Southern Baptist Minister Blasts Evangelical “Leaders” Like Jerry Falwell Jr

Last updated on: January 3, 2019 at 2:31 pm By Susan Wright

I’ve made it no secret that I’m deeply disappointed in the American Christian church body, these days. I’m sickened by those who twist the Word of God to promote their liberal worldview, rather than reflect the truth of God. There is no salvation in their efforts, because they operate under a corrupted, false theology. I’m equally sickened by a large portion of the evangelical community that have put a profane, unrepentant man – Donald Trump – on a holy pedestal... Read more

Trump Rewrites Cold War History – in Favor of the USSR

Last updated on: January 2, 2019 at 5:48 pm By Susan Wright

Our president is not a Russian asset. Our president is not a Russian asset. Our president is not a Russian asset. Keep telling yourself that, over and over, until it settles in your mind. Perhaps you can ease that queasy feeling in your gut. Maybe you can convince yourself that we didn’t lose our nation to a pawn of Vladimir Putin in the 2016 election. I’m sorry. I don’t think there’s any mantra we could adopt that would convince us... Read more

Jerry Falwell Jr Rejects Morality, Christianity in Government

Last updated on: January 2, 2019 at 10:39 am By Susan Wright

Well, here we are again. For the new year, I have to begin by, once more, reminding everyone that I am an alumna of Liberty University. I do this in the interest of full disclosure, so that when I have to burn Liberty President Jerry Falwell Jr, no one points it out. To be fair, I was a student in a pre-Trump America, oblivious to just what a scoundrel and status-seeking clown Falwell was. On Tuesday, The Washington Post ran... Read more

Trump’s New Jersey Club Benefiting From Employing Illegal Immigrants

Last updated on: December 31, 2018 at 12:07 pm By Susan Wright

Let’s just go ahead and close the year with another Trump legal scandal. I mean, 2018 has been full of revelations of our president’s shifty, shady shenanigans, so what’s one more, right? And as it is with other scandals involving Donald Trump, this one highlights his glaring hypocrisy. In this case, it amounts to, “Illegal immigrant help is ok for me, but not for thee.” Prosecutors in New Jersey, along with the FBI, are taking a look at President Trump’s... Read more

The LGBT Community Needs a Zero Tolerance Policy for Pedophilia

Last updated on: December 30, 2018 at 3:13 pm By Susan Wright

Ok. So this story has been floating around out there for several weeks and I’ve been debating with myself as to if I wanted to cover it, at all. The main reason I’ve avoided it is because I feel a child is being exploited, not for his good, but for the greed and selfish needs of the adults who should be taking care of him. Perhaps if the attention is taken away from young Desmond Napoles, the 11 year old... Read more

OH NO: New Court Filing in Russia Probe Includes Nude Selfie

Last updated on: December 28, 2018 at 1:00 pm By Susan Wright

Ok. It looks like we’re going to have to talk about this. To begin with, a message to the young people reading from your Auntie Susan: Youngsters, do NOT take nude selfies, for any amount of ego or peer pressure. Do not save them on your phone. Do not share them with friends. Do not allow others, even if they say they “love” you to take or have nude photos of you. I don’t care if the Kardashians do it.... Read more

Cell Phone Signal Confirms Parts of Disputed Trump-Russia Dossier

Last updated on: December 27, 2018 at 2:09 pm By Susan Wright

Say, remember that Trump-Russia dossier, compiled by a former British intelligence agent, Christopher Steele, that pretty much acted as the genesis point for the congressional Russia probe? It was a disturbing bit of unsubstantiated info, commissioned first by the conservative website, the Washington Free Beacon, dropped, and then picked up as oppo-research by members of the Hillary Clinton campaign. Among some of the bits in the dossier were reports of secretive meetings between Trump associates and Russian officials, as well... Read more

SURPRISE: Trump Stumbles Through Holiday Visit to Troops in Iraq

Last updated on: December 27, 2018 at 10:48 am By Susan Wright

So on Wednesday, I hit President Trump for his pathetic bone spurs excuse to get out of serving in Vietnam. A story out of The New York Times highlighted the account of daughters of a former podiatrist out of Jamaica, Queens, who obliged Trump’s father, Fred Trump, by writing up a phony diagnosis of bone spurs for young Donnie, after he’d exhausted his education deferments. It was apparently a common ailment among the pampered progeny of the wealthy and powerful,... Read more

A Tale of Two Podiatrists, the Vietnam War, and Favors for Fred Trump

Last updated on: December 26, 2018 at 9:59 am By Susan Wright

We can probably just file this under “News that is shocking to absolutely no one.” In fact, there has long been questions regarding how Donald Trump managed to convince the draft board, back in the late 60s, that he had bone spurs and was, therefore, unable to serve in the military during the Vietnam war. Trump, many years later, would boast to New York shock jock, Howard Stern, that his personal Vietnam was avoiding sexually transmitted diseases. The facts are,... Read more

CRISIS: Trump Doesn’t Know, Doesn’t Want to Know About ISIS

Last updated on: December 24, 2018 at 10:35 am By Susan Wright

Well, first of all, let me wish you all a Merry Christmas! If you’re like me, you’re probably wishing for a 25th Amendment declaration under the national Christmas tree. Also like me, however, you probably doubt anyone in Congress has the guts to start that ball rolling. Seriously, after last week, it’s harder to imagine the thought process that is keeping our lawmakers from making a move, but more and more, I’m beginning to hear the whispers that even among...
