   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If the American people have learned anything about their illegitimate president, there are two facts which stand above all others. He will do anything to prevent the exposure of his penchant for pedophilia, and the fact that his book, “The Art of the Deal,” was nothing more than a fairy tale. Trump is a lifelong schoolyard bully. All bullies are cowards and use others to fight their battles. Trump is using the incompetent men and women in the Pentagon to redirect attention from the facts contained in the Epstein files and place focus on his war crimes. What happened off the coast of Venezuela and Nigeria are nothing but acts of premeditated murder. Most American presidents attempt diplomatic discussion prior to military action. Trump lacks any ability to communicate and therefore any talent for honest and meaningful negotiation. With another Constitutional violation, Trump began military action against a sovereign nation, Venezuela, alleged M...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “I love wars, even the nuclear kind.” This was a statement made by your illegitimate president during the 2016 campaign. As the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s personal documents grew near, Trump began attempts to redirect the expected proof that he is a pedophile, and create fear within our nation’s people. He wants a war more than anything else he can imagine. Only another illegal war, created by a Republican president, could force the people to redirect their focus. In collusion with the Pentagon, Trump began ordering the murders of passengers in power boats off the coast of Venezuela. He claimed they were transporting illicit drugs but had no proof. That was just the beginning. The truth is, these actions are war crimes, and our military leaders are guilty for their violations of the UCMJ, the Universal Code of Military Justice. He is now threatening an invasion of Iran. Protesters are filling the streets, blaming their government for a failing economy resultin...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The mainstream media is constantly hiding facts from the American people. I will never offer less than the truth to my readers. Trump sent National Guard Troops to Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago for one reason, and one reason only: to prevent the “No Kings” protests against his authoritarian and fascist actions by true and patriotic Americans. As America’s leading hypocrite, he is taking action to protect protestors, albeit in a Muslim nation. Protests against the failure of Iran’s leaders based on a declining economy, have turned deadly. “If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” Throughout our nation’s 249 years, our federal government continues to interfere with events occurring in other nations. We are not a “great nation,” and we are not the “world’s police force.” We have no right to impose our beliefs on other nations...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, an undeniable fact. Pete Hegseth is woefully unqualified to be Trump’s first Secretary of Defense. Without an iota of experience in any level of government, the well-known sexual predator, alcoholic, and a man who embezzled funds from charities involved with veterans, which he led, was given one of the most important positions on any president’s cabinet. Over the last five months, Hegseth has proven himself to be a moron who has no legitimate reason to be in any form of government. He is an embarrassment to himself, to Trump, and to his country. Trump doesn’t care, but the American people should. Hegseth is loyal to Trump, not to his country, not to 340 million people. He is lying about the effectiveness of the 14 ‘mega bombs, each weighing 30,000 pounds, dropped on Iran last Saturday evening. Although Trump and his cronies united in the last two days to falsely claim that the attacks were completely successful, reports by respected authorities contradict...

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...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This is what Trump’s Pentagon had to say after America bombed Iran yesterday. [Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that America “does not seek war” with Iran in the aftermath of a surprise attack overnight on three of that country’s nuclear sites while Vice President JD Vance said the strikes have given Tehran a renewed chance of negotiating with Washington.] What is the difference between bombing Iran and bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945? People are killed: some innocent, and some not. Bombing any nation, including retaliation for an attack on our own country is an act of war. Nations and their citizens around the world are angry about these attacks. The were the act of a bully, and a President of the United States. Using weapons of mass destruction is not the only way in which one nation declares war on another. In 2016, 2020, and 2024, Russia’s interference in our most sacred democratic process, our right to vote, were declarations of war. Vladim...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you support Trump’s unsupported decision to bomb Iran, it’s time for you to go back to school. Not a single nation can stand alone in the 21 st century. All nations form alliances with other nations which are beneficial to both. What you don’t know about the Middle East could kill you. You may believe that the military forces of the United States are far superior to nearly every other nation in the world. Individually, that may be true, but consideration must be given to the nations which support them. After yesterday’s attacks on Iran, Vladimir Putin stepped forward with an offer to supply nuclear weapons to Iran. Although the Middle East has always been divided between Israel, and multiple Islamic nations separated by opposing Muslim sects, Suni and Shiite, Trump’s ill-advised decision to bomb a Muslim nation in support of the enemy of all Muslim nations, will result in the unification of all Islamic countries in the world. Every American and the entire na...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The last victory for America’s military leaders was in 1945. Since that day, our nation has been involved in four wars: Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. We have lost all four. If Trump makes a decision to join Israel in its war with Iran, I fear the worst. America will lose again, but how great the losses might be are unimaginable and unforgivable. Trump’s ignorant actions might force all Arab nations in the region to unite, and Russia could support them with all their might, including nuclear weapons. There is talk about a ceasefire. However, if Trump is included in the discussions, he could be the problem. He refuses to negotiate honestly and compromise when necessary. He is a bully and will always be a schoolyard bully. Republican presidents love wars. At one of his hate rallies, Trump told his basement dwellers: “I love wars, even the nuclear kind.” Op-ed by James Turnage Follow my blog and be informed Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every time the character, Deborah, called her husband, Raymond, an “idiot” on the hit television comedy, “Everybody Loves Raymond,” I laughed. If I were a member of Trump’s White House staff, I would be laughing all day. He is truly a moron. Not once between 2017 and 2021 was Trump “presidential,” including when we needed a leader most as Covid-19 arrived in America. He continues to be the orange buffoon pretending to be the President of the United States. War has begun in the Middle East between Israel, an American ally in possession of nuclear weapons, and Iran, which is attempting to develop the same weapons of mass destruction. Domestic Terrorism is escalating in America. Inflation is on the rise. Our country is in chaos. The economy is crashing. Trump’s approval ratings are at rock bottom. But none of that is important to the dumbest man on earth: he succeeded in the construction of two 100-foot tall flag poles on the north and south lawns of the White Hous...
