For Me, This Entire F**king Mess Feels Like a Bad Movie

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Yes, I am a wise old fart. I have lived in my beloved country for nearly 80 years. That is why what I see happening in my nation of choice is so upsetting and even incomprehensible. My articles are often repetitive, and I am fully aware of this fact. Sometimes I think that I’m attempting to wake up and find that this is all a nightmare. Maybe it’s the memory of a bad movie I watched 40 years ago. Unfortunately, our elected officials are so cowardly and incompetent that what I am experiencing is reality. WAS I BRAINWASHED? I think back to my younger years when I was growing up in the post war era and how I viewed my country. I might have been brainwashed as I review my thoughts and beliefs as a young American. However, by the time I was partially an illusion, manufactured by the politicians in Washington. OUR LEADERS HAVE EMBARRASSED OUR FOUNDING FATHERS When I compare the courage and dedication of our Founding Fathers to what has happened to my country over the ...

If Our Government is not Doing Its Job, Do We Need a Federal Government?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Since the 1980’s, America’s federal government began to discard and ignore its intent and purpose. Although our Founding Fathers created a system of “checks and balances” with three “separate but equal branches:” the executive, legislative, and judicial: politics began to replace purpose with dysfunction. If you study history, and read the letters written to their constituents by those attending the Constitutional Convention between 1787 and 1789, you will have a greater understanding of the intentions of Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Monroe, Madison, and the rest. FREEDOM OF AND FREEDOM FROM RELIGION Our Founding Fathers considered the First Amendment the most inclusive and important guarantee of human rights, and the protection of freedom and equality for all, ever written. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the ...

I Cannot Hold My Feelings Inside Any Longer and I’m Not Sorry

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After more than 10 years of Trump exposing himself and being exposed, I am convinced that anyone who continues to support the orange buffoon either can’t read, watches Fox, Newsmax or another right-wing extremist rag all day, or is just plain stupid. First and of greatest importance is the fact that Trump cares about no one, and that means his own children, other than himself. Over the last 10+ years, Donald John Trump has used his position to increase his personal wealth while violating the Bill of Rights daily. IF YOU CONTINUE TO BELIEVE HIS BIG LIE, YOU LITERALLY NEED YOUR HEAD EXAMINED At this moment in history, anyone who believes an old, brain damaged, malignant narcissist chose to be brainwashed. Why do they hate America? Our government has become the most corrupt and incompetent in the world, and these facts, the truth, can be attributed to the actions and words of a few ambitious and power-mad white men. Some are professional politicians, and others see...

Why I Won’t Be Celebrating the Fourth of July This Year

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Whoever came up with the idea to have a national holiday to celebrate all 47 of our nation’s presidents was an idiot who obviously never read the history of our country. Most of the men who were given the opportunity and privilege to lead America’s people were complete failures, and some caused harm to our nation’s future. Only a few should receive such an honor, because only a handful performed the duties required of an American President. When I was a young man, our nation celebrated the lives of two Presidents, Abraham Lincoln on February 12 th , and George Washington on February 22 nd . They were deserving of the honor. I would have added Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose birthday is January 30. “The People’s President” was the greatest of all time for a single reason: he was the only man to place all Americans in priority number one. MY AMERICA TOOK ITS LAST BREATH ON JANUARY 20, 2017 On January 20, 2017, not only was the worst president in history  inau...

Trump Was Emphatic About the Fact that He Doesn’t Care About You, Why Should You Care About Him?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The entire job of a president is to serve and care for the needs, wishes, and safety of his/her people. Donald Trump is not an American president by any stretch of the imagination. Over his nearly 80 pitiful years, his only concern has been himself. This malignant narcissist takes pleasure in the pain of others. That’s the one thing he is good at. LOOKING AT HIS MANY CRIMES, TWO STAND ABOVE ALL THE OTHERS When Trump committed treason on January 6, 2021, my wife and I were two of the few who actually experienced the darkest day in American history. When Trump unilaterally decided to wage a war on the sovereign nation of Iran on February 28, 2026, he not only violated the Constitution, he committed a war crime. A part of this story includes the pain he inflicted on the American people. Not only has his illegal and immoral war cost taxpayers at least one billion dollars each day, the cost of essentials, including gasoline, continue to reach prices no one has experi...

Politicians, Insurance Companies, All Corporations, Political Parties

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I often think about what makes America less than it should or could be. I know all the good things: I love history and our Founding Fathers stated their reasons for creating the United States of America better than I could ever explain them to you. ACCORDING TO ME, HERE ARE THE WORST OF THE WORST I won’t use individuals, you know who they are. The government of the United States has become the most corrupt and incompetent in the world, and there are plenty of guilty individuals on Capitol Hill. I will list organizations and groups I consider to be the most harmful to the image and future of America. I trust no one with great wealth or power. I could have chosen our incompetent military leaders in the Pentagon, all law enforcement agencies, many religious leaders, and other groups I despise for their failures to do what is right without reservation. However, I narrowed it down to just four. PROFESSIONAL POLITIICANS BELONG TO THE WORST PROFESSION IN THE WORLD If a...

Where Am I? What? No Way

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I had a dream, at least I wish it was nothing but a bad dream. In this dream, I fell asleep on November 7, 2016, and when I woke up, my surroundings told me it was the beginning of another, ordinary day. However, the events of that day and what I heard on television told me that I was no longer in the United States of America. The date on my computer was January 19, 2017. The primary story on television news was about the events of January 20, and the inauguration of our nation’s 45 th president. However, the picture displayed on the screen showed Donald Trump, not Hillary Clinton. What the fuck? This was not possible. Not only was Hillary far ahead in the polls, Trump was a joke, He was the least qualified man in history to seek the office of President of the United States. He was a complete failure in the private sector, and the Manhattan real estate community was aware that he was a white-collar criminal. He had a reputation as a sexual predator who had been...

Another “Only in America:” Men and Women Who Attempted to Overthrow Our Government Rewarded

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you did not watch all three hours of the darkest day in America’s history on January 6, 2021, I envy you. Although my wife and I felt like crying, we were in shock. This could not happen in our America: but it did. The American Nazi Party, the fake news, and every person in our nation with power and great wealth, will attempt to gaslight you. The truth is, the second American Revolution has begun. Loyal Americans are at war with their own federal government. THE TRUTH YOUR GOVERNMENT AND THE FAKE NEWS DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW Trump is the most popular illegitimate president in America’s history: if you believe that democracy should be replaced with a fascist regime. The fourth estate no longer exists, not a single broadcast “news” show on television can be believed or trusted. All major networks are owned by Trump’s oligarchs/billionaires. We all know that Fox is a right-wing propaganda machine. However, in 2026, NBC, ABC, and Paramount, the parent company of...

Real Reasons Trump Was Desperate to Become Your Illegitimate President: His Freedom and Money

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As you know by now, our Founding Fathers made mistakes. They knew it, but believed that their successors would make the necessary improvements. They expected others would be eager to follow them and serve their country, their people. However, they failed to foresee the weakness and lack of character we experience today. The federal government of the United States is the most incompetent and corrupt in the world in 2026. And their leader is the “Don” of the Washington Mafia.” “The president continues to find new, once-unimaginable ways to use the awesome powers of the federal government to enrich himself.” Michael A. Cohen, (author). HOW MANY OF OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED LEADERS ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY? The saddest and most important lesson I learned over my nearly 80 years as a patriotic American, is that in the 21 st century, no one with extreme wealth and/or power can be trusted. If I had to guess, I believe that about 80 percent of those who spend ...

Not Abortion Rights: Women’s Rights

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Women continue their fight for equality. Whenever a Republican is in the Oval Office, women’s rights take two steps backwards for every step they gained during a Democratic administration. Before I move deeper into my article, I feel that I must vent my frustration. This begins with one, simple fact: old, white men have no right to make decisions for women when the issue has any relationship to their ability to reproduce. The situation is unrelatable for men who continue to believe that women have a single purpose: to serve the needs of men. That said, let’s take a realistic look at an issue which should not be included in the many reasons we choose one candidate over another when we vote: abortion. WOMEN CONTINUE TO BE SECOND AND EVEN THIRD-CLASS CITIZENS In America, white women were not allowed to vote until 1920. Black women were forced to wait for their Constitutional right until 1965. For 49 years, women were protected by federal law when they decided to te...

How White, Fake Christians Participated in the Demise of the Grand Old Party

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fact: the Republican Party began to take its final breaths in 1981. Today, the Party of Lincoln is nothing but a memory. There are many reasons that this travesty occurred, but at the center are efforts by one extremist group of leaders calling themselves “Evangelicals.” [The term evangelical refers to a worldwide movement within Protestant Christianity that emphasizes the authority of the Bible, the "good news" (gospel) of salvation through Jesus Christ, and the personal experience of being "born”] IF YOU IGNORE THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN Growing up Catholic, and attending Parochial school, I read the Bible, and studied the basic concepts of Judaism, the Religion of Islam, and learned the beliefs of Buddhism, Sikhism, and other less popular faiths. For those of you who have never read the Bible, cover to cover, it is divided into two parts: the Old Testament, and the New Testament. The Old Testament is composed of lege...

Republicans Know the Right Thing to Do, but They Love Their Fuhrer, not Their Country

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In January of 2017, an entire political party, which was once known as “the Grand Old Party,” abandoned its morals, its self-respect, its principles, and its dignity, and surrendered its free thought and free will to an old, obese, and mentally deficient failed businessman who had renently been illegitimately sworn in as their president. The Party of Lincoln had taken its last breath. MOST “REPUBLICANS” KNOW BETTER I have no doubt that the majority of the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” in Washington have at least average intelligence and are fully aware that Trump has become a dictator. They know that his policies are wrong for America, but with a shrinking voter base, they are desperate to receive the votes of his ignorant supporters. His failure to keep his promises, most notably ending inflation, ending the invasion of Ukraine, and keeping our nation out of another unwinnable war in the Middle East, are adding to the possibility of Democrats ...

The Antichrist Which Lost Its Mind

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No one could write a movie this confusing. On every set is a person whose job is to ensure that the film contains continuity and makes sense from beginning to end. What’s left of Donald Trump’s little brain is a f**king mess. No one knows what he is doing, including Donald John Trump. The old, mentally disabled, obese man who is pretending to be your president revealed himself as the Antichrist years ago. When speaking to his cult, he exalts himself constantly. He easily brainwashes, his weak-minded followers who became convinced that Donald Trump is the Messiah: greater than Mohammad or Jesus Christ. TRUMP TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS THAT HE IS GREATER THAN JESUS CHRIST “‘Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.” Trump is a fake Christian. The pastor of the Church Trump claims to be his place of worship, revealed that Trump has never crossed its threshold. It is obvious that he never read the bible, and definitely not the New Testa...
