In New Interview, Former Trump Attorney Asserts His Loyalty to Family and Country – NOT Trump

Last updated on: July 2, 2018 at 9:02 am By Susan Wright

So I’ve been tracking the evolution of Michael Cohen from subservient doormat for Donald Trump to whatever this new stage of development is, where he asserts himself in the best interest of himself and his family. It’s a wonder to behold, actually. Let’s keep in mind of Trump’s former “fixer” that he described himself as the guy who would “take a bullet” or “do anything” to protect Trump. Recent reports that have made their way public are that Cohen is... Read more

Cult Getting a New Look, as Former Member Highlights Horrific Child Sex Abuses

Last updated on: June 30, 2018 at 5:51 pm By Susan Wright

2 Peter 2:1 AMP – “But [in those days] false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will subtly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.” Cults are not a new thing. They’ve been with us through the ages, as people become more desperate, more in search of answers to life’s questions. I will never understand how it happens. How do people fall prey... Read more

Trump’s Latest State Department Nominee Is Prominent LGBT Activist

Last updated on: June 30, 2018 at 11:23 am By Susan Wright

It can’t be stressed enough that Donald Trump has no core principles or convictions, beyond his own bottom line and egocentric view of leadership. Republicans that rushed to support him during the primaries, or who prop him up now, do so in opposition of the once-stated goals of the Republican party. That’s right. The GOP used to be about God, country, and family (or so they said). They just can’t keep claiming that, given the mixed bag of nonsense that... Read more

U.S. Intelligence Sources on North Korea: “Work Is Ongoing to Deceive Us”

Last updated on: June 29, 2018 at 9:57 pm By Susan Wright

Wow. Who in the world could have seen this coming? Oh. Only everybody. Before we begin, let’s do a flashback to several weeks ago, and the rosy, deeply deluded proclamation of our Tweeter-in-Chief. Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea. Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for... Read more

General Motors Warns Trump’s Trade War Could Damage the Auto Industry, Cost Jobs

Last updated on: June 29, 2018 at 6:23 pm By Susan Wright

Trade wars are not easy to win, contrary to what has been pushed from the Trump White House. In the real world, with people who actually understand how trade works, the warning has been repeatedly sounded, but our president would rather press ahead, crafting a world where he shares the stage with Communist dictators and ruthless strongmen. The whole MAGA thing is an afterthought, because in Trumplandia, MAGA happens when Trump is supreme leader. Even if he’s ruling over ashes,... Read more

One More Reminder of Why We Don’t Call Kim Jong Un a “Good Guy”

Last updated on: June 29, 2018 at 2:52 pm By Susan Wright

He’s President Trump’s new best pal for a reason. If you’re one of those who has felt obligated to reassess your views of North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, simply because President Trump suddenly says he’s a man who can be trusted and that they “understand” each other, I’m going to go ahead and say your priorities and judgment couldn’t be more screwed up. Kim Jong Un got all he wanted from the summit in Singapore with President Trump, and... Read more

The Annapolis Shooter Had a Lot of Problems That Had NOTHING to Do With Politics

Last updated on: June 29, 2018 at 9:36 am By Susan Wright

The picture surrounding the attack on the Annapolis, Maryland newspaper office is beginning to come together. Jarrod Ramos walked into the Capital Gazette on Thursday afternoon, armed with a shotgun and smoke grenades. He killed five and injured seven more people. The attack showed a certain level of planning. He carried no identification and reports are that he’d somehow damaged his fingers to obscure his fingerprints. The authenticity of that part is still sketchy, at this point. Other things that... Read more

Sean Hannity Rushes to Blame Maxine Waters for Annapolis Shooting

Last updated on: June 28, 2018 at 7:49 pm By Susan Wright

In his race to elevate himself as the worst person in the United States, Fox News personality, Sean Hannity did that thing that he’s often slammed the left for: He rushed to judgment about today’s shooting at an Annapolis, Maryland newspaper office. Five people were tragically killed when a gunman walked into the Capital Gazette newsroom and opened fire on Thursday afternoon. In a flash, Hannity went into a rambling diatribe about the rhetoric of California Democrat, Representative Maxine Waters.... Read more

John Kelly Expected to Leave the Trump White House SOON

Last updated on: June 28, 2018 at 5:28 pm By Susan Wright

Not “if,” but “when.” Specifically, it was never a case of “if” White House Chief of Staff John Kelly would run screaming from the seething pit of insanity known as the Trump administration, but “when” would he make his escape. If this Wall Street Journal report is correct, the answer to the “when” would be, soon. According to the report, Kelly may be gnawing off that arm and running for the hills, with whatever dignity he can smuggle out in... Read more

Mueller Team Looking Into Russian Oligarchs Given Access to Exclusive Trump Inauguration Events

Last updated on: June 28, 2018 at 3:08 pm By Susan Wright

They keep telling us there’s nothing there. They insist this is a “witch hunt,” spurred by loyalists to Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama. The “they” in question would be every Trump supporter, the hard partisans of Washington D.C., and President Trump, himself. OH, and “they” want us to believe there were no shenanigans with Russians during the 2016 election season, either. They want us to believe all this, unquestioningly, no matter what turns up. And by “turns up,”... Read more
