Daily Broadside | The Worst House Speaker in US History Will Be Memorialized in the Name of a Federal Building

Daily Verse | Revelation 5:13
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
    be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”

Tuesday’s Reading: Revelation 6-9

Christmas is not a holiday for those of us who worship Jesus Christ. I hope you and yours enjoyed the annual remembrance of the birth of our Savior and were able to give and receive gifts in honor of the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ.

I toyed with taking this week off from writing, but decided only to take Christmas off, so that’s why there was no post yesterday. The sludge that is our politics continues to pollute our culture unabated and there isn’t a worse example of the grifting, power-hungry, reckless, pandering, arrogant and self-important political class than Nancy Pelosi.

Nancy Pelosi ended her final speech as Speaker of the House by wishing everyone a happy ‘Schwanzaa.’

“Whatever it is you celebrate.”

What a perfect encapsulation of our nation’s identity, spoken by the woman who has sat at the head of a legislature that has done more to erase it than almost any other group other than the Marxists themselves.

I have great contempt for this shameful woman and her politics. She’s an irresponsible, unethical drunk who has abused her power over the years as the United States has fallen into an abyss of self-loathing and violence while she abused her office.

She has not responsibly used the political power she was given by God, “for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God” (Romans 13:1). 

Stuck in that monstrosity of a spending bill was a little item that only a few noticed:

Sec. 636 (a) of the bill states: “The Federal building located at 90 7th Street in San Francisco, California, shall be known and designated as the ‘Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building.’

This 82-year-old woman who has greatly contributed to the carnage in our country will live in infamy through a building named after her in San Francisco that has turned into a third-world hell hole under her watch.

What graft. What a self-aggrandizing stroke of her ego.

She will be known as one of the worst politicians in our history.

What tragedy.

Daily Broadside | Willful Ignorance is No Way to Go Through Life, Sisters

Daily Verse | Hebrews 3:14
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the confidence we had at first.

Thursday’s Reading: Hebrews 5-7

Thursday and the nonsense emanating from Washington just keeps surpassing my capacity to be surprised. This week Nancy Pelosi expressed shock — shock, I tell you! — about the wave of crime in her home district of San Francisco, including organized retail theft.

“It’s absolutely outrageous. Obviously it cannot continue,” Pelosi said. “But the fact is that there is an attitude of lawlessness in our country that springs from I don’t know where… and we cannot have that lawlessness become the norm.”

An “attitude of lawlessness,” you say?

No idea where it comes from, you say?

She knows where it comes from. We all do. It comes from her progressive minions who have led the nationwide agitation to defund the police. It comes from progressive policies that refuse to prosecute theft valued under $950 and activist DAs who reduce bail for criminals. This go-soft on crime not only undermines law and order, but signals criminals that they can get away with crime that used to be punished.

Even the mayor of San Francisco has had enough.

Mayor London Breed launched an emergency police intervention in San Francisco’s crime-ridden Tenderloin neighborhood Tuesday, targeting a pipeline of illegal drugs that has been fueling a surge in gun violence and deadly fentanyl overdoses.

Breed’s anger and frustration over the crime surge in the city were on full display at her noon news conference.

“It’s time the reign of criminals who are destroying our city, it is time for it to come to an end,” she said. “And it comes to an end when we take the steps to more aggressive with law enforcement. More aggressive with the changes in our policies and less tolerate of all the bull**** that has destroyed our city.”

How stunning! And brave! She even threw in a swear to prove How Serious I Am!

Funny, I’m old enough to remember when she supported the movement to defund the police, and when she actually proposed defunding the police.

The Mayor’s proposed budget acknowledges the structural inequities impacting the city’s African American community, resulting from generations of disinvestment. The proposed budget reinvests $120 million in funds over two years, predominately from the City’s law enforcement departments, towards efforts to repair the legacy of racially disparate policies on health, housing, and economic outcomes for African Americans. …

Mayor Breed’s budget is informed by that process and recognizes that the African American community must continue to be involved in determining the specific allocations of the funding. Therefore, the Human Rights Commission will continue leading a community process to determine how the $120 million will be allocated.

That was then, this is now. The next mayoral election is in 2023, meaning that she will have to ramp up her reelection efforts in … [checks calendar] … 2022!

How conveeeeenient!

Hey, I’m all for cracking down on criminals, no matter the motivation. But both the mayor and Nancy Pelosi are cynical politicians who change positions to preserve their power.

Pleading ignorance insults our intelligence and tells us all we need to know about Pelosi’s own attitude of lawlessness.
