And that is why I am running for reelection to Congress." Other than Vice President Kamala Harris, no female politician in U. S. history has reached as high a rank in government.

Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, has served as a U. S. representative from California since 1987.

Apparently the band U2 has a tradition of sending over a limerick each year, and this year, the poetry harkened to the somber mood and gloom of our war-torn ...
“You are the leader of the nation, of your great nation,” Zelenskyy directed at Biden in his Congressional address. Her recitation came a mere day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared in a video feed before Congress, giving an “impassioned plea” for additional aid from the U.S. and imploring President Biden to help defend Ukraine and impose a no-fly zone. “Ukraine is a country,” says William Taylor, who served as the U. S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2006 to 2009. “It kind of denies their independence, denies their sovereignty.” They spoke of a country called The Ukraine,” Franklin Foer wrote in a February 2022 article in The Atlantic succinctly titled, “It’s Ukraine, Not The Ukraine,” which everyone involved here would have done well to read. “By appending the article to the name, they were inadvertently insulting the nation, as if Ukraine were merely a region, an object of subjection.” Happy St. Patrick’s Day, I guess.
During the White House's annual Friends Of Ireland luncheon, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delivered a striking poem by U2 frontman Bono.
Meanwhile, Bono said back in January that he dislikes U2’s name, most of their songs and his own singing voice. We stand with the people of Ukraine & their leader. The speech elicited laughs nonetheless, as Pelosi read aloud the singer and multi-instrumentalist’s rumination on the current war between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was roasted on social media after she recited what many users said was a "cringe" poem written by U2's Bono.
This poem brought the snakes back." Radio host Gerry Callahan added, "It is even worse than you imagined. You drive out those old snakes once again, and they struggle for us to be free from the psycho in this human family.”
In honour of St. Patrick's Day, Bono decided to write a poem about Ukraine. It made its way to US House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi and she read it.
"Bono has been a very Irish part of our lives,” Nancy Pelosi said before reading a poem at the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon.
Watch the video of Pelosi and read Bono’s poem in full below. The poem reads in part, “Oh St. Patrick, he drove out the snakes / With his prayers, but that’s not all it takes / For the snake symbolizes / An evil that rises / And hides in your heart / As it breaks / And the evil has risen my friends.” The U2 frontman’s poem compared the legend of St. Patrick, who drove all the snakes of Ireland into the sea, to the war in Ukraine. In Bono’s metaphor, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is St. Patrick, and Russian President Vladimir Putin represents the snakes.

We stand with the people of Ukraine & their leader. This year the limerick is irregular & not funny at all. We stand with the people of Ukraine and their leader. The whole thing is unregulated. "After that Bono thing, I think we need to bring in licenses for poem-writing. You drive out those old snakes once again, and they struggle for us to be free from the psycho in this human family.
In the poem, the U2 frontman — who is Irish — likened St. Patrick to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"Nobody is going to break us, we're strong, we're Ukrainians," he told the European Union in a speech in the early days of the fighting, adding, "Life will win over death. "Irish Americans think they're more Irish than the Irish. And — but that's kind of how I was raised, like so many Americans of Irish heritage – like other people of other heritage as well," Biden said. "The bully in the neighborhood will not prevail. "The Ukrainian people are teaching the rest of the world what freedom looks like, what freedom feels like, and most importantly what freedom acts like," the band wrote. "And the evil has risen my friends from the darkness that lives in some men. "And they struggle for us to be free, from the psycho in this human family.
