Now that Speaker of the House John Boehner is gone, should Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell be next to vacate Capitol Hill? The stalwart “Trifecta” crew of Stephen Green, Bill Whittle and Scott Ott debate the future of the GOP on PJTV.
Jodi Miller reports that, “Pope Francis visited the White House last week, but His Holiness was confused by Vice-President Biden, who congratulated the Pope on the Cardinals having the best record in baseball.” Miller also zeroes in on President Obama, John Boehner, Xi Jinping, Scott Walker, Ben Carson and Caitlyn Jenner in this edition of NewsBusted.
In a stunning turn of events, Ohio congressman John Boehner has resigned as Speaker of the House. Boehner added that he will also leave his House seat at the end of October. “It became clear to me,” Boehner says, “that this prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable harm to the institution.” The Speaker had been under a wave of constant criticism from Tea Party conservatives and staunch GOP supporters for caving in to the demands of the Obama Administration.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
President Barack Obama continued his dangerous journey of placing politics before duty to the American people by summarily vetoing the Keystone XL Pipeline late this afternoon. The $8 billion project, which received strong support from the American public, would have provided much-needed work for thousands of construction workers across the heartland of America, bolstered Obama’s anemic economy and taken a giant step toward energy independence from the Middle East.
“By choosing to veto this piece of legislation, he is choosing Washington lobbyists and special interests over the needs and desires of the American people,” says Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso. Speaker of the House John Boehner called the veto a “national embarrassment.” The bill now goes back to Congress where the likelihood of an override is unlikely because of insufficient votes for the two-thirds majority needed in both houses. More from ABC News.
Jodie Miller reports, “President Obama is still defending his absence from the Paris unity march. Says it’s no big deal because Raul Castro didn’t go either.” Miller takes on John Kerry, James Taylor, Josh Earnest, Ohio ISIS plot, John Boehner and the National Enquirer in this edition of NewsBusted.
Spanning the globe this past week, Jodi Miller reports, “The Honolulu City Council has withdrawn a proposal to name a popular beach after President Obama. So instead, they will name an unpopular beach after him.” Also on Miller’s radar is the Chinese economy, Nielsen TV Ratings, Speaker John Boehner, Senator Mark Udall and the rising cost of coffee in this edition of NewsBusted.
“President Obama has attended nearly 400 fund-raisers since taking office,” Jodi Miller reports. “Wow! It’s amazing he finds time to play golf.” Miller also gets the blood flowing with features on John Boehner, record cold in Australia, Al Gore and Joe Biden in this edition of NewsBusted.
Wild Bill says that finally some progress was made against the corruption of the Obama Administration in the IRS scandal when agency official Lois Lerner was found in contempt of Congress. “So what’s the next step–nothing!” says Wild Bill. “John Boehner won reelection a few days ago, so he no longer has any reason to stand up against the IRS, other than his oath of office. And we see how seriously that oath is taken.”
“In economic news, America’s Gross Domestic Product grew only one-tenth of one percent last quarter,” says NewsBusted’s Jodi Miller. “The Obama Administration was quick to blame the poor economic growth on a anti-Islamic YouTube video.” In this edition of NewsBusted, Miller also touches on the Benghazi Scandal, Hillary Clinton, Cinco de Mayo, John Boehner and Donald Sterling.
Jodi Miller reports, “John Boehner told Jay Leno he won’t run for president because he’d have to give up wine, golf and cigarettes, to which President Obama responded, ‘Since when?'” In this edition of NewsBusted, Miller also features Mike Huckabee, Senator Chuck Schumer, Grammy Awards, Queen Latifah, Madonna, Wendy Davis and Richard Sherman.
