Sorry, not Sorry, Republicans, You Made Bad Choices and You Must Deal with the Consequences

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On January 20, 2017, every man and woman calling themselves a “Republican” surrendered their integrity, morals, their very souls, to Donald John Trump. They showered him with effusive, undeserved praise while defending his thousands of lies and his many violations of the Constitution. They reneged on their campaign promises to serve the needs and wishes of their constituents. Fascism had come to America, and its leader is wearing a cheap “rug,” has orange skin, and is an obese 80-year-old spoiled child/schoolyard bully. Trump 2.0 is 100 times worst than the first. Because of his failure to keep his three primary campaign promises, combined with reckless spending, his approval ratings are now the lowest in history, at 29 percent. A BLUE WAVE? The midterm elections will be held on November 3 rd . All 435 seats in the House will be decided, as well as one-third of the Senate. Currently, Republicans hold 219 seats, and Democrats, 214. One seat is held by an Independ...

Just Because Netanyahu is an Israeli, Does not Mean He Cannot be a Villain

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Prime Minister of Isreal, Benjamin Netanyahu, harbors a deep hatred for all Muslims His most recent actions in Gaza confirm my allegations. His murderous assault against Palestinian men, women, and children were nothing less than genocide. Netanyahu is scheduled to speak before the General Assembly on Thursday.  Although I have not read his speech as I write this, I have no doubt that he will attempt to justify his vile attacks against innocent victims of the war between the terrorist group, Hamas, and the people of Israel. Since 1948, Israel has been a “sacred cow,” protected by the United States and its allies. However, Netanyahu may have changed his nation’s status with all Muslims, and others who are aware that the only reason peace has not become a reality in the region is Netanyahu’s prejudice. I find it insane that individuals like Trump and Netanyahu can shape the future of the entire planet. REALITY Netanyahu is responsible for the deaths of mor...

How Dumb is Trump? You Tell Me

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump made another rambling,  boring speech yesterday at the United Nations. As expected, it was mostly about him. What he apparently did not understand is that the leaders of every other nation were laughing at him, not with him. When the men and women who lead other nations receive criticism from their citizens, they will likely respond with six words: “at least I’m not Donald Trump.” I am aware that Trump’s lifelong mental disease, known as malignant narcissism, prevents him from accepting reality, but with 71 percent of all Americans registering their displeasure with the orange buffoon, how can he possibly believe that his actions are acceptable? Most of those expressing their disapproval of Trump’s failed policies admit that they hate the worst man in the world. TRUMP’’S WAR AGAINST IRAN HAS BECOME ANOTHER LOSS FOR THE FAILED BRASS IN THE PENTAGON Does “Dozing Donny” actually believe that by murdering thousands of innocent Iranian citizens he can force...

Television Advertising, the Internet, and Social Media: the End of Truth and Facts

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was a child raised by television. My brother and I were raised by a single mother in the 1950’s and 60’s. I remember our first television. It was nine inches in diameter, and the picture was in black and white. There were only three channels, and the broadcasts ended at midnight, returning at six in the morning. We were a poor family and the “boob tube” was our only source of entertainment. In its beginning, broadcast television was limited and there were many restrictions. All of its programs were “family friendly,” and their content was decided by the time of day their programs were broadcast. Television news broadcasts began in 1948, and were limited to 15 minutes. In 1962, the popularity of Walter Cronkite on CBS extended its early evening broadcast to 30 minutes. Advertising was limited primarily to food products, automobiles, and cigarettes. Forbidden were ads involving alcohol, the medical profession, and services offered by the legal profession. During...

Trump is Making Plans to Complete Adolf Hitler’s Dream

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret among informed American citizens that Trump idolized Adolf Hitler. He read the Fuhrer’s speeches over and over again, dreaming about the possibilities he might achieve in his own life. In 1987, Trump and his first trophy wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow at the invitation of the KGB. Vladimir Putin was its rising star. As you might expect, there are no records of their initial meeting. However, in 2013, while attending the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, compiled a dossier revealing secret meetings between Putin and Trump. Although the truth about Putin’s confirmed interference in the 2016 Presidential Election was not revealed until the election was certified by the Electoral College, it is now a proven fact that the Russian President’s interference was a factor in the results. Other reasons were misogyny among young male voters, James Comey’s 11 th hour announcement about a new investigation into Hillary C...

The Worst Horror Story in the History of the World

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In our nation’s 250-year history, only one man will be known as the worst in our nation’s history. The damage he intentionally caused to our country’s future is irreparable and unforgivable. Trump began his endless lies with a baseless claim in 2011 that President Obama was not a natural born citizen, and was an illegitimate president. Although members of his staff claimed that he had no interest in becoming our nation’s president, after a documented meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, during the Miss Universe Pageant in 2013, Trump was ordered to seek the 2016 presidency by his handler. After he was declared the victor in a rigged election, this is what Trump has done to our nation in five years and nine months. The orange buffoon committed too many Constitutional violations to count. However, the two most egregious, both punishable by death, are treason and violating the Espionage Act. JANUARY  6, 2021 After Trump’s stacked Supreme Court gave him uncond...

Yes, This is About the Boring, Whiny, Old Bastard Defiling Our White House

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If your family is like mine, wanting to be informed about what is happening to our country every day, your day probably begins like this: someone says, “you have to see this.” You respond, “what’s the moron done now.” Trump is unpredictable because he has no idea what he is doing until he makes another stupid and destructive decision. His decisions fail to accomplishment anything of a positive nature. However, he always embarrasses himself, and causes more damage to our nation’s people. When he can’t have his way with something, he reverts to what he is, a spoiled, white, rich child, and “throws another tantrum.” This is typical for anyone who was raised without taking responsibility for his or her own actions or inaction. DJT uses his military like a toddler sitting on his bedroom floor, deciding which toy to play with, or destroy next. AS WE GROW OLDER, SOME PEOPLE BECOME CHILDREN AGAIN Trump is a very old man. He became an octogenarian on June 14, 2026. Altho...

Why is Trump Obsessed with AI?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump, your illegitimate president, is a science denier. He refuses to accept the fact that climate change is caused by man’s overuse of fossil fuels. He is also in denial about the use of solar energy and wind. The latter is based on enormous campaign contributions from the petroleum industry. He has a new obsession: artificial intelligence. Intelligence is unfamiliar to the orange buffoon. Trump is a poorly educated man who did not earn his degree from Wharton. He wants to allow his billionare supporters to ecome even more wealthy, although the scientists who created the technology are expressing their concern about the danger it poses to all life on earth. A “KNOW NOTHING PRESIDENT,” AND HIS “DO NOTHING CONGRESS" Trump is a complete failure. His pitiful 80 years on earth have failed to produce a single accomplishment for anyone but himself. Although he knows nothing about AI: how it works or what it is capable of doing in the future: he thinks it ...

Trump is So Dumb, He’s Hilarious

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Because the truth, based on real facts and not “alternative facts,” is Trump’s greatest fear and greatest enemy, his announcement on Friday was absolutely hilarious.   Trump supports fake news, including Fox, Newsmax, and America One. He despises real journalists and the fact that they tell the truth. Therefore, he decided to ban msnow, cnn, and politico from the White House press room, or anywhere else near the People’ Why would any of their journalists want to listen to lies? WHY AM I LAUGHING? Each of Trump’s “press secretaries” has been nothing more than a paid liar.   Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham, Layleigh McEnany, and Karoline Leavitt lied so blatantly that Saturday Night Live created skits/parodies focused on their arrogance and efforts to protect the worst president in history, regardless of how obvious the truth might have been. To ban legitimate journalists from these fallacious “press briefings” is...

To my Fellow Nevadans: Lombardo is Trump’s Brother from a Surrogate Mother

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I live in Northern Nevada. On November 3 rd , our state’s people will choose the man who will lead our state for the next four years. The governor’s race is between Republican Incumbent Joe Lombardo, and current Attorney General, Aaron Ford, a Democrat. Lombardo revealed himself as a tool for our state’s super-rich over the last four years. His campaign tactics involve lies, paid for by his wealthy supporters. Expensive and professionally constructed ads claim that his efforts have improved our educational system, made healthcare more efficient and less expensive, and reduced housing costs for one of the west’s poorest states.. Meanwhile, Lombardo continues to make false allegations about his opponent, Mr. Ford. If this sounds familiar, it is. Lombardo is another Trump sycophant. THE TRUTH IS LOMBARDO’S GREATEST FEAR AND HIS ONLY ENEMY A little about my home. Nevada is our nation’s fifth largest state, geographically. However, its entire popu...

After 250 Years, the Worst, Most Corrupt Congress in History

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Michael Johnson is by far the worst Speaker of the House in our nation’s 250-year history. Records prove that the 119 th Congress is the most incompetent and corrupt in American history. Yesterday, facing votes on issues exposing Trump’s incompetence, he gave his minions an early recess. They will not reconvene until the midterm elections are completed. One of the issues unresolved was the impeachment of the historically worst Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. The articles of impeachment were filed by Republican Thomas Massie, Representative from Kentucky. Trump was afraid of the outcome of the process and demanded the recess to prevent a vote. Politics as usual under a Trump presidency. “DO NOTHING” IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT Throughout our nation’s history, several Congresses have been labeled “do nothing.” However, none compare to Trump’s party and their control over both houses. Not a single positive bill which would have benefitted our nation’s people has been...

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, ...
