This is what is known in Economics as
The Lowball First Offer
Most Air Force people would look at this and think,
“No way! Ten bucks! I might get into some trouble. I’m not going to get into some trouble for a measly ten bucks.”
But.....there just might be somebody in the Air Force, probably a Pilot, who will look at this and think,
“Wow! Ten bucks! That’s like half a pizza! I’ll do it!”
Bullsheet. They never would pay out of their own pocket. Ain’t buying.
Her Trip has been Trumped.
What "commercial travel plans?"
Nan and the gang were an hour away from wheels up on a military aircraft.
The "commercial travel plans" are a spoof her own people ade up and leaked to cover her butt by redirecting the narative.
Lets see the "commercial travel plans" reservations and itinerary nan...
.
That’S U.S. American money.
Wake Up Ms. Speaker! Wake Up! You're Daydreaming Again! I love the way they talk about Trumps visit ti Iraq. Hmmm, tale off one day, back the next vs a 7 day romp is absolutely not the same.
She doesn’t. Maybe she could take up a collection from her constituents in California.
This whole debacle is an excellent illustration of why people like her are wholly unsuited to government. About damn time. Pathetic.
THE GORY DETAILS---did not include the junkets' cost to taxpayers:
<><> The purpose of the trip was to express appreciation & thanks to the men & women in uniform...
<><> Pelosi planned to meet with NATO commanders.
<><> The group also planned to obtain critical national security & intelligence briefings (guess they never heard of a telephone).
<><> Nanzi's spokesman said that the Afghanistan stop, of necessity, "included a required stop in Brussels for pilot rest."

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said: "We want to keep Pelosi in Washington. If she leaves, she guarantees
a 2nd round of paychecks to 800,000 federal workers won't go out." (Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...

Where was the media when Pelosi abused military travel for YEARS? Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch uncovered Pelosi’s abuse of military travel on taxpayer dime which included bringing members of her family aboard and serving them top shelf liquor. “Purchases for one Pelosi-led CODEL on May 15-20, 2008 included: Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewar’s scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin,” Tom Fitton said.
“Speaker Pelosi used the Air Force aircraft for a total of 85 trips, covering 206,264 miles, from March 2, 2009 through June 7, 2010. Pelosi, her guests and Air Force personnel logged a total of 428.6 hours on these flights,” Mr. Fitton added. (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

Flashback: Nancy Pelosi Doesn't Fly Coach

The San Francisco congresswoman has apparently taken to flying in style. And not just any style but military charter style, according to e-mails released this week. Pelosi's staff has allegedly been "berating" military officials to get the best planes possibly for the speaker to fly across country, according to e-mails obtained by the government watchdog group Judicial Watch (you can read all the emails on their site) and first reported by The New York Post.
"Taken together, these documents show that Speaker Pelosi treats the Air Force like her personal airline," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a statement. "Not only does Speaker Pelosi issue unreasonable requests for military travel, but her office seems unconcerned about wasting taxpayer money with last minute cancellations and other demands."
Pelosi allegedly demanded that the military provide nonstop flight service when she flies home to the Bay Area. But that's not all. The emails show Pelosi demanding police protection on government planes. She even has a particular plane that is her favorite. What is the plane of choice for a Speaker of the House? Well Nancy Pelosi prefers to fly in Gulfstream's G-5, made famous by Jay Z and 50-Cent rap videos. "It is my understanding there are no G-5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable . . . The speaker will want to know where the planes are," a Pelosi aide wrote in one of the e-mails to the military.
In another email the aide wanted one of the G-5s for a House delegation while they were already being used for senators and cabinet members. "This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset speaker," the e-mail said. (Excerpt) Read more at nbcphiladelphia.com ...
Pelosi’s move is being described as a “Power Play” to throw red meat to her leftist, obstructionist, resistance movement minions. Her “basis” for canceling the SOTU was not in fact - made up from whole cloth. Trump’s reaction is being described as a ‘temper tantrum’ but based on negotiating tactics to get Pelosi to stay in town, actually earn her bogus salary, and re-open gubmint.
“George Costanza ... sounds like a story he would make up”
Andriqa Doria story was pretty good. Can Nancy beat that?
How could anybody buy this crock? She had no intention of getting on a commercial flight where a stewardess would tell her to turn off her cell phone.
And did anyone see that photo of her luggage? She travels with more bags than the Duke & Duchess of Windsor.
The Trump administration doubled down on grounding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and effectively grounded all congressional delegations for the duration of the shutdown. On Friday morning, Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Russ Vought tweeted a memo indicating that all congressional travel — at government expense — was being suspended until the shutdown ends.

Oh my. Trump compromised her security. I hope she keeps that thought next time she boards a plane.
It’s better for a leader to be feared than loved.
Check on her opium crop.
But Americans better be wary of Cong Schiff having critical national security intelligence.
Schiff's past history, handling intel shows Schiff is too cavalier with Americans' safety and security.
======================================
REALITY CHECK Adam Schiff is ranking Democrat member on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Schiff employed the Pakistani Imran Awan clan as an IT staffer .....who is now suspected of global spying.
Schiff's Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence oversees all or part
of the following executive branch departments and agencies:
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
-Central Intelligence Agency
-Defense Intelligence Agency
-Department of Defense
-Department of Energy
-Department of Homeland Security
-Department of Justice
-Department of State
-Department of Treasury
-Drug Enforcement Administration
-Federal Bureau of Investigation
-National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency -National Reconnaissance Office
-National Security Agency
-Office of Naval Intelligence
-Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency
-United States Army Intelligence and Security Command
-United States Coast Guard Intelligence
-Marine Corps Intelligence Activity
NOTE WELL: At no time did Cong Schiff advise any of these critical intel agencies that data they provided
his office was being tracked by suspected foreign spies, perhaps sold abroad by foreign enemies of the US.
Pres Trump needs to reassess Schiff's access to this intel.
