President Biden Honors a Patriotic American and a Real Republican

Anyone who knows anything about American history and our nation’s political system is aware that the men and women who sit on the right side of the aisle in the 21st century are not true Republicans. These pretenders forever abandoned the principles and the ideals of the Grand Old Party on January 20, 2017. This Republican Party has moved so far to the right there is no doubt they support fascism.

One real Republican who proved her love of country by performing the job for which she was elected is Liz Cheney, former Representative from Wyoming, and daughter of former vice-president, Dick Cheney.

Unlike her fellow Republicans, she was not afraid to tell the truth, and accepted a position on the select committee which investigated the events of the darkest day in America, January 6, 2021.

President Biden awarded Ms. Cheney and seven others the Presidential Citizens Medal for outstanding service to their country. She received a much-deserved standing ovation.

I was 35 years old in 1980 when the Republican Party began to change. I and other Independents and some Democratic voters, were fooled and even conned by Ronald Reagan. I found it very difficult to vote for a Republican from that day forward.

The party which fought for small businesses, to limit government’s involvement in the private lives of all American citizens, and supported smaller government no longer exists. Today’s pretenders are the champions of the super-rich and large corporations. They want to control the personal lives of every American, including the right of every woman to make decisions about her own physical and mental health. Project 2025 would give our president powers comparable to the world’s dictators, Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Kim Jong-un, and the Saudi Royal Family. The 922-page document is a fascist manifesto.

I mourn the loss of the former Grand Old Party. Those who claim to be Republicans today are hypocrites and liars. They serve themselves and their masters, not the people of our nation.

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 oncom...

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 ...

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 bias...
