The thick, thick irony of it all. The man who never wanted to take the relatively thankless and difficult job as Speaker of the House because he wanted to become President one day may yet become the 46th President of the United States of America afterall. Allow me to explain. In short, there is a line of succession for the office of the President. First in line is the Vice-President - in this case Mike Pence. The thing is that Mike Pence has a few legal problems -like his boss President Trump. He’s hired outside legal counsel, but that really...

Fake journalists all over the fake news media spent most of the day yesterday desperately trying to distract the public’s attention away from the undeniable reality that it was their own lack of any journalistic ethics whatsoever that led directly to the mass shooting of House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and four others on Wednesday. Chuck Todd was the champion rationalizer when he proclaimed that “we’re all to blame”. Meaning, of course, that everyone except him and his fellow fake media assassination dog-whistlers are to blame. Well, sorry, Chuck, it’s you. Your fellow fake journalists. Your network and its corporate...

The entire “Trump Russian scandal” narrative is complete utter nonsense. Democrats are so desperate to stop Trump, they’re clinging to a Saturday Night Live comedy skit- with the full cooperation of their liberal lackeys in the mainstream media. They’ve just made a YUGE mistake. And it’s all going to blow up in their face. There is a "Russian influence scandal." It just has nothing to do with President Trump. It belongs to Hilary and the Democrats. First, a few Trump aides had conversations with the Russian ambassador, or Russian officials. Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions was a U.S. Senator at...

Creaky Old John McCain, whose incoherent questioning in last week’s James Comey hearing led to speculation about whether he was having a stroke or is suffering from dementia, chose yet another foreign venue in which to criticize President Donald Trump on Sunday. He told the Guardian that U.S. “leadership” was better under Barack Obama than it currently is. Mr. McCain has made a habit of bashing the current President on foreign soil and fake news media, something he never did to Barack Obama, even after Obama was revealed to have shipped more than $400 million in cash money to the...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday she finds it “strange” that President Trump decided to make Saudi Arabia his first foreign trip, adding that she was looking into it. “I just think it was a very strange choice to go there,” Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, said on MSNBC. “Especially in light of having served on the committee that investigated 9/11, and knowing the suspicions that exist in our country, and among his people.” Mrs. Pelosi also said that she heard that, similar to Mr. Trump’s exchange with former FBI Director James B. Comey, he “cleared the room there,” also....

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said when Republicans voted for President Donald Trump they were voting a “certain way,” almost like “any mammal will do.” When asked if Trump was a dealmaker, Pelosi said, “I will give you this as an example, the first meeting we had, House and Senate, Democrats and Republicans leadership in the White House, this is a big deal. I mean it feels you with some pride to have a seat at the table and a new president, I have been at that meeting with President George W. Bush...

Between 2006 and 2007, at least twelve Democratic Congressmen agreed to meet with Iranian officials in the Ayatollah’s regime at the behest of National Iranian American Council (NIAC) President Trita Parsi, according to a report by Hassan Dai of the Iranian American Forum. Parsi allegedly solicited the help of current Iranian Defense Minister Javad Zarif, who was Iran’s Ambassador to the UN at the time. Zarif is now one of the lead negotiators for Iran’s nuclear program on behalf of the Islamic republic.

Watching this reminds me that the day is coming, maybe sooner than we think, when Democrats will be trolling the new Republican president by comparing him unfavorably to Trump. Which reminds me that the day is also coming when we on the right will be trolling a new Democratic president by comparing him unfavorably to — gasp — Barack Obama.

Democrats must win the House in 2018. The major reason is that a man who behaves as a narcissist and sociopath, seemingly without the slightest capacity for growth, occupies the most important office in the world.

Pelosi's aide came to her assistance, passing her a note alerting her to the slip-up she's made many times before Shortly after calling into question President Trump's mental health on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,' House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's own mental health came under scrutiny, as the 77-year-old California congresswoman referred to President Trump as "President Bush" and forgot what day of the week it is. A reporter quickly helped her correct the gaffe, interjecting "Trump," but Pelosi appeared oblivious she slipped up. An aide then emerged from the sidelines, passing Pelosi a note, notifying her she got the two presidents...

The best argument against climate change is: what else can explain the ever-growing number of absolute nut cases right here in the USA? Tiger Woods must be elated that the video of his sad and embarrassing stop by Florida law enforcement got tossed to the side quickly thanks to Kathy Griffin’s disgusting antics, Hillary Clinton’s ongoing and all-encompassing blame game, and people such as Whoopi Goldberg saying our country’s leadership is no different than the Taliban. For starters, Kathy Griffin looked pathetic and received little to no sympathy after her non-comedic effort of holding a beheaded doll of President Donald...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi shared her thoughts about the president's decision to quit the Paris climate agreement at a press conference on Capitol Hill Friday afternoon: PELOSI: When the Pope went to the White House he talked about the dangers of air pollution when he was here. And just last week the Pope met with President Trump and gave him a copy of his Encyclical "Laudato Si," which made the case for strong urgent action to halt the climate crisis. The Pope wrote, "The climate is a common good belonging to all and meant for all." The bible tells...

Despite what you've heard — or rather, have not heard — from the White House, June is Pride Month. To celebrate and show support for the LGBTQ community, Twitter has released a custom heart emoji, Instagram added some fierce AF stickers to its app, and Google even dedicated a Doodle to the honor the American artist and LGBTQ rights activist who crated the rainbow flag. President Trump, however, has done nothing. We're already two days into June and have heard complete silence from the White House in regards to Pride. Needless to say, people have definitely noticed — and they're...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that President Trump was “dishonoring” God and questioned whether his grandchildren will even be able to breathe air after his announcement a day earlier that he would withdraw from the Paris climate accord. “How is he ever going to explain to his grandchildren what he did to the air they breathe — assuming they breathe air,” she said at her weekly press conference. She compared the president to racist segregationists during the civil rights movement, said Mr. Trump’s decision was yet another reason he needed to release his tax returns, and said the U.S. has...

Election Law Violation Was Hillary’s Idea Orders to use Donald Duck to foment violence at Trump rallies came straight from the top. Democrat Hillary Clinton personally authorized illegal dirty tricks operations against Republican Donald Trump’s campaign, according to top Democrats appearing in undercover video. In the third Hillary-related video released by ACORN slayer James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas Action Fund this past Sunday (Oct. 23), Clinton is directly implicated in a scheme to use Donald Duck to mock Trump and troll his supporters at Trump campaign rallies. Among Disney cartoon characters Donald Duck was a natural choice. After all,...

Democrats are hoping to capitalize on the anti-Trump excitement in their base by staging a coordinated "Summer of Resistance" across the country that's aimed at countering the agenda of President Trump and the GOP-led Congress. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi kicked off the effort Wednesday at a rally in Dallas, where she told attendees Democrats would work to stop the GOP agenda and Trump. Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Texas, told the crowd, "You have to take a stand now," and "Now is the time to help make a difference. There are so many things you can do." Democratic activists have been...

**SNIP** But Ball was more willing to directly attack the Democratic Party’s leadership in the House — and cast the new effort as an attempt to break with it. Some political analysts say Democratic candidates are weighed down by what the Cook Political Report calls the “Pelosi Factor.” In the home stretch of several House elections, including Thursday’s Montana race, Republicans have deployed images of Pelosi in attack ads to go after their Democratic opponents. “She’s an impediment to every House Democrat in the country except for a few coastal enclaves,” Ball said in an interview. Candidates running under the...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi acknowledged at a recent discussion panel that she finds it difficult to refer to the president of the United States by name. The California Democrat said "It's hard," even after five months, to say "President Trump," according to the Hill. The question came up in the discussion after Pelosi made a reference to Trump by stating "the new president of the United States." The former House Speaker went on to explain why Hillary Clinton's election loss had been so tough to bear. "I'm the highest ranking woman politically in our country," added Pelosi, the Hill...

For at least the third time, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi referred to the current president as George W. Bush. Talking about her battles with Republicans over abortion, Pelosi said, “For decades I’ve served in Congress and for decades I’ve had to fight the Republicans’ opposition to birth control, contraception and family planning. “They do not believe in it,” Pelosi declared at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. “And a lot of those people voted for George— for, what’s his name?” she asked, apparently struggling to remember President Trump’s name.

Tuesday at a discussion hosted by the Commonwealth Club, Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that it was “hard” for her to say the words “President Trump.” When Pelosi referenced “the new president of the United States,” the moderator said, “I noticed you don’t say President Trump.” Pelosi replied, “It’s hard.”
