Nancy Pelosi Disclosed a Multi-Million Dollar AI Investment Just Weeks Before the Stock Blew Up

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi disclosed a multimillion-dollar investment last month in an artificial intelligence company whose stocks exploded in value soon after.

Pelosi’s husband Paul invested in Bloom Energy, a California-based company that provides fuel-cell technology and power systems aimed at meeting the enormous electricity demands of AI data centers.

According to a financial transaction report Pelosi signed Aug. 21, her household made several Bloom Energy purchases in late July.

The transactions included 10,000 shares purchased July 24, along with 100 call options, according to reporting from the New York Post. Another 5,000 shares and 100 additional call options were purchased July 28.

The disclosed value ranges put the combined transactions at a minimum of roughly $3 million, although the actual amount could have been as much as $12 million, because congressional financial disclosure forms use broad dollar ranges.

The July 24 purchases came after Bloom Energy’s stock had suffered a significant decline.

Then came July 28.

That was the same day Bloom Energy reported extremely strong earnings, with annual revenue growth of 165 percent, according to the Post.

Bloom Energy’s stock subsequently took off.

Then, on Sept. 4, another major development arrived: Bloom Energy was announced as a new addition to the S&P 500.

The company is scheduled to join the benchmark index Sept. 21, alongside Everpure and Illumina.

Bloom Energy shares surged following the announcement, with the stock gaining nearly 40 percent over a five-day period, according to the Post.

By Tuesday, Bloom Energy shares were trading around $282.50, compared with $184.89 on July 24, the day of the first Pelosi household purchase.

That’s a striking move in a matter of weeks.

And it makes the timing of the disclosure noteworthy.

Pelosi’s office has said the former speaker does not own stocks and had no knowledge of or subsequent involvement in the transactions.

The trades were made by her husband and reported through the congressional disclosure system as transactions involving a spouse.

In an article about the transactions, financial writer Rich Duprey of 24/7 Wall Street  dubbed Pelosi “the queen of capital gains.”

“Pelosi’s trading record in Congress has consistently outpaced the S&P 500 and even Warren Buffett over comparable stretches, fueling suspicion that lawmakers with committee-level oversight enjoy an informational edge,” Duprey observed.

The New York Post said Pelosi “has faced heated blowback for her family’s trading activity — racking up a 65% return on her portfolio in 2023 while her venture capitalist husband made $38 million worth of stock trades in the weeks leading up to President Trump’s inauguration.”

Duprey noted that multiple bills to ban stock trading by members of Congress have been introduced, but they’ve all stalled.

The Democratic former House Speaker’s trades have been so notable that in 2023, GOP Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri introduced one such bill that he dubbed the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act – or the PELOSI Act.

Hawley later met with Democrats and agreed to change the name of the bill to the HONEST Act — Halting Ownership and Non-Ethical Stock Transactions — which allowed enough Democratic support to advance the bill out of committee in July 2025.

Pelosi Plays Stupid, Claims She Didn’t Know Biden Was Mentally Declining – Takes a Veiled Shot at Jill Biden

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday claimed she didn’t know that Joe Biden was mentally declining until she saw his June 2024 debate performance.

“You see, when I was Speaker, I saw the president all the time, but when I wasn’t then I saw him maybe 3 times that whole year and so I didn’t know, and I think he had his sort of ups and downs,” Pelosi said on Tuesday at Politico’s The California Agenda: Sacramento Summit.

But I do think those who did know should have acted upon that information…whoever knew,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi took a veiled shot at Jill Biden.

“There was staff saying the family knew. The family said the staff,” Pelosi said without mentioning Dr. Jill’s name.

Pelosi said that she learned about Biden’s mental decline during the June 2024 debate against Trump.

“When you think of the debate and how sad that was, that’s really when we learned,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi Slams Dem Trying to Replace Her in House for ‘Sexist’ Campaign Chatbot

Watching the woke eat their own is an entertaining sideshow — and while it’s unfortunate when it won’t end up benefiting a Republican, at least we can take heart that Nancy Pelosi will go out slamming a thoroughly woke gay man who’s poised to replace her in Congress.

California state Sen. Scott Wiener is locked in a two-Democrat race with San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan to replace the retiring Rep. Pelosi (or, as other Democrats love to refer to her, “Speaker Emerita Pelosi”). Wiener was first in the jungle primary in June, but given that the top two advance and second place was Chan, it’s woke vs. woke, and Pelosi has endorsed Chan’s version.

Part of Wiener’s problem in a heavily Democratic district is that he’s Jewish and won’t call Israel’s war against the terrorist group Hamas a “genocide,” which means that anti-Semitism has reared its ugly head. In addition to Pelosi’s endorsement, the San Francisco online news outlet Mission Local reported that third-place finisher Saikat Chakrabarti endorsed Chan as well, and he “shares a progressive-leaning voter base with Chan.”

Polls show the race as close; while both are crazy in their own way, Wiener tends more toward the culturally woke, trans-the-kids side, while Chan tends toward the anti-development, defund-the-police woke side. It’s like a reverse “Sophie’s Choice” — you have to keep one.

And, as in any campaign between wokeistas, there are going to be intersecting claims of prejudice. To that end, we have the rich irony of Wiener getting accused of sexism, in a letter reported by Politico, for launching a chatbot that chronicles his opponent’s foibles.

“Women have spent generations fighting to have our own voices heard in the halls of power,” Pelosi wrote in the letter, which was signed by several other female Democrats.

“We should not have to fight against artificial intelligence putting words in our mouths.”

Nancy Pelosi Says She’s ‘Done’

Nancy Pelosi is “done,” ladies and gentlemen. No, she’s not dead—no one has dropped a house on her like they did her sister—she’s just “done” with whatever. It’s hard to tell because everything associated with Democrats is about as sincere as a “bless your heart” is in Georgia. Still, she’s done, she says, which we will get into in a second, but first let me say that I am glad she’s done with things because America needs to be done with her. Pelosis, like fish, begin to smell after three days.

Of course, it’s been longer than three days since Nancy D’Alesandro first inflicted herself on America—she’s been grifting us all since 1987. In that time, she has climbed the ladder of power faster than most people ever could. In fact, the only thing that has risen faster than her career is her net worth, which surely is just a coincidence because she swears she has never, and would never, use her position in Congress and leadership in the Democrat Party to enrich herself.

She, Nancy insists, has no interest in such things; she’s only interested in “serving” the country, especially the poor. It’s amazing how many leftists get rich “helping” the poor, isn’t it? I had no idea there was so much money in it. If people did, I bet many would have made different career choices.

But Nancy’s husband, Paul, has never been a “public servant”; he’s been trading stock with a success rate greater than someone with a time machine. Fear not, however, it’s all been on the up-and-up, as the two never speak about financial matters or pending government action or grants. Paul is just a really good guesser.

The Pelosis are so disinterested in money that they’ve been invited to participate in many initial public offerings from companies they don’t really have any connections to outside of her position in government. Surely you’ve had many, too, right?

Pelosi Dodges Questions About Her Husband’s Latest Hit-and-Run Crash 

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dodged a Fox News reporter who asked her questions about her husband’s latest hit-and-run crash.

Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, 86, was charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run after his car crash in Napa County in California.

The crash happened on July 3 on Yountville Cross Road.

Pelosi was not charged with a DUI in his latest hit-and-run.

Paul Pelosi damaged a parked Tesla and fled the scene, according to the criminal complaint.

This is the second time Paul Pelosi has been involved in a car crash in the last few years.

Recall that in May 2022 Paul Pelosi was hit with 3 years probation after drunkenly crashing into a Jeep.

According to court documents, Paul Pelosi slurred his speech and had a ‘drug’ in his system during his drunk driving arrest on May 28, 2022.

Pelosi had red, watery eyes, was “unsteady on his feet” and “he had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath.”

Fox News confronted Pelosi on Tuesday about her husband latest crash.

“Can you tell us if you think the misdemeanor charge against Paul was fair?” a Fox News reporter asked Nancy Pelosi.

Fox News continued to press Pelosi: “Any reaction to the charge that he’s facing?”

Pelosi ignored the questions as she got into a vehicle and took off.

Paul Pelosi Under Investigation After Alleged Hit-and-Run

Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is under investigation after authorities say he hit a parked vehicle and left the scene Friday in Napa County, California.

The crash happened around 2:30 p.m. in the town of Yountville. According to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, an unattended vehicle parked along Yount Street was struck, leaving it with heavy damage to the rear. A witness told deputies the driver stopped briefly after the collision before pulling away in a brown convertible.

“The witness provided deputies with the direction the suspect vehicle was last seen traveling,” a press release said, according to NBC News. “A short time later, deputies observed a [California Highway Patrol] vehicle parked behind a brown convertible car, which was partially blocking the roadway.”

Investigators later identified the driver as 86-year-old Pelosi. Authorities said Pelosi’s vehicle had extensive damage to the front passenger side. During the investigation, Pelosi acknowledged that he had hit something but said he did not realize it was another vehicle.

He told deputies he continued driving until his car could no longer be driven. Investigators said there was no indication alcohol played a role in the crash. Pelosi was not taken into custody because California law generally requires misdemeanor offenses to occur in an officer’s presence before an arrest can be made without a warrant.

Local authorities are now taking steps to review whether Pelosi should still have his license. The sheriff’s office confirmed it plans to submit a driver reexamination request to the California DMV—a standard protocol often used for older drivers. Meanwhile, the entire case file has been handed over to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office to determine if charges will be filed.

This isn’t the first time Pelosi has made headlines for a traffic incident in Napa County. In 2022, he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence following a late-night collision, which resulted in a five-day jail sentence.

According to the California Highway Patrol report from that incident, Pelosi was driving a 2021 Porsche on Walnut Drive when he pulled out to enter State Route 29, colliding with a Jeep traveling down the highway.

As Breitbart News reported at the time, “The speaker’s husband was arrested just before midnight Saturday (11:44 p.m.) in Napa County and booked into jail hours later — just after four o’clock in the morning — on two counts, according to the Napa County Criminal Justice Network.”

Nancy Pelosi Calls DACA Illegal Aliens ‘the Gold Standard of Immigrants’

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says illegal aliens enrolled in former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) are “the gold standard of immigrants” in the United States.

This week marked 14 years since Obama created DACA via executive action. The quasi-amnesty program has allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to avoid deportation solely because they were smuggled into the U.S. as children.

During an interview this week, Pelosi praised DACA illegal aliens and touted that House Democrats have repeatedly sought to give them amnesty, including a pathway to American citizenship.

“Freedoms for these DREAMers to be in the U.S. and be the gold standard of immigrants coming to our country,” Pelosi said. “They’re all about freedom. It’s one thing here. Yes, it’s bringing from our Constitution in many ways and our value system.”

Just last year, a DACA illegal alien was extradited to the U.S. to face charges that he murdered 22-year-old Lesly Palacio at his residence in August 2020 before getting his father to help him move the woman’s body into the bed of a truck.

Palacio’s remains were found two weeks later in the Valley of Fire State Park.

Also, last year, a DACA illegal alien was sentenced to federal prison for leading a straw purchasing ring for the Mexican drug cartels.

As Breitbart News previously reported, standards for DACA were set so low that tens of thousands of illegal aliens with prior arrest records for crimes including murder, rape, kidnapping, and sex abuse were able to secure deferred deportation status and work permits to stay in the U.S.

Federal records published in November 2019 by President Donald Trump’s administration reveal the scale to which illegal aliens with prior arrests were able to apply for and be granted DACA.

As of October 2019, the federal government had granted DACA to nearly 68,000 illegal aliens with prior arrest records, while fewer than 30,000 illegal aliens with prior arrests were denied DACA or had their DACA status terminated as a result.

More than 25,000 illegal aliens were granted DACA despite having been arrested for drunk driving, along with roughly 3,300 previously arrested for assault, nearly 1,500 previously arrested for burglary, almost 600 previously arrested for hit-and-run, 259 previously arrested for sex abuse or child rape, more than 170 previously arrested for kidnapping, 62 previously arrested for rape, more than 30 previously arrested for animal cruelty, 15 previously arrested for murder, five previously arrested for manslaughter, and two previously arrested for having child pornography.

Nancy Pelosi Had the Dirt on Eric Swalwell and Used It Like a Pro: Josh Hawley

Sen. Josh Hawley discussed concerns about congressional leadership and accountability during a conversation with Fox News host Jesse Watters, focusing on past intelligence briefings, internal party dynamics, and a new legislative proposal targeting pensions for convicted lawmakers.

Hawley said he believes former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was aware of concerns involving Rep. Eric Swalwell prior to recent developments, referencing a prior FBI briefing.

“I don’t have any doubt about it, Jesse, because he had become a liability,” Hawley said.

He said Pelosi had been informed about potential risks tied to Swalwell as early as 2020.

“And you pointed out she knew all about this,” Hawley said. “She was briefed by the FBI back in 2020 that the guy was a target of a Chinese spy, Fang Fang.”

Hawley also referenced the broader situation involving the alleged spy.

“And by the way, Fang Fang probably got a medal of commendation,” he said. “That’s like the worst espionage assignment in the history of the world.”

He said the situation created political risks for party leadership.

Nancy Pelosi Denies That Democrats Had Any Advanced Knowledge of Eric Swalwell’s Behavior

Today on CSPAN, former house speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked if she or other Democrats had any advanced knowledge of Eric Swalwell’s behavior or the things he has been accused of.

The host framed it as an accusation that Republicans are making, rather than pointing out that people all over the country are now admitting that Swalwell’s issues were an open secret for years.

Pelosi denied the whole thing, saying it is “absolutely not true.”

Pelosi’s comments are in direct conflict with a new report from ABC 7 in California (emphasis is ours):

U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for California governor following sexual assault allegations, announcing the decision Sunday as scrutiny intensified around the Democratic primary race.

In a statement, Swalwell said he would step aside to address the claims.

“To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made – but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.”

The suspension immediately reshaped a closely watched contest in which Swalwell had held a narrow lead among Democrats.

Criticism of Swalwell has circulated in Washington for years, according to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who spoke on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Every member in Congress knows not to let any young staffer around Swalwell or Matt Gaetz, it’s not a secret there,” McCarthy said.

Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown said the allegations were not unexpected, citing longstanding talk among Democratic leaders.

HUGE! Democrats Schiff, Pelosi Turn on Swalwell, Withdraw Endorsements, Call on Him to Drop Out of California Governor’s Race Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

Creepy Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell is going down in flames.

Swalwell is currently running as a Democrat in California’s gubernatorial race.

As TGP reported earlier on Friday, The San Francisco Chronicle published a story about a woman who claimed that Democrat Eric Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice.

The woman, who worked as a staffer in Swalwell’s office for two years, told The San Francisco Chronicle that Swalwell began pursuing her just weeks after she was hired at the age of 21 in 2019.

“A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Swalwell denied the allegations.

“These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,” he said.
