Paul Ryan Bashes Trump and ‘Trump Populism,’
Says It’s Now the ‘Establishment’
Posted By: Imright, 2/21/2024 8:49:49 PM
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan in an interview Wednesday with the Washington Post bashed former President Donald Trump and “Trump populism,” lamenting that it was now the “establishment.” He said: I am in the minority my party right now. I’m not in the establishment. I’m frankly an anti-establishment Republican. And you, I think you can safely argue — I don’t enjoy acknowledging this — that Trump is the establishment and Trump populism is the establishment and that Trump populism is this more isolationist strain that I think is wrong and dangerous and I don’t support, but that does represent a large swath of Republican voters.

President Joe Biden on Thursday revealed that two journalists privately told him they would have to leave the country if Donald Trump won the election because he has threatened to jail them.
Biden made the claim as he addressed wealthy donors in California and spelled out the dangers of a second Trump term.
He singled journalist Katie Couric who was among the audience. ‘Katie, there’s two of your former colleagues, not at the same network, told me personally that if he wins they have to leave the country because he’s threatened to put them in jail,’ he said.
Biden offered no further details.

Last week, CBS News initiated a series of layoffs that included investigative reporter Catherine Herridge. While her termination from the network was a surprise, what happened afterward could have a chilling effect on whistleblowers: CBS News seized Herridge’s confidential files. She was reportedly doing research for a story about Hunter Biden's laptop. For all of the liberal media’s hysterics about how Russia, they’re pretty quiet about these KGB-esque tactics being used against a journalist (via NY Post): (X's) The acclaimed CBS reporter who was investigating the Hunter Biden laptop scandal before she was fired last week had her personal files seized by the network

appeals court strikes down law allowing
non-citizens to vote 3 replies
A law that New York City progressives passed in 2022 that would have allowed roughly 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections was struck down by an appeals court as unconstitutional on Wednesday.
“We determine that this local law was enacted in violation of the New York State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law, and thus, must be declared null and void,” Appellate Judge Paul Wooten wrote in the 3-1 majority decision, according to the New York Post.
The judge noted that the state constitution applies only to citizens having the right to vote in municipal as well as statewide elections for state legislative offices.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed is on course to lose her reelection bid to a no-nonsense rival pledging to clean up the city.
The incumbent mayor, 49, suffered poor results in a new poll from the San Francisco Chronicle that found she would lose her office to the man who briefly held it before her, Mark Farrell, 50.
In a tight three-way race, Farrell registered 20 percent support, Breed registered 18 percent, and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie registered 16 percent. While the candidates were closely matched, San Francisco's use of ranked choice voting in its mayoral elections would see her struggle - with Breed receiving far fewer second-choice votes
Among the evening network newscasts, ABC News continues its unparalleled run as the most stridently and shamelessly pro-Biden. Tonight’s report on the latest student loan handout might as well have come from the White House’s comms shop.
Watch the report in its entirety as aired on ABC World News Tonight on Wednesday, February 21st, 2024: (Video) DAVID MUIR: The other major headline of the White House today involves the president canceling $1.2 billion in student loan debt, more than 150,000 student borrowers. This was a campaign promise, of course, and he continues to push forward on this.
MARY BRUCE: He does, David. And starting today, 153,000 student borrowers will be receiving
We reported on how Joe Biden is in California doing a bunch of campaign events, trying to hype his flagging effort.
He was at the Culver City Library on Wednesday speaking to a tiny crowd about student debt forgiveness, what looks like a vote-buying effort, as well as an end run around the Supreme Court and Congress. He couldn't draw people, even with many of those people being public officials. Why speak in a library rather than on a college campus, for example? He was likely afraid he would be besieged by anti-Israel activists and that wouldn't convey the picture they want to project.

Joe Biden flew into San Francisco on Wednesday, after his visit to Los Angeles After he went down the Air Force One short stairs, wearing sneakers to help prevent him from tripping, he was met at the bottom by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). They then held hands as she led him across the tarmac to Marine One.
That sparked lots of comment and mockery. (X Video) The NY Post reported on one of the cutting comments on X, which was pretty consistent with the general take of their walk, calling it a "nursing home reunion" look.

Back in February 14th, I wrote here on TGP: “Odysseus has departed on a perilous journey that is larger-than-life. No, we are not talking about the mythological hero Ulysses from the immortal Odyssey and Iliad – but the new American spacecraft that is embarking in a mission that is every bit as fantastic.”
Tonight we can say: TOUCHDOWN. America is back on the moon after half a century.
NBC News reported:“A robotic spacecraft made history Thursday becoming the first privately built craft to touch down on the lunar surface, as well as the first American vehicle to accomplish the feat in more than 50 years.
They’re stealing Trump’s business and fortune.
Judge Engoron on Thursday denied Trump’s request to delay enforcement of the $355 million in penalties as New York Attorney General Letitia James threatens to seize Trump’s buildings.
Engoron last Friday ordered Trump to pay more than a $355 million fine and barred Trump “from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.”
Engoron claimed Trump and each of the defendants “participated in aiding and abetting the conspiracy to commit insurance fraud by their individual acts

President Joe Biden has overseen a record-breaking level of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border — a large portion of which is being released directly into American towns and cities.
From February 2021 through January 2024, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data shows that more than 7.2 million illegal aliens have arrived at the nation’s porous southern border.Thus far in Fiscal Year 2024, with only four full months completed, nearly a million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border. In Fiscal Year 2022, Biden broke records by overseeing close to 2.37 million illegal aliens at the border,

The Democrat Party goes to ridiculous lengths to protect its own — until it doesn't. When the Democrats smell blood in the water they throw their embattled colleagues under the bus in a heartbeat. Minnesota Democrat Sen. Al Franken was a perfect example.
When Franken was first accused by a conservative talk-radio host of forcing an unwanted kiss on her during a 2006 U.S.O. tour, his Senate Democrat colleagues rushed to defend him. Seven more women followed with similar accusations about Franken, and just three weeks after the first accusation, he was toast — and forced to resign.
Do people still read newspapers?
Former Senator Claire McCaskill went on a rampage against President Trump on MSNBC Wednesday morning demanding that US newspapers ease up on Old Joe Biden and fact-check Donald Trump every morning on their front page.
OK, boomer.
Claire made the statement after she claimed the entire world is worried about Trump winning in 2024. The entire world is PRAYING Trump will take over in 2024.

WASHINGTON — President Biden has given first dog Commander to relatives, the White House said Wednesday following revelations of more brutal attacks on Secret Service employees — including a case in which White House tours were suspended to mop up blood from the floor of the East Wing and another attack where an agent suffered a “severe deep open wound” at Biden’s Delaware vacation home.
An illegal alien, accused of causing St. Johns County, Florida, sheriff’s office Sgt. Michael Kunovich’s death, has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit claiming his limited English-speaking skills make him disabled.
As Breitbart News reported, 19-year-old illegal alien Virgilio Aguilar-Mendez of Guatemala was arrested in May 2023 and has been charged with resisting an officer with violence and manslaughter in connection with Kunovich’s death.
This week, Aguilar-Mendez’s defense attorneys filed a federal civil rights lawsuit [snip] claiming that their client is disabled because he does not speak English or Spanish
President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump.
The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations.
The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.
I know what you're thinking. The headline has to be some sort of clickbait, right? Actually, no. The Biden administration is working on a final solution for Israel.
It's been a hell of a week for the Joe Biden foreign policy shop at Foggy Bottom, and that has now extended to Turtle Bay. The two-state solution that Joe Biden wants to impose on the two parties currently at war in the Middle East, a solution neither side will ever accept in the near future, is a myth that's also threatening to collapse the Democratic Party from within.
If Joe Biden supports Israel, he loses the Arab-American voting bloc in Michigan,

Wyoming's Rare Earth Breaks China Dependency

There is excellent news for the American industry, economy, and international trade sectors. The discovery of colossal rare earth deposits in Wyoming could essentially restructure the global supply chain of these crucial elements in the near future.
A discovery of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare earth elements (REEs) in a mine outside of Sheridan, Wyoming, has generated great excitement across industries stateside. For one, the reserves are estimated to be bigger than China’s current reserves, implying that this single find could end America’s reliance on Chinese exports if exploited judiciously.
Although I was born into a typical Democrat New York City family, I registered as a Republican as soon as I was old enough to vote.
Why? Just to be different but at heart, I was as enamored of John F. Kennedy as the nuns at my high school. My first vote was for Democrat Hubert Humphrey, and I worked for Robert F. Kennedy’s senatorial campaign. But I was never really a Republican at heart until Ronald Reagan ran for president in 1976.
Before that epiphany, I was as clueless as the rest of America, and when a German coworker asked me the difference between the two major parties,

Earlier this week a couple of propagandists, also identified as scholars, released a ranking of U.S. presidents. It has about as much credibility as the Clinton Russia hoax. But it does reinforce the gaslighting narrative that so many of our institutions are engaged in.
The list, part of a Presidential Greatness Project compiled by a pair of university professors, ranks Joe Biden as the 14th best president. Ever. We’re talking the Joe Biden who is in office today. There has been no other president from an earlier era named Joe Biden to be confused with.
The academic malpractice doesn’t end there.
On Monday night, Shawn Crowley, one of the attorneys representing E. Jean Carroll, suggested that Carroll is considering yet another lawsuit against Donald Trump because he insists on defending himself by denying any wrongdoing.
At issue were Trump's statements over the weekend at a rally in Michigan, where he criticized Carroll's lawsuits and called them unfair. Crowley indicated that they're keeping tabs on Trump's public statements, waiting to pounce.
“We certainly watch them. It’s hard not to,” Crowley told MSNBC's Jen Psaki. “Every time Donald Trump speaks, you know, I think as we said at trial many times, he has the biggest megaphone in the world, and so everyone hears them,

Though judging by the polling it has been obvious for years to many Americans that President Joe Biden's age and fitness to lead are cause for concern, the release of the Hur report was sort of an "elephant in the room roars to life" moment for Biden's 2024 reelection campaign as they seek (in vain) to disprove his critics' longstanding observations about his memory issues.A video shared Tuesday to the official "POTUS" account on the Twitter machine won't help matters.

It's a tricky decision, whether or not to eat other people, and one that should be considered carefully, even though, "ethically, cannibalism poses fewer issues than you might imagine," according to an unsigned, subscriber-only piece in New Scientist.
Nobody wanted to put their name on that or leave it outside the paywall?
Never fear, I provided New Scientist with my credit card number — and, to my mild distress, with my home address — so I could read the excuse for cannibalism so powerful that its author must remain a mystery.
