Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I hate to even write the name and title: “Vice-President Vance.” It frightens me even more to think that at Trump’s age, Vance could become your president overnight, than it does to know that Trump is your illegitimate president today. Trump is “the devil we know.” This will be a brief article. Everyone who cares about what is happening in our nation knows that J.D. Vance was an unpopular choice for most Republican voters. He is another hypocrite. He denounced Trump constantly prior to being chosen as his running mate. I despise liars and hypocrites equally. It became completely clear after Trump violated the Constitution once again on Saturday night, bombing suspected nuclear weapons construction sites in Iran, that he and Vance rarely speak. Vance, defending his Fuhrer, made the following statement, although Trump had already indicated that he prefers a regime change in Iran. "The president's been very clear: We have no interest in a protracted confli...

Every human being has at least one fear; a fear he or she cannot conquer. For nearly 79 years, Trump has fought his personal “windmills:’ the truth and scientific fact. His reaction to fear is revealed by his need to destroy anything considered “good,” or “worthy of praise.” His defunding of humanitarian programs resulted in anger from all men and women who believe in the principles, morals, and ideals of our nation which could have resulted in making America a “great country” for its first time in 249 years. Anyone with average IQ is aware that Trump never thought of a lie he didn’t love. If you pay attention to his speech, his attacks on others are actually admissions of guilt about his own destructive actions. In 2016, he repeated one attack dozens of times: “the election is rigged.” Evidence proved that it was indeed rigged, in his favor with the assistance of Vladimir Putin, the mainstream media, and James Comey. This is just one of many instances in which attacks on his detractor...

A confirmed draft dodger: called the brave soldiers who lost their lives in WWI “suckers and losers:” and next month he will honor, or more realistically disgrace himself with something only fascist dictators demand, a military parade. If you were graduating from West Point, would you want this old, obese, convicted felon and America’s biggest traitor speaking at the most important day in your young life? When Trump became your illegitimate president for the first time in 2017, members of his staff criticized me and millions of others who refused to accept him as our president. They baselessly claimed that as the president, he deserved our “respect.” Let me explain something to these morons: respect and trust must be earned, never given freely. Trump is undeserving of both. It is a farce to offer Trump the title of “Commander-in-Chief.” In reality, Trump is our “Criminal-in Chief.” He continues to violate the Emoluments Clause in the Constitution every day he pretends to be your presid...

Trump is investigating contributions made to Kamala Harris Campaign by major celebrities. Apparently, it is perfectly legal for Trump to receive donations from billionaires/oligarchs, including 270 million dollars from Musk. It is also acceptable for him to take a 400-million-dollar bribe from Qatar. The word, my friends, is HYPOCRISY. Trump is a moron, and he thinks you are even less intelligent. Is he right? His party and his Supreme Court are liars and opportunists. My new motto had become, “trust no one in a position of power.” The right-wing’s primary political tactic has moved from fear to “blame the other guy” for their failures, especially with our nation’s economics. Trump has been the worst, averaging more than six million dollars of wasted tax money to live the life of a legitimate billionaire. I reiterate what most people know: Trump will be remembered as the worst, illegitimate president in our nation’s history for eternity. Op-ed by James Turnage Please follow my blog and...

When I was much younger and Catholic, Easter Sunday was a day for church and family. I will not lie; I did not enjoy all of my family, but no one does. However, we loved each other and those were special times, especially while my grandparents were alive. My maternal grandfather was the greatest role model a young man could have. This was normal in the mid-twentieth century all across America, and continues to be popular today with millions of Americans. But not for the Trump family. During the 2016 campaign, the pastor of the Christian church Trump claimed to be his own claimed that he had never seen him cross the threshold of his place of worship. No surprise there: the Antichrist is not welcome in a place of worship designated to honor the life of Jesus Christ. Trump owns the leaders of the Evangelical branch of the Christian religion. They continue to support him although he is a traitor to his country, a convicted felon, a confirmed sexual predator, a serial philanderer, and oppos...

Claiming that wisdom comes with age is only partially accurate. We tend to long for some of our past. Physical pain and limitations are frustrating. However life teaches us how to handle these difficulties. For some unfortunate men and women aging includes mental challenges: these are far more difficult to endure. Life is an experience and the greatest teacher of all. One of the most valuable lessons I wish I had learned 50 years ago involves physical possessions. If I had to guess how much of the money I earned was wasted, I’m pretty sure the number would be at least 50 percent. Not being a wealthy man, my biggest expenditures were automobiles: they were much cheaper in the 1970’s. I always found money in my budget for a car payment. Although we didn’t have cellphones and the desire to have the latest version each year, we did have our vices. While 60 percent of all Americans struggle paycheck to paycheck in the 21 st century, the other 40 percent waste money we need to survive. Unti...

Trump and his gestapo must be stopped. The stories coming from illegally fired federal employees are reminiscent of what happened in 1930’s Germany under the horrific rule of Adolf Hitler. The truth is, Trump and Musk are following Hitler’s Mein Kampf and his own Project 2025 to the letter. Trump is following, his Project 2025 exactly, and acting like the dictator he promised to be. I read about a great deal of unrest from Democrats, the military, and voters, both Democrats and Republicans. Words are just hot air and will accomplish nothing. It’s time to drag Trump out of the White House by his cheap toupee and put him in a federal holding cell. He has been allowed to begin the destruction of our country while violating the Constitution and abusing his presidential powers long enough. Your illegitimate president should never have been allowed to take the oath of office. First and foremost, he has no intention of keeping that oath. Secondly, he is unfit to be our nation’s president if y...

Lindsey Graham has cemented his legacy. He will forever be remembered as “the biggest wimp in the Senate.” From June of 2015 until November 8, 2016, Graham attacked Trump and rightfully claimed that he would be a danger to our nation’s future. However, after John McCain lost his battle with cancer in 2018, he gleefully surrendered himself to the orange buffoon. Since that day in August, Graham has become one of the biggest hypocrites in world history. The Senator from South Carolina renounced his morals, principles, integrity, and self-respect to the worst man in the world. I was watching television and another Republican legislator, whose name I do not remember said, “if Trump tells us to jump three feet high and scratch our head, we do it.” This is what is wrong with Washington and what is so revolting about Graham. Loyalty to a political party has become priority number one for every Republican politician. Loyalty to a group of criminals calling themselves a political party overshad...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart History will never see a more effective conman than Donald John Trump. For 78 years he made fools of thousands and even millions of Americans for his personal benefit. Yes, it is a fact that Trump is mentally ill. He is the definition of a “malignant narcissist.” Listening to part of his speech today, he is undoubtedly suffering from dementia or a normal but substantial decline in his mental abilities. He is an old 78. However, he continues to lie and create conspiracy theories that are so unbelievable Walt Disney would reject them. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A NOTICABLE DECLINE, TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS REMAIN LOYAL Trump respects no one. He has no interest in anyone other than himself. Recently it was revealed that he despises those men and women who stood by him through every lie. In private, he refers to them as “basement dwellers. You might remember the uproar Hillary Clinton created when she called them “a basket of deplorables.” It is now apparent that Trump and Hillary...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Recently, Trump appeared before the Israeli-American Council National Summit in Washington. He claimed to support Israel in the current, controversial military action against Hamas. However, he couldn’t end his lie and simply leave, he made another moronic statement prior to his departure. [Israel would likely cease to exist within two years should Harris win the election, and Jews would be partly to blame for that outcome because they tend to vote for Democrats, Trump argued.] On the reverse side, he doesn’t give a damn about the Palestinian people. Trump wants your vote, regardless of your concerns. Donald John Trump is a man without morals, principles or compassion for anyone other than himself. LET’S SWITCH TO UKRAINE Trump continues to praise Vladimir Putin and supports his illegal and immoral invasion of the democratic country of Ukraine. Under his demands, the Freedom Caucus has attempted to block every aid package for Ukraine. He and his ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The date was June 1, 2020. Trump decided to march from the White House to St. John’s Church for the sole purpose of obtaining a photo op to distract his followers from his failing attempt to win reelection. To reach St. John’s Church, he had to walk through Lafayette Park. A crowd of protestors filled a large part of the park. Trump called in members of the National Guard to lead the procession, and armed them with rubber bullets and tear gas. His plan was successful and an embarrassment for all Americans. Once again, our military was forced to attack peaceful citizens exercising their First Amendment rights for political reasons. Never forget Kent State. The hypocrisy in this picture was the photo itself. Trump stood in front of St. John’s holding an upside-down Bible. He has seldom, if ever, seen the inside of any church. He is not a Christian. TRUMP MAKES A FOOL OF HIMSELF IN THE MOST FAMOUS RESTING PLACE OF OUR NATION’S FALLEN SOLDIERS On Monday, August 26, ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The only responsibility of a President, a member of the House of Representatives, a Senator, or a Justice of the Supreme Court is to serve the electorate, the people who elected them, or the individuals who nominate them, hoping that they would serve them well by supporting their needs and wishes. There is no other reason for their existence in a Democratic Republic. Sadly, our elected officials, and the justices on the Supreme Court, continue to ignore their reason for living lives of luxury and privilege. The majority of our nation’s people are ignored by all 546 men and women who decide the future of 330+ million people. The executive branch primarily consists of two people: the President and Vice-President. The Legislative Branch is composed of 435 members of the House, and 100 Senators. There are nine members of the Supreme Court. We, the people, who compose the United States of America, rely on these 546 individuals to make decisions based on...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you follow politics, and you should, you will most likely remember Paul Ryan for two reasons. When he agreed to be Mitt Romney’s running mate in 2012, he prevented Romney from embarrassment. He was certain to be crushed in the coming general election. Ryan, once considered as the hope of the GOP in the 21 st century, failed to impress voters, and President Obama easily won a second term. The second reason to remember the reluctant Speaker of the House is his opposition to Trump’s candidacy in 2016. He denounced the legitimacy of a Trump presidency, and became a member of the “anybody but Trump” club. However, after his inauguration, Ryan bowed to Trump’s every unconstitutional and destructive demand. WHERE IS RYAN NOW? Ryan resigned from congress, but did not leave politics. He is now a member of the Board of Directors for FOX “the real fake news” News. Ryan continues to attack Trump, not for what he has done to our nation’s future, his constant violations o...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Ted Cruz is one of the few people in the world for which I am unable to find one positive attribute. By his own actions, he has proven himself to be the biggest hypocrite in America, its worst Senator, and a traitor to the people of Texas and our nation. Never forget that in his first year in office, 2013, he obeyed his benefactors, the Koch Brothers, and was instrumental in forcing a government shutdown. His loyalty is not to the American people, but in support of the super-rich. Cruz is running for a third term in November. Six years ago he won by a slim margin, and according to the polls his actions over the last six years could place him in a position to lose his seat to a Democrat. I assume he is fully aware of this possibility and is running scared. Therefore, in classic Republican style, he is attempting to reinvent himself with blatant lies and misrepresentation of the facts. Lie: “I try very much to have my focus be on the policies and sub...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   There is a solid reason why Ted Cruz will always be known as the worst senator in American history. He sucks. First elected in 2012, after he took office in January his first effort was to shut down our government and put thousands of federal employees out of work: except he and his fellow Congressmen .    A Man with no Spine, who is Void of Dignity and Integrity   During the 2016 campaign, he refused to fight back when he was constantly insulted by the orange buffoon. Trump didn’t stop there. He literally called Cruz’ wife “ugly.” Cruz refused to defend Heidi. Then he baselessly accused Cruz’ father of assisting Lee Harvey Oswald with the assassination of JFK. No response.   Now for the part which reveals levels of cowardice and hypocrisy I had never seen. When Cruz suspended his campaign, he began kissing Trump’s humongous derriere and worked for his campaign. I couldn’t make this shit up. He is now one of the leaders of the rig...
