  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This situation did not exist one month ago. Today, the 2024 presidential race is between two candidates who are literally as different as male and female. Two months ago the voting public would have been forced to choose between two old, white men, neither of which excited the electorate. Today, only one, old, white man remains in the race, and he is displaying signs of decline in both his physical and mental abilities. At a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday, Trump displayed his lack of ability to focus on the issues of his campaign and revealed his desperate need for personal approval. [Donald Trump obsessed over Kamala Harris’s appearance yet again during a campaign rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Saturday – this time declaring that he’s “better looking” than his Democratic rival and mocking those who call her “beautiful”.] He continued with what he considered the most important issue of the day. “Time magazine doesn’t have a picture of [H...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The only thing Trump and President Biden had in common were that they were both old, white men, too old to be our nation’s president. Beyond those simple facts, the differences in every aspect of life are extreme. However, Vice-President Harris and Trump are drastically different in every, single aspect. ABILITIES, EXPERICENCE, PERSONALITIES Let’s begin with an issue Trump created and is now paying for that mistake. Trump decided to make President Biden’s age the issue in 2023, although they are just three years apart. The nation was not pleased with having to choose between two white men who were both hovering around the age of an octogenarian. You see this difference at their rallies. Kamala Harris rallies are raucous, and energetic. They are positive and filled with an atmosphere of hope and excitement Trump’s a smaller, quieter, and composed of an old white man whining and complaining. He never talks about what he will do for our nation whi...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am one of the guiltiest people in the world. I have literally written hundreds of derogatory articles about Donald Trump, and his hypocritical party. I am not apologizing: everything I write is the truth. However, a general election must be about the candidates and what they will accomplish for all 330+ million people over the next four years. Let’s look at their qualifications and what these two octogenarians have accomplished over eight decades. TWO MEN, VIRTUALLY THE SAME AGE. WHO WILL BE ABLE TO  SERVE THEIR COUNTRY, THEIR PEOPLE BEST? I know you are already judging me. I referred to both candidates as “octogenarians.” I am aware that Trump reached the age of 78 in June; I am exactly three weeks younger. However, trust me when I say that the difference between 78 and 81 is non-existent. When you are lucky enough to reach an age exceeding the national average, you become aware that age is truly just a number. Hopefully, you will maintain most of your ph...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This is an old story. It involves a disgraced illegitimate president, a former pastor of a Texas Mega Church turned sexual deviate, the ugly profession of politics, and the most common evil in America today, hypocrisy. I have no doubt most of you know my position on organized religion. If you do, you also know that I admire anyone who is devoted to his or her religion, but I also condemn anyone who uses their perceived religion as a tool to enhance their personal lives. Over my 78 years, I learned that one religious leader, who is nothing more than a con man, is frequently responsible for the growing number of Americans like me who reject all organized religion. About one-third of all men and women in this country, 100 million, no longer attend services at churches, synagogues, mosques, or temples devoted to a single faith. The truth is, the number of new converts to Chistian faiths is in decline. THE CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS RIGHT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND THE R...

    Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is not running on his record as your illegitimate president between 2017 and 2021 because it is blank. With the exception of permanent tax cuts for the already super-rich not a single accomplishment can be linked to Trump or any of his incompetent staff over four years. However, the story is exactly opposite for President Biden. Lowering Costs of Families' Everyday Expenses. More People Are Working Than At Any Point in American History. Making More in America. Rescued the Economy and Changed the Course of the Pandemic. Rebuilding our Infrastructure. Historic Expansion of Benefits and Services for Toxic Exposed Veterans. The most meaningful gun control legislation in 30 years. Protected marriage rights for the LGBTQ community and interracial couples. Historic confirmation of the first Black female Supreme Court Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the appointment of numerous diverse federal judges. President Biden influen...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One of my personal disappointments concerns average Americans. I am convinced that most Americans are uninformed, unaware of what is happening in our country today. Millions choose to believe lies from right-wing politicians and their propaganda machine, FOX News but ignore the truth. I am pleasantly surprised to report the fact that President Biden is the most successful, and accomplished President since Bill Clinton in 1999. CHOOSING TO BE IGNORANT IS VERY DANGEROUS The Wall Street Journal reported this fact: America’s economy “far outperformed expectations over the past year and a half.” However, more than one-half of all Americans continue to believe that our nation’s economy was better when Trump was pretending to be their president. Irrefutable facts prove that accomplishments Trump claimed as his own, were actually programs put in place by the Obama Administration. The absolute truth is that over four years, Trump spent 90 percent of his time golfing, par...
