremberg and putting
George W. and Dick Cheney in the dock, like Hermann Goering.
Pelosi's Toy Story: Under a
new law set to go into effect February 10, unsold toys, along with bikes, books and even children's
clothing are destined for the scrap heap due to an overzealous law to increase toy safety. The damage
comes from new rules governing lead in children's products. After last year's scare over contaminated
toys made in China, Congress leapt in to require all products aimed at children under 12 years old to be
certified as safe and virtually lead-free by independent testing.
House re-elects
Nancy Pelosi as speaker. The woman who made history two years ago by becoming the first female
speaker of the House has been re-elected to that post. House colleagues today [1/6/2009] chose Nancy
Pelosi to continue as speaker.
The
Pelosi Doctrine: What's good for her is good for the U.S. President-elect Barack Obama
meets today with Democratic congressional leaders to discuss their forthcoming economic stimulus package.
On Wednesday a Democrats-only committee hearing will convene to push for congressional action before Obama's
January 20 inauguration. Thus advances a sham economic stimulus bill via a sham legislative process.
Pelosi Erases Gingrich's Long-Standing
Fairness Rules. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that
the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation. Pelosi's proposals are so
draconian, and will so polarize the Capitol, that any thought President-elect Obama has of bipartisan
cooperation will be rendered impossible before he even takes office.
The Pelosi Record: Ms. Pelosi likes to
thunder against "the failures of eight years of the Bush economic policies." The stock market has collapsed, she
hisses, "because of a Republican philosophy of greed, deregulation, and tax cuts." But almost the entire decline
in the economy has come since she picked up the Speaker's gavel. The stock market has decisively voted thumbs-down
on the Pelosi paradigm, with the Dow falling from 12,157 in November 2006 to 8,600 today. And it's not just the
stock market that has imploded. Let's consider the gale of destruction since the Pelosi era began.
Pelosi Defends Rangel.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told NBC's Meredith Vieira in an interview taped Monday [12/8/2008] that Rep. Charles
Rangel should not step down as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Pelosi said she didn't
see "any reason" that Rangel should step down.
If she needs a few reasons, she
should click here.
In Alaska, The Drill Is Gone.
Remember those 68 million acres House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the oil companies had to use or lose?
According to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, they can't drill there either.
Pelosi's Quandary: Jobs or Cross-eyed
Mosquitoes? Until now, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been adamant in insisting that funds from a $25B package
intended for making automobiles more environmentally friendly NOT be used to help bail out the auto industry.
With her crazy liberal perspective, Pelosi has consistently favored the needs of insects and polar bears over
hard-working Americans who need jobs.
Nationalizing Detroit: In
the Washington mind, there are two kinds of private companies. There are successful if "greedy"
corporations, which can always afford to pay more taxes and tolerate more regulation. And then there are
the corporate supplicants that need a handout. As the Detroit auto makers are proving, you can go from
being the first to the second in the blink of an election.
The Editor says...
Aren't these corporate bailouts exactly what Obama's supporters thought they were voting against?
Pelosi censors poster of
troops. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-S.F., has done something worse than commit a crime against the
First Amendment. The speaker's censorship of nonobtrusive posters featuring men and women who gave that last
full measure of devotion in service to their country is a blunder that could alienate 23 million veterans and
their families from the Democratic Party. If she is endowed with a crumb of constitutional or political sense,
she will reverse course.
Pelosi paid
husband with PAC funds. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her
political action committee to her husband's real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice
of paying a spouse with political donations that she supported banning last year. Financial Leasing
Services Inc. (FLS), owned by Paul F. Pelosi, has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting
fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history.
House Speaker Pelosi Used Political Donations
to Pay Husband's Firm. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid her husband's real estate and investment
firm nearly $100,000 from her political action committee over the past decade, a practice that she voted to
ban last year and that her party condemned as part of the "culture of corruption" when Republicans did it.
A failure to lead.
"For six years, Pelosi served on the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (the Ethics Committee)."
Six years later, what do we have? Indicted Louisiana Democratic Rep. William Jefferson, who maintains his
House seat in the middle of a corruption trial, without so much as a reprimand from Mrs. Pelosi. Neither
did she issue a single admonition to Rep. Charles Rangel, New York Democrat and Ways and Means Committee
chairman, for his apparent failure to pay income taxes.
Democrats Fumble Ball On
Energy. In a letter just this week to House Republican leader John Boehner, Pelosi touted an
extensive record of energy success. But a look at Pelosi's "record" shows it to be pretty pathetic.
She and congressional Democrats have pursued energy "price-gougers," even though more than 17 studies have
shown the practice is virtually nonexistent; they've punished "Big Oil" with higher taxes, while handing
subsidies to alternative energy; and they've sought to punish "market manipulators." None of these
ideas work.
The
drilling bill that bans drilling. This bill permanently bans all drilling within 50 miles
of the US coast, which just happens to be where most of the recoverable oil and gas reserves are. It
permits drilling between 50 and 100 miles out only if the adjoining states agree — which
they won't, since the bill denies them any share in the royalties the oil companies would have to pay, thereby
eliminating any financial incentive for a state to say yes. Virtually all the oil off the California
coast and beneath the Eastern Gulf of Mexico would be locked up for good.
The Glories of
Socialism. Nancy Pelosi said a few weeks ago that we should nationalize the oil
companies. Well, Hugo Chavez has already done that and perhaps we should examine the results.
New
Evidence of Nancy Pelosi Associate Supporting Chavez, Marxists, & Terrorists. A Colombian
associate of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is once again linked to FARC terrorists and Marxist
Dictator Hugo Chavez with the revelation of damning new messages concerning Colombian Senator Piedad
Córdoba that are currently being investigated by Colombian military officials. Once again we
have a powerful American politician, this one the Speaker of the House of Representatives, linked
to those attempting to institute Marxist regimes to our South.
Pelosi's
Energy Stonewall: Democrats appear ready to sacrifice their whole agenda, even spending, rather
than allow new domestic energy production. Or even a mere debate about energy. The Democratic
leadership is stonewalling any measure that might possibly relax the Congressional ban on offshore drilling.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid know that they would lose if a vote ever came to the floor, and they're desperate
to suppress an insurrection among those Democrats who are pragmatic about one of the top economic issues.
The
21st century Boston Tea Party. On Aug. 1, Speaker Nancy Pelosi — without addressing
gas prices that continue to hover near $4 per gallon — adjourned Congress for five weeks, dimmed
the lights, turned off the microphones and C-SPAN cameras and attempted to remove the press and visitors from
the House chamber. Republicans refuse to leave the chamber because the issue is about much more than gas
prices. It is about much more than energy. It is about the U.S. economy, jobs and national
security. It is about who we are as a people.
Where's
the Energy? Locked up, thanks to Speaker Pelosi. With complete disregard to the rights
of the minority party, the Democrat leadership in Congress will not allow a vote on drilling for America's
vast domestic resources. Producers have made great strides in minimizing ecological damage. Over
the past 25 years, 7 billion gallons of oil have been pumped to shore, without a single significant
spill. In fact, the last oil spill of any impact from a drilling rig off our shores occurred 37 years
ago. Yet, congressional Democrats refuse to acknowledge these facts, choosing instead to remain beholden
to the fringe environmental extremists who oppose advancement.
Pelosi
looks to load up drilling bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) may be ready to allow a
vote on offshore drilling, but that doesn't mean she's going to make it easy on the Republicans who've been
goading her for weeks on energy. As she announced her willingness to hold a drilling vote Monday night,
she stressed that it would have to be part of a larger energy package. And the contents of that package
might include some items that would be tough for Republicans and the energy industry to swallow….
Pelosi's Ploy: It's
not that we think Pelosi won't let something with the word "drilling" in it come up for a vote. It's just
that it's likely to be stuck in one of those big omnibus bills with all sorts of pork-barrel spending, new
taxes, restrictions on oil use, new economy-damaging limits on global warming gases or plans to tap the
Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower prices — a silly idea most sensible centrist Democrats
are walking away from.
Pelosi's Drilling Ruse:
When Democrats opposed every measure to increase domestic oil production, they angered millions of Americans.
And when they finally tried to claim they were for new drilling by producing two bills that allowed new
drilling only where there was little or no oil, Americans quickly picked up on the scam. On all of the
major issues of the past two years, the Democrats chose to play political gotcha instead of actually govern.
Nancy Pelosi's
Power Recipe: Although 73 percent of Americans favor offshore drilling, Speaker Nancy
Pelosi won't allow the House of Representatives to vote on the Republican bill to lift the drilling ban.
In a recent CNN interview, Pelosi said she has "no plans" to schedule a vote on it because she opposes
drilling in "protected areas." She is contradicting the pledge she made in 2007 at her swearing-in
as speaker: "I accept this gavel in the spirit of partnership, not partisanship, and I look forward
to working with you, [Minority Leader John] Boehner, and the Republicans in Congress for the good of the
American people." What's her excuse for her recent stand?
Pelosi won't limit
vote to offshore drilling. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday firmly rejected the idea of
a House vote solely on the issue of offshore oil drilling, calling it "a hoax on the American people" backed
by oil companies. ... "You want to drill? We want the royalties for the American people, and we want
that to pay for renewable energy resources," the San Francisco Democrat said in an interview for KQED television's
weekly news show, "This Week in Northern California." "We want to connect all that together."
The Editor interjects...
But Ms. Pelosi, those royalties are not yours to give away.
Pelosi's
oil slick. On one hand, what kind of leader would she be if she didn't acknowledge that movement in
public opinion? ... But on the other hand, she hails from California where there's long been a "No way, Jose", or
better yet "No way, San Jose" attitude about off-shore drilling. So she can't just give up on opposing
such drilling without inviting a severe backlash from her constituency.
Pelosi's top five list for
the next president: When the next U.S. president moves into the White House on January 20,
2009, he shouldn't be surprised to get a call from Nancy Pelosi on Capitol Hill with a list of legislative
demands. "End the (Iraq) war, expand health care, create jobs through innovation, rebuild infrastructure
and ensure our energy independence." In that order.
The Editor says...
I don't know what the next president will say in reply, but here's what I would say:
1. We should win the war, not just end it.
2. Socialized medicine is for socialists.
3. Private businesses create jobs through innovation — but only when they can
overcome layers of bureaucratic red tape and huge tax bites.
4. The Constitution says nothing about "infrastructure", so that is up to the 50 states.
5. Energy independence is impossible as long
as Democrats oppose every practical source of energy.
What are the next five items on your list, Nancy?
Pelosi's spatula: Americans
don't think the 110th Congress — the one under the leadership of Democrats Harry Reid in the Senate and Nancy
Pelosi in the House — has much to say for itself. Regardless of the issue, Americans are clearly of the
mind that Congress is shirking its responsibilities. The energy/oil issue is no exception. In fact,
Republicans are more in sync with voters than Democrats.
What
America's Daughters Need To Know About Nancy Pelosi: The Democratic Speaker of the House and
a co-author hired to try to add flavor to bland Beltway establishment oatmeal have penned a self-help book
for "America's daughters" to help them "Know Your Power." It's a dreadfully pedestrian text ("As long
as we recognize the power within us, we will continue to have choices, and we will continue to lead."),
surpassed in its dreadfulness only by the timing of its publication.
The Imperious Nancy
Pelosi. Power is known to do some mighty strange things to otherwise quite normal people.
At this perilous moment in our history, we have given a great deal of power to a kindly Catholic grandmother
named Nancy. And, unfortunately for us little people, it seems to have gone straight to the little
lady's head.
Pelosi:
Drilling in protected areas 'a hoax'. "This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a
hoax, it's an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration" Pelosi said at her weekly
press conference. "It's a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have
produced $4-a-gallon gasoline."
That assertion is easily disproven by looking
at the causes of high oil and
gas prices.
The Drill-Nothing Congress.
The average price for regular gas hit $4 a gallon over the weekend. Gas prices have risen 75% since
Nancy Pelosi took over. Where's the energy independence Democrats promised two years ago?
Blame Democrats for high gas prices. Two
years ago then Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi boldly proclaimed, "Democrats have a common-sense plan to help bring down
skyrocketing gas prices." Since she became speaker of the House, gas prices have skyrocketed from about $2.33 per
gallon to $3.85 as I write this.
Over to You,
Speaker Pelosi. Gas is still at $4 a gallon, but the good news is there's an emerging consensus
on a measure that would help: Drill for more oil here at home. President Bush dropped the
executive ban on offshore oil and natural gas exploration last week, and House GOP leader John Boehner
plans to lead a congressional delegation to Colorado and Alaska to highlight America's abundant energy
resources this week. Polls show more than two-thirds of the public support increased domestic
energy exploration and production. Guess who stands in the way.
Power of one: Pelosi vows
to block offshore drilling vote. A plan to lift the ban on coastal drilling is stalled on Capitol
Hill, for one simple reason: A Californian who opposes President Bush's proposal is calling the shots in the House
of Representatives. Despite growing public support for ending the ban, even in California, Democratic
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she won't allow a vote. "I have no plans to do so," Pelosi said Thursday
[7/17/2008].
Boehner
says majority of Congress wants to drill. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Congress
is ready to lift the ban on offshore drilling but is being blocked by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). "Nancy
Pelosi and the liberals here in the Congress, they worship at the altar radical environmentalism. The
last thing that that group wants is more drilling," said Boehner in an interview with Bloomberg TV Saturday.
Pelosi stands firm against offshore
drilling. Her voice carries considerable weight since, as speaker, Pelosi is in a position to
prevent a vote on expanded drilling from reaching the floor. And she and Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the
majority leader, appear intent on holding the line against calls to approve drilling in areas now off limits.
Pelosi blocks vote on Bush request to lift ban on
offshore oil drilling. A plan to lift the ban on coastal drilling is stalled on Capitol Hill,
for one simple reason: A Californian who opposes President Bush's proposal is calling the shots in the
House of Representatives. Despite growing public support for ending the ban, even in California,
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco said she won't allow the immediate vote the
president wants.
Blunt
blasts Pelosi for not allowing drilling vote. House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) on Sunday [7/20/2008]
strongly criticized Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for not allowing a vote on a measure that would allow
offshore drilling. While acknowledging that Pelosi can prevent such a vote, Blunt said the Democratic
leader would have to live with that decision, which he argued "does not make sense to the American people."
Democrats
target Strategic Petroleum Reserve. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California wants President Bush to tap
millions of barrels of oil stored in underground salt caverns near Lake Charles and Baton Rouge. The West Hackberry
and Bayou Choctaw storage facilities, and two others on the Texas Gulf Coast, make up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, a
federal storage system of more than 706 million gallons of oil to be used in a national emergency.
Feckless To Reckless, Pelosi
Should Resign. Any leader with an energy record as derelict as Speaker Pelosi's ought to step
down. Where she once was just incompetent and irresponsible, she has now — with her latest
scheme to fix oil prices — become dangerous. Despite polls showing Americans in favor of
drilling more oil from America's huge untapped supplies, Pelosi won't allow it. She just wants to empty
our Strategic Petroleum Reserve for a short-term fix to get through Election Day.
This is Not a Drill. [Speaker of
the House Nancy] Pelosi announced that the Democrats also plan to push for "an historic investment in
biofuels, efficiency, conservation and the rest." The "rest" is apparently what she called our
"important and essential" investment in alternative energy. That certainly would be historic: We
would make history by throwing our money away on unproven energy boondoggles that have eaten up untold
billions since the 1960s without producing a single net kilowatt of power while we all starve to death.
The
Democrats' energy policy is hot air. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on "Meet the Press"
Sunday morning [8/24/2008]. Pelosi was asked whether it is proper for her to be investing in natural
gas at the same time she is pushing for a federal program that would require its use. "I'm investing in
something I believe in," Pelosi replied. "I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to
fossil fuels." Natural gas cannot be an alternative to fossil fuels for the simple reason that natural
gas is a fossil fuel.
Pelosi's failure: House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the pot calling the kettle black. On Thursday [7/17/2008], she referred to President Bush
as a "total failure." Yet, the Democrat-led Congress that she captains has even lower poll ratings than
Mr. Bush. In fact, according to the latest AP-Ipsos poll, only 18 percent of Americans approve of
Congress' performance. This is the all-time lowest rating for Congress since Gallup began asking voters to
rate the institution in 1974.
America's
Energy Held Hostage. A recent CNN poll showed more than 73 percent of Americans in favor
of offshore drilling. But the House Speaker can keep the issue from even reaching a vote, and Pelosi
seems bent on just that. "(In California) We learned the hard way that oil and water do not mix on
our coast," she said back in 1996. Pelosi was referring, of course, to the famous Santa Barbara oil
spill of 1969, an event that serves as the Alamo of the anti-drilling cause.
The Editor says...
Nancy Pelosi has gotten a lot of political mileage out of that one oil spill almost 40 years
ago. The Santa Barbara incident was a blowout. Prior to the development of blow-out
preventers, blowouts were common and were referred to
as gushers.* In
other words, there's so much oil and gas out there, it can hardly wait to get out of the ground.
Pelosi's Price:
It's bad enough that Rep. Pelosi refuses to embrace reality, evaluate facts and oversee meaningful debate.
But the hissy fits she throws against President Bush and the Republican minority are worse yet. This is
a sad situation. Pelosi's reaction to Bush's lifting of the ban on offshore drilling is a perfect
example.
Pelosi: 'I'm trying to save the planet'.
After promising fairness and open debate, Pelosi has resorted to hard-nosed parliamentary devices that effectively
bar any chance for Republicans to offer policy alternatives. "I'm trying to save the planet; I'm trying to
save the planet," she says impatiently when questioned. "I will not have this debate trivialized by
their excuse for their failed policy."
Nancy Pelosi Tries to 'Save the Planet'.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will block Republican attempts to lift the moratorium on offshore energy
exploration because, "I'm trying to save the planet." David Rogers at the Politico newspaper reports that
Pelosi, who initially promised an open debate, has now resorted to what he calls hard-nosed parliamentary
devices to block any Republican proposals on offshore oil and gas exploration.
Pelosi's Planet:
If the San Francisco Democrat's magisterial narcissism isn't off-putting enough, her intent should be. She's
saying that her importance to the survival of Earth transcends our system of open government, elections and
power-sharing. Because she's trying to save the world, she can't be challenged and dissent will not be
tolerated. Pelosi's arrogation of power is not unlike that of the monarchs of old who claimed a divine
right to rule.
How's That Minimum Wage Hike Working,
Speaker Pelosi? Since the second leg of the minimum wage hike is about to go into effect, and since
we are in the middle of presidential and congressional election season that has to a great extent focused on the
state of the economy, one cannot help wondering what Speaker Pelosi and the rest of her Democratic cronies have
to say about the success of their "progressive economic agenda."
The Goodwill of Nancy Pelosi:
You'd think after giving credit for American success to America's sworn enemies, the Speaker of the House would back
off from flattering the mullahs. She might even attempt to clarify or correct the record. A mere
"'goodwill' was the wrong term" would have gone a long way. Yet no clarification or correction was issued.
The Democrats' Fairness Doctrine Dilemma:
Congressional Democrats remain silent, acquiescing in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's determination to prevent legislation to
block the reimposition of the so-called Fairness Doctrine. For all their prattling about protecting civil
liberties, none of them — not a single one — has so far signed the discharge petition to
allow the Broadcasters' Freedom Act to be wrested from Pelosi's grip to protect our freedom of speech.
How's That Minimum Wage Hike Working,
Speaker Pelosi? Since the second leg of the minimum wage hike is about to go into effect, and since
we are in the middle of presidential and congressional election season that has to a great extent focused on the
state of the economy, one cannot help wondering what Speaker Pelosi and the rest of her Democratic cronies have
to say about the success of their "progressive economic agenda."
Speaker Pelosi in Ethical Hot Water?
Campaign finance experts say Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have violated federal law by appearing in
a television commercial advocating a response to global warming. Cybercast News reports the ad ran nationwide
between mid-April and May 6. The spot was planned and paid for by Al Gore's Alliance for Climate
Protection. It may be a violation of the McCain-Feingold law that Pelosi enthusiastically supported.
Pelosi's
Wealth Greater Than Other Congressional Leaders. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is
the wealthiest of the top congressional leaders, with total assets valued at somewhere between $30 million
and $131 million, according to federal financial disclosure statements.
Where's the wealth gap? Try Congress.
Together with her husband, Paul, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi owns a vineyard in St. Helena, Calif., valued
at $5 million - $25 million; a town house in Norden, Calif., valued at $1 million - $5 million;
rental property in Napa, Calif., valued at $500,000 - $1 million; and a Wells Fargo bank account
containing $100,000 - $250,000.… Rent from the Napa property totaled $15,000 - $50,000; rental
income from the vineyard totaled $50,001 - $100,000.
House members doing well
despite economic slump. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., one of the wealthiest members of
Congress, and her real estate-magnate husband Paul Pelosi spent between $1 million and $5 million to
buy the home they'd been living in on San Francisco's Broadway. They also own a vineyard in St. Helena,
Calif., worth between $5 million and $25 million and a town house in Norden, Calif., valued between
$1 million and $5 million, according to annual financial disclosures released Monday [6/16/2008].
Madame Speaker has Reality Slap
her in the face in Iraq. It will be hard for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to go back to her Democratic colleagues and
keep declaiming on the House floor about how the surge isn't working in Iraq now that she has been there and seen for herself.
What she saw was buried in an AP report on her trip. Powerline's Paul Mirengoff: "Buried deep in this AP report,
between news of a crackdown on al Qaeda in Mosul and a suicide bombing in Baqouba, is Nancy Pelosi's concession that the
surge is succeeding."
Biblical
Scholars Challenge Pelosi's 'Scripture' Quote. In her April 22 Earth Day news release,
Pelosi said, "The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, 'To minister to the needs of God's creation is an
act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.' … Claude Mariottini, a
professor of Old Testament at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, told Cybercast News Service the passage
not only doesn't exist — it's "fictional." "It is not in the Bible," Mariottini said.
"There is nothing that even approximates that."
Biblical Scholars Challenge Speaker Pelosi's Old Testament
Quote. Biblical scholars are challenging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's continued use of what she characterizes
as a Bible verse to support her push for global warming legislation. … She has quoted the same passage on several other
occasions. But Cybercast News reports several experts say the passage does not exist and does not appear to be a
paraphrase of something similar.
Pelosi's War: The
cowardly start more wars than the courageous. Nancy Pelosi's craven altering of House rules to kill
off Colombia's trade pact brings that danger to the Andes. If war breaks out, her name will be
on it.
Derailing
the Colombian trade pact was political pandering at its worst. The Democratic Party pandered the life out of
the Colombian Free Trade Agreement this week. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi effectively killed the proposal with a deft
parliamentary maneuver that was designed to secure votes from trade protectionists and the executive staff of the AFL-CIO.
The fact that the maneuver may have hurt our relationship with a good trading partner, Colombia, apparently doesn't matter.
Colombians don't vote in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary.
Pelosi plays politics.
Pelosi (D-San Francisco) has done well by her party. The pact is opposed by unions and therefore is opposed by both
Democratic presidential candidates, who are courting labor votes. But because its economic benefits are plain, a vote
would force Sens. Barack Obama of Illinois and Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York to choose between politics and the
national interest. Pelosi's solution: stall.
Petraeus
vs. The Party of Defeat: Thou shalt not speak well of Iraq. That was the commandment
imperiously handed down by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week, in anticipation of General Petraeus and
Ambassador Ryan Crocker's testimony before Congress.
Liberal Meltdown: Speaker Pelosi
complained that antiwar liberals 1) invaded her private space, 2) ticked off her neighbors, 3) set
up "protest camps" outside her home, 4) made her life inconvenient with their antics. Of course, all of
that was fine when they were doing it to President Bush outside his home in Crawford, Texas.
Guns And Butter: A
Primer. Speaker Pelosi says that for the cost of 41 days in Iraq, 10 million children
can receive health insurance for a year. The Constitution says a lot about national defense. It
says nothing about insurance. Cut-and run Democrats argue that it's an either/or proposition.
Better SAVE Than Sorry.
Why would nearly 50 Democrats not allow legislation they co-sponsored to get to the House floor for a vote?
Because their boss, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, doesn't want meaningful immigration reform that protects our borders.
Pelosi's
Bill Could Benefit Husband's Stock Holding. On July 27, 2007, 28 executives of the Thousand Oaks,
Calif., pharmaceutical firm Amgen contributed more than $20,000 to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.)
campaign. On Aug. 2, Pelosi (D-Calif.) reintroduced the Early Treatment for HIV Act, a bill that
could boost Medicaid coverage of HIV-related drugs, including Procrit, which is manufactured by Amgen and
marketed by a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, a firm in which Pelosi's husband owns at least $250,000 in
stock, according to Pelosi's disclosure forms.
Pelosi Won't Divest
Drug Stock, Dismisses Conflict Claim. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) dismissed any notion Thursday
[3/6/2008] that her sponsorship of Medicaid legislation that would likely help her husband's financial holdings in a
pharmaceutical company presented a conflict of interest.
Democrats
Ignore Progress in Iraq. It has been said that there are none so blind as those
who will not see. … That's a perfect description of Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Harry Reid,
both of whom disingenuously state that that there has been no sign of progress in Iraq and
that we are losing the war there and must pull up stakes and run as fast as we can with our
tails between our legs.
Pelosi
hits bottom. Just when you think the dominant left wing of the Democratic Party
has hit rock-bottom, one of their partisans reaches new depths in slandering people who have
an honest difference with them on policy. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hit the gutter on
Thursday [12/13/2007], when she tried to explain why Democrats are losing the budget war to
President Bush.
Pelosi-Rangel
Really Is "Mother of all Tax Hikes". The very last thing families need is to see more of their
paycheck confiscated by Congress. Unfortunately, the U.S. House that already has passed $100 billion
in tax increases this year to pay for bigger government and wasteful pork thinks otherwise.
Pelosi buys
$16,000 worth of flowers. [Rep. Dennis] Hastert didn't bill much official travel last year,
spending only about $1,700, while Pelosi racked up many times that at nearly $60,000 — a figure that does not
include her "congressional delegation" journeys to Europe and the Middle East. It does, however, include
many visits to congressional districts.
Lying
to voters carries high price. One California newspaper summed up the Democrat's first session well.
"The D in Democrat stands for Do-Nothing." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hometown paper joined in the
criticism, blasting her for reneging on her party's promise to run a more open Congress. The San
Francisco Chronicle went on to attack Pelosi for forgetting her promises about budget discipline.
Pelosi defends
refusal to put "God" on flag certificates. Dayton-area GOP Rep. Michael Turner and more than
100 of his Republican colleagues sent a letter to Pelosi last week after an Eagle Scout in his district asked
that a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol be sent to his grandfather with a certificate inscribed with the
message: "In honor of my grandfather Marcel Larochelle, and his dedication and love of God, country, and
family." The boy and his father contacted Turner's office after noticing the word "God" was left off the
certificate included with the flag.
Update: Teen helps lift ban on 'God' in
U.S. flag certificates. A 17-year-old Eagle scout wanting to honor his grandfather's "love of
God, country and family" with a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol has helped remove a ban on the word "God" in
certificates that accompany these flags.
Democrats
Playing With Fire. Democrats can have any foreign policy they want — if and when they
are elected to the White House. Until Nancy Pelosi came along, it was understood by all that
we had only one president at a time and — like him or not — he alone had the
Constitutional authority to speak for this country to foreign nations, especially in
wartime. All that Pelosi's trip can accomplish is to advertise American disunity
to a terrorist-sponsoring nation in the Middle East while we are in a war there.
Rep.
Pelosi criticizes border fence. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called a plan to
build fencing along parts of the Mexico border a "terrible idea" that overlooks local
communities. Pelosi made the comments during her trip to the Rio Grande Valley for the
annual Hispanic Engineering, Science & Technology Week conference at the University
of Texas-Pan American.
Party Like It's 1822.
On becoming Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi said the nation wanted "a new vision, a new
America." "New" apparently includes new taxes — by reverting to rules in force 185 years ago.
Speaker Pelosi sends
the wrong message. One of our endearing traits as Americans is that on most issues we seldom
speak with one voice. On the other hand the Constitution makes it pretty clear who is in charge of what.
The last time anyone looked, foreign policy, with the advice and consent of the Congress on treaty matters and
war, is the province of the White House.
Eric The Red Vs. Nancy The
Green. After seeing portions of Greenland's glaciers break off into the North Atlantic, [Nancy]
Pelosi opined: "It wasn't caused by the people of Greenland — it was caused by the behavior of the rest
of the world." Well, judging by the record, she must mean the European Union. Maybe, just maybe,
it was caused by the repeated natural warming and cooling of the earth. And maybe Greenland isn't
melting at all. Icebergs are not a recent phenomenon.
Pelosi:
Just Forget the Word 'Earmark'. The more than 32,000 earmarks requested in the Homeland Security
spending bill have roiled the House this week, and now Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) wants the word 'earmark'
to just go away. In a Tuesday press conference about appropriation bills, Pelosi said, "Why don't we leave
here today forgetting the word earmark?" She said they should be called "legislative directives" instead.
The Pelosicrats' Coup d'Etat: By
the time Nancy Pelosi left for Syria, she had accumulated a hyper-liberal anti-war track record only Cindy
Sheehan could equal. Syria's leaders sensed that they were dealing with a sucker the likes of whom hadn't
been seen in Damascus since Clinton's first Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, visited Daddy Assad.
Pelosi steps out of bounds on ill-conceived
trip to Syria. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi crossed a line this week by visiting Syria, where she
met with President Bashar Assad. She violated a long-held understanding that the United States should
speak with one official voice abroad — even if the country is deeply divided on foreign policy
back home.
Her
$an Fran Treat. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi used her clout to get lawmakers to back a San Francisco
redevelopment project near her multimillion-dollar rental properties, disclosure documents reveal. Pelosi
got House members to authorize $25 million to improve the Embarcadero port area, clearing the way for
cruise-ship-dock development and other improvements to aid the neighborhood's comeback.
Pelosi's
Waterworks: Did Nancy Pelosi do anything wrong when she sponsored a $25 million earmark
for a waterfront-redevelopment project near several properties in which her husband has a financial stake?
It depends on whether she had any reason to believe that the project would cause the values of her husband's
properties to rise.
The Great
Cap-And-Trade Scam: Of all the crazed global warming proposals being put forth by the new masters
of Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Barbara Boxer, chairperson of the Public Works Committee, by far
the worst would be a mandated cap-and-trade program that would supposedly offset carbon dioxide emissions.
Samoan fish politics: House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's push for ethics reform didn't get very far. The California Democrat, who said
she'd clean house, so to speak, apparently thinks her district is exempted from under-the-table deals and
stinky politics.
Nancy
Pelosi May Not Be Only Democrat "Tuna Helper". The largest employer in American Samoa is Del Monte
Foods' StarKist Tuna, home to over 75% of the island's workforce. Del Monte Foods, as it turns out, is
headquartered in the District of the new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Smelling a whiff of
impropriety, House Republicans have thrown up some serious questions about the exemption and who
inserted it into the bill.
FNC Reports Speaker Pelosi's Star-Kist Gap in the Minimum Wage Hike. Over
at The Corner*, Kathryn Jean Lopez
reported GOP Reps. Eric Cantor and Patrick McHenry have found there's a loophole in the new minimum-wage increase: no
hike for American Samoa. Why? Star-Kist Tuna is a major employer there, with its headquarters in
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district. Will the media notice?
Pelosi Creates Global Warming
Committee. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to create a special committee Thursday [1/18/2007]
in an effort to jump-start long-delayed government efforts to deal with global warming and produce a bill by
Independence Day. Pelosi, D-Calif., said the committee would hold hearings and recommend legislation on
how to reduce greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide generated by fossil fuels, that most scientists
blame for a gradual warming of the earth's climate.
The Torch Has Been Passed — to
America-Hating Anarchists. After Nancy Pelosi is sworn in as the new Speaker of the U.S. House
and Harry Reid as Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate, major parts of the American Dream will be shattered.
Some parts of that dream will die. Among the dead parts: The part that is committed to a strong
national defense and victory in the war on terror. The part that loves freedom and less government and
promotes personal responsibility. The part that recognizes capitalism as the greatest hope for all
peoples to escape the yoke of poverty and oppression. The part that holds to the beliefs of our
forefathers in a divine and omnipotent being knows as God.
Cheney
Won't Take Back Pelosi Comment. Vice President Dick Cheney refused Friday to take back his charge
that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's opposition to President Bush's Iraq war buildup is playing into the hands of
the al-Qaida terrorist network. "If you're going to advocate a course of action that basically is
withdrawal of our forces from Iraq, then you don't get to just do the fun part of that, that says, 'We'll,
we're going to get out,' and appeal to your constituents on that basis," Cheney said.
Cheney Remark
Rankles Pelosi. Speaking with ABC News during a visit to Australia, the vice president addressed
the criticism of Pelosi, who earlier this week said that Cheney's remarks were "beneath the dignity of the
debate we're engaged in." She also spoke with White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten to register
her complaint. "She accused me of questioning her patriotism," Cheney said. "I didn't question her
patriotism. I questioned her judgment."
Enter Pelosi, Stage
Left. This morning it is the Iraq war that is the eight-hundred-pound gorilla, [Tom] Mann says.
And the minute he lets this metaphorical cat out of the bag the other people in the room grab it by the horns
and kick it through the goal posts.
Life as normal,
&c. In her opening remarks, Speaker Pelosi said, "This is an historic moment — for the
Congress, and for the women of this country. It is a moment for which we have waited more than
200 years." Pardon me, but is there a single human being who has been waiting for a woman
to be Speaker of the House? One? … I don't see why Nancy Pelosi's being Speaker helps any woman
other than herself, and I don't see why women at large should take pride in her ascendance.
It's estrogen, and plenty of it.
The Democrats finally installed Nancy Pelosi as the speaker of the House yesterday [1/4/2007], and the talk of
Capitol Hill was not about what to do about the war in Iraq, the minimum wage, finding that oxymoron quaintly
called "congressional ethics," or even the prospect of raising congressional pay. Yesterday was all about
celebrating estrogen. … "This is a historic moment for the Congress, and for the women of this
country," Mzz Pelosi told her jubilant partygoers. "It is a moment for which we have waited for more
than 200 years."
[Militant, presumptuous, arrogant feminism has been around for about fifty years, not 200.]
Pelosi Will Bring 'Speaker
Pork' to San Francisco. Tip O'Neill secured down payments for Boston's Big Dig. Sam
Rayburn sent gushers of cash back to Texas, along with tax breaks that helped its oil industry.
Hospitals, schools and nonprofits in Dennis Hastert's hometown of Aurora, Ill., have seen millions roll
in during his reign. Now Rep. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco is poised to follow them as speaker of
the House — a perch predecessors used to channel big cash to pet projects back home.
Speaker-to-be
is no stranger to earmarking. When the House passed a massive spending bill last November,
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi made sure her constituents knew what they were getting. "Pelosi Secures
$115 Million for San Francisco Transportation, Housing, Science and Arts," she proclaimed in a news
release. It wasn't an unusual announcement. Like many of her colleagues in Congress, Pelosi for
years has celebrated bringing home the bacon to her district.
The Pelosi
News Networks. If we rigidly applied truth-in-advertising laws to the national media in their
coverage of the 2006 campaign, we would have first declared that the stuff between the commercials wasn't
"news" as much as a boatload of free infomercial advertising for the Democrats. The news reports should
have led with the sentence, "I'm Nancy Pelosi, and I approved this newscast."
Call
her 'Nancy Shrew'? In just a few short days, House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi has turned into a
caricature of the shrill, petty woman boss. … So if "Nancy Shrew" becomes the image of the highest-ranking
woman ever in American politics — Pelosi will be second in line of succession to the
presidency — it'll be a problem for all women politicos, including 2008 prospect
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).
Pelosi's
First Flop: House Democrats have made several correct judgments about their victory. The
first is that Nancy Pelosi was not its architect and requires little or no deference. If anything, they
won in spite of her, not because of her. … There are reasons to question Pelosi's political judgment, as
Murtha's bungled majority leader bid demonstrates. The fact that Democrats did question it and went their
own way suggests they're not going to march over a cliff behind Pelosi, whose views constitute almost a
caricature of American left-liberalism at its most provincial.
Quo Vadis? Since the results
of Tuesday's election became obvious, Speaker-in-waiting Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly made clear her party's
priorities are: "Jobs, healthcare, education, energy independence, a safer America, a dignified
retirement — that's what the Democrats are all about." What about Iraq?
Answer: The Democrats don't have an easy answer and they have no prescription.
Unindicted co-conspirator as House majority
leader? Incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says she will fight for Rep. John Murtha, an
unindicted co-conspirator in the FBI sting operation Abscam, as the next House majority leader.
Speaker-to-be
is no stranger to earmarking. When the House passed a massive spending bill last November,
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi made sure her constituents knew what they were getting. "Pelosi Secures
$115 Million for San Francisco Transportation, Housing, Science and Arts," she proclaimed in a news
release. It wasn't an unusual announcement. Like many of her colleagues in Congress, Pelosi for
years has celebrated bringing home the bacon to her district.
Desperate Congresswomen of Hysteria Lane.
In the past week, there are 476 documents on Nexis heralding the magnificent achievement of Nancy Pelosi
becoming the FIRST WOMAN speaker of the House. … So in addition to bringing back a cut-and-run national
security strategy, tax-and-spend domestic policy and a no-enforcement immigration policy, the new
Democratic Congress is apparently ushering in a return to feminist milestones.
The Real San
Fran Nancy: When the confetti finally settles at DNC headquarters and the bottles of champagne
run dry, Americans will get a good, hard look at their new leaders. With the House, the Senate, and the
statehouses in their grasp, the country has spoken. But for many voters, lured by the promise of fresh
faces and ideas, the reality may be sobering.
How Pelosi cleans the
House. She's conducting Beltway business as usual, just like the good old boys she demonized
throughout the campaign. (Madame Pelosi just happens to do it in an Armani aqua blue-gray pantsuit
that gets thumbs-up from obsequious Washington fashion writers.) Well, a back-scratching corruptocrat
in pastel is still a back-scratching corruptocrat.
The Nancy I
Knew: [Scroll down…] Impressive ruthlessness, by my lights. But I suspect Pelosi
would never acknowledge the duplicity. She was just as committed to the appearance of pristine
righteousness as she was to her own political success, and assumed she could have both.
If You Thought Impeaching Bush Was a Dead
Issue, Think Again. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told other Democrats there will be no
talk of efforts to impeach President Bush or anyone else, but that won't stop the anti-war left from clamoring
for the President's head this weekend. The liberal group ImpeachPAC has organized more than 50 protests
across the country on Sunday [12/10/2006]…. Democrats as a group may not be pushing the idea but
some individual Democrats are.
Update: Pelosi Slips Impeachment Onto the Table.
As Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich moved a "privileged resolution" to force House to consider the question of
whether President Bush should be impeached for lying to Congress and the American people about the reasons for
invading and occupying Iraq, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi surprised almost everyone by suggesting that the
Judiciary Committee might indeed take up the issue.
Incoming
House intelligence chief botches easy intel quiz. Rep. Silvestre Reyes of Texas, who incoming House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tapped to head the Intelligence Committee when the Democrats take over in January,
failed a quiz of basic questions about al Qaeda and Hezbollah, two of the key terrorist organizations the
intelligence community has focused on since the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Republicans
Name Panel to Investigate 'Stolen House Vote'. According to House Republican Leader John Boehner,
the GOP proposal passed 215-213 on the night of Aug. 2. But Democratic leaders promptly reopened the
vote and allowed several Democrats to change their minds. When Democratic leaders ordered the vote closed
for a second time, the Republican motion was defeated — and taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal
immigrants were restored, Boehner said.
The Democrats will take the economy in a new direction. Down periscope. What kind of
changes does Nancy [Pelosi] have in mind for this engine of prosperity, besides calling it an instrument of the
rich and damning those who depend on its positive returns? Better kill it with taxes, regulations, and
lengthy investigations. Unemployment is at a 25 year low, hovering around 4.5 percent depending
on a few seasonal breaks. How can Nancy and the new Democrats foul this up?
Caught Between
Iraq and a Hard Base. [In late 2006] Democrats had a foolproof plan to gain power: Use
the "disastrous" war in Iraq to split the Republican base off from the center, force Republicans in Congress
to desert the president, defund the war effort, and compel withdrawal. Declaring defeat in advance, and
even embracing it, they tried to cripple the surge before it started. Nancy Pelosi in the House and
Harry Reid in the Senate led a chorus of Democrats who declared the war lost.
Congress frets as its ratings plummet.
"Not only does Congress have an approval rating below bubonic plague and head lice, I saw a recent poll that as
many as 40 percent of people still believe that Congress is in Republican hands," says Rep. Jeb Hensarling
(R) of Texas. "I wish we could get a little accuracy out there about who is in charge — and
let those ratings fall where they may." A recent Gallup Poll confirms what many lawmakers say they're
hearing from their constituents: that confidence in Congress has never been lower.
Congressional
Approval Falls to Single Digits for First Time Ever. The percentage of voters who give Congress
good or excellent ratings has fallen to single digits for the first time in Rasmussen Reports tracking history.
This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Most voters (52%) say Congress is
doing a poor job, which ties the record high in that dubious category. Last month, 11% of voters gave
the legislature good or excellent ratings. Congress has not received higher than a 15% approval rating
since the beginning of 2008.
A job for the right
woman. If there's still room under the bus where Barack Obama throws his discards —
his white granny, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, William Ayres, Bernadine Dohrn and even Hillary
Clinton — that's the right place for Nancy Pelosi. The congressional bailout of Wall Street,
as unpopular as it is, was nevertheless headed for grudging acceptance Monday until Mzz Pelosi, the dowager
queen of the San Francisco Democrats (where there are many queens), killed it with a particularly mean-spirited
attack on the Republicans whom the Democrats were counting on to join them for just this one bipartisan vote.
House
Republicans Blame Pelosi's Speech. House Republicans blamed the failure of the $700 billion
Wall Street rescue plan Monday on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), saying that Pelosi had been too
partisan in a floor speech prior to the vote.
Excerpts from House speaker
Pelosi's speech. Republicans in the US House of Representatives blamed Democratic speaker
Nancy Pelosi for the failed bail-out vote, claiming she made a partisan speech near the end of a debate
on the rescue plan.
Pelosi, the pro-abortion Catholic
It is not possible to play on both sides of this fence. Abortion, or fetal homicide, is
not an option that is approved by the Catholic church. Recently Ms. Pelosi tried to assert
that only recently has there been any controversy over abortion, but that is not the case.
Pope Pelosi at
the Gate. When Democrats decided they wouldn't let the GOP be "God's Only Party," they weren't
kidding. Thanks to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, none other than St. Augustine has been summoned to Denver.
He was resurrected as Pelosi was trying to respond to the question that refuses to die: When does human
life begin? This time, it was Tom Brokaw asking on Sunday's "Meet the Press."
What Makes a
Speaker Catholic? Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, describing herself as an "ardent practicing
Catholic," announced that when life begins "shouldn't have an impact on a woman's right to choose." She
explained that "over the history of the church, this is an issue of controversy." Ignoring both embryology and the Vatican,
she insisted on giving the impression that abortion is somehow an open, undecided question in the Roman
Catholic Church.
Washington
archbishop rips Pelosi on abortion. In a rare public rebuke of a top politician, the
archbishop of Washington said Monday [8/25/2008] that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was incorrect when
she recently said the moment of conception has long been a matter of controversy within the Catholic Church.
Pelosi stands by abortion comments.
Under fire from U.S. Catholic bishops, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not backing off contentious comments
about abortion she made during a weekend television talk show appearance. Pelosi said Sunday [8/24/2008] on
NBC's "Meet the Press" that "doctors of the church" have not been able to define when life begins. That prompted
swift rebukes from Washington Archbishop Donald Wuerl and Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput, who said Pelosi was
incorrect and that Catholic teaching has consistently condemned abortion.
A Huge Embarrassment.
Pelosi's big mouth has ensnared Obama in Catholic abortion issues, and campaign issues from four years ago that
he wanted no part of and wasn't a part of just a week ago. Further, Pelosi's continued gaffes on the subject
have renewed examination of Pelosi's poor standing in the Catholic Church.
Pelosi gets unwanted lesson in Catholic
theology. Politics can be treacherous. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi walked on even
riskier ground in a recent TV interview when she attempted a theological defense of her support for abortion
rights. Roman Catholic bishops consider her arguments on St. Augustine and free will so far out of line
with church teaching that they have issued a steady stream of statements to correct her.
When does life begin?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," said "as an ardent, practicing
Catholic" and someone who has extensively researched church teachings on this issue, she has found church
fathers were unsure when life begins. She further claimed that the Catholic Church has only during
the last 50 years begun to insist that life begins at conception.
Speaker of the House (of
God). As a theologian, Nancy Pelosi is a great politician. This was evident in her
unnecessary foray on "Meet the Press" into the history of Catholic thought about when human life begins.
The San Francisco Democrat's statement "as an ardent, practicing Catholic" that "doctors of the church have
not been able to make that definition" was imprecise and impolitic.
Pelosi
slapped down by Catholic Church — again. It appears the Catholic Church is not about to
let Nancy Pelosi have the last word on abortion. As discussed here yesterday, high Church officials
rebuked Pelosi for her erroneous statements about Catholic abortion doctrine on a Sunday news show;
undeterred, Pelosi had a spokesman announce that she stood by her statements. Wednesday, the
Church made it clear it was standing just as firm.
Catholic
lawmakers decry Pelosi 'error'. Nineteen Roman Catholic Republican members of Congress
have written to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, urging her to "correct the public record" on remarks she
made a week ago on NBC's "Meet the Press" about the Catholic Church's teaching on abortion.
18 months earlier... Pro-Abortion Pelosi Insults the Catholic
Faith. The new speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, is showing what I
consider extreme arrogance, even for a pro-abortion figure in public life who claims to be a faithful
Catholic. Her handlers are making it abundantly clear that anything goes in their effort to showcase
Pelosi and her life story, including the use of a Catholic Mass to cement her public image as a Catholic
mother and grandmother. That, my friend, is a disgrace that I cannot ignore.
Pelosi's
church has not withheld communion. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she, unlike other
Catholic politicians who support abortion rights, has not clashed with her church about receiving
communion. ... Pelosi, a Roman Catholic whose district includes most of San Francisco, said she has
not encountered such difficulties in her church.
Pelosi: God Bless
the Child that's not at Home. The history-making first Madame of the House marketed her recent
three day victory-dance as a celebration of children. … At a trendy afternoon tea with like-minded ladies,
Pelosi reiterated her campaign promise that the 110th Congress would be "all about children." … But just
how does one of the most outspoken advocates for unrestricted abortion in Congress — with a perfect
100% rating from the radical pro-abortion group NARAL, — maintain a straight face when declaring a
concern for children? … Beneath the surface, the Femocrat's broader scheme genuinely is about the
children, albeit hardly as advertised. Rather, it involves the little tykes' removal as obstacles to
the empowerment of ambitious liberal-minded women.
The Gospel, According to the Book of Nancy.
Attempting to defend her support of abortion rights in response to a question posed by Tom Brokaw on "Meet the
Press," Pelosi startled everyone who has ever been, is now, or is even considering becoming a Catholic with
this comment, in part: "I would say that as an ardent, practicing Catholic, this is an issue (abortion)
that I have studied for a long time. And what I know is, over the centuries, the doctors of the church
have not been able to make that definition."
Congressman Calls Pelosi's Abortion
Remarks 'Scandalous'. Anti-abortion advocate Michigan Rep. Thad McCotter blasted House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi Tuesday [8/26/2008] for controversial statements she made over the Catholic Church's
teaching on abortion. In an interview with FOX News, McCotter said Pelosi is "free to join other
faiths" if she disagrees with the church.
Pelosi
'pastor' asks to meet on abortion. San Francisco Archbishop George H. Niederauer, home
bishop to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, released a letter Friday [9/5/2008] saying that local Catholics
are pressuring him to forbid the California Democrat to receive Holy Communion because of her recent
televised remarks favoring abortion.
Air Force Three — Nancy Pelosi's gas-guzzling jet
Nancy Pelosi, as Speaker of the House, is third in line to the Presidency. In this new
position, she has demanded and received a very large Air Force jet to shuttle from Washington to San Francisco
without refueling. (Mustn't stop for fuel — security concerns, you know.)
But isn't that one of the arguments Ms. Pelosi had against Tom Delay — that he
flew around the country in a gas-guzzling jet at the government's expense?
And here's a little detail that is left out of the very few news reports about this story:
the Speaker's jet has a military escort. That means there is at least one more
gas-guzzling jet flying alongside Air Force Three as Ms. Pelosi shuttles from coast to coast.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi Gets Big
Jet. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will have access to an Air Force jet larger than the one used by
her predecessor so she can fly nonstop between Washington and her San Francisco district. Following the
9/11 terrorist attacks, the speaker — who is second in line for the presidency after the vice
president — has been able to use a military aircraft for security reasons. But the jet used by the
previous speaker, Rep. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, was too small to fly to California without refueling.
Pelosi's hard landing. As
this newspaper reported yesterday [2/7/2007], for travels to her home district in San Francisco Mrs. Pelosi
wants the best air accommodations the U.S. military can offer. No wonder: The craft she has reportedly
requested, the Air Force's C-32, seats an entourage of 42, business class, with a state room, entertainment center,
private bed and a fully operational communications center. Its crew numbers 16 and reportedly costs
$15,000 per hour to operate. That's downright presidential.
The
Speaker of the House — Her 747 request and competing publicity. Given that Ms. Pelosi is two
heartbeats from the Presidency, I felt perhaps her request was not unreasonable. That is, until I learned the
following: the plane former Speaker Hastert used is capable of flying 3,700 nautical miles without refueling.
That is well beyond the requirement for a San Francisco to Washington D.C flight. No, that wasn't good enough.
She wanted the larger aircraft. Then I learned that the Speaker had sought a change in the rules that govern
such trips. If anyone other than a spouse rides along he must pay commercial rates. She wanted an exemption
so she could take grandchildren and a larger staff and maybe even lobbyists or financial contributors.
Nancy's New Ride? After cutting
$3.1 billion from the President's budget request to pay for military restructuring efforts, House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) was exposed trying to commandeer an Air Force jet from the Pentagon for routine trips.
An aide to Pelosi's has confirmed that an inquires were made from her office to the Department of Defense to seek
approval for a federally-funded military provided flight approximately 152-miles from Washington, D.C. to
Williamsburg, Virginia for House Democrats' February 3 retreat. The request was made with the intent
of making the jet permanently available to ferry her on a regular basis.
CBS Covers Pelosi Jet Controversy Skipped by Other Networks.
On Wednesday evening [2/7/2007], CBS became the first of the broadcast networks to cover the controversy over
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's efforts to acquire access to a larger jet than what her predecessor used. CBS
Evening News anchor Katie Couric relayed that Pelosi's request for a "big travel upgrade" was coming at a time
when "they're cracking down on congressional perks."
Pelosi's push for jet remains
up in the air. Minority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri called it a "flying Lincoln Bedroom," and
Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, North Carolina Republican, labeled the speaker's plane "Pelosi One." "This
is a bullet point to a larger value — Pelosi's abuse of power continues," Mr. McHenry said yesterday.
"It began when the speaker denied minority rights to Republicans, continued with her 'TunaGate' scandal, and
now she's exploiting America's armed forces and taxpayers for her own personal convenience."
Pentagon limits Pelosi jet size.
The Department of Defense yesterday [2/7/2007] sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that puts limits on the
size of the plane she may use to travel across the country and restricts the guests she can bring, The
Washington Times has learned.
Speaker's
Plane Becomes a Point of Criticism. Republicans said one plane that might be available for the
speaker had a game room, stateroom, entertainment center and bedroom and seated 42 to 50 people. "I
hardly think these amenities help with security, and I personally would describe them as inappropriate and
unnecessary extravagances," said Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, chief deputy Republican whip
and sponsor of the amendment.
Liberals:
A very modest proposal. First off, [Nancy Pelosi] insisted on an upgrade to a larger military jet
than the one her predecessor had. She wanted one with a private bedroom, a kitchen, and room for her
entire family — second cousins included — on a jet that was capable of flying non-stop
from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco. When some people began to question the need she had for this
airborne palace, she insisted that rabble-rousers were only raising a stink because she was a woman. Poor
dear! She had no sooner lifted that marble ceiling all by her wonderful self, and here it came crashing
down on her tiara!
Pelosi's jet request met
with partisan bickering. Most media reports said Pelosi had requested a C-32, a military version
of the Boeing 757-200 that seats 45 passengers and has a crew of up to 16, according to an Air Force Web
site. The Los Angeles Times reported that Pelosi had asked for a C-40, a modified Boeing 737-700 that
seats at least 26 passengers and has a crew of 10, according to the Air Force. The C-20 used by Hastert
is described by the Air Force as a military version of the Gulfstream III, with seating for 12 passengers and
a crew of five.

Controversy
flies around Pelosi's plane request. "It has nothing to do with family and friends and everything
to do about security," Pelosi said yesterday. Still, it's a potential image problem for the first female
speaker — already caricatured for her wealth, love of designer clothes and chocolate obsession — to
be portrayed as thinking she deserves her own Air Force Three. Pelosi and the Defense Department
are discussing letting her fly in a C-32 plane, a military version of the Boeing 757-200.
Only the little people fly commercial. Nancy
Pelosi Demands Big Private Jet. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants taxpayers to finance
a lavish private jet large enough to ferry her and her entourage — including family
members — from coast-to-coast without stopping. Like all members of Congress,
House speakers use commercial flights to travel but Pelosi claims she needs a private U.S.
Air Force jet for security reasons, even during personal travel with her family and
supporters.
Global Warming: What Are You Willing to
Do? How can a believer in man-made global warming be so utterly unconcerned about accelerating
the coming catastrophe? Is the convenience of a non-stop flight more important than helping to prevent
the rising seas from destroying coastal cities? Shouldn't she be arguing against a private jet and
perhaps closing down one of her homes or moving her family within a few blocks of her office? She, of
course, is perfectly willing to champion regulation of others, but, again, I ask, what is she willing to do
personally.
Pelosi
flies disputed military jet home. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the subject of Republican criticism
for her mode of air travel, flew home nonstop Thursday night [2/8/2007] aboard a 12-seat [C-37A] military
aircraft set aside for use by lawmakers. Republican House members, aided by friendly radio and television
talk show hosts, created a political tempest this week, claiming Pelosi was pressuring the Pentagon for the
use of an "Air Force Three" and a "flying Lincoln Bedroom."
In
D.C., non-stop plane talk. Pelosi wants to fly non-stop, which means a bigger plane. Critics
have assailed her request, saying she wants the bigger plane solely so she can have parties at 30,000 feet
with her family and supporters. On Thursday, Pelosi announced at a news conference that she would fly
commercial if the military could not provide a plane with a cross-country-size fuel tank.
House GOP Blasts Pelosi for Plane
Request. A waste of the taxpayers' money, some said, claiming her trips would cost $15 million
a year if she used planes such as the military version of the Boeing 757-200. In its commercial
configuration the 757-200 usually seats 175-190 passengers. Pelosi should lead by example, argued
others, because a bigger plane consumes more fuel and contributes more to the global warming she expresses
concern about. "The jet that Pelosi has produces 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide an hour, far more than
the previous speaker used," said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C.
Jim Webb Pulls a Pelosi. Shortly
after becoming Speaker of the House, Representative Pelosi began a feud with the Pentagon over private air
service for her travel needs to San Francisco. After September 11, 2001, the Department of Defense
provided Speaker of the House, Denny Hastert, a Gulfstream jet to fly back and forth to his constituency.
Speaker Pelosi then blindsided the Pentagon with her insistence that she be granted a Boeing 757 to fly
her friends, family, and staff with her back and forth to San Francisco. According to Senate sources,
Senator Jim Webb is now staging a similar struggle for family travel.
Pelosi Jets
out of Town Leaving Energy Bill Hanging. As Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats jetted out of
town negligently neglecting to deal with the urgent energy situation I'm reminded of the unseemly scandal
over her use of military jets that erupted shortly after she was sworn in as Speaker of the House.

Watch Uncovers Documents Detailing Pelosi's Repeated Requests for Military Travel. Judicial
Watch ... announced today [3/10/2009] that it has obtained documents from the Department of Defense (DOD)
detailing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's multiple requests for military air travel. The documents,
obtained by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), include internal DOD email
correspondence detailing attempts by DOD staff to accommodate Pelosi's numerous requests for military
escorts and military aircraft as well as the speaker's last minute cancellations and changes.
Queen
Nancy: Fly as I Say, Not as I Fly. Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is the
Jennifer Lopez of congressional travel — fickle, demanding and notoriously insensitive to the time, costs
and energy needed to accommodate her endless demands. On Tuesday, the indispensable government watchdog
Judicial Watch released a trove of public records through the Freedom of Information Act on Pelosi's travel
arrangements with the U.S. military.
Revealed:
Pelosi's 'Air Rage'. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has gone from frequent flier to jet-aircraft
connoisseur, with aides berating military officials to get the best planes, e-mails revealed yesterday.
Pelosi, who clashed with the military to get nonstop service when she flies home to California with police
protection on government planes, revealed a particular fondness for Gulfstream's sleek G-5 — a
plane glamorized in Hollywood films and rap videos.
Watchdog Group: Pelosi Takes More
Military Flights Than Hastert. ABC News' Jonathan Karl and Luis Martinez report: Which Speaker
of the House used military aircraft more frequently: Nancy Pelosi or Dennis Hastert? ABC News reported
earlier this week that former aides to Hastert say the former Illinois congressman traveled more frequently on
military aircraft to his district when he was Speaker than the current House Speaker does, but now the watchdog
group Judicial Watch says the records show Pelosi takes more flights.
Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington's "Ten Most Wanted
Corrupt Politicians" for 2009. [Including] Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): At the heart of the
corruption problem in Washington is a sense of entitlement. Politicians believe laws and rules (even
the U.S. Constitution) apply to the rest of us but not to them. Case in point: House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi and her excessive and boorish demands for military travel. Judicial Watch obtained
documents from the Pentagon in 2008 that suggest Pelosi has been treating the Air Force like her own
personal airline.
Evidently there's a lot of partying on that plane. Pelosi's Last Hurrah:
San Francisco's congresswoman of 23 years, the daughter of a Baltimore mayor, has a sense of self-entitlement
and extravagance unimagined by most public servants and ordinary folk. Her indulgences charged to
American taxpayers are now documented and damning. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) has
spent or authorized spending at least $3.2 million on trips, hotels, food, high-priced liquor, and
military jet rides in the past two years.
The Friendly Skies Of Nancy
Pelosi. Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch show that
Pelosi has incurred expenses of $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets the past two years. Then
there's the matter of the $101,000 tab taxpayers picked up over that period for "in-flight services," including
a selection of top-shelf booze. One receipt for "in-flight services," World Net Daily reports, showed
a liquor purchase for one flight that included Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red
scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Creme, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin,
Dewar's scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniel's whiskey and Corona beer.
Congressman to Pelosi: Give up
personal jet. A Florida congressman plans to offer an amendment to the 2011 Defense Authorization
bill that would require House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to fly coach — just as she requires of other
Congress members. The California Democrat commutes across the continent in a jet provided by the
military, a policy first authorized for the House speaker following the 9/11 terror attacks.
The latest: New
documents show Pelosi took 85 trips on military aircraft. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and
members of her family and staff took 85 tax-paid trips on military aircraft between March 2, 2009, and
June 7, 2010, according to new documents uncovered by Judicial Watch. Pelosi's daughter,
son-in-law and two grandsons were on the June 20, 2009, flight from Andrews AFB to San Francisco where
Pelosi resides, according to the documents. On July 2, 2010, Pelosi took a grandson on a flight
from Andrews to Travis AFB, north of San Francisco.
Judicial
Watch Uncovers New Documents Detailing Pelosi's Use of Air Force Aircraft. Judicial Watch ... announced
today [10/14/2010] that it has obtained new documents from the United States Air Force detailing House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi's repeated use of United States Air Force aircraft. According to the documents, obtained by
Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Pelosi used Air Force aircraft on 85 flights
from March 2009 through June 2010. Members of Pelosi's family were guests on at least two flights.
No
Gulfstream for Boehner as he promises to fly commercial. Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, the likely incoming
speaker of the House, told reporters today he will break with recent tradition and not use a military jet to fly back
and forth between Washington D.C. and his district. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., currently travels in
an Air Force Gulfstream V, following in the footsteps of her Republican predecessor, Speaker J. Dennis Hastert,
who used Air Force planes to travel after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Nancy Pelosi to fly commercial. House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will give up more than just the majority in the next Congress — she'll be
stripped of her right to use military aircraft.
Nancy
Pelosi's 'Air Force Fun' Update. The bills for Pelosi's air escapades have been piling
up for quite a while, and some of the final expenses from her tenure as Queen Speaker are starting
to come to light.
Pelosi spent $101,000 in two years while travelling with US Air Force.
If the US Airforce did all airline food, it would be strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and grilled chicken
salads all round. Unfortunately this luxury is reserved for top US politicians alone, as new documents
detailing Nancy Pelosi's travel expenses reveal. The former House Speaker was showered with a cornucopia
of gourmet food and alcohol as she travelled over 90,000 miles around the world in just nine months last
year — all courtesy of the US Airforce (USAF).
Air
Force withholds Pelosi flight docs; Judicial Watch appealing. Activist group Judicial Watch is
appealing a decision by the Air Force to withhold documents related to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
use of military airplanes. Documents released by the Air Force show Pelosi was provided chocolate-covered
strawberries on one flight to celebrate the California Democrat's birthday, among other luxuries. But of
43 flights, only 11 expense reports were provided to the group.
Washington's
"Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2010. Judicial Watch uncovered documents back in
2009 detailing attempts by Pentagon staff to accommodate [Nancy] Pelosi's numerous requests for military escorts
and military aircraft for herself and her family as well as the speaker's 11th hour cancellations and
changes. In 2010, Judicial Watch kept the pressure on Pelosi, uncovering documents that demonstrated
the Speaker was using U.S. Air Force aircraft as her own personal party planes. Overall, the Speaker's
military travel cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period —
$101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol.
Pelosi gets a Dishonorable Mention. Judicial
Watch Announces List of Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2011. Despite the
media firestorm over her military travel abuses ignited by a Judicial Watch investigation, Nancy Pelosi continued
to use the United States Air Force as her own personal travel agency right up until her final days as House
Speaker according to documents Judicial Watch uncovered from the Air Force in 2011.
Tom
Fitton's Introductory Remarks, CPAC 2012 Ronald Reagan Banquet. [Scroll down] And those of you in Congress, we have
our eye on you, too! Nancy Pelosi learned that the hard way. We exposed Air Pelosi, the scandal of Nancy Pelosi abusing the perk
of luxury travel on military jets. She treated our Air Force like a taxi service to go on junkets far and wide. Who pays
for it? You do. I have to hand it Speaker Boehner. Because of Air Pelosi, he flies commercial back to his
district. Believe me. We've checked. Air Pelosi is grounded. Nancy Pelosi is now in the House minority because she
couldn't be bothered to keep her promises for "the most open, most honest, and most ethical Congress in history."
