Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Kamala Harris is unique among 21 st century politicians. Her speeches are mostly positive, offering hope for America’s future. When she does “go negative,” it is usually in defense of lies about her on Fox News or from Trump and his cronies. Her opponent is the exact opposite. Trump constantly tells his cult how terrible America is and there is only one hope, him. He preaches anger, hatred, and violence over and over again. This mentally deranged old man had the audacity to call Ms. Harris “mentally challenged.” FOX NEWS HOST ADMITS THE TRUTH: (IT’S RARE, BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE) Kamala Harris created a podcast called, “Call Her Daddy.” It was very effective. Ainsley Earhardt, co-host of Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” is afraid that if women who support Trump listen to it, they might change their minds and learn that their hero is nothing but a sexual predator without any respect for womankind. “If you don’t know the issues, you really think, ‘Okay, she’s sel...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   “Fox News” is not only a misnomer, it is an insult to every legitimate journalist who ever wrote a single word. The only reason this right-wing propaganda machine has existed since 1996 is found in its audience. Its fans choose to believe the many lies, half-truths, and conspiracy coming from its fake journalists every day. At the top of this pile of excrement is a little man who continues his efforts to be the worst political hack in our nation’s history. His name is Sean Hannity. Hannity continues to talk to Trump on a daily basis, although he was overheard calling the leader of fascism in America multiple derogatory names questioning his intelligence. Just another right-wing hypocrite. His latest benefactor is one of Trump’s most devout a** kissers, Ohio Representative, Jim Jordan. One of the founders of the fascist “Freedom Caucus,” Jordan is attempting to replace the worst Speaker of the House in history, Kevin McCarthy. If he achieves his goal, he wi...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Groucho Marx: “I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” This was an observation from the early days of television. It was accurate. Over the next 70-80 years of television broadcasts, there have been a combination of great, good, interesting, bad, and recently with the obsession of “reality TV” an embarrassment to anyone who possesses average intelligence. I was raised on television. By that I mean that my mother was a single parent, my brother and I were latching key kids, and our only source of entertainment was initially a nine-inch television. This was the early 1950’s and there wasn’t much to see. However, as time passed and our nation became obsessed with the “boob tube,” the early age of television began and I was very happy. I remain obsessed today, but also extremely disappointed. As television expanded into numerous areas of entertainment, including sports, politics, cookin...
