Nancy Reagan, the influential and stylish wife of the 40th president of the United States who unabashedly put Ronald Reagan at the center of her life but who became a political figure in her own right, died on Sunday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 94.

The cause was congestive heart failure, according to a statement from Joanne Drake, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Reagan.

Scene from the movie "Hellcats Of The Navy" released in 1957.

The only movie that Ron and Nancy acted in together.

I’m pretty good at reading lips and I’m fairly confident Michelle said “You brave this for your damned flag?” This was a 9/11 ceremony and the threat of a terror attack was high.. Note they’re sitting behind security glass. Anyway, if this ‘woman’ doesn’t have a penis I’d be surprised..

In watching the coverage of Mrs. Reagan's death, one cannot be more struck by the fact that we now live in a completely different, (and not necessarily better) world. I am sure that Mrs. Reagan is with her beloved Ronnie. The Reagan's shared a beautiful love story. May they both RIP.

In the 1990s, my former Youth Pastor and Wedding Officiant, Gary Reddish, went out to become the Co-Pastor to a prominent church in Bel Aire. Among his congregants were the Chevy Chase family and the President and Nancy Reagan. In fact, Gary lived down the street from the Reagans, doing double duty of house sitting. Gary told me that, one day he was driving past the Reagan’s house and he saw Nancy outside of her gated home, spray painting something on her large plastic garbage cans. Gary pulled over and asked “Nancy, my gosh, what are you doing out here?”. She explained to Gary that she was “fixing my address on these cans!!” Gary pressed her and asked “Well, where is your (Secret Service) Detail? Why don’t you have those guys do this for you? Or let me do this!”. Nancy demured to Gary and admitted that she just wanted to do it, explaining that she was a bit embarrassed. She asserted to Gary “ I’m just so tired of hearing the jokes about our address. I’m changing it and that’s that!” Apparently, her garbage cans were tagged with their street address of ‘666’. Mrs. Reagan was out there changing the last ‘6’ to an ‘8’. :)

“Too bad the NYT was so horrible to her while she was first lady.”

These blasted hypocrites in the MSM...When President and Mrs. Reagan were in the White House, they (the MSM) couldn’t tear them both down fast enough. I remember the horrible things that were said about the China in the White House, it was bought by donations, and also the terrible things that were said about the gowns that Mrs. Reagan wore for various functions. Yes, the MSM got on to her about that too. I’m to the point that I just can’t stand there phoniness. It makes me sick.
Then we have good old Hillary. I had read that when the Reagan’s were in the White House that Hillary and Chelsey were visiting Washington DC and Chelsey wanted to tour the White House but Hillary supposedly said, “Not until someone DECENT lives there.” Ya, right, a President who chases and gropes women, is “serviced” by a White House Intern at his will, lies under oath, is fined and loses his law license for a specified period of time, and on and on it goes. I’m sure that is what Hillary considers “Decent”. Sorry folks, I’m in a real bad mood for the way the MSM treated Nancy Reagan, until now that she’s dead.

I’m sure it was the only way that O could get in bed with “her”, and just enough to get a couple of kids.

RIP Nancy. Sorry the media gave you such a hard time while Shrillary always got a free ride when she was the White House’s little unelected tyrant.

Our prayers rise to God for Nancy and family. (Increase Our Prayers to God for Nancy and family.) Our father in heavens, Hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us our daily bread today. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For it Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, cen cles for centuries. Amen Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, Jesus and the fruit of thy womb is blessed. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Thus be it.

Amen

1. Obama will not say anything nice about Nancy Reagan passing away.

2. Obama will not attend the funeral.

Shows how much you know.

Melania will represent this country with grace and class. You’ll never see a scowl on HER face.

Melania Trump is a real woman with a real personality.
