Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is not handsome, charismatic, a gifted orator, or a man in possession of superior intelligence. Why would any American support a man who has failed to accomplish anything of value in his 80 years? The answer is extremely disturbing. I HAVE BEEN WRONG ABOUT AMERICA FOR FAR TOO LONG I was born in 1946. As an original baby boomer, I can’t remember when I was not a true patriot. I believed what I heard: “America is the greatest country in the world,” and everyone wants to live in the United States. 80 years later, I know that it was all bullshit. First, America has never been a “great nation.” Issues which existed before the Constitution was signed in 1789 continue to exist today. America is a racist and bigoted nation and little has changed over the 250 years of its existence. There is no such thing as “liberty and justice for all.” If you are not Black, Hispanic, Asian, a Muslim, a member of the LGBTQ community, a woman, or anyone else who is not pure white,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Chaos, desperation, and fear are the predominant emotions occurring within the fake Republican Party today, October 23, 2026. You will never hear the truth on television. All major networks are owned by Trump’s oligarchs in the 21 st century. You probably learned to read at some stage of your life, Use what you learned and be informed: resist brainwashing. NO MORE “POLITICAL CORRECTNESS,” IT’S TIME FOR THE BRUTAL TRUTH The devil himself is controlling your life today. Trump’s illegitimate presidency was not a protest against the status quo, the plan to destroy the United Staes of America began in Moscow when Trump and his first trophy wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow at the invitation of the KGB. Vladimir Putin was the spy agency’s rising star in the 1980’s. His life’s ambition was the end of the very existence of America. However, unlike our current pretender sitting behind the Resolute Desk, Putin is very smart. A traditional or nuclear war would be futile, th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For 10, long years, every man and woman claiming to be a “Republican” bowed to Trump, lied to protect his violations of the Constitution, and pretended to worship him, fearing that he would turn his cult, who Hillary accurately called “a basket of deplorables,” against them. The right-wing’s base continues to move away from the former GOP’s growing number of failures. IF YOU BELIEVE IN POLLS: I DO NOT There is a long list of men and women who claim to be political savants. If they are right, and they seldom are, not just a “blue wave,” but a “blue tsunami” will occur on November 3 rd . It does make sense. Trump and his fascist party have accomplished nothing over the last 10 years with the exception of lowering the quality of life for the average American. Every “Republican” in America has kissed Trump’s humongous derriere over and over again, begging him to support them in the next election. The problem is, the next election is on November 3 rd , and Trump, him...

Unfi Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has never accomplished anything in his life without help from another person or persons. Although he claims to be your president, his two, rigged elections, were accomplished by his handler, Vladimir Putin, with the assistance of James Comey, and the mainstream media. Violating election protocol, America’s news networks, legitimate and biased, covered Trump’s rallies five times more frequently than all other candidates combined in 2016, including the most qualified candidate in American history, Hillary Rodham Clinton. I joined the efforts of America’s security services in 2015, and began my own investigation into the real Donald John Trump. As I learned about his life, the first obstacle I faced was a lack of information about his younger life, all the way to the time after he received a diploma from Wharton Business College. I learned that he was born into extreme white privilege in Queens, New York, on June 14, 1946. I found nothing more until he w...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A fact and a serious problem rarely discussed in America is our nation’s entire justice system. At best, a grade of C- is appropriate.  Some of these problems did not exist 70-80 years ago. However, when politics gets involved, the worst always happens. This is America in the 21 st century. WHAT AN ORIGINAL BABY BOOMER EXPERIENCED I am an original baby boomer, born in the summer of 1946. Although I was born in Idaho, my home, the place where I was raised, was in West Los Angeles, California. Where I grew up, most of the people living around me were white. I think my youth like the cover on the Saturday Evening Post. Each issue had a print of a Norman Rockwell painting displaying the most pleasant situations and occasions in our nation’s history. The one which made the greatest impression on me was a single policeman, in his blue uniform, handing an ice cream cone to a boy. I believed this was an accurate depiction of the relationship between law enfo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is so desperate, so afraid that he is about to lose all of his unconstitutional powers, granted him by six corrupt and biased Supreme Court Justices, he is resorting to even more ludicrous and ugly efforts. Lies are standard operating procedure for the orange buffoon, but calling Democrats and Independents “communists?” It may surprise the dumbest and most poorly educated man in America, but most Americans understand that communism is an extreme level of socialism, and always ruled by a ruthless dictator. All the working class is asking for is leaders who will include the majority in consideration when our nation’s economy flourishes. A large number now favor a form of “Democratic Socialism.” However, Trump’s preference is fascism, and wants to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler, his personal hero. Only the super-rich are allowed to live the “American dream.” The American people, the majority, also known as the “working class, are fed up with the fact th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret among informed American citizens that Trump idolized Adolf Hitler. He read the Fuhrer’s speeches over and over again, dreaming about the possibilities he might achieve in his own life. In 1987, Trump and his first trophy wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow at the invitation of the KGB. Vladimir Putin was its rising star. As you might expect, there are no records of their initial meeting. However, in 2013, while attending the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, compiled a dossier revealing secret meetings between Putin and Trump. Although the truth about Putin’s confirmed interference in the 2016 Presidential Election was not revealed until the election was certified by the Electoral College, it is now a proven fact that the Russian President’s interference was a factor in the results. Other reasons were misogyny among young male voters, James Comey’s 11 th hour announcement about a new investigation into Hillary C...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When everyone with power over our daily lives constantly lies about everything, how can anyone be trusted? Our government, all three branches and both parties: our civic leaders: the military brass in the Pentagon: federal, state, and local judges: law enforcement:  and in many cases, Christian leaders: everyone of these groups has an agenda, and hiding the facts, the truth, is beneficial for them, but not the American people. I WOULD BE REMISS IF I EXCLUDED THE MEDIA Freedom of the press is guaranteed by the First Amendment. Our Founding Fathers believed that the “Fourth Estate” was critical. They would report criminal actions and corruption occurring within our federal government. In 2026, all viable media outlets are owned by Trump’s oligarchs. All television media and a large number of our newspapers and blogs have reached a level of corruption not possible prior to the age of electronics and communication. You and I cannot trust a single thing we see or...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I had hope: that was the past. Since I began my growing interest in government and the ugly world of politics in 1962, as a junior in high school, at the age of 16, I have watched America abandon its integrity, its morals, its principles, and most significantly its belief in “liberty and justice for all.” With great sadness, I am obligated to tell you that my America is deceased. It happened in 2024, and only a few of us was aware of America’s demise. It happened when your illegitimate president was granted absolute immunity in all situations, public and private. However, the actions of six biased and corrupt Supreme Court Justices created a condition with far reaching ramifications, including the end of the dream of our founding fathers. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GREAT POWER IS GIVEN TO A MADMAN WHOSE GOALS INCLUDE ABSOLUTE POWER, OUTRAGEOUS WEALTH, ALL FUELED BY ANGER, HATRED, AND VIOLENCE Trump violates the Constitution with every breath he takes. His violati...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The highest tax rate for the super-rich is 37 percent, before they use the thousands of exemptions available to them, in 75,000 pages in documents related to income tax. Corporations have a flat rate of just 21 percent. This is what Trump and his fake Republicans have accomplished since 1981. The truth is clear and simple: Republicans place profits before people.  Independents, and some Democrats, know how to govern, placing the needs and wishes of the majority as priority number one. Your illegitimate president likes to call progressives “Dumbocrats.” He places wealth above the principles and ideals which once made America the most respected nation in the world. Your “know nothing” president is an abomination. HOW QUICKLY THEY FORGET Our Founding Fathers created a system for our government called a “Democratic Republic.” Their intention was simple and logical, but it had one huge flaw. Politicians all too often place greed and power ahead of the reasons for...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike Trump who cares only for his 989 oligarchs/billionaires, Alexandrea Ocasio-Cortez would be the people’s president. That said, let’s look at a recent event which is a perfect example of where the 21 st century is headed, unless radical change occurs immediately. WHEN WILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE COME FIRST? I am an Independent voter: always have been and always will be. I have complaints about both parties and they are the same: if you are an elected official in America, you fail to listen to the majority of our nation’s people. You fail to perform the job for which you were elected. You do not represent the people, you work for yourself. What happened yesterday in the House is a perfect example of why professional politicians are the worst people in the world. A bill was passed giving our incompetent Pentagon $1.15 trillion. Before learning more about the actual vote, I assumed that all Democrats voted against the proposal, and all Republicans voted for it. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In 2017, Trump and his fascist horde took control of our nation’s future. They’ve done a good job of destroying everything which made America a respected country by most people on the planet. While pissing on the Constitution, they succeeded with the destruction of democracy and the creation of a fascist government, necessary to protect the current plutocracy/oligarchy. The American people were warned prior to the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections that our freedoms were in danger if Trump was allowed to take a dump in and on the White House. How right they were. HOW I AND MILLIONS OF LOYAL AMERICANS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR NATION AND OUR LEADERS BEFORE 1981 Trump’s America is a nation filled with anger, hatred and violence. It begins at the top. Not once in 11 years have I ever heard a speech made by the orange buffoon which was presidential. Not once has he offered hope to the people, or offered plans which included improving the quality of life for everyone. Mea...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart All members of the Trump Party, most notably Stephen Miller and Elon Musk, and Trump’s enitre incompetent and corrupt administration, are without question loyal soldiers in Trump’s Nazi regime. But they’re scared. In recent Democratic primaries, a growing number of “Democratic Socialists” won elections. This clearly demonstrates the growing desire of our nation’s people to retake control of our corrupt and incompetent government, led by the worst old man in the world: Donald John Trump. TRUMP’S PRIMARY SUPPORTER IN THE 2024 ELECTION REVEALED HIMSELF Although Elon Musk and his family were never formal members of the South African Nazi Party, it was clear that their beliefs were aligned with Hitler’s own and those who continue to worship him today. When Musk spoke to the American people and offered a clear and undeniable Nazi salute. What most of us believed was confirmed. “Black Voters Matter” issued a statement we should all pay attention to. “We are deeply dist...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart All prejudices are baseless and therefore displays of extreme ignorance. The primary reason the United States of America has never been a great nation can be found in the fact that racism and bigotry among millions of our nation’s people have never been addressed honestly or taken seriously. It is a fact that hate is a stronger emotion than love. For the informed American, it has been no secret that whatever the party on the right side of the aisle in the Capitol Building calls itself, it has been composed of men and women who are racists and bigots for more than 45 years. It is much easier to accept and understand how easy it was for Trump and his handler, Vladimir Putin, to take control of our nation’s government when we accept the fact that absolute power over this nation has been the goal of one-half of our country’s elected and appointed leaders for more than 45 years. These fascist-leaning members of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There was a time when I held some respect for the late Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Grah am. Some of you might remember his close friendship with one of the greatest Republican senators in history, John McCain. They were inseparable, and frequently spoke the truth to the American people when no one else in their party would dare to rebuke the orange buffoon. However, after Senator McCain’s death on August 25, 2018, something happened to Graham’s mind. He turned from hero to traitor in less than a week. LINDSEY GRAHAM, PRIOR TO HIS HYPOCRITICAL SURRENDER TO DONALD TRUMP: A FEW COMMENTS FROM 2016 “This is not about who we nominate anymore as Republicans as much as it’s who we are. This is a fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party,” Graham said. “What is conservatism? If it’s Donald Trump carrying the conservative banner I think not only do we lose the election, but we’ll be unable in the future to grow the conservative cause.”  “As much as...
