Scoop: House Speaker Paul Ryan confidants say he's not running for re-election
Kevin McCarthy would be an improvement

#1  That's a relief.
Posted by: JohnQC || 04/11/2018 9:02 Comments || Top||

#2  Polling in the home district not up to the usual standards?
Posted by: Procopius2k || 04/11/2018 9:37 Comments || Top||

#3  The Ryan announcement appears to be sweeping the Cohen and Syria news from the front page.

#4  Not interested in being minority leader.

#5  He's doing it for the children.
Posted by: Skidmark || 04/11/2018 12:20 Comments || Top||

#6  He lacks the skills to be Speaker, and knows it. I have to wonder if anyone else there could do it better, given the split in the party between old hands and the new Tea Party types.

#7  Kevin McCarthy would be an improvement

A significant one?

#8  Well, bye.
Posted by: gorb || 04/11/2018 14:55 Comments || Top||

#9  To be an effective Speaker you need to be someone like LBJ: vicious when crossed... Ryan just didn't seem to have that 'killer instinct'.
Posted by: magpie || 04/11/2018 18:27 Comments || Top||

#10  Or Steve Scalice
Posted by: Frank G || 04/11/2018 19:19 Comments || Top||

#11  I guess Ryan figures he can do no more damage to US. With his kids getting older he has only a few years to ruin their lives.

Mueller take note: After Raiding Pro-life Activist's Home, California AG Pressured To Resign
[Townhall] Pro-life groups are demanding California Attorney General Kamala Harris resign her post and end her bid for the Senate after her office stormed into the home of pro-life activist and journalist David Daleiden on Tuesday. They were searching for his undercover Planned Parenthood videos exposing the organization's inhumane treatment of unborn babies.

Harris, who became attorney general thanks in part to Planned Parenthood's support, has an all too apparent bias in favor of the pro-abortion organization. It's no wonder then that she wanted to conceal any evidence that proves it is a money hungry business that only feigns to support women's health. After Harris' search and seizure, pro-life groups want her out of the public square.

The Susan B. Anthony List was one of the first to demand Harris' letter of resignation.
How many votes do social conservatives have in very Progressive California?

I'd vote for Bellvue.

Home Front: Culture Wars
Facebook Has Dozens of Ex-Obama and Ex-Hillary Staffers in Senior Positions
[Breitbart] During his recent apology tour, Mark Zuckerberg notably failed to mention recent revelations about the Obama 2012 campaign’s exploitation of the platform’s weak pre-2014 data protections to harvest masses of data from non-consenting users. The number of ex-Obama staffers on his payroll, according to Linkedin, might explain why.

The establishment media narrative on the Facebook data scandal hit a snag last month. They hoped the story would be restricted to Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics firm that they linked to the Cruz and Trump campaigns, and their alleged misuse of data. But a bigger story soon emerged, linked to a longtime media favorite: Barack Obama.

By the admission of Barack Obama’s former media analytics director, Carol Davidsen, the former president hoovered up far more data without users’ consent in 2012, when Facebook’s data policies were (as Facebook now concedes) far more vulnerable to exploitation than they were in 2016.

#1  Not surprised the make=up of FB staffers. being ex-Hillary staffers in senior positions. So the Russians using Facebook to try to sway the 2016 election towards Hildo was all Hillary and the Russians--not Trump.

Someone needs to get off the dime and deep-six the Mueller witch hunt since it was Hillary and the Dems. What the heck is it going to take to 6-six Freddy Krueger and his Dem buddies? Is it going to require a firing of RR? A second SC?

About the only message coming out of the MZ hearings that I heard was the comment by Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) that "FB sucks."

#2  Deep-six not 6-six. Freddy Krueger and his Dem buddies.
