With Trump Defiling the White House, All of Washington is Missing Something

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Man cannot exist without humor: life is too difficult to survive without it. Regardless of your race, sex, religious affiliation or none at all, or your economic status, it is a fact that we all face more difficulties than pleasure in a lifetime. Humor in its many forms provides an escape from the harshness of our very existence. Movies, television, books, and stand-up comics provide a little respite from the challenges we face every day. In my 80 years there has been one person above all others who provided a source for comics, writers, and water-cooler chuckles: the President of the United States. THE MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE I ENCOUNTERED IN MY LIFE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR I liked “Ike,” but the first American President I remember well was John F. Kennedy. His speeches inspired young Americans to become involved in their nation’s governance, and instilled a feeling of patriotism none of our nation’s leaders accomplished since. JFK used humor to hold the att...

Republican Presidential Platform: Constitutional Violations and War Crimes

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The travesty happening in Washington today is a culmination of unconstitutional actions and crimes against humanity by the three worst presidents in history. It won’t surprise you that they all called themselves “Republicans.” A LITTLE HISTORY The dream created by our Founding Fathers centered on their belief that the people of every nation should have a voice in what happens within their government without exception. However, a true democracy would be chaotic. Therefore, they created a “Democratic Republic.” The people would elect their president and legislative branch which would support their needs and wishes. The judicial branch, the Supreme Court, would not be subject to elections, and therefore separate from the inherent evils of politics. They would be selected by the current president, confirmed by the Senate, and receive lifetime appointments: big mistake. Although the president would be the representative of one political party, when he was elected, he...

Domestic Terrorism is the Greatest Danger to our People, and Trump is the Biggest Terrorist of All

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A president has two major concerns: domestic issues and foreign relations. Trump receives and “F” for both. Trump has alienated America’s oldest friends. If there was a lower grade than “F” he would be deserving of that grade. 95 percent of all Americans are experiencing a decrease in their quality of life. Trump’s personal Gestapo, ICE, is nothing more than a gang composed of villains and thugs: domestic terrorists. Trump’s failure to address escalating gun violence across America is a dereliction of duty. COWARDS COMPOSING THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA REFUSE TO CALL TRUMP WHAT HE IS: A TRAITOR TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE First and foremost, Trump is not an American President. He has failed to perform any task contained in his list of duties and responsibilities. Immigrants are a small part of the problem.  Natural born citizens comprise the greatest danger to the American people. America has become the most dangerous country in the world; it is unsafe to leave our home...

The Entire Reflecting Pool Saga is Another Trump Failure

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This story will be short. The facts are undeniable, and the truth is found in another failure by the world’s least successful man. Fact number one: Obama spent about 34 million dollars repairing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The job was completed during the Biden administration. Lie number one: Trump lied again, claiming that Obama and Biden spent “hundreds of millions of dollars on the project.” Fact number two: Since 2017, Trump has attempted to undo the many accomplishments of his predecessors. He decided to redesign the pool, “putting his name on it.” Lie number two: Trump claimed the project would cost 12 million dollars. His folly is reaching the 30-million-dollar mark. DETAILS ABOUT ANOTHER TRUMP FAILURE Trump had a “better idea.” The science denier wanted to paint the bottom of the pool “flag blue.” The pool is under the auspices of the Parks and Recreation Department. Any project under their control requires three bids by certified contractors. ...

One Million Covid-19 Deaths Belong to Trump, Not Fauci

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The current hearings with Dr. Fauci as the centerpiece are a farce. Once again, our government is attempting to cover up another Trump failure. Fact: Trump was informed about a possible health emergency in late December of 20019. Although he refuses to read the President’s Daily Brief, an aide is assigned to the responsibility. He did nothing As people from Asia and Europe began to die from what became Covid-19, the press asked Trump if America was facing a pandemic. His answer was “no.” Next came another big lie: “It will just go away.” Trump did nothing. Thankfully, major pharmaceutical companies took the threat seriously and began the development of a vaccine. However, Trump’s failure to lead our nation in the fight allowed millions of Americans to become infected. When he was evicted from the White House in 2021, more than one million Americans had died from the deadly coronavirus. TRUMP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 100,000 AMERICAN DEATHS Healthcare experts claim tha...

What is Trump’s War Doing for You and Those You Love?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No citizen of any nation wants their country to be engaged in a war. However, in America, our illegitimate president began a war with Iran on February 28 th . We should have been prepared. During the 2016, campaign, Trump told his ignorant cult, “I love war, even the nuclear kind.” Trump has never studied history, and therefore never learned from the mistakes of our past. Since WWII our government and the Pentagon have lost four wars: Iran will make it five. FACTS: OUR MILIIARY IS FIVE TIMES LARGER THAN ALL OTHER NATONS COMBINED, AND FIVE TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE For decades, watchdog groups claim that 50 cents of every dollar received by the Pentagon goes to waste. However, our corrupt legislature votes to increase the military budget every year. 10 years ago,, the Pentagon received 585.3 billion dollars. Trump is asking Congress to approve a 2027 budget of 1.15 trillion dollars. We are not getting what we paid for. Our military leaders have become entirely politic...

Is the Childish Practice of Name Calling “Presidential?”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over an 80-year span, I have heard many speeches. Most are boring and without substance. Only a few of our presidents had the ability to inspire emotions of hope and feelings of trust from their audience. Most were in the same category of what I call “politispeak.” None of them resorted to name calling or complained about “how badly they were treated by the press.” None of them preached and incited anger, hatred, and the commission of violence until Donald John Trump. He is not “different,” he is disgusting and an embarrassment to every true American. WHAT THE HELL DID HE EXPECT? Trump chose himself to be the “key speaker” at last Friday’s Correspondents' Dinner (2). Big mistake. Trump has no sense of humor, but he tried to be funny. He was attempting to be funny in front of people he chose to constantly berate and insuledt. What did he expect? I admit that I have called “Dementia Donny” names for 11 years. He earned every one of them. During the 2016 campai...

Ways Your Government has Failed You for the Last 50 Years

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Caring for returning physically and mentally injured military and their families: Universal healthcare: complete equality for women: ending racism and bigotry in America: affordable higher education: end escalating gun violence: fair taxation: reforming our corrupt and incompetent government: placing the American people in priority over special interests. These are the major issues which have faced America for more than 50 years, and nothing has changed, with the exception that some of these issues, including income inequality, have become bigger problems over the last five decades. THE THIRD WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY It is no secret to anyone who chooses to be an informed American: the government of the United States of America has become the most corrupt and incompetent on the planet. Our Founding Father’s intention was to have a government which would represent the needs and wishes of the people. However, today, they work for themselves and rule over us, not...

Trump Sycophant, Bari Weiss, Can’t Handle the Truth

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The news division of CBS moved from being the most respected information network in America to the new Fox News, a broadcast focused on spreading right-wing extremism to millions of loyal viewers. The change was placing Trump sycophant, Bari Weiss, in control of the news division of CBS by its parent company, Paramount. Changes came rapidly. Like Fox, the truth became CBS’ least concern, placing their Fuhrerr, Donald John Trump, in  priority number one. Facts prove that the truth became the enemy. Therefore, Weiss fired some of America’s most respected and legitimate journalists because they refused to surrender their integrity and report stories which were blatant lies. Names you might know are Scott Pelley, Shaaryn Alfonsi, and Cecilia Vega. RESPECTED JOURNALISM DISAPPEARED FROM THE EVENING NEWS AND “60 MINUTES” IMMEDIATELY I have not watched a morning or evening news broadcast since November 9, 2016. Failures during the 2016 campaign season by the ...

A Man Without a Sense of Humor is not a Man

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Becoming the President of the United States requires extreme patriotism, above average intelligence, experience in both domestic and international relations, education derived from both books and experience, and an extremely resilient and strong character. Your current leader fails to possess any of these necessary qualities. A man or woman reveals his or her strength of character, or lack of, when that person becomes the subject of humor at his or her expense. “If you can’t take a joke, get off the stage.” Donald John Trump is afflicted with malignant narcissism, preventing him from the ability to simply “take a joke.” DONNY BOY DESTROYS ANOTHER CHERISHED AMERICAN TRADITION [The White House Correspondents' Dinner began on May 7, 1921, when the White House Correspondents' Association History held its first gathering at the Arlington Hotel in Washington, D.C.] This 100-year-old tradition has become a “presidential roast.” Until 2025, it was hosted by tale...

AOC Would Fight for Me

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike Trump who cares only for his 989 oligarchs/billionaires, Alexandrea Ocasio-Cortez would be the people’s president. That said, let’s look at a recent event which is a perfect example of where the 21 st century is headed, unless radical change occurs immediately. WHEN WILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE COME FIRST? I am an Independent voter: always have been and always will be. I have complaints about both parties and they are the same: if you are an elected official in America, you fail to listen to the majority of our nation’s people. You fail to perform the job for which you were elected. You do not represent the people, you work for yourself. What happened yesterday in the House is a perfect example of why professional politicians are the worst people in the world. A bill was passed giving our incompetent Pentagon $1.15 trillion. Before learning more about the actual vote, I assumed that all Democrats voted against the proposal, and all Republicans voted for it. ...

The Know Nothing, Do Nothing, Worth Nothing Man You Love to Hate

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart He was born into a world of extreme white privilege with an opportunity to do great and memorable things. Donald Trump chose another path: a lifelong search for relevance, personal gratification and even destruction. A life without purpose, virtue, or accomplishment. After five years and seven months as America’s illegitimate president, Trump cannot truthfully claim a single accomplishment for the American people. The opposite is reality. He has caused enormous harm to the great majority of our nation’s people, and to our country. His wasteful spending is the greatest in history, and all of it is beneficial to him, personally. His lifelong mental illness, malignant narcissism, remains his paramount concern. His waste of taxpayer money is outrageous, averaging more than 10 million dollars each month for his personal pleasure, including golf excursions and many trips to his millionaires and billionaire’s playpen, Mar-a-Lago. WHAT TRUMP IS DOING TODAY The overall f...

Call it What it is: “Taking Back America”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In 2017, Trump and his fascist horde took control of our nation’s future. They’ve done a good job of destroying everything which made America a respected country by most people on the planet. While pissing on the Constitution, they succeeded with the destruction of democracy and the creation of a fascist government, necessary to protect the current plutocracy/oligarchy. The American people were warned prior to the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections that our freedoms were in danger if Trump was allowed to take a dump in and on the White House. How right they were. HOW I AND MILLIONS OF LOYAL AMERICANS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR NATION AND OUR LEADERS BEFORE 1981 Trump’s America is a nation filled with anger, hatred and violence. It begins at the top. Not once in 11 years have I ever heard a speech made by the orange buffoon which was presidential. Not once has he offered hope to the people, or offered plans which included improving the quality of life for everyone. Mea...

I Despise All Law Enforcement in the 21st Century, But Those at the Federal Level Have Become Trump’s Personal Gestapo

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Yes, this old man does not respect or trust law enforcement by any name in the 21 st century. Both our military and law enforcement are fascist by design and necessity. However, in the 21 st century, they have forgotten their purpose and have surrendered their integrity, principles, and morals to the Fuhrer defiling our White House. Criminals, thugs, racists, and bigots: these are the components of a street gang known as ICE. They have the support of federal law enforcement agencies to harass, physically assault, and even murder innocent men and women in service to Donald Trump. HOW MY LIFE HAS CHANGED I was raised by my grandparents and one very special uncle. My mother was a single parent. To care for me and my younger brother, she worked as many hours as she could every week. Fortunately, we lived near her mother and father. I was taught to respect my elders, and every person in authority. That included the police. After my mother finally divorced my abusiv...

Are Republicans Racist? If You Don’t Know the Answer to This Question, You Are Not Paying Attention

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Irrefutable facts: Donald John Trump is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement:  the current administration is focused on restoring white supremacy:  America is a racist nation and therefore never will be a “great nation.” Prove me wrong. I don’t want your “belief’s,” I need facts, and I have them. The current leader of what was once the “Republican Party” was raised in New York by a racist father. He learned his lessons well. Raised in an atmosphere of white privilege, his father’s message was clear: being a member of the Aryan race, he was above everyone else, and laws did not apply to him. He was the only person who mattered. Donald Trump believed his father, and became a criminal at an early age, although he was never punished for his crimes. After he received a diploma from Wharton Business College, which he obviously did not earn, he went to work in his father’s business. Fred owned several large apartment buildings in New York. Fred’s primary ...

It’s Official: America is Suffering from the “Florida Virus”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every morning I read the news on my laptop. It is an overused complaint that it is always bad, never good. However, in 21 st century America, It is mostly about situations which are just plain moronic. Everything I read could be easily repaired, shouldn’t have happened in the first place, or about issues which are not in reality, news. There was a time when this type of reporting originated primarily from the weird sate of Florida. However, it is clear that the “virus” has spread to all 50 states. TODAY’S STORIES WHICH ARE NOT “NEWS” One of Trump’s most recent disasters is his redesign of the National Mall’s reflecting pool. When it was completed the first time, algae made the water turn “puke green.” Then patches of blue paint began to float to the surface. It was clear that the company paid to remake the pool had no idea what they were doing. Breaking another rule, this from the Department of Parks and Recreation, Trump refused to get three bids for the proje...

Nazis Ruling Over America?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart All members of the Trump Party, most notably Stephen Miller and Elon Musk, and Trump’s enitre incompetent and corrupt administration, are without question loyal soldiers in Trump’s Nazi regime. But they’re scared. In recent Democratic primaries, a growing number of “Democratic Socialists” won elections. This clearly demonstrates the growing desire of our nation’s people to retake control of our corrupt and incompetent government, led by the worst old man in the world: Donald John Trump. TRUMP’S PRIMARY SUPPORTER IN THE 2024 ELECTION REVEALED HIMSELF Although Elon Musk and his family were never formal members of the South African Nazi Party, it was clear that their beliefs were aligned with Hitler’s own and those who continue to worship him today. When Musk spoke to the American people and offered a clear and undeniable Nazi salute. What most of us believed was confirmed. “Black Voters Matter” issued a statement we should all pay attention to. “We are deeply dist...

One Place Trump’s Name Should Have Been Years Ago

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Throughout his destructive and wasted life, Donald Trump has caused enormous harm to thousands of men and women. As a lifelong criminal, a convicted felon, a man I watched commit treason on January 6, 2021, and violations of the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021, history will remember him as our country’s most dangerous criminal. Trump’s lifelong mental illness, malignant narcissism, created a need to feel relevant. Therefore, he put his name on every edifice and product he could. Buildings, products, such as Trump Airline, Trump Water, Trump Steaks, Trump Shoes, Trump Bibles, Trump Telephones, and every other cheap and hastily built commodity made in China you might imagine. As your illegitimate president, he had his name placed on an airport, a highway, and the Kennedy Center. None of these were deserved. If he could get away with it, he would rename the White House the “Trump House” HAVING COVERED TRUMP AND RESEARCHING HIS DISGUSTING LIFE, I WANT TO SEE HIS N...

How Dumb Are We?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I ask a question; “how dumb are we.” The “we” includes an uninformed and therefore ignorant electorate which decides who will represent the people in Washington. Sitting on the right side of the aisle are the dumbest and most corrupt men and women in our nation’s history. It could be worse. “Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.” Will Rogers LATEST STUPIDITY FROM THE RIGHT Recently New Jersey passed a very sensible law which could save thousands of lives. Assault rifles have a single purpose: to kill a large number of humans in a few seconds. With gun violence escalating in the U.S., the New Jersey state legislature banned the sale of AR-15’s to regular citizens. A group of right-wing-leaning federal judges struck down the law. There are more mass shootings in America than days on the calendar, and apparently, that’s acceptable. Real presidents attempt to inspire our nation’s citizens. Not the orange buffoon. On Thursday even...
