A Billion Dollar Dance Hall for the Devil?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I knew when Trump announced a plan to build an unnecessary ballroom, and swore it would cost 200 million dollars, all paid for by his oligarchs, he was telling another huge lie. No one wanted his monstrosity. Although he promised that only a small part of the East Wing of the White House would be demolished, he told another lie. The People’s Home no longer has an East Wing. Trump is a guest of the people and has no right to make any changes to the White House, I believe a lawsuit should be filed against the orange buffoon, forcing him to return the White House to its original condition, and he must pay for it. THE BIGGEST LIE IS ABOUT THE COST Over the last few months,Trump changed the estimated cost of his garish edifice to himself from 200 to 300 and finally to 400 million dollars. Now, Lindsey Graham is leading a movement by right-wing extremists to force the American people to pay for Trump’s folly. By the way, the plans shown to the press cannot be complete...

Has America Become Russia Junior?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A ruthless dictator, oligarchs with more money than God, and a federal government in name only, bowing to the demands of their Fuhrer. Which country did I just describe? The truth is, this situation is entirely applicable to Putin’s Russia and the former United States of America, ruled by Donald Trump. WHO IS REALLY CONTROLLING AMERICA’S FUTURE Our government is hiding a fact they have known for decades. Putin and Trump have maintained a very close relationship since 1987. When they have been photographed or videotaped together, Trump’s body language and facial expressions prove that he is subservient to the Russian President. After Trump failed to accomplish Putin’s ambitions between 2017 and 2021, and then suffered a huge defeat in the 2020 election, the two fascist men became more aggressive. Trump is closely following his fascist manifesto, Project 2025, as he remakes my country to mimic Putin’s Russia. We are no longer a nation of laws: the Constitution has...

America’s Hitler Wannabe is Too Old, and Lacking Basic Intelligence

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Although you will never hear it on the mainstream media broadcasts, or from the mouths of cowardly politicians, it is no secret that Trump is a Hitler wannabe. It was reported that early in his marriage, Trump read Hitler’s speeches before going to sleep. It is also completely obvious that he idolizes Vladimir Putin. The amount and frequency of his praise for Russia’s president would be embarrassing for any normal man. Trump faces several problems. In the age of instant communication, there are no secrets. Trump’s spiraling approval ratings confirm the fact that he is the most hated man in the world. His second problem is that his military may be the largest and most expensive in the world, but it has failed to win a single war since the end of WWII. Most importantly, no one would disagree with me that both Hitler and Putin are the poster boys for evil, but their intellect was never questioned. FROM HIS SPEECHES, TEXTS, AND WHEN TAKING QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS, ...

Trump’s Nazi Party and his Six Nazi Supreme Court Justices are Pissing Their Pants

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over the last 10 years, the former Republican Party and six corrupt Supreme Court justices exposed themselves, allowing every American to see who they really are. Their loyalty belongs to the worst man in the world; an old, obese traitor who has become the Fuhrer of the United States of America. However, Trump is not the sharpest tool in the shed, and his actions have been so extreme that many of his most loyal supporters are beginning to see the truth. He is a con man: not a good one, but he has the full support of the former Grand Old Party and the majority of the Supreme Court. However, hope is alive. It is very clear today that Democrats and Independents have an excellent chance of taking control of both houses of Congress in November. IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING HAS FALLEN TO AN HISTORICALLY LOW NUMBER Trump’s campaign promises were all lies. The American people are experiencing a steep decline in their quality of life. Inflation continue...

Two Words, Four Presidents: How America Became the Poorest Nation in the World

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most Americans ignore what the content of this story is all about. Terms like “the national deficit,” or “national debt” are a mystery to most Americans and therefore not an issue of great importance. The simplest way to explain this situation is to use household economics. If your household income is $5,000 each month, but your family’s expenses are $6,000 a month, you have a very serious problem. Our nation has a deficit of about 37 trillion dollars. That’s right, $37,000,000,000,000.00. Our great grandchildren will inherit this debt, and likely pass it on to their children. POLITICIANS ARE BLOWING SMOKE UP YOUR ASS WHEN THE CLAIM THAT AMERICA IS THE “RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD” If your monthly bills exceed your gross income, you are worse than poor. There is no feasible way to reverse the situation without removing all wasteful spending immediately, or find a way to increase your income. It’s the same with a country. For the first time since 1946, our natio...

Blame Lies on the Skinny Shoulders of Trump Sycophant, Bari Weiss

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A shift in the morning “nws” shows reveals one fact: Trump is an albatross. In October of 2025, CBS’ parent company, Paramount, placed Trump sycophant, Bari Weiss, in control of the News Department. Big mistake by men and women with too much money. -One of her first decisions was to fire late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert. Fans did not agree, and this began a decline in all CBS’ news-related broadcasts. DECLINES IN MORNING AND EVENING VIEWERS Recently, I reported that the CBS evening news broadcast is behind the other two legitimate networks in the ratings. A new study confirms that the morning “news” shows are experiencing the same situation. Since Bari Weiss was given the reins of CBS’ news division, the Nielson ratings confirm a steep and steady decline in the number of viewers watching “CBS This Morning.” Statistics were reviewed over a one-week period in April. GMA, the Today Show, and CBS This Morning revealed interesting and telling results. GMA av...

86-47: Spread the Word

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 86-47. This should become the new mantra for all real Americans who dream about the removal of Trump and his Nazi Party from our federal government. Thousands of signs should be seen at every protest against Trump and his fascist agenda. The Trump administration is desperate to punish former FBI Director, James Comey for investigating Trump’s confirmed collusion with Vladimir Putin in the 2016 election. His ass kissers at the DOJ claim that Comey’s rocks in the sand with the numbers, 86-47 are a threat to kill Trump. Now for something the right-wing hates: facts. MANY USES OF THE TERM, “86 HIM” The use of the numbers 86 originated in the food industry. It was a shortcut to “cancel that order.” I worked in the Northern Nevada casinos for nearly 20 years. A trespassing law, created with the casinos in mind, defines Comey’s intent more accurately [Nevada’s Unlawful Trespass Upon Land law, codified in NRS 207.200, defines trespassing and sets out the penalties and w...

Worst Houseguest Ever

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This is a “what if” story which has become an actual travesty and tragedy. What if you learned about an historical home which was burned to the ground on August 24, 1814 during the War of 1812, and there was hope that someone would rebuild it? What if you were very rich, and rebuilt one of the most important and cherished homes in the world as close to the original blueprints as possible. Then you decorated and furnished it with items which had been removed and spared before the fire was set, and spent many hours and large amounts of money to return the building to its former glory. Although you did not live in this huge and impressive mansion, you occasionally allowed others to reside in what had become an historical structure cherished by every person in your country. Most of the time it was open for people to tour the home and enjoy its historical importance. Then, what if one man was allowed an extended stay, and decided he wanted to make some changes? He co...

An Arrogant Donald Trump Tells German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to “Fix His Broken Country”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The United States of America is more divided than it was before the first Civil War. The economy is in shambles. Most Americans are struggling with escalating inflation. America’s healthcare is the least effective and most expensive in the world. The federal government is corrupt and totally incompetent. Women’s rights have been moved backwards to the mid-twentieth century. The Supreme Court is complicit with right-wing extremists in their attempts at voter suppression. With the leader of white supremacy occasionally residing in the White House, racism and bigotry have reached levels not seen since the 1920’s and 1930’s. All of this is directly attributable to one man, Donald John Trump, and yet, Trump is telling the Chancellor of Germany to “fix his broken country.” I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried. ATTEMPTING TO DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE: HIS WAR ON IRAN “The Chancellor of Germany should spend more time on ending the war with Russia/Ukraine (Where he has ...

Three Campaign Promises, Three Humongous Lies, a Real Monarch, and a Wannabe King

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This week has been interesting. Two very old men, one 77, and one who will be 80 in just six weeks, met for tea in our White House. The biggest differences between them are that one man is a King, and the other is supposed to be a public servant. One has no real power, and is loved by most of his people. The other is power-mad, and despised by three-quarters of the people he was elected to serve. One man’s speech was articulate, and humorous at times, while the other man rambled on about nothing and no one could understand his gibberish. King Charles rose to his position when his mother, Queen Elizabeth, passed away. He was first in line to receive the crown. He made no promises, and simply accepted the honor that was his by birthright. Trump won a second controversial election with the assistance of Vladimir Putin and the United States Supreme Court. He made many promises, more accurately false promises, in a desperate effort to win the election. His most impor...

Merger Between MAGA and CBS is a Disaster

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was a junior in high school in 1962. As my family always did, we turned on CBS to watch the evening news every evening as we ate dinner on our TV trays. Our small, one bedroom apartment did not have a dining room. There was a new man sitting behind the news desk. His name was Walther Cronkite. From that day forward, we never missed his broadcast. He earned his reputation as “the most trusted man in America.” In those days the only national broadcast networks were CBS, ABC, and NBC. There were local stations in Los Angeles, channels 5, KTLA, channel 9, KCAL, and 11, KTTV. Our most watched networks were CBS and channel 9. Channel 9 had a slogan, “MAYFE,” Movies Are Your Finest Entertainment. Old movies were shown every Friday night, including John Wayne’s westerns and his WWII movies. I believe that CBS has been my favorite network all of my life, until October 2025. This was when Trump sycophant, Bari Weiss was given control of CBS’ news division. A decision ha...

How America Reversed Its Path to Compassion and Understanding, and Became a Nation Controlled by Anger, Hatred, and Violence

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most of you know that I am a proud pacifist. As an original Baby Boomer, born in 1946, I have been curious about history for most of my life. The most important facts I learned involved the history of wars: their origin, the loss of life, and what was accomplished. I will not bore you with all of what I learned over decades, but I can summarize the facts in a concise manner. WHY MEN RESORT TO WARS Any man or woman with average intelligence is aware that any military conflict between nations must be the last resort, or a defensive measure after one of the nations wages a military assault on the other. Early in recorded history, the three reasons for declaring war were based on acquisition of land, disputes involving personal relationships, religious beliefs, and the male ego. THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE UNITED STATES BEGAN WITH A WAR [Settlements in the New World began with the Spanish in 1492/1493, followed by the English, who established Jamestown in 1607. ] Most...

How Incompetent is Trump? I Offer You an Undeniable Example

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There is no record of Trump accomplishing anything of value or importance in his nearly 80 years. Throughout the 2024 campaign, Trump made many promises, although he obviously never intended to keep them. Everyone remembers the big ones: “ending inflation on day one,” “ending the war in Ukraine on day one,” and “never placing our nation at war again.” Lie, lie, and a huge lie. ONE PROMISE COULD HAVE BEEN KEPT WITHOUT ANY EFFORT AND WAS WIDELY POPULAR: HE DID NOT Daylight Savings Time has been a highly contested issue throughout my adult life. The practice of moving our clocks ahead one hour every spring, and back to the original time every fall is unnecessary and dangerous. On the Monday after the clocks are moved forward, there are more automobile accidents than on any other single day in the year. Everyone loses an hour of sleep, and this situation is dangerous for some. Trump promised to end daylight savings time. I seem to remember changing my clocks ahead o...

I’ve Been Trying to Avoid this, but She Asked for it: Melania is a Useless Trophy Wife and a Brainless Boy Toy

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Because you both need an education about America and its history, this is for you, Donny and Melania. In 1954, Steve Allen co-created the “Tonight Show.” He left the show in January of 1957, replaced by Jack Paar who hosted the show until 1962 when Johnny Carson accepted the job. Carson became the longest host, leaving the program in 1992. He was followed by Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Leno again, and Jimmy Fallon who replaced Leno in 2014 and remains the host today. Every one of these men, along with their writers, told jokes about the man who was president. The lesson here is, if you don’t want to be laughed at, don’t run for the presidency. The President of the United States is the most visible person on the planet, and fair game for both criticism and laughter at his or her expense. WE KNOW THAT DONNY AND MELANIA DO ONE THING TOGETHER When Melania stood before the television cameras on Monday and whined about one of the popular late-night comics, Jimmy Kimmel, ...

Complete Lack of Character and a “My Way or the Highway” Attitude: Say Hello to the Real Donald Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has used the same, old, tired tactic for nearly 80 years. When he is asked a question he does not want to answer, or when a reporter demands an explanation for his remarks or actions, he attacks the person asking the question. The truth is his greatest enemy. When a situation requires deliberation and compromise, he lacks the ability to discuss the issue intelligently, and reverts to his only choice, “my way or the highway.” No one could be less presidential than Donald John Trump. SOME GOOD, SOME BAD, ONLY ONE WAS VERY GOOD, AND A FEW WERE VERY BAD Over my nearly 80 years, presidents have come and gone. Of the 14 I experienced, the best way to describe most of them is “good riddance.” Only one of our nation’s leaders was so impressive when performing his presidential duties that he can be referred to as “great.” That man was John Fitzgerald Kennedy. On the reverse side, I have had the misfortune to suffer through the three worst presidents of all time. In...

No Foreign Country, No Action by Any Other Traitor Within our Government, Has Caused More Damage to Our Nation than Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The study of history is of far greater importance than any other informative publication compiled by any individual or group in our nation’s history. Ignoring the lessons learned from past events is extremely dangerous and confirms a lack of intelligence and common sense. Mistakes from past actions and events are the greatest lessons any individual or nation can examine and analyze to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. The damage inflicted upon our nation over the last 10+ years by one man and his fascist political party is far greater than the events of the Civil War, the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, and the slaughter of 2,977 innocent American citizens on September 11, 2001. The harm Trump has done to our nation will require decades to undo, and some is irreparable. The culprit is one old, obese, malignant narcissist in collusion with one political party whose only goal is absolute power over a nation of 340 million people. STOP BELIEVIN...

If the Mainstream Media was not Fake News, You’d be Reading this Story or Watching it on Television News

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Fourth Estate no longer exists. After Trump won his second rigged election on November 5, 2024, his 989 oligarchs/billionaires achieved complete control over our nation, and surrendered their souls to their Fuhrer. Every major news outlet, television or print, is owned by one of Trump’s cronies. Therefore, any negative reference to Trump and his Nazi Party is omitted. Since 1981, facts and the truth have become the enemies of all right-wing politicians. History proves that the men and women who call themselves “conservatives” are in fact radical extremists who accept the basic ideals of fascism. It is also a fact that they are incapable of successfully governing 340 million people. WHEN IT ALL BEGAN TO FALL APART 1968 was an important year in my life. This was the first general election in which I could vote, having become 21 years old in 1967. My excitement and joy disappeared in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968 when Robert Kennedy was murdered. I was confused. ...
