House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is set to visit the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone in South Korea as part of her high-profile Asia trip this week, according to reports. Pelosi arrived in South Korea late Wednesday and is scheduled to visit the area that borders North Korea, according to Agence France-Presse, making her the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the area since former President Donald Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in 2019. “We also say to you that friendship and the relationship that began from urgency and security, many years ago, has become the warmest of friendships.

Comments:

Will the Biden Administration oppose this move as well? I guess this is what happens when the grown-ups are in charge.

Would someone please wrap her up as a "gift" to the North Korean people and walk her across?

There has to be a sinister motive for a person that’s projected to lose their job in a few months to do these events at this time. Aspiring to be the first female President when Joe and Kamala get fired? Sewing up more personal capital? Something just seems out of whack.

Pelosi and her overseas shopping trips. She first pulled this stunt in 2008 with her visit to Syria--without the blessing of then-President Bush. It was her middle finger to his foreign policy at the time. Fast forward to now. Pelosi visits Taiwan and now S. Korea. This time with the tacit consent of Biden. Why would she do that? She is neither SECSTATE nor an ambassador. She is a Congress-critter from California (who happens to be Speaker of the House). Pelosi may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but she is a shrewd political operator. Biden is viewed by most (if not all) foreign state actors and observers as cognitively delinquent, incompetent, corrupt, senile, and ultimately weak. Biden's days occupying the White House are numbered. He will not complete a full term. Kamala is no better, if not worse, than Biden. She will probably fold as well. Pelosi knows this. As Speaker, she is third in line for the Presidency. What better way to build up your diplomatic bona fides than go overseas to areas that draws the ire of our enemies? She's pulling the same tactic that she did in 2008. This time, Pelosi knows the probability of gaining the Oval Office is much higher. But Pelosi needs to act soon before she loses the Speakership in January 2023. Will it work? Time will tell. If anything, Pelosi even scheming this is probably driving Hillary crazy.

I share #2’s skepticism about this trip. I have yet to hear from anyone the purpose of this trip. Considering the way she was treated it almost seems like a pre-inauguration visit. What’s going on in that diabolical mind of hers??

Aside from causing a crisis by bopping over to Taiwan a great taxpayer expense, what did she accomplish for us? Nada, right? But, she got some good stock tips I am sure.

Do you expect a photo op of ol' Nance looking at North Korea with binoculars? Just like the photo op of BJC .....yeah, the photo where BJC was pretending to look at North Korea. He could not see North Korea because the lens covers were still on the binoculars.

Wow, all this choreographed liberal drama to demonstrate that this administration is composed of really solid, tough-as-nails patriots who won't take any garbage from anyone on the international stage. They use the media to create near hysteria and whip up anxiety about Pelosi's safety when in fact the timing of her Taiwan trip was specifically planned to occur DURING the Chinese scheduled war games---so she could "look" like a gutsy solo female taking on the entire Chinese military.Dropping in at the North Korean DMZ is just another staged event portray Biden as the alpha male he isn't. The Demos must have some serious focus-group data indicating that one of their major weaknesses is that they are perceived as weak? Or something.

When was the last time she visited the American/Mexican border? The dems thought allowing the influx of illegals to waltz or the most popular Mexican dance is, La Cucaracha. I wish she'd join her husband in prison. Sad part is he'll probably not spend a day behind bars.

Taiwan has issued a chilling assessment of China's explosive military tests held around the island this week. Taiwan said Saturday that China’s military drills appear to simulate an attack on the self-ruled island, after multiple Chinese warships and aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan’s armed forces issued an alert, dispatched air and naval patrols around the island, and activated land-based missile systems in response to the Chinese exercises, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said. The island's leadership also announced it detected four unmanned aerial vehicles flying in the vicinity of the offshore county of Kinmen on Friday night and fired warning flares in response.

Friends and family arrived for a graduation in May at the University of Denver. We forgot to warn them. Once a cosmopolitan utopia of clean, safe, family-friendly neighborhoods and parks, Denver now looks and feels like a drug orgy. The stench of marijuana wafts through neighborhoods where a small percentage of family dwellings have transitioned into pot farms. Walking through much of Denver and other Colorado cities, one becomes accustomed to stepping over and around growing numbers of full-time drug users living on sidewalks, parks, medians, and lawns. The broad-based degradation started when voters approved Amendment 64 in 2012,

Bruce Springsteen has been a wealthy man for a very long time. In 1973 he released his second album, The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle which featured the classic song, Rosalita. Toward the end of the song’s tale about budding romance and the reluctance of a young woman’s father to accept her suitor, Springsteen explains, “And the record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance!” We bet they did Bruce. Just two years later, Springsteen burst into superstardom in 1975 with his blockbuster album Born to Run, which resulted in him being one of the first entertainers ever to be featured on
RNC to stop covering Trump legal bills

The Republican National Committee will stop covering former President Donald Trump's legal bills if he announces a presidential bid for 2024 too soon, according to reports. The RNC has paid almost $2 million in legal fees for the former president as he faces different investigations into his financial dealings and conduct during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, a committee official told ABC News. However, those payments will end soon after Trump announces a reelection bid because of the RNC’s policies on maintaining neutrality in elections — meaning if the former president announces a bid too soon, the RNC could stop contributing to his legal costs.

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo is set to join NewsNation as a prime-time host beginning this fall. The hire was revealed as Cuomo appeared for an interview with NewsNation on Tuesday, his first television appearance since he was fired from CNN last year for his role in helping his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, combat sexual misconduct allegations. "I want to build something special here," Cuomo said, adding that he does not think he cannot go back to what people see as the "big game" and touted a need for "insurgent media."

There is a multitude of remedies for digging an economy out of a recession or avoiding an economic recession altogether. There tends to be, however, a common thread amongst each of these methods. Since conditions that drive a recession typically emerge over long periods of time, it generally takes a comparable amount of time for our government officials and the Federal Reserve to correct our collective course. If our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is lagging due to certain contributors, for instance, an injection of cash into the economy via government spending can jump-start our economy and push GDP growth back to the positive side of the ledger.

Delaware State Police considered Hunter Biden the victim in an October 2018 incident in which his handgun was discarded in a grocery store trashcan near a Delaware high school, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation into the incident. No arrests were made as a result of the incident because Hunter declined to press charges against his sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, the source said. Hallie, who was in a tumultuous relationship with Hunter at the time, took Hunter's gun from his car on Oct. 23, 2018, wrapped it in a shopping bag, and threw it in a trashcan outside a

A progressive movement to install liberal activists in district attorney's offices across the country is beginning to backfire, with voters in some cities reconsidering their choices and Republicans in others organizing ahead of the next election . Liberal billionaire George Soros has sunk millions of dollars over the past several years into boosting candidates that have advocated reforms such as ending cash bail, barring prosecutions of minors as adults, and declining to bring cases against a host of less serious, but frequently disruptive, violations of the law. Some of the candidates he helped install have presided over severe increases in violence.

We have heard it before, “No, Hollywood is not responsible for America’s unique gun culture.” This is often followed by a “gun grab” narrative. Of course, Hollyweird wants you to believe this – they have a financial interest in doing so. Others would disagree. Finally, we have one Hollyweird celebrity willing to come out and say so publicly. A recent “Real Time” with Bill Maher’s monologue gave a scathing indictment that Hollyweird has a significant responsibility regarding the cause of gun violence in America. Below are some excerpts from Mahar’s monologue. “When liberals scream do something after a mass shooting, why aren’t we also dealing

Senate Republicans may yet sink House-passed legislation that would essentially codify federal same-sex marriage rights granted by the Supreme Court in 2015. But that was far from certain Wednesday as the Senate began informally considering the Respect for Marriage Act, which cleared the House 24 hours earlier with unanimous Democratic support and 47 out of 204 available Republican votes. There immediately appeared to be four GOP votes for the bill, while several other Senate Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, were noncommittal.

For many of us, we never particularly cared for Curt Schilling during his MLB playing days. Schilling played for five different teams – including the much-despised Red Sox and Phillies – and was considered a staff ace for most of his career. Yet while many of us rooted against Schilling and his teams, very few of us ever questioned his skills or tenacity; see Schilling’s 2004 ‘bloody sock’ incident for reference. If we’re being honest, most of us would have loved to have him pitching for our team. During his career, Schilling was famous as a ballplayer and nothing else. If he ever weighed in on political

When WNBA star Brittney Griner was convicted on drug charges Thursday, she was not merely sentenced to nine years in a normal jail or prison. She was given time in a Russian penal colony, which is quite different than a normal correctional facility. Russia's penal colonies are descendants of the notorious Soviet-era gulags where prisoners have been subjected to harsh treatment and poor conditions. Prisoners in the system have been beaten by other inmates, endured torture and forced to watch Russian propaganda for hours every day in what's known as "awareness raising." Following several days of Griner's trial, which stemmed

In February, American basketball star Brittney Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport after attempting to bring cannabis oil into the country, which is illegal according to Russian law. In the almost six months since being apprehended, Griner has lingered in a less-than-comfortable prison cell. On Thursday, the legal proceedings of the case came to a close when a Russian court delivered a guilty verdict, followed by a harsh sentence of nine years behind bars. None of Thursday’s developments should have come as a surprise to anyone. As we’ve noted before, 99% of all Russian prosecutions end with a guilty verdict, and with a maximum available sentence of ten years,
