What the Aftermath of a Blue Wave Might Look Like

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If there is a “blue wave” on November 3 rd , the cowards and hypocrites on the right side of the aisle will be pointing their fingers at each other, and definitely straight at Donald Trump. Trump never accepts responsibility for anything, “I never did anything wrong,” so I was not surprised when he took a preemptive attack on members of his corrupt and fascist party. “If we don’t win the midterms, they’re going to blame me,” President Donald Trump mused at a Tennessee rally this past Saturday. “And if we do win them, I will get no credit whatsoever.” THIS ENTIRE FARCE BEGAN ON ONE OF THE DARKEST DAYS IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY January 6, 2021, the day a sitting president committed treason as he and his Nazi Army attempted to overthrow the results of the presidential election, will forever be remembered as the darkest day in American history. However, if our corrupt and cowardly government had refused to accept the results of the November 8, 2016 rig...

Can the World Survive a Second Effort by a Fascist Focused on World Domination?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Undeniable facts prove that Trump is the leader of the world’s Neo-Nazi effort to control all life on the planet, and eliminate democracy and the establishment of a fascist regime in America. His mental state is so damaged and warped, he actually believes that he is the king of the world: omnipotent and feared by all other nations and their leaders. THE IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TRUMP AND TWO OF HIS IDOLS Trump is lacking the most important quality possessed by Hitler and Putin: intelligence. Although he falsely claims that “he knows more than anyone else in the world about everything,” and that he has a very big brain,” his actions and words prove otherwise. If he knew everything, why would he suggest that drinking bleach would have killed the Covid-19 virus, or display an overwhelming level of competence when he attempts to speak in front of others. The latter has always surprised me. No man or woman who attended an Ivy League college o university who I ha...

Trump Has Finally Accomplished Something in His Wasted 80 Years, He is the Lowest Rated and Most Hated President in History

Image
Trump Has Finally Accomplished Something in His Wasted 80 Years, He is the Lowest Rated and Most Hated President in History   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump claims that he is campaigning for Republican candidates who are facing defeat on November 3 rd . The truth is, he is attempting to soothe his fragile ego. It’s not working. Heckled in Texas, jeered at a football game in Knoxville, Tennessee, and standing before a half empty venue in Ohio on Monday evening would convince a normal man that he has earned the lowest approval ratings in history, in some polls below 30 percent, and face reality: he is the most hated man in the world. Trump has become an albatross for Republican candidates. He and his fascist party deserve everything bad which happens to them. They made lives more difficult for most Americans for the last 10 years. It’s time for the orange buffoon and his minions to slide back into the slime at the bottom of a cesspool. BEYOND INCOMPETENCE AND DISPLAYS OF APATHY TOWARD...

Is the Death Penalty Justified if a Single Innocent Man or Woman is Executed and Later Proven Innocent?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When a man or woman is executed for their crimes, it’s permanent. If one individual is put to death, and later exonerated, this is sufficient proof that executions should not be used by any nation claiming that all lives matter. The same people who support the death penalty, baselessly claiming that it is a deterrent for serious crime, are the same individuals who believe that “wars can be won.” "Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.” George Carlin TRUMP AND HIS BROTHER IN ACTION AND SPIRIT, PETE HEGSETH, PLAN TO STAGE A PUBLIC EXECUTION BY FIRING SQUAD It is an irrefutable fact that Trump is intentionally moving our nation backwards. Are you willing to allow violent action which has not been legally conducted for nearly a century to return, adding to the proof that America has become the most violent nation in the world? Trump and the worst Secretary of Defense in 250 years, Pete Hegseth, are considering a public execution by firing squad for ...

Are You Interested in a “Documentary” About a Rich Neo-Nazi?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Elon Musk moved to the United States, he was a citizen of South Africa, not only was he a supporter of Apartheid, he was a member of his country’s Neo-Nazi movement. After a second rigged election by Trump and Putin, we watched Musk offer a Nazi salute to Trump’s supporters. After given the title of Director of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk openly displayed his fascist beliefs. It is a fact that he is a talented engineer, but that is where his talents begin and end. He failed to reduce the deficit by two trillion dollars, while removing employees in Washington who actually perform the jobs for which they were hired. FIRST “MELANIA,” AND NOW “MUSK?” In acts of deference and fealty to Trump, Amazon Founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos, wasted millions of dollars creating a documentary about Trump’s 3 rd trophy wife. It was both boring, and void of a single accomplishment or anything of interest. Nobody watched the debacle. Now, it’s time for Musk to...

How Do We Know If Our Government Is Corrupt And Incompetent?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “All governments are bad, some are just worse than others.” This quote originated from Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights. But its content was first espoused when our country was born. Thomas Paine (1776): In his foundational pamphlet Common Sense, Paine famously laid the philosophical groundwork for this sentiment by writing, "Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one..." Unfortunately, America’s federal government proves both men’s observations and allegations. Those who serve in Washington today are moving our nation backwards into the times when racism, bigotry, hatred, anger, and violence were acceptable and human rights and equality for all did not exist. I believe that incompetent governments fail to solve serious problems when the solutions are obvious, easily solved, and yet ignored because they are of no value to t...

Is America Worth Saving?

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am 80 years old; three weeks younger than your illegitimate president. In my experience, not only has America become the most obese nation in the world, it is also the laziest. I’m not sure that the majority of our nation’s people care about their future or the future of their country. After President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, handicapped parking spaces began to appear in public parking lots as quickly as possible. I praise President Bush for his action and the wisdom of Congress. However, with every good idea comes with it people who abuse the law. Many of the men and women using those spaces were clearly in possession of all of their physical abilities and chose not to walk from spaces farther away from the business they were patronizing. Unfortunately, I am totally disabled today. I cannot stand or walk without a wheelchair, or in my home, a walker. When I accompany my wife to the grocery store or oth...

The Question No One Is Asking

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I know, and I hope you know how important this election is. Because Trump’s party refuses to do the right thing and remove the orange buffoon from the White House by invoking the 25 th Amendment, we, true Americans, can remove his power on November 3rd. If Democrats and Independents regain control of the House and Senate, sanity will return to Washington. Trump is on his desperation tour, focused primarily on supporting his sycophants in red states. There have been empty seats everywhere, and in Texas your illegitimate president was heckled constantly. This brings me to one, important question: “do Trump’s ‘people’ care about this election?” It seems that Trump’s cult is losing its interest in the leader of our nation’s Neo-Nazi movement. 2020 WAS HISTORICAL: WILL 2026 EXPERIENCE A RECORD TURNOUT? Midterm elections usually record a lower voter turnout than general elections. This is somewhat understandable; we are not choosing a president. However, all 435 seat...

If You Fear Cops, Have Doubts About America’s Justice System, and Feel Helpless, You Are Not Alone

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A fact and a serious problem rarely discussed in America is our nation’s entire justice system. At best, a grade of C- is appropriate.  Some of these problems did not exist 70-80 years ago. However, when politics gets involved, the worst always happens. This is America in the 21 st century. WHAT AN ORIGINAL BABY BOOMER EXPERIENCED I am an original baby boomer, born in the summer of 1946. Although I was born in Idaho, my home, the place where I was raised, was in West Los Angeles, California. Where I grew up, most of the people living around me were white. I think my youth like the cover on the Saturday Evening Post. Each issue had a print of a Norman Rockwell painting displaying the most pleasant situations and occasions in our nation’s history. The one which made the greatest impression on me was a single policeman, in his blue uniform, handing an ice cream cone to a boy. I believed this was an accurate depiction of the relationship between law enfo...

Once a Paid Fox Liar, Always a Paid Fox Liar

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On old name, and the same story. Megyn Kelly was hired and trained by the propaganda machine calling itself “Fox News” in 2004. Without an iota of concern about the truth, she lied for her bosses until 2017. She chose to leave when Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, and others became parties in the “Me Too” movement. She attempted to be a legitimate journalist and was hired by NBC. Her attempt to be credible and gain the public’s trust and respect failed. Once a paid liar, always a paid liar. CORNELL UNIVERSITY IN THE NEWS. Now forced to fade into obscurity on Sirius XM, Kelly has become notorious once again. She has become involved in the Cornell University’s controversial rape case. Kelly offered one threat which violates every ethical discussion involving the rights and privacy of suspected victims of sexual assault including rape. Kelly issued the following statement. Speaking about the victim: "If her identity is revealed, I am going to name her. I am not OK ...

Mar-a-Lago: a Far More Logical Target

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is so desperate, so afraid that he is about to lose all of his unconstitutional powers, granted him by six corrupt and biased Supreme Court Justices, he is resorting to even more ludicrous and ugly efforts. Lies are standard operating procedure for the orange buffoon, but calling Democrats and Independents “communists?” It may surprise the dumbest and most poorly educated man in America, but most Americans understand that communism is an extreme level of socialism, and always ruled by a ruthless dictator. All the working class is asking for is leaders who will include the majority in consideration when our nation’s economy flourishes. A large number now favor a form of “Democratic Socialism.” However, Trump’s preference is fascism, and wants to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler, his personal hero. Only the super-rich are allowed to live the “American dream.” The American people, the majority, also known as the “working class, are fed up with the fact th...

How “Republican” Became a Synonym for “Liar”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you claim to be a Republican, and your lips are moving, you are lying. But, I’m being redundant. I turned 21 in 1967. The first election in which I could participate was in 1968. Tough year. I have less than a handful of “heroes.” One of them was murdered in April of 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, and the brother of another, John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, was murdered in Los Angeles in June. He would have received my first vote. The winner of the 1968 election was Richard M. Nixon, He resigned in 1974, replaced by V.P. Gerald Ford. Democrat and Governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter, became America’s 39 th President. In 1980, a former actor and Governor of California, Ronald Reagan won the election, running as a Republican. Nixon was the last, true Republican. He was also an excellent president with many accomplishments on the record. However, he was also a criminal. Ford was a “seat filler,” who will be only be remembered as the man who pardoned Nixon. Carter wa...

Of Course, Trump is Lying Again: AI is Already Taking Good Paying Jobs Away from the Working Class

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The fat, old, bastard is lying again. Defending his foolhardy decision not to place federal restrictions and oversight on the development of Artificial Intelligence, the orange buffoon made another false statement. He promised that AI would “create jobs like you’ve never seen before.”  Sounds very similar to promises he made about “winning” in 2016. He said: “you’ll get so tired of winning, you’ll ask me to stop.” When did “winning” become synonymous with “losing,” instead of an antonym? It appears that science fiction movies such as “The Terminator,” and “Transformers” are possible. In 2025, an estimated 200,000-300,000 good-paying jobs were lost to the advances in the development of AI. However, corporations involved in manufacturing experienced additional profits. FACTS DON’T LIE, AND YOUR ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT FEARS THE TRUTH The estimates of how much damage AI will do to the working class varies. However, what we do know is that beginning in the late 2...

Trump’s Second Family, the Saudi Royal Family, is Attempting to Save His Party from a Huge Defeat on November 3rd

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fact: without the assistance of Russian oligarchs and the Saudi Royal Family in the latter part of the 20 th century, Trump would likely be a barista at Starbucks today. Trump is the world’s biggest loser. As your illegitimate president, he has protected Russia from multiple sanctions designed to punish them for interfering in our 2016 election. Paying a debt to the Saudi Royal family, Trump approved the sale of military weapons and aircraft, and granted them access to our nation’s nuclear secrets. Today, in a “quid pro quo,” the Saudis decided to dramatically reduce the cost of crude oil which when refined becomes gasoline and diesel fuel. This is a thinly disguised effort by his friends to allow the orange buffoon to retain some pride in what is expected to be a huge loss on November 3 rd . A GIFT FROM THE SAUDIS, ELIMINATING THE FEDERAL TAX ON GASOLINE, ATTEMPTED BRIBERY, WHAT’S NEXT? The word is desperation. Every action from Trump, including his disgusting...

“It’s the Economy, Stupid”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most Americans, thanks to the failure of the mainstream media, believe that elections are about several critical issues. History proves that one issue stands high above all rhe rest, during every election in history: the economy. The average person is concerned about one thing and one thing only: the welfare of their family. When an election is on the horizon, voters pay attention to their own quality of life, and answer a decade’s old question: “are you better off than you were four years ago?” UNINFORMED VOTERS BLEW IT IN THE 2024 ELECTION Fact: President Joe Biden’s fiscal policy was the most successful since Bill Clinton’s in 1999. Our nation had problems, but the overall success of our nation’s economic future under Biden was moving forward. The truth is, the problems that remained were created by his predecessor, Donald Trump. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump added $4 trillion to the deficit, and our nation was nearing a second Great Depression. In 2026, he ha...

I Still Have Unanswered Questions but No One has the Courage to Respond With the Truth

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Why has the video of the attempt to overthrow our government on January 6, 2021 been hidden from the American people? I know the answer, but the truth will be denied by those in power. My wife and I watched all three hours of the darkest day in American history. I wanted to turn it off, but it wouldn’t go away. It became more disgusting every minute. Today, five years and nine months later, the reasons all Americans have not been allowed to see the video involves efforts to hide the truth from the voting public. This act of pure treason revealed the incompetence and apathy of our entire federal government, and our pretenders in the Pentagon. ONLY IN AMERICA No other country in the world would have allowed an insurrection to continue for three, very long hours. Our military has a single purpose, to protect and defend our country from anyone attempting to destroy its very existence. When I was sworn into the USAF, I took an oath. “ I, _____, do solemnly swear (or ...

With America’s Economy in Shambles, I Offer You a Few Solutions

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have been interested in the future of my country since the age of 10,, in 1956. I believe that I have several legitimate ideas which could save our nation from economic ruin. It won’t be easy. Trump recently increased our national debt to the unimaginable number of $40 trillion. This is what that looks like: $40,000,000,000,000.00. Definitely not “pocket change.” My ideas are inclusive: every citizen, rich or poor, black or white, Christian or non-Christian, young and old, will share in their responsibility for the existence of the United States of America and to its survival for another 250 years. TAXATION It is impossible for any democratic, socialistic, communist, or fascist nation to exist without some form of taxation. In most democratic nations, the rate of taxation varies according to income. The justification is based on the fact that laws and regulations often support the success of businesses, which in turn create jobs and increase the quality of lif...
