With the fallout over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s controversial comments paralyzing House Democrats, Speaker Nancy Pelosi found herself on the floor Wednesday afternoon asking some of her closest allies what exactly she should do.

For 20 minutes, Pelosi huddled with senior members of the Congressional Black Caucus — House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, and Karen Bass and Barbara Lee of California — to try to determine what kind of resolution the CBC would back that rejected Omar’s remarks about Israel without unfairly singling her out.

Looks like my vow to give up popcorn for Lent has already been broken. This is what happens when a party is nothing but a coalition of grievance groups each claiming to be the greatest victim.

One happy result of the squabble between Lenin’s faction and Trotsky’s faction is one of those leaders ended up with a pickaxe in their skull.

I have always wondered why Black Americans support Islam and Muslims.

They are the ones who sold their ancestors into slavery for not submitting to Islam.................

99.9% of blacks think whitey went into the disease ridden interior of East Africa to grab their ancestors because that is what they saw in “Roots”.

I saw that pick axe with the blood still on it. They had a spy exhibit at the Reagan library. It’s part of someone’s collection. Amazing exhibit.

How do you keep the muzzie vote and the Jewish vote? Well let the freshman bigots say what they will and have some key leadership people come out and condemn anti antisemitism. Then do a generic “stop the hate” resolution. This is the game the Rats are trying.

Strictly speaking, it was an “ice axe.”

Never interrupt your opponent while he (she) is in the process of making a mistake.

Nancy is obviously in a great quandary at the moment. No advice to her, please. As muddled as Nancy’s thought processes have been of late, let her proceed in her own inimitable manner.

The old methods of command and control are no longer as effective as they once were for Nancy.

Just when you thought GOP Speakers of the House were bad, along comes Nasty Nan and her House Flea Circus.

I see some humor here.

Nancy Pelosi doesn't know what to do, so to whom does she go to for advice? Jim Clyburn, Sheila Jackson Lee, Karen Bass, Barbara Lee.

Kind of like consulting Dr. Kevorkian on what to do about a terminal illness.

You surmise or posit the issue here in America with “African-Americans = they are still lining up, waiting to be sold!

Thanks to the NEA and America’s public school and “equal education” for everyone, where young black kids are taught by their black teachers (or white liberals) that they aren’t expected to succeed, even when they fail, they get a medal, cause “the white man” owes it to them, and they’re just waiting in line to get some of dat Obama cash!

What in the devil does talking to black members have to do with anything? Are they all Jewish? Stupid question, I know but why not talk to the Jewish members and make them take a stand or is that against house rules?
