Kamala Goes ‘Full Biden’ As Reporters Are Forced Out of FEMA Meeting – RedState– redstate.com Source Link Excerpt:
Joe Biden was hanging out at the beach over the weekend, and Kamala Harris was at swanky fundraisers in California as people were suffering from Hurricane Helene.
But then it was Kamala Harris who went to FEMA on Monday and read from a script saying they support the people who are suffering from the storm’s catastrophic effects.
She also was there apparently for a FEMA meeting. But she had nothing to say about that either. You have to check this out — can we say Joe Biden 2.0? It had everything, from the smirking, confused, and dismissive look on the face and refusing to answer any of the shouted questions — just like Joe — to the aggressive handlers pushing the press out of the room. Let’s be real: She can’t answer them without a script of talking points, and she looks like she’s in over her head.

Bipartisan group urges Congress to act on Helene disaster relief– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pleading with Congress to pass some sort of disaster relief for the agricultural sector in states ravaged by Hurricane Helene.
In a letter sent to congressional leaders Tuesday, 33 lawmakers urged the top lawmakers to pass an appropriations package “as soon as possible” to address the agricultural damage caused by the storm. The letter includes signatories from both parties, stretching across the ideological spectrum from firebrand Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) to left-wing Democrats such as Rep. Maxwell Frost (FL).
“Farmers and growers nationwide, not only those damaged by Helene, have now faced multiple growing seasons without sufficient federal support,” the lawmakers, led by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA), said in their letter. “Federal agricultural disaster is essential to help our States and our Nation recover. We urge you to work with the administration to ensure disaster relief resources are made available to our growers.”
Lawmakers left town last week and are not expected to return until after the election on Nov. 12. So far, Congress has no plans to reconvene to pass additional disaster relief.
Trump Does What the Biden-Harris Bunch Won’t Do, He’s Visiting the GOP-Voting Disaster Areas They Ignore – RedState– redstate.com Source Link Excerpt:
Former President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he will do something no high-ranking member of the Biden-Harris administration has done: visit some of the areas devastated by Hurricane Helene. On Monday, Trump will be in Valdosta, GA, to talk to recovery teams and help deliver relief supplies. Over 90% of Lowndes County, GA, for which Valdosta is the county seat, is still without power.
The fairly useless head of the Biden-Harris Federal Emergency Management Agency, longtime emergency management apparatchik Deanne Criswell, says she will get around to visiting the massive disaster area spanning four states “as soon as it is possible.” [OPINION: if you can’t be bothered to move your headquarters to the sound of the guns, maybe you should just pack your s*** and get off the battlefield.]
Somehow, Trump making political hay out of this is wrong, never mind that only weeks after his inauguration, Trump was blamed for the response to Hurricane Maria despite the years of neglect and corruption by Democrat regimes in Puerto Rico. See — Trump brings Hurricane Helene into the 2024 campaign.

It is good to see Trump will make the Biden-Harris response to the disaster, particularly in Georgia and the Carolinas, a campaign issue.
During a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Trump accused President Joe Biden of “sleeping” at his beach house in Delaware and dragged Vice President Kamala Harris for holding fundraising events in California over the weekend “when big parts of our country have been devastated by that massive hurricane.”
Biden Stayed At The Beach While Floods Hit Appalachia– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Joe Biden remained lounging at the beach this weekend while Appalachian valleys in North Carolina and Tennessee suffered deadly flooding from Hurricane Helene.
As of Sunday morning, dozens had died across the southeastern United States, but the death toll is likely to rise following the torrential downpour from the Category 4 storm that smashed into the Big Bend of Florida on Thursday.
Biden’s public schedule had him depart for Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Friday, the day after the hurricane’s initial landfall. He was initially expected to be there through late Sunday evening, but the president reportedly returned to Washington earlier on Sunday as tensions escalate in the Middle East.
Floodwaters almost completely isolated the North Carolina city of Asheville from the outside world, breaking roads and knocking out power and cell service. State officials are scrambling to airlift supplies into the region. Ryan Cole, the assistant director for emergency services in Buncombe County, said the “Biblical” flooding had wrought devastation in the area.
“You’ve heard us say, ‘catastrophic devastation within our county.’ I would go a little bit further and say we have Biblical devastation through the county,” Cole told reporters Saturday. “We’ve had Biblical flooding here, and it has been extremely significant.”
🚨 Asheville and Western North Carolina are UNDERWATER.

Biden and Harris’ Response to Hurricane Helene Is Part of a Disturbing Pattern– townhall.com Source Link Excerpt:
Hurricane Helene dissipated over the weekend, but not before smashing into Florida’s Big Bend as a category four storm, inflicting “biblical” damage across the southern United States. After landfall, the heavy rains led to catastrophic flooding that’s killed almost 100 people so far. In the Newport area of Tennessee, about 60 miles outside Knoxville, residents were forced to scramble after the Waterville Dam failed.
And where’s Biden and Harris throughout this crisis? It’s part of an unseemly pattern with this administration: when disaster strikes, everyone runs away. A train derails in East Palestine, Ohio—the Biden White House drags their feet. Severe wildfires strike Maui, the deadliest in 100 years, and it takes Joe forever to get out there. Joe’s mind is applesauce. Kamala is too stupid to know what to do—and the rest of this government is stacked with incompetents and other invalids. Meanwhile, there are reports that hundreds of thousands of people in Ashville, North Carolina, could be without access to water for weeks.

Joe Biden needs lots of rest. Earning $400,000 a year as president of the United States is exhausting work.
And it’s been a rough weekend for Biden. His schedule had him starting his weekend time off at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Friday at 2:15 p.m., but it was 3:30 before his motorcade snarled local traffic on Route 1 on his way to the beach. Gaa! Late.
Then when he got to his beach house, thanks to Hurricane Helene, the sky was overcast, and the waves were really high. Don’t you hate when you go to the beach and the weather is subpar?
Meanwhile Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee were being terrorized by Helene. Flooding surged into villages and cities. Mudslides and torrents of water washed away everything in their path: homes, bridges, powerlines.
People Notice Something Peculiar About a Staged Kamala Harris ‘Briefed by FEMA’ Photo – RedState– redstate.com Source Link Excerpt:
… It is perhaps with that in mind that Harris (or her handlers) posted a photo to the Twitter machine late Sunday night showing her with her cell phone in front of her, a pen in her hand, and wearing her earbuds, looking like she was doing official work:
“I was just briefed by @FEMA_Deanne Criswell on the latest developments about the ongoing impacts of Hurricane Helene. We also discussed our Administration’s continued actions to support emergency response and recovery.
I also spoke with @NC_Governor Cooper about the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in North Carolina.
Our Administration will continue to stay in constant contact with state and local officials to ensure communities have the support and resources they need.
Doug and my thoughts are with all those who lost loved ones and those whose homes, businesses, and communities were damaged or destroyed during this disaster.”
I was just briefed by @FEMA_Deanne Criswell on the latest developments about the ongoing impacts of Hurricane Helene. We also discussed our Administration’s continued actions to support emergency response and recovery.
The covering of the “vice” part of the vice presidential seal was an interesting touch, too.
If one isn’t looking closely at the photo, though, they might miss something: the fact that it doesn’t look like her earbuds are plugged into her phone:
Also, don’t you think your advisors would tell you to make sure your earbud is plugged into your actual phone, since you don’t seem to be able to think of it when you’re staging your shots? https://t.co/VqFcWjaBVupic.twitter.com/lRtMyRvsqI
There are a couple of things that I find super-annoying about the photo. First, if she indeed really wasn’t on the phone (and FWIW she’s been known to play games with her earbuds before), it’s just more fakery on top of fakery from a candidate and team who try reinventing her as a “great leader” just about every single day.
The other thing and more importantly is that not one person in this country who is heartbroken and praying for western North Carolina families should be impressed with the photo and caption considering it was posted two days after the region got hammered by Helene and after Harris had other priorities that didn’t include expressing anything beyond the bare minimum concern for the hundreds of thousands who have been negatively impacted in my state.
Multiple U.S. states were devastated by Hurricane Helene, who hit Florida as a Category 4 Hurricane and then dumped record levels of rainfall on North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, George and the aforementioned Florida. Days later, people are still trying to piece together what happened and what’s happening, with conflicting claims the Federal government is responding “adequately” and others saying not only are they not helping, they’re threatening to arrest people who are helping.
As of October 2, 2024, the reported death toll is 100, but there are reports of 1,000 or more people missing, and that report is from North Carolina alone. Donald Trump has toured some affected areas but Biden and Harris have yet to make appearances. Whole towns are reported wiped out, but many have already pledged to rebuild.
Whistleblowers Allege FEMA Wasted Taxpayer Funds, Left Local Responders Without Deployment Orders– wltreport.com Source Link Excerpt:
According to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), whistleblowers alleged that FEMA has wasted taxpayer dollars, misappropriated funds, and left local responders without deployment orders in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
The Florida congressman described the whistleblower allegations in a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“FEMA whistleblowers allege agency misappropriated funds amid Hurricane Helene disaster, withheld pre-disaster aid, and left first responders and service members waiting in hotels without deployment orders,” Benny Johnson wrote.
BREAKING: FEMA whistleblowers allege agency misappropriated funds amid Hurricane Helene disaster, withheld pre-disaster aid, and left first responders and service members waiting in hotels without deployment orders pic.twitter.com/HFSZS6CO1o
Yesterday, you stated that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is a part of your department, “does not have enough funds to make it through the [hurricane] season.” This news comes after FEMA has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on migrants due to Border Czar Kamala Harris’ open border instead of prioritizing funding for Americans impacted by disasters.
My office has been in contact with whistleblowers in numerous emergency-management functions at the federal, state, and local levels, and they all point to the same critical mismanagement issues. FEMA has wasted taxpayer funds, misappropriated funds, and left other federal, state, and local responders without deployment orders on the ground. As reported and further confirmed by my office, hundreds, if not thousands of service members were deployed by the Department of Defense to North Carolina and have sat idle, waiting for FEMA. We have confirmed FEMA employees deployed, on the clock, awaiting orders in hotels. FEMA pre-disaster aid was withheld, exacerbating the emergency. It is also public that NGOs have purchased airline tickets for migrants through the use of FEMA funds.
FEMA Doled Out Millions Pushing ‘Equity’– www.dailysignal.com Source Link Excerpt:
DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Federal Emergency Management Agency in May 2023 launched a $12 million grant program designed to increase “equity” in disaster responses by making greater investments in communities with high concentrations of racial and sexual minorities, documents show.
FEMA’s 2023 Regional Catastrophic Preparedness Grant Program sought to disburse multimillion-dollar grants designed to bolster disaster preparedness “equity” for what it called “underserved communities,” a label later defined in grant documents as “populations sharing a particular characteristic, as well as geographic communities, who have been systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social and civic life.” Examples of these groups cited in the FEMA documents include African Americans, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, LGBTQ+ people, and people living in rural areas, among others.
“LGBTQIA people, and people who have been disadvantaged, already are struggling,” FEMA emergency management specialist Tyler Atkins said in a leaked Zoom recording that surfaced on Sunday. “They already have their own things to deal with. So, you add a disaster on top of that, it’s just compounding on itself.”

As the Biden-Harris regime continues to utterly fail Americans devastated by Hurricane Helene, their fellow citizens continue to step up to help their neighbors.
The Gateway Pundit has reported on the regime’s deliberate neglect of Hurricane Helene’s victims while passing out billions of dollars to illegal aliens straight from FEMA’s budget while offering a paltry $750 to American citizens.
Adam Smith was concerned when he was unable to contact his daughter and her mother after the hurricane. He told WRAL News that he drove 18 hours from Texas and finally reached them using a private helicopter.
After reuniting with his family, Smith organized a private helicopter mission, Savage Operations Center, to deploy privately owned helicopters and volunteer pilots to deliver aid to those trapped and isolated in the mountains of North Carolina.
Smith told WRAL News he started the operation when he couldn’t get in touch with his daughter and her mother. He drove 18 hours from Texas to find his family, ultimately getting on a private helicopter to be reunited with them.

“We didn’t answer”: DeSantis refuses to take calls from Kamala Harris as another hurricane looms– www.salon.com Source Link Excerpt:
Despite his state dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and anticipating yet another devastating storm, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won’t answer calls from Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss federal relief efforts, purportedly believing that the calls “seemed political,” NBC News reported.
“Kamala was trying to reach out, and we didn’t answer,” a DeSantis aide told the outlet.
DeSantis also missed a call from President Joe Biden because he was on a plane. He also did not attend a post-hurricane meeting held by Biden in Northern Florida, despite being invited. He has spoken with FEMA director Deanne Criswell, NBC reported.
“It’s up to him if he wants to respond to us or not,” White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press conference Monday. “But what we’re doing is we’re working with state and local officials to make sure we are ready to be there for the communities that are going to be impacted. We are doing the job.”

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is supposed to be the government’s premier emergency relief organization in times of disaster, like the situation now faced by victims of Hurricane Helene’s aftermath in North Carolina and Tennessee.
But according to the FEMA website, the agency now places higher priority on instituting Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity guidelines than on easing the suffering of Americans displaced by disaster.

THOUSANDS FEARED DEAD IN NORTH CAROLINA ALONE AFTER HELENE HITS – More than two weeks after Hurricane Helene first hit American soil, residents in North Carolina are not only still counting their dead, but they’re also still finding them, and the morgues are overrun, so family backyards are becoming graveyards.
One North Carolina official quoted by the Spectator, said, “According to folks on the ground — fire, medical, law enforcement officials — they’re way underreporting the numbers. All the morgues are full and they’ve hauled a ton [of bodies] to Greensboro. People are starting to bury them in their yards because they have no place to put them.”

FEMA’S ANTI-DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN IS DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN DENYING MILLIONS SPENT FUNDING PLANVASION – The captured anti-American Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is spreading disinformation to attack truth by calling truth a lie. The agency, through Homeland Security Secretary Alehandro Mayorkas (one of the main engineers and executioners of the illegal Plandemic campaign currently being conducted the Democratic Party) claimed they weren’t funding illegal aliens after he said “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season. We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,”
The government’s own FEMA website, however destroys their efforts to spread fake news intended to incite violence against the victims of Hurricane Helene now claiming FEMA isn’t doing anything to help them (and is actually blocking aid and relief), stating they have spent more than $1 billion funding their “Shelter and Services Program,” a program designed to fund illegal aliens’ travel to America, as well as fund their “stay.”
The purpose is as plain as the nose on your face, to fund an illegal Planvasion intended to destroy the American Republic from within. From the website:
“The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is administered by the FEMA in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). SSP provides financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The intent is to support CBP in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities.”

THANKS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FUNDING, FEMA WARNS HURRICANE FUNDS ARE TAPPED – Anti-Americanist Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas released a chilling message this week that claims FEMA’s emergency hurricane fund is tapped after Hurricane Helene. Mayorkas told reporters “We are meeting immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds.”
As Mayorkas makes this assertion, reports of FEMA spending hundreds of millions of dollars to fly illegal aliens to various parts of the country, then fund their stay, are causing Americans to question if the Harris administration intentionally denuded America’s crisis emergency fund to not only fund her planvasion, but to further sabotage America.

The ILA is reportedly asking for raises of $5 an hour, per year, which would be an immediate 12.8% pay hike on the current top pay of $39 an hour. Repeating that $5 an hour increase each year would result in raises totaling 77% during the life of the contract.
The union is also seeking a total ban on the use of automation in their industry.
In the video that’s taking the internet by storm now that the strike has begun, the Queens-born Daggett, sporting a gold chain around his neck, lays out in minute detail what will happen to the U.S. economy if the strike is allowed to linger.
When my men hit the streets from Maine to Texas, every single port locked down.
You know what’s going to happen?
I’ll tell you.
First week, be all over the news every night, boom, boom, second week.
Guys who sell cars can’t sell cars, because the cars ain’t coming in off the ships.
They get laid off.
Third week, malls are closing down.
They can’t get the goods from China.
They can’t sell clothes.
They can’t do this.
Everything in the United States comes on a ship.
They go out of business.
Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren’t coming in.
The steel’s not coming in.
The lumber’s not coming in.
They lose their job.
Everybody’s hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important our jobs are.
He’s not wrong, and he certainly doesn’t hold back when summarizing the lengths to which they will take the strike: “I will cripple you, and you have no idea what that means. Nobody does.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell suggested migrants are helping drive rising unemployment during a press conference on Wednesday.
Powell spoke to reporters after the Fed announced it would lower its federal funds rate by 0.50% following disappointing job growth in both July and August.

Texas Gov Greg Abbott blasts Biden-Harris admin for allowing migrants to be flown into the US—Elon Musk calls it ‘treason’ | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com Source Link Excerpt:
“Another reason why the crossings at the border are down is because Biden is flying them across the border and then moving them to cities across the entire United States.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott appeared on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, where he discussed the ongoing migrant crisis and its impact on US communities.
Abbott took aim at the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of illegal border crossings, dismissing its claims that the reduction in border crossings was due to federal policies. Instead, he credited Texas’ state-led initiatives, claiming they have been instrumental in reducing illegal immigration by approximately 85 percent since last year.

Pennsylvania Mother Describes Heartbreaking Impacts Of Migrant Crisis– www.louderwithcrowder.com Source Link Excerpt:
… A Pennsylvania mother described the awful impacts on her kid from leftist policies.
“My child already lost two years of school…She was supposed to go to head start and they told her she couldn’t go…because 20 immigrants came in and took her out of school!”
During the Panny D, the left pretended education was not “essential” even though they knew it was. Now, many districts are still keeping kids out of school but this time it’s because foreign nationals take priority over America’s children.
Progressive social experiments nearly always hurt kids the most, which makes it that much more evil. And don’t think this can’t happen in a town near you, because these things are becoming more prevalent.
In another instance, a mom had to keep her kid out of school because the preschool refused to “accommodate” her kid for only speaking English IN AMERICA. They demanded she supply a translator at an American school at her expense.
“They tell her that she has to hire a translator with her own money in order to send him to preschool because he’s the only student who doesn’t speak Spanish.”

Microsoft’s latest Threat Intelligence Report reveals that Russia has been targeting the Harris-Walz campaign. A report shared by Microsoft suggests that there has been a notable shift in Russian influence operations tactics reflecting the changing US political environment. Earlier in August, Microsoft had shared another report which revealed Russia and Iran targeting US presidential elections.
As per Microsoft, a Kremlin-aligned troll farm produced and disseminated two inauthentic videos, each generating millions of views. “One video depicted an attack by alleged Harris supporters on a supposed Trump rally attendee, while another used an on-screen actor to fabricate false claims about Harris’s involvement in a hit-and-run accident,” said Microsoft.
The second video was made live through a fake San Francisco media outlet, said Microsoft.
Microsoft also said that there has been a Russian hacking group that has been publishing false videos discrediting Vice President Harris. One of the videos, which was shared on X shortly after it was published to Telegram, depicted a fake New York City billboard advancing false claims about Harris’ policies. The X post received more than 100,000 views in the four hours after it was published on Telegram, said Microsoft.

New transcripts from the White House reveal that President Donald Trump directly requested more troops for January 6 but was turned down. He was apparently the only voice calling for more troops, meaning, most likely, most of the people around him were in on the true insurrection, assuring a mass mailer election, which is no election at all, was illegally certified.
President Trump’s Request for More Troops on January 6th was Denied › American Greatness– amgreatness.com Source Link Excerpt:
After years of mainstream media accusations that former President Donald Trump did nothing to protect the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, new transcripts reveal that the then-president was the only one who wanted extra security, only for his requests to be refused.
As reported by Just The News, the transcripts show that President Trump ordered officials to “do whatever it takes” to protect the Capitol on the day that the electoral votes for the 2020 election were being certified, out of fear of protests against the suspicious and probably fraudulent election results.
The transcripts were recorded during interviews with top government officials in the aftermath of January 6th by the Pentagon’s inspector general. One of the key witnesses was Mark Milley, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. During his interviews, Milley admitted that during a meeting on January 3rd, President Trump had already approved the use of the National Guard and active-duty troops to maintain law and order in the nation’s capital on the 6th.
“The President just says, ‘Hey look at this. It’s going to be a large amount of protesters coming here on the 6th, and make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event,’” Milley recalled to the inspector general. Milley then said that Christopher Miller, who was acting Secretary of Defense at the time, assured the president of security plans for that day: “Miller responds by saying, ‘Hey, we’ve got a plan, and we’ve got it covered.’ And that’s about it.”
Later in the same interview, Milley again confirmed that President Trump was the one who insisted on higher security.
“It was just what I just described, which was, ‘Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do,” Milley continued. “Just make sure it’s safe.”
However, when Miller was interviewed by the inspector general, he confessed to refusing to use additional security for fear of political repercussions.
“There was absolutely — there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period,” said Miller at the time. The former acting secretary went on to say that officials instead utilized an interagency process to come up with an alternative plan that would delegate some DC National Guard troops to the job of directing traffic, but not to actually guard the Capitol; this proposal was suggested by Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D-D.C.).
“The operational plan was this, let’s take the D.C. National Guard, keep them away from the Capitol,” Miller explained. “Let’s put — the request, it wasn’t my request, Bowser and her Metropolitan Police Department were like ‘Let’s put D.C. National Guard on traffic control points and at the Metro stations to free up credentialed law-enforcement officers that can go out and arrest people.’”
The transcripts of the interviews were released by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.). The bombshell revelations vindicate President Trump, and raise even more questions about the roles that officials like Milley, Miller, and Bowser played in the lead-up to the peaceful protest which went inside the Capitol, which has since been widely and falsely described as an “insurrection.”
Just before the Department of Justice sued Via for allegedly becoming a monopoly in the debit card market, former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had her husband Paul sell off more than $500K in Visa stocks, possibly enough as much as $1 million in stocks. The move makes it clear Pelosi is using her office to financially feather her own nest and it is perfectly legal for her and other congressmembers to do so.
Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Sold Over Half a Million in Visa Stock Before Antitrust Lawsuit › American Greatness– amgreatness.com Source Link Excerpt:
Public records prove that Paul Pelosi, the husband of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), sold over $500,000 worth of Visa stock shortly before the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced antitrust charges against the company.
According to the New York Post, Pelosi’s transaction occurred less than three months before the announcement of the federal lawsuit on Tuesday. The DOJ alleges, after an investigation over the course of several years, that Visa has become a monopoly in the debit card market. The company, the DOJ claims, has subsequently used its position of power to punish customers and businesses who use rival payment processors.
A congressional filing from July 3rd revealed that Paul Pelosi had sold about 2,000 shares of Visa, worth at least $500,000 and as much as $1 million. The disclosure form was posted on X by Christopher Josephs, a tech entrepreneur and the owner of the “Nancy Pelosi Stock Trader” account, which documents Pelosi’s various stock dealings and scrutinizes the circumstances under which certain transactions take place.
