The hypocrisy of this woman to sneer at whatever Trump may or may not do to benefit “his rich friends.” During the recession in 2009, when the rest of us were getting poorer, HER NET WORTH DOUBLED.
As for Trump not having some kind of jobs bill … this is typical Dem thinking that you have to LEGISLATE to get jobs. No, you have to GET OUT OF THE WAY and let entrepreneurs create jobs. Trump has done a lot already to free up the private sector to create jobs, something Pelosi either can’t understand or refuses to admit.
And the jobs numbers show that it’s already working.
During Obama’s first month in office, the Employment Population Ratio was 60.6%. Despite the so-called “action” Pelosi says was taken by Obama “in his first four weeks”, this number DROPPED into the 58s and stayed stuck there until June 2014.
During all 8 years that Obama was in office, it only got as high as 59.9% twice, once in March of 2016 and again in January of 2017, the same month that Trump took over.
Below is a historical look at Employment Population Ratios correlated with political party control in D.C. I think it’s fairly obvious that Republicans are much better at promoting JOBS than Democrats are.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) wants to impeach Donald Trump as soon as possible.
So sorry, Maxine. You can’t impeach a president just because you don’t like him.
“I think that he is leading himself into that kind of position where folks will begin to ask, ‘What are we going to do?'” Waters said. “And the answer is going to be: eventually we’ve got to do something about him.”
Like re-elect him to four more years maybe?
“He [President Trump] supplied the bombs that killed innocent children and families in Aleppo.”
Aleppo was bombed by Russia last fall, long before Trump was inaugurated. If any American president “supplied” those bombs, it was Obama.
“And the fact that he [President Trump] is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.”
I’ve seen no evidence that Trump and Putin are getting cozy. Plus, you know, Putin didn’t invade “Korea.” It wasCrimea.
There are those who say that the Democrat Party’s leadership is “out of touch.” Noooooooo, really?
Feb 6, 2017: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said,“While it’s only been a couple of weeks since the inauguration,we’ve seen nothing that we can work, that I can work with President Bush on.”

Apologies to Pistol Pete! I moved these two items from his “Beclowning” post for two reasons. One, they are just SO EXCELLENT, they need to be highlighted. Two, the post was loading slowly.
A veterinarian who lives on the southern border recounts his personal experiences with drug and human traffickers. His testimony is compelling and heart-breaking.
He asked Pelosi one question, which was, “Will you cooperate with President Trump to build a wall, hire more border patrol, and end sanctuary cities?”
Pelosi’s rambling response adds up to, “Hell, no.” Her reasons are nonsense and, frankly, insulting to the gentleman’s real life problems.
Hypocrites Schumer and Pelosi holding up teensy little electric tealights while ranting about “this great light” and the Statue of Liberty while saying THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what they said when Obama was president … BWAHAHAHA!
“For the last couple of weeks, everyone has been going insane. I have never seen this level of hysteria, hyperbolic rhetoric, and fearmongering, not even when the Left collectively decided that George W. Bush was worse than Hitler.
“It appears that the progressive movement has decided that a former New York liberal is the embodiment of pure evil and represents everything that must be opposed, however incoherently.Some of the critiques are warranted, but all of them, so far, have been hypocritical—especially considering that the other option for president of the United States was Hillary Rodham Clinton. …
“With Trump’s arrival, they have found that their exaggerated sense of self-righteousness does not entitle them to anything in a democracy. They gave up making arguments quite some time ago, and instead spent their timelecturing the rest of us sanctimoniously. People got tired of it, and took their power away. …
“I was no Trump fan, but now that Trump is president, I take the same approach as Ben Shapiro and the National Review: Support the president when we can support him, and criticize him when we can’t. In other words, treat him like a flawed politician. The Left, however, istreating him like an invading demon that they must exorcise, and have completely lost their ability to see things objectively.”
Read the rest of this excellent summary of the Left’s insanity here.
CtH: Marren says, “The brazen hypocrisy of the Left combined with their swooning hysteria have revealed that they have lost their ability to see those they disagree with in political terms.”
I would suggest thatthey have lost their ability to see us in HUMAN terms.How else could Nancy Pelosi go so far as to cast her party as righteous saviors against all of us traditional, patriotic Americans, Republicans, people of faith, and pro-lifers?
She actually said that we “pray in church on Sunday and then prey on people the rest of the week.” Yet she is the one screaming loudly for taxpayer funding of abortion on demand and without restrictions.
We’re not the ones who said that investigating Planned Parenthood for trafficking in fetal remains was “un-American.” Or who claimed that homosexual “marriage” was consistent with Catholic teaching, which is is totally not.
As for her statement on late-term abortion — “As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this.” — dear God in Heaven, do not get me started.
We’re not the predators or the hypocrites, Ms. Pelosi.I’d like to hope and pray you wake up and repent before it’s too late, because Hell awaits. Sadly, I suspect you’ve been stewing in your sinful lies for so long that you’re past the point where you are capable of repentance.
There is much to put together on the news of the day: Trump nominating Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme court. I have not yet completed the task of putting things in order. However, in an effort to entertain early risers I’m posting some YouTube videos pertinent to current events.
Morning Joe Panel Blasts Democrats for Not Coming to Terms With Being in the Minority
[CtH: I must say again to the older gentleman who declared that nobody under 35 shares Trump’s values … WHEN WILL DEMOCRATS LISTEN?! I have six kids under 35. They like Trump.]
Law Professor: Trump’s Immigration Ban Constitutional, Admin ‘Absolutely’ Had Right to Fire AG
[CtH: Turley – “It’s very inconsistent.” Professor, you make the mistake of thinking Obamacrats care about law, policy, or values. They don’t. They care about personalities, feelings, and destroying America. In that sense, the woman’s actions were totally consistent with what the Justice Dept did during Obama’s tenure. Dearest thinks she’s been promised a pay off for pulling this stunt. I’m inclined to agree. Look for her to run for office with big Democrat money support.https://polination.wordpress.com/2017/01/31/its-not-about-law-policy-or-values/%5D
Hatch Blasts Democrats for Boycotting Votes on Trump Nominees
Sen. Wyden Was Against Partisan Obstructionism Before He Supported It
Sen. Hatch: ‘This is the most pathetic thing I’ve seen in my whole time in the United States Senate’
I REMEMBER WHEN THE DEMOCRATS IN WISCONSIN PULLED THE SAME STUNT SO AS TO AVOID HAVING A VOTE ON NEUTERING THE TEACHERS’ UNION IN WISCONSIN. A BUNCH OF THEM STAYED IN A MOTOR INN DOWN HERE IN TOWN. EVENTUALLY THEY HAD TO RETURN AND THE REPUBLICAN-LED LEGISLATURE TOOK AWAY MANDATORY DUES DEDUCTIONS. GIVEN A CHOICE, MOST OPTED TO KEEP THE MONEY IN THEIR OWN POCKETS RATHER THAN GIVE IT TO THE BOSSES TO BE PASSED ON TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
Dem Senator Compares Trump’s Immigration Order to Japanese Internment Camps
[CtH: Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) lies AGAIN about how the executive order targets Muslims. It DOESN’T. And for crying out loud, if banning immigration from SOME COUNTRIES is comparable to rounding up Japanese-American citizens into internment camps, then where the heck was the outrage when Presidents Carter and Obama DID THE SAME THING? They’ve lost their minds. Or maybe they never had any.]
Hatch Praises Judge Gorsuch’s Nomination to Supreme Court
Pelosi: It’s a very hostile appointment… Lovely family, I’m sure. But as far as your family is concerned, uh, uh, if you breathe air, drink water, eat food, take medicine or in any other way interact with the courts this is a very bad decision.
[Pelosi says Gorsuch is “well outside the mainstream of American legal thought.” By this, she means he doesn’t legislate for Progressive social change from the bench.]
VIOLENT BARBIE JEEP RACING!!
PETE DARES TO BE DIFFERENT.
Once again, with her cat-like reflexes, our own CtH has scooped the blogosphere with her post about the Vice President addressing today’s march for life.
[CtH: Yes, well … while Pete was battling the elements delivering newspapers, I was parked in my nice warm office, sipping tea. :)]
I am tasked, therefore, to extrapolate (where the hell did I get THAT word?) on what she initiated. One thing is sure … they won’t leave the tons of trash the Pussy Patrol did last week, and you’ll hear no venomous speech.
One thing that rankles me is that these “enlightened” females whine about it’s their body and their choice. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Once the child has a heartbeat, it’s no longer ‘her body’… it’s the baby’s. They conveniently ignore that.
Strongest White House support yet for March for Life
When throngs of abortion protesters convene Friday for the annual March for Life, they will enjoy the warmest show of White House support in the event’s four-decade history.
Vice President Mike Pence and top Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway will headline the pre-march rally on the National Mall, becoming the highest-ranking members of a presidential administration ever to speak at the annual protest.
Trump to ‘call in’ to the March for Life President Trump will “call-in” remarks to the annual March for Life event in Washington, D.C., on Friday, according to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller.
[CtH: He’d probably come if it wouldn’t be such a security nightmare for the Secret Service.]
Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush are the only other chief executives to have addressed the anti-abortion march. They also did it remotely.
ABC aired an interview of the president last night with David Muir. They left this out:
“I’m for life,” Goldberg said. The she turned to the audience and asked, “Is anyone here not for life? Maybe we should stop talking about being pro-life or anti-life because nobody is not for life. We are pro-choice. That’s the difference.”
Of Republicans, the Democrat congresswoman from California declared, “They pray in church on Sunday and they prey on people the rest of the week. And while we’re doing the Lord’s work, ministering to the needs of God’s creation, they are ignoring those needs which is to dishonor the God who made them.”
[CtH: Is she stupid, uninformed, or just a vicious, hateful liar?]
[bluebird of bitterness: Yes.]
I POSTED A LINK IN THE REPLY SEGMENT CALLED: #MY UNINTENDED JOY. WISH I’D SEEN IT EARLIER. IT’S A BEAUTIFUL ARTICLE ABOUT MOTHERS WHO CHOSE LIFE. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ IT. GOD BLESS.
“They pray in church on Sunday,”Pelosi says about Republicans, “and prey on everyone the rest of the week.”
Really, Nancy? And you think that, after calling me and the other umpty million religious Republicans in this country PREDATORS, we’re supposed to LISTEN to what you think we should do to be “real” Christians?
This is why you lost, Madame Not-The-Speaker. “Republican” is not synonymous with evil. The fact that you think it is says more to me about your heart than it does about mine.
Report: Trump orders Obama-appointed ambassadors to leave posts by inauguration DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT
President-elect Trump’s transition team has reportedly ordered all ambassadors appointed by President Obama to leave their posts by the time the billionaire is sworn in — no exceptions.
That plan could leave the United States without Senate-confirmed diplomats in critical countries for months.
But several American diplomats familiar with the order told the New York Times that Trump’s team will not allow any extensions.

Wellness center associated with church Rush founded also received more than $2 million in government grants last year
MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT FROM ILLINOIS ARE NOT AWARE THAT OBAMA RAN FOR U.S. REP IN 1992. HE WAS BEATEN BADLY BY RUSH, A FORMER BLACK PANTHER. GUESS BARRY WASN’T BLACK ENOUGH THEN. JUST ANOTHER CORRUPT BLACK DEMOCRAT.
[CtH: I did not know Obama had ever lost an election.]
Rep. Bobby Rush (D., Ill.) made payments to four family members that combined to more than $100,000 during the 2016 election cycle, campaign finance records show.
A wellness center associated with the church the congressman founded also received more than $2 million in government grants last year.
Oops, Yahoo Says Trump Wants What Kind Of A Navy? Yahoo subsequently apologized for the ‘spelling error’.
When President Obama took office in January 2009, 80,529,000 Americans were not in the labor force, the highest number on record. That number rose steadily during his two terms, reaching a record 95,055,000 in November 2016, then setting another record (95,102,000) in December.
In an interview with a Chicago reporter yesterday, Obama said he has done “an enormous amount” to create greater economic opportunity for Americans.
“I took an economy that was about to go into a Great Depression, and we’ve now had a little over six years of straight economic job growth, an unemployment rate that’s down below 5 percent, and incomes that have gone up and poverty that has gone down.”
But people who stop looking for a job are no longer counted as unemployed.
New Sheriff Who Defeated Arpaio (With Help of Soros) Calls Illegal Aliens “Guests” Newly sworn-in Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Paul Penzone, in a January 4 interview with Phoenix TV station ABC 15, referred to illegal aliens as “guests.”
Penzone defeated Arpaio by 665,478 votes (55.6 percent) to Arpaio’s 531,674 votes (44.4 percent).
Leftist billionaire George Soros spent $2 million of his own money to get Arpaio out of office.

FROM THE PENTHOUSE TO THE OUTHOUSE…WHAT A JOKE
Send in the Head Clowns The delusional Democrats of 2017
Republicans control the House, the Senate, 34 governor’s mansions, and 4,100 seats in state legislatures. But Democrats act like they run Washington. Nancy Pelosi’s speech to the 115th House of Representatives was a long-winded recitation of the same liberal agenda that has brought her party to its current low. Give her points for consistency I guess. Chuck Schumer is just being delusional.
Linking the higher power, Milbank fawned, “Watching the final days of the Obama administration, one suspects the Hawaiian-born president could empathize with Maui.”
If that kind of slobbering praise wasn’t enough, the journalist strained to connect the President to George Washington: “Announcing he was following in George Washington’s footsteps, he scheduled a farewell address next week.”
