Liberal Women’s Groups Slam Amy Coney Barrett, Claim She Will ‘Turn Back the Clock on Equality’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Liberal women’s groups and Planned Parenthood are pulling no punches when going after President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.

The National Organization for Women, which is connected to a PAC that endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket, said Barrett “will turn back the clock on equality.”

“Donald Trump and the Senate Republicans want to steal another seat on the Supreme Court so that Amy Coney Barrett can help repeal Roe [v. Wade] and shred the Affordable Care Act – but not before she votes with a new, ultra-conservative majority to validate an election he intends to steal,” the National Organization for Women said in a statement.

The president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of the organization, said nominating Barrett constituted a “particular insult to the legacy of Justice [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg.”

“Barrett’s history of hostility toward reproductive health and rights, expanded health care access, and more demonstrate that she will put Justice Ginsburg’s long record of ensuring that everyone receives equal justice under the law at risk,” Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson said in a statement.

Dems Unveil Details of Stimulus Deal to Avoid Government Shutdown

/0 Comments/in , /by

The House on Tuesday night adopted a bill to avoid a partial government shutdown before the Nov. 3 election.

The short-term spending plan — detailed earlier Tuesday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — passed the lower chamber with strong bipartisan support by a vote of 359-57. . .

“We have reached an agreement with Republicans on the CR to add nearly $8 billion in desperately needed nutrition assistance for hungry schoolchildren and families,” Pelosi said in a statement following a deal with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. . .

Pelosi said the deal also includes a continued boost in food stamp spending amid an increase in unemployment linked to the virus.

“To help the millions of families struggling to keep food on the table during the pandemic, Democrats have renewed the vital, expiring lifeline of Pandemic EBT for a full year and enabled our fellow Americans in the territories to receive this critical nutrition assistance,” Pelosi said.

Again? Pelosi Doesn’t Rule Out Impeachment to Block SCOTUS Nominee

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Sunday’s broadcast of ABC’s “This Week,” that Democratic lawmakers have “arrows in our quiver,” when asked if impeachment was a possibility to stop a lame-duck Supreme Court nomination should President Donald Trump lose the White House in November and the vacancy following the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has not been filled.

Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “Let me press you though on what happens. You want people to get out and vote. And even that’s no guarantee that the White House and Senate Republicans won’t try to push through a Supreme Court nomination in a lame-duck session even if Joe Biden wins on November 3rd, even if Democrats win, pick up seats in the House, and maybe even the Senate. So what can you do then? Some have mentioned the possibility if they try to push through a nominee in a lame-duck session that you and the House can move to impeach President Trump or Attorney General Barr as a way of stalling and preventing the Senate from acting on this nomination.”

Pelosi said, “Well, we have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now, but the fact is we have a big challenge in our country. This president has threatened to not even accept the results of the election with statements that he and his henchmen have made. So right now, our main goal and I think Ruth Bader Ginsburg would want that to be to protect the integrity of the election, that we protect the American people from the coronavirus.” (Read more from “Again?

Nancy Pelosi Refuses to Rule Out Impeaching Trump to Stall a Supreme Court Nomination as She Accuses Him of Using SCOTUS Vacancy to Try to ‘Crush the Affordable Care Act’

By Daily Mail. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday refused to rule out pushing forward a privileged impeachment resolution that would have the effect of eating up Senate floor time and potentially stalling a Supreme Court nomination. . .

Host George Stephanopoulos had asked the speaker about impeaching either Trump or Attorney General Bill Barr as part of a strategy to slow the nomination, with Senate Democrats holding little leverage to act on their own, and President Donald Trump saying he will nominate a successor to Ruth Bader Ginsburg this week following Ginsburg’s death Friday. . .

Pelosi said the vacancy would galvanize supporters, and told Americans: ‘You can vote, you can get out the vote.’

She repeated her veiled threat when Stephanopoulos asked her: ‘But to be clear, you’re not taking any arrows out of your quiver, you’re not ruling anything out?’

‘Good morning. Sunday morning,’ she responded, smiling. ‘We have a responsibility, we take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ (Read more from “Nancy Pelosi Refuses to Rule Out Impeaching Trump to Stall a Supreme Court Nomination as She Accuses Him of Using SCOTUS Vacancy to Try to ‘Crush the Affordable Care Act'” HERE)

Despite Catholic Faith, Nancy Pelosi Wants to Keep Churches Closed

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a Catholic, doesn’t think churches should open until it is “scientifically safe” to do so.

Pelosi was asked at a Friday press conference to respond to Archbishop of San Francisco Salvatore Joseph Cordileone’s recent article urging California leaders to consider reopening churches. Despite her own violation of the COVID-19 government lockdown orders in San Francisco by booking and attending an illegal indoor hair appointment, Pelosi stated that going to in-person church services might be ” jeopardizing people’s health.”

“I don’t know if he was speaking as our pastor or as a lobbyist or advocate, but whatever it is, I’m sure that he must have meant if it is scientifically safe rather than jeopardizing people’s health if they want to go to church,” she explained.

While Pelosi admitted that she misses “going to church regularly,” she claims that she and the archbishop have “some areas of agreement and some areas of disagreement.”

“With all due respect to my Archbishop, I think we should follow science on this. And again with faith and science, sometimes they’re countered to each other,” Pelosi said. (Read more from “Despite Catholic Faith, Nancy Pelosi Wants to Keep Churches Closed” HERE)

Republicans Sound off on Pelosi’s Response to Trump’s Middle East Peace Deal

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Trump took part in a historic Israel-Arab peace deal signing at the White House on Tuesday that will normalize relations between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel. It’s the first such agreement between Israel and a major Arab country since 1994. . .

Most everyone celebrated the moment as a key step toward peace in the Middle East. Everyone except House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who recently called the agreement a “distraction” from the coronavirus pandemic.

“Good for him for having a distraction on a day when the numbers of people who are affected and the numbers of people who are dying from this virus only increases,” Pelosi sarcastically said.

The House GOP regretted that the speaker was so “consumed by politics” that she couldn’t celebrate this bipartisan achievement. . .

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .San Francisco salon owner Erica Kious said she is closing her business after the infamous visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Fox News reported.

“I am actually done in San Francisco and closing my doors, unfortunately,” Kious told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night.

“I started to just get a ton of phone calls, text messages, emails, all my Yelp reviews … saying that they hope I go under and that I fail,” she told the host about her eSalon. “So just a lot of negativity towards my business.”

Kious has denied Pelosi’s accusation that she set her up after releasing a video of the speaker walking around her business bare-faced, sparking charges of hypocrisy in light of the lawmaker’s frequent calls to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously.

The owner has said she rents out chairs to independent stylists and claimed she did not leak the video for “political” reasons. (Read more from “San Francisco Salon Owner Is Closing Her Shop After Nancy Pelosi’s Maskless Visit” HERE)

San Francisco Gym Owners Livid After Discovering Gyms in Government Buildings Have Been Opened for Months; Mayor Makes up Ridiculous Excuses for Pelosi’s Illegal Trip to the Salon

San Francisco Gym Owners Livid After Discovering Gyms in Government Buildings Have Been Opened for Months

By Washington Examiner. Gyms within government buildings in San Francisco have been open for months, despite privately owned establishments being ordered to close due to the coronavirus.

“It’s shocking, it’s infuriating,” Daniele Rabkin, of Crossfit Golden Gate, told a local NBC station. “Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking.”

The gyms that have been open for government employees include those for police officers, judges, lawyers, bailiffs, and paralegals, according to the report. One such gym, the Hall of Justice gym, has been open since July 1.

“It just demonstrates that there seems to be some kind of a double standard between what city employees are allowed to do and what the residents of San Francisco are allowed to do,” Dave Karraker, owner of MX3 Fitness in the Castro, said.

San Francisco Mayor Makes up Ridiculous Excuses for Pelosi’s Illegal Trip to the Salon

By Townhall. Many Americans are – rightfully – upset that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) decided to break San Francisco’s Wuhan coronavirus rules so she could get a wash and blowout at a local hair salon. Not only did she show up to a business that wasn’t supposed to be open (thanks, local government!) but she failed to wear a mask, something she’s repeatedly championed. To make matters even worse, San Fransisco Mayor London Breed (D) is going to bat for Pelosi.

“We have a terrorist, we have a dictator who is running this country and Nancy Pelosi is at the forefront fighting against this person everyday, you know, and I’m not trying to excuse what happened,” Breed told ABC 7. “I’m just saying that to allow an issue like this to turn our city upside down when we got folks who are homeless, we’ve got people who can’t open their business, including these salons. I understand.” . . .

Instead of admitting what Pelosi did was wrong and shouldn’t have happened, Breed said it’s “time for people to move on.”

“I get that they have these feelings, they are voicing their feelings, but we are doing the very best we can and I know that’s not good enough for them, I understand,” Breed said. “I get it, but at the end of the the day, it is really time for us to move on.” (Read more from “San Francisco Mayor Makes up Ridiculous Excuses for Pelosi’s Illegal Trip to the Salon” HERE)

Salongate Took Another Turn: Pelosi’s Stylist Just Chimed In; Pelosi Claims She Was ‘Set up’ for Violating COVID Orders

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi demanded an apology from her “neighborhood salon” on Wednesday after claiming she was “set up” during a visit to get her hair done despite COVID-19 lockdown mandates ordering salons closed.

“I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that I’ve been to…many times…It was a setup, and I take responsibility for falling for a setup,” Pelosi said.

“I think that this salon owes me an apology, for setting me up,” she added.

A video released on Tuesday by Fox News shows Pelosi wandering back to her salon chair with wet hair without a mask. Despite San Francisco regulations that ban salons from reopening until Sept. 1, and even then only for outdoor appointments, Pelosi booked an indoor appointment.

Despite her claims on Wednesday that this was an intentional effort to embarrass her, Pelosi’s team argued earlier on Tuesday that the salon incident was instead a misunderstanding. (Read more from “Pelosi Claims She Was ‘Set up’ for Violating COVID Orders” HERE)

Salongate Took Another Turn: Pelosi’s Stylist Just Chimed In

By Townhall. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) hit the ultimate hypocrisy level when she walked into a salon on Monday to get a wash and blowout. She wasn’t wearing a mask and salons in San Francisco have been closed due to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Instead of admitting that she’s a hypocrite and believes the rules are for everyone else but her, she claimed the whole thing was a “setup.”

The salon’s owner, Erica Kious, was upset with the speaker.

“It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can’t work,” Kious told Fox News.

Now, the stylist who did Pelosi’s hair – and rents a chair in Kious’ salon – is speaking out about the situation through his lawyer. The stylist, Jonathan DeNardo, claimed to have received prior permission from Kious before Pelosi’s appointment.

“Mr. DeNardo received advance approval from Ms. Kious the day prior to the appointment during a telephone discussion on August 29, 2020 at 9:26 pm, wherein Mr. DeNardo advised Ms. Kious that he would not proceed with Speaker Pelosi’s appointment without Ms. Kious’ authorization,” a letter from DeNardo’s attorney, Matthew Soleimanpour stated.

/1 Comment/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited a San Francisco hair salon on Monday afternoon for a wash and blow-out, despite local ordinances keeping salons closed amid the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News had learned.

In security footage obtained by Fox News, and timestamped Monday at 3:08 p.m. Pacific Time, the California powerhouse is seen walking through eSalon in San Francisco with wet hair, and without a mask over her mouth or nose. . .

Salons in San Francisco had been closed since March and were only notified they could reopen on Sept. 1 for outdoor hairstyling services only.

Speaking during an interview with MSNBC Monday afternoon, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went on an unhinged rant about President Trump and his Republican allies on Capitol Hill.
