Paul Ryan’s Anti-Trump Agenda: New Taxes,
More Migrants, Spending Cuts

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 11/27/2022 12:35:38 PM

Former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan is offering two reasons why GOP voters should walk away from President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential primary campaign. “We want to win,” the establishment champion told ABC News’ This Week on November 20. Trump “is going to continue to lose altitude” in primary polls because “he’s unelectable because [of] that suburban voter.” The second reason offered by Ryan is his own alternative 2024 White House platform. That platform breaks from Trump’s mostly-populist policies and offers voters a series of healthcare cuts, more wage-cutting migrants, new carbon taxes, and lower taxes for corporate investors. “I have presidential-sized policy ambition, but I really don’t have presidential-sized personal ambition,” said Ryan,

What a doofus...Trump when President did more for this country than any of those damned Rinos in office and now they are trying to tell us he didn't do a good job...his words come out of his posterior....cause if he was thinking he wouldn't be saying that...more migrants, new carbon taxes, lower taxes for corporate investors....how about starting up oil production, burning Hunter and the Biteme crime family, getting democrats off of committees so they can stop hurting things?? How about those,how about the J6 PRISONERS, huh?

Doesn't the term Populist imply that things are popular with people? So, Ryan believes that populist policies AREN'T popular with people. If that's the case, then they aren't populist. The hard road here is trying to convince more of the dimwit suburban women that voting for demoslut or Rino policies isn't in their best interest.

Seems to me that Ryan has the ticket, if his priorities are…shut the border, cut federal spending (eliminate functions that are not constitutionally strong…for example do we really need an armed force in each department? get ss to be sustainable, transfer welfare to the states (per the 10 amendment), get the feds out of the way of growth, restrict travel spending on the fed dime to trains, trim the deficit back….

If anyone knows how to lose it's Paul Ryan. He was Speaker in Trumps first two years. With both houses Trump could have implemented all of his plans. Ryan was key to crippling Trump. He could have stood beside him and ushered in prosperity two years earlier. We do not need to listen to this loser. We need to stand by DJT out of loyalty for what has endured for our sake. DeSantis seems to be a great guy and very promising for the future but he was an establishment guy prior to his election in 2016. We've been taken in before by seemingly great guys before. (Bush, Romney) They are all going to try to separate us from Trump because getting the base to start infighting is the only way that any of them can win. That includes all of these cocktail circuit Republicans.

A failed speaker, who sold out to the Chamber of Commerce, who now thinks he is in charge of the 2024 nomination? I think not. Trump will run him over like he did Jeb Bush. He had his chance but balked at everything Trump wanted. Had he been brave he would have made things better in 2017.

I frankly am quite content that the Republicans could only gain the hose in the election. That will be enough to stop Biden and the Democrats agenda. The economy will falter and go into recession and discontent among even the anti-Trump suburban pro-abortion voters will rise. They will finally remember who good they had it during the Trump presidency and will be ready to vote the Democrats out in 2024 president and all. We just have to endure the $h!t show for 2 more years.

Why is this little weasel poking his head out now? Have his overlords pushed him out there along with the rest of the Rino enablers whose protection of the status quo is of paramount importance to the party bigwigs? As far as I am concerned Paul Ryan is a traitor to every patriotic American. He is the poster boy for doing nothing when he had a chance to move forward an America First agenda. He betrayed hard working Americans to do the bidding of the GOPe. Now the Rinos are coming out again to work against the will of the people. These fools would rather lose elections than support a Trump agenda. They are so out of touch I just don’t know why they don’t leave and create a third party. If they believe they can wrench the party away from the America First agenda, they are dead wrong. We have seen the path that works for the country and its people and it is not the way the GOPe wants to take us. No more Paul Ryan’s. We have had enough of betrayal.

In what I suspect is a spate of misinformed zealotry, Apple has threatened to remove the Twitter app from its App Store. At least, according to Twitter CEO Elon Musk. This is all part of the effort by left-wing zealots to “punish” Twitter for proposing to end censorship based on political leanings. Mr. Musk said that, if pressed, he would launch his own line of phones in response. Should Apple CEO Tim Cook take such a threat seriously, or can he laugh it off? I think he’d best take it very seriously.

Georgia GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker is hoping the state's most influential Republican can help him eke out a win in his runoff against Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock. In a new ad released Monday, Gov. Brian Kemp is shown at a Walker rally telling the audience he has "never been more optimistic about the future of our state" and implores Georgians to vote for Walker on Election Day. Kemp, who won reelection earlier this month against Stacey Abrams, tells voters that they "cannot rest on our laurels." "You're going to decide who our senator is. This is going to be a turnout election," he says.

The Left, the NeverTrump Right, and many independents are tiring of Donald Trump’s recitations of prior, however justified, grievances at the hands of the media, the Democratic Party, the administrative state, and hard-core Left. The conventional wisdom runs that Trump’s whines and victimization recitations reveal deep paranoias, and increasingly to an obsessive degree. We are told that his near neurotic obsessions with the unfairness of his critics are alienating the independent voter, who finds Trump’s strolls down 2020-21 memory lane the same-old, same-old ad nauseam.

Already out of Thanksgiving cheer, The New York Times delivered a cold housewarming greeting to the incoming Republican-controlled House of Representatives in Saturday’s “Meet the House Republicans Who Will Wield Power in the New Congress.” Reporters Catie Edmondson, Luke Broadwater, and Emily Cochrane made it clear what they thought of the incoming GOP, as an unwelcome disruptor of the poor put-upon Democratic President Biden: Republicans may have won control of the House by only the slimmest of margins, but in a chamber that operates purely by majority rule, their razor-thin edge has given them all the tools they need to plunge the Biden administration into a morass

Dr. Anthony Fauci is retiring at the end of the year. Yea! Fauci is doing media interviews on his way out of the door full of talk about his legacy and how politics should be kept out of investigations into the origins of COVID-19. Ugh. On NBC’s Meet the Press, St. Anthony told Democrat operative Chuck Todd that he doesn’t align himself with either political party after Todd played a clip from Mike Pence saying Fauci aligned himself with Democrats. The conversation was about the lockdowns and restrictions that were supported by Fauci and other advisers. Remember when we were initially told the medical community needed two weeks

Jill Biden brought the people back to the 'People's House' with this year's White House Christmas decorations theme. With the executive mansion open for holiday tours again now that the COVID pandemic is slowing down, the first lady picked 'We the People' to star in the decor, which features do-it-yourself style adornments and mirrors to reflect the visitors who walk through the halls.  More than 50,000 people are expected to tour the White House this holiday season, according to the East Wing.  The decorations include 77 Christmas trees, including three dedicated to Gold Star Families. There are 83,615 holiday lights that decorate the trees, garlands, wreaths, and displays around the mansion

President Biden urged Congress Monday to intervene to avert a "potentially crippling national rail shutdown," after multiple rail labor unions shot down an agreement brokered by the White House in September. American consumers and virtually all industries could take a hit at the beginning of the holiday season if workers do strike as soon as Dec. 5. Congress could intervene and impose contract terms on railroad workers, which is what Mr. Biden is urging them to do. Thanks to the Railway Labor Act, passed in 1926, Congress can force workers back to their stations with a congressional resolution.

A defiant soon-to-be former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, scoffed at likely new Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s vow to strip him of his place on the powerful committee, resorting to his trademark conspiracy-mongering during one of his customary Sunday morning appearances on CNN. Schiff smeared his fellow Californian by dredging up the batty Q-Anon conspiracy to insinuate that McCarthy is subservient to MAGA Republicans, like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Florida firebrand Rep. Matt Gaetz, as a means to flout his likely leadership of the Republican House caucus. “McCarthy’s problem is not with what I have said about Russia. McCarthy’s problem is, he can’t get to 218 without

With just one week left until the deadline for railroad companies to reach a deal with 12 rail unions or else a nationwide strike will kick off, the White House doesn't seem to know what it's actually doing to help avert a strike — a strike that Biden already took a victory lap for supposedly averting in September.  The confusion may have gotten buried over the long Thanksgiving weekend, but President Joe Biden contradicted his own press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her claims about what Biden and his administration have been doing to try and prevent a strike that would cost the U.S. economy as much as $2 billion per day
