Pelosi to Exit Congress with One of the Largest Pensions on Record

Members of Congress become eligible for a pension after at least five years of service, and the benefit calculation  depends on when they were first elected. Lawmakers first elected in 1984 or later are covered under FERS, and those who entered Congress before 2013 qualify for a higher accrual rate than members elected afterward.

Pelosi began her service in the House of Representatives in June 1987 after winning a special election to fill a vacancy. By the end of the 119th Congress on January 3, 2027, she will have served more than 39 years. Her pension is calculated based on her three highest-earning years of salary, which includes her time as Speaker of the House at $223,500 per year, compared to $174,000 for rank-and-file members. The estimated pension figure—which excludes any spousal set-aside that reduces the member pension so the surviving spouse can collect partial payments—reflects one of the most substantial benefits available to any current or former member of Congress in FERS.

Pelosi’s Likely Successor Dwarfs Her Radicalism

With the Wicked Witch of the West Coast — a.k.a. Nancy Pelosi — finally retiring from Congress, the race is on for her broom ride to Washington, DC. Unfortunately, if you can believe it, those seeking to fill this congressional power vacuum are even more ideologically and morally duplicitous.

One such front-runner candidate for Pelosi’s seat is California State Senator Scott Wiener.

Wiener, a San Francisco politician, has generated immense human suffering in the Golden State. He’s responsible for SB 132, the 2020 law that allows males misidentifying as females to be housed in women’s prisons. This heinous legislation has turned into a form of cruel and unusual punishment for incarcerated females, many of whom have been raped, harassed, and intimidated by mentally ill males.

Wiener would rather see these women experience brutalization than admit that his stance is terribly wrong. In fact, whenever he’s confronted with the issue, he shuts down, doesn’t actually address the problem, and in some cases calls those who protest it “disgusting.”

Wiener is also behind SB 357, a law that decriminalized loitering with the intent to solicit prostitution. Guess what that hellish decision led to? The sexual slavery of young women and men — some of whom are minors — who are being flaunted with impunity down the streets of Los Angeles. This is not justice. It’s a tragedy.

SB 357 is even unpopular with some Democrat lawmakers because when legislators tried to introduce a bill to protect these vulnerable children by prosecuting their customers, Wiener and his ilk changed the legislation beyond all recognition.

Wiener was behind SB 107, which made California a sanctuary kidnapping state for gender-confused kids to run to if their families disagree with their adoption of gender pathology. As California Policy Center President Will Swaim put it, “Team Wiener says the law, which Newsom signed in 2022, protects vulnerable kids from bad parents and regressive red-state policies. You might say it violates parental rights, encourages runaways, and makes those kids vulnerable to abuse, including sex trafficking.”

These are but a taste of Wiener’s legislative bugaboos. If any bill has anything to do with the promotion of promiscuous sex and/or annihilating the freedoms of parents and the safety of children from predatory behavior, his name is generally associated with it. Even recently, after black lesbian rap artist Tish Hyman got kicked out of her gym for confronting a gender-confused man for being in a women-only space, guess who Wiener defended? Hint: It wasn’t the black lesbian; it was the wife-beating, gender-confused sociopath.

Forget Pelosi, Here’s Why You Should Fear Her Likely Successor

It was a good day this week when Nancy Pelosi announced her intention to retire at the end of this term. There has been speculation for years that she would retire soon, and it is finally happening. The problem? Her replacement may actually be much, much worse than her.

The man who has been looking to replace her in Congress in State Sen. Scott Weiner. His record is so radical that we’ve actually discussed him many times here at PJ Media. He checks all the boxes for the radical left: fanatically obsessed with climate change lawsuits, a champion for “trans refuge” policies that upend families and public safety, and always eager to line up with the most extreme social experiment the Sacramento swamp can devise.

Pelosi’s announcement that she won’t seek reelection has all but cleared the path for Wiener, whose campaign website is already up and running, and features a pride flag as part of his branding.

Earlier this year, Wiener authored legislation giving wildfire victims a blank check to sue oil companies for “climate change-related damages.” Instead of holding the real culprits accountable for California’s wildfire crisis — years of mismanagement, neglected forests, and feckless bureaucracy — Wiener wants to let trial lawyers loot Big Oil in the name of justice. The bill does a neat job of distracting from government failure, while inviting a legal circus that rewards people for blaming anyone but the inept officials actually responsible.

Wiener’s zeal for legislating the culture war is unmatched. In 2023, he pushed AB 957, rewriting California’s Family Code so that if a parent doesn’t “affirm” his or her child’s “gender identity,” a judge could deny the parent custody of their child during divorce proceedings.

This isn’t Wiener’s only foray into pushing the sexual boundaries that the left favors. He’s the architect of SB 145, dubbed the “pro-pedophile” bill, which essentially decriminalizes sex with certain minors under the guise of “equity” for the LGBTQ community.

The Pipe Bomber’s Actions Were Necessary to Enable Speaker Pelosi to Certify the 2020 Election for Joe Biden

It turns out that the pipe bomber on Jan 6 was not a man, as had been assumed for more than four years.  Reports over the past 48 hours claim that the pipe bomber was a Capitol policewoman by the name of Shauni Rae Kerkhoff.  This comes after more than four years of not knowing who the pipe bomber was.

It appears that the FBI and Capitol Police were not interested in identifying the person who planted pipe bombs on the evening of January 5th near the RNC and DNC buildings in DC. Is this because the pipe bomber was one of them, and if it were found out that the Capitol Police were involved with the pipe bombs found on Jan 6, Americans would be outraged with the news?

Perhaps an even bigger reason to cover up the identity of the pipe bomber is that the planting of pipe bombs at the Capitol on the eve of Jan 6 was necessary to ensure the certification of the 2020 election for Joe Biden.

Nancy Pelosi’s Stock Market Return Rate During Her Time in Congress is INSANE

Nancy Pelosi is finally retiring from congress and she is doing so as an extremely wealthy woman.

During her 40 years in congress, her stock market return rate was 16,930 percent. Read that again. 16,930%

That is beyond stunning. People can spend their entire career working on Wall Street and not get that kind of return. It’s just the sort of thing that has spurred rumors of insider trading, and/or taking advantage of information gleaned by working in congress.

Pelosi is now worth over $280 million dollars. Not a bad haul for a public servant.

FOX News reports:

Pelosi earned more than $130 million in stock profits, return of 16,930%, during time in Congress: report

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and husband Paul Pelosi have raked in more than $130 million in stock profits over the course of her congressional career, a report said.

That’s a return of 16,930% over nearly four decades representing California, according to the New York Post.

The figure comes as Pelosi, 85, announced this week she will not be seeking re-election after completing her current term in 2027…

Before entering office in 1987, Pelosi and her husband reported between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks in their portfolio, the Post said, citing a financial disclosure form.

Those stocks reportedly included Citibank and companies that are no longer publicly traded.

Over time, that portfolio has soared in value to $133.7 million today, the Post reported, citing estimates from Quiver Quantitative.

The newspaper said the profit of 16,930% exceeds the 2,300% that the Dow Jones had during the same time period.

Pelosi’s talents for investing are really unmatched, aren’t they?

Conservatives erupt on social media over ‘absurd’ Pelosi comment calling Trump ‘worst thing’ on earth

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sparked a flurry of controversy on social media Monday after referring to President Donald Trump as a “vile” creature in an interview, prompting conservatives to accuse her of continuing to promote rhetoric that has led to political violence in recent years. 

“He’s just a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the earth,” Pelosi told CNN’s Elex Michaelson about Trump in an interview that quickly went viral on social media.

“You think he’s the worst thing on the face of the Earth?” Michaelson followed up.

“I do, yeah, I do,” Pelosi said.

When Michaelson asked why that was, Pelosi said, “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.”

The clip sparked controversy on social media from conservatives taking issue with Pelosi’s rhetoric.

“More dehumanizing Democrat language about Republicans,” NRCC National War Room director Ben Petersen posted on X. 

“FFS… this is so absurd,” political commentator Piers Morgan 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.”

Pelosi FLIPS OUT When President Trump Appears on Screen During Discussion on Schumer Shutdown

Trump broke Pelosi.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi flipped out as soon as President Trump appeared on the screen during her interview with Spectrum News on Friday.

Pelosi joined Spectrum News’ The Rush Hour with host Giselle Fernandez to discuss the ongoing government shutdown.

Friday was day 31 of the Schumer shutdown.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are holding Americans hostage and refusing to reopen the government because their priority is to give healthcare benefits to illegal aliens.

Pelosi called President Trump a “very, very dangerous man,” as she absurdly claimed he’s the worst president children in America have had in “our own history.”

As Pelosi yammered on, B-roll of Trump walking on the South Lawn of the White House appeared on the screen.

This angered Pelosi.

“He is the worst president for children! There he is walking! The worst! Hi!” Pelosi said waving to the screen.

She continued, “The worst president for anybody, any president in our history.”

Pelosi accused President Trump of taking food out of the mouths of babies after the Democrats voted 13 times to block government funding for SNAP benefits.

Nancy Pelosi Sparks Fury After She Debuts a Faux Southern Accent to Mock Christians for Their Faith

Nancy Pelosi may no longer possess the power or mental sharpness she once had, but her bitterness toward conservatives and faithful followers of Christ remains strong.

The former Speaker of the House attended a discussion hosted by the Harvard Kennedy School earlier this week. While being interviewed by journalist Alison King, she discussed her career in politics, her perspective on the political environment, her views on the Democratic Party’s current status, and more.

However, an otherwise uninteresting event turned nasty when Pelosi decided to get overly cruel. She decided to pull a Hillary Clinton and fake a southern accent while mocking faithful Christians for supposed hypocrisy.

How wicked.

PELOSI (faking Southern accent): You’re people of faith!? You go to church on Sunday and pray in church on Sunday and prey on people the rest of the week!?

What is this? (laughing)

One could say Pelosi, who is Catholic, is a terrible representative of Catholicism, considering she has long supported abortion with no limits whatsoever.

Not only that, she wants taxpayers to fund this demonic practice.

Social media users responded to Pelosi’s remarks with anger.

‘What the F*** Did You Just Do?’ New Book Recounts Obama’s Stunned Call to Pelosi After She Endorsed Harris

Democrats’ policy positions on everything from abortion to transgender ideology spring from pure evil.

It would make sense, therefore, if God had supernaturally rendered their leaders ineffective, incoherent, and ridiculous.

That prospect, of course, offers one explanation for a 2024 incident involving former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as detailed in the new book “Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America,” by Jonathan Karl of ABC News.

The U.K.’s Daily Mail obtained an advance copy of the book, scheduled for publication Tuesday.

According to a “Pelosi confidant” who spoke with Karl, an outraged Obama called the former House Speaker shortly after her endorsement of then-Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee. Under pressure following a catastrophic debate performance on June 27, then-President Joe Biden had withdrawn from the race.

“The Obamas were not happy,” the Pelosi confidant said, adding that Obama’s message to the former Speaker amounted to, essentially, “‘What the f*** did you just do?’”

Rather than hand the nomination to Harris, Obama preferred a “process” to select the Democrat nominee.

“That train has left the station,” Pelosi replied.

The former Speaker’s endorsement of Harris stunned Obama because, per Karl and according to the Mail, Pelosi had maintained “regular communication” with the 44th president. Moreover, the two powerful Democrats “agreed Harris should not simply be handed the nomination unchallenged.”

One raises one’s eyebrows. How did Pelosi and Obama fail so miserably in their “communication”?

Indeed, for more than a year the entire Democratic leadership has appeared incapable of getting on the same page.

Biden, for instance, reportedly harbored resentment over what he regarded as Obama’s treachery.

Meanwhile, in a book published last month, Harris burned bridges by blaming other Democrats for her loss to Trump.

Even former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got in on the act. In her new book, Jean-Pierre explained, among other things, why she left the Democratic Party altogether.

Nancy Pelosi Tears Up a ‘Crown’ to Celebrate “No Kings” Day and Not Even Turning Off the Replies Can Save Her from a Brutal Roasting

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not exactly known for being in touch with reality, but her celebration of Saturday’s “No Kings” protests across the country was one of the most tone-deaf gestures imaginable.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, Democrats and Communists, or Communist Democrats, held a “No Kings” rally in cities around the country.

The protests, organized by the progressive group Indivisible, took place in over 2,000 </> locations across the U.S. and even internationally, including cities like Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Kansas City, and Bozeman, as well as spots in Canada and Mexico.

“We’re gonna tear up the crown,” she said before ripping up one made of paper.

She smiled and celebrated while the handful of people witnessing the photo-op applauded.
