BOOM! Kash Patel Fires Warning Shot at Pelosi During Senate Confirmation Hearing – Lays Blame for J6 Rioting Directly at the Feet of Nancy Pelosi 

Senator Ted Cruz questioned Kash Patel on Thursday during his confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to protect the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Finally, the truth is coming out!

Senator Ted Cruz: What were you doing on that day?

Kash Patel: On that day, specifically, responding to, preparing to mobilize and employ the National Guard once we got the lawful request from the local governing authority, which was the mayor of DC and the speaker of the House.

Senator Ted Cruz: Now, how many days in advance were you working to prepare the Department of Defense to help secure the Capitol on January sixth?

Kash Patel: Days in advance, Senator, we were in the oval office on an unrelated national security matter with the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and myself and the President authorized up to 20,000 plus National Guard men and women to secure any security measures necessarily related to the capital. We were moving to the fullest extent of the law before the requisite request came from a local governing authority days ahead of time.

Ted Cruz: While you were Chief of Staff at DOD, how many times did DOD approach Capitol Police and ask if they needed National Guard assistance?

Kash Patel: I believe those letters are well-documented numerous instances, and numerous of those instances, those requests were shut down.

Ted Cruz: Now, am I correct that the Capital Sergeant at Arms said assistance was unnecessary?

Kash Patel: That’s correct, Senator.

Ted Cruz: Who did the Sergeant at Arms report to?

Kash Patel: The speaker of the House.

Ted Cruz: That would have been Nancy Pelosi at the time. Is that correct?

Kash Patel: Yes, Senator.

Ted Cruz: Would that also be Chuck Schumer, then the Senate Majority Leader?

Kash Patel: The Sergeant at Arms, yes, Senator, reports up there.

Ted Cruz: Did Mayor Bowser, the Democrat elected mayor in DC, either request or allow National Guard assistance?

Kash Patel: She put in writing on the days leading up to January sixth, a declination for National Guard additional support, and that letter is available publicly to the world.

Ted Cruz: Just to speak English for folks at home, a declination meant she said, no, don’t send National Guard. Is that right?
Kash Patel:

Ted Cruz: Yes sir.

Democrat Civil War Escalates As Party Turns on Pelosi

I said before that an intraparty civil war may be brewing in the Democratic Party in the wake of the Republican Party’s tremendous victory in the 2024 elections. And evidence continues to build. 

Everyone is looking to blame someone for the loss. Fingers have been pointed at Joe Biden for not dropping out earlier, Kamala Harris for running a terrible campaign, and Tim Walz for being Tim Walz. The party’s problems appear to be getting worse, as Pelosi is now being told to “take a seat” and get out of the way.

Among other issues, Pelosi faces mounting criticism from her Democrat colleagues for publicly undermining her successor, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Pelosi’s recent remarks, particularly in an interview with the New York Times, have ignited a firestorm within the party, with several Democrats privately expressing their frustration.

The tension stems from Pelosi’s comments suggesting that President Joe Biden should have exited the 2024 race earlier. “Had that happened, there may have been other candidates in the race,” she said, fueling yet another round of finger-pointing between Biden and Harris factions. 

While the Times article included more complimentary and caveated language than originally indicated, the damage was done. Pelosi, once the undisputed power in the House, has once again sparked divisions within her own party.

Someone Finally Tells Nancy Pelosi What the Rest of Us Are Thinking. Who It Is Will Surprise You.

When Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman first came on the national scene, I can’t say I was impressed. Granted, the majority of Democrats in office these days don’t impress me, but he seemed extra unimpressive. Lately, however, I’ve gained a little bit of respect for the man. 

Nancy Pelosi hasn’t been making a lot of friends in the Democrat Party lately after throwing Joe Biden under the bus. Last week, while appearing on a New York Times podcast, she blamed the president, who she essentially forced to drop out and stop his reelection bid, for costing Democrats the 2024 presidential election. “Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” she said, adding that the plan was for there to be an open primary, but Biden endorsed Kamala Harris before anyone could stop him. 

Some Dems have had little disputes with her here and there over the matter, but Fetterman didn’t mince words today when he called Pelosi out for trying to “have it both ways” in an interview with Politico. But he didn’t stop there. He also suggested that it’s high time for 84-year-old Pelosi to step aside and let a new generation of Democrats take over.  

People like Pelosi, she really tried to — what’s the word I’m looking for? — she embraced this ‘she’s the godmother, she’s the enforcer.’ And now she’s blaming Biden. Well, you can’t have it both ways. You got what you wanted, and now you’re still blaming Biden. I think it’s really ironic that you have a woman at age 84 and she is still hanging on. Why not give a younger generation an opportunity to occupy that seat?

Finally, someone was brave enough to say the quiet part out loud. Look, I’m not an ageist. I, like most of the country, just voted for a 78-year-old man for president. But Pelosi has been in politics since long before I was born, and she’s been a congresswoman since 1987. She literally just won re-election yet again this year with over 81% of the vote in her congressional district. Who the hell is voting for her? I’ve never been to this district myself, and I’m kind of glad because I don’t think I ever want to be surrounded by 261,797 people who think she’s a good idea.

Pelosi’s Latest Big Lie Is Too Much Even for the Washington Post

The Washington Post’s fact checks have by and large been tools of partisan politics. We saw this most notoriously in Oct. 2020, when the Post undercut reports that Hunter Biden arranged what looked to all the world like an influence-peddling meeting between one of his foreign business clients and The Big Guy, that is, his father, who was vice president at the time. 

The fact that the Post’s “fact checks” are largely designed to intimidate, confuse, and undermine foes of the left’s agenda makes it all the more striking that on Wednesday, the Post’s fact-checking spotlight was shining on none other than Nancy Pelosi, who must have been all the more indignant that it wasn’t PJ Media or Fox catching her lying, but one of the left’s principal propaganda organs.

Fox News reported Thursday that Pelosi “was fact-checked on Wednesday by the Washington Post for claiming that fewer migrants came into the U.S. under President Biden than under President-elect Trump’s first term.” That’s right. Pelosi is actually claiming that President Open Borders let in fewer illegal migrants than President Wall.

Give Pelosi credit for audacity: she knows there is a certain segment of people out there who will believe her and dismiss the claims of her opponents, and even of the Washington Post fact check because they’re ideologically committed to the idea that the Democrats, and the left in general, are on the side of righteousness, justice, and truth. And after all, how many people out there are really paying attention? She knew she had a good chance to get some people to believe her claims, no matter how outlandish, and on this occasion, she really went for the gold medal of chutzpah.

In the midst of an election post-mortem, Pelosi said: “I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump.” Yeah, maybe you and your cadres weren’t clear enough in making that point because it is wildly, howlingly, blazingly, outlandishly false. But Pelosi coolly went on to ascribe the catastrophic Democrat loss of the presidency, the Senate, and the House to a failure to make themselves clear: “It’s clarity of the message, and if that’s what Bernie’s talking about, and that’s what Joe Manchin’s talking about, we weren’t clear in our message as to what things are, then I agree with that.”

BLAME GAME: Nancy Pelosi Says Biden’s Refusal to Drop Out Cost Kamala Harris The Election

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has argued that “it would have been different” if Joe Biden had agreed to stand down earlier than he eventually did.

Biden repeatedly refused to exit the presidential race despite glaring evidence that he is suffering from dementia and other age-related issues.

However, his campaign fell apart after a disastrous television debate with Donald Trump in which he was barely coherent.

This triggered panic among Democratic leaders, with Pelosi and Barack Obama eventually demanding that he step aside. Biden eventually heeded this request in mid-July and endorsed Kamala Harris.

In an interview with The New York Times podcast, Pelosi indicated that allowing Biden to remain in the race proved to be a fatal error.

“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” she explained. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.”

“And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward. But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen.”

“We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.”

Pelosi was also asked to weigh in on comments by Senator Bernie Sanders that the Democratic Party had lost its key working-class constituencies due to its obsession with identity politics.

“Bernie Sanders has not won,” Pelosi explained. “With all due respect, and I have a great deal of respect for him, for what he stands for, but I don’t respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working-class families.”

“Guns, God and gays — that’s the way they say it,” she continued. “Guns, that’s an issue; gays, that’s an issue, and now they’re making the trans issue such an important issue in their priorities; and in certain communities, what they call God, what we call a woman’s right to choose.”

Dems in Disarray: Pelosi Seen Arguing with Donna Brazile at Kamala Harris’s Defeat Speech 

The Democrats are in disarray after Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was seen arguing with former acting DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile at Kamala Harris’s concession speech at Howard University in DC.

Kamala Harris delivered her concession speech on Wednesday afternoon around after she abandoned her supporters Tuesday night.

Kamala Harris sent out her campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond to tell the crowd to go home last night.

After hiding for nearly 24 hours, Kamala Harris finally delivered a concession speech.

Kamala Harris only spoke for 12 minutes.

Pelosi was an emotional mess at Kamala’s defeat speech.

She was spotted looking somber and teary eyed.

Cameras caught Pelosi in a heated argument with Donna Brazile as DC Mayor Muriel Bowser watched.

Grant Cardone Calculates Nancy Pelosi Would Have To Be ‘1500 Years Old’ To Earn Her $120 Million Net Worth On Current Salary

Grant Cardone recently gave his take on Nancy Pelosi’s impressive $120 million net worth during a DJ Vlad interview and as usual, it came with his signature bluntness.

Cardone, a well-known real estate investor, didn’t hold back when he questioned how someone making a public servant’s salary of $179,000 could amass such a fortune. “Can’t do the math on it,” he said, calculating that Pelosi would have to be over 3,300 years old to build up that wealth if she lived solely on her paycheck.

But then he did the actual math using a calculator. After deducting taxes in California, he divided Pelosi’s net worth by her salary and determined she’d have to be 1500 years old to earn $120 million.

Now, Cardone’s tongue-in-cheek comment about Pelosi needing to be “1500 years old if she never spent one penny” may have raised eyebrows. Still, it highlights something people have been curious about for a while: how does a person in a position like hers achieve such financial success? It’s not a secret that Pelosi has a substantial stock portfolio and her trades are closely watched. Some even claim she’s one of the savviest investors in Congress.

Nancy Pelosi’s husband sold more than $500K worth of Visa stock — just weeks before DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit

Nancy Pelosi’s husband unloaded more than $500,000 worth of Visa stock — less than three months before the credit card giant was slapped with federal antitrust charges, public documents show.

Visa was hit with a lawsuit on Tuesday that alleged the company has illegally monopolized the debit card market — the culmination of a years-long review conducted by the Justice Department’s antitrust unit.

Visa allegedly used its dominant market position to penalize customers and merchants who use competing payment processors, according to court papers.

Antitrust cops also allege that Visa forces financial tech firms to work with it by threatening to penalize those who don’t.

The Post has sought comment from Visa.

Meanwhile, Christopher Josephs, the tech entrepreneur who runs the “Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker” on X, posted a screenshot of a congressional filing on July 3 which showed that the former House speaker’s husband, Paul Pelosi, had sold 2,000 shares of Visa worth between $500,000 and $1 million.

The Untold Story Behind Biden’s Sudden Exit: Pelosi Issued a Ruthless Ultimatum to Joe Biden

Joe Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race has ignited a firestorm of speculation and intrigue within the Democrat Party.

Sources close to the situation reveal that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a ruthless ultimatum to Biden: step aside or face public humiliation over fears he cannot defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election, the Daily Mail reported.

Here’s timeline of the Democratic Party’s covert operation to replace Joe Biden with a stronger candidate:

June 18: Insider reports reveal a secret plot within the Democrat Party to replace President Joe Biden if he stumbles during his initial debate with former President Donald Trump or if his poll numbers continue their downward spiral.

This plot, first reported by the Daily Mail, is allegedly being orchestrated by some of the most influential figures in the party, including former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

July 2: As the situation becomes more dire, left-wing media outlets like NBC News, The New York Times, and The Daily Beast join the chorus calling for Biden to step aside following a disastrous debate performance. All of a sudden, Nancy Pelosi publicly admits that Joe Biden may be suffering from cognitive decline. During an appearance on MSNBC, she asked: “I think it’s a legitimate question to say, is this an episode or is this a condition?”

July 7: The plot thickens as Axios reports that a growing number of Democrats are pleading for intervention. As Biden “Dementia Joe” stubbornly refuses to quit the race, party leaders are scrambling.

Behind the scenes, they are enlisting everyone from the Obamas to congressional leaders to pressure Biden to step down by the end of the week. The hope is that Biden will endorse Kamala Harris as his successor, potentially avoiding a chaotic battle at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

Axios notes that all eyes are on former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who has the stature to tell Biden to pack things up.

July 10: In an interview with MSNBC, Pelosi further distances herself from Biden by refusing to endorse him as the Democratic presidential nominee, fueling speculation that she is orchestrating his exit.

July 11: Reports have surfaced detailing the behind-the-scenes maneuvers of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi. A significant leak reveals a heated phone call between Obama and far-left actor George Clooney, discussing the precarious situation. As more details emerge, it becomes clear that the former president and House Speaker are working tirelessly to convince Biden to make way for a more viable candidate.

July 17: Nancy Pelosi is reportedly convinced that Joe Biden will lose to Donald Trump in November and fears that he could end up destroying the Democratic Party.

According to Politico, Pelosi has been “working the phones” in order to try and convinced Biden to make away for a more electable alternative. In his column on Tuesday, the outlet’s senior political columnist and politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin suggested that Pelosi is trying to keep her maneuvering quiet, presumably in the hope to maintain some sort of party unity.

July 20: Biden’s anger is palpable as he isolates at his Rehoboth Beach home following a supposed COVID diagnosis. According to sources close to Biden, he is furious with Pelosi and Obama, accusing them of orchestrating coordinated leaks to force him out of the 2024 race. The New York Times and CBS News have confirmed that these damaging leaks are part of a larger strategy by powerful Democrats to remove Biden from the race.

July 21: The situation reaches a boiling point as Politico reports that Pelosi delivered a chilling ultimatum to Biden. According to a Democrat familiar with the private conversations, Pelosi said, “Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way. She gave them three weeks of the easy way. It was about to be the hard way.”

On the same day, Biden dropped out of the presidential race.

Biden Admits Coup, Pelosi Says Resignation Letter “Didn’t Sound Like Joe Biden”

Speaking for the first time since he was apparently forced to step aside, Joe Biden confirmed that high ranking Democrats pushed him out of the race, essentially corroborating the accusations of a ‘coup’.

In an interview with CBS’ Robert Costa, Biden stated “The polls we had showed that it was a neck-and-neck race that would have gone down to the wire. But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races.”

He continued, “And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic — you’d be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say (unintelligible). And I thought it’d be a real distraction.”
