At the time of the above photo, she was Speaker of the House of Representatives and fourth in line to the Presidency.

She still is.

House Speaker Pelosi sits in the front row for a reason.

She is in charge of divvying up more than just America’s trillion dollar NATO funds.

The Speaker also controls how the federal budget is spent. That too is over a trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000).

She is also in charge of the U.S. Capitol Police. They report to Nancy Pelosi.

NATO’s budget is more than the budgets of 27 of its 28 member countries. The U.S. is the only NATO member with a budget over $800 million.

The U.S. has been paying from 66 to 82.5 per cent of the NATO budget since 2011.

Both slabs of pork, the U.S. and NATO’s defense budget, are courtesy of U.S. taxpayers.

Congress voted 357-22 Thursday to support NATO.

A trillion dollars to support permanent war in Europe, Asia, and Africa?

But $5 billion to build a wall on the Mexican border to protect American citizens?

Five billion dollars is .005 of a trillion dollars. Or half a penny on a dollar.

No way.
