New in PJ Media:
Paul Ryan, the losing vice presidential candidate on the Republican Party’s all-RINO 2012 ticket, says that Donald Trump, the only Republican candidate to win the presidency between 2004 and 2020, cannot win in 2024. Ryan, of course, really hopes that Trump will not regain the presidency, for that would mean the definitive end of the controlled-opposition establishment wing of the Republican Party, in which Ryan was once a central figure. But Ryan on Thursday went beyond expressing the hope that Trump would lose to stating confidently that he would.
According to the New York Post, the failed candidate, who also served as a singularly colorless and ineffective speaker of the House from 2015 to 2019, “offered a blistering assessment Thursday during an interview with Teneo, a D.C. consulting shop where he serves as a vice-chairman.”
“We all know he will lose,” Ryan said flatly, “or let me put it this way: we all know he’s much more likely to lose the White House than anybody else running for president on our side of the aisle. So why would we want to go with that?”
Sounding very much like his successor as House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, Ryan continued: “He’s going to try to intimidate people out of the race as long as he can. Whether he runs or not, I don’t really know if it matters … He’s not going to be the nominee, I don’t think.”
Why not? Ryan didn’t say, but it does seem clear that the establishment, both Democrat and Republican, will be busy doing everything in its power in 2024 to prevent Trump from reentering the White House on Jan. 20, 2025. After all, he was impeached twice on the flimsiest of pretexts. He was framed for collusion with Russia, in which he did not engage.
Even now, nearly two years after he left the White House, he is facing likely indictment on more baseless charges. Members of the establishment are so desperate to keep Donald Trump out of the White House that they’ve embarked upon an all-out search for a crime they can hang on him so as to put him safely behind bars or at least render him unelectable.
Such a witch hunt is unprecedented in American history. Whatever one may think of Donald Trump, it is clear that he rattles the corrupt kleptocrats in Washington like no one else, and that’s why they’re so hell-bent on destroying him. And so Paul Ryan, a central member of that establishment, may well be right that Trump will not be the Republican nominee in 2024, but if he isn’t, it will almost certainly not be because he has been rejected by Republican primary voters; it will be because the elites have found some way to take his candidacy off the table.
There is more. Read the rest here.

It’s supposed to be a government of The People, by and for, the People. But, the corrupt, the crooked, the liars, selfish, greedy, and many other things one wishes to not have power over them, are bound and determined to do exactly the opposite of what The People want.
“Snakes in Suits,” by Dr. Robert Hare, describes these ones such as ryan, pelosi, schumer, wasserman-schultz, durbin etc. If they don’t fit his description entirely, that of a psychopath, they are very close…seeing no remorse nor empathy in any of them. Seeing only greed and self-interest, and a willingness to lie about anything and everything, and work feverishly to make their wicked dreams come true.
It seems to me that the prophecy in Revelation 16 is being fulfilled, and about to be fully so.

True.
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.”
– John Adams (1735-1826)
“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
– Samuel Adams (1722-1803)
It is the first responsibility of every citizen to “question authority”
– Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
“Foreign influence is truly the Grecian horse to a republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its influence.”
– Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804)
“Sir, no nation has ever yet existed or been governed without religion. Nor can be. The Christian religion is the best religion that has been given to man, and I as chief magistrate of this nation am bound to give it the sanction of my example.”
– Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
“We have staked the whole future of American civilization not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments.”
– James Madison (1751-1836)

All too true. It’s more than the “cesspool” that we call Washington, D.C…. it’s the world, the “global elite,” ganging up on Trump and anyone who embraces the concept of freedom, independence, national borders and the God of the Bible rights of the individual.
As the Apostle Paul said:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)
This is a Cosmic battle for the hearts, minds and souls of the world’s people. Sadly, it appears that the “rulers of this world” are winning the battle.

No one has contributed more to discrediting Trump than Trump himself. He’s given his “enemies” lots of ammo.
James Lincoln says
Rarely,
It’s clear from your posts that you are not a fan of Pres. Trump.
But..
Do you prefer the *policies* of the Biden administration to the *policies* of the Trump administration?
Rarely says
I am not a fan of Biden but however one may dislike Biden it does not mean that they must automatically support Trump. One has nothing to do with the other.
Post-election Trump has not exactly been a positive force.
James Lincoln says
Rarely,
Thank you for your reply.
Just curious, if you dislike Biden – but can’t support Trump – who did you support during the 2020 US presidential election?
James Lincoln says
Why are Democrats and RINOs so deeply concerned with Pres. Trump?
Why?
Because he’s over the target.

Paul Ryan is one major reason – aside from the Murdochs, that people who still watch FNC should move on from that to either OANN or Newsmax. Or if one watches other videos on YouTube, one could watch the Daily Wire or Breitbart shows as well
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Has Biden wiped his ass today? Just curious. It concerns me as it must the whole nation.
