Outside Counsel, Rachel Mitchell, Issues Conclusion From Kavanaugh-Ford Testimony

Last updated on: October 4, 2018 at 5:32 pm By Susan Wright

Have we all gotten over the Kavanaugh intoxication (pun intended) of last week’s Senate hearing into sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh? Of course we’re not. This situation has been extended for a week, as the FBI investigates the claims of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Ford, for those who haven’t been keeping up, claims Judge Brett Kavanaugh, along with a friend, Mark Judge, sexually assaulted her at a party in 1982, when they were both teenagers. The testimony from both... Read more

As the World Listens, Trump Confesses the Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name

Last updated on: September 30, 2018 at 8:51 am By Susan Wright

On Saturday, the foreign minister of North Korea appeared at the United Nations and declared that his nation had no intention in nuclear disarmament, until President Trump fulfilled the promises he made to them. Interestingly enough, Trump addressed the United Nations on Tuesday, and had only kind words to say about North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un. Trump praised Kim at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, saying that he was proud of his courage. “I would like to thank Chairman Kim... Read more

In Spite of Earlier Summit and Trump-Kim Bromance, N Korea Says They’re Not Disarming

Last updated on: September 29, 2018 at 3:03 pm By Susan Wright

Stunned. Utterly STUNNED. I mean, who could have predicted this? Who in their wildest imagination would have guessed that after the historic summit between United States President Donald Trump and North Korean despot, Kim Jong Un, that Kim would go back on his promises? Who could have foreseen this outcome? Everybody. After commemorative coins and President Trump’s warm, admiring words, it really does seem the rogue nation has hung out the “Sucker” sign. There’s a reason North Korea is currently... Read more

Venezuelan Dictator, Maduro, Wants a Meeting With Trump (but Is It a Good Idea?)

Last updated on: September 29, 2018 at 11:20 am By Susan Wright

Given what we know about President Trump’s ego and susceptibility to praise over common sense, how wise would it be to encourage another face-to-face meeting with another despot? He’s already given far too much legitimacy to North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. He’s practically handed over our nation’s status as the top world power to his man-crush, Vladimir Putin, and Russia. Oh, and don’t let this tariff dispute fool you. Trump has openly praised China’s “President-for-life” Xi Jinping, for his ability... Read more

Republican Senator Flinches, Creates a New Bump in the Road to Kavanaugh’s Confirmation

Last updated on: September 28, 2018 at 3:25 pm By Susan Wright

Flake flakes. That’s right. After expressing his approval of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to serve as the next justice to sit in the Supreme Court, Arizona Senator Jeff Flake seems to have wilted under pressure from his Democrat friends. The entire mess began after Thursday’s testimony from Judge Kavanaugh, as well as the woman who has accused him of attacking her when they were both kids in high school, back in 1982. Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford’s testimony was compelling. It was gut-wrenching... Read more

Freedom Caucus Demand Rod Rosenstein Appear in Private Meeting

Last updated on: September 28, 2018 at 9:16 am By Susan Wright

So it’s Friday. The events of Kavanaugh Thursday are behind us, so while the world waits to see if a confirmation vote happens (the early word is that it will), we must turn our focus back to the top, and realize we still have Donald Trump as president, and a mewling, complicit Congress, unwilling to act as anything other than his lapdogs. One of the rumored happenings for Thursday was to be a meeting between President Trump and Deputy Attorney... Read more

Fox News Contributor Gets the Axe, After Attacking Blasey-Ford

Last updated on: September 28, 2018 at 12:39 am By Susan Wright

If you want a lesson in how not to conduct yourself civilly during the course of a very sensitive and politically-charged hearing, look no further than Kevin Jackson, Fox News contributor and head of The Black Sphere dot net. Throughout the day’s emotional testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee by Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the woman who has accused him of awful behavior as a high school boy, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Jackson gave his commentary. And he was nasty.... Read more

Business as Usual: Trump NOW Supports a Two-State Solution for Israel-Palestine

Last updated on: September 27, 2018 at 11:34 am By Susan Wright

So let’s dispel this false image of President Donald Trump as somehow a breath of fresh air and a true friend to Israel. The ridiculous amount of praise and honor Trump has received for announcing a move of the United States embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is endlessly frustrating to those of us who have actually paid attention. First of all, the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It states that the... Read more

Leader of False Theology Movement Likens Trump to Elijah at Values Voters Summit

Last updated on: September 26, 2018 at 11:38 am By Susan Wright

Why was this fraud allowed to speak at this year’s Values Voters Summit? More alarmingly, why do Christians still promote and support this man, allowing his fraudulent and ungodly claims to have such sway over the way they live out their faith? Lance Wallnau is a proponent of the “seven mountain mandate” – an ungodly, unbiblical theory that twists Scripture to appease itching ears and draw Christians away from the certain truths of God, by asserting that Christ needs our...

Senator Rand Paul to Offer up a Pro-Russia Sanctions Bill

Last updated on: September 25, 2018 at 3:56 pm By Susan Wright

Guys, I’ve got some serious reservations about Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. Somebody needs to go check on him. During the primaries leading up to the 2016 election season, Senator Paul was a staunch critic of Donald Trump. He saw Trump the way the rest of the field saw him: as a joke. After Trump’s election, He wasn’t particularly jazzed on him, but we’re now at a point where it’s not that he’s accepted Trump as president, but that he’s crossed... Read more
