Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you are surprised, you must have been in a coma for the last eight years. Vladimir Putin is once again attempting to make his biggest asset the President of the United States in 2024. In each of the last three elections Putin’s agents have been actively involved in our election process. This is an undeclared “act of war” from Putin. He is attempting to take control of our country for the second time, but no shots will be fired or bombs dropped. Nonetheless, it is an obvious effort to put Trump in the White House for a second time and finish his assigned task of destroying democracy in America. Our government will do nothing. It will allow Trump and his American Fascist Party to do as they wish. I am ashamed. [Act of war means hostile or warlike action, whether declared or not, in a time of peace or war, whether initiated by a local government, foreign government or foreign group, civil unrest, insurrection, rebellion or civil war.] TRUMP IS COMPLICIT AND WHY

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I want to tell you about a story which was never reported by the television media, proving that the fourth estate no longer exists. You might remember that when Robert Mueller’s long overdue report was revealed, Trump’s Attorney General, William Barr, redacted everything but a few pages. “Redacted” is a political word used instead of “censored.” In August of 2020, just three months before the election, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee issued a report confirming collusion between Trump’s campaign and Vladimir Putin. However, this information was hidden from the voting public. If this sounds similar, it’s because it is. In October of 2016, a meeting was held in the Oval Office. President Obama, Vice-President Biden, the leaders of both parties, and the heads of 14 national security agencies were in attendance. The subject discussed was Russian interference in the 2016 election. It was confirmed. However this information was hidden from the American people. T

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you call yourself a Republican, and surrende red to Donald Trump in 2017, you also gave away your dignity, self-respect, and proved you are not a patriotic American. You have pledged your fealty to a traitor whose primary objective is to end democracy in America and replace it with a fascist regime.   If you are Kristi Noem, Elise Stefanik, Tim Scott, or Marco Rubio, you are an embarrassment to yourself, real Republicans of the past, and the United States of A merica . You are betraying yo ur coun try and abandonin g your oath of office hoping that you will be the running mate of the worst illegitimate president in American history. You are sad an d pitiful because you are the reason the American people hate professional politicians. You have made those two words the most disgusting and hated profession in our nation’s history.   TODAY, I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE AN AMERICAN   I once had some respect for both major political parties. How times have c

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   From the time I could afford to purchase my first automobile, I began to understand why everyone complained about gas prices.   Now, at the mature age of 77, I can tell you why they piss of f just about everyone .   The oil and gas industry began the practice of “Greedflation” about 50 years ago. Whenever they had ac cidents , spills or were forced to make expensive repairs to their aging equipment, they would arbitrarily raise prices at the pump. If you live near a resort area, like me, you notice that the prices are much higher in that area than where you live. I live near Lake Tahoe, and not only is this a fact, the se companies raise prices down here in Reno and up in Lake Tahoe prior to every holiday. Tahoe no longer has a commercial airport.   LAST WEEK TRUMP OFFERED 20 OIL EXECUTIVES A BRIBE   It was revealed that last week Trump met with 20 gas and oil executives at Mar-a-Lago. He told them that if they would donate one-billion dollars to his re
