Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Gerrymandering, voter suppression, supporting Trump’s many crimes against the American people, and violating their oaths of office. These are some of the crimes committed by Trump’s Nazi Party. Fact: the former Grand Old Party became nothing but a memory on January 20, 2017. No man or woman on the right side of the aisle has the courage to do the right thing for the American people, fearing they will offend their Fuhrer. The base of the American Nazi Party is shrinking. They cannot win elections without the support of Trump’s ignorant cult. ROBERTS, THOMAS, ALITO, GORSUCH, KAVANAUGH, AND BARRETT MUST BE IMPEACHED Before right-wing extremists received a super majority on the Supreme Court, the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” in red states could not have committed the crimes of today. By redrawing districts, they are suppressing the rights of minorities and the working class to have their votes be significant in the outcome of federal elections. Th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Denial, lies, rewriting the Constitution, massive corruption. These are accurate terms to describe six members of the current Supreme Court. I have been a political writer since 2012. Regardless of the failures of the executive and legislative branch, I always had faith that the Supreme Court would save our nation from complete destruction. That was until October of 2020. Crooked Moscow Mitch, Roe v Wade, June 24, 2022, voting rights, placing Trump above the law, this is Fuhrer Donald Trump’s Supreme Court. GASLIGHTING AND CATFISHING The two articles which inspired me to write this were about John Roberts and Samuel Alito, and their attempts to both gaslight and catfish the American people. They are attempting to blow smoke up our asses about how far to the right six members of the Court have become, and how they are “just doing their jobs.” Bullshit. Let’s look at their first crime against all women, and a serious violation of the intent of the Constitution. On...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As an original baby boomer, patriotism was all around me. My father had returned from a ship in the Pacific in 1945. He had survived the war to prevent the spread of fascism. I was born in Lewiston, Idaho, in 1946. With jobs now plentiful in Los Angeles and other major cities, my maternal grandparents, me, my mother, father, my little brother, and one of my uncles moved to the City of Angels in 1952. In the fall, I was sent to St. Mark’s Elementary School to attend 1 st grade. Every morning our teacher, a nun, had us face the American flag standing in the corner and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Those words, and their meaning, will live inside my head for the rest of my life. However, in 2025, they mean nothing to the orange buffoon defiling our White House. Today is the first day of 2026: a new beginning which offers hope for the return of democracy, and freedom to all people living inside the United States of America, regardless of race, sex, religious pre...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Big mistake. Our Founding Fathers readily admitted that what they created was not perfect. Their biggest mistake was underestimating the weaknesses of all mankind. They mistakenly believed that their successors would be honorable and patriotic men who would improve upon their failures. Most of their ideas, their dreams, were based on human rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I will always respect their intent to make what has become the American dream available to every man and woman in our nation. They could not have foreseen how disastrous not placing term limits on all three branches of our government, and surrendering to the leaders of smaller states with the creation of the Electoral College has become. “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” History confirms that longevity, when given a position of power, brings out the worst in every man and woman in our federal government. I offer you one name, one old man, who failed t...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I read an article today revealing that most women in America are unhappy. I don’t believe this is news. I was a  hairstylist  for 20 years. Most of my clients were women of all ages. As we became more than ‘patron and service provider,’ they talked to me about things which were uncomfortable within their families and even among most of their closest friends. First of all, no, I am not gay. However, most of the men who worked for me in my salon were. What I did share with my gay friends was a genuine concern for my customers in both their desires for a more appealing hairstyle, but also as people who needed to be heard. The last four words are more important than you might think. Most of the women I became close to had the same complaint: “no one really listens to me. They want to ‘fix my problem,’ when all I really wanted was to be heard.” In  1619 , the first African slaves stepped onto American...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like everything else in his pitiful life, Trump has never experienced a victory in any endeavor he attempted, as proven by two illegitimate victories in Putin’s rigged presidential elections. In 2016 he was far down in the final polls. In 2024, attendance at his hate rallies was in steep decline. He was obviously losing support and is just one of the factors involved in allegations by me and others that this was a second rigged election by the Russian President. In the private sector, he barely survived with the use of bribes, “hush money” paid to witnesses, tax evasion, and bailouts by Putin and the Saudi Royal Family. There are unsubstantiated accusations of the use of paid assassins to eliminate several of his adversaries. Because he is incapable of performing the duties of a real president, and will continue to face opposition willing to remove him from his illegitimate presidency by any means, the schoolyard bully must become a fascist dictator. This is the...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I admit to vacillating between optimism and pessimism. I realize that Trump and his Nazi army are intentionally creating chaos in Washington and every state in the Union. However, now, more than ever, our country needs a great leader. Great leaders are rare, and even more unusual in a country whose freedoms allow the worst in people to rise to the surface. America’s very existence is in jeopardy. The executive branch is controlled by Putin’s puppet and every action Trump has taken in the last six months and 14 days is listed in the right-wing’s fascist manifesto called Project 2025. One half or the legislative branch is loyal to Trump, not to our nation’s 340 million people. Six of the nine Supreme Court Justices are traitors. They are ignoring the intent of the Constitution in support of their fascist leader. It’s very hard to be optimistic. Both political parties are hiding one fact from the American people. Trump was not fairly and honestly elected in 2016 or...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am not afraid to tell the truth. Your illegitimate president, Donald John Trump is a sexual predator, a lifetime criminal, a traitor, a malignant narcissist, and to sum it up, a Nazi. These are the nicest things I could say about the worst man in the world. Unfortunately, most Democrats and every organization which is part of the mainstream media, carefully step around the truth, offering the American people a less than complete description of the facts. The situation our nation is in today began in Moscow in 2013. Trump used the Miss Universe Pageant as an excuse to visit the Russian capital. The events which took place during those few days involved interaction between Trump and Vladimir Putin were documented by former MI-6 agent Christopher Steele. Not a single word of his dossier has been proven false. The primary conclusion was that Putin and Trump conspired to win the 2016 presidential election. This is the first fact unreported by the media, and ignored...

(I didn’t plan for this to be so long.)   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Although the event’s beginning was two years earlier in Moscow, on June 16, 2015 an old, obese, failed and crooked businessman took the long ride down several escalators inside Trump Tower on 5 th Avenue in New York. He could have taken the elevator. However, he was and is afflicted with a mental disease called “malignant narcissism.” His greatest need, soothing an inflated ego, required him to make what he believed was a ‘grand entrance.’ The man with orange skin was about to announce his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2016. Personally, I found the staged event comical. I knew a little about Donald John Trump, and his entire life was a caricature of a man in search of power and great wealth. He had never accomplished anything for another human being in his pitiful life. He celebrated his 69 th birthday on June 15, and the biggest joke should have been the fact that a 70-year-old...

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...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I joined the 2010 Decennial Census, I took an oath. I administered that same oath to dozens of men and women over the next couple of years. I took it seriously, and I demanded that those who recited the words I asked them to repeat did the same. If a census worker violates that oath, he or she faces a maximum fine of $250,000 and a prison term of five years. The members of all three branches of our government take an oath of office, similar, but slightly different, according to their positions. However, when they violate their oaths, nothing happens, with the possible exception of winning reelection. The oath of office taken by every justice on the Supreme Court. "I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of...

First, two facts which cannot be denied by any person with common sense who faces reality. All religions are cults, and all governments are bad: some worse than others. I have long made the claim that at least one half of all Americans are ignorant; not because they lack basic intelligence, but because they choose ignorance. It is too difficult for them to look at facts and make intelligent decisions based on the truth. This is why religions exist. Most people are sheep in need of a sheppard. The only time professional politicians pretend to listen to the voting public is during an election year. They will say and do anything to remain in office. Washington politicians live lives of power and privilege incomparable to any other profession in our country. Their aides do all the work. They are far too busy campaigning and begging for contributions for their next election to perform the jobs for which they were elected. When religious zealots and ambitious politicians unite, they intentio...

  In 2024, the Supreme Court destroyed the most important part of our Founding Father’s creation. Our system of a Democratic Republic was intended to have three “separate but equal branches.” However, in order to prevent any form of monarchy, or autocracy, the least powerful of all three branches was the Executive: the presidency. This all changed in 2024. In 2017 Moscow Mitch McConnell and Trump began to “stack” the Supreme Court with what would become three unqualified justices who had promised to support the right-wing’s extremist agenda. This 922-page fascist manifesto is called “Project 2025.” The first major blow to democracy came on June 24, 2022. This dark day in our nation’s history will be remembered as the most vicious attack on women’s rights in a lifetime. Repealing a decision by a legitimate Court, 49 years in the past, removed a woman’s right to make decisions about her personal physical and mental health. Roe v Wade, federal protection for a woman’s right to...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike the mainstream media, which reports important stories just once in 24 hours, but continues to retell stories which include sensationism over and over again for weeks, I will never stop criticizing today’s corrupt and biased Supreme Court. The decisions made by this Court, stacked in favor of the extreme right-wing’s ultra-conservative agenda, violate not only the exact wording of the Constitution, they also tossed aside the intent of our Founding Fathers. President Biden nailed it. “This decision,” Biden said, “has continued the court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation.” Their most recent decision regarding presidential immunity contradicts the most important effort by our Founding Fathers to prevent the establishment of a monarch or...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically bias...
