Bigly Bombs, Bigly Cost, and a Bigly To Do About Nothing

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a bully. Using the largest non-nuclear bombs ever made in the U.S. was the ultimate act of a coward who has others do his fighting for him. Of course, there was a cost to the American people when our military dropped 14 bombs on Iran’s nuclear facilities. At more than $5,000,000 each, the cost was greater than 100 million dollars. It’s true that the older a man gets, the more expensive his toys become. Although Trump and his woefully unqualified Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, claimed that Iran’s efforts to construct nuclear weapons was “obliterated,” experts report that the military of the United States once again failed to attain its goals. [Rafael Grossi, who heads the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said that US strikes on three sites a week ago had caused "severe damage" but it was not "total".] [Mr. Grossi told CBS News: "The capacities they have are there. They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I w...

Comparing Donald Trump and Richard Nixon

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, you know me, and if you read most of my rants, you know that I believe without a doubt that Trump is the worst president in history,  for the second time, and no one will ever take that title from him. You may also know that although Richard Nixon made a huge mistake, and deserved to be punished for his crime, I consider him one of the best Republican presidents in modern history. Now I’m going to tell you why. First, I offer you one fact which is irrefutable. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump failed to record a single positive accomplishment. In 2025 he has become more destructive and dictatorial than before. Unlike Nixon, Trump has not been forced to pay for his many, many crimes. That said, let’s compare Mr. Nixon’s accomplishments and how Trump has addressed the same issues today, or if he has simply ignored them. Although Trump expressed his feelings about our military personnel, calling them “suckers and losers,” what a draft dodger would say, he has ...

Our Founding Father’s Creation of a Diplomatic Republic has Been Trashed by Dictator Donald John Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Not one democratic government can exist with the existence of a single party. Without deliberation and compromise, democracy shrinks into non-existence and an autocracy is born. This is Donald Trump’s plan for America, and it has been fulfilled. Congress did not approve Trump’s declaration of war against Iran yesterday when he ordered our military to drop twelve 30,000-pound bombs on sites inside Iran which are allegedly dedicated to developing nuclear weapons. Not only did he refuse to follow the mandate of the Law of the Land, he ignored the entire Democratic Party. This essentially was a declaration that Democrats and Independents have no place in Trump’s new and devolved country. Only members of his American Fascist Party will be heard. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump pretended to be your dictator. In 2025 he is a dictator without opposition and therefore America’s Fuhrer. He has attained his “dream job:” Hitler 2.0. With that said, as long as Trump remains you...

Still Doubt that Trump is the Antichrist?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The story of an “Antichrist” is found in the Old Testament in John 1, 2, and 4. However, John states that the Antichrist is not singular, but includes many who deny the teachings of Jesus Christ and seek to take his place on earth. I am convinced by his words and actions that Trump is indeed the Antichrist of the 21 st century. He opposes everything taught by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. [Love: Jesus' teachings place love at the very center, urging followers to love God and love their neighbors as themselves. This love extends to enemies, demonstrating a radical approach to compassion and forgiveness.] Trump preaches anger, hatred, violence in his name, and revenge. He has spent his first five months in office seeking revenge against anyone he perceives as his enemy. This need to spite those who disagree with his fascist policies is the direct result of his lifelong disease, Malignant Narcissism. Malignant Narcissism: “Malignant narcissism is a form o...

Chaos Destroys Nations: Trump is the King of Chaos

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most Americans believe that Trump is a moron and his incompetence is why our nation is in a state of chaos. They are only partly accurate.  He is a moron: a braggart who believes he is intelligent and more important than anyone else in the world. His lifelong disease, malignant narcissism, makes him weak. However, our current government, 435 members of the House, 100 Senators, and six biased members of the Supreme Court are cowards and place the people of their country at the bottom of their “to do list.” Doing the right thing for God and Country is the missing ingredient in Washington today.  Our Founding Fathers made many mistakes between 1787 and 1789 during the Constitutional Convention. All of the participants were aware of this fact, and many admitted their failings in letters after the signing of the Law of the Land. Their most destructive error was their faith in human nature. They believed that their successors would improve upon what they had...

Trump’s Personal Agenda Continues to Take Precedence Over the Needs of an Entire Nation

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Contrary to Trump’s lie, Greedflation continues to grow. Domestic terrorism continues to escalate, making leaving your home a threat to your life. Protest against the fascist actions by Trump and Musk continue. Every day more Americans are losing faith in our government and find reasons to believe that our nation is broken beyond repair. Fear, despair, and mistrust have replaced any feelings of security the American people might have felt prior to January 20, 2025. Between 2017 and 2021, the Trump administration failed to present a single positive accomplishment for the majority of our nation’s people. To the contrary, the orange buffoon’s failure to take timely action when he was made aware of an approaching healthcare emergency, cost more than one million Americans their lives, and nearly placed our nation in a second Great Depression. Experts in healthcare claim that Trump is directly responsible for as many as 100,000 of those lives based on his failure to t...

It’s Official, Dictator Donny Demanded Worship from our Military, and They Surrendered

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “What was in it for them? They’re all suckers and losers.” The former was a statement made to his aides when Trump was in France to honor the brave Americans who lost their lives in WWI. He did not attend the ceremony. It was confirmed in 2016 that Trump’s Daddy purchased deferments from a podiatrist preventing his useless son, who grew up in a wealthy family and extreme white privilege, from serving in the Vietnam War. The old, obese, fascist coward is honoring himself and his claim to the title of Commander-in-Chief with a costly and unnecessary military parade this weekend. Sunday just happens to be his birthday. Coincidence? I think not. Another of his endless lies claims that this act of a ruthless and heartless dictator is to honor the 250 th anniversary of the United States Army. It could have been planned for a more symbolic day, such as combining the event no real American will watch with our nation’s 249 th birthday on July 4 th . However, Trump is t...

The Second American Revolution Has Begun

Image
  As villains always do, Trump made two serious mistakes over the last few days. Sending two groups of our nation’s military to halt protests against his vicious and illegal immigration policies, 2000 members of the National Guard, and 700 Marines, were a declaration of war against all men and women who cherish, respect, and are willing to support the Constitution of the United States by any means possible. Our founding fathers were willing to sacrifice everything, including their lives, for the New Country. I wonder how many American citizens in the 21 st century are willing to make sacrifices of their own, and how many are cowards and will choose to surrender to the fascist traitor defiling the White House? If what America once stood for is not worth fighting for, if the future of those you love is not worthy of sacrifice, you cannot call yourself a ‘patriot,’ or even an ’American.’ Because of Trump’s vile attacks against the people of Los Angeles, protests are being planned acr...

Trump Pisses on the First Amendment Again, and Again, and Again

Image
On June 1, 2020, your fascist and illegitimate president intentionally violated the First Amendment rights of hundreds of American citizens protesting outside of the White House in Lafayette Park. He used members of the United States military to disperse the crowd, firing rubber bullets and exploding tear gas canisters. The reason? A photo-op at St. John’s Church where the Antichrist held a Bible upside down. Yesterday, June 7, 2025, Trump violated the First Amendment rights of thousands of peaceful protestors in Los Angeles as they rallied against Trump’s vicious and racist immigration policies. Fascism remains in control of our nation. Since January 20, Trump has waged war against anyone who disagrees with him or his policies. He is acting like every other ruthless and heartless dictator in the world. He must be stopped by any means. His efforts to repeal the First Amendment are sufficient reasons to impeach him once again. Moscow Mitch McConnell is not in a position to oversee a moc...

The “Big Beautiful Bill,” or “A Huge Mistake?”

Image
Some “Republican” members of the House are voicing regrets about voting for Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” I am aware that most Americans believe that members of the legislature read the bills presented to them before casting their votes. They are wrong. Members of the House and Senate rely on their aides to read and analyze each bill presented to them. However, they are far too busy campaigning for their next election, or attending events with the billionaires/oligarchs who pay for their votes to actually read and understand them personally. Uninformed voters were shocked when the “Mother of Fascism,” Marjorie Taylor Greene, expressed some regret while admitting that she had not read the document prior to voting in favor of Trump’s “Big Mistake.” Trump’s former “brother from another mother,” Elon Musk, left Washington but not politics. He has become the biggest critic of Trump’s destructive bill. ["I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore," Tesla and SpaceX CEO Mu...

TACO Man

Image
I admit to giving Trump many nicknames over the last 10 years. All were applicable, but none was simple and defined him for the “real Donald Trump” he has always been. I called him “Trumpenstein,” “Putin’s Puppet,” the “Fuhrer,” the “Destroyer,” a “Con Man,” “The Orange Buffoon,” and, of course, a “sexual predator.” All of these are true, but not as humorous as I would have liked. This week he has become known as the “TACO Man.” The acronym stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” It’s funny and accurate. He constantly makes a fool of himself. His intellect is far below average, and when he speaks to his supporters it is clear that he is illiterate. His greatest display of ignorance had become his decision to place tariffs on imports from nearly every nation in the world. Nearly every economist in our nation exposed the fact that tariffs are never effective and are always destructive to economic growth and national security. When his oligarchs began to complain, and Musk resigned, he re...

Trump’s War is Misunderstood: He is Deathly Afraid of the Truth and Facts

Image
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...

I.C.E.: Incompetent Criminal Enterprise

Image
In March of 2003, George W. Bush and his ignorant and over-reactive administration decided that instead of properly funding our nation’s existing Border Control, they would create a new agency, costing millions of dollars a year for political reasons. They named it “Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” However I.C.E. has become Trump’s personal gestapo, and its proper name is more apropos. It is another Republican failure I call it an “Incompetent Criminal Enterprise.” “We will only be deporting illegal immigrants focusing on criminals, drug dealers, and gang members.” Another lie and broken promise from Trump. Over the last four months, I.C.E. has been arresting and placing American citizens, men and women who have legal residence in America, and anyone who is not pure white in detention centers awaiting deportation to God knows where. The truth is, the right wing’s move towards extremism and finally fascism did not begin with Trump and his handler, Vladimir Putin. It began in 1981 i...

“The “Big, Beautiful Tax Bill:” Once Again the Working Class Will Pay for Tax Cuts for the Super-Rich

Image
In 2024, Kamala Harris said: “Donald Trump would deliver tax cuts to his donors. I will deliver tax cuts to working people and the middle class.” Millions of Americans chose to believe another lie, and ignore Ms. Harris’ warning. Trump made another promise he failed to keep: “I will end inflation on day one.” He offered voters the same lie about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Here’s what Trump’s “Big Beautiful Tax Plan” will do to America. While giving huge tax cuts to the people who need it least, 813 billionaires/oligarchs, it will add more than three-and-one-half TRILLION dollars to the national debt. To offset the nearly four trillion dollars allowing the super-rich to become even richer, nearly six million Americans will lose their healthcare immediately. Millions more will see a decrease in, or the end of Medicaid programs. And SNAP, the former food stamp program, will likely disappear entirely. This is Trump’s plan: give all of the money to his rich friends and fuck the American...

Another Embarrassment for America: Trump Addresses West Point Graduates

Image
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 has Become the No Taxes on the Rich, but Spend, Spend, Spend President

Image
  One look at Trump’s residence inside Trump Tower on 5 th avenue in New York City, and it is clear that the malignant narcissist has delusions of grandeur. Gold paint is everywhere on everything. It is gawdy and unlivable for any normal human being. The only differences in Trump 2.0 and his original illegitimate presidency in 2017 is that he is exacerbating his destruction of American values at a much faster pace, and is finding ways to spend more of your tax dollars, while reducing the amount of revenue necessary to slow or end the rising national debt. Between 2017 and 2021 Trump averaged more than six million dollars each month using taxpayer money for personal pleasure. He is on pace in 2025 to increase that unfathomable number to ten million each month. Once again, he is reducing taxes for the super-rich, using funding allotted for Medicaid and other necessary funds to justify his homage to those who don’t need it. He hasn’t talked about his most moronic idea, yet, his unnec...

George W. Bush Destroyed the lives of more than 500,000 Men and Women

Image
The illegal and immoral wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, waged by George W. Bush, forced many of our nation’s bravest and best young men and women to return to war zones a number of times. The human brain lacks the ability to survive this type of torture. Fact: Bush’s lies and incompetence, which placed our nation in two unwinnable and costly wars, are unforgivable sins for which he was never prosecuted or punished in any way. More than 4,500 American military lives were lost in Iraq. More than 2,400 were killed in Afghanistan. Add to this the thousands who suffered serious injuries and committed suicide, and the number rises to more than 12,000 injured or killed in wars we lost. However, one number no one has ever reported, another failure by the mainstream media, is the number of Americans who were seriously damaged by PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. These mostly men and a considerable number of women lost their ability to live a normal life after returning from multiple deploymen...

Although our Elected Officials Remain Cowardly, the American People are Standing up to Dictator Donald Trump

Image
Across America, on every day of the week, there are protests against Trump, Musk, and their American Fascist Party. Even the most uninformed citizens are beginning to see the real Donald Trump and his corrupt and treasonous party. All of the issues Kamala Harris attempted to warn the American people about, Trump and his plans for America’s future which have become a reality have been revealed. Trump is following his own fascist manifest, Project 2025 chapter by chapter. By the end of 2025, he will have completed all 922 pages. My only hope is that all men and women loyal to the principles and ideals of our Founding Fathers will rise up and save their dream. Op-ed by James Turnage If you follow my blog, you will be an informed American citizen   

Lombardo is Just Another Lying Fascist

Image
It was a sad day. After an effective Governor, Steve Sisolak, led my state of Nevada through Trump’s devastating pandemic, he was defeated by a Trump lackey, Joe Lombardo. Lombardo is now seen in ads for developers and as an advocate for private and charter schools Here’s why “The Truth Lives Here.” I moved to Northern Nevada in 1986 from North County San Diego. I plan to die here. I feel very fortunate to have lived in three extraordinary places. At the age of five my parents moved from Lewiston, Idaho, where I was born in 1946, to Los Angeles, California. We, my maternal grandparents, and one of my uncles caravaned to a city which promised good jobs. In 1977, just after the birth of my daughter, I moved my family to San Diego’s booming north county after accepting a job offer. After a divorce, and a new marriage, I left California for the Reno, Nevada, area in 1986. I worked in my profession as a hairstylist, but a year later entered into the gambling industry. I worked with men and ...

Sorry Trump Fans, It’s Too Late

Image
The damage is done, and it’s irreparable. I continue to find it unconscionable that Trump was allowed to wear the label of President of the United States for a second time. He has doubled down on the destruction of my America. Lawerence O’Donnell reports that a significant number of Trump’s most ardent supporters and independent voters who failed to vet Trump and his party, are turning against him. These ignorant men and women were warned that the plans contained in Project 2025 would harm them the most, but they ignored facts and accepted more lies from the worst old man in the world. “But the marginal voter who made Donald Trump, that swing voter who made Donald Trump president, has now turned against Donald Trump,” O’Donnell said. Okay, here’s what I don’t understand. Fact: Trump has failed to keep every campaign promise. Fact: Every action taken by Trump and Musk is destructive and removes some of the only working parts of our government. Fact: Trump is following the right-wing fas...
