Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart To any American with common sense, it is obvious that Trump supports a government shutdown. He is making an attempt to blame Democrats. However, progressives/liberals do not control a single one of our nation’s three branches of government. One thing, which has bothered me since I learned about the idiotic policy of a “debt ceiling,” Is how this punishes the only men and women who actually work in Washington. Those responsible for failing to perform the jobs for which they were elected or appointed will continue to live normal lives. Three unnecessary, corrupt, and incompetent groups will continue to receive their salaries and benefits: the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our government. These are the most overpaid men and women in our nation’s capital, living lives of luxury and privilege at taxpayer expense, although they do nothing for all 340 million Americans. I offer you one example of how unfair this bullshit is. I cannot deny that the TS...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is an irrefutable fact and a travesty. Trump and his American Nazi Party is intent on “dumbing down the American people.” With few exceptions, Americans in “blue states” are better educated and more informed than residents in “red states.” Two presidential elections prove the facts. The 2016 and 2024 election were rigged. A combination of interference by Vladimir Putin, James Comey’s last second investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server, the mainstream media offering more coverage to Trump than all other candidates combined, and Fox, the right-wing’s propaganda machine, brainwashing its viewers with lies and baseless conspiracy theories, conspired to give the worst, least qualified candidate in history not one, but two undeserved and illegitimate victories. Now, in 2025, Trump’s totally unqualified administration is continuing its efforts to make fools of American voters. Look at these headlines and what they mean.   “Watch Live: House to...

Did I miss something? Did your ballot include the name of the wealthiest and one of the biggest morons in America? Was he a man with no experience in anything other than engineering who lost millions of dollars ruining twitter? Was that name Elon Musk? It is clear that we have one very old white man and one middle-aged white man in control of our nation’s future. Neither is qualified to hold public office at any level. Recently it was believed that the House would vote in favor of the Senate’s stop-gap plan to prevent a government shutdown. However, when Musk told the idiots on the right side of the aisle to vote against it, they obeyed. Later in the day Trump agreed with the fool from South Africa. Who’s running this country. I can tell you that it doesn’t appear to be the aging orange buffoon. I know that’s a good thing; or is it? I think America is f**ked. On Friday, just hours before a government shutdown was inevitable, Republicans in the House agreed to a temporary solution. In M...

A few writers like me, who focused on the life of Donald John Trump, know him well. From 2015 until today, the world’s population was given an opportunity to look beyond the illusion and discover what his hidden behind the lies and misdirection. I know that regardless of his diploma and claims about being a “stable genius,” he is poorly educated, and lacks a level of intellect which allows average men and women to think logically and speak clearly and intelligibly. He literally knows nothing about anything of importance. Bluntly: he has no common sense or frame of reference which allows him to relate to the majority of mankind. Trump told us that he “learns everything he needs to know from television,” colloquially known as “the boob tube.” Anyone who cannot or refuses to read is an uninformed, ignorant individual. If you know, as I do, that Trump has a very low-level intellect, this part of the story will find you asking the question: “just how dumb are Republican members of the House...

America is a strange country. It claims many “firsts,” and all of them are moronic and destructive. Corporate profits are of far greater importance than the quality of life for more than 340 million people. Most legislation which would improve the lives of the majority are never addressed and never come to the floor for a vote. I continue to claim that the federal government of the United States is the mot corrupt and incompetent in the world. I can prove my allegations easily and simply. I begin with the Electoral College. No nation in the world allows states to choose their president, or leader by another name, than America. In every other developed nation, the people choose the woman or man who will lead them. Because the Electoral College exists, we have “red and blue states,” which divide our nation and remove credibility from the election process. America is also unique in the fact that it is the only nation in the world not to have universal healthcare. Only in America is the hi...
