Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a traitor, a lifetime criminal, a spoiled child who is using the Constitution as toilet paper, and spends all of his time, when he’s not on a golf course, enacting revenge on anyone who had the cojones to stand up to the brain-damaged schoolyard bully. Therefore, he must pay for his crimes against the people of the United States, and humanity in general, with life imprisonment without parole or visitation, exile to Russia, or public execution. His punishment must fit his crimes. His most recent target is John Bolton, former National Security Adviser. The FBI, like every once respected law enforcement agency, has surrendered to Trump. Once the most feared group of highly principled men and women, it is now an object of distrust, fear, and hatred. Today, under orders from the malignant narcissist, the FBI raided Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Maryland. The raid was apparently conducted without cause. The act was purely political. Another former member of Trum...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For my readers, I offer the absolute, undeniable, irrefutable truth: Every time a representative from the Pentagon or a professional politician avoids a direct answer to a question from a member of the legitimate press, and uses these words: “for reasons of national security,” he or she is covering up corruption or hiding something which would encourage the American people to lose trust in our military and/or the federal government. On this day, August 10, 2025, the complete truth about President Kennedy’s assassination, the events and failures which led up to the cowardly attacks on September 11, 2001, and the results of the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections remain a secret, hidden from anyone who is not a member of the worst and most incompetent government in the world. Younger Americans may choose ignorance over fact, hoping that our nation’s leaders are loyal Americans who care about the future of the United States of America. I am 79 years old, and I can...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Between 2017 and 2021, Congress, the DOJ, and a corrupted Supreme Court allowed Trump to violate the Emoluments Clause for 1,460 days. That’s every day he was your illegitimate president. Trump continued to maintain control of his personal business interests, both foreign and domestic. After four years, Trump’s business interests reported a 2.4 billion dollar profit. The problem is that no one cared that he was violating one of the oldest entries in the Constitution. The frame workers of the Constitution included the Emoluments Clause to prevent undo influence from businesses both foreign and domestic. No one, Democrats, or Republicans is concerned that Trump violates the Constitution every day he pretends to be your illegitimate president. “As the US president fires thousands in the name of preventing alleged fraud, he continues to spend taxpayer funds on his outings.” This is from the Guardian. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump used taxpayer money for his personal ...

I have feelings of overwhelming sadness today. I woke up this morning thinking about my life and how it was so very different from the obese old Nazi is now pretending to be your president. Trump was born on June 15, 1946. The day I came into this world was just three weeks later on July 7, 1946. Our paths never crossed. Trump’s path led him into the depths of everything which is wrong with the world today. He was born into a world of wealth and extreme white privilege and taught to hate anyone who was not like him. Money was his family’s god and achieving greater wealth was the family’s only goal. My family was probably considered poor when I was born in Lewiston, Idaho. However, my mother’s family was very warm and loving. The Catholic Church was at the center of their lives, and they lived according to those deep beliefs in what they were taught, a high moral standard, unbreakable principles, and respect for others,  The word “hate” was not in their vocabulary. Now that both of ...
