Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No one will disagree with me when I say that Halloween is every child’s second favorite holiday. They love dressing up as their favorite character, real or imagined. What child doesn’t love candy? Adults have attempted to make it a day when men dress as the monsters they would like to be and women as the type of woman they are hiding within. One of the symptoms of malignant narcissism is the need to intentionally harm others. Last night, children across America were celebrating Halloween as their parents watched them closely, fearing they might be kidnapped by Trump’s Gestapo. My wife and I live in Northern Nevada, in a housing development of more than 1,600 homes. It is about 12 miles north of downtown Reno, considered a safe neighborhood. All of our streets are cul-de-sacs.  We moved here in 1999. Like all new homeowners, we were anxious to celebrate every holiday. We had no idea how many children to expect on Halloween night. I don't remember for certain,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2025, your illegitimate president took an oath. Every word he uttered on those two dark days was just another Trump specialty: a lie. "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". It is clear to me that Trump has never read the Constitution. It is also abundantly clear that every day he claimed to be your president, he violated the First, Fourth, or 14 th Amendments, and on some days all three at once. It makes me ill to hear the word “Constitution” come out of his mouth, and sickens me to see him hug the flag. America and the American people mean nothing to Donald John Trump. From the day of my birth until January 19, 2027 BT, (Before Trump), I knew my beloved country was not perfect, but overall, our people believed in compassion, understanding, to...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump was born on June 15, 1946. Benjamin Netanyahu came into this world on October 21, 1949. They are both old, white men who live in the past. However, these are only two of the personal traits  they share. Both men claim to love their countries. Both are liars. They love what their countries can do for them. Both men talk about the law, but have no respect for their Supreme Courts, or the laws agreed to by the World Court, protecting human rights and preventing atrocities, including ethnic cleansing and genocide. At this very moment, Trump is engaged in ethnic cleansing. Netanyahu has murdered tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza, in what can only be called ‘genocide.’ Not only do both old men choose to force their people to live in the past, where hatred, racism, and bigotry were commonplace, they have chosen to become dictators, renouncing their elections as democratic leaders. I feel it necessary to make some thing...
