Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Democrats are the party of progressive thought and action: for the most part. Republicans are the party of regressive thought and action, who are currently working to move our nation back into the dark days of our country when racism, bigotry, and extreme capitalism dominated every action occurring in Washington . For example, while 95 percent of the world’s climatologists claim that climate change is the greatest danger to our planet, and a danger which threatens world peace, those who call themselves “Republicans” deny science and deny the truth, that man’s dependence on fossil fuels is the primary reason. Most Democrats support all rights related to the LGBTQ community. Republicans are currently attacking a group of Americans who are among the most vulnerable: transgender citizens. The once Grand Old Party is dominated by men and women who harbor negative emotions, anger, hatred, and the incitement of violence in support for their fascist ambitions. None of w...

Mentally healthy human beings don’t want to believe the worst about others. We would like to believe that what we see, hear, and read is at least partially true or even untrue, depending on the situation. Humans want to find a reason to forgive the mistakes, crimes, and heinous acts by others. We look for reasons; things in their past which brought out the worst in another person. I hate to tell you the absolute truth, but in most situations, this is psychiatric bullshit. We are all born with free thought and free choice. During our preteen and teenage years we have an opportunity to choose our friends, make decisions about what comes next, and search for the truth. I know no one in my generation who lived lives depicted by television shows like “Ozzie and Harriet,” “Father Knows Best,” or “the Donna Reed Show.” For the most part, post WWII children grew up in dysfunctional families. PTSD, changes in family structure created during the War, new opportunities for women in society, and a...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I almost didn’t believe Trump had the cojones to tell this lie. When asked about the fascist plan for a second Trump president known as Project 2025, he responded: “I have no idea who is behind it,” the former president recently claimed on social media. Here’s the truth. More than 140 individuals who worked for Trump were involved in the creation of the document, including Ben Carson, Peter Navarro, and Stephen Miller. It has the support of Trump’s American Fascist Party, including Senator from Missouri, Josh Hawley. In a speech yesterday, Hawley admitted that he believes America is a Christian Nation, and supports the establishment of Christianity as our nation’s one, true religion. This is a major part of Project 2025. SINCE 2015 TRUMP SUPPORTED EVERY PART OF PROJECT 2025 IN FRONT OF HIS KLAN Trump is either lying or his dementia is escalating. Trump has talked about every part of Project 2025 since 2015. These are his ideas. He is so supportive of a fascist a...
