The Hill ^ | 2/21/2024 | Brett Samuels

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s political advocacy group plans to invest $20 million this year to shape the conservative agenda, an effort to directly counter what Pence had previously described as populism “unmoored to conservative principles.”

How about allowing voters to decide what they want, instead of giving them false choices?

Well, the elitists can't have the unwashed deciding for themselves what is best for themselves, now can they?

After all all those RINO's who are partnering with the DS and WEF, know what we want and what's best for them er, ah.... us, even if we don't.

But, but, but, they might vote *wrong*, and not allow us to keep our positions of money and power.

Pence reminds me of a Covid blood clot. Something sleazy. They pull it from a dead body and it’s not natural.

The first will be to shape political majorities by creating a policy platform for candidates to embrace “and reverse the Right’s drift toward populism and the Left’s embrace of socialism.”

The second piece is focused on championing conservative legislation and advancing Pence’s policy priorities, which include promoting free trade, limiting government spending, restoring U.S. leadership on the world stage, and confronting China.

The third and final part of the project is aimed at protecting conservative principles, such as limited government.

*******************

Pence and his conservative goals are ideological constructs with contradictory missions.

1) He wants to stop the drift towards populism & socialism, but doesn’t produce any reasoning why populists & socialists are increasing in numbers.

2) Here are 3 issues that Pence is promoting in the article.

Free Trade is an ideology that says import/export corporations should face low taxation on the foreign imports they purchase. I don’t really care about free trade, protectionism, and tariffs because historically in this country those issues have been used to distract people from economic policies not in their favor.

Limiting government spending means cutting the whole federal budget. It needs to be done, but the political will to get receipts & outlays in balance isn’t there, yet.

Restoring global leadership and confronting China means huge military and foreign aid spending. Which means the government won’t be limited but will continue to be a bloated mess.

All Pence and his group offer, are more wars & more debt.

Also, the original populists were people that didn’t like silver being removed as money, didn’t like the tight money supply, didn’t like the high interest rates on high priced mortgages, didn’t like deflationary commodity prices, wanted a national currency, and felt the national debt favored a financial aristocracy a little too much. So Federal outlays & receipts needed to be somewhat in balance from their perspective.

What exactly are Mike Pences Conservative goals? He sounds more and more like the traitor he showed us in 2020.

So. THIS must be Pence’s retirement program/income. Nice gig. His own little PAC - I wonder what his ‘salary’ is?

Be nice if they instead spent this on highlighting the disasters of the Left and our society’s “drift toward” moral depravity such as toddlers being taken to strip clubs and having them put money down the thongs of the strippers while adults laugh and watch, a thriving forced prostitution / sex slavery industry due to our open borders, families and communities being destroyed by drugs flowing across the border, pornography being put in our schools and libraries, etc.

Pence isn’t smart enough or rich enough to run this.
Sounds more like Rove or the same group funding the CrazyLiz virus.

Pence & Ryan were BFFs in Congress

“Paul Ryan Bashes Trump and ‘Trump Populism,’ Says It’s Now the ‘Establishment’”

Ryan: “I am in the minority my party right now. I’m not in the establishment. I’m frankly an anti-establishment Republican. And you, I think you can safely argue — I don’t enjoy acknowledging this — that Trump is the establishment and Trump populism is the establishment and that Trump populism is this more isolationist strain that I think is wrong and dangerous and I don’t support, but that does represent a large swath of Republican voters.”

That happened when Ron took their money to fund his campaign.

He and “Mother” need to fade into obscurity. How dare he insert himself into politics after his betrayal of Trump and us? He doesn’t even have the decency to disappear to a remote farm and just STFU.

Several news articles with this theme today. DemocRat attempts to insulate current policy from cancellation by the incoming PDJT admin will appear as small attachments to any legislation that is guaranteed to pass and be signed into law by Cho BiDung. It is illegal of course as one congress cannot encumber next congress to honor it. But if there is a legal challenge, it could be years before the constraint is removed. Meanwhile citizens lives can be ruined with no recourse.
