Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America’s greatest criminal is at it again. The government shutdown is solely the responsibility of Trump and his fascist party. They control all three branches of government, and today, Trump’s Senate rejected a measure to prevent another fiscal disaster for working-class Americans. Trump is in control of everything that happens in Washington today. He is the reason only the most corrupt and useless members of our federal government will continue to receive their paychecks and benefits after September 30. Those who actually work in Washington will struggle to pay their mortgages and other necessities. The malignant narcissist defiling our White House is desperate to prevent the truth from being told by his mainstream media. A misinformation effort is underway attempting to blame Democrats for another failure. [A bright red banner and pop-up message that appeared Tuesday on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's website warns: "The Radical Le...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart To any American with common sense, it is obvious that Trump supports a government shutdown. He is making an attempt to blame Democrats. However, progressives/liberals do not control a single one of our nation’s three branches of government. One thing, which has bothered me since I learned about the idiotic policy of a “debt ceiling,” Is how this punishes the only men and women who actually work in Washington. Those responsible for failing to perform the jobs for which they were elected or appointed will continue to live normal lives. Three unnecessary, corrupt, and incompetent groups will continue to receive their salaries and benefits: the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our government. These are the most overpaid men and women in our nation’s capital, living lives of luxury and privilege at taxpayer expense, although they do nothing for all 340 million Americans. I offer you one example of how unfair this bullshit is. I cannot deny that the TS...

The Democratic Party is filled with cowards. However, 10 Democratic Senators displayed a distinctively higher level of cowardice last week when they voted for Republican’s terrible and destructive budget. Their act of waving a white flag prevented a government shutdown. Democrats are now calling for a vote to remove Chuck Schumer from his leadership role, and I agree. Schumer and Pelosi surrendered their power to fake Republicans and Trump over and over again. Real Americans need a determined, and strong leader who will do the right thing and say “fuck you” to Trump and his Nazi followers. Democrats reached their lowest level in October of 2016 after a meeting in the Oval Office with President Obama, Vice-President Biden, and the leaders of both parties, Schumer, Pelosi, Moscow Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan. The meeting was held at the request of all 18 national security agencies. It was confirmed that Vladimir Putin was interfering in our upcoming election in support of his puppet, D...

A few writers like me, who focused on the life of Donald John Trump, know him well. From 2015 until today, the world’s population was given an opportunity to look beyond the illusion and discover what his hidden behind the lies and misdirection. I know that regardless of his diploma and claims about being a “stable genius,” he is poorly educated, and lacks a level of intellect which allows average men and women to think logically and speak clearly and intelligibly. He literally knows nothing about anything of importance. Bluntly: he has no common sense or frame of reference which allows him to relate to the majority of mankind. Trump told us that he “learns everything he needs to know from television,” colloquially known as “the boob tube.” Anyone who cannot or refuses to read is an uninformed, ignorant individual. If you know, as I do, that Trump has a very low-level intellect, this part of the story will find you asking the question: “just how dumb are Republican members of the House...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   On this day, 9-18-23, what are House Republicans doing? They are focusing on two things. First, they want to impeach President Biden, although there are no valid reasons. Second, they want to put thousands of American out of work by shutting down the government. I ask you, what good will these two actions accomplish for the American people? Who in the hell are these guys? Why are they in Washington? Over the last 14 years the men and women who call themselves Republicans have earned the label of “the party of no.” It is true that they have accomplished nothing of value since the inauguration of President Barach Obama, but a more accurate label would be “the party without purpose.” Today’s fake Republicans refuse to perform the jobs for which they were elected. The path they have chosen will destroy every positive accomplishment made by a real government over the last 60-70 years. The most accurate name for the members of the once Grand Old Party of today i...
