In: McMaster, “Islam Is A Religion of Peace,” the Iran nuke deal is a great idea, Israel is an occupier and oppressor.
Out: Bannon, realistic analysis of the global jihad threat, confrontation of Iranian aggression, strengthened alliances with Israel and other states on the front lines of the global jihad.
Trump has reneged on the promises that got him elected, and betrayed the American people.
“Trump Tells Aides He Has Decided to Remove Stephen Bannon,” by Maggie Haberman, New York Times, August 18, 2017:

President Trump has told senior aides that he has decided to remove Stephen K. Bannon, the embattled White House chief strategist who helped Mr. Trump win the 2016 election, according to two administration officials briefed on the discussion.
The president and senior White House officials were debating when and how to dismiss Mr. Bannon. The two administration officials cautioned that Mr. Trump is known to be averse to confrontation within his inner circle, and could decide to keep on Mr. Bannon for some time.
As of Friday morning, the two men were still discussing Mr. Bannon’s future, the officials said. A person close to Mr. Bannon insisted the parting of ways was his idea, and that he had submitted his resignation to the president on Aug. 7, to be announced at the start of this week, but the move was delayed after the racial unrest in Charlottesville, Va….
Krazy Kafir says
I smell his daughter, and her NY liberal husband.
Filip says
Its easy to point to crazy Alex Jones videos for the liberals to make Trump change his mind on Bannon who Alex J probably recommended himself. Also the nepotism of Trump is something the right overlooked but the evidence is there. All his companies is run by his children. And he has had a very shifty moral compass leaning to the left and right all his life.
Janet says
Trump is a socialist (Communist ) democrat his family did not register Republican because they knew daddy is a socialist democrat .
Trump ran independent of the Republican Platform because Trump is not a Republican let alone a Conservative .
Lawrence says
Trump is just for Trump. It would be nice if all those so called anti-dhimmi Trumpkins acknowledge they got duped by a lying conman. Could Spencer get this article published in PJMedia or Frontpage? The reason I ask is that the two Jewish Zionists there respectively, Simon and Horowitz, who run those outlets, both gave their support to Trump. Can they acknowledge their screw-up here? No it doesn’t seem so. Their egos couldn’t take it. I mean I’m waiting…
To give credit to Breitbart (which I am often critical of), they are also calling out Trump for the conman and dhimmi that he is. A lot of people – including here in the comments – want to blame anybody but Trump. Nonsense. The buck stops with him, he is the president after all.
Terry says
To say that Trump is a socialist or communist is crazy.
Trump is a realist.
Registered as Dems? LOOK AT THE CITY–NYC–IT IS A DEM. CITY. With the exception of Rudi G–it has been run by Dems for most of the past 60 years.
Trump and the Kushner’s and other business people need ( for various things-all quite legitimate) NOT to antagonize the government.
(I had a friend who pissed off a local government official. He had a restaurant. Result- every few days– when the restaurant was busiest, one inspection or another. A smart businessman (or woman) stays on the right side of the local power structure. Regardless of personal views.
Sons of Liberty says
Stupid move President Trump . Bannon is an American Patriot ! Thanks for giving into the Marxist Democrats .
Terry says
“An American Patriot” does NOT tell a liberal publication, ” that there is no military option–” (in regards to Korea). In opposition to what has been discussed by the Sec Of State, Sec of Defense; The Pres., and military people.
AN AMERICAN PATRIOT DOES NOT TELL THIS TO A PUBLICATION- ANY PUBLICATION- WHERE IT COULD EASILY BE PASSED ALONG TO ADVERSARIES.
In my view, Bannon is a traitor.
Mike says
The daughter and the son in law , who are closed friends to many corrupt New Yorker Dems , should be fired even though they have family ties with the president .We didn’t vote for their agenda . Trump is wrong on this as he was on Gen Flynn.
Bradamante says
Damn.
RichardL says
Couldn’t have said better.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Bradamante.
Glad to see you posing again, though.
Kesselman says
It’s not at all a move I appreciate. Steve Bannon is maybe the only one who has the globalist liberal leftists on a string. Without a correct analysis of the agenda promoted by the Globalist Liberal Utopian Eco-Elitists, the Trump movement will be smashed to pieces. And then the abyss is visible.
faraway says
Who else thinks they have something on Trump? He’s being blackmailed.
The Gentle Grizzly says
If so, maybe Trump needs to say “publish and be damned!”.
faraway says
I agree in principle,but it depends how bad it is.
The Gentle Grizzly says
We all have skeletons. At the rate the press panics over the Manhattan Democrat, and so exaggerates things, whatever they print might be seen as crying wolf.
gravenimage says
I don’t think Trump is being blackmailed. I think that while his instincts are good on opposing violent Jihad, that he has always been pretty ignorant about Islam itself–that has always been a weak point of his.
Joy D. Brower says
I think you have it right. Obviously, he’s against “Islamic Terrorism,” but his (Trump’s) understanding of Islam itself is fuzzy at best. He’s no ideologue, so all these so-called “details” of the religion itself are probably just a distraction to him! I guess in this case, ignorance certainly isn’t “bliss!”
PRCS says
The final two choices for president last year were DJT and HRC.
Despite his failings, DJT was–for me–the better choice. Far better.
But, let’s be clear–during the campaign and to this day–he is either ignorant about Islam or is dishonest.
1. As there is no such thing as “radical” Islam, regurgitating the “radical Islamic terrorism” line perpetuates the ongoing whitewash of Islam’s texts.
2. That General Pershing story is nonsense and repeating it further erodes his credibility vis-à-vis Islam.
gravenimage says
Agreed, PRCS.
Demsci says
Well said, PRCS. Agreed. The Pershing story WAS nonsense, and me, in Holland, as Trump-supporter, was for the umpteenth time embarrassed when I read it. Here too routinely almost anything Trump does or says is interpreted in routinely derogatory and often vicious way by our “MSM”.
However, that story also got a big response, worldwide (I like to read worldwide news as opposed to only national news). And some people’s historic perspective was improved a little bit, I think. It was an overwhelmingly negative response, but it did give points to discuss.
Now, if only the president takes as his clue, that he must “tweet/ disseminate” more accurate stories about Islam, Muslims and ways to combat Islamic terrorists,
and then goes on with this, he will get the usual negative responses, which however will then be picked up by our own countless “writers’, with newspaper, TV-shows and blogs, and yes, even the countless commenters with articles,
and their often well informed and logical responses will hopefully enhance the public debate and the state of Islam-knowledge of responsible Democratic citizens, who are continually abhorred by the ongoing Islam-inspired violence and at their wit’s end for a real solution.
To me, after the initial embarrassment of the story being a myth, it was quite interesting to think and talk about the use of pigsblood/ skin to discourage outright vicious Islamic killers (not ordinary Muslims).
The response was so vehement in part because the story clearly did embarrass Muslims, who must have felt stung, and many writers were quick to emphasize how “Muslims are divers, and most would not care about pig’s blood/ skin in and on them. But is that true?
The merits of the mentioned strategy could be discussed for future use, regardless of it being a myth (and there was sort of grain of truth in it anyway). I mean, if it was so ineffectual, and obviously not on a physical plane extra painful at all, why not try it in some way? Against these KILLERS only, and because now we seem to get nowhere near any other solution. Israel nowadays even buries killed terrorists in “enemy graveyards” instead of handing them over to family.
Brian Hoff says
The USA government went to the Ottoman Empire to get than religious ruleing the Sultan that as long as the ISA government allow muslim freedom to practice they religion they have no right to rebellion.
Muslim can eat pork it if is the only food available and they must stay alife all he or she have to do is ask God forgiven for eating pork. The jew can eat pork it they life depence on it.
Daniel Triplett says
The General Pershing story President Trump referenced is true.
Demsci says
Among the MSM, leftists and even many conservatives, it seems, the credibility of and respect for president Trump already is long since destroyed. However, he is anything but a bore and hated and despised with a passion, and massively so.
This means that he does get the ATTENTION. And many of his detractors feel that he is an easy target. So he CAN initiate much debate.
Daniel Triplett says
“2. That General Pershing story is nonsense and repeating it further erodes his credibility vis-à-vis Islam.”
The General Pershing story President Trump referenced is true, but you’ll never hear the MSM and Leftists admit it:

The Gentle Grizzly says
From your lips to the voters’ ears.
The Gentle Grizzl says
Many people forget that – at the end of the day – Trump is a Manhattan Democrat and has been friends with the Clintons for many years. He may have been the better choice given the candidates listed on the ballot for the uniparty, but not by much.
More Ham Ed says
Yep.

Trumps a casino man..he rolled in on a wave of angst .. he won.. we bin played
Mockingjay says
No matter how much Trump will give in to the deep state, it will not protect him from them trying to have him either impeached or killed at some point.
It’s only a matter of time – between now and a year, max.
gravenimage says
New York Magazine had an article about impeaching President Trump in their January issue–before he had ever taken office.
underbed cat says
Trump now has Obama’s administration…in place and his voters/ supporters will notice and not be as supportive this is aweful….the sabotage will now remove Trump and Trump won’t get it til the shit hits the fan. Anyone who knows that the religion of peace of Islam is not peaceful, has been removed and Trump has lost credibility….he like people then removes them he may have lied to his supporter. Very scary day.Next we will lose our freedom of speech…..Very interesting that the day before the annoucement a muslim London Brietbart editor name was on CNN or Fox very clever. Bannon has been smeared.
Lu says
Bad day and bad decision on the part of the President. I think we who write here are in 100% agreement that Bannon out means Obama forces in – even more than before his oust.
Paul N Silas says
What does America expect when it elects a New York Dem as a GOP President. I knew Trump was a phony when he cut Gen Mike Flynn loose.
Trump is FDR not Ronald Wilson Reagan
Terry says
FLYNN LIED, OR, AT LEAST MISREPRESENTED IMPORTANT ITEMS, TO TRUMP AND PENCE.
Had Flynn told the truth, it would not have mattered,. But he lied ( or ” forgot to mention”) his dealings with Turkey; Russia, etc.
What else did he lie or forget to mention? That was why he left.
underbed cat says
Steve Bannon’s removal will be noticed by the voters of Trump and he will lose support, the Obama’ left overs won the third term…while Obama trots around creating road blocks for to his replacement, President Trump….Obama must be smiling. Trump has disappointed me by turning to generals that say Islam is a religion of peace.. we will just fight the terrorist…the doctrine/ Quran is the doctrine of jihadist terror such as isis, the professional suited MB deceive administrations they are powerful. The Quran is preached in the mosques, the commands are followed by jihadist… if Trump read the Quran he would read about the duty to lie to unbelievers Trump now listens to the commanders who have stated the opposite while it is clearly a book of warfare.
Firing Steve Bannon just inadvertently supports Steve’s critics…so did Trump really support his national security or destroy him? Why? Trump did not see the enemies of his administration pushing him to push Steve out….Trump failed to see the enemy of the MB, BLM, who objective is to remove free speech, you should know what that means Mr. President, and if you say someone is a good guy….as you remove the people who helped elect you, you will remove your supporters.
Emilie Green says
“No one knows who gave the order. When I heard it, I wasn’t angry; I knew Moe, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead, I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we’ve chosen; I didn’t ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!”
Unfortunately this very much as to do with Democratic business. I hope the rumors are true that Bannon is gonna return to Brietbart and take hammer & tong to this WH which is betraying the DJT voter.
7 months in, not one brick in the Wall, but Flynn is gone and McMaster is in charge of national security; Obamacare’s still the law; tax reform’s a bust for this year. DJT’s coming up short in way too many areas
Terry says
The wall– CONGRESS HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING; OBAMACARE- THE REPUBLCIANS IN CONGRESS HAD 7 YEARS- AND EVERY YEAR THEY VOTED REPEAL- WAS VETOED; THEN WHEN HAD A CHANCE- THEY FUMBLED.
TAX REFORM– BLAME CONGRESS.
Meanwhile, teen summer unemployment at a THIRTY EIGHT YEAR LOW. EMPLOYMENT UP- AND A SHORTAGE OF JOBS- SMALL BUSINESS FEDERATION ( FORGOT THE EXACT NAME) IN A RECENT ( ACTUALLY, I THINK 2 RECENT) REPORT(S) SAID THAT SMALL BUSINESS WOULD HIRE MORE PEOPLE, IF THEY COULD FIND THEM.
Regulations have been cut; he has brought out the problems with many of the regulations.
The Constitution SAYS THAT THERE ARE THREE DIVISIONS OF GOVERNMENT- EXECUTIVE; LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIAL. IF TWO OF THE THREE THWART THE THIRD, IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THINGS DONE.
At one point, there were some 156 people awaiting confirmation- and Congress took a month vacation. Only being around to criticize the President.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Bannon’s ouster is a victory for globalism. Indirectly, every victory for globalism is a victory for global Jihad.
endislam says
Bannon may do better work out than in. Still with Trump.
eduardo odraude says
I agree. I think people are reacting a bit too quickly. McMaster on jihad issues may be window-dressing and camouflage for Trump. Bannon being out instead of in does not mean Trump has gone soft on jihad.
Terry says
If I am not mistaken, McMaster, in Iraq, was able to put together coalitions of (normally) warring factions, to fight against ISIS.
Then Obama came in.
I might be mistaken, but i believe that is what happens.
(And, i don’t liek McMaster; but Bannon either is stupid or has a huge ego- and gave the interview ti the Progressive/leftist American Specter (I think that is the name) and said that there was no military option in Korea. Treasonous, my view.
Xero_G says
Yesterday while watching Fox News’ uninterrupted coverage of the Barcelona Jihadi attack, I switched the channel to CNN to compare their coverage on the attacks. But CNN was reporting the Barcelona attacks only with the text scroll at the bottom of the screen while broadcasting a discussion panel of leftists, unanimously criticizing Pres. Trump as a Neo-Nazi sympathizer since his “timing” was “late” for his condemnation.
It must be difficult to be a CNN program director. How does one choose which story is more important: 1) Mass-murdering Jihadists currently mowing down innocent men women and children with a van in a world famous shopping area; or 2) Pres. Trump’s timing on his Neo-Nazi condemnation several days ago?
gravenimage says
I noticed this mismatch in coverage myself, Xero_G. Thanks for pointing it out here.
Milo says
His biggest mistake turned into a trap. he should of hired John Bolton, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie….. not people with the look or generals.
We didn’t vote for Trump because we “liked” him as a personality, but for what he said he stood for. And that he could deliver. Seems unlikely now.
Now with Mcmaster’s swamp and all of the firings ending with Bannon, it’s unlikely that he’ll accomplish anything substantial. MSM is winning one after the other by isolating Trump from his people. MSM successfully purged the Trump agenda.
Still at least not Hillary.
Or maybe we should just purge Trump too and go with Pence.
Trump move over for Pence.
underbed cat says
Nope . I think personally, considering the number of muslim institutions in Indiana, he might be worse. At one time Indiana had the largest mosque in the U.S., that doesn’t happen by accident.
Terry says
Rand Paul had said that he would vote against Bolton, if Trump nominated him for Sec of State., and (as I recall) said he would try and get other Repubs to do so, also.
as to Newt and Rudi G.- perhaps they did not want what was offered, and newt, i think, said that he did not want any job. (He gets a $100,000+ pension, anyhow, so why work?)
Terry says
A CONTRARY OPINION.
Steve Bannon (either or all) is stupid; has a huge ego; or was played for a fool; or is a traitor.
BANNON WAS INTERVIEWED BY/ GAVE AN INTERVIEW TO 9 to me, the same) some liberal publication (or website). IN IT, HE SAID, THAT PRES. TRUMP IS NOT GOING TO USE A MILITARY OPTION IN KOREA.
Gee–isn’t that EFFING BRIGHT.??????????
TELLING YOUR ENEMY THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO SOMETHING?
How could/would Bannon know this? By being in the inner circle.
To me, this is as bad as the leakers- whom seem to be denounced regularly here.
Or, is ti because Bannon is a conservative, he is above this?
(I cannot stand McMasters and would like to see him go, also–but this should not be a McMasters/Bannon argument. Both should be out).
Terry says
I SEMI APOLOGIZE. The interview was with a right wing publication or website.
Two points he made- were about the race card.
BUT THE OTHER ONE—RE: MILITARY:
———————————-” THERE’S NO MILITARY OPTION, FORGET IT”. in regards to North Korea/.
BRILLIANT, REALLY EFFING BRILLIANT. TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT YOU ARE BLUFFING.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM LEAKS??????
To me, worse, because he was in a position (or claimed to be) to know.
Mr. Spencer uses the Dec 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor as a critique of the Islamic attacks.
I would compare Bannon’s statements as if an aide to Ike, in 1944 would have said, ” well we are considering invading Europe, and our choices are A, B & C and here are the problems with each of these choices, so we would probably go with B”. Just telling the enemy where you are going to land. Although, in that case, it could be misdirection. With Bannon, it was ego or stupidity.
Oliver says
Satur6 wSJ said. Terry was right the first time
Bliberal publication. American Prospect. I agree. Bannon leaving is mild for what he did. Prison would be better

We’ve just witnessed a major jihad stack in Spain, only prevented from being significantly worse by good fortune and possibly good policing, and some nutjob in Charlottesville gets to change history?

Is the McMaster in and Bannon out part of deal Trump made with Mueller to shut down his special counsel? Only time will tell.
More Ham Ed says
Trump said of the oh bummer’s “they’re good people” Trump said of the cling_tons “they’re good people” he says of McBasterd “he’s a good people.” Trump has an affinity for leftists and doesn’t understand what a leftist is.

Meaning the ‘right’ chess pieces, but according to the wrong plan, they were the wrong chess pieces.

Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
It’s reported that the decision to leave was mutual. Bannon said, quite nobly, that now he was free to “go to war for Trump.”
Nope. He’s got it wrong. Now he’s free to go to war for Trump’s base.” Trump, himself, is toast; he’ll be lucky to win an additional term (or even get anything more done). He shouldn’t have listened to his daughter and his slime-ball son-in-law; they are his undoing.
But these events will make it clear to the smarter half of the electorate that a plutocracy presently runs the US, and this will grow ‘the base’ and its festering rage. Another warhorse will show itself and the base will harness it and make another charge at the Plutocrats (aka Globalists).
Debi Brand says
“In: McMaster, ‘Islam Is A Religion of Peace,’ the Iran nuke deal is a great idea, Israel is an occupier and oppressor.

“Trump has reneged on the promises that got him elected, and betrayed the American people.”
Keeping promises, other than any that are wholly self-serving, isn’t what Trump does. Sorry Robert, that you, like so many others, got snookered by this low-life.
Lorensacho says
When Bannon was interviewed, he publicly stated that Trump had no military option against North Korea. This is a treacherous betrayal of the President. He deserved to be fired.
Terry says
I said the same thing- AND NOT ONE RESPONSE, OTHER THEN OLIVER TO CORRECT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN ERROR.
(left wing publication).
Bannon should not, however, been fired. He should have been arrested, and charged with treason.
Given a fair trial and hung.
ANGB says
Listen. Bannon left Breitbart only TEMPORARILY to help Trump. He’s NEVER had any intentions of STAYING! If you didn’t notice he went STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE POSITION HE HAD BEFORE and now that he ISN’T in the White House anymore….THE GLOVES ARE OFF! NOW he can say what he wants and go AFTER the demonizing left wing media! We know Trump needs supporters around him inside Washington but he ALSO NEEDS SUPPORTERS OUTSIDE! No…Bannon is preparing to go to WAR with those people…LOL…so get ready….it’s coming and it’s gonna be GOOD!
Joe says
I wouldn’t judge so quick about the move. Thinking about it: A strategist is there for working on strategies. That is a limited time and after that it is more for tactics and operations. I’ve worked in smart management to know this.
It is pretty simple: Trump has a term of 4 years. I’ll judge him at reelection time. And we are talking politics. It’s not like Christmas where we all get what we want.
Regarding the persons:
Trump used loud and clear in his speeches the poem of the snake.
Bannon tweeted there will be an upcoming war between Christians and Muslims.
McMaster is a military puppet for sure. Not a thinker. Nothing what this man can do for us people unless it’s operations somewhere far away in the dust fighting against our enemies.
The following weeks will reveal if the move from the WH back to BB was a good or bad move.
