Trump Wanted This Shutdown, Let’s Give Him a True American Shutdown

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump ordered a government shutdown. The reason? To amass more power by weakening Democratic positions in our government. His total apathy for working-class Americans is revolting and obvious. The most disgusting fact about this current, moronic situation is that the men and women who are responsible for how fucked up our government truly is, continue to receive their paychecks while those who actually worked are struggling to pay their mortgages. If you find these government shutdowns as idiotic and reprehensible as I do, let’s make this one unforgettable. Let’s shut down the entire country for one day. Regardless of where you work, or the nature of your job, with a few exceptions, call in sick. Air traffic controllers and TSA employees are forced to work, but are not being paid. Just imagine what would happen if every one of them called in sick on the same day. Not a single airplane would be airborne, including the private jets of the super-rich. For those who...

Trump Wages ‘Nuclear War’ on the Working Class

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has never worked a full day in his pitiful and worthless life. He has no idea how difficult life can be for most Americans. The sad truth is, he doesn’t care. Friday, Trump laid off more than 4,000 federal employees. In the first weeks of his illegitimate administration, he and his former “bestie,” Elon Musk. chose to fire thousands of government employees who actually worked for a living. Because of his destructive actions, Trump is blocking the monthly jobs report, knowing that unemployment is reaching levels not seen since 2007. The truth is clear. The posted schedule for the men and women who hold positions in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our corrupt government are paid excessive amounts of money, but only perform their responsibilities for a small amount of time each year. Trump’s “work” schedule averages about three hours each day when he is in the White House. He spends hours each day watching television where, according to h...

In the 21st Century, No Nation Can Stand Alone, but Your Schoolyard Bully Doesn’t Understand International Economics

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After the Great Depression began in 1929, Hoover and his administration attempted to restore America’s economy by placing tariffs on imports. This only exacerbated the situation. However, Trump is a schoolyard bully and doesn’t read or understand the lessons offered by history. The truth is, free trade agreements stimulate the world’s economies. Trump doesn’t care about any other country, or the fact that in the 21 st century, no nation can stand alone. America’s economy is dependent upon consumerism. His choice to place excessive tariffs on every nation, including our allies, is founded in a mixture of arrogance and ignorance. He believes that he can bully other nations, and force them to obey his demands. This is what happens when a lifelong failure is chosen to lead a nation of 340 million people. Remember what Trump did to America’s economy between 2017 and 2021. When he was evicted from the White House, our nation was nearing a second Great Depression, and...

One Wish, Before I Die

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Beginning in June of 2015, not a single day has passed without the name “Trump” appearing in every legitimate and illegitimate news service, or his old, ugly face appearing somewhere on television and the internet. He and I are the same age, and I have a reason to outlive the old bastard. I want to live long enough to read the news and not see the name ‘Trump’ or his picture anywhere. I truly don’t understand. There is no legitimate reason for the least intelligent, and least accomplished old man in the world to be covered constantly by the media. He cannot put two sentences together. He slurs and rambles. Not once in his pitiful and far-too-long life has he spoken the truth or offered one idea which would be beneficial for the American people and the world. Trump is the source and the example of why America’s people have become ignorant sheep marching to the slaughterhouse. A few, recent lies and irrational thoughts from your illegitimate president. I begin wit...

Why is Trump’s Personal Gestapo an ‘Ultra-Secretive’ and Fake Law Enforcement Agency?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I pride myself on being an informed, caring, and today, a frightened American. Obviously, I despise and reject our current government. It has devolved into the most corrupt and incompetent body of governance in the world. Its leader is clearly the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. Five words repeated by every professional politician incessantly are intended to hide the growing level of corruption in all three branches of a government which are failing to perform in a manner designed and designated by our Founding Fathers. These words are “for reasons of national security.” Today, one of Trump’s “armies” is revealing the true ambitions of America’s biggest traitor, who is supported and encouraged by his handler, Russian President Vladimir Putin. If you are one of the few who refuse to watch television “news,” and take the time to read, you are fully informed and know the truth about what is happening inside the confines of what was our nation’s most cherished Whtie ...

Do not Allow Trump to Keep his Past Allegations as a Pedophile Out of the News

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein had an extremely close relationship for years. It ended at some point between 2004 and 2007. It is well-documented that they shared a passion for beautiful, young women. How young is the only issue of importance in this article and in the minds of the voting public. Trump continues his attempts to prevent the release of Epstein’s personal files. He took similar action in 2017 preventing the release of his academic records. The only logical question is, “why?” What details of Trump’s useless life are so terrible that he and his ego would be destroyed if either of these records were exposed? I will be honest. When it comes to average intelligence and common sense, Trump is a literal “dumbass.” From everything I read over the last ten years, I know that Trump never earned his degree from Wharton. His daddy, who failed to raise a good and caring young man, paid for his diploma, as he had for Donny’s deferments preventing him from ser...

With the Beginning of the End of the Grand Old Party in 1981, Came the Beginning of the End of Your Constitutional Rights

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every action has consequences. In 1981, no one paid any attention to Ronald Reagan’s seemingly unimportant demand from his own political party. The mainstream media referred to it as “party unification.” What it really meant was the beginning of fascism within our federal government, and the repeal of rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Reagan demanded unquestioned loyalty from every member of the Republican Party. Every member of the House and Senate on the right side of the aisle was required to support Reagan’s policies without dissent. Thus began the end of deliberation and compromise within the Capitol. This one action is the primary reason why our government is dysfunctional today. This unwritten rule for all right-wing politicians continued throughout the George H.W. Bush single term, the George W. Bush administration, and continues under Trump’s fascist rule. However, under Trump, his party has become extreme, openly displaying its plans to end democr...

Someone Asked Me How to Spell ‘Corruption.’ I Said ‘That’s Simple:’ SCOTUS

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Supreme Court of the United States has a single purpose as defined by the Constitution: to protect the Law of the Land. Their only job is to ensure that laws, regulations, rules, and policies made by governments at all levels comply with the intention of the Constitution. However, six members of today’s Court are rewriting laws to serve the demands of their Fuhrer: Donald John Trump. I want you to remember the names of these six traitors who are pretending to be Supreme Court justices: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Our Founding Fathers were idealists, and idealism and naivete often run hand in hand.   Not too long ago, I wrote an article which may have been controversial, but was also the absolute truth. I claimed that if there is a God, He or She made one huge mistake by creating mankind. With free thought, all the evils of humanity compete with our conscience and responsibility to do ...

If You Did not Watch All Three Hours of the Darkest Day in American History as it Happened: Shut Up

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Editing is a clever word for censorship. Therefore, if you did not watch all three hours of the attempted coup on January 6, 2021, as it happened, you do not know the truth about what was undeniably the “darkest day in American history.” Recently, I wrote about changes, and how even the slightest deviation from choosing the right path can become a choice which leads to destruction and even devastation. This is equally true for countries. My wife and I, both retired, were watching television on a Wednesday morning, January 6, 2021, when whatever was on the television screen disappeared and the words, “BREAKING NEWS,” appeared. Trump walked up to a makeshift stage and began to speak to the crowd gathered in front of it. He rambled on and on, , as always, but the core of his message was, “I won the 2020 election, and you must end the proceedings happening in the Capitol Building.” The old man had just executed an attempted coup. In the latter days of 2020, he began...

Trump’s Bully Tactics of Fear and Retribution Are a Disaster: for Him

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The mainstream media will never say these words: ‘Trump has declared war on blue and purple states.’ They are afraid of becoming targets for his anger and retribution. They are worthless. The truth: Trump doesn’t give a damn about immigration reform. He is the Fuhrer of the Neo-Nazi Party in America. Trump is attempting to “cleanse our nation of all ethnicities who are not pure white.” Hitler reincarnated is on a rampage, and the question is, “will his lieutenants attempt to assassinate the maniac, like Hitler’s closest allies?” I doubt it. If you spend your days in Washington, you are a coward, refusing to do the right thing and keep your oath to the American people. Trump’s real purpose for violating the Constitution and placing our nation’s military in blue states is to prevent a continuation of mass protests against his fascist policies. His fragile emotional state is incapable of accepting the fact that he is the most-hated man in the world. The truth is, T...

If ICE is Representative of America’s Law Enforcement Agencies Today, No one Can Be Trusted or Respected

Image
The Saga of the Drumpf Family   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You all know it, although I would never brag about it, but I am nine months away from being an octogenarian. Trump is just eight months closer to being way too old to hold any office in any government in the world. Trump’s life experience is far different from my own, and for that, I am grateful. He was born into a life of extreme white privilege and great wealth. I, too, was born into an atmosphere of white privilege, but we were poor and never knew it. However, my life’s path experienced many changes: changes which made me the man I think I am today. Trump’s life never changed. He is the same person today that he was on June 14, 1946. He never learned how to be a good and respected man. He remains a spoiled, rich, white brat who has to have everything his way. His parents really sucked at raising him. This is one of the primary reasons Trump loves his personal Gestapo, ICE. They are nothing like the men and women I knew in l...

Hey, Grumpy Trumpy, the Question is: What Have You Done for Me Lately?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Of course, my title’s question is facetious. Trump has never done anything for anyone else in his life. Afflicted with malignant narcissism, he is incapable of having normal feelings of empathy and compassion. Trump has proven one thing over his 79 pitiful and useless years on earth, he has a narcissistic personality disorder that is highly abusive. People with this personality supposedly get a sense of satisfaction from hurting others and may manipulate people or lie to gain money, acclaim, and other things they desire. Every human being asks his or herself one question, multiple times in their lives: “what if I had taken the left fork in the road instead of the right?” As a political writer, having written thousands of articles exposing the “real Donald Trump,” I look back at the 2000 election, the 2016 election and the 2024 debacle. I begin with the 2000 election. Some of you may be too young to remember the contest between Clinton’s Vice-President, Al Gore, ...

The 25 Years That Altered My Life and My Beliefs: May America R.I.P.

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I had always been a mostly positive person. I believed that most people had good intentions, and because of that single fact, the things I saw happening around me, which were harmful, dangerous, and unfair would be rectified in my lifetime. However, 25 years ago, I began to doubt my own beliefs. I was always aware that the government of the United States was composed of mostly inferior and incompetent men and women. However, I continued to believe that the system of checks and balances created by our Founding Fathers would guarantee that our government would always be relatively successful in the performance of their jobs: to serve the American people. But after the 2000 election and the debacle occurring in Florida by a totally incompetent election committee, the Supreme Court exceeded its authority and decided to award George W. Bush the presidency. I knew this was wrong, but I didn’t understand the ramifications of that one decision and how the future corrupt...

Television News Makes You Stupid: Social Media Makes You a Moron

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Not knowing something does not make you stupid. No one knows everything, although Trump lies and tells you he does. Ignorance is not normal: it’s a choice. When information is available, but you choose to believe lies and half-truths, you choose to be ignorant. But the facts cannot be denied. In America, watching television news is ignorant. The fourth estate ceased to exist once and for all on January 20, 2025. Half-truths are more dangerous than blatant lies. A story, which contains a small amount of truth, is easy for the uninformed to accept as fact. Television news is a large factor in the dumbing down of America. Only one “information source” is worse: social media. If you spend any time on social media, you will soon become a moron. 99 percent of everything on Facebook, “X” and other fake news outlets is misleading and most often completely untrue. Currently, one issue is revealing the low level of intelligence of most Americans in the 21 st century. Thi...

Your Illegitimate President Once Again Says “Fuck You” to a Federal Judge

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has been “above the law” for his entire life. Not once had he been prosecuted for his many crimes until May 30, 2024, when he was pronounced guilty on 34 counts of felonious actions. However, his Supreme Court virtually nullified his convictions, and gave him absolute immunity, preventing the continuation of additional court actions involving numerous felonies, including treason, and violating the Espionage Act. Our government, all of it, and his ignorant cult, are fueling his ego and the fascist dictator is escalating his constant abuse of power. The malignant narcissist is also experiencing dementia, and becoming a raging lunatic. So the orange buffoon completely ignored a decision by a federal judge which prevents him from spending millions of dollars of your tax money to send members of the National Guard into Portland Oregon. However, Trump is ignoring the decision of a federal judge. Not only is this a violation of the Constitution, this is an abuse ...

The Mainstream Media Doesn’t Even Bother Reporting Mass Shootings: No one Cares, Especially our Government

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The latest mass shooting occurred in Montgomery, Alabama. Two people are dead and 12 injured, five of them seriously. Since 2017, mass shootings have become a “national pastime.” There have been more injuries and deaths caused by the use of guns than from any natural disaster. I am tired of reading about these preventable situations. The NRA and their Second Amendment Claims are nothing but bullshit, and your government is too cowardly to do the right thing. Anyone who claims that the sale of military-style assault rifles, high-output magazines, and bump stocks cannot be restricted, cannot be prevented from being sold to the general public, is a lying asshole. These men and women not only accept the idea of a rising death toll in America, they promote increased sales, knowing that the NRA gun lobby will continue to fund their campaigns. The latest preventable tragedy happened in the capital city of Alabama, Montgomery, late Saturday evening. When the melee ended...

Four Evil Men: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Muhammad bin Salman, and Kim Jong-un Prove There is no God

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Two ads I frequently see on television should be unnecessary. They are asking for our help and are deserving. One is St. Jude’s Hospital, and the other is for the Humane Society. How is it possible that a newborn child begins what will probably be a short life suffering from cancer. They are the only pure humans. They have committed no sins, no crimes, and yet they face a painful and miserable short life. The same is true for our dogs and cats. They ask for almost nothing in return for an all too short life, offering us unconditional love and companionship. And, yet, some people mistreat them and even abuse them. As I watch them, I think about all the evil in the world today. Four names always come to mind. Each of them is a cruel and uncaring dictator whose only interest is in their personal pleasure. They live lives of kings while the people they are intended to serve and care for suffer and all too often struggle to survive. Knowing this, I am positive that t...

Thanks to a Corrupt and Incompetent Government, America has Become a Country That is Bat-Shit Crazy and Opposed to Freedom

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Some of you know that I am a novelist. My 10 novels are all works of fiction. However, not in my wildest dreams, or even those of the great Stephen King, could we create a story similar to what is happening to our country in the 21 st century. On December 7, 1941, the United States formally entered WWII. We joined our allies in the fight against fascism and the most evil man in modern times, Adolf Hitler. The second World War lasted until August of 1945 when America became the first and so far, only nation to use nuclear weapons against another country. Today, the United States has its own madman in complete control of our nation: Donald John Trump. Although he has not been formally anointed as the ‘Fuhrer of the United States,’ it is a fact which our government and the mainstream media will not admit to the American people. Hitler was guided by his own fascist manifesto, Mein Kampf. Trump’s manual is called Project 2025. Hitler used his “Gestapo” to kidnap Jew...

How Much Longer Will the Most Corrupt Supreme Court in History Allow Trump to Use the Constitution as Toilet Paper?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Constitution no longer exists. Trump has violated the Bill of Rights and more, and to allow him to “get away with this,” is criminal and can be labeled as treason. His super majority in the Supreme Court continues to surrender their powers to the worst man in the world. The Constitution guarantees everyone in America access to "due process." Thousands of men, women, and children, whose only 'crime’ was searching for a better quality of life, are currently being held and tortured in concentration camps across America’s red states. Nazis are thriving in 21 st century America. The Constitution forbids our government from using our military against its own people. Trump is placing the national guard and regular military forces in blue states. By the way, where was our incompetent military during the January 6 insurrection? Sitting on their fat asses, watching it on television, like the master, Donald John Trump. Trump is violating the First Amendm...

Acting Like a Typical, Modern “Republican,” Trump Hides the Truth: the Truth is His Greatest Enemy

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Since 1981, the former Republican Party consistently hides the truth about their party’s failures and “spins” facts in desperate attempts to hide the truth that their entire party is incompetent. Facts prove that our nation’s most recent history confirms that all Republicans are incapable of governing our nation. Clinton rescued the failures of Reagan and Bush 41. Obama saved our nation from the Bush 43 administration’s total incompetence. Biden saved thousands of lives with the creation of a plan to distribute the Covid-19 vaccine, and his plan to save our economy prevented a second Great Depression after the failure of Trump to take the lead in the fight against the deadly coronavirus. The first eight months of Trump’s disastrous second term reveal the greatest failure by any president in America’s 249-year history. His lack of knowledge, common sense, and experience, are destroying the very core of what made America a c...
