Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Celebrates the Loss of Thousands of Jobs to New York City

Last updated on: February 14, 2019 at 4:23 pm By Susan Wright

The top definition for “self own” at Urban Dictionary reads as such: Self Own: When you do something so stupid, you own yourself like a f**ktard! jimmy self own ‘d himself #f**ktard#dumbas**#own#pwn Let’s go ahead and add the state of New York, and the district (NY-14, Queens, Bronx) of freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the examples of self own-dom.

Trump Pal Slams the West in Defense of Saudi Arabia

Last updated on: February 13, 2019 at 3:47 pm By Susan Wright

Tom Barrack. You’ve probably heard the name, but in the event you have not, it’s a name I’ve mentioned before, specifically in regards to the investigation into Donald Trump’s inauguration committee. Barrack is a friend of Trump’s and served as the chairman of the inauguration committee. His name has been brought up often, as the investigation carries out. This particular story, however, has nothing to do with the investigation into inaugural spending – not yet. At least, not on the... Read more

Trump’s Anti-Press Rhetoric Leads to an Attack on a Member of the Press

Last updated on: February 12, 2019 at 3:50 pm By Susan Wright

These are the very things about Donald Trump and his faithful MAGA devotees that should both concern and enrage every other decent American. These are the very things I keep pointing out as a reason to reject and fight back against the cancer of Trumpism. Honestly, I don’t care what your views are on the media. I know that most mainstream media leans left and their coverage of the news, whatever it may be, is always slanted from that angle.... Read more

Source of National Enquirer Story on Bezos Affair Nailed Down

Last updated on: February 11, 2019 at 9:04 am By Susan Wright

In the first piece I wrote about the extortion drama between Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, and American Media Inc. (AMI), the parent company of trash tabloid, The National Enquirer, there was a single, short mention of at least one potential suspect responsible for leaking Bezos’ private texts and images. It seems now, Bezos’ investigator, Gavin de Becker, has zeroed in and feels confident that he’s got the goods on the person responsible. The Daily Beast was able to get the... Read more

Did Someone in Government Call for Amazon’s Jeff Bezo’s Phone to Be Hacked?

Last updated on: February 8, 2019 at 1:36 pm By Susan Wright

On Thursday evening, the news of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ explosive claims of extortion and blackmail by Trump pal, David Pecker’s organization, American Media Inc. (parent company of tabloid magazine, The National Enquirer) was the top trending topic across social media. Bezos made the bold decision to post the whole story for the world to see. Apparently, his hiring of an investigator to track down how AMI came in possession of private text messages and information regarding an affair he... Read more

Amazon’s Jeff Bezos Calls Out National Enquirer Owner for “Blackmail”

Last updated on: February 7, 2019 at 9:21 pm By Susan Wright

So if you were to put up David Pecker (CEO of American Media Inc., parent company of grocery store trash mag, The National Enquirer) against Jeff Bezos (founder and CEO of Amazon, richest man in the world) in a no-holds-barred fantasy cage match, my money would be on Bezos. You don’t mess with the Bezos. With that in mind, the saga of Bezos affair, along with his divorce from wife, MacKenzie, which was splashed all over the cover of the... Read more

Democrats With House Intel Are Restarting the Russia Probe in a BIG Way

Last updated on: February 7, 2019 at 1:19 pm By Susan Wright

Did I say President Trump was in for endless investigations? Well, things just got a bit thicker, on that front. When Republicans held the majority in both the House and Senate, they pretty much toed the party line and acted as shields for the newly crowned king, rather than co-equal checks on an incompetent, inexperienced mountebank’s destructive (and possibly compromised) impulses. Donald Trump was a really dumb kid in a candy store, and the Republican Congress acted as his over-indulgent... Read more

Rapists and Racism: Drama Unfolds Among Virginia Democrats

Last updated on: February 6, 2019 at 5:45 pm By Susan Wright

Have you been following the Democrat drama coming out of the state of Virginia? Several weeks ago, the recently seated Governor Ralph Northam found himself in hot water, after an old yearbook photo from his med school days emerged. A picture on his page of the yearbook featured someone dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood, while another individual was made up with racially insensitive “blackface.” Northam released an apology on the day the picture was revealed.

Endless Investigations: Trump Inaugural Committee Hit With Subpoena

Last updated on: February 5, 2019 at 2:26 pm By Susan Wright

If you think Donald Trump’s troubles are over, as soon as special counsel Robert Mueller’s report drops, think again. This is the problem with electing a man whose entire history is one of deceit, dirty dealing, con artistry, and debt. He didn’t leave his shoddy character back in Manhattan. He took it with him to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and those chickens are coming home to roost. Elections have consequences. You voted for a tabloid/reality TV presidency, and that’s what you’ve...

Could the GOP Erupt Into Civil War Over Trump’s Wall?

Last updated on: February 4, 2019 at 5:35 pm By Susan Wright

Let Civil War II begin! I’m not talking about conservatives versus liberals versus whatever Republicans under the sway of Trumpism have mutated into (Hint: It looks a lot like big government liberals). Take the liberals out of play, for the time being. The civil war currently brewing is between those smaller government, Coolidge/Buckley/Reagan conservatives, and the worshipful Trumpian toadies, who have confused the role of “president” with “king.” There are precious few of the former, unfortunately, and far too many...
