“THE DEATH OF A NATION”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike the mainstream media, I refuse to tiptoe around the edges of the truth. I will always jump right into the middle and tell you what’s really happening in Washington. Whatever country in which I live today, it is not the United States of America. In just one year Trump has destroyed the ideals, principles, and the reputation of a nation which was once the most respected in the world. Trump intentionally creates chaos, fear, and anger throughout the world every day. He is the worst and most hated man in modern history. Inside America, the statement made by former FBI Director, Christopher Wray, that ‘domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people,’ has become a reality. What he did not predict is the fact that the leader of domestic violence in America has become the old, obese man violating our White House today. His personal Gestapo is a poorly trained group of thugs, villains, and Nazis posing as “law enforcement officers.” ICE is perfor...

It Is Totally Acceptable and Reasonable to Hate a Hater

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I despise and attempt to eliminate from my life emotions of anger and hatred. I reject all forms of violence including the death penalty, and all wars and invasions. Anger is a waste of time, hate is almost always based on ignorance. Killing another human being is playing God.. There are rare exceptions to hatred, and there is no better example than Donald John Trump. Trump’s entire 325-350 pounds are composed of hatred. He, his administration, his political party composed of Nazis, and all broadcast television networks claiming to be “conservative,” but are in fact propaganda machines for right-wing extremists, constantly spread hatred which eventually breeds violence. His deliberate effort to destroy our nation from within is the reason every true American learned to accept hatred for the orange buffoon. As I grew into adulthood in the 1960’s, I paid more attention to what was happening in Washington. I wasn’t shocked, but I was a little surprised about the an...

Is This the Beginning of a Second Civil War?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart We’re a little slow, but when the situation becomes unbearable, the American people eventually stand up and say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore.” It’s time for ICE to be disbanded. Trump’s personal Gestapo is composed of villains and thugs. The level of violence from this group of less than humans, is escalating rapidly. When Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE agents in Minneapolis, the Trump administration began telling outrageous lies in an effort to cover-up the truth. However, eyewitness accounts combined with two videos don’t lie. This was an act of first-degree murder committed by a group of Nazis. On Thursday, two additional innocent American citizens were shot by Trump’s Gestapo in Portland. After the man and woman were rushed to a hospital, their condition unknown, Portland city council member, Sameer Kanal, had this to say.  “You are hearing and you are seeing attempts to justify the unjustifiable, to completely defend the in...

I Laughed Until I Cried

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I grew up in Los Angeles. I was raised by a single mother. My brother and I never knew that we were poor. We were happy and had everything we needed. Our only form of entertainment came from television or Saturdays at the local movie theater. Movies composed a large percentage of our pleasure when we were not at the beach or playing sports. All movies fit into categories which include love stories, comedies, action films, dramas based on real events or from novels, and stories based on the actual lives of real people. Therefore, when I was watching Amazon Prime a few days ago, and a promotion describing an upcoming documentary about Melania Trump appeared on the screen, I laughed so hard I began to cough. Melania Trump is the old, orange buffoon’s most recent trophy wife. It is impossible to find a single accomplishment in her life other than marrying a wannabe billionaire who allowed her to remain in America and eventually become another immigrant who was given...

There is no Choice: ICE Must be Disbanded and the Organization Removed from our Government Forever

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Thugs, villains, criminals, racists, bigots, Nazis: these terms clearly define the men who compose Trump’s personal Gestapo known as ICE. What happened in Minneapolis to 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was bound to happen. ICE has been escalating its acts of violence over the last 12 months. As a group, they continue to demonstrate a total lack of respect for human life. Like all schoolyard bullies, Trump is using ICE to commit crimes against humanity in his name. Trump and his woefully unqualified Director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, are lying to cover-up what is clearly an act of murder. They claim that this mother of three was attempting to drive her vehicle into members of Trump’s Gestapo. This vile event happened in a residential neighborhood, and the following is an eyewitness account. [A witness to the shooting told CNN her "life is forever changed" after what happened. Emily Heller recounted how she was in the middle of making breakfast wh...

Greedflation, Tariffs, Pedophilia, World Domination, and the Moron in the White House

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It has become personal. I trusted in the thousands of respected economists who warned us about the idiocy and probable collapse of our nation’s economy if Trump refused to listen and placed tariffs on nearly every nation in the world. Yesterday my wife and I experienced additional proof that your illegitimate president is mentally challenged and is now a complete moron. Our grocery bills have risen since last January. Yesterday my bride picked up a prescription, one she has taken for several years. The last time she had it refilled, the cost was about $50.00. Yesterday, it was over $100.00. The fact that Trump continues to have a single supporter worries me. Has the average intelligence of our nation dropped far below the norm? Has common sense become a thing of the past? Trump has never possessed an intellect which I would describe as “average.” However, as he nears the age of 80, when most men are wise enough to stay home and keep their opinions to themselves,...

Money is Without a Doubt the Root of All Evil, but Where is the Source of Good and Kindness?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The proof is before us every minute of every day, on the boob tube and on the internet. The worst man in the world is following the path of his idol and causing enormous harm to billions of people to satisfy his own ungodly needs. Trump is proof that “money is the root of all evil.” Nothing else, not sexual desire, or a desire to have all the latest “toys” comes close to the need to accumulate outrageous wealth. That was the easy part of this story. The mainstream media has enjoyed increased profits over the last 10 years as they focused their cameras on Trump incessantly. Sensationalism increases viewership, and therefore advertising revenue. They have no interest in the truth, only how much money they receive. Every major news network is owned by one of Trump’s oligarchs. The Fourth Estate began its rapid demise in June of 2015 when Trump rode down the escalators and declared his plan to destroy America from the inside out. Thanks to a cowardly and hypocritica...

What Were You Doing Five Years Ago Today?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart My wife and I were retired on January 6, 2021. We were watching television when the broadcast was interrupted with an announcement of “BREAKING NEWS.” The next thing we saw was a hastily constructed wooden structure but no one was standing on it. A couple of minutes later we saw the humongous ass of your illegitimate president struggling to walk up two stairs and stand behind a microphone. Thus began the “big lie,” and the darkest day in American history. Trump addressed a small number of his cult’s members. We later learned that an even larger number were already outside of the Capitol building. First, he told the big lie, although every court in the land, including his own, stacked Supreme Court threw out the cases before them, claiming that he had won the November 2020 election. Then he ordered them to march to the Capitol and prevent the certification of the Electoral College vote. Although this is a requirement contained in the Constitution, the old, obese ...

Trump Returns to His Core Passion: “Making America White Again”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 2025 was a very, very long year. Some of you may have forgotten that Trump’s attacks on America began with efforts to punish minorities and the poor for not being rich and white. Diversity, equity, and inclusion, known as DEI, is a purely American ideal. If we are all equal under the law, and share the same Constitutional and Human rights, it simply makes sense. However, Trump is a Nazi. His fascist policies, contained in the right-wing’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, claim that all non-whites, and all ethnicities not originating from Western Europe are inferior, and therefore not protected by the Constitution. It’s commonly called “white supremacy,” and Trump is its leader. The United States District Attorney, and the Department of Justice, including the FBI, are intended to be separate from the executive branch. However, Pam Bonie and her DOJ take their orders directly from the orange buffoon. Tood Blanche, Deputy District Attorney, and another Trump stooge...

Trump is “The Imperialist President”

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America has been guilty of Imperialism for most of its 249 years. We “stick our noses” into situations in other countries and make the conditions worse. Imperialism: “a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force.” In my 79 years, a relatively short period of time in the history of the world, I have witnessed American imperialism in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Afghanistan may be the worst example of the ignorance of an American president and his administration in history. George W. Bush ordered an attack inside Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. He told the American people that our intelligence agencies had located the architect of the attacks on 9/11 in a country with a long history of wars, and harboring criminals. Bin Laden was located in a cave located in the Tora Bora area of Afghanistan. However, when Bush learned that the actual area where bin Laden was located was in Pakistan, he ended...
Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart War Crimes can be added to Trump’s dark and dismal resume. He is not alone. Our military brass, those who hide in the Pentagon, are complicit with the worst man in the world. Beginning in his early days, Trump revealed his worship of Adolf Hitler. Several friends of his first wife, Ivana, were told that he read Hitler’s speeches every evening before going to sleep. Today, the fifth day of a new, and possibly last year of life on planet earth, Trump has begun his own fascist plan for world domination. His efforts have been sanctioned by his own party, the Supreme Court, and the Pentagon. He also has a partner in his vile plans, his mentor, Vladimir Putin. The United Nations Security Council is currently in session to discuss Trump’s latest crimes against humanity, and international law. The UN chief António Guterres told ambassadors there must be respect for national sovereignty, “political independence and territorial integrity,” after warning on Saturday that t...

In 2026, Trump is Creating Chaos, Inciting Wars Around the World, and Encouraging New Terrorist Attacks Against the American People

Image
   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If the American people have learned anything about their illegitimate president, there are two facts which stand above all others. He will do anything to prevent the exposure of his penchant for pedophilia, and the fact that his book, “The Art of the Deal,” was nothing more than a fairy tale. Trump is a lifelong schoolyard bully. All bullies are cowards and use others to fight their battles. Trump is using the incompetent men and women in the Pentagon to redirect attention from the facts contained in the Epstein files and place focus on his war crimes. What happened off the coast of Venezuela and Nigeria are nothing but acts of premeditated murder. Most American presidents attempt diplomatic discussion prior to military action. Trump lacks any ability to communicate and therefore any talent for honest and meaningful negotiation. With another Constitutional violation, Trump began military action against a sovereign nation, Venezuela, alleged M...

Trump is a Very Old Man Who Made a Choice to Reject Maturity

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like your illegitimate president, I will be 80 years old this year if I live for another six months. Unlike Trump, I have grown. I learned from both my accomplishments and my mistakes. I recognized how the little changes in my life made a big difference and why I am the man I am today. My life has been filled with good times and bad. I did my best, but that was not always good enough. I never gave up, and as I enter the last chapter of my life on earth, I am satisfied that I did the best I could. I learned that no one is perfect. Trump and I may be the same age, chronologically, but he and I are extremely different, and only one of us has accomplished anything of value in his life. Trump clearly made a choice in his early teens that he would pursue a life of pleasure, rejecting a path which might have accomplished something of importance; something of value. Simply put, he refused to reach maturity. This is sad because he was born into extreme white ...

Will Trump’s Failing Mental and Physical Health Place America in Another Unwinnable War

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “I love wars, even the nuclear kind.” This was a statement made by your illegitimate president during the 2016 campaign. As the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s personal documents grew near, Trump began attempts to redirect the expected proof that he is a pedophile, and create fear within our nation’s people. He wants a war more than anything else he can imagine. Only another illegal war, created by a Republican president, could force the people to redirect their focus. In collusion with the Pentagon, Trump began ordering the murders of passengers in power boats off the coast of Venezuela. He claimed they were transporting illicit drugs but had no proof. That was just the beginning. The truth is, these actions are war crimes, and our military leaders are guilty for their violations of the UCMJ, the Universal Code of Military Justice. He is now threatening an invasion of Iran. Protesters are filling the streets, blaming their government for a failing economy resultin...

Someone is Stealing My Stories: Please Follow Me and Receive the True and Accurate Version

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I discovered a new, non-profitable career in 2012 as a political writer. I began writing for a Las Vegas newspaper, and stayed with the Editor and Publisher for a decade through many changes and new ventures. One new attempt was placed in my hands to develop a following. I edited stories from other writers and wrote several of my own each day. It remains an active blog today called the Guardian Liberty Voice. Since 2022, I left that world behind and concentrated on my own blog, TheWiseOldFart, and my novels. I completed 10 and am working on an eleventh. Follow me and you will always learn the absolute truth. If you are tired of listening to the mainstream media and its offerings of half-truths, and misleading innuendos, the truth will always live here. I have not watched a television news broadcast since November 9, 2016. I admit the truth is often frightening, but to be informed is to be a patriotic American.

Bragging About Non-existent Successes, Without Admitting Actual Failures, is Exclusively the Action of a Mentally Incompetent Old Man

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Intelligent humans learn as much or more from their mistakes than they do from their successes. Contrary to claims by the orange buffoon, pretending to be your president, no one is or ever has been perfect. As he did between 2017 and 2021, he constantly brags about accomplishments which are clearly non-existent. What Trump has “accomplished” in his first year as your illegitimate president are all destructive and will require decades to undo. Here is a short list of his failures. Sadly, there is not a single positive success to find. A failure to end Inflation/Greedflation. The problem has been escalated by his ill-advised tariffs. Unemployment is rapidly rising across the nation. This situation is the result of his failed economic policies. The opinions of our allies are critical. In the 21 st century, the future of every nation is only sustainable if it has loyal allies. Today, in 2026, America is no longer a respected and revered nation. Trump’s actions, com...

Something Trump Can Legitimately Brag About: He is a Perfect Hypocrite

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The mainstream media is constantly hiding facts from the American people. I will never offer less than the truth to my readers. Trump sent National Guard Troops to Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago for one reason, and one reason only: to prevent the “No Kings” protests against his authoritarian and fascist actions by true and patriotic Americans. As America’s leading hypocrite, he is taking action to protect protestors, albeit in a Muslim nation. Protests against the failure of Iran’s leaders based on a declining economy, have turned deadly. “If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” Throughout our nation’s 249 years, our federal government continues to interfere with events occurring in other nations. We are not a “great nation,” and we are not the “world’s police force.” We have no right to impose our beliefs on other nations...

John Roberts Tries to Bullshit the American People: Hint: He Failed

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Darkest Day in American History happened on January 6, 2021. My wife and I watched all three hours of an event planned, organized, and executed by a sitting president. It was an attempted coup, although it has been represented as a lesser crime by those who support Donald John Trump. The second darkest day happened in October of 2020. Breaking his own unconstitutional rule, Moscow Mitch McConnell’s choice to complete the nine-members of the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, was confirmed by the Senate just weeks prior to the presidential election in November. Moscow Mitch and Trump succeeded in their efforts to stack the Supreme Court of the United States with three additional right-wing extremists, created a super majority by 6-3. Their first notable and destructive effort occurred on June 24, 2022. Six fascist-leaning justices overturned a 49-year-old decision by a legitimate Court known as Roe v Wade. This action removed the rights of all women to make de...

I Choose to Die But Once as a Free Man, not a Little with Every Breath I Take Under the Rule of a Treasonous and Ruthless Dictator

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As an original baby boomer, patriotism was all around me. My father had returned from a ship in the Pacific in 1945. He had survived the war to prevent the spread of fascism. I was born in Lewiston, Idaho, in 1946. With jobs now plentiful in Los Angeles and other major cities, my maternal grandparents, me, my mother, father, my little brother, and one of my uncles moved to the City of Angels in 1952. In the fall, I was sent to St. Mark’s Elementary School to attend 1 st grade. Every morning our teacher, a nun, had us face the American flag standing in the corner and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Those words, and their meaning, will live inside my head for the rest of my life. However, in 2025, they mean nothing to the orange buffoon defiling our White House. Today is the first day of 2026: a new beginning which offers hope for the return of democracy, and freedom to all people living inside the United States of America, regardless of race, sex, religious pre...

In Nine Days Trump Will Have Been Your Illegitimate President for One, Very Long Year: These Are His “Accomplishments”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Between 2017 and 2021, Trump nearly placed our nation in another Great Depression. Over one million Americans lost their lives from the effects of Covid-19 while Trump told us, “it will just go away.” However not a single positive accomplishment can be found over those four, long years. In 2025, your illegitimate president is once again ignoring the needs and wishes of America’s majority while he pretends to be the leader of 340 million people. In just nine days, the orange buffoon will have completed the first year of his four-year term. I know it seems much longer because the damage he has caused to our nation is 100 times worse than the first. Trump began his attack on America with the creation of DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency. To lead this new and unnecessary department, he chose a billionaire with no experience in government but had donated more than 350 million dollars to his campaign; Elon Musk. In Nine Days, Trump Will Have Been Your Illegiti...
