Missouri’s Republican-led Senate has now passed a bill to ban abortions at eight weeks of pregnancy.
Senators approved the legislation 24-10 early Thursday with just hours left before a Friday deadline to pass bills. It needs at least one more vote of approval in the GOP-led House before it can go to Republican Gov. Mike Parson, who voiced support for it on Wednesday.
Parson called on state senators to take action, joining a movement of GOP-dominated state legislatures emboldened by the possibility that a more conservative Supreme Court could overturn its landmark ruling legalizing the procedure. Their vote came only hours after Alabama’s governor signed the most stringent abortion ban in the nation on Wednesday, making performing an abortion a felony in nearly all cases.
The Missouri proposal includes exceptions for medical emergencies, but not for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Doctors would face five to 15 years in prison for violating the eight-week cutoff. Women who receive abortions at eight weeks or later into a pregnancy wouldn’t be prosecuted.
I propose that women who cannot get an abortion put a politicians name down as the person responsible for medical care &, if Male, put that name as the father on the birth certificate. Seems only fair since they are so concerned for these babies.
Strange that Felx Sater would have Osama bin Laden’s tel number and that HE provided it to the US government…You can a judge a man by the numbers in his rolodex I suppose.
Phenomenally good news…
Our contributor to WTFJHT @rusticgorilla is joining Forensic News Net (link below) and will be tracking those who have left the current administration…We will always be looking out for her fact-finding missions as she does a fantastic job in getting the facts straight.
Congratulations! 
Re-upping a mini-profile of Adrienne Cobb AKA @rusticgorilla that was highlighted by @dragonfly9 and @matt back in February.
If you haven’t seen this, I really encourage you to tune in. A glimpse into Cobb’s intrepid news sleuthing is inspiring. She’s a dynamo and is on the case. Watching the free press at work, especially a truth warrior like Cobb, gives me hope!
This story is wild, and includes this tidbit:
The documents contained proposals for several ways to further exacerbate racial discord in the future, including a suggestion to recruit African-Americans and transport them to camps in Africa “for combat prep and training in sabotage.” Those recruits would then be sent back to America to foment violence and work to establish a pan-African state in the Southern U.S., including South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Irony unleashed
And then there is this, which includes Kris Kobach’s list of 10 demands to become Immigration Czar.
Kris Kobach’s Conditions for Becoming Immigration Czar
Mr. Kobach submitted the following list of demands during discussions for an administration post.
1. Office in the West Wing. 2. Walk-in privileges with the president. 3. Assistant to the President rank - at highest pay level for WH senior staff. 4. Staff of 7 people (2 attorneys, 2 research analysts, 1 scheduler, 1 media person, 1 assistant). 5. POTUS sits down individually with Czar and the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Ag, Interior, and Commerce, and tells each of the Secretaries to follow the directives of the Czar without delay, subject to appeal to the President in cases of disagreement. 6. 24/7 access to either a DHS or DOD jet. Czar must be on the border every week. 7. Ability to spend weekends in KS with family on way from border back to DC, unless POTUS needs Czar elsewhere. 8. Security detail if deemed necessary after security review. 9. Serve as the face of Trump immigration policy - the principal spokesman on television and in the media. 10. Promise that by November 1, 2019, the president will nominate Kris Kobach to be DHS Secretary, unless Kobach wishes to continue in Czar position.

Funny what is brought up here…Jones Day, the law firm where Don McGahn has returned has been paid $2million from the RNC…perhaps there is a keep your mouth closed clause.
Here’s who’s been at Jones Day and also part of the Administration

And here is video of utter clown and incompetent Ben Carson, Trump’s Housing Secretary, being schooled by Rep. Katie Porter over the difference between REOs (a basic real estate term) and Oreo Cookies.
Seriously. Ben Carson Thinks ‘REO,’ a Basic Housing Term, Is an Oreo Cookie
And here is further video if him getting destroyed by @RepBeatty as he confuses Amway with OMWI (Office of Minority Women and Inclusion)…
…even though she asked him about this a year ago.
This man was a brain surgeon. Was he his own patient?
Sigh. This story keeps getting dumber.
And here is Ben Carson refusing to answer yes-or-no questions for @RepPressley because he probably doesn’t know the answers, so she reclaims her time…
…and then he tries to do that. Which is not a thing non-congress members can do.
I thought this article was a parody at first.
It is not.
And the parallels are so very, very eerie.
Kelly Anne giving some shade to Speaker Pelosi…WTF
In what may be one of her most blatantly stupid lies yet, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is claiming that the Trump Tantrum that was timed for when he was supposed to be in his Infrastructure Week meeting with Pelosi and Schumer, for which signs were posted well ahead of time, and to which reporters were specifically summoned without explanation in the Rose Garden, was NOT premeditated.
Yeah.
Right.
A shame if true. Though not Trump actions, it relates in that it’s taking advantage of those opposing him:
A fun little article that puts all of the Infrastructure Weeks, sans the most recent one, in perspective:
Two disturbing articles that affect future weather disasters:
I am with George Conway Iii
Katie Rogers wrote a great piece on the running gag that we call “infrastructure week”.
At this point in the Trump presidency, “Infrastructure Week” is less a date on the calendar than it is a “Groundhog Day”-style fever dream doomed to be repeated.
