Pulse Nightclub Shooting Survivor Has an Amazing Story of Transformation

Last updated on: July 18, 2018 at 8:59 am By Susan Wright

This is a sensitive subject, and there are those who will hear this story and be full of skepticism. Some will greet the testimony of Luis Javier Ruiz with scorn and anger. He’s setting a sacred cow on a funeral pyre and the scent of his new found freedom is not acceptable to a large segment of society. He made a choice to save his life. On June 12, 2016 the city of Orlando, Florida was the scene of what... Read more

How Long Do We Allow Trump’s Insecurity to Damage Our Standing in the World?

Last updated on: July 17, 2018 at 1:59 pm By Susan Wright

Unfortunately, this makes perfect sense. Senior White House officials are all in duck-and-cover mode over President Trump’s atrocious performance before the world on Monday. He rolled over and offered his soft underbelly to the nation’s greatest geopolitical foe, even as he strutted out of that debacle acting like a champ. That was not rooted in reality. For those who have to try and set the ship right, given how easily President Trump turned on his own nation and our intelligence... Read more

Trump Given a Platform to Defend His Subservience to Putin (and It’s SO Bad)

Last updated on: July 17, 2018 at 10:05 am By Susan Wright

Possibly the most clear message to emerge from President Trump’s horrific Monday press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin is that Trump was the subservient in that relationship. Vladimir Putin, a murderous former KGB agent, and the driving force behind a litany of international violations and human rights abuses was obviously in control. Trump looked weak, off-balance, and he absolutely sold the United States down the river. All those ridiculous memes his glassy-eyed loyalists pump out to social media with... Read more

#TreasonSummit Trends as Trump Slams the US for Poor Relations With Russia

Last updated on: July 16, 2018 at 11:47 am By Susan Wright

I woke up this morning and #TreasonSummit was trending on social media. Why do you think that is? Today was the day of President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President (and ex-KGB agent) Vladimir Putin. Let me go on record as saying that simply meeting with the leader of a hostile foreign nation should not be considered a treasonous act. There is protocol in place to allow for just such events. What there is no protocol for is secretive, behind-closed-doors... Read more

Deputy AG Rosenstein in the Crosshairs of House Conservatives

Last updated on: July 14, 2018 at 8:53 am By Susan Wright

If GOP lawmakers move forward with this, you can safely assume they are all compromised, in some way, and the outrage from the public needs to be long and loud. Politico is reporting that three conservative sources on Capitol Hill are saying that moves are being made by some Republicans to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. This came on the same day Rosenstein announced that there have been twelve indictments handed down against Russian intelligence officers for their part... Read more

A New Fox News Poll Is Inconvenient to Trump’s View of the Mueller Investigation

Last updated on: July 12, 2018 at 10:41 pm By Susan Wright

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the poll President Trump was referring to in the last piece I brought you wasn’t this particular poll. And this one has got to be a real kick in the head for the president. It’s coming from his personal propaganda network – Fox News. The poll, conducted by phone from July 9 to July 11 explores the nation’s feelings towards the ongoing probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election,... Read more

Trump Creates Mystery Poll in His Mind “I’m the Most Popular Republican EVER!”

Last updated on: July 12, 2018 at 8:43 pm By Susan Wright

It’s unbelievable that someone with the kind of deep-rooted insecurities and pathological tendencies exhibited by Donald Trump is allowed to serve in the highest seat in the land. I truly believe that looking in the rearview mirror of time, we will realize just how clear the signs were that this is not a well man, and we ignored those signs. And yes, I’m writing this under the assumption that there will be a future where we’re still allowed to talk... Read more

WATCH: Testimony Before House Committee by FBI Agent Peter Strzok Is HEATED

Last updated on: July 12, 2018 at 1:59 pm By Susan Wright

Hot. That’s the one word that would best describe the testimony of embattled FBI agent Peter Strzok on Capitol Hill, today. Strzok is the FBI agent accused of anti-Trump bias, who shared damning text messages with his mistress, FBI attorney Lisa Page. The text messages were discovered last summer during a routine review by the inspector general, at a time when Strzok was serving on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and possible obstruction...

Trump’s Attack on Our Allies Continues, and It Has Not Gone Unnoticed

Last updated on: July 12, 2018 at 8:46 am By Susan Wright

Donald Trump is a menace. I’ve lived through presidencies that I disagreed with – in the case of the Obama presidency, disagreed with INTENSELY. At no time, however, have I felt our nation was in true danger of losing its sovereignty, as well as its soul. I’ve certainly never felt that way about a Republican president. Our nation was always in better hands with a Republican at the helm. No doubt, had Republican voters chose more wisely in the primary... Read more

Fox News Editor Compares Trump’s NATO Appearance to a Seagull (and It’s Perfect)

Last updated on: July 11, 2018 at 12:06 pm By Susan Wright

It’s scary how accurate this assessment feels. President Trump is in Belgium now to meet with our NATO allies, and people who have not sold their souls to join the Trump’s Temple are [rightfully] concerned. Our membership in NATO has been a boon to this nation. It has strengthened the standing of the United States in the world. And yes, I get being upset that not every nation in the alliance is paying the required 2 percent (and anything above... Read more
