For Abortion “Rights” Advocates – a Compromise

Last updated on: December 5, 2021 at 2:49 pm By Susan Wright

For pro-life conservatives, it’s like a dream come true. For pro-choice feminazis and their squishy male foot soldiers, it’s every radical fear realized. Roe v. Wade, and the right to unfettered abortion may be coming to an end. That, at least, is the hot topic among Supreme Court watchers, currently. And while it has been a long-debated, hotly contentious issue since the 1973 SCOTUS decision – put in place by a majority Republican court, I might add – this is... Read more

Cornerstone Pastor Issues Apology – GOOD

Last updated on: November 21, 2021 at 7:53 am By Susan Wright

The apology was warranted. The follow-up is essential. A week ago, the world was given another look at raw, white Christian nationalism. It was on full display at a Cornerstone Church, the San Antonio, Texas megachurch operated by televangelist John Hagee, and his son, Matt Hagee. The Hagees made the grave error in spiritual judgment to allow a political event titled, “ReAwaken America” to be held within their [alleged] house of worship. This was not an event that promoted charity,... Read more

Pat McCrory Returns

Last updated on: November 14, 2021 at 11:56 pm By Susan Wright

Back in 2015, with the 2016 election fast approaching, and multiple contenders for the Republican nomination to the presidency as the hot topic of every day, I got my start in political commentary. If there are any of you from that start still clinging to the life raft that has become our republic, you may remember some of my earlier work, as well as the once-awesome space that I called my home. In the midst of my push against the... Read more

Let’s Revisit the Steele Dossier

Last updated on: July 18, 2021 at 7:45 am By Susan Wright

The Steele dossier was right. Over the years, I’ve covered the Russia dossier, compiled and constructed by former British intelligence officer, Christopher Steele, extensively. For those who, either by choice or by effect of burnout from the Trump regime, may have forgotten, the Steele dossier emerged months before the 2016 election. In its pages, Steele warned that there was a preference for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump by the Russian government. Since we know Russia is not our friend, and they... Read more

Here Comes the Boom

Last updated on: June 30, 2021 at 3:38 pm By Susan Wright

And here we go! Those of us who have paid attention (and cared) knew that the corruption of Donald Trump and his brood would not go unanswered for always. As I’ve pointed out on numerous occasions, the gilded toad’s downfall was his arrogance and his quest to up his brand, at the expense of our republic. Yes, he managed to win the presidency (once), and in doing so, built a godless, anti-American, anti-Constitution cult. He built a cult so rabid,... Read more

Trump Faces New Peril

Last updated on: May 19, 2021 at 1:50 pm By Susan Wright

After the exit of the Trump brood from the hallowed halls of government power, smart money was always on when – not if – the long arm of the law would finally catch up to them. For those of us who knew the background of Donald Trump before he ascended to the presidency, we were aware of the fact that he was the epitome of a crooked Manhattan businessman. He was the garish caricature of 80s excess and greed. Had... Read more

Addressing a Sick Culture

Last updated on: March 13, 2021 at 8:18 am By Susan Wright

So is sexuality a choice, or is it an ingrained part of who we are, present from the moment of birth? Can our sexual preferences be determined by nature or nurture? I guess the answer to that depends on who you ask. For years, the Great Coming Out Party of the ultra-woke set has scoffed at the idea that their proclivities were the result of unhinged hedonism. They were “born that way.” Neither was this a result of mental illness,... Read more

Trump’s Continuing Grift

Last updated on: February 8, 2021 at 4:19 pm By Susan Wright

There’s a sucker born every minute. A fool and his money are soon parted. Insert whatever turn of phrase you like, as it pertains to the slow witted being duped out of their cash, and it all applies. When it comes to the Branch Trumpidian cult, the grift is endless, and I can’t say I feel sorry for any of them. Shortly before the 2020 election, I was bombarded with an avalanche of fundraising text messages. Each was sent from... Read more

Biden Goes to War Against Nature

Last updated on: January 26, 2021 at 7:40 am By Susan Wright

Back in 2015, as the nation prepared itself for the end of the horrendous liberalism of the Obama administration, I found myself in the public eye as a political blogger. I began my career with RedState, shouting down Trumpism, promoting actual conservative candidates for the 2016 election year, and just as vociferously, defending and promoting then-North Carolina governor, Pat McCrory. McCrory is, arguably, one of the best – if not THE best – governors the Old North State has ever... Read more

The Price of Sedition

Last updated on: January 17, 2021 at 9:11 am By Susan Wright

Play Stupid games, get stupid prizes. It was the dumbest attempted coup in history. Rabid, frothing Trump cultists stormed the nation’s Capitol building on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to thwart the lawful, Constitutional duty of Congress to certify the electors for Joe Biden’s win. My initial reaction to the riot was anger, just as it is when I see any unbridled destructiveness. It doesn’t matter if it’s Black Lives Matter looting sporting goods stores, as if new Air...
