Freedom Caucus Balks at Paul Ryan, Refuses to Endorse
breitbart.com ^ | 21 Oct 2015 | Matthew BoylePosted on 10/21/2015, 9:45:20 PM by 867V309
Since Ryan has failed to achieve the Freedom Caucus endorsement, the question now becomes if he will stick to his promise and drop out of contention for the Speakership.
“No,” Ryan’s spokesman Brendan Buck told Breitbart News earlier on Wednesday when asked if Ryan would follow through with a Speakership bid without an official House Freedom Caucus endorsement.

Freedom Caucus Majority Backs Paul Ryan for House Speaker NY Times ^ | 10-21-15 | DAVID M. HERSZENHORN and EMMARIE HUETTEMAN Posted on 10/21/2015, 10:53:26 PM by afraidfortherepublic
A strong majority of anti-establishment conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus voted on Wednesday night to support Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin for House speaker, assuring that he will have the votes to secure the post next week and averting a leadership crisis for Republicans.
Mr. Ryan indicated that he was prepared to seize the gavel and try to bring unity to his party, which has been riven over how House leaders exert authority over members. That fight had become so bitter that it forced the resignation of Speaker John A. Boehner and derailed the candidacy of the majority leader, Representative Kevin McCarthy, to replace him.
“I’m grateful for the support of a supermajority of the House Freedom Caucus,” Mr. Ryan said in a statement, referring to the two-thirds vote he received.
The apparent coalescing of support behind Mr. Ryan, 45, comes at a critical moment for Congress, with votes expected to begin as soon as next week over raising the government’s borrowing authority, the first of several pressing fiscal matters.

To: afraidfortherepublicI think Ryan is a good man and will be fair as Speaker. What really amazes me is all this bashing and hating going on against Ryan, as if those FReepers have been living on some other planet for the past few years. It seems to come as a shock to them that the House is not dominated by conservatives. What part of the single-digit congressional approval rating do they not understand?

Ryan lied repeatedly to us about Amnesty in the TPP treason bill .
Ryan has met with Zuckerberg about ramming thru Amnesty for the left,Ryan cooked up a budget that cut Vet benefits with the Dems .Ryan is owned by Cheap Labor express Billionaire Sheldon Adelson.There is NOTHING honorable , Decent, or moral about La Raza Ryan !

To: bigbobI think Ryan is a good man and will be fair as Speaker.To be blunt, you are full of sh*t.
Ryan is a truly evil human being.
Ryan will gleefully seek to continue policies that will destroy our Republic. I guess you are okay with that.

BREAKING NEWS: JOE SAYS NO Biden announces he will not run for president in 2016
Fox News ^ | October 21, 2015 | Fox NewsPosted on 10/21/2015 11:37:12 AM by WhiskeyX
Vice President Biden announced Wednesday that he will not run for president, ending months of feverish speculation over his 2016 plans and likely settling the Democratic field.
Speaking in the Rose Garden alongside his wife Jill and President Obama, Biden said the window of opportunity to mount a viable campaign “has closed.” He has been weighing a decision since summer, but cautioned all along that he and his family were grieving over the loss of his son Beau Biden — and said Wednesday he knew that process could outlast the window for making a decision.
“Unfortunately I believe we’re out of time, the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination,” Biden said.

Racial Slur Burned Into Palm Bay Man’s Front Lawn WESH ^ | Aug 31, 2015 Posted on 9/1/2015 11:52:48 PM by nickcarraway
A Palm Bay man said he wanted to explode in anger when he saw what happened to his front lawn.
Police are now investigating after someone used a chemical to write a racial slur on the man’s lawn in huge letters.
Courtney Gordon’s lawn serviceman pointed it out to him. The N-word, in three-foot letters, on his front lawn.
“I feel like this is a threat to me and my family, so I’m not too happy about it,” Gordon said. “You can see them slowing down when they go by my house, so everybody’s just driving by and reading it.”
Gordon has an idea who might have done it. He notified police, and they’re investigating.
“I have a feeling of who done it. It’s like a group of them, and I leave them to God,” Gordon said. “I’m a big guy, so they’re not gonna come to me and say that. They did it like the way they did it, behind my back and at night.”
Police told Gordon it’s a hard crime to solve, unless someone confesses. If the vandalism is classified as a hate crime, it can be prosecuted as a higher degree of misdemeanor, with an enhanced penalty.
“I feel that they’re a coward, because if they have an issue with me, it’s just best to come and speak to me, and not take it to a level as this,” Gordon said.
Gordon has a surveillance camera, but it wasn’t on at the time. Gordon said it will be from now on.
That section of Gordon’s lawn is being re-sodded, and he said the expense is just part of what’s so upsetting.

By himself, most likely. Most of these turn out to be attention seeking hoaxes.

To: nickcarrawayI would start looking for the nearest #BLM crowd for the perps, it’s just a fact white people don’t do these things,
I really have no idea but I would suspect this is a predominately white area, and the BLM crowd do not like blacks living there, like everywhere else blacks suffer the most at the hands of other blacks.
