A duck eating crow :) Speaking of crow -- I'm not real keen on the right crowing. Just give the criminals on the left incentive to cheat harder next time.




House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/nancy-pelosi) said Democrats aren’t changing course on their multitrillion-dollar agenda despite suffering a devastating loss in the Virginia gubernatorial race (https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/virginia-governor-race) Tuesday night as party negotiations continue.
Pelosi was asked Wednesday morning to weigh in on former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's loss (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mcauliffe-concedes-to-youngkin-virginia-governor-race) to Republican Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin and whether it will impact the Democratic agenda ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

House Republicans fired back in a tweet (https://twitter.com/HouseGOP/status/1455923364330184705) calling Pelosi a lame duck.
"The people REJECTED Biden and Pelosi's Far Left Socialist agenda last night," they wrote. "Pelosi is a LAME DUCK Speaker."
Democrats just weeks ago were hyping the race between McAuliffe and Youngkin as a bellwether election affirming their agenda. Vice President Kamala Harris last week declared, "What happens in Virginia will, in large part, determine what happens in 2022, 2024 and on."
"Well, the people have spoken," Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill. "We respect the results. I'm very sad – Terry McAuliffe is a great leader and he was good as governor of the state."
"Does it change the agenda for the House?" one reporter asked.
"No," Pelosi responded.
