But she's leaving...

at a real low point for the Democrats.

And that gives me satisfaction.

It is nice and comforting to know that Nancy Pelosi's political career is ending in rejection.

She lost the speakership of the House of Representatives when the Republicans took over.

And the Democrats nationally have never looked worse in our lifetimes.

And the Democrats in the House of Representatives specifically

are somehow bungling the most reliable weapon that Democrats have had, namely a government shutdown.

It's just all flopped.

I don't want to be too triumphant here.

I wish we could be, I wish we could sincerely be more triumphant because Nancy Pelosi and the libs have notched a bunch of victories over her time in politics.

But right now, she's losing everything.

She's leaving in rejection, as is fitting, as is seemly.

Now, speaking of politicians ending their public life and their life generally, Dick Cheney died.

Woke up to that news this morning, and it's a very strange political moment.

We're in this seismic shift.

This was largely the topic of my speech at the Nixon Library last night.

And so we're in this weird moment where the left is probably going to be sorrier about Cheney's death than the right.

I'm old enough to remember when the left thought that Cheney was not merely Hitler, but actually the devil himself.

When the left thought that Cheney was significantly worse than George W. Bush, George W. Bush, whom they also compared to Hitler.
