Don’t Look Now, but There’s a New Trump Dating App

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 4:54 pm By Susan Wright

On the one hand, it’s like every horrific nightmare scenario imaginable. The idea of devoted Trumpidian acolytes hooking up, propagating, and further spreading the seed of low-info, big government, reality TV-dulled minds across the nation. On the other hand, however, if they’re going to mate, perhaps it’s best to keep them in one corral. So what am I talking about? Well, it appears some enterprising sadist has come up with another Trump supporter dating app, and all the world recoils... Read more

Former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Warns Against Taking Them at Their Word

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 4:54 pm By Susan Wright

Over the weekend, we discussed the troubling disappearance and murder of Washington Post journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. Mr. Khashoggi, an open critic of the Saudi Arabian royal family and their policies was in exile in the United States. On September 28, he returned to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, in order to retrieve necessary paperwork regarding his divorce from his first wife, since he was engaged to be married again. They instructed him to return at a later date, and promised... Read more

Why the Attempts to Smear the Missing WaPo Journalist, Jamal Khashoggi?

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 4:55 pm By Susan Wright

It’s time to talk about Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post journalist who was allegedly murdered by the Saudi Arabian government, recently. President Trump and the United States government have been unusually quiet about incident, given that Saudi Arabia are considered “allies.” Indeed, the diplomatic quagmire this situation has caused cannot be overstated. The president will appear on CBS’ “60 Minutes” this weekend, and does say there will “severe punishment” if it is determined that Saudi Arabia is behind Khashoggi’s disappearance.... Read more

American Pastor Andrew Brunson Freed by Turkish Court

Last updated on: October 12, 2018 at 12:51 pm By Susan Wright

Prayer works, folks. The wonderful news today is that Pastor Andrew Brunson, the American pastor who has been detained by the Turkish government for the last several years, has been released. The Turkish court has decided to give him credit for time served. He’s coming home, and for that, Christians who have held him up in prayer for all this time should be giving thanks to God first, and then thanks to the efforts of lawmakers in the Trump administration,...

President Trump Holds Court With a Spastic Kanye West

Last updated on: October 11, 2018 at 6:16 pm By Susan Wright

Is anybody else buying rapper Kanye West’s MAGA act? I mean, is he a bona fide, true MAGA believer, or is this a massive work of performance art, crafted to grab headlines? To be fair, it’s more ludicrous than his “I’m gonna let you finish” stunt, which launched 1,000 memes. Oddly enough, West and the subject of his “I’m gonna let you finish” line, Taylor Swift, find themselves intersecting again, as Swift has decided to open up and endorse Democrat... Read more

Bring on the Protesters! Harvey Weinstein Gets a Win in Court

Last updated on: October 11, 2018 at 2:22 pm By Susan Wright

The #MeToo movement felt they’d been dealt a blow by the patriarchy, after failing to stop Judge Brett Kavanaugh from advancing to the Supreme Court, to be named Justice Kavanaugh. For those just waking from a coma, Kavanaugh was Clarence Thomas’ed, with several women presenting vague, shifty claims about sexual misconduct as a high school and college kid. There were hearings, with his main accuser, Christine Blasey Ford being allowed hours to tell the Senate Judiciary that she didn’t remember... Read more

The George W. Bush-Michelle Obama Friendship Is a Ray of Nonpartisan Hope

Last updated on: October 11, 2018 at 11:41 am By Susan Wright

Had you approached me with this idea 3 or 4 years ago, suggesting that I would be writing something positive about the now-former First Lady Michelle Obama, I probably would have laughed myself silly. Then I probably would have questioned your sanity. I have said it on so many occasions that the Obamas were an arrogant, self-absorbed, entitlement-minded pox on the nation’s history. Let’s not kid ourselves about who Michelle Obama was. Early on in the Obama phenomena, she came... Read more

Democrats Are Controlling the Weather, Creating Hurricanes, According to Trump Prophet

Last updated on: October 10, 2018 at 9:38 pm By Susan Wright

You have been warned about false prophets. In fact, the Bible is very clear in instructing God’s people to take care, when it comes to those who would prop themselves up as teachers and prophets, bringing messages to the Body of Christ that do not come from Father God. In 1 John 4, we’re told to beware of false prophets, and to test their message to see if the spirit aligns with what is being said. In 2 Corinthians 11:13-15... Read more

Mueller’s Russia Probe Nets Another Conviction

Last updated on: October 10, 2018 at 1:42 pm By Susan Wright

Small fish or big fish – special counsel Robert Mueller is reeling them in. OH, with the past couple of weeks of Brett Kavanaugh hysteria, did we forget that there’s still an ongoing special counsel probe of Russia and their attempts to interfere in the 2016 election? Don’t fall asleep, guys. This thing is still on all four wheels and it is rolling! With that said, there has been another conviction handed down, and another player in the 2016 election... Read more

OUT: Nikki Haley Resigns as United Nations Ambassador

Last updated on: October 10, 2018 at 12:48 pm By Susan Wright

President Donald Trump has lost the absolute crown jewel of his administration. This is a developing story, and I will be watching and listening for any additional information throughout the day, but for now, this is what we know. The United States’ Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has resigned her post. Ambassador Haley, the former governor of the state of South Carolina, apparently met with President Trump at some point last week. At that time, she discussed her... Read more
