Rudy Giuliani Gets a Reality Check on His Unhinged Russia Probe Claims

Last updated on: August 16, 2018 at 9:41 am By Susan Wright

This is encouraging. A Fox News personality of some repute was willing to stand up to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s insanity. I shouldn’t insinuate that it is just Rudy Giuliani’s insanity. Giuliani, having taken on the role of attorney for President Trump in the ongoing Russia probe is simply pushing the same line the administration has been wildly, blindly pushing from the beginning. Specifically, the administration-approved line is that the infamous dossier, put together by a former British... Read more

Demonic: New Report Exposes Horrors of Child Sex Abuse in Pennsylvania’s Catholic Church

Last updated on: August 15, 2018 at 11:58 am By Susan Wright

How does a person of faith read this story and not weep, in their spirit? How do you hear of these things done to the most vulnerable and weak in our society, done by those who are to uphold the Word of God and be a light in the world, and not be overcome by righteous anger? I don’t think there is a way. I think, for a person of faith, you go through it, you allow yourselves to feel... Read more

Did He or Didn’t He Say It? If He Did, Will It Matter?

Last updated on: August 15, 2018 at 9:15 am By Susan Wright

This is where we are, as a nation, in the damnable, cancerous age of Trump. Truth, decency, civility, and any adherence to our better angels… All of these things have been sacrificed on the altar of Trump. It’s now all about “owning the libs” and MAGA. Meanwhile, there’s nothing connected to Donald Trump that can legitimately be credited with making America better, much less great, again. The latest buzz is about disgruntled former White House aide, Omarosa Manigault-Newman and her... Read more

Trump, Pence Snub John McCain in Ceremony Signing Bill Named After Him

Last updated on: August 14, 2018 at 10:28 am By Susan Wright

Donald Trump is a low, petty, classless excuse for a human being. Mike Pence is his spineless sidekick. They’re both a blotch on the face of this once-great republic that will not easily wash away. The fact that these men are walking the venerated halls of the White House now is an insult to the nation and to the memory of our founders. He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of this country who tries most to promote... Read more

A Quick Fact-Check Determines Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Lacks Basic Knowledge

Last updated on: August 13, 2018 at 5:16 pm By Susan Wright

So, recently I wrote a piece about the flash-in-the-pan New York flake with all the intellectual heft of a Pez dispenser, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I referred to her as “Freebie Barbie,” a term that has her fan club writhing and spitting in outrage. I don’t care. The last piece involved her cowardly response to the offer of a debate from columnist, Ben Shapiro. Shapiro was responding to Ocasio-Cortez’s assertion that Republicans wouldn’t debate her on the issues. He offered, and since... Read more

In Promoting Her New Tell-All, Omarosa Tumbles Into Some Truth

Last updated on: August 13, 2018 at 8:44 am By Susan Wright

Well, how about that? Omarosa Manigault Newman, in the middle of her tour to promote her upcoming White House tell-all book, “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House,” stumbled into something that can be deemed actual truth. So let’s get this part out of the way. I trust Omarosa, the perennial reality TV antagonist who managed to score a spot within the workings of the Trump presidential administration, about as far as I can chuck a 140-pound sack...

Florida State House Candidate BUSTED in an Embarrassing, but Elaborate Lie

Last updated on: August 11, 2018 at 2:46 pm By Susan Wright

OH, the allure of higher office and political power! It can drive people to do really, really dumb things. Hence begins the sorry tale of Melissa Howard, the Republican candidate for State House, out of Florida. There seems to be a problem with Mrs. Howard’s stated credentials. Howard has made the claim to be a graduate of Miami University, in her home state of Ohio. I know. It’s weird that there’s an Oxford, Ohio college called Miami University. So it... Read more

A Year After Charlottesville, a Former Neo-Nazi Trades Hate for the Love of God

Last updated on: August 11, 2018 at 11:17 am By Susan Wright

This is the kind of story we should all celebrate. This is renewal of life, celebration of the value that is inherent in all of us as individuals, beloved of an almighty God. To begin, we need to recall the horrors of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia a year ago. It was a rally that could not have ended up any other way but badly, and for many there, that was the desired outcome. Alt-right crusaders, white... Read more

“Freebie Barbie” Balks and Runs at the Prospect of Debating Ben Shapiro

Last updated on: August 10, 2018 at 12:01 am By Susan Wright

I’m embarrassed for her. So here’s the set-up: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – aka Freebie Barbie – is the Democratic Socialist candidate running for U.S. Congress – District 14, New York (Bronx, Queens). She’s almost assured to win, given the makeup of the district, and it’s causing Democrats headaches. For one, many of them feel her socialist leanings are too far left and going so extreme so quickly could have negative effects on future elections. And secondly, she’s dumb as a rock.... Read more

Fox News’ Laura Ingraham Bemoans Immigration and Demographic Changes (Is She Wrong?)

Last updated on: August 9, 2018 at 12:24 pm By Susan Wright

How many 100 percent, pure blood Native Americans do I have reading, right now? I’m genuinely curious. As we all get further away from our roots, pinpointing the particulars of our origins tends to fade from certainty to guesstimates. The reality is, most of us living in the United States today are a beautiful patchwork of varied racial and national roots. I recently did one of those DNA tests that are supposed to track down ancestry through a saliva sample.... Read more
