  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “I’m gonna build a wall on the southern border, and Mexico will pay for it.” “It will just go away.” (Covid-19). “I will end Greedflation on day one.” “I will end the invasion of Ukraine on day one.” “I will prevent another war in the Middle East.”   “No one has ever done more for Black people than me.” “I won the 2020 election.” These are some of the biggest lies told by the worst man in the world. In case you don’t read, these were told by the pathological liar defiling our White House for the second time. His name is Donald Trump, better known in 2026 as Donny Dementia. FOR TRUMP, HIS ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE I despise liars. The only people I find more reprehensible are members of the mainstream media who offer their viewers half-truths. They are far more dangerous than someone who looks directly into the cameras and tells lies so outrageous no one could ever believe them. Over his nearly 80 years, Trump has lied more than one million times....

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart, Before the Constitution was signed in 1789, there was a White America, and a Black America. In the 21 st century, there is a greater division between Blacks and Whites. There are also two more “Americas:” one for the super-rich and powerful, and one for low-income and poor men and women. These four Americas are often intertwined, with the exception of the super-rich and powerful. Not a single man or woman with power and great wealth has been fairly punished for a serious crime in my lifetime. The average income for all incarcerated men and women prior to their convictions is less than $20,000 per year. Think about it. WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN From the time the first settlers arrived in the New World, America has been dominated by working-class Americans. It wasn’t long before they were called “rebels” by the British elite. In truth, it was a badge of honor. These men and women came to the colonies seeking freedoms they had never had in wes...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is following his fascist manifesto, Project 2025 closely, proving that he is not only a Nazi, but is indeed the leader of the recently unveiled American Nazi Party. Totalitarian governments cannot exist in a Democracy. Neither Communism nor Fascism can maintain control in a free society. One of the most important components of Fascism is secrecy. It is a well-established fact that Trump’s administration is the most secretive in modern history. However, for your Fuhrer, that is not sufficient. He is now attempting to force all government employees to sign NDA’s, preventing any form of government transparency and what we have learned to know as “whistleblowers.” I have offered my readers one fact for years: “if any politician or employee on Capitol Hill claims that they are unable to answer a direct question for ‘reasons of national security,’ they are definitely hiding a crime committed by them, or one of their constituents. WHY IS TRUMP WORRIED? Trump is b...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have had a very strong opinion about abortion long before I could vote. Decisions to terminate a pregnancy belong to women alone, with the advice of their doctors. Old, white men have no right to make that decision for them, including priests, ministers, pastors, Ra bbis, Imams, and especially not ambitious and corrupt politicians. When Trump’s corrupt Supreme Court repealed Roe v Wade, they made a decision which was nothing less than pandering to Christians, primarily Evangelical leaders. It had nothing to do with undeveloped fetus’, it was purely political and another attack on women’s rights. All humans must own the right to make decisions about their own mental and physical health. MORE FASCIST ATTACKS ON WOMEN FROM TRUMP AND HIS NAZI PARTY On April 28, 2026, Jessica Waters testified before the House Judiciary Committee. For two hours, Ms. Waters was questioned about the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a federal law which Republicans want to rep...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over the last 10 years, the former Republican Party and six corrupt Supreme Court justices exposed themselves, allowing every American to see who they really are. Their loyalty belongs to the worst man in the world; an old, obese traitor who has become the Fuhrer of the United States of America. However, Trump is not the sharpest tool in the shed, and his actions have been so extreme that many of his most loyal supporters are beginning to see the truth. He is a con man: not a good one, but he has the full support of the former Grand Old Party and the majority of the Supreme Court. However, hope is alive. It is very clear today that Democrats and Independents have an excellent chance of taking control of both houses of Congress in November. IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING HAS FALLEN TO AN HISTORICALLY LOW NUMBER Trump’s campaign promises were all lies. The American people are experiencing a steep decline in their quality of life. Inflation continue...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I despise and attempt to eliminate from my life emotions of anger and hatred. I reject all forms of violence including the death penalty, and all wars and invasions. Anger is a waste of time, hate is almost always based on ignorance. Killing another human being is playing God.. There are rare exceptions to hatred, and there is no better example than Donald John Trump. Trump’s entire 325-350 pounds are composed of hatred. He, his administration, his political party composed of Nazis, and all broadcast television networks claiming to be “conservative,” but are in fact propaganda machines for right-wing extremists, constantly spread hatred which eventually breeds violence. His deliberate effort to destroy our nation from within is the reason every true American learned to accept hatred for the orange buffoon. As I grew into adulthood in the 1960’s, I paid more attention to what was happening in Washington. I wasn’t shocked, but I was a little surprised about the an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is a waste of time to read or watch the “news” in 2025. Most of it concerns the evil and destructive actions of the worst man in the world, Donald John Trump. Two days ago, there was another mass shooting in America. This one occurred at Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island. A lone gunman killed two and seriously wounded nine more. However, this will remain the headline for just a single day. Mass shootings in the United States have become commonplace. Since 2017 there have been more mass shootings in America than days on the calendar. However, Trump’s crimes, including murder, sexual depravity, efforts to ethnically cleanse our nation, Constitutional violations, and efforts to enact revenge on anyone he perceives to be an enemy, capture most of the news broadcasts on television, and a large portion of print news and on the internet. My America no longer exists. What was a nation composed of compassion, understanding, and a desire to grow and become ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America has become the land of criminals. For the rich and powerful, laws do not exist. I am not referring to Trump: he is not the only person above the law in 21 st century America. Our country is controlled by Trump and an administration composed of criminals and anti-Americans. His 902 oligarchs have no interest in the welfare of 340 million Americans, they want more money and more power. I am more sad than angry. My younger brother and I were little boys in the 1950’s. I was born in 1946, John in 1948. We were raised by a single mother. I remain grateful that we grew up in the early age of television. This was our only source of entertainment. We watched every John Wayne “B” western, and every movie about WWII more than once. Our days in elementary school began with all of us reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. We didn’t know the word, but we were raised to be patriots. At the age of 10, I came home from school one day, turned on the black and white te...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is THE Schoolyard Bully. He threatens anyone who doesn’t agree with him and then, in typical cowardly fashion,  instructs his minions to fight for him. Trump’s lackies include his Nazi Party, and six corrupt members of the Supreme Court. Yesterday, the Senate met once again to find a way to end what should never have happened in the first place, the longest partial government shutdown in history. Until yesterday, Democrats refused to negotiate until millions of Americans would have their healthcare protected and not experience a huge increase. However, yesterday, eight Democrats surrendered to the Nazis in Washington and ignored the needs and wishes of the American people. I have not and never will be member of any political party. In general, politicians all too often ignore what is right and place future elections ahead of all 340 million people. I am ashamed to say that two of the gang of eight are Senators from my state: Nevada. Catherine Cortez Ma...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you thought our government was in chaos, this is just the beginning. Not a single member of the Trump administration has any idea what they are doing. When their leader is an old, obese, vengeful, mentally challenged, and ignorant loser, what would you expect? Trump is a dictator, but he’s failing at this effort as he has everything else in his life. He and his Nazi Party can say anything they wish about the historic protests on October 18, but the truth lis clear. Real Americans, real patriots, will never live under fascist rule. By the time Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, he had the support of more than 95 percent of the German people. Trump’s supporters are decreasing in number. His support, at the highest estimate, is about 30 percent and in decline. these masked villains are not fully vetted, and many cannot pass drug testing or the physical requirements. The truth is clear: the federal government of the United States has a single purpose today: serve Fuh...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Hitler was without a doubt a madman. He was obsessed with power and control over the future. Today, he would be defined by psychiatrists as both a paranoid schizophrenic, and a malignant narcissist. You might remember a letter signed by 25 of our nation’s most respected mental health authorities, offering their beliefs that Trump is afflicted with malignant narcissism. However, Adolf Hitler was an accomplished artist and a brilliant man who chose tyranny over accomplishments which would benefit all mankind. His fascist playbook, Mein Kampf, details techniques designed to control the masses. It begins with extreme nationalism, and continues with many tactics guaranteed to eventually convince the weak-minded that everything he said was an irrefutable fact. First and foremost, a lie told often enough will eventually be accepted as the truth. We witnessed the use of this method after the 2020 election. Although Trump’s own “Election Czar” told the press that “the 20...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was watching something on television, and the picture moved to what appeared to be one of Trump’s ‘ego-soothing’ cabinet meetings. They have no other purpose because none of them have any idea about what they are doing. I was suddenly reminded of a scene in multiple movies and on the television series, “Succession.” In these films, an elderly billionaire was in poor health, and frequently losing his mental acuity. Family members and close friends were vying for his or her attention while offering unnecessary effusive praise and devotion. Of course, their intent was to receive a large inheritance. Trump’s cronies, acting in the same, exact manner, offered undeserved praise and, without an iota of shame, were vying for his attention. Their goals were to avoid his legendary temper, and obtain a larger share of power resulting in even greater wealth. These men and women are the leaders of your “Republican Party.” Millions of men and women stood up for the future o...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Saturday’s “No Kings” march was glorious and offered hope to all real Americans. The only problems in any city or state during the protest march, came from Trump’s “MAGA” cult. Trump and his ignorant supporters share one belief: if Trump says anything, he is right and everyone else is wrong. If anyone disagrees, they automatically receive anger and hatred. No one dares doubt the alternative facts offered by their Fuhrer. Desperate to protect their master, Republican politicians called this action by millions of real Americans, exercising their First Amendment rights, “a rally by those who hate America.” Stop laughing: it’s not funny. I know Trump and his Nazi Party are not Americans, but they don’t. They live in a world of fantasy and envy. Over the last eight-plus months, Trump has spent most of his time attempting to punish anyone who does not support his fascist plans for our country. This is childish, and reveals an insecure old man who is mentally incapable...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Later today, October 18, 2025, millions of true Americans will be performing the most patriotic act possible in a free country. They will be marching in the streets across America, peacefully protesting against the worst, illegitimate president in history and his many violations of the Constitution of the United States of America. If I were not physically disabled, I would be proud to join them here in Reno. Countries are people, and leaders of all countries have a single purpose: to protect and serve those people. In this country, when they fail to perform the jobs for which they were elected, it is the duty of every American citizen to exercise their First Amendment right and demand change by removing a tyrant from his or her position of power. Trump has proven beyond any doubt that his plan, Project 2025, is to end democracy in our nation and establish a permanent plutocracy/oligarchy in its place, supported by a fascist regime with himself as its Fuhrer. But...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is abundantly clear that Trump is waging a war on the majority of Americans, known as the ‘working class.’ It is no secret that his loyalty is to his oligarchs; 902 billionaires. No indivdual who makes less than $100,000 per year can trust Trump or his party. There is one irrefuttable truth: if you vote for a Republican, you are voting for the continuation of our current plutocracy, and a plutocracy cannot exist in a democratic society. I am proud to have been an Independent voter from the beginning. Eligible in 1967, my first opportunity to cast my ballot was in 1968. The tragic event on June 6, 1968 when Robert F. Kennedy was murdered, forced me to look closely at every candidate, Democratic and Republican. Prior to that dark day, my choice had been clear. I won’t reveal which candidate received my vote, but I will tell you that I questioned why anyone would vote for a party, and not the best candidate. It makes no sense to surrender your precious vot...

OP-ed by TheWiseOldFart You hear it constantly: “the Conservative Agenda.” However, the definition of “Conservative 40 years ago was very different than it is today. Conservative: “(in a political context) favoring free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas.” This was a simple and accurate description of those who sat on the right side of the aisle in the Capitol Building before Ronald Reagan. However, today’s “Conservative Extremists” are in reality fascists. They no longer believe in free enterprise, or “traditional social values.” There are fewer than a handful of true conservatives in Washington today, and they are members of the Democratic Party. Those who sit on the right side of the aisle can call themselves anything: Republicans, the GOP, Conservatives, or anything else. We know the truth. By their leader’s own words and actions, they are members of the American Nazi Party, and their polices are a combination of Mein Kampf and Project 2025. The former ‘G...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, a little advice: don’t get old. I begin with personal observations. On my next birthday, if I get there, I will become an octogenarian. I’m lucky that my brain works as well now as it did decades ago. However, I never thought I’d see the day when I became incapable of simple things like walking out to get the mail, taking out the receptacles on trash day, mowing the lawn, being able to drive a car, washing my sheets and remaking my own bed, and cleaning my shower, among many other normal duties. I’m not good having to rely on my bride to care for me. She has asthma and during Covid-19, I did all the shopping. Today, the best I can do is tag along with her. She does everything for me and never complains. However, this article is not about me, it’s about my country and whether or not it will survive the existence of a fascist who is defiling our White House for a second time. I remember 13 presidents. There were 14 inaugurations but Trump should not be coun...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For more than 10 years I have written thousands of articles for newspapers, blogs, and my own effort, my blog, “TheWiseOldFart,”  to inform the American people of the truth. I feel a great sadness that most of what I offer my readers is about the men who intentionally changed the direction, the future, of a nation called the United States of America, not for good, but for the worse. I learned what patriotism meant when I began attending elementary school in 1952. I was one of the nerds who loved school. Every day at St. Mark’s Elementary School began with me and my fellow students standing, facing the American flag in the corner of the room, and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. My younger brother and I were raised by a single mother. We were poor, but we didn’t know it because we were happy. Television was in its infancy and was our primary source of entertainment when we were inside our one-bedroom apartment. The screen was only nine inches wide and nine ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart All “Republican” politicians are part of what makes America a far worse country than any other in the world. I have a long list of names which prove my allegation, but let me offer a few of the most obvious: Moscow Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Mike Johnson. None of these individuals care about you or me. Since 2017 they offered their loyalty to Trump and Vladimir Putin, ignoring the responsibilities they owe to the voters who made huge mistakes by surrendering to them their valuable votes: the only power average citizens possess. Yesterday a situation arose within the once Grand Old Party which proves that not a single man or woman on the right side of the aisle is worthy of occupying a seat in our federal government. Lindsey Graham has held a seat in the Senate since 2002. Normally, I would say that he “represented the people of South Carolina for the last 23 years.” However, in 2017, Graham abandoned his morals, integr...
