Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart All “Republican” politicians are part of what makes America a far worse country than any other in the world. I have a long list of names which prove my allegation, but let me offer a few of the most obvious: Moscow Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Mike Johnson. None of these individuals care about you or me. Since 2017 they offered their loyalty to Trump and Vladimir Putin, ignoring the responsibilities they owe to the voters who made huge mistakes by surrendering to them their valuable votes: the only power average citizens possess. Yesterday a situation arose within the once Grand Old Party which proves that not a single man or woman on the right side of the aisle is worthy of occupying a seat in our federal government. Lindsey Graham has held a seat in the Senate since 2002. Normally, I would say that he “represented the people of South Carolina for the last 23 years.” However, in 2017, Graham abandoned his morals, integr...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Republicans are idiots, cowards, and traitors to the American people. As I knew they would, Trump’s senators passed Trump’s big bill, which will lessen the quality of life for our nation’s most needy and reduce taxes for his 813 oligarchs. America is mirroring Germany in the 1930’s. But why should Trump care? He is not an American. Trump is loyal to Vladimir Putin and continues to praise his idol, Adolf Hitler. He cares about Donald Trump, exclusively, and the power and wealth his position as America’s illegitimate president offers him. Red state voters, who blindly vote in support of right-wing candidates, live in the poorest states in the Union, and Trump’s policies will result in enormous harm to their future. Let’s call it what it is. In 1981, the once Grand Old Party began to separate itself from their democratic counterparts. Reagan demanded loyalty without dissention, or the audacity to question their leader’s actions. By 2000, the necessary tools to allo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Our Founding Fathers created a new form of government calling it a “Democratic Republic.” Their primary reason for leaving England inspired these courageous men to form a nation ruled by the people. Between 1787 and 1789 at the Constitutional Convention their focus was on issues which would guarantee the rights of all citizens and prevent any rule by a king or any other autocrat. Before they moved to the New Land, King George III declared that the Anglican Church would be the British Empire’s one, true religion. Our Founding Fathers were wealthy and influential men, and for each of them, this was the last violation of their rights they would be forced to endure. Each of them believed in freedom of and freedom from organized religion. To accomplish their lofty goals, they formed a government, calling it a “Democratic Republic.” The people would elect a president as well as the men who would form a legislature. There would be a third branch which would have a sing...

The Democratic Party is filled with cowards. However, 10 Democratic Senators displayed a distinctively higher level of cowardice last week when they voted for Republican’s terrible and destructive budget. Their act of waving a white flag prevented a government shutdown. Democrats are now calling for a vote to remove Chuck Schumer from his leadership role, and I agree. Schumer and Pelosi surrendered their power to fake Republicans and Trump over and over again. Real Americans need a determined, and strong leader who will do the right thing and say “fuck you” to Trump and his Nazi followers. Democrats reached their lowest level in October of 2016 after a meeting in the Oval Office with President Obama, Vice-President Biden, and the leaders of both parties, Schumer, Pelosi, Moscow Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan. The meeting was held at the request of all 18 national security agencies. It was confirmed that Vladimir Putin was interfering in our upcoming election in support of his puppet, D...

Democrats are cowards, and Republicans are liars and hypocrites. This is what it means to be a member of a failed political party. All political organizations are bad, some are just worse than others. It is not an exaggeration to claim that all Republicans are criminals and care only about themselves and their party. The truth is, the once Grand Old Party committed suicide in 2017. Democrats say all the right things but lack the courage to act decisively. Where do these facts fit into America’s future? As long as our choices at the polls are between these two failed political parties, our country has no future. The recent pardon of Hunter Biden by his father, the President of the United States, was courageous and the right thing to do. So why was Mr. Biden criticized by both Democrats and Republicans? You tell me: it makes no sense. Hunter Biden’s alleged “crimes” are seldom prosecuted. This situation was a Republican witch hunt and an effort to hide their many crimes over the last nin...

All Politicians are cowards, regardless of their party affiliation. They are more afraid of what might happen if they did the right thing than violating their oaths of office. Losing an election would force them to find a real job. Their license to steal from the American people would be revoked. Not a single professional politician spends more than 100 days each year working for the people. Most of their time is spent fund raising and lying to their constituents. Since Trump was gifted the Electoral College in 2016, the government of the United States has become the most corrupt and most incompetent in the world. Fewer bills have become law over the last nine years than during any other period in American history. Our Founding Fathers were “eternal optimists.” They were naïve and believed that their successors would possess the morals, principles, and integrity to improve upon their humble beginnings in 1789. However, they underestimated the frailty of humanity. The desires for great ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is virtually a fact that the primaries in 2024 are worthless. President Biden said he is running because Trump will be the Republican nominee. The only reason Trump is running is to avoid spending the remainder of his worthless life in prison.   The primaries have proven one thing, most Americans are not happy with the choices offered them in 2024, and I cannot criticize them for their displeasure.   However, the differences between the two old, white men are significant and obvious.   President Biden loves his country and his accomplishments for all Americans are impressive to say the least. He continues his attempts to unify our country and move our n ation forward into the 21 st cent ury. Our economy is growing faster than at any time since 2000. The facts prove that his successes greatly outnumber not only his immediate predecessor, but those of all three comb ined. He has been a working, patriotic, and American president. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Recently MAGA Republicans backed away from a bill agreed to by President Biden, a bill they asked for many times. It would have virtually closed our nation’s southern border with Mexico. Their only reason for reversing their position 180 degrees were words from America’s worst former president. I am no fan of Ronna McDaniel However, her only reason for removing herself as the Republican leader in the RNC is Trump’s demand that she steps aside. His plan to replace her is founded on nepotism. His plan is to place forgotten son Eric’s wife in this powerful position. TRUMP IS A POWERLESS COWARD AND A BULLY I ask, “why are today’s fake Republicans afraid of Trump?” His only weapon is the hot air coming from his lips. He has no powers other than those surrendered by right-wing politicians and his fascist cult. Over the last nine years we watched two situations unfold. What began in 1981 came to fruition on January 20, 2017. With the inauguration of Donald John Trump c...
