  I shouldn’t have used this title, but I’m not sorry. I was reading a comment by President Moron when on Air Force One, and I was so angry I began shouting expletives at the computer. I am aware that Trump has no respect for the Constitution, but to claim that he might be running for a third term really pissed me off. But that wasn’t the worst. He continued his big lie, claiming that he won the 2020 election and it was rigged for Joe Biden. Un-fucking believable. Here's the truth. There is an abundance of circumstantial and confirmed evidence that both the 2016 and 2024 elections were bought and paid for by Vladimir Putin, and Trump was complicit with the Russian president. I lost it. Above all I hate lies and liars. The truth is if Trump’s mouth is open, he is either stuffing fast food into his pie hole or about to tell everyone another lie. Liars do not deserve trust or respect, and for me this defines my feelings for the worst man in the world. I have no personal reason to hate...

If you are a low-income or poor America who will soon appear in a court of law, you will find justice is swift and brutal. However, if you are rich, and/or powerful and face similar charges, your case may not come to trial for years, and the outcome is likely predestined. The Sixth Amendment in the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a speedy trial in all criminal prosecutions. This sounds good, but the truth is this amendment offers the rich and powerful more ways to escape a fair trial and to never be punished for their crimes. The best lawyers in America are also the most expensive. Our nation’s justice system is similar to the Income Tax Code. The Tax Code is composed of 6,871 pages. With the exception of about 200 pages the remainder offers ways for the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Our justice system allows the rich and powerful to manipulate the law. Not a single one of these privileged Americans has ever been fairly punished for his or her cr...

In the 1950’s and 60’s my family watched the evening news. It was only a one-half hour broadcast, but men like Walter Cronkite managed to offer viewers nearly everything which happened during the day without offering personal opinions with words, facial expressions, or body language. When billionaire Ted Turner launched CNN in 1980, some people were excited. I was not. I was 34 years old and had no idea how the news could be offered over a 24-hour period which would be of interest to those of us who looked forward to the daily report from our local station. After the first week, it was clear that I was right. Real news took an hour or less. This was repeated about a dozen times over the 24-hour period. The rest of the time was devoted to “entertainment,” which was anything but entertaining. Today’s “news” is even worse. The network personalities either repeat the same stories over and over, and in between allow “experts” to offer their opinions, or they offer nothing but “entertainment...

The undeniable truth is that neither political party exists today. The Party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt is nothing but a memory, and the last Republican president who led the Party of Lincoln was Richard M. Nixon. Yes, Nixon, just check his record. After Ronald Reagan’s victories in 1980 and 1984, cowardly Democrats feared losing elections and began moving away from their liberal principles and more to the right. The party of FDR has never been the same. In that same year, 1980, the election of Ronald Reagan signaled the beginning of the end of the Grand Old Party. Reagan proved that he was a better actor than most people believed. He fooled me and millions of others who were looking for a real leader to take residence in the White House. Reagan informed the entire Republican Party of what his presidency would involve. He was in charge. There would be no opposing opinions or arguments when he declared the party’s position on any issue. In other words, free thought and alternate ideas...

Trump says he will bomb Iran if they refuse to agree to his version of a nuclear arms treaty. A diplomat, he is not. His book, “the Art of the Deal” is another joke. The following quote defines your illegitimate president “Violence is the method of ignorance, the weapon of the weak. The strong of heart and brain need no violence, for they are irresistible in their consciousness of being right.” Alexander Berkman, The ABC of Anarchism Did you vote for Trump? At this point, less than three months since his illegal inauguration, no one will admit to casting their precious ballot for an old fascist with dementia. The worst is yet to come. Trump has threatened to use our military against Americans exercising their First Amendment right to protest. It would be an unlawful act of a wannabe Fuhrer, not a president. The reality is, our military cannot be forced to break the law, and if ordered to do so, it could rightfully turn against the person who gave that order. Someone, somewhere in the w...

Trump will always be the biggest joke played on our nation. The slogan he adopted is a major part of that joke. MAGA has proven to be an anagram for “Make America Garbage Again.” This is a reference to the time before Franklin Delano Roosevelt when the United States government was completely controlled by the wealthiest men in America. That is exactly what is happening today: the destruction of every accomplishment over the last 60-70 years. Over my 78 years, Republicans were known as the “party of regression,” and it is even worse today. It has moved so far away from the Party of Lincoln, it has become an organization composed of fascist philosophy. It is Trump and his party who ignore the needs of all Americans. They and the oligarchs who own them, are responsible for Greedflation, why America is the only nation without universal healthcare for all, allowing the cost of higher education to rise to a level unreachable for most of our country’s people, and denial of the fact that all p...

Across America there is a new four-letter word used by tens of millions of Americans. That word is “M-U-S-K.” His fascist efforts to destroy the lives of working-class Americans is undoubtedly the greatest crime in Republican’s war on the majority since Reagan in 1981. Things the super-rich don’t care about: what other people think of them, the fate of anyone other than themselves, if their actions destroy lives, if America succeeds or fails, and if their efforts to become more wealthy harm others. This is a perfect description of Musk and the other 812 billionaires/oligarchs in America, supported by Trump’s American Fascist Party. It's not that Trump and Musk don’t know that the vast majority of Americans are angry and disappointed by their vile actions, they simply don’t care. These are two, old, white men who lack average intelligence. Here are some of today’s headlines on Google. “Trump doesn’t rule out military intervention in Greenland — again” (Inflation takes a backseat to ...

For the many Constitutional Violations and breaks with normal and well thought out practices prior to their invasion of Washington D.C., Trump and Musk should be locked in a holding cell right now. However, one arrogant old man who ignores the Law of the Land, Elon Musk, is violating a direct order by a federal judge and at the same time violating the Constitution. Remember, this incompetent man from South Africa has no respect for the law or rights of the American people. The ignorant old man is nothing more than a racist interfering in our nation’s government, and although he is forbidden access to Social Security records, he has found a way to circumvent the judge’s order. Remember, he does not have a security clearance at any level. My wife accidentally discovered a website intended to mislead current and new Social Security recipients. The lies offered are dangerous and a reason to place Musk in prison for many years. Of course that won’t happen, In America the rich and powerful a...

After Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, most of the world’s nations realized that only a world war would halt the advance of fascism. A single madman was intent upon placing the world under the rule of his Nazi Party. Only after the United States was attacked on December 7, 1941 did America join the rest of democratic nations to halt the spread of fascism with the intent of destroying Hitler and his Nazis from shaping the entire world according to his personal ambition. I ask a question no one else will: “the previous situation is being repeated today by two old, white Nazis with lesser intelligence. Why have all nations attacked by these two greedy men not targeted them for removal by any means possible?” I will offer you one irrefutable reason. With few exceptions, most of the world’s leaders in the 21 st century are weak, and even cowardly. Only vicious and murderous dictators like Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman are willing to murder their opponents to remain in p...

Trump 2.0 is a continuation of 2017-2021, he is doing nothing for our country and its people. Trump, “the Dictator Destroyer,” is dismantling important agencies, while he ignores inflation, and the fears of millions of our nation’s people. To damage our country further, the Destroyer selected the worst of the worst to fuck up everything which functioned, including Musk, Rubio, Hegseth, RFK Jr., and the rest. The inmates are running the asylum. Some of the “very important” efforts by your mentally challenged president are forcing Greenland to be part of the U.S., making Canada our 51 st state, ending federal funding for education in the inner cities, dismantling law firms associated with many investigations into Trump’s never ending criminal life, and to sum it all up, “taking revenge on anyone and anything which exposed the real Donald Trump.” Hillary Clinton has the courage to tell the absolute truth. Clinton wrote: “Top Trump administration officials put our troops in jeopardy by sh...

In recent days it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump’s administration is the most incompetent and unqualified in history. Sadly, the hypocritical and cowardly members of the Senate confirmed these morons. The careless and dangerous security violations by Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth are far more serious than Trump would like you to know. Imagine that the attacks were against our greatest enemy; Russia. A mistake at this level could mean the physical destruction of America. It is more obvious than ever that Trump’s administration is composed of men and women who fail to possess qualifications for their positions. Unlike President Obama and President Biden, whose staffs were composed of people whose talents and abilities were incomparable. Trump chose individuals much like himself: criminals, degenerates, ambitious men and women who would take any position offered them which would give them relevance and credibility. Experience and qualifications were not considered by T...

The greatest law ever passed. That was Social Security in 1935. However, your corrupt government used our money; the money we and our employers contributed, to fund other programs for the sole purpose of securing votes from the uninformed. Let me make this perfectly clear: the government is using our money, money we placed into a retirement account, to fund other programs they used to get votes. Call it embezzlement or thievery, it doesn’t matter. Your incompetent and corrupt government is composed of criminals and grifters. Look at the list of programs your government uses to play politics with your money. Supplemental Security Income Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Food and Nutrition Assistance Housing Assistance Low-Income Home Energy Assistance General Assistance Earned Income Tax Credit At 78, I have adopted a personal policy I dislike, but have no choice but to face the truth: trust no one with great wealth and/or great power. Op-ed by James Turnage If you follow my blog,...

Claiming to be a Christian does not make you a Christian anymore than a saying, “I am not a racist because I have a Black friend.” I have learned a lot about people as I research information for my articles. I learned that most men and women who call themselves Christians are in fact liars and hypocrites. Included on this list are 99 percent of all politicians, and most definitely Donald Trump. When I was raised as a Catholic, we were taught that a large percentage of those who claim to be Catholics are what we called “Christmas and Easter Catholics.” They never crossed the threshold of their churches with the exception of those two holidays. So what should I call fake Christians in general? Trump has proven beyond a doubt that he is a godless dictator. His political style is a one-way street: “do whatever I demand or you will be a target, upon which I will take revenge.” “Fuck you” is what everyone should say to the immature and cowardly bully, but courage is lacking in Washington in ...

Why is Trump determined to crush any efforts to implement a policy of DEI in American business? Simple. He is a Nazi and the leader of the white supremacist movement in America. He was raised to believe that whites were the persecuted race and men and women of color were attempting to take control of our nation. Trump’s idols are the worst men in history, including Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and the Cown Prince of Saudi Arabia; Mohammad bin Salman. He studied Hitler’s speeches every night. It is true that none of this can be proven. However, several individuals claimed that Trump’s father, “Fred Trump,” attended KKK rallies. What is undeniable fact involves Fred Trump’s real estate empire. Rental agents employed by Trump’s apartments were instructed to place a large red “C” at the top of any applications submitted by men and women of color. Trump worked for his father in these buildings after he received his diploma, obviously purchased by his father, from Wharton Business College. ...

I still remember 1981. I, and millions of other Americans were fooled by an actor. His words allowed us to believe that he would serve all Americans after his 1980 election. However, almost immediately Ronald Reagan earned his label as one of the worst presidents in American history. He waged wars against minorities, the working class, women, and all non-Christians. Trump, who has never taken action based on his own ideas, is now waging war on older Americans and the disabled. He and Musk are making changes to the Social Security Administration which prevent it from being an efficient agency, mandatory for the survival more than 80 million Americans. Approximately 73 million retirees rely on Social Security for most or all of their income. We earned our money: it does not belong to the federal government. We and our employers contributed to the program through payroll deductions. The amount we receive is based on the amount we contributed. If the federal government impedes payment to e...

Trump, Musk, and their entire administration are totally incompetent, unfit, and destructive. They are so horrible that the only sensible thing to do is realize that everything from election day until today is in reality a very bad practical joke on the American people. I should laugh, but I know too much about how our government should function, unlike Trump’s billionaires, criminals, and degenerates. The existence of the United States is in great jeopardy. Unfortunately, no one seems to care, including everyone in Washington, and the mainstream media. In just over two months, our nation has relinquished its position as the most powerful, the most respected, and the richest country on the planet. America is no longer the leader of the free world. This title now belongs to the leaders of the European Union, and the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney. For their nations, Trump is now their enemy and the reason they will soon face economic disaster. One of the biggest dangers to ou...

I was a ‘latch key kid’ in the 1950’s. My brother and I were never in danger because our apartment was very close to our school. Next door to our small apartment building was an old house, followed by the convent, the rectory, the Church and the school. The first television we had was 9 inches wide and 9 inches tall. Of course the picture was in black and white. Television was our family’s major source of entertainment. If I was home, the television was on, even as I did my homework. I’m sure that I was one of millions of young men and women who fantasized about living the lives of the characters on the screen. Some things never change, at least not entirely. Two of my favorite movies, and one of the greatest television shows in history inspire me to dream again, even at the age of 78. For as long as I can remember, I held in my mind an image of what a President of the United States should be. The first president I remember was Dwight Eisenhower. I turned on the television when I came ...

I am a 78-year-old man who is loyal to his country, a man who opposes organized religion, a liberal, meaning I care about others as much as I care about myself, but I do not trust anyone in my government. In fact, I trust no one who is in a position of power, and that includes Trump’s oligarchs/billionaires. It took four decades for me to learn to see the undeniable truth. If you trust Trump, you would have trusted Hitler in 1930’s Germany. Trump uses the same tactics, and they are effective either because Americans are stupid, or because they share his hatred of freedoms, including free thought and the right to do anything which does not infringe upon the rights of others. If you are one of the few adamant supporters of the worst traitor in America’s history, you are undoubtedly a white supremacist and a regressive who wants America to return to “the dark old days.” Since the death of the greatest President in American history in 1945, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our nation began to de...

It’s obvious that Trump and his co-conspirator, Musk, don’t care, but a revolution is beginning across America. The policies of these old, white men are so vile and offensive, a ground swell of angry protesters are filling town halls across America directing their anger at Republican politicians. At the same time, Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders and New York Representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are holding rallies in opposition to the current plutocracy and the fact that Trump is surrendering America to his 813 oligarchs, and drawing huge crowds of supporters. Facts: Trump, Musk, and their party are Nazis forcing their fascist agenda on the American people. A plutocracy, rule by the super-rich, cannot exist when a democratic government is in control. Trump’s plan is to end democracy, and establish a fascist regime, with himself as its Fuhrer. Don’t believe me? Read the Republican Party’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, and you will quickly learn the truth. Very few Democrats and I...
