War Room’s Steve Bannon Known as “The Godfather of the MAGA Right”
February 26, 2025
Steve Bannon discusses President Trump’s America First agenda with Tariffs. 1/31/25
Only Steve Bannon could be labeled as the “Godfather of the MAGA right.” His fierce loyalty to conservative values and to President Donald Trump is what makes him such a driving force. He also spent 4 months in a Federal prison in 2024 because he would not give in to the corrupt Biden regime’s intimidation tactics.
Fast forward now to 2025. President Trump has now been in the White House for just over one month. Bannon’s influence on MAGA is just as strong as ever as he continues to promote President Trump’s America first agenda.
Journalist Freddie Hayward featured Steve Bannon in The New Statesmen to get a real sense of who he is and what his very popular show War Room is all about. The show is featured daily on Real America’s Voice, which is a pro-America, Patriotic, and conservative news channel.
Bannon usually broadcasts his show from a townhouse in Washington DC not too far from the United States Supreme Court.
Hayward described him as “Bannon’s self-image is both tribune of the people and elite intellectual. He is a voracious reader.”
At 9.39am on 18 February, Steve Bannon walked into his basement studio in Washington DC, placed three iPhones on the table, hoisted the blinds and started ripping newspapers out of plastic packets: the Washington Times, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal. His television show, WarRoom, which appears on the cable channel Real America’s Voice, was due to go live in 21 minutes. “Have [you] got a map yet?” he demanded of his young producer like a Napoleonic marshal. “I want the Western Hemisphere and eastern Europe.”
The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, was in Saudi Arabia, meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, drawing lines on a map of Ukraine as they discussed a possible deal to end the war. Rubio told the press there were “incredible opportunities to partner with the Russians, geopolitically, on issues of common interest”. Bannon wanted his team to prepare a map for the upcoming episode of WarRoom to illustrate what he called “hemispheric defence”: the Trump administration’s plan to end the war in order to pivot to the coming war with China. “It’s all part of a piece,” he told me. The nationalist broadcaster and former senior adviser to Donald Trump believed his years-long ambition was within reach: a partnership between the United States and Russia.
Bannon’s studio is in a townhouse near the Supreme Court. We sat around a dining table strewn with old newspapers and books. Mandate for Leadership – better known as Project 2025, a blueprint for Trump’s second administration written by the Heritage Foundation think tank – was on a side table. A sign on the mantelpiece read: “We Have Not Yet Begun to Fight”. Bannon held up his phone with a picture of the map his team had prepared and snapped at his producer: “This is called a map of the world – not the Western Hemisphere.”
After Criticizing Any Discussion Of Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline, Jake Tapper Seeks to Profit from the Cover-up

CNN’s Jake Tapper was a harsh critic of anyone who dared to raise the topic of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. But now that he can profit from the coverup he and his fellow “journalists” participated in, Tapper is ready to profit off the deception.
Tapper is plugging his new book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, which is set for release in May 2025.
An overview of the book reads:
From two of America’s most respected journalists, an unflinching and explosive reckoning with one of the most fateful decisions in American political history: Joe Biden’s run for reelection despite evidence of his serious decline—amid desperate efforts to hide the extent of that deterioration.
************
Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump presidential term. He, his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again, they lied to themselves, allies, and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on June 27, 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed to the world. It was shocking and upsetting.
Now the full, unsettling truth is being told for the first time. Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson take us behind closed doors and into private conversations between the heaviest of hitters, revealing how big the problem was and how many people knew about it. From White House staffers at the highest to lowest levels, to leaders of Congress and the Cabinet, from governors to donors and Hollywood players, the truth is finally being told. What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run for reelection seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless—a desperate bet that went bust—and part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents. The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will continue for decades.
In 2020, Lara Trump appeared on Tapper’s show and said about Biden’s deterioration, “It’s very clearly a cognitive decline.”
Tapper cut her off, saying, “Ok…you have no…it’s so amazing to me…a cognitive decline?”
“I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody’s cognitive decline. I would think that somebody in the Trump family to people who do not have medical licenses diagnosing politicians from afar.”
Watch:
Tapper then: It’s a conspiracy theory to say Biden has cognitive decline. It’s a stutter.
The irony of Tapper being a participant in silencing discussion of the topic and then turning around and pretending to be a brave “truth teller” was not lost on conservatives.
You can’t make this stuff up

Takes an amazing amount of hubris to spend five years ignoring Biden’s clear cognitive decline only to cash in on a book about it when he’s finally out of office. https://t.co/3WaJwQ8a2l
Federal Officials Identify ‘HUD Employee’ Who Broadcast AI Video of Trump Kissing Musk’s Feet in HUD Cafeteria – Escort Individual from the Building
February 26, 2025
Federal officials have reportedly identified the hacker behind the AI video of President Donald Trump kissing the feet of Elon Musk, which was broadcast on televisions in the Housing and Urban Development cafeteria on Monday.
According to a report, the responsible individual was escorted out of the building once caught.
This indicates they were a HUD employee, but the report did not explain their role.
“Yesterday an individual was escorted off the property,” a spokesperson for HUD told the Daily Mail.
The video, which went viral when the TV takeover happened on Monday, had the caption, “Long Live the Real King.”

The individual responsible, who has not been publicly identified, may face legal ramifications for their actions.
“Legal ramifications are being explored,” the HUD spokesperson said. “Additionally, termination or suspension of certain services are being explored as it relates to the department.”
The spokesperson added, “The monitors at HUD are now showcasing the wins of the Trump administration, including action to lower the cost and expand the supply of affordable housing.”
WOW: Dan Crenshaw THREATENS Tucker? | Elijah Schaffer Featuring Jim Hoft (VIDEO)
February 26, 2025
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) stirred up a storm on Monday by threatening to “kill” Tucker Carlson during a GB News interview with Steven Edginton. Crenshaw slammed Carlson, arguing he’s clueless about Russia and Ukraine, saying, “Tucker doesn’t have a clue,” and mocking his praise for Moscow’s grocery stores.
As the interview wrapped up, the host asked if Crenshaw had met Carlson. Rising to leave, the ex-Navy SEAL quipped into a live mic, “If I meet Tucker Carlson, I’ll f**king kill him—I’m not kidding,” before adding, “Seriously, I’d kill him,” as he walked off.
Carlson hit back on X, challenging him to an interview and offering his address. Crenshaw’s team later told The Gateway Pundit the threat wasn’t genuine, with a spokesperson saying, “No, obviously not.”
