Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell weighed in on the Washington Nationals’ disappointing 2015 season at a Monday Politico breakfast.

The House approved a bill Tuesday that would make the defunding of Planned Parenthood easier in the states themselves.

The political action committee founded by Ronald Reagan called for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to resign as House Speaker John Boehner did last Friday, so a constitutional conservative can take McConnell’s place leading the Senate.

GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson is standing by his opinion that House Speaker John Boehner’s resignation “will be a good thing.”

Sen. Ted Cruz is excoriating the Republican leadership in the House and Senate for failing to “lift a finger to defend life” by eliminating taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. Cruz’s speech on the Senate floor comes as the lawmakers voted, 77-19, to advance a bill to authorize government spending that includes funding for Planned Parenthood.

The blocked legislation, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is based on scientific evidence that has shown that unborn babies at least at 20 weeks after fertilization can feel the pain associated with being destroyed during an abortion. The Senate voted 54-42 to advance the legislation, a count that fell short of the 60 votes needed.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seems to want two things: to avoid a government shutdown and to relieve himself of pressure from pro-life conservatives who want Planned Parenthood defunded after revelations of its organ harvesting practices.

Even after the release of a tenth video further exposing Planned Parenthood’s booming business in the sale of aborted baby parts, House Republican leaders who claim to be horrified at the abortion giant’s practices are still hesitant to eliminate its federal funding from a temporary spending bill for fear of being blamed by Democrats and the liberal media for a government shutdown.

Echoing McConnell’s words, the Ohio Governor said in New Hampshire Saturday and then argued on Fox News Sunday, that President Obama would veto any spending bill that transfers funds from Planned Parenthood to women’s healthcare facilities that do not perform abortions. Kasich warns that could make Republicans vulnerable if the government subsequently shuts down.

House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy has scheduled a vote for the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015 for Friday, September 18, despite opposition from the Senate’s GOP leadership.

Though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Congress is without means to defund Planned Parenthood until a new president is in the White House, leading House Republicans still plan to schedule a vote to end taxpayer support for the nation’s largest abortion provider when House members return to Washington next week.

In a tweet, Rep. Tim Huelskamp is calling out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for his statement that his first priority when he returns to Washington will be to fund the government. McConnell said this Congress will not defund Planned Parenthood at the expense of ensuring the government remains funded and open.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that without a president “with a different point of view about Planned Parenthood,” defunding the abortion industry giant would have to wait until 2017.

“This is one of the greatest illustrations of the butchery, if you will, of our culture and the literal attack on words to call what happens in a Planned Parenthood clinic ‘health,’” Limbaugh said. “Whether you preface it by saying women’s health or whatever, there’s nothing healthy going on in here.”

Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) accused Senate Republicans Wednesday of enacting a “long-term smear campaign” to defund Planned Parenthood in the wake of shocking undercover videos demonstrating the abortion organization’s involvement in the sale of aborted baby organs.

Amid moves around the country to banish Confederate flags from public view and remove statues of Confederate leaders from prominent places, an online petition to rename Virginia’s Jefferson Davis Highway has been launched.

In the wake of the anti-Confederate hysteria that swept the country following the heinous June 17 attack on a black church in Charleston that killed 9, California state senator Sen. Steve Glazer (D-Orinda) has put forward a bill to ban the use of Confederate names for “schools, buildings and other public facilities.”

On June 26 the Gettysburg National Military Park bookstore announced they have removed items from shelves “featuring the Confederate flag” and will no longer sell such products.

“Our goal is to get [Trade Promotion Authority] and [Trade Adjustment Assistance] to the president’s desk this week and deliver this win for the American people,” Boehner said in a statement Tuesday morning.
