Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Yesterday, June 14, 2024, irrefutable proof was offered to the American people that six members of the Supreme Court are completely unqualified to serve on the highest court in the land. They are idiots who lack sufficient intelligence and common sense to make any decisions affecting the American people. Remember their names: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. THE MASSACRE IN SIN CITY On October 1, 2017, one man checked into a hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He had several pieces of luggage, and asked for a room facing the area where a concert was about to begin.   In his bags were 12 assault rifles, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and several attachments known as “bump stocks.” The latter converts semi-automatic weapons into automatic killing machines. While hundreds of men and women were enjoying the music, this lone gunman opened fire. When the massacre ended, 58 innocent people were dead, and mor

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart November 8, 2016 should have been a day of celebration for every American. As the polls closed, Hillary Clinton was winning the popular vote. America would have not only its first woman president, it would have chosen the most qualified candidate in history to lead our nation for the next four years. Of course this did not happen.

However, although our government denies the facts today, a story was released and then quickly redacted about a meeting held in the Oval Office in October of 2016. The subject of the meeting was to inform our nation’s leaders about the results of an investigation by all 17 agencies of America’s intelligence community completed on Octob

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From January 21, 2017, until today, I have witnessed at least one incident each day when a right-wing politician displays his or her preference for the end of democracy in America, and the institution of a fascist regime, with Trump as their Fuhrer. The latest happened last week when a split decision by the Kansas Supreme Court declared that the state’s Constitution does not guarantee the right to vote. [Justice Melissa Taylor Standridge called the decision troubling, with far-reaching implications, and that the ruling “defies history, law, and logic and is just plain wrong.”] [“For over 60 years, this interpretation of section 2 has been our precedent,” she wrote. “Without even a hint that it’s doing so, the majority overturns this precedent today.”] FROM THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND TO THE FIRST TERM LOCAL POLITICIAN, THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER ATTACK The right-wing is loyal to Donald Trump. It rejects the foundation for the existence if the United States, the
