Paul Ryan On Health Care Defeat: We Came Up Short

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan held a brief press conference after the Republican health care replacement bill was pulled before an official vote. The speaker met with President Trump earlier today, where Ryan informed the White House that the votes were not there for the American Health Care Act. Trump reportedly asked Ryan to then pull the legislation from consideration.

He said that the shift from being an opposition party to a governing party has its “growing pains,” and that they came up short today. Ryan said that doing big things is hard in Congress, and much more remains on the table to improve the lives of Americans, which is what he and others in the Republican caucus plan to do after this legislative defeat.

Ryan had no regrets. He was proud of this bill, which he said would have provided relief to families struggling under the regulatory burdens of Obamacare. He also said that the worst is yet to come for Americans regretting the effects of this bill.

He thanked President Trump, Vice President Pence, the White House staff, and Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney for their contributions during this process.

Saunders’ argument […]

Trump Gives Presidential Permit for Keystone, and 40,000 Jobs

By Geller Report Staff

 

And the President Donald Trump record for fostering job growth continues …

Friday, Trump announced via Twitter: “Today, I was pleased to announce the official approval of the presidential permit for the #KeystonePipeline. A great day for American jobs!”

Estimates are the pipeline, from Canada through several U.S. states to the oil refineries on America’s coast, will bring 40,000 new jobs.

Even unions wanted Keystone — but Barack Obama didn’t. Why? His radical environmental friends hated the thought of land being disturbed.

And Native Americans hopped aboard the anti-Keystone train in recent months, as well.

The project isn’t shovel ready just yet; several activists have petitioned Nebraska’s public service commission for the right to sue. State law requires they show a personal effect from the pipeline — a personal reason why the pipeline’s construction will impact their lives, their properties, their businesses.

As Fox Business reports:

“Opponents asked the Nebraska Public Service Commission Wednesday to let them intervene in the case, allowing them to file legal briefs, cross-examine witnesses and present formal arguments alongside pipeline developer TransCanada’s attorneys.
