Is Steve Bannon more dangerous outside the White House than in? And dangerous to whom?
As long as he was in the White House, no matter how much Bannon’s freelancing annoyed President Trump and senior staffers, he was part of the Trump machinery and subject to a modicum of discipline. Now, Bannon is out.
He’s organizing an electoral machine to Trump’s right, and certainly to the right of the Republican Senate leadership—and he hopes to bring that leadership down. For Bannon, the victory in the Alabama Senate primary of former Judge Roy Moore over Mitch McConnell’s favorite, incumbent Luther Strange, was just the beginning.Speaking after Moore defeated Strange, Bannon declared, “This is a populist nationalist conservative revolt. It’s a revolt against the elites in this country. It’s a revolt against the globalists among those elites.

Having written up an interview with Bannon in mid-August that helped push him out of the White House, I began thinking that maybe Bannon was happier out than in. A journalist friend confirmed that hunch. So I asked Bannon for a second interview. He was please

to oblige.

Their At It Again!


San Francisco liberals are looking for the next Jon Ossoff to throw millions at.
New billboards popping up in greater Atlanta and Northwest Georgia this week will have a different sort of message than the typical plugs for local eateries and colleges: run for office.
The site lets users mulling a run for office post their policy pitches and solicit pledges from potential donors. The candidates see the money only if they formally jump into the race.
This isn't Crowdpac's first foray into Georgia. The left-leaning Atlanta super PAC My Ride to Vote used the site to crowdfund more than $75,000 to give free rides to the polls to "traditionally underrepresented" voters during the 6th Congressional District special election earlier this year.

Judge Moore WINS! With 55% of the Alabama Vote,
Luther Strange goes down in defeat with only 45%!

When Sen. Jeff Sessions became US Attorney General, his senate seat was given to Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange. Strange, Rep. Mo Brooks and Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore faced each other in the GOP primary to win Sessions senate seat. Since none of candidates received 50% of the vote, a runoff primary was required under Alabama law. This runoff featured Strange, who was backed by President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the NRA versus Moore who had the backing of conservatives.
That runoff primary took place yesterday and Alabama’s Republicans spoke out against Trump and McConnell by choosing Moore to face Doug Jones, the Democratic challenger, in a December general election. Moore won 55% to 45%.
Donald Trump’s pick in the Alabama Republican Senate runoff crashed to defeat Tuesday against a populist former judge, likely sending shock-waves through establishment Washington and denting the president’s influence over his restless political base.
The result is an embarrassing setback for Trump that highlights the deep divisions within his party and raises questions about its future direction as the GOP heads toward mid-term elections in 2018.
It also signals that many in the grassroots conservative movement that helped propel Trump to the White House are still fighting against the party leadership and its grip on Washington politics during a turbulent period in which Republicans have struggled to deliver on key campaign promises like health care reform…
Many believe that the election of Moore over Strange is a clear message to President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that Republicans are fed up with Washington’s RINOs. Strange was just another RINO but Moore is not and if he wins in December, he will not be an automatic yes vote for Trump and McConnell, but will do what the people want.
This is what we sent Trump to do!

What the people of Georgia want, now our president has one more true conservative to help him do as he has said many time!

DRAIN THE SWAMP!
