I am a novelist. If I wrote the saga of Donald John Trump, no one would buy the book. The story would be too dark, and upsetting to capture a reader’s interest. Here’s a quick rundown of the despicable life of an old, obese man who chose to be the worst person in the world. Trump was born on June 15, 1946 into a life of luxury and extreme white privilege. No one knew that his birth would become the greatest tragedy in the history of the United States of America. Apparently, by the age of 13, his parents had tired of living with their son. He was sent to a military boarding school. Trump finished his time in the boarding school in 1964. I share several important periods in our nation’s history with the man I have learned to hate, having been born in July of 1946. However, our paths were very different. I graduated from high school in that same year. The illegal war in Vietnam began to escalate. At the age of 18, and the military draft still in effect, young men my age faced the probabil...

The annual right-wing extremist bitch fest is happening this weekend. It is officially called the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC. But those words have little meaning in 2025. If you are honest about who is in control of our country today, the list fails to include a single loyal American. Trump and his political party are not composed of a single American patriot. They are Nazi loyalists and accept Trump as their Fuhrer. These traitors to our nation take their orders from Trump, Musk, and their oligarchs, better known as our country’s 756 billionaires. Conservatives does not exist. America is a plutocracy and money is the only value of concern for anyone claiming to be a “Republican” today. President Musk has been firing necessary federal government employees as quickly as possible. He claims that it is an effort to cut the cost of our government. In reality, this is all about finding funds to give additional tax cuts to the super-rich. A large number of IRS agents have...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Watching clips of the Republican Convention made me think of an idea I had for a novel after watching a disturbing television show. I know that the men and women I admire for their creativity and incredible variety of characters have achieved success beyond my belief. However, once in a while, I have ideas combined with imagination which excite me. “American Gothic” was a frightening television series which lasted for a single season. It came to mind when I thought about the RNC. The show began with a typical American family on a vacation to experience America. It quickly devolved into a horrific tale about evil and the decline of humanity. Plans for America’s future offered by fake Republicans last week misrepresented the intent of Project 2025. They attempted to create an image of a great future for America. I, and many others would like to offer you the truth. WELCOME TO THE NEW GOP: THE AMERICAN FASCIST PARTY The platform of today’s Republican Party in name ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Recently MAGA Republicans backed away from a bill agreed to by President Biden, a bill they asked for many times. It would have virtually closed our nation’s southern border with Mexico. Their only reason for reversing their position 180 degrees were words from America’s worst former president. I am no fan of Ronna McDaniel However, her only reason for removing herself as the Republican leader in the RNC is Trump’s demand that she steps aside. His plan to replace her is founded on nepotism. His plan is to place forgotten son Eric’s wife in this powerful position. TRUMP IS A POWERLESS COWARD AND A BULLY I ask, “why are today’s fake Republicans afraid of Trump?” His only weapon is the hot air coming from his lips. He has no powers other than those surrendered by right-wing politicians and his fascist cult. Over the last nine years we watched two situations unfold. What began in 1981 came to fruition on January 20, 2017. With the inauguration of Donald John Trump c...
