I Have Nothing To Say

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

I woke up this morning, booted up my laptop, and began to scan the headlines, as usual. I looked for information I did not know, or fully understand. I found nothing to write about on this Thursday morning. I have read or written these same stories multiple times. The names have changed, but the crimes against our country and humanity in general remain the same.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump remains topical, not for anything he has accomplished, but for his most recent criminal activities. George Santos, who is the most illegitimate member of Congress in history, remains in office. His constituents decided not to remove him, although he has been charged with multiple felonies, like the previous criminal in this paragraph. Alabama’s “chosen son,” Tommy Tuberville, continues to reveal what happens when ignorant voters select a former football coach with no experience in a normal lifestyle, to represent them in the Senate. War rages on in the Middle East, a situation which has existed in some manner throughout my lifetime. Everyone lies, especially if their occupation is listed as “politician.” Lastly, no one with great wealth and/or power has ever been justly punished for their crimes.

Everyday life in America has remained the same. Our failed mainstream media reports several mass shootings, failing to challenge our dysfunctional government for refusing to do anything about the rise in domestic terrorism. The gap in income inequality continues to widen, and “Greedflation” remains a problem for the vast majority of our nation’s people, harming seniors on a fixed income the most. Organized religion continues to be the greatest danger to peace in America and to the future of the world.

The only “news” is that half of our government is no longer hiding the fact that they would shred the Constitution and institute a fascist regime if allowed to do so. Neo-Nazi groups are no longer hiding in the shadows. They are now part of our daily life, and accepted by right-wing politicians.

I have nothing new to tell you. The truth is out there if you turn off your “boob tube” and read.

Have a nice day.

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
