Person of the Year 2019


My vote for person of the year for 2019 would be Nancy Pelosi. A patriotic American, she stood up for our country and carefully and prudently charted a wise course through the treacherous shoals of impeachment, which process was introduced to our modern times when the Republicans engaged in tawdry political theatre by impeaching President Clinton over lying about marital infidelity.

In contrast, Speaker Pelosi, in bringing forth Articles of Impeachment against President Trump, curtailed his depredations against the constitution with his Ukrainian quid pro quo of withholding much-needed, already assigned (by Congress) military aid in exchange for political dirt on one of his opponents (Joe Biden) in the upcoming presidential election. Now that the president is engaging in missile strikes against sovereign nations in a reckless attempt to save his faux presidency, and scurrilous republicans are speciously claiming that democrats are enamored  with terrorists like Iranian General Soleimani, assassinated at the Baghdad airport, 

Speaker Pelosi had this to say about those faux "patriots," also known as GOP liars, slinging slurs so casually and contemptuously. "So, we all would die for our country, we take pride in saying that. But to kill for our country is a pretty traumatic thing. So, when we want to engage in these, whatever we want to call this that the President engaged in, you have to be really careful about how we endanger our men and women in uniform who courageously, patriotically put themselves out there to protect and defend." 

Nancy Pelosi, an American patriot and hero who will go down in history as one of the greatest House Speakers ever and a great American.
