Pelosi has her wings clipped for excessive spending...
You can't do this to me.

It appears that “Smilin’” Nancy Pelosi, the House Minority Leader, will have to pay her own way back and forth to her home state of California. The Air Force took her jet away from her.
It’s about time taxpayers won a battle for once with an overzealous politician spending our money like a drunken sailor.
As verified by Snopes, the real reason that Nancy Pelosi is considering retiring is that they took her jet away. Really!
As a result of a Judicial Watch filing under the Freedom of Information Act, the USAF released documents detailing House Speaker Pelosi's use of United States Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010. The data are published in the Judicial Watch Verdict of December 2010, Volume 16, Issue 12.
Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep in mind that all the data below relate to United States Air Force aircraft used by one woman over a 16-month period.
Several of these flights included Ms. Pelosi's guests, such as grown children, grandchildren, various in-laws, friends and hangers-on. Over 95% of the trips were between the West Coast and Washington DC , for what you might call a commute between home and the office.
Sure.
Total trips: 85 over a 68 week period, or 1.25 average trips per week.
Total mileage: 206,264 miles, or 2,427 average miles per trip.
Total flying time: 428.6 hours, or an average of 5 hours per trip.
Cost to the taxpayers: $2,100,744, or $27,715 per trip, or $1,285,162 per
year!

Here’s the best part taxpayer:
Cost of in-flight food and alcohol: $101,429; $1,193 per trip; $62,051 per year.
On one junket to Baghdad , according to the Air Force report, she had the
aircraft bar stocked with Johnny Walker Red Scotch, Grey Goose Vodka, E&J
Brandy, Bailey's Irish Cream, Maker's Mark Whiskey, Courvoisier Cognac,
Bacardi Rum, Jim Beam Whiskey, Beefeater Gin, Dewar's Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Jack Daniels Whiskey, Corona Beer and several varieties of wine.

This was obviously to make a toast to that long gone dictator with similar tastes, Saddam Hussein.
Evidence generally speaks for itself, and in Ms. Pelosi's case it speaks the language of abuse and (evidently) a serious drinking problem. In a single year, she and her spawn drank an amount in excess of the net income of the average employed American. When she said, "... If the stimulus doesn't pass, five hundred million people might lose their jobs...", we all thought she was unintentionally revealing her ignorance.
Now it just appears she was under the influence.
From now on, the former Speaker can fly commercial like the rest of us and pay $7 a bottle for her hooch. Hopefully she can save the taxpayer further dollars by flying Southwest. They carry her bags free.
Any wonder why Americans hold Congress in such low regard?

Took her jet away? Why didn't they lock her up or put her in a mental institution or crash the jet with her on it?
Add to the above factual findings, my grievances against Democrat attitudes and behaviours such as:
Nancy Pelosi's immortal words in regard to the ACA, "we'll just have to pass it (Obamacare), to find out what's in it". I seriously doubt any of 'them' read the 2700 pages of the PPACA.
Then there is CA. Senator Barbara Boxer, who is on record for admitting knowing the IRS is a fraudulent operation, yet is powerless/unwilling to attempt to change this, or she might be systematically de-throned.
Be reminded that CA. Senator Dianne Feinstein, is wholeheartedly committed to removing our rights to bear arms, anywhere and everywhere the NWO would like.
Also, CA. Governor Jerry Brown saw fit to misappropiate funds awarded to California homeowners victimized in the intentional foreclosure era, and instead of applying the funds for their help and benefit, placed those funds into the 'general fund' of the state.
This accomplished with the help of one CA. Attorney General Ms. Kamala Harris, who conveniently had a blind eye to the governor's stewardship, or lack thereof.
Could that then have exposed HER to having received stolen property funds from her brother, involved inside Colorado, the center of mortgage fraud operation, that also included foreclosed homes in California?
I await the truth to be revealed about the deliberate manufactured real estate/mortgage meltdown by all the guilty banksters and politicians. They have ruined the country, in more ways than one.
Ms. Harris would like to run for senator in CA., eventually.
We must not permit this until we first expose everyone's participation in the housing/financial fraud crisis.
Last, but not least, among our Democrat female royalty....
The academy award goes to Hillary Clinton and her eternal epitaph, "At this point, what difference does it really make?"
A few months ago, a section of the congressional record was posted on this blog I believe,
showing the names of who signed the onorous NDAA bill;
most, if not all, of our Democrat FREINDS signed said bill.
Being fair and clear, there are abuses of position within all the camps.
It's just that, at this point, 'IT' really does make a difference.
Out with the old, in with the new...
I'm sure we can correct and save the concept of the country.
If not, it goes down like the 'Titanic', with no lifeboats for those in opposition
To A New Republic!
A beautiful Exposé of this terrible Woman!!! Such Misuse!
