  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I was alive for one-half of the 20 th century. There were great things happening, and great tragedies. New inventions which were both beneficial and destructive. All of this placed America in a position to face the 21 st century. Sadly, it began with controversy and disaster. As we end the first quarter of a new century, what we have experienced so far is not promising. The American people voted in November of 2000 with the intent of choosing a new president to lead us for the next four years. The choices given to us were the previous vice-president, Al Gore, and the son of our 41 st president, George W. Bush. The result was “too close to call.” Weeks after the election one of the greatest travesties in history, a violation of voting rights, happened when a Republican dominated Supreme Court decided the outcome of the election by halting a recount in Florida. Although Al Gore won the popular vote, the unconstitutional Electoral College forced us to

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Fox began to back away from supporting Donald Trump after the January 6 insurrection and the indictments for his felonious actions. However, as ratings continue to drop, and fear and desperation replaced the fake news network’s arrogance, the right-wing propaganda machine is once again focusing their attention on the greatest traitor in American history. It is no secret that the extremists on the right side of the aisle seek repeal of the first amendment, unless it is beneficial for their obscene and anti-American agenda. Fox is claiming that Trump had a right to attempt the overthrow of our government, based on the first amendment in the Bill of Rights. Fox claims that Trump had a right to say “some bad things.” What the f**k is happening in this nation? We are devolving into the dark ages when a small group of very rich men controlled our government and the future of our country. If Franklin D. Roosevelt had not become our president, the end of the

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump has always believed that he is above the law. His life of crime is fraught with tales of financial crime and sexual misconduct. During the 2016 campaign he claimed that he “could shoot someone in Times Square and nothing would happen.” In 2018 and 2021, Moscow Mitch McConnell offered Trump proof that he was indeed above the law when he refused to conduct a fair trial after he was impeached twice by the House. In past articles I have proven that America’s entire justice system is broken from the cops on the street to the current biased Supreme Court. The rich and powerful are never treated fairly by law enforcement, or the courts. I only need to offer one situation to prove my allegation involving Donald John Trump. On January 6, 2021, he committed treason and yet he remains a free man. Later it was confirmed that he was hiding classified documents, including those related to nuclear power, in violation of the Espionage Act, the same act which was
