Rand Paul accuses fellow Senator Ted Cruz of sour grapes.  Trey Gowdy rumored to be leaving Congress at the end of his term. Planned Parenthood takes a beating at this week's Congressional hearing, while House members jockey for the Speaker's position. The budget, the fiscal cliff, the ignored Pentagon plan. Putin's move in Syria. That and more with our Capitol Hill Insider Elizabeth Letchworth Chryst.

Today began the opening hearing on the baby parts selling practices of Planned Parenthood. 

That... and more.

Obama gets bested by Putin.

Trump reveals his tax plan.

And we kick off another week.

The Divine Miss B has something to say about Pope Francis' visit to the United States and what he told Americans.

"I just had a conversation with someone a few hours ago about how incredibly dark these days are, and how A.) we should implore our Blessed Lord to arise from His slumber on the fantail of the boat and save us from these heretical/apostate jackals and B.) how Our Lord will surely give His Remnant Church a “trail of breadcrumbs” so that we can know where we need to be and where His Church is so that we can stay close to Him."

A busy week for Congress - but what exactly did they accomplish?

 

Capitol Hill Insider Elizabeth Letchworth Chryst with the latest.

Trump, Carson, Rubio, Fiorina... names that are becoming as familiar as our own.  The story behind Scott Walker's drop out of the race.  Hillary is sick. Too sick for the presidency? And the Pope arrives after circling the field waiting on His Nibs.

A day filled with headlines. A show filled with discussion.

Oh my, where to begin?

Muslims in the White House.  A fang-bearing media. A GOP establishment class desperately trying to outwit Trump.

So much to say.  Ninety minutes in which to say it.

Well, I stayed up late last night, watched all three hours of the CNN GOP Presidential debate and have plenty to say about it. My on-the-fly observations here, but tonight we'll get into more detail on my radio program.   Elizabeth B. Letchworth, joins in tonight with her assessment.

All the political pundits are wondering: How is it possible that little known neurosurgeon and political outsider Ben Carson keeps showing up at the top of the presidential polls and is now tied for first place with Donald Trump?

Now two years later, with $20 million total raised, 147,000 individual donors, 31,000 volunteers and full-time staffed offices in Iowa and New Hampshire, a Carson spokesman put it best recently when he said:

[Carson} is benefitting from the "Run Ben Run" 2016 Committee that has been building support on the activist level for over a year.

"What is magical about them is they got an 18 month start over practically everyone else in the race with the exception of Hillary Clinton. It is sort of a silent surprise for us and from what I have seen they have put together a pretty effective organization.

2016 Committee National Director Bill Saracino will talk tonight about this incredible story and the large grassroots "Win Ben Win" support network they have built across America to propel Ben Carson to the White House.

'We can't take any more!'

Trump kills it on Late Night, and continues his meteoric rise in the polls.  But is that a good thing?
