While the current illegal immigration crisis along our Southern border, and the government mandated purchase of health insurance are an af- front to the federal system, they are each disturb- ing in their own unique way. One is a case of the federal government failing to do its job, while the other involves the federal government going far beyond the power granted to it under the Consti- tution. In both instances the federal government has failed the people, and is looking for the judi- ciary to vindicate its action or lack thereof.

  • Steve Bannon: Five Things to Know
    Steve Bannon: Five Things to Know 1. BANNON HAS EMBRACED THE ALT RIGHT Bannon, the former chief strategist in the Trump administration, has expressed his enthusiasm for the altaltaltalt right rightrightright, a loose network of individuals and groups that promote white identity and reject mainstream conservatism in favor of politics that embrace implicit or explicit racism, antisemitism and white supremacy. Alt right adherents oppose multiculturalism, immigration and often claim that there is a Jewish conspiracy to advocate for “white genocide.” These messages are often delivered via social media, using “ironic” memes and/or slogans. Bannon “proudly” told a Mother Jones reporter at the 2016 Republican National Convention ““““wewewewe’r’r’r’r’r’reeee th thththeeee p ppplatformlatformlatformlatform for forforfor th thththeeee alt altaltalt right, right,right,right,”””” referring to Breitbart News, which he headed at the time. In the same interview, Bannon denied that the alt right is inherently racist or antisemitic, and under his leadership, Breitbart published an 1 / 6 article co-authored by Milo Yiannopoulos, a figure associated with the alt right, downplaying the racism of some of the alt right’s main ideologues. In August 2016, alt right personality Richard Spencer told the Daily Beast, “Breitbart has elective affinities with the alt-right and the alt-right has clearly influenced Breitbart. In this way, Breitbart has acted as a ‘gateway’ to alt-right ideas and writers.” When President Trump named Bannon as his chief strategist, numerous

The BBC was “another beauty”. That night I did two things. First, I typed “Trump” in the search box of Twitter. My feed was reporting that he was crazy, a lunatic, a raving madman. But that wasn’t how it was playing out elsewhere. The results produced a stream of “Go Donald!!!!”, and “You show ’em!!!” There were star-spangled banner emojis and thumbs-up emojis and clips of Trump laying into the “FAKE news MSM liars!” Trump had spoken, and his audience had heard him. Then I did what I’ve been doing for two and a half months now. I Googled “mainstream media is…” And there it was. Google’s autocomplete suggestions: “mainstream media is… dead, dying, fake news, fake, finished”. Is it dead, I wonder? Has FAKE news won? Are we now the FAKE news?

He grinned at the sea of red baseball caps in the San Diego Convention Center on May 27, 2016. In a slim suit with a pocket square, he adjusted the podium microphone and told spectators that his boss—the man who would “save” the country—was about to come out. The crowd erupted. “Are you ready to secure that border?” Miller asked, lifting a finger in the air. “Are you ready to stop Islamic terrorism? And are you ready to make sure that American children are given their birthright in their own country?” Miller could hardly contain himself. He rocked back and forth on his heels.
