TIM MILLER: Bannon: Kash Patel Will Absolutely Investigate the People Named in His Book
DONALD TRUMP’S NOMINEE FOR FBI DIRECTOR, Kash Patel, is dead serious when it comes to investigating the political enemies who he listed in his book Government Gangsters, according to Trump’s on-again-off-again adviser Steve Bannon.
“Kash didn’t try to hide the football. Steve Bannon didn’t try,” Bannon asserted, speaking in the third person during a one-on-one interview with The Bulwark following his speech to Americafest, a yearly gathering of MAGA diehards hosted by Turning Point USA.

TIM MILLER: Maybe You Can Get Tired of All the Winning?
I WAS STANDING BESIDE the step-and-repeat at James O’Keefe’s annual AmFest afterparty nursing a bourbon and coke when out of the corner-of-my-eye emerged a face that was mostly familiar, minus the signature sepia blur. The face was approaching fast. Wide TV-anchor smile. Caked-on makeup. Main-character energy.
I quickly realized I was in its sights.

Happy Monday! And greetings from the southwest Florida field office. As others have noted, the schedule for publication between now and 1/2 gets a little hazy. The goal will be to run Overtimes as content and news merits.
The Browns may have lost yesterday… to the Bengals, but this kid made a 40 yard field goal to win all in attendance (including me with my brown paper bag) a free Donatos pizza. Bravo.
