Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart All Republicans are hypocrites, liars, serve Trump, not the American people, are totally incompetent, and corrupt. That is common knowledge. However, no one can fully describe Democrats. The reason we don’t know who or what they are is simple: they are cowards who are afraid to do the right thing. They are more focused on winning elections than serving the needs and wishes of the American people. Another problem is that Republicans have no problem with committing crimes and fighting ‘dirty.’ After all, the old, obese man they choose to follow and serve has been convicted of 34 felony counts based on fraud. Democrats in Washington are mostly useless. However, Democratic leaders in several states are willing to match their Republican counterparts and take less than ethical actions to halt Trump’s destruction of our country. [Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee, speaking in Chicago this week. “This is not the Democratic party of your grandfather,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s much easier to ‘rig’ an election than you might think. In a world which continues to experience advances in technology at supersonic speed, the best men and women in this field are the true leaders of a military force which has the ability to dominate the entire planet. I believe that Vladimir Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine is a smokescreen. It is no secret that Russian hackers are the best in the world. “I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.”-Albert Einstein In the 21 st century, the world has changed but it cannot move as quickly as the advances in electronics and technology. I sincerely believe that WWIII has begun and the most frightening and powerful weapons are the minds of a select group of computer geniuses. Months after the 2016 election, our government finally admitted that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump. However, our leaders lied ...

How can we prove that the House of Representatives is dysfunctional? The Freedom Caucus is in control. In January of 2015, a small group of right-wing extremists calling themselves the Freedom Caucus took control of the House of Representatives. There are 435 members in the House, and right-wing extremists control the majority and have since January 3, 2022. Although the misnamed Freedom Caucus only has about 42 members, they are so extreme in support of their fascist leader, Donald Trump, cowardly moderate Republicans surrender to the demands of the few in a sad display of misguided loyalty. You know some of their names: Mike Johnson, Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, and until recently, Matt Gaetz. Knowing these woefully unqualified members of the House are part of this fascist-leaning group gives you some insight into the lack of integrity, morals, and true patriotism among these 40+ individuals. With the Freedom Caucus radicals in contro...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is virtually a fact that the primaries in 2024 are worthless. President Biden said he is running because Trump will be the Republican nominee. The only reason Trump is running is to avoid spending the remainder of his worthless life in prison.   The primaries have proven one thing, most Americans are not happy with the choices offered them in 2024, and I cannot criticize them for their displeasure.   However, the differences between the two old, white men are significant and obvious.   President Biden loves his country and his accomplishments for all Americans are impressive to say the least. He continues his attempts to unify our country and move our n ation forward into the 21 st cent ury. Our economy is growing faster than at any time since 2000. The facts prove that his successes greatly outnumber not only his immediate predecessor, but those of all three comb ined. He has been a working, patriotic, and American president. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I woke up this morning, booted up my laptop, and began to scan the headlines, as usual. I looked for information I did not know, or fully understand. I found nothing to write about on this Thursday morning. I have read or written these same stories multiple times. The names have changed, but the crimes against our country and humanity in general remain the same. Unfortunately, Donald Trump remains topical, not for anything he has accomplished, but for his most recent criminal activities. George Santos, who is the most illegitimate member of Congress in history, remains in office. His constituents decided not to remove him, although he has been charged with multiple felonies, like the previous criminal in this paragraph. Alabama’s “chosen son,” Tommy Tuberville, continues to reveal what happens when ignorant voters select a former football coach with no experience in a normal lifestyle, to represent them in the Senate. War rages on in the Middle East, a sit...
