Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Real heroes are rare. Some Americans look to celebrities and call them heroes. Accomplished athletes are frequently referred to as role models or heroes. I guess I have a different thought process. Only a handful of individuals in my lifetime are worthy of such extreme adulation. A number of historical figures who lived before me were undoubtedly worthy of the title. However, since I was born in 1946, there are only a few who I believe accomplished something of such great importance that truly can be considered worthy of the ultimate form of recognition. One of my heroes should be of no surprise to anyone. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of principle, morals, and always true to his personal beliefs. His peaceful protests were instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. His words were not only inspirational, they are as relative and important today as they were in the 1960’s. He gave his life fighting for what he believed in: nothing can be ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Schoolyard bullies share similar traits. They use others to do their fighting for them. When seriously challenged, they are cowards and crawl back under their rocks. No bully has power unless it is given to them. This defines Donald John Trump, the worst old man in the world and its biggest coward. The bully’s latest demands involve the Washington Commanders and the Cleveland Guardians. This week Trump ordered them to change their names back to the original: Redskins and Indians. Who the fuck does this cowardly old man think he is? Wait, I know the answer: he believes he is America’s Supreme Dictator/Fuhrer. I become sick and on the verge of regurgitating every time I hear Trump’s name or see his ugly, old, wrinkled face. He is not an American and is undeserving of claiming the title of President of the United States. Now is the time for every American citizen: all 340 million of us: to stare Trump in the eyes and tell him to “FUCK OFF.” He obviously d...

Op-ed by TheWiseOLdFart In 2016 and 2024, Trump made many promises during his hate rallies. However, he has never kept a single one. In 2025, his focus is even more on himself and his wallet. Trump believes “what is good for him is good for the country.” From his violation of the law, using ICE as his personal gestapo, attempting genocide in America, to his failed and moronic military parade honoring his own birthday, Trump is an embarrassment to all other dictators past and present. Of course, this is what we should expect from a man with lower than average intelligence. No honest person can deny that Trump has become America’s first dictator, a Fuhrer. But this could not have happened without the assistance of a corrupt and biased Supreme Court. Proven by the absurd length of boring, self-serving speeches, Trump’s greatest pleasure is standing before his supporters and receiving undeserved adulation and loyalty. He is the living example of everyone inflicted with malignant narcissism...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “What was in it for them? They’re all suckers and losers.” The former was a statement made to his aides when Trump was in France to honor the brave Americans who lost their lives in WWI. He did not attend the ceremony. It was confirmed in 2016 that Trump’s Daddy purchased deferments from a podiatrist preventing his useless son, who grew up in a wealthy family and extreme white privilege, from serving in the Vietnam War. The old, obese, fascist coward is honoring himself and his claim to the title of Commander-in-Chief with a costly and unnecessary military parade this weekend. Sunday just happens to be his birthday. Coincidence? I think not. Another of his endless lies claims that this act of a ruthless and heartless dictator is to honor the 250 th anniversary of the United States Army. It could have been planned for a more symbolic day, such as combining the event no real American will watch with our nation’s 249 th birthday on July 4 th . However, Trump is t...

Trump’s policies are a combination of Mein Kampf, and Project 2025. From his first rally in 2015, his message was composed of anger, hatred, and violence. In 2017 his first actions revealed his hatred of all non-whites and non “Christians.” He followed Reagan’s policy of disregard for the working class and support of the mega-rich whom we call billionaires, or oligarchs. He made it very clear that he would not serve anyone who chose not to support him and his anti-American policies. Trump believes that he has joined his biggest idol, Adolf Hitler, in becoming America’s Fuhrer. And, why shouldn’t he? The Supreme Court gave him absolute immunity and he has become a vile and ruthless dictator over the last four months. His actions in Los Angeles are unforgivable and unconstitutional. What angers me the most is that our military leaders are not required by law to attack our nation’s people, nor are they required to perform for the dictator in celebration of his 79 th , and hopefully last b...

Just over four months. That’s all the time it took for the world to learn that Trump is the most destructive and incompetent president in America’s nearly 249-year history. The damage one man and his Neo-Nazi army is responsible for is catastrophic. What he began in 2017 is far more evil and destructive in 2025. The results can be seen in public areas across the nation. Fits of anger and even rage are occurring in every part of every day life. Unemployment is beginning to rise as prices increase for the necessities to maintain life at the speed of light. Instead of making efforts which would improve the lives of all Americans, Trump continues to walk down the path of revenge, fueled by unwarranted hatred. The truth is, he is jealous. I have never been able to find one positive accomplishment in the life of this old, obese man who will be 79 years old in nine days. Beginning in 2016, the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” have wasted tens if not hundreds of millions of doll...

Trump has no respect for the law, most significantly the Constitution of the United States of America. Facts later revealed, combined with what I watched for three hours on television on January 6, 2021, proved beyond a doubt that Trump organized, planned, and executed the failed coup attempt. He is a traitor and should be punished with death for the most egregious crime possible against our nation. His ‘lieutenants’ were then and remain now leaders of Neo-Nazi groups who share Trump’s plan to end democracy and destroy the United States of America. Prior to what was without a doubt the ‘darkest day in American history,’ there was 9/11. The initial results after the dust literally settled were fear, anger, and hatred for all men and women who were not American Citizens: exactly what those who call themselves “Republicans” wanted. Right-wing politicians encouraged bigotry and racism in support of the traitors who seek a nation ruled by white supremacy. Their knee-jerk reactions weakened ...

  This title is obviously what millions of voters were thinking when they stood in a voting booth on November 5, 2024. Now they know the answer to their question: “Trump is much worse than anyone could have imagined.” Let’s look at one fact offered by the orange buffoon today. Trump pardoned more than 1,500 violent criminals who committed acts of treason on January 6, 2021. They were acting on his orders, but he will never pay for the ultimate crime against our nation. President Biden, understanding Trump’s childish need for revenge, pardoned the men and women who were performing their duties, investigating the insurrection on January 6. Trump has committed many crimes and many acts of sexual impropriety during his sad and useless 78 years and 9 months. The one thing he has never done and never will do is to “do the right thing.” Trump will always follow his own personal rule: “do whatever serves Donald Trump, and fuck everyone and everything else.” Trump will ignore the Rule of La...

I read excerpts of Trump’s very long and very boring speech on Tuesday evening. Above all, he failed to tell us anything he has accomplished which would improve our nation’s future. Once again, most of his time has been spent chasing a little white ball through the grass and sand. It is 100 percent clear that Musk is making all of the big decisions. In 78 years, Trump has never worked a single day in his pitiful life. I was slightly surprised when he openly attacked Democrats and Independents for disagreeing with his vile and fascist agenda. What the fuck did he expect? Is he that stupid? He is a Russian agent, and Russia remains our greatest enemy 77-year-old congressman Al Green refused to cease his verbal attacks against the wannabe Fuhrer, and was escorted out of the building. Of course when bitch Marjorie Taylor Green harassed President Biden incessantly, nothing happened. Now pretend Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson says Mr. Green will be censured. The word is “HYPOCRISY” What ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You might remember when Trump pardoned some of our nation’s biggest traitors. Even more laughable, he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to one of the worst Americans in history, Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh divided our nation for decades and “freedom” was something he never believed in for anyone but pure whites. Don’t fear, followers of Trumpenstein, he’s getting the Washington Mafia back together again. MAKING AMERICA ASHAMED AGAIN Paul Manafort was convicted of bank and tax fraud. He was sentenced to seven and one-half years in prison. However, he was released after two when Trump’s coronavirus began to spread across America. To no one’s surprise, Trump is welcoming the convict back to his team of criminals and degenerates. “Birds of a feather.” “I ONLY HIRE THE BEST PEOPLE”  Trump lied again when he promised his supporters that his administration would be composed of “only the best people.” The men and women he chose were woefully unqualified and incompe...
