Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, you don’t want to believe that Trump is an agent loyal to Vladimir Putin. You don’t believe that a rich, white, and mentally deficient man is a fascist who hates the very country he swore to “preserve and protect against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” You probably don’t like facts which prove that Trump is the enemy of the American people, but there are irrefutable truths which cannot be denied if you are only slightly honest with yourself. Putin, Trump, and his personal Gestapo are enemies of all loyal Americans, and some of their own “people.” REASONS WHY FAKE REPUBLICANS ARE REVEALING THEIR DESPERATION ABOUT THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS Although it is true that Republicans are a party of incompetents, and nothing proves this more than the fact that their reelection campaigns are being ignored in red states. They are focused on their most devoted supporters, diehard Republican voters. Every year over the last decade, the Republican base has declined in num...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nothing has changed, at least for the better, since Trump was inaugurated in 2017. Beginning in that year, there have been more mass shootings than days on the calendar. Domestic terrorism continues to be the greatest danger to the American people in the 21 st century. And your illegitimate president has added to the problem with the use of his personal Gestapo, ICE. Truth: If good, law-abiding men and women fear any law enforcement agency, that organization is composed of imposters. DOMESTIC TERRORISM HAS MANY FORMS Unfortunately, when the words “domestic,” and “terrorism” are placed together, the word violence is automatically added. However, all actions of terrorism do not include violence. Your illegitimate president was given powers by six corrupt and biased members of the Supreme Court unintended by the men who signed the Constitution in 1789. Trump is a mentally ill, old man, who chooses to use those undeserved powers for evil, not for good. Nothing matt...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart ICE is not a legitimate law enforcement agency. It was one of several unconstitutional and “knee jerk” reactions by the incompetent and criminal George W. Bush administration. What it is, is a paramilitary group of thugs and villains who share support for Trump and his fascist goals for America’s future. Republicans call them “law enforcement,” although that is an insult to every good man and woman in history who wore the badge in any nation in the world. ICE REVEALED What ICE has become is Trump’s personal Gestapo. When he speaks, they obey and take violent actions against innocent people with complete approval from the schoolyard bully. [• Historical and Recent Numbers: Over 300 people have died in ICE custody since the agency was created in 2003 (with numbers fluctuating by fiscal year). [• Recent Peaks: ICE reported 33 detainee deaths in 2025, which was the highest annual total in more than two decades. As of October 2026, at least 28 additional people...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Everyone in the world knows who the worst president in our nation’s history was and is. No one will ever take that title away from him. I am offering you my reasons why George W. Bush lost that “honor,” but will remain the second worst of all time. THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL PRESIDENT IN HISTORY In November of 2000 there was an election which would choose our 43 rd president. Bill Clinton served eight successful years, and Republicans were desperate to retake the White House. They nominated the former Governor of Texas, and son of our 41 st President, George H. W. Bush. George W. Bush was a controversial candidate from the beginning. He was a former alcoholic, drug abuser, and had failed miserably in the private sector. As the Governor of Texas, his only recognizable accomplishment was executing more prisoners than anyone else in history. His opponent was President Clinton’s Vice-President, Al Gore. He wasn’t exciting, and somewhat the opposite of Clinton: he was ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Yes, this old man does not respect or trust law enforcement by any name in the 21 st century. Both our military and law enforcement are fascist by design and necessity. However, in the 21 st century, they have forgotten their purpose and have surrendered their integrity, principles, and morals to the Fuhrer defiling our White House. Criminals, thugs, racists, and bigots: these are the components of a street gang known as ICE. They have the support of federal law enforcement agencies to harass, physically assault, and even murder innocent men and women in service to Donald Trump. HOW MY LIFE HAS CHANGED I was raised by my grandparents and one very special uncle. My mother was a single parent. To care for me and my younger brother, she worked as many hours as she could every week. Fortunately, we lived near her mother and father. I was taught to respect my elders, and every person in authority. That included the police. After my mother finally divorced my abusiv...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart ICE was created in a “knee jerk” reaction by the Bush administration after 9/11. It was totally unnecessary, and there were no definitions about what its powers would be, how they would be trained, and which government agency would control it. It was the second worst decision by the Bush administration after the unconstitutional Patriot Act. There is no difference between Hitler’s Gestapo and ICE. They are composed of white supremacists who hate the dream of our Founding Fathers, while supporting Trump’s belief in fascism and his worship for Adolf Hitler. ANYONE WHO CONTINUES TO SUPPORT TRUMP IN 2026, AFTER HE HAS BEEN TOTALLY EXPOSED IS AN ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE Trump openly admits that his loyalty is to our nation’s biggest enemies: Vladimir Putin, Mohammad bin Salman, and Kim Jong-un. He envies the fact that they are not required to win free and fair elections, or give a damn about the people they are intended to serve. NO MORE “MR. NICE GUY” I have wri...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Campaign promises, campaign promises broken. This is Trump’s legacy. The biggest problem in America today is the economy. For the majority of our nation’s people, it’s all about “Greedflation.” Trump promised to end the problem on day one, but it has become far worse over the last 15 months. His unilateral decision to wage war on Iran has become a very serious problem, and the reason everything is more expensive. Gas prices are outrageous and will continue to increase. The second biggest problem began its escalation ten years ago. Although right-wing politicians made attempts to create fear in the United States about the danger of terrorist attacks like 9/11, the greatest danger to all Americans comes from within. It is known as domestic terrorism. WHY HAS OUR GOVERNMENT IGNORED THE UNNECESSARY INCREASE IN MASS SHOOTINGS? From 2017 until today, there have been more mass shootings in America than days on the calendar. On March 2, 2021, former FBI Director, Christ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.” If you see something with your own eyes, it is reality, and cannot be questioned or denied. Trump is an idiot, and nothing proves this fact more than when he attempts to convince the American people that what they see is not real, and what he tells them is the only reality. The term is “gaslighting.” ["Gaslighting" (often misspelled "gaslighting") is a manipulative tactic where someone makes a victim question their own reality, memory, or sanity, creating self-doubt, confusion, and dependence, often to gain power, by denying events, trivializing feelings, or twisting facts. It's a form of psychological abuse, making the victim feel "crazy" or like they are "overreacting".] Trump’s biggest problem is that he thinks all Americans are as dumb as he and his followers choose to be. With our birthdays just three weeks apart, I would challenge the orange buffoon t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Immediately, without an investigation, without discussing the tragedy with any member of a legitimate law enforcement agency, Kristi Noem stood before the television cameras and claimed that the victim who had just been shot and killed by a member of ICE was a “domestic terrorist who had attempted to run over the agents with her vehicle.” Two videos and statements by eyewitnesses rebuked her rash and unverified statement, calling the death of 37-year-old Renee Niclole Good a murder. NO ONE IN POWER CAN BE TRUSTED IN THE 21 ST CENTURY Personally, because I have learned not to trust anyone in our government, and all law enforcement agencies, while placing my trust in regular Americans, like me, I immediately called “bullshit.” Noem is another paid liar whose only true function is to protect her Fuhrer. Here’s what I know from what I read, not from watching the ‘boob tube.’ Trump, his Nazi Party, six members of the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and 902 oligarchs ar...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, a reminder for our government: “this is our country. It belongs to us. You work for us and hiding the truth proves that you are lying about everything.” It is totally fair to judge your government by its own words and actions. When the men and women we elect lie to us, all trust is gone, forever. TRUMP LIES CONSTANTLY Since June 15, 2015, Trump told more than 100,000 lies in front of the television cameras, at his hate rallies, and on social media, likely while sitting on the toilet in the middle of the night. His biggest lie, a lie he knew was entirely false, claiming victory in the 2020 election continues. I find it unbelievable that anyone, any voter, in America is so weak-minded they ignore the decisions of more than 60 state courts, and his own, stacked Supreme Court. 2026: MORE LIES AND THE LEAST QUALIFIED ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY There is no possible way Trump could have chosen a less qualified staff for his second, illegitimate administration. Ma...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Another of Trump’s constant lies during the 2024 campaign is that his immigration policy would “only detain and deport undocumented immigrants who were criminals, including drug traffickers and rapists.” No surprise: he lied. Trump’s personal Gestapo, ICE, continues to kidnap and incarcerate anyone who is non-white, including citizens and others who have legal, temporary residence in the United States. There are multiple accounts when ICE has beaten, terrorized, and detained innocent men, women, and children. More recently it has murdered one woman in Minneapolis and mortally wounded a man and woman in Portland. These mostly poorly educated, white men wearing masks to hide their identity, claim to be law enforcement, when in reality they are Nazis, eager to cause harm and inflict pain on all non-whites, non-Christians, all women, the LGBTQ community, and anyone who resists their criminal and immoral actions. On Sunday, thousands of patriotic Americans in Minneap...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart We’re a little slow, but when the situation becomes unbearable, the American people eventually stand up and say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore.” It’s time for ICE to be disbanded. Trump’s personal Gestapo is composed of villains and thugs. The level of violence from this group of less than humans, is escalating rapidly. When Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE agents in Minneapolis, the Trump administration began telling outrageous lies in an effort to cover-up the truth. However, eyewitness accounts combined with two videos don’t lie. This was an act of first-degree murder committed by a group of Nazis. On Thursday, two additional innocent American citizens were shot by Trump’s Gestapo in Portland. After the man and woman were rushed to a hospital, their condition unknown, Portland city council member, Sameer Kanal, had this to say.  “You are hearing and you are seeing attempts to justify the unjustifiable, to completely defend the in...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Thugs, villains, criminals, racists, bigots, Nazis: these terms clearly define the men who compose Trump’s personal Gestapo known as ICE. What happened in Minneapolis to 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was bound to happen. ICE has been escalating its acts of violence over the last 12 months. As a group, they continue to demonstrate a total lack of respect for human life. Like all schoolyard bullies, Trump is using ICE to commit crimes against humanity in his name. Trump and his woefully unqualified Director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, are lying to cover-up what is clearly an act of murder. They claim that this mother of three was attempting to drive her vehicle into members of Trump’s Gestapo. This vile event happened in a residential neighborhood, and the following is an eyewitness account. [A witness to the shooting told CNN her "life is forever changed" after what happened. Emily Heller recounted how she was in the middle of making breakfast wh...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After his failure to protect our nation’s people from the attacks on 9/11, George W. Bush championed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, and ICE. None of these actions were necessary. America had agencies in place to protect our nation, but they lacked sufficient funding and competent leadership. Actions by the Bush Administration were purely political; efforts to secure victories in the midterm elections. For the next three years, Bush and his party controlled our nation with fear tactics. Every speech, every news conference contained references to 9/11 ad nauseum. The Department of Homeland Security wasted no time in proving its incompetence. With the use of emotions, it controlled our nation’s people for the next several years. Under puppy killer, Kristi Noem, it has become an asset for Trump’s personal Gestapo. The Patriot Act removes protections guaranteed to every citizen under the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th Amendmen...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart George W. Bush placed our nation in two unwinnable and costly wars. His lies and misleading allegations cost our nation dearly with the loss of life and nearly bankrupting our economy. His lack of oversight for Wall Street, and a failed fiscal policy of trickle-down economics, caused the Great Recession. However, a ‘knee jerk’ reaction to 9/11 resulted in two additional mistakes and crimes which continue to harm our nation today. A Republican led Congress passed bills which created the American Gestapo, known as ICE, and the Unconstitutional Patriot Act. On October 26, 2001, Bush 23 signed the Patriot Act into law. We were told that it was an effort to prevent another terrorist attack on our nation. However, it was far more nefarious. It allowed every law enforcement agency in America to detain any individual suspected of a possible act of terrorism, It also allowed these agencies to confiscate items found on their person, in their vehicles, and in their homes. ...

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 After the cowardly attacks on 9/11, our country became obsessed with “terrorism.” A ‘knee-jerk’ reaction by a Republican administration created the unconstitutional “Patriot Act,” and created a Gestapo known as ICE. However, a few years ago, then FBI Director, Christopher Wray, informed Congress that domestic terrorism is now the greatest danger to the American people. This has been proven by one statistic. Since 2017, there have been more mass shootings every year than days on the calendar. However, with a Hitler wannabe defiling our White House in 2025, domestic terrorism has revealed itself as our own government, and members of the United States Military. Trump is using a group of thugs and criminals as his own personal Gestapo, known as ICE, to accomplish his personal goal to ‘ethnically cleanse’ all Hispanics from America. Hitler was his idol. Every legitimate news agency with the courage to report the truth has stories to tell about these thugs and villain...
