If You Did not Watch All Three Hours of the Darkest Day in American History as it Happened: Shut Up

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Editing is a clever word for censorship. Therefore, if you did not watch all three hours of the attempted coup on January 6, 2021, as it happened, you do not know the truth about what was undeniably the “darkest day in American history.” Recently, I wrote about changes, and how even the slightest deviation from choosing the right path can become a choice which leads to destruction and even devastation. This is equally true for countries. My wife and I, both retired, were watching television on a Wednesday morning, January 6, 2021, when whatever was on the television screen disappeared and the words, “BREAKING NEWS,” appeared. Trump walked up to a makeshift stage and began to speak to the crowd gathered in front of it. He rambled on and on, , as always, but the core of his message was, “I won the 2020 election, and you must end the proceedings happening in the Capitol Building.” The old man had just executed an attempted coup. In the latter days of 2020, he began...

Four Years Ago Today, I Watched the Darkest Day in American History

My wife and I were watching television when the broadcast was interrupted. The date was January 6, 2021. It was just about noon. On the screen was an old, obese, white man who was soon to be evicted from the White House. He was standing on a newly erected stage just outside the White House. He began his lies with the biggest lie he ever told. He claimed that massive fraud prevented him from winning his reelection in 2020. The truth was clear and irrefutable.

Congress was in session, preparing to certify the Electoral College vote and confirming Joe Biden’s presidency. It was confirmed later by a member of Trump’s administration, that he knew he had lost just days after the election. Afflicted with malignant narcissism, his ...

2024 Has Become a Battle Between Criminals and Law-Abiding Americans

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The number of convicted felons who participated in the January 6 th insurrection is 1,350 and rising. In my worthless opinion, I do not believe even one of them has been fairly punished for their heinous crimes. Treason is the only word which applies to these men and women and the minimum sentence should fit the crime: at least 20 years. However, at his hate rallies, Don “Big Adolf” Trump calls them “hostages.” This is simply one criminal defending his fellow conspirators. Trump’s Fascist Army Never forget, the men Trump chose to lead his failed coup are leaders of Neo-Nazi groups who praise Hitler and hate America. They will never be happy until all Black Americans are returned to their Masters: wealthy, white men. Trump’s actions and promises are so despicable and hateful that at least two dozen former aides made statements claiming that “Big Adolf” must not be allowed anywhere near the White House ever again. Trump Says Nothing Because He Knows Nothing Not o...
