President Trump has added the Muslim Brotherhood to an official list of foreign terrorist organizations held by the State Department and Treasury.  The controversial move comes after National Security Adviser Michael Flynn recommended that Trump give the group a terrorist designation. Breitbart.com reports: In Congress, a bill to add the Muslim Brotherhood to the official terrorist list was introduced this month by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL).

Bannon is correct that the US media - indeed, the entire Western print and TV media - is nothing but a propaganda machine for the ruling elite. The presstitutes are devoid of integrity, moral conscience, and respect for truth.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to President Trump’s executive order halting immigration from Muslim countries by announcing the start of a German-style open door policy, rolling out the red carpet and welcoming all migrants to Canada. Trudeau, a former drama teacher and the son of radical leftist Pierre Trudeau, signaled the start of Canada’s open door policy by tweeting: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith.

Yesterday in Taki's Magazine, David Cole suggested that maybe, just maybe, Hollywood isn't as powerful in swaying public opinion as many people assume it is. 

This belief is shared not only by the "stars" of Hollywood itself — who naturally fancy themselves as great "thought leaders" — but also by conservatives themselves, including the late Andrew Breitbart. Breitbart, as Cole points out, was even rather obsessed with the issue, and harped on the need to create a right wing rival to Hollywood. 

Suggesting that little execution planning went into the implementation of Trump's controversial executive order temporarily banning the admission of refugees and travellers from seven countries, less than 24 hours later the impact was already resonating at airports around the world and could best be summarized in one word: confusion. It was most evident at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport where a dozen people were detained and some separated from family members, according to lawmakers and attorneys scrambling to get them released and struggling to interpret the new rules.
