“For Reasons of National Security”

 

 

 

When any politician offers this excuse whenever they don’t want to answer a direct question: I can’t answer that “for reasons of national security,” you know they’re hiding something, and that something is not good.

All politicians are professional liars. It begins with their campaigns. They make promises they never intend to keep. They will say anything to get your vote, but when elected forget you exist.

Let’s get to the truth. In a Democratic Republic, the people elect men and women to represent their needs and wishes. However, in the 21st century we elect rule over us, refusing to serve us. The truth is simple and opposes the intents of our Founding Fathers: politicians consider themselves better and more worthy of living the “American lifestyle” than their constituents. Fascism is alive and well in D.C.

It is no longer a secret: America’s federal government is the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. Look at history.

Ronald Reagan lied to everyone. After he was inaugurated, he exposed himself as a dictatorial leader, and began waging wars against the working class, minorities, women, and all non-Christians.

Reagan and George H.W. Bush lied to the American people about the Iran-Contra scandal.

George W. Bush lied to the American people, congress, and the United Nations, falsely claiming that Iraq was harboring weapons of mass destruction for Al Qaeda. He attempted to hide the cost of two unwinnable wars by omitting them from the annual budget.

Donald Trump made thousands of promises to his supporters. Over the period between 2017 and 2021, there is no record of a single, positive accomplishment. His “claim to fame” was giving permanent tax cuts to the super rich, exactly like his three Republican predecessors. He violated the Constitution daily, Trump ignored the Emoluments Clause. He continued to operate his businesses, including those with foreign nations. While the majority of Americans struggled during the pandemic, his business interests experienced a profit of more than 2.4 billion dollars.

I don’t need to mention the fact that he committed treason on January 6, 2021, and violated the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021, an act punishable by death.

Trump 2.0 has already been 100 times worse.

What can we expect in the following weeks? Nothing good.

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 ...

“The Economy is in ‘Pretty Good Shape?’”

Image
Bessent is not quite a billionaire, yet, but he is a perfect example of how ignorant Trump’s administration is. Scott Bessent is Trump’s unqualified Treasury Secretary. He is not one of the billionaires on Trump’s cabinet, but he is worth 521 million dollars. This one fact prevents the old, white man from understanding what it is to be a real American in the 21 st century. What they're saying: "There is a little uncertainty, but in general, the companies I've spoken to, CEOs, who have come into Treasury tell me that the economy is very solid," Bessent said at a conference hosted by the American Bankers Association. Really? Nobody asked me. I can offer you one fact, one example of how ignorant this Trump stooge actually is. My wife and I worked for about 40 years each. We chose our professions badly. The only retirement income we have is what we paid for: our Social Security. In January we received a 2.5 percent increase in our monthly checks. However, the cost of nec...
