- Oath to confidentiality . . . what’s that?
- Bannon’s integrity is unkempt as his appearance
- Who with real devotion to integrity would even talk to a known sleaze merchant like Michael Wolff , a dyked out Kitty Kelley
Woofee and the Kitty . . . what harm could talking to them do?
Kitty Kelley is the person on the left. She’s looking a little Botox and silicone infused. Michael Wolff actually likes his publicity photo

There are a lot of other issues I’d prefer to cover today, but one story is dominating the headlines, so here we go.
Late yesterday, reports erupted in the press about infighting within the Trump White House. Controversial author Michael Wolff has a new book coming out soon, and excerpts, extremely unflattering to President Trump, were published in London’s left-wing rag, The Guardian. More troubling were very damaging and disparaging quotes attributed to Steve Bannon saying things that have the swamp creatures salivating.
Here are the things you need to know:
I know President Trump and I know Steve Bannon. They are both intelligent men. Steve Bannon did not elect Donald Trump. Donald Trump, as he said himself, was elected by you — the voters of Middle America. In case you didn’t notice, Trump has a remarkable list of accomplishments after just one year in office. (More on that below.)
President Trump is portrayed in the book as having no interest in briefings and being unaware of key facts. This is simply untrue. In my conversations with the president, he has always shown a wide grasp of knowledge and details, which helps explain the incredible success he has had in life. (You don’t become a billionaire by being dumb.) More importantly, he doesn’t have to unlearn all the leftist drivel that infects every “progressive” politician in this city.
Here’s one example of the many lies in the book: Wolff claims that after the election, Trump did not know who former Speaker John Boehner was. Only an idiot could believe that. Trump has tweeted about John Boehner multiple times, played golf with him and donated $100,000 to his political efforts.
Wolff’s credibility is very questionable. A Washington Post media reporter wrote this: “Wolff has a penchant for . . . pushing the facts as far as they’ll go, and sometimes further than they can tolerate. . . He has been accused of not just re-creating scenes in his books and columns, but of creating them wholesale.”
An editor who once worked with Wolff described him this way: “His great gift is the appearance of intimate access. He is adroit at making the reader think that he has spent hours and days with his subject, when in fact he may have spent no time at all.”
Multiple people cited in the book — here, here, here and here — immediately denounced as lies quotes that were attributed to them.
Unfortunately, I have not seen Bannon deny statements attributed to him. On his Sirius/XM show last night, he did say this in response to a caller: “The president is a great man. You know I support him day in and day out.”
White House attorneys delivered a cease and desist letter to Bannon last night, reminding him that like all other presidential appointees, he signed a confidentiality agreement preventing him from discussing the inner workings of the White House. Today, they are going after Wolff, seeking to stop publication of the book.
As conservatives we need to remind ourselves that one of the sick pillars of modern philosophy is that there is no such thing as truth or right and wrong. Our journalism schools and law schools teach aspiring reporters and lawyers that everything is relative and that truth is whatever advances the progressive agenda.
This is why the Trump mantra of fake news stings so many media mavens.
