When the Plague Comes, Thank Robert Kennedy Jr. and Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have been trying to understand why Trump chose the least qualified men and women to be on his cabinet and lead our nation’s most critical agencies. I finally realized that this is another display of his lifelong mental illness: malignant narcissism. Trump knows nothing about anything. Therefore, choosing men and women who are even dumber than he is seems normal. FIRING NOEM, BONDI, AND GABBARD WAS A GOOD BEGINNING Real Americans celebrated when Trump fired Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Three other names came to my mind immediately: Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, (not “of War), FBI Director, Kash Patel, and most importantly Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr. It appears to me that Kennedy is attempting to kill as many of our nation’s people as possible. He is nothing less than a witch doctor who makes things up as he wakes up each mornin...

With the Rising Number of Billionaires, America Began its Demise

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “Profit Before People.” These three words became the American motto in 1981. Ronald Reagan was the first fake Republican president. His fiscal policy, “trickle-down economics,” was a gift to our nation’s wealthiest citizens. His lie was a promise that if America’s largest corporations were more profitable, they would reinvest in our country’s future, and provide “good-paying jobs” for every man and woman in America. What really happened is common knowledge. America’s billionaires used the money they received from huge tax breaks and purchased another mansion in a foreign nation, more outrageously expensive cars, or additional cases of their favorite French wine. Some simply added funds to their offshore bank accounts. Reagan’s three Republican successors used the same failed fiscal policy. WHERE IS AMERICA TODAY? America’s economic system of “capitalism” was unfair to the working class for generations. Today, capitalism has been replaced by a plutocracy/oligarch...

Another Trump Failure: Are You Surprised? I Am Not

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I remember the “Million Man March.” Dr. King chose the perfect setting to give his now famous, “I have a dream,” speech. With the Lincoln Memorial behind him, and thousands of men and women in front of him, lining the reflecting pool. The overall image was one of inspiration, hope, and even grandeur. Something is missing from this picture today. The reflecting pool is no longer a soft blue, it is frog green and the paint from the bottom of the pool appears to be peeling as scraps of paint are floating to the top. TRUMP’S LIFELONG AFFLICTION WITH MALIGNANT NARCISSISM STRIKES AGAIN Trump’s ego is the only thing larger than his humongous derriere. He decided to drain the mall’s reflecting pool and paint the bottom “flag blue.” However, when the 14M “job” was complete, the water never turned blue. Algae formed immediately and now it is an awful shade of green. As one tourist described it: “it looks like vomit.” What went wrong? Let’s go back to the beginning ANOTHER...

Poor Donny Dementia: He Keeps Failing, and Failing, and Failing

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I wonder what it feels like to know that you have failed every attempt to accomplish something, anything, for an entire lifetime. This is the tragic reality one obese, mentally damaged, 80-year-old man is experiencing today. From that day in the early 1970’s, when Donny Dementia began his attempt to become a New York real estate magnate, he was doomed to fail. Over the last 11 years the world has learned why Donny D had his academic records sealed in 2017. Although he has a diploma from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business College, it is clear that he never attended classes to earn his degree. His incoherent and rambling speech alone confirms that he failed to make an effort to learn anything of value while attending an Ivy League College. Six bankruptcies, and accepting bailouts from Russian Oligarchs and the Saudi Royal Family revealed the fact that he was way “over his head” when he attempted to become a successful businessman.

How Trump Makes my Life More Difficult at 80

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump is a disaster for all 340 million Americans. If you are supportive of his “America,” you are one of nation’s 22 million millionaires or 989 billionaires. The rest of us live in his version of hell. First of all, whoever created the term, “the golden years,” was full of shit. You have to be mentally tough to survive beyond the age of 75. Personally, the only part of “me” which has not begun to rapidly deteriorate is my mind. I’m thankful for that. However, I can’t stand or walk, my eyesight becomes worse every day, I have become clumsy, and all of this combined is the reason I occasionally act like an angry, feeble old man. This is America, and one issue above all makes life extremely difficult for me and my incredible bride of 31 years: we are expected to survive on a meager, fixed income. The value of all individuals in America is judged by their income, the money they have in their bank accounts, and nothing else. The national motto has become “pr...

Two Losers: Donald Trump and the Pentagon: Lose Again

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When we look at who we were fighting, it’s hard to believe that the biggest and most expensive military in the world lost its fifth war since the end of WWII. For Trump and Hegseth, it’s their first: so far. “When I’m your president, there will be no more wars.” “There will be no peace with Iran until they abandon their efforts to develop nuclear weapons.” Just two of Trump’s hundreds of thousands of lies since 2015. FASCISM LOSES ANOTHER ONE Trump, Hegseth, and the Pentagon, by design are fascists. And like their heroes, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Emperor Hirohito, and Vladimir Putin, they lost a war intended to display their power and desire for world domination. For Trump, his war against Iran was intended to be a distraction from the investigation into pedophile Jeffrey Trump’s personal records. However, after three-and-one-half months, and a waste of between one and two hundred billion taxpayer dollars, there is no end. Only a two-month ceasefire has b...

Today, June !4, 2026, Another Dark Day in American History

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On this dark day in American history, America has an octogenarian as its president: for the second time. Knowing that the average age of all Americans is under 39 years of age, this makes no sense. Trump supporters have forgotten their criticism of the first 80-year-old President, Joe Biden, although he was one of the most successful presidents in modern history. The truth is simple; Trump is the worst, illegitimate president in America’s 250-year history. JANUARY 20, 2017, JANUARY 6, 2021, AND JANUARY 20, 2025 Today, June 14, 2026 will be added to the above dates as one of the darkest days in American history. The American people are cursed with an old, obese, mentally challenged man who hates his own country and uses his illegitimate presidency to increase his personal wealth, and satisfy his personal ambitions. He Is, without a doubt, the “Don” of the Washington Mafia. NO CLASS, AND THE POSTER BOY FOR THE TERM “WHITE TRASH” To honor himself, Trump has spent 6...

The Only Game the Knicks Lost in 16 Straight Was the One Attended by Donald Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It should have happened in 4, but the New York Knicks were forced to travel to San Antonio to win the NBA World Championship in 5 games. The biggest loser and jinx in world history attended game three in Madison Square Garden, giving the Spurs their only victory in the series. At least that’s the way Knick’s fans saw it. When Trump arrived at MSG, he was booed and cursed by the huge crowd. It began during the National Anthem and continued until the orange buffoon sat down in the owner’s box: he was in need of a nap. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EXPECT AND DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO IS WORTHY OF OUR RESPECT AND TRUST, NOT DONALD JOHN TRUMP Trump has pretended to be your president for five years and nearly six months. He has failed to accomplish a single positive action for the America people. His focus continues to be personal, taking revenge on his enemies and redirecting the people’s focus from his long and close relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The many challe...

America Hates Me, and I Hate America in the 21st Century

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America’s biggest little secret is a crime against humanity: America hates the elderly. Most of what I believed about my country for the last 80 years was based on lies and illusion. Raised in the 1950’s and 1960’s, I was naive and believed that our leaders cared about the people they were elected to serve. It was all a lie, a fantasy created by corrupt and self-serving politicians. Over eight decades, my love for the nation of our Founding Fathers has faded. The reason is clear and undeniable: no one with the power to save our nation has any interest in performing the jobs for which they were elected. AMERICA IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST A study of life in developed nations revealed the reality of life in America in the 21 st century. The United States is at the bottom of every important issue: healthcare, education, and quality of life. One issue was not on the list: how America treats its oldest citizens. If the only Great President in history, Franklin Dela...

Your Illegitimate President, a Wannabe Billionaire, Doesn’t Give a Fuck About You or Me

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Let me first offer you one irrefutable fact: Donald John Trump is the worst person in the world. No single, old, white man has caused more harm to the world as an individual than the orange buffoon pretending to be your president today. It is absolutely fair to compare him to a combination of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin. Okay, I feel a little better. “I DON’T CARE” In just two days, Donny Dementia will become an octogenarian. This is nothing to be proud of; nothing to celebrate. I, too, will be 80 years old in just over three weeks. It is common knowledge that since the day he was born, it is an unusual event when what comes out of his piehole is the truth. However, as his mental acuity rapidly declines, Trump occasionally says something he doesn’t want you to know: the truth. An American President has one job: to serve and protect the American people. However, this is not on Trump list and certainly not contained in the right-wing’s fascist manifesto, “Projec...

Trump: A Jinx, An Albatross, and a Bad Luck Charm

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Monday evening’s loss to the Spurs at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks had won 13 straight playoff games. Playing at home, New York was the odds-on favorite to lead the series 3-0. Instead, the record now is 2-1. The Spurs outplayed the Knicks, and when the buzzer sounded, the final score was Spurs 115, Knicks 111. What changed? HAIL TO THE CHIEF? Knicks owner, billionaire/oligarch James Dolan, invited his Fuhrer to attend the game, although it is widely known that Trump is the most hated man ever to be a former resident of New Your City. When Trump entered MSG, and the television cameras focused on the orange buffoon, the booing began. It escalated rapidly with jeers and obscenities. Trump continued to smile like the fool he is, ignoring the fact that he is the most-hated man in America. TRUMP FAILS TO LEARN ANYTHING, ALTHOUGH HE WILL BE AN 80-YEAR-OLD, OLD MAN IN JUST FIVE DAYS Sports enthusiasts, players, fans, and those who plac...

Trump’s Immaturity, and Lack of Average Intellect in the Spotlight Again

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Too old, too ill, too fascist, and too dumb to be my president. This is how I describe the orange buffoon squatting in the people’s White House today. He is woefully unqualified, and is the poster boy for the reasons our nation has an elected president and not an autocrat as its leader. Trump continues his “big lie,” although his allegations have been proven entirely false in every court in the land, including his own, stacked Supreme Court. TRUMP CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH On Sunday, Trump agreed to an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press which was taped earlieer. Big mistake. When he was asked a question related to his “big lie,” he stood and walked out. Without an iota of character, Trump lacks the ability to face any criticism, regardless of how big or how small. There’s an old “saying:” “If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.” With the possible exception of George Washington, all of our nation’s presidents have been targets for criticism and laughte...

God is Dead: Prove Me Wrong

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was raised a Catholic. However, by the time I was in my first year of Catholic High School, I began to ask questions. I read the Los Angeles Times daily, and horrific events around the world gave me doubts about what I had believed for my entire young life. Some of the precepts of the Christian faith are contained in the “eight beatitudes.” Poor in spirit: Recognizing dependence on God. Those who mourn: Finding comfort in God through repentance. The meek: Trusting in God rather than self-assertion. Hunger/thirst for righteousness: Pursuing justice and a relationship with God. The merciful: Showing compassion and forgiveness Pure in heart: Maintaining undivided devotion to God. Peacemakers: Actively fostering reconciliation. Persecuted: Enduring hardship for living out faith. In the Bible, there are promises that those who believe in these attributes will be honored by God. They would be rewarded, and those with evil in their hearts who commit crimes against tr...

And I Thought George W. Bush Would Remain the Ultimate Joke in Washington

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Do you remember “Bushisms?” There were many and they were never-ending in the early 21 st century. Our nation’s 43 rd president either failed or refused to attend English classes in high school or college. It was common for the late-night talk shows to poke fun at George W. Bush’s ability to mispronounce or misuse words when he addressed the American people. His most frequent and most remembered was “nucular” instead of “nuclear.” He never learned to pronounce the word correctly. NO COMPARISON Trump is an absolute embarrassment for any man or woman who has English as their primary language. It is this fact alone which convinced me that there is no way Trump earned his diploma from an Ivy League College. He was very likely the focus of many jokes at Wharton. I admit that much of his inability to speak in clear, coherent, and meaningful sentences is related to dementia and the fact that he will be an octogenarian in one week. However, his thousan...

Trust No One: No One is On Your Side

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I may be an old man, but I know two things: I have seen or heard all the great individual men and women who created the greatest music in history, and the bands who thrilled us, and I have lived long enough to see our nation’s federal government become the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. I am aware that I was naïve before my junior year in high school, 1962, but for the most part, I trusted my government, our military leaders, law enforcement, and the priests serving me and my fellow parishioners in our church. I also believed that most of America’s wealthiest men and women and the corporations they owned cared about the quality of their products and the people who worked for them. As I near my 80 th birthday, I no longer trust anyone in our nation who has outrageous wealth and/or complete power over my life. The truth is both disheartening and unacceptable. NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN OUR GOVERNMENT IS WORTH THE SALARY THEY RECEIVE The ...

Donald “The Don” Trump and his Washington Mafia

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No one, nothing, has proven the fact that America is all about profits and not the people than the illegitimate presidencies of Donald John Trump. For decades the right-wing has supported special interests and ignored the working class. Trump is openly conspiring with his oligarchs to control the future of our nation for the next 50+ years. YOU CAN HIDE SOME THINGS, SOMETIMES, BUT YOU WILL BE CAUGHT Trump’s financial records show that in his first year of his second term, his businesses made a profit of 1.4 billion dollars. Trump is running our government like one of his personal businesses. America is deeper in debt every month, but his personal account is growing rapidly. Trump is clearly the “Don” of the Washington Mafia. He controls every member of his party. Nothing happens without his approval. He is more than a dictator, he is controlling the most prosperous mafia in U.S. history. 40 YEARS AGO, I ADMITTED THE TRUTH There was a time in my life when I was e...

Hey Paramount: You May Be Oligarchs, but Bari Weiss Was a Huge Mistake: May 60 Minutes and CBS News R.I.P.

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart, I cancelled my Paramount subscription, and refused to watch “60 Minutes” and any other news broadcast on CBS, the minute I learned that Stephen Colbert had been fired. I enjoyed his nightly show, but more importantly, I hated Paramount for violating the First Amendment rights of Mr. Colbert. His humor, focused primarily on the worst president in history, was fair and balanced, unlike this other network calling itself Fox News. He used Trump’s own words and actions to expose America’s Fuhrer. THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS NETWORK IN AMERICA HAS BECOME THE LEAST RESPECTED IN THE INDUSTRY Every news broadcast on CBS is losing ratings, and with it, advertising revenue. The station which was privileged to have Walther Cronkite as its primary journalist has become the joke of the industry. This is what happens when billionaires attempt to control a country, or when a Trump sycophant is in control of any aspect of governance. TWO BROADCASTS I NEVER MISSED ...

Donny Dementia Wins Another Award: The Biggest Liar in Recorded History

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “I’m gonna build a wall on the southern border, and Mexico will pay for it.” “It will just go away.” (Covid-19). “I will end Greedflation on day one.” “I will end the invasion of Ukraine on day one.” “I will prevent another war in the Middle East.”   “No one has ever done more for Black people than me.” “I won the 2020 election.” These are some of the biggest lies told by the worst man in the world. In case you don’t read, these were told by the pathological liar defiling our White House for the second time. His name is Donald Trump, better known in 2026 as Donny Dementia. FOR TRUMP, HIS ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE I despise liars. The only people I find more reprehensible are members of the mainstream media who offer their viewers half-truths. They are far more dangerous than someone who looks directly into the cameras and tells lies so outrageous no one could ever believe them. Over his nearly 80 years, Trump has lied more than one million times....

Supported by the KKK, and the Leader of the Neo-Nazi Movement in America

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart, Before the Constitution was signed in 1789, there was a White America, and a Black America. In the 21 st century, there is a greater division between Blacks and Whites. There are also two more “Americas:” one for the super-rich and powerful, and one for low-income and poor men and women. These four Americas are often intertwined, with the exception of the super-rich and powerful. Not a single man or woman with power and great wealth has been fairly punished for a serious crime in my lifetime. The average income for all incarcerated men and women prior to their convictions is less than $20,000 per year. Think about it. WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN From the time the first settlers arrived in the New World, America has been dominated by working-class Americans. It wasn’t long before they were called “rebels” by the British elite. In truth, it was a badge of honor. These men and women came to the colonies seeking freedoms they had never had in wes...

Everybody Hates Trump: Can You Blame Them?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On what should be a day when our entire nation celebrates the privilege of being a citizen of the United States of America, July 4, 2026, most of our nation will be struggling to purchase food for a family barbecue or picnic. Trump stated one fact, possibly the only truthful words he has spoken in nearly 80 years: “I am not concerned about the finances of the American people.”  It’s always about Trump and only Trump. TRUMP IS PLANNING A CELEBRATION FOR JULY 4 TH , BUT IT’S UNRAVELING RAPIDLY He’s calling it the “Great American State Fair:” another stupid and meaningless name, just like his slogan, “Make America Great Again.” However, it appears that many true and patriotic Americans are refusing to participate in Trump’s circus. Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, Young MC, Morris Day and the Commodores are among the scheduled acts who have said they will not be appearing. I expect that list will grow, and knowing Trump’s historically low approval ratings, I wou...
