Chicago Pastor Catches Heat for Expelling Crossdresser From Church

Last updated on: November 14, 2018 at 10:30 am By Susan Wright

He had to know he was going to be stepping on some toes, delivering such a firm rebuke of sin in the church, while situated in the liberal stronghold of Chicago, Illinois. The “he” in question is Pastor Antonio Rocquemore, head of Power House International Ministries. Pastor Rocquemore is catching heat from the LGBT community for a powerful video clip that was posted recently, showing him call out a member of the congregation – a male – who had made the...

First Lady Takes Aim at Top National Security Aide

Last updated on: November 13, 2018 at 3:55 pm By Susan Wright

First Lady Melania Trump, first thought to be a reluctant captive, the trophy wife roped into the spotlight by her wealthy, septuagenarian husband’s scheming and lust for power, is apparently beginning to feel herself in her current role. So remember the earlier discussion about President Trump pushing out some more members of his administration (this time, Homeland Security head, Kirstjen Nielsen)? The list is growing, and Mrs. Trump is helping. The latest name is that of deputy national security adviser... Read more

Reports Suggest More Indictments in Russia Probe Coming as Soon as This Week

Last updated on: November 13, 2018 at 12:56 pm By Susan Wright

Watch the desperation of President Trump, this week. We can always tell when something major is about to drop by how frantic and spastic his tweets become. A fine for instance is this noontime Tuesday tweet, where he urges his cult-like followers, once again, to not listen to the news, but to trust in him, and his relationship with North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un. The story in the New York Times concerning North Korea developing missile bases is inaccurate.... Read more

Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen Said to Be Next Trump Admin Ouster

Last updated on: November 13, 2018 at 9:26 am By Susan Wright

He was born the proverbial, spoiled rich kid. In his youth, he was a thug, cruel and selfish, encouraged by his daddy’s wealth to indulge in his worst impulses, knowing that the children of the privileged were not often held to the same standards of societal conduct. That was the direction of his life, until an incident with a knife became the final straw, and Fred Trump plucked up his middle child and shuffled him off to a military school.... Read more

Acting Attorney General Whitaker Shrinks From Previous Comments About Russia Probe

Last updated on: November 12, 2018 at 11:08 am By Susan Wright

Newly named acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker came under an intense amount of heat last week, as politicos reacted to the forced resignation of his former boss, Jeff Sessions. Sessions was an obedient lackey to Donald Trump from early in his candidacy, and also through the first two years of his presidency, except on a single issue – The Russia probe. Sessions recused himself in the early months of 2017, after it was discovered that he had his own communications... Read more

HE KNEW: New Report Claims Trump Played Full Role in Payoff of Mistresses

Last updated on: November 9, 2018 at 6:28 pm By Susan Wright

The man is a pathological liar. The Wall Street Journal released a report on Friday that ties President Trump to the same campaign finance violations that are sending his former personal attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen to prison. To be more specific, Donald Trump paid off his mistresses to keep them from potentially ruining his chances at becoming president. Apparently, even with voters willing to overlook his ignorance regarding policy and the 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape, where he brags about... Read more

WATCH: The Promise of a Beating Heart May Have Saved a Baby’s Life

Last updated on: November 9, 2018 at 4:43 pm By Susan Wright

Abortion is murder. There. I said it. I am unapologetically pro-life. The taking of innocent life is never right, and should always be held as an abomination in a society of supposedly civilized human beings. The latest statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO) state that nearly half of the pregnancies in the United States today are unintended. “Accidents” is the term commonly used, but let’s take that fine point off and clear this up: If you’re “practicing” baby-making, by...

False Prophet for Trump Delivers More Alt-Right Mined Prophecies

Last updated on: November 9, 2018 at 10:30 am By Susan Wright

On Wednesday, the day after the midterm elections, I laid out how those who have turned giving false prophecy into a profitable scam were once again exposed, when instead of a “red tsunami” at the polls, we saw Congress divided. As we all know by now, Democrats took back control of the House and Republicans clung by a hair to the Senate. That was far from the overwhelming Republican victory “prophets” like Charlie Shamp and Mark Taylor had claimed God... Read more

More on Acting AG Whitaker: He Comes to the Office as Top Lawman With Dirty Hands

Last updated on: November 8, 2018 at 3:54 pm By Susan Wright

So there’s more to talk about, as it pertains to Matthew Whitaker, President Trump’s dubious pick to step in as acting attorney general, after forcing Jeff Sessions to tender his resignation on Wednesday. Whitaker, who formerly served as Sessions’ chief of staff, was no doubt because he is a Trump devotee, and also because of his negative views of the Russia probe. Trump has been angling to have a Justice Department that serves as his personal buffer against the laws... Read more

Reports Name Chris Christie as Potential Sessions Replacement

Last updated on: November 8, 2018 at 11:45 am By Susan Wright

So more McDonald’s runs in service to the president? With Jeff Sessions finally put out of his wretched misery and sent on his way, to be replaced, temporarily, by a Trump sycophant (Matthew Whitaker) with absolutely no chance of ever being confirmed to the role, it’s time to start tossing out potential names for a more permanent placement. It won’t be Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. He fell out of favor with Dear Leader when he stepped in and appointed... Read more
