<p>Shortly after the January 6<sup>th</sup> Capitol Hill riot, a hysterical House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff General Mark Milley to express her fears that President Trump might be initiating a nuclear war with China in an attempt to stay in office.</p>



<p>The description of that phone call was apparently leaked to Bob Woodward or Robert Costa for their book, “Peril.” ; From the report, Pelosi sounds semi-rational – which is one indicator that she leaked it.</p>



<p>In that call, Pelosi was assured by Milley that Trump would not – and could not – launch the United States’ nuclear arsenal. ; Pelosi claimed that Trump is a “crazy” person in the more literal or diagnostic definition of that word. ; It is reported in the book that Milley said to Pelosi, “I agree with you completely.” ; That exchange was a front-burner report in the left-wing media for days. ; The news repeatedly reported that Milley was concerned over Trump’s mental stability.</p>



<p>Apparently, no one bothered to ask Milley about it until the recent Senate hearing. ; When he was asked, Milley gave a far different description of his phone call with the over-wrought Pelosi. ; Milley testified under oath that he told the Speaker that he was not in a position to judge Trump’s mental condition.  ; That means that he did not agree with her characterization of Trump being “crazy.” ; That is a lot different than what has been going around the Democrat echo chamber and the propaganda press. ; It is also another indication that it was Pelosi leaking.</p>



<p>BUT … that testimony did not stop the left-wing newsies from continuing to misinform. ; Both CNN and MSNBC claimed that Milley never refute ANYTHNG that was in the “Peril” book – or any of the other books for which he consented to be interviewed. ; How could he? ; Under oath, Miley testified that he had not read any of those books. ; So the claim that he did not refute anything in the book is a lie.</p>



<p>The call from Pelosi should be of concern to the public for two reasons. ; Either she is woefully ill-informed, or she set up the call – and the subsequent media reports – as a crass calculated political dirty trick.</p>



<p>Pelosi has been in Congress for 34 years. ; She has served as Speaker or Minority Leader of the house since 2007. ; And she is third in line of succession to the presidency – right behind the Vice President. ; And yet, we are to believe that she had no idea of the procedures for launching America’s nuclear weapons. ; Even I knew the general procedures from my days as a low-level staffer in the White House and my visit to NORAD, the command center for launching those atomic missiles. ; How can Pelosi not know?</p>



<p>It is a multi-stage process that requires the affirmative action of a number of people along the chain-of-command. ; No President has – or ever had – the ability to simply push a button and launch nuclear missiles. ; And that is exactly what Milley said he explained to the hyperventilating Speaker.</p>



<p>Of course – knowing Pelosi – the call may have been a staged political event to drive a false political narrative. ; If that is the case, at least she is rational – albeit disgustingly dishonest. ; ;</p>



<p>Whether she was genuinely deranged by the thought of Trump firing nuclear missiles toward the Forbidden City or she was creating a false event for political purposes, that call – and the inaccurate account in “Peril” &#8212; does not reflect well on Pelosi or the authors. ; ;</p>



<p>In the hearing, Milley made it very clear that he knew that Trump had no intention of starting a war or launching atomic missiles. ; So, why did Pelosi think otherwise? ; A little crazy, herself?</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Nancy goes nutsy?
