Former Trump Surrogate, Christie, Sees Big Trouble for the President in New York

Last updated on: December 9, 2018 at 4:20 pm By Susan Wright

It would seem that everyone is looking at last week’s news as ominous and a signal that stormy legal seas are ahead for the president, except the president. Then again, President Trump’s unhinged behavior across social media suggests that he’s more upset over the information in the court filings against Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, and Paul Manafort, than he’s saying. All three men were part of Donald Trump’s campaign efforts. Flynn went on to work as national security adviser in... Read more

Another One Bites the Dust: White House Chief of Staff John Kelly Makes His Escape

Last updated on: December 8, 2018 at 2:59 pm By Susan Wright

So the rumors for this one have been floating around for some time. We all knew it wasn’t a matter of “if” White House Chief of Staff John Kelly would bail on the Trump administration, but “when” he would leave. When the ship is taking on water and its total submersion into the murky depths seems imminent, then I guess there’s no better time. President Trump finally announced Kelly’s departure from the White House on Saturday: “John Kelly will be... Read more

Mueller Court Filing Breakdown (Nobody Tell President Trump)

Last updated on: December 7, 2018 at 8:45 pm By Susan Wright

Let’s begin this piece with a reaction tweet from our president, then work our way back, from there. Totally clears the President. Thank you! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2018 Wow. He seems confident. Or maybe among his many deficiencies we can add “basic reading comprehension skills.” So we’re talking about special counsel Robert Mueller’s court filings today, in regards to the cases against former Trump personal attorney, Michael Cohen, and former Trump campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. We... Read more

Rex Tillerson Suggests Trump Would Ask Him to Make Unlawful Things Happen

Last updated on: December 7, 2018 at 12:42 pm By Susan Wright

When this insane age of Trumpism ends, by whatever means, you have to believe that there are a ton of stories to expect – not all of them good. This will certainly be one for the history books. Sociologists and politicos alike will study this period for ages, wondering what was the impetus for a nation to fall so far off the edge of sanity. I suppose in a world that can no longer tell the difference between girls and... Read more

VIDEO: Trump Pouts, as Remaining Presidents Recite the Apostles’ Creed

Last updated on: December 5, 2018 at 7:50 pm By Susan Wright

So what is the Apostles’ Creed? It is the oldest creed of the Christian church, and while not specifically written by the original 12 disciples of Christ, it is commonly used as a statement of the Christian faith. It goes: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead,...

Trump on Debt Crisis: Not My Problem

Last updated on: December 5, 2018 at 1:33 pm By Susan Wright

As I sit and watch the state funeral service of our 41st president, George H.W. Bush, I’m struck by the legacy he left, the people he touched, friendships made, and policies enacted with the intentions of making the nation and the world a better, freer place. With that in mind, I’m jackhammered back to the present, and I have to wonder what will be the legacy of President Donald J. Trump? It may still be too early to tell, especially... Read more

Citing “Substantial Assistance” in Russia Probe, Mueller Recommends No Jail Time for Flynn

Last updated on: December 5, 2018 at 8:33 am By Susan Wright

So according to special counsel Robert Mueller, the type and amount of help his team has received from former national security adviser, retired Lt. General Michael Flynn, is such that his sentence should be little to no jail time. That was the overall gist of the sentencing paperwork that was submitted to the courts. The exact wording listed his “substantial assistance.” The question now becomes, “What makes up substantial assistance?” That’s where things get a bit trickier. Large portions of... Read more

Michael Flynn and His Involvement in Russia Probe Set to Be Revealed in Court Filing

Last updated on: December 4, 2018 at 9:13 am By Susan Wright

Say, remember retired Lt. General Michael Flynn? He was Donald Trump’s national security adviser for about a minute. Flynn’s service to the Trump White House ended badly. He was the first, very high profile member of the president’s team to be forced to step away, because of his questionable activities with members of the Russian government during the 2016 election season. He was also the first high profile member of Trump’s administration to agree to work with special counsel Robert... Read more

How Confident Is Robert Mueller in the Case He Is Building?

Last updated on: December 3, 2018 at 12:03 pm By Susan Wright

So how confident is special counsel Robert Mueller in the work he’s been doing since May 2017? Mueller was assigned as special counsel by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein because of two events. The first was the recusal of then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions from the ongoing Russia probe. Sessions had been implicated in the probe, after it was determined that he’d had his own communications with Russian officials, during the course of the 2016 election, while he was campaigning for...

Last updated on: December 2, 2018 at 9:15 am By Susan Wright

As you’ve all heard by now, one of the last living presidents has passed away. George Herbert Walker Bush, our 41st president passed away on Friday evening, surrounded by friends and family.
