Haley’s Out, but She Continues to Win Votes

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Nebraska held its primary elections on Tuesday. There were no big surprises; Trump and Biden won as expected. However, one result which interested me appears to be a trend for the GOP.

Last week, in Indiana, Trump won the majority, but Nikki Haley received 21.7 percent of the vote, although she suspended her campaign weeks ago.

Tuesday, with most of the votes counted, Haley had received 18 percent of votes from Nebraska Republicans. She remains in the public eye although she hasn’t made a campaign speech for a long time.

It is no longer an assumption: thousands of Republican voters are defecting from Trump’s cult. Is there hope for an end to the boring and destructive appearances by the worst illegitimate president in history? I freaking hope so.

HALEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED, BUT SHE IS THE BEST THE RIGHT-WING HAS TO OFFER: BY FAR

I have been asking myself a question for months. I’m not sure what the answer is because this “Republican Party” is without rules, morals, and considers itself above the law.

What will happen when the Republican National Convention takes place on July 15th, and Trump is unable to attend because he is in a federal prison, or he has a mental or physical breakdown? Who would these incompetent men and women nominate? Is there a succession in place? Could Nikki Haley lose every primary but win the nomination?

THE SUPREME COURT COMPLETES THE TRIFECTA: IT IS NOW AS CORRUPT AS EVERYONE ELSE IN WASHINGTON

These are realistic possibilities. I do know one thing: what should have happened did not. The Supreme Court refused to honor the 14th Amendment and allow states to remove Trump’s name from the ballot. There is no doubt that he is guilty of planning and executing an insurrection.

Although this biased and corrupt Court failed to perform the jobs for which they were confirmed, I know that Trump is guilty of treason: I watched him in action. I know that he violated the Espionage Act: I watched the raid on Mar-a-Lago when the FBI found boxes of national secrets. He previously lied to the FBI, claiming he returned all of them, and that in itself is a violation of federal law. However, he is clearly above the law, according to six of the nine justices. America’s Justice Department is the most corrupt in the world. America is broken.

A final note: I miss the Grand Old Party. As an Independent, my choices have become limited.

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
