I am not unaware that Putin is pulling Trump’s strings. However, in typical Trump ‘style,’ his ego surpasses his little brain’s abilities, and he lashes out, making moronic decisions without information or careful thought. His latest ridiculous decision in retaliation to the European Union’s response to his tariffs would place a 200 percent tariff on alcohol products exported to the United States. It is fair to say that Trump is declaring war on nation’s who were our closest allies for a hundred years. Once again, Trump proves that he is unfit to be our president, and once again he confirms the fact that he is not an American. He is destroying our nation piece by piece as Putin is laughing in his Russian castle. If you have been a loyal supporter for 10 years, and fail to realize that he doesn’t give a damn about you, there’s something drastically wrong with your inability to think clearly. Co-presidents, Trump and Musk, are ruining lives and creating pain for people around the world. ...

The second, the sequel, of any movie is always worse than the first. This is extremely accurate when looking at the first two weeks of Trump’s illegitimate current administration. It will be remembered as a gang of criminals and greedy oligarchs: not a single credible man or woman among them. Let’s take a look at some of Trump’s “only the best people.” Let’s begin with the man confirmed by a corrupt and cowardly Senate as Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. Hegseth is a former Fox News personality. His credentials include arriving at work drunk, and other escapades when he was removed from various venues for drunken and disorderly conduct, stealing funds from two veteran’s charities he led, and paying off a woman who accused him of sexual assault. His own mother called him a sexual predator. He will be in control of the Pentagon and the largest and most expensive army in the world. How about Pam Bondi? She is Trump’s choice for the powerful post of Attorney General, the highest law enf...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Okay, I let it out. Hopefully this is the last of my negative emotions today. It’s my own fault. I read too much. Few things affect me deeply. I refuse to be lied to. Once someone, anyone, lies to me, the relationship is over. Whether it be friend or family, earning my respect is equal to my ability to give unrestricted love. Last, but not least, I abhor anyone who chooses ignorance over fact. I call them “idiots.”   This is the term I now use to describe Trump’s political party, his cult, fake newspersons, anyone who supports Trump in 2024.   TRUMP IS AN EMPTY, VENGEFUL, AND DARK VESSEL   I consider myself an informed, intelligent voter. Political party affiliation will never be a factor. First and foremost, my choice is based on the issues most important to me and those I love. I research the candidates and select the one most closely aligned with my needs and wishes. Secondly, he or she must possess a sincere sense of morality and compass...
