No One, not Democrats or Republicans, Have any Faith or Trust in Washington Politicians

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

Several members of my family who have supported a more conservative agenda throughout their lifetime, no longer trust either political party in Washington. Although I remain an Independent, I find it impossible to support any man or woman in Washington who claims to be a Republican. The Party of Lincoln met its final demise in January of 2017.

The truth is that I no longer have faith in any politician in Washington. The very fact that both political parties allowed a man who hates America to become our 45th president is unforgivable. This was final proof that politicians protect each other, the people must fend for themselves.

Crime in every form exists on Capitol Hill. Corruption is rampant and we continue to experience a dysfunctional government.

Let me give you a small example which is actually a “big deal.”

When a Fisher Price product began killing dozens of babies, it went unreported by our government. They were aware of the danger. However, a stipulation in recall legislation protects the “reputation” of large and once respected companies and nothing was done. Only an exposure by the non-profit “Consumer Reports” forced the media to inform parents of the product’s danger to their infants.

Is this the right way to run a country, a government which places corporations in priority over its people? I think not.

Most Americans waste the only power they have over an incompetent and uncaring group of men and women who are charged with running our nation. Most votes are cast based on lies told in television commercials, or by the fake media like Fox News. However, the mainstream media fails us as well. During the 2015/2016 campaign season all networks gave Trump five times more coverage than all other candidates combined. They also admitted that they supported Trump. Coverage of Hillar Clinton was primarily involved with the fake FBI investigation into her private e-mails and the fact that she had a bad cold.

Trust no one, and understand that no politician deserves your respect. The few who did are long buried, and would be ashamed of all 545 men and women taking up space in Washington today.

I Want You to Think About the Reasons for, and the Reality of Domestic Terrorism

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   From FBI Director Christopher Wray: “Domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people.” Everyone remembers the name Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995 where 168 innocents were murdered, 19 of them small children. The media reported stories about Ted Kaczynski, dubbed “The Unabomber,” for 17 years, beginning in 1978. However, domestic terrorism is much more common in our country than reported by the media. Large events receive the headlines, but mass shootings continue to happen more frequently than the number of days on the calendar. After the cowardly attacks on 9/11, Republican politicians misdirected the facts related to domestic terrorism and focused their attacks on all Muslims, insinuating that they were all enemies of the United States. The truth is that the greatest danger lies within our own people, and it is related to uncontrolled gun violence and the greed of those involved in their manufacture and sales

One Very Serious and Critical Question: Why Do Republicans Hate America?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is an irrefutable fact that today’s pseudo-Republicans hate the principles of our Founding Fathers, and have no interest in the future of the American People. Studies prove that they are opposed to every issue favored by the majority. The leader of their party is a lifelong criminal, a sexual predator, a fascist, the biggest traitor in American history, and the worst American president by far. I couldn’t make this s**t up. The truth is that the real Republican Party began to implode in 1981. Trump and his followers completed its demise in 2017, and it will never return. The ideals and principles of the former Grand Old Party are dead and forgotten. Today’s group has moved so far to the right they have embraced the ideas of fascism. Human rights, liberty and justice for all, and the ideals of understanding and compassion have long been forgotten. Money is their only god, and support from the wealthiest five percent of our nation’s people is priority number o

Why my Wife Wants to Move to Canada

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I continue to claim that after four years of an illegitimate Trump presidency, the United States is one election away from becoming a fascist regime. A Republican win by any of their unqualified men or women in 2024 would signal the end of my America. Our neighbor to the north is already making preparations for the time when our government surrenders 330 million people to a dictator. [Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has been considering a "game plan" for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year's presidential election.] If I haven’t reported enough information to create an atmosphere of fear over the last 10 years, my efforts have failed. Maybe the fact that Canada is taking steps to thwart the effect of an autocratic society to its south will awaken some of the uninformed. Here’s the way I see it, tell me if I’m wrong. About 30-40 percent of all Americans c
