  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Truth Lives Here If Trump and Putin rig another election, America will lose and our nation’s future is in serious jeopardy. However, if the election is just and fair, and most voters realize that Trump’s tactics filled with lies, his horrific record between 2017 and 2021, and his billionaire supporter loses his bid to buy votes, our country will have its first woman president, and America will move proudly forward into the 21 st century. Kamala Harris in 2024. Op-ed by James Turnage

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s supporters once again choose ignorance over reality. They are falsely claiming that FEMA is acting to slowly to respond to hurricanes, Helene and Milton, although governors claim that it has been excellent, both Democratic and Republican. These same prejudiced men and women ignore the fact that Trump did nothing about the dangers presented by Covid-19, and is personally responsible for more than 10,000 or the one million+ deaths related to the deadly coronavirus. The word is “stupid.” There is no other word which applies. Op-ed by James Turnage  

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I may be wasting my time, my number of daily readers has declined. I can only assume that what I have to say is offensive to some. However, this issue is more important than anything else I have to say. I have always promised to offer nothing less than the absolute truth, facts which are denied by millions of Americans. If the truth makes you angry, then don’t read what I have to say. However, I will never cease to claim that “the truth lives here.” From 2013 when I began writing for a Las Vegas newspaper, one thing has never changed: my total disgust with men and women who harbor hatred based on some form of prejudice. IGNORANCE CAN BE FORGIVEN, BUT TO CHOOSE IGNORANCE OVER FACT IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY Racism, homophobia, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Xenophobia, and any other form of prejudice is to choose ignorance over fact, over the reality of what it means to be an American citizen. Although support for the Neo-Nazi movement in America began l...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is bragging about his “economy.” The truth is, it was a disaster. The “highlights” were 2.7 million people unemployed, and a failure to lead our country through the Covid-19 Pandemic nearly placed our nation in another Great Depression. Another failure for DJT. Republicans proved themselves incapable of creating a great economy since Reagan in 1981. The primary reason: they all chose the failed policy of “trickle-down economics.” The super-rich have never been “job creators,” and never will be. BIDEN’S ECONOMY IS THE BEST SINCE THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION The truth: the economic policies of President Biden saved our economy, which is now the best since the Clinton administration. You won’t hear or read this fact from a member of the mainstream media. They have supported Trump for nine years. They continue to cover him more frequently than any other candidate. The truth is of no importance to them: the “Fourth Estate” no longer exists. A FEW FACTS Trump fail...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Supporting Donald Trump’s moronic ideas and policies can cost you your life. According to health experts, Trump is directly responsible for at least 10,000 of the more than one million American deaths related to Covid-19. Their allegations are based on the undeniable fact that the worst president in history failed to take action in December of 2019 when he was informed of an approaching healthcare emergency. He continued to ignore the coming pandemic, telling the American people, “We are better prepared, and it will just go away.” Governors in red states took Trump’s words seriously and failed to enforce suggested preventative actions to save lives issued by the CDC. “As many as one-quarter of a million Americans died simply because their state governments refused to impose good public health standards. They died as appeasements to the twin gods of ignorance and politics.” Daily Kos BEING UNAWARE OF FACTS IS ACCEPTABLE, BUT CHOOSING TO IGNORE THEM IS NOT I am no...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I will continue to write in support of President Biden. One debate has little importance in the bigger picture. The reasons for reelecting Mr. Biden match the growing number of reasons why Trump must not be allowed to return to the White House. Maybe the most important reason to choose Biden or Trump in November involves how either man would act in a national crisis. The mainstream media refuses to discuss this all-important issue, but I believe it is vital to consider the character, or lack thereof, of both men. BIDEN STEPS FORWARD ON 9/11 On September 11, 2001, Senator Joe Biden was traveling on a train which would take him to his job as a United States Senator. Mr. Biden was celebrating a speech before the National Press Club the day before. He had criticized the Bush Administration for moving away from longstanding arms control agreements, placing our nation in a “stand alone” position. However, his reverie was broken when he was informed of the attacks on t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s crimes are many, and began about 60 years ago. When a 13-year-old child is forced out of his home as adolescence begins, these become the most important years of development: who and what he will become as an adult. Trump was sent away to military boarding school at the tender age of 13. When a child begins to mature, parental obligation becomes critical. The Donald Trump we know today is the sum of his life’s experience. He remains immature, desperate for love and acceptance. After his daddy paid for his diploma from Wharton Business College, Trump was given more than 400 million dollars to begin his own business. He lost that money in a very short period of time. His father’s efforts to make amends for his lack of parental ability failed, and a pattern began for a life dominated by a lack of successful business ventures and personal failures. THOSE OF US WHO HAVE STUDIED TRUMP’S LIFE ARE NOT SURPRISED Raising children is the most difficult challenge a ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump was never my president. He never deserved the title. An American president has multiple duties and responsibilities, none of which were performed by the orange buffoon. Trump refused to represent all Americans. As the leader of the white supremacy movement in America, he failed to recognize Black Americans as equals. He ignored low-income and poor Americans, choosing to serve the super-rich and members of Neo-Nazi organizations. He divided our nation’s people intentionally, and when our country needed a leader, he ignored the advancing coronavirus, and claimed “it will just go away.” Trump was the first man to lose his bid for reelection and refuse to   submit to a peaceful transfer of power. Instead, he lied about the results of the election and attempted to overturn the 2020 loss by planning, organizing, and executing an attempted coup on January 6, 2021. The only “rigged” election in history was in 2016. Our government attempte...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump learned about the probability of a life-threatening pandemic endangering American lives in December of 2019. He ignored the information, refusing to read the President’s Daily Brief. When the American people learned about Covid-19 in January of 2020, he told us, “it will just go away.” This fact adds murder to the long list of crimes committed by your former, illegitimate president. For those of us who know the truth, Trump is the greatest   criminal in America’s history who remains a free man. If he was forced to pay for the crimes he committed over 77+ years, he would spend the remainder of his days in prison. Any man or woman who is elected by the people to be our president has one responsibility: to serve the needs of all Americans. Trump lost the popular vote and chose not to serve anyone who refuses to support his mentally deranged views of America’s future. Trump’s Speech at his Hate Rallies Proves That He Deserves the Nickname of...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   In another demonstration of his adamant beliefs in racism and bigotry, and unable to criticize her for her position on the issues, Trump is attacking Nikki Haley for not using her birth name. You see, Ms. Haley’s ancestors came to America from India, and although she has always used her middle name, “Nikki,” her birth name is “Nimbra.” My family’s origin is Prussian. I have been called “James” all of my life. However, its origin is from the name “Jakob.” So what? Although today’s fake Republicans attempt to deny this fact, we are all immigrants. Donald Trump’s family changed their surname from “Drumpf” to Trump. The primary reason, according to history, is based on the fact that the Drumpf family left Germany in disgrace and was not allowed to return. Like his Grandson, Friederich Drumpf was a draft dodger. This is why the family attempted to hide the fact that they are German immigrants. The truth is the worst president in American history, who has become...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I have no doubt some of these statistics will surprise and even shock you. However, they are based on facts. The mainstream media, Fox News, and right-wing politicians will never tell you the truth. The truth would greatly harm those who call themselves “Republicans” today. Remember, billionaires control the right-wing, and money is the only thing of importance in 21 st century America. I believe that if most Americans were aware that 30 percent of all Americans reject organized religion today, it would change attitudes across our country about multiple issues, including abortion, and the rights of the LGBTQ community. That number is about 90,000,000 people. The most interesting part of this fact is that millennials and succeeding generations compose a large number of this statistic. With an average age of all Americans at 38.3 years of age, this is a significant fact. If women and younger Americans came to agreements on every important issue, they would ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump has been indicted four times which include 72 felony counts. He is clearly guilty of every allegation. However, he has not been charged for his most serious crime against the American people. He alone is responsible for at least 100,000 of the more than 1,000,000 lives lost related to the pandemic known as Covid-19. Healthcare experts vary in the numbers but the estimates are huge. His failure to take action when he was first informed of an oncoming world health emergency in December of 2019, and fallacious claim that “it will just go away,” until Americans began dying in March of 2020, are the reasons an unnecessary number of our nation’s people lost their lives. Trump is not only guilty of murder, he is guilty of dereliction of duty. He failed his primary purpose, to protect the safety of 330 million Americans. Not once in four years did the worst illegitimate president in the world place the American people ahead of his personal needs and desires....

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   For America the Covid-19 debacle was a disaster created by our illegitimate president’s administration. Tens of thousands of American lives could have been saved if Trump and his failed cronies would have done anything to avert the dangers forecast by healthcare experts as the pandemic approached America. Instead, they followed Trump’s policy of doing nothing, lying to the American people claiming that “it will just go away.” The Center for Disease Control issued a warning that Covid-19 could return and threaten additional lives. There is a booster available. Whether or not you decide to accept the warning, you must accept the concerns of the CDC as credible. However, “Republican” leaders are encouraging a renewal of Trump’s disastrous policies in 2020. The Governor of Florida is suggesting a boycott of the booster, and a refusal to wear masks if the CDC recommends them. Ron DeSantis and his wife appear to be kicking off new anti-mask efforts this week, wi...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump’s supporters in the House and Senate are an embarrassment to all true Republicans in the past and an affront to the most sacred intent of the Constitution. Right-wing politicians are now the party of baseless conspiracy theories, blatant falsehoods, and extremism. Gone but not forgotten is the once Grand Old Party, and no one on the right side of the aisle, not Moscow Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, nor Lauren Boebert is more of a perfect example of this new reality than Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. The right-wing has become so extremist, moved so far to the right, they must accept the new title of “The American Fascist Party.” Johnson has his nose so far up the obese old man’s humongous derriere he can smell the bullshit coming out of his mouth. His latest tale of fantasy concerns the recent pandemic known as Covid-19. Trump’s policy of “it will just go away” resulted in the deaths of more than one-million America...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I was alive for one-half of the 20 th century. There were great things happening, and great tragedies. New inventions which were both beneficial and destructive. All of this placed America in a position to face the 21 st century. Sadly, it began with controversy and disaster. As we end the first quarter of a new century, what we have experienced so far is not promising. The American people voted in November of 2000 with the intent of choosing a new president to lead us for the next four years. The choices given to us were the previous vice-president, Al Gore, and the son of our 41 st president, George W. Bush. The result was “too close to call.” Weeks after the election one of the greatest travesties in history, a violation of voting rights, happened when a Republican dominated Supreme Court decided the outcome of the election by halting a recount in Florida. Although Al Gore won the popular vote, the unconstitutional Electoral College forc...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I have written many times that Trump is not an American and therefore cannot become the President of the United States of America. Recently, he admitted that my allegation is indeed fact. The proof actually began on January 20, 2017, and was completed on January 6, 2021 when he ordered his Neo-Nazi army to halt the certification of the Electoral College vote. Recently, he admitted that he hates the America of our founding fathers and the Constitution signed by the members of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia at the closing in 1789. He told some members of his cult that he “wished he lived overseas.” Of course the only countries which would accept him are Russia, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Turkey. He is hated by nearly every person in any of the developed nations. I would love to see him leave our country permanently. From the day he was born, he was living in the Trump world, the Trump Klan. His daddy paid for everything from deferments...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart     For the first time in history, and hopefully the last, a President of the United States was under investigation for criminal actions from his first day in office. The day was January 20, 2017, and the illegitimate president inaugurated on that dark day was Donald John Trump.    Trump immediately faced allegations from 26 women of sexual misconduct. His policies focused on Muslims, and later Hispanics resulted in charges of racism and bigotry. He was under investigation for misuse of donations to his minimal inauguration. A letter signed by 25 reputable psychiatrists claimed that Trump was mentally unstable and unfit to lead our country. The list was long before he made his first state of the union address.   His actions became more extreme. Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time on December 18, 2019. The articles of impeachment charged him with abuse of power and\ obstruction of Congress. ...
