If you read my rants frequently, you know that I never have and never will refer to Trump as my president. He is not an American by definition, and he will never serve all 340 million Americans. He will care for the citizens in states which elected him and rule over the rest. Without a single qualification, no experience, including the time between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021, and no desire to perform the duties required by his job description, he does not deserve respect from any real American. Respect and trust must be earned, not given freely, and he has never accomplished anything in his 78 years and seven months, which resulted in a positive result for anyone other than himself. I live in a swing/purple state. Here in Nevada, I feel a lot of tension. Trump caused more harm to America in four years than I imagined. I predicted a great division, and massive destruction. However, he was far worse than I believed possible. His last year was his worst. He refuses to read anyt...

If you doubt that Trump is following orders from Putin and will destroy our nation’s values, read some of the headlines from today, December 8, 2024. “Trump will 'most likely' pardon Capitol rioters on Day 1 and says Jan. 6 committee members should be jailed.” This from America’s biggest traitor. “Trump calls for immediate Ukraine ceasefire.” This would be a big advantage for Russia. Ukraine is winning the invasion. “Fact check: Trump, repeating old lies on ‘Meet the Press,’ falsely claims US is the only country with birthright citizenship.” Trump wants to revoke another part of the Constitution. “Trump focuses on tariffs, not retribution, in first network TV interview.” If you believe this, I have a bible, printed in China, which you can buy for a mere $500. “Trump is stacking his White House roster with uber-rich backers.” No surprise here. He is owned by Russian oligarchs and American plutocrats. These happened in one day, and they are far less destructive than what Trump wi...

  I reject organized religion. However, I believe the New Testament of the Bible should be read by every person on the planet. Whether you believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, or a prophet, His teachings about how to live a more spiritual life are perfect. What is most interesting about the New Testament is that the lessons to be learned are also contained in the Quran. The Prophet Mohammad and Jesus Christ could have been brothers. Unfortunately, the obese, old man who will be defecating in our White House next January is undoubtedly the “Anti-Christ.” His message to the men and women he refers to as “basement dwellers” contain the opposite meanings in the teachings of Mohammad and Jesus. He preaches fear, anger, hatred, vengeance, and violence, not love, compassion, and understanding. It is impossible for any man or woman to believe and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and live a life of crime and debauchery. Trump had the full support of Evangelical leaders ...

  What is the role of a U.S. President? Until 2017, this was what was expected from our nation’s leader. [The authors of the U.S. Constitution only sketched a loose outline of the presidency when they defined the federal government in 1787. They expected the first presidents to work out the details of the job with Congress and the Supreme Court. As a result, the first officeholders helped shape the way presidents make decisions, fight wars, work with Congress, add territory to the country, and even entertain.] Let’s begin with his personal life. Trump is a man without morals or principles. He is a registered serial philanderer, having cheated on all three of his trophy wives. It was recently revealed and confirmed that he attended parties with his “best friend,” Jeffrey Epstein, for 10 years. This proves that Trump is one of the most disgusting sexual predators of all time. Trump operated his businesses in the same manner as his marriages. He lied, cheated, and stole among ot...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For 78 years I thought I had grown up in a country where principles, morals, and things as simple as the truth and doing the right thing were as American as loving your mother, apple pie, and patriotism. However, since 2017, I have watched all the values which define what it is to be an American spit on and flushed down the toilet by every man and woman who calls themselves a Republican in Washington. It is an undeniable fact that Trump is not the chairman of the GOP, he is in fact a dictator. With free thought forbidden from anyone on the right side of the aisle, whatever Trump demands from his minions is automatic. Because Trump is clearly a fascist devoted to the leader of another nation, he cannot claim his American citizenship. By association, this applies to his party. THE RIGHT WING’S BASE IS IN STEEP DECLINE The largest percentage of Republican’s voting base has been baby boomers for more than four decades. My generation is rapidly becoming extinct. This...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I will brag about myself when I think I deserve it. Since 2012, when I began writing professionally, I have written a few stories weeks, months, and even years before the mainstream media releases a similar story about the same subject. Yesterday, July 11, 2024, this happened again. I cannot tell you when I wrote my articles, but it was several years ago. Today the headline on the New York Times read: “Unfit to Lead.” The article lambastes Trump for many of his failures in a five-part piece authored by their editorial board. In its beginning, it labels Trump accurately as “unfit to lead,” and suggests that the American people vote for ‘anyone but Trump.’ The same statements I have made for years. The five parts will discuss how Trump fares in five categories: moral fitness, principled leadership, character, “a president’s words” and the rule of law. TRUMP RECEIVES A FAILING GRADE IN EVERY CATEGORY I can sum up in a few words how the orange buffoon fails miserabl...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you choose to be ignorant and Trump is elected in November, you will “get what you paid for.” He will not be a president who ser ves our nation and its people, he will use his powers to pardon himself from his own crimes, including treason and espionage, and exact revenge on every true American who would like to see his humungous derriere behind bars for the remainder of his disgusting life , where it belongs.   “America isn’t easy.” This was a line from “The American President,” spoken by actor Michael Douglas.   Think about what this means, because it is very true .   WHETHER AMERICA SURVIVES OR CEASES TO EXIST IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY AMERICAN   The United States of America is a lazy nation in the 21 st century. Everyone wants the easy wa y , the quick way. No one wants to work long and hard for what they want. Produce farmers in California will confirm that younger, American citizens refuse to work in their fields...
