The New York Times editorial board is calling on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her top two deputies to step aside and allow younger Democratic members to lead the caucus. The Times takes aim at Pelosi, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Democratic Assistant Leader Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., criticizing the trio for maintaining their power rather than preparing the next generation. "For too long, this regime has clung to power at the expense of future leaders," the Times editorial board writes. "Neither of Ms. Pelosi’s two chief deputies, Steny Hoyer, the party whip, and Jim Clyburn, the...

Rep. Joe Crowley’s stunning primary loss to 28-year-old progressive and first-time candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday reverberated not only through Democratic circles in New York but in the halls of the U.S. Capitol: Crowley had hoped to succeed House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, raising new questions about the future of the Democratic Party. “We’re in a moment of transition,” Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver, a Missouri Democrat and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, told ABC News. Crowley, the boss of the Queens Democratic Party and fourth-ranking House Democrat, had been quietly positioning himself to replace Pelosi as the top House...

Democratic IT aide Imran Awan solicited a bribe from an IT vendor in exchange for contracting opportunities with the office of then-Rep. Gwen Graham, the vendor alleged to The Daily Caller News Foundation, adding that Imran spoke to him in detail about his alleged financial fraud schemes in the House. The Department of Justice knows of the source — the longtime owner of a major House IT company — and what he is prepared to testify, a high-level official in Jeff Sessions’ DOJ with knowledge of the investigation confirmed. But the vendor said no law enforcement ever even tried to...

Former President Barack Obama voiced support during a fundraiser on Friday for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to lead the Democrats in the House after this year's midterm elections. Politico reported in Playbook that Obama spoke at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee event in northern California, which Pelosi co-hosted. "I think everybody knows how much I love Nancy Pelosi. So ... Paul's alright," Obama joked, according to Politico. "But Nancy, I believe is one of the greatest speakers we ever had and will once again be one of the greatest speakers we ever have after we get through this...

After U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., implored Americans of good conscience to publicly confront White House officials over their policies, leading Democrats joined with Republicans to denounce Waters’ comments as uncivil. It was one of the few acts of bipartisanship that Democrats have engaged in since the advent of the Trump administration, and it was by far the most harmful. Not only because Waters, who lived through the civil rights movement, understands that oppressors do not buckle to civility. It was harmful because Waters’ fellow Democrats — including leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer — wrongly believe that tyranny can...

Big announcement & headline a few days back, Democrats, Ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer will be the major leaders campaigning non-stop to enable the Democrat Party to politically take over both, the House of Representatives & the United States Senate. It will be most interesting if Obama, Pelosi and Schumer will be able to hold the massively, successful, heavily attended political rallies in the same manner as our current POTUS, Donald J. Trump does over & over again, attracting highly motivated, positive, loyal supporters by the tens of thousands. Pelosi and Schumer have never come close...

What is wrong with Nancy Pelosi? As the noose seems to be tightening on her prospects to return to party power after the November elections, the House Minority Leader stumbled over words, suffered brain freezes and stared at reporters during a Thursday press conference. “Last week, soy bean futures hit a nine-year low,” Pelosi told reporters. “Soy boyn— soy bean futures hit a nine-year low,” she repeated, attempting to pronounce the words clearly, accentuating each one with a pointed finger. “Pork producers, corn growers and wheat grawers, growers are reeling, too,” she said before suffering a brain freeze, staring at...

New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pushing back on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) characterization of her surprise primary win, saying the Democratic Party is in the midst of a movement. “I think that we’re in the middle of a movement in this country,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN's Erin Burnett late Wednesday. “I feel this movement, but that movement is going to happen from the bottom up. That movement is going to come from voters.” **SNIP** Pelosi dismissed speculation in a news conference earlier Wednesday, saying Ocasio-Cortez's win should not be seen as a larger movement within the...

House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi scoffed Wednesday when asked if the victory of self-described Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over House Democratic Caucus chair Joe Crowley (D-NY) in New York’s 14th congressional district demonstrates a change in party leadership is needed. A partial transcript follows: REPORTER 1#: “Republicans are saying one of the things this [election] shows is that Democrat Socialism is ascendant in your party. Are they right about that?” REP PELOSI: “No, they’re no. It’s ascendant in that district, perhaps. I won’t accept any characterization of our party presented by the Republicans. Let me reject that right now....

Democrats have been well and truly outed as the sly, lying, fiscally moronic anti-American dweebs that they have devolved into Let’s face it, they’ve been stone cold losers, the elite. So, let them keep calling themselves the elite. But we’re going to call ourselves – and remember you work harder than they do and you are indeed smarter than them—from now on let’s call ourselves the super elite. We are the super elite.—President Donald Trump at Fargo, ND 6/27/18 During his speech in Fargo, ND last night President Trump named Congresswoman Maxine “Mad Max” Waters the new face of the...

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on Thursday urged the president to make the 2018 midterms a national referendum on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). "If it is Donald Trump versus Nancy Pelosi, the president wins that every single time, and that's what's going to play out this election cycle," Lewandowski told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton on "Rising." "If this election is defined as a referendum on President Trump and his agenda, which is tax cuts, strong border wall, and the deregulation of our government, then the Republicans win, and I think the Republicans hold the House," Lewandowski said. "If...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Wednesday that progressive New York congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's surprise win should not be viewed at something larger within the Democratic Party. "They made a choice in one district. So let’s not get yourself carried away as an expert on demographics and the rest of that. Within the caucus or outside the caucus, we are...again, we have an array of genders, generations, geography, and there is opinion in our caucus, and we’re proud of that," Pelosi told reporters at a news conference. "The fact that in a very progressive district in New...

Last evening as POTUS, Donald J. Trump smiled broadly, enjoying the smashing Mid-Term primary victories of Republicans, Henry McMaster (Governor) in South Carolina and Mitt Romney (U.S. Senate) in Utah, both of whom POTUS, endorsed for victory and, the dismal number of Democrats that turned out and voted in primary elections across the country. Little did the POTUS know that the real "political" shock of the evening was yet to take place in the borough of Queens, Woodside, New York as the evening rolled on. Democrat, House Representative, Democrat leader and possible House Speaker, Joesph Crowley was handed a massive,...

Big primary day today folks. Lots of action across the board. My gut feeling tells me POTUS, Trump is going to have another good night this evening. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, get out and vote for your favorites, whomever they may be. Let me state that the Establishment Republicans and Democrats ain't cool and they ain't gonna make it. The seething hate, envy, evil, spiteful bunch of loonies these poor souls are not are not going to bring home the victory they seek. Those poor souls include Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Jeb Bush,...

Is this a case of sincere regret, fear of asymmetrical application, or privilege-splaining? I’ll bet that Maxine Waters takes Door Number 3 in her response to Nancy Pelosi’s slap at Waters’ suggestion that Donald Trump’s opponents harass White House employees whenever out in public. Pelosi was careful to blame Trump for the “lack of civility,” but it’s nonetheless a shot across Waters’ bow: Nancy Pelosi rebuked fellow Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters on Monday for urging her supporters to confront Trump administration officials in their day-to-day lives.The House Democratic leader’s censure of her colleague highlights the difficult choices Democratic leaders...

Nancy Pelosi sits in a black-leather booth at Americana, a burger bistro in downtown Des Moines, radiating optimism. "We're in a very good place," she says of Democrats' odds in November. Special-election results suggest more than 100 seats in the House of Representatives are in play, and Democrats need less than two dozen to regain a majority. At the prospect of a victory that could check Trump's power – and, Pelosi expects, reinstall her as House speaker – she bangs a piece of cutlery, hard, on the table. "The gavel," she says. "The gavel makes all the difference in the...

While listing her demands of Republicans, House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) demanded “amnesty” for illegal aliens Thursday, then caught herself and called for “asylum and all the rest,” instead. […]“We demand immediately to know what they intend to do unite these families, end the zero tolerance. I won’t even go into the policy about amnesty — I mean not amnesty; they’d love for us to say that — asylum and all the rest. You all know that very well and you’ve testified to it.” …

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Saturday tweeted a picture that has typically been used online to depict gang members, saying they are House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) “campaign committee for the take back of the House.” “Nancy Pelosi introduces her campaign committee for the take back of the House,” he tweeted with a picture of a group of tattooed men holding up gang signs. Huckabee’s tweet comes during a heated debate about immigration, as House leaders last week postponed a vote on a broad immigration bill, acknowledging they did not have the votes. Pelosi on Thursday said...

TEASER: Diamond and Silk skewer the ‘Dummycrats’ in upcoming film June 22, 2018 By Kyle Olson The American Mirror is teaming up with Diamond and Silk to take on the “Dummycrats” this fall.

It’s very sad that Nancy Pelosi and her sidekick, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, want to protect illegal immigrants far more than the citizens of our country. The United States cannot stand for this. We wants safety and security at our borders!
