Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is always fair to ask any professional politician one question: “what have you done for me lately?” They make promises during their campaigns they never intend to keep, and must suffer the consequences of those lies. No one has accomplished less than Donald John Trump, and no one has made more promises he never intended to keep. In 2020, Trump and Moscow Mitch McConnell broke rules they made in opposition to the intent of the Constitution, and completed stacking the Supreme Court with a  ‘super majority,’ six supporting the right-wing’s extremist policies and three performing their jobs as required by the Constitution; all women from ethnic backgrounds not considered “pure white,” in other words, “real Americans.” Trump sought reelection for two reasons, neither of which involves caring for 340 million people. First, he was desperate to remain a free, old man. His many crimes, including treason and violating the Espionage Act, were under scrutiny and faci...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart DOGE was another stupid idea which became a reality because an idiot is allowed to violate our nation’s White House. Trump claimed its purpose was to reduce the deficit by trillions of dollars. However, this idea failed. What actually happened made the United States a more dangerous place to live. Men and women who performed jobs necessary to ensure safety and security in America were reduced and dissolved. Domestic terrorism, the result of Trump and his fascist party’s failure to lessen gun violence in America, has been the greatest danger to the American people for a decade. Trump sanctioned DOGE’s firing of healthcare officials, research scientists, men and women who protected our people from government corruption, and those who kept our commercial airlines safe. I worked for a commercial airline for 10 years at LAX. Much of my days were spent in operations. My function was to ensure that every aircraft was supplied with the fuel it required, and the cargo an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a very dumb man. If you don’t like my blunt words, stop reading now. By his own words and actions it is obvious that he did not earn his degree from Wharton. I have no doubt that Daddy Fred bought his diploma in the same manner he purchased deferments which prevented Trump from doing his duty and serving in Vietnam. This is why he had all of his academic records sealed in January of 2017. 99 percent of the world’s economists agree that placing outrageous tariffs on imports is moronic. However, there are two things everyone should learn about the old man defiling our White House. Trump has no idea how to administrate America’s economy. He is a serial failure in the business world, and a seven trillion-dollar budget is far beyond his comprehension. The second reason is based on his only tactic in the business world. Trump is a schoolyard bully. Tariffs are a tactic only a bully would use, not a man educated in an Ivy League business college. Trump’s tarif...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The story of an “Antichrist” is found in the Old Testament in John 1, 2, and 4. However, John states that the Antichrist is not singular, but includes many who deny the teachings of Jesus Christ and seek to take his place on earth. I am convinced by his words and actions that Trump is indeed the Antichrist of the 21 st century. He opposes everything taught by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. [Love: Jesus' teachings place love at the very center, urging followers to love God and love their neighbors as themselves. This love extends to enemies, demonstrating a radical approach to compassion and forgiveness.] Trump preaches anger, hatred, violence in his name, and revenge. He has spent his first five months in office seeking revenge against anyone he perceives as his enemy. This need to spite those who disagree with his fascist policies is the direct result of his lifelong disease, Malignant Narcissism. Malignant Narcissism: “Malignant narcissism is a form o...

If I had an iota of respect for Trump, I would never use such an expletive. However, his choice to violate the Constitution, to ignore the law completely, is pissing me off in ways I never imagined in my most frightening nightmares. What is happening in Los Angeles is Trump taking a huge shit on the Law of the Land. It is a crime to use our nation’s military to wage battle against its own people. Trump ordered National Guard troops to quash the protests against his racist immigration polity in the City of Angels. That did not solve the problem. He is now ordering about 700 United States Marines to do whatever is necessary to halt American citizens from exercising their First Amendment rights. When will this shit end? If our military “leaders” continue to bow to the Nazi in the White House, how can America be saved? When Rodney King was beaten so badly that he was near death in 1991, the four police officers involved were tried in 1992 and acquitted by a racist jury. President George H....

Your illegitimate Dictator-in-Chief is one of the dumbest humans on the planet. A cursory examination of his actions and words confirm that Donald Trump is a poorly educated old man with a very low level of intelligence. His failures at everything, beginning with an almost immediate loss of the 421 million dollars his father gave him to start his own real estate empire, and culminating with his justifiable reputation as the worst president in history, prove that the man pretending to be your president today is a con man and a complete fraud. Only a blithering idiot would suggest shining a bright light into your ass, or drinking bleach to kill Covid-19, and only a moron would deny scientific fact, including the disastrous effects of escalating climate change. Trump’s first 85 days in office have been focused on the destruction of the accomplishments of his predecessors. Only fools destroy the good and celebrate the bad. His childish efforts to take revenge on his adversaries are the act...

“Stupid is as stupid does.” Not only is Trump incapable of solving our nation’s most serious problems, he doesn’t care. He does not represent you or me, he works for his oligarchs. Voters claim that their reason for giving their precious vote to Trump was based on his promise to end inflation on day one. He lied, again, when he told the American people that he cared about them. Prices are increasing once again, as Trump lies, claiming that they are lower than they were on election day. The only necessity which declined in price and availability is the price of eggs, but that was inevitable. Trump is so stupid, he thinks that I am stupid. I have watched his failures for more than a decade. He shares one thing with the second worst president in history, George W. Bush. Both of these men who grew up in an atmosphere of extreme white privilege, failed at everything they attempted, including their illegitimate presidencies. Trump will lie, claiming that he is a “great businessman.” However,...

If you saw a recording of Trump’s explanation for placing a 90 day pause on his moronic tariffs, I hope you had as great a laugh as I did. First, he was definitely lying. However, his explanation, although it was a lie, was so convoluted and moronic, I was forced to reevaluate my opinion about his intellect. It is clear that your illegitimate president, Dumbass Trump, is dumber than a bag of rocks. Or maybe not. The stock market crash was followed by a record surge when on Wednesday Trump announced a 90-day delay in the implementation of his tariffs, with the exception of China. Anyone who purchased stocks at their lowest point made billions when Trump placed a moratorium on his tariffs. Is this fraud? Is this stock price manipulation. Trump and his oligarchs must be fully investigated, but will it happen? America has become a nation without laws for the rich and powerful. Was the tariff situation a ‘smokescreen,’ and if so, will an obvious act of insider trading be ignored by the most...

The deed is defined by a single word, tariffs. Although your poorly educated and illegitimate president was warned about the danger and the futility of levying tariffs on other nations, allies and enemies alike, the arrogant old man levied tariffs on 185 nations last Wednesday. At least one of these nations has zero population, but he and his morons were unaware of those facts. It must be noted that although 185 nations were involved, Russia and Saudi Arabia are not included. Trump owes his entire existence to the leaders of these two countries. Russian oligarchs and the Saudi Royal family literally bailed him out of possible bankruptcies multiple times. They own him. Last Saturday hundreds of thousands of American citizens protested Trump, Musk, and the entire “Republican Party’s” failures. Handmade signs offered demands from “Hands Off,” to “Impeach Trump.” Although Trump has been the most hated man in the world for at least 10 years. The level of disgust previously levied against hi...

Claiming that wisdom comes with age is only partially accurate. We tend to long for some of our past. Physical pain and limitations are frustrating. However life teaches us how to handle these difficulties. For some unfortunate men and women aging includes mental challenges: these are far more difficult to endure. Life is an experience and the greatest teacher of all. One of the most valuable lessons I wish I had learned 50 years ago involves physical possessions. If I had to guess how much of the money I earned was wasted, I’m pretty sure the number would be at least 50 percent. Not being a wealthy man, my biggest expenditures were automobiles: they were much cheaper in the 1970’s. I always found money in my budget for a car payment. Although we didn’t have cellphones and the desire to have the latest version each year, we did have our vices. While 60 percent of all Americans struggle paycheck to paycheck in the 21 st century, the other 40 percent waste money we need to survive. Unti...

One of the prime directives of the Republican Party’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, was to dismantle the Department of Education. No intelligent or well-educated man or woman who loves his or her country would ever support Trump, Musk, or his Nazi-loving supporters. Trump’s own failings are the reason he hates educated and informed people. Above all he fears the truth and men and women who are far more intelligent than he. I can swear on your bible that Trump is the author of what is a modern adaptation of Mein Kampf. Every idea in the vile and destructive document originated from a promise Trump made during one of his hate rallies. Project 2025 is a 922-page document with step-by-step instructions which if followed closely, will end democracy forever, and establish a fascist regime ruled by one Donald John Trump. Remember this: immediately after his pitiful and illegitimate inauguration on January 20, 2017, the malignant narcissist had all records related to his education sealed. I...

Trump has been making promises he never intended to keep since 2015. I write a lot about his complete failure to keep his promise to end inflation on day one. He has ignored the situation for nearly three months. Another of his biggest promises in 2024 involved “ending surprise medical bills.” His co-president, oligarch Elon Musk, just fired most of the men and women whose purpose was to protect patients from being “ripped off” with unnecessary treatment costs from medical professionals. By my count, this is his 522 nd broken promise over the last 10 years. Trump lacks the knowledge and will to accomplish anything for all 340 American people. Everything he does is focused on increasing his personal wealth and power. He is without a doubt Putin’s Puppet: he owes the Russian president his very existence and has been indebted to him since 1987. Trump is not my president and never has been. He is totally incompetent, but his unwillingness to do the right thing for all of America’s people ...

Co-presidents Musk and Trump aren’t good at much. Trump’s entire life is a history of failure. Musk’s Tesla vehicles caught fire, his SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft has blown up twice, one of his Cyber Truck’s exploded in Vegas, and he is now destroying every part of our government which was actually working. All three branches of our government are corrupt, biased, and support the right-wing fascist manifesto, Project 2025. They are good for nothing. The people who actually worked in Washington and accomplished things based on our most important issues, are now looking for new jobs. Trump’s life has been a disaster. When he took office in 2017, one of the first things he did was to seal his educational records. We know that daddy Fred bought deferments which prevented him from being drafted into the military during the illegal war in South Vietnam. It is very clear that he also paid for his diplomas from military boarding school, and Wharton Business College. Trump is the worst public s...

  I was lying in bed this morning thinking about the last two-and-one-half weeks. I was musing selfishly and thinking about what it means to me. I realized that in my 78 years, the same number of years of life as Trump, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, my feelings for my country have changed. Unlike the politicians who share my age, I witnessed America from the real world, the world most of our country’s people share with me. When I was a boy entering first grade, I believed that America was the greatest country in the world. Of course, by the time I was in high school, I realized that the country I worshipped was not perfect, not by a long shot. Although I began my interest in politics at the age of 10, it became far more serious before I was in my 20’s. The debacle known as the Vietnam War greatly altered my view of the men and women who served in Washington. The first men who were sent to a war halfway around the world were in my age group. They were drafted into a war with...

The Bully President It has been 17 days since Trump and Musk began their reign of terror, although it seems like years. I think it’s time to give Trump his first report card. I warn you, the Bully President has not done well. Economy, F; Making Americans Feel Safe, F; Keeping his Oath of Office, F; Foreign Relations, F; Uniting our Nation’s People, F; Choosing the Best White House Staff, F-. On the plus side, in the category of suggesting moronic ambitions which would waste time and cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, he receives an A+. The Economy . Inflation remains a problem for most of our nation’s people. Trump promised to lower prices on day one, but has ignored the needs of our nation’s people entirely. Although he was warned repeatedly, his tariffs will destroy free trade and create a trade war. Prices will rise drastically, and the GNP will take a huge dive. Another effect of an unwise economic policy is the alienation of some of our closest allies and neighbors. M...

Trump is the “Antichrist,” the “Great Pretender.” However, he would not have risen from the depths of hell if one man had the courage to support the Constitution. I cannot predict how history will remember Moscow Mitch McConnell. If it is a truthful accounting, his 40 years in the Senate will be revealed as four decades of support for himself and his party. There is not a single record of accomplishing anything of a positive nature in his life. He has never served the majority of our nation’s people: he ruled over us since 1985. The Great Destructor, the Antichrist, continues to destroy every positive action by his predecessor, a true American and a lifetime patriot, President Joe Biden. However, none of this would be happening if Moscow Mitch had chosen to obey the Constitution. Trump was impeached for cause twice; in 2019 and 2021. The first impeachment came after Trump violated the Constitution as he attempted to bribe the President of Ukraine. The second was for “obstruction of jus...

Trump does not know how to accomplish anything. Like other worthless public service employees, he is an expert at undoing the great things accomplished by others. Trump is THE greatest weapon of mass destruction in history. In just a day and a half Trump 2.0 repeated his action of 2017. He issued many executive orders repealing the accomplishments of his predecessors, most specifically Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The “village idiot” is proud to have pardoned more than 1,500 Nazis who worship Putin and Hitler. Our government spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and thousands of man hours convicting the scum who attempted to overthrow our government. These are his people. What a “great” man. Now we know for certain what “Make America Great Again” really means. Welcome to the Nazi States of America. Trump is a poorly educated, illiterate old man, Therefore, he misused the word “accomplishment.” He believes that destroying something good is the same as accomplishing something. You el...

  In February of 2016 the most radical right-wing Supreme Court ju stice, Antonin Scalia, died suddenly. There were nine months before the next election.    However, Moscow Mitch McConnell violated the rules specified in the Constitution, and made his own rule, claiming that no Supreme Court justice would be confirmed during an election year. He would break this rule for his own benefit in October of 2020. Merrick Garland was President Obama’s nominee.   I am one of many who believe that as our Attorney General under President Biden, Garland will be remembered as the worst in history. After Trump planned, organized, and executed a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021, no charges were filed by the Department of Justice.   My wife and I watched all three hours of the attempted coup, and there is no doubt Trump committed treason. The facts prove that if Garland had the courage to do his job, Trump wou ld not be taking the oath of office on Mond ay . Garland pla...
