California Mayor Curbs Self Over Dog Poop Incident
[BREITBART] The doo-doo has gotten too deep for the mayor of a wealthy Los Angeles suburb who flung dog poop onto a political opponent's property.

The Pasadena Star-News (http://bit.ly/1kLDwcZ ) reports San Marino Mayor Dennis Kneier resigned Tuesday after outcry from residents who say he smeared their image.
...on somebody's lawn...
Kneier remains on the City Council. Councilman Eugene Sun will serve as mayor.
"Your turn in the barrel, Eugene!"
Kneier found the bag of dog waste June 7 and tossed it onto the walkway of political opponent Philip Lao. Lao recognized the mayor on surveillance video and called police. Video of the incident went viral.
"Heh. Take that, Lao!"
"That that, camera!"

In his resignation letter, Kneier says his actions were inconsiderate and disrespectful and he's stepping down because the event continues to be embarrassing to him and to the city.
Today's the day for stories that stink.

Democrat says he's leading black GOTV effort for Cochran
[CLARIONLEDGER] A Democratic wardheeler says he is working with Mississippi Conservatives PAC to drum up votes for U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran.

James "Scooby Doo" Warren said he has put together a get-out-the-vote (GOTV) plan and is "putting it in place across the whole state." Warren said he is not working with the Cochran campaign itself but for the PAC and Bishop Ronnie Crudup Sr.

Crudup is the pastor at New Horizon Church, which shares an address and chief financial officer with a newly formed super PAC that ran print advertising in the primary supporting Cochran.

When asked if he was getting any blow back for working in a Republican primary, Warren said he "got all that taken care of on the front end."

"I called D.C. and told them what was going on with the tea party," Warren said. "But I can't do anything after the 24th because I'm a Democrat ... Whoever wins will have to deal with me in November."

He would not say who he called in D.C.

But Mississippi Democratic Party Chairman Rickey Cole said he doesn't like the idea of Democrats "crossing over to vote for the weaker candidate" in a Republican primary.

"I think Democrats ought to vote for a Democratic nominee, Republicans ought to vote for a Republican nominee, and independents ought to wait until November," Cole said Tuesday.

#1  With allies like these, the GOP doesn't need enemies. Cochran is a disgrace as is his campaign, desperately clinging to power, and scare to death to have an independent voice that might rock the boat. Rot in hell you GOP establishment fuckers - I hope you LOSE big time so that you are out of work, and so that the primary opponent can get to DC and cut your type off at the knees.

John Boehner 'controlled by Zionists': Ex-US presidential candidate
[Iran Press TV] US politicians that oppose the idea to work with Iran to restrain the recent crisis in Iraq are "controlled by Zionists" that place the interest of Israel ahead of their country, the 2012 US presidential candidate says.

US House Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner
... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans...
said on Wednesday that he does not think the United States should reach out to Iran for help in defeating Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed...
hard boyz that have started fighting the Iraqi government since last week.

Asked whether he agreed with some other politicians that the United States should hold talks with Iran over the crisis in Iraq, Boehner said: "No, absolutely not."

"People like Boehner and others who are advocating that we not work with Iran for peace, I think they're coming from a perspective of being controlled by Zionist influencers," said Merlin Lloyd Miller, an independent film director, writer, and producer.

These people are "Israeli firsters that don't want a relationship with the United States and Iran to improve," Miller told Press TV on Wednesday.

However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
it's "in everybody's best interest" that America and Middle Eastern nations, including Iran, work together to resolve Iraq's crisis, he added.

On Tuesday, a number of high-ranking Democratic officials urged US President Barack Obama
I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go...
to consider military strikes against the positions of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original...
(ISIL) which has taken control of some key Iraqi cities since last week.

The hard boyz have vowed to continue their offensive towards the capital Storied Baghdad and beyond.

The United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
Security Council has recently condemned the attacks on Iraqi cities by the hard boyz who have forced over 500,000 people in and around djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
to flee, according to Geneva-based International Organization for Migration.

American society glorifies, enshrines violence: Researcher
[Iran Press TV] American society has "glorified and "enshrined violence" committed by whites against African Americans and other minorities throughout its history, a researcher and historian in Washington says.

"The real opposition to gun ownership in this country tends to be with guns in the hands of people of color, particularly African Americans," said Randy Short.

"We have a double standard in this country," Short told Press TV in a phone interview on Wednesday.

Both violent and white-collar crimes tend to be committed by whites, who usually go unpunished by the US justice system, he noted. "We have a society that enshrines violence."

Short criticized Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edward Everett ...
's recent "hypocritical" comments about the need to ban semi-automatic rifles, or so-called assault rifles as well as high-capacity magazines which would help reduce gun violence in the United States.

"She's was one of the most hawkish politicians in the country. It's completely hypocritical for her to come out and have this attitude that she's somehow anti-gun. She's pro-gun. It just depends on who's being shot."

Iraq
Jay Carney: Obama 'Paying Close Attention' To Iraq While Golfing
[BREITBART] White House Press Secretary Jay Carney explained that President B.O. is fully engaged in the situation in Iraq -- even though he spent last weekend golfing.

Carney was asked about former Vice President Dick Cheney's op-ed in The Wall Street Journal criticizing the President for golfing instead of paying attention to world affairs.

"I think it's pretty clear that this President has been paying close attention to this and has been engaging regularly with his national security team," Carney said, praising Obama for deliberating carefully about the use of force in Iraq.

Karl cited the op-ed which asserted that "rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many" on foreign policy.

"Which president was he talking about?" snarked Carney in response, as news hounds chuckled.

Carney said that Cheney had the right to voice his opinion but that the B.O. regime had different views about Iraq.

#15  Tin Foil Hat time:

I've heard several mention the NSA's capability to sort out the Lois Lerner e-mail debacle. What if the roots of this thing go much deeper than a handful of Dem [or Pub] politicians? I'm not certain if it's still in operation, but the IRS used to have something called the IRS Financial Center or FINCIN. IRS FINCIN had a global financial intelligence and crime prevention mission which enjoyed a broad liaison capability within each of the national agencies. Lerner was obviously placed high enough to leverage the capabilities of FINCIN if necessary.

Cal Health Department A No-Show At Yuba County Mobile Home Park With Flammable Water
[SACRAMENTO.CBSLOCAL] LINDA (CBS13) -- Residents at a Yuba County mobile home park were told they would finally get answers from the state health department on Tuesday, but the inspector sent to check their water never showed.

Water from the hose at the Castlewood Mobile Home Park doesn't look much different from one from any old tap, but after a closer look, you'll think twice before taking a sip.

Rhonda Little demonstrated the methane levels in her water by pouring a glass and setting it on fire.
Their water is methanated?
"Just want a safe living environment, that all I want," she said. "Safe drinking water, and they aren't providing it to us."
"Instead, it's full of farts."
The filtration system that takes the methane out of the water at the mobile home park broke in April. Since then, neighbors have been too scared to turn on the shower.

"When you have that spitting in your face, you are in that little closed area and you have that methane coming through and sometimes you get a little dizzy," Little said.

CBS13 was at the park three weeks ago when the manager told us the water was safe to drink.
"Sure. Just let it burn off and it's fine."
Since that time the Yuba County Environmental Health Department backed that claim in a letter to neighbors, writing the water is free of harmful bacteria, but in that same letter it says the water could be dangerous.
"Just keep a fire extinguisher handy."
The letter instructs homeowners to keep doors and windows open, don't smoke inside and report any dizziness and fatigue. Failure to do so could be deadly.

A state health department inspector was supposed to meet with neighbors at the mobile home park at 2 p.m., but he never showed.

Jindal issues orders to sever Common Core ties
[POLITICO] Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal issued executive orders Wednesday to withdraw the state from the Common Core standards and federally subsidized standardized tests, defying his state legislature, his superintendent of education and the business community -- but endearing himself to tea party activists across the country who could be influential in early primary states if he chooses to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.

"We want out of Common Core," Jindal said at a presser. "We're very alarmed about choice and local control of curriculum being taken away from our parents and educators. It is never too late to make the right decision."

Director of National Intelligence Celebrates LGBT Pride Month: 'What The Intel Community Is About'
[WEEKLYSTANDARD] In line with President Obama's official proclamation of June as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month," the banner headlining the website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Wednesday proclaims the agency's celebration of the same, noting, "It's also about what the IC is about: integration."
I see yer problem...
The graphic contains a quote from a March speech given by director James Clapper at the Intelligence Community (IC) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Allies (LGBTA) Summit which was held this year at the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland:
[T]his isn't just about what's altruistically right. It's also about what the IC is about: integration. It means having and using a widely diverse workforce, and taking advantage of all those great intellects we have, while removing as many frustrations and distractions as possible. So -- it's not just about what's right. It's about good business in our profession.
