As Pelosi Departs Speaker Position, She Gets Herself Something Tucked Away on Pg. 610 of Spending Bill
The Western Journal ^ | December 23, 2022 at 6:06am | Richard Moorhead

The Democrat-led Congress is giving a parting gift to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as her long tenure as the party’s leader in the lower chamber comes to an end.

The 2023 omnibus spending bill contains a provision that renames a federal building in California after the 82-year-old congresswoman.

Republican Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina pointed out that the outgoing speaker was so honored in a Tuesday tweet.

“$65 million in two programs for Senator Leahy, and a federal building named for Nancy Pelosi,” he said, referring to Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

“Swamp gonna Swamp,” Bishop said.

The provision that renames the San Francisco Federal Building the “Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building” is tucked 610 pages deep in the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill — which clocks in at a whopping 4,155 pages in total.

The building currently contains office space for five different federal agencies as well as Pelosi’s district offices.

Pelosi herself will have the opportunity to sign off on naming a federal building in her honor when the House takes up the omnibus bill. She’ll no longer be the speaker when the new Republican majority takes effect, although she’s indicated she’s not retiring from Congress.

Democrats such as Lyndon B. Johnson and Franklin D. Roosevelt can point to the Great Society and New Deal programs as their political accomplishments. (Although most conservatives don’t see these big government programs as accomplishments, obviously.)

What is Nancy Pelosi’s signature legislative accomplishment? The 2008 federal bailout of Wall Street? The so-called Affordable Care Act? President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda?

Why does it cost $65 million to rename a building?

That is the question. That would be one heck of a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

I’d be ashamed to work in that building. Hell, I’d be ashamed to be anywhere near that building.

That building is as UGLY as she is.

Coincidental that her building looks like it was designed by a drunk?

I didn’t think they could top Boston’s city hall for ugliness. Was I wrong. This has to be a purposeful in-your-face insult by the gov’t.
