Pelosi's Expanding Vocabulary

Last June in the heat of the presidential campaign and in the lead up to the FBI's announcement as to whether or not it would recommend indicting Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton for her private email server and failing to properly safeguard classified emails, the then Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, had a private meeting on the tarmac of the Phoenix Airport with Hillary's husband former President Bill Clinton. As Attorney General, Lynch was the boss of FBI Director James Comey - the man making the determination whether to indict or not indict Hillary. This was completely inappropriate and many, myself included, called for Lynch to either resign or at least recuse herself from the decision process. Many but not Rep Nancy Pelosi (D - CA).

A few days later, Director Comey called a press conference where he described a list of potential criminal acts that appeared to have committed by Mrs Clinton but to the amazement of most, he concluded by saying  he was not recommending an indictment based on an incorrect interpretation of the law and because he believed the case wasn't strong enough to get a conviction.

Fast forward 9 month later and Pelosi is demanding that Attorney General Jeff Session recuse himself from the investigation into whether Russia influenced the 2016 presidential campaign because he met with the Russian Ambassador when he was a senator.

Is "recuse" a new word for Speaker Pelosi? Perhaps she got one of those "Word of the Day" calendars in her stocking last Christmas.

Rep Nancy Pelosi - Majority Liar of the House

Nancy Pelosi is a shameless liar. In her typical hyperbolic way, she claims that Republicans are taking food out of the mouths of children, seniors, veterans, etc. by cutting the budget for food stamps. The Republicans have proposed cutting $40 billion over the next ten years from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP which sounds like a lot of money until you consider that the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the program will cost $746 billion between 2013 and 2024. That is less than a 5% cut and just as with any government program, we know that there is plenty of waste, fraud and abuse. Why not try to target that? Cutting the budget forces the government to be better stewards of these funds to make sure those truly deserving get the help they need.

Now that food stamps are given in the form of funds on an Electronic Benefits Transfer card, abusing the system is much easier. We have all either seen for ourselves or heard from others about people buying tobacco, alcohol, cosmetics and many other non-nutritional or non-essential items or using the cards properly but them paying cash for lottery tickets. These people aren't taking food out of the mouths of children, seniors, veterans, etc.? Apparently not in Pelosi's addled mind. Or maybe she just doesn't want to upset one of her big constituencies - food stamp cheats. The rest - illegal alien voters,  welfare recipients and cheats, the dead, and miscreants of every description might not be enough to keep getting her reelected. Given that she represents the 12th district in California which covers much of the area in and around San Francisco, I really don't think she need worry!

Pelosi and the Advice of Five Year Olds

Is it any wonder our country and so many of our children are such a mess? Consider the following. Apparently Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s five year old grandson took valuable time away from his daily perusal of the San Francisco Chronicle, New York Times, and the Washington Post (liberal rags all) to see his grandmother off on her return trip to DC and chat about geo-politics. According to the Congresswoman, the following conversation took place: REP. NANCY PELOSI: …My five-year-old grandson, as I was leaving San Francisco yesterday, he said to me, Mimi, my name, Mimi, war with Syria, are you yes war with Syria, no, war with Syria. And he's five years old. We're not talking about war; we're talking about action. Yes war with Syria, no with war in Syria. I said, 'Well, what do you think?' He said, 'I think no war.' I said, 'Well, I generally agree with that but you know, they have killed hundreds of children, they've killed hundreds of children there. ' And he said, five years old, 'Were these children in the United States?' And I said, 'No, but they're children wherever they are.' (www.realclearpolitics.com, 3 Sep 13). Pelosi then went on to ramble something about our interests which was completely incoherent. Ironically, it seems to me that the five year old gets it whereas grandma doesn’t. More importantly though is, “What kind of adult engages in a conversation like this with a child?” The answer is a liberal Democrat of course! Whatever happened to talking to little boys about their pets, dinosaurs, turtles; Batman, Spiderman and Superman, cars and trucks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc.? Lord willing, a five year old boy in America can currently expect to live to be 79. So that means he has 71 years of being an adult. Can’t liberals allow a kid even 5 years to be, well, a kid, before they begin the, ‘It Takes a Village’, socialist, global consciousness, multiculturalism, ‘make a difference’, blah, blah, blah, clap trap indoctrination? After all, you have them as a captive audience from K-12 in our public school system. Isn’t that enough? Maybe next time, Ms. Pelosi might try saying something to her little grandson like, “Sweetie you don’t need to worry about that. We grownups in Washington are going to take care of that. Listen to your Mommy and Daddy and be a good boy while I’m gone. Love you!” Perhaps with regard to the “We grownups in Washington..” she might be a little reluctant to say that for fear of lying.
