Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Positive . The Dec. 12 special Senate election in Alabama is being touted as the next clash in the ongoing battle between  Steve Bannon  and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the soul of the Republican Partyâwhat  Bannon   with characteristic hyperbole  calls a âseason of war.â Roy Moore  the GOP candidate  stands accused of numerous incidents of sexual misconduct  including allegations that he molested a 14-year-old girl. Thatâs prompted McConnell  a Kentucky Republican  and most of his GOP colleagues to disavow him.  Bannon   by contrast  was Mooreâs most important ally in the wake of the sex scandal  at least until President Donald Trump took to Twitter to weigh in on Mooreâs behalf.
McConnell knows that having an accused child molester in the Senate would be toxic for his partyâs image  and that Mooreâs stubborn recklessness would make his own job next to impossible. For  Bannon   one suspects  this is the whole source of Mooreâs appeal.
Bannonâs stated rationale for backing Moore is that heâll help carry out the populist revolt that the former White House chief strategist is attempting to lead against McConnell and the GOP establishment. Itâs an odd claim to make  since Moore is less of a âpopulistâ than a âtheocrat.â He was twice kicked off the Alabama Supreme Court  once for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument  the other time for refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay couples. Whatâs more   Bannon  has a more powerful weapon to deploy that really does align with  his  professed politics and would all but ruin McConnell:  He  could oppose the Republican tax plan.
 Bannon  rose to prominence by espousing a brand of Republican politics that differed sharply from what party leaders such as McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan were pushing. Instead of tax cuts for the wealthy and slashed entitlement spending   Bannon  thought the GOP should become a âworkersâ partyâ focused on strengthening the middle class. This idea was so popular with conservative voters that when Trump took it up  he won the Republican presidential nomination. It also helped  him  steal blue-collar voters from Hillary Clinton in the general election.
Since  his  inauguration  however  Trump has consistently deferred to the same Republican leaders whose priorities  he  exposed as being out of step with the rest of the country. Nothing illustrates this better than the tax plan McConnell and his allies are frantically trying to rush through the Senate.
In sum  the GOP tax plan makes a mockery of what  Bannon  and  his  followers claim to stand for by directing its major benefits to the kind of plutocrats who donate to McConnell and his Republican colleaguesâone reason the plan is deeply unpopular with most voters. A recent ABC News poll found that 60 percent of Americans think the plan favors the wealthy  and just one in three support it.
So far  Bannonâs populist revolt has met with only middling success. Although heâs pledged to run insurgents in 2018 against every GOP incumbent but Ted Cruz  a strong slate of candidates has yet to emerge. One place  Bannon  has succeeded  though  is in tarnishing McConnellâs image among Republicans. Polls consistently show the majority leader to be the least popular member of the Senate  and an Oct. 24 Harvard-Harris poll found that most Republicans wish  he  would resign. If McConnell canât pass a tax bill  he may have to.
Given this vulnerability   Bannon  could use his influence and platform at Breitbart News to highlight the plutocratic skew of the GOP plan and demand that its spoils be redirected to the ordinary workers who elected Trump. Calling on Republicans to swap out the estate tax repeal  carried interest breaks and cuts for millionaires for  say  a payroll tax cut aimed squarely at the middle class would put McConnell in an impossible bind  while providing  Bannon  the dual benefits of being broadly popular and entirely consistent with  his  and Trumpâs 2016 campaign message.
Instead   Bannon  has been raging at McConnell without doing much to inhibit his agenda. He may yet carry Moore to victory. But if McConnellâs tax plan becomes law  thereâll be little doubt as to who is the true victor.

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joshua Boyle is Positive . U.S. officials said Pakistan accomplished the release of Caitlan Coleman of Stewartstown  Pennsylvania  and her husband  Canadian Joshua Boyle  who were abducted and held by the Haqqani network  which has ties to the Taliban and is considered a terrorist organization by the United States.

A U.S. military official said that a military hostage team had flown to Pakistan Wednesday  prepared to fly the family out. The team did a preliminary health assessment of the family and had a transport plane ready to go. But sometime after daybreak there  as the family members were walking to the plane   Boyle  said  he  did not want to board.
Another U.S. official said  Boyle  was nervous about being in "custody" given  his  background.
 Boyle  was once married to Zaynab Khadr  the older sister of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr and the daughter of a late senior al-Qaida financier. Her father  Ahmed Said Khadr  and the family stayed with Osama bin Laden briefly when Omar Khadr was a boy.
Officials had discounted any link between that background and  Boyle 's capture  with one official describing it in 2014 as a "horrible coincidence."
The Toronto Star reported that  Boyle  spoke to  his  parents after  his  release. " Josh  said  he  was doing pretty well for someone who has spent the last five years in an underground prison "  his  father told the paper.
The release came together rapidly Wednesday. It happened nearly five years to the day after Coleman and  Boyle  lost touch with their families while traveling in a mountainous region near the Afghan capital of Kabul.
The couple set off in the summer 2012 for a journey that took them to Russia  the central Asian countries of Kazakhstan  Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan  and then to Afghanistan. Coleman's parents last heard from their son-in-law on Oct. 8  2012  from an internet cafe in what  Boyle  described as an "unsafe" part of Afghanistan.
 Boyle 's parents say their son told them in a letter that he and his wife tried to protect the children by pretending their signs of captivity were part of a game being played with guards.

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Luke Ravenstahl is Positive . In what he described as a "leap of faith " Mayor Luke Ravenstahl of Pittsburgh agreed Monday to shelve his plans for the nation's first tax on college tuition in exchange for an increase in voluntary contributions from local colleges and universities to the city.
 City officials said the mayor also had a promise from university officials to help lobby state lawmakers in Harrisburg for changes to enable the city to raise certain taxes and fees.
 Earlier this month  Ravenstahl said he had asked the universities and other tax-exempt nonprofit organizations to pay $5 million annually to the city  and that in lieu of the tax  he would find the other $10 million by dipping into reserves  cutting services and pushing Harrisburg to increase the commuter tax rate.
 After universities initially turned down his request to increase their voluntary payments to the city  Ravenstahl said he was left with no alternative to imposing a tax. He said the money was needed to pay for pension costs and to offset the roughly $50 million in property taxes that the city forgoes from the tax-exempt status of nonprofit institutions.
 Ravenstahl said the city had already begun tightening its belt.
 "We continue to consolidate services with other governments  achieving cost savings through joint purchasing  joint provision of services and any other avenue we can pursue " he said. "We have reduced our work force by about 1 000 employees. We have stopped issuing new debt  going to a 'pay as you go' capital budgeting system."
 He added: "We have cut everything we can to the bone. Today is not the end of our work together. Today is only the beginning."
