Trump’s “Accomplishments” Over His First 19 Months

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As the midterm elections draw near, it’s time to rate your illegitimate president on what he has done, and what he has not done. First, the only thing he has done is to give additional tax breaks to the super-rich: his oligarchs/billionaires. That’s it. The issues he has either refused to address, or situations he made worse, are numerous. Trump destroyed the East Wing of the White House. He is building an unwanted and unnecessary ballroom. This fiasco will cost taxpayers nearly a quarter of a billion dollars if it is ever completed. During his administration, President Obama, spent about $34 million repairing the reflecting pool on the National Mall. Trump, attempting to undo another accomplishment of a real president, gave a “no bid” contract to a personal friend to make changes. It was a disaster, and remains incomplete. The cost, so far, is about $25 million. Trump’s celebration of our nation’s 250-year anniversary cost more than $150 million; most of it tax...

Will Fake Republicans Pay for Their Acts of Treason on November 3rd?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For the last 11 years, the former Republican Party, now the American Fascist Party, bowed to their Fuhrer’s unconstitutional and destructive demands. The question now is: “will they lose both the House and Senate on November 3rd?" There us no lack of speculation among the media’s politicos. History has proven that today’s Republicans in name only know nothing. All we true and loyal Americans can do is hope that those who predict a “blue wave” in November, will be rewarded for their optimism in just over five months. COWARDS ALLOWING TRUMP TO DESTROY THE FOUNDATION OF A FORMERLY RESPECTED NATION Our Founding Fathers were imperfect men who shared a perfect ideal. Their image of a great nation would begin and end with its people governing themselves. When a Democratic Republic is successful, the men and women elected by voters, would represent the wishes and needs of those who exercised their most important right to give them a position of great importance in ...

VOTE! On November 3rd, We Can Remove All Power from King Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Midterm elections are less glamorous, less exciting, than general elections. However, they have an even greater importance than ever in 2026. On November 3 rd , the American people will vote for all 435 members of the House and one-third of the Senate. Pay great attention to this singular fact. In 2020’s historical election, a vote for Joe Biden was a vote against the worst president in history, Donald John Trump. Although President Biden became a very good, very effective president, most Americans simply wanted to evict our nation’s biggest mistake. A VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN IS A VOTE FOR TRUMP The Republican Party began its demise in 1981, and completely disappeared on January 20, 2017. Every man and woman running for office under the banner of the former Grand Old Party exists for one reason, to serve their king, their Fuhrer. Free thought and any form of opposition to Trump’s evil agenda is forbidden. Today, both houses of Congress are controlled by Trump’s ...

Trump’s Country of Choice Partially Funded DJTJ’s Wedding

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A little history. Trump and first trophy wife, Ivana, met with the KGB and their rising star, Vladimir Putin, in Moscow in 1987. The couple received a formal invitation and eagerly accepted the opportunity. The second recorded meeting between Putin and Trump occurred in 2013, also in Moscow. The reason for Trump’s attendance was partially hidden by the “Miss Universe Pageant.” However, a dossier composed by former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, documented Trump’s actions. One of these was involved in the making of plans to win the U.S. presidency in 2016. This document has never been disproven, or invalidated. During Trump’s first illegitimate term, there were many phone conversations between Putin and his most valuable asset, hidden in plain sight inside of the White House, and documented for the national archives. MORE LINKS BETWEEN TRUMP AND HIS HANDLER The latter part of Trump’s 2016 campaign was funded by the late billionaire, Robert Mercer. Mercer was the...

Abortion, 1960 to 2026

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most people don’t want to talk about it. What was once a personal matter has become a major issue in American politics, mostly the result of right-wing politicians close association with the Christian Religious Right: a major violation of the First Amendment. Abortions did not begin in the latter half of the 20 th century, women had been performing them in hazardous manner long before I was born in 1946. Sometimes they received the assistance of a friend, and on rare occasions a nurse. Death from infections or exsanguination occurred frequently. Before the sexual revolution in the 1960’s, a single woman who enjoyed sexual relations equal to those of men were looked down upon. The only easily accessible form of birth control were condoms. These clumsy devices were uncomfortable for both the male and female partners. ONE LITTLE PILL CHANGED MILLIONS OF LIVES FOREVER. In May of 1960, before I began high school in September, the FDA approved the “or...

Is It a War When more than 2,000 Missiles and Other Ordnance are Used to Attack the People of a Foreign Country, or is it a “Skirmish?”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On February 28, 2026, Trump unilaterally began missile strikes against the sovereign nation of Iran, without provocation. Iran has responded with counterattacks, killing a reported 18 members of United States military personnel. Seven months later, there is no indication that Trump’s war will ever end. Trump claims that this is not a war, because if it is, he has committed another huge violation of the Constitution. The truth is, he chose to attack Iran to create a distraction from his close association with pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. Seven months later He is unable to find a way out of this mess and not be blamed for another failure in a life composed of losses and defeat. IF YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE WORST MAN IN THE WORLD, YOU WILL NOT LIKE THESE FACTS War: a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations (2): a period of such armed conflict This definition confirms another constitutional violation by America’s most pro...

Do You Believe in a God?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart At the age of 16, I became another “Catholic Church dropout.” I had left my Catholic high school because I had many questions but no answers. As I learned more about how people in less fortunate countries suffered, while their leaders enjoyed lives of luxury. I had even more questions when I learned that the poverty rate in my own country was about 21 percent. How could this be true when politicians frequently boasted that “America is the greatest and richest country in the world?” One-fifth of all Ameican citizens faced a daily struggle to simply survive. In 2026, the poverty level is about 11 percent. When added to the number of men, women, and children considered “low-income,” nearly one-third of all Americans are not included in “the richest country in the world.” The addition of families on the lower side of the middle-income population, confirms the fact that about one-half of all Americans find it difficult to maintain an acceptable quality of life. Ameri...

Why Republicans Don’t Want You to Vote

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, a few questions. Election day is a national holiday in 16 nations, why not the United States? The longest campaign season in the world, other than the U.S. is three months: why does America’s begin two years before election day? Why do Republicans suppress voting rights in an obvious effort to prevent millions of Americans from exercising their First Amendment right? Why do Republicans fear voting by mail? Why did Trump lose so badly in 2020? Each of these questions is easy to answer, but if you call yourself a Republican, you won’t want to know the truth. ONE REASON, BASED ON HISTORICAL FACT, ANSWERS EVERY QUESTION Most Americans support a progressive agenda. All developed countries are courageously moving forward into the 21 st century, with the exception of the United States. This one fact proves that one-half of our nation’s government is not aligned with the people they are elected to serve. Their personal ambitions take precedence over the rights, ...

End of Truthful Communication: The Misinformation Highway

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Inciting anger, hatred, and violence. Dividing a nation’s people. Brainwashing the uninformed. Ending intelligent conversation. Winning elections based on lies and misinformation. Foreign nations deciding the outcome of elections. The former situations are used every day around the world. Misnamed “social media:” Facebook,” “Twitter,” now known as “X,” and the most misleading of all, “Truth Social,’ are some of the tools used by desperate politicians and other despicable groups to control the minds and therefore the actions of subscribers. ALL GREAT INVENTIONS/CREATIONS ARE EVENTUALLY ABUSED AND MISUSED The telephone, the automobile, television, wireless phones, computers, the internet: these are a few of the greatest inventions of the 20 th century. However, all of them have been abused and misused. Each is a tool used every day for unintended and negative use more often than for the reasons they were created for the masses. One undeniable fact is that t...

Trickle-Down Hate Crimes

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump would like to believe that the fact he is using an economic policy which has failed the American people for the last 45 years,  added to the Greedflation problem and increased the national debt by $3.8 trillion, is acceptable. Every working-class American is struggling to survive, while his billionaires/oligarchs are stuffing money into their pockets as fast as possible. What few Americans are aware of is the fact that hate crimes against women, minorities, the LGBTQ community, and all non-Christians increased by 800 percent on the day Trump was nominated by the former Republican Party in July of 2016. This problem remains on the list of domestic terrorism today. Like trickle-down economics, Hate begins at the top and flows quickly to the bottom and the bottom feeders. Donald Trump is an open book. His lifelong affliction of malignant narcissism forces him to care for no one but himself. Therefore, anyone who disagrees with him, or challenges his belie...

In Dallas, More Lies and Attempted Bribery by the Old, Orange Buffoon

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Promises made, promises broken. “I will end inflation on day one. I will end the invasion of Ukraine on day one. With me as your president, there will be no more wars on foreign land.” These were just three of the campaign promises made by Trump in 2024. As expected, all of them have been broken. Wednesday evening, at a less than impressive rally in Dallas, Trump made two more promises, which were actually attempts to bribe American voters. MONEY IN YOUR POCKET AND LOWER GAS PRICES? How low can Trump go? I don’t think we’ve seen the worst of him yet. However, during another rambling and boring tirade, Donny Boy offered $5000,00 to voters after the midterm election if Republicans retained control of the House and Senate. He made another promise he cannot keep, claiming that his war against Iran would come to an end “immediately after the election.” There is no realistic end in sight. I cannot speak for anyone else. However, after researching and writing about Don...

The House Where Stupidity Lives

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Why does Trump hate Latinos? History explains his lack of respect for Black Americans: his father was a racist, and Donny Boy was influenced by his grandfather’s and father’s heritage. I have no doubt that many of the men and women who work inside and outside of Trump’s “billionaire’s playground,” known as Mar-a-Lago, have ancestors who originally came from a Latin American Country or Mexico. Maids, and the men who perform groundskeeping duties are undoubtedly individuals whose first language is Spanish.   It is very possible that I am looking at this situation in a very narrow manner. It’s highly probable that they are simply not pure white or wealthy. Trump’s bigotry is much larger than hatred for one race, or a single ethnicity. CHANGING NAMES DOES NOT CHANGE HISTORY OR REALITY Trump’s fetish is moronic, and makes no sense. He wants to change the name of some building, gulf, lake, or state every day. I assume that he comes up with these ideas in the middl...

Too Ignorant and Unwilling to Serve the People, Republicans May Pay for Their Sins in November

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From November 8, 2016 until today, the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” in 2026, continue to surround Donald Trump, attempting to protect him from paying for the most serious crimes any American citizen can commit. It appears that Democrats and Independents will retake control of the House, and quite possibly the Senate in November. Sometimes, you do get everything you paid for. Trump has become the right-wing’s albatross. Trump’s many, many crimes range from lying to the American people incessantly, and escalated to the ultimate and brazen act of treason on January 6, 2021. History will report his pitiful existence as a life composed entirely of crime and debauchery. WHY REPUBLICANS IN NAME ONLY SURRENDERED THEIR INTEGRITY AND MORALS TO THE WORST MAN ON EARTH When a very popular president, Barack Obama, was in his final year of his second term, Republicans were desperate to find a candidate who would excite their shrinking base of supporters, and...

DJT’s Administration of Fraud, Graft, and Corruption

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Liars, fraud, massive corruption, graft, and incompetence: these are part of the list of negative attributes which compose the Trump administration.   Recent surveys reveal one critical fact about the upcoming midterm elections: all Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike are fed up with Trump and his anti-American administration. Let me set the record straight: I consider the leaders of our military sitting on their fat derrières in the Pentagon a significant part of Trump’s fascist army. If I believed that before, I am 100 percent convinced after the firing of employees working for “Stars and Stripes.” MILITARY BRASS, LIVING LIVES OF LUXURY AND PRIVILEGE, WHILE REGULAR MILITARY PERSONNEL STRUGGLE WHEN THEY RETURN HOME Stars and Stripes began publishing its magazine in 1861. The following is its mission statement. [Core Purpose: The sole mission of Stars and Stripes is to provide first-hand reporting from bases around the world and unbiased, credible new...

The Trump Party is Facing a Conundrum

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am in a good mood today. The men and women on the right side of the aisle who call themselves “Republicans,” have a serious problem, a conundrum. If they continue to support Trump’s destructive and unconstitutional policies, they will lose the one thing most important to them: winning elections.   With his approval rating in the 20’s, Trump has become an albatross. He announced yesterday that he would be campaigning for members of his party who are in close contests in November. But they don’t want him. Trump is the most hated public figure in modern history. He’s worked hard to earn that label. FAILED POLICIES, AND VERY BAD CHOICES Trump has been following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025, since January 20, 2025. Fascism is not popular among real Americans, and his economic policy is causing enormous harm to the working class, whose quality of life is in steep decline. It is highly likely that his illegal and immoral war against Iran was the fatal ...

One Word, One Name, is All it Takes to Define Republican Incompetence

Image
Op-ed by TheWseOldFart Three elections, but only one candidate. It is obvious that right-wing politicians are unable to find a better, more qualified presidential candidate than Trump. There are 271 Republicans in the House and Senate, and not a single one of them is capable of becoming our president? Imagine that. The world knows that Trump is a fool, and a tool. He is woefully unfit to lead our nation and is proving this truth every day he remains in office. His final iota of proof was unilaterally declaring a war on Iran in a thinly veiled effort to hide his close association with Jeffrey Epstein. Apparently, Trump remains far more qualified than every other man and woman calling themselves “Republican,” who spend some of their days on Capitol Hill. IGNORE THE REMARKS OF POLITICIANS AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: ONLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MATTER Who is the worst president in history? The people have spoken. In a recent poll, not only was Trump in first place as the worst president in hist...

Your Government is Hiding the Truth: America is Heading Towards a ‘Greater Depression’

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, facts you may never see or hear on the mainstream media. The national debt is now more than 40 trillion dollars. Four trillion dollars were added during Trump’s first administration between 2017 and 2021. When he took office in 2025, the deficit was 36.2 trillion dollars. During his year and eight months, his failed economic policies added 3.8 trillion dollars to this growing debt. How did this happen? It’s all there for you to read, if you care. LOWERING TAXES FOR THE SUPER RICH: FAILURE TO PASS UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, WASTEFUL SPENDING, CORRUPTION WITHIN THE PENTAGON Trump and his corrupt party continue to give tax cuts to the super rich and large corporations. Because thousands of deductions are available in the tax code, no wealthy American pays the maximum of 37 percent: the lowest rate of any developed nation in the world. The corporate tax rate is a flat 21 percent, before deductions. In 2018, after Trump’s first round of tax cuts, Amazon and Walmart...

The Darkest of Dark Days in American History

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After the War of 1812, America has been under attack twice from villains outside the shores of our nation, and twice more by domestic terrorists. On Sunday, December 7, 1941, America’s Pacific fleet was attacked by the Japanese while our naval personnel were waking up to another glorious day in Hawaii. The following day, President Roosevelt announced America would be joining our allies in WWII. On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the leader of the terrorist group, Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden executed planned attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon, and the White House. Only the courage of passengers aboard United Airlines flight 93, saved the “people’s home,” from certain destruction. On April 12, 1861, our country’s bloodiest war began. The Civil War was fought between brothers, friends, and neighbors. The Confederacy was America’s first domestic terrorist organization. When it ended on April 9, 1865, approximately 700,000 Americans had been...
