Nan Arrives!
OK. Now what? All the dire threats from China and spineless pearl clutching from the White House did nothing to halt Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) 1045 EST arrival in Taipei. This was not to PINO Joe’s Handlers liking. Being proactive, they had Joe make the passive-aggressive statement to dissuade Nan stating, “The military thinks it’s not a good idea right now.” Not a bit surprising, considering what constitutes his military advisors. Left unsaid was why, and when a good time might be.
Hate to say, Nan is saving U.S. dignity, asserting U.S. support for the island nation, and reassuring our Pacific allies. This also bolsters Taiwan’s world presence, China’s actual source of ire.
Nancy Pelosi lands in Taiwan amid Chinese threats, military activity
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the highest-ranking US official to visit Taiwan since 1997
By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi | Fox News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has landed on the island of Taiwan after weeks of international speculation and threats of retaliation from the Chinese Communist Party.
Pelosi, who is conducting an extensive tour of multiple allied nations in Asia, has finally touched down in Taiwan despite repeated threats to the speaker’s safety.
Her plane touched down in Taiwan at approximately 10:45am EST.
Pelosi is the first House speaker to visit Taiwan since Newt Gingrich in 1997, and the Taiwanese government has been eager to host the speaker. Diplomatic trips of this level could serve to provide Taiwan legitimacy on the world stage.
China has issued stern warnings against such a visit in previous weeks, including threats from government officials and TV personalities. And President Biden revealed weeks ago that the U.S. military “thinks it’s not a good idea right now.”
Pathetic. The Speaker of the House is threatened by our greatest rival, and the administration’s milquetoast mouthpiece doesn’t want to anger China into possibly doing something.
No fan and I’m sure she has ulterior motives, but Nan is standing up while PINO Joe’s Handlers navel-gaze with thoughts of green energy.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby underscored that the decision on whether to visit the self-ruled island that China claims as its own was ultimately Pelosi’s. He noted that members of Congress have routinely visited Taiwan over the years.
Kirby said administration officials are concerned that Beijing could use the visit as an excuse to take provocative retaliatory steps, including military action such as firing missiles in the Taiwan Strait or around Taiwan, flying sorties into Taiwan’s airspace and carrying out large-scale naval exercises in the strait.
“Put simply, there is no reason for Beijing to turn a potential visit consistent with long-standing U.S. policy into some sort of crisis or use it as a pretext to increase aggressive military activity in or around the Taiwan Strait,” Kirby said.

Stand by for pissed-off Chicoms in 3… 2… 1…
Dude, they’re hardwired in the pissed-off mode.
Concur.
Emperor Bi-Dung of the District of China could lose 10 percent of something.
If she is doing anything good it is only coincidental. That old twatwaffle does not do shit for anyone other than herself and the good of the socialist democrat agenda.
I don’t disagree. A broken clock, however. . . I don’t like her or anything she stands for, but I’ve always judged politicians, ideas, and philosophy by who they piss off. (As an example, it was easy to support Trump in 2016 since he pissed off EVERYBODY.) In this case, I have no personal use for her, but if she is doing something that pisses off the CHICOMS, you know, I’m ok with that.
I’m rooting for the mosquito carrying dengue.
Go get’er, you cullcida sum’btch!
Kind’a like the old Iran-Iraq War. I hoped they both would lose.
Bingo. Or Yankees v. Mets v. asteroid.
edit: the bold texts were added upon additional consideration
They can both lose. As long as everyone has a good time, that’s what’s important here.
OPEN BAR!
I can’t help but wonder if this trip was to distract us all from her husband’s arraignment this week, and to their insider trading scandal(s).
Pretty extravagant by itself. I’ll buy a happy coincidence, though.
Political grandstanding by Gin Hag, THE most despicable, power hungry, grifting, crooked politician EVAH! Takes the headlines away from her drunk husband and gives her a chance to meet with the chip makers that will probably profit from the recently passed bill…and profit her and her husband.
Odd that Pig-O-Lousy, sniffy creepy, and chuckie had over hundred years combined trough slurping, yet they blame Trump for everything going wrong after he had 4 years of being obstructed.
PHUQUE HER!…with the Barbed Co@k of Satan.
Nan
While it is likely liquid courage it is still no surprise to see she has bigger balls than Brandon and Smiley.
Depends.
Clever title
Believe I read somewhere that she actually doesn’t drink. He, however, makes them achieve average status.
Can we pay Taiwan to keep her?
Been watching Pelosi for decades and this the first time I’ve ever supported her actions. Still can’t stand her, but, just this once, she did okay (for whatever self-serving reason, I don’t know yet).
So, what is China going to do? Pelvis just called them out, sort of. They have to do something.
The fact that the president isn’t come out swinging in the face of that threat is embarrassing and reveals the co-dependent/narcissistic relationship dems have with China.
Malig-Nancy Pelosi does nothing for anyone or anything unless she gains something from it. One of my guesses is that she’s doing it to give Joke Biteme the middle finger and say that she’s more in charge than joe Clueless is, another is that she’s lining herself up for more kickbacks to enrich herself and her family, likely both and a few other things.
Could be she’s trying to show how “presidential” she is. She’s even gone to Ukraine when #1 and #2 are MIA. She is third in line for the White House (for now), should #1 and #2 get…eliminated. I do not put her playing House of Cards behind the scenes to sneak into big seat after 25th Amendment-ing O’Biden and then using one of her numerous scandals to take out The Cackler.
Pelosi 2024?
Why is Nasty traveling on our dime anywhere?
Isn’t such a visit reserved for the Secretary Of State?
Being an attention whore, I think she ended up in the CCP’s junk email sender lists.
“Nan Arrives!‘
Damn! A golden opportunity missed!
Biden’s employer, china, told him that this was not allowed.
Xi Jin Ping is extremely nationalistic, extremely dangerous, and extremely stupid.
He is a member of China’s lost generation. The generation that shunned education and served as Mao’s instruments of terror during the cultural revolution.
Some young people in his generation were forced to do this. Xi was a willing participant.
All the education and degrees the CCP claims he has are lies. Propaganda.
With someone this stupid you have to be extremely clear on where you stand. No nuance. Pelosi is doing that.
The Biden administration on the other hand has been unclear. Biden himself has made clear statements on his support for Taiwan but the administration overall keeps pulling back and softening the position every time Biden says anything that sounds like firm or clear intent to support Taiwan.
Which is fine with a leader that understands political nuances and diplomacy. Xi is not one of those leaders.
Xi is stupid, ruthless, reckless, and incompetent.
Biden has clearly and publicly articulated on multiple occasions as president that he will violate US Law and defend Taiwan unequivocally. Despite his flunkys “walking back” his comments several times he never has said anything otherwise.
Now that Nancy is gone the heat is on.

We actually self-legislated a commitment in the Taiwan Relations Act in ’79. Spells it out over four (4) separate sentences that have to be read together for what they imply (instead of “The U.S. shall defend Taiwan if it is attacked.” directly) due to Taiwan’s part-of-China status.
That’s my point. It was written that way exactly for an idiot like Biden.
Contemporary of Saddam Hussein? We all know how diplomatic ambiguity did with him.
