Queen Pelosi’s Personal Airline: the U.S. Air Force

Democrats have consistently ridiculed and condemned Fortune 500 Companies and CEOs for use of their private jets and wasteful spending in hard economic times, but what about Nancy Pelosi?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s business of running the U.S. House of Representatives not only gives her access to one jet, but a whole fleet of jets operated and ran by the Pentagon and the U.S. Air Force.

According to a report from Judicial Watch, Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her, her colleagues and family around the country, and has been notorious for making special demands for high-end aircraft, lodging last-minute cancellations and racking up additional expenses for the military, all on the taxpayer’s dollar.

In one case Pelosi wanted to bring her husband along to a trip to Iraq . Pentagon officials had to remind Queen Pelosi that spouses are not allowed to go along on military trips.

In an email recovered with the help of a Freedom of Information Act request, Queen Pelosi’s aid Kay King writes: “It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable…The Speaker will want to know where the planes are.”

Let me translate: The Queen demands to know why there are NO G5s available for the Memorial Day recess. She wants to know where her G5s are at, and who is using them so she can decide whether or not their use is more important than her request.

Is she a public servant? Hardly… I used Queen Pelosi because that is the growing mindset of the political class in D.C. These people are our RULERS, elected yes, but still rulers. In their mindset we are here to provide for them ...to provide a basis for their power.

Where Does All The Money Congress is Spending Come From?

Nancy Pelosi says if the economy continues to plummet she may call Congress back for a special session after the election to pass a 150 billion dollar economical stimulus plan… Yeah, cause the first one worked so well.

Of course this plan will be more of a wealth redistribution plan than an economic stimulus since most Americans who pay most of the taxes won’t be allowed to participate in the plan. Taking from those who have earned it and giving it to those who have not. After all as Barack Obama and Joe Biden has said taxes is not about revenues to the government; it is about fairness. Oh ... what fun we're going to have over the next four years.

Has anyone thought about asking where all this money is coming from? It’s not like Congress has 700 billion for a bailout, or a 150 billion-stimulus package sitting in a checking account somewhere. So where does it come from?

Yes, it comes from the taxpayer at the end, but they need that money now. So it is borrowed folks. It is borrowed from places like China, Germany and other foreign countries. This increases the national debt and makes the dollar even weaker.

This is why it cost 10.00 for a cup of coffee in France or 5.00 for a 20oz. Coke in Germany. Hold on to your wallets cause it is only going to get worse.

Nancy Pelosi and Democrats Slamming the Door on Domestic Drilling.

Looks like Nancy Pelosi and company have slammed the door on expanding our efforts to drill for oil anytime in the near future. Pelosi has decided oil companies can use the areas already approved for exploration, and calls the idea of drilling in areas protected “a hoax.” Well, I guess we better get use to these gas prices then.

This seems to be the new stance from the Democrats. “Instead of opening up new areas to exploration they should use the 90 million or so acres already available to them.” Yes, they are right, there are areas open to exploration, but the key word here is exploration. Just because you explore something doesn’t mean you actually find what you are looking for. Even Nancy Pelosi and friends should be able to realize that.

And in some areas there very well may be oil, but they are in depths or there are other logistical problems making extraction either impossible or not cost effective to pull it out of the ground. Look folks, there are other areas where oil can be extracted economically, but those are the areas democrats have placed a no trespassing sign on.

According to Nancy Pelosi, this is the entire problem is the republicans fault. She says efforts to expand drilling are “a decoy to punt attention away from the fact that [republican] policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”

Really??? Name me a policy Nancy? What policy would it be? The only policy I can think of is republicans caving to democrats when they had the majority.

Now, Pelosi is not a dumb lady…her stupidity on issues is underlined with ulterior motives. Pelosi and democrats know if the United States announced plans to open up ANWR, the Gulf Coast, oil shale lands in the west for oil exploration and recovery it is very likely oil prices would drop substantially.

OPEC nations would probably drop prices in hopes they could stall or stop the American drilling effort. Pelosi and democrats also know voters have a habit of attributing this kind of success or failure to the White House and they are not going to allow anything that would make a Republican look good, even if it means you have to pay five dollars a gallon for gas.

House Speaker Pelosi Praises Iran not US Military for Surge Success in Iraq

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi continued her support for the troops the only way she knows how, by discrediting their successes in Iraq. In her latest interview with the San Francisco Chronicle Pelosi claimed the US troops surge was a failure and then credited any success to “the goodwill of Iranians,” claiming they were responsible for ending violence in the southern city of Basra.

“Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, the surge didn’t accomplish its goal. And some of the success of the surge is that the goodwill of the Iranians—they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they negotiated that cessation of hostilities—the Iranians,” Pelosi told the chronicle in an interview lasting over an hour discussing various different topics.

Is this woman insane! She will not mention anything if it will reflect well on the US military or US policy, but will quickly butter up the Iranians. The same Iranians that are funding insurgent activities in Iraq and Afghanistan!

Is it possible Pelosi doesn’t know the Iranian-brokered-cease-fire in Basra fell through and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki ordered Iraqi Security Forces who with the help of US and coalition forces brought the Sadrists militias to their knees in a battle lasting a month driving insurgents out of Basra? How dare she downplay the sacrifice made from the blood sweat and tears of thousands of military service members and their families!

Of course this is common response from Nancy Pelosi. She has made comments similar to this in the past.

Considering the fact that democrats are still invested in our defeat in Iraq, and good news from Iraq is bad news for democrats Pelosi must feel this trip was productive for the cause. Discounting the success of the military, denying the accomplishments of the Iraqi Security Forces and giving credit to one of our most dangerous enemies puts her at the top for democrats on Capitol Hill.

Yesterday I mentioned Obama should make a trip to Iraq this summer, but after Pelosi’s treasonous affair there is really no reason for Obama to make this trip after all.

Big T's suggested reading and viewing from around the web.

Perhaps House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would like to rethink her comments calling the troop surge and Iraq a failure the same day seized letters written by al Qaeda leaders in Iraq are released claiming al Qaeda is in “total collapse” and “extraordinary crisis.”
