I Think it’s Time for More Hegseth and Pentagon Bashing: They Deserve It

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s a sad fact that I was not surprised that Trump chose Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense. They are very similar. Both are white supremacists, sexual predators, and confirmed criminals. Hegseth is also a well-known alcoholic whose antics embarrassed everyone he knew. It was also important for Trump that Hegseth was a part-time personality on his personal propaganda machine, Fox News. Trump and Hegseth made a decision to attack a group of Democrats who offered advice to our military who are being forced to act like a Gestapo in our nation’s “blue” states. They made a public service announcement informing our men and women in uniform that if what they are ordered to do is a violation of federal law or the Constitution, they are not required to carry out those orders. Trump is not a confirmed fascist dictator. At least not yet. Nothing upsets Trump more than the truth. He is known to fly into rage at any moment when one of his illegal actions is exposed. Ne...

Will Six Members of the Supreme Court Uphold Trump’s Most Apparent Constitutional Violation?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart By law, the military forces of the United States are forbidden to take action in any situation involving democracy in America. This law is under attack by your illegitimate president. When a small group of Democratic legislators made a public service announcement intended to inform our military that they are lawfully obligated to ignore commands by the Commander-in-Chief which violate the law, Trump suggested that punishment by death should be considered for their Constitutional obligation to obey the Law of the Land. He mislabeled the event as an act of “sedition.” Trump knows nothing about the law, he never met one he didn’t break. Now that six corrupt members of the SCOTUS  granted him absolute immunity, our nation’s greatest criminal will do anything he desires without fear of punishment. Trump and his gang of criminals and thugs have already removed the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th from the Constitution. How many more of our rights and freedoms will...

Your Illegitimate President is Totally Out of Touch With More Than 80 Percent of All Americans

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There are many reasons why no one should have voted for Trump in either of his two rigged elections, and not a single one why they should have. There is one unspoken reason why it made no sense to allow the least qualified man in history to wear a title he never wanted: President of the United States of America. Trump was born into an atmosphere of extreme, white privilege. Not only was his family racist, they were very wealthy. Nothing has changed over the last 79 years. He has never worked for a living, or shown concern for anyone else other than himself. He has never known or cared about the struggles of the average American. He is only aware of how he and his father’s family had everything they wanted without having to work for it. In 2024, the richest man in the world, Elon Musk became his biggest supporter, financially and appearing with him at his hate rallies. Musk, like Trump, was raised into a white supremacist family, but in South Africa. They called ...

With Criminals, Always Follow the Money

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America has become the land of criminals. For the rich and powerful, laws do not exist. I am not referring to Trump: he is not the only person above the law in 21 st century America. Our country is controlled by Trump and an administration composed of criminals and anti-Americans. His 902 oligarchs have no interest in the welfare of 340 million Americans, they want more money and more power. I am more sad than angry. My younger brother and I were little boys in the 1950’s. I was born in 1946, John in 1948. We were raised by a single mother. I remain grateful that we grew up in the early age of television. This was our only source of entertainment. We watched every John Wayne “B” western, and every movie about WWII more than once. Our days in elementary school began with all of us reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. We didn’t know the word, but we were raised to be patriots. At the age of 10, I came home from school one day, turned on the black and white te...

Former Trump Attorney, Ty Cobb Offers the American People a Warning About ‘Evil Donald Trump’

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In both the 2016 and 2024 elections, lifelong Republicans not running for election, warned the American people about the dangers presented by a Trump presidency. However, Republican voters are not very smart, and believed the pathological fascist instead of those who remain loyal to Republican principles. Ex Trump Attorney, Ty Cobb, talked to MS NOW. “What does this mean for the judiciary moving forward, that the Justice Department is taking this hostile action and rhetoric?" Cobb replied, "I think that's one of the greatest threats to our democracy at this stage of the game." "Keep in mind that Trump has neutered congress. Actually, they've probably neutered themselves through their cowardice and greed, but they have, you know, ceded basically all control to the president. And he dictates everything Mike Johnson does," he added. "So I think that's tragic because the way the constitution is designed, congress not the cou...

Every Morning, I Cringe as I Turn On my Laptop

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In eight months, if I live that long, I will be an octogenarian. I grew up reading the Sunday newspaper, mostly the comics section. By the time I was in high school, I read the morning paper daily, primarily the sports section. By my junior year, one of my teachers made it a requirement to read the entire front page and more. In 2025, it is a sad fact that reading a newspaper has become obsolete for most. I don’t watch television news: none of it is entirely accurate or based on the complete truth. I turn on my computer and open numerous websites, searching for the truth about what happened on the previous day or while I was asleep. Over the last 10 years, most mainstream media agencies cover Trump more than anything or anyone else. Therefore, there is no “good news.” Most of what I read is revolting and contain attacks on the future of my beloved country. It is an irrefutable fact that every member of our federal government, all 547 men and women, knew about Pu...

The Illegitimate President who Lives Like a King

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This story sounds like a fairytale. However, there is no damsel awaiting her prince charming to take her away. Instead, there is an old, obese, schoolyard bully who is raping the treasury of the United States of America. Trump is living like a king while more than one-half of all Americans struggle to survive. Greedflation has resulted in a huge decline in the quality of life for most of our nation’s people, including yours truly. Three of the last four Republican presidents used their positions for personal pleasure, often watching television and taking long naps and longer vacations. None reached the level of waste comparable to Donald John Trump. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump averaged two trips to Mar-a-Lago each month, This continues today. When he’s not partying with his oligarchs in South Florida, he is golfing at one of his resorts, or opening a new golf course in Scotland. A few of the costs involved in a single trip to and from his billionaire’s playpen ...

Two of “W’s” Biggest Mistakes and Most Harmful Crimes

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart George W. Bush placed our nation in two unwinnable and costly wars. His lies and misleading allegations cost our nation dearly with the loss of life and nearly bankrupting our economy. His lack of oversight for Wall Street, and a failed fiscal policy of trickle-down economics, caused the Great Recession. However, a ‘knee jerk’ reaction to 9/11 resulted in two additional mistakes and crimes which continue to harm our nation today. A Republican led Congress passed bills which created the American Gestapo, known as ICE, and the Unconstitutional Patriot Act. On October 26, 2001, Bush 23 signed the Patriot Act into law. We were told that it was an effort to prevent another terrorist attack on our nation. However, it was far more nefarious. It allowed every law enforcement agency in America to detain any individual suspected of a possible act of terrorism, It also allowed these agencies to confiscate items found on their person, in their vehicles, and in their homes. ...

It’s a Very Sad Fact that Trump Can’t Read the Constitution

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have been debating with myself about one issue for 10 years. Can Trump read, or does he simply choose not to read? I have finally come to a conclusion. It’s a combination of both. Trump does know how to read, as proven by his dependence on teleprompters. However, he lacks the attention span needed to read the Presidents Daily Brief, and will never read the Constitution. I think back to the first year of his first illegitimate presidency. A meeting was scheduled between Trump and Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan. The subject was healthcare. As Ryan began to speak, Trump lumbered out of the room. Ryan could hear the television in the next room being turned on. Trump has the attention span of a feral cat. It’s a sad fact that he has never read the Constitution. If he had, he would not be wasting such a large amount of valuable time of multiple federal judges and his own stacked and corrupt Supreme Court. I would be willing to bet that the orange buffoon has no ide...

Why Pam “the Bitch” Bondi?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’m sure that most of you wondered why Trump chose Pam Bondi for the position of Attorney General. I did not. They have a history, and Bondi knows where the bodies are buried. Is she qualified? Only in Trump’s administration where no one is qualified for the positions they were given. Prior to that dark day in June, 2015, when Trump declared his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, a situation brought two criminals together for the first time. Bondi was the Attorney General for the strange state of Florida. On her desk was a file which might become a case involving fraud. Several students enrolled at Trump University claimed that there was no such school, and none of the promises offered when they enrolled and gave them their money were ever fulfilled. Trump became aware of the lawsuit. What we know is that he took $25,000 from the Trump Foundation and donated it to Bondi’s reelection campaign. Bondi filed the case in the ‘round file’...

Trump Continues to Take Bribes from Leaders of Foreign Nations

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart By my estimate, Trump has received between 600 million, and one billion dollars in bribes over just 10 months. From a 747-400 to gold bars, a gold crown, gold golf clubs, and god knows what else, he continues to use his illegitimate presidency as an opportunity to increase his personal wealth. But he never keeps his promises. There are laws to prevent this form of extreme corruption, but no one in Washington cares. What this confirms is another of many reasons for impeachment. The ‘Don’ of the Washington Mafia is increasing his bank account while the average American struggles. A couple of days ago, Trump ordered a ‘state dinner’ for one of his benefactors, who is also one of America’s greatest enemies, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman. This man has killed thousands of innocent men, women, and children in Yemen alone. However, he is most infamous for the murder of a journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. He ordered his death and had him cut into piece...

Donald Trump: Arrogant, Ignorant, Childish, Immature, Schoolyard Bully

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I just labeled Trump with multiple adjectives which are demeaning and degrading. However, because they are all based on facts: facts he, himself, offered by his own actions and speech: they are not unfair or undeserved. I cannot compete with Trump when the situation involves name-calling, although most of his are simply silly and laughable. However, anyone who disagrees with the schoolyard bully is sure to receive a “nickname.” His “nicknames” are not clever, because he is not ‘clever.’ We all remember “Crooked Hillary,” “Sleepy Joe,” and “Little Marco.” The mental health community reveals the reasons an individual feels he or she has no other recourse than name-calling to defend his or herself. [Insecurity and envy: If we don't believe we measure up to our peers, we may redirect and express this discontentment by directing it toward others in the form of hatred or animosity. In psychology, this masking of our true feelings of insecurity is known as displace...

Your Know the Story: How America Moved from the Most Respected Nation in the World to a Laughingstock

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Between the year of my birth and today, I have moved all the way from a devoted and loyal patriot to someone who despises his country as it exists today. Why?  Because today’s America is not my America: it’s Donald Trump’s dark and hate-filled nation, composed of malcontents who hate the nation of our Founding Fathers. With Trump as your illegitimate leader, the Pledge of Allegiance, the Declaration of Independence, and the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th Amendments have no meaning. Trump is not a leader, qualified, intelligent, or a patriot. He is not and never will be an American president. How has it come to be a reality that one ignorant, arrogant old, white man has destroyed America’s image? His actions have become so vile that our once revered nation will never achieve its former status as long as time exists. My America was hanging on by a thread in 2016. Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Moscow Mitch McConnell, Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News are all guil...

Who Knew the Extent of his Perversion?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From the “Access Hollywood” tapes, we learned that Donnie Trump was a sexual predator. During the 2016 campaign, Christopher Steele revealed his level of sexual deviance. Now, the Epstein files confirmed our suspicions that Trump was more depraved than we believed and is without a doubt a pedophile. The facts prove that Trump’s most ardent supporters don’t care. They share many of his personal beliefs and are willing to ignore his most grievous actions against humanity. The men and women who hate my America once again have a powerful leader defiling the people’s White House. I have known for more than 10 years that Trump is a serial philanderer, and a sexual predator. I should have known that these crimes were only a small example of the evils committed by the worst man in the world. If he never sought the presidency, we might have never known the “real Donald Trump.” Donald John Trump is not only unfit to be an American president, he cannot be included in the r...

The World’s Three Greatest Villains are United and Threatening World Peace

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Conspiracy theories are harmful and bullshit. However, facts expose the real villains in any story, and are the primary factors which eventually save mankind from the worst monsters in the world.. Earlier this year, America’s two greatest enemies met in Alaska. There was no legitimate reason for the meeting, although it was organized under the pretense of ending the invasion of Ukraine. What it was is clear: an opportunity to meet face to face and finalize their plans to take control of the entire world. Trump and his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin displayed the extent of their relationship on the tarmac. Two thirds of the men who are enemies of more than 8.2 billion people are experiencing success in their plan for world domination. This week, Trump met with the third villain who is critical for the completion of their ambitions: Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman, in the Oval Office. These three evil and heartless men have many common goals and emotions, which...

Trump’s New “Gilded Age:” More Suffering for the Working Class

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you don’t read and understand America’s history, the good and the bad, you cannot claim to be an informed citizen. The past should be our greatest teacher. If we don’t know about what came before, we are destined to make the same mistakes over and over again.. The period in America known as the “Gilded Age” occurred from about 1877 until 1900. It was a time of extreme decadence, greed, debauchery, unbridled racism, and just about any other fault weak human beings might envy. The super-rich used their wealth to buy politicians, law enforcement, and anyone else who might assist them in their efforts to increase their hidden bank accounts. It was America’s first plutocracy. Under Fuhrer Donald Trump, the United States is engaged in a second plutocracy/oligarchy: a second ‘Gilded Age.’ I admit to the fact that I didn’t realize this fact until Trump destroyed a huge portion of the people’s White House to build an edifice to himself he calls a ‘ballroom.’ Long befo...

Women Continue to be Unhappy with America

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I read an article today revealing that most women in America are unhappy. I don’t believe this is news. I was a  hairstylist  for 20 years. Most of my clients were women of all ages. As we became more than ‘patron and service provider,’ they talked to me about things which were uncomfortable within their families and even among most of their closest friends. First of all, no, I am not gay. However, most of the men who worked for me in my salon were. What I did share with my gay friends was a genuine concern for my customers in both their desires for a more appealing hairstyle, but also as people who needed to be heard. The last four words are more important than you might think. Most of the women I became close to had the same complaint: “no one really listens to me. They want to ‘fix my problem,’ when all I really wanted was to be heard.” In  1619 , the first African slaves stepped onto American...

There is no Better Example for the Demise of America than Professional Sports

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart My America, the nation I loved for most of my life, is nearing its end. Not a single agency tasked with the protection of our nation’s people and the preservation of the Constitution is willing to do the right thing and end the dictatorship of one man, the worst individual in the world, Donald John Trump. However, for once, I write an article which is not about the orange buffoon. This is the America I will always remember. As an original baby boomer, I was a typical child raised in the 1950’s and 1960’s. As a young man, my greatest loves were baseball, basketball, and football. Growing up in Los Angeles, I was very excited when I learned that the Brooklyn Dodgers were moving to my hometown. Major League Baseball was my first passion as a young man. I made it my primary goal to learn about the players who would soon become the Los Angeles Dodgers. These were the early days of television. We didn’t get to watch many of the Dodger’s games in 1958 or 1959, unless t...

Both Trump and Musk Surrendered their Lives of Luxury, Privilege, and Anonymity by Seeking Power and Importance: a Fatal Mistake

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart We all know about Trump’s private life. He enjoyed his life in New York’s privileged society. In public, he appeared to be a successful billionaire, enjoying all of its pleasures, Most importantly, only a few investigative journalists knew the extent of his sexual deviance. Few knew about his huge number of adulterous actions, sexual assaults or his surely to be confirmed, pedophilia. However, when he declared his intention to become your president in 2015, he was exposed as the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement whose life was filled with crime and debauchery. A similar situation now exists for Elon Musk. He was the richest man in the world. His primary company, Tesla, was a huge success. His involvement in America’s space program made him billions of dollars each year. He hid from us his failures, and the fact that he is a devoted Nazi. When he became involved in Trump’s 2024 campaign, we learned about the real Elon Musk. It was immediately clear that he ha...

Eliminating Government and Military Waste in 2025

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There’s always a discussion in process related to eliminating government waste and reducing America’s escalating national debt. The truth is, every member of our government is aware of changes which could be made today and save hundreds of billions of dollars every year. They simply don’t want to do the right thing. Most of the talk is nothing more than a smoke screen to hide the truth about the most corrupt, inefficient and expensive government in the world. The same is true about the Pentagon. Estimates are unforgivable. Watchdog groups claim that 50 cents out of every dollar received annually goes to waste. Let’s begin with issues familiar to every American. First, healthcare. Every man and woman sitting on the right side of the aisle opposes universal healthcare. America remains the only developed nation in the world refusing to offer free medical care for all of its 340 million people. Let’s eliminate healthcare benefits for all elected officials. Our legis...
