The Art of Power--#82 finished

This is Nancy Pelosi's book about her time in Washington DC as a Congressperson and Speaker in the House.  An interesting read about her accomplishments and what was going on during her time there.  It was written & published in Summer of 2024 so before Biden dropped out & then Trump re-elected so there are those stories missing from this book.  Still a lot was covered and made for interesting reading.  I wasn't a fan of her earlier, yes I was a Fox News watcher in the 1990s & into the 2000s.  I was moving away from it during the Bush years and had mixed reactions during Obama years but it was Trump that really turned me away from the Republicans and their news organizations.  I have since tried to re-think some of what I was thinking back then and while not so much changing everything, I have figured that more respect for Nancy Pelosi and what she did for the Democrats and our country was overall good.  Not the evil, devil on earth stuff you get from the right wing.

There are 13 WL for this book on PBS so I will probably mail off at some point.  I have actually gotten a few offers from PBS so mailing out some to rebuild my credits there.
