Saturday was National Popcorn Day, but Ive been nibbling on popcorn all week as Nancy Pelosi learned a lesson about presidential power and the media was gut checked by the special prosecutor. I havent had this much fun since election night 2016.
While she might have thought otherwise, the power of the commander-in-chief is far greater than that of the speaker of the House, and the humiliating way this was brought home to the congressional equivalent of Maerose Prizzi (h/t Michael Walsh) was something. She anticipated that she and her posse of cronies and their families (reports of a ninety-some entourage in all) would hop a military plane for a free trip to Brussels, Afghanistan, and Egypt, doubtless with fawning media coverage, leaving the president to sit alone in the White House hoping fruitlessly theyd toddle in there to negotiate an end to the shutdown. Reports vary as to whether she was on the tarmac or on her way there when the president cancelled the flight as incompatible during a shutdown when federal workers were not being paid and illegal aliens were continuing to invade.
The president twisted the knife, suggesting she was free to fly commercial, which served as a reminder of the enormous tab she ran up on such flights the last time she was speaker. She thought she had the upper hand in this. She learned she certainly didnt, and was last seen at Reagan Airport, with one aide and a single security agent, heading out of town to somewhere on a commercial flight. The president cancelled his own trip to Davos and required other similar travel on military airplanes be made only at the approval of the secretary of defense until there is a budget he can sign that provides for a secure border barrier.

“Nancy Pelosi is winning in her battle with Trump. Here’s why” By Doyle McManus
The Left (and Media) thinks Pelosi’s winning, the Right thinks Trump’s winning. That’s a recipe for a stalemate.

“the Queen, was going to take 90 some ‘friends and family’ into a combat zone.”
Doubtful. That was her story AFTER Trump clipped her wings. More like another high-end vacation.

. Were just not flashy about it. Out here we dont get mad- we get even. What Trump has done is the classic New York You wanna play f**k around, well play f**k around!.
_________________
Trump was at one time castigated in the press for asking someone “What are you?” That is when I knew he was a real New Yorker.
Haven’t heard that term in years. In NYC and boroughs and Southern New England, it was a common question asked since the area was a melange of Italians, Irish, Polish, French, Easter Europeans, Brits, Spanish, Puertro Ricans... during the forties fifties and sixties.
It meant “What’s your heritage?” Gave an idea of how you thought, who you knew, and an ability to find common ground , or step back.
Culturally ignorant mainstream media turned this into a pig’s breakfast and considered it politically incorrect.
It was normative in his time,and in my time there, and I imagine that different groups now there ask the same question. If they can get away with it.
Want the INSIDE SKINNY on the DEEP STATE and what may be TRUMP’S PLOY TO RID US OF THEM? HERE YA’ GO!!

Yes, where’s Nancy? She’s the second most powerful official in our government, and every American deserves to know what she’s up to — yet the media suppresses coverage of her, just like the Soviet media once concealed the activities of Soviet dictators.
Best election evah.

We’re going to hit the popcorn today, too!
Beau is out plowing our driveway (2 miles!) after plowing snow for 14 hours yesterday and then we’re settling in for some playoff football.
Life Is Good! :)
BUMP!
Pelosi flew somewhere, but where?
First Popcorn I’ve had in a while. We are having pizza and birthday cake today for grand daughter. The cake is divided into 4 sections-2 Carrot Cake, 1 German Chocolate and 1 double chocolate fudge.
I’ll be have sugar shock today and withdrawal all next week. LOL
She flew to Capistrano. Where ALL the Albatrosses go.
Behind her wall and with her armed security detail.
Do I really need to answer this for you? You know the answer. The questions remain about Pelosis excursion out of the country with all her family and 7 other congress members. AND Donna Braziles ominous tweet for #PresidentPelosi
Thanks! Best.Election.Ever!
That cake sounds DIVINE! Enjoy! :)
Pelosi flew somewhere, but where?>>>>>>>>>>>>
She flew to Witch Mountain to have therapeutic tantrums behind closed doors and to recharge her liberal fascist batteries, coached by Hilolita Clinton no doubt.
Trump can take a punch. Pelosi cannot. She is likely trying to figure a way to attack President Trump anonymously through attacking his family , who unfortunately can be vulnerable.
If that happens, the President will put on his stompin’ boots. So far the President has only been using jabs.
Grounding that BITCH was the BEST thing Trump ever did!! WAY TO GO, DONALD!
Geesh .of COURSE we would pay for this....Try to keep up!
