The Empress Dowager Speaks

My chief takeaway from the photo above is that Judy Woodruff, 77, has a much better plastic surgeon than Nanxy Pelosi, 84, but I doubt if either lady has had her last visit to the face doctor. It used to be that refusal to acknowledge the pasaage of time was thought to be a character defect, but apparently no more. I used to watch The PBS News Hour, and I thought Judy Woodruff looked cadaverous 25 years ago, but that's been fixed. Nevertheless, the problem I see is that Speaker Emerita Pelosi is still running the world, or at least, she thinks she is.

Her remarks came during an interview with Woodruff at last week's Democrat comvention, which she probably gave after more than a few sips of wine. Via The Gateway Pundit:

“I made a prediction today to Al Hunt [Woodruff's husband and media heavyweight] , that would be. He said maybe you can win 5 [House seats]. I said, I want 10. He said, Is that your prediction? I said, I want 10 at least. We want 31 when we won and win. Now remember, in the last election they said we were going to lose 30 or 40 seats. What? I, they didn’t know what they were talking about. We would, we know our, we’re different from the president. We’re very discreet. Reptilian. Cold blooded. These are the races we have to win. Others are winning the whole country. 10.”

This comes in the wake of Nancy claiming credit for pushing Joe Biden out as a presidential candidate, so that would add some credibility to her implication here that she's the one who's actually runnng the world. But wait a mpoment. She didn't just start running the world when she decided Joe needed to go -- if she was running the world in 2024, she was running it in 2020, when she put Joe in. And she was running the world just the month before in 2024, even as of June 5, when

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday joined a chorus of Democrats rallying to President Biden’s defense after the Wall Street Journal published a report casting doubt on the president’s mental acuity and performance in private meetings.

Pelosi, in a statement on the social platform X, criticized the reporting for glossing over Democrats’ accounts of their interactions with the president and, instead, focusing on “attacks by Republicans.”

This, of course, was before the June 27 debate, the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump, and the successful Republican convention, which apparently forced her to recalibrate. But let's consider, in the interview above, she clearly takes credit for limiting Republican gains in 2022, so we must assume she was running the world then as well. So who decided it was a good idea to let Joe run for reelection in 2023? It must have been with her approval.

But she was Speaker from 2007 to 2023, with a gap of eight years between 2011 and 2019, when she was nevertheless House minority leader. She was probably running the world then, too, and I've got to assume she greenlighted Hillary's run in 2016, when she must have felt, along with everyone else, that Hillary was a sure thing. Hillary should have been running for reelection in 2020, right? There should have been no need for Joe to bother his head about running for president ever, leaving 2020 aside.

In fact, Joe was a Plan B forced on Nancy and the lizard people when Hillary lost in 2016, and it looks to me as though there was never a good plan for the Democrat future after Hillary lost and Joe just squeaked by in 2020. Let's face it, the insiders apparently knew all along that Joe couldn't make it to the 2024 election, and they never came up with a plan to deal with it -- not until July of 2024, when the plan turned out fo be Kamala at the last minute.

If Nancy's version of her discreet, reptilian, cold-blooded administration of rhe world during her tenure as Empress Dowager that she gave in the Woodruff interview is accurate, she's captivated by delusions of her own competence, and this delusion of competence has culminated in the last-minute designation of Kamala Harris as the Democrat candidate this year, with her running mate, Tim Walz.

Look at the smugly adoring glance Judy Woodruff gives Nancy in the photo above. They're still running the world, at least in their own minds. When I was a lot younger, I used to hear wise people say to be careful of people who refuse to acknowledge the passage of time. They had a point. But I have another question -- why haven't the lizard people stepped in? Yeah, Joe needed to go, but that waa back in 2023, and Nancy didn't take care of it then. Seems to me that Nancy needs to go now.
