You should get used to hearing the name “Elliot Broidy.” Things surrounding Donald Trump’s old pal and associate are starting to pick up – and not in a good way. On Monday, news of the money-making deal between Broidy and George Nader, as they lobbied against Qatar, on behalf of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates revealed they profited by nearly $1 billion in contracts. That, apparently, was only the tip of the iceberg. Tuesday’s report is that Broidy’s... Read more
I brought up earlier today about the joyless, beaten life of Donald Trump’s longtime personal attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen. Things aren’t getting any better for him. In a story breaking today, it appears Cohen’s business partner, a Russian immigrant known as the “Taxi King” may have just rolled over on him. From NBC News: Evgeny Freidman, 47, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a low level felony in New York state court for stealing nearly $5 million in state taxes and has agreed... Read more
The mid-term election season is upon us (in case you’ve missed the onslaught of commercial airtime, touting candidates A, B, or C in your state). One of the more closely watched races is taking place in the state of Texas, as incumbent Senator Ted Cruz seeks to fight off his Democrat challenger, Beto O’Rourke. For starters, you would think this would be a cake walk for Ted Cruz. Cruz was the runner-up in the 2016 Republican presidential primary, battling Donald... Read more
If you ever look at yourself in the mirror and you don’t like what you see, be comforted. At least you’re not Donald Trump’s longtime “fixer” and personal attorney, Michael Cohen. Such a joyless, beaten individual. Cohen is in so much trouble now, as his activities with his hastily formed shell company, Essential Consultants, LLC has come under intense scrutiny. In 2016, Cohen used the company to funnel money to pay off Trump’s former mistress, the porn actress, Stormy Daniels... Read more
Now, even the buildings have sexual orientation. I wish that was a joke, but it’s not. For those parents thinking of sending their impressionable waifs to Tufts University in Massachusetts, understand that this fall, they could be treated to a course examining something called “queer spatial aesthetics” and “queer world-making.” Particular attention will be paid to the architecture of gay bathhouses, night clubs, and “cruising grounds.” Yeah. That’s a thing, apparently. From the folks over at Campus Reform: According to... Read more
I’ve said this often, but given what we’re seeing, it can’t be repeated often enough: Donald Trump may be the most innocent man alive, totally uninvolved in the raging scandal that has followed him for his entire, short career as president. He may be, but he has surrounded himself with some of the shadiest, most corrupt individuals, and everything that is haunting him now is because of those associations. He should pick his friends better. At the very least, he... Read more
President Trump has a problem keeping his personal feelings separate from his job as president. So what things set Trump off? Lack of fealty, critical analysis of his latest decisions, and anyone more successful than he is at business would be at the top of that list. And he really, really doesn’t like Jeff Bezos. Bezos would be the founder and CEO of Amazon, and owner of the Washington Post. Bezos is a genuine success story. He’s a self-made billionaire... Read more
I’m going to preface this piece with the acknowledgment that to date, there has been no official statement from the Vatican, regarding Pope Francis’ beliefs on this particular situation. Until there is, we’re going to take the claims of Juan Carlos Cruz with a grain of salt, and proceed accordingly. To begin, who is Juan Carlos Cruz? He’s a survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of a Chilean Catholic priest. He’s also a gay man. In April, Cruz spent... Read more
This is one of those stories that sticks in my gut and invokes real feelings of disgust and moral outrage. First of all, our nation’s law enforcement officers deserve our thanks. They are putting themselves out there, every day, standing as a bulwark between the lawless and the average citizen in our communities. Are there bad actors who make it through the screening process and into the ranks? There absolutely are, but those are an exception, not the rule. Of... Read more
No honor among thieves. Roger Stone, the creepy-as-death pal, and unofficial adviser to President Trump is letting it be known that when there is no longer Trump, the alt-right boy band breaks up. During an interview with Big League Politics (Seriously, why does anyone outside of Alex Jones still talk to Roger Stone?), Stone suggested that Trump 2020 isn’t necessarily a done deal. The president may still walk away. “I could see him saying ‘you know what? I don’t need... Read more
