Nancy D’Alesandro Pelosi, the only female to have served as Speaker of the House, is the highest-ranking elected woman in U.S. history; she is second in the presidential line of succession. In her 17th term as congresswoman from California, when receiving the Speaker’s Gavel for a second time stated, “Our nation is at an historic moment …. the American people spoke and demanded a new dawn”. Being the Speaker’s honor to invite a president to deliver a ‘State of the Union’ address before Congress, Pelosi wrote to Trump delaying his address “until government has re-opened”, citing security concerns of Homeland Secretary Nielsen’s designation: as a “National Special Security Event”, requiring hundreds of (unpaid) people working on logistics. NBC aired a segment with correspondent Jacob Soboroff, standing with border officials in a huge smuggling tunnel, of which there are miles of such along the southern border. Spending billions building a wall, a 4th century solution to a 21st century challenge, is stupidity!
