House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, bought up to $11 million worth of Big Tech stocks in the last two months as an anti-tech package of bills makes its way through the House at the same time.In May and June, Pelosi purchased $4.8 million worth of Google shares, up to $1 million worth of Amazon call options, up to $250,000 of Apple call options, and up to $5 million of call options for Nvidia, the large semiconductor, graphics, and electronics company, according to a financial disclosure form filed last week. A call option is a financial contract that allows a buyer the right to purchase a stock or

This is one of the principal ways that Congresscritters get rich - insider information and stock manipulation.

This has been going on forever. Ordinary slobs roll the dice while connected insiders play a rigged game where they know the results ahead of time. Americans are OK with this; after all, they're making money, and money is good. FTA: "Nancy Pelosi said she was not aware of her husband's stock purchases. 'The speaker has no involvement or prior knowledge of these transactions,' Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg on Wednesday, adding that she doesn’t own any stocks."

Nancy's husband seems to be a fortune teller, as he keeps on making great stock deals weeks before the tech companies he invests in get or lose huge government contracts. Almost as good a stock trader as Hillary Clinton.

This criminal behavior is truly disgusting. Congress has changed the rules so this kind of thing is not illegal. Any one else who tries it, gets crushed. Remember Martha Stewart? I believe most of our public servants should be arrested for the things they have done in their political careers, where else but Washington DC can you go there and be of modest means and come out richer than Croesus? This is an abomination. The corruption begins at the top and should be prosecuted. However, with the judiciary as crooked as the rest of the political class, I don’t see that happening. We truly have two sets of laws, one for the elites and the other for the rest of us and that is not America. The foundational principle of us all being equal under the law is a joke and the guilty rub their corruption in our faces and laugh at us when we point it out.

Now we know how people go to Congress middle class and come out multi, multi millionaires.

If her relatives and friends were checked , you would most likely find that he husband was not the only one to use the information that Pelosi knew about. Martha Stewart went to prison for a VERY small $ amount she gained from so-called insider knowledge. *( Actually, because she lied about how she found out the info ). Members of Congress are $ multitudes beyond her.

When the politicians making policy can get rich on advanced knowledge of impending policy, only a fool would think that the incentive for putting that policy in place has anything to do with the best interests of the American people. This is perhaps above all the single fundamental flaw in our constitutional republic.

Following the unrest on January 6th, 2021, the media and their political allies set about to paint what happened as the worst thing to hit the country since the Civil War. Joe Biden bandied that line about multiple times while Nancy Pelosi feigned deep concern.The reality of the situation always made those comparisons ludicrous, including comparisons to 9/11, where 3,000 people died and terrorists literally attempted to blow up the Capitol Building. Further, there’s a fairly objective case to be made that the BLM riots of 2020 were far worse, as well, seeing dozens of deaths and billions in destruction.

Former President Donald Trump said Sunday that he has heard information that the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot and killed unarmed Jan. 6 protester Ashli Babbitt was the “head of security” for a top Democrat. Capitol Sergeant at Arms Timothy Blodgett dropped the name of the officer widely suspected of shooting Babbitt during a hearing, as was recently reported. Lt. Michael Byrd was at the door in the U.S. Capitol when the 14-year Air Force veteran was shot, Blodgett confirmed. The officer has reportedly been in hiding and under protection since that fateful day.Trump appeared Sunday on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” and was asked about January 6.

At least 58 Democratic state lawmakers plan to leave Texas and fly to Washington, D.C. to rally support for federal legislation, NBC News first reported. Most of the fleeing state lawmakers will travel on a pair of prearranged private jets, the New York Times confirmed.

As a kid back in the early 1970s, when excessive fighting almost ruined the National Hockey League, there was a running joke that went something like this: “The other night I went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out!” Today, it seems like that joke could be re-written: “The other night, I went to a protest, and a basketball game broke out!” Political activists in sports are not a new phenomenon.
