I’m Not the Liar! You’re the Liar! North Korea Says U.S. Is Not Keeping Their Deal

Last updated on: August 4, 2018 at 12:56 pm By Susan Wright

WOW. Talk about turning the conversation around and pointing the finger the other way! On Saturday, the foreign minister of North Korea accused the United States of failure to maintain their half of the bargain struck between President Trump and North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, during their June summit. Specifically, he’s claiming Secretary of State Mike Pompeo of being the fly in that particular ointment. Pompeo, he says, is making moves that will destabilize the agreement between the president...

Hey, Mainstream Media – Stop Feeding Trump’s Ego With Your Presence

Last updated on: August 3, 2018 at 9:42 pm By Susan Wright

Well, this is a great idea, actually. I’m just shocked it’s coming from Fox News. Ok, to be fair, Fox News’ actual news department tend to be rather fair minded. It’s their opinion shows – the Sean Hannitys, Tucker Carlsons, Jeanine Pirros – that are unbearable toadies to Trump. Today, Fox News’ politics editor, Chris Stirewalt, spoke directly to the news media about the treatment they’ve been receiving from President Trump and his uncivil supporters. Specifically, the president has been... Read more

QAnon – Pied Piper of the Low-Info Basement Dwellers (VIDEO)

Last updated on: August 3, 2018 at 11:02 am By Susan Wright

I love the internet, but I cringe at how it has become a breeding ground for low intellects, cult minds, and dangerous nut jobs around the world. It has also made it possible for pranksters and conspiracy theorists to draw the gullible and easily swayed into a single movement of society-killing drones. The latest conspiracy following to take hold across the world wide web is QAnon, brought to life from the wretched bowels of 4chan and other pro-Trump, anti-Semitic haunts.... Read more

Bold Strategy, Cotton: Trump Thinks He Can Convince Mueller He’s on a “Witch Hunt”

Last updated on: August 3, 2018 at 8:47 am By Susan Wright

OH – Please let this happen! There are several sure things you can count on from President Trump, due to the sea of sycophancy he swims in daily. He is convinced that he’s A) above the law, and B) he can bend anyone in Washington to his will. Currently, this battle is going on with his legal team, and the very real possibility exists that they will be unable to save him from himself for very much longer. The New... Read more

Special Counsel Robert Mueller Is Prepared to Limit His Questions for Trump

Last updated on: August 2, 2018 at 5:02 pm By Susan Wright

Let’s be clear about this thing. Given the last couple of days, and the out of control Twitter rage from our Tweeter-in-Chief, I’m not totally convinced that there’s a whole lot that special counsel Robert Mueller needs to speak with President Trump about, as it pertains to the ongoing Russia probe. He and his investigators can glean more from simply logging on to Twitter and scanning the fruits of the president’s “executive time,” each morning. I’m not convinced that this... Read more

Jerry Falwell Jr. Attacks Jeff Sessions as a “Phony” Trump Supporter, but He Forgets Something

Last updated on: August 2, 2018 at 11:43 am By Susan Wright

Full disclosure up front, for those who haven’t already heard: I am a Liberty University alum. I got my Psychology degree from the school and I actually loved being a Liberty Flame! You will not hear me utter a single word against my professors or fellow students. They were all awesome. I also have to point out that this was pre-Trump. There was a dignity in being a Liberty University student, at that time. Now, however, things are different. As... Read more

Special Counsel Robert Mueller Would Like to Have a Word With President Trump

Last updated on: August 1, 2018 at 6:39 pm By Susan Wright

Where did he think this was going to go? As it is, President Trump’s raging Twitter storm from Wednesday morning may not have been completely without a preceding irritant. As we discussed earlier, the president took to Twitter to attack the ongoing Russia probe and to call on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end it. ..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country...

Did Trump Just Openly Call on Jeff Sessions to End the Russia Probe?

Last updated on: August 1, 2018 at 11:57 am By Susan Wright

Do you want to catch an obstruction charge (because this is how you catch an obstruction charge)? On Wednesday morning, President Trump took his Twitter rants to a very specific place, and it was blatant in its attempts to sway an ongoing investigation. In fact, if obstruction is one of the potential targets of investigation being covered by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team (It is), and if reports are correct that he’s also skimming through Trump’s tweets as a means...

Sean Hannity Defends Attacks on the Press in Service to Trump

Last updated on: August 1, 2018 at 10:15 am By Susan Wright

There’s no excuse that will ever be enough to smooth over the treatment of the press at the typical Trump rally. Trump’s rallies are the equivalent of uncovering a sewer and having the contents back up into your front yard. They are grotesque in their incivility towards those who are not on board the Trump train. They seethe with every nasty, corrupt emotion, and it’s all part of the rise of Trumpism. Trump, himself, is a liar and a braggart.... Read more

The Russia Question: New Poll Sheds Light on How Voters View Russian Interference

Last updated on: July 31, 2018 at 8:32 pm By Susan Wright

This is how a republic (and a party) dies. To be clear, sanity still seems to be clinging to the Republican party, but only by the fingertips, as the rot of alt-right Trumpism continues to advance and infest. Yes. If you’re a part of the alt-right, I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings. I called you an infestation. We can go with “infection,” if you prefer. Either way, the alt-right isn’t saving the Republican party. They’re destroying it. A... Read more
