One Down and a Couple of Dozen to Go?

It is abundantly clear that Trump learned nothing from his first, four disastrous years in the White House. I dare anyone to disagree with me that Trump’s administration is composed of the least qualified, anti-American, and uncaring millionaires and billionaires in our nation. Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Robert Kennedy Jr., Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi and the others are a slap in the face to every man and woman who previously held their positions.

I find Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, the greatest embarrassment of all. Before his confirmation by a corrupt Republican-dominated Senate, he was a part-time Fox personality, and a well-known alcoholic, even while at work, a sexual predator, and a thief who embezzled funds from two organizations he led which served our veterans.

It appears that Hegseth may be the first major member of Trump’s administration to be removed from his position. An anonymous federal official claims that the White House is looking for an individual to replace the worst choice to lead our military in history.

Hegseth’s most recent f**k-ups include open discussions about our country’s military actions in Yemen. The editor of a major news service and his wife were included in the conversations. Our military forces in the area were placed in a dangerous situation because of Hegseth’s breach of protocol and violations of national security.

A real president, elected by the people who believed that he or she would fight for their needs and wishes, would never have selected men and women who will cause enormous harm to the agencies they lead. Once again, Trump is not an American. His refusal to fire Hegseth immediately proves that being surrounded by people who are loyal to him and his fascist agenda are of more value than choosing individuals who have experience and expertise in the jobs he chose for them.

Trump’s administration is truly a “looney bin,” and the inmates are definitely running the asylum.

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 ...

This Supreme Court Did Something Right

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that I have been a frequent critic of the Supreme Court since 2020. I have good reason and a huge responsibility to criticize it for its corruption and political bias. However, when it does the right thing, I also have a responsibility to praise them for their actions. Thanks to a poorly written Second Amendment, which is ambiguous and lacks definition, the NRA gun lobby, paid for by gun manufacturers and gun sellers, has used this one amendment to the Bill of Rights for their own benefit. Gun violence began to escalate in America in 1976, the same year the NRA ceased its purpose as a gun safety organization, and aligned itself with the corporate world. The most recent statistic I found was from 2022. In that one year, 48,117 men, women, and children lost their lives from the use of a gun. Firearm suicide: 26,993 people. Firearm homicide: 19,592 people. Unintentional gun injury: 472 people. Fatal shooting by law enforcement: 649 peo...
