Ryan is in, Pelosi . . . ?

Paul Ryan is in, Nancy Pelosi is weird.

Quietly, behind closed doors, the GOP has nominated Ryan for a second term as speaker, but the Democrats appear to be having misgivings about doing the same for their minority leader Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi.

Over the past few weeks as the election loomed, it was thought that Ryan's leadership was in jeopardy, but when Trump won, and Republicans held onto their majorities in Congress, Ryan was a shoo-in.

But House Democrats were defeated solidly by deplorable voters across the country and it called into question Pelosi's position as leader.

Pelosi, who plans to try her hands at becoming a shadow puppet performer after retiring from politics, was always good at fundraising. She has been on the taxpayer dole as top House Democrat since 2002 and predicted the liberals would retake the House. She was totally wrong--the Dems only secured a small handful of seats of the thirty "Dancing Hands" predicted.

The House Democrats insisted Tuesday that delaying the voting for her seat from Thursday to November 30th is not necessarily a signal of a leadership change. However, they made it clear that the change in venue was in fact over concerns about the future of the Democratic Party.

"We need to decide where we want to fight President-elect Trump and where we want to compromise," said Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.). His home state voted Republican for the first time since 1988.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Oh.) has been suggested as a possible challenger to Pelosi. He spoke privately with other House members without needing to emphasize his thoughts by waving his hands, but has not yet made an official bid for the job.

Even Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur, the longest-serving House Democrat, already signed a letter supporting Pelosi, but said she might reconsider if anyone else in her region would "come into our race."

"This is a moment for us to listen to American people," Kaptur said, but she wasn't being serious, which is why the Democrats got their butts kicked on Election Day.

Congressional Black Caucus Chairman G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) said the decision to delay the vote came "after considerable discussion" and resulted from the party getting a "shellacking" by the voters. He said the party needs to "recalibrate," as if they are made up of air pressure indicators or something as ridiculous.

[The Congressional Black Caucus is a group of black politicians who only allow other black politicians who fall into the Democratic Party line to become a member--they refused Allen West membership due to their intolerance to better ideas.]

Both Butterfield and Boyle said they intend to vote for Pelosi however, many Americans said they would vote for Clinton and look how that turned out. The congressmen said the party lost touch with its working-class electorate, which feels desperately left behind in the new economy.

That may have to do with the fact that the Democratic Party is no longer the party of the middle-class, which is why they lost. They have become the party of future Democratic voters currently known as illegal immigrants. They have become the party of the rich folks who look down upon the middle- and lower-income Americans, referring to us is negative terms.

Privately, House Democrats said that the delayed vote was an indication that rank-and-file members are considering ditching Pelosi.

In true Clinton style, Pelosi said that they originally planned to have the vote on November 30th. "It's not a delay," she said to a group of so-called reporters and photographers.

But in a letter last week to the House Democratic Caucus, Pelosi resisted attempts for a postponement stating that other members "have indicated a strong desire to proceed with elections next week in order to prepare forcefully for the lame duck session and the challenges we will face in January."

On Tuesday, Pelosi said that the Democratic Party has "been through hell," and said "I don't care when the election is," keeping in line with "Democratic truth" as opposed to the "Truth truth."

Highlights of Nuke Talks Rally

New York City saw a protest rally Wednesday against the Iran nuclear deal. Some estimates say there were at least 10,000 protesters there, some left wing media claims there were only about 15 individuals at their count. The demand was for Congress to vote  down the deal Obama has made with Iran which included an Iranian commemorative likeness of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Some of the speakers at the rally included former NY Governor George Pataki, former Manhattan DA Robert M. Morgenthau, senior contributing editor to the Jerusalem Post Caroline Glick, and Steven Emerson, a terrorism expert and founder of the Investigative Project on Terrorism--I highly recommend you read it online.

Pataki addressed the crowd and said that "this isn't a bad deal, it's a God-awful deal, it must be rejected. Congress must do its job and stand up for the American people, stand up for our safety and say 'no' to this Iranian deal."

But I feel it was Allen West whose words resonated the most with the crowd. He basically called out Obama for the weakling he is, and gave a rousing speech for American exceptionalism, something that Obama doesn't believe in. 

There were many pro-Zionists at the event who strongly believe that any deal with Iran will only ensure the danger to Israel. 

Ms. Glick said that "we know what the outcome of this deal will be," and added that "our responsibility as free men and women is to stand up and ensure the security and continuity and strength and morality of the United States of America." 

She was obviously referring to conservatives who actually have those values.

So-called President Obama claims the deal is the only alternative to war in the Middle East, but this is a false claim, made by a man who, when he says "hello," is likely to be lying.

Congress has until September 17th to decide on whether to accept or reject the deal, but Obama has already done an "end run" against Congress by going to the U.N. for approval on sanction-removal, which they did.

New York Senator Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) said that he wasn't ready to make a decision about the deal and did not attend the rally. "I've read the agreement and I'm seeking answers to the many questions I have. Before I make a decision, I'm going to speak at length with experts on both sides," Schumer said, as both nostrils flailed.

Harvard law professor and defense attorney Alan Dershowitz described the rally as a "great display of democracy in action." He then added, "I am here as a liberal Democrat, and I urge my fellow Democrats and liberals to stand together, shoulder-to-shoulder." 

And this is a guy who likely voted for Obama. "Beware of what you wish for, Mr. D."

In an article by the New York Post, it discusses how the Senator refuses to answer 10 key questions about the deal. They believe, as many of us do, that Iran cannot be trusted on any deal and that Schumer ought to nix it. They don't believe the deal needs "studying."

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is meeting with Kerry et al, on the Iranian Nuclear Agreement, as I write this. Kerry made the claim that if we back out of the deal with Iran, they will think of us as "untrustworthy."

That would make him very sad, I suspect.

A long video shot showed Kerry's legs doing a fandango, shaking so much, it was like a bunny being caught by a fox.

And when our Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz has no clue about the 15 points regarding the EMP deal, or what EMP stands for (ElectroMagnetic Pulse), that should make the entire country wake up and smell the ash.

What to Expect if You Meet a Liberal on the Road

You're on your first date and your date suggests a movie that he or she has been dying to see. You ask the name of the flick and you're told: Capitalism: A Love Story, by none other than Michael-I-Ate-The-Whole-Thing-Moore.  There is no question that you're dating a flaming liberal. You have several options:
a) tell him/her that you don't like going to movies on a first date but that you'd like to show your amazing weapons collection.
b) say you've already seen it but that it was written by a seditious Communist and it makes you break out . . . your weapons collection and clean them all.
c) run, run as fast as you can and don't look back.

That example was quite obvious but there are times when it is much less so. Here are a few more examples of how you can distinguish normal, decent people from liberals.
