  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump believes that all American are like his supporters: stupid. Am I the only writer who noticed that Trump has a tactic which is obvious, but ignored by the mainstream media? In 2016, he accused Hillary Clinton’s team of attempting to rig the election. Undeniable facts prove that Trump and Putin rigged the election. Trump incessantly called President Biden “Sleepy Joe,” referring to his age. However, it was Trump who fell asleep at his own criminal trial in New York repeatedly. On November 5, 2024, Trump became the oldest man ever elected to the presidency, and is displaying signs of dementia and physical decline. He does this every time the press or law enforcement moves closer to the truth that he is a lifetime criminal. Trump’s latest effort returns to the 2016 election. Irrefutable evidence links Trump and Putin, and alleges that they conspired to rig the election. Eric Prince, the leader of Blackwater, an organization of mercenaries for hire, and b...

(I didn’t plan for this to be so long.)   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Although the event’s beginning was two years earlier in Moscow, on June 16, 2015 an old, obese, failed and crooked businessman took the long ride down several escalators inside Trump Tower on 5 th Avenue in New York. He could have taken the elevator. However, he was and is afflicted with a mental disease called “malignant narcissism.” His greatest need, soothing an inflated ego, required him to make what he believed was a ‘grand entrance.’ The man with orange skin was about to announce his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2016. Personally, I found the staged event comical. I knew a little about Donald John Trump, and his entire life was a caricature of a man in search of power and great wealth. He had never accomplished anything for another human being in his pitiful life. He celebrated his 69 th birthday on June 15, and the biggest joke should have been the fact that a 70-year-old...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s an old, and sometimes successful tactic, albeit temporary. However, desperation makes the guilty take any action to avoid closer inspection by the authorities and the American people. Trump and his incompetent supporters are attempting to move the discussion about Trump’s very close relationship to Jeffrey Epstein out of the light of day with attacks on real Americans. Anyone who follows what happens in Washington, simply reading the headlines or seriously engaged in efforts to find the truth, will tell you that Tulsi Gabbard is a moron seeking attention and relevance without success. Gabbard is a Trump worshiper, and is suggesting that the investigation into collusion between Trump and Putin in the 2016 election was a fabrication created by President Obama. Of course this is completely false. However, she is desperately attempting to misdirect the attention Trump is receiving for his many crimes in 2025 and in the past. Let’s get right to it. A plethora of...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America is a nation without laws which are fair and just. The Department of Justice and the Attorney General are no longer independent from the Executive Branch and serve their Fuhrer, not the 340 million people who are the United States of America. When Trump was allowed to become America’s 45 th president on January 20, 2017, I knew something wasn’t right. The greatest failure and least qualified man in history could not have defeated the most qualified presidential candidate in history. When we were allowed to know that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump, everything began to make sense. Months later, when I learned that a meeting was held in the Oval Office between Obama, Biden, the leaders of both political parties, and the heads of every security agency in America, and the purpose was to confirm Putin’s deep involvement, I became angry. My anger turned into rage when I discovered that the meeting took place one month befor...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Professional politicians continue their baseless claims that America is the greatest, richest, and most envied country in the world. Of course these are all lies. The quality of life for the majority of all Americans is not on our government’s list of priorities. Here are some of the reasons the United States is last in quality of life on a list of developed nations. Worst Healthcare in the World. It is true that America has some of the best doctors and healthcare equipment in the world. However these services are only available to about 10 percent of our nation’s people: millionaires and billionaires. Ours is the only nation without universal healthcare for all. If Trump’s “Big, Beautiful, Bill” is passed, at least 50 million men, women, and children will lose the minimal healthcare they have today. Education is No Longer a Priority Nearly every other democratic nation offers its citizens free or affordable higher education. Every year some of our finest minds ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On a quiet Sunday morning, in one of the most beautiful places on  earth, a fascist dictator launched a cowardly attack which would alter the future of the entire world. In Europe, a ruthless and ambitious dictator was invading nation after nation and replacing democratic governments with fascist rule. On December 7, 1941, Hawaii was an American territory. It would not become a state until 1959. However, the Emperor of Japan knew that a large percentage of America’s naval forces were docked in one place, and a single, carefully planned attack would cripple or destroy a devastating number of ships designed for war. The next day, the greatest President in American history, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, announced that the United States would join our allies in the fight to defeat fascism. On that day, the end of WWII had begun. When the bullets stopped flying, and bombs no longer ravaged structures and took the lives of innocent men, women, and children, in what m...

From 1789 until today, our government promised its citizens “free and fair elections.” For the most part, it was a promise kept until 2000. Beginning in 1981, the ugliest profession became increasingly vile and destructive. The ambitions of professional politicians drove our two political parties into a frenzy, placing reelection ahead of the public interest. The desire for power replaced any intent to “do the right thing” for the people of their country. Before I continue, let me repeat myself. The two reasons our legislative branch is dysfunctional are supported by fact, and are undeniable. Our Founding Fathers admitted to the imperfection of their efforts at the Constitutional Convention. Letters after its completion written by Jefferson, Madison, Adams, and others confirmed their naivete. They believed that their successors would improve upon what they had begun, and the results would become the creation of the greatest country in the world. Unfortunately, that never happened. I ha...

I have long been aware that the first meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putin was in Moscow in 1987. The 41-year-old business failure was desperate to save his future. When he received an invitation from the KGB to come to Moscow, he and his first wife, Ivana, eagerly accepted the invitation. As you would expect, there are no records of the time they spent in the Russian capital. However, we do know that in the late 1980’s Putin was a high-ranking member of the spy agency, and a rising star in Russian politics. Between 1987 and 2013, there is no proof that the two men met again in person. However, when Trump’s real estate business began to fail during the time he was in Moscow, and continued into the 1990’s, Russian oligarchs began to invest in his New York and Florida properties and he was rescued from a bankruptcy and the likely demise of his “empire.” Then, in 2013, under the guise of taking the Miss Universe Pageant to Moscow, Trump once again traveled to the Russian capital. A fo...

Okay, before you go ballistic about my title, I have a preponderance of evidence which proves that white men are the reason for American never becoming a “great country.” (Trump is simply the worst of the worst). Fact number one: most men my age who are white hold onto prejudices they had when they were much younger. Our generation was about “success,” and success meant making lots and lots of money. We were taught to be “politically correct,” at least in public. Christianity was the only valid religion. Black people possessed a lower level of intelligence than whites. And women were expected to “remain in their place.” One more thing: any type of sexual relationship other than heterosexual was forbidden by the leaders of every Christian religion. They preached their hate messages every time they stood behind a pulpit. Until the age of 16, most of my life was surrounded in an atmosphere of white privilege. In my last year of parochial education, there was a single Black student in the ...

Our government is a combination of two words which should never be used for men and women who control the future of America: incompetent and corrupt. I know it and they know it. After Putin stole the 2016 and 2024 elections for Trump, they not only ignored the truth, they hid it, fearing that all of our nation’s people would know the truth about their inability to accomplish anything. The mainstream media colluded with these failed elected men and women, and they are responsible for destroying the essence of the United States of America. In 2016, Russian agents spent millions of dollars on social media attacking Hillary Clinton. It was effective. A lower than expected turnout in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin allowed Trump to win the Electoral College, although he was crushed in the popular vote, the only vote which should decide the future of 340 million people. Okay, everyone who reads, refusing to “learn everything they need to know from television, is aware of the previous f...

Let’s take a look back into the dark days of the first illegitimate Trump administration. The connections between Trump, his “people,” and Vladimir Putin were undeniable, and supported by “Republican” politicians. From August of 2016 until election day, the man who financed Trump’s campaign was Robert Mercer. Mercer is a billionaire whose closest friends include Russian oligarchs. He is the primary supporter of the right-wing extremist blog and radio broadcast, “Breitbart.” Two years after the illegitimate election, it was confirmed that Trump and Putin were in constant contact during the 2016 campaign. The plan to win the presidency began in Moscow in 2013. Trump’s first Secretary of State was Rex Tillerson. Tillerson formerly held the position of CEO in the Exxon Corporation. More significantly, he was close friends with Vladimir Putin, and conducted many business arrangements with the Russian President. Tillerson received the highest honor a civilian can receive who is not a Russian...

Everyone who claims to “work” in Washington is useless, corrupt, and a waste of taxpayer money. However, there is a single thing we can always count on from these cowards: they will never “do the right thing.” Let me use two examples of how I learned that the government of the United States of America would be overpaid if they worked for nothing. One month before the 2016 election, a meeting was held in the White House. The meeting came at the request of the leaders of all 18 security agencies. In attendance were President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Moscow Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi. The purpose of the meeting was to confirm the fact to our nation’s leaders that Vladimir Putin was interfering in our upcoming election in support of Donald Trump. However, our gutless leaders decided that the voting public had no right to learn the truth. The result was Trump becoming our 45 th and illegitimate president. Our government has ignored the fact that they ar...

 

I have feelings of overwhelming sadness today. I woke up this morning thinking about my life and how it was so very different from the obese old Nazi is now pretending to be your president. Trump was born on June 15, 1946. The day I came into this world was just three weeks later on July 7, 1946. Our paths never crossed. Trump’s path led him into the depths of everything which is wrong with the world today. He was born into a world of wealth and extreme white privilege and taught to hate anyone who was not like him. Money was his family’s god and achieving greater wealth was the family’s only goal. My family was probably considered poor when I was born in Lewiston, Idaho. However, my mother’s family was very warm and loving. The Catholic Church was at the center of their lives, and they lived according to those deep beliefs in what they were taught, a high moral standard, unbreakable principles, and respect for others,  The word “hate” was not in their vocabulary. Now that both of ...

        In the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, our Founding Fathers laid the groundwork for what would be the Constitution of the United States of America. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-“ The men who created the United States of America were in denial, ignoring their own failures to “put their money where their mouths were.” Most of them owned slaves, and obviously did not consider them equal to white men and women. When framing the Constitution between 1787 and 1789 during the Constitutional Convention, an agreement was made to protect the practice of owning slaves, primarily in the southern states. The Second Amendment was written for two reasons. First, to guarantee the availability of organizing an a...
