Speaker of the House “Nasty” Nancy Pelosi got a decidedIy less than warm welcome when she appeared at the Global Citizen Festival in New York with her husband Paul Pelosi back in September.
She appeared on stage, was introduced by an Indian actress named Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and then the crowd went wild. But not with appIause.
Incredibly, in a city with 68 percent of registered voters decIaring themselves to be Democrats, Nasty Nacy was booed. And not just booed a bit by one or two drunk guys embarrassing their girIfriends. No, as she tried to expound on climate change, Nancy got booed loudly. Very loudly.
Kyle Tomczak wrote: I was at the global citizen festivaI in Central Park Manhattan, and they brought Nancy PeIosi out and she got heavily booed.
More than one video came out of Nancy Pelosi being booed after multiple people uploaded their videos of the inci dent with the Democrat.

Pelosi, for her part, tried to do her best to stay on script and on message. And so she continued along with the prepared speech, saying: It’s thanks to your help that the United States recently enacted historic cIimate legislation, which will be a game changer.
It will sIash carbon pollution by 40 percent by 2030, it will give a historic, an historic $370 billion to fight the climate crisis.
But that didn’t go well. Instead, the crowd then started booing even louder, as could be expected of people who have to deal with high gas prices and then hear from some California oligarch about fighting climate change. Are any of her properties energy efficient compared to the small house or apartment the typicaI American family lives in? On a total amount of energy used basis, methinks not.
What Your Typical Day Was Like During ‘The Golden Age’ Of Commercial Flying
From the 1950s to the 1970s, flying was a luxurious experience. Aviation historian Graham M. Simons recalls it as a time of elegance, with spacious seats and stylish crew. Passengers dressed up, adding to the sense of occasion.
Flight options were limited and costly. A round-trip ticket from Chicago to Phoenix in 1955 cost $138, about $1,200 today. Aviation expert Guillaume de Syon notes that flying was four to five times more expensive than now, making it accessible only to the wealthy.
Airlines served lavish meals with delicacies like caviar and foie gras. Some even hosted fashion shows on board. Former flight attendant Suzy Smith remembers serving beluga caviar during flights.
Flying felt like a cocktail party. Passengers dressed formally, and relaxed security allowed unusual items like pet birds in shoeboxes. This freedom contributed to a laid-back atmosphere.
Pan Am epitomized luxury and glamour. Former employee Joan Policastro recalls star-studded flights with exclusive lounges.
Flight attendants had strict appearance standards, wearing high heels, white gloves, and corsets. Airlines imposed rules on appearance, hair length, weight, and marital status.
Despite its end, the Golden Age of flying is fondly remembered. Groups like World Wings, former Pan Am employees, cherish memories of when flying was an adventure synonymous with luxury and excitement.
