Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is an “obstacle” in a two-state solution between Israel and Gaza and said he should resign. In an interview with RTÉ’s Six One News during a visit to Ireland, Pelosi spoke about the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel and Netanyahu’s deadly counteroffensive that has left more than 34,000 Palestinians dead, according to local health officials. “We recognize Israel’s right to protect itself. We reject the policy and the practice of Netanyahu,” she said. “Terrible. What could be worse than what he has done in response?” “He should...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that Republicans had hit “rock bottom” after the GOP’s national committee characterized the Capitol riot as “legitimate political discourse” when it censured Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for participating in the House select committee investigating the violence. “The Republicans seem to be having a limbo contest with themselves to see how low they can go,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said at her weekly news conference. “They seem to have reached rock bottom with their statement that what happened on Jan. 6 was legitimate political discourse.”

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was honored on Friday at a memorial service in Las Vegas, attended by President Biden, former President Barack Obama and other former colleagues who spoke of Reid’s integrity and humility.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) signaled that they are open to increasing the amount for the stimulus checks after President Donald Trump threatened to veto the COVID relief bill unless the direct payment was increased to $2,000 per individual.“Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000—Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!” Pelosi wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.“We spent months trying to secure $2,000 checks but Republicans blocked it. Trump...

While admitting on Monday that he could see the shutdown debate from both sides of the issue, Fox News contributor Dan Bongino said that it was a bit much to watch House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ride out the pandemic from her multi-million dollar mansion while denigrating those who are protesting the shutdown in Michigan, Ohio, and elsewhere. Bongino said that Pelosi, who is insulated from the economic effects of a prolonged shutdown, should have more compassion for those who are not. Bongino said he was taken aback by Pelosi’s recent interview with Chris Wallace, in which she was “seemingly confused...

Americans are losing their jobs since the virus rocked the economy. Nancy Pelosi blocks funding for people to keep getting paychecks. But she’s got a $24K fridge full of ice cream, so she’s cool.

Presidential historians will note that the re-election of President Donald Trump was not secured in November of 2020, but nine months earlier in February. In a span of two days, Democrats displayed to the country why their party should not be given political power. In Iowa, Democrats could not conduct a simple presidential caucus with relatively few voters participating. The totals were not announced on Monday night due to “irregularities.” The embarrassment even caused liberal media outlets to denounce the Democratic Party’s ineptitude. By the next day, only 71% of the vote had been released. Clearly, the bungling leads many...

Did you notice how presidential President Donald Trump appeared at his press conference on Iran? It was a fitting symbol for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's colossal failure in withholding the impeachment articles from the Senate. Whatever Pelosi's loony strategy -- her unorthodox decision to withhold is only about strategy and not principle -- she has ensured that the hyperpartisan impeachment will be viewed for exactly what it was. For all the Democrats' manufactured impeachment drama, people seem to care less and less about the their shameless effort to affix a scarlet letter to Trump's presidential record. Have you also noticed...

RUSH: James Rosen is a journalist spied on by the Obama administration. He used to be at Fox News. He’s now a Sinclair Broadcasting reporter, and James Rosen today at Pelosi’s press conference said, “Do you hate the president, Madam Speaker?” Chad Pergram: What Nancy Pelosi didn't sayROSEN: Do you hate the president, Madam Speaker? PELOSI: I don’t hate anybody. ROSEN: Representative Collins — PELOSI: I was raised in Catholic house — ROSEN: The reason I ask – PELOSI: We don’t hate anybody, not anybody in the world. So don’t you accuse me. ROSEN: I did not accuse you. PELOSI:...

Captured from Fox & Friends this morning, President Trump wants his day in court (Senate) and wants a trial. Note: I captured the video and uploaded to YouTube. I did not insert any ads or extraneous crap into the video. YouTube may do their own hijinks with it, that's not up to me.

George Mason University students were shocked that President Donald Trump attempted to make compromises with Democrats to get the border wall built, as shown on a video from CampusReform.org posted Friday. Cabot Phillips, the media director for CampusReform, went to the campus recently to talk to students. He asked them who they blamed the government shutdown on. All of the students in the video said Trump. “I think specifically Trump,” one student said. “This has been the longest government shutdown and he is mainly responsible.” Phillips then asked students if Democrats should consider Trump’s offer for a wall if...

Thursday, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi reclaimed the speaker’s gavel, the 78-year-old congresswoman from California, is now the Speaker of the House. The team here at Townhall reported extensively on the topic, both her becoming Speaker of The House and President Trump's reaction.  In her honor, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) wasted no time in aiming for Speaker Pelosi by releasing a video of her "greatest gaffes."“Please God, let Nancy Pelosi continue to be the voice of the Democratic party," the video begins with the former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee stating. Then the mistakes in word choices and slip-ups begin as it shows Pelosi referring...

As reported here on Townhall by my boss Matt, President Trump made a special appearance this evening in the White House briefing room where he congratulated Nancy Pelosi on becoming Speaker of The House while also speaking to his main point of urging Democrats to support and fund the wall. Trump yet again stated that without a wall, you couldn't have a secure U.S. and Mexico border. President Trump brought different voices to the table by having former, and current border patrol agents there to speak to why a wall is non-negotiable."Without a wall you can not have border security," Trump...

This is not our first partial government shutdown. Somehow, someway, from 1976 through 2017, the nation has survived 18 shutdowns, the longest lasting 21 days. In this case, President Donald Trump insists that the next budget deal contain $5 billion to construct a wall on part of our southern border with Mexico. Trump, say the Democrats, is "unwilling to compromise." But when he asks for only $5 billion for a project with a U.S. Customs and Border Protection estimated price tag of $18 billion spent over 10 years, that is already a compromise. That $18 billion amounts to 0.0338 percent...

Democrats are planning to force a vote in the Senate this week on overturning a Trump administration rule expanding non-ObamaCare insurance plans. The Democratic resolution, which will likely get a vote on Wednesday, would overturn a rule finalized in August that expanded the availability of short-term health insurance plans. Democrats decry the plans as “junk” insurance because they does not need to cover pre-existing conditions or follow other ObamaCare rules. Republicans argue the plans provide a cheaper option alongside ObamaCare plans. The resolution, which is supported by all 49 Senate Democrats, is unlikely to pass given that it would need...
