   There have been many positive effects of Donald Trump’s win in the 2024   
   presidential election. One of those is that we haven’t had to hear as   
   much toxic yammering from California Dem Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who fancies   
   herself nowadays as “Speaker Emerita” to stroke her own ego and remind   
   House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) who’s really boss.   
      
   Instead of enjoying her golden years traveling with her husband or   
   playing with her grandchildren, the 85-year-old is still desperately   
   trying to stay relevant despite the fact that Republicans hold power in   
   the House, the Senate, and the Oval Office and have strung together an   
   epic list of accomplishments while the Democrats have watched their   
   approval ratings sink ever lower.   
      
   Perhaps Pelosi hasn’t been paying attention to the news. Speaking at the   
   Voters of Tomorrow summit Friday, she predicted Democrats would take   
   back the House, the listless Jeffries would become Speaker, and voters   
   would wholeheartedly reject MAGA. Even the “whoo-hoos!” from the crowd   
   seemed uninspired:   
      
   "We have no doubt that we will win the election with the House of   
   Representatives," Pelosi said, eliciting applause from the crowd. She   
   then responded to the cheers by once again saying "No doubt."   
      
   The longtime California lawmaker also said she was confident that House   
   Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., would be speaker of the House   
   after the 2026 midterms.   
      
   Note that the chyron says “NANCY PELOSI. SHE/HER.” Seriously, you're   
   still going with that garbage? This is exactly the kind of silliness   
   that has soured so many Americans on this divisive party.

   Dems' 'Embarrassing' Failures   
      
   The “Speaker Emerita” focused, as so many Democrats do, not on their   
   failed policy ideas but on the “messaging”:   
      
   While Pelosi was confident about the Democrats’ chances, she also   
   emphasized the need for preparation. The former House speaker credited   
   early preparation for the Democrats’ victories in 2006 and 2018 to early   
   preparation, saying that 2026 could be the same.   
      
   "It's important to be strong in the year in advance, because that's when   
   the troops line up. We have our messaging, we have our mobilization, we   
   need the money to do it, but they go only next to a school to hold up   
   the most important part: the candidate," she said.   
      
   In this next clip, she prattles on about income inequality, on but it   
   comes across as hollow considering her husband Paul has made hundreds of   
   millions of dollars off stock trading with magically timed moves—while   
   she’s been in office. It’s legal, but some lawmakers think it’s   
   blatantly unethical—so much so that Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has   
   introduced the beautifully named PELOSI Act (Preventing Elected Leaders   
   from Owning Securities and Investments Act) to prevent lawmakers and   
   their spouses from trading.

   Reminder…   
      
   Nancy Pelosi outperformed Warren Buffet over the last 10 years.   
      
   Pelosi’s stock portfolio grew by 720%.   
      
   Buffett's stock portfolio grew by 185%.   
      
   Pelosi had almost 4 times the gains.   
      
   Buffett is known as one of the greatest portfolio managers of all time.   
      
   Criminal.   
      
   Pelosi obsessed over polling and vowed to bring down “what’s his   
   name’s”   
   numbers. Apparently, she doesn’t realize that she’s openly wishing that   
   bad things will happen in America so she and her cronies can get back in   
   power.   
      
   Anything is possible, and the Democrats could indeed take back the House   
   in ’26. That being said, I sure like where the Republican party is   
   sitting a lot more than the losing spiral where the Democrats   
   (deservedly) find themselves.   
      
   If the octogenarian Pelosi is still considered one of their top dogs,   
   they’ve got a steep hill to climb in regaining voter enthusiasm. This
