Q Op--ed by TheWiseOldFart Another reason television news sucks is when a story involving sensationalism happens, it is repeated for days. This is the situation with what has been reported as an assassination attempt against former illegitimate president, Donald Trump. The more I see the clips, the more questions I have. The most logical and obvious are, “why didn’t members of law enforcement or the secret service see the shooter before he began his assault?” Several members of Trump’s cult, as well as reporters and cameramen pointed to a building just outside of the venue where someone was crawling on top of a building. Second, if Trump was grazed by a bullet on his right ear, where did the bullet go. He was standing in front of dozens of men and women, and no one in that vicinity was injured. Did that bullet disintegrate? LET’S LOOK BACK AT A LITTLE HISTORY Shortly after Trump’s illegitimate election in 2016, he attended an economic conference in Europe in 2017. When the press receiv...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Some people sitting behind the podium, and a few reporters and cameramen saw him. They watched someone “bear crawling” on top of a building just outside of the event where Trump was about to hold another hate rally .    The Secret Service and other law enforcement officers did nothing, and apparen tly saw nothing until the sound of gunfire was heard by everyone.   Trump reached his hand up to the right side of his face and dropped down behind the podium. When he was helped up by about a half dozen men and women, blood was trickling from his right ear. I couldn’t help bu t think about a time when I watched a documentary about professional wrestling.    There’s a saying in the fake sport: “red gets green.” This simply means that “blood draws spectators.” The blood is real, but the reason for it was an illusion. The “injured” wres tler had a razor blade between his first two fingers and cut himself.   I’m not claiming tha...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As the title of a story in the Daily Kos suggests: “He Wanted Violence, He Got It.” It’s nothing new for Trump and other right-wing extremists who support a fascist regime for America to suggest violence and even murder as fair punishment for their rivals. "Even in elementary school, I was a very assertive, aggressive kid. In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye. I punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music.” Donald Trump, Art of the Deal, 1987. Now I understand why he was sent to a military boarding school at the age of thirteen. “For many years I’ve said that if someone screws you, screw them back. When somebody hurts you, just go after them as viciously and as violently as you can.” Donald Trump, How to Get Rich, 2004 . “I would bring back waterboarding. And I would bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.” Donald Trump, 6 February 2016 October 2019 — Trump asks if migrants...
