that Speaker John Boehner should step aside.
Written by Chad Groening & Billy Davis
“John Boehner needs to step down rather than be forced out of office. He’s done a terrible job as Speaker,” says Phil Burress, chairman of Citizens for Community Values.
Burress lives in Boehner’s congressional district, the 8th District, which Boehner has represented since 1991. He has served as Speaker since 2011.
Burress shared his views with OneNewsNow as news came this week that some Republicans in the House are again opposing Boehner’s re-election as Speaker.… Continue Reading
Shattered Consensus: The Rise and Decline of America’s Postwar Political Order by James Pierson may be one of the best books ever written on American political history. It traces the evolution of both political parties from the aftermath of World War I to the present. What is especially interesting is how, following the death of John F. Kennedy, the Democratic Party turned away from traditional liberalism, when Democrats still believed in American exceptionalism. … Continue Reading
At a National Press Club event in Washington D.C. on Thrusday, Louisiana Governor and GOP presidential candidate Bobby Jindal took on billionaire and GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
Gov. Jindal began his statements saying, “I want to say what everyone is thinking about Donald Trump but is afraid to say.” Jindal went on to say, “He is shallow, there is no substance. He doesn’t know anything about policy, he has no idea what he is talking about.… Continue Reading

The Mercatus Center at George Mason University just completed a study of the financial health of each state in the country. Considering debt, pensions, and health-care costs, they’ve ranked them in order of fiscal solvency.
Here is a map showing the overall ranking of the states [click on the maps to zoom]:
The rankings are based on relative economic stability based upon five separate categories:
Cash Solvency – Can the state cover short term bills?
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) will honor former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with this year’s Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Center. The award will be presented to Clinton on September 10th, the eve of the first anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States mission in Benghazi that killed four Americans.
The Christian Science Monitor reports that Bush, a potential GOP contender in the 2016 presidential race, is chairman of the board of trustees of the National Constitution Center located in Philadelphia.… Continue Reading
After 11 years of hiding and hinting, the real Barack Obama is back.
The guy who spent twenty years listening to Reverend Jeremiah Wright preach the gospel of racial hostility has decided it is just too much trouble to keep his black-on-white resentment all bottled up.
So the president put it on full display last week at the eulogy for the pastor who was a victim in the Charleston mass murder.
And what we saw was quite a bit different than the fresh-faced, new-vision, ‘put race behind us’ guy who electrified the country with his speech to the Democrat National Convention in 2004.… Continue Reading
We all know the famous Republican Jeb! (as his campaign seems eager to avoid use of his last name and believes an exclamation point will get people excited about him, I’ll indulge that wish) who is now an immediate heavyweight in the Republican primary after his long-expected announcement for president.
