Nancy Pelosi’s decline into incoherency has become a disturbing trend that should alarm every American concerned about our nation’s leadership. In a recent appearance outside a San Francisco VA hospital, Pelosi struggled to articulate her positions on critical issues. Once again, we witnessed the sad reality that she simply isn’t up for the job anymore. The left continues to prop her up, but watching her unravel only reinforces the questions about her ability to effectively represent her constituents or lead in the House of Representatives.
NANCY PELOSI: "We are hoping that we can have gender-affirming care for our trans kids."

Take her comments on gender-affirming care for transgender individuals. It’s clear she’s lost her grasp on the issue. When asked about the future of funding for this controversial treatment, Pelosi offered a response that was not only hard to follow but also exposed her fading understanding of the legislative process. How can someone who struggles to communicate clearly be expected to make decisions impacting millions of Americans?
The progressive elite love to talk about “inclusivity” and “diversity,” but they can’t hold their leaders accountable for glaring incompetence. Pelosi’s diminishing mental acuity raises important questions about the wisdom of letting octogenarians like her continue to drive policy. She’s not the only one; many on the left are way past their prime—more relics than representatives of modern America.
It’s long past time for a change. D.C. is not supposed to be a retirement home where politicians serve until they can’t string a sentence together. It’s no wonder Americans are losing faith in their government. Maybe Pelosi should follow the lead of those who recognize when it’s time to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders better equipped to meet the challenges of today.
Nancy Pelosi may want to stay in the swamp forever, but the real question is: Why let her? The answer is simple—time waits for no one, not even someone who was once the most powerful woman in Washington. The American people deserve leaders at the top of their game, not trapped in the twilight of their careers.
