Bannon Set for Massive Move
to Replace Fox… Billionaire Backer in Place
by Martin Walsh
{conservativetribune.com} ~ Unnamed sources indicated to Axios’ Jonathan Swan that Bannon told friends that the combative Bannon believes there’s an opportunity to start a cable news network that would lean more politically to the right of Fox News... Prior to his death in May, Fox News founder Roger Ailes told Bannon that he wanted to work with him to create a new cable news network, Swan reported. Swan indicated Bannon loved the idea, given he believes Fox News is heading in a “squishy, globalist direction as the Murdoch sons assume more power.” Bannon met billionaire Bob Mercer in New York prior to his departure from the White House, where they plan to launch a “well-funded force on the outside,” Swan wrote... http://conservativetribune.com/bannon-replace-fox-billionaire/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=savingourfuture&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=libertyalliance

Radical Left LITERALLY
Calling for CIVIL WAR on November 4th
by Andrew West
{constitution.com} ~ With only a few scant weeks left before college football once again commands a majority of the media attention on Saturdays, CNN and others had one shot to cash in on a weekend full of conflict... Not satisfied with simply standing by and waiting for something newsworthy to occur, CNN took it upon themselves to actively remind Americans that August 19th could be a day of rage for the radical left, constantly reiterating that they themselves would be covering rallies for the entire day. Now the mainstream media is preparing for yet another field day of leftist violence, as violent factions from within the Antifa movement prepare for an all-out assault on Americans in November... http://constitution.com/radical-left-literally-calling-civil-war-november-4th.
Thought of Judge Roy Moore in Senate has CNN in tizzy
Roy Moore
by wnd.com
{wnd.com} ~ Judge Roy Moore appears to be steamrolling his way to the U.S. Senate, having finished No. 1 among several candidates for the Republican nomination, beating President Trump’s endorsed candidate Luther Strange who he will face in a Sept. 26 runoff... Moore is outpolling the establishment Republican pick 51-32, picking up the votes cast for others by a 2-1 ratio. And that’s got CNN’s attention. So CNN just broke a story that the network apparently thinks will do-in the constitutional conservative famous for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument (sound familiar?) from the Alabama Supreme Court he presided over, losing the coveted position for his principled stand...That's not going to help. Go Judge. http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/thought-of-judge-roy-moore-in-senate-has-cnn-in-tizzy/.
Dem Senator Admits Constituents
Don’t Care About Russia Investigation
by Ryan Saavedra
by Ryan Saavedra
{dailycaller.com} ~ A Democratic senator admitted Tuesday that his constituents don’t care about the ongoing investigation into alleged Russian interference during the 2016 presidential election... Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that after completing a walking tour of his state, he learned his constituents didn’t care about the Russia probe. “I talked to mainly people who were totally apolitical, and they didn’t raise Afghanistan, obviously Trump’s speech hadn’t happened yet, but they also didn’t talk too much about Russia,” Murphy said. “They talked about health care primarily, that was loud and clear, the most important issue to them. They talked about the quality of their kids’ schools, how much money they were earning in their paycheck.”... http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/22/democrat-senator-admits-constituents-dont-care-about-russia-investigation-video/?utm_medium=email

More Charlottesville Chaos, History Purging
As City Council, Mayor Surrender To “Protesters”
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ The leftists who showed up to disrupt the Charlottesville city council meeting sounded a lot like the ones that infamously chased down Lou Dobbs and Former Governor Pat McCrory in DC... during the leftist demonstrations following the inauguration of President Trump. The same Soros – liar-nObama national agitation and disruption program continues and expands to this day. The chants of “shame” they were spewing against him for standing up to their fellow perverts, who wanted the state of North Carolina’s blessing and endorsement for the privilege of being naked with little girls and women, the normalization of perversion, are the same being leveled against their former allies, now relegated to pawn and victim status. They now share the same status as the rest of the America, enjoying the progressive equality under the eyes of their globalist masters. But they’re not finished with their willing tools and accomplices quite yet. Mayor Signer and perhaps others on the city council are likely still playing a role in the leftist scheme, abandoning their scheduled agenda in order to meet their common objectives, the demands of the disrupters...Why can't this people be civil. http://rickwells.us/more-charlottesville-chaos-history-purging-city-council-mayor-surrender/

{townhall.com} ~ "The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history." -- Friedrich Hegel
We will learn even less from history if we wipe it clean, as some are trying to do by removing statues of Confederate leaders whose beliefs about slavery and race most, including me, find offensive. Conversation beats censorship.
Rev. Al Sharpton, who has been in relative obscurity since the loss of his MSNBC program, vaulted back into this three-ring political circus recently when he suggested to Charlie Rose that federal subsidies for the Thomas Jefferson Memorial should end, because Jefferson owned slaves.
People like Sharpton fan the flames they claim need extinguishing. Some even start the fires, like those characters from a bad B-movie who confronted each other in Charlottesville, Virginia, causing death and destruction, not only to individuals and property, but to the links that have traditionally held us together as a nation, in spite of our differences.
As usual, the media have contributed to the cultural fracturing by elevating tiny groups of bigots and leftists to center stage. Drivers slow down and pay attention to car wrecks and cultural collisions.
Part of this chaos comes from government's inability, or unwillingness, to solve, or even address, major challenges. We aren't winning wars in Afghanistan, or against ISIS, which has taken credit for the vehicle attack in Barcelona that killed 14 people and wounded scores more.
We aren't winning battles over health care, or taxes, or much else in Washington, where gridlocked rush-hour traffic could serve as a metaphor for a gridlocked Congress. President Trump promised during the campaign he would win so much the rest of us would grow tired of winning. We have yet to reach anything approaching exhaustion.
There is an effort by some on the left, not just to rewrite history, which would be bad enough, but to expunge it, as happens in totalitarian states. George Orwell foresaw the danger in such an approach when he created the "memory hole" in his classic novel, "1984."
For those who never read the book, the memory hole was for destroying all historical documents that could remind, or inform, citizens of the way things were in a time before they were born. History would then be rewritten to match the evolving propaganda of the state. An agency with the euphemistic name "The Ministry of Truth" handled such things.
A similar effort to delete history was the Nazi's public book burning in Berlin in 1933.
The focus on statues by people whose education level likely wouldn't pass the "Jeopardy" test is a distraction designed to keep our minds on things other than solving real problems and to pit us against each other for the cultural, political and fundraising benefit and goals of various groups on the left and right.
I like what former NBA star and current sports commentator Charles Barkley said about the removal of Confederate statues: "I'm not going to waste my time worrying about these Confederate statues -- that's wasted energy. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna keep doing great things. I'm gonna keep trying to make a difference -- number one, in the black community because I'm black -- but I'm also going to try to do good things in the world."
Barkley has the right attitude and if more of us followed his example we might actually achieve something of value for ourselves and the nation. Future generations would then find a history worth studying and emulating.
