Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in the hospital after falling downstairs while traveling in Luxembourg as a part of a bipartisan Congressional delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
For historical purposes, The Battle of the Bulge was one of the most famous battles in World War II.
It started on December 16, 1944, after Nazi German forces launched a shock attack on Allied forces in the forested Ardennes region in Belgium, Luxembourg, and France. The term “bulge” refers to the wedge Germany drove between the Allies’ lines.
The battle lasted until the Allied powers mounted a counter-offensive that forced German troops to withdraw precisely a month later.
According to her spokesperson, Ian Krager, Pelosi is receiving treatment from medical professionals in the tiny European country. He claims she can still work but will be unable to attend the remaining engagements.
He said Pelosi was honored to travel with the delegation, noting the former speaker had family members who fought in World War II, including her uncle.
lan Krager issued this statement:
“While traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation.
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals. She continues to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history. Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War Il and their role in bringing peace to Europe.
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi was personally and officially honored to travel with the distinguished delegation, many of whom had family members who fought in World War II — including her uncle, Johnny. She looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.”

According to Daily Mail sources, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi canceled the rest of her engagements scheduled on her delegation trip to Luxembourg after she fell downstairs, but her injuries are not serious.
As TGP readers know, Pelosi has had disturbing episodes that have raised serious concerns regarding her health. For years, she has been seen during press conferences and interviews not only slurring her words, but also having brain freezes.
Despite these concerns, she decided to file for re-election anyway last month.
This distressing news regarding Pelosi’s health also comes after news emerged this week that former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell sustained a fall so bad he now needs help simply walking. It’s only a matter of time before another elderly member of Congress suffers a major medical episode.
Such news should also provide a strong sense of urgency in imposing congressional term limits. Unfortunately, members of Congress want to maintain power at all costs.
