Why is Trump determined to crush any efforts to implement a policy of DEI in American business? Simple. He is a Nazi and the leader of the white supremacist movement in America. He was raised to believe that whites were the persecuted race and men and women of color were attempting to take control of our nation. Trump’s idols are the worst men in history, including Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and the Cown Prince of Saudi Arabia; Mohammad bin Salman. He studied Hitler’s speeches every night. It is true that none of this can be proven. However, several individuals claimed that Trump’s father, “Fred Trump,” attended KKK rallies. What is undeniable fact involves Fred Trump’s real estate empire. Rental agents employed by Trump’s apartments were instructed to place a large red “C” at the top of any applications submitted by men and women of color. Trump worked for his father in these buildings after he received his diploma, obviously purchased by his father, from Wharton Business College. ...

America was always meant to be a nation of immigrants. Trump is obviously unaware that America is a nation of immigrants. It is highly likely that he is unaware that his grandfather, Friederick Drumpf/Trump immigrated to the US in the mid 1960’s. 22 percent of all Americans claim to speak a language than English in their homes. Of the 22 percent, only 8.4 percent say that they speak it well or very well. However, the most racist man in the world will sign a bill into law making English the official language of the United States. English cannot be the only acceptable language in a nation composed of immigrants. King George III’s demand that the Anglican Church be the only Church of the British Empire. This was the “straw which broke the camel’s back” for our Founding Fathers. Unlike Trump, I and most other Americans celebrate our diversity, and support equality and inclusion for all. This is what would have made America a great country until millions of ignorant voters voted for Trump i...

When I was a very young man, my grandfather taught me that religion is a personal choice and not to be an issue in any conversation. He was a helluva lot smarter than every right-wing politician in America. He believed in the First Amendment: professional politicians do not. I was raised Catholic and considered entering the priesthood until I learned that Catholic priests are not allowed to marry. I didn’t understand. Other children I knew who were protestant or Jewish told me their ministers and rabbis had normal lives. I liked girls. By the time I was a sophomore in high school, I had begun to move away from all organized religion. I studied the effect of organized religion on its followers, and understood to some degree the need for many people to seek guidance. I view organized religion in two very different ways. First, I see it is a way for men to control other men and become very wealthy doing so. The other side is more of a sincere desire to help other people survive difficult ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For some reason, Republicans worship a fetus, even when it appears to be nothing more than a polliwog. At the same, time they display their disdain for the woman who is pregnant with that miniscule biological growth developing in her uterus. This is their reasoning for the biased Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade The important question is “how has the repeal of Roe v Wade affected women across America?” Red states continue to pass legislation preventing legal abortions, all too often when the situation involves rape or incest. The most stringent laws have been passed by the regressive state of Texas. IF YOU ARE A WOMAN IN TEXAS, YOU ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A THIRD-CLASS CITIZEN In 2021 the Republican-dominated state legislature banned medical care for women who legally chose to eliminate an unwanted pregnancy. From 2019 through 2022, “the rate of maternal mortality cases in Texas rose by 56%, compared with just 11% nationwide during ...

Op-e d by TheWiseOldFart   Fact: Religious Extremism is r esponsible for the torture and deaths of more innocent people in hi story than any other.   In its most extreme form, organized religion becomes the greatest evil imaginable. The Crusades and the attacks on 9/11 were both the result of religious extremism.   Religion is a personal choice, and it should remain that way. For every argument favoring a single religion over another, there are a dozen reasons why all religions are based on unrealistic and unsupported claims about places like heaven or hell. All religions were created by men whose goals were control and power over others. In modern times, fake religious leaders use religion to live unrealistic lives of great power, luxury and privilege. Exposing young Americans to any religion by an individual with authority over them is morally and legally wrong.   I DO NOT DENY YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS   Don’t misunderstand me. I am expressi...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “Republicans” in Louisiana passed a law last week which will surely be voided by the Supreme Court for one reason, It clearly and literally violates the First Amendment. Placing a poster of the ten commandments in every classroom is not stupid, it is moronic. I was initially undecided. I wasn’t sure if Trump would be angry, because they would remind voters of his many crimes. Later I realized that the malignant narcissist would love it because they remind him of some of the best times of his life; before he agreed to run for the presidency. Read all ten and think of Trump as you do. You shall have no other Gods before me You shall not make for yourselves an idol You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy Honor your father and your mother You shall not murder You shall not commit adultery You shall not steal You shall not give false testimony You shall not covet LET’S BEGIN AT T...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Anyone who refuses to believe that the American people are engaged in a Second Civil War in 2024 is not paying attention. Donald Trump’s fascist party, once known as the “Republican Party,” is actively attempting to overthrow the parts of our Constitution which protects human rights and our freedoms while loyal and patriotic Americans are attempting to save the nation of our Founding Fathers. THE FIRST BATTLE INVOLVES PROTECTING THE FIRST LINE OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Our Founding Fathers packed up and left England after King George III declared the Anglican Church the one true religion of the British Empire. This is why every American is guaranteed the right to practice the religion of their choice or none at all. In the 1970’s, a group of extremist Christian leaders formed what is literally a lobby with the intention becoming involved in the governance...
