New in PJ Media:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Tito’s Handmade) is ostensibly a Catholic, but she doesn’t exactly wear her religion on her sleeve. Her most famous connection with her Church is her public rejection of its teaching on life issues, and her determination to protect and strengthen the “right” to commit what the ecclesiastical authorities she claims to respect say is murder. But Pelosi doesn’t hesitate to invoke her religion when it seems useful to her to do so, that is, when she thinks it can help her advance her far-Left agenda. On Tuesday, she pulled out the Gospel of Matthew to justify sending $40 billion to Ukraine during a time of steeply rising inflation, astronomical gas prices, and a baby-formula shortage.
Speaking on the House floor about the aid package for Ukraine, the superannuated hypocrite said, “So when you’re home thinking, ‘What is this all about?,’ just think about ‘When I was hungry, you fed me,’ in the Gospel of Matthew.” It was bitterly ironic to see a woman who has strenuously insisted for years that her religion had no place in her politics suddenly invoking the words of Jesus to justify her preferred public policy, but Leftist politicians have never shied away from even the most cynical and manipulative grandstanding. She clearly intended to co-opt opposition to the Ukraine aid package by portraying it as un-Christian, hoping to intimidate Christian conservatives into thinking that if they opposed it, they would be going against the very words of the Gospel itself.
Pelosi’s transparent ploy wasn’t working with at least one of those Christian conservatives. William Davis, whose Twitter bio says he is Catholic and conservative, responded trenchantly to Pelosi, “For I was a defense contractor, and you gave me even more taxpayer money.” Others pointed out that Pelosi had never sponsored a comparable payout for the hungry and homeless on the streets of her district in San Francisco.
Pelosi did, however, take recourse to the same rhetoric last October, when, during an event in San Francisco, she quoted to the city’s mayor, London Breed, the same passage in Matthew, again as she touted big-government socialist measures that have manifestly failed. “Madam Mayor, it’s always a joy to be with you while we’re talking about low-income housing, affordable housing, public housing, and the rest, and to hear you speak from your own personal experience about it. ‘When I was hungry, you fed me. When I was homeless, you gave me shelter. When I was naked, you clothed me,’” quoth Nancy. “All of those things in the Gospel of Matthew, the Mayor brings to the experience.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Republicans mock Pelosi’s religious sincerity.
It’s as if, they say, she only drags it out to shame her opponents when she can’t defend her positions with valid arguments because she has none.
Republicans should embrace the words of Christ and retreat in meakness. And accept that God does not Republicans to enjoy political power until after they enter the After Life.
Hallelujah.
JOHN L SCHARF says
So, like Russia assumes, Pelosi thinks Ukraine is hungry for bullets, bombs, and missiles. They want to rename everything with George Washington on it. I suggest they rename Washington, DC “Denver.”
If you study Democrats, the moving of lips is an indication of lying.They create&govern disinformation.
Democrats are superspreaders of alethophobia,eleutherophobia&phronemophobia. Masks&vaccines do not protect you from Democrats
Don McKellar says
The old witch who has no problem with late term abortion, long after there is a viable, survivable human being, to be ripped from the mother’s womb and murdered as it struggles for life. Nor does she care about the child trafficking and sex slaves coming through the southern border. Nor dozens of other heinous acts of evil. It’s always about power and money, and trying to invoke Christian morality to achieve those things when convenient is par for the course for the left-fascists of the Democrat party.
mortimer says
Most countries in the world allow only first trimester abortions. Few have abortion on demand. There is no ‘right’ to abortion in natural law, in revelation or in the US constitution. A murder based on convenience is still a murder. I don’t have a right to murder my old parents either, merely because it would be convenient for me to inherit all their stuff.
Pelosi should also read and ponder Luke 17.2 : It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
mortimer says
The Dems are FOR an invasion at the US border, but AGAINST an invasion at the Ukrainian border.
Hypocrites.

Yes, the Russians should not be fighting to keep Ukraine from becoming a member of NATO. In fact, they should actually be trying to get Ukraine to become the 51st state of the U.S. If Ukraine were part of the U.S. Russians would be free to cross the border into Ukraine at any time and do whatever they want. The U.S. would feed, cloth and house them, pay for their medical care and the education of their children and even let them vote in elections. This war is so ridiculous.

Why can’t they just get to the Bering Straits coast, build a bridge and cross into Alaska? They can settle there, and get all the welfare they want

We do, after all, have an international border between Big and Little Diomede Islands between the Chukhotskaya Krai and Alaska.

Because they are not as smart as you and me?

In Nancy Pelosi’s world Christ fed the hungry by handing people $20 apiece and telling them to go buy a Big Mac and fries. But Nancy, what would Jesus do about the baby formula shortage currently facing the U.S? Oh yeah, in Nancy Pelosi’s world Jesus would pass a law to let babies be killed before they need to be given any food – so we won’t have any food shortages. I have learned so much from Nancy Pelosi. The woman is a genius and a saint … and really, instead of Speaker of the House she should be Pope.
Infidel says
She is a Catholic. Don’t you remember her telling James Rogan that she prays for President Trump every day, and just b’cos she would strongly speak out against him didn’t mean that she hated him, b’cos she is a Catholic
That hag can’t croak soon enough
CogitoErgoSum says
She probably prayed that God would take Trump to Purgatory for a few billions years – instead of sending him to Hell for eternity. Oh, and in my comment above I probably misrepresented Nancy’s views on Christianity. She obviously thinks that Jesus would have given people $20 apiece and told them to buy a sword …. and a bow and some arrows, and a knife, and a club …etc.
somehistory says
the lying, murderous hag, “prayed” to george floyd.
Does she not know that the verses from Matthew that she quoted…as a weapon to get her way…are to be uttered again, by Jesus Himself when He returns to Judge and “separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats”?
Jesus is going to say to the “goats” who did not “feed, shelter, clothe and see to the medical needs of his ***brothers**** who are in dire straits, “go off into destruction.”
It is to those who took care of His brothers that Jesus said, You fed me, you clothed me, you visited me in prison,”….
pelosi doesn’t even want the unborn to be cared for as she is demanding that roe be left as is so millions more babies can be murdered, experimented on and tortured before being thrown …what parts are not “harvested”…into the trash to be taken to the city dump.
pelosi should read what Jesus said to those who “stumble one of these **little ones.** ” “It would be far better to have a millstone tied around their necks and they be cast into the Sea.”
The old lying hag, no Christian is she, will “reap as she has sown.” She better begin looking for that millstone…and the Bay should suffice for a Sea.
