Chuck Grassley Just Moved Against One of Brett Kavanaugh’s Accusers

Last updated on: October 25, 2018 at 2:48 pm By Susan Wright

I’ll allow it. Well, the circus surrounding now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh isn’t over, yet. I mean, sure. He’s been confirmed. He is, as I pointed out, now one of the venerated members of the Supreme Court of the United States. The initial hope was that things would settle down and we could turn our attentions to other pressing matters. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has identified some loose ends that need tying up, however. Grassley announced on Thursday... Read more

Oregon Bakers Take Their Religious Freedom Case to the Supreme Court

Last updated on: October 25, 2018 at 11:57 am By Susan Wright

I’m going to hold this one up in prayer. The injustice inflicted upon the Klein family by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) should have never stood in a nation that claims to have freedom of religion and speech. And no matter your political persuasion or religious beliefs (or lack of), this is something we should be in agreement on. It absolutely is of a concern of every American, because if it happened to them, there may come... Read more

Latest Targets of Would-Be Bomber: Joe Biden and Robert De Niro

Last updated on: October 25, 2018 at 8:53 am By Susan Wright

So now the question becomes: Are the packages with potentially explosive devices being constructed and sent by one crazed individual, or is this the work of a group? The early hours of Thursday bring news of more packages, more targets. The latest reports of suspicious packages come out of Delaware, where former Vice President Joe Biden was apparently the intended recipient, and downtown Manhattan, with actor Robert De Niro (an outspoken critic of Donald Trump) as the addressee. NBC News... Read more

The Hot Takes on the Mailed Explosive Devices Are Horrible

Last updated on: October 24, 2018 at 5:01 pm By Susan Wright

Since I’m trying to cover all angles on the news of the day – the explosive devices sent to various liberal figures – let me catch everyone up on the sweltering fever swamp of bad takes. First, an update to my previous story. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo had announced during the day that his office had received a suspicious package, as well. I don’t know if this was Cuomo attempting to be a part of the day’s events, or... Read more

More Explosive Devices Target Eric Holder, John Brennan, Among Others

Last updated on: October 24, 2018 at 2:17 pm By Susan Wright

So today has been busy. And frightening. To date, no one has been hurt, but after the initial report of explosive devices being sent to the Clinton family, as well as to former President Barack Obama, there have been additional reports of mailed explosives, and they all seem quite specific in their targeting. Investor, George Soros was the first to receive what is being described as a rudimentary explosive device in the mail on Monday. Unlike the other packages, this... Read more

The Clintons and Barack Obama Targeted by Would-Be Bomber

Last updated on: October 24, 2018 at 10:27 am By Susan Wright

This is inexcusable. It must stop. I fear, however, that political discourse in this nation is only a step away from outright civil war, and we don’t currently have a Lincoln in the White House. We have a dumber, more hateful Vince McMahon, at best. In the daily onslaught of news of people behaving badly, because of partisan politics, the past couple of days have been particularly disturbing. Someone is targeting liberal boogeymen with explosive devices. The U.S. Secret Service... Read more

Fox News Reporter Hides in the Bushes and Waits for Illegal Immigrants

Last updated on: October 23, 2018 at 4:20 pm By Susan Wright

Something about a Fox News reporter hiding in the bushes, waiting to jump out and grab illegal immigrants at the border seems just right for a Halloween in the time of Trumpism. No, I’m not joking. Yes, this is a thing that actually happened. A Fox News correspondent actually took to the bushes along the border in McAllen, Texas. The goal was to catch illegals in the act of attempting to cross the border, and then to turn them back.... Read more

Trump Unmasked: Many of Us Knew It, but Now Trump Claims It

Last updated on: October 23, 2018 at 10:20 am By Susan Wright

Well, it’s not as if the terminology hasn’t been tossed out there, time and again, about President Donald Trump. Nationalist. The difference now is that the gilded toad stood before one of his adoring crowds in Houston, Texas, as part of a rally to support Senator Ted Cruz’s reelection bid, and openly declared himself to be what has long been claimed. He’s not a Republican, or a conservative, so please, let’s not waste any more time comparing him to Ronald... Read more

How Should We Handle the Migrant Caravan?

Last updated on: October 22, 2018 at 2:52 pm By Susan Wright

So now let’s talk about the migrant caravan that’s surging towards our porous southern border. Currently, the caravan is made up mainly of Hondurans, fleeing the violent, impoverished conditions of their homeland, with some Guatemalans and Mexicans joining. The Wall Street Journal has covered the growing caravan, mapping its progress, and talking about the inevitable political quagmire that it creates for lawmakers in the United States. The caravan has swelled to roughly 5,000 since Oct. 12, when several hundred people... Read more

“Gosnell” Is the Movie Too Important to Be Allowed to Succeed

Last updated on: October 22, 2018 at 10:47 am By Susan Wright

Last week, myself and a couple of friends from my church family decided to have a girl’s day out, by catching an early movie, then lunch, afterwards. Our goal wasn’t just to see any movie. It was a movie with a purpose. We drove forty minutes away to a very plush theater, in order to see “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer.” “Gosnell” is the independently funded film, starring Dean Cain and directed by Nick Searcy, covering the...
