Big Wins for Democrats on Tuesday

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

Republican’s fascist, anti-women policies are the reasons they suffered huge losses in Tuesday’s elections. Right-wing politicians oppose every issue favored by most of our nation’s people.

June 24, 2022 was one of the darkest days in American history. On this day six Republican-appointed justices overturned a 49-year-old decision by a legitimate Supreme Court known as Roe v Wade. This was a brazen attack on all women, removing protections for their decisions regarding unwanted pregnancies, or pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. These five men and one female religious extremist decided that women were third-class citizens without the right to decide the fate of their personal mental and physical health.

The next day I predicted Republican losses in future elections. Tuesday’s results were symbolic of how America will reject backward thinking Republicans and support forward thinking Independents and Democrats.

This was the leading paragraph in an NPR article this morning.

[In a handful of states with off-year elections, abortion access appeared to be a winning issue for the second general election in a row, even more than a year after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.]

Democrats crushed their right-wing rivals in Kentucky, Ohio, and Virginia. Multiple issues opposed by right-wing politicians passed easily.

Republicans are not only in mourning, to put it bluntly “they are scared to death.” If this is prophecy for 2024, Democrats will retain the presidency, the Senate, and retake the House. Governors in the darkest red states will face unexpected challenges. The larger the voter turnout, the slimmer the chances for Republican victories.

The most haunting victory was in the red state of Ohio. A measure on the ballot amending the state constitution returns the rights of women and their doctors to make decisions about abortions, at least until the fetus is visible in an ultrasound.

Voters are fighting back with the most powerful weapon they possess: their ballots. We must vote in every election and save the future of our forefather’s dreams. We must win this Civil War. Loss is both fatal and unacceptable.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncoming

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have writ

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically biased a
