[FOXNEWS] Missouri Senate leaders announced Tuesday that Democratic state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal has been stripped of her committee assignments, just two days after she tried to calm the controversy with a public apology.
Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo drew a bead on his old enemy and squeezed the trigger... the state’s Republican lieutenant governor, Mike Parson, on Tuesday called for the Senate to go into special session to expel Chappelle-Nadal from the body.
"I do not make this request of you lightly, but you and I know it is the right course of action to take for the people of Missouri," Parson wrote in a letter to members of the Missouri Senate.
Republican Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard and Minority Leader Gina Walsh on Tuesday both rescinded the politician’s nine committee assignments, with Richard saying in a brief statement: "I support the decision of Senate Minority Leader Gina Walsh to remove Sen. Chappelle-Nadal from all of her Senate committees. I am also removing her from all appointments under my authority."

[NBCSanDiego] A lawsuit taken out by debt collectors for National City continues against the Bernie Sanders campaign.
The costs are from a rally at Kimball Park on May 21, shortly before California's presidential primary.
"There was a number of requirements from secret service and the campaign that the city needed to provide," said Mayor Ron Morrison Tuesday. "We could not go less than what the secret service was requiring. So we had to bring in police on overtime and Public Works on overtime. So the only thing that we are asking for is what those costs were."
The mayor said after late fees are factored in, the Bernie Sanders campaign now owes over $31,000 to National City.
Mayor Morrison said after delivering an invoice and several calls, correspondence was not returned. National City is kind of a funny little place just to the south and next door to San Diego, not exactly upscale but it has some desirable bay front property. I'm sure Bernie had a lot of supporters there.

[Iran Press TV] It takes a “fit of pique” for US President Donald Trump to start a nuclear war against North Korea, says the former director of national intelligence, arguing that the country’s nuclear system is designed for a “rapid response.”
James Clapper appeared on CNN on Wednesday to make the comments.
"The whole system is built to ensure rapid response if necessary. So there's very little in the way of controls over exercising a nuclear option, which is pretty damn scary," he said.
The retired lieutenant general in the United States Air Force voiced concerns about Trump’s access to the nuclear codes.
"In a fit of pique he decides to do something about [North Korean leader] Kim Jong Un, there's actually very little to stop him," said Clapper, who served under former President Barack Obama.
It seems to me that being careful to not annoy the man whose finger is on that very responsive button would be a wise course of action, but admittedly it's an area in which I lack expertise.
He further questioned Trump’s fitness for office calling his defiant speech in Phoenix, Arizona, earlier in the day "downright scary and disturbing."

In accordance with his own logic, maybe Clapper ought to keep his mouth shut.

Brennan, Clapper, Hayden, Plame and other Klingon alum are relentless in their condemnation of Trump, and rightly so. They've obviously missed him in the power and political compromise. He's on to their 'regime change' and 'endless wars' secret budget bullshi*.

The last half a year reminds me of the book Dune. House Atreides takes over Arrakis and has to deal with traps and suicidal idiots that House Harkonnen left behind.
It is very unamerican. In a better world the media would say as much but then again I did mention suicidal idiots didn't I, because they are destroying their own profession.

It's always been scary. Joe Stalin with his finger on the button? Khrushchev? Mao? Pudgy? Pervy Musharref? Lyndon Johnson the psychopath? Bill Clinton while he was being serviced by one of his interns? Obama?
Seems to me they used to say the same sort of things about Ronald Reagan. Yeah, it's scary but you must be brave.
But even scarier is major television news organizations giving air time to a lying, hateful, unhinged sonofabitch like Clapper.

Would Clapper feel better if Hil da beast were at the helm? This woman who gave way to fits of rage, binge drinking and barked like a dog? Clapper still carrying water for the Deep State rather than the American people? Who does he elected Trump?
[Iran Press TV] The United States was founded on racism by European settlers and President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... has fueled the racial violence by white supremacist groups, an African American journalist in bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... says.
Racism and white supremacy is "coming from the top down, it is coming from people who control the means of production, who control the White House and the Congress," said Abayomi Azikiwe, Editor of Pan-African News Wire.
He is also a Detroit organizer of the Workers World Party, one of the Marxist-Leninist revolutionary parties -- sort of a multiple threat.
Trump "utilizes and fuels racism and white supremacy, and other forms of bigotry ... [and] is very much in tune with these racists, xenophobic and pro-capitalists sentiments," Azikiwe said in an interview with Press TV on Wednesday.
"The United States itself, as a nation state, was founded on racism and genocide," he said.

Yep. in the same way Israel fuels Antisemitism. You scum: whether (white bread) black supremacists or pseudo-educated with their bigotry toward less credentialed educated; just can't bear not getting your own way.
p.s. Abayomi, ever occur to you and your pals that you don't actually have anything but white guilt, and what we already reached the peak of it some time ago?

The WWP-They are a nice bunch. They proudly claim to be internationalists to the core. In other words communists to the core ala Obama. They are not looking out for our better interests.
[IsraelTimes] Valerie Plame Wilson is trying to crowdfund enough money to purchase the social media platform, and ban the US president from it
I thought she was supposed to be smart. Clearly she hasn't considered why the current owners of Twitter have not already done this.
Former undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson is looking to crowdfund enough money to buy Twitter so US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... can’t use it.
Wilson launched the fundraiser last week, tweeting: "If @Twitter executives won’t shut down Trump’s violence and hate, then it’s up to us. #BuyTwitter #BanTrump."
The GoFundMe page for the fundraiser with a billion-dollar goal says Trump’s tweets "damage the country and put people in harm’s way."
She says she hopes the fundraiser will allow her to buy enough Twitter stock for a controlling interest in the company.
As of Wednesday morning, she had raised less than $6,000 of the billion-dollar goal.
Adorable.
Wilson’s identity as a CIA operative was leaked by an official in former president George W. Bush’s administration in 2003.
...though not the one who went to jail for it.
That's because she wasn't a clandestine operative. She was likely (moving about with her Ambassador hubby) an employee of various Chiefs of Station (COS) enjoying Official Cover (OC). Party-going wives of Diplomats in 'true name' make pi** poor clandestine operatives. The host country already assumes they are soiled.
She left the agency in 2005. Come now, no one ever really 'leaves.' So if they don't raise quite a billion dollars, does she get to keep what they do raise? If so, I wanna buy it, too. My goal is a billion and a quarter so I can outbid her. Clapper really jumped the shark yesterday. I thought he was a retired flag officer. Evidently he's a psychiatrist as well.

Well OK then he will have to send Presidential texts to all phones nation wide thingy Obama came out with every time the media lies about something.
1. raise a billion $. (cue video of snowball fights in Hell)
2. buy a controlling interest in Twitter.
3. ban Trump.
4. watch stock price go to zero.
5. spend the rest of your life being sued by stockholders.
If he is, he is subject to active duty recall and the UCMJ article about disparaging remarks about the C-in-C. Tread lightly.
Article 88 Contempt toward officials
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
