Special Counsel Says Former Trump Campaign Chairman, Manafort, Violated His Plea Agreement

Last updated on: November 26, 2018 at 10:47 pm By Susan Wright

Well, somebody is going to be wearing an orange jumpsuit for a very long time. The “somebody” in this particular scenario is Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman for Donald Trump. Monday brought bad news for Mr. Manafort, in that special counsel Robert Mueller made a new filing, alleging that Manafort further lied to federal prosecutors, after he’d made a plea agreement to work with them. “After signing the plea agreement, Manafort committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal...

Panicked Trump Wants Mueller to Interview People not Involved in the Russia Probe

Last updated on: November 26, 2018 at 2:47 pm By Susan Wright

Add “federal investigations” to the long and ever-growing list of things Donald Trump is utterly clueless about. He spent his Monday morning “executive time” in an all-too-familiar Twitter rage, spitting the usual bile about special counsel Robert Mueller and the Russia probe. I mean, sure, there’s a lot going on. On Monday, former Trump foreign policy campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, also known as the “low-level coffee boy,” was set to report to authorities and begin his two week sentence for... Read more

New Report: Trump Wanted “Payback” in Oil From Middle Eastern Nations

Last updated on: November 26, 2018 at 10:50 am By Susan Wright

You can probably go ahead and add this new report to the long list of evidentiary proof of Donald Trump’s incompetence as a world leader (as well as an utter embarrassment to the reputation of the United States). Sources have spoken with Axios about an obsession President Trump has with raiding the resources of other nations as “payment” for American efforts during the wars in the Middle East. In 2017, early in the Trump administration, the president even went so... Read more

Trump Slams the “Unwanted” From South of the Border

Last updated on: November 25, 2018 at 2:45 pm By Susan Wright

There’s a way of making your point with gentleness and class, especially when it comes to the very delicate situation of border security. As we speak, there are thousands of South American and Central American migrants who want entrance to the United States. These migrants are risking much to make the trek, in order to escape either abject poverty or violent gangs in their native countries. Are they owed entry? Not at all. There is a legal way of going... Read more

New Book Plans to Capitalize on Trump’s Paranoia

Last updated on: November 25, 2018 at 9:47 am By Susan Wright

The comparisons to President Richard Nixon’s irrational paranoia just are not fair. Donald Trump is exceedingly more paranoid than President Nixon. Ok. To be fair, if it were possible for such a petulant, spoiled elitist to be anything but irrational, paranoid, or easily twisted, President Trump hardly has the chance to prove it. From the earliest days of his campaign for the presidency, he has surrounded himself with the slimy kinds of rat-weasels that thrive on keeping men in his... Read more

Reagan Alum Shocks Fox Business Host in Heated Exchange

Last updated on: November 24, 2018 at 9:32 am By Susan Wright

What happens when someone from the Reagan administration clashes with one of the devoted MAGA drones working for American Pravda (Fox News)? David Stockman, who served as the director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Reagan (from 1981 to 1985) appeared on Fox Business on Friday, with host, Charles Payne. Stockman was brought on the show to talk about the drop of the Dow Jones industrial average that occurred at the start of the day. His assessment... Read more

More Plea Negotiations in Russia Probe

Last updated on: November 23, 2018 at 3:34 pm By Susan Wright

So what does he know? Jerome Corsi, for those who aren’t familiar with the name, is an author and alt-right basement dweller. His more familiar compatriots are Trump associate and walking pustule, Roger Stone, as well as InfoWars lunatic, Alex Jones. Corsi is also a premiere “birther,” having written a book about former President Barack Obama in 2011 called, “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” You can probably draw a straight line from the book title to the corresponding internet hoax, along...

President Trump Pushes Politics Above Troops, Thanksgiving Tradition

Last updated on: November 23, 2018 at 10:04 am By Susan Wright

I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe Thanksgiving holiday, surrounded by loved ones and content with the day. For most Americans, the day is about family, food, celebration, fellowship, and even football. Just an update for those who may be wondering: No, I didn’t spend the day arguing over the dinner table about politics. The topic didn’t even come up. With that said, I also hope that we took time to remember those who may not have been able to... Read more

Florida Middle School at Center of Controversy Over Transgender Policy

Last updated on: November 22, 2018 at 9:46 am By Susan Wright

A girl walks into a boys locker room… Ok, that’s not the opening of a bawdy joke, but a real-life thing that school administrators and staff are now forced to deal with, in this upside-down world of “wokeness.” In what has become a familiar story, at this point, a Florida physical education teacher is faced with the possible loss of his livelihood because his Christian beliefs have slammed up against the ill-advised transgender student policies of his employers. Robert Oppedisano... Read more

Justice John Roberts Openly Rebukes President Trump

Last updated on: November 21, 2018 at 4:40 pm By Susan Wright

He’s right, and I’m glad he said it. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts is speaking out against a petulant president, who doesn’t understand his role as president, nor does he understand the role of the courts. On Tuesday, President Trump answered questions from the press, in regards to a recent ruling by Federal District Court Judge Jon Tigar. Tigar, who is out of San Francisco, put a temporary hold on the Trump administration’s call to cease consideration for asylum applications... Read more
