For Your Consideration: A Look Beyond the Now

Last updated on: June 28, 2018 at 8:28 am By Susan Wright

And now, a brief break from the day-to-day political or cultural chat. I hope you will indulge me in a bit of self-promotion. For those who have read my bio here at Patheos, you know I also have a book available at Amazon titled, “But God: Seeking Our Father Unafraid.” That particular book was written for new believers, honest seekers, and those quaking Christians, weak and afraid in their walk. It was written for guidance and encouragement, to help those... Read more

WATCH: Senator Ted Cruz Gives Mike Lee a Rousing Endorsement for Supreme Court Nominee

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 8:08 pm By Susan Wright

This would be amazing. Ok, we’re going to continue exploring the news of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s Tuesday announcement that he would be stepping down, after three decades on the bench. Justice Kennedy’s retirement kicks in on July 31. President Trump is expected to announce his nominee to fill that spot immediately after. For conservatives, it’s an exciting time, because for the first time in a long while, conservative justices will make up the majority of SCOTUS seats. For... Read more

Justice Kennedy Retirement Announcement Puts the Left in a Panic

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 5:56 pm By Susan Wright

Pipe down, Chuck and Di. Democrat lawmakers and their supporters must feel like they’re in a nightmare and can’t wake up. It’s kind of amusing, actually. With today’s announcement that Justice Anthony Kennedy will be retiring at the end of July, liberal ghouls, with their hearts full of malice and dreams of infanticide are losing their minds across social media. Justice Kennedy, considered a moderate, was the swing vote on many issues, but on social issues, such as gay marriage... Read more

BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Kennedy Prepares to Make His Exit

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 2:32 pm By Susan Wright

We knew it was coming, but we didn’t know when. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has formally announced his intent to retire from the bench, after more than 30 years. This is big. Kennedy, who turns 82 in July, is the court’s longest-serving member and second-oldest justice after its leading liberal, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is 85. Speculation that Kennedy was thinking about retiring started circling last term and gained steam this year. Some Republicans on Capitol Hill even claimed it was a... Read more

Communists Officials in China Harassing, Arresting Christians on a Regular Basis

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 1:40 pm By Susan Wright

I’ve been speaking for some time about how blessed Christians in the United States are. We are free to gather and worship with no worry or governmental interference. I’ve also said that if the greatest attack on the American church is a coffee shop putting “Happy Holidays” on a cup, rather than “Merry Christmas,” then we have nothing to stress about. We are not oppressed. And yes, I do realize that leftists and humanists in this nation often attempt to... Read more

Supreme Court Delivers Another Win for Faith-Based Pregnancy Centers

Last updated on: June 26, 2018 at 3:30 pm By Susan Wright

It’s just like California to attempt to impose unfair restrictions and impose unconstitutional requirements on agencies that fall outside of the majority of the state’s liberal worldview. In an attempt to bully those who value the life of the preborn, the state passed the Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care and Transparency Act, or FACT Act. The purpose of the act was to force pro-life pregnancy centers to act against not only their beliefs, but their stated purpose, by providing information... Read more

Trump Turns His Destructive Ire on an American Icon (Why Aren’t ALL Conservatives Concerned?)

Last updated on: June 26, 2018 at 1:21 pm By Susan Wright

Whose side are you on? President Trump isn’t nearly as in tune with the “common American” as he would like us to believe. How could he be? He was born into privilege, afforded things on his daddy’s dime that most of us have to struggle and scrape for, while getting nowhere near what he had, and has lived a penthouse existence, separated from much of the world outside. Just because he’s got his hands in the pockets of average American... Read more

Please Stop: Both Sides of the Political Aisle Contribute to the Incivility in Our Public Discourse

Last updated on: June 25, 2018 at 5:53 pm By Susan Wright

Words have meaning. Words, in fact, have the power to help or heal. They also have the power to destroy lives and burn down societies. Such is the power of language, and for those who are in positions of authority, it behooves them to wield that power for the common good. If you want to hear an example of someone in authority being absolutely derelict and reckless, consider the words of California Representative Maxine Waters. On Saturday, Waters used the...

Cockroaches and Mold: While Trump Attacks the Red Hen, His Own Establishments Are Less Than Sanitary

Last updated on: June 25, 2018 at 2:30 pm By Susan Wright

Turnabout is fair play, right? Since Donald Trump decided that his presidential duties now include actively attempting to sink private businesses by becoming an online restaurant critic, it seems only fair that a man who has his name attached to so many hotels and restaurants should expect someone to look into his affairs, as well. To recap, on Monday morning, the president took to his tweety time and decided to try and attack another private business, a rural restaurant in... Read more

With Little Else on the Agenda, President Trump Turns Restaurant Critic

Last updated on: June 25, 2018 at 11:01 am By Susan Wright

There are several things to consider here. First of all, the controversy over the weekend, in regards to White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders being denied service in a Lexington, Virginia restaurant called the Red Hen was disgusting. One of the owners asked Sanders to leave, based on what she called “moral reasons.” Specifically, opposition to the current situation with immigrant children on the southern border. I get that. I get being upset. It’s an ugly situation. Sanders, however,... Read more
