CLAIM: “On January 6th…we begged the President of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it.” VERDICT: FALSE. Trump offered the National Guard ahead of time, but Democrats refused. Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed Tuesday in a news conference on Capitol Hill that President Trump refused to send the National Guard to protect the Capitol from rioters on January 6, 2021. She made her remarks among other California Democrats, who called on the President to withdraw the Guard and the Marines from L.A. Some, such as L.A. Mayor Karen Bass,...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, called out President Donald Trump for refusing to send in the National Guard during the Jan. 6 riot, in contrast to his deploying the National Guard and Marines against protesters in Los Angeles. “Something is very wrong with this picture.”

The official report of the House Select Committee, which runs to more than 800 pages, is too deeply biased to give much help. This was foreordained given the hyper-partisan way the Select Committee was formed. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s two Republican appointments to the committee—Representatives Jim Jordan and Jim Banks—and instead appointed two virulently anti-Trump Republicans, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.More important than the report’s factual errors are the serious questions never investigated by the Select Committee. Why did Democrat congressional leaders turn down repeated offers of National Guard troops to protect the...

Biden Jr. suffered from a “mental affliction.” ...Among other things, he reposted an old video of Ms. Pelosi, under which the author of the original post referred to her with a vulgar sexist epithet.

The Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel voted Monday to void activist David Hogg’s election to vice chair of the party. Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., was elected vice chair in February but has drawn criticism from some Democrats over his plans to spend $20 million to take down long-serving Democratic House lawmakers in primaries. “[It’s] impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,” Hogg said in a statement after the vote, according to Politico. “The DNC has...

New Pope Leo XIV’s brother shared gross post calling Nancy Pelosi a ‘drunk c—‘ One of Pope Leo XIV’s brothers put up a series of pro-Trump posts online — and shared one that called Rep. Nancy Pelosi a “drunk c—” — before his sibling was elected pontiff, according to a report. A cache of Facebook posts from Louis Prevost, 73, indicate the pope’s sibling is an ardent MAGA fan, the Daily Beast reported. In one lewd post, he reportedly shared a video of Pelosi, a Democrat from California, speaking in 1996 with the caption, “These f–king liberals crying about tariffs...

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) expressed hope Friday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” that the newly elected pope will speak out against the Trump administration’s mass deportations. Jansing said, “His social media was busy prior to becoming pope and is getting attention. It includes a post he shared just last month from a Catholic commentator who called out Trump and the president of El Salvador for laughing about the deportation of Rodrigo Garcia. And then in February, he also reposted an article from the National Catholic Reporter that was titled JD Vance is wrong, Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our...

Interesting how there has been a significant lessenimg of the radical rhetoric from some leftist Denocrat mouthpieces. Pelosi has all but disappeared. Cheney has been quiet. Others have settled way down too. Only Jasmine Crockett has been going off inviting trouble for herself. Someone needs to give it to her.

A former top advisor to ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is not meeting the moment in the current Trump era. “Trump is just giving us all this incredible red meat. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s like the biggest gift any party has been given by the opposition, and we’re just squandering it, to a degree,” former Pelosi advisor Ashley Etienne told Politico’s Deep Dive podcast. Etienne helped Pelosi oversee Democrats’ messaging during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment. She also previously worked for former Vice President Kamala Harris and former...

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is reintroducing legislation Monday that would ban members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks while in office. Hawley introduced the "PELOSI Act" in 2023, but failed to make progress under President Joe Biden's administration. The proposal has since gained popularity among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and President Donald Trump himself said last week that he would "absolutely" sign such a ban if it came to his desk. "Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve—not day trading at the expense of their constituents," Hawley told...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday she will be joining the bipartisan Congressional Delegation to attend Pope Francis’ funeral in the Vatican on Saturday. Despite claiming to be Catholic, in 2022 Pelosi was denied holy communion by the Archbishop of San Francisco due to her pro-abortion views, which conflict with Church teachings. ... After numerous attempts to speak with Speaker Pelosi to help her understand the grave evil she is perpetrating, the scandal she is causing, and the danger to her own soul she is risking, I have determined that she is not to be admitted to Holy Communion,”...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a press conference in San Francisco today with small business owners and community leaders as part of the House Democrats’ “Cost of Living Week of Action.” The purpose of the address was to whine about Trump’s tariffs and economic policies. But what should have been a relatively uneventful speech went viral after Pelosi had some further complications, which will only heighten the cries for her...

Friday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he saw Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) emerging as a leader in the Democratic Party. He predicted a civil war with Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) lining up against former President Joe Biden, former Vice President Kamala Harris, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). “[T]he DNC is supposed to unite the party, but what we’re watching live is a civil war inside the Democratic Party, and they’re fighting for new leadership,” he said. “And this...

Nancy Pelosi is adamant she won’t release her grip on the Democrat Party despite their resounding defeat in 2024 and a growing chorus urging her to step down.. Joe Biden named Pelosi one of the chief architects of the move to push him aside .. she was instrumental in the disastrous $1 billion campaign – leading the party to lose the White House, Senate and House of Representatives. ...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed a bombshell Wall Street Journal report on former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline a month after the California Democrat confided in friends that she was alarmed by how much he had aged, according to a new book. “He was not the same Joe Biden,” Pelosi reportedly told a friend of the then-president’s condition after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom award during a May 2024 White House ceremony. The claim is from author Chris Whipple’s new book, “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History.” Whipple wrote...

It’s a beautiful Saturday but there's just one thing missing … people. Like literally any people anywhere. On this particular Saturday I walked around for a half hour and could just about count all the people I saw on one hand. So what’s going on here… why are there all of these beautiful new buildings but seemingly no one here to use them? For that we need look at what led up to the Baltimore Peninsula Redevelopment Project as...

Karoline Leavitt went off during a press briefing on Tuesday, calling out the hypocrisy in the Democratic Party over President Trump’s tariffs and using their own words against them. Tariffs on trade partners, including 104% tariffs against China, will go into effect tonight at midnight after they retaliated against discounted reciprocal tariffs, and President Trump punched back hard. Trump announced 34% tariffs against China and other “discounted reciprocal” tariffs against dozens of U.S. trading partners during his Make America Wealthy Again Event last Wednesday, April 2. The White House has long referred to this date as “Liberation Day.” Because of...

WASHINGTON, DC: An unearthed 1996 video shows then-Representative Nancy Pelosi passionately demanding the US push back on China's lopsided tariffs - sounding eerily like Donald Trump decades before his presidency made it a headline issue. In a video captured on the House floor back in June 1996, the congresswoman passionately urged her fellow lawmakers to challenge the “status quo” trade practices that had fueled the growing US trade deficit with China, reported by Fox News. Pelosi delivered a sharp critique of a bipartisan effort to grant China Most Favored Nation (MFN) trade status. She highlighted the lopsided nature of the...
