How the War on Christmas Was Won

Last updated on: December 17, 2018 at 10:27 am By Susan Wright

Gather around, true believers, as I tell the tale that will surely go down as both celebration, and a warning for generations to come, that we not fall back into what was once dark days, again. This is the tale of how Christmas in the United States was almost lost to us, but was rescued from the miry pit of political correctness and given back to us, whole and unscathed. The story begins a decade or more ago. The land... Read more

Did Trump’s Inaugural Fund and Super PAC Consist of Illegal Donations?

Last updated on: December 14, 2018 at 1:54 pm By Susan Wright

So I touched on this Thursday evening, and now we know a bit more about the investigation that has opened up, regarding the finances for Donald Trump’s inauguration committee. The gist of the Thursday evening revelation was that in the secret recordings made by former Trump attorney, Michael Cohen, he was heard having a conversation with a former Melania Trump advisor, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who served as a member of the inaugural committee. Wolkoff was apparently concerned about how the... Read more

Ex-Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen: I Will Not Be the Villain of His Story

Last updated on: December 14, 2018 at 10:05 am By Susan Wright

Former Trump personal attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen will have a lot of time between now and his incarceration to spill it all to the media. Apparently, things are really different with white collar crimes. He pleaded guilty to a host of offenses, but he’s not due to see the inside of a prison cell until March 2019. Well, at least he’ll get to be with his family through the holidays. In the meantime, however, expect to see a lot... Read more

Federal Prosecutors Investigating Trump Inauguration Spending

Last updated on: December 13, 2018 at 7:01 pm By Susan Wright

Well, when it rains, it pours, doesn’t it? It seems the conviction of former Trump attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen was the Pandora’s box of troubles for the Donald, because those stings keep coming. So here’s the latest, and it all goes back to that raid of Michael Cohen’s home, offices, and hotel rooms earlier this year, where feds netted numerous files and recordings of conversations Cohen was making, secretly. The Wall Street Journal broke this particular story earlier Thursday... Read more

Another Russian: Maria Butina Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy Against the U.S.

Last updated on: December 13, 2018 at 1:06 pm By Susan Wright

Are there still people attempting to push the notion that there has been no attempt by Russia to infiltrate and interfere in an American election, or are we at full “So what?” mode with those guys? Just kidding. I know the record never changes in that camp. That being said, Thursday yielded more weight to the charges of Russian meddling when 30 year old Maria Butina pleaded guilty in a federal court on charges of conspiracy to act as an... Read more

Prosecutors Seem Poised to Hit Trump With Felony Charges

Last updated on: December 12, 2018 at 6:31 pm By Susan Wright

So I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that the longtime personal attorney and “fixer” for Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in jail today, for a host of crimes, ranging from wire and tax fraud, to lying to Congress. It sounds like it was a pretty bad day for the man who “knows where all the bodies are buried.” If anyone could be said to be having a worse day, it would be President Trump. Certainly,... Read more

“REVOLUTION!” He Cries

Last updated on: December 12, 2018 at 12:10 pm By Susan Wright

President Trump is fantasizing about an authoritarian revolution, again. During an interview with Reuters, the president mused about the multiple court filings and potentially damaging connections he has with those who are now facing the music for their campaign shenanigans and troublesome foreign contacts. He began by decrying the payoff of his mistresses, porn star Stormy Daniels, and Playboy model Karen McDougal, as “no big deal.” I mean, Trump’s former attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen is about to go to...

Let’s Address Franklin Graham’s Refusal to Defend the Apostles’ Creed

Last updated on: December 11, 2018 at 3:50 pm By Susan Wright

So let’s take some time to revisit last week’s emotional, beautiful funeral services for our 41st president, George Herbert Walker Bush. I wrote several things about the service last week, with one of those things being to point out how the current president, Donald J. Trump, acted like a petulant child (per usual) and refused to participate in the service, by reciting the Apostles’ Creed. As I have pointed out, numerous times since that day, there would probably have been... Read more

A Review of U.S. – Saudi Relations Is Coming (and Who Could Be Caught up in It?)

Last updated on: December 10, 2018 at 4:40 pm By Susan Wright

Sometimes you just have to clean all the skeletons out of your closets, in order to start fresh. We are at a point in time where the stench of how the brutal murder of U.S. resident and journalist, Jamal Khashoggi was handled requires a thorough going over. Representative Eliot Engel, who will be taking over the House Foreign Affairs Committee, once Democrats take the majority in the House, is prepared to do just that. Maybe not coincidentally, that bit of... Read more

Conservatives, Stop Looking for Champions in the Supreme Court

Last updated on: December 10, 2018 at 12:32 pm By Susan Wright

I’m going to go ahead and preface this piece by reminding everyone that I stood up for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during the debacle that became of his confirmation hearings. He had his childhood brought up and had to face the full fury of the hypocritical, “woke” left, who have suddenly deemed dumb kid antics as proof that someone will grow to be a monster. He was accused of being a drunk and a violent rapist, even though his... Read more
