  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Democrats, tired of the circus the House has become thanks to the Freedom Caucus, are promising that Speaker Mike Johnson will not be removed from his position. FC member, Matt Gaetz, led the effort to expel Kevin McCarthy, and the loudmouth from Georgia, also a member of the FC, Marjorie Taylor Greene, vowed to remove Johnson after he joined with Democrats to pass a bill giving additional aid to Ukraine. MTG has been censored by her party, some of whom admit they are tired of her bullshit. Democratic leaders issued the following statement. “At this moment, upon completion of our national security work, the time has come to turn the page on this chapter of Pro-Putin Republican obstruction. We will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the Chair. If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed,” the leaders wrote in a statement. A PARTY DIVIDED DID NOT STAND The Republican Party is nothing more than a memory in 2024. Republican

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Simply seeing a picture of Marjorie Taylor Greene forces a single reaction from everyone: insanity. I am worried about the ignorant people of Georgia who voted for her. Insanity: “the state of being seriously mentally ill; madness.” This woman lives in an alternate universe. She is definitely not an American: maybe she’s an alien from the planet, “Nutbag.” Regardless, she has become the “mouth” of the Freedom Caucus, offering an endless number of baseless conspiracy theories, most of which are obviously created in her own demented mind. SADLY, MTG IS NOT ALONE I would be remiss if I refused to admit that MTG is only one of 41 fascists in the House whose primary ambition is to destroy our government. It is a little funny that the Freedom Caucus was created because the TEA Party was not as radical as many of today’s fake Republicans had hoped. Jim Jordan’s traitorous constituents are so extreme, so far to the right, they can only be called fascists. They have take

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   The vote was 311-112 . The House of Representatives voted to approve additional military aid for Ukraine. Why is this shocking? Trump and his fascist supporters in the House calling themselves the “Freedom Caucus” opposed the bill’s passage. They went so far as to threaten the removal of Mike Johnson , one of their own, as the Speake r if it passed.   The Republican Party controls 2 18 seats out of 435, and 41 of those right-wing politicians are members of the Freedom Caucus. This is a significant defeat fo r Trump and his anti-American minions.   Are a Growing Number of Right-Wing Politicians Revealing Their Disgust for Trump?   I’m not sure if this means anything. Members of the House are up for election every two years, and this is priority number one for all professional politicians.   However, this vote definitely reveals a lack of cohesion on the right side of the aisle. There is a widespread belief that Democrats will regain control of the H

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There is little difference when discussing the TEA Party or the Freedom Caucus. Both extremist groups have been bought and paid for by America’s billionaires and have the same goal: end democracy in America, establish a permanent Plutocracy, and institute a fascist regime to guarantee the change in our nation’s political system. Let’s explore a little reality right now. Kevin McCarthy was never a legitimate Speaker of the House: he was nothing but a tool for the extremists in his party and Trump. 15 votes were required to allow him to receive the gavel. Meanwhile, he gave away all of his power, his dignity and his principles to the Freedom Caucus. He was removed from the House because he refused to take action so extreme, it could only be labeled as fascist. Another first for America. After numerous names were offered to replace McCarthy, a man no one knew was chosen as the next Speaker. MIKE JOHNSON IS AN EXTREMIST WHO HATES EVERYTHING DEFINED AS “AMERICAN” Mik

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I can’t believe I’m writing this. This article is about a country I have never heard of, certainly not the country where I was born and raised. The subject matter is more about our country’s overall condition than individual events. Let me just say right up front that the division within our nation began in 2015. It has become so severe, the United States is currently engaged in a Second Civil War. Currently it is bloodless, but that could soon change. Trump’s supporters continue to accept lies as facts, not because Trump is a legitimate leader, because they agree with “Big Adolf” and his American Fascist Party’s plan for our nation’s future. His “army” is composed of different groups with a single bond: their fascist beliefs. We call them “Neo-Nazis” in 2024, but they could also be called “The Confederacy.” Regardless, their ambitions are the same. A DAY OFF: MORE TIME FOR A LONG NAP? Today, Donald Trump was not in a courtroom. It was a day off for  the lifetim

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In 2010 the Republican Party was invaded by a political organization created by the Koch brothers, calling themselves the “Taxed Enough Already,” or the TEA Party. They were so extreme their policies helped to make our government incompetent. However, they were too “moderate” for many of these incompetent men and women calling themselves “Republicans.” In 2015 a group of disgruntled men and women in the House created the most radical group within the GOP today, calling themselves the Freedom Caucus. These anti-Americans rejected any policy not their own, and fought not only with Democrats, they created dissention within their own party. IN 2017, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CEASED TO EXIST In 2017, after Trump won the Electoral College in an election rigged by Vladimir Putin, both the TEA Party, and the Freedom Caucus, along with other men and women formerly called moderates, surrendered their dignity and citizenship to the man known as “the worst president in American

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This sad but laughable saga began in January of 2023. Republicans had won a slim margin in the House of Representatives and would therefore be choosing a Speaker. Without a Speaker, it is illegal for the House to conduct any of our nation’s business. It was no secret during the years when Nancy Pelosi held the gavel that California Representative, Kevin McCarthy, envied her position as the Speaker. He made it clear that he would do anything to become Speaker of the House of Representatives. McCarthy Remains Loyal to Trump, not to his Country It is also no secret that McCarthy was a Trump lacky. He was one of the Republicans who maintained phone contact with America’s biggest traitor throughout the three-hour insurrection on January 6, 2021. However, for the fascist members of the Freedom Caucus, he was considered a moderate: his beliefs and policies were not far enough to the right. Until 2023, Only a Single Vote was Needed to Choose the Speaker When the vote wa

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The men and women who call themselves “Republicans” in the House are radicals, extremists, and idiots. Under their control, history has been made. However, it is a part of our nation’s past which historians will recall as the worst days in American politics. !5 votes to select a Speaker in 2023, which has never happened in our nation’s 247-year history. Later, his ouster and replacement by an extremist group which seeks the destruction of our nation’s basic principles and ideals. And now the possibility of a third Speaker in nearly 15 months proves that right-wing politicians are moronic and incompetent. Could Common Sense Return to the House of Representatives? Change could be coming. Another historical event has become a possibility and could reverse some of the damage caused by today’s fake Republicans. The Freedom Caucus, an extremist group which has moved so far to the right it has become a fascist organization, is likely to become the reason why Democrats

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over the last couple of months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has exposed who he really is. He is no better than the man who attempted to exterminate all Jews in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Attempts to Gain Autocratic Rule and the Destruction of the Palestinian People Netanyahu was exposed as a man who hates all Palestinians simply because they exist. His efforts to amass absolute power over the last year are opposed to democracy and support a fascist regime. He is no better than the greatest enemy of all Jewish people, Adolf Hitler. All attempts to build lasting peace in the Middle East have been thwarted by Netanyahu. He has refused to negotiate in good faith with Palestinian leadership. Netanyahu will never end his attacks on the Palestinian people until they are exterminated. Republicans are Desperate for Votes in 2024 Freedom Caucus Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has invited Netanyahu to speak on the floor of the House of Repres

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Matt Gaetz, Republican Representative from Florida, (where else), is a member of the fascist leaning Freedom Caucus, and therefore another Trump ass kisser. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of room for everyone on his humongous derriere. For anyone who is not paying attention, the House of Representatives is a joke. Thanks to the TEA Party and the Freedom Caucus it is the reason our legislative branch is completely dysfunctional, and until these traitors to the American people are removed, our government will remain broken. In January of 2023, the late-night comics had a great time creating jokes about then wannabe Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. Throughout our nation’s history it has never taken more than one vote to select a speaker. However, because those who call themselves Republicans are pretenders, and incapable of governing our country, McCarthy was elected, but only after 15 votes. He was forced to make “deals” with the Freedom Caucus to win th
