President Donald Trump is launching a fresh attack on U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, calling the California Democrat a "disgusting degenerate" as he again called attention to alleged insider stock trading by the congresswoman and her husband.
"Crooked Nancy Pelosi, and her very 'interesting' husband, beat every Hedge Fund in 2024," Trump said Saturday night on Truth Social.
"In other words, these two very average 'minds' beat ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them. It's all INSIDE iNFORMATION! Is anybody looking into this???"
"She is a disgusting degenerate, who Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???"
This isn't the first time Trump is shining the light on Pelosi's Wall Street acumen.
On July 30, as WorldNetDaily reported, Trump said Pelosi "should be investigated" for insider trading.
"You know, Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information," Trump indcated. "She made a fortune with her husband and I think that's disgraceful."
"What I do think is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated. She has the highest return of anybody, practically, in the history of Wall Street, save a few. How did that happen?
"She knows exactly what's gonna happen, what's gonna be announced. She buys stock and then the stock goes up after the announcement's made. And she ought to be investigated."
Pelosi has called Trump's allegations "ridiculous."
Trump was echoing sentiments expressed by popular podcaster Joe Rogan, who indicated: "Nancy Pelosi's the head witch."
"There's like a system and they all get funded, and they all make sure that there's this kind of crooked system that will allow someone like Nancy Pelosi who – what does she make like $200,000 a year? She's worth $150 million! How the f*** did that happen?" Rogan wondered.
"If insider trading is illegal, how the f*** is it legal for her husband to make all these purchases of stock right before these giant deals came out that she negotiated? And then he gets this windfall and they get insanely wealthy! Over and over and over again!
"And there's no investigation into it, there's no talking about it. It's f***ing wild, man, It's wild sh**. And they think Putin's a mobster. What are YOU?"

Would three be better than two? While President Trump announced Friday that he'd be meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska Aug. 15, word is now coming out of the White House that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may also get an invitation.
According to NBC News, a senior U.S. official and three people briefed on the internal discussions say it is a possibility.
"It's being discussed," one of the people briefed on the discussions said. "Everyone is very hopeful that would happen."
Asked by NBC whether the U.S. had officially invited Zelensky to Alaska, a senior White House official said: "The president remains open to a trilateral summit with both leaders. Right now, the White House is focusing on planning the bilateral meeting requested by President Putin."
Hope is that Trump can effect a ceasefire or end of the Ukraine-Russia war, as he has with other global conflicts during his second term in office.
If Zelensky were to travel to Alaska, it is not clear if he and Putin would ever be in the same room, one of the people briefed on the discussions said.
Putin has not agreed to a ceasefire but proposed the outlines of an agreement to end the war that would allow Russia to keep large swaths of Ukrainian territory. Zelensky said Saturday that Ukrainians "will not give their land to occupiers."
Trump Friday spoke of "some swapping of territories to the betterment of both" nations.

A judge has scolded Democrats in Fulton County, Georgia, for creating a new definition of "shall" to include that when lawmakers used that word in a law, they really meant that something should happen, or could happen, but only if the politics line up with a leftist agenda.
The fight was over the appointment of two Republican-nominated individuals to be on the county board of elections.
The law says that Democrats shall nominate two candidates, Republicans two and the county a fifth.
However, Democrats on the board of county commissioners decided they didn't like the opinions of the two Republicans nominated, so they were going to ignore the law and they told the GOP to come up with other names, names of individuals that the Democrats would like.
David Emerson, Fulton County Courts judge, demolished their ideology.
"The court … notes that the appointment statute contains no provision to support the respondents' position that it should have the power to veto any given nominee and force the county chairperson to submit other nominees. There is nothing in the statute to support the BOC theory that the county commissioners can veto the chairperson's nominees other than for failure of the nominee to meet the two qualifications and one restriction (be a county resident, be an elector, and cannot be a holder of elected office).
"The court finds that the 'shall' as used here is mandatory, and the BOC does not have discretion to disapprove an otherwise qualified nominee. The court grants the petitioner's request for a writ of mandamus directing the BOC to comply with the statute: The board shall appoint the two members as nominated by the county executive committee chairperson. Those nominees are Jason Frazier and Julie Adams."
Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who has testified as an expert on the Constitution before Congress and even represented members in court, said it was a loss for Democrats who now "have lost their effort to block two Republican commissioners from sitting on Fulton County's Board of Elections because of their political views."
He said significant was "not just the raw partisanship but the utter lack of legal authority of Democrats to refuse to recognize the duly selected GOP members."
The candidates to be put on the board now are Jason Frazier and Julie Adams.
One of the radicals opposing the Democratic process through which nominees are selected, Commissioner Marvin Arrington, had claimed, "I think the Republican party ought to take a look at their people and not nominate people that are on the far right and nominate people that are in the center."
Turley noted that, "While self-proclaimed defenders of democracy often seem to have no qualms about curtailing democratic choices from ballot cleansing to jurisdiction flight, this is particularly raw and outrageous. There is no law supporting this action and the state law is clear on the need to seat the GOP commissioners."
He said the board has two members appointed by the Democrat party, two named by the GOP, and a chief named by the Fulton commissioners.
The fight has resulted in the judge's decision that "crushed" the Democrats.
Emerson concluded Fulton County Commission did "not have the discretion to disapprove an otherwise qualified nominee."
The fight was over, Turley noted, the commissioners' demand to be allowed to "bar members based on their political views."
The Democrats, the judge pointed out, were claiming, "the 'shall' is not mandatory, but rather 'directory,' and that the county commissioners can exercise discretion to reject any nominee for any reason." The party members, in fact, were doing something that "harms the election process and deprives the nominating party of representation … ."

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to federalize the government of the District of Columbia after a DOGE employee was brutally attacked on the street.
In a post on TruthSocial, the president also advocated for loosening the law to allow for the prosecution of people as young as 14 as adults.
Wrote Trump: "The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these 'minors' as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.
"Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see," Trump added. "If D.C. doesn't get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore."
The post included an image of a young man "beat up by a bunch of thugs in D.C.," whom Trump later referred to as someone from DOGE. According to the Gateway Pundit, the man was DOGE team member Edward Coristine — known as "Big Balls" from the early days of DOGE under Elon Musk — allegedly beaten by eight black teens after he stopped to defend a woman who was being assaulted.
Trump referred to the incident at an event celebrating plans for the Summer Olympic Games slated for Los Angeles in 2028.

President Donald Trump on Monday went on the warpath against U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren after the Massachusetts Democrat triggered him concerning the cost of goods and services in America.
During an appearance on CNBC, Warren indicated: "Remember Donald Trump ran for office saying he would lower costs on Day One.
"Cost of groceries are up, cost of housing is up, cost of health care is up. And where is Donald Trump? He's passing a signature bill to throw people off their health care so he can do tax cuts for billionaires.
"Democrats are the people who say billionaires actually should pay their fair share and that we need to focus on affordability for American families, and that's what we're out there fighting for."
In response, Trump fired his own figurative arrows at Warren on Truth Social: "In just 6 months, I cut costs, especially Energy and Taxes, Tremendously. Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warren, on CNBC, said costs have gone up. She is just angry that I blew up her terrible Presidential Campaign. Call her out!!!"
Three minutes later, he was still sending smoke signals, saying: "Elizabeth Warren is a LOSER! She lies about everything, including the fact that she is an Indian. She's NOT. She's no Pocahontas!!!"
And the president concluded by targeting the network hosting Warren, saying: "Ask Pocahontas the real questions, CNBC!!!"
Meanwhile, Warren is also making headlines by voicing her strong support for Democratic Socialist Zohran Mandani in his bid for New York City mayor, saying Mamdani does, in fact, represent the message of the Democratic Party as a whole.
"When someone stands up and says, 'I will lead this city by making it more affordable and here are my plans, real plans, plans to deliver on child care, plans to deliver on housing, plans to deliver, we're gonna experiment, we're gonna try things on groceries,' that is the Democratic message," Warren said.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is calling the Russia-collusion narrative against President Donald Trump "the single greatest hoax" in American history, and that "it meets the criminal elements of an insurrection."
"The Russia-collusion hoax against President Trump remains the single greatest hoax and the greatest assault on our democracy in the history of this country," Miller said on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel.
"It was a coup, and I'm using that term literally."
"It was a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government. A coup carried out by the intelligence apparatus of this country, by the Deep State, by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat party. The new information that has been revealed by the director of national intelligence and by the FBI eliminates any scintilla of doubt about the intention, the premeditation, the planning and orchestration of this conspiracy.
"It meets all of the criminal elements of a seditious conspiracy against the United States, it meets the criminal elements of an insurrection, it meets the criminal elements of a conspiracy against the government, and the criminal elements of a conspiracy to deprive citizens of their civil rights under color of law. One egregious felony after another."
"Because it is a conspiracy, every single individual actor is now part of that conspiracy. So that includes [John] Brennan and [James] Clapper and [James] Comey and Hillary [Clinton] and [Adam] Schiff and everybody else who knowingly and willfully perpetrated this plot, this coup, this conspiracy, this scheme against President Trump and the government of the United States, and now is the time and the hour and the moment for accountability so that we can reclaim this democracy."
Miller noted: "The cost is incalculable of having the entire security apparatus of this country focusing on the hoax instead of the real national security threats facing America. Lie after lie after lie that was told to the American people."
"The charlatans that engaged in this conduct are beneath contempt. They are without dignity and they are beyond redemption. What they have done, you can't even measure."
Miller confirmed CIA Director John Ratcliffe's assertion that there is no statute of limitations in this case.
He concluded if we have a country where we allow Deep Staters to fabricate evidence to go after their political enemies, "It will never stop, it will never desist."
"We can't have that. There must be consequences."

Revision while Joe Biden was in office found positions created overestimated by 818,000
The commissioner of Labor Statistics was fired on Friday after the agency released a dismal jobs report based on President Donald Trump's economy, a report that multiple observers said was faulty.
It was the same operation that during Joe Biden's time in the White House overestimated the number of jobs created at that time, by 818,000, and then had to admit its blunders.
"I was just informed that our Country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory," Trump announced.
"This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000.:
Trump's statement continued, "These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under 'TRUMP' despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting 'Kamala' elected – How did that work out? Jerome 'Too Late' Powell should also be put 'out to pasture.' Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
In fact, during the Biden regime, the agency had to revise its job creation numbers downward by 818,000, a massive change that had, before being corrected, implied that jobs were booming under Biden when they were not.
It was the largest downward adjustment in 15 years.
At the Gateway Pundit was the comment, "President Trump on Friday fired the Biden-appointed Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) after she 'faked' the jobs numbers before the 2024 election to try to boost Kamala Harris's chances of a victory."

President Donald Trump's effort to help the American economy, specifically the American taxpayers, has taken to new heights his anti-regulation agenda from his first term.
Then, he promised to remove two rules for every new one imposed by the government. Actually, commentator Paul Bedard in the Washington Examiner confirmed he reached the plateau of eliminating four rules for every new one.
Now that's in the distance past.
"With little fanfare, the Trump administration has gone on a regulation-cutting binge, eliminating Biden- and Obama-era rules while slashing the bureaucracy built to impose costly restrictions on Wall Street and Main Street," the report said.
"Early indications from a key regulation watcher confirm that President Donald Trump is not just making good on a campaign promise to cut 10 regulations for every new one his team proposes, but has also paused issuing new regulations."
The confirmation comes from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which monitors that paperwork and its impact on American industry, American consumers, American business.
Clyde Wayne Crews, a spokesman, now is calling it the "Unrule."
"What we're witnessing is the rise of the 'Unrule,' a revolt against the machinery of the administrative state."
He shared with Bedard that some of the new "rules" that are appearing actually are "reversals, delays, withdrawals" of previously created mandates.
That, he said, is "a government-wide recognition that certain, perhaps most, regulations are not merely unjustified but actively harmful."
Some are huge, like the Trump administration's decision to pull back Joe Biden's Environmental Protection Agency demand for "clean" vehicles, considered unrealistic by experts.
Further, Trump's efforts have included the widely publicized effort to reduce the number of federal employees – actually eliminating the posts in which federal workers often spent their careers creating new rules.
"Agencies are being defunded, downsized, and in some cases shuttered. Guidance documents and sub-regulatory decrees — once used to bypass notice-and-comment rulemaking — are now in the crosshairs as well," explained Crews.
He said Congress, which had been urged to take these very actions, should learn.
"When the bureaucracy gets put in time out, nobody but the vast industry surrounding it misses it, and the economy, jobs, and public health and safety get a boost," he said.

Two of Barack Obama's appointees, John Brennan, who was at the CIA, and James Clapper, who was for a time the director of national intelligence, have gone public defending themselves against accusations they engaged in a "treasonous conspiracy" against then-candidate and now-President Donald Trump.
They have faced a barrage of accusations since current DNI Tulsi Gabbard and other officials in the current administration began releasing the previously secret documentation of the scheme that Democrats assembled and implemented against Trump.
It reportedly was triggered by Hillary Clinton's concern that voters knew about her scandalous behavior in putting government secrets on a private computer server in her home. Evidence shows she organized a campaign to try, falsely, to link Trump to Russia.
Documents released only this week confirm that the FBI and CIA aided in the scheme, and there's evidence that the highest officials in the country, from Obama's Oval Office on down, likely were involved.
Now Brennan and Clapper have claimed in statements they submitted to the New York Times that they rejected that they engaged in a "treasonous conspiracy" to undermine Trump.
A report at the Washington Examiner said, "While the pair admitted that some critics say the investigation could have been handled better," they claim years-long reviews have confirmed their perspective on the story.
However, there has been advice to the participants of the scheme to "lawyer up," as multiple individuals from Obama down are under congressional and Department of Justice investigation, and some already have been making arrangements with defense counsel.
The two claimed, in the Times, "That is patently false. In making those allegations, they seek to rewrite history. We want to set the record straight and, in doing so, sound a warning."
However, the reams of documents that already have been released confirm that that anti-Trump campaign was created, was implemented, and actually was intended to undermine the duly elected president of the United States.
"Clapper and Brennan also misleadingly claimed that Justice Department special counsel John Durham, who was appointed during Trump's first term, found no evidence of an 'Obama administration conspiracy against Mr. Trump.' Durham found significant wrongdoing at the start of the Russia investigation," the report charged.
They claim, still, that every "serious" review of the situation found the Russians "conducted an influence campaign intended to help Mr. Trump win the 2016 election." Actually, newly revealed documents show that the intel community found such Russian influence to be negligible and have no impact, until Obama ordered the reports rewritten, apparently using Clinton campaign propaganda, to insist that Trump was benefited.
"Clapper and Brennan also sought to defend themselves on three issues: the discredited Steele dossier, whether their intelligence assessment on Russia made a judgment about Russian interference in the election, and alleged 'collusion' between the Trump campaign and Russia," the report said.
Their written statements also ran head-first into other issues, the report said.
They claimed the Steele dossier, assembled by a former British agent, played no significant role in the intelligence assessments at the time. But the fact is documents released by CIA chief John Ratcliff and Gabbard confirm Brennan insisted that the false statements be presented with any intel assessment.
Further, they claimed there was no mention of collusion in the intel report.
However, reports at the time did "conclude that Russia aspired to help Trump win, and Gabbard and Ratcliffe have declassified records that suggest Brennan and Clapper did not have credible evidence to support that conclusion."
They claim that it now is the Trump administration that is doing a "calculated distortion of intelligence."
Ratcliffe has confirmed Brennan and Clapper could face charges.
"We're gonna continue to share the intelligence that would support the ability of our Department of Justice to make fair and just, bring fair and justice claims against those who have perpetrated this hoax against the American people and this stain on our country," he explained.
Gabbard has referred Obama and others to the DOJ for investigation and possible prosecution.
"There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Barack Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew that was false. The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact," she charged.

U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has asked the federal Office of Special Counsel for an investigation of special counsel Jack Smith, the leftist who was assigned to orchestrate a large part of the Democrats' lawfare against President Donald Trump.
His cases went away when Trump was elected to his second term, but they involved a wild range of accusations including the J6 protests at the Capitol, election actions and more.
Cotton wrote, "I write requesting the Office of Special Counsel to investigate whether Jack Smith, Special Counsel for Attorney General Merrick Garland, unlawfully took political actions to influence the 2024 election to harm then-candidate President Donald Trump. As the Office of the Special Counsel is tasked with ensuring federal employees aren't conducting partisan political activity under the guise of their federal employment, you're well situated to determine whether Smith broke the law."
His letter is to Acting Special Counsel Jamieson Greer in the United States Office of Special Counsel, where he added, "Many of Smith's legal actions seem to have no rationale except for an attempt to affect the 2024 election results—actions that would violate federal law."
A report at TownHall explained that Smith "did his best to throw President Donald Trump in federal prison during the 2024 presidential election."
He's also the man "behind the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago."
The report warned he "may soon get a taste of his own medicine."
Smith, of course, is just one of many officials from the Barack Obama and Joe Biden administrations who now is coming under investigation, by the DOJ, Congress and more, for things like the Russiagate conspiracy that apparently was sparked by Hillary Clinton and carried out on the orders of Barack Obama.
Smith left the Department of Justice in January, just days before Trump took office again.
"Special Counsel Smith pushed for an out-of-the-ordinary, rushed trial for President Trump, with jury selection to begin just two weeks before the Iowa caucuses. No other case of this magnitude and complexity would come to trial this quickly," Cotton pointed out. "Special Counsel Smith tried to bypass the normal process and go right to the Supreme Court, but gave no reason why his abnormal request should be granted. The real reason was to get a quick ruling to damage Trump before the election—a partisan, unlawful action."
Cotton pointed out Smith was not at fault alone, as one of his procedural moves came just before the election, a brief of 165 pages, four times longer than the normal limit.
"This was breathlessly covered by the press in a way to damage Trump," he said. "Why? To help Kamala and hurt Trump. There is no other reason. These actions were not standard, necessary, or justified. They were the actions of a political actor masquerading as a public official. That's why I've asked this unprecedented interference in the 2024 election be immediately investigated by OSC."
