Bannon Threatened Elementary School Officials, Records Attest
... to an effort to obtain comment for this story. Bannon, a proponent of the “alt-right” movement that includes avowed white supremacists, served as executive chair of Breitbart News from 2012 until last August, when he was tapped as CEO of Trump’s presidential campaign. During his tenure, the website ran articles calling conservative commentator Bill Kristol a “renegade Jew” and Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum “a Polish, Jewish, American elitist scorned.”. The letter from Mecham of the Odyssey school stated that Bannon accepted his invitation to visit the school but was unpersuaded, reiterating that he would not pay for tuition and would sue Mecham and the school if the twins were enrolled. “He left in a very angry mood, threatening me once again with a suit, as he strongly placed the brochure and school ...
Trump's Chief Strategist Fashions Himself An Evil Nerd
... “keep its mouth shut,” but he also aligned himself with the Dark Side and shouted out Middle Earth. On the telephone, Mr. Bannon spoke in blunt but calm tones, peppered with a dose of profanities, and humorously referred to himself at one point as “Darth Vader. He said, with ironic relish, that Mr. Trump was elected by a surge of support from the working class hobbits and deplorables.”. Bannon has done this before. In November, he told The Hollywood Reporter that “darkness is good” before listing some of his role models. “Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power.”. It’s also not the first time he’s trotted out the “hobbits and deplorables” line. He used it while speaking to Breitbart News Daily last month. Or whatever the dystopian American version of Isengard is. So, yeah, Bannon likes ...
Bannon Was Registered To Vote In Two States
... elections officials on Nov. 7, one day before Election Day, asking that he be removed from the rolls because he had moved to New York. But when contacted by the Post Wednesday, Elections Supervisor Ron Turner said “none of us recall getting” the letter. Turner told the Post that after reading the reports of Bannon’s dual registration, he confirmed the Trump adviser’s New York registration and removed him from the Sarasota County rolls. The confusion illustrates how outdated registrations can remain listed on public rolls. There is no single system for voter registration records, the Post noted, so local election officials must rely on their counterparts in other states to help exchange and keep such information up to date. The Guardian said Bannon’s Florida registration listed a home belonging to Andy Badolato as his residence there. The Guardian said he changed his registration to Baldolato’s house in August, after it discovered that his registration address was an empty house ...
The Media Is The 'opposition Party
... Thursday, referring to them as the "opposition party" and saying the media should "keep its mouth shut" after its inability to understand why Trump won the presidency. Speaking to the New York Times , Bannon also tore into those who covered Trump's campaign day-to-day, calling them "outright activists" who supported former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 's failed presidential campaign. "The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for awhile," Bannon said. "I want you to quote this. The media here is the opposition party. They don't understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.". "The mainstream media has not fired or terminated anyone associated with following our campaign," Bannon said. "Look at the Twitter feeds of those people: They were outright activists of the Clinton campaign.".

Not too shabby. Kellyanne Conway. Conway was brought in by the Trump campaign to help soften his image, and she went on to become the first female campaign manager to ever win a presidential election.

Who Is Steve Bannon
... in general. Then Bannon critiques “objectivist” capitalism, which treats people as if they were only economic commodities. Fascinatingly, he draws the explicit parallel of this atheistic view of the human person with the same view found in the godless materialism of Marxism. And then, finally, he arrives at “enlightened” capitalism, that version which has as its moral underpinning the Judeo-Christian culture, where there is a moral responsibility to use the wealth one has for the common good, where the Almighty on Judgment Day will call us each to account for the fortune with which He has prospered us individually. I might add, that my reading of the totality of Steve's line of thought is that the onus is really on the individual to comport himself righteously, driven by his faith and a well-formed conscience, and that he’s not really looking to the state to force people to behave in a way it ...

Who cares about Tiffany Trump’s voter registration. A day after President Donald Trump issued a flurry of executive orders on major issues—and appeared in an ABC News interview in which he justified lying about voter fraud and served as his own state television propagandist —the cable networks are focused on perhaps the least significant news item of the past 24 hours: Tiffany Trump’s voter registration status. State election records show the president’s 23-year-old daughter is currently registered to vote in both New York City and Philadelphia, NBC News reported. (Until Wednesday, Steve Bannon was similarly registered in New York as well as Florida.). The relevance here is that Trump has pledged to investigate the nonexistent problem of widespread voter fraud in the United ...
Tiffany Trump, Steve Bannon, Steven Mnuchin All Registered To Vote In Two States
... registered to vote in the key swing state of Florida at an address where he had never lived — indeed, where no one lives. It was a vacant property. He’s also registered to vote at his New York apartment in Manhattan. Trump’s nominee to head the Treasury Department, Steven Mnuchin, is registered to vote in both New York and California, according to CNN’s KFile. Tiffany Trump, the president’s daughter, is registered in both Pennsylvania and New York. Guess it’s better than forgetting to register at all. Important to note: Being registered in two states, despite whatever the president tweets, isn’t illegal. It’s actually incredibly understandable and fairly commonplace. Millions of people are registered to vote in two states, either because it can be difficult to purge your old voter record (as Bannon insists was the case for him) or because you’re a college student attending school away from home (Tiffany went to school in Pittsburgh). There’s only an issue if you actually vote in both places, and there’s no evidence this occurs anywhere approaching a scale large enough to sway a presidential election, especially the most recent one, in which Hillary Clinton won by nearly ...

Trump’s Ex-breitbart Advisor Bannon Is Drafting Executive Orders
... XL pipeline, although the Canadian company vying for a permit to build the project is currently suing the U. S. for $15 billion. A former State Department lawyer who worked on the Keystone proposal said Trump’s order was “more than unusual, that’s reckless.”. A draft order that could potentially revive banned torture techniques reportedly “blindsided” Defense Secretary James Mattis and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, whose agencies would be expected to carry out those orders. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, on Wednesday denied the draft order on torture and so-called “black sites” had come from the White House. “It is not a White House document,” Spicer said. “I have no idea where it came from.”. GOP lawmakers complained they weren’t sure whether some of Trump’s executive orders, including his action to start the repeal of Obamacare, might conflict with existing laws because they hadn’t reviewed them. Others have pointed out that Trump’s executive order on immigration includes only vague language on where funding would come from and does not consider the role of Congress in approving those payments.

Steve Bannon Hires Breitbart Writer Julia Hahn, One Of Paul Ryan’s Fiercest Critics, As A White House Aide
... 13, 2016, in West Allis, Wis. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)(Credit: AP). White House strategist Steve Bannon, who was best known as executive chair of Breitbart News before becoming CEO of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, has now hired one of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s personal trolls as a White House staffer. Right-wing commentator Julia Hahn, who will serve as an aide to Bannon as he fulfills his role of White House strategist, has accused Ryan of fleeing “grieving moms trying to show him photos of their children killed by his open borders agenda” and claimed that he was secretly leading a “months-long campaign to elect Hillary Clinton,” according to The Washington Post on Monday. “She’ll be Bannon’s Bannon and make Bannon look moderate,” said conservative writer and editor at large of the Weekly Standard William Kristol when talking to The Post. “Her tendency is to fight and fight, often to the extreme.”. The Post also claims that “a number of House Republicans” confided to the newspaper that they believe Bannon’s hiring of Hahn is a sign that he could go on ...
