Trump’s “Shovel Ready” Infrastructure Plan Has a Hefty Price Tag

Last updated on: April 30, 2019 at 10:45 pm By Susan Wright

Please, somebody remind me in what way Donald Trump is supposed to be “conservative.” Seriously, when you scratch past all the orange spray tan and MAGA-speak, all you’re left with is another irresponsible, big spending government hack, living off of a checkbook that belongs to the American taxpayers. Yes, I know there are some MAGA faithful who will hear this and have 100 fresh memes, ready to go, in order to explain to us why President Trump siding with the... Read more

Trump Family Sues to Keep Financial Records Hidden

Last updated on: April 30, 2019 at 10:34 am By Susan Wright

So I wrote last week about Deutsche Bank cooperating with authorities, as far as turning over the financial records of the Trump Organization. Just to catch up, it was in March that New York Attorney General Letitia James issued subpoenas, regarding projects by the Trump Organization. Deutsche Bank – one of the only banks in the world still willing to do business with Donald Trump – were reportedly cooperating with the investigation. The Southern District of New York are not...

Dumb Internet Grifter, Jacob Wohl, Continues Record of Being Really Bad at It

Last updated on: April 30, 2019 at 6:52 am By Susan Wright

So Jacob Wohl, the treacherous internet stain who found himself in hot water last year, after promising to bring forward women with harrowing tales of sexual assault at the hands of special counsel Robert Mueller is at it, again. For the record, the FBI began to investigate the claims, and after a bizarre press conference with Wohl and his partner in idiocy, Jack Burkman, in which the promised “victim” never showed, the attempt to smear the former FBI director seemed...

With a Whimper, Rod Rosenstein Resigns

Last updated on: April 29, 2019 at 8:12 pm By Susan Wright

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is abandoning ship, and no one is surprised. In fact, there has been talk for several months of Rosenstein’s resignation, with the word being that he would leave when special counsel Robert Mueller completed his report. It was Rosenstein who appointed Mueller in May 2017, after President Trump admitted on national television that he’d attempted to obstruct the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, by firing FBI Director James Comey. Oh, wait… We’re... Read more

The System Failed AJ Freund

Last updated on: April 27, 2019 at 9:11 am By Susan Wright

Five years. Five years is nothing. It’s less than vapor, such a short time in the life of a child. At five years old, a child is only just beginning to form their personality, make friends, or discover the world around them. At five years old, parents should be nurturing and loving their child. He should feel secure in knowing that while he bounds off to conquer imaginary sea creatures in the back yard, or should he fall and skin... Read more

Franklin Graham Didn’t Lie About Pete Buttigieg, but…

Last updated on: April 26, 2019 at 9:06 am By Susan Wright

I haven’t seen eye-to-eye with Franklin Graham on much, these days. In my opinion, Graham, son of the late Evangelist Billy Graham, has forgotten his first call, which is to pick up where his father left off. He is to seek the lost, be the hands and feet of God to a dark and hurting world. He is to use his name, his platform, and his gifts to bring the Gospel as a light to those who will hear and...

Deutsche Bank Providing Trump Organization Financial Records

Last updated on: April 24, 2019 at 10:02 pm By Susan Wright

As I pointed out recently, our president is not behaving as someone who has chalked up a win. Each day since the Mueller report dropped, Trump has blown up his social media with increasingly frantic, angry posts. Completely exonerated? It certainly doesn’t seem that way. He acts like a man who knows the clock is ticking. He acts like he knows the results of the Mueller report were not the end of it for him. I know some of you... Read more

Let’s Talk About Election Security (but DON’T TELL TRUMP)

Last updated on: April 24, 2019 at 11:43 am By Susan Wright

The primary job of the president of the United States is to see to the defense and security of our nation, as well as to faithfully uphold the laws that govern our land. Now let’s talk about Donald Trump. Has anyone else noticed that from the moment it was revealed that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, up unto this very day, our president has raged against everyone except Russia? He’s done more than simply ignore a blatant attack against... Read more

Trump Waves His Iron Fist of Rule

Last updated on: April 22, 2019 at 3:13 pm By Susan Wright

He just can’t help himself, can he? With special counsel Robert Mueller’s report released, it has done nothing to ease the tensions between competing sides on the issue of Russian interference in the 2016 election, or the Trump campaign team’s possible connection to those Russian efforts. In fact, Mr. Mueller left much up to the interpretation of Congress. This has caused no small amount of distress for those who wanted to see him come down firmly on the side of... Read more

After Mueller Report Drop, Trump Still Acting Like a Desperate Man

Last updated on: April 20, 2019 at 10:49 pm By Susan Wright

So here’s a question: If the Mueller report was such a victory for Donald Trump and all of Trumpdom, why is he still acting like the clock is ticking away to his last moments of freedom? He acts like a man convicted. As a matter of fact, the president only took a brief victory lap after his fixer, Attorney General William Barr dropped his well-scripted presser on Thursday, pushing a false narrative of a report that assured us the Oval...
