Paul Ryan’s Impotent Appeal

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 5/30/2021 4:38:06 AM

Of all the reactions to Paul Ryan’s speech Thursday at the Reagan Library in California, I thought the funniest was the one titled “Paul Ryan Begins to Re-emerge.” I found that idea funny because the speech I heard signaled the opposite: not burgeoning “re-emergence” on to the political stage but, on the contrary, an almost comical confirmation of obscurity. Ryan is a careful man, well-pressed, armed with all the best clichés, and utterly feckless. He salted his talk with plenty of gems calculated to appeal to conservatives. He appealed early and often to the ghost of Ronald Reagan—understandable given the auspices of his talk.

I'm just wondering who got the reward for spotting Ryan from the picture on the milk carton and reporting his current whereabouts.

The Reagan Library should set their standards a little higher for those invited to speak there. Paul Ryan is certainly not the face of the Republican Party. Time for Eddie Munster to disappear again IMO.

Be interesting to find out how much Paul Ryan is worth these days. Millions no doubt. Another gutless, greedy republican traitor with his snout buried deep in the corruption trough of the DC Swamp. My question is who exactly at the Reagan Library invited this little commie quisling toad to come to the Library and spew forth his hatred of President Trump and by extension the 80 million plus citizens who voted for our President. President Reagan must be looking down with complete disgust at Lying Ryan befouling his Library. With republicans like Ryan who needs enemies.

OK. why is Ryan afraid of PDT? Is there something in Ryan's life that would be devastating (to him) if it ever were to be made public? PDT cannot be bought or bribed.

I think Ronald Reagan would have seen Ryan for the empty suit he truly is. He mouths all the right platitudes but when it comes down to doing the right thing, he always slips in with his swamp buddies. A completely untrustworthy individual.

Paul Ryan, former conservative hero when he schooled Obama on budget policy in '09, is a GOPe/UNIPARTY stalwart, as are most of the Bush, Cheney, Romney, McCain adherents these days. He tries to emulate his hero Jack Kenp; and he's no Jack Kemp. Speaker Ryan lost his "moral authority" to speak on Republican/conservative unity after siding with the anti-Trump forces, resigning his speakership without vacating the seat, and then forfeiting the '18 Congressional elections. In that Paul Ryan is clearly responsible for Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat majority, which includes responsibility for the two Trump impeachment debacles.

Sometimes politicians say something so stupid that you know you never want them near the levers of power. When Paul Ryan (AKA Eddie Munster) argued that making illegals citizens would bail out Social Security, that told me everything I needed to know about him. Anyone with half a brain knows that low-paid semi-literate laborers will take out far more money than they'll ever pay into that system.

A former top Trump White House official is teasing a major revelation about the corrupt Biden family and their foreign business dealings.During an interview on Newsmax, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows suggested he may know about the Biden family’s business dealings.“I can tell you, there is more to come with Hunter Biden,” Meadows said.“It’s amazing how Joe Biden and Hunter Biden actually had a quid pro quo, and to accuse President Trump of using his influence to enrich his family was just not accurate,” Meadows added.“And now, what we’re seeing is perhaps the real influence-peddling that took place was by then-Vice President Joe Biden,”

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed legislation that would rename a stretch of highway for former President Donald Trump.The Republican governor signed an omnibus bridge and highway naming bill Friday, which renamed a 20-mile stretch of road, spanning from Boise City, Oklahoma, to the state's border with Texas, as the President Donald J. Trump Highway.The bill initially hit a roadblock when Democratic legislators pointed out that state law requires, in most cases, a person to be dead for at least three years before a road or bridge can be named in their honor, according to the Oklahoman. Republicans repealed the three-year waiting period, allowing the highway to be named after Trump.

Something Nick Carraway, in The Great Gatsby, says about Tom and Daisy Buchanan seems to apply, these days, to our totalitarian-minded leftists. What Carraway, the narrator in F.

These observations come to mind in the context of the ongoing putdowns of former President Trump by the deep staters, the NeverTrump people --

Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow examines this media phenomenon in his investigative blockbuster Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption.One of the most recent examples of the deep corruption and demonstrative bias of the corporate media and their allies can be seen in the way the press portrayed Cuomo versus DeSantis, Marlow observes in Breaking the News.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) would likely be among the first to admit that he's not the most popular name in Republican circles these days, but that doesn't mean his successful bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 can't serve as a template for future contenders. The Republican Party's 2024 picture is muddled. The consensus seems to be that until former President Donald Trump makes it clear whether he'll run, potential candidates will lay low. One way they can do that and still make some headway if they do ultimately enter the scrum is to get involved with 2022 House

The 78-year-old President of the United States, Joe Biden, is not well. He is suffering from an obvious mental decline. Americans are not sure of his exact condition because he has not released any mental competency test results. When he was asked about it during the presidential campaign, he responded in anger and accused the news reporter who posed the question of being a “junkie.” Clearly, Biden does not exhibit the same mental acuity that he did as a United States Senator. Comparing videos of Senator Biden versus President Biden shows he is a shadow of his former self.
