The contents of Steve Bannon's secret planning whiteboard have been revealed. Mr Bannon, who is President Trump's chief strategist, writes down his thoughts and priorities on the board.
Now, they have been revealed thanks to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, a Jewish author who went to meet Mr Bannon. The Rabbi got his picture taken with the Trump advisor, but the whiteboard was in view of the camera. He then posted the photograph on Twitter.
There is much written on the whiteboard about immigration policies. Two parts which stand out are: "new extreme vetting," and "Build the Border Wall and eventually make Mexico..." Mr Bannon has ticked policies which have been addressed by President Trump.
However, other ideas appear more ambitious, and have not yet been put in the process of being carried out.

For everyone getting down on Trump for the budget deal, read the linked article. While the budget deal was depressing, everyone should be encouraged by the conservative agenda he is pursuing. Whether or not he can implement it is an altogether different conversation, but its conservative and ambitious in scope.
Isn’t that just the list of Trump campaign promises that Bannon famously put up on his white board at the start of the administration, to see that they fulfilled as many as possible and checked them off as they did so?
Of course, Bannon has reportedly been overruled by Jivanka and the Democrat/GOPe staffers they brought in with them over and over. And, if you try to pass a tweaking of Obamacare, calling it a repeal, then you really aren’t fulfilling promises despite your claims.
Rabbi should know there ARE no “coincidences,” leastways not in classical Hebrew. I don’t think Bannon’s THAT clueless to not realize the board was behind him.
This is more like punking the media. Give ‘em something else to whine about for a while as he works on the real board in another room.
If it has been photographed and published, it’s not “secret”. What’s the big deal about whiteboards? How about a blackboard? or a pad of paper for writing words on? Writing a word does not mean that it is an accepted conclusion.
The new meme being pushed by the GOPe is now, “We don’t have a filibuster-proof majority”
The horsesh** never ends from the corporate party.
Obviously leaked on purpose. Trolling the media.
Those who are depressed about the budget deal wants Trump to walk on water and waved a magic wand to fix everything in 100 days that took a decade to more to destroy. They don’t live in reality and no conception of strategic planning.
Was it leaked? Or planned...
Whiteboards are great for brainstorming, not so great for displaying a fixed list of things. Has anything been erased or added?
Waiting for MSNBC and CNN to claim Bannon is racist for using a WHITEboard in 3...2...1...
Sometimes one is their own worse enemy. Rabbi’s have a long history of
leading astray their followers.
Remember when Trump was interviewing staff candidates at Trump Tower and the video camera set up in the foyer. ....someone had a binder with bullet points for shutting down illegal immigrants and sanctuary cities. .....dims went crazy.
It never will end.
If the get 60 R jerseys in 2018 it will still not be enough because so many of them are really Democrats in R jerseys.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain and Rubio all voted for the Gang of Amnesty bill.
More would have if their votes were needed.
Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson,Blunt, Johnson, Gardner, Toomey, Capito, Fischer, Collins, Wicker are all Cheap Labor Express Republicans.
If we want to end the invasion and restore the rule of law, we need to stop electing people just because they wear an R jersey.
The budget deal is depressing but I've been encouraged by the President's telegraphing his willingness to 'shut it down' if he doesn't get what he wants in the budget in September. He's already laying the ground work for what looks to be a pretty big fight.
Also, I saw Mulvaney on tv this morning pushing back hard against the democrats and the media's misreporting about what is and what isn't in this current package. My money is still on Trump and most of his team.
I don’t want a Democrat-majority Congress when Obamacare blows up because that’s when we’ll get single payer and a ton of leftist garbage that will make this CR look like a mild hiccup.
Intentional.
Pretty much all the left has is partial glimpses of Trump’s ghost strategy.
This is a BIG thing to them. Laughable to think that Trump’s own security found and knew of the surveillance against him early on and used it to his advantage.
The enemy stews better in its very own pot.
From the movie: Zelig:
'I'm 12 years old. I run into a Synagogue. I ask the Rabbi the meaning of life. He tells me the meaning of life... But, he tells it to me in Hebrew. I don't understand Hebrew. Then he wants to charge me six hundred dollars for Hebrew lessons.'

The author (or the headline writer) seem to think there’s something ‘secret’ about the stuff on the white board.
Based on the items listed in the article, I see nothing that hasn’t already been publicized and discussed at length by the MSM.
“Secret?’ I don’t think so.
