Nancy Pelosi is so famously corrupt that there's an anti-corruption bill named after her: the Nancy Pelosi Act.

With all the inside knowledge that she gets from being in congress and on various committees, her husband cleans up in the stock market, heavily outpacing the S&P:

  • Stock Trading Performance: Critics point to the high returns of the Pelosis' stock portfolio, which reportedly grew by 65% to 70% in recent years, significantly outperforming the S&P 500. Some observers, including figures like Jon Stewart, have characterized this as "legal corruption" because members of Congress have access to non-public, sensitive information that can influence markets.

The Pelosis really cleaned up with the timing of their Visa stock trades:

  1. January–March 2008: Visa engages in a "full-court press" lobbying effort to stop legislation aimed at curbing "swipe fees".
  2. March 18, 2008: Visa launches its IPO, then the largest in U.S. history ($17.9 billion). Paul Pelosi purchases 5,000 shares at the $44 IPO price.
  3. March 20–25, 2008: The stock price quickly rises to $64. Paul Pelosi purchases an additional 10,000 shares at $64.
  4. June 4, 2008: Paul Pelosi purchases another 5,000 shares at $86.
  5. July 21–23, 2008: Visa’s PAC donates $1,000 to Pelosi's campaign. Two days later, Pelosi meets with Visa executives in her office.
  6. September 23, 2008: Under Pelosi's leadership, the House passes the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights, though critics note that other "swipe fee" regulations more damaging to Visa were delayed or never reached a floor vote.
  7. 2009 Annual Performance: Visa stock showed a strong positive return in 2009, with some sources listing an annual performance increase of over 60% 

"💰💰Thank you Nancy💰💰." - Visa

"No, thank you 💰💰💰." The Pelosis

But the Pelosis didn't just know when to buy Visa stock...

  • You got to know when to hold ‘em

    know when to fold ‘em

    know when to sell away

    and know when to keep

     

    You never count your money

    when you’re sittin’ in the congress

    there’ll be time enough for countin’

    when the stealin’s done

     

    - Nancy Pelosi, from “The Non-Gambler Chapter 1: Listen in Congress, Profit NYSEly”

 

They also knew exactly when to sell Visa stock:

  • July 1, 2024: Paul Pelosi sells 2,000 shares of Visa, valued between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
  • September 24, 2024: The Department of Justice files a major antitrust lawsuit against Visa, alleging an illegal monopoly in the debit card market. Visa’s stock price dropped following the announcement.

If you had Visa stocks, wouldn't you wanna know when they were about to be hit with a massive lawsuit?

Well, truth be told, Nancy wasn't allowed to tell you, because that's called "insider trading", and you'd go to jail if you got caught trading based on the possession of that type of information, just like Martha Stewart did. Nancy was only allowed to use that information to profit herself 🥰

 

"NOW DO ILHAN OMAR!!!!!!", you say....

Fine:

Early Career and Entry into Politics (2006–2018)
  • Initial Disclosure (2018): Upon entering Congress, OpenSecrets estimated her net worth at -$45,001.
  • Liabilities: Her early filings showed student loan debt between $15,001 and $50,000 and a car loan of $10,000 to $15,000. 
 
Wealth Surge as a Member of Congress (2019–2026)
  • Standard Salary: Since 2019, Omar has earned the standard congressional salary of $174,000 per year.
  • Book Deal (2019): She signed a memoir deal worth an estimated $100,000 to $250,000, though her agent claimed the advance went to her co-author and she has not personally profited from royalties.
  • Husband's Business Growth: The most significant jump occurred in her 2024–2025 disclosures, which showed assets between $6 million and $30 million.
    • Venture Capital: Her husband's firm, Rose Lake Capital LLC, jumped in valuation from under $1,000 in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million in 2024.
    • Winery: His winery, eStCru LLC, rose from a value of $15,000–$50,000 to $1 million–$5 million in the same period.

 

Not done yet lol....... Her winery:

  • Key Status and Operational Details
  • Business Model: A company spokesperson described eStCru as a "direct-to-consumer wine company" rather than a traditional physical winery. It operated out of a wine "collective" in Santa Rosa called Punchdown Cellars, where it processed grapes purchased from other sources.
  • Operational Status: As of late 2024, the business appears to be defunct or inactive. Its website went dark in November 2024, and social media accounts have not been updated for an extended period.
  • Controversy and Valuation: Despite its lack of physical assets and reports that it had only $650 in the bank by early 2024, Rep. Omar's 2024 financial disclosure (filed in 2025) listed the company's valuation between $1 million and $5 million. This massive jump from a previous valuation of ~$50,000 has triggered investigations by the House Oversight Committee and the Department of Justice.
  • Legal Challenges: The company has been at the centre of a lawsuit filed by D.C. restaurateur Naeem Mohd, who alleged he was defrauded after investing $300,000 based on promises of a 200% return. The suit was settled out of court.

Her "winery" is soon to be renamed "Smoke and Mirrors"

The Democrats show how to win at corruption, eh?

You do have a talent for looking at things and seeing the exact opposite of what's there in front of your own eyes.

Well they sure have had a good lesson on what they can get away with if the current clown isn't locked up the day after the next inauguration.

So you're denying all that was said about Nancy Pelosi and Ilhan Omar?

I DOUBLED my money by investing in Nvidia last year with NO INSIDE INFO.

It's not impossible to do that.

But Nancy:

  • clearly had meetings with Visa execs
  • received money from Visa,
  • she was involved in policy-making that affected the value of VISA stock
  • she was involved with legal proceedings involving VISA which affected the value of their stock
  • the purchase and sale of her Visa stocks was timed perfectly with information that was unavailable to the general public at the time, but which she was privy to from her appointments in congress

So what? Pelosi was FAR FROM the only member of Congress to trade on inside information. Plenty of RepubliCONS have done that, esp since Trump gained office and started manipulating the market with his tariffs and wars.

That's a significant part of what makes Trump the most CORRUPT POTUS EVER.

So what? Millions of people doubled their investments in recent years.

Certain specialized ETFs have shown rapid, high-level growth over the past five years, with some doubling in value.

So just ignore all the pertinent facts and come bac with a stupid response. You get top marks for that in Berkeley, but in real life you're just an 1diot.
