Trump Doubles Down on Praise of Saudi Arabia

Last updated on: November 21, 2018 at 9:21 am By Susan Wright

Just when you think he can’t go any lower… So on Tuesday, we talked about President Trump’s statement on the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. Kicking off his statement with “America first!” and “The world is a very dangerous place!” the reality TV president found a way to blame the victim, while also throwing heavy support to his murderers. In a recent report, the CIA noted that it was more likely than not that Saudi Crown Prince... Read more

Trump’s Cowardly Statement Makes Murdered Journalist out to Be the Bad Guy

Last updated on: November 21, 2018 at 7:54 am By Susan Wright

Whatever is going on between President Trump, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and the Saudi royal family, it’s bubbling over into the realm of justice, in these United States. So, for those who missed the latest update on murdered Washington Post contributor, Jamal Khashoggi, the CIA has determined that this was not an interrogation gone wrong, nor was it an unsanctioned kidnapping, that resulted in a fight, and Khashoggi’s subsequent death. According to what the CIA now believe, based on the... Read more

You Will Not Get Rich in the Dinar Scam

Last updated on: November 20, 2018 at 12:36 pm By Susan Wright

Is this MAGA or MDGA? That would be “Make the Dinar Great Again.” In the latest parody-to-real-life thing happening in the kingdom of MAGA, we see a nearly decade-old scam coming to vivid life for the faithful clingers to every, incoherent word of Donald Trump. In this particular scam, Trump supporters have decided to invest hefty sums of money into the Iraqi dinar, a currency worth less than an American penny. The goal is to have enough invested in this...

No, Jesus Was NOT Polyamorous

Last updated on: November 19, 2018 at 11:17 am By Susan Wright

If you’re still not convinced that there is heresy creeping into the Christian church, here’s exhibit #483. It would seem there are those that would rather we overlook some of the corruption that is being passed off as “Christianity,” these days, but the loving thing to do is stand on Biblical truth and point out error. It’s not just loving – keeping in mind that the hope is to reach those who will hear, and spare them the sure destruction... Read more

Trump Hits Rep. Adam Schiff With Vulgar Reference

Last updated on: November 18, 2018 at 7:48 pm By Susan Wright

Where were you when it hit you that America elected a Twitter troll to the presidency? Donald Trump’s desperation over losing the House to the Democrats is only beginning to peak, giving the public a good view of his panic. Meanwhile, Representative Adam Schiff (D-N.Y.) is set to take over as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. That being the case, I suspect we’ll see different behavior surrounding the Russia probe than we saw with Representative Devin Nunes, who spent... Read more

Trump Said to Be Questioning the Loyalty of Mike Pence

Last updated on: November 17, 2018 at 8:31 am By Susan Wright

Who among us has seen the hit movie, “Scarface,” starring Al Pacino? For the two of you who haven’t, Pacino plays Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant who rises from murderous hitman to a dangerous drug overlord. Montana falls deeply into the role of brutal killer and cocaine king, making a fortune, but also violating the first rule of the business – Don’t get high on your own supply. His eventual, violent end came because of the drug use that plunged... Read more

WikiLeaks Boss, Julian Assange, Named in DOJ Court Filings (but Can We Get Him?)

Last updated on: November 16, 2018 at 10:48 am By Susan Wright

So what’s going on with Julian Assange, the snowy-haired boss of WikiLeaks? Something is brewing. Everybody is talking, so I’m going to take a stab at it, myself. Let’s first make sure everyone is on the same page about who (and what) Julian Assange is. He’s more than simply some tech guru or hacker mastermind. If you’re the Swedish Prosecution Authority, he’s a rapist on the run. In 2010, several women went to authorities with claims of sexual assault and... Read more

Disloyal: Trump Mocks His Top Sycophant Behind the Scenes

Last updated on: November 15, 2018 at 11:40 am By Susan Wright

Am I laughing? I’m laughing. A lot. For three years I’ve been going hard at American Pravda (Fox News, for those of you who’ve missed a few of my columns) for their worshipful, slobbering acquiescence to Donald Trump. Truly, when there were so many solid, serious conservative choices to be the 2016 GOP nominee, Fox News actively worked to torpedo the chances of all of them, in favor of the barking carnival act. To be fair, every other news network... Read more

STRESSED: Trump’s Morning Twitter Rages Take on Fresh Desperation

Last updated on: November 15, 2018 at 10:02 am By Susan Wright

President Trump is having a very bad, no good week. As wave after wave of bad press rolls in, beginning with the truckloads of ready-made late night joke material about rain and his infamous hair, extending to a series of White House shakeups, there have been few wins to speak of. Notably, when the president lashed out last week, firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replacing him with his chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, he was shocked by the immediate... Read more

POLL: Majority Are Looking for a Post-Trump 2020

Last updated on: November 14, 2018 at 2:23 pm By Susan Wright

His numbers are bigly. They just may not be in the direction he would like them to be. The latest Monmouth University Poll is not exactly embracing President Trump, and if this climate holds until 2020, the Trumplican Party could be staring down the barrel of epic defeat. Among those things the poll explored, there was the question of whether the nation would be better with somebody else at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The majority polled think so. According to the...
