The government of the United States is the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. Now that this fact has been disclosed, let’s go back to election year 2024. A single story was reported early in 2024 which was never revealed during the remainder of a critical election year. The FBI reported massive efforts by Vladimir Putin and the best hackers in the world to interfere in our upcoming election; for the third time. Your corrupt government was complicit and refused to inform the voting public of this egregious attack on our democracy. Over the remaining nine months, Trump was crushed in the single debate between the leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America, and Kamala Harris, attendance at his hate rallies was in rapid decline, while Ms. Harris was filling stadiums in swing states, and speaking about the issues; telling the truth.

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Over the last two decades studies prove that the United States is far behind other developed nations in quality of life, including education. History proves that the opportunity to receive a college degree opens doors which remain closed to less educated Americans. I am not claiming that every young American should attend a college or university. However, anyone who wants to extend their and education, their knowledge, should have the ability, the right to attend an institute of higher learning. One of the primary reasons America is falling behind other nations in several areas of economic development lies in the fact that the prohibitive cost of higher education prevents some of our most gifted young men and women from continuing their education after high school. Everything in America is about money. If America is to survive the 21 st century, our government must reverse its present course and end its obsession with corporate profits. I...
