Politico: White House aide Sebastian Gorka ousted from post
Sebastian Gorka, a deputy assistant to the president who was closely aligned with former chief strategist Steve Bannon, was ousted from the White House, officials said Friday.
In a resignation letter, published Friday night by The Federalist and confirmed by POLITICO, Gorka cited “forces” that do not support President Donald Trump’s “MAGA promise” as those that drove him out of the White House.
But a White House official indicated in a statement that Gorka had been forced out: "Sebastian Gorka did not resign, but I can confirm he no longer works at the White House," the official said.
In the resignation letter, Gorka wrote: “Regrettably, outside of yourself, the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will ‘Make America Great Again,’ have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months,” Gorka wrote.

Pardon the convicted sheriff, enacted trans military ban and Gorka quits... they really are using this Friday night during a category 4 hurricane to slip some stuff under the radar.
Jessica,
Yup,
Friday evening is always the best time for a government to dump bad or controversial news.
Looks like the deep state always wins! There is no point in voting at all.
The #1 issue other than the economy that can wreck support from Trump voters is illegal immigration and the border fence/Wall.
The #2 issue is having an administration full of idiots who do not see a threat from Islamicists, Islamic supremacists or Islamic terrorists.
McMaster’s NSC Coup Against Trump Purges Critics of Islam and Obama
Trump will not lose support during the midterms due to McMaster. but Trump will lose enough support by 2020 if McMaster gores his merry way wrecking things.
People, who read blogs like the Counter-jihad report will not & do not believe people like McMaster about anything Islamic, if those people cannot say Islamic terrorists, Islamicists or similar things.
Many people wonder HFS people like McMaster are. Is it because the live in gated communities (or can afford or are provided bodyguards) and so are not affected by a level of terrorism that we are suppose to live with?
Do these people see socialism & Christianity as failed. Do they think like Hitler?
'Speer wrote that Hitler would say: "You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. >Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"'
Do they think like Hitler and want Islam because it is more hierarchical, militant and they can have multiple wives?
In Chechnya the news today is that you can now have multiple wives again. People who read counter jihad blogs will blame the leader of Chechnya, but Putin not so much. Yes Russian has some control over Chechnya, but it is 30% to say 85%. The important take away is that the more Muslim the world becomes the sooner it will come to Eurabia or America. They see western leaders as reading demographics, putting their thumb up in the air and rolling over.
They also think that people like Bill Clinton would gladly embrace Islam so that they would never have female problems like infidelity dragging down their bids for office... because it would be legal under Islam.
That is you marry one woman in your 20s and another woman for each succeeding decade as your career soars. That way a politician can have their baggage, like Hillary, yet have their sweet young thing too.
People who read counter-jihad blogs dislike the Mormon splinter groups in the Southwest that practice polygamy. They dislike the polygamists in Bountiful, British Columbia. It is not because of race, ethnicity or color. They hate the practice of polygamy period.
If someone like Fred brings up the patriarch, there is an answer for that too. It is that t was not god's commandment , but that men were behaving as men and God just didn't smack them down for it at that time.
Beside polygamy. People who read anti-jihad blogs hate Islam's treatment of women, minorities, jihad, slavery and so much about Islam.
Trump will be bucking over 20 years of media publication. He keeps McMaster a the risk of losing votes, a lot of them.
They will stay away from the voting booth or hold their noses because the economy is good, Trump delivered on illegal immigration etc.
Trump scored many points with the Arpiao pardon and the military transgender issue. That goodwill will not last. McMaster will be brought up monthly if not weekly.
I think what ultimately led to the termination of Dr. Gorka was his rant on Fox News during the height of the tensions with North Korea where he referred to America as a "hyper power." Not only is this a false statement but frankly the man appeared unhninged during this rant.
At the time I remember thinking "does this man have a position within the Administration or is he simply a pundit?" I looked him and to my dismay he was a member of the team.
The next question was "was he speaking on his own or on behalf of his boss?" If someone were to actually try and set US foreign policy based upon the false notion that America is sone sort of superpower or in some way exceptiinal among nations, a disastrous end for America would be vurtually 100% certain as tactics and strategies set under false assumptions and misunderstandings typically do not end well.
To POTUS's credit, during the camoaign, as I recall, he never referred to America as a superpower/hyperpower or in some way exceptional among nations. He was correct not to do so. In contrast, HRC regularly used such misconceptions.
Such nonsense as spouted by Dr. Gorka has no place in leadership. Such nonsense is similar to what has been spouted by neo conservatives for quite awhile now. Had I been POTUS I would have immediately fired that one after the rant and would have done something more forceful to him if I could have. While it should have been done sooner, good riddance to that one.
With that said many who support POTUS'S agenda do seem to be being purged. If the US government fails to enact POTUS'S agenda, they will be dealing with 10 candidates with similar views to Trump and without the baggage. They won't be able to stop them sll..
Finally, while America is not a superpower right now, not even close, could it becone one in the future? While unlikely, given the national debt, crumbling infrastructure and lack of skilled personnel, such is unlikely but is possible.
The Swamp's antibodies are glomming on to Trump, enshrouding his Presidency, binding it, trying to kill it.
And Trump's love of Generals is his Achilles' Heel. We are losing bigly right now.
Russ,
I agree with what you said.
B Poster,
Your constant trolling/shilling is annoying. However, use can be made of it.

Writing is like math for most people. It is hard a and then you get better at it.
That and his daughter Ivanka and her husband Kushner. They are all left democrats and Trump only listens to them.
Aizino,
What am I trolling and shilling for? Aren't trolls supposed to be bad? If I'm shilling for anyone/anything, it is for America and the American people. Is that somehow bad?
The point is Dr. Gorka referred to America as a hyper power when discussing North Korea. Dr. Gorka is wrong. Any policy maker who sets policies based upon such misguided analysis will only lead the country to a bad end. For this reason alone, he needed to be sent elsewhere. Had I been POTUS I would have terminated his services immediate
Ly.
Nevertheless the less it's good that he's out. My analysis is dpot on. I'm sorry you find it annoying. Of course truth to those whose agenda is different oftentimes find the truth annoying as it upsets their ideological beliefs and/or their agenda.
Russ and Anonymous,
I think you are pretty much spot on. There's little I could add. Trump is essentially a classic liberal circa the mid 1990s. This isn't a conservative in any sense. As such, he has trouble recognizing the "deep state" for what it really is.
I've also noticed his love of the generals. Frankly, if I were POTUS, I would probably love the generals too. I never dreamed these generals would be so deeply affiliated with the "deep state." I had thought they would put love of country and the men and women under their command before the "deep state."
It seems I've been in error. Since I don't have the baggage DJT has, it's easier for me to recognize the problem than it is for him.
The deep state generally treats military personnel with utter contempt and abuse. There'd be no reason to suspect they'd view generals any differently. Perhaps the generals will want to carefully consider such things before they carry the water of such people as the deep state.
While we all have disagreements along the margins, we generally agree on most things and you are correct Russ. Right now we are losing big time. Frankly, short of a coup which would be the VERY LAST RESORT, I'm not sure how we fix this.
Aizino, you laud the posts that just say "Our MAGA is being betrayed!" and then call somebody with a well-thought dissenting opinion a troll. Your own post rambled off into weird hitlerisms and nonsense about polygamy like a shooter's manifesto, and then get smarmy and smug about writing quality. You're almost as biased and blind and Jay. Yuck.
Wanking hard too till you get used to it and then comes easily
Who what where is this deep state
Define plz
"Secretary of State Tillerson Attacks Gorka on "Radical Islam""
This is the problem with Washington.
You cannot say:
Radical Islam (meaning 1% or 10%)
Note Gorka is not saying all of Islam just the fringe elements of it.
So if you cannot call supremacism by a minority a sizable minority or all of it, what can you say?
BOHICA?
