To my Republican friends: the only proposal you should be considering on Social Security & Medicare is ending mass unskilled migration in order to protect these programs for American Seniors who paid into them and depend on them. Ryanism is on the ash heap—leave it there forever.
Want to cut spending? Slash the corrupt woke bureaucracy, stop paying people not to work, punish fraud, curb military adventurism. Boost revenue? Tariff China. Reduce deficits? Halt migration & ban ALL noncitizen welfare. Improve cities? Get tough on crime. Don’t revive Ryanism.
Good post.
Nebraska Gov. Pillen appoints former Gov. Pete Ricketts as Ben Sasse’s Senate replacement
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen announced Thursday that former Gov. Pete Ricketts will fill the Senate seat of Ben Sasse, who officially resigned from Congress this week to return to academia as president of the University of Florida.
Ricketts, a Republican like Pillen and Sasse, will serve two years ahead of a 2024 special Senate election.
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen announced Thursday that former Gov. Pete Ricketts will fill the Senate seat of Ben Sasse, who officially resigned from Congress this week to return to academia as president of the University of Florida.
Ricketts, a Republican like Pillen and Sasse, will serve two years ahead of a 2024 special Senate election.
Sasse, a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and his supporters, officially resigned from the Senate on Sunday. He submitted his resignation last month, saying he would leave office Jan. 8, two years into his second term.
In his announcement Thursday, Pillen said the process to fill Sasse’s seat was taken “incredibly seriously” because the appointee needs to “represent the people” of Nebraska.
The appointee must reflect “values and ideology important to Nebraskans,” including a belief in “less government and fiscal accountability,” and be “person of incredible faith, God-fearing like almost all Nebraskans,” Pillen said.
“It’s clear the person for the job was Sen.-designate Pete Ricketts,” he said.
Pillen said Ricketts was tapped for Sasse’s seat after more than 100 people applied and nine were interviewed.
Following Pillen’s remarks, Ricketts thanked the governor, saying he was proud to support his campaign, and also thanked Sasse for his service. Ricketts then said he wants to make the federal government “run like a business.”
