Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Campaign promises, campaign promises broken. This is Trump’s legacy. The biggest problem in America today is the economy. For the majority of our nation’s people, it’s all about “Greedflation.” Trump promised to end the problem on day one, but it has become far worse over the last 15 months. His unilateral decision to wage war on Iran has become a very serious problem, and the reason everything is more expensive. Gas prices are outrageous and will continue to increase. The second biggest problem began its escalation ten years ago. Although right-wing politicians made attempts to create fear in the United States about the danger of terrorist attacks like 9/11, the greatest danger to all Americans comes from within. It is known as domestic terrorism. WHY HAS OUR GOVERNMENT IGNORED THE UNNECESSARY INCREASE IN MASS SHOOTINGS? From 2017 until today, there have been more mass shootings in America than days on the calendar. On March 2, 2021, former FBI Director, Christ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After his failure to protect our nation’s people from the attacks on 9/11, George W. Bush championed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, and ICE. None of these actions were necessary. America had agencies in place to protect our nation, but they lacked sufficient funding and competent leadership. Actions by the Bush Administration were purely political; efforts to secure victories in the midterm elections. For the next three years, Bush and his party controlled our nation with fear tactics. Every speech, every news conference contained references to 9/11 ad nauseum. The Department of Homeland Security wasted no time in proving its incompetence. With the use of emotions, it controlled our nation’s people for the next several years. Under puppy killer, Kristi Noem, it has become an asset for Trump’s personal Gestapo. The Patriot Act removes protections guaranteed to every citizen under the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th Amendmen...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has no sense of humor. This is an undeniable fact, based on the fact that his weak, little mind cannot accept even the most minor criticism. The only times I have witnessed a smile not forced by necessity on his wrinkled old face, is when he is meeting with hiT  

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I pride myself on being an informed, caring, and today, a frightened American. Obviously, I despise and reject our current government. It has devolved into the most corrupt and incompetent body of governance in the world. Its leader is clearly the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. Five words repeated by every professional politician incessantly are intended to hide the growing level of corruption in all three branches of a government which are failing to perform in a manner designed and designated by our Founding Fathers. These words are “for reasons of national security.” Today, one of Trump’s “armies” is revealing the true ambitions of America’s biggest traitor, who is supported and encouraged by his handler, Russian President Vladimir Putin. If you are one of the few who refuse to watch television “news,” and take the time to read, you are fully informed and know the truth about what is happening inside the confines of what was our nation’s most cherished Whtie ...

For the many Constitutional Violations and breaks with normal and well thought out practices prior to their invasion of Washington D.C., Trump and Musk should be locked in a holding cell right now. However, one arrogant old man who ignores the Law of the Land, Elon Musk, is violating a direct order by a federal judge and at the same time violating the Constitution. Remember, this incompetent man from South Africa has no respect for the law or rights of the American people. The ignorant old man is nothing more than a racist interfering in our nation’s government, and although he is forbidden access to Social Security records, he has found a way to circumvent the judge’s order. Remember, he does not have a security clearance at any level. My wife accidentally discovered a website intended to mislead current and new Social Security recipients. The lies offered are dangerous and a reason to place Musk in prison for many years. Of course that won’t happen, In America the rich and powerful a...

On January 20, 2025, the United States of America took its last breath. A country cannot exist without laws: laws which are equally applied to all of its citizens without exception. On January 20 of this year America’s most destructive convicted felon was sworn in as your president. In no other nation in the entire world would a man who committed treason on television for more than three hours be allowed to remain free. To allow him to run for the presidency was one of the greatest crimes in history and will go unpunished. The greatest dangers to America are entities which control our legal processes, and possess the responsibility to protect the Law of the Land, the Constitution. Both have been corrupted and are now members of the treasonous American Nazi Party which supports Trump and his anti-American supporters. The two most important positions in the Department of Justice are the Attorney General of the United States and the Director of the FBI. A little background about the two i...

It began on January 20, 2025 and is happening today. Our government is facing a Constitutional Crisis. Every day since his illegitimate inauguration, he has violated the Constitution as he attempts to obtain ultimate and irreversible power. To the uninformed American, it appears that Trump and co-president Elon Musk are making all of the decisions. However, it is a fact that neither of these men is capable of governing the most powerful nation in the world. Being rich does not make you smart. Outside of America, most world leaders believe that Vladimir Putin is the wealthiest man in the world. His assets are well hidden. Some assumptions are that his personal wealth is nearly one-trillion dollars. It is Putin who began his assault on the future of the United States in the 1980’s, and it is he who is in charge of our nation’s future today. He now has two puppets doing his bidding. It was Trump who first met with Putin in Moscow in 1987. I find it disgusting that Musk, Bannon, and other ...

On January 20, 2017, Washington was changed forever. It’s composition for 241 years had been men and women who were patriots, loyal to the American people, and most were intent upon improving the lives of all Americans, while keeping them safe from our enemies, both foreign and domestic. However, since 1981 the former Grand Old Party began moving further to the right, and it was clearly divided between Moderates, the Tea Party, and a new fascist-leaning group calling themselves the Freedom Caucus. When Trump began his reign of terror, every man and woman calling themselves Republicans began to bow to the wannabe Fuhrer. Today’s Washington is filled with Fascists, Nazis, Incompetents, criminals, Traitors, and now Q’Anon Conspiracy Theorists. Here’s the latest from one of Trump’s woefully unqualified criminals pretending to be the Secretary of Defense. Pete, “the Drunk,” Hegseth and “Trump administration officials at the Pentagon invited antisemitic right-wing conspiracy theorist and ser...

The second, the sequel, of any movie is always worse than the first. This is extremely accurate when looking at the first two weeks of Trump’s illegitimate current administration. It will be remembered as a gang of criminals and greedy oligarchs: not a single credible man or woman among them. Let’s take a look at some of Trump’s “only the best people.” Let’s begin with the man confirmed by a corrupt and cowardly Senate as Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. Hegseth is a former Fox News personality. His credentials include arriving at work drunk, and other escapades when he was removed from various venues for drunken and disorderly conduct, stealing funds from two veteran’s charities he led, and paying off a woman who accused him of sexual assault. His own mother called him a sexual predator. He will be in control of the Pentagon and the largest and most expensive army in the world. How about Pam Bondi? She is Trump’s choice for the powerful post of Attorney General, the highest law enf...

Before I get into the nuts and bolts of this story, I want you to consider three questions as you read it. One: Does Elon Musk have the highest security clearance available? Two: Did he violate the Espionage Act by hacking into the national treasury’s computers? Three: Did Musk use the same hackers to rig the 2024 election for Donald Trump? The arrogant billionaire is not an elected official, or a nominated member of Trump’s White House staff. He is a rebel activist who heads an agency which is not official and has no place in our government. Musk is an interloper. Trump has given Musk many of his powers, confirming the undeniable fact that his old brain is in steep decline. It is obvious that Musk speaks for Trump. “Department of Government Efficiency” is a made-up name for a non-existent government agency. Its very name is proof that our government wastes most of its time on frivolous matters, or serving the demands of its oligarchs. Musk believes that he is your president. He is tak...

The hearings to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense in the Senate are scheduled to begin today. It would be extremely difficult to find a less qualified nominee. Trump could have chosen son Eric, or possibly Sean Hannity; anyone but Hegseth. However, Hegseth does not stand out among the incompetent criminals and sexual deviates selected by the draft dodger. He is simply another future resident in the asylum: the new name for the White House. Soon it will become a reality: “the inmates will be running the asylum.” Hegseth and Trump have a lot in common. The FOX News personality also paid hush money to a woman after she accused him of sexually assaulting her. Trump consistently stole funds from his own charity. Hegseth was forced to step down as the CEO of two charitable organizations, Veterans for Freedom, and Concerned Veterans for America. The accusations included financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct. Like Trump, he was accused of being a lifel...

The House reneged on its past policies and decided not to hide the ethics investigation into Matt Gaetz actions, claiming “for reasons of national security.” He is far worse than anyone would have believed. His drug use is far more pervasive than we were led to believe. He spent huge amounts of money paying for sex. Not only did he frequently have sex with young, underage women, he transported some across state lines. One more thing which confirms the idiocy of the people of Florida. They elected and reelected the criminal. In January, with their “Don” returning to the White House, the Washington Mafia will be intact. Never, never forget that your “stable genius” president nominated a man without morals and principles for the office of our country’s top law enforcement officer. The big question is the same question real Americans ask about Donald Trump: why are they not in a federal holding cell awaiting trial for their many crimes. I know of cases where law enforcement uses the slimme...

The names Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth are interchangeable. Their history proves that they are depraved sexual predators, have addictive personalities with drugs and/or alcohol, and are confirmed but not convicted criminals. The one difference is that the furor over Gaetz based on several Congressional investigations forced him to remove himself from the nomination to become the Attorney General. Hegseth has no integrity or self-esteem and continues to fight for Senate confirmation as Secretary of Defense. I say, “what the hell! All of Trump’s nominees are woefully unqualified and have a dark past. Why not allow another another ‘Trump clone’ to defile the West Wing?” Let’s be totally honest about this serious situation. Members of a president’s cabinet and nominees for other critical institutions including the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Environmental Protection Agency, have extremely important jobs necessary to sustain the American way of life. To suggest that a no...

  Trump must be “punking” America. His list of nominees to head important agencies is composed of some of the most laughable men and women in America, none of which is qualified to make decisions about their own lives, and definitely not our nation’s future. If he is serious about them, he is without a doubt the dumbest son-of-a-bitch on the face of the earth. There is only one alternative: he wants to destroy every department in our government and end the existence of the United States forever. The list is long, and I don’t know everything about each of the lowlifes Trump selected. However, I can give you the highlights, or rather lowlights, of a few woefully unqualified selections. To be fully accurate, I must go back in time and look at his choice for Vice President. Once a huge Trump critic, whose comments were often brutal and more frightening for Trump, accurate, J.D. Vance is disliked by Democrats and Republicans alike. Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick was onc...

All “Republicans” are hypocrites. For the last nine years they defended Trump although he has been confirmed as our nation’s most prolific lifelong criminal. They even forgave the most egregious crimes possible: treason and violating the Espionage Act. After President Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, right-wing extremists screamed loudly to the press. Trump’s communications director, Stephen Cheung spoke for all men and women sitting on the right side of the aisle. "The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system," Cheung said in a statement. "That system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all Americans, which is exactly what President Trump will do as he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people," he continued. There is no justice in America. Regardless of your opinion about Hunter Bi...

The scandal was exposed in March of 2016 by “Crew.” The Attorney General for the state of Florida was a woman by the name of Pam Bondi. She accepted a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation intended for her reelection campaign. The problem is, charitable foundations are not allowed to participate in any form of politics. Why would Trump steal money from his own charitable foundation and give it to a state official when he was living in New York City? You might remember the now defunct Trump University. It was deemed a fraud by a federal judge, and Trump was forced to pay restitution to the “students” he swindled. One of the states considering a deeper investigation into the fake university was Florida. The paperwork deciding whether or not the state would engage in an investigation would be in the hands of the state’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi. After receiving Trump’s illegal donation, she abandoned Florida’s efforts to dig deeper into Trump’s alleged efforts to steal money from ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I believe that there are many more members of our federal government who are criminals than we are aware of. Hiding corruption under “for reasons of national security” is proof that the American government is the most corrupt and therefore the most incompetent in the world. However, three men are well-known for their crimes, and they have never been punished. Two are members of the House of Representatives and one has been allowed to run for the presidency thanks to a biased and criminal Supreme Court. The Constitution is now null and void. I know there are others who have openly committed lesser crimes, including support for Neo-Nazi groups who seek the end or our democratic government, and are in violation of the ethics clause. However, these three have been the most newsworthy. JUST TO NAME A FEW Jim Jordan was an assistant coach for the men’s wrestling team at Ohio State University. The team’s doctor was charged and convicted after several members of the tea...
