What is Trump’s War Doing for You and Those You Love?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

No citizen of any nation wants their country to be engaged in a war. However, in America, our illegitimate president began a war with Iran on February 28th. We should have been prepared. During the 2016, campaign, Trump told his ignorant cult, “I love war, even the nuclear kind.”

Trump has never studied history, and therefore never learned from the mistakes of our past. Since WWII our government and the Pentagon have lost four wars: Iran will make it five.

FACTS: OUR MILIIARY IS FIVE TIMES LARGER THAN ALL OTHER NATONS COMBINED, AND FIVE TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE

For decades, watchdog groups claim that 50 cents of every dollar received by the Pentagon goes to waste. However, our corrupt legislature votes to increase the military budget every year. 10 years ago,, the Pentagon received 585.3 billion dollars. Trump is asking Congress to approve a 2027 budget of 1.15 trillion dollars.

We are not getting what we paid for. Our military leaders have become entirely political and this is a disaster.

During his farewell address to the American people, the architect of D-Day, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, warned our nation’s people about the growth of the military industrial complex.

War is good business, but bad for anyone not invested in the building of war machines.

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 ...

In the Most Diverse Nation in the World, DEI is the Right Thing to Do

Image
Why is Trump determined to crush any efforts to implement a policy of DEI in American business? Simple. He is a Nazi and the leader of the white supremacist movement in America. He was raised to believe that whites were the persecuted race and men and women of color were attempting to take control of our nation. Trump’s idols are the worst men in history, including Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and the Cown Prince of Saudi Arabia; Mohammad bin Salman. He studied Hitler’s speeches every night. It is true that none of this can be proven. However, several individuals claimed that Trump’s father, “Fred Trump,” attended KKK rallies. What is undeniable fact involves Fred Trump’s real estate empire. Rental agents employed by Trump’s apartments were instructed to place a large red “C” at the top of any applications submitted by men and women of color. Trump worked for his father in these buildings after he received his diploma, obviously purchased by his father, from Wharton Business College. ...

When a Traitor is Chosen to Lead Your Nation

Image
I can’t forget it. For three hours I remained horrified as a group of thugs and villains obeyed the orders of their demagogue and violently attempted to destroy a democratic process which would become the end of America. I asked myself over and over again, “where is our military?” Countries spend fortunes on large armiesfor a single purpose: to protect their nation and their people from enemies, foreign and domestic. For three hours, in what is now the darkest day in American history, Trump did nothing with the exception of the same thing I and my wife were doing, watch the television as an act of pure treason was occurring inside our nation’s Capitol. Trump’s Nazi army was intent on accomplishing their orders: kill Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. What didn’t happen after the television cameras were turned off was even more disturbing. What happened was “nothing.” When the insurrection, the attempted coup, failed, the men and women who continue to seek the end of the United States of Amer...
