Well, it’s official: Nancy Pelosi has decided not to seek reelection, choosing to spend more time with the hundreds of millions she and her partner in insider trading, tipsy driver Paul, managed to pull together by outperforming every major mutual fund on the planet over the same time. She will be missed…by someone…I assume.

Not me. To hell with her. Not being in her will, I see no redeeming value in her existence one way or the other. That she will only be a Congressional pension parasite is a step in the right direction.

Though she won’t actually leave Congress until January of 2027. Have you ever known anyone to need that much runway to retire? When you have an ego that dwarfs a C-130, you need a lot of runway, it would seem.

What can we expect in the next year, as her majesty very, very slowly leaves Congress? Not much, or at least not much different.

Nancy Pelosi does not serve on any committees in the House of Representatives, a move usually reserved for punishment since that’s where non-leadership Members have any chance whatsoever to have an impact on legislation or to have moments where they can make the news in hearings. But if you’re all-powerful – the REAL leader of Democrats in the House, you don’t have to serve on any committees because they all do your bidding.

That’s the worst-kept secret in Washington, DC: Nancy Pelosi is still the leader of Democrats in the House and always will be.

She raises more money than........
