What is Merrick Garland Doing?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump has violated the Constitution and civil laws more than any other man in history. He has no shame, morals, and no conscience. His violations of federal law include the two most egregious crimes against our nation: treason and sedition.   Why Hasn’t Merrick Garland Issued a Warrant for his Arrest?   Anyone who watched the insurrection on January 6, 2021, witnessed the darkest day in our nation’s history. Over three hours my wife and I watched “Trump’s People,” members of Neo-Nazi groups and their sympathizers commit acts of violence as they searched for Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi with the intent of murdering them.   There was no other word which came to mind other than treason. To learn that a sitting president had planned, organized, and executed an attempted coup did not seem real, did not seem possible.   In 1955 the Rosenbergs were executed for the same crime committed by your former fake president.   It was no secret that Trump stole 14 boxes of

Tired of the Supreme Court S**ting on the Constitution?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The right-wing politicians in our legislative branch have been s**ting on the Constitution for years. Now that Moscow Mitch McConnell has stacked the Supreme Court, they are following the lead of the fascist brethren. As a patriotic American, I am fed up with all men and women who claim to be “Republicans.” HOW CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The only way to save our nation is to establish term limits for all three branches of our government. This should have been the law from the beginning. Washington politicians, all three branches, have become greedy and power mad, and yet they do virtually nothing. It was a huge mistake to give lifetime appointments to Supreme Court Justices. In 2024 we have six of nine justices who are woefully unqualified, and we, the people, have no way of removing them. They could damage our nation’s future for decades to come. MANY CHANGES IN MY LIFETIME HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD FOR AMERICA I have watched changes in America’s government for 67 of my 77

Supreme Court Poised to Invalidate the Constitution and Declare Treason “Just Another Riot”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Supreme Court of the United States has lost all credibility. After voiding a decision by a respected Court which served our nation diligently 49 years ago, these pretenders continue to void the Constitution in favor of the fascists on the right side of the aisle. They would like you to believe that only a Constitutional Scholar can accurately interpret the Law of the Land. This is a great falsehood. The truth is these pretenders appointed by the right are attempting to justify their own unconstitutional actions. Read Section three of the 14 th Amendment carefully. [No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the

Ambiguous? I Don’t Think So

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   “No person shall ... hold any office, civil or military, under the United States ... who, having previously taken an oath ... as an officer of the United States ... to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” The former is from section 3 of the 14 th Amendment. I don’t understand why, but there are some self-proclaimed political and Constitutional experts claiming that this part of our Constitution does not apply to Donald Trump, although he planned, and organized, an insurrection on January 6, 2021 with the intent of preventing a democratic process underway in the Capitol Building. Anyone who watched the three long hours when Trump’s “army,” composed of Neo-Nazis and others who hate the nation of our Founding Fathers, stormed the Capitol, smashed windows, broke down doors, defecated on Nancy Pelosi’s desk, and searched the building with th

This List Proves that Trump Never Was an American President

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   On November 8, 2016, Trump secured a win in the Electoral College with the assistance of Vladimir Putin, James Comey, and the mainstream media. His presidency was illegitimate. I never once referred to him as “President.” From day one he committed violations against the Constitution including a ban on all Muslims with the exception of those from Saudi Arabia, and violating the Emoluments Clause. He was impeached for the first time when he attempted to bribe the leader of a foreign nation, and a second time when he organized, planned, and executed a failed coup while still in office in 2021. On both occasions Republican Senators gave him a free pass, finding him not guilty. The truth reveals that Trump is above the law, and proves that America is biased in favor of the rich and powerful. We have become a lawless nation. Although he learned about a threat to the American people in December of 2019, he refused to anything about an approaching coronavirus, telling

By Definition, Trump Cannot be on the Ballot in 2024

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Section three of the 14 th Amendment prevents Trump’s name from being placed on any ballot for any office in 2024. There is undeniable proof that he, in collusion with members of his party, and leaders of several Neo-Nazi groups, planned, organized, and executed the insurrection on January 6, 2021. [What is the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment? The central argument in the Minnesota and Colorado cases is the same — that Section Three of the 14th Amendment bars from office anyone who previously swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” against it.] The following is a description of what occurred on January 6 th . The definition of “insurrection.” “A violent uprising against an authority or government.” Case closed. If he is not convicted on all counts, there is no justice in the United States. The same will be true when he is tried for stealing classified documents. The Rosenbergs were executed in 1955 for very similar

Sentencing for Proud Boys Leader Places Trump Closer to Residence in a Federal Prison.

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Proud Boy Chairman Enrique Tarrio Gets 22 Years For Orchestrating The January 6th Insurrection. What does this mean for Trump? If the allegation that he organized and executed the failed coup, his sentence could be much longer, and by observation of his physical and mental decline, this would mean life in prison. I am sick and tired of anyone referring to the darkest day in America’s history as a “protest.” My wife and I watched all three hours of an American tragedy, and this was nothing less than an attempted coup: the end of American democracy. I don’t give a damn if you support those on the right side of the aisle or the left, it was an insurrection, organized, planned, and executed by America’s 45 th president. No punishment is too serious. This is the only thing I never imagined in my lifetime. In my 77 years I have met a number of individuals who are not entirely loyal to their country. A nation as diverse as ours is required to entertain thousands of
