Utah and America, get ready for Senator Mitt Romney. With the announcement of Orrin Hatch’s retirement, the former Massachusetts governor and GOP presidential nominee is almost certain to run. If he runs, he’s almost certain to win.

President Trump and Steve Bannon have both met with Hatch urging him to stay despite being 83-years-old and far from a conservative favorite. Compared to Romney, Trump and Bannon would rather keep Hatch in place.
The Senator has been a supporter of the President’s agenda. After four decades in the Senate, Hatch finally called it quits.
No word from the Romney camp, but expect an announcement soon.

Lesser of two evils: Bannon considers backing Orrin Hatch in Utah to block Mitt Romney
Orrin Hatch is a moderate. The 82-year-old Senator has made a career in the ideological middle, starting well before the Establishment made moves to push to the left. He’s not the kind of guy Breitbart’s Steve Bannon would normally support, but the alternative appears to be Mitt Romney. In that scenario, Bannon would rather see Hatch stay on than have another Trump opponent in the Senate.
Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, is extremely popular in Utah. He would be almost impossible for Bannon to beat in the primary with anyone short of Karl Malone. Given the choice between a moderate who has been relatively supportive of President Trump or a moderate who has openly opposed Trump, Bannon will go with the former.
Orrin Hatch is a favorite of Trump and McConnell, but not Utah voters
In the Christmas Day addition of the Salt Lake Tribune, Sen. Orrin Hatch was recognized as Utahn of the Year. While it appears to be complimentary, the honor was actually the exact opposite. As explained in an editorial by the paper, the award goes to “the Utahn who, over the past 12 months, has done the most. Has made the most news. Has had the biggest impact. For good or ill.”
In Hatch’s case, it was for ill, mainly due to his lies about making his current term in office his last and his “utter lack of integrity that rises from his unquenchable thirst for power.”
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
