January 20, 2025: the Day America Was Murdered

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One thing all real Americans can agree on: Trump 2.0 is 100 times worse than he was between 2017 and 2021. Hopefully, two of the greatest disasters in our nation, Covid-19, and the attempted coup on January 6, will not be repeated. However, what he is doing every day, violating the First, Fourth, and 14 th Amendments, removing healthcare from tens of millions of Americans, and destroying the world’s free market economy, will have long-lasting effects. At the center of every crime he commits is vengeance. This childish effort by the schoolyard bully is proof that what was once a very low level of intelligence is now virtually defunct. His dementia is growing day by day. Some uninformed voters are disappointed that he failed to keep promises, promises which were at the forefront of encouraging “television voters” to surrender to the orange buffoon their precious votes. Trump promised to end inflation, which is actually “Greedflation,” intentionally caused by his ...

Trump Gave his Gestapo Your “Papers”

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you believe Trump’s claim that illegally detaining and deporting tens-of-thousands of innocent men, women, and children, whose only crime is seeking a better life in the once great and respected United States of America, has anything to do with immigration reform, you must have received a total lobotomy. His actions are comparable to villains in Africa and Asia who are engaged in the illegal and immoral process of “ethnic cleansing.” No longer can anyone pretend that Trump is an American: he is a Nazi hiding behind his office and the American flag. The Trump Klan has never displayed any concern for others. They serve themselves, and ignore the needs and wishes of 340 million people, while supporting their 813 oligarchs. Trump’s latest crime is a clear and criminal violation of the 4 th Amendment. [The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warra...

Passed on October 26, 2001, the Patriot Act was a Desperate Action and Remains a Violation of the Bill of Rights

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   The George W. Bush Administration forced the passage of several policies which remain and are in direct violation of the Bill of Rights. Eager to defend the failure of “W’s” administration to protect our nation from attacks which took the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent men, women, and children, they passed the Patriot Act less than two months after the cowardly attacks on 9/11. Among the other failures by the second worst president in history, was the creation of ICE. Over my 77 years as a patriot, 67 as an American interested in our political system, I have become greatly fearful as I watched our guarantees under the Bill of Rights removed by a corrupt government. The right-wing continues to move us further to the right and away from the democratic promises of our Founding Fathers. “Fascism has arrived in America and it’s waving a flag and wearing a cross.” After the passage of the Patriot Act, illegal searches became the norm, and seizure ...
