Stand Up, Fight: We Cannot Let the Fascists Win

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, one more time. I condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk. However, he was a fascist, and I despise his politics, his hatred for everyone who is not pure white and wealthy, and most of all his desire to overturn our government and in its place install a fascist regime with Trump as his Fuhrer, was unacceptable and was, in fact, the actions of Neo-Nazi. I also condemn anyone who supported Kirk. They could not admire his position on everything without becoming members of the American Nazi Party themselves. If the men and women who fought in WWII, the war to halt the advance of fascism, were alive today, they would be grabbing their weapons and prepare to fight another revolutionary war. Kirk had a right to his opinions, and to voice those opinions. However, he had no right to encourage his ignorant followers to overthrow our government. Sedition remains a federal crime, and so does treason. His treasonous followers are calling him an “American hero.” In truth, he ...

White House Resident Vampire, Stephen Miller, Vows to ‘End Domestic Terrorism,’ but not the Real Problem

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, it is a fact that former FBI Director, Christopher Wray, stated that Domestic Terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people. However, one of Trump’s stooges offered his own idea and definition of Domestic Terrorism. The murder of Charlie Kirk was unacceptable in my America. However, he was not a national celebrity, not a great athlete, not a legendary educator, not a longtime public servant, or a revered spiritual leader. He was another opportunist spewing his message of hatred and violence against everyone who is not pure white in America. Yeah, he’s one of those. The right-wing is desperate to misdirect the American people and their demand to learn the truth about Trump and his close friend, who just happened to be a pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. Therefore, they are attempting to portray Kirk as a hero, even a saint. Here are just two examples of the divisive rhetoric he offered his cult. Charlie Kirk, “Called Martin Luther King Jr. a “myth” and...

Things I Never Thought I’d Read in the News

Image
Fake Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’ve been ‘around’ for a long time. In 1963, I began reading newspapers, not because I wanted to, because it was an assignment to read the Los Angeles Times every day, and not just the sports section or the comics. After the first week, I began to enjoy reading the stories, informing me about what was happening in my city, my state, my country, and around the world. I trusted the writers. I assumed they were telling the truth. For the most part, they were. My teacher told us that if we read the Los Angeles Examiner, the content might be less truthful. This newspaper relied more on sensationalism than the importance of who, what, why, when, where, and how. That was then, this is, unfortunately, now. The 21 st century is often referred to as the “age of information.” The truth is, there is too much information, and the great majority of what is offered on legitimate news sources, biased publications, and, most significantly, social media, are all too often i...

It’s Time to Talk About What’s Really Happening to America

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’m an old, angry man. My anger is mostly under control, with the exception of a few ‘crazy’ minutes every day. I have reasons for my rage, but the only one that matters is what is happening to my America. As most of you know, I am an original baby boomer. I was raised in Los Angeles, California, during a time of great change. I was far too young to understand or appreciate the gravity of the situation. In a very real way, the 1950s and 1960s were a bloodless revolution against the establishment. If you weren’t alive during those times, you will never understand most of what was happening away from the television cameras. ‘They’ called us “hippies,” flower children,” and other terms meant to be derogatory. However, we wore them as badges of honor. The United States of America had become a nation controlled by capitalism. Our leaders preferred war over peace. Wars were “good business.” Unfortunately, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s successors ignored his parting...

Who Was Charlie Kirk?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The murder of Charlie Kirk was very wrong. Violence accomplishes nothing other than the procreation of more violence. Sadly, mankind lacks sufficient intelligence to learn this over thousands of years watching innocent people die for nothing. However, I will tell you the truth about the underlying causes for this tragedy, something no one in the mainstream media has the courage to stand up in front of the television cameras and 'tell it like it is.' Here it is: Charlie Kirk was not a good man. Like Trump, he lied, misrepresented the truth, created conspiracy theories, and spread the orange buffoon’s messages of anger, hatred, and revenge, while inciting violence. I offer you a few of Charlie Kirk’s “lowlights.” Said gun deaths are “unfortunately worth it” to preserve the Second Amendment. Called transgender identity a mental disease, needing “brain treatment.” Quoted scripture about homosexuality as an “abomination” deserving death. (From the Old Testame...

Even the Meekest of God’s Creatures Will Fight Back When a Bully is Allowed to Keep his Freedom

Image
I am a pacifist, although in today’s America, it’s very hard to keep vile and destructive emotions subdued. I am fully aware that violence is never the answer. No war has ever been “won,” and no disagreement is ever resolved with a fist. Leaders must lead by actions, by example. Words are simply breaths making a sound as they exit the mouth. They mean nothing. In 2025, America’s “pseudo-leader” is an old, obese, brainless, and spoiled man-child. He is nothing more than a schoolyard bully. Every word coming out of his piehole is composed of anger, hatred, and the incitement of violent actions in his name. On Thursday, while speaking in Utah, a right-wing extremist Trump supporter was murdered by a lone shooter. This heinous act is unforgivable. The truth is irrefutable and the reason for a huge increase in hate crimes and other forms of violence must be placed on the narrow shoulders of one old man who suffers from a lifelong ailment known as malignant narcissism. His name is Donald Joh...

Compassion, Understanding, Acceptance, Replaced by Anger, Hatred, and Violence

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Born in 1946, I loved growing up in my America. Unfortunately, living in Trump’s America, a man who has led a life of white privilege, filled with racism and bigotry, who is only three weeks older than me, not so much. Growing up in the 1950’s, I loved my country as. In high school, I learned that it wasn’t perfect, but I remained proud to be an American. I believed America would only get better. Things change, hopefully in a positive manner. However, nothing good has happened in our country over the last 10 years. Donald Trump’s America is dangerous, dark, and regressive. His country is a nation in which I do not want to live. At home, in school, and at church, I was taught to respect all people, and treat them with compassion, understanding, and acceptance. Trump has created a world filled with anger, hatred, and violence. This 79-year-old man must have been an angry and unhappy child. At 13 he was sent to a military boarding school only a few miles from his h...

As a Country, Imperialism is America’s Greatest Flaw

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From the time I was growing up in Los Angeles in the 1950’s, I heard the adults complain about our nation’s government “sticking its nose in the business of other countries.” I didn’t know what it meant. However, after I graduated from high school in 1964, thanks to a teacher who inspired me, and as it became apparent that our government was planning to participate in another war halfway around the world, I was very aware of our country’s greatest crime: imperialism. Here is the definition of Imperialism: “Imperialism is a policy or practice where a powerful nation extends its control and influence over foreign territories, often for economic, political, or military gain, sometimes through direct territorial acquisition and sometimes through indirect economic or cultural dominance. It can involve the establishment of colonies, the imposition of foreign rule, and the exploitation of resources and labor in the subject territories, leaving a legacy of social and ec...

Trump has Never Been, and Never Will be a Leader: Is He a Serial Killer?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This is a story the mainstream media refused to report. Remember, the owners of television “news” are all billionaires and are loyal to Trump. This article is focused on the pandemic, and how your illegitimate president failed to lead our nation in a time of crisis, which was his number one responsibility. Fact: Trump refuses to read. He assigned an aide to read the Presidents Daily Brief. In December of 2019, information contained in the PDB revealed facts about a healthcare emergency. A deadly pandemic was expected to reach America in the coming months. Healthcare professionals offered their concern that this could become a pandemic affecting the American people, threatening the lives of thousands of men, women, and children. Trump ignored the information. Why? He had no idea what action he should take to protect the American people. When the press became aware of how quickly the coronavirus was spreading across Asia and was now affecting Europe, Trump was que...

In His First 234 Days Trump Convinced Me: He Doesn’t Know How to Save Money, But He Sure Can Spend It

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Another promise and another lie. Trump created the unnecessary Department of Government Efficiency, promising that Elon Musk would reduce the national debt by more than two trillion dollars. Not only did he fail, DOGE continues to waste taxpayer money. The small amount of money saved by firing qualified and crucial government personnel has already been negated as Musk’s boy tech experts spend huge amounts of taxpayer money every day. Trump wants to build a “ballroom” in the White House. The cost estimate is $200 million. Each time he sends a group of national guard soldiers to waste their time and the Pentagon’s money, the cost surpasses $10 million. In his first 234 days, Trump has spent most of his time golfing, partying at Mar-a-Lago, and using Air Force One as his own, private aircraft, at the outrageous cost of $230 thousand per hour. Other costs include lodging for the Secret Service and members of Trump’s administration. His trip to Scotland was for perso...

A Trump Recession is Coming Fast

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When exit polls were taken on November 5, 2024, obviously uninformed voters claimed their votes for Trump were based on his “ability to improve the economic status for everyone.” I found this hilarious. When Trump was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021, America’s economy was nearing a depression, thousands of jobs had been lost after Trump failed to act early when he first learned about Covid-19, and his failed fiscal policy added eight trillion dollars to the national debt. Economists predict that by 2028, Trump’s current actions will add another 10 trillion dollars to the deficit. Today’s economic report is a warning. The American people will be facing another recession, and soon. The report covers three major categories. Consumer confidence and spending are down. The jobs report is dismal. Inflation is stagnant or in some categories, on the rise. The biggest lie Trump tells is not about the 2020 election, it’s about his business interests. Trump...

236 Years Ago, Mistakes by our Founding Fathers Helped Create the Tragic Events We Memorialize Today: 9-11-2025

Image
  At the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1789, our Founding Fathers were fully aware that mistakes had been made. Possibly their biggest mistake was assuming that their successors would rectify their errors and make the United States of America the greatest country the world had ever seen. However, God’s biggest mistake, creating mankind, is greatly flawed. The men who have ruled over us are afflicted with an innate need for great power and great wealth. Professional politicians are without a doubt the worst men and women on the planet. I will never forget what I was doing 24 years ago on this date. I was returning from my morning run in the hills near our home. As I was running up our street, I could see my wife frantically waving at me in our front yard. I assumed her actions were related to my mother who was terminally ill. She was living in Idaho. When I ended my run, my wife simply said, “you have to see this.” On the television was something unreal. It was more like...

I’m Beginning To Believe that Trump Truly Is Hitler Reincarnated

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, we all know that Trump is THE Pathological liar. I the 10 years I have been covering his antics, I have never heard a single truth come out of his piehole. Therefore, don’t be misled by his claim that placing our nation’s military forces in blue states is an effort to reduce crime. The truth is clear if you simply refuse to listen to the orange buffoon. First, he is attempting to violate the First Amendment rights of thousands of patriotic Americans by preventing peaceful protests. Second, he is using our military to assist his personal Gestapo/SS in the thinly disguised effort to “ethnically cleanse our nation.” Real Americans are fighting back. Actions are being taken in every blue state to protect innocent men, women, and children from Trump’s Nazi thugs. The man in control of ICE is his Border Czar, Tom Homan. His hatred for everyone who is not pure white is undeniable. The Mayor of Boston is Michelle Wu. She declared the  Massachusetts city a “san...

I Am a True American. I Am Woke, Liberal, and Cherish my First Amendment Rights: Why Doesn’t Your President Believe in America?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am a fortunate American. Born in 1946, I experienced post-war America. Only a very small number of my readers share what I felt, saw, and heard as I was growing up in the 1950s. I remember first grade. When all of the students had taken their seats, Sister Mary told us to stand, face the American flag in the corner of the room, place our right hands over our hearts, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. This may be a bit “trite,” but it was not uncommon to feel a few tears in my eyes. I believed in the words. However, our current federal government does not. oweHH “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” The truth is, our current, illegitimate president continues to intentionally divide the people of our nation. America is no longer a Democratic Republic, it is a fascist regime. Your “president” is attempting to end “liberty a...

No Other Way to Say It: Amy Coney Barrett is Full of S**t

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Three Justices on today’s Supreme Court are performing as intended by the Constitution. They are upholding laws which are supported by the Law of the Land, and refusing to rewrite laws according to their personal beliefs. The remaining six are clearly biased and therefore corrupt. The last justice appointed to the current Court is Amy Coney Barrett. When the legendary Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, passed in October of 2020, Moscow Mitch McConnell broke his own rule, forbidding the sitting president from filling a Supreme Court vacancy during an election year. He rushed her confirmation hearings through the Senate, stacking the Court in support of right-wing extremism. Barrett was confirmed by a vote of 52-48. Every Democrat and both Independent Senators voted against her confirmation. Susan Collins was the only Republican to vote ‘nay.’ A little history and why Barrett should never have been confirmed. Barrett is a religious extremist. Her beliefs will always in...

How to Become the President of the United States

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “Anyone can become the President of the United States.” This is something I heard from the time I was in elementary school. I never believed it, until now. I offer you Trump’s path to becoming your first illegitimate president. Donald John Trump was born in New York City, New York, on June 14, 1946 into a family of ‘white privilege’ and great wealth. Other than from his cousin, Mary, there are no accounts of his childhood until the age of 13. For an unknown reason, Trump was transferred from the Kew-Forest private school to the New York Military Academy. He attended Fordham University, before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business College. There are no records related to his education. In 2017, one of his first actions was to have all of his personal records sealed. There are also no records of his relationships with his fellow students, making me ask the question: “did he attend any of his classes?” At 79 years of age, his actions and...

What Happens When a Complete Moron is in Control of America’s Health?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Another member of Trump’s corrupt and incompetent “family” who will be remembered as the worst in history: Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy’s father was a great man who would have become our nation’s 37 th President if he had not been murdered on June 6, 1968. However, his son is a science denier and a practitioner of witchcraft. His policies are opposed to the realities and practices of every medical professional in the United States. Kennedy is anti-vax. If the vaccine preventing Covid-19 had not been developed quickly, America would surely have lost many more lives than the one million caused by Donald Trump’s incompetence and apathy. [More than 1,000 current and former Health and Human Services employees penned a letter demanding Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s resignation. [The anonymous signees, who provided their names to Congress, say that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine agenda and removal of top scientists has continued to “endan...

When Bad People do Worse Things

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you do not find Trump’s actions of ethnic cleansing disgusting, you cannot call yourself an American. The America I know is filled with good people who believe in compassion, understanding, and acceptance. It is a sign of ignorance to hate someone because of their ethnicity, religious beliefs, sex, or the color of their skin. You are extremely ignorant if you believe that Trump and his fascist supporters are “good people.” If nothing else I have written over the last 10 years proves that Trump is the definition of evil, punishing innocent men, women, and children because they desire the experience of having a better quality of life is the ultimate sin. No ‘American’ president would punish good people for attempting to do the right thing for them and their families: she would find a solution. If the mainstream media and politicians had the courage to tell the truth and admit that Trump is the leader of Amer ica’s Neo-Na zi movement, his support would soon be r...

Free Agency: Why I Stopped Watching Professional Sports

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was a typical young man in 20 th century America. Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, I loved baseball, basketball, and football. A few years later, I became interested in Hockey, and I played intramural soccer in high school. I am writing this because I feel a little sorry for younger fans today. I grew up in Los Angeles. One of the greatest times in my younger years was in 1958. I was 12 years old and the Brooklyn Dodgers had moved to Los Angeles. I went to my first game the following year. In 1960, I was even more excited when the Minneapolis Lakers moved to my hometown. With these teams came two players I admired and emulated: Sandy Koufax and Jerry West. I was a pitcher on my baseball team, and a point guard on my basketball team. I loved football, but I was very ‘skinny,’ and chose not to get broken in half. My mother was unaware that I listened to the Dodger games, when I was supposed to be asleep, on my transistor radio. I began to keep score, under th...
