Biden parting gift to Pelosi Ban stock trades by congress critters, the most notorious is Pelosi.

The Vigilant Fox 🦊

@VigilantFox
REPORT: Joe Biden is now seeking REVENGE on Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the coup leaders.

With Nancy stuck in the hospital recovering from a broken hip, Biden is floating the idea of BANNING members of Congress from trading stocks while in office.

He stated, “I think we should be changing the law that we have to abide by at the federal level—that nobody, nobody in the Congress should be able to make money in the stock market while they’re in the Congress.”

But
@JesseBWatters
isn't buying Biden’s timing. He reported:

“Biden didn’t want to ban Congress from insider trading during his entire 50-year career in D.C., but a month before he leaves, he gives Nancy a little gift. This isn’t about stopping corruption. It’s about getting retribution.”

“So if Nancy wants to get rich in the House, she might have to do it the old-fashioned way, peddling influence like the Big Guy.”



Nancy Pelosi has a tracker on X . Investors copy her trade options and invest in it. Some of her mind blowing investments are said to come from insider knowledge.

https://x.com/pelositracker_

In June and July, Pelosi purchased 20,000 shares of Nvidia. In November 2023, she purchased 50 Nvidia call options with a strike price of $120 and an expiration date of Dec. 20, 2024. Nvidia was the top-performing stock in the S&P 500 in 2023 and is the index's second top performer so far in 2024. Nvidia shares are up 188% since she purchased her

In June, Pelosi purchased 20 Broadcom call options with an $800 strike price expiring in June 2025. Broadcom underwent a 10-for-1 stock split in July, so the adjusted strike price on those call options is now $80


Ijebos do your excel sheets analyze Pelosi investments ,I doubt you was aware of how savvy she is, copy her and you can gloat all day here .
I'm not mean like you ghosting your girlfriend you see. I am sharing this little gem to help you maybe get and raise a family.

Trump will ban abortions blah blah blah.

According to Sen. Josh Hawley, Kennedy plans to facilitate the return of popular Trump-era protections like a prohibition on taxpayer-funded abortions at home and abroad and a gag rule requiring institutions that receive Title X funding, like Planned Parenthood, to separate their medical care from their abortion activities. Kennedy also reportedly promised that the conscience protections the Biden administration worked overtime to undo would be restored.

Perhaps the most important commitment Kennedy made to Hawley is that “all of his deputies at HHS would be prolife.” As Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins



Trump must be stopped 😊😊😊😊

you really think the guy knows what double jeopardy is?
I know exactly what it is. Kim Foxx got him to do community service and a small fine because... She had the power to.
After the outrage he went through a court process which determined his guilt in staging the hoax and lying to investigators. His hoax could have been a catalyst of MAGA supporters being lynched in the streets as revenge.It was no laughing matter.
I guess you would gleefully buy popcorn as people are lynched in the streets from the lies of a bloody f-aggot.
Kim Foxx initial handling of the case was despicable to say the least and in a truly just society she should have served his term instead.

Really? angry After all the supposed shenanigans of DA Kim Foxx?

Basilico, you must go and fire the judge that freed Jussie, and fire the DA that failed to have Jussie convicted, and even his lawyer that got his conviction overturned and the jury that let him go free as a bird, and you should start a new case against Jussie where you are the judge and the DA and Jussies's lawyer, and make sure you are the only juror too so you can find Jussie guilty so you can throw his Jussie ass in jail.

Also consider being the judge and the DA and the jury and Chauvin's lawyer too so you can free Chauvin too please.
Hunter Biden also got a sweetheart deal that a judge refused , doesn't matter Joe issued him a blanket pardon later.
Prosecutors have a wide discretion when it comes to who to charge and why.
Alvin Bragg dropped an ongoing Trump investigation when he got sworn in, several prosecutors resigned in protest. Later when Michael Colengalo left 4th ranked DOJ position as Deputy Assistant AG to be under Bragg , the case proceeded to conviction.

Prosecutors can use their powers for good or for bad

Hint. Don't forget that name Michael Colengalo, it will be reappearing in a few months. Of course negatively.

Jussie had met with Kamala a few weeks earlier, who managed to push a bill in Senate after the hoax. Mitchell Obama also weighed in during initial investigations
Jussie was found guilty after trial ,a technicality created by the actions of Kim Foxx allowed him to go free in the end.

Joe Biden fired Trump appointees whether they still had terms remaining. Sean Spicer sued, the court ruled that the President has ultimate authority to fire any previous appointees whether their contract terms had expired or not.

Good . Trump will fire 4000 Biden appointees any minute he feels like.
Liberals loss. They never thought for a single moment that Trump would come back.

Trump can fire anybody he wants, thanks to Sean Spicer | Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner

President-elect Donald Trump is arriving at the White House armed with a legal weapon that will let him fire any of President Joe Biden’s appointees.

Thanks in part to a court fight former Trump White House spokesman Sean Spicer lost over his firing by Biden from a three-year term to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, the incoming president will have the legal backing to dump any of Biden’s over 4,000 appointments who try to stick around.

And the best part, Spicer told Secrets, “They’ll have no one to blame but Biden himself.”

The case dates to Sept. 8, 2021, when Biden began to fire Trump allies from the visitor boards at the academies of the Navy, the Air Force, and the Army.

Spicer and others, including Russ Vought (just picked by Trump to head the Office of Management and Budget) and former Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway, were unceremoniously dumped despite several of them having time left on their three-year terms.

Spicer and Vought sued, saying that unlike White House staff or others appointed by a prior president, they couldn’t be fired because of their congressionally mandated terms.

They lost, however, when a judge essentially ruled that the president could fire any presidential appointee, whether they had terms or not. A further effort failed, too.

Spicer said that is exactly what he hoped the courts would do because he wanted to help a future Trump presidency fire Biden’s picks without having its hands tied.

“What no one ever understood was this was not about actually getting back on the board, because my term had been expired for months. It was forcing them to argue in the affirmative that they had the ultimate authority to fire anybody at any time, which they did. And the court accepted that. So the Biden administration is now on record in court, and the court agreed that the president had absolute authority to fire anyone he wants,” Spicer said in an interview.


The gnashing and wailing has not begun yet.

Budaatum. A leaked report from a Harvard Professor on Critical Race Theory reveals he faked his data.

This was a leaked internal Harvard document—that The Daily Caller refused to publish due to the potential legal risks of Harvard suing them. So, I quit, and published it on my own.

This leaked report revealed that Ryan Enos, a tenured professor in Harvard's Department of Government, falsified data to ‘‘prove’’ his pet theory: Racial Threat Theory (RTT). RTT, which cites Claudine Gay extensively, is a branch of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and asserts that white people harbor a fear of black people. It was Enos's work on CRT and RTT that secured him tenure at Harvard


https://www.karlstack.com/p/exclusive-harvard-professor-ryan


This time it's not plagiarism but quotes Claudine Gay the shameless plagiarist and DEI ex president of Harvard whom they are still paying $1 million annually.
As an aside We are honoured to have a Harvard alumni who has never made any sensible post here. Kamala Harris drunken word salads make more sense than him.

House Ethics committee votes to release Matt Gaetz ethics report.
Hmm interesting. He is the elected congressman and could get sworn in next year,release the details of congressmen who sexually harrased staffers. Staffers paid by congress to shut up


@FmrRepMattGaetz
Someone suggested the following plan to me:

1. Show up 1/3/2025 to congress
2. Participate in Speaker election (I was elected to the 119th Congress, after all…)
3. Take the oath
4. File a privileged motion to expose every “me too” settlement paid using public funds (even of former members)
5. Resign and start my
@OANN
program at 9pm EST on January 6, 2025.


Earlier Gaetz had released this tweet concerning the allegations He was a player,he gave women a lot of money,partied a lot in his thirties. That's no crime at all

[color=#66ff00]The Biden/Garland DOJ spent years reviewing allegations that I committed various crimes.

I was charged with nothing: FULLY EXONERATED. Not even a campaign finance violation. And the people investigating me hated me.

Then, the very “witnesses” DOJ deemed not-credible were assembled by House Ethics to repeat their claims absent any cross-examination or challenge from me or my attorneys. I’ve had no chance to ever confront any accusers. I’ve never been charged. I’ve never been sued.

Instead, House Ethics will reportedly post a report online that I have no opportunity to debate or rebut as a former member of the body.

In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated - even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court - which is why no such claim was ever made in court.

My 30’s were an era of working very hard - and playing hard too.

It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now.

But at least I didn’t vote for CR’s that Bleep over the country!
[/color]

Below is report on how much the congress paid the sexually harrased staff per year. Gaetz could release details on who was involved.
They don't leak this report because it affects Democrats and Republicans.

Liz Cheney caused Peter Navarro to go to jail, Steve Bannon also went to jail just before elections.
House Committee made a criminal referral to DOJ yesterday.

The Committee’s Top Findings:

1. Former Representative Liz Cheney colluded with “star witness” Cassidy Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.

2. Former Representative Liz Cheney should be investigated for potential criminal witness tampering based on the new information about her communication.

3. Cassidy Hutchinson’s most outrageous claims lacked any evidence, and the Select Committee had knowledge that her claims were false when they publicly promoted her.

President Trump did not attack his Secret Service Detail at any time on January 6.
President Trump did not have intelligence indicating violence on the morning of January 6.
Cassidy Hutchinson falsely claimed to have drafted a handwritten note for President Trump on January 6.
Representative Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson baselessly attempted to disbar Hutchinson’s former attorney.
4. Former Representative Liz Cheney used the January 6 Select Committee as a tool to attack President Trump, at the cost of investigative integrity and Capitol security.

5. The January 6 Select Committee was improperly constituted and lacked authority.

6. The January 6 Select Committee neglected or withheld evidence from its Final Report and deleted voluminous records it should have preserved.

7. The Department of Defense scapegoated the Washington D.C. National Guard to distract blame from senior leadership


The new AG will most likely investigate the committee based on this single referral.
The truth will unfold.
What a time to be alive.
Media must be shaking in their boots. The sham committee coordinated with the media to slander Trump knowingly pushing lies and leaks . They will definitely be investigated, it was a planned takedown of a citizen by corrupt actors. The judges who officiated at some of these trials will have to be investigated also.

NEW: J6 Report Released Today shows the Acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller, IGNORED AND DISMISSED President Donald Trumps January 3, 2021, Directive to use Military Assets to Ensure the Safety of everyone on January 6
* “There was no way I was putting active military forces at the Capitol…”

WHY?
Because he didn’t want to be seen as a “Trump Crony” and provoke Civil War… and he worried about what Twitter would say.


Who believes such crap. The insurrection was a setup. Pelosi and Biden needed a riot at the Capitol so they could bury MAGA once and for all. They already had Dantuono the Washington FBI head newly promoted after the Michigan Governor kidnapping plot that was conceived, funded and pushed by the FBI only two three months earlier. Had the national guard or military been deployed at the Capitol there would have no Jan 6 riots.
They wanted it ,they set it up. Liz Cheney knew that too.

I have seen many democrat supporters here say Trump never authorized 10,000 national guards at that day. Simply because that's what Liz Cheney committee lied to the public .

You should start by googling defamation and understanding what goes into even being a successful lawsuit esp. against a Public figure. Then actually do more reading about the calculus Disney made. It wasn't a principled one. It was a business decision.

You should really understand the law in this area, the First Amendment, the purpose of the First Amendment and the consequences for what just happened before opining. Especially if you live in a country that has the potential to be repressive, like Nigeria.

Fool. They settled out of court because it was going to discovery. ABC would have had to produce all internal comms regarding the matter , it would have been revealed it was all planned out .
George stated that Trump had been found liable of rape which as a journalist was a blatant lie . He was found liable of sexual violation not rape. To make it worse he repeated the allegations.
Poor Obrigardo and democrats accused Trump of being a rapist.
Sexual harassment can be anything including staring at a woman,or bragging to her about your sexual conquests.

It was a slam dunk case that's why they settled.
EDIT: In the interview George Stephanopoulos lied 10 times about Trump being “found liable for rape” and “defaming the victim of that rape,”.

Ijebos As bystanders who can only stand in awe at those living in America this seems to have been a policy by DJ Trump but Biden revoked it because orange man bad.

Essentially, PBMs are incentivized to prescribe more expensive medicines. It’s a broken system that Trump started to fix before. In 2020, Trump introduced a policy allowing seniors to directly benefit from rebates that drug manufacturers pay to PBMs for preferential placement on insurers’ drug formularies. These rebates were intended to reduce the cost of expensive medications for seniors. Trump presented a detailed plan to deliver these savings to seniors, potentially saving them billions of dollars.

“So, the patients are going to be now getting the benefit, instead of these very wealthy individuals,” Trump said


Unfortunately, Joe Biden repealed the Trump drug rebate rule with the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, preventing those seniors most at risk from getting the savings they needed.

President Trump and his healthcare team will undoubtedly bring back the Trump Rebate Rule and massive savings for seniors. In the meantime, Speaker Johnson and Trump’s allies in Congress
