Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you thought our government was in chaos, this is just the beginning. Not a single member of the Trump administration has any idea what they are doing. When their leader is an old, obese, vengeful, mentally challenged, and ignorant loser, what would you expect? Trump is a dictator, but he’s failing at this effort as he has everything else in his life. He and his Nazi Party can say anything they wish about the historic protests on October 18, but the truth lis clear. Real Americans, real patriots, will never live under fascist rule. By the time Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, he had the support of more than 95 percent of the German people. Trump’s supporters are decreasing in number. His support, at the highest estimate, is about 30 percent and in decline. these masked villains are not fully vetted, and many cannot pass drug testing or the physical requirements. The truth is clear: the federal government of the United States has a single purpose today: serve Fuh...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I was a little boy, after school television was hilarious. I watched the original Little Rascals, also known as the Our Gang comedies, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton and other old films including the Keystone Cops and later the Three Stooges. The Keystone Cops, also the Keystone Kops, were featured in slapstick silent movies only equaled by the Three Stooges. They were the first to make me laugh at their ridiculous antics and no dialogue was needed. A new troop of Keystone Cops has returned to the public eye, but the format has changed. They do not entertain with physical comedy, but with speech so hilarious I often believe they are serious. Their leader is a fat old man wearing a cheap “rug” on his head. This is the only physical comedy performed by these no-so-funny people. As it blows in the wind, we see the only part of his body which is not orange. The laughs they gave viewers in the early 1900’s continue today. However, this new group will be forgott...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The place in which I reside on this day July 2, 2024, is not the United States of America. You can call it “Trumpland,” the “Fascist and Disunited States of America,” or any other name which is accurate and truthful. Whatever that name might be, it has no resemblance to the America I loved in my early years. I grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Patriotism was absolute. Our brave men and women had recently defeated the spread of fascism. The most evil man in world history was dead and his army defeated. After Harry Truman made the controversial decision to use nuclear weapons against the men, women, and children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese Emperor begged the alliance to accept his surrender. Every American celebrated the end of WWII for the days, weeks, and months which followed. No one is celebrating America today. Instead of patriotism, there are historical protests against our illegitimate president and his fascist army. Even Trump’s most ardent sup...

Elon Musk was another bad joke played on the American people by Donald “the Destroyer” Trump. No one with half-a-brain would believe that a Billionaire engineer knew anything about economics at the federal level of any government. This is one of the primary reasons Trump will always be the worst president in history. A failed businessman could not possibly lead a nation of 340 million people. He had never been in government at any level. This is what happens when voters are uninformed. Musk announced that he was leaving the Trump administration at a joint news conference on Friday. Before the television cameras they displayed an atmosphere which indicated the separation of brothers from another mother was not only cordial, but very friendly. Now for the truth. Behind closed doors, aides reported a growing gap between the fascists. [Trump was often at odds with Musk. The billionaire’s eccentric humor often confused the president, who told his aides that Musk was “50 percent genius, 50 p...

The undeniable truth is that neither political party exists today. The Party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt is nothing but a memory, and the last Republican president who led the Party of Lincoln was Richard M. Nixon. Yes, Nixon, just check his record. After Ronald Reagan’s victories in 1980 and 1984, cowardly Democrats feared losing elections and began moving away from their liberal principles and more to the right. The party of FDR has never been the same. In that same year, 1980, the election of Ronald Reagan signaled the beginning of the end of the Grand Old Party. Reagan proved that he was a better actor than most people believed. He fooled me and millions of others who were looking for a real leader to take residence in the White House. Reagan informed the entire Republican Party of what his presidency would involve. He was in charge. There would be no opposing opinions or arguments when he declared the party’s position on any issue. In other words, free thought and alternate ideas...

In recent days it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump’s administration is the most incompetent and unqualified in history. Sadly, the hypocritical and cowardly members of the Senate confirmed these morons. The careless and dangerous security violations by Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth are far more serious than Trump would like you to know. Imagine that the attacks were against our greatest enemy; Russia. A mistake at this level could mean the physical destruction of America. It is more obvious than ever that Trump’s administration is composed of men and women who fail to possess qualifications for their positions. Unlike President Obama and President Biden, whose staffs were composed of people whose talents and abilities were incomparable. Trump chose individuals much like himself: criminals, degenerates, ambitious men and women who would take any position offered them which would give them relevance and credibility. Experience and qualifications were not considered by T...

Trump, Musk, and their entire administration are totally incompetent, unfit, and destructive. They are so horrible that the only sensible thing to do is realize that everything from election day until today is in reality a very bad practical joke on the American people. I should laugh, but I know too much about how our government should function, unlike Trump’s billionaires, criminals, and degenerates. The existence of the United States is in great jeopardy. Unfortunately, no one seems to care, including everyone in Washington, and the mainstream media. In just over two months, our nation has relinquished its position as the most powerful, the most respected, and the richest country on the planet. America is no longer the leader of the free world. This title now belongs to the leaders of the European Union, and the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney. For their nations, Trump is now their enemy and the reason they will soon face economic disaster. One of the biggest dangers to ou...

On January 20, 2017, Washington was changed forever. It’s composition for 241 years had been men and women who were patriots, loyal to the American people, and most were intent upon improving the lives of all Americans, while keeping them safe from our enemies, both foreign and domestic. However, since 1981 the former Grand Old Party began moving further to the right, and it was clearly divided between Moderates, the Tea Party, and a new fascist-leaning group calling themselves the Freedom Caucus. When Trump began his reign of terror, every man and woman calling themselves Republicans began to bow to the wannabe Fuhrer. Today’s Washington is filled with Fascists, Nazis, Incompetents, criminals, Traitors, and now Q’Anon Conspiracy Theorists. Here’s the latest from one of Trump’s woefully unqualified criminals pretending to be the Secretary of Defense. Pete, “the Drunk,” Hegseth and “Trump administration officials at the Pentagon invited antisemitic right-wing conspiracy theorist and ser...

  DOGE is a farce, about this, there is no argument. However, Musk and his Band of Babies are traitors among us and every day this fake department exists is a Constitutional violation. Elon Musk is in control. I am positive that a closer look at his background will reveal an association with Nazi sympathizers in South Africa. This egomaniac has greater aspirations than owning a failing electric car company. He is clearly power-mad, but without the support of our nation’s people. To work in his non-existent DOGE, Musk has employed several young engineers. These five or six Muskovites have the power to suggest firing longtime and experienced government employees. Some investigations into their backgrounds have begun. One name stands out currently. One 19-year-old, Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, was fired from a tech agency for committing acts of corporate espionage. This little punk has been given access to personnel records protected by their agreements as government employees. These...

Two statements are accurate: “All Governments are bad, some are simply worse than others,” and “all humans are flawed, some by honest mistakes and some by choice.” Some people choose not to believe that evil is a reality and threatens everything that happens every day in America. These same people fear the inevitable advancement of Artificial Intelligence, AI, for one reason: computers are far more intelligent than any human being. Think about it. If you are a septuagenarian, as I am, you know that over time those we consider to be of great intelligence prove us wrong. Human beings are flawed; some more than others. We must study history, and we must learn from our mistakes and the mistakes of others. Republicans continue their attempts to hide the truth by erasing historical fact. Racism, bigotry, homophobia, religious prejudice, and misogyny would be removed from our history books if those who call themselves “Republicans” have their way. If you would like to experience the essence o...

The hearings to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense in the Senate are scheduled to begin today. It would be extremely difficult to find a less qualified nominee. Trump could have chosen son Eric, or possibly Sean Hannity; anyone but Hegseth. However, Hegseth does not stand out among the incompetent criminals and sexual deviates selected by the draft dodger. He is simply another future resident in the asylum: the new name for the White House. Soon it will become a reality: “the inmates will be running the asylum.” Hegseth and Trump have a lot in common. The FOX News personality also paid hush money to a woman after she accused him of sexually assaulting her. Trump consistently stole funds from his own charity. Hegseth was forced to step down as the CEO of two charitable organizations, Veterans for Freedom, and Concerned Veterans for America. The accusations included financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct. Like Trump, he was accused of being a lifel...

  Trump must be “punking” America. His list of nominees to head important agencies is composed of some of the most laughable men and women in America, none of which is qualified to make decisions about their own lives, and definitely not our nation’s future. If he is serious about them, he is without a doubt the dumbest son-of-a-bitch on the face of the earth. There is only one alternative: he wants to destroy every department in our government and end the existence of the United States forever. The list is long, and I don’t know everything about each of the lowlifes Trump selected. However, I can give you the highlights, or rather lowlights, of a few woefully unqualified selections. To be fully accurate, I must go back in time and look at his choice for Vice President. Once a huge Trump critic, whose comments were often brutal and more frightening for Trump, accurate, J.D. Vance is disliked by Democrats and Republicans alike. Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick was onc...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you want to see Donald Trump’s America, watch the “highlights” of the annual bitch-fest known as CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, over the next few days. However, if you have high blood pressure, or a heart condition, listening to men and women who have a lower-than-average IQ, and hate their country, may result in a cardiac event or even death.   Today's Ringmaster is Also a Clown The leader of all right-wing politicians received an award this week. In a rating from first to 45 th , Donald John Trump received the much-deserved title of “worst president in history.” If he’s the best they have to offer, take a moment to think about how disastrous the rest of his party would be if allowed to defile the White House.   The truth is simple and irrefutable. Not a single man or woman calling themselves a “Republican” is qualified to lead our nation, and most, like Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Loren Boebert, Jim Jordan, Ted...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz: these are just a few of not only the worst legislators in American history, but the worst people ever to unjustly claim the title of “American.” How did this happen? How did our government become the most corrupt, incompetent, and uncaring in the world? Let’s stop lying to ourselves. This situation is our fault. These people were not ‘hired’ for their positions, they received enough votes to win elections. We, the voting public, are to blame for the fact that America has the worst government in the free world. Voters in Ohio, Georgia, Colorado, Florida, and other states simply chose to support anger, hatred, and support violence against minorities, Muslims, Jews, Hispanics, and all women rather than display any form of patriotism. These fake Republicans who call themselves the “Freedom Caucus,” have no interest in effectively governing our nation. They serve their masters; the plutocrats who a...
