House Republicans are working on a "bold, conservative agenda" like former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America," so it can work to retake the majority on what the GOP is for instead of merely running on President Joe Biden's failures, according to Rep. Steve Scalise, R-S.C., on Newsmax.

"We're working on a really good, bold conservative agenda," Scalise told Tuesday's "Spicer & Co." "We've talked to Newt. We've talked to others, and what we want to do is roll that out in the next few months as we get closer to the election."

The Republican message needs to be focused on an agenda of issues instead of relying on "how bad the policies of Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are," Scalise told co-hosts Sean Spicer and Lyndsay Keith.

"They want to know what we stand for, and we're going to be showing them what we stand for on every issue that people are facing," he added.

Among the big-ticket items ticked down by Scalise:

• Parents' input on their kids' education.
• School choice.
• Economic recovery.
• Securing the border.
• Standing up to "bullies around the world."
• Keeping kids in school amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Those are going to be things that we're going to be rolling out: You know, a good commitment to America that people can rally around," Scalise said. "Again, they know how bad the Democrats are. We're going to win the House back next year by rallying behind a real exciting, bold conservative agenda that people can contrast to what Biden has done to destroy this economy and the make America weaker all around the world."

Scalise and McCarthy are both whining pussies. They'll never do anything. They're pretenders.

Can't do anything with Joe in charge.

The timetable for the new House GOP midterm platform is after the gerrymander maps and matchups are set for the general election this summer.

"People don't really pay attention to elections until they get closer," Scalise said. "We don't even have maps in most states with redistricting. Qualifying usually is later. So once we get through primaries, you're going to see the races really shape up where it's going to be a good conservative Republican running against a big government socialist in a lot of these swing districts.

"And that's where the real races are going to be played out over who will control the House and the Senate in this November midterm."

Too early, they would win on "Tater hate/Trump's revenge" this go round, they should have waited till after the mid-terms so the slate would be fresher in voter's minds for 2024.

It's not the Clinton era anymore, they won't be able to work with the "Biden Bunch" like they were able to work with Clinton......All they will be able to do is nix any new laws the dems want and control the purse strings.

If they take the Senate to they could strong arm that pussy bitch Biden

Not really, at best I see a 4-5 seat gain and all that will do is empower the likes of Romney and his cabal of RINOs.

The Founders actually created our system to do precisely THAT. It was designed to be adversarial so that only those things the great majority agreed on, could be passed. It goes without saying that cutting checks to people for not working was never part of their vision. A lot of people imagine our Founders would be spinning in their graves to see the America of 2022. I think they'd be AMAZED that there even still WAS an America in 2022.

You guys are sitting around sipping your beers while Russia, China, NK, and Iran are about to start WW3. Some times routine politics needs to be put aside to keep the genie in the bottle.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't like the track we're on.

I have no clue how many Dems will be in the next Senate but with the Rinos that are there, there'd have to be a total of 70 Republicans to feel comfortable that any given piece of legislation could be passed. The Dems, up until Sinema and Manchin (I'm still amazed) stood up and said no to their coup, consistently voted as a solid block on everything. The Republicans have always been more divided. I expect Trump to focus on unseating some Senate RINOs when the opportunity avails itself.

I agree that this is the most dangerous global situation we've been in since WWII but I'd like to hope that the deep state and military-industrial complex aren't THAT insane. Come to think of it... that really isn't much of a logical hope, is it?
It will be a grave temptation for Putin, Xi, and the mullahs. They see the situation more clearly than most Americans and we are potentially going to be put in a situation where we risk nuclear war OR the loss of all credibility abroad. The last 5 years have seemed surreal to me.

Putin's Ukraine move make no sense to me, unless he's enjoying the bonus gas and oil revenue and wants some territorial gains? Russia's economy is about the size of Italy's, so he really can't go toe-to-to with NATO. He's bluffing, and Xiden is helping him telling Ukraine that Russia REALLY plans to invade so get ready. If he attacks Ukraine we'll see how good his military is.

Xi will probably bide his time until the US "Debt Bomb" hits and we have to cut back military spending or go bankrupt. SS & Medicare are going bankrupt already, SS will be bankrupt in 2034, and Medicare will be bankrupt in 2026. Then Xi can walk into Taiwan unopposed.

I don't know how hard-wired the mullah's are to nuke Israel? Or will Israel nuke them first? Either way is bad.

The deep state and military see the writing on the wall, that $30T "Debt Bomb" was called the biggest security threat facing the US, and that was back in 2011...

There should be ONE SINGLE ITEM on the agenda. Until the border/illegal alien problem is COMPLETELY SOLVED in this country, nothing else matters.

Both sides have had plenty of opportunities to solve the problem. THE TIME FOR TALK HAS LONG PASSED. FIX IT OR STFU.

• Standing up to "bullies around the world."

I got no problem with most of Scalese's list, BUT -

Standing up to bullies around the world maybe isn't always the right or smart thing to do. Spilling American blood and fighting someone else's battles needs to be carefully thought out. Personally, I don't want anymore long wars, we need to have skin in the game or pretty much stay home. And if we do go fight somewhere, define the mission and the goals, get the job done, and GTFO.

If the 20 fucking years in AFG didn't show the DC morons how stupid it is wasting US blood and treasure in shit-hole countries...it should be a simple matter of kill the perps and GTFO, not "nation-building". This reminds me.....I'm going to start a thread about feeding AFG now that they are starving....

A war with Ukraine, who is assisted by NATO, and the pile of sanctions that would hit Russia, would be more than Putin wants to deal with. I don't think he's that stupid, but being a dictator probably skews his perspectives. We'll see.

He knows NATO won't act. NATO requires an iron hand of leadership from the US to act on anything. They won't act.

NATO is providing military aid continuously, including anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft weapons, and artillary. True, NATO won't fight the Russians since Ukraine is not a NATO member, but the weapons and sanctions would really hurt Russia. I hope Putin is not that stupid.
