PELOSI PLEDGED HER UNDYING LOYALTY TO MEXICO--demeaned American citizens and Donald Trump
In 2016 Nancy brought a Congressional delegation to Mexico City to meet with Mexican dignitaries. Pelosi told the Mexican president and his entourage: “We come here as a bipartisan and large delegation to express our respect for the people of Mexico and the country of Mexico; to acknowledge our shared border and our shared values and to learn more about how we can work together for the bright future for not only our two countries but for our hemisphere.”

Pelosi later said the Congressional delegation had a busy time in Mexico City. “We heard a sermon on the importance of workers in Mexico, a view we share. We’ve met with members of the American Chamber of Commerce. We had a very beneficial meeting with Director General Zapata on the subject of the economy and on the subject of TPP (trade pact) especially.

"And then we had a glorious meeting, a really very thorough exchange of subjects and views – again about our shared values and our shared border – with the President [of Mexico]......with Members of the Federal Deputies – Mexican Federal Deputies – and Senators. And in the evening we had a dinner meeting with the Mexican Foreign Minister,” Pelosi said.

=============================================

PELOSI DEMEANS AMERICAN CITIZENS WHILE ON MEXICAN SOIL
PELOSI SLAMS DONALD TRUMP TO MEXICAN OFFICIALS
(BEFORE TRUMP GOT THE NOM AND GOT ELECTED BY 63 MILLION AMERICANS)

CIRCA 2016----Pelosi in Mexico telling Mexican officials Trump is speaking to an "insecure minority," who maybe lost their job and
think it was because of immigration, or trade. I think it's putting too much weight on all this. Trump only has one half of one half, 25%."

The 2016 Congressional delegation to Mexico also included Democrat Reps. Norma Torres, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Pete Aguilar and Linda Sanchez (Calif.); Beto O'Rourke and Henry Cuellar (Texas); Ruben Gallego (Ariz.); Michelle Lujan Grisham (N.M.); and Republicans Michael Fitzpatrick (Pa.) and Richard Hanna (N.Y.).

SCHADENFREUD Beto sucked-up bigtime for latino votes....but still lost his Texas race against Cruz.

"I may," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said when asked by a reporter whether she would file a legal challenge. "We will review our options," she said, adding that Democrats would response "appropriately." (Reporting by Susan Cornwell; Writing by Tim Ahmann Editing by Susan Thomas)

Reuters doesn't proof read their press releases? Democrats would response (sic) appropriately???!

We need to launch an investigation into Pelosi’s finances. Being the holder of the importation postition of Speaker of the House we have a right to know how she got millions of dollars in that position: where the money came from, what the payback really was, who was behind it, etc. She needs to open her tax returns, personal financial files, campaign donations records, and anything else that will tell the public how she became rich.

I suppose technically Pelosi could show harm and standing, the wall blocking the flow of illegal labor at her wineries.

Pelosi is all about Pelosi, not about America. Her ego rivals Hillary's, and that is saying a lot. It's absolutely ironic that she accused Trump of having a ‘manhood thing’, as she is the one with the pathetic and immature ‘I have to WIN, no matter what’ mentality.

All she has to do is get a resolution signed by the House and the Senate and the Emergency is repealed.

Did any of the Republican speakers ever “threaten possible legal action” over any of the numerous outrageous things Obama did?

Look at her....Nancy is s-o-o-o-o proud of the big mouth, evil-eyed Muslim she appointed to Foreign Affairs Committee.

But wait......

Meet the Muslim Democrat Congressman with a stranglehold on your safety and security....appointed by Pelosi.

Here's the shocking list of Congressional committees under the control of Indiana Democrat Andre Carson. NOTE--The DNC places a price on these committees---Congressman wishing to be placed on the committee pay up front. Where did Muslim Carson get the money to get on these highly sensitive committees? Is Carson funneling Islamic cash into the DNC? Do his Indiana constituents know Carson bought these seats?

CARSON'S COMMITTEES <><>House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) <><>Ranking Member: Emerging Threats Subcommittee <><>Department of Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture Subcommittee <><>The United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) is a committee of the United States House of Representatives.

The HPSCI is charged with the oversight of the United States Intelligence Community, which includes the intelligence and intelligence related activities of 17 elements of the US Government, and the Military Intelligence Program. Additional information about the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) can be found at link.

<><>Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure <><> Subcommittee on Aviation <><> Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials

NOTE The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure oversees all modes of transportation: aviation, maritime and waterborne transportation, highways, bridges, mass transit, and railroads.

The Committee also has jurisdiction over other aspects of our national infrastructure, such as clean water and waste water management, the transport of resources by pipeline, flood damage reduction, the management of federally owned real estate and public buildings, the development of economically depressed rural and urban areas, disaster preparedness and response, and hazardous materials transportation.
<><>Subcommittee on Aviation---- The subcommittee has jurisdiction over civil aviation, including most aspects of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Transportation Security Administration, and the National Transportation Safety Board.
<><> Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials The Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials exercises jurisdiction over the programs and activities of two U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) modal administrations, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).

The Subcommittee oversees the passenger and freight rail safety and economic regulations including all federal laws and programs regulating railroad transportation, including railroad safety, rail infrastructure programs, economic regulation, railroad labor laws, and the non-revenue aspects of the federal railroad retirement and railroad unemployment systems.

The jurisdiction of the Subcommittee also includes overseeing all federal laws and programs regulating the safety of gas and liquid pipelines.

======================================

ANALYSIS Usually Congressman choose committees that help their districts and their constituents. Does Indiana need copious amts of US intel and....plans for all of our critical infrastructures, that Carson opted for?

Let’s ask Indiana media: links to Indiana media

REFERENCE----Pelosi to name first Muslim lawmaker to House intelligence committee
By LAUREN FRENCH 01/13/2015 01/13/2015

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced in a closed-door meeting Tuesday she would name the first Muslim lawmaker to the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. A senior Democratic aide said Rep. André Carson of Indiana would be named in the “coming days” to the key national security-focused panel. Pelosi (D-Calif.) told lawmakers of the appointment during the members’ weekly caucus meeting. Carson would be the first Muslim to serve on the committee and was the second Muslim to be elected to Congress. He already serves on the Armed Services Committee and worked for the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center — the clearinghouse established by the federal government to streamline data sharing between the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice and the military.

The intelligence committee will most likely tackle a series of high-profile international crises during the 114th Congress, including the threat of Islamic militants and Ukraine.

Carson’s office didn’t immediately return a request for comment. The announcement comes in the wake of last week’s terrorist attack by Islamic extremists and subsequent shootouts with police that left 17 people dead. World leaders gathered on Sunday for a 1 million person “solidarity” protest against the violence that targeted French Jews and journalists.

Trump has a lot more people in his camp than she has any knowledge or understanding of. That said, that insecure minority she says 'maybe lost their jobs' were at least willing to work jobs - as opposed to a significant proportion of her party's supporters.

Instead of threatening others, Nanzi should clean up her own backyard.

The coup continues. The Democrats will take a chance on destroying the US before they wait another 6 years to join the globalists.

Why announce it in the first place? Just declare it.

Give it legs before ‘they’ have a chance to stop it.

Keeping the border open to drug and human trafficking. Money laundering via bitcoin, banks and off shore accounts. Learned the biz from daddy mob boss in Baltimore.
All Dems and RINOs are in on it.
