I admit to giving Trump many nicknames over the last 10 years. All were applicable, but none was simple and defined him for the “real Donald Trump” he has always been. I called him “Trumpenstein,” “Putin’s Puppet,” the “Fuhrer,” the “Destroyer,” a “Con Man,” “The Orange Buffoon,” and, of course, a “sexual predator.” All of these are true, but not as humorous as I would have liked. This week he has become known as the “TACO Man.” The acronym stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” It’s funny and accurate. He constantly makes a fool of himself. His intellect is far below average, and when he speaks to his supporters it is clear that he is illiterate. His greatest display of ignorance had become his decision to place tariffs on imports from nearly every nation in the world. Nearly every economist in our nation exposed the fact that tariffs are never effective and are always destructive to economic growth and national security. When his oligarchs began to complain, and Musk resigned, he re...

Trump fears all men and women who are highly educated. It is a certainty that his educational records are embarrassing. In 2017 he had all of them sealed for a reason. Yesterday there were more protests against Trump and his destructive and moronic policies. Many Americans called for his impeachment as his fascist policies contained in Project 2025 continue to destroy the very fabric of what made America a respected and envied nation. The attacks on Pearl Harbor and the World Trade Center resulted in increased patriotism. Trump’s damage to America will last for decades if we survive the “Three Amigos,” Trump, Elon Musk, and Vladimir Putin. One of our nation’s most treasured institutions is Harvard University. Founded in 1636, it remains a revered and respected nation comparable to Oxford and Cambridge. Trump, forever a schoolyard bully, threatened Harvard with the removal of federal funds if it continued the very American policies of DEI: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Harvard’s Pre...

  In February of 2016 the most radical right-wing Supreme Court ju stice, Antonin Scalia, died suddenly. There were nine months before the next election.    However, Moscow Mitch McConnell violated the rules specified in the Constitution, and made his own rule, claiming that no Supreme Court justice would be confirmed during an election year. He would break this rule for his own benefit in October of 2020. Merrick Garland was President Obama’s nominee.   I am one of many who believe that as our Attorney General under President Biden, Garland will be remembered as the worst in history. After Trump planned, organized, and executed a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021, no charges were filed by the Department of Justice.   My wife and I watched all three hours of the attempted coup, and there is no doubt Trump committed treason. The facts prove that if Garland had the courage to do his job, Trump wou ld not be taking the oath of office on Mond ay . Garland pla...

Monday at noon there will be a tragic event on the Hill. I will be in mourning for my country. An old, obese, mentally challenged man will take the oath of office as your illegitimate president. It will be another dark day in the saga of Donald John Trump. For the first, and God willing, the last time in our nation’s dark and sordid history a convicted felon, a confirmed sexual predator, and our nation’s biggest traitor will become your country’s 47 th and most controversial president. However, his inauguration will be held inside the Capitol Rotunda. The last time a presidential inauguration was held indoors was 40 years ago when another old man, Ronald Reagan, was inaugurated for his second term. The forecast for January 20, 1985 was a high of seven degrees at noon. Trump’s physical and mental health has been questioned by multiple politicos, including yours truly, and although the forecast for noon on Monday expects temperatures only in the 20’s, Trump is incapable of surviving the...

A draft dodger, a bully, a womanizer, a con artist: these are all terms which can accurately be used to describe Donald John Trump. Words which cannot be attached to Trump are caring, compassionate, kind, intelligent, generous, or leader. Like all egomaniacs, Trump enjoys having power over others, but is incapable of accepting even minor criticism from anyone. A little-known fact about Trump’s first illegitimate presidency has been ignored and probably hidden from the American people by the mainstream media, adds to the analysis of the real Donald Trump. After the federal execution of Billie Allen in 2003, not a single death row inmate had been executed by the federal government until 2019-2020. Trump approved of and even hurried the deaths of 13 federal prisoners. After his controversial reelection last November 5 th , he pledged to increase the number of executions after his inauguration. In an obvious response to Trump’s blood lust, President Biden recently commuted the death senten...

Lindsey Graham has cemented his legacy. He will forever be remembered as “the biggest wimp in the Senate.” From June of 2015 until November 8, 2016, Graham attacked Trump and rightfully claimed that he would be a danger to our nation’s future. However, after John McCain lost his battle with cancer in 2018, he gleefully surrendered himself to the orange buffoon. Since that day in August, Graham has become one of the biggest hypocrites in world history. The Senator from South Carolina renounced his morals, principles, integrity, and self-respect to the worst man in the world. I was watching television and another Republican legislator, whose name I do not remember said, “if Trump tells us to jump three feet high and scratch our head, we do it.” This is what is wrong with Washington and what is so revolting about Graham. Loyalty to a political party has become priority number one for every Republican politician. Loyalty to a group of criminals calling themselves a political party overshad...

  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...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you follow politics, and you should, you will most likely remember Paul Ryan for two reasons. When he agreed to be Mitt Romney’s running mate in 2012, he prevented Romney from embarrassment. He was certain to be crushed in the coming general election. Ryan, once considered as the hope of the GOP in the 21 st century, failed to impress voters, and President Obama easily won a second term. The second reason to remember the reluctant Speaker of the House is his opposition to Trump’s candidacy in 2016. He denounced the legitimacy of a Trump presidency, and became a member of the “anybody but Trump” club. However, after his inauguration, Ryan bowed to Trump’s every unconstitutional and destructive demand. WHERE IS RYAN NOW? Ryan resigned from congress, but did not leave politics. He is now a member of the Board of Directors for FOX “the real fake news” News. Ryan continues to attack Trump, not for what he has done to our nation’s future, his constant violations o...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Ted Cruz is one of the few people in the world for which I am unable to find one positive attribute. By his own actions, he has proven himself to be the biggest hypocrite in America, its worst Senator, and a traitor to the people of Texas and our nation. Never forget that in his first year in office, 2013, he obeyed his benefactors, the Koch Brothers, and was instrumental in forcing a government shutdown. His loyalty is not to the American people, but in support of the super-rich. Cruz is running for a third term in November. Six years ago he won by a slim margin, and according to the polls his actions over the last six years could place him in a position to lose his seat to a Democrat. I assume he is fully aware of this possibility and is running scared. Therefore, in classic Republican style, he is attempting to reinvent himself with blatant lies and misrepresentation of the facts. Lie: “I try very much to have my focus be on the policies and sub...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   There is a solid reason why Ted Cruz will always be known as the worst senator in American history. He sucks. First elected in 2012, after he took office in January his first effort was to shut down our government and put thousands of federal employees out of work: except he and his fellow Congressmen .    A Man with no Spine, who is Void of Dignity and Integrity   During the 2016 campaign, he refused to fight back when he was constantly insulted by the orange buffoon. Trump didn’t stop there. He literally called Cruz’ wife “ugly.” Cruz refused to defend Heidi. Then he baselessly accused Cruz’ father of assisting Lee Harvey Oswald with the assassination of JFK. No response.   Now for the part which reveals levels of cowardice and hypocrisy I had never seen. When Cruz suspended his campaign, he began kissing Trump’s humongous derriere and worked for his campaign. I couldn’t make this shit up. He is now one of the leaders of the rig...
