Filmmaker Roman Polanski Has a Few Things to Say About the #MeToo Movement (Is He Right?)

Last updated on: May 9, 2018 at 3:03 pm By Susan Wright

Let’s just start this out by saying: Dude, you drugged and raped a 13-year old girl. Now with that bit of knowledge, right off the top, we can address the mewling protestations of kiddie toucher filmmaker, Roman Polanski. Polanski is the 84-year old director of some pretty decent films. My favorite would probably be 2002’s “The Pianist,” with Adrien Brody. That doesn’t absolve him of what he did. Polanski was in Poland last week, speaking with the Polish version of... Read more

Was Trump Attorney, Michael Cohen, Maintaining a Pay-for-Play Account?

Last updated on: May 9, 2018 at 10:12 am By Susan Wright

Forget P.T. Barnum. Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn star, Stormy Daniels (real name: Stephanie Clifford) is the one running the greatest show on earth, right now. On Tuesday, it appeared the swaggering legal eagle may have blown major holes in the side of Good Ship Trump, by detailing a troubling series of payments to a shell company created by Trump’s fixer-slash-personal attorney, Michael Cohen. So is the Stormy Daniels affair the “nothingburger” Trump’s devotees have so persistently claimed? If... Read more

An Inside Look at the REAL Motivation of WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange

Last updated on: May 8, 2018 at 6:57 pm By Susan Wright

Let’s see a show of hands of all of those patriots who feel Julian Assange, and his platform, WikiLeaks, is a vital and necessary part of keeping truth and freedom alive… Ok. Now go ahead and smack yourselves with those hands. He’s not, and the sooner you get that out of your heads, drop the partisan chains that make you chase after him, and recognize who he really is, the better off we’ll all be. Curiously, there was a time... Read more

It May Be Time to Put Rudy Giuliani in Timeout

Last updated on: May 8, 2018 at 12:03 pm By Susan Wright

Rudy Giuliani may have been an awesome mayor for the city of New York, at one time. I remember his appearances on TV after the horrific September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. I was particularly proud of him when I heard reports that he’d turned down a hefty contribution from the Saudi prince, who offered a check, while also serving up a bit of condescending, “You know you brought this on yourselves…” Giuliani was a hero. He... Read more

Draining the DC Swamp (or Watching the Snakes Eat Their Own)

Last updated on: May 7, 2018 at 9:40 am By Susan Wright

Let’s talk about the swamp, as it appears the murkier the waters in Washington, the further detached from reality we all become. Our memories are short, and the right distractions can easily pull our eyes away from what’s right in front of us. When talking about the most swampy of swamp creatures, why are so many [alleged] conservative voices now willing to treat Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) as if he’s some warrior for conservatism and the American way? The answer... Read more

Yes, Let’s Celebrate a Win for Life

Last updated on: May 5, 2018 at 9:45 am By Susan Wright

When life wins, we all win. This has long been my position. There is no place in a thriving society for unfettered abortion, where the most defenseless are not jealously guarded. I am pro-life, from the first spark of conception to the fading embers of a soul letting go of this mortal coil and transitioning from the temporal to the eternal. With that in mind, true superheroes walk among us. On Friday, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed into law the... Read more

Hello world!

Last updated on: May 4, 2018 at 10:34 am By Susan Wright

Hello, indeed! For those who didn’t catch wind of the shakeup over at the rightwing blog site, RedState, a week ago, know that something went down and a certain group of writers were “exiled.” I was one of those exiles, and wouldn’t you know it – I ended up here. So one door was closed, but another opened. It’s a God-thing, folks. As I embark on this new phase of my work, you’ll find that I’m pretty firmly settled in... Read more
