On Nov. 17, Nancy Pelosi, age 82, appeared on TV to officially announce the end of her speakership and her plans for the future. She said she will not seek any future Democratic leadership role but will remain in Congress. She was speaker of the House for 15 years, the longest serving speaker except for Sam Rayburn of Texas, who served as speaker for 17 years.

She spoke about her political future interspersed with occasional giggles like those of Vice President Kamala Harris. After her speech, nearly everyone in attendance came up to give her a departing hug. You could feel the wokeness in the air. You could feel it exuding from the TV screen. It was sickening. Nauseating, even.

The Republicans failed to achieve a “red wave” in the midterms, but at least we’re getting rid of Pelosi. Now, in the next two years, the work needs to be done to get Donald Trump installed in the White House in 2024. Oh, if only it was January 2025 and Trump was moving into the White House tomorrow.
