Trump’s supporters share one commonality: they all choose to be brainwashed. This happens when anyone watches more than one-half hour of the lies offered by FOX News, Newsmax, One America News and a few other fascist-leaning television misinformation broadcasts. I have several brothers-in-law. One of them was my wife’s roommate when we began dating. I respected him; believing he was intelligent and credited him with his search for knowledge. However, several years ago he moved to the South: first to Georgia, and he now resides in Florida. What I admired about him no longer exists. He is now a right-wing devotee and has become bat shit crazy. He believes that everything Trump is doing is “great.” He admires Marjorie Taylor Greene because “she speaks her mind.” It pains me to know that he chooses not to believe the fact that Trump doesn’t know what he is doing, and what he is doing is destroying the lives of tens of thousands of men, women, and children. Trump has a very low level of int...

Op-ed by The WiseOldFart   Trump is exactly three weeks older than me. For this reason alone, I am disgusted and ashamed about hi s constant and baseless claims that he is “being picked on.” At nearly 78 years of age, I know that we get what we deserve from life .   If you try to live a good and spiritual life, you will receive love and respect from those who know you well. However, if you preach anger, hatred, and violence , and have never once in your life done anything to positively affect the lives of others, and act like a malignant narcissist , you w ill have no one in your life who cares if you live or die. As we draw closer to being an octogenarian, we are aw are that we have earned our rewards or suffer the consequences.   THIS IS THE LAUGHABLE AND INACCURATE RESPONSE FROM THE ORANGE BUFFOON   “The reason I didn’t file paperwork for the Libertarian Nomination, which I would have absolutely gotten if I wanted it (as everyone could tell by the enthusiasm of ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Hatred is the darkest emotion and the greatest danger to mankind. When such a severe emotion controls a person or group, what follows is inevitable: violence and death. Hatred is sometimes personal, but frequently includes an entire race, other demographics, or religious sect. This is an act of pure ignorance and a low level of basic intelligence.  AMERICA HAS A 405 YEAR HISTORY OF RACISM AND BIGOTY Although it is true that our nation has a more than 400-year history of extreme racism and bigotry, which continues today, the United States is not alone in its crimes against humanity. Greed, jealousy, and envy pare segments of the ultimate and most despicable emotion owned by human beigns: hate. RELIGIONS WERE ALL FOUNDED ON PEACE AND LOVE IN THEIR ORIGIN Much of the world’s history involves violence between religions. Battles between Pagans and Christians led to the Crusades and war between Christians and Muslims. These bloody and senseless battles began in 10...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have no idea how many articles I have written about mass shootings in America. It disgusts me to know that domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to life in my country in the 21 st century. Humans are expected to progress, not regress. I am especially upset at the fact that most of the violence would end immediately if our corrupt and incompetent federal government would get off their fat asses and do the jobs for which they were elected. More Than the Number of Days on the Calendar Mass shootings are defined as “a single incident in which four or more individuals were wounded or killed with the use of a gun” Since 2017, the year Trump became your illegitimate president, there have been more mass shootings than days on the calendar. The reality is clear: the United States is the most dangerous country in the world. It is no longer safe to shop in a grocery store, workout at a gym, eat at a restaurant, go to the movies, enjoy an evening with your friends at...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart                                                          Exclusive A large number of Americans have been conned by today’s fake Republican Party, FOX News, and the Mainstream Media. This phenomenon began with the advent of television advertising in the 1950’s. This was the beginning of the brainwashing of the American people. All advertising, political ads, and testimonials by famous people are founded in lies. If you believe them, you will waste your money, your vote, and your integrity. I am both proud and sad to be an old fart. Proud because I have experienced things no one ever will again, and sad because many of the changes I witnessed revealed the worst of what could ha...
