Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fact: There are no true Republicans in Washington today. In 1981, Ronald Reagan forced every Republican to take an oath of absolute loyalty. This was the beginning of the end of the once Grand Old Party, and the destruction of our Founding Fathers’ system of governance. Reagan’s three successors, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump, adopted the same failed policies initiated by Reagan: absolute loyalty without dissention and free thought, and the failed fiscal policy of “trickle-down economics.” When George W. Bush and his V.P. Dick Chendy ignored the warnings of our security agencies and went on vacation in 2001, refusing to take their admonitions seriously. The result was one of the darkest days in American history: September 11, 2001. It was George W. Bush who overreacted and in several situations, including his reelection campaign in 2004, used the outrage and fear of the American people to secure victories for his personal agenda. It was the ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “What was in it for them? They’re all suckers and losers.” The former was a statement made to his aides when Trump was in France to honor the brave Americans who lost their lives in WWI. He did not attend the ceremony. It was confirmed in 2016 that Trump’s Daddy purchased deferments from a podiatrist preventing his useless son, who grew up in a wealthy family and extreme white privilege, from serving in the Vietnam War. The old, obese, fascist coward is honoring himself and his claim to the title of Commander-in-Chief with a costly and unnecessary military parade this weekend. Sunday just happens to be his birthday. Coincidence? I think not. Another of his endless lies claims that this act of a ruthless and heartless dictator is to honor the 250 th anniversary of the United States Army. It could have been planned for a more symbolic day, such as combining the event no real American will watch with our nation’s 249 th birthday on July 4 th . However, Trump is t...

Trump’s actions in Los Angeles are an undeniable display of fascism. He will follow this disgusting attack on American values with a military parade on Sunday, his 79 th birthday, an action demanded exclusively by dictators. Hitler hated the Jews. Trump, in an act of “one upmanship,” revealed to us that he hates anyone who is not pure white and rich. What the mainstream media is not talking about speaks volumes. Dozens of fake journalists continue to show their support for Trump, not for the American people. Between January 20 and today, he has done nothing for 340 million American people. Not a single promise has been addressed. He continues to spend every rare minute he is in the White House seeking revenge and destroying the lives of innocent men, women, and children. The majority of his time has been spent chasing a small, white ball through the grass or rubbing shoulders with his oligarchs at Mar-a-Lago. As he did for four long years between 2017 and 2021, he continues to use his...

Trump’s policies are a combination of Mein Kampf, and Project 2025. From his first rally in 2015, his message was composed of anger, hatred, and violence. In 2017 his first actions revealed his hatred of all non-whites and non “Christians.” He followed Reagan’s policy of disregard for the working class and support of the mega-rich whom we call billionaires, or oligarchs. He made it very clear that he would not serve anyone who chose not to support him and his anti-American policies. Trump believes that he has joined his biggest idol, Adolf Hitler, in becoming America’s Fuhrer. And, why shouldn’t he? The Supreme Court gave him absolute immunity and he has become a vile and ruthless dictator over the last four months. His actions in Los Angeles are unforgivable and unconstitutional. What angers me the most is that our military leaders are not required by law to attack our nation’s people, nor are they required to perform for the dictator in celebration of his 79 th , and hopefully last b...

The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of our federal government are completely dysfunctional and the situation is irreparable. Our military is useless. It is the largest and most expensive in the world, but hasn’t won a war since WWII. It was unwilling to protect our legislative branch from a violent insurrection, organized, planned, and executed by your illegitimate president. All of these complete failures continue to allow Trump to violate the Constitution every day, and commit the most egregious crimes in American history. In addition to violating the Emoluments Clause, he is holding America’s institutions of higher learning, the Department of Justice, and agencies whose only purpose is to expose government fraud hostage until they comply with his demands. Only in the story of America does a schoolyard bully win against all odds. Our “leaders” are cowards, frauds, and hypocrites. Next Sunday, June 15 th , and although he has no authority to demand their cooperation, Tru...

My father, and four of my uncles on my mother’s side of the family, fought against Hitler’s fascist army in WWII. My mother was one of many women we affectionately labeled as “Rosie the Riveter” at Boeing’s Seattle plant during the war. I am an original baby boomer, born in 1946. I despise Trump for many legitimate reasons, but one of the most important is the fact that he calls the men and women who gave their lives to preserve freedom in WWI and WWII, “losers and suckers.” Today, this traitorous, illegitimate president is following the Republican’s fascist manifesto “Project 2025” exactly as he wrote it. When he was much younger, Trump read the speeches made by Adolf Hitler over and over again. In 2017 and again in 2025, Trump is using Hitler’s tactics to control his ill-informed “basement dwellers.” He learned that if you tell a lie often enough, the people will eventually accept it as fact. Most people will accept extreme belief in extreme forms of loyalty, falsely considering thei...

A military parade in honor of his own birthday: accepting a bribe from a country which supports Hamas: pissing on the First Amendment constantly: these are just a few of the crimes committed by Donald John Trump. He must no longer be called the “American President,” because he is not an American. He must be referred to as “Dictator Trump.” I condemn the mainstream media for refusing to call Trump what he is. Their cowardice to inform the American people of the truth is tantamount to treason. They no longer deserve protection under the First Amendment. Trump is most definitely following the right-wing’s 922-page fascist manifesto, Project 2025. Trump has his minions in place. More than one-half of our government is now the American Fascist Party. He owns the corrupt Supreme Court. The military is loyal to their Fuhrer, not to their country and its people. He has his personal gestapo, known as ICE, rounding up anyone who they might conceive to be illegal residents of our country. “Show m...

  This title is obviously what millions of voters were thinking when they stood in a voting booth on November 5, 2024. Now they know the answer to their question: “Trump is much worse than anyone could have imagined.” Let’s look at one fact offered by the orange buffoon today. Trump pardoned more than 1,500 violent criminals who committed acts of treason on January 6, 2021. They were acting on his orders, but he will never pay for the ultimate crime against our nation. President Biden, understanding Trump’s childish need for revenge, pardoned the men and women who were performing their duties, investigating the insurrection on January 6. Trump has committed many crimes and many acts of sexual impropriety during his sad and useless 78 years and 9 months. The one thing he has never done and never will do is to “do the right thing.” Trump will always follow his own personal rule: “do whatever serves Donald Trump, and fuck everyone and everything else.” Trump will ignore the Rule of La...

I have a question to which I know I already have the answer, but I want you to tell me what you believe, unless you have been brainwashed by Trump and Fox News for the last 10 years. If you look at the facts and listen to your heart, would you describe Trump as a dictator today? Let’s begin with the facts, something Trump, his party, and his supporters hate more than anything else in the world. As he did in 2017, Trump is violating the Constitution every day he remains your illegitimate president. He is exercising powers which do not belong to the executive branch. In 2024, the corrupt and biased Supreme Court appeared to give him absolute power. However, this is not a reality. The once respected Court has become the most prejudiced and corrupt legal entity in American history. When our Founding Fathers wrote and signed the Law of the Land in 1789, their primary goal was to guarantee that the executive branch was the least powerful of all three “separate but equal” branches of our gove...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First a fact which confirms how corrupt the government of the United States has become. For decades those who are intended to serve all Americans in Washington hid corruption including grievous felonies from the voting public. Most recently our failed politicians hid the fact that Russia was interfering in the 2016 election in support of Donald Trump although they knew the truth prior to election day. The results of Robert Meuller’s investigation into collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign team required years to complete. When it was “released” to the public, Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr retracted it so heavily it was unreadable. His intention was to hide the truth. Today, October 2, 2024, the American people were allowed to know condemning facts about Trump’s failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021. If you watched the darkest day in America’s history on television as I and my wife chose to do, you have no illusions about what we saw with our...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This week I watched film from June 6, 1944, known as “D-Day.” This day marked the beginning of the end of WWII. As I watched these old, black and white films, I couldn’t help but wonder who was going to die in the war to remove fascism from the free world. I know that if Trump watched any of the broadcasts, he called them all “suckers and losers.” This was not the first time. In 2018, while in Paris to honor our fallen WWI soldiers at a cemetery outside of the City of Lights, he refused to attend the event, and was overheard calling them “suckers and losers.” I would expect nothing less from a man who read Hitler’s speeches before he went to sleep each night, and was himself a draft dodger. THE LEADER OF THE NEO-NAZI MOVEMENT IN AMERICA As Trump continues to use Adolf Hitler’s game plan, and speak his words, we know that he is the leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America. He revealed his association with these hate groups in 2018 as a white supremacist rally t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you choose to be ignorant and Trump is elected in November, you will “get what you paid for.” He will not be a president who ser ves our nation and its people, he will use his powers to pardon himself from his own crimes, including treason and espionage, and exact revenge on every true American who would like to see his humungous derriere behind bars for the remainder of his disgusting life , where it belongs.   “America isn’t easy.” This was a line from “The American President,” spoken by actor Michael Douglas.   Think about what this means, because it is very true .   WHETHER AMERICA SURVIVES OR CEASES TO EXIST IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY AMERICAN   The United States of America is a lazy nation in the 21 st century. Everyone wants the easy wa y , the quick way. No one wants to work long and hard for what they want. Produce farmers in California will confirm that younger, American citizens refuse to work in their fields...
