Paul Ryan as the new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and his efforts to fix a "House that is broken"
10/29/2015
Paul Ryan becomes the new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in October 2015, taking over from Speaker Boehner. The U.S. Congress passed a new budget agreement negotiated with the White House to lift the debt ceiling and budget sequester spending caps till March 2017, allowing $80 billion in new spending. The idea was to give Speaker Ryan a new opportunity to bring together Republicans by avoiding the budget battles of the past. This happens as the U.S. faces new threats overseas and the economic recovery remains stalled in 2015.

U.S. House Speaker, Paul Ryan, and the "Confident America" campaign to help Congressional Republicans in 2016
04/10/2016
The campaign is part of efforts to keep alive Republican hopes for Congress in 2016, as the Trump movement tends to drift away from Republican themes. He has also discussed anti-poverty issues and immigration as part of his campaign, to offer alternatives to Trump's campaign appeal to the working class that also alienates minorities.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
