Five men and one woman. This gang of six are all biased in support of right-wing extremists who dominate today’s Republican Party in name only and serve Trump, ignoring the needs of the average American. John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett are corrupt Supreme Court justices who control your life. How do we fight against this gang of six and save our country for posterity? The sad truth is, we can do absolutely nothing. Of all the mistakes made by our Founding Fathers, one surpasses all others. The damage caused by not placing term limits on all three branches of government is the primary reason our government is now the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. The intentions of our Founding Fathers when they created the judicial branch of our government were admirable. However, they were obviously naïve. They underestimated the vices of greed and ambition possessed by all mankind. I believe that given the opportunity most ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you are paying attention to the most serious and destructive situation in America you are aware that the federal court system has been corrupted from the Supreme Court to every lower court in every state. Every Republican president since Reagan intentionally appointed or nominated judges who lean to the far right. Because of this irrefutable fact, justice in America is not blind, nor is it without bias. The greatest disaster and affront to the intentions of our Founding Fathers is the Supreme Court of the United States. When our Founding Fathers created the Judicial Branch of our check and balance system, they devised what they believed was a plan which would prevent the Court from becoming politicized. This has become the greatest mistake in the entire Constitutional Convention. PROOF THAT TERM LIMITS ARE NECESSARY FOR ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS AND THE COURT Justices were given lifetime appointments which prevented the need to win elections which are always divi...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Let’s review. In 2016, after the sudden death of Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia, in February, President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill the vacant seat on the Court. Moscow Mitch McConnell let out a high-pitched scream. He established a rule in direct opposition to the intent of the Constitution. He unilaterally decided that a vacant seat on the Court must not be filled during an election year. Move ahead to 2017. After Trump’s illegitimate election, Moscow Mitch told Trump to nominate a man unfit for the position, Neil Gorsuch. We later learned that the sole reason for his nomination was based on a promise to overturn Roe v Wade should the opportunity arise. 2018; Moderate Justice Anthony Kennedy retired. Once again Moscow Mitch ordered Trump to nominate another totally unqualified justice, Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings were similar to those of Clarence Thomas in 1991. Doctor Christine Blasey Ford accused Kava...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Regardless of which major news network you watch or read, you are being lied to. The mainstream media fails to offer their viewers and readers the complete truth about anything political since 2016. It has been obvious over the last eight years that millionaires and billionaires stick together. It doesn’t matter to those reporting the news on television that all right-wing politicians have become the enemies of the majority. These professional politicians, (pardon the foul language), are millionaires and billionaires, and they are a small but powerful club which shares a common goal: more money. THE PLUTOCRACY GROWS In 2024 there are more than 22 million millionaires and 813 billionaires in America. These numbers increased over the pandemic. How? In America, money is king and the men and women who compose the working class are considered peasants. Unlike Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow, David Brinkley, and others who were paid working man’s wages for their rep...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If Trump wins the Electoral College in November, it will be travesty. As a proud and patriotic American, I cannot accept the fact that a convicted felon, a convicted sexual predator, an admitted fascist based on his promised actions if elected, a man without morals or principles could defile our White House for another four years. However, I am telling you that it may not matter. The most important branch of our government is now the Supreme Court. When Trump, Moscow Mitch McConnell, and the Federalist Society colluded to stack the Court in favor of right-wing extremists, it became our Founding Father’s greatest nightmare. The Court is now politicized, and likely will remain so for the next 30-40 years. A BAD DECISION MAY NOW END THE DREAM To understand why our Founding Fathers gave justices on the Court lifetime appointments, we go back to the Constitutional Convention. The men who created, debated, and signed the Constitution understood the c...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart January 6, 2021, was by far the darkest day in American History. A sitting president executed an attempted coup which he previously organized, and planned with the assistance of leaders of America’s Neo-Nazi traitors. Hundred of men and women have been prosecuted and convicted for crimes including sedition, but none of them were charged with treason. Why, I will never know. Today it appears that the most corrupted Supreme Court in history is considering the invalidation of a large number of those convictions, which will eventually result in the acquittal of America’s greatest traitor who should be in prison today awaiting trial and possibly execution. Donald Trump is the worst thing to happen to our nation in 247 years. IS THE END OF AMERICA ABOUT TO HAPPEN? Six justices, calling themselves “conservatives,” but in reality are right wing extremists, so far to the right they embrace fascism, appear to be in doubt about a law passed after the Enron scandal. [One pa...

Op-ed by TheWiseOld Fart   Need more proof that Trump is mentally unbalanced? Don’t worry, he will make sure you receive it.   For example, your illegitimate president was in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania this weekend: his last public appearance prior to his hush money criminal trial, which b egan today. Trump has claimed many times that he is a better President than Abraham Linco ln, therefore it was no surprise that he made his own “Gettysburg Address.” The following is a small part of his ridiculous, ignorant, and incohere nt ramblings.   [ TRUMP: Gettysburg, wow. I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look, and to watch, and, uh, the statement of Robert Lee— who's no longer in favor, did you ever notice that? No longer in favor —”Never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphil l.”   [TRUMP: What an unbelievable, I mean it was so much, and so interesting, and so vicious, and horrible —and so beautiful in so many ways.]   He Obviously ha s no Understanding Abo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   One of the biggest changes in our nation’s history between the year of my birth, 1946, and today concerns the women of our country. Progress was made until 2022 when a corrupted Supreme Court reversed a decision made by a legitimate Court 49 years in the past removing a woman’s right to make decisions related to her personal physical and mental health. June 24, 2022 was one of the darkest days in America’s history.   Many changes have been made in my 77+ years, but not nearly enough .   Women are no Longer Asking for Equality, They’re Taking It   Equality in America remains virtually unchanged in 2024. Women, minorities, members of the LGBTQ Community, and both legal and illegal immigrants continue to be treated differently than white men. However, women continue to make changes in our society.   Over the last 20 years women have taken a greater interest in our government and its political system. More women are registered to vote ...
