A New Contract with America

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/6/2021 4:11:46 AM

There is no better time for the GOP to craft a new Contract with America to drive the campaigns for both the 2022 midterms and 2024 Presidential election year. That's right, it should focus their campaign strategy for the next three years. Why? Even if there is an overwhelming GOP landslide next November, the chances of having a big enough swing to be able overcome a Biden veto is unlikely. No matter what Republican candidates promise; it will be hard to meet expectations until we have a president in office who will support their agenda. Even with that limitation, it is vital to proceed and clarify what we stand for. It isn't just the candidates conservatives need to elect;

Comments:

I agree. It's beyond time to remind Congress and the people of this country exactly who is the employee (Congress) and who is the boss (the American citizens)!! It is also time to remind members of BOTH houses that, like ANY employee who refuses to the job they were hired to do, they can and will be summarily dismissed and replaced!!

With appreciation for the poster's views... If those signing Mr. Newt's plan had integrity, many still in Congress would have been gone long ago. You can bet if a current RiNO signs it, it will be a "Contract" ON grassroots republicans.

What you propose is not 'smaller government' in any form and you should know that, Mr Paulson. Smaller government is...smaller. Hint in the title. Not the same size as yesterday or last week. Forget 'fraud, waste and abuse' (every swamper's fatuous line), what about simple redundancy? From duties to positions to departments to agencies. Too many people doing the exact same things and doing them poorly, slowly or not at all. And then there are the constitutional questions. Is the creation of the FBI even permitted vis-a-vis enumerated powers? Why are federal agencies constantly seeking and permitted to bigfoot state agencies? Extending the status quo for as long as possible is not a contract.

We need to define our terms and only vote for those who agree to them and primary out any who break their promise to do so and put their child's bunny in a pot on the stove.

I hope they can do it on an extremely slim budget because my $.02 will not make it to their collection plates. I don't care what they promise for the next two years, their broken promises since 2016 have almost killed us. If not for GOP wussies, the slogan on those MAGA hats would still be our banner today and Donald Trump would still be in the White House. Just as it is done in Marine Boot Camp, GOP wannabes have to be broken down to their shoes before they become real men and women. I don't see too much of that out there.

How about if R members of Congress actually did what they said they would do while out campaigning? Eliminate all federal programs not mentioned in the Constitution would be a great start.

I still remember their campaign pledge to remove obamacare root and branch. And now we advanced to more than just nationalized health insurance they have nationalized health care to great destruction of health care in the u.s. Some hell holes now have far better performance against a now common virus and we have a poison clot shot.

Add to the five listed above: Secure all elections from school boards on up. One person, one vote, ID'd dye-dipped thumbs on Election Day. No mail in voting to be tampered with by postal workers or activists ( but I repeat myself ) No 'ranked' voting that favors libs 2:1. Term limits for ALL government employees. Federal budget tied by constitutional amendment to never more than 10% previous years' GDP. Universal conscription all citizens at age 18 for two years- either as warriors or hospital personnel or janitors, all housed in barracks Barracks for drifter/party animals/bums/homeless in fenced industrial locations far from city centers, free water, rice, beans and sterno. Porta potties. Padded romper rooms in jails when they lose it. Termination of all racist programs giving federal preference to 'favored' minorities. Just for starters.

And I quote the last Republican Speaker of the House from Trump's first year: "Don't worry, there is plenty of time left to implement the President's ideas. .. . ." The problem the Repulican party has is, nobody believes them about anything.

FTA: Even if there is an overwhelming GOP landslide next November, the chances of having a big enough swing to be able overcome a Biden veto is unlikely. What does anyone expect a GOP-majority Congress to repeal...they couldn't repeal Obamacare in the past? Honestly, where the rubber meets the profiteering road the GOPe is partners in the UNIPARTY. Seriously, what do folks expect? Full partners in $10 TRILLION in stimulus and other "essential" spending, with PDT signing the bills into law. Now giving the folks a show wrangling over a few billion here and there. I'll vote GOP only expecting the fall into the abyss to slow a bit...

Win back congress, both houses. Recruit Trump for speaker, he does not have to be elected to congress to be named speaker, BTW. Impeach and remove quid pro joe and the ho. Trump automatically becomes prez, to finish out the term until 2024 and THEN he can run again.

Not happening. 1. Kevin McCarthy is no Newt Gingrich. 2. Washington D.C. Republicans are not on the same page with their constituents; they prefer to hide the difference than pledge to be true to their constituents. 3. Getting all the various factions of Republicans to agree on anything is more difficult than getting lapdog, pork barrel democrats to agree.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday celebrated the reinstatement of a Florida doctor who temporarily lost his job because of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate. “Jeff, a Florida doctor I met in Brandon at the Special Session bill signing, was suspended from his job due to Biden’s mandate. He has now been reinstated due to our efforts to stop this heavy-handed federal mandate,” DeSantis announced, declaring that “freedom has a home here in Florida”: [Tweet].

Homeless and people with low incomes will soon be housed next to the iconic and expensive Venice Beach neighborhood after the Los Angeles City Council approved last week a 136-unit apartment building. The project, which will be built on city property that is now a parking lot, will cover 2.7 acres and the Venice Dell Community project will cost $75 million. This is a development that is also taking place in other U.S. cities led by leftists who believe forcing diversity of income and race into prosperous and safe neighborhoods is required to achieve “equity.” Half of the units will house homeless people,

As a thought experiment, I posted the following statement to Twitter last week: “Unless you are 100% sure that this vaccine is 100% safe for 100% of those who take it (you aren’t), you have NO moral right to force or coerce it on ANYONE. In fact, choosing to do so is an evil action.” To clarify, I added the below as a follow-up: “You can strongly recommend it. You can explain why you think the benefits are worth the drawbacks and/or risks. What you can't do - if you want to stay on the right side of morality, that is - is impose a negative consequence for making the 'wrong' choice.

Editor's Note: Graphic content warning. My cousin was murdered a few weeks ago. Shot in the back of the head by a “friend.” And robbed. He was 29, harmless, but attached to one too many friends in low places. The killer, predictably, was also a young black man. Just as predictably, my cousin only met his father once or twice – just enough to keep his gut throbbing with the snub of paternal abandonment. His older brother patched the gaps as much as he could. He encouraged him, chastised him, and called him on most days just to check in –

While many Americans have been focused on the endless carnage the Biden administration has wrought on our border, New York City is on the verge of passing radical legislation to give migrants the right to vote in city elections. The proposed bill would allow roughly 800,000 non-citizens to vote as long as they have legal status or a work visa. The legislation is expected to be voted on next month and has the support of incumbent Mayor Bill de Blasio, as well as incoming Mayor Eric Adams, whose framing of the bill has been misguided, if not intentionally deceptive.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing the state of Texas over its new redistricting maps, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Monday. The lawsuit, which was filed in the Western District of Texas, claims that the state violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The maps were drawn by state lawmakers during a special session and were signed and approved by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, in October. “Today, the Justice Department has filed suit against the state of Texas for violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act,” Garland said in a press conference Monday.

If you don’t like Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman’s new woke animated Christmas series “Santa Inc.” then you’re a white supremacist according to Rogen. If that’s the case, then apparently everyone is a white supremacist, because the reviews are so bad that it’s become one of the worst-rated series ever. The series is an “R-rated animated Christmas comedy with a touch of a feminist agenda” according to the promo by Rogen and Silverman. The premise of the show is that the role of Santa is typically one played by a white man, and that’s an issue for some reason. If it wasn’t obvious already, the allegory here

Proud Republican and Second Amendment supporter Rep.

So are the members of his family. On Saturday, the Republican congressman posted a “Merry Christmas” tweet containing a photo of his family standing or sitting in front of a Christmas tree. Each member of the family, all of them adults, was carrying a legal firearm. Besides saying “Merry Christmas,” the tweet also asked Santa Clause to “bring more ammo.”

Elections have consequences, and the consequences of the 2016 election were an influx of conservative judges who are now, years later, preventing current President Joe Biden from imposing his draconian vaccine mandates on the American people. “It’s the bitter fruit of Trump,” Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond law professor who’s frequently cited as an “expert” by the establishment press, lamented in a statement to The Hill. “This is where you are when Trump appointed almost a third of the federal appellate bench. This is what you’re going to see for some time.” The report by The Hill is titled, “Trump haunts Biden vaccine mandate in courts.”

But assuming all goes as planned, Gorka’s 99.9 percent confident that Trump will indeed run for reelection. Speaking on GB News last week, he admitted that he’d originally given it a 95 percent chance but changed his mind after meeting up with Trump. “I saw the president recently in New York.

With a massive build of Russian troops near Ukraine’s border, Russia’s Vladimir Putin is indicating a willingness to risk a military conflict, but analysts say while the threat is serious, an invasion is not certain. The threat of an invasion will be the central subject of President Biden’s video call with Putin on Tuesday. Biden is expected to warn of dire consequences should Russia follow through with a military offensive, while Putin is expected to reiterate his ultimatum that NATO should not allow Ukraine to join its military alliance. The outcome of the video call could have major implications as Putin weighs the potential costs of a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine.

Don’t take it from me that getting boosted is a good idea. Take it from the GOP’s new political hero. The Wall Street Journal asked around among doctors to get a sense of whether the boosters are working. Are you seeing many patients with COVID who’ve had three doses, the paper inquired? A few here and there, they replied, as we’d expect based on the data showing 90+ percent protection against infection, not 100. But they’re rare and mild, typically involving hospital care only if the patient is elderly. Which sounds familiar. That’s the same posture the country faced in the first few months of the vaccine rollout this year,
