Anonymous Trump Official Drops a Bombshell in New York Times Op-Ed

Last updated on: September 5, 2018 at 7:45 pm By Susan Wright

Well, things just got interesting. On Tuesday, excerpts from the upcoming book by veteran journalist, Bob Woodward, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” were released, causing a major stir. The book proposes to reveal a White House in disarray, perhaps more so than even all the leaks before have led the public to believe. Claiming hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, along with interviews, diaries, documents and files, Woodward lays out an image of a president so ignorant... Read more

InfoWars Crackpot Faces off With Senator Marco Rubio in Tense Encounter

Last updated on: September 5, 2018 at 5:25 pm By Susan Wright

The sanctum of wingnuts and far right conspiracy theorists is the noxious InfoWars. I’ve covered some of the amphetamine-fueled lunacy of its host, Alex Jones, before. Jones, for those who have remained blissfully and blessedly unaware of his antics, between infomercials for male virility supplements and vitamins, stuffs the empty brainpan of his viewers with notions such as, 9/11 was an inside job, and the Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax. He’s currently being sued by the still-grieving parents... Read more

New Bob Woodward Book Tells a Tale of an Insulting, Unstable, Unschooled White House

Last updated on: September 4, 2018 at 5:08 pm By Susan Wright

We’ve seen so many Trump White House tell-all books, at this point, nobody is going to be surprised if the public issues a unified verdict of “meh” over the latest release to hit your bookstores. Then again, unlike “Fire and Fury,” the upcoming release, “Fear: Trump in the White House” is written by none other than Bob Woodward, the award winning journalist, who, along with Carl Bernstein, made history with their reporting of the Watergate scandal in the early 70s....

Pastor’s Eulogy at Funeral Service of Aretha Franklin Takes Aim at BLM, Family Revolts

Last updated on: September 4, 2018 at 11:38 am By Susan Wright

He was not wrong. In all the ceremony and commotion over the funeral of Republican Senator John McCain, of Arizona, some of us may have missed the ceremony surrounding the send off of legendary singer, Aretha Franklin. The aptly designated “Queen of Soul” passed away on August 16, 2018, after a battle with pancreatic cancer, leaving behind a legacy of blues-infused, pure vocal wonder. She was one of a kind, truly, and there are few who could hope to fill... Read more

After Another Trump Attack on Jeff Sessions, Senator Ben Sasse Hits a Mic Drop Moment

Last updated on: September 4, 2018 at 8:28 am By Susan Wright

So on Monday we talked about the president’s latest Twitter attack against his beleaguered attorney general, Jeff Sessions. President Trump decided to grouse and snipe over the Department of Justice’s announcement of charges being brought against two early Trump supporters, Representatives Chris Collins (R-NY) and Duncan Hunter (R-CA). In early August, Collins (the first sitting congressman to jump the Trump train) was charged with securities fraud and lying to the FBI about it. He engaged in insider trading, by tipping...

Trump Takes a Labor Day Shot at Jeff Sessions, Blames Him for Risking GOP Seats

Last updated on: September 3, 2018 at 4:26 pm By Susan Wright

Just like a corrupt mobster, President Trump took to Twitter to attack Attorney General Jeff Sessions for, of all things, doing his job. In his afternoon attack, Trump accused Sessions of putting two Republican seats at risk. “Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department,” Trump tweeted. “Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough...

Liberty University Film Students Don’t Want Their Names Attached to Prophecy Propaganda Movie

Last updated on: September 3, 2018 at 11:29 am By Susan Wright

I am a Liberty University grad, and I bristle with resentment when I see comments from those who now deem the quality of my education there as “less.” Such obnoxious snipes take away from the hard work of the professors, as well as all the students who put in the work and effort to make their presence at the school something worthwhile and Christ-centered. With all that aside, I understand the beef some have with Liberty University, especially now. Liberty... Read more

Former Campaign Aide Points the Finger at Both Trump and Sessions

Last updated on: September 1, 2018 at 9:36 am By Susan Wright

We could also title this piece: Revenge of the Low-level Coffee Boy. It would appear that while President Trump is aiming his barbs at Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia probe and not, as Trump believes his role to be, standing as a blockade between he and whatever went on with Russia during the election, that they both have reason to sweat. Jeff Sessions certainly had reason to recuse himself – ethical reasons – so at... Read more

Unstable Man After Arrest for Threatening the Boston Globe: “Trump Saved America”

Last updated on: August 31, 2018 at 11:30 am By Susan Wright

Are we still pretending that in the age of Trump, an unstable man in the nation’s highest office cannot signal to other, equally unstable individuals with his unhinged ranting and raving? Let me be perfectly clear: If someone grabs on to one of Donald Trump’s idiotic tweets and acts out in a way that is violent or otherwise destructive, that person bears the bulk of the blame. That being said, Trump is president. He has a rabid, unthinking base, who... Read more

Will a Weekend News Dump Bring Down Another Trump Associate?

Last updated on: August 31, 2018 at 9:29 am By Susan Wright

Well, if the speculation of some in the media is correct, we may be looking at a weekend news dump that involves special counsel Robert Mueller making his move on Donald Trump’s creepy, longtime pal (and informal “adviser”), Roger Stone, and WikiLeaks, the information sharing site operated by Julian Assange. On Thursday evening, NBC anchor, Chuck Todd, suggested that before we get into this long, Labor Day weekend, Mueller’s team may choose to act, based on what has been uncovered... Read more
