(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 After respected tech companies agreed with my allegation that the 2024 election was rigged by Putin, again, I no longer have a single doubt that Trump is once again an illegitimate president. I also believe that once again our government was aware that Putin would spend millions of dollars to influence the results. My question began with the “experts” claiming that Trump won all seven swing states. Impossible. The tech companies claim that Russian hackers gained access to the voting machines in all seven states. Most importantly, four years of watching Trump commit crimes could not have resulted in such extremes between the 2020 and 2024 elections. One issue has never been discussed on the internet, or as far as I know on the television news. Was sex once again an issue in the 2024 election as it was in 2016? It is no secret that the United States is the most prejudiced and bigoted country in the world of developed nations. These are the two reasons why America ...

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...

First, two facts which cannot be denied by any person with common sense who faces reality. All religions are cults, and all governments are bad: some worse than others. I have long made the claim that at least one half of all Americans are ignorant; not because they lack basic intelligence, but because they choose ignorance. It is too difficult for them to look at facts and make intelligent decisions based on the truth. This is why religions exist. Most people are sheep in need of a sheppard. The only time professional politicians pretend to listen to the voting public is during an election year. They will say and do anything to remain in office. Washington politicians live lives of power and privilege incomparable to any other profession in our country. Their aides do all the work. They are far too busy campaigning and begging for contributions for their next election to perform the jobs for which they were elected. When religious zealots and ambitious politicians unite, they intentio...

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...

The government of the United States is the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. Now that this fact has been disclosed, let’s go back to election year 2024. A single story was reported early in 2024 which was never revealed during the remainder of a critical election year. The FBI reported massive efforts by Vladimir Putin and the best hackers in the world to interfere in our upcoming election; for the third time. Your corrupt government was complicit and refused to inform the voting public of this egregious attack on our democracy. Over the remaining nine months, Trump was crushed in the single debate between the leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America, and Kamala Harris, attendance at his hate rallies was in rapid decline, while Ms. Harris was filling stadiums in swing states, and speaking about the issues; telling the truth. In 2016 the majority of Putin’s efforts to place his puppet in the White House were on social media, the worst thing to happen to the truth in world his...

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...

    Politicians all lie, and the most ridiculous of all is the claim that America is the “greatest country in the world.” America is not even close. In a study of 15 developed nations, the United States is rated poorly in most categories. In the most important category, ‘quality of life,’ our nation was rated 15 th . It is obvious that politicians and the super-rich believe that the U.S. is the most ‘important country in the world.’ Arrogance is a trait which defines all politicians and all of our nation’s 756 oligarchs/billionaires. The facts prove that between 2017 and 2021 America lost its status in the world. Trump has made a laughingstock out of a once respected and admired nation. However, Trump and ‘his people’ don’t care. They think they are more important than anyone else on the planet. As I predicted, long before the 2024 campaign season began, Trump is now a dictator with no resemblance to any legitimate president other than himself. In collusion with Elon Mus...

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...
