Ohio LGBT Community to Host Reelection Campaign Party for Donald Trump

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 8:48 am By Susan Wright

Say, Ohio LGBT community… would you like another four years of Donald Trump? Because this is how you get Donald Trump. Every time we think President Trump has gone so far, there’s no coming back, some leftist or liberal special interest group says or does something so obnoxious and idiotic, it reminds otherwise rational people of why they voted for Trump, in the first place. Here’s a tip that would serve the gay community well, if they were so inclined... Read more

Watch Our President’s Amazing Interview (and What Did the Parents of Korean War Dead Ask Him?)

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 10:38 pm By Susan Wright

If you want to get a really solid picture of the nightmarish result of sending an incompetent, boorish, Manhattan reprobate into negotiations with a dangerous foreign despot, it is unfolding for all to see, in the aftermath of the summit between President Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. The president recently sat with Fox News’ Bret Baier and the garbled, nonsensical, answers were disturbing – or should be. He began by praising the new, friendly relationship he thinks he...

GOP Lawmaker Calls out the Cult of Trump and a Dying Republican Party

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 6:17 pm By Susan Wright

Well, he’s not wrong. Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) is as perplexed and alarmed by the creeping cult of Trumpism in Washington as the rest of the sentient portion of American society. Senator Corker is going through some frustration, after his efforts to bring a bill protecting the nation from President Trump’s insane tariffs plan was blocked from even being voted on. As it is, the bill has the backing of around a dozen other senators, and simply seeks to make... Read more

Of Otto Warmbier and the Enemies of the American People

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 5:39 pm By Susan Wright

Do not forget Otto Warmbier. June 19, 2018 will mark the one year anniversary of Mr. Warmbier’s death. Otto Warmbier was a 21 year old University of Virginia college student, on his way to study in Hong Kong, when while on a guided tour through North Korea, he did something that can be attributed to youthful whim, and the ignorance of the world outside of his comfortable Ohio upbringing: He attempted to pilfer a propaganda poster from the wall of...

WATCH: Sean Hannity’s Glaring Partisan Hypocrisy Is Put ON BLAST

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 11:03 am By Susan Wright

This is wonderful. And to be clear, I’m no fan of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” It was only vaguely amusing when Jon Stewart was the host. With Trevor Noah at the helm, it has gone from mildly annoying to full-on social justice claptrap, with the occasional attempts at humor. That being said, in this age of Trump, and my own, personal awakening to the hypocrisy of both sides, I’ve found quite a few bits from the show that deserve... Read more

State-Run Media in North Korea Already Claiming Victory Over America

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 10:21 am By Susan Wright

So what do you get when a sitting U.S. president decides to travel abroad, in order to give legitimacy to the tyrannical leader of a rogue nation, laden with horrific human rights violations and nuclear ambitions? In the case of President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, you get photo ops, months worth of insane talking points to dissect and work through, and propaganda… so much propaganda from both sides. What happened in Singapore this week was unprecedented,... Read more

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Finally Fights Back

Last updated on: June 12, 2018 at 7:59 pm By Susan Wright

WELL, it’s about time Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein stopped sitting on his hands and put up his fists. The Department of Justice’s number two in charge has been almost as maligned as his boss, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and for the same reasons, by the same people. Specifically, we’re referring to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA), who determined himself to be the thorn in the side of the Russia probe, from day one. Nunes and a group...

Fresh From the Trump-Kim Lovefest, the President Resumes Threats Against Our Allies

Last updated on: June 12, 2018 at 5:17 pm By Susan Wright

So what is going on, here? More and more, it appears Trump isn’t just making these horrible, inept decisions on his own. Dismantling of the standing of the United States with this level of swift completeness would require a certain amount of instruction. Who in his administration is advising this? Who is Donald Trump listening to? Fresh on the heels of the face-to-face summit with North Korea’s murderous dictator, Kim Jong Un, our president is focusing on the real danger... Read more

Trump-Kim Summit Included Talk of Hotel Development

Last updated on: June 12, 2018 at 12:28 pm By Susan Wright

A few cynics out there are surveying the landscape after the unprecedented meeting between a sitting United States president and a bona fide, murderous, foreign dictator and saying that absolutely nothing of consequence came out of this. Not me! To be clear, I’m still in awe. Not only were my expectations met, they were exceeded. By exceeded, I mean I knew Trump would come away from his sit down meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un with absolutely nothing beneficial... Read more

It’s the Morning After and Trump Has a New Dictator to Admire

Last updated on: June 12, 2018 at 9:00 am By Susan Wright

So how does the world look the morning after a sitting U.S. president has sought out legitimacy for the rogue regime of North Korea? It’s about what we expected, to be honest. North Korea walked away with everything. The U.S. – thanks to the incompetence of Donald Trump – comes away from it with nothing. Our president sat down with a murderous tyrant, who imprisons and tortures his own people, forces women to have abortions, and every manner of evil.... Read more
