Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2025, your illegitimate president took an oath. Every word he uttered on those two dark days was just another Trump specialty: a lie. "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". It is clear to me that Trump has never read the Constitution. It is also abundantly clear that every day he claimed to be your president, he violated the First, Fourth, or 14 th Amendments, and on some days all three at once. It makes me ill to hear the word “Constitution” come out of his mouth, and sickens me to see him hug the flag. America and the American people mean nothing to Donald John Trump. From the day of my birth until January 19, 2027 BT, (Before Trump), I knew my beloved country was not perfect, but overall, our people believed in compassion, understanding, to...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Benjamin Netanyahu is the reason why there has not been peace in the Middle East for nearly three decades. His policies are the primary reason why there has never been peace in the Middle East. Netanyahu has always believed in the policy of “land grabbing” from his Palestinian neighbors. He has moved to genocide; attempting to remove all Palestinians from Gaza. Meanwhile, one of his greatest admirers, Donald Trump, is engaged in ethnic cleansing in America. Netanyahu has enjoyed his Hitler-esque attacks on the people living in Gaza. His hatred for the Palestinian people has been openly displayed for decades. In recent attacks more than 64,000 men, women and children have been slaughtered. To put this into perspective, the War in Vietnam, from 1955-1975, resulted in the loss of over 59,000 American men and women. Trump’s personal support for Netanyahu was displayed a couple of days ago. He has now ordered the repeal and end of humanitarian visas for the people wh...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I must be blunt, regardless of who this might offend. Trump’s kidnapping and incarceration of innocent men, women, and children in his hastily constructed concentration camps is in fact an effort to “ethnically cleanse” America. Anyone who ignores the obvious truth is too fucking dumb to be allowed their right to vote. Trump is achieving his goal of removing anyone who is not white from our country. His personal gestapo, composed of thugs and villains who are members of his Nazi army, enjoy their use of physical violence and torture simply because they can do anything They are protected by their Fuhrer, and can do anything to anyone they choose, including physical assault and torture. ICE was as moronic a decision as the Patriot Act by another Republican president. It just happens to be unconstitutional, but nobody cares in Trump’s America. Trump is currently seeking the approval of a federal judge to allow “racial profiling” to increase the number of in...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump was born on June 15, 1946. Benjamin Netanyahu came into this world on October 21, 1949. They are both old, white men who live in the past. However, these are only two of the personal traits  they share. Both men claim to love their countries. Both are liars. They love what their countries can do for them. Both men talk about the law, but have no respect for their Supreme Courts, or the laws agreed to by the World Court, protecting human rights and preventing atrocities, including ethnic cleansing and genocide. At this very moment, Trump is engaged in ethnic cleansing. Netanyahu has murdered tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza, in what can only be called ‘genocide.’ Not only do both old men choose to force their people to live in the past, where hatred, racism, and bigotry were commonplace, they have chosen to become dictators, renouncing their elections as democratic leaders. I feel it necessary to make some thing...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, Trump confirms his position as the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. He is being a good little soldier and following the plans contained in his 922-page fascist manifesto, Project 2025. Thanks to six traitorous and corrupt members of the Supreme Court, the Constitution is not worth the parchment paper it was written on. The United States of America no longer exists in the form created by our Founding Fathers. However, allowing the fat old fuck pretending to be your president to build concentration camps on American soil to incarcerate the people on which he is enacting his own effort to ethnically cleanse our nation, is totally unacceptable. He may be Hitler’s clone, but allowing him to mimic every action performed by his hero is going too far. There have been multiple reports about inhumane treatment in Trump’s concentration camps. This is definitely not my America. His latest effort to deport or kill non-whites is located in a Florida swamp. He and ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was born in 1946. Israel was granted Statehood in 1948. To the best of my knowledge, the nation of Israel has received unwavering support by our government. Without American support, Israel would have been destroyed by its Muslim neighbors long ago. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, share a despicable commonality. Both bigots are engaged in a form of ethnic cleansing or genocide. Trump is attempting to remove all Americans who are not pure white from our nation. Netanyahu is obviously murdering the Palestinian people who once resided in Gaza as quickly as possible. 90 percent of all of Gaza’s former residents have been displaced: their homes, businesses, schools, and hospitals have been destroyed by the Israeli military, with weapons  supplied by the United States. Only 32 percent of all Americans support Netanyahu’s total destruction of Gaza. In Washington, some Democrats are questioning Israel’s motives, and are concerned about the Pa...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One of the great stories of the 20 th century was the recognition of Israel as a State, a Nation, by the United Nations. A 1960 movie starring Paul Newman, Eva Marie Saint, Lee J. Cobb, and Sal Mineo titled “Exodus” told the story: a story of courage and determination like no other. Although the movie was nearly three-and-one-half hours long, it was inspiring and fascinating. However, its length and repetition of the facts was criticized by Paul Newman and others involved in the production. This cannot diminish the importance of a real-life story, but it was in its own way a prophecy of what was yet to come. When Israel’s right to exist was recognized in 1948. 40 years later, in 1988, leaders of the Palestinian people in the area applied for equal representation by the United Nations. Their request was denied when the United States and Great Britain, both members of the Security Council, vetoed their application. The history of the people of Israel and the peop...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “I will end inflation on day one.” “When I am president, I will end the policy of taxing tips.” “On day one, I will end the war in Ukraine.” “I will be too busy making great deals to play golf.” These and more Trump campaign promises were all lies. What Trump has done is fire government employees who actually worked in Washington, and passed legislation that will eliminate healthcare for as many as 60 million Americans, and give additional tax cuts to his 813 oligarchs. Under the guise of “immigration reform,” Trump and his personal gestapo, ICE, have begun what can only be called ‘ethnic cleansing.’ Another “accomplishment” was to add two totally unnecessary flagpoles on the White House lawn. His next plan is to use 200-400 million dollars to construct a ballroom inside the White House. Is this really important in a nation which is bleeding money as fast as Trump can waste it? Trump is seldom in the “People’s House.” Most of his time is spent golfing or partyin...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Five weeks ago there were protests in downtown Los Angeles. The majority of the marchers were peaceful and voicing their anger at Trump for his illegal and immoral attempt to “ethnically cleanse” America of Hispanics, and anyone else who is not pure white. Local networks filmed a few less peaceful incidents, including a trash can set on fire, and one overturned vehicle. However, the right-wing propaganda machine, Fox News, did just the opposite. They showed their audience the few situations which were displays of extreme anger, and would be considered vandalism. This misrepresentation of the situation prompted your idiot in the White House to send the United States military into downtown Los Angeles to end the “massive violence.” 2,000 members of the California National Guard, and 700 active-duty marines were sent to the City of Angels without cause. 2,700 of our nation’s finest accomplished the arrest of one man for disorderly conduct. Today they are doing noth...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 249 years ago today, July 4, 1776, our Founding Fathers declared their independence from the country of their birth, England. King George III considered this an act of civil disobedience. We all know what it really was, an act of courage, and a revolt against a powerful and ruthless despot. It required great courage to have faith that the people of the new nation wanted their freedom as much as they did. They rightfully believed that the majority of men and women now living in a new world, a new nation, wanted the same things, freedom from and of religion, freedom of thought, freedom of choice, complete equality, a government which works for people, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, and protects and encourages open and honest dissent. The rest is literally history. A band of farmers, hunters, merchants, and tradesmen defeated the largest and greatest army in the world because freedom, and individual rights were worth dying for. Sa...

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 ...
