Harlem Pastor Stands Before His Congregation and Openly Denies the Deity of Christ

Last updated on: June 6, 2018 at 8:05 pm By Susan Wright

Apparently, the world has really lowered the bar, as far as what constitutes being “One of the Lord’s Foot Soldiers.” At least, that’s the term used by Newsweek to describe Pastor Michael A. Walrond Jr. Walrond is the Senior Pastor of Harlem’s First Corinthian Baptist Church. He boasts a congregation of 10,000 members. I don’t know what snapped in Walrond’s life to lead him so horribly astray, but he’s passing on his corrupt theology to the people of Harlem, so... Read more

Ivanka Trump Under Scrutiny, as Emails Reveal Efforts to Connect Her Father to Putin

Last updated on: June 6, 2018 at 3:31 pm By Susan Wright

Seriously, you can’t shake a tree around Team Trump without a Russian falling out. Knowing this, no one should question why the Russia probe has not seen a considerable slow down. Things just keep coming up. As this game of Moscow Musical Chairs plays out, it has hit the periphery of Trump’s campaign circle, and has worked it’s way in, ever closer. To date, the most devastating personal hit (other than the discomfort it causes the president, himself) has been... Read more

Trey Gowdy Gets Some Backup From Republican Leadership

Last updated on: June 6, 2018 at 1:39 pm By Susan Wright

South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy’s principled stand on the evidence presented by our intelligence community, and the status of the ongoing Russia probe didn’t earn him any friends from the Trumplican wing of the GOP, but he’s not exactly standing alone, either. For background: Gowdy, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said on Fox News last week, “I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the...

Pardoned Trump Loyalist Gets Slammed for Blatant Hypocrisy

Last updated on: June 6, 2018 at 10:27 am By Susan Wright

This was a bit of sweet justice, and CNN host Alisyn Camerota was right to make the recently pardoned Dinesh D’Souza explain himself. D’Souza was pardoned by President Trump last week, and has simultaneously talked about principles, as if he’s some noble truth teller, while also acting like an arrogant, unrepentant scoundrel. Anyone who has followed D’Souza’s social media persona has seen some of the ugliest characteristics known to this fallen human nature come slithering to the surface. Anyone who... Read more

Judge Rules in Favor of Trump Accuser, Orders He Must Sit for Deposition

Last updated on: June 5, 2018 at 11:09 pm By Susan Wright

With the whole #MeToo movement and the momentum it picked up in October 2017, beginning with the news of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s multiple offenses, the biggest question that has gone unanswered is: How has President Trump gotten away with everything he has been accused of? Before the 2016 Election, around twenty women came forward with tales of sexual misconduct at the hands of then-candidate Trump. What’s more, these women came forward after an “Access Hollywood” recording from 2005 was... Read more

Den of Thieves: United Nations Personnel Accused of Horrible Abuses

Last updated on: June 5, 2018 at 5:45 pm By Susan Wright

I’ve long maintained the belief that the United Nations is nothing more than a den of vipers and thieves, and that there’s no good reason for keeping them in the United States – much less, for the United States footing the bulk of the upkeep. I could go on and on about the Oil-for-Food scandal that reached to the very top of the United Nations. An independent investigation, headed up by former United States Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, found... Read more

This Was Quick – a Fox News Apology

Last updated on: June 5, 2018 at 1:28 pm By Susan Wright

I wrote earlier about President Trump renewing his feud with the National Football League, and Monday night’s late hour canceling of the event planned for today, that would honor the Super Bowl LII champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. Trump promised a great celebration today for a thousand fans who had expected to be there to see the Eagles honored. Instead, they’ll get the president’s version of a celebration, as well as a healthy dose of him patting himself on the back,... Read more

Trump Continues Feud With the NFL, as His Media Cheerleaders Push Falsehoods

Last updated on: June 5, 2018 at 11:51 am By Susan Wright

Today would have been the day that the Philadelphia Eagles – the Super Bowl LII champions – were to be hosted at a reception at the White House, per tradition. It ain’t happening. On Monday, the night before, President Trump announced there would be no ceremony to honor the champions, and it’s all due to the National Football League kneeling controversy. It was known weeks ago that the team would be sending a smaller, representative group to the reception today.... Read more

Jeff Sessions Suffers Fresh Indignity by Trump’s Twitter Fingers

Last updated on: June 5, 2018 at 9:35 am By Susan Wright

Please, somebody go check on Attorney General Jeff Sessions. I imagine that every day is a migraine waiting to happen, and he’s forced to reevaluate his life choices from moment to moment. To be honest, working up any sympathy for the man who was the first to jump that Trump Train during the primary season of the 2016 election, especially when there were so many qualified, dignified, worthy candidates on the GOP bench to choose from, has taken some work....

So-Called “Fireman Prophet” Claims Illuminati-Created Storms Target Trump Voters

Last updated on: June 4, 2018 at 7:01 pm By Susan Wright

It’s been about a week ago that I wrote about the Liberty University film project coming to a theater near you. The film is called “The Trump Prophecy,” and it’s based on the alleged “prophetic visions” of a retired firefighter by the name of Mark Taylor. Taylor released a book called The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow… and What He Says Is Coming Next in 2017, after Trump was already in office, claiming...
