The DOJ is no Longer Independent from Fascist Donald Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America is a nation without laws which are fair and just. The Department of Justice and the Attorney General are no longer independent from the Executive Branch and serve their Fuhrer, not the 340 million people who are the United States of America. When Trump was allowed to become America’s 45 th president on January 20, 2017, I knew something wasn’t right. The greatest failure and least qualified man in history could not have defeated the most qualified presidential candidate in history. When we were allowed to know that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump, everything began to make sense. Months later, when I learned that a meeting was held in the Oval Office between Obama, Biden, the leaders of both political parties, and the heads of every security agency in America, and the purpose was to confirm Putin’s deep involvement, I became angry. My anger turned into rage when I discovered that the meeting took place one month befor...

Trump Once Again Fails Our Nation’s Economy

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When Trump was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021, the economy of the United States was nearing a second Great Depression. You never heard this on the evening television news broadcasts. They would never make their leader look bad. His failure to lead our nation in the fight against Covid-19, combined with a fiscal policy of “trickle-down economics,” a policy which failed three previous Republican presidents, unemployment was rising, small businesses were nearing bankruptcy, and increasing uncertainty resulted in a nosedive on Wall Street. In 2025, Trump is dumb enough to continue the worst fiscal policy in American history, “trickle-down economics,” and has added an even more destructive policy, huge tariffs. The lengthy fight to create a free economy with our allies was flushed down the toilet. Tariffs never work, but Trump doesn’t care. Afflicted with malignant narcissism and a corrupt Supreme Court, he is mad with power. A lifelong schoolyard b...

2016, 2020, 2024: They Know it and We Know it

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s much easier to ‘rig’ an election than you might think. In a world which continues to experience advances in technology at supersonic speed, the best men and women in this field are the true leaders of a military force which has the ability to dominate the entire planet. I believe that Vladimir Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine is a smokescreen. It is no secret that Russian hackers are the best in the world. “I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.”-Albert Einstein In the 21 st century, the world has changed but it cannot move as quickly as the advances in electronics and technology. I sincerely believe that WWIII has begun and the most frightening and powerful weapons are the minds of a select group of computer geniuses. Months after the 2016 election, our government finally admitted that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump. However, our leaders lied ...

When Fascists Rule Over Us, Science and Facts Mean Nothing

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Democrats are the party of progressive thought and action: for the most part. Republicans are the party of regressive thought and action, who are currently working to move our nation back into the dark days of our country when racism, bigotry, and extreme capitalism dominated every action occurring in Washington . For example, while 95 percent of the world’s climatologists claim that climate change is the greatest danger to our planet, and a danger which threatens world peace, those who call themselves “Republicans” deny science and deny the truth, that man’s dependence on fossil fuels is the primary reason. Most Democrats support all rights related to the LGBTQ community. Republicans are currently attacking a group of Americans who are among the most vulnerable: transgender citizens. The once Grand Old Party is dominated by men and women who harbor negative emotions, anger, hatred, and the incitement of violence in support for their fascist ambitions. None of w...

The Real Democratic Party Died in 1945

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have written many stories about the Republican Party taking its final breath on January 20, 2017. Although this is a fact, it’s not surprising. For more than 15 years, when the TEA Party was allowed to invade the former Grand Old Party, all right-wing politicians began moving farther to the right. Today, they have become fascists. However, what I never told you in so many words, is that the Democratic Party no longer exists, and hasn’t for the last 80 years. In 1932, the greatest President of the United States in history was elected for the first time. Over the next 13 years, Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s policies were focused on the working man and woman; the majority. Although he was reluctant to enter into the second World War, he prepared our nation for the possibility. When we were attacked by the Japanese on December 7, 1941, we were ready to help our allies defeat the evil forces of fascism. There has never been a president like FDR and I doubt there ever...

Trump “the Destroyer” is Also a Murderer

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In December of 2019, your illegitimate president was informed by an aide, whose responsibility it was to read the Presidents Daily Brief, that a “probable healthcare emergency was evolving in Asia.” Trump ignored the information. In January of 2020, when the press began to ask questions about a new coronavirus spreading across parts of the world, Trump’s response confirmed his lack of leadership. He stood before the television cameras and lied. “America is better prepared, and it will just go away.” That was his only response, “it will just go away,” until March when Americans began to lose their lives from the deadly effects of Covid-19. After a real President, Joe Biden, created a plan to distribute a life-saving vaccine, the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 exceeded one million. Healthcare experts claim that Trump’s failure to take immediate action in January of 2020 is responsible for at least 10 percent of those deaths. Trump became not only a white-coll...

When the President, Military Leaders, and the Supreme Court Approved Torture, America Was Doomed

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For most of my 79 years, our nation’s leaders placed morality, and common sense in priority number one. This allowed the world to consider the United States the most respected nation ion the world. Then 9/11 happened. The second worst president in history, along with his Vice-President, who was opportunistic and a war monger, overreacted and altered the moral character and principles of what was once the most envied nation on the globe. The Constitution was placed in a dustbin, awaiting its destruction, as tactics of fear, anger, and hatred were used to secure power for one political party. Under the advice of the devil’s disciple, Dick Cheney, President George W. Bush approved radical and anti-American actions under the guise of protecting our nation from future terrorist attacks on American soil. This was all bullshit, and what became an effective method to control 330 million uninformed Americans, and win reelection. Hundreds, if not thousands of men who were...

Jeffrey Epstein and His Best Friend Donald John Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When Trump declared his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2015, I decided that I needed to know more about the New York businessman. Although most of his biography was public record, I wanted to know more about the man other than what I saw on television and read about in various publications. I knew that after he received his diploma from Wharton in 1968, he joined his father’s real estate business. Digging deeper, I discovered that what later became the “Trump Organization” was extremely racist. When Black men and women filled out rental applications for one of Fred Trump’s properties, the agent reviewing their applications was instructed to put a large, red “C” at the top of the application. Digging even deeper, it was Donald Trump who left a successful business outside of Manhattan and moved into the more glamorous and lucrative world he always dreamed about. I learned that he married first wife, Ivana, in 1977. They were div...

The Antichrist Continues to Use Religion as a Justification for Evil

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Read the First Amendment carefully. Our Founding Fathers considered these promises, these guarantees of human rights, the most important paragraph ever written. “ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The first line was obviously extremely important to the men who signed the Constitution in 1789. The “straw that broke the camel’s back,” and why they left England, was the declaration by King George III that the Anglican Church would be the single religion in the British Empire. This single sentence clearly demands the separation of Church and State. It guarantees all Americans the right to practice the religion of their choice, but also guarantees freedom from religion. I am one of about 100 million American citizens who reject al...

Apparently, Most Americans Support the End of Democracy and Accept Fascism Instead of Freedom: Tell me I’m Wrong

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I care. I have been warning the American people in print newspapers, blogs including The Las Vegas Guardian Express, the Guardian Liberty Voice, and my own Ask Reverend Jim and TheWiseOldFart for more than a decade that Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have a master plan to end the United States and create a fascist state. Most of our nation’s citizens choose ignorance over fact. As long as they can purchase the latest i-Phones, buy Taylor Swift concert tickets, fill their stomachs with take-out or delivery food, and waste money they don’t have on “things,” they are happy to remain uninformed. Like Trump, they “learn everything they need to know on television.” For those who have ignored how quickly all three branches of our government have become corrupted, and the truth that the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments have already been shredded, read this article and weep. America is one step away from becoming a fascist nation ruled by the worst man in the wo...

“America Party?”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Let’s discuss the ‘enigma’ which is Elon Musk. I don’t know what others think of him, or how much they know about the ‘man,’ not the image. Musk was born in South Africa on June 28, 1971. His wealthy mother immigrated to Canada in 1989, where she and her son became citizens. In 2002, Musk moved to the United States and became an American citizen. Musk is best known as the CEO of Tesla, and SpaceX. In 2024, he joined Trump’s campaign and donated a reported 291.5 million dollars to the orange buffoon’s campaign. Trump created a position in his administration for Musk; a position for which he was woefully unqualified. Trump named it the “Department of Government Efficiency,” DOGE. What it actually was became clear immediately. It was an illegal agency whose purpose was to rid Washington of legitimate agencies which had been focused on investigating Trump’s egregious and numerous crimes between 2021 and 2024. Thousands of hard-working government employees were summa...

Trump’s Only “Economic Plan” is the Act of a Bully, not Based on Knowledge or Experience

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a very dumb man. If you don’t like my blunt words, stop reading now. By his own words and actions it is obvious that he did not earn his degree from Wharton. I have no doubt that Daddy Fred bought his diploma in the same manner he purchased deferments which prevented Trump from doing his duty and serving in Vietnam. This is why he had all of his academic records sealed in January of 2017. 99 percent of the world’s economists agree that placing outrageous tariffs on imports is moronic. However, there are two things everyone should learn about the old man defiling our White House. Trump has no idea how to administrate America’s economy. He is a serial failure in the business world, and a seven trillion-dollar budget is far beyond his comprehension. The second reason is based on his only tactic in the business world. Trump is a schoolyard bully. Tariffs are a tactic only a bully would use, not a man educated in an Ivy League business college. Trump’s tarif...

White Old Men and the Farce Which is Presidents Day

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart !3 men: only one of them was not an ‘old white man.’ That’s the number of presidents I remember. It would be 14, but I was too young to know what happened in my life when Truman was still in office. I was 10 years old and turned on the television when I came home from 4 th grade and saw lots of people waving signs with slogans “I Like Ike,” and “Four More Years,” among many others. I didn’t know what I was seeing, but I was fascinated. As I listened to one of the men broadcasting the event, I learned it was Dwight D. Eisenhower’s second convention. That day began my interest in politics. It was minimal then, but today, July 7, 2025, I feel it is my obligation to keep those who care about our country’s future informed. The truth is mostly hidden from the people by the mainstream media in collusion with Washington politicians on both sides of the aisle. By the time I was in high school, my interest in how presidents affected our nation’s future had grown. 1960 wa...

Being Pure White is Nothing to be Proud Of

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Growing up in Los Angeles in the 1950’s and 1960’s was interesting. When I was very young, I, my mother, and my younger brother lived in an area of West Los Angeles which was predominately white. It is fair to say that until I was in my junior year of high school, I was surrounded by and lived in an atmosphere of white privilege. The only time I came in contact with anyone my age who was non-white was in the local parks, and later when I joined a baseball team in a predominately Black area of Venice. I never thought about it then, but playing sports gave me the opportunity to become acquainted with different races, most of whom had a different color of skin than my own. Until my junior year in high school, 1962, and at the age of 16, I attended Catholic schools. At the end of my sophomore year, I was playing varsity basketball in a mostly Catholic summer league. I was certain to be a starting guard the following year. In late summer, I attended an event at St. B...

Trump Already Attempting to Rig Future Elections and Repeal the 22nd Amendment

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The 2016 election was rigged. The 2020 election was described “as the most fair and secure in history” by Trump’s own Election Czar. In 2024, several tech companies found reasons to believe that Putin instructed his computer hackers to gain access to the voting machines in all seven swing states, allowing Trump to accomplish the impossible: win all seven, and therefore the presidency. The odds of his winning all seven states are about 100 million to one. Today, Trump is spending your tax dollars to have his supporters build new voting machines which can be controlled by him, his puppeteer, and anyone who supports Trump’s fascist agenda. He and his Supreme Court are planning to revoke the 22 nd Amendment and allow the worst president in the history of the world to seek a third term at the ancient age of 82. Trump is a pathological liar, and very rarely tells the truth. However, during the 2016 campaign he told the truth, although he couldn’t resist spinning the ...

Trump is a Dictator Who Hates his “Basement Dwellers”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOLdFart In 2016 and 2024, Trump made many promises during his hate rallies. However, he has never kept a single one. In 2025, his focus is even more on himself and his wallet. Trump believes “what is good for him is good for the country.” From his violation of the law, using ICE as his personal gestapo, attempting genocide in America, to his failed and moronic military parade honoring his own birthday, Trump is an embarrassment to all other dictators past and present. Of course, this is what we should expect from a man with lower than average intelligence. No honest person can deny that Trump has become America’s first dictator, a Fuhrer. But this could not have happened without the assistance of a corrupt and biased Supreme Court. Proven by the absurd length of boring, self-serving speeches, Trump’s greatest pleasure is standing before his supporters and receiving undeserved adulation and loyalty. He is the living example of everyone inflicted with malignant narcissism...

Did You Think the Fact that Kamala Harris is a Woman Affected the Results of the 2024 Election?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After respected tech companies agreed with my allegation that the 2024 election was rigged by Putin, again, I no longer have a single doubt that Trump is once again an illegitimate president. I also believe that once again our government was aware that Putin would spend millions of dollars to influence the results. My question began with the “experts” claiming that Trump won all seven swing states. Impossible. The tech companies claim that Russian hackers gained access to the voting machines in all seven states. Most importantly, four years of watching Trump commit crimes could not have resulted in such extremes between the 2020 and 2024 elections. One issue has never been discussed on the internet, or as far as I know on the television news. Was sex once again an issue in the 2024 election as it was in 2016? It is no secret that the United States is the most prejudiced and bigoted country in the world of developed nations. These are the two reasons why America ...

Once Respected for Integrity, Patriotism and Protecting the Rights of all Americans: Now Corrupt and Extreme

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The second worst president in American history was illegitimate. He was chosen by a corrupt, right-wing biased Supreme Court. We will never know what the results of the 2000 election would have been if the Florida recount had been completed. George W. Bush lacked the intelligence and experience to lead our country, and proved my assumptions that he would be the worst president in history: and remained so until 2017. Bush allowed Vice-President Dick Cheney to make decisions which affected our nation’s reputation, and the future of 330 million people. The devil himself sat on his left shoulder for eight years, whispering evil and destructive thoughts in his ear. If Bush had performed his duties, 9/11 might not have happened. However, he and Cheney went on vacation, although they had been warned about a probable attack on our nation, and the result was one of the darkest days in American history. As we all know, the end result was America’s involvement in two unwin...
