Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn on "one reason why the Obama administration runs rampant."

Excerpt from Larry Arnn from a conversation with Hugh Hewitt:

• Madison says that the way separation of powers works is that each branch defends its own prerogative. And I actually think they haven’t done that enough. And so I wish they would do more. I think Boehner has tried to do more, and I’ll even list what I think they need to do. Part of this is taken from a really great speech by Chris DeMuth of the Hudson Institute at our Constitution Day celebrations in Washington last week. They need to appropriate. So Congress really does two kinds of bills. One is authorizing things to happen, and the other is assigning the money for them to happen. And they haven’t been doing that second thing. Not only do they seldom have budgets, although the Republicans are better at that, they also need to have appropriations bills that assign in detail where the money goes. And then that sets them up to have oversight hearings to influence what happens in the Executive Branch. Instead, they pass these continuing resolutions, which means basically, the government keeps spending as it did before. And there have been so many of them in a row for so long that now the categories are all mixed up, and the Executive Branch is liberated to do even more than it has the massive power to do. So they should, they didn’t get it done this year. They set out to do it. Boehner announced that he was going to try to do it, and Mitch McConnell, too, but it fizzled, and they didn’t get it done. And that’s one reason why the Obama administration runs rampant.

Air Traffic Controllers Seek Revenge by Petitioning to Rename Ronald Reagan Airport

All I can say is "get over it." Although it's not clear whether they want revenge against Reagan or Boehner. 

The petition, started by Credo Action,  has received about 60,000 signatures reads:

• "...Republicans in Congress themselves pushed through legislation renaming an airport already named after America’s first president, George Washington. And unlike President Obama’s decision, which honors the local people and culture surrounding that landmark, the renaming of Washington National airport was met with resistance from local Virginia residents and leaders. It was also strongly opposed by airport workers themselves, given President Reagan’s role in breaking the air traffic controllers’ union and mass firing 11,000 workers.3, 4 Renaming the airport also resulted in significant costs that were left to local government in Virginia to cover.5
  Given Speaker Boehner’s current outrage and disappointment at President Obama’s decision to rename Mount McKinley, it’s time to give him the opportunity to make up for his own past mistakes. Sign the petition and tell John Boehner he needs to be consistent when it comes to naming America’s landmarks."

In Desperation, Planned Parenthood Claims Videos are "fraud based on a web of lies & deception."

The videos speak for themselves. But so does abortion. It can only make sense if you can make a case for cold actually being hot, the moon actually being the sun, and truth actually being lies.

 

Associated Press Reported:

Planned Parenthood Federation of America defended its practices Thursday in a lengthy letter to congressional leaders and included a report by experts it hired who found undercover videos of officials discussing fetal tissue for research were heavily altered by anti-abortion activists.

The report supports the organization's claims that the secretly recorded videos were distorted to misrepresent conversations employees had with anti-abortion activists posing as biomedical company employees interested in buying fetal tissue, Planned Parenthood said.
The letter and report were the most detailed defense to date by Planned Parenthood, which has come under fire from conservatives since the California-based Center for Medical Progress began releasing a series of undercover videos last month.

"It's increasingly clear that this attack on Planned Parenthood is a fraud based on a web of lies and deception," Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens told reporters.
Four congressional committees are investigating Planned Parenthood's practices, and lawmakers unsuccessfully tried to strip the organization of federal funding.
Some conservatives are vowing to vote down must-pass legislation to fund the federal government this fall unless it strips money for the organization, raising the specter of a government shutdown over the issue.
A spokeswoman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said a letter from Planned Parenthood isn't going to satisfy Congress.

"House committees have been investigating all of the participants involved in these horrific practices and building a strong case," spokeswoman Emily Schillinger said. "The American people deserve the facts - not PR releases."

Caddell: Up to one-third of Republicans are ready to call it quits as members of the GOP.

Fox News contributor and Democratic pollster Pat Caddell told Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon that up to one-third of Republicans are ready to call it quits as members of the GOP.

“The alienation among Republican voters is so high,” says Caddell, that conservatively “a quarter to one-third of the Republican party are hanging by a thread from bolting.” Caddell argues that GOP voters’ attitudes are “so anti-establishment,” and they give Republican leadership poor ratings.

The revelation comes on the heels of polling data supervised by Caddell Associates and reported on Friday by Breitbart News that a stupefying 60% of Republicans who voted in the November elections either definitely or probably want someone other than Ohio Congressman Rep. John Boehner (R-OH to be the Speaker of the House
