The House overwhelmingly approved a motion on Wednesday that adds language condemning anti-Semitism to a bill that would cut off U.S. support for the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen. The vote comes days after freshman Rep. Ilham Omar (D-Minn.) stoked controversy with a tweet linking U.S. lawmaker support for Israel to money. Omar's remarks were heavily criticized by Democratic lawmakers including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). President Trump has called for her to resign from Congress over the issue.

Come on, man. As the #5 House Democrat, Hakeem Jeffries should have prepared himself to answer a question as obvious — and amusing — as this. After all, Nancy Pelosi suggested last month that the Constitution holds her office in equal respect to the president. If the House can force Donald Trump to disclose his tax returns, shouldn’t that also apply to Pelosi? Or anyone else in Congress, for that matter?Jeffries responded with this bit of throat-clearing and avoidance: Reporter: H.R.1 would legally require the president and vice president to release their tax returns. Should House Speaker Pelosi be...

It is beyond outrageous that Pelosi and Schumer have chosen political ambition over American lives ere must be numerous Democrat officials who are well aware that Pelosi and Schumer have crossed the line into the absurd regarding their anti-border wall fiasco but remain silent. Such cannot be said about the growing number of newly elected and “converted” Democrat radicals who echo extreme views without the slightest understanding of the facts. Reuters recently published a February 6th piece entitled, “U.S. Border Officials Don’t Share Trump’s Zeal for Border Wall.” The article reported on a classified briefing given by Customs and Border...

In an unprecedented rebuke under the new Congress, House Democratic leaders on Monday roundly condemned Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for statements about supporters of Israel that were widely viewed as anti-Semitic and called on her to apologize. The statement issued by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic leadership team followed the latest in a string of controversial comments from the freshman lawmaker -- as well as pressure from Republican leaders to speak out. “Anti-Semitism must be called out, confronted and condemned whenever it is encountered, without exception," the statement said. "We are and will always be...

While Democrats are pushing the "Green New Deal" - requiring unprecedented funding - while simultaneously rejecting Donald Trump's requests for increased border security funds, details of a "loan" that was granted to Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law have emerged, further highlighting the Dems' hypocritical use of taxpayer money.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The audience at Clive Davis’ white-hot gala included Barbra Streisand, Joni Mitchell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who got the most requests to take a selfie. Pelosi received rock star treatment Saturday night from attendees at the annual pre-Grammy event, which also featured a stunning tribute to the late Aretha Franklin, an artist Davis worked closely with for decades. Pelosi’s sarcastic handclap and smirk to President Donald Trump at his State of the Union address went viral last week and launched hundreds of memes. So when Davis announced that she...

The White House said Sunday it cannot rule out another government shutdown as it gets mixed signals from Democrats and Republicans racing a Friday deadline to fund President Trump’s border-wall demands and keep federal operations humming. White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said proposed funding is all over the map and that Democrats’ are pushing to cap the number of detainee beds for people who cross into the U.S. illegally, causing talks to stall. “The government shutdown is still on the table. We do not want it to come to that, but that option is still open to the...

The lies by Pelosi are staggering but they could only continue because a corrupt and deceitful media support them Never before in the history of American politics has an issue like whether or not to construct a barrier between Mexico and The United States been able to expose the hypocrisy and dishonesty of the Democrats and their propaganda partner - the media. Americans just experienced the most extended government shutdown because Democrats altered their assessments as to the importance of border security they now say is not a crisis and a waste of taxpayer funds.

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I just got a flash email the upshot of which is that the Green New Deal has been taken off line. The Green New Deal — and now the number of Democrats that have signed onto this folly, this insanity, this impractical, impossible list of proposals is 70. Seventy Democrats have signed on to endorse it. But apparently you can’t find it online. It has been pulled down. I know some people think that this whole thing is actually a Republican created hoax on the Democrats. I would love that if it is true. I’m not...

On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the press that there would "there will not be another shutdown" over the proposed border wall. She also said she will fully support any resolution that the bipartisan committee in charge of the negotiations come up with, even if it includes full wall funding. Chances are strong that it will. Nancy says that as the negotiations continue, "left to their own devices," an agreement will be reached as early as Friday. Democratic rep from N.Y. Nina Lowey, who leads the conference committee, told reporters negotiations are happening and could be settled in enough...

If Democrats believe in something other than sheer raw power you’d be hard pressed to figure out what it is. Their vacillation on most everything is more indicative of pragmatism than ideology. I remember when their battle cry for abortion was “safe, legal and rare” – now they’re on board with “late-term abortion” and infanticide. Should you ever need a quintessential definition of “slippery slope” this is it.Democrats seem to fervently believe in whatever appears to be expedient for the purpose of retaining power at the moment. Think of them as the party of “whatever” -the political equivalent of vocal...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be the leading voice behind a left-wing push for a Green New Deal, but the New York Democrat won't be serving on a newly created House committee tasked with combating climate change. **SNIP** On Thursday, both Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez confirmed that she was invited to be on the panel but declined the offer. "She did, in fact, invite me to be on the committee," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I don't think that this is a snub."

Full Title: Congressman Tom Graves: The Border Security Proposal The Democrats Have Put Together Is Not In Good Faith (snip)..KILMEADE: So Nita Lowey indicated last week - yesterday that you know what, we're making progress, we might need a one week funding to get all the details on this. What would she need the extra week for? GRAVES: That's a good point, we don't really need an extra week. You know, we were in that 35 day government shutdown, Nancy Pelosi said open the government, we'll negotiate, they had five, six weeks to have a plan and proposal in place...

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler’s (D-N.Y.) decision not to allow him to testify during a hearing on gun violence Wednesday may have helped amplify his message on the subject. Scalise — who sustained life-threatening injuries after being shot during practice for the congressional baseball game in 2017 — alleged by not allowing him to testify, Nadler “broke from tradition” by denying “a member who had a relevant testimony to give.” But the Louisiana Republican said the media attention gained from the incident provided him with a wider platform to discuss his view....

Maybe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will have to be satisfied being merely green with envy. The most visible House Democrat on climate change won’t get a seat on Nancy Pelosi’s select committee addressing the issue. The Hill reports that Pelosi appointed three other frosh Democrats to the panel, which makes the snub even more obvious: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday named eight Democrats to the new special climate change committee, but Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) was not among them.The panel, which is charged with examining climate change and steps to mitigate it, will include lawmakers with a wide range...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday mocked the “New Green Deal” just hours before its outline was unveiled — the latest example of the Democrat Party’s widening split between establishment lawmakers and its progressive wing on how to tackle “climate change.” Democrats including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are calling for a Green New Deal intended to transform the United States economy to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy. The freshman lawmaker and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) are teaming up on the plan, which aims to eliminate all carbon emissions in U.S. energy production by...

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, 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...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said on Wednesday that she would be willing to endorse any bipartisan border security agreement that emerges from House-Senate negotiations, leaving the success of those talks largely hinging on President Trump’s endorsement. With administration officials on Capitol Hill for the State of the Union address on Tuesday, Ms. Pelosi said she told Vice President Mike Pence that she hoped the White House would adhere to “the same hands-off policy” and let the bipartisan group of House and Senate lawmakers come to their conclusion ahead of the Feb. 15 deadline to keep the government fully funded....

It’s hard to top a sea of Democratic congresswomen in suffragette white, Melania Trump’s eyebrow-raising solo-glove action or even POTUS for that matter, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have pulled it off.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recited a verse from the Bible at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities conference Wednesday, but verse she shared doesn't even exist, according to theology professors. “And I can’t find it in the Bible, but I quote it all the time, and I keep reading and reading the Bible,” Pelosi said.“I know it’s there someplace. It’s supposed to be in Isaiah. But I heard a bishop say, ‘To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship.
