  The despicable Nancy Pelosi has just been replaced by an election denier as the new leader for House Democrats. Hakeem Jeffries was just elected by House Dems in what the media is happily calling a ‘historic vote’. "That's what Democrats do. That's what our record says. Each and every day, House Democrats, committed to fighting hard for working families, middle class folks, those who aspire to be part of the middle class," Jeffries said. "Young people, seniors, immigrants, veterans. The poor, the sick, the afflicted, the least, the lost and the left behind. House Democrats fight for the people." Jeffries, whose district encompasses large parts of his native Brooklyn, was first elected to Congress in 2012 and steadily ascended the party ranks, ultimately becoming chairman of the Democratic caucus in 2019.

  Nancy Pelosi claimed today that the Supreme Court justices aren’t in any danger despite the House refusing to pass a bill providing more security for the Supreme Court. Pelosi claimed the justices are protected: WOW: "I don't know what you're talking about...but nobody is in danger."  Nancy Pelosi less than 48 hours after the attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice.   As best as I could understand Pelosi, here’s what she said after being questioned on her claim that the Supreme Court justices are protected: REPORTER: How can you say that the justices are protected when there was an attempt on Justice Kavanaugh’s life? PELOSI: He’s protected. This [legislation?] was not about the justices, it’s about the staff and the rest. The justices are protected. You saw the Attorney General even double down on that. REPORTER: But this is about security for the justices. An armed man showed up near Justice Kavanaugh’s house. PELOSI: We’re working together ...
