Compared to Trump, Joe Biden has been the Greatest President in History

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

President Biden’s accomplishments are many: far more than his three predecessors. However, he would never be called “the greatest president who every served,” unless he is compared to Donald Trump.

Not only did Trump accomplish nothing, not a single positive thing, in four years, he divided our nation and finally, just weeks before his expulsion from the White House, attempted to overthrow our government.

Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene and all of the “MAGA Republicans,” who can also be labeled “The American Fascist Party,” or “The American Nazi Party,” continue to blame the President for our government’s failures to solve our nation’s biggest problems. However, a little civics lesson for these ignorant men and women: it is the right and duty of congress to create and pass legislation, not the executive branch. Mr. Biden can either sign the bills into law, or veto them. Healthcare, Immigration reform, the ridiculously high cost of education, escalating racism, and the suppression of voting rights are serious problems which have been ignored by right-wing politicians since January of 2009. They also refuse to raise the minimum wage, repair social security, protect women from violence, and address the increase in domestic terrorism and the mass shootings which accompany their crimes.

Therefore, it should be no surprise that the Senator from Arkansas who proved himself a traitor just weeks after his election, is supporting Trump in 2024. Tom Cotton made this ludicrous statement on Wednesday, proving that he has no idea how government works.

“When Donald Trump was president, America was safe, strong, and prosperous,” the endorsement read. “The economy was booming, working-class wages were growing, our border was secure, and our enemies feared us. With Joe Biden as president, everything has gone to hell.”

Of course this is completely false. Trump nearly placed our nation in a depression when he failed to address the seriousness of the pandemic. “It will just go away” didn’t work very well. More than one million Americans lost their lives, and the economy crashed. Any economic successes between 2017 and 2021 were the result of programs put in place by President Obama.

If turning over our nation’s secrets to Vladimir Putin made us safer, I demand Cotton explain this to me. The census revealed that working-class wages have declined steadily since the Reagan administration in the 1980s. The borders were less secure. When he stole funding from other agencies to build just a few feet of his wall, they were destroyed or crumbled on their own. This was his only “effort,” and, as he has on every occasion, he failed miserably. As for our enemies and our friends, they all laughed at us between January of 2017 and January of 2021.

Let’s get to the truth. Our nation, specifically our federal government, is corrupt and totally incompetent in 2023 thanks to the “party of no,” created by Moscow Mitch McConnell in January of 2009. Those who call themselves “Republicans” have done nothing positive for the last 14 years. By supporting Trump they offer us proof that they have no interest in doing the job for which they were elected: to serve the American people and improve the quality of their lives.

I am ashamed of my country. All countries are composed of people. The government buildings and those who we elect to serve them in are tools to be used by the people. Unfortunately, they have chosen to rule over us for personal gain. When I say I’m ashamed of my country, I am talking about my fellow citizens. They are ignorant or choose to be ignorant in the 21st century. The have no idea what is happening in the United States of America today. We are engaged in the Second Civil War. The Combatants are MAGA Republicans vs loyal and patriotic Americans such as this 77-year-old-man.

If we lose this war, the dream of our founding fathers will fade into our memories, never to be seen again.

Vote, and vote wisely. All political parties are composed of liars and are dangerous to your future. Only Independents make wise and unbiased decisions.

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
