Dear Readers Google owns the site I use for my blog. Sadly, Google's executive branch supports the worst man in the world, and continues its efforts to censor and block the truth I offer all of you about the orange buffoon. I will never surrender to fascism. If this continues, I will change the provider to and honest and American company. Thank you for your support and please don't give up on America James Turnage/THEWISEOLDFART  

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.” If you see something with your own eyes, it is reality, and cannot be questioned or denied. Trump is an idiot, and nothing proves this fact more than when he attempts to convince the American people that what they see is not real, and what he tells them is the only reality. The term is “gaslighting.” ["Gaslighting" (often misspelled "gaslighting") is a manipulative tactic where someone makes a victim question their own reality, memory, or sanity, creating self-doubt, confusion, and dependence, often to gain power, by denying events, trivializing feelings, or twisting facts. It's a form of psychological abuse, making the victim feel "crazy" or like they are "overreacting".] Trump’s biggest problem is that he thinks all Americans are as dumb as he and his followers choose to be. With our birthdays just three weeks apart, I would challenge the orange buffoon t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is highly likely that I have written at least one article about every evil act committed by Trump, his Fascist Party, and his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Much of the damage caused by Trump and his Nazi supporters is irreparable, at least for several decades in the future. I hate Trump and what has become the American Nazi Party. I never use that word. However, Trump has earned its use by me and any loyal and patriotic American. The underlying truth is undeniable. Everything which is happening to our country from the most corrupt politicians in history is farcical. None of it is real, and all of it proves that evil is real, and if there was a “God,” He or She is definitely dead. The following is a short list of what is real and what is not. A real President of the United States follows the rules contained in the Constitution. Trump violates his oath of office, to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, fo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike the mainstream media, I refuse to tiptoe around the edges of the truth. I will always jump right into the middle and tell you what’s really happening in Washington. Whatever country in which I live today, it is not the United States of America. In just one year Trump has destroyed the ideals, principles, and the reputation of a nation which was once the most respected in the world. Trump intentionally creates chaos, fear, and anger throughout the world every day. He is the worst and most hated man in modern history. Inside America, the statement made by former FBI Director, Christopher Wray, that ‘domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people,’ has become a reality. What he did not predict is the fact that the leader of domestic violence in America has become the old, obese man violating our White House today. His personal Gestapo is a poorly trained group of thugs, villains, and Nazis posing as “law enforcement officers.” ICE is perfor...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I despise and attempt to eliminate from my life emotions of anger and hatred. I reject all forms of violence including the death penalty, and all wars and invasions. Anger is a waste of time, hate is almost always based on ignorance. Killing another human being is playing God.. There are rare exceptions to hatred, and there is no better example than Donald John Trump. Trump’s entire 325-350 pounds are composed of hatred. He, his administration, his political party composed of Nazis, and all broadcast television networks claiming to be “conservative,” but are in fact propaganda machines for right-wing extremists, constantly spread hatred which eventually breeds violence. His deliberate effort to destroy our nation from within is the reason every true American learned to accept hatred for the orange buffoon. As I grew into adulthood in the 1960’s, I paid more attention to what was happening in Washington. I wasn’t shocked, but I was a little surprised about the an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 2025 was a very, very long year. Some of you may have forgotten that Trump’s attacks on America began with efforts to punish minorities and the poor for not being rich and white. Diversity, equity, and inclusion, known as DEI, is a purely American ideal. If we are all equal under the law, and share the same Constitutional and Human rights, it simply makes sense. However, Trump is a Nazi. His fascist policies, contained in the right-wing’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, claim that all non-whites, and all ethnicities not originating from Western Europe are inferior, and therefore not protected by the Constitution. It’s commonly called “white supremacy,” and Trump is its leader. The United States District Attorney, and the Department of Justice, including the FBI, are intended to be separate from the executive branch. However, Pam Bonie and her DOJ take their orders directly from the orange buffoon. Tood Blanche, Deputy District Attorney, and another Trump stooge...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart War Crimes can be added to Trump’s dark and dismal resume. He is not alone. Our military brass, those who hide in the Pentagon, are complicit with the worst man in the world. Beginning in his early days, Trump revealed his worship of Adolf Hitler. Several friends of his first wife, Ivana, were told that he read Hitler’s speeches every evening before going to sleep. Today, the fifth day of a new, and possibly last year of life on planet earth, Trump has begun his own fascist plan for world domination. His efforts have been sanctioned by his own party, the Supreme Court, and the Pentagon. He also has a partner in his vile plans, his mentor, Vladimir Putin. The United Nations Security Council is currently in session to discuss Trump’s latest crimes against humanity, and international law. The UN chief António Guterres told ambassadors there must be respect for national sovereignty, “political independence and territorial integrity,” after warning on Saturday that t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As an original baby boomer, patriotism was all around me. My father had returned from a ship in the Pacific in 1945. He had survived the war to prevent the spread of fascism. I was born in Lewiston, Idaho, in 1946. With jobs now plentiful in Los Angeles and other major cities, my maternal grandparents, me, my mother, father, my little brother, and one of my uncles moved to the City of Angels in 1952. In the fall, I was sent to St. Mark’s Elementary School to attend 1 st grade. Every morning our teacher, a nun, had us face the American flag standing in the corner and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Those words, and their meaning, will live inside my head for the rest of my life. However, in 2025, they mean nothing to the orange buffoon defiling our White House. Today is the first day of 2026: a new beginning which offers hope for the return of democracy, and freedom to all people living inside the United States of America, regardless of race, sex, religious pre...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that after nearly five years as your illegitimate president, Trump has accomplished nothing of a positive nature. The reasons for this are many, but I have no doubt it began before the orange buffoon reached puberty, if he ever did. There is no information about Trump’s childhood. What we do know is that his parents no longer wanted him in their home and placed him in a local military boarding school at the age of 13. I have no doubt that it was during this time that he became a schoolyard bully. He is a coward, and all schoolyard bullies are cowards, ordering others to do his fighting for him. This continues today. His success as a Manhattan real estate mogul is a fable. The New York business community tells tales of his bribing public officials in charge of inspecting his construction projects, and threatened anyone who attempted to expose his crimes. At least six bankruptcies, and bailouts by Russian oligarchs and the Saudi Royal Family saved ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every twisted decision Trump makes adds to a long list of proof that he is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. His most recent action makes no effort to hide the fact that your illegitimate president considers anyone who is not white inferior to himself and his fascist party. [Andrea Lucas, head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, released a video last week calling for white men who claim they’ve been hurt by diversity policies to file claims to potentially “recover money under federal civil rights laws.”] If this was not so obviously supercilious, I would be laughing right now. As a child, my single mother and her small family were poor. However, we lived in an area of Los Angeles which benefitted from white privilege. Although I was unaware of how racist my country was until the age of 12 or 13, I watched the news and I learned that most Black Americans were not only poor, but disenfranchised by those in power. In 1962, I escaped from my Ca...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is a waste of time to read or watch the “news” in 2025. Most of it concerns the evil and destructive actions of the worst man in the world, Donald John Trump. Two days ago, there was another mass shooting in America. This one occurred at Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island. A lone gunman killed two and seriously wounded nine more. However, this will remain the headline for just a single day. Mass shootings in the United States have become commonplace. Since 2017 there have been more mass shootings in America than days on the calendar. However, Trump’s crimes, including murder, sexual depravity, efforts to ethnically cleanse our nation, Constitutional violations, and efforts to enact revenge on anyone he perceives to be an enemy, capture most of the news broadcasts on television, and a large portion of print news and on the internet. My America no longer exists. What was a nation composed of compassion, understanding, and a desire to grow and become ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart At a hearing last week, Congress demanded to know who was responsible for the murder of two survivors after a missile struck their boat and were obliterated by a second missile. This happened on December 2, 2025. The question shouldn’t have been about who ordered the second strike, a war crime by definition, but why would any American choose to commit such a vile crime against human beings they had never met? The problem lies in the fact that the Pentagon has become politicized. Anyone holding the rank of colonel or vice-admiral and above has become a member of the worst, most evil profession in the world: politician. Where is my country? Why has the most vile and disgusting person in the world, pretending to be your president, been allowed to remain in our White House? Let’s be totally honest about the situation. Pete Hegseth, the least qualified Secretary of State in history, is guilty of murder and committed a war crime. Admiral Bradley violated the Uni...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s a sad fact that I was not surprised that Trump chose Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense. They are very similar. Both are white supremacists, sexual predators, and confirmed criminals. Hegseth is also a well-known alcoholic whose antics embarrassed everyone he knew. It was also important for Trump that Hegseth was a part-time personality on his personal propaganda machine, Fox News. Trump and Hegseth made a decision to attack a group of Democrats who offered advice to our military who are being forced to act like a Gestapo in our nation’s “blue” states. They made a public service announcement informing our men and women in uniform that if what they are ordered to do is a violation of federal law or the Constitution, they are not required to carry out those orders. Trump is not a confirmed fascist dictator. At least not yet. Nothing upsets Trump more than the truth. He is known to fly into rage at any moment when one of his illegal actions is exposed. Ne...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart By law, the military forces of the United States are forbidden to take action in any situation involving democracy in America. This law is under attack by your illegitimate president. When a small group of Democratic legislators made a public service announcement intended to inform our military that they are lawfully obligated to ignore commands by the Commander-in-Chief which violate the law, Trump suggested that punishment by death should be considered for their Constitutional obligation to obey the Law of the Land. He mislabeled the event as an act of “sedition.” Trump knows nothing about the law, he never met one he didn’t break. Now that six corrupt members of the SCOTUS  granted him absolute immunity, our nation’s greatest criminal will do anything he desires without fear of punishment. Trump and his gang of criminals and thugs have already removed the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th from the Constitution. How many more of our rights and freedoms will...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America has become the land of criminals. For the rich and powerful, laws do not exist. I am not referring to Trump: he is not the only person above the law in 21 st century America. Our country is controlled by Trump and an administration composed of criminals and anti-Americans. His 902 oligarchs have no interest in the welfare of 340 million Americans, they want more money and more power. I am more sad than angry. My younger brother and I were little boys in the 1950’s. I was born in 1946, John in 1948. We were raised by a single mother. I remain grateful that we grew up in the early age of television. This was our only source of entertainment. We watched every John Wayne “B” western, and every movie about WWII more than once. Our days in elementary school began with all of us reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. We didn’t know the word, but we were raised to be patriots. At the age of 10, I came home from school one day, turned on the black and white te...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart George W. Bush placed our nation in two unwinnable and costly wars. His lies and misleading allegations cost our nation dearly with the loss of life and nearly bankrupting our economy. His lack of oversight for Wall Street, and a failed fiscal policy of trickle-down economics, caused the Great Recession. However, a ‘knee jerk’ reaction to 9/11 resulted in two additional mistakes and crimes which continue to harm our nation today. A Republican led Congress passed bills which created the American Gestapo, known as ICE, and the Unconstitutional Patriot Act. On October 26, 2001, Bush 23 signed the Patriot Act into law. We were told that it was an effort to prevent another terrorist attack on our nation. However, it was far more nefarious. It allowed every law enforcement agency in America to detain any individual suspected of a possible act of terrorism, It also allowed these agencies to confiscate items found on their person, in their vehicles, and in their homes. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you don’t read and understand America’s history, the good and the bad, you cannot claim to be an informed citizen. The past should be our greatest teacher. If we don’t know about what came before, we are destined to make the same mistakes over and over again.. The period in America known as the “Gilded Age” occurred from about 1877 until 1900. It was a time of extreme decadence, greed, debauchery, unbridled racism, and just about any other fault weak human beings might envy. The super-rich used their wealth to buy politicians, law enforcement, and anyone else who might assist them in their efforts to increase their hidden bank accounts. It was America’s first plutocracy. Under Fuhrer Donald Trump, the United States is engaged in a second plutocracy/oligarchy: a second ‘Gilded Age.’ I admit to the fact that I didn’t realize this fact until Trump destroyed a huge portion of the people’s White House to build an edifice to himself he calls a ‘ballroom.’ Long befo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I continue to report the fact about how much I despise Trump for destroying the entire East Wing of the White House. It may mean nothing to you, but for me, a true patriot who grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s it is a symbol for everything good in America. Rich Americans are infamous for their destruction of “what is old,” and creating ugly and foreboding new structures. The destruction of the people’s most sacred home, and most historic structure, which formerly represented two and one-half centuries of American history and tradition, is now nothing but a memory. Trump’s moronic ballroom has never been a consideration for 249 years. However, now that an old, crude and tasteless dictator has been allowed to defile our White House, he is destroying everything good about our nation, replacing it with efforts to eliminate the very fabric of our the United States of America. I am a 79-year-old man who resisted hatred for all of my life until 10 years ago. Trump has f...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It doesn’t take a genius to look at Trump’s cabinet and closest advisers and realize that not one of these men and women are qualified to hold a position in our federal government. Among this group of incompetents are at least seven billionaires, at least one radical dangerous to our nation’s overall health, failed politicians, the wife of a professional wrestling promoter who taught him how to fake an attempted assassination. Your illegitimate president and vice-president are completely unfit to hold office at any level of government. They are the original “dumb and dumber.” Let’s be honest: America was founded on altruistic ideals and principles. However, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Monroe, Madison, and the others, underestimated the power of certain vices and the weakness of mankind, most significantly a desire for power and great wealth. Trump’s second administration is 100 times worse than the first. Trump and his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin, full...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Today, six members of the Supreme Court of the United States are right-wing extremists who support the fascist policies of their Fuhrer, Donald John Trump. Our Founding Fathers were not perfect: they made many mistakes. These mistakes were the result of their mistaken belief that their successors would improve what they began. They underestimated the faults of mortal men and their desires for money and power. The only reason for giving Supreme Court Justices lifetime appointments was to prevent them from becoming politicized. They believed that if they were not required to run for reelection, they would remain impartial. They were greatly mistaken, as we can all testify to today. America’s government is a system of checks and balances. The three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, were given ‘separate but equal powers.’ However, in 2025 the executive and judicial branches are abusing their powers, while the legislative branch is doing nothing, with t...
