The “Trump Doctrine” Described by White House Officials Will Ruin Us

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 5:06 pm By Susan Wright

This is a new level of embarrassing, but it’s where we are, unfortunately, and we have to deal with it. We’re watching Donald Trump’s worldview, as well as his method for dealing with foreign policy unfold. So where are we? We’re post-America, where longtime allies and friends are demonized and attacked, in what resembles a diplomatic food fight. Also, longtime geopolitical foes and global bad actors are wooed, by a dull witted vulgarian, dancing some grotesque burlesque on the world... Read more

Pardoned Filmmaker to Compare Trump to Lincoln in New Documentary

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 11:40 am By Susan Wright

When has the drive to flood popular media within the United States with blatant propaganda about a particular political figure been more apparent or alarming? I’m not talking about the stupidity of celebrities and journalists treating Barack Obama as if he was some sort of great, dawning hope over the United States. That kind of fawning nonsense is expected from bubble-brained Hollywood elites and news agencies that are, for the most part, pretty hard left, ideologically. I guess I’m old... Read more

President Trump Should Put Human Rights on the Table in Singapore

Last updated on: June 11, 2018 at 9:39 am By Susan Wright

When President Donald Trump brings his special mix of incompetence and narcissism to the table with North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong Un, in what is being hailed as a “historical” summit, what can we expect? It’s hard to say, given that Trump talked tough in the weeks preceding the meeting, but as the time grew nearer, he dropped all preconditions, and for all intents and purposes, seems to be going into these talks simply satisfied that people are calling it...

White House Adviser Picks up Trump’s Line of Rhetoric to Attack Allies

Last updated on: June 10, 2018 at 10:20 pm By Susan Wright

Just so we get a firm grasp on where we are at this point in our United States history, in this age of Trumpism, consider the recent behavior of President Trump, and the words of White House trade adviser Peter Navarro. While Donald Trump is off to play footsie with a murderous tyrant, who only months ago was threatening the lives of the American people, Navarro is continuing Trump’s vicious war of words against the nation’s longtime allies. To backtrack... Read more

A Tale of Two Dictators: Fox News Host Stumbles Over Truth (VIDEO)

Last updated on: June 10, 2018 at 7:36 pm By Susan Wright

A Freudian slip, or a signal to the world? And it came from a Fox News host, no less. Abby Huntsman is the daughter of President Trump’s pick to be United States Ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman. While hosting a segment on “Fox and Friends Weekend,” giving what anyone who pays attention knows to be the expected, breathless Fox News coverage of the meeting between Trump and North Korean psychopath, Kim Jong Un, Huntsman made a shocking error [?] in...

The Free Love Movement Overtakes the World of Scouting

Last updated on: June 10, 2018 at 3:01 pm By Susan Wright

Well, it’s not your dad’s Boy Scouts, any more. Last month, the Boy Scouts of America announced that they were dropping “Boy” from their name and just going with “Scouts BSA.” Also, girls will now be allowed to join. Many were outraged and wondering how this was going to work out. Are boys and girls going to be attending the same overnight events? Who will be chaperoning? Did they really think this thing through, or is this just another symptom... Read more

After Leaving the G7 Summit, Trump Decides to Insult Our Allies (AGAIN)

Last updated on: June 9, 2018 at 11:50 pm By Susan Wright

Russia’s awesome. They’ve been treated unfairly and deserve a seat at the G7 summit table. Check. Also, all preconditions for meeting with the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, are off the table. He gets the legitimacy he’s always wanted, a stay at a luxury resort, and the U.S. walks away from it with nothing. Check. Chinese tech company accused of espionage, ZTE, gets a sweet deal, even though it violated sanctions and sold tech to Iran and North... Read more

President Trump Can’t Stop Advocating for Russia (He Really Can’t)

Last updated on: June 9, 2018 at 3:18 pm By Susan Wright

This looks bad, and there is no doubt in my mind that Donald Trump knows how bad this looks, but he has no other choice. I’m referring to President Trump’s continued, ardent advocacy for Vladimir Putin’s Russia at the G7 summit. He’s there as a representative for the United States. His unprovoked, out of nowhere cheerleading for a nation that routinely has journalists and dissidents murdered just seems… odd. I told you of his initial “Rah-Rah Russia” display on Friday....

The Comparisons Between Tim Tebow and the NFL Kneelers Is Faulty

Last updated on: June 9, 2018 at 12:06 pm By Susan Wright

I’ve seen people making the absolutely insane comparison between the kneeling of the National Football League players during the national anthem, protesting police violence, Black Lives Matter, not enough aloe-based lotion in the locker rooms… whatever it is… and the sideline kneeling of Tim Tebow. No one who has paid attention and has a grasp on what was actually going on, in both cases, is making that comparison. Seriously, just the act of kneeling does not hold the same meaning,...

An Indiana School Teacher Says He Was Forced to Resign Over Gender-Bender Student Name

Last updated on: June 8, 2018 at 8:45 pm By Susan Wright

I suspect we’ll hear more and more tales of social justice insanity coming from our nation’s schools. John Kluge worked as an orchestra teacher with Brownsburg High School. A report released by ABC News on Friday tells why Mr. Kluge was recently forced out of his job, due to the social experimentation sanctioned by the school policy. Specifically, the policy states that teachers and staff were to call students by their made up names, rather than their actual names, if... Read more
