  If the 2024 election taught us anything, it’s that Russia once again interfered in our election, according to the FBI, and most voters must be educated. It was clear that on November 5, 2024, most Americans voted based on emotions and misinformation on the boob tube, not on facts. It is an irrefutable fact the America has the least informed voters in the world. Early in 2024, the FBI reported that Russia was once again heavily involved in controlling the results of our election. We never heard from them again. Was this election rigged as it was in 2016? The mainstream media no longer deserves the title of “the fourth estate.” It has failed to report what has become rampant crime and corruption in Washington in the 21 st  century. I constantly report the events and actions which occur in our nation’s Capital daily. It’s not hard. The Washington Mafia remains in control of our government. This Mafia hides behind titles including Senator, Congressman, Supreme Court Justice, a...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What have I learned at the age of 78? I cannot trust anyone. I am no different from millions of other Americans when I admit that I have no faith in anyone in Washington. The government of the United States has become the most corrupt in all free and developed nations. Although the men and women who who are elected to serve the American people, to help us achieve our needs and wishes, promise to do just that during their campaigns, but when they are elected they ignore us and focus on the goals and ambitions of their political parties. Polls prove that the entire right side of the aisle is opposed to every issue of importance to the majority of our nation’s people. Included are fair taxation, protecting Social Security and Medicare, universal healthcare, sensible immigration reform, free or affordable education, protecting voter rights, and guaranteeing the right of all women to decide the future of her personal mental and physical health. Instead, “Republicans”...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you have ever read more than one of my rants, you know that I consider the mainstream media the enemy of the people. The “Fourth Estate” is protected by the First Amendment. However, today it no longer exists. The press was protected because its purpose was to expose government corruption. Today’s fake journalists are in collusion with Washington politicians. Several years ago, I had a source who asked to remain anonymous. He told me that the former free press was now under the control of Washington politicians. In the 21 st century, if a journalist wants the full story about any situation, he or she must omit certain facts harmful to the careers of elected officials. If he or she refuses to comply, all of their sources will cease to exist. ALL CRIMINALS MUST BE PUNISHED, WITHOUT EXCEPTION Here is the headline from Newsweek today. [Donald Trump's Conviction Was Expected to Sink Him in the Polls. It Hasn't] This title is extremely misleading. It gives...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One fact no one talks about: not our government or the Fourth Estate: the United States of America has several dangerous enemies. Our government and the print and television news no longer use that word. Not only are our politicians in Washington corrupt, they have become cowards. AMERICA HAS THREE DANGEROUS ENEMIES: HOWEVER THEIR LEADERS ARE SOME OF TRUMP’S CLOSEST FRIENDS In the 1980’s Vladimir Putin became a high-ranking officer in the KGB. He kept no secret about his intentions. He wants to destroy the United States of America. When he decided to interfere in our 2016 election, he gave Trump two major tasks: to divide our nation’s people, and dismantle NATO. Trump succeeded with the first, but failed with the second. However, if American voters lose their minds and he is allowed to defile the White House again, I have no doubt that he will complete his primary mission. Putin is American enemy number one. Therefore, the 41 members of the House Freedom Caucus,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Mainstream Media greatly profits from Republican control over our federal government. Sensationalism results in increased viewership, which in turn increases advertising revenue. This is why they support Republicans, and refuse to report the irrefutable fact that Joe Biden is the best president in America since Bill Clinton. No one has accomplished more for the American people than Mr. Biden over the last 24 years. The economy is booming. In spite of a Republican led House, which continues to fail and refuse to perform the jobs for which they were elected, and respect from other nations has returned. The most important fact is that unlike the period between 2017 and 2021, our country is doing the right thing and moving in the right direction. I admit that in 2020 I was not Mr. Biden’s biggest fan. However, I am happy to say that he has exceeded all my expectations. Let’s go back to that dark day in June of 2015 when Trump announced his intention to win the R...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   There are irrefutable facts that Trump’s illegitimate victory on November 8, 2016 was aided by Vladimir Putin, James Comey, and the mainstream media. However, recent investigations into the 2016 campaign and the ensuing election reveal a much deeper responsibility supported by our nation’s major print and internet news sources. They failed their most important responsibilities, and why they are protected by the First Amendment: to expose corruption in our government and report the truth to the American people. This is exceptionally important during the years when our nation’s leader is elected. We learned in 2017 that throughout the 2016 campaign season the mainstream media gave Trump five times more coverage than all other candidates combined. However, he was seldom criticized for his many, many lies or the fact that he and his camp rarely discussed the issues facing our nation. Nor did they stress the fact that he was clearly a white supremacist, a bigot...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Everyone asks themselves several questions during their lifetime. One of the most frequent is “what is my purpose in life?” For most of us that question is never answered directly. Some refuse to recognize the answer when it comes to them. And others find their own answer, whether or not it is legitimate. The reality is that each of us must seek our own answer, it is within all of us. If we listen closely to our own thoughts, we can solve the question for ourselves. Anastasiya Veli is Ukrainian and Orhan Veli is half Russian, and they have one thing in common: they have found their purpose. They decided to make a difference. As I write this, the couple has saved 11 refugees from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Although Orhan is not from Ukraine, he is a refugee. His family fled from Azerbaijan when he was just 11 years old, and the Soviet union was breaking apart. "I was a kid without anything. My parents had nothing. And little by little we were able to kin...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Fact: the mainstream media, in collusion with your corrupt government, fails to report many stories which would reveal the truth about America in the 21 st century. This proves that our nation is moving closer to fascism than many would like you to believe. Here are some headlines from Google this morning which reveal the real problems facing America today. [Gunman kills three, himself in racially motivated shooting, Jacksonville sheriff says] [Trump raised $7.1 million after Georgia booking, mugshot] ['Walking with our ancestors': Thousands fighting for civil rights attend March on Washington] [DeSantis super PAC pumps more than $12 million into major ad buy] Although I believe the number one issue remains healthcare, followed closely by affordable or free education, there are others not discussed by the mainstream media, although they affect every man, woman, and child in America. The tragic murders in Jacksonville this weekend ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   When I was much younger, I was an admirer of Edward R. Murrow, John Chancellor, Walter Cronkite, and other men who were respected and honest reporters. These men were legitimate journalists who offered the facts without inuendo, without personal opinion, or any intent related to financial gain. Today’s pretend journalists are paid millions of dollars and are required to report what television executives instruct them to tell their viewers. Like Fox News, all network broadcasts are more concerned about advertising revenue than the truth. I followed the 2016 campaign with a combination of fascination and fear. After the most disgusting and embarrassing primary season in history, our country was left with two options. Hillary Clinton was undeniably the most qualified presidential candidate in history. She remains a lifelong public servant who will be remembered by historians as a woman who worked to improve the lives of all Americans. Her opp...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   The fact that Trump and his Klan are lifetime criminals is irrefutable. However, the mainstream media continues to support our nation’s greatest traitor. Not once over the last eight years have they been truthful about the evil that is Donald John Trump. Throughout the 2016 campaign the media gave him five-times more coverage than all other candidates combined, proving that they supported the man who would later attempt to destroy the government of the United States. Our Founding Fathers established several safeguards in the Bill of Rights designed to protect the American people from corruption in our government. The most effective rule protected the press from prosecution for exposing crimes committed by our elected officials. Over the last 40+ years a once respected fourth estate has itself become corrupted. Factual stories about Trump prove that he and his supporters are above the law and confirm that our justice system is not blind and i...
