    The most partisan speaker in US history. The Conference Room named in her honour should ceremonially rip up all speeches held there…shame.

    (History witnesses people very often choosing attitudes d e s p i t e how these'll look & feel at any practical level (also to others), claiming to be enjoying their freedom… Historically also, a gavel inspires so many different things… (some downright incongruous with its known practical utility, even with humanly bearable feelings, let alone looks. for others principally, all 3))

    What's with all of this democrat self-glorification? And why in the hell is "Super-Rino" John Boehner's feelings/comments suddenly worthy of note? (Oh, btw … I sure hope those "green ween" activist kids don't super glue their hands to her portrait. That would be so wrong.)

    During the 2019 – 20 riots (sorry, “peaceful protests”, as framed by Western politicians and media) one man was killed. One man was set on fire by them. Police officers were attacked and injured. Police officers and their families were threatened and doxed by the rioters (sorry, “peaceful protesters”, as framed by Western politicians and media). The rioters (sorry, “peaceful protesters” as framed by Western politicians and media) threatened to attack police married quarters. Government employees and their families were also threatened and doxed by the rioters (sorry, “peaceful protesters”, as framed by Western politicians and media). The Chamber of the Legislative Council was invaded and vandalized. Infrastructure was also vandalized and the petrol bomb became ubiquitous in the hands of rioters (sorry, “peaceful protesters”, as framed by Western politicians and media). When the National Security Law was introduced The West went into self-righteous overdrive. Rather amusing considering that shortly afterwards Canada invoked their Emergency Powers Act, for truckers honking their horns and nothing like the violence seen in Hong Kong. No other country would have permitted the level of violence caused by the rioters (sorry, “peaceful protesters”, as framed by Western politicians and media). It is nice to see that the National Security Law has returned Hong Kong to peace and prosperity. And through it all Nancy Pelosi called the riots (sorry, “peaceful protesters”, as framed by Western politicians and media) a “beautiful sight”.

    What in the name of heaven is going on with the Camera Work of those filming this Ceremony. It seems a child of 4 has been given the camera. The constant noise is embarrassing and the jiggling is making me nauseous. Shame on WAPO.

    A quick list of her speaker accomplishments:

    The Affordable Care Act: Better known as Obamacare with the public option (the option was eventually taken out for the Republican compromise of the Heritage Foundation mandate, yeah the one they say they hate).

    Dodd-Frank: This Wall Street reform was passed as a response to the recession of 2008 with hope that a financial crisis like that will never happen again and in hopes that banks will never become too big to fail.

    Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay: Sought to make sure women receive equal pay for equal work.

    Economic Stimulus Act of 2008: Passed to lessen the blow of a recession and boost the economy away from a financial freefall. “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 put $787 billion into the economy in hope of blunting the effect of the recession.”

    The repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: Which allowed LGBTQ individuals in our military to serve openly without consequence.

    Credit Card Reform: The Credit Card Holders Bill of Rights issued new regulations on card companies, demanding that they increase transparency.

    Student Loans: The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act increases the amount of Pell Grants for college students.

    Tobacco Regulation: The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act gave the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate the tobacco industry.

    Food Safety: The Food Safety Modernization Act would give the Food and Drug Administration more power over food producers (passed by Senate, not yet signed into law).

    The Consumer Financial Protection Act

    Raising minimum wage

    Hate Crimes Prevention Act

    Establishing the Office of Congressional Ethics

    Pelosi is from San Francisco and never once did anything to reduce the crime, homelessness and drug use there. She never did anything for the U.S. economy or the southern border. All the she did was walk around the Capitol in circles waving her arms around like a spastic pretending to do something constructive.

    Here comes the mean spirited comments from the usual suspects on the (R) . Even though they are wrong they can't help but to put their 2 cents worth of nothing in this youtube comment section. If they had half the class and heart that former speaker John Boehner has maybe they would be more respected. Why is Nancy the first woman? Because many Republican men think a woman role is to be in the home and mouth shut. They only started to promote a few now just for political maneuvering. Thanks Madame Speaker. Your positive will out live their negative.

    IMMORTALIZING CRIMINALS!

    Why shouldn't the Constitutional Republic immortalize their criminals? After all, criminals were institutionalized by the Constitution!

    Have you ever wondered just HOW America has ended up with the caliber of civil "leaders" she has today?

    Could it have something to do with Article 6's Christian test ban by which mandatory biblical qualifications were likewise eliminated? Once adopted, it was inevitable that America would be ruled by nothing but nincompoops, scoundrels, incompetents, immoral reprobates, and outright criminals. Sound familiar?

    Take nincompoops, for example. Exodus 18:21's qualifications begin with the fear of Yahweh. Kings David and Solomon point out the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Thus, without the fear of Yahweh, you end up with, at best, nincompoops as your alleged leaders.

    The best you can ever get from the Constitutional Republic's unbiblical election system is the lessers of two evils. Sometimes, the worst of the worst. And always, the evil of two lessers.

    For more regarding Article 6's Christian test ban, see Chapter 9 "Article 6: The Supreme Law of the Land" of free online book "Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective" at Bible versus Constitution dot org. Click on the top entry on our Online Book page and scroll down to Chapter 9.
