McConnell dances on Bannon's grave - Duration: 2:20.

McConnell dances on Bannon's grave But with nasty Republican primaries on the

horizon, the Senate majority leader is hardly in the clear.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his allies rang in the new year with a week-long

celebration of Steve Bannon's self-immolation.

But the festivities may prove to be short-lived.

The Republican leader still has a slate of brutal GOP primaries looming in the first

half of this year that could jeopardize his party's hold on the Senate � even with Bannon

out of the picture, assuming that his breakup with President Donald Trump and the wealthy

Mercer family lasts.

Still, McConnell�s team believes � probably with good reason � that their job in 2018

is now significantly easier without Bannon to marshal insurgent forces against incumbent

Republican senators and cost the party crucial Senate seats.

That's precisely what they blame him for doing in Alabama, where the party nominated Bannon-backed

Roy Moore only to watch him blow a seemingly can't-lose race.

Taking that counter-argument out of the game here clears the path for a very clear-eyed

political strategy for the year,� said Scott Jennings, a Republican political strategist

and former McConnell aide.

�Bannon would have dramatically complicated that.�

Jennings and other McConnell allies say the party can focus on selling a still-unpopular

tax law to the American public and picking up Senate seats in states President Donald

Trump won in 2016.

To the extent Bannon is blasting McConnell and his cohorts as corporate globalist sellouts,

he'll be doing so as a much-diminished political force.

The elation inside McConnell's camp could hardly be more apparent.

When McConnell assembled his staff on Wednesday for a new-year huddle, he didn�t focus on

a looming government shutdown or the recently-passed tax bill � he celebrated Bannon�s self-destruction.

The president had released a statement hours earlier disavowing Bannon, stating his former

aide had "not only lost his job, he lost his mind" when he was fired.

McConnell gleefully told his colleagues that he had spoken with the president moments earlier

and told him: �I couldn�t have said it better myself.�

But it's unclear how much of a factor Bannon would've been in the country's most competitive

Senate races, anyway.

Several Republican vs. Republican battles will rage on without him.

Republicans head to Camp David in search of agenda - Duration: 3:18.

Republicans head to Camp David in search of agenda

Trump, Ryan and McConnell hold a rare weekend powwow to decide what exactly to do in 2018.

One year into complete control of Washington, Republicans are still trying to come up with

a governing agenda.

President Donald Trump wants 2018 to be the year of infrastructure, White House and Hill

sources say.

And he�ll pitch GOP congressional leaders on rebuilding the nation�s roads and bridges

during a rare Camp David strategy session this weekend.

But questions about how to pay for it � and whether Republicans can even find the votes

for passage � are already troubling Hill leaders.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker Paul Ryan, meanwhile, are at odds

over whether to tackle entitlement reform in an election year.

The Wisconsin Republican has narrowed his expectations after several GOP leaders on

both sides of the Capitol expressed concern about the political optics of cutting the

safety net for the elderly or poor when GOP majorities are on the line, according to two

sources familiar with high-level discussions.

But the speaker plans to pitch a welfare overhaul this weekend nonetheless and is already framing

the changes as �poverty reform."

On top of all that, Republicans face tough votes ahead that will require Democratic support,

likely resulting in compromises that divide the party and alienate the base.

Congress is eyeing a massive bipartisan spending deal to increase funding for the Pentagon

and domestic programs and avoid a government shutdown in two weeks.

Lawmakers also must soon raise the $20 trillion debt ceiling, a toxic vote for the right.

And they�re trying to come up with a solution to shield more than 700,000 young undocumented

immigrants from deportation.

�We started America's comeback with this tax reform� Now we want to complete that

job: infrastructure, dealing with opioids, making sure the security of America is safe,

rebuilding our military,� House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on Fox

News before heading to Camp David Friday.

�Those are the things we're looking at and walking through with the Senate and the House

on the agenda for 2018.�

The debate over what to pursue and how to proceed show that even after December�s

big tax victory, Republicans are still struggling to fully wield their power in the Trump era.

The party is torn between its moderates and conservatives, its Trump-like populists and

its fiscal hawks � each with their own priorities.

And as the window for legislative accomplishments closes with the midterm campaigns approaching,

charting a course at the Camp David powwow couldn�t be more important.

�This administration came into office perhaps not really knowing for sure that they would

win the election and was a little bit behind the curve in terms of preparing,� said Senate

Majority Whip John Cornyn.

�Now, I think they recognize that that sort of coordination is really important in order

to get things done.�

Attendees include not only Ryan, McConnell and McCarthy but Republican whips Cornyn (R-Texas)

and Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), a half-dozen cabinet members, and senior White House staff,

including chief of staff John Kelly and legislative director Marc Short.

Trump blasts 'total loser' Wolff, hits 'Sloppy Steve' Bannon again in late night tweets - Duration: 2:46.

Trump blasts 'total loser' Wolff, hits 'Sloppy Steve' Bannon again in late-night tweets

President Donald Trump late Friday again slammed Michael Wolff over his incendiary book on

the Trump administration�s turbulent first year, tweeting that the author "made up stories

in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book."

"Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring

and untruthful book.

He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job.

Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone.

Too bad!" the president tweeted shortly after praising a tweet from Sen. Rand Paul pledging

to introduce a bill to end aid to Pakistan.

Trump's tweet contained a doctored image of the cover of Wolff's book displaying quotes

criticizing Wolff's writing and calling him "liar and phony," which had been circulated

earlier in the day by the GOP's official Twitter account.

Trump joined Republican congressional leaders at Camp David on Friday to plot the party's

2018 midterm agenda, as the media focused in large part on salacious tales recounted

by Wolff in his book, �Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,� which went on sale

earlier in the day.

Trump claimed Thursday night that he had not authorized White House access for the book,

warning readers to �look at this guy�s past,� an apparent dig at Wolff�s credibility,

and referring to Steve Bannon, his former chief strategist, as �sloppy Steve.�

�I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for

author of phony book!

I never spoke to him for book,� the president wrote on Twitter Thursday night.

�Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don�t exist.

Look at this guy�s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!�

Trump�s assertion that he never spoke to Wolff for the book seems to contradict information

from White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who said the president did once speak

to Wolff, albeit briefly and not in a formal interview setting.

Wolff�s book has put the Trump administration on the defensive this week, pushing back against

embarrassing passages in the book that paint the president as ignorant, impulsive, narcissistic

and inept and his West Wing disorganized and backbiting.

Sanders has said the book is ridden with falsehoods and is �complete fantasy and just full of

tabloid gossip.�

And while Wolff is a well-known writer, his new book has resurfaced old questions from

some about his journalistic practices.

Sanders complained Thursday that Wolff�s book contained little mistakes indicative

of sloppy work, such as writing that White House communications director Hope Hicks is

26 years old when she is actually 29.

How the US and North Korea could stumble into World War III - Duration: 3:13.

How the U.S. and North Korea could stumble into World War III

U.S. military planners are increasingly concerned that tensions on the Korean peninsula could

unintentionally trigger a wider war as Trump and Kim Jong Un hurl unusually personal attacks

online.

U.S. military officials increasingly worry that a mistake or miscommunication - even

more than an intentional act of war - could start a nuclear conflict in Korea.

A North Korean provocation, a U.S. warning shot, malicious hackers or a simple accident

could be the cause that starts a new war between two nations with a long history of tensions

and suspicion.

"Miscalculation is now at a stage [that is] higher than probably any time since the Cuban

Missile Crisis," former Obama administration Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said days after

President Donald Trump boasted on Twitter that his nuclear button is �a much bigger

& more powerful one� than Kim Jong Un�s.

These are some of the potential scenarios that most worry former nuclear commanders,

policymakers and experts on Korea.

'A pure accident' A common fear of escalation is rooted in the

oft-violent history of the Korean standoff, which dates back to the 1953 armistice that

halted the three years of fighting in the Korean Conflict.

The two sides have come to blows or awfully close countless times in the decades since

then � often by "pure accident," in the words of Michael Mazarr, who served as special

assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2008 to 2010 and is a specialist

on the Asia-Pacific.

In one prominent case, a U.S. Army helicopter strayed across the demilitarized zone between

North and South Korea and was shot down in 1994, killing one crew member.

In other cases, the close proximity of opposing militaries � positioned just across the

demilitarized zone � have come dangerously close to military confrontation by accident.

For example, in 2003 four North Korean fighter jets buzzed an unarmed American spy plane

over the Sea of Japan, coming within 50 feet of the U.S. aircraft.

In 2015, two South Korean soldiers stumbled on land mines planted near the DMZ by the

North and both sides separately exchanged mortar and artillery fire.

North and South Korean forces also exchanged gunfire just last month when a North Korean

soldier defected to the south.Given the current tensions on the peninsula, any type of mishap

or misstep could escalate quickly, numerous experts say.

Mazarr said one such scenario could be a North Korean missile test gone awry.

"North Korea launches a missile that they presume to be a test, it malfunctions and

starts going toward Japan in a way that is perceived as a possible attack, so the U.S.

takes out the launch pad and then it just escalates from there," he said.

Kelsey Davenport, the director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, a

Washington think tank, also raised the prospect that North Korea could misinterpret a flyover

by a U.S. bomber � a practice the Pentagon uses from time to time to simply show resolve

� as a preemptive attack.
