Senility, Dementia, or Just Mentally Deranged?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As a political writer, I have covered Trump since 2015. For more than ten years, I have informed my readers about the “real Donald Trump.” I have found nothing which might offer a positive or even patriotic side of the old, obese, ignorant man defiling our White House today. As disappointing as this is, it is the truth, and I kept one promise for more than ten years: the truth lives here. WHEN THE PRESIDENCY IS INVOLVED, AGE IS A FACTOR Trump, his party, and the late-night television shows discussed President Biden’s age ad nauseum. However, these same or similar comments have not been directed towards the orange buffoon pretending to be your president today. On June 14, Trump will become an octogenarian. He is far too old to lead a country or even a Boy Scout Troop. Three weeks after we mourn his birthday, I will have completed 80 years on the planet. I guarantee you that my mental acuity far surpasses that of your illegitimate president. MEMORY AND THE ABILITY...

Dear Readers Google owns the site I use for my blog. Sadly, Google's executive branch supports the worst man in the world, and continues its efforts to censor and block the truth I offer all of you about the orange buffoon. I will never surrender to fascism. If this continues, I will change the provider to and honest and American company. Thank you for your support and please don't give up on America James Turnage/THEWISEOLDFART  

The Inspiration and Creation of the Right-Wing Propaganda Machine

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fox News began broadcasting in 1996. The story claims that billionaire newspaper magnate, Rupert Murdoch and former Republican strategist, Roger Ailes, decided to create a television news network devoted to the conservative side of politics. Some of this may be true, but I believe the inspiration began in the 1980’s. Rupert Murdoch is all about the money, and the original idea came from the most popular television broadcasts of that decade. TRASH TV In the 1980’s, daytime talk shows dominated the ratings on weekdays. The phenomenon likely began with Phil Donahue. He was the first to put a microphone in an audience member’s face. He was followed by Sally Jessy Raphael, Rikki Lake, Montel Williams, Geraldo Rivera, Maury Povich, Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones, Oprah Winfrey, and others. No longer were the men and women on stage celebrities, they were guests who fit into the “topic of the day.” Those topics ranged from overeating disorders, to more salacious situations...

Has Your Illegitimate President Gone Completely Insane?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I wrote my first article about the harm a Trump presidency would cause the American people in 2015, the first thing I learned about the orange buffoon was how poorly educated he was. The second was a revelation that he had a very low level of intelligence. I also had suspicions about his mental acuity, which were soon confirmed. Early in 2017 dozens of reputable psychiatrists offered their joint opinion that Trump was afflicted with Malignant Narcissism. When he was awarded the presidency in 2016, his first actions surpassed my greatest fears. No one could have imagined the level of destruction one man could create. However, one year into his second illegitimate presidency, he more than tripled the damage done to our nation during his first four years. Prior to his huge loss in the 2020 election, Trump and his puppet, Moscow Mitch McConnell, destroyed the credibility of the Supreme Court. They added three unqualified justices who promised to support the pol...

The Sad Life of a Schoolyard Bully

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The life of a human being is short. It is important that we live each day to its fullest. When we lose our earthly bonds, all that remains are those who remember us, and hopefully a few accomplishments to remind our loved ones of a life worth living. The saddest thing I can imagine is being alive for 60, 70, 80 or 90 years, leaving the living behind, and having done nothing of value for which we will be remembered. ONE MAN’S PITIFUL LIFE STORY This is the story of one such man. He had opportunities to accomplish great things, but chose to waste his life seeking personal pleasure and power over others. Donald John Trump was born into a life of great wealth and extreme white privilege. From birth until he received more than 400 million dollars from his father and began his own life in the world of New York real estate, he was given anything he wanted. He was never required to work for his desires. In just a few years, he lost everything. He was never happy with su...

Dozin Donnie and His Dullards

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nothing irritates me more than listening to someone brag about their intelligence, and then make a huge mistake by attempting to say something, proving that they are “dumber than a bag of rocks.” This perfectly describes Trump and his entire administration. I am definitely not the only person in the world who is aware of how dangerous our nation has become. Whether you are a citizen, an immigrant, or a tourist, America has become a nation whose entire environment is composed of anger, extreme hatred, and escalating violence, most arising from within its own government. UNDER TRUMP, OVERSEAS TOURISM IS IN STEEP DECLINE Trump has intentionally placed a sign on every port of entry into the United States for all to see. It has a simple message which anyone can understand: “You Are Not Welcome Here.” Over Trump’s first year in office, tourism is down by 9.4%. That translates into a 29-billion-dollar loss for America’s economy. THE WORST ECONOMY IN MODERN HISTORY ONLY...

Not the Leader of America’s White Supremacist Movement? Where the Hell Have You Been? In Front of the Television for the Last 10 Years?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before he exposed himself as the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement, we knew that Trump was in control of our nation’s white supremacists. Although historians and sociologists confirm the facts about white privilege in America, Trump and his racist supporters deny facts. This is something for which they have real talent. I am a white man, and sometimes that makes me a little ashamed. Born just three weeks after your illegitimate president, my mother gave birth in the world of white privilege. The difference between us is obvious: Trump was born into enormous wealth, while my family was poor. However, we never experienced the existence of a “second America.” I am aware that millions of Americans choose to be ignorant, believing that Trump is not a fascist who hates all non-whites, believes women have but a single purpose, doesn’t believe in God, but believes that Christianity is the only true religion, all Muslims are the enemy of America, and homosexuality is...

Trump’s Plan: Gaslight the American People and the World: Divide and Conquer

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.” If you see something with your own eyes, it is reality, and cannot be questioned or denied. Trump is an idiot, and nothing proves this fact more than when he attempts to convince the American people that what they see is not real, and what he tells them is the only reality. The term is “gaslighting.” ["Gaslighting" (often misspelled "gaslighting") is a manipulative tactic where someone makes a victim question their own reality, memory, or sanity, creating self-doubt, confusion, and dependence, often to gain power, by denying events, trivializing feelings, or twisting facts. It's a form of psychological abuse, making the victim feel "crazy" or like they are "overreacting".] Trump’s biggest problem is that he thinks all Americans are as dumb as he and his followers choose to be. With our birthdays just three weeks apart, I would challenge the orange buffoon t...

Domestic Terrorists Ruling America

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Immediately, without an investigation, without discussing the tragedy with any member of a legitimate law enforcement agency, Kristi Noem stood before the television cameras and claimed that the victim who had just been shot and killed by a member of ICE was a “domestic terrorist who had attempted to run over the agents with her vehicle.” Two videos and statements by eyewitnesses rebuked her rash and unverified statement, calling the death of 37-year-old Renee Niclole Good a murder. NO ONE IN POWER CAN BE TRUSTED IN THE 21 ST CENTURY Personally, because I have learned not to trust anyone in our government, and all law enforcement agencies, while placing my trust in regular Americans, like me, I immediately called “bullshit.” Noem is another paid liar whose only true function is to protect her Fuhrer. Here’s what I know from what I read, not from watching the ‘boob tube.’ Trump, his Nazi Party, six members of the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and 902 oligarchs ar...

CBS Parent Company Abandons Its Legacy and Merges with Fox

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Growing up in the 1950’s and 1960’s, our family watched television. Not having money for anything other than necessities, this was our only form of entertainment. I remain addicted today. On Monday through Friday, we watched the evening news. It was only one-half hour, and hosted by the great Walter Cronkite: “The most trusted man in America.” This is why it saddens me to tell you that CBS has become part of the “Magaverse.” JUST ANOTHER RIGHT-WING PROPAGANDA MACHINE First, CBS’ parent company, Paramount, owned by Trump’s oligarchs, ended Stephen Colbert’s late-night contract. Although his show was rated #1, he told the truth about Trump and his oligarchs, and that was a mortal sin. More recently, they hired a Trump sycophant, Bari Weiss, as their editor-in-chief of its news division. She revealed her plans for the future of CBS News immediately. Ms. Weiss cancelled stories on “60 Minutes” which were offensive to her Fuhrer. When Trump agreed to an interview on ...

Malignant Narcissist, Consumed by Hatred, a Huge Ass, and No Class

Can an Inflated Ego Kill Donnie Boy?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In case you have not read one of my articles before, I must tell you that Trump, and anyone who is forced to spend time with the orange buffoon, suffers from a lifelong illness called “malignant narcissism.” If you read the definition, it describes him without exception. This disease is visible to anyone who listens to him for five minutes or longer. Trump constantly reveals an extreme level of arrogance, and exhibits a highly inflated ego. SIGNS LEADING TO A PROBABLE STROKE Between 2017 and 2021, White House aides described numerous occasions when he would burst into uncontrollable rage, usually occurring when someone disagrees with his destructive agenda, or when a federal judge rejects one of his many, many executive orders. You may have noticed two things during his current cabinet meetings and other State events. Trump falls asleep when he is not speaking, and his advisors are required to offer him effusive praise frequently, although it is always baseless ...

How to Know When Your Government is Lying and Hiding the Truth

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, a reminder for our government: “this is our country. It belongs to us. You work for us and hiding the truth proves that you are lying about everything.” It is totally fair to judge your government by its own words and actions. When the men and women we elect lie to us, all trust is gone, forever. TRUMP LIES CONSTANTLY Since June 15, 2015, Trump told more than 100,000 lies in front of the television cameras, at his hate rallies, and on social media, likely while sitting on the toilet in the middle of the night. His biggest lie, a lie he knew was entirely false, claiming victory in the 2020 election continues. I find it unbelievable that anyone, any voter, in America is so weak-minded they ignore the decisions of more than 60 state courts, and his own, stacked Supreme Court. 2026: MORE LIES AND THE LEAST QUALIFIED ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY There is no possible way Trump could have chosen a less qualified staff for his second, illegitimate administration. Ma...

It’s Time for All Real Americans to Face Reality and Stand up for American Values

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Another of Trump’s constant lies during the 2024 campaign is that his immigration policy would “only detain and deport undocumented immigrants who were criminals, including drug traffickers and rapists.” No surprise: he lied. Trump’s personal Gestapo, ICE, continues to kidnap and incarcerate anyone who is non-white, including citizens and others who have legal, temporary residence in the United States. There are multiple accounts when ICE has beaten, terrorized, and detained innocent men, women, and children. More recently it has murdered one woman in Minneapolis and mortally wounded a man and woman in Portland. These mostly poorly educated, white men wearing masks to hide their identity, claim to be law enforcement, when in reality they are Nazis, eager to cause harm and inflict pain on all non-whites, non-Christians, all women, the LGBTQ community, and anyone who resists their criminal and immoral actions. On Sunday, thousands of patriotic Americans in Minneap...

47 Presidents but Only 45 First Ladies

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has broken every rule, every law, and every custom related to our 47 presidents. One frequently overlooked situation is of little importance, or at least it was until Jeff Bezos placed a big, fat kiss on Trump’s humongous derriere. He funded a movie about Melania. First of all, Melania is not a traditional First Lady. She is nothing more than a trophy wife, his third, and therefore his “First Trophy Wife.” She came to this country as a model, possessing a work visa. Trump was currently unencumbered, without a relationship with only one, woman. So he added another attractive woman to his trophy wall. Like her husband, she has no value to society. In 2018, she announced her personal project. She called it, “Be Best.” It was described as a program designed to protect the rights and care for the needs of neglected and underprivileged children. However, there was no effort on her or her husband’s part. My point is simple. I have experienced 47 presidents and th...

An American President Leads his/her Country by Gaining Trust and Respect: A Dictator Rules by Creating Fear

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump never has been and never will be an American President. He is a fascist dictator. The truth is, he never wanted to have a ‘real job.’ He knows nothing about leadership or government, and has never shown any indication that he is willing to learn how to work, and never for the benefit of others. However, after his rigged victory on November 8, 2016, he saw an opportunity to increase his personal wealth, and he did, by 3.7 billion dollars over four, long years. Vladimir Putin recognized the reality that he would have his greatest asset in a position of power. His lifelong dream of destroying America would be sitting behind the Resolute desk. In 2026, Trump is moving full speed ahead in his efforts to create chaos and end the dream of our Founding Fathers. I will say it again: Trump remains an immature, spoiled child, who is and always was the schoolyard bully. Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t read; or maybe he can’t. If he had read “Being a President for ...

Deception, Illusions, and Fascism

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is highly likely that I have written at least one article about every evil act committed by Trump, his Fascist Party, and his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Much of the damage caused by Trump and his Nazi supporters is irreparable, at least for several decades in the future. I hate Trump and what has become the American Nazi Party. I never use that word. However, Trump has earned its use by me and any loyal and patriotic American. The underlying truth is undeniable. Everything which is happening to our country from the most corrupt politicians in history is farcical. None of it is real, and all of it proves that evil is real, and if there was a “God,” He or She is definitely dead. The following is a short list of what is real and what is not. A real President of the United States follows the rules contained in the Constitution. Trump violates his oath of office, to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, fo...

Pentagon Fails the American People and Ignores Its Constitutional Requirements

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have known about ‘the real Donald Trump’ since 2015 when I began writing about the failed businessman. However, I, and no other political writer could have foreseen how horrific his illegitimate presidencies have become. The mainstream media won’t tell the absolute truth, but I will. Trump is a fascist, a Hitler wannabe, and the leader of the American Nazi Party. Thanks to six corrupt Supreme Court Justices, he has become a dictator. Placing him above the law and granting him powers not intended by our Founding Fathers allows him to ignore his responsibilities as a sitting president and use his position for personal gain and revenge on his millions of enemies. Trump has absolute control over actions by the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of our government. What disappoints and frightens me the most is how the Pentagon surrendered to a fascist who is a draft dodger and once called American soldiers buried in France after WWI “losers and suckers.” ...

What Corrupt Politicians Won’t Tell You About Social Security

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, the big lie about Social Security. Republicans call the program an entitlement. Social Security was originally funded entirely by employers and employees, no taxpayer money was used. However, corrupt politicians have attached additional programs to this retirement fund, and the only reason it may become bankrupt in the near future. [A fter its 1935 origin, the Social Security Act expanded significantly, adding critical programs like Medicare and Medicaid (health insurance for elderly/poor), the federalized Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for needy aged, blind, and disabled, and expanding child welfare and public health grants to states, forming a broader social safety net beyond just retirement. Key additions also included Unemployment Insurance, Disability benefits (within OASDI), and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). Key Expansions & Additions: 1930s-1940s (Original Act & Early Amendments): Unemployment Insurance: A national pro...

“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...
