Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America’s economic future is no longer founded on a capitalistic society. I applaud this because capitalism is the reason for the enormous gap in income inequality. However, capitalism is far less destructive to our nation’s future than what is happening in the 21 st century. In the mid-1980’s, Reagan and his submissive administration abandoned the American people and began their support for Special Interests, also known as the super-rich, and our country’s most prosperous corporations. Massive tax cuts, the destruction of unions, and a war on the working class exposed the real Ronald Reagan. He had made a fool of millions of Americans, including yours truly. His fiscal policy of “trickle-down economics was a thinly veiled plan to increase the wealth of the super-rich. This doomed to fail policy began a decline in the quality of life for the majority. More than 40 years later, America has become a plutocracy/oligarchy; rule by the wealthy. Our nation's 989 ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike the mainstream media, I refuse to tiptoe around the edges of the truth. I will always jump right into the middle and tell you what’s really happening in Washington. Whatever country in which I live today, it is not the United States of America. In just one year Trump has destroyed the ideals, principles, and the reputation of a nation which was once the most respected in the world. Trump intentionally creates chaos, fear, and anger throughout the world every day. He is the worst and most hated man in modern history. Inside America, the statement made by former FBI Director, Christopher Wray, that ‘domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people,’ has become a reality. What he did not predict is the fact that the leader of domestic violence in America has become the old, obese man violating our White House today. His personal Gestapo is a poorly trained group of thugs, villains, and Nazis posing as “law enforcement officers.” ICE is perfor...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I learned in school about the atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi horde. I was about 12 when I read about the egomaniac who sought the elimination of an entire population and world domination. As a Catholic, we were taught about Judaism and the people who lived their lives according to the laws contained in the Torah. It was unimaginable that one man’s hatred would be responsible for the torture and deaths of millions of innocent men, women, and children. Could this happen again today in America? PUTIN IS WORSE THAN HITLER In 2024, the world is facing an even greater threat to the continued existence of humankty. His name is Vladimir Putin. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is a crime against every person in the world. He is slaughtering innocents for no reason other than to satisfy his own inflated ego. This little man obviously has “Bonapart’s Syndrome.” He is killing men, women, and children who have close ties with other men, women, and children in R...
