Pelosi Loves the Air Force
In her own special, entitled, way of course.
Three months ago, turmoil erupted over Queen Nancy’s demand for the military to reposition her plane to fly out of Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, Calif., closer to where she had “business,” instead of San Francisco Airport/SFO (1.5 hours away). A special air missions official wrote: “We have never done this in the past. The deal is…that the Speaker shuttle is from DC to SFO and back. We will not reposition. We do not reposition for convenience even for the SECDEF. It is not [too] far of a drive from Travis to SFO. Did the escort suggest to the Speaker that this is ok? If so, I hope you guys correct them immediately. If you agree with me that I am correct, then you need to stay strong and present the facts to the Speaker’s office.”Carbon footprint? Taxpayer dollars? Such things are for the little people. Queen Pelosi has her needs, after all.Another official stated bluntly: “We can’t reposition the airplane such a short distance. It is not a judicial use of the asset. It is too expensive to operate the jet when there is truly no need to do so.”

I spent 20+ years flying in the USAF and it sounds to me like Queen Nancy’s request for the aircraft to “reposition” to Travis is a lame attempt to have the aircraft standby instead of return to Andrew AFB for additional assignments. In the usual game of Washington one-upmanship, she’d be just as important as the President would if she can force the USAF to place a jet at her exclusive disposal.
Alternatively, she’s ashamed of our military and doesn’t want her precious followers actually seeing her arrive on a military airplane. Either way, it’s educational to know how Change and Hope have made Washington a better place.
This silly little woman is now the face of the Democratic Party. Only a completely childish, narcissistic and self-absorbed little twit like Nancy would ask for something like this – and the only group of fools who’d let her get away with it is our beloved national MSM.
