Full title: Newt Gingrich: Pelosi’s grip slips as Ocasio-Cortez and friends throw a party, leave the grandparents at home
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – and the old guard Democrats at large – are in a very difficult position.
The radical young voters that Democrats have been courting for years have finally elected like-minded radical young representatives – and Pelosi, D-Calif., and her leadership team have no control over them.
A big reason why, as I mentioned on “Hannity” this week, is that there is a wide generation gap between Democratic House leaders and freshmen Democrats such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and others.
The median year of birth for the 59 Democrats who assumed office this year is 1973. Sixteen of these members were born on or after 1980.
Nancy Pelosi was born in 1940. The average age of Democratic leaders is 71.
To the new Democrats, the leaders are like the grandparents. And I don’t mean this in a positive way that could foster an opportunity for maternal or paternal mentorships.
The new Democrats believe the Pelosi’s team represents an outdated, backward way of thinking about government. This is understandable. How many 30-somethings do you know who share the same point of view as their 80-year-old grandparents?
The result is that these new Democrats are throwing a party – and the grandparents aren’t invited.
Pelosi and members of Democratic leadership are simply trapped in a cycle of responding to headlines. This is how you end up with the so-called Green New Deal, which is a work of complete legislative fantasy that would utterly bankrupt the country.

The plan is to put forward a new candidate and invest all financial support towards the new one—against AOC in her next primary. At the same time, you’ll begin to see and hear negative marketing against AOC. They are going to take her out in two years. Should be interesting until then though. They want her out!
Most of the candidates the JDs endorsed did not win their primaries. Only SEVEN of the 79 who got endorsements went on to win in November -- and all of them were in districts where Democrats always win anyway.
These people are delusional if they think they have any traction across the entire country. None of these dopes ever would have won in any of the swing districts the Democrats needed to win in order to get a House majority.
I love that graphic, that’s Nancy! :^)
I couldn’t agree more, they’ll never get the support of Conservatives, Republicans, most Independents or sane Democrats.
The first communist coup in America will involve them tossing barbs at Nanzi P., who is apparently in the early stages of dementia. That the DNC put Pelosi as speaker may simply be that they knew she would not finish two years due to advanced age related handicaps.
When it comes to printing money, they think that QE1, 2, 3, and 4bama was normal democrat monetary policy. They will just say, okay we need to change who is the paper bills and recall the old money and devalue the new when printing ... or they might just want to go completely digital.
Newt needs to work on his math.Maybe you do.
There's nothing wrong with his math if you know all the particulars of the "medians" and "averages".
We scared the crap out of them last time, we should show our power again.
Lol.
My initial reaction us to call you a moron, but that’s not nice and I wouldn’t mean it literally.
1. Median dob 1973 —> median age 45 years.
2. Median age leadership 71.
3. 71 - 45 = 26.
26 is awfully young to be a grandparent.
See post 50
Never mind
From the article:
“The median year of birth for the 59 Democrats who assumed office this year is 1973. Sixteen of these members were born on or after 1980.
Nancy Pelosi was born in 1940. The average age of Democratic leaders is 71.”
Median and average aren’t the same thing.
Average age of Democrat leaders would be the sum of the ages of the leaders divided by the number of leaders.
The median year for members is 1973, meaning as many members were born after 1973 as were born before. See the difference?
The country is already utterly bankrupt.
lewislynn told you what was wrong with your “analysis.” But you paid him no heed...tch, tch...shame on you.
Everyone knows median, mean and mode.
Gingrich gave two values. I used them.
Any way you do the math it doesn’t add up to grandparent age differences in general.
Pelosi at 71 and Momo, the youngest at 29, cones close at 42, but that’s a bit young for grandparent, but 42 yo grandparents are out there.
IT's the puppet masters dream. Every transaction will have a banking fee attached to it. Taxes will be automatically deducted from the account. People will be punished and rewarded for good and bad behavior by the credits in their account.
Of course, an underground economy will emerge with an alternate money (old silver coins? barter?) source. But I wonder how effective that will be with the lack of privacy that already exists.
Cruise ships have a cashless society, except for tips which aren't part of the structure. Nobody complains about it.
Nancy Pelosi is currently 77 years old. She will be 78 on the 26th. of this month.
On the “Italian female with Platinum healthcare” scale, she’s probably good for two decades and more.
Yeah. But if old Mother Nature or God decides it’s time for a stroke or heart attack, well, the best health insurance isn’t going to stop that. Besides, seriously Nancy is having issues that certainly the Leftist media is totally ignoring and that is she’s either experiencing the onset of Parkinson’s Disease or some form of dementia.
