Nancy "Hands-a-Flying" Pelosi kept Swalwell on Intel Committee after FBI warnings

There are bad ideas, there are terrible ideas, and then there is allowing a congressman who admitted having an intimate relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative to remain on the House Intelligence Committee.

Apparently, Washington Democrats were determined to explore that third category.

When allegations involving Rep. Eric Swalwell and Fang Fang, a woman suspected of ties to Chinese intelligence, surfaced in 2020, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefed on the FBI’s findings. We now know the bureau had evidence that Fang may have compromised Swalwell through sex, foreign interns and allegedly illicit campaign donations.

And yet somehow the Democratic leadership concluded that the appropriate response was not, “Perhaps we should move this guy away from the classified information.”

Instead, Swalwell stayed.

Because apparently “House Intelligence Committee” was being interpreted as more of a suggestion than a job description.

The FBI briefings were serious enough to alarm then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who called for Swalwell to be removed from the committee. McCarthy was concerned that a congressman with access to highly sensitive intelligence might not be the ideal person to have around highly sensitive intelligence.

Crazy, right?

Sex, Interns and Campaign Cash

The newly released FBI files provide considerably more detail about the relationship between Swalwell and Fang.

According to the files, Swalwell admitted having sex with Fang, acknowledged that his staff had placed Fang’s interns in congressional offices, and admitted that his campaign finance operation was not sophisticated enough to detect the alleged straw donations she funneled through U.S. citizens.

So, to recap, the FBI was dealing with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative who allegedly cultivated American politicians through networking, campaign donations, internships and romantic relationships.

And one of those politicians was sitting on the House Intelligence Committee.

This sounds less like counterintelligence and more like the plot of a spy movie written by people who thought the protagonist should be named “Congressman Completely Unconcerned.”

The FBI also knew Fang had ties to China’s Ministry of State Security, Beijing’s intelligence service. Investigators identified her parents as MSS agents.

Fang’s activities had previously been reported by Axios, which described her efforts to cultivate politicians in California through fundraising, networking, charm and romantic or sexual relationships.

Swalwell was reportedly one of her most significant targets.

Swalwell has consistently maintained that he did nothing wrong, fully cooperated with the FBI investigation, and stopped communicating with Fang after receiving a defensive briefing about her activities.

Swalwell’s Lawyer Says This Is All Political

After the files were released, Swalwell’s attorney, Sara Azari, argued that there was nothing new to see.

“There is nothing new here. The government’s own memorandum confirms what Congressman Swalwell has said for more than a decade: he did nothing wrong, and there was no basis to charge him with any offense,” said Sara Azari, legal counsel for Swalwell, on Monday after the files were released. “What is new and deeply concerning is the apparent use of federal law enforcement information to punish or embarrass an outspoken critic of the current administration. An investigation that produced no charges and no finding of wrongdoing should not be resurrected years later as a vehicle for political retaliation.”

That is certainly one way to describe the situation.

Another would be: “The FBI investigated a congressman who admitted sleeping with a woman the bureau believed was connected to Chinese intelligence, and now everyone is upset that people are talking about it.”

Both descriptions are technically available.

After the original allegations surfaced, McCarthy said they “disqualified” Swalwell from serving on the Intelligence Committee.

“Swalwell is a national security liability,” the Republican leader said.

McCarthy then requested a full FBI briefing. After receiving it, he became even more convinced Swalwell should be removed.

“One thing I know for sure — I had questions about whether he should. That’s the one question that was answered, he should not be on Intel,” McCarthy told reporters.

That seems fairly definitive.

Pelosi: Nothing to See Here

Pelosi later confirmed that Democratic leadership had first been briefed about Swalwell’s relationship with Fang in the spring of 2015, shortly after Democrats nominated him to the Intelligence Committee.

Pelosi said congressional Democrats cut off communication with Fang once they learned about the situation.

“When that was made known to the members of Congress, it was over. That was the end of any communication with those people,” Pelosi said.

The Speaker also said Republicans had been briefed at the same time.

“We knew when they knew,” explained Pelosi.

And then came the part that has aged particularly well.

Summing up her assessment of Swalwell, Pelosi told reporters that she did not “have any concerns about Mr. Swalwell.”

Naturally.

Nothing inspires confidence in congressional counterintelligence quite like a suspected Chinese spy sleeping with a member of the Intelligence Committee while party leadership says there are “no concerns.”

McCarthy tried to remove Swalwell from the committee in early 2021 after Pelosi reappointed him.

The House voted largely along party lines to reject the measure, with 200 members voting for removal and 218 voting against it.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff also defended Swalwell, calling him a “trusted member of our committee” who had “acted fully in accordance with his responsibilities” after the 2015 briefing.

Apparently those responsibilities included continuing to sit on the committee.

McCarthy: Democrats “Jeopardized” Congress

When Republicans regained control of the House in 2023, McCarthy blocked Swalwell from serving on the Intelligence Committee.

“If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn’t have Swalwell on any committee,” McCarthy said.

“One thing I know for sure – I had questions about whether he should. That’s the one question that was answered, he should not be on Intel.”

McCarthy said Democratic leadership had “jeopardized” Congress by allowing Swalwell to remain on a committee handling sensitive intelligence for years.

“The only way that they even knew it came forward is when they went to nominate him to the Intel Committee. And then the FBI came and told the leadership then, he’s got a problem,” McCarthy explained. “And they kept him on. That jeopardized all of us.”

That is the sort of sentence that tends to make people wonder why national security was apparently being handled with the same urgency as deciding where to hold the congressional Christmas party.

Then Came the New Details

The newly released files reveal even more about what the FBI knew.

According to the documents, the FBI initially considered investigating Swalwell for a bribery scheme involving campaign donations and internships. Investigators ultimately narrowed the criminal case to Fang and allegations that she made illegal donations through U.S.-citizen conduits.

Swalwell admitted that he had sex with Fang, that his staff placed her interns in congressional offices, and that his campaign finance system was not strong enough to detect the alleged straw donations.

The Justice Department ultimately declined to prosecute Fang after she fled the country as investigators began interviewing associates and raiding her home.

The FBI had also been trying to recruit Fang as a confidential informant.

Her code name?

“Rusty Thumbs.”

Yes, “Rusty Thumbs.”

Apparently the FBI's counterintelligence operation had a naming committee that was having a particularly creative afternoon.

The bureau was considering hiring Fang through a cutout company and was still evaluating her suitability as a confidential human source when investigators discovered her alleged criminal activity.

The FBI also knew early in the recruitment process that Fang had suspected ties to the MSS. One memo identified her parents as “known MSS intelligence officers.”

Agents also suspected Fang herself had ties to Chinese intelligence and knew she was raising money for California Democrats and allegedly willing to use sex to advance her political influence.

The investigation was opened on March 17, 2014, under the remarkably appropriate codename “Freshman Fifteen.”

The probe examined allegations that Swalwell awarded congressional internships in exchange for campaign contributions, with Fang allegedly serving as the facilitator.

According to an FBI summary of Swalwell’s 2015 interview, Swalwell admitted that he had “physical relations with Fang” on multiple occasions.

During another interview in 2016, Swalwell described an incident in which Fang showed up at his home. Swalwell said they “hooked up,” according to the FBI summary.

And all of this was known before Democrats repeatedly decided that Swalwell belonged on the House Intelligence Committee.

At some point, the question stops being whether Eric Swalwell had a questionable relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.

The more interesting question is why the people who had been briefed about it decided that the appropriate response was to give him access to some of the most sensitive intelligence in the United States government.

Then again, Washington has always had an interesting definition of “intelligence.” Sometimes it apparently means classified information.

Sometimes it means figuring out that the guy sleeping with a suspected Chinese spy probably shouldn't be sitting on the Intelligence Committee.

Florida Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigns from Congress

Former Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and her eyelashes 

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) resigned from Congress today, Tuesday, April 21, 2026. The resignation went down just minutes before a scheduled House Ethics Committee hearing set to consider formal disciplinary action, which could have included expulsion recommendations.

The committee had previously found "clear and convincing evidence" of 25 out of 27 violations related to ethics rules and campaign finance laws, including allegations that she misused millions in federal COVID-era FEMA disaster relief funds (improperly sent to her family's health care company) to support her 2022 congressional campaign.
Cherfilus-McCormick said in her arrogant statement that the process was a "witch hunt" and unfair "political games," saying she chose to step away rather than continue. Her resignation is effective immediately.

"Rather than play these political games, I choose to step away so I can devote my time to fighting for my neighbors in Florida's 20th District," she wrote on social media Tuesday afternoon. "I hereby resign from the 119th Congress, effective immediately."

"This fight is far from over," Cherfilus-McCormick, who was indicted by a grand jury last year for allegedly stealing COVID-19 emergency funds, added in her statement.

She is facing 53 years in prison as part of a separate criminal indictment. The chances that her actually serving that sentence is as remote as JD Pritzker running a marathon.

Her abrupt announcement came after Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) pledged to file a motion to expel her, teeing up a vote later this week. It takes two-thirds of the House to remove a lawmaker, but a growing number of Democrats have voiced support for the expulsion effort.

House Ethics Chairman Michael Guest (R-MS) announced the panel lost jurisdiction with Cherfilus-McCormick's eleventh-hour decision to quit Congress. The committee panel dropped a bombshell back in March, uncovering "clear and convincing evidence" that Florida Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick had misused federal disaster relief money, funneled improperly straight to her family’s healthcare company, along with a boatload of other misconduct that would make even the most jaded Capitol Hill veteran raise an eyebrow.

Cherfilus-McCormick, of course, has denied any wrongdoing from day one and repeatedly swatted away any chatter that she might actually resign if faced with the real possibility of an expulsion vote.

She took to social media to blast the entire ethics investigation as a "witch hunt" and whined about supposed violations of her due process rights, even though the committee had bent over backward to accommodate her, granting a delay earlier this year when she temporarily lost her legal representation.

But Rep. Michael Guest wasn’t having any of it on Tuesday. The Mississippi Republican pushed back hard on that narrative, pointing out that Cherfilus-McCormick had repeatedly turned down the committee’s invitations to hand over any exculpatory evidence that might clear her name."The committee has worked diligently to investigate this matter," Guest said. "This was not a rush to judgment, as some would claim … this was a very deliberate process to gather information into allegations that were extremely serious, and extremely complicated."

Guest also made sure to thank the committee staff who had spent more than two years grinding through this mess, poring over tens of thousands of documents to get to the bottom of Cherfilus-McCormick’s alleged shenanigans.

And just like that, she became the third lawmaker to resign from Congress in the past week alone. California Democrat Eric Swalwell and Texas Republican Tony Gonzales both stepped down last week to dodge their own expulsion threats tied to serious sexual misconduct allegations.

At least five women have now come forward accusing Swalwell of sexual assault and rape. Gonzales, for his part, admitted to sexual misconduct back in March with a former aide, who later tragically died by suicide.

Despite the storm clouds, Cherfilus-McCormick went ahead and filed for re-election anyway, though her fundraising tells a different story: she scraped together a measly $11,000 in the first quarter of the year, according to the latest FEC filings. Whether she plans to actually keep that campaign alive remains to be seen.

Notably, Cherfilus-McCormick herself wasn’t even on the House floor when her resignation announcement was read aloud.

A staffer for the congresswoman told reporters she was back in Washington with her family as the news dropped.

"She's with her family digesting this development and digesting this decision," the aide said. "As you can imagine, this wasn't what she wanted."

House Democratic leadership stayed conspicuously silent in the run-up to her resignation announcement, even after the Ethics Committee laid out the extensive misconduct in painstaking detail.

But it looks like Cherfilus-McCormick finally caved once a wave of her own Democratic colleagues made it crystal clear they’d vote to expel her if that rare removal vote ever hit the floor.

Former Speaker Nancy Hands-a-Flying Pelosi, never one to mince words, went on Fox News Tuesday and basically said enough is enough: "Let’s just get this over with."

Pelosi also called for the swift boot of embattled Rep. Cory Mills, the Florida Republican currently under Ethics Committee scrutiny for an alleged domestic violence incident and other issues.

"These cases just being out there . . .  they make us look terrible," Pelosi said.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, meanwhile, didn’t publicly call on Cherfilus-McCormick to step down before she pulled the plug.

On the other side of the aisle, Speaker Mike Johnson argued that the Ethics Committee should be allowed to finish its work on Mills before any punishment gets considered.

"I'm confident that they are moving along as quickly as they are able," Johnson told Fox News. "And when members cooperate, which my understanding is Representative Mills is cooperating, unlike Cherfilus-McCormick, I would expect that the outcome would be much sooner."

"He's very upset about some of the allegations that have been made," Johnson added of Mills. "He says that he wants to prove his innocence, and he has the opportunity to do that."

By the way, this resignation didn’t fly under the radar, major outlets across the spectrum, Brain Flushings, PBS and CNN to CBS, Fox News, The Hill, Politico, Reuters, NBC, and The Washington Post, all jumped on the story today.

Swalwell gets the Dem hook for sexual misconduct allegations

"It's this big"

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) just dropped a political grenade on Monday, announcing he would resign his congressional seat in the wake of multiple bombshell reports from last Friday that kneecapped his already-flailing bid to become the next governor of California.

"I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past," Swalwell said in a statement. "I will fight the serious, false allegations made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make."

Mistake in judgment? His behavior [allegedly] was not a 'mistake,' it was on purpose [allegedly] and an ongoing behavior [allegedly].

"I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong," he continued. "But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress."

Funny, but isn't that exactly what he wanted to happen to Justice Kavanaugh during the hearings for his appointment to SCOTUS?

At least four women have accused Swalwell [aka Swell-well] of sexual misconduct, including a former aide who alleged he raped her when she was intoxicated and could not consent, according to reporting from the Compromised News Network (CNN) and The San Francisco Chronicle.

Swalwell’s abrupt resignation announcement looks like a desperate sprint to the exits, potentially short-circuiting a bipartisan push to expel him from the House that was set to ramp up as early as this week.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the no-nonsense Florida Republican, was gearing up to introduce a resolution to boot Swalwell on Tuesday and had been pressing House GOP leadership to hold a vote on Wednesday.

Luna called on lawmakers from both parties to set aside "ideological differences" and back her measure alongside a separate expulsion effort targeting embattled Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) led by Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM).

"It is our responsibility, according to the Constitution and House rules, to hold one another accountable, especially when it brings dishonor upon the institution," Luna wrote to her House colleagues Tuesday in a letter reviewed by Fox News Digital. "We as Members of Congress need to stand together in publicly condemning this behavior and restore the trust we have lost with the American people."

The Florida Republican had warned over the weekend that she’d draft the expulsion papers if Swalwell didn’t resign by the time lawmakers returned to Washington on Tuesday. Luna’s resolution was on track to pick up serious bipartisan backing.

Even Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), a leading progressive voice, was among the Democrats voicing support for the expulsion drive.

Other Democrats urged Swalwell to step down but stopped short of endorsing Luna’s hard-line resolution.

The Democratic backlash following the San Francisco Chronicle’s gut-wrenching reporting triggered a stampede of Swalwell’s colleagues and longtime allies yanking their endorsements for his now-suspended gubernatorial campaign — including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi herself.

Swalwell bailed on the 2026 primary to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday, despite polling that had him looking like a top-tier contender just days earlier.

Swalwell first entered the House in 2013. Prior to that, he worked as a prosecutor in the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and served on the Dublin, California, city council starting in 2010.

In Congress, he was a key player in the 2019 impeachment push against President Donald Trump and, before that, helmed investigations into whether Russian meddling actually swung the 2016 election.

Whether this resignation spells the final chapter of Swalwell’s political career remains to be seen.

"I'm outta here"

The Chronicle’s Friday bombshell laid out graphic details from a woman accusing Swalwell of targeting intoxicated women, pressuring staffers into compromising situations, and soliciting explicit images from female contacts.

Whispers of misconduct had started bubbling earlier this month when Cheyenne Hunt, a former Capitol Hill staffer turned political commentator, began sharing testimony from women claiming they were sexually assaulted by the congressman.

"The Democratic candidate currently leading in the California governor’s race has a known history of being predatory towards women," Hunt posted on social media.

Swalwell’s team initially went radio silent before pushing back in comments to the New York Post earlier this week.

"This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists because they know Eric Swalwell is the frontrunner in this race," spokesperson Micah Beasley said.

Swalwell’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment because to do so would be a political blunder.

Pelosi Channels Her Inner Godzilla: Trump Is 'the Worst Thing on the Face of the Earth'

If you thought Nancy Pelosi's [aka Frenetic Hands] eyelid flutter was the most mesmerizing thing about her, think again. The former Speaker, who's apparently auditioning for a role in a dystopian sci-fi flick where she plays the unhinged oracle of the resistance, dropped a bombshell on Monday that has conservatives reaching for the smelling salts, or, more likely, the popcorn.

In an interview with Elex Michaelson on the Communist News Network (CNN), Pelosi didn't hold back on her eternal flame for Donald Trump. "He’s just a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the earth," she declared, as if she'd just discovered the secret ingredient in her next batch of insider-trading stock tips was pure, unadulterated bile.

Michaelson, to his credit, pressed the point: "You think he's the worst thing on the Face of the Earth?"

"I do, yeah, I do," Pelosi confirmed, possibly hoping some lunatic who watches this network will take her words and save America.

When asked to elaborate on this earth-shattering judgment, because, you know, curiosity killed the cat but apparently not the cable news segment, Frenetic Hands unleashed a litany of grievances that read like a rejected script from a bad Law & Order spinoff. "Because he’s the President of the United States and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact, he’s turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He's abolished the House of Representatives, he's chilled the press, he’s scared people who are in the country legally."

Abolished the House of Representatives? Now there's a claim that's easily examined.

 Last I checked, Nancy, you're the one who spent years turning it into your personal fiefdom, complete with gavels and grudge-holding galore. But hey, in the parallel universe where Democrats still control the narrative, Trump's apparently the guy who hid the keys to the filibuster.

The clip hit social media like a lead balloon, or more accurately, like one of those Pelosi wine coolers that explodes under pressure, and conservatives didn't waste a nanosecond piling on. The backlash was swift, savage, and about as subtle as a sledgehammer to a piñata.

"More dehumanizing Democrat language about Republicans," tweeted NRCC National War Room director Ben Petersen, nailing the point that if this were flipped, MSNBC would be holding emergency town halls on "toxic masculinity" by now.

Piers Morgan, never one to mince words (or his British disdain), chimed in with the perfect eye-roll: "FFS… this is so absurd," he posted on X. "Worse than Hamas terrorists? Iranian mullahs? Putin? Jong-Un? Democrat dinosaurs like Pelosi don’t know anything but over-demonising Trump. It’s why they’re polling so badly."

Fox News contributor and former Trump operative Steve Cortes went full scorched-earth: "There cannot be a ‘compromise’ with hateful Leftist charlatans," he declared on X. "It’s an unbridgeable gap. We just have to win. Let’s do it!"

And conservative communicator Steve Guest posted on X: "I see Nancy Pelosi has ZERO interest in toning down the rhetoric," he observed, because apparently, self-awareness is the one constitutional right Pelosi skipped class on.

Even a Trump White House account couldn't resist the low-hanging fruit: "Very sad to see what little was left of her addled, demented mind evaporate as she becomes fully engulfed in hatred," it posted on X. "Sick!"

Tell us how you really feel WH.

Look, we've heard this tune before: the endless drumbeat of demonization from the blue-check brigade that's somehow shocked, shocked, when it inspires the occasional unhinged soul with a manifesto and a bad haircut. But at this stage, it's less rhetoric and more relic, a greatest-hits album of grievances spinning on a scratched vinyl played on a worn-out Victrola.

When Fox News Digital reached out for comment, Pelosi's office fired back with all the grace of a Twitter troll: a screenshot of a Newsweek headline screaming, "Trump Launches Attack on Nancy Pelosi: Disgusting Degenerate." Classy as ever, Nancy. Nothing says "unifier" like screenshot warfare. Oh, and timing being everything, this outburst drops just as whispers swirl about Pelosi's sunset tour. NBC News reported Monday that Pelosi is poised to "make an announcement" post-Election Day about her political future, with insiders betting she'll hang up her gavel for good at term's end. A graceful exit or is it just the universe's way of saying, "Thanks for playing, try the retirement community"?

But don't hold your breath for introspection. When Fox News Digital queried the retirement buzz, spokesperson Ian Krager swatted it away like a fly at a Botox convention: "Speaker Pelosi is fully focused on her mission to win the Yes on 50 special election in California on Tuesday," he insisted. "She urges all Californians to join in that mission on the path to taking back the House for the Democrats." [And the socialists.]

For the uninitiated, "Yes on 50" is the Democrats' latest Hail Mary: a ballot measure to let California's legislature bench the nonpartisan redistricting commission and gerrymander a new congressional map friendlier to the Left ahead of 2026. Because nothing screams "democracy" like overriding the voters to stack the deck.

Pelosi's legacy is a masterclass in power plays, partisan pyrotechnics, and now, apparently, planetary-scale pettiness. As Trump might say, it's going to be a wild ride—but for once, maybe the dinosaurs are finally headed for the tar pits.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.

BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi had major surgery in Germany after hard fall

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had surgery for a hip replacement overseas after she fell earlier this week in Luxembourg, Germany, according to her spokesperson.

"Earlier this morning, Speaker Emerita Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement and is well on the mend," the Pelosi spokesperson stated.

"Speaker Pelosi is grateful to U.S. military staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base and medical staff at Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg for their excellent care and kindness."

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi speaks during Nancy Pelosi in conversation with Katie Couric at 92NY on Oct. 24, 2024, in New York City.

"Speaker Pelosi is enjoying the overwhelming outpouring of prayers and well wishes and is ever determined to ensure access to quality health care for all Americans."

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information comes to light.

BREAKING: Pelosi's injuries in Luxembourg actually quite serious

Rep. Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (D-CA) is currently recovering in a hospital in Luxembourg after an accident on a congressional trip. According to initial reports, the California Democrat was injured while participating in events for a delegation. It appears that the injuries were significant enough to prevent the former House Speaker from attending further events on the trip.

"While traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation,” a spokesperson for Pelosi said.

"Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals. She continues to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation's history. Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War II and their role in bringing peace to Europe,” the statement went on to say.

It has been revealed that Pelosi's injury was a hip fracture, which is not unusual for someone 84-years-old but is quite serious. 

Here's what happened:

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized on Friday after being injured while traveling abroad on a bipartisan congressional delegation to Luxembourg, a spokesman said on Friday.

Ms. Pelosi, 84, “sustained an injury during an official engagement,” the spokesman, Ian Krager, said in a brief statement that provided no details on the nature of the injury or how it occurred. He said she was admitted to a hospital for evaluation.

Ms. Pelosi tripped going down marble stairs at the Grand Ducal Palace and took a hard fall, according to a person familiar with the incident who was not authorized to comment and spoke on condition of anonymity.

People close to Ms. Pelosi in California and Washington, D.C., speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak for her, said the former speaker fractured her hip when she fell. They said doctors were confident the damage could be repaired with a routine operation, but it was not yet clear whether that would be done in Luxembourg or in the United States.

So now with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) having fallen and experiencing brain freezes, and Pelosi going butt-over-tea-kettle on stairs, we need to ask ourselves, who's next? 

Let's hope it isn't going to be Bernie and let's pray for Pelosi, like her or not. We can attack her words hopefully when she recovers but not while recovering.

Jim Jordan opens inquiry into Jack Smith's "Latest sham indictment"

As summer came to an unofficial end on Labor Day, and the November presidential election looms large, the left is freaking out over their fear that Democrat candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris is a garbage candidate and will somehow blow the election [no pun intended]. 

Last week Special Counsel Jack Smith filed yet a new indictment against former and possibly future President Trump regarding the Nancy Pelosi-botched January 6th clusterfrack [sic]. Several days after the filing, House Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan (R-OH) fired off a letter to the pencil-neck Attorney General Merrick Garland. Jordan was rightfully angry over the "latest sham indictment" and called Smith's move "Election interference." [H/T  Daily Wire]

If not that, then what is it?

As Jordan began by reminding, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered the Trump v. United States decision on July 1. The ruling established that the office of the president is immune from criminal prosecution. The Court's opinion explained the scope of presidential immunity and criticized Special Counsel Jack Smith for violating this Constitutional principle in his political prosecution of President Donald J. Trump, as Jordan noted.

Referring to Smith's updated indictment from August 27, Jordan expressed concerns that "Special Counsel Smith seems to have breached longstanding Department policy designed to safeguard our democratic processes. Consequently, the Committee needs to know whether you endorsed Special Counsel Smith’s indictment beforehand or if he is continuing to act with prosecutorial authority without your 'meaningful direction or supervision,'" his letter stated, once more referencing the Trump v. United States decision.

Jordan's letter specifically mentions a 60-day rule that advises against filing indictments immediately before a primary or general election. "Even though it isn't formally written into law, there is a broad consensus that the 60-day rule is essential for preserving the integrity of the electoral process," Jordan wrote, citing an op-ed from The Washington Post by Barack Obama's wingman, former Attorney General Eric Holder.

"Special Counsel Smith obtained the superseding indictment against President Trump just 10 days before early voting begins in some states," Jordan's letter continued, going on to comment on how this could affect the upcoming presidential election. "There can be little question that the superseding indictment has some effect on the election, especially coming after the Supreme Court’s opinion on presidential immunity cast significant doubt on Special Counsel Smith’s ability to prosecute the initial indictment."

The letter further criticizes the timing in relation to the Trump v. United States decision. Jordan continued. "In light of the Court’s opinion, Smith’s superseding indictment amounts to the initiation of a prosecutorial action by the Biden-Harris Administration against its opponent in the upcoming election. There is no persuasive argument why Special Counsel Smith could not wait until after the election to file this superseding indictment. It is therefore difficult to believe that the superseding indictment was filed now for any purpose other than to affect the outcome of the election," Jordan continued.

Jordan's letter asks for the following information and documents by September 13, going back from January 1, 2024 to the present:

1. All documents and communications between Main Justice, including but not limited to the Office of the Attorney General, and Special Counsel Smith’s office referring or relating to the superseding indictment filed against President Trump on August 27, 2024.

2. Did you personally approve the superseding indictment filed against President Trump on August 27, 2024? If so, please provide documentation sufficient to reflect your approval.

3. Did you evaluate the superseding indictment against President Trump in the context of the Department’s longstanding policy counseling against prosecutorial action so near an election? If so, please provide documentation sufficient to reflect your evaluation of these issues.

Jordan's letter also mentioned Judge Aileen Cannon, who in July tossed out Smith's classified documents case against Trump. Also last week, just the day before filing the superseding indictment, Smith appealed Cannon's move to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. [H/T Townhall.com]

There does not seem to be any doubt that Smith's move is desperate and politically motivated to prevent Donald Trump from seeking reelection. Allowing this to happen and by extension, jailing the former president, is nothing more than a banana republic type of move and the nation cannot allow this to happen.

Biden's team angry with how he was mistreated: talks of revenge loom large

Everyone knows PINO Joseph Biden's bedtime is around 8 p.m. and that his mental status is impaired, especially when he's kept up past his bedtime. But that is exactly what the Democrats did at the DNC on Monday night when his angry, shouted speech began at 11:30 p.m. 

Was this intentional--we can't say for sure.

What we know is that the convention was a circus of dancing abortion pills, free death con 3 abortions on unborn babies, and free vasectomies for men whose wives and girlfriends insist on them being neutered. [But conceiving fewer communists due to vasectomies is a good thing, so go for it, lefties.]

One had to be inspired by the American Federation of Teachers president Randy Weingarten's high-energy speech where she pounded her fists over and over, jumped up and down screaming about about 'the moment we are in,' and 'the road ahead,' and screw the students and their math scores. 

And then there was the gaggle of gals attempting to sing the National Anthem. That went over like a lead Hindenburg blimp.

Outside the Chicago convention pro Hamassholes burned Old Glory, called for the end of Israel and the Jews, and did their usual screaming at cops hoping to create a scene where they were victimized by them.

Eventually, as the night wore on and the midnight hour was approaching, Biden was put on stage to speak and boy oh boy, he sounded like an angry old cuss who was about to shoot those kids on his lawn. He didn't make a speech; he shouted a speech.

His team was angry over how they treated him like used toilet paper. According to Alex Thompson of Axios, a Biden aide reportedly texted him, “This is awful. He literally set up a campaign and handed it over to them—do they have to cut him out of prime time?"

Well yeah, they do. They need to distance themselves from Biden and pretend all that was wrong in the last three and a half years had nothing to do with Kamala Harris. Some on the left even tried to blame Trump for the state of the nation during the Biden-Harris administration.

After Biden finished yelling and blaming Trump for everything Biden did, he was basically given the boot and removed from the scene to go on another vacation. We still don't know for certain who's running the country--some say Pelosi, some say Obama, but nobody says Harris.

It's believed that Obama threatened Biden by warning him that Harris was on board with using the 25th Amendment against him, and Biden knew that this was very possible as there is no love lost between them, in spite of the fact that he endorsed her. [Did he have a choice?]

In his speech, Biden denied the reports about him being angry, but if you think he was fine with the Democrat's decision to get him off the ticket when he hungered to run for a second term, you don't know Biden. He hates to be challenged and this was his biggest challenge of his life. You know he was angry.

Revenge may be in the offing as Biden sails into the sunset of his life.

Peter Hamby of Puck News believes something may be brewing in terms of revenge:

"Make no mistake: Biden, and a handful of advisers in his inner circle, are still licking their wounds after the party putsch to get him out of the race. They would love to live in a world where Biden was still the nominee, even if things are unquestionably better for the party now, with a tidal wave of post-Biden excitement that has Harris surging in the polls."

Hamby added that he was told by two Democratic sources that Anita Dunn, Biden's communication adviser, gave a tough departure speech at her departure event two weeks ago after leaving the administration, She made a reference to The Godfather and alluded to "getting revenge." She and Harris don't play well together so her leaving was for the best.

So while Biden was thrown under the proverbial bus, he failed to make a case for his own presidency, but instead he lividly harped on about Donald Trump.

PINO Biden urges his supporters to "beat the hell out of" Republicans

"Punch 'em, kick 'em, hit 'em in the mouth. Do it for democracy"

PINO Joseph R. Biden urged his progressive supporters on Tuesday to "beat the hell out of" Republicans in the November election. "Don't let them scare you like Cornpop tried to do when I was saving lives at the pool. Stand up to them and if they try to get past you to vote, you know what you need to do to save democracy," he mumbled, and then turned to shake hands with his uncle Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr. who was supposedly eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea during the Second World War.

Biden, who pretended to call for calm after former President Donald J. Trump was nearly assassinated in June, is back to using violent rhetoric at his first public appearance with his word-challenged Vice President, Kamala Harris. This was their first public appearance since Biden was un-democratically removed from office and replaced with Harris, in spite of him receiving all the electoral votes for the nomination.

Both Nancy "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi and Barack "Pooch-eater" Obama had no comment on this issue.

“Let me tell you what our Project 2025 is: beat the hell out of them,” the alleged president told the crowd during an event in Prince George’s County, Maryland. As the audience cheered this idiot, he shouted, “I mean it!” rather than shouting "no joke!" as is his go-to sentence concluder. 

His reference to Project 2025 was his plagiarizing the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025" which is their conservative planning of transition policies when Trump wins the election. The left tries to link Trump to this plan, but he has rejected the association and correctly labeled it a “pure disinformation” campaign.

The call for people to “beat the hell out of” their political rivals did not sit well with some on social media, especially those who think such calls for violence is wrong.

“Is this a call to violence?” asked the Libs of TikTok account on X that is operated by Chaya Raichik. a

Anyway, it's easy to see how the media is moist for the left and will never criticize them even when they call for violence.

Remember this: 

But the media would never allow a conservative or MAGA Republican to get away with the crap they allow the left to skate by with. 

“If Trump said this, it would be wall-to-wall coverage on MSNBC for the next three weeks,” responded Collin Rugg, who has an X account with 1.4 million followers. He also quipped that The Washington Post “would be putting the ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ banner up.”

Trump trounced Biden in the June debate on the Comedy News Network. It was so bad that the people behind the curtain pulling Biden's strings had to find someone else to run against Trump, even though to do so was a severe violation of the democratic process. Biden had every one of the delegates caste their support for him, which translates to the Democratic Party supporting Biden. Obviously that didn't matter to whoever has their hand up Biden's skivvies, whether it was Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, or both.




Trump faced Biden in a June debate hosted by CNN. In the weeks after Biden’s fumbling performance during that face-off sparked a crisis of confidence among his allies, the president stepped aside under pressure and Harris took the top spot on the Democratic Party’s ticket.

Biden is expected to speak at the Democratic National Contention in Chicago next week, along with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State and failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are slated to accept their nominations and deliver remarks.

Iran leader and some US congress people have a cow over Bibi Netanyahu's address

Iran's Ayatollah, a guy who hasn't met a Jew or an American he didn't want to kill, has gotten his Amama all twisted in a knot along with his tarboosh. The dude was "enraged" by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress this week. Along with him in rage was Nancy "Hands-a-Blur" Pelosi, Rashida "Worm Lips" Tlaib, comrade Bernie Sanders, along with the rest of the so-called squad.

The Iranian regime tap danced to "desperately discredit" Bibi's speech with the old "predictable spin" you'd expect from people who have nothing original to say.

With the American-Israeli alliance healthier than many in the regime had expected and hoped would not be, Iranian state media focused on anti-Israel protests in Washington and Hamas’s response to Netanyahu’s speech--not the speech itself. 

The Ayatollah was miffed and rattled so much so that even their state media couldn't hide it any better than CNN hid Joe Biden's dementia.

Kasra Aarabi, Director of IRGC Research, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), said: “The Iranian regime was desperately seeking to discredit Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech in the US and foment chaos around it.”

Well, the only chaos fomented began with Pelosi and many on the far left. There was Tlaib who brought a ping pong paddle to the hallowed chamber with signs on it that she apparently believed would accuse Israel of war crimes. One such sign said "War Criminal" and it looked as if Tlaib was labeling herself as such, rather than accusing Israel.

Meanwhile, Aarabi warned that protesters burning US flags in Washington "will have brought a smile to Ayatollah Khamenei’s face. Make no mistake, the Iranian regime and its networks abroad will try and further fuel chaos with the goal of polarizing US society ahead of the presidential elections. In many ways, this regime influence operation is already in full swing.”

Islamic State officials tried to dismiss Netanyahu’s speech. Massoumeh Ebtekar, Iran’s Vice President for Environmental Affairs, told AFP that she didn’t think Netanyahu’s opinion “carries much weight,” but she had to say that to keep her head on her shoulders.

Iran’s foreign spokesman, Nasser Kanani, condemned US officials, writing on X: "the American government and Congress are welcoming this executioner with applause... The criminal prime minister of a fake regime is embraced by his supporters after nine months of genocide and infanticide.”

Yeah, Israel gets attacked on Oct. 7, when 1,200 Israelis are killed outright or raped first, 253 are taken hostage, dead and alive, babies are burned alive, parents are made to watch their children die, children are made to watch their parents die, and Israel refuses to obediently march in line into the "showers." 

Screw the anti-Semites who condemn Israel for fighting back and winning. And screw those in government who call for a ceasefire by Israel, but not a surrender by Hamas and their jihadi co-terrorists.

Despite Iranian officials dismissing Netanyahu’s US trip, the story was the biggest item across Iranian news channels on Wednesday because they're worried that they can't get away with genocide of the Jews and saying that Israel are the ones committing genocide is being seen for the lie that it is.

Netanyahu called for an alliance against an Iranian "axis of terror," correctly saying that Tehran is behind almost all sectarian violence in the Middle East. Of course they are--they the number one sponsors of terrorism throughout the Middle East and would like to see the United States destroyed "from within" like even the CAIR's charter (Council on American-Islamic Relations) states.

"America and Israel today can forge a security alliance in the Middle East to counter the growing Iranian threat," Netanyahu told Congress.

And we must. Israel is our best ally in the Middle East.

Biden supposedly humiliated by his debate debacle according to reports

Our alleged President Biden was reportedly humiliated by his debate performance on Thursday, meaning that he possibly still has enough brain activity to have a modicum of self-awareness. Of course, it could also be that the media is setting the stage for him to bow out of the election before November.

The report says that Biden was "devoid of confidence" by someone allegedly familiar with Biden's mood, telling NBC News, "[I]t's a mess."

The outlet reported that several prominent Democrats expressed concern in private over Biden's chances of beating Donald Trump in November following his debate performance. However, they remain steadfast in their support for Biden in public due to their confidence in lying to the public and having them believe those lies and not caring enough for the country to stop our cognitively impaired POTUS to run.

"The only person who has ultimate influence with him is the first lady," another person told NBC News. "If she decides there should be a change of course, there will be a change of course."

Biden and his family are reportedly set to informally discuss the future of his campaign at Camp David on Sunday, which can only mean that he will bow out and let a functioning individual take his place. Perhaps Doctor Jill has been ridiculed enough to know that she better let Joe get his much needed rest and an ice cream cone [he likes chocolate chip].

"Any discussion about the campaign is expected to be informal or an afterthought," the person close to the Biden family told NBC. "No one is sitting down for a formal or determinative discussion."

Biden addressed his debate debacle at a North Carolina rally on Friday.

"I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know — I know how to tell the truth!" Biden told a crowd of supporters who held back their laughter. 

Biden simply cannot tell the truth about most anything. He claimed at the Thursday debate that no American military person died on his watch. I know of at least 13 who did, and I know of others who gave their life for their country, but old Joe couldn't or wouldn't recognize them.

"I can do this job, because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high," Biden mush-mouthed during his speech. "Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation."

Trump already has a 4-year track record as President and Democracy was just fine. In fact, the Biden administration has been the most corrosive to democracy: having Trump arrested on trumped-up charges to eliminate him from the presidential race; allowing illegal aliens into the country; the lack of reasonable law enforcement; taking taxpayer money and trying to forgive student loans, are just a few examples of where Biden peed on democracy.

He also told the crowd that he wouldn't be running for re-election if he didn't think he could do the job, which may be true in his addled brain. He not only cannot do the job, he can't even find his way off stage and sees people we don't see.

The next debate, hosted by ABC News, is scheduled for Sept. 10, but my bet is that it will not happen, but if it does, it will not include Biden.

Remember all the lies you heard from Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, IL Gov. J.B. Pritzker. MN Gov. Tim Walz, his campaign co-chair, Mitch Landrieu, NY Rep. Dan Goldman, and others, about how sharp Biden's is, especially in private where it matters less than it does to the American people.

We need to be concerned now as to how our enemies see us. If they believe Trump will be our next President, and I hope he will be, they will want to make a move against us before he's sworn in.

Pelosi attacks US Judiciary branch of government: "They have gone rogue"

Lip locked anger

As we all know, there are three branches of government: the executive branch, currently held by a man suffering from dementia; the congressional branch, composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate; and the judiciary, which is the Supreme Court comprised of nine justices.

During Donald Trump's first presidency, and hopefully not his last, he appointed three SCOTUS Justices: Neil Gorsuch, 2017; Brett Kavanaugh, 2018; and Amy Coney Barrett, 2020.

As with most justices, their judicial philosophies and decisions often reflect conservative viewpoints, particularly in areas such as individual liberties, regulatory powers, and social issues. Both Coney Barrett and Gorsuch are considered originalists, while Kavanaugh is aligned in that direction but he is also pragmatic in his approach.

The term "originalism" is the judicial philosophy that interprets the U.S. Constitution as it was originally intended to mean or be understood when it was enacted. Thus, the words of the Constitution should be assigned the same meaning as it did when adopted and its interpretation should be grounded in the text itself and the historical context and intent of the framers. Therefore, it limits the role of the Supreme Court and calls for the need for change to come from the legislation or amendments rather than the Court changing the law via judicial interpretation.

Naturally, the judicial philosophy of the Supreme Court with its conservative majority tends to piss off the left, who, when in power, would like to make the rules of the game to their advantage.

Former Speaker of the House, Nancy "Hands-a-Blur" Pelosi (D-CA) had a covert conniption we must assume, when Trump made those appointments to SCOTUS. The ample dentured octogenarian said in an interview on the Communist Network News (CNN) with Anderson Cooper, that the Supreme Court has "gone rogue" when asked about their legitimacy.

Pelosi [aka "Dancing Dentures"] made the remarks Monday night about the judiciary branch of American government because she doesn't agree with their rulings, and anyone who disagrees with her has no right to do so.

“No, I think they have gone rogue. It’s most unfortunate,” she claimed, when asked about their legitimacy. “But it’s unfortunate further to see what the other justices … what happened to the chief justice? Did he go weak or did he go rogue? I don’t know. And that’s the same thing with these members of Congress, if I can take it back to that, because, as tragic as that night was — and they were coming after me to put a bullet in my head. They were going to hang the — have a gallows for the vice president of the United States.”

“So, no, I don’t have confidence in the Supreme Court,” the congresswoman of the failed state of California later added. “I think that some of the decisions they have — see, I respect their point of view. If they have a point of view about a woman’s right to choose, okay, but that’s not what they’re there to do, to advocate for a point of view. Run for Congress.”

She claimed that the justices voted “their opinion on policy” rather than follow “the oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States.”

“I want us to get back to a place where the three branches of government, as our Founders initiated, are respected across the board,” she claimed. “But I don’t have a lot of confidence in this court, unfortunately. I say that with a heavy heart."

The fact that Trump undid Roe v. Wade and gave the power back to the states, thus taking it away from the Supreme Court, shows exactly the opposite claim made by Pelosi. This is why we are a republic as opposed to a pure democracy. But people like Pelosi [aka "The Ice Cream Lady"] want the power of the majority to rule over the minority, even when the difference in number is nearly the same.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." This is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but he probably didn't say it.

Pelosi may not like the existence of protections in the U.S. Constitution and our checks and balances in government, which protects us from the tyranny of the majority, but these safeguards are what makes the country the best we have on earth. We aren't perfect, but we are far beyond what's out there.

McConnell moonwalks backwards from border bill

Suddenly, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is urging Senate Republicans to vote against a border bill that was unveiled in the Democrat-controlled chamber on Monday, now that the bill has been read and exposed for the piece of Democrat crap that it is.

The garbage heap $118,000,000,000 package is not about border security--it's about Democrat's election security in 2024. It's designed to get our demented President re-elected. 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the bill "legalizes illegal immigration." Many other GOP senators have already voiced strong opposition to the steaming dung heap and now McConnell, realizing his political career hangs in the balance, is urging remaining GOPers to block the bill.

“McConnell recommended to GOP senators behind closed doors that they BLOCK the border bill on Wednesday, per multiple sources, bc it’s clear that most Republicans are preparing to vote no — either because they oppose the bill or want more time,” reporter Andrew Desiderio wrote on X.

“McConnell explicitly recommended a NO vote on cloture on the motion to proceed, according to several attendees,” he continued. “McConnell said the problem isn’t what Lankford negotiated, it’s that the political mood in the country has changed.”

Political mood has changed? The nation overwhelmingly never felt that illegal immigration was okay. It was only the far-left that held this belief. 

Top House Republicans signaled shortly after the bill was unveiled that it would be dead on arrival if it made it to the lower chamber. Lankford lied to us.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) killed the bill in a joint statement.

“House Republicans oppose the Senate immigration bill because it fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration,” the statement said. “Among its many flaws, the bill expands work authorizations for illegal aliens while failing to include critical asylum reforms. Even worse, its language allowing illegals to be ‘released from physical custody’ would effectively endorse the Biden ‘catch and release’ policy.”

“The so-called ‘shutdown’ authority in the bill is anything but, riddled with loopholes that grant far too much discretionary authority to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas – who has proven he will exploit every measure possible, in defiance of the law, to keep the border open,” the statement continued. “The bill also fails to adequately stop the President’s abuse of parole authority and provides for taxpayer funds to fly and house illegal immigrants in hotels through the FEMA Shelter and Services Program.”

“America’s sovereignty is at stake,” the statement concluded. “Any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time. It is DEAD on arrival in the House. We encourage the U.S. Senate to reject it.”

As usual, the Democrats were hoping the Republicans wouldn't actually read the bill and just sign it first, like Nancy "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi once suggested.

Nancy "Dancing Dentures" Pelosi blasts Trump for 'cognitive' issue, then mixes up Biden with Trump

You can't make this stuff up. First our barely sentient President Biden attacked former President Trump for seeming to mix up Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi. Now we have Pelosi challenging Trump's cognitive abilities and got him confused with Joe Biden. 

The former House Speaker said she wouldn't get involved with discussing Trump's "cognitive disorders" on Tuesday before briefly confusing President Biden with 'The Donald.'

MSNBC's comrade Rachel Maddow asked Pelosi about Trump's attempt to attack the former speaker over the response to Jan. 6, but appeared to confuse Pelosi with GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley. "We’ve heard what Nikki Haley thought about that, that confusion, that mistake by Donald Trump. But I don’t know what you thought about it, and I’m curious," comrade Maddow said.

Pelosi said she wouldn't spend too much time on Trump's "cognitive disorders" before having a brief slip-up herself.

"Well, let me just say, I’m not going to spend too much time on Donald Trump’s cognitive disorders," she said. "He tried to say that Nikki Haley did not allow the National Guard to come, but it was Nancy Pelosi. It was nobody. It was Joe – it was Donald Trump. He knows, and you know, that Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and I begged for hours for the National Guard to come."

The slip-up of "Joe's" name is likely an unconscious trigger based upon Biden's obvious cognitive decline. It's therefore easy to confuse him with someone who she was trying to blame for the slip-up. 

"He knows that we don’t have the authority to bring the national guard, the president does. Sad to say to the District of Columbia, because every other state, the governor has that power. So, I’m more concerned about what he was trying to accuse her of, and again, his many misrepresentations. But don’t spend so much time on him. We don’t agonize about him," Pelosi said, her hands nearly a blur as her dentures did the Electric Slide.

So we have the pot calling the kettle cognitively impaired. Nancy Pelosi is not a rocket surgeon, that's for sure.
