This week, Iran launched 180 ballistic missiles at Israel. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi justified the attack, calling it "an act of self defense against Israel's attempted genocide of the Palestinian people. The Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 and the Hezbollah missile strikes are righteous retaliation for 75 years of illegal Zionist occupation of lands belonging to Palestine. We are not unmerciful. If Israel heeds the warning we sent and vacates the stolen lands the attacks on its civilians will cease." Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) mostly agreed with Iran's position, saying "while Iran's missile strikes were unacceptable, their proposed...

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed Wednesday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that Iran is in a stronger position “nuclear wise” because of the “failed policy of Donald Trump.” Pelosi said, “We want to avoid a bigger war. As you know, full well, that masterfully President Obama had a plan to reduce the capacity of the Iranians to produce a nuclear weapon. The next president in line, he came in and eliminate it that unfortunately, because now Iran is on a path again for enriching uranium or fully taking it closer to having the capacity for a weapon.”

LOS ANGELES, California — Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) traveled to Baldwin Hills to sign legislation restricting oil and gas facilities — and removing the pumpjacks behind him, ending a century of the oil and industry’s role in the area.

Paul Pelosi, the husband of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), sold between $500,000 and $1 million worth of Visa stock, according to public records, just weeks before the Justice Department launched a lawsuit against the credit card company on Tuesday. The finding raises concerns that many members of Congress trade stocks based on information unavailable to the public. Seventy-six percent of voters believe congressional members and their spouses have an “unfair advantage” in trading stocks. Paul Pelosi traded the stock before the DOJ launched a probe into Visa for allegedly monopolizing the debit card market, Bloomberg reported. The New York Post...

We can’t leave people in dangerous...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., suggested that “30%” of Republican voters will never vote for Democrats because of their racism, sexism and homophobia. Speaking at the 2024 Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday, Pelosi was pressed by podcast host Kara Swisher on why the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump is so close. “There are people who will never be, shall we say, inclined to support Democrats because of—they just have a different orientation toward women, people of color, LGBTQ, you know, they just are not ever going to be there,” Pelosi said. “So, say...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) openly doubted that former President Donald Trump would show up to the presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, scheduled for Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With the arrival of yet another wave of allegations of Russian interference in U.S. elections, one American political party that has gone to great lengths to invite foreigners to interfere in elections let foreign nations know it had had enough and wouldn't stand for it any longer. Prominent members of the Democratic Party issued a stern warning to foreign governments and organizations that any efforts to interfere in the Democrats' attempts to interfere in the upcoming U.S. election would be met with severe consequences. "Stop foreign meddling in our elections!" said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” House Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that while she’s not familiar with the details of California’s legislation to allow illegal immigrants to get taxpayer assistance for buying homes, “making the American Dream of home ownership available to all people is something we have to do for people who are here now” and she wants to move illegal immigrants “to documented.” But ultimately, the issue is up to the states. Host Bill Maher asked, “The California lawmakers just passed a law — it hasn’t been signed by Gov. Newsom (D) — but...

For several months, some conservative commentators had pointed to Bill Maher suddenly seeing the light and expressing common sense criticisms of the Democrats as being the greatest conversion since St. Paul rode to Damascus. If you accepted this act as being truthful, forget it. Maher's disenchantment with the Democrats was short lived. It had everything to do with Biden being a certain loser in the November 5th election. Now that Harris has usurped the nomination, Maher is back on the Democratic Party reservation. In the latest episode of "Real Time," Maher lauded Nancy Pelosi and permitted her to lie shamelessly...

Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) expressed fresh frustration at his fellow Republicans on Wednesday in response to newly released video of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi the day after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, showing the California Democrat saying former President Trump has to “pay a price.” When asked to respond to footage showing Pelosi stressing that the National Guard should have been called earlier while stressing a focus on Trump in the riot’s aftermath, Kinzinger said the video evoked fresh memories of that day. “She was reacting how we all did, and it just kind of takes me back to...

When Joe Biden was elected in 2020, an overjoyed Los Angeles Times boasted that his goal was to “make America California again.” Biden has fulfilled the Times’s vision, if with less than complete success.Over the past few weeks, however, lunchbucket Joe from Scranton has been unceremoniously dumped by the Golden State elite — Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, George Clooney and a passel of tech oligarchs — to be replaced with one of their own, Vice President Kamala Harris. But given the chances of a GOP win this year, the Californians have another favorite in the wings, Governor Gavin…When Joe Biden...

The chaos outside the DNC came inside the house on Tuesday when anti-Israel protestors crashed Stephen Colbert’s live CBS broadcast, disrupting what was supposed to be a fluff interview with Nancy Pelosi. Stephen Colbert was interviewing former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) about her new book when shouting was heard from the audience, prompting producers to halt the interview. “The subject is on Israel and Palestine and if you have a seat, we have to go to commercial break,” a clearly peeved Colbert said.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash that "I did what I had to do" when pressed about pushing Joe Biden out of the 2024 race.

CHICAGO — Nancy Pelosi, whose fingerprints are all over the defenestration of President Biden, has expressed deep sadness at the rupture in their relationship. The two go back decades, to a time when a then-young Delaware Sen. Joe Biden was on the rise and Pelosi, a mother of five and devoted Democratic Party volunteer, hosted one of San Francisco’s must-stop political salons. (The kids were pressed into duty as waitstaff.) She now praises Biden as one of the nation’s greatest and most consequential presidents, deserving, even, of a place on Mount Rushmore. But when it comes to campaigns and elections,...
