Former Breitbart executive and current White House chief strategist Steve Bannon will be able sit in on any National Security Council or Homeland Security Council meeting thanks to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Saturday.
President Trump’s executive order reorganized the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council. The National Security Council was founded in 1947 and is a forum where top officials meet to discuss matters of national security and foreign policy.
Bannon is not only invited to every attend every NSC and HSC meeting now, but also is designated as a regular attendee to the NSC Principals Committee. This committee includes the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of defense, the attorney general, the secretary of homeland security, the assistant to the president and chief of staff, the national security advisor, and the homeland security advisor

These battle lines are being clearly drawn between those who want a country run by a responsible, accountable government and those who simply want a government to provide everything while making all their decisions for them. I guess that sums up the main difference between the left & right today..
Sort of like Bowie & Travis, except, we hope with a better ending.
Robert Kennedy was included with the Cuban Crisis and not approved. Hers was not in the military and the only thing in common was Marilyn.
I don’t know much about Bannon but the alt-left on Facebook is having a major meltdown.
Just wow.
I hope so - the "Ancient Aliens" "UFO" shows can use some fresh data to amuse us with.
We need to know the truth about Area 51 and Wright Patterson AFB - ;-)
Thank you!
Such a relief to have the adults back in charge. Maybe my worry titre will gradually decrease. . oh wait, it already has!
Obama was clean and articulate-Joe Biden
Pretty harsh statement about Bannon.
He has a different dress code, Trump doesn't seem to mind. He is interested in his political abilities which are enormous.
Why is Bannon not clean? Have you ever stood next to him?
I have, and he was clean.
Bannon has not had a neat and clean look. Look at the pictures of him ..there are many where he looks like he has been on some kind of bender..go find someone at trumps organization prior to this run that was allowed to look like that at work. Find me just one
Bannon has cleaned up quite a bit but still looks untidy..I saw one in the oval office where I could swear his pants were dragging on the floor...etc. ..i have to go look at that photo again
If you can’t find one photo where trumps staff is at work prior to his run for office looking like they had been on a 5 day drunk..then you might finally understand. Its not something he would allow of a close advisor.
I believe we'll all be very glad to have Bannon as President Trump's right hand man.
As far as getting acquainted with him, the NYT (and you know they hate him) actually did a very good biographical piece on him a few months ago. NYT link. Well worth the read.
The Times piece also includes this youtube of Bannon's ten minute speech to the New York Tea Party group in April, 2010. It's well worth the watch: https://youtu.be/Jf_Yj5XxUE0
Turns out Trump knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. He brought in Manafort when he had to lock down the nomination and stop the delegate leakage. He then brought in Kellyanne and Steve Bannon for the final push, knowing that they would both play pivotal roles in his Administration.
Yeah there is a lot of fakenews out there that the left foisted on Trump as if it were true
Fakenews on this thread too, I’m surprised FR members buy into the trash from leftists
Retractions are as rare as spotted owls oops they aren’t rare but delicious!
From all that I've read, Bannon is extremely smart and has some very deep connections, not just in media but in the military and banking/financial worlds, where he spent much of his career. What I find most intriguing however is the access Steve is said to have to the "dark web" which is said to contain some pretty wild stuff about shadow governments, underground political movements, terrorist networks and such.
Might be something to do with breitbart...I looked at some of his old pics...kind of same look...maybe its a rogue journalist thing
Good move.
LSM reporting this as Trump demoting JCOS, and Nat’l Director of Intelligence and replacing with Bannon, who has dangerous ideas.
Sam: When we joined FR, there was no "dark web". It was just the web. It was like the "wild west" of the internet. Remember? Kind regards, Concentrate
“Sam: When we joined FR, there was no “dark web”.”
There were alt.binaries usenet groups that go back to the late 1980s. I suspect that the dark web has its roots there.
