Rep. Justin Amash Has the Right Idea About Washington’s Politics

Last updated on: March 10, 2019 at 5:18 pm By Susan Wright

Yeah, I can’t say I blame him. In fact, I don’t get how any free-thinking, liberty minded person could work in Washington D.C. these days, and maintain a sense of sanity or principle, given this new age of declaring loyalty to a person, rather than the idealism of conservatism. I’ve mentioned this on several occasions since the 2016 election, but I’ll reiterate here, as a preface to this piece: You don’t make politicians into heroes. They’re only human, fallible, and...

Trumpism or Manhood? Glenn Beck Can’t Tell

Last updated on: March 7, 2019 at 11:16 am By Susan Wright

In this world there are sycophants and suck-ups, and then there are the next level grovelers that make even the most accepting of us cringe with a heady mixture of embarrassment and disgust. These are the desperate bootlickers, so beholden to their drive to be seen as the ultimate Renfield figure to their chosen master, that there’s nothing too outrageous or demeaning. They go all in, dignity and self-respect be damned. We’ve seen far too many of those sorts in... Read more

Giuliani-Connected Lawyers Hoped to Keep Michael Cohen on Team Trump

Last updated on: March 6, 2019 at 7:28 pm By Susan Wright

Well, this could be troublesome for quite a few people. So let’s start here: When is the last time anyone heard from President Trump’s attorney and potentially unstable mouthpiece, Rudy Giuliani? Does it seem like someone stuffed him in a closet, somewhere? If they haven’t, yet, after this ABC News report, they may. This particular tale of Trumpian intrigue involves former Trump attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, as well. For those who were glued to their television sets last week,... Read more

Against Advice of Officials, Trump Also Demanded Daughter’s Security Clearance

Last updated on: March 6, 2019 at 11:53 am By Susan Wright

From Dictionary.com nepotism [nep-uh-tiz-uh m] noun patronage bestowed or favoritism shown on the basis of family relationship, as in business and politics: She was accused of nepotism when she made her nephew an officer of the firm. Let’s just keep that one in mind, while we consider the fact that nepotism is not always a good thing. I mean, if you own a small business and it’s family owned, no biggie, right? When you’re the president of the United States and you eschew the cautionary advice of seasoned professionals, for the sake of rewarding family with powerful positions which affect the entire nation, and for which they are not...

Democrats Press in on Jared Kushner’s Questionable Security Clearance

Last updated on: March 5, 2019 at 8:20 pm By Susan Wright

Well, this could certainly screw up plans for the family holiday dinner. As we’ve seen unfolding, with Democrats now at the helm of the House, they intend to give the Trump family political grift a thorough – often uncomfortable – going over. C’mon. You knew there would be a price to pay for Republican representatives acting like Trump’s personal guard dogs for two years. With politics, the possibility of the reins of power changing hands is always just an election... Read more

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Chief of Staff Accused of Hiding Campaign Funds

Last updated on: March 4, 2019 at 7:03 pm By Susan Wright

Somehow, I knew we would end up here. I just didn’t expect it to be so soon! I mean, serious question here for the defenders of freshmen Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her radical, reckless, oh-so-woke socialist policies: At what point would you say her scam of pushing an oppressive, economy-killing policy on the rest of us, while using Congress as a sweet, sweet grift opportunity for she and her boyfriend will begin to rub you the wrong way? So back... Read more

Democrats Panic Over Anti-Semitic Musings of Freshmen Colleagues

Last updated on: March 3, 2019 at 11:57 pm By Susan Wright

I’ve seen some Democrats really break out the champagne and party favors over what appears to be the internal disintegration of the Republican party. I can certainly understand why. With the introduction of vile Trumpism into the bloodstream, like a septic infection, the party of faith, family, and smaller government has been broken. As the establishment, entrenched Republican power brokers bend whatever vague principles they once claimed to stand on, in order to appease the Trumpian mob, there are actual... Read more

Sean Hannity May Have Made Himself a Federal Witness

Last updated on: March 1, 2019 at 4:33 pm By Susan Wright

Last year, GOP strategist Rick Wilson released an amazing book titled, “Everything Trump Touches Dies.” You may have seen the hashtag #ETTD across social media. For the past several years, we’ve seen the outcome for those who entrench themselves too deeply into the operations of and in service to Donald Trump. From Carter Page to Michael Cohen, and everyone in between, we’ve seen how associating with this abominable mistake of a presidency can result in ruin. Nobody gets out unscathed.... Read more

Florida Rep Matt Gaetz Under Investigation by Florida Bar

Last updated on: February 27, 2019 at 5:53 pm By Susan Wright

Well, this is a bit of good news for the day, and here’s hoping justice is served. So on Tuesday night, I asked the question: Did Florida Representative Matt Gaetz attempt to intimidate a witness in a federal investigation? The answer was an unequivocal YES. Specifically, on the night before former attorney and fixer for Donald Trump, Michael Cohen was to sit and give public testimony before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, the obedient Trump mouthpiece lobbed an open...

Did Florida Rep Matt Gaetz Attempt Witness Intimidation? Yes, He Did

Last updated on: February 26, 2019 at 11:33 pm By Susan Wright

Do you want to know how serious former Trump attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen’s three day appearance before Congress is for Trump World? You can always tell by how frothing and over the top the reactions are from President Trump or his foot soldiers if there is a 4-alarm fire on the horizon. Judging by Tuesday’s ill-advised tweet from smarmy Trump toady, Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, I’d say the marching orders have been put forth by the president: STOP MICHAEL... Read more
