Wild Rumor But Well Worth Investigating: Was Paul Ryan On Plane With Lynch And Clinton?

So…who was the passenger? With no point of origin paperwork or public flight plan needed for someone with such high clearance, the only evidence is the Maryland manifest, which says the former AG showed up to meet with Bill Clinton accompanied by Speaker Paul Ryan.

What would Paul Ryan, Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton be doing meeting in July, before the election, in a hangar outside of Baltimore? Theories are beginning to mount but the feeling is that Bill Clinton was negotiating for his wife and the DNC, while Ryan was looking out for the RNC and Lynch was the mediator. They were most likely conspiring to throw a wrench in the juggernaut that was the trump campaign. It didn’t work

WHEN THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM GETS DWARFED BY THE MASTODON IN THE ROOM

Sarah Palin's Words Ring Truer Than Ever

ROGUE v. WIMP

Congratulations Paul Ryan

I guess Paul Nehlen is not the next Dave Brat. Looks like Mary kissel found a pretty good poll after all. Can't wait to feel the steel in the back once more, Mr. Speaker. Boehner had nothing over you in the Judas department.

Kingmaker Sarah Palin Endorses Nehlen

Most endorsements matter not at all but a Sarah Palin thumbs up? Ask mediocretins like Nikki Haley and Kelly Ayotte how much a Sarah Seal of Approval can mean. I maintain that if John McCain had channeled his inner Sarah in 2008, he would have won his election but let's revisit that another time.

I can't think of anyone who has done a better job pf picking winners than the former governor of Alaska. Trump's primary campaign hit a new gear when he received Palin's backing. Be careful selling her short.

Don't ask me what happened to Paul Ryan. I suspect he was in Washington too long and his loyalties to places like America and Wisconsin were eclipsed by his loyalty to The Beltway. A symptom of Potomac Fever is that it can turn a good man into a prissy ass diva. Even is he wins on Tuesday, Ryan's days as Speaker are numbered.

"Wisconsin, please vote for this man 'of the people' this Tuesday!" she wrote.

Palin backed Nehlen in May in response to Ryan saying he wasn't yet ready to support Trump. At the time, she told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" that Ryan's "political career is over but for a miracle because he has so disrespected the will of the people."

Ann Coulter Stumps For Paul Nehlen

This time I will skip the usual "Ann Coulter can be a bit silly but..." introduction.

Coulter went to Wisconsin to stump for a primary challenger to the Speaker of the House.  This is big.

Remember a few brief years ago when we thought Ryan was a Tea Party kind of guy? Has this guy learned nothing from Eric Cantor?

IF I WERE A BETTING MAN, I MIGHT WAGER A BEVERAGE ON NEHLEN

Will Ryan Win His Primary?

We reported on a suspicious poll that had Paul Nehlen closing in on Paul Ryan. This poll 
from AMP Calypso had Nehlen up 5.

I can't vouch for AMP Calypso but let's face it, Ryan seems more like a weasel with each passing day. His reputation has taken a series of self-inflicted hits. He ain't what he used to be.

Have Ryan's Numbers Really Tanked?

We go to the blogosphere to find out things the media will not discuss.I firmly believe the blogs are much more accurate than MSM but we can be manipulated in much the same way the dinosaur media are puppeteered.

To summarize, there was a leak stating that a poll revealed only 43% of GOP voters supported Paul Ryan in the primaries. Interesting, but dig deeper and it turns out the poll was conducted by Ryan's challenger, Paul Nehlen. Maybe we should wait for an impartial survey before we lick our chops.

Breitbart.com reported:

 A poll of likely Republican voters shows House Speaker Paul Ryan well below 50 percent in his race to maintain his seat in Wisconsin’s first Congressional district. The poll was conducted by P.M.I., with 424 respondents randomly called from a file of 11,000 likely GOP primary voters. It shows that with one month remaining before Wisconsin’s August 9th vote, Ryan is polling at 43 percent.

Ryan’s challenger, Wisconsin businessman Paul Nehlen, is polling at 32 percent.

Blast From The Past: Cool Meets Smart

Smart used to trump cool. That changed in the early part of the 21st Century, at least in America.

This video encapsulates the age old high school student council meeting wherein the valedictorian to be meekly points out to the cool kids, the disadvantages of their proposal to install outlets for electric hair dryers in the school showers. Don't you have a chemistry test to study for?

In high school the cool kids' plans would be thwarted by the principal. And no, you may not have extension cords. In hip hop America, we get Obamacare.

"ARE YOU EXPRESSING INDIGNATION OR CONFUSION, MR. PRESIDENT?"

The Vice Presidential Debate: Audio vs. Video

Once more I listened to the debate on the radio. I listened in snippets at it transpired. Then I listened to post-debate analyisis. Finally, I listened to about the first fifteen minutes of the debate. I think I got the gist of it.

So I missed out on all the smirking and Biden silliness. Toss out those circus antics and one might think Uncle Joe won the debate. Not to my ears. Ryan came across as polite and prepared. I could see where a Jerry Springer fan might think he underperformed but I heard a man who sounded confident and knowledgable without sounding the least bit patronizing. No zingers but maybe the strategy was to avoid a food fight.

Biden sounded desperate. The same silly ass talking points over and over and over. If anyone was playing that drinking game where everyone chugs when you hear "47 per cent" they are probably nursing a serious hangover today. If Obama loses the elction, Biden will catch flack for not saving the day. But Biden senses a Humpty Dumpty situation. Let the record show that he did what he could to save the annointed one.

Romney did not lose any ground nor did he lose any momentum. I am not sure his opponent can make the same claim.

Don't Underestimate Joe Biden

I hope Paul Ryan does not underestimate Joe Biden. The latter does have that unique gift of connecting with people. If a curmudgeon like me likes someone, that someone is probably a gifted charmer, if only on a superficial level. 

Let me state with zero irony that I like and respect Joe Biden. He is a good man, an excellent family man, a great American and yes, Joe Biden is a patriot. I can remember a few years back, Joe Biden got all choked up talking at Arlington Cemetery. If it had been someone else, I would have said his emotions were staged. But Joe Biden is incapable of deception. WYSIWYG.

So what if Joe Biden is wrong about everything. So is most of my family. And yes, if America were a sitcom, Joe Biden would be Kremer. But let us not forget that Cosmo Kremer was a noble and loyal friend. People loved Kremer.

Paul Ryan has to be careful when he debates Joe Biden. Romney has the momentum and Ryan can't let it slip away. I hope he takes the debate seriously because Biden might just steal the evening. WYSIWYG.

One sign of Ryan’s impact on Romney campaign: Big crowds

Yahoo is reporting overflow crowds at R&R events. This is Yahoo, whose CEO bundles for Obama and usually spins things his way.

  Several thousand people turned out to see the new GOP ticket at a NASCAR mechanics training facility here—including at least 3,000 people who crammed into an overflow outside the event. It was the second day in a row of record-breaking crowds for the Romney campaign, including more than 8,000 who attended a rally in Manassas, Va., on Saturday. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/one-sign-ryan-impact-romney-campaign-big-crowds-154925553.html

He is a Republican Insider After All

I don't want to dampen anyone's enthusiasm about Paul Ryan. He is smart and he is a man of integrity. But he is also a Republican insider.

A lot of people are reminding us of this inconvenient truth. Paul Ryan supported Bush's prescription drug plan. He was a cheerleader for TARP and he voted for it. He voted to bail out GM. And his austerity plan never quite balances the budget. Yes, in some ways Ron Paul or Gary Johnson or Michelle Bachmann would be better.

But let us not despair. Ryan comes from a blue district, if not a blue state. Most of his bad decisions were made before there was a viable Tea Party. Even three years ago there was no network of support that let political allies know someone had their back. The Tea Party movement started in 2009. It took a while to gel but by 2010 it was a force to be reckoned with.

The elections of 2010 were monumental. It is my hope that this landmark emboldens fiscal conservatives. Romney or Ryan vintage 2008 might be a bit sheepish advocating for fiscal sanity but the 2012 models might be willing to flex some muscle. We hope.

We have been burned before. I thought George Bush and two Houses of Republicans would balance the budget, maybe even pay down the debt. Not even close. Their reckless spending would give license to the free spending Dems and we are now a year or two from insolvency.

Obama/Geithner/Bernanke/Reid, et al, have not gotten the message, and they never will. They either want to see the US crash and burn or they believe that deficits don't matter if they are the ones creating the deficits. Romney/Ryan is our only hope. Both of these men have baggage. But they represent one last chance for America to avoid becoming Greece on a scale unfathomable. We have to support them.

Paul Ryan: A Dream Comes True

My first choice for Vice President by a Secretariat margin was Paul Ryan. Smart. Economically savvy. Substance over style but not exactly deficient in the style department either. Paul Ryan is a nice guy who stands for something.

But these things never happen the way I want them to. Until now. There is hope for this country after all. Maybe we won't be the next Greece.

Hope and Change! The words have never resonated so clearly.
