Get your stories straight, gentlemen. The world is watching. How many of you have heard about the group of Republican lawmakers who traveled to Russia on the week of July 4th to meet with Russian officials, ahead of President Trump’s planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin? Among topics discussed, it appears they covered the 2016 election and Russia’s interference, as well as sanctions put in place by the Obama administration because of that interference, as well as sanctions that... Read more

Why am I thinking about the lyrics to the Beyoncé song, “Irreplaceable,” here? Lanny Davis, the new attorney for former Trump “fixer,” Michael Cohen is hitting the circuit and letting it be known that his client is not chained to Donald Trump, any longer, nor will he be the guy to “take a bullet” to protect the president. Attorney Lanny Davis told The Hill’s new morning show Rising with Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton that Cohen’s statements to ABC News’ George Stephanopolous... Read more

Slippery slope, it appears we have arrived. Several years back, when the Supreme Court took the issue of marriage out of the hands of states, in violation of the Tenth Amendment, I heard a lot of talk about that “slippery slope” and what doors could open up. That was just a small part of a widening divide in our society, as members of the LGBT community became more vocal, more militant, and increasingly disrespectful of traditional, societal mores. The push... Read more

Well, isn’t this convenient? I’ve been telling you about the pain being felt by pork and soy farmers, nail manufacturers, Harley-Davidson motorcycles and others, all victims of President Trump’s ill-advised, absolutely NOT conservative trade war against our allies. China is a another deal, all together. I suspect President Trump is desperately conflicted. On the one hand, he openly admires how Xi Jinping has been able to wrest away control of the nation, effectively making himself president for life. Such a... Read more

Let’s continue to follow the drama unfolding, in regards to former attorney and “fixer” for Donald Trump, Michael Cohen. Cohen once said he’d take a bullet for Donald Trump, but since his home and office space was raided by federal authorities in April, with a dozen electronic devices confiscated and millions of documents, it would seem reality has kicked in and Cohen is not feeling the love from his former client. In fact, President Trump likely helped tighten the noose... Read more

How long does the American Evangelical community feel they can entertain moral rot and decay in their bloodstream, for the sake of political “wins”, before there is a critical shutdown? As a key voting bloc on the right, Evangelical voters used to stand for something – a restoration of a nation that found its greatness through dependence on God. How can they still claim that as their purpose, if they’re willing to embrace the ungodly? It’s because those that use... Read more

If no one can convince him here, someone will, at some point in his journey, but I fear by that time it will be too late for him. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is a ruthless, profane man, and it is baffling that a largely Christian nation would elect such a man. He didn’t get this way overnight. As mayor of Davao City, he was equally ruthless, but efficient. In 2009, human rights watchdog groups accused him of allowing – even... Read more

Who wants to give the over-under on how long it will take the nation to dig out of the rubble of the foreign policy mess Donald Trump creates? Will we even get the chance? Between trade wars and alienating our allies in the world, to total capitulation to despots and geopolitical foes, there’s no way we come out of this as winners. As Trump derpity-derps his way through his presidency, others are left to do the heavy lifting. Secretary of... Read more

What could go wrong? Everything. We’re just above a week away from the Helsinki, Finland summit between President Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. Many (myself included) see this as the absolute worst of ideas. Trump is not ready. He has neither the temperament or the intellect to understand what he’s walking into, and his brilliant plan is to walk in alone, with no foreign policy aides or anyone to keep a record of what is said. He’s doing this... Read more

It may be nothing. It could be something. Regardless of whether it is or isn’t, this is just one more thing surrounding Donald Trump and his businesses that looks bad. A new report is announcing its findings that charities that chose to have their galas at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort were rewarded with given large donations from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, afterwards. Nearly all of the $706,000 in donations made by the Donald J. Trump Foundation in Palm Beach County since... Read more
