Four Adolescents Born into White Privilege Who Never Became Men

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Who and what does it mean to be a “man?” 70-80 years ago, the man who helped raise me, my maternal grandfather, taught me by words and example what I should strive to be when I was “all grown up.” First and foremost, I must always do the right thing, regardless of the consequences. Second was to respect all living things. And third, trust those who have earned your trust: these men and women will become your friends for life. There were many more throughout my formative years, but these three have been included in all of my decisions and the actions resulting from those decisions. WHAT MUST HAPPEN WHEN THE MEN AND WOMEN WE ELECT BECOME INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT, AND OUR ENEMIES The Trump administration is composed of incompetents who use their positions to increase their personal and outrageous wealth. Not a single man or woman supporting Trump has any interest in the quality of life for most Americans. These facts offer undeniable proof that Trump and his Klan must ...

Trump and his Cronies Want to be Putin, However Unlike Trump and his Klan, Putin is Intelligent

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s “best negotiators,” son-in-law Jared Kushne r, and Steve Witkoff, were sent to Abu Dabi to engage in “negotiations” with Russian agents to find a solution to ending the invasion of Ukraine. It didn’t go well. The title of the article I read on “The Hill,” says it all. “Trump’s Yalta: Witkoff and Kushner get played yet again in Abu Dhabi.” TRUMP SENT “TWEEDLEDUM” AND “TWEEDLEDEE” TO END A NEARLY FIVE-YEAR-OLD MILITARY CONFLICT? The phrase, “what was he thinking,” does not apply to Donald J. Trump. He doesn’t use his brain often, and when he does, the outcome is always destructive and laughable. His choices to take part in discussions with Russia were foolhardy to say the least. Diplomacy is not a natural ability. Years of experience are required when important issues which affect the entire world. It is truly an art which is not easily accomplished and only a few men and women in the world can be known as “accomplished.” Neither Kushner nor Witkoff are kn...

I do not Know what Elon Musk is, but he is not an American

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I can call Elon Musk names, put labels on the billionaire, and make jokes about his awkward physical actions, but only one fact matters: Musk is not an American. His loyalty will never be to the American people. When living in South Africa, he and his family supported apartheid. It is not unusual to see him give the Nazi salute to Trump’s cult. When Nelson Mandella became South Africa’s leader, Musk escaped to America where the taxes on the super-rich were easier to avoid. MUSK PAID FOR TRUMP’S ILLEGITIMAT ELECTION IN 2024 AND SCREWED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE Musk is a talented engineer, and that’s where his abilities begin and end. He uses his vast wealth for evil, never for good. In 2024, he abandoned his two lucrative businesses, Tesla and Space X, to help Trump win a second illegitimate election. This year, he attempted to buy the midterm elections and failed. Musk’s list of failures is growing faster than his successes. Ukraine was invaded by Russia in February ...

I Must Be Dreaming: A Black Senator in Mississippi?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I live in Northern Nevada. In the mid-twentieth century, Reno was known as the “Mississippi of the West.” After living here for 40 years, I completely understand. On November 3 rd , my fellow residents in Nevada’s second district, elected a fraud, a criminal, and the worst man on our state’s ballot was elected to the House of Representatives. You will hear his name again: David Flippo. However, the more populous cities in Southern Nevada helped Aaron Ford defeat Trump sycophant, Joe Lombardo. Nevada will have a Democratic Governor. SCOTT COLOM DEFEATS TRUMP CRONIE, CINDY HYDE-SMITH The contest for Senator in Mississippi was so close, it was not decided until yesterday, November 11, eight days after election day. Although most members of the mainstream media called the results of the election a “blue wave,” they were inaccurate. At the least, the fact that a Black Democrat was elected to represent Mississippi in the Senate would require the term, “blue tsunami.” ...

Failures who Must be Removed from Washington

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The recent midterm election was a victory for the American people; this is an irrefutable fact. However, it was also a clear warning to both political parties that we, the people, are no longer willing to be ignored by our federal government. The policy of “profits before people” must end immediately. On November 3, the mainstream media focused on the historical rejection of Trump and the Trump Party. There is no doubt that Trump, J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, Robert Kennedy Jr., and the entire Trump administration were sent a clear message. We will no longer accept their fascist agenda, their corruption, graft and fraudulent actions, and the fact that only the super-rich and pure white American citizens are considered important, and worthy of living the life of an American citizen. A clear message was sent to the leaders of the Democratic Party. COWARDICE, INACTION, INCOMPETENCE, AND THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE MAJORITY OF O...

“It’s a Low Down, Dirty Shame”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Today is Veterans Day. Originally called “Armistice Day,” making the day WWI came to an end. On June 1, 1954, it was renamed Veterans Day to honor our military personnel who served in all wars. I was born in July of 1946, the product of a Father who volunteered to serve in the United States Navy, and a mother who left her home in Idaho to work for Boeing Aircraft during the second World War. It has become an honor and a privilege for every sitting president to place a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery on November 11. I have my doubts that this ceremony should happen today. It is a low down, dirty shame that a draft dodger who called our fallen men and women “suckers” and “losers,” asking “what was in it for them,” to have such an honor.   On Monday, a new statue appeared on the National Mall. It is called “The Foot Soldier,” It is a satire depicting Donald Trump in a sitting position attending to the “bone spurs” on his feet. Tr...

Will the Unconstitutional Electoral College Become Nothing but a Bad Memory, and Will Every Vote Finally Count?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As the final votes are counted in states where the results of the 2026 election are “too close to call,” there is a distinct possibility that the majority of our nation’s states will be controlled by Democrats after January 3, 2027. I have been wiring for more than a decade, claiming that one or the most important factors needed to save the very existence of America is to end the Electoral College. However, if the experts are correct, the division within our nation known as “red and blue states” may suddenly disappear. A LAST MINUTE CAPITULATION WITHIN THE FIRST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS CREATED THE DIVISION WITHIN OUR NATION TODAY History reveals that although our Founding Fathers original intention was to ensure that the people chose the man who would lead them every four years, states with smaller populations claimed that they would have a lesser voice. in the general elections.  Therefore, the Electoral College was created. Each state would have electors repr...

To Little Petey Hegseth: When You’re Terrible At Your Job, You Get Fired: Get Over It

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Today, November 10, 2026, the House is expected to vote on the Impeachment of Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. If this process was conducted after January 3, 2027, it would be a slam dunk. However, with the Trump Party still in control of the House, I have doubts. However, Little Petey must go. He has abused his powers consistently, and his decisions pose a great danger to the safety and future of the United States of America. Like his boss, he is mad with power. ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT INTRODUCED BY REPUBLICAN THOMAS MASSIE Hegseth’s response after the Articles of Impeachment were introduced by a fellow Republican, Thomas Massie. “They answered the call, they executed, they won,” Hegseth said of the troops fighting in Iran, a conflict that has not been won and has only cost Americans billions in inflated prices and left the United States looking feckless and weak. “And on the eve of Veterans Day, these resolutions tell every one of them that their service wa...

Greedflation, the Second Civil War, and Taking Back America

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On November 3, 2026, the American people succeeded in their efforts to win the Second Civil War. However, an entire group of Americans, focused on the demise of democracy in our nation, committed an act of cowardice, pretending that they had no involvement in efforts to end the nation of our Founding Fathers and put into power a fascist regime with Trump as its Fuhrer. Nothing offers more proof that our nation’s billionaires are enemies of the people than one irrefutable fact. Prior to the 2020 pandemic the United States had 614 billionaires, Today, November 9, 2026, there are 989 oligarchs who have complete control over the Trump administration. The super-rich benefit from the suffering of all working-class Americans, and have for decades. BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION IN 2024, YOU AND I WERE SUFFERING FROM A PROBLEM ACCURATELY CALLED “GREEDFLATION” Fact: Inflation results when three situations exist. [1. Demand-Pull Inflation  What it is: Occurs when the ove...

If I Am Totally Truthful, and I Always Am¸ No One Knows What Will Happen After the Historical Midterm Elections

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Everyone in Washington is pretending that our government will continue to function normally. Republicans are pissing their pants, while Democrats are acting as if this was a victory for their party. I see it differently. I am one of millions of Americans who have no faith in our government, Republicans and Democrats alike. I don’t trust anyone who has the power to control my life. Incompetence and corruption have consumed those who serve in all three branches of our government for at least 10 years. The men and women who worked hard to win their elections on November 3 rd were not only protesting Trump’s fascist agenda, but how our entire government has failed to place us, the people, ahead of their own agendas and the profits of corporations and the super-rich. Not all of these newcomers are Democrats. Some are Democratic Socialists, others are more extreme, and a few support the beliefs of the O. G. like Chuck Schumer and others who have held office for far t...

It Took 250 Years for Americans to Unite in Peacetime

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The United States of America is the most diverse nation in the world by design. We are a nation of immigrants, and every true American should be proud of this fact. However, your illegitimate president hates immigrants, unless they are pure white and wealthy. It is easy to understand why our nation is less “united” when times are good and peace reigns over us. We have different traditions, customs, and different views. This, too is very “American” However, when our nation is under attack, we join as one to defeat a common enemy. THE 2026 ELECTION CHANGED AMERICA FOREVER; I HOPE In 1981, the Republican Party, one of our two major parties, began to separate itself from the principles of our system known as a “Democratic Republic.” Ronald Reagan forbade his subjects to deliberate and eventually compromise with their counterparts across the aisle. This unwritten rule existed until last Tuesday. Forward thinking men and women, composed of a diverse collection of patr...

As a President, Trump has Become a Eunuch

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If Democrats have the courage to do the right thing, Trump will have little power over his final two years. He is a “lame duck” president, but refuses to face reality. Evil can only be destroyed by the efforts of good men and women, and this must become Trump’s fate. The old mentally challenged man pretending to be your president is an impotent shell who never attained manhood should resign. However, Trump does not love his country, who never has and never will do the right thing. He cares about Donold Trump and no one else. OF NO VALUE TO ANYONE As your illegitimate president, Trump can be compared to a eunuch. He has no balls and therefore of no value to anyone for any reason. He is a very old man-child who knows nothing, does nothing, and is an impediment to the future of America. The ultimate result of the 2026 election is the end of Trumpenstein, the destructive creature who attempted to destroy the very existence pf our nation. For ten, very long years one...

Democrats Have Many Choices To Make: What Comes First?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Impeaching Donald Trump, defunding ICE, restoring funding for the Affordable Care Act, repealing Trump’s tax breaks for the super-rich, investigations into nearly every member of the Trump administration, defunding Trump’s war against Iran, passing a reasonable minimum wage for all Americas: these are just a few of the issues facing the Democratic dominated Congress when they are sworn in on January 3 rd . If Chuck Schumer and other members of the “O G” are allowed to control our nation’s future, whatever happens will lack urgency and courage. If Democrats accept what really happened on November 3 rd , whatever comes first will make a statement: “we are serious about our nation’s future.” STOP LISTENING TO THE BULLSHIT FROM THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA The Democratic Party is taking credit for the historic events which happened last Tuesday. The facts prove that it had little to do with efforts by the Old Guard. Every man and women who won seats in the House, the Senate...

Susie Wiles Replaced by Stephen “Little Adolf” Miller?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When Susie Wiles resigned as his third Chief of Staff, Trump decided that the job should be given to a real man. He couldn’t find one in the West Wing, so he tagged Stephen Miller to do the job. He is aware that “Little Adolf” is more than willing to help him accomplish some of his fascist agenda over his last two years. I have no doubt that instead of the latest “pin-up” girl, Miller had a life-size poster of Adolf Hitler in full dress uniform, with his right arm raised in salute to his Nazi army on the ceiling above his teenage bed. TRUMP’S TRUE AGENDA When Trump won a second “rigged election,” he did not end Greedflation, put an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or keep any other election promise. Trump first and most obvious choice was to begin attempts to remove all non-whites from American soil. He falsely called this policy, “immigration reform.” However, the truth is simple: Trump began his own version of “ethnic cleansing.” THE SECOND CIVI...

As the Infighting Continues, No One is Willing to Accept Blame, as Expected

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One thing I and every other political writer agreed about is that when Trump and his cowardly and hypocritical party lost the midterm elections, all fake Republicans would expose themselves for what they are, and what they are not. Over the last 10 years, every man and woman holding or seeking political office on the right side of the aisle, revealed the fact that they refused to do the right thing. Their only purpose was to protect their Fuhrer by any means, including lies, conspiracy theories, and vicious attacks on patriotic men and women on the left side of the aisle. One entire political party violated their oaths of office, refusing to “preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Trump is America’s greatest enemy who is guilty of treason and abusing powers granted by the Constitution. NOVEMBER 3 RD VIRTUALLY ENDED THE SECOND CIVIL WAR No one can deny that America was engaged in a...

Trump Actually Thinks He Can Preserve his Brothel Waiting Room

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This is going to be fun. Although we all suffer through Trump’s escalating mental decline, which includes his need to construct monuments to himself, including an unnecessary and costly ballroom, and a “triumphal arch,” the only thing which cannot be undone is his destruction of a large section of our White House. However, nothing will stop the orange buffoon from embarrassing himself, and preserving his dark and destructive legacy. TRUMP ATTEMPTS TO SAVE HIS MOST PRECIOUS MEMORIES Trump revealed how he spent most of his teenage years. His effort to reform the “people’s house” can be undone, including the Oval Office, which now resembles the waiting room of a brothel. Trump’s lake of basic knowledge and intelligence is very disturbing. He signed a proclamation he believes will protect his juvenile memories. [The action invokes the 1906 Antiquities Act, which protects historic or scientific resources on federal lands He also responded to Hilla...

First Good News Since November 5, 2024

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you read my rants regularly, you might think that my articles are most negative and I enjoy writing them. Because I write the truth, I admit that my emotions border on the darker side of life. You would be correct. Politics is the most disgusting profession on earth, and I have no faith in what happens in our nation’s capital. I had begun to hate reading the news every morning: There was not a single inspiring story on any site. However, on Tuesday night, I was reborn. A NEW DAY, HOPE RETURNS, AND I ONCEE AGAIN BELIEVE THAT AMERICA MAY SOMEDAY BECOME THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD I am an “old fart.” Like many other octogenarians, I have an occasion when I fear that the generations I preceded have little interest in what happens to themselves in the near future, and their children, and grandchildren after they lose their earthly bonds. However, today I know that our country’s future is in good hands. MOST OF WHAT IS MISSING IN AMERICA TODAY IS A GOOD THING ...

America Will Live On: Thank You

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Two years ago, I feared America was taking its final breaths. For me, I will think of November 3, 2026 as “salvation day.” Not only did a band of hardworking Americans save our country, they removed the pessimistic attitude yours truly had fallen into. Although the leaders of the Democratic Party and their mainstream media supporters are calling this a “blue wave” and other words claiming a massive victory, it is not theirs to enjoy. This was an “American Tornado.” Naysayers within the “old guard” of the Democratic Party actually denounced several of the men and women who raised their arms in victory Tuesday evening. Make no mistake about this historical and “nation-changing” event. The credit belongs to the candidates who worked hard, believing in what they were fighting for, and having faith in their fellow Americans to do the right thing and return our nation to all true Americans. I MUST GIVE CREDT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE I would be remiss if I did not...

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WIN!!!

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On this day, November 4, 2026, the sun will shine brighter, the sky will be bluer, the flowers will smell sweeter, and hope has replaced despair. The American people used their power and brought real change to the United States of America. Yesterday, there were no “blue” states, no “red” states, there was only the United States. Yesterday there was no “blue wave,” or a “ blue tsunami,” there was a red, white, and blue tornado. Our nation’s people dethroned a wannabe king and along with him his fascist and destructive efforts to end America. I had lost some of my pride in this nation, its people, but it has returned and grows stronger with every breath I take. WE, THE PEOPLE, OFFERED IRREFUTABLE PROOF THAT WE ARE NOT DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS: WE ARE AMERICANS The concept of “red and blue states” is directly attributable to the existence of the Electoral College, which allows the states, not the people to choose our presidents. Yesterday, every vote counted and th...
