Barge hits Pelican Island bridge; Galveston, TX.

Again; another one!

Newsweek: Barge Hits Texas Bridge Causing Oil Spill.

The barge hit the bridge at around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, The Associated Press reported, which caused a closure of the only road leading to the island.

According to the report by KHOU 11, the collision prompted a closure of both lanes of the bridge, which is the only road leading to Pelican Island. It will remain closed until it is deemed safe, the report said.

Parsing Nanny Pelosi


Did you see Nanny Pelosi this past Sunday, the 26th, on ABC's "This Weak With George Stephanopoulopopoplopolus"?

Here's a recap on the nonsense that she attempted to proffer as facts.

Pelosi, as have many other Liberals, claims that [President Donald Trump] "has put Wall Street ahead of the American people."


That's a nice sound byte that the Fakestream™ Media will be sure to broadcast, but it's a bogus accusation.

I guess every four or eight years, Wall Street, like the White House, completely and totally changes its political affiliation.

It's painfully obvious that any accusation that the interests of Wall Street are placed above those interests of Main Street wasn't whispered about during the eight years under Barack Hussein Obama.

When Obama took office, the DOW was 7,949.

At the end of the trading day of the 2017 presidential inauguration, the DOW closed at 19,827.

Why, there can only be one conclusion: Obama put Wall Street ahead of the American people.

Fills in facial wrinkles and skin crevices!

Pelosi also said that our health care costs were rising so much, to an unprecedented level eight years ago, it is the reason for passage of the Affordable Care Act, aka the atrocious and invasive "ObamaCare."

Allow me to remind everyone that the political party of "Keep Your Hands Off My Body" is now the party of "Keeping the Government's Hands All Over My Body."  THANK GOD the financial penalty for not having proof of health insurance was surgically excised by Doctor Trump.

If I understand Pelosi correctly, she's saying that our health care costs were so high prior to ACA, that the only way to reduce those costs was to spend billions, increasing the cost of health care premiums for millions of Americans and implementing one of the most onerous and invasive federal programs since the absurdly costly Socialism foisted upon the American people since FDR and LBJ.

Pelosi babbled on and on, reciting the Usual Liberal Talking Points as only a well-rehearsed Liberal magpie can do.

Among other inane rambling from this woman, who appears to have had three-too-many face lifts considering the skin across her face is stretched across her like saran wrap atop a bowl of potato salad, Pelosi said, "we must focus on rebuilding our infrastructure."

Our infrastructure needs rebuilding? I don't understand this. Upgrading our infrastructure was a MAIN FOCUS of EX-PRESIDENT Barack Hussein Obama.

Excuse me, but wasn't our infrastructure completely upgraded with all the Shovel Ready Jobs  Obama created by pushing the U.S. into trillions of dollars of debt?

Obama and his political and voting Cultists FAILED in reforming any type of health care ("If you want to keep your doctor, you can.") causing all health care costs to skyrocket for everyone.

Obama and his Cultists FAILED with flying colors in rebuilding our infrastructure.

And Wall Street? Apparently Wall Street as a non-living organism (a street does not live and breath) and the people working for Wall Street, were all Democrats for the past eight years.

The Liberal Insane Clown Posse GLOSSES over the fact that THEIR LOSING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HILLARY CLINTON LOSING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HILLARY CLINTON LOSING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HILLARY CLINTON LOSING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HILLARY CLINTON -- sorry about that, sometimes my fingers simply enjoy typing that phrase repeatedly and I can't control it.

Let's give that another try: The Liberal Insane Clown Posse GLOSSES over what a Wall Street shill they had in Hillary Clinton. Hypocrites, yet - no surprise.

As of January 20th, everyone who works in any capacity related to Wall Street - like the pod people in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" - awakens now as a greedy Republican institution when for the past eight years Wall Street must have, obviously, all been Democrats.

How does an entire industry, whose financial metrics, soared to unprecedented heights during eight years of Obama suddenly, overnight, morph into Republicans? The Answer: it doesn't. It's simply another lie told by Liberals.

Pelosi, a national "charity case."


















Pelosi's estimated net worth is $120 MILLION. 

In fact, her net worth increased 62 percent in just ONE YEAR! Wouldn't you like a net worth increase of 62 percent in one year? Who wouldn't?
Forms disclosing the assets and liabilities of lawmakers for the 2010 calendar year were released Wednesday. The forms give a good estimate of lawmaker wealth, though they show ranges and not precise values for stocks, pension plans, vacation homes and other assets of lawmakers.
Pelosi saw her wealth rise due to some stock gains.

Stocks? Pelosi owns stocks? Stocks? Stocks are related to Wall Street, aren't they?

Let us not forget about the fine imposed because of her misuse of spending of PAC money.

Nancy Pelosi does not care about working Americans, and when I use the phrase working Americans I'm talking about anyone whose yearly salary is anywhere between $12,000 to $100,000.

The most recently available median salary for the U.S. is $55,775.

Pelosi does not identify with working Americans, she never will...she can't. She is a talking bobble-head whose purpose is only to further Liberalism. She is losing the fight and her fellow Uber Liberals are apoplectic that their political agenda is dying and life support...well, life support isn't looking so good for them now. And that's a good thing.

To Trump: Infrastructure of China wins "hands down" over U.S.

From China's The People's Daily:
When it comes to infrastructure, China wins hands down. “China spends more on economic infrastructure annually than North America and Western Europe combined,” according to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute. Kingston University Professor of Economics Steve Keen told People’s Daily Online that Trump could learn a lot from China about infrastructure. “America lacks the capacity to plan and carry out large-scale projects, because the expertise needed to expand infrastructure has been lost.”
I disagree.  The expertise has not been lost.  It's been suffocated to a much less degree of activity due to government over-regulation and over-stepping its role.
