The pro-abortion congresswoman from San Francisco cites Gospel of Matthew to support more government spending for children (those who are already born) April 11, 2017 by Admin 3 Comments Rep.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has asked Speaker Paul Ryan to call the House back in session immediately to begin debate on an Authorization of the Use of Military Force for any further action in Syria. She sent him the following letter on Friday urging him to disrupt the two-week recess.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi broke with fellow Democrats who had criticized President Trump's military action against Syria to endorse the move late Thursday. "Making sure Assad knows that when he commits such despicable atrocities he will pay a price is the right thing to do," Schumer said in a statement released late Thursday. "I salute the professionalism and skill of our Armed Forces who took action today." "Tonight's strike in Syria appears to be a proportional response to the the regime's use of chemical weapons," Pelosi said in a statement.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) implied during a Wednesday press conference that President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, has been "complicit" in her father's actions, which the lawmaker described as "not acting in the interest of the American people." Pelosi's remarks came after she was asked about comments Ivanka Trump made during an interview on "CBS This Morning." CBS host Gayle King had asked Trump to address those who say she is "complicit" in her father's White House. "In an interview today, Ivanka Trump said, ‘I don't know what it means to be complicit' and that ‘not to...

Nobody had to tell Corrina Mehiel about the white privilege that killed her. It was a major focus of her life as a white Social Justice Warrior disguised as an artist. Earlier this month, that work took her to George Washington University in the nation’s capital. There she was part of a project drawing attention to one feature of white privilege or another. This time, lead paint in old houses occupied predominantly by black people. Just a few days after she was photographed with Nancy Pelosi grinning in approval, friends found Mehiel tied up, stabbed, tortured, and ultimately dead at...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke out against purported connections between the White House and the alt-right movement and white supremacists, citing the "poisonous attitudes we are witnessing now" in a speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual conference Tuesday. Pelosi briefly brought up the 2016 election to note the rise of both movements in a jab against President Trump and the White House. Pelosi's comments were likely directed at Steve Bannon, the White House chief strategist, and his work for Breitbart News prior to joining the Trump campaign last summer. "We come together in the aftermath of...

WASHINGTON ― Republican leaders are eyeing last-minute changes to their health care bill in order to attract votes from conservative lawmakers, including removing the requirement that insurance companies cover maternity care for everyone. Before the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, the insurance market was a bleak place for women. They often had to pay more than men for the same coverage. Only 12 percent of individual market plans covered maternity care. And it was completely legal for insurance companies to refuse coverage to women who were pregnant or might become pregnant in the future. One of the ACA’s...

Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in the 2018 midterm elections, Republican House members will be held accountable for their “terrible” vote on the proposed House Republican health care legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare.

President Donald Trump owes former commander-in-chief Barack Obama an apology, says Nancy Pelosi. The House Minority Leader said Friday during a preview of her upcoming "Face the Nation" interview that Trump was wrong for accusing Obama of having his wires tapped in Trump Tower. "It's not just about this allegation that President Trump has made. It's about the frivolity of it all," she said. "I call him the Deflector-in-Chief." Pelosi said Trump concocts stories to deflect from the negativity surrounding him, and it's something he should not be doing as president.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hammered the Trump administration's new budget proposal on Thursday, framing the president's federal spending blueprint as an immoral demolition of government that's doomed in Congress. "I don't see how this budget can survive the light of day," Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol. "This budget is really a slap in the face of the future." [Snip] "This is systemic deconstruction of the federal government." [Snip] "As low as my expectations have been, this budget really goes beyond," she said. "While it may be a statement of President Trump's values, I hope...

Lawyers are known never to ask a question they don’t already know the answer to – and politicians should do the same if they want to spare themselves some embarrassment. Nancy Pelosi didn’t get that memo. Despite all the ObamaCare horror stories we’ve heard since the day it took effect, whether it be people losing coverage, paying higher premiums, or seeing their deductibles skyrocket, Pelosi apparently was under the impression that once they passed the bill, people were happy to find out what was in it. They weren’t – which she learned when she tweeted out a request for people...

Both Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) visited the United States' southern border in the beginning of 2017, but they met with two different groups of people. Pelosi appeared over the weekend at a respite center in the Rio Grande Valley that aids immigrants released from Border Patrol and reportedly accommodated undocumented immigrants in the past. Cruz visited the border in February and said he likes to meet with Border Patrol in the area whenever he comes. "Every time I come to the border, I try to listen and ask questions to border...

Nancy ‘We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it’ Pelosi sent out a tweet yesterday asking Americans to share their experiences with Obamacare (ACA) in an attempt to show it has improved people’s lives. It looks like she didn’t get the response she was expecting because Americans lashed out and absolutely destroyed her. .@POTUS wants to know about your experiences with #ACA. Share your stories about why we must #ProtectOurCare: https://t.co/X1qFIXT1RR — Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) March 14, 2017 @NancyPelosi @POTUS I’m now spending almost 20K p/y on my health insurance and when my...

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway took aim at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif) Sunday on Fox News for refusing to condemn a sexist joke told by Rep. Cedric Richmond (D., La.) earlier this month. Richmond joked at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner on March 1 that Conway looked "familiar" in a position on her knees, referencing a viral photo of Conway kneeling on a sofa in the Oval Office. "You even mentioned Kellyanne and that picture on that sofa," Richmond said during his speech to Republican Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.). "I really want to know what was...

We've achieved maximum Pelosi Most of us felt it was impossible. After decades of listening to Nancy Pelosi spew mindless, inane, gobbledygook, we assumed there was no longer any way for her to one-up herself. Considering the level of asinine rhetoric we’ve come to expect from the former Speaker, we thought the worst was behind us. We believed we’d seen it all. We were wrong. On Friday night, we achieved maximum Pelosi.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) – 3.11.2017 March 11, 2017 by David Blackmon Don’t let the door hit you in your…well, you know the rest. – It took longer than we would have liked, but Attorney General Jeff Sessions requested the resignations of all 46 remaining Obama-era U.S. Attorneys on Friday. There are 94 U.S. Attorneys in total, which means that 48 had already chosen to do the right thing without having to be asked. It is not clear whether Sessions will accept all 46 resignations, assuming all the leftovers have the good grace to comply with...

It’s Friday night so you shouldn’t need a reason to drink. But in case you do, here you go.Am I right that “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it” is the second-most famous quote of the ObamaCare era? It’s not quite Lie Of The Year material, but it’s etched in granite somewhere in the museum of infamous political statements. Right next to Paul Ryan and the GOP insisting eight thousand times since 2010 that they’d “repeal” ObamaCare, rather than tinker with the subsidies, when they finally had the chance. Dear Speaker...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) dismissed President Trump's wiretapping charges against President Obama Friday as a smokescreen designed to cloud potential ties between Trump and Russia. “It couldn’t possibly be true, because that is not how our system works,” Pelosi said during a Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington. “We do not investigate, through a FISA court, Americans — here or abroad.” Pelosi noted that she was among the architects of revisions to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or FISA Court, enacted after 9/11. The clandestine court overseas surveillance requests from the nation’s intelligence agencies. “There’s much more accountability...

Presented without comment: Dear Speaker Ryan, This week, the Committees on Energy & Commerce and Ways & Means will be marking up Republicans’ long-feared bill to dismantle affordable health care. The GOP legislation will have life or death consequences for tens of millions of families across America, and extraordinary impacts on state and federal budgets long into the future. The American people and Members have a right to know the full impact of this legislation before any vote in Committee or by the whole House.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday she does not envision a single House Democrat breaking ranks to vote in favor of the Obamacare replacement bill that GOP leaders are pushing on Capitol Hill. “I don’t see any Democratic votes for what they are doing — none,” Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. “It isn’t even about Democrats or Republicans, it is about meeting the needs of the American people.” Republicans advanced their proposal through two committees this week. The bill has come under fire from both conservative and liberal lawmakers....
