And indeed we have to give her credit for her accomplishments.
- First Woman Speaker of the House, arguably one of the most powerful political positions in the free world.
- Leading Democratic Fundraiser
- Record breaking number of Legislative Vote Victories
- She wields the power to set the legislative agenda for the US Congress.
- She awards prime committee leadership positions.
- She even possesses the ability to block the efforts of even the President to carry out their political agenda through her Power over the Purse, as the US Congress has always retained final decision over whether any programs promoted by the President would actually be paid for, and thus become a reality.
Plus she is on record as being one of the richest politicians in power.
- She is reported the possessor of over 800 million dollars in personal wealth.
- The majority through stock investments
- Her stock picking success is said to be higher then that of the famous billionaire Warren Buffet.
Giving credit, where credit is due, she is very good at her job.
Covid: Nancy Pelosi tested positive last week.
First, she tested positive for Covid, and because she is older then 80, people are of course concerned about her health.
- Although it is reported that she both vaccinated and boosted.
- She is reportedly asymptomatic
- Medical experts say she is expected to have a mild illness.
Second, many people inside and outside became concerned that she could have infected the President of United States, Joe Biden,
- due to their frequent meetings and the close nature of their relationship.
- Her Spokesperson reported that she is asymptomatic.
- White House officials report the President tested negative, but his wife and her Press Secretary tested positive.

In related news: it was reported that Nancy Pelosi was under consideration for SEC Commissioner
- This news appears to have been wrong.
- As multiple reports indicate Joe Biden plans to nominate a Pelosi Staffer, not Pelosi.
- In a shrewd move US President Joe Biden has nominated one democrat and one republican to fill two SEC Commissioner positions.
Crooked Congress Persons
In other related news..Business Insider reported that 53 members of the US Congress were under investigation for insider trading.
- Nancy Pelosi is not on that list.
- Both Political Watchdog organizations and Politicians of both parties have charged each other with using knowledge gained through Congressional Oversight of important industries to invest and profit on stocks and other investments.
- This controversy reached more eyes and ears during Covid, when homebound Americans turned to stock and options trading to support their families.
- Stock picking sites began tracking the investment portfolios of Members of Congress. Which must be reported to the public by law, and many stock pickers reported financial success by copying these trades.
