Nobody Seems to Care: Trump is Waging a War Against Venezuela Without Congress: Another Constitutional Violation

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is obvious that Trump has never read the Constitution . Why should he? He has no respect for the Law of the Land , and proves this fact as he constantly violates the Constitution. He is waging a war against Venezuela right now without the consent of Congress. Why should he care? Six members of the Supreme Court are loyal to him, not to their country, and granted him absolute immunity. They are violating their only purpose as they evacuate their bowels on our nation’s most sacred document. [The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war, found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, which states Congress can "declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water.”] What Trump is obviously doing involves a law passed in every state in the Union. He, his incompetent Secretary of Defense, and the Pentagon are committing first degree murder. There has been no due process as commanded by...

I Think it’s Time for More Hegseth and Pentagon Bashing: They Deserve It

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s a sad fact that I was not surprised that Trump chose Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense. They are very similar. Both are white supremacists, sexual predators, and confirmed criminals. Hegseth is also a well-known alcoholic whose antics embarrassed everyone he knew. It was also important for Trump that Hegseth was a part-time personality on his personal propaganda machine, Fox News. Trump and Hegseth made a decision to attack a group of Democrats who offered advice to our military who are being forced to act like a Gestapo in our nation’s “blue” states. They made a public service announcement informing our men and women in uniform that if what they are ordered to do is a violation of federal law or the Constitution, they are not required to carry out those orders. Trump is not a confirmed fascist dictator. At least not yet. Nothing upsets Trump more than the truth. He is known to fly into rage at any moment when one of his illegal actions is exposed. Ne...

Will Six Members of the Supreme Court Uphold Trump’s Most Apparent Constitutional Violation?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart By law, the military forces of the United States are forbidden to take action in any situation involving democracy in America. This law is under attack by your illegitimate president. When a small group of Democratic legislators made a public service announcement intended to inform our military that they are lawfully obligated to ignore commands by the Commander-in-Chief which violate the law, Trump suggested that punishment by death should be considered for their Constitutional obligation to obey the Law of the Land. He mislabeled the event as an act of “sedition.” Trump knows nothing about the law, he never met one he didn’t break. Now that six corrupt members of the SCOTUS  granted him absolute immunity, our nation’s greatest criminal will do anything he desires without fear of punishment. Trump and his gang of criminals and thugs have already removed the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th from the Constitution. How many more of our rights and freedoms will...

If You Did not Participate in Saturday’s “No Kings” Protest in Person or in Spirit, You Are not a Patriotic American.

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s Nazi Party is desperate to downplay the “No Kings” protests last Saturday. Regardless of their lies, the historic turnout was one of the most American actions in decades. True Americans denounced Trump and his Nazi Party as they attempt to destroy democracy in America. Any politician calling themselves “Republican” today is a liar. They are fascists who would burn the Constitution and place Trump in power over the people until the day he dies. They are traitors and must be punished for the ultimate crime they have committed against the American people. Your votes can “take them out” next year. Trump is destroying America on two fronts today. He is using the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th Amendments as toilet paper, and at the same time approving the demolition of a huge part of the White House. He actually believes it belongs to him and not to the American people. In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson declined to run for reelection. His reason was based...

How Much Longer Will the Most Corrupt Supreme Court in History Allow Trump to Use the Constitution as Toilet Paper?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Constitution no longer exists. Trump has violated the Bill of Rights and more, and to allow him to “get away with this,” is criminal and can be labeled as treason. His super majority in the Supreme Court continues to surrender their powers to the worst man in the world. The Constitution guarantees everyone in America access to "due process." Thousands of men, women, and children, whose only 'crime’ was searching for a better quality of life, are currently being held and tortured in concentration camps across America’s red states. Nazis are thriving in 21 st century America. The Constitution forbids our government from using our military against its own people. Trump is placing the national guard and regular military forces in blue states. By the way, where was our incompetent military during the January 6 insurrection? Sitting on their fat asses, watching it on television, like the master, Donald John Trump. Trump is violating the First Amendm...

Your Illegitimate President has Never Read the Constitution

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2025, your illegitimate president took an oath. Every word he uttered on those two dark days was just another Trump specialty: a lie. "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". It is clear to me that Trump has never read the Constitution. It is also abundantly clear that every day he claimed to be your president, he violated the First, Fourth, or 14 th Amendments, and on some days all three at once. It makes me ill to hear the word “Constitution” come out of his mouth, and sickens me to see him hug the flag. America and the American people mean nothing to Donald John Trump. From the day of my birth until January 19, 2027 BT, (Before Trump), I knew my beloved country was not perfect, but overall, our people believed in compassion, understanding, to...

America must get Serious about Voting Rights: Can You Pass This Test?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The statistics from the 2016 and 2024 elections prove that there must be a test given to every American before he or she can be allowed to vote in any election. Every man and woman must be able to pass the test given to all naturalized citizens. I guarantee you one fact: Trump, his administration, and his cult would fail this test. This will prove that only immigrants who passed the test should be allowed to be citizens of the United States, and exercise their right to vote. The test consists of 100 questions. An immigration officer will select 10 questions for the oral exam. The applicant must provide six correct answers. Here are just a few of the questions and the correct answers. What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution? The answer is The Bill of Rights. (That’s a very easy one!)  What is one right or freedom from the First Amendment? Any one of these is correct: speech, religion, assembly, press, petition the government (Did you get ...

Trump Gave his Gestapo Your “Papers”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you believe Trump’s claim that illegally detaining and deporting tens-of-thousands of innocent men, women, and children, whose only crime is seeking a better life in the once great and respected United States of America, has anything to do with immigration reform, you must have received a total lobotomy. His actions are comparable to villains in Africa and Asia who are engaged in the illegal and immoral process of “ethnic cleansing.” No longer can anyone pretend that Trump is an American: he is a Nazi hiding behind his office and the American flag. The Trump Klan has never displayed any concern for others. They serve themselves, and ignore the needs and wishes of 340 million people, while supporting their 813 oligarchs. Trump’s latest crime is a clear and criminal violation of the 4 th Amendment. [The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warra...

Apparently, Most Americans Support the End of Democracy and Accept Fascism Instead of Freedom: Tell me I’m Wrong

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I care. I have been warning the American people in print newspapers, blogs including The Las Vegas Guardian Express, the Guardian Liberty Voice, and my own Ask Reverend Jim and TheWiseOldFart for more than a decade that Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have a master plan to end the United States and create a fascist state. Most of our nation’s citizens choose ignorance over fact. As long as they can purchase the latest i-Phones, buy Taylor Swift concert tickets, fill their stomachs with take-out or delivery food, and waste money they don’t have on “things,” they are happy to remain uninformed. Like Trump, they “learn everything they need to know on television.” For those who have ignored how quickly all three branches of our government have become corrupted, and the truth that the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments have already been shredded, read this article and weep. America is one step away from becoming a fascist nation ruled by the worst man in the wo...

Let’s Play with a Few Definitions and How They Mean Very Different Things in 2025

Proud to be a Liberal: Number Five

Image
I am not certain that this is the fifth article I have written about why I am proud to be a liberal, or the fourth or the sixth. I only know that on occasion I find it necessary to explain how I learned right from wrong, and how I became aware that the past is only good for one thing: it is a place where the most important things I learned were from my mistakes, and the mistakes of my government.   As an original “baby boomer,” born in July of 1946, I began my life in an atmosphere of patriotism, and rebirth. The war to defeat fascism had been won, and America was changing quickly, attempting to leave the horrors of war behind us and move our nation forward with changes which no one could have imagined just a few years ago. Millions of women who had become workers in our factories in support of the need to create weapons of mass destruction stepped aside, allowing America’s returning heroes to secure employment in the private sector. Factories were re-tooled, manufacturing eve...

How Foreign Nations Pay for “Special Favors” from Trump

Image
Between 2017 and 2021, Trump refused to divest himself from his foreign business relationships. This was a violation of the Emoluments Clause, lasting for 1,460 days. Over four years, his company profited more than 1.7 billion dollars. In the 1980’s, an acceptable value was established for presidents receiving gifts from foreign nations at $480. In a single situation, Trump accepted a set of golf clubs from Japan worth more than $250,000. Today, Trump is planning to accept a luxury aircraft from Qatar. The gift is a Boeing 747-8, valued at more than $400,000,000. It would be used as Air Force One during his term, and then become his personal property. As Laura Loomer, Trump ally and confidant, states: “Qatar is not our friend.” How much longer will congress, the Supreme Court, and even our military allow Trump to ‘piss’ on the Constitution? He must be removed from our White House by any means available. Op-ed by James Turnage If you follow my blog, you will be an informed citizen Sourc...

How the Second Worst President in History Enabled Trump’s Destructive Actions

Image
  There are two days in my life I will always remember. I was a senior in high school on November 22, 1963 when a truly great president, John F. Kennedy, was murdered in Dallas Texas. I was out for a morning run on September 11, 2001. As I was coming up the street on which I live, my wife was in the front yard waving at me. I thought it was because my mother, who was under hospice care, had passed. She led me inside to watch the television. What I was seeing seemed unreal. My emotions were immediately out of control. Sadly, the cowardly and tragic events of 9/11 produced changes in our country which continue to cause harm to the principles of our nation. The intentions of the First, Fourth, and 14 th Amendments to the Constitution were greatly damaged with the passing of the Patriot Act, and the creation of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE. 9/11, and the passing of these two unconstitutional actions happened under the watch of George W. Bush. The Patrio...

I Will Use Trump’s Words About Elon Musk: “Lock Him Up”

Image
For the many Constitutional Violations and breaks with normal and well thought out practices prior to their invasion of Washington D.C., Trump and Musk should be locked in a holding cell right now. However, one arrogant old man who ignores the Law of the Land, Elon Musk, is violating a direct order by a federal judge and at the same time violating the Constitution. Remember, this incompetent man from South Africa has no respect for the law or rights of the American people. The ignorant old man is nothing more than a racist interfering in our nation’s government, and although he is forbidden access to Social Security records, he has found a way to circumvent the judge’s order. Remember, he does not have a security clearance at any level. My wife accidentally discovered a website intended to mislead current and new Social Security recipients. The lies offered are dangerous and a reason to place Musk in prison for many years. Of course that won’t happen, In America the rich and powerful a...

Why is the Whole World Allowing Two, White Nazis to Hold Them Hostage?

Image
After Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, most of the world’s nations realized that only a world war would halt the advance of fascism. A single madman was intent upon placing the world under the rule of his Nazi Party. Only after the United States was attacked on December 7, 1941 did America join the rest of democratic nations to halt the spread of fascism with the intent of destroying Hitler and his Nazis from shaping the entire world according to his personal ambition. I ask a question no one else will: “the previous situation is being repeated today by two old, white Nazis with lesser intelligence. Why have all nations attacked by these two greedy men not targeted them for removal by any means possible?” I will offer you one irrefutable reason. With few exceptions, most of the world’s leaders in the 21 st century are weak, and even cowardly. Only vicious and murderous dictators like Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman are willing to murder their opponents to remain in p...

Hey Trump; I Know you Failed Social Studies, So Allow Me to Educate You

Image
America was always meant to be a nation of immigrants. Trump is obviously unaware that America is a nation of immigrants. It is highly likely that he is unaware that his grandfather, Friederick Drumpf/Trump immigrated to the US in the mid 1960’s. 22 percent of all Americans claim to speak a language than English in their homes. Of the 22 percent, only 8.4 percent say that they speak it well or very well. However, the most racist man in the world will sign a bill into law making English the official language of the United States. English cannot be the only acceptable language in a nation composed of immigrants. King George III’s demand that the Anglican Church be the only Church of the British Empire. This was the “straw which broke the camel’s back” for our Founding Fathers. Unlike Trump, I and most other Americans celebrate our diversity, and support equality and inclusion for all. This is what would have made America a great country until millions of ignorant voters voted for Trump i...

Forgetting the Founding Fathers and the Best Parts of our History

Image
Possibly the most tragic results of Trump and Musk’s treasonous actions over the last month is encouraging America’s people to forget about our beginnings. Our Founding Fathers were not perfect because no human being could ever achieve such a lofty goal. However, they were noble men who rejected tyranny and rule by a king and moved to the new land to create a new nation founded on individual freedom and human rights. Trump and Musk are attempting to eliminate these basic rights and shred the Constitution. After a great victory in the Revolutionary War, a small number of men gathered in Pennsylvania to participate in the Constitutional Convention in 1787. There were only 55 men in attendance and only 39 added their names to the Constitution in 1789. It is well-known by those of us who love history that these men were aware that what they had accomplished was far from perfect. They firmly believed that their successors would improve what they had begun. Among their mistakes were not esta...

Not an American President

Image
November 5, 2024. This day in American history is likely to become the darkest day in its nearly 249 years of existence. I never thought I would experience a more horrific event in our country than the attempted coup on January 6, 2021. Three hours of mayhem, violence, efforts to destroy our nation’s democratic government. An act of treason orchestrated by one self-centered egotistical maniac in an attempt to remain in power. He admitted to his staff that he lost the 2020 election, but used a lie to justify organizing a group of Nazis to invade the Capitol Building. With Trump again in a position to rule over 340 million people, I fear that my prediction is coming to fruition. Trump is violating laws, customs, tradition, and the Constitution every day he pretends to be an American president. It is clear that he will never be a true president; he is not a leader: the schoolyard bully is a dictator. He most definitely lacks the qualities to be an American. His loyalty is not to the peopl...

Blitzkrieg

Image
Two weeks. Trump and Musk accomplished my prediction in just two weeks. Democracy no longer exists in America. Trump, Musk, and their fascist army have complete control of our government. We are now a nation ruled by Nazis, the same vile and heartless men and women we defeated in WWII. Their lightning war has been ignored by the mainstream media. Journalists of the past would be printing headlines in bold letters, calling Trump and Musk what they are: Nazis. The real villains, the reason our nation is cursed with a traitor defiling the White House, have names: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Aito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. These six corrupt and biased Supreme Court Justices gave Trump absolute immunity. Their refusal to prevent him from running for any federal office by invoking section three of the 14 th Amendment allowed him to join with Putin and Musk and rig the November election. Think about it. It is illogical and virtually impossible for a conv...

Is Trump Unwittingly Reuniting our Nation and Too Stupid to Realize the Truth?

Image
    Face it America, Trump and his party are the enemy. Trump is a destroyer, the opposite of a creator. This is why he failed to record a single accomplishment between 2017-2021, and will fail again between 2025 and 2029: if he lives that long, God forbid. Everything which improved the lives of the majority of our nation’s people has been removed over the last two weeks. Trump is showing his real self: he is a Nazi who supports our current plutocratic rule. He is NOT an American president. Calling Trump’s first two weeks pretending to be an American president have been labeled a disaster. This is true. However, it deserves adjectives added to disaster, including “abysmal,” “ultimate,” “horrific,” and many more. He told us that he would be taking revenge on his enemies, but not to this level. Most of every waking hour, and his executive orders are spent on personal attacks on his many, many detractors. None of this is focused on advancing the quality of life for our nation’s p...
