Senate panel will vote on bill to protect Mueller despite McConnell's opposition
Posted by: DarthVader || 04/19/2018 15:19 || Comments || Link || [4 views] Top|| File under:

#1  Grassley said he promised the bill's main sponsors — Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and Thom Tillis and Democrats Chris Coons and Cory Booker — that he would schedule a committee vote if they worked together to merge two bills to protect Mueller into one.

When the cold civil war goes hot, we have names on who were helping the soft coup to remove a legally elected president.

Cape Town International Airport Might Be Renamed After Mam' Winnie
[Huffpoo SA] Government says it is considering renaming the airport after a liberation hero and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's name is "an option".

It turns out that Julius Malema's call for Cape Town International Airport to be renamed after Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was not that far-fetched. According to Eyewitness News (EWN), plans are in place to change the name of the airport and Madikizela-Mandela's name is among those submitted as candidates.

The EFF leader called for the airport to be renamed after the struggle icon during his rousing speech at her funeral on Saturday.

The Airports Company of South Africa (Acsa) reportedly confirmed that Transport Minister Blade Nzimande directed it to facilitate name change for Cape Town International in March this year.

Transport ministry spokesperson Ishmael Mnisi reportedly told EWN that talks were underway with the department of arts and culture.
