Russian Diplomat Wants Woman Accused of Acting as Foreign Agent in the US Released

Last updated on: July 21, 2018 at 2:12 pm By Susan Wright

This is what happens when your president is a willing Russian agent, and goes before the world and snivels at the feet of murderous dictators and our geopolitical foes. Those foes feel emboldened to make demands of your nation. Because of President Trump’s spineless cowardice in Helsinki last Monday, Russia’s foreign minister is snapping at Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and telling him to release a woman recently arrested in the United States on charges of being a foreign agent....

Reverend in the Church of Trump Slams Memory of Ronald Reagan to Defend Trump’s Adultery

Last updated on: July 21, 2018 at 11:06 am By Susan Wright

It seems that the worse Donald Trump proves to be, the more ardent and unhinged his defenders become. Let’s begin by recognizing that for many years, the ideal in conservative Republican leadership was embodied by Ronald Wilson Reagan. His calls for smaller government and a strong America in the face of an uncertain world were inspiring. He was a gifted orator, and easily traversed from humor to serious policy debate. His 1964 address, “A Time for Choosing,” given on October... Read more

Trump’s Military Parade Will Feature Thousands of Military Personnel

Last updated on: July 20, 2018 at 5:02 pm By Susan Wright

His ego requires a sacrifice. So with the recent revelation that President Trump is pretty much a Russian asset, and his invite to Russian President Vladimir Putin to come to Washington, nobody should be surprised to see that visit planned for November of this year. November is the target date for Trump’s grand military parade, according to U.S. defense officials. Figures presented by the Department of Defense suggest anywhere from 5,000 to 7,000 military members marching in the parade. From... Read more

Michael Cohen Kept Tapes of Conversations With Trump

Last updated on: July 20, 2018 at 2:13 pm By Susan Wright

OH – This is getting good. Michael Cohen, longtime personal attorney and “fixer” for Donald Trump is back in the news. The reason may be somewhat uncomfortable for our president. It would appear that Mr. Cohen wasn’t quite the gullible sap that Trump required him to be, and maybe the years of taking abuse caused some sort of snap in Cohen’s spirit, to the point that he took steps to protect himself. You know, like making secret recordings of certain... Read more

Texas Waiter, Stiffed on a Tip for the Most Hateful Reason, Turns It Around for Good

Last updated on: July 20, 2018 at 1:31 pm By Susan Wright

This is absolutely the wrong way to act, but this young man is to be commended for responding with love. So right off the bat, let us ask the question: What is in a name? Would not a rose, by any other name still smell as sweet? You’ve all probably heard that and hopefully, you can guess where this is going: Don’t make assumptions about anybody, based on a name. Today’s tale of idiots being idiotic involves Khalil Cavil, a... Read more

Is Trump Being Manipulated by Putin? This GOP Lawmaker Says YES

Last updated on: July 20, 2018 at 9:22 am By Susan Wright

Let it be known for the record that I no longer feel President Trump is acting like a Russian asset. Donald Trump is a Russian asset. That was his role, even before he was elected. No, I don’t think he began his run for the presidency as one. I believe his initial purpose for running for the presidency was a publicity stunt, in order to whip up supporters for a new television venture he had in mind. However, I believe... Read more

White House Backs Away From Putin’s “Sincere Offer” to Turn Over U.S. Citizens

Last updated on: July 19, 2018 at 5:15 pm By Susan Wright

Well, it only took them a few days to stomp out this particular fire. Kudos to Team Trump for that, I suppose. Let’s face it. Republicans haven’t been the most adept at putting out a good message to the public, given that the face of the GOP is a sneering, poorly-coiffed mountebank, with a mind that is a bag of cats. And he’s probably a Russian asset. On Thursday afternoon, the White House finally determined that turning over American citizens... Read more

Russian Ambassador Boasts of “Verbal Agreements” Privately Made Between Trump and Putin

Last updated on: July 19, 2018 at 8:44 am By Susan Wright

It seems like the Russians have all the answers. Maybe they could share some with the United States, since they’re now running the show. To be clear, there’s no way to really know what was discussed during the private chat between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Before their “summit” they closed themselves away for over two hours, with no policy aides or note takers. There were only translators, and they’re not talking. Russia’s ambassador to the United...

NO WAY: Trump Could Be Considering Turning U.S. Citizens Over to Russia for Questioning

Last updated on: July 18, 2018 at 7:57 pm By Susan Wright

At what point does it become “ok” to talk about treason and anti-American activities with this corrupt Trump administration? So starry-eyed and enamored of the murderous Russian strongman, Vladimir Putin, is Donald Trump, that we’re now in a position where we have to wonder if our president would willingly hand over American citizens to be questioned by a hostile foreign government. This is a bad situation, and not a complete shock to those of us who tried so desperately to... Read more

Rising Socialist Star, Ocasio-Cortez, Is Rubbing Democrats the Wrong Way

Last updated on: July 18, 2018 at 1:14 pm By Susan Wright

She’s a rising star. Or just a pretty dud. What we do know about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is that she has all the intellectual depth of a Pez dispenser, and even her own [sort of] party is horrified that “Freebie Barbie” actually defeated one of their reliable workhorses, New York Representative Joseph Crowley, in June. While some may be excited and see the goal of a socialist state in the United States as a possibility, others are not so enthused. What... Read more
