Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nevada Governor, Joe Lombardo, is a Trump Lacky. He is also, like his handler, a tool of the super-rich. If you live in Nevada, you have likely watched his expensive and professionally produced commercials. In them, professional actors claim that Lombardo has improved our state’s healthcare, schools, and made housing affordable. Here are the irrefutable facts. FOUR YEARS LATER, NEVADA IS IN A HEALTHCARE CRISIS Joe Lombardo became Nevada’s governor in 2022. Like his hero, Donald Trump, he has accomplished nothing. The truth reveals that the Silver State is in crisis when the subject is healthcare. MY ADVIDE: DON’T GET SICK IN NEVADA [In 2026, Nevada consistently ranks near the bottom for overall healthcare and health system performance. Key indexes place the state as 31st, 42nd, and 50th nationally. Nevada struggles with a severe shortage of primary care providers and frequently ranks second in the U.S. for residents avoiding care due to high costs.] I can attest...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump and the Trump Party are composed of liars, incompetents, and racists. I have said many times that “if Trump’s lips are moving, he’s lying.” Trump loves to brag about other Democratic president’s accomplishments, claiming them as his own. However, when he fails, which is every time he attempts to do anything, he blames his debacle on someone else. A FAILURE A MINUTE Like his lies, Trump’s failures have reached numbers too big to count. And the saga continues. First, and foremost, you must know that everything Trump attempts is an effort to satisfy his insatiable ego. This fact is the result of a lifelong mental disease known as “malignant narcissism,” combined with advancing dementia. His latest efforts, and therefore his latest failures, involve the reflecting pool on the National Mall, and his tacky plan to celebrate our nation’s 250 th anniversary. He is calling it the “Great American State Fair.” When it began this week, the water in the reflecting poo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Since 2015, Trump and Tucker Carlson have been like brothers from another mother. They shared fascist beliefs, and constantly lied about what was actually happening in Washington and red states. However, as it happens in many families, these siblings have parted ways, and the split is filled with anger and accusations. REVEALED: THE REAL DONALD TRUMP Carlson told a reporter that Trump’s unilateral decision to begin a war with Iran, and the fact he and our incompetent leaders in the Pentagon failed to accomplish a single goal, and therefore lost the war, reveal the irrefutable fact that he is a “weak, old man.” He also referred to him as “buffoonish,” After Trump’s incessant posting on Truth Social, Carlson uttered the words, “Shut-up Bitch,” and offered his opinion of your failed and illegitimate president. “After the four hundredth Truth Social, they reached the same conclusion that everyone on the globe reached, which was, ‘This guy’s not strong, he’s weak.’ S...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The facts are irrefutable. Donald Trump is America’s greatest traitor, and its greatest enemy, equaled only by his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin. To call him “America’s worst president in history” is redundant. Two impeachments, zero fair trials in the Senate: committing treason on January 6, 2021: violating the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021: responsible for many of the one-million-plus deaths from Covid-19 after failing to take immediate action: and placing our economy in proximity to a second great depression: these are the highlights of Trump’s first term between 2017 and 2021. From his first day in office until today, his second term is far, far worse. PROJECT 2025: 922 PAGES OF FASCIST DOCTRINE On January 21, 2025, Trump revealed his plans for the next four years. He began efforts to destroy the lives of his enemies: more than 200 million patriotic Americans. His early Constitutional violations were efforts to use his position as your illegitimate president...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I find it ludicrous to believe that Trump and his propaganda machines, Fox News, News Nation, and the others, continue to repeat the biggest lie in history.  “The 2020 election was the safest and most secure in history.” This statement was made by Christopher Krebs after the election was confirmed. He was the man Trump selected to be his election czar. He was telling the truth. 60 state courts threw out Trump’s false allegations. His own, stacked Supreme Court examined the filings offered by Trump’s attorneys and refused to address his big lie. The truth is, Trump got his humongous derriere kicked. Suffering from a lifelong mental illness, his ego is incapable of accepting another defeat. RIGHT-WING VOTER SUPPRESSION Using Trump’s big lie, red states are once again engaged in actions which can only be called voter suppression. They are attempting to hide the truth, citing the “2020 rigged election.” Here’s the truth about voter fraud in the United States. Th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There is no vandalism. For once in your waste of human life, admit that you fucked up. You gave a friend a “no bid” contract for an unnecessary rebuild of the reflecting pool, and it is clear that he had no idea what he was doing. It appears that he took some of the Hispanic employees you have at Mar-a-Lago to do the job. Big mistake. It turned vomit green as it was being filled, and I assume he used regular house paint to cover the bottom instead of marine-quality paint. SAD, SO SAD The irrefutable truth is that Trump’s life story is a tale of abject failure. He has never accomplished anything of value in 80 years. He has made many mistakes, although he continues his lie: “I have never done anything wrong.” He attempts to justify the fact that he is a draft dodger. He also refuses to admit that when Covid-19 became deadly in America, his claim that “it will just go away” resulted in more than a million deaths In 2024, uninformed voters gave Trump a second chan...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Yes, I am a wise old fart. I have lived in my beloved country for nearly 80 years. That is why what I see happening in my nation of choice is so upsetting and even incomprehensible. My articles are often repetitive, and I am fully aware of this fact. Sometimes I think that I’m attempting to wake up and find that this is all a nightmare. Maybe it’s the memory of a bad movie I watched 40 years ago. Unfortunately, our elected officials are so cowardly and incompetent that what I am experiencing is reality. WAS I BRAINWASHED? I think back to my younger years when I was growing up in the post war era and how I viewed my country. I might have been brainwashed as I review my thoughts and beliefs as a young American. However, by the time I was partially an illusion, manufactured by the politicians in Washington. OUR LEADERS HAVE EMBARRASSED OUR FOUNDING FATHERS When I compare the courage and dedication of our Founding Fathers to what has happened to my country over the ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Whoever came up with the idea to have a national holiday to celebrate all 47 of our nation’s presidents was an idiot who obviously never read the history of our country. Most of the men who were given the opportunity and privilege to lead America’s people were complete failures, and some caused harm to our nation’s future. Only a few should receive such an honor, because only a handful performed the duties required of an American President. When I was a young man, our nation celebrated the lives of two Presidents, Abraham Lincoln on February 12 th , and George Washington on February 22 nd . They were deserving of the honor. I would have added Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose birthday is January 30. “The People’s President” was the greatest of all time for a single reason: he was the only man to place all Americans in priority number one. MY AMERICA TOOK ITS LAST BREATH ON JANUARY 20, 2017 On January 20, 2017, not only was the worst president in history  inau...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As you know by now, our Founding Fathers made mistakes. They knew it, but believed that their successors would make the necessary improvements. They expected others would be eager to follow them and serve their country, their people. However, they failed to foresee the weakness and lack of character we experience today. The federal government of the United States is the most incompetent and corrupt in the world in 2026. And their leader is the “Don” of the Washington Mafia.” “The president continues to find new, once-unimaginable ways to use the awesome powers of the federal government to enrich himself.” Michael A. Cohen, (author). HOW MANY OF OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED LEADERS ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY? The saddest and most important lesson I learned over my nearly 80 years as a patriotic American, is that in the 21 st century, no one with extreme wealth and/or power can be trusted. If I had to guess, I believe that about 80 percent of those who spend ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No one could write a movie this confusing. On every set is a person whose job is to ensure that the film contains continuity and makes sense from beginning to end. What’s left of Donald Trump’s little brain is a f**king mess. No one knows what he is doing, including Donald John Trump. The old, mentally disabled, obese man who is pretending to be your president revealed himself as the Antichrist years ago. When speaking to his cult, he exalts himself constantly. He easily brainwashes, his weak-minded followers who became convinced that Donald Trump is the Messiah: greater than Mohammad or Jesus Christ. TRUMP TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS THAT HE IS GREATER THAN JESUS CHRIST “‘Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.” Trump is a fake Christian. The pastor of the Church Trump claims to be his place of worship, revealed that Trump has never crossed its threshold. It is obvious that he never read the bible, and definitely not the New Testa...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has finally accomplished something, but not for the American people. In just over one year, Trump and his family have increased their personal wealth by about $1.4 billion. Trump continues to violate the Emoluments Clause with the use of his position as your illegitimate president. This number is near the amount he profited between 2017 and 2021 of $1.7 billion. Trump has been licensing his name in multiple foreign nations. This is a direct violation of the Emoluments Clause and punishable by impeachment for a record third time. The orange buffoon has finally learned something about pretending to be your president: how to commit more crimes he hoped no one would discover. 47 WAYS TRUMP HAS MADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MOST AMERICANS WORSE I won’t list them all: you can read them in the article I will refer at the end of my own. However, while Trump is stuffing his Gucci wallet with more illegal funds, most Americans are struggling more than ever before in ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Is Trump mentally ill? That is a huge understatement. Everything he says, everything he does, makes no sense. He is wasting billions, and possibly trillions of dollars waging wars, destroying national treasures and rebuilding them into what appear to be massage parlors and brothels: places Trump is obviously more familiar with. TRUMP’S CONTROVERSIAL 2024 VICTORY WAS ACHIEVED WITH LIES AND MISDIRECTION Trump attempted to make the 2024 election all about the economy. We now know that this was another attempt to gaslight the American people. It is a fact that America’s voting public is the least informed in the world, and therefore his tactics were successful, if the election was fair. Evidence proves it was not. However, millions of gullible Americans believed Trump’s promises: to end the invasion of Ukraine on day one; to end inflation/Greedflation on day one; to prevent another war on foreign soil; and to reduce the national debt. How’s he doing? Stop laughing. ...

39  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart        The numbers I am going to give you may sound ludicrous and unbelievable. However, I want you to understand that they come from the GAO and other federal accounting offices. You may think that when I talk about “taxpayer money,” I am referring to income tax. This is far from the truth. We all pay federal taxes on gasoline, tobacco, alcohol, and airline tickets. These are known as excise taxes. Trump is using your money for his personal benefit while destroying our nation’s floundering economy. 3 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY The national debt has been rising steadily under Trump’s failed fiscal policy. It was about 36 trillion dollars in January of 2025, and is now nearing 39 trillion. It is also interesting that over that same period of time, the number of oligarchs in America has risen from 902 to 989. I ask: has your income increased dramatically over that time? Accounting for Greedflation and the effects of Trump’...

Op-ed-by TheWiseOldFart The Emoluments Clause is an effort to prevent a sitting President of the United States from profiting from his or her position financially. It is primarily focused on the man in the White House doing business with foreign nations and giving their leaders access to our nation’s pretender-in-chief. Trump violates this clause every day, as he did between 2017 and 2021. During his first four years as your illegitimate president, he made a profit of 1.7 billion dollars. FOR TRUMP, IT’S ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY In 2026, he has a new scam. [Washington, D.C. (November 25, 2025)—Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released a new staff report revealing how President Donald Trump and his family have transformed the presidency into a personal money-making operation, adding billions of dollars to his net worth through cryptocurrency schemes entangled with foreign governments, corporate allies, and criminal actors.] Are you surprised? Trump is ac...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart According to the pastor of a church Trump claims to be his own place of worship, the orange buffoon has never once crossed its threshold. As the people of America and the world have learned over the last 10+ years, every action Trump takes is in direct opposition to the teachings of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Posts on his personal propaganda machine, Truth Social, prove that he is indeed the Antichrist revealed in the books of John. It was announced a few days ago that other fake Christians will post readings from the Bible over the next week to 10 days from cover to cover. Trump will submit a reading from the Old Testament. For obvious reasons, he refuses to read any passages from the New Testament. It is no secret that the Old Testament is compiled from legend and fairy tales without any iota of proof. ALL PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS ARE BAD, SOME ARE JUST PURE EVIL I love satire, it makes me laugh. My favorite satirist is a writer by the name of Amb rose...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From the time statistics were kept, the percentage of attempted voter fraud is .012 percent. With very few exceptions, all of these efforts were stopped before the votes were counted. After the historic results of the 2020 election were posted, Trump’s own Election Czar, Chris Korebs, told the press: “the 2020 election was the safest and most secure election in history.” Trump immediately fired him for telling the truth. After an investigation into the 2024 election, it is clear that voting by mail is much safer than voting on machines located in polling facilities across America. At least two or our nation’s most credible cyber security agencies claimed that Russian hackers accessed the voting machines in all seven swing states in the 2024 election, and once again Trump’s victory was illegitimate, rigged by Vladimir Putin. THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP’S EFFORT TO CEASE VOTING BY MAIL A fact your government and the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know is that when...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Joe Lombardo is the current Governor of Nevada. He is unfit for office and another Trump sycophant. He is up for reelection in November and has been placing expensive and fallacious ads on television, paid for by Trump’s oligarchs. He lied about his “accomplishments” in healthcare and reducing the cost of single family homes and apartment rentals. He is now doing the same about education in the Silver State. NEVADA HAS SOME OF THE WORST SCHOOLS IN THE NATION Fact: “Nevada ranks as the second least educated state in America.” Most jobs in Nevada are minimum wage or slightly higher, and those jobs do not require more than a high school diploma. Education has seldom been a priority for most of our state’s leaders. It is no secret that Las Vegas is our most populated city. It is also no secret that the University of Nevada at Las Vegas is one of the most poorly rated institutions of higher learning in the nation. The University of Nevada-Reno is a more respected ins...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Last Monday, a poll revealed that Trump’s approval rating dropped to 36 percent; the lowest for a second term president in modern history. As Trump’s War against Iran continues, and gas prices escalate, his very low numbers are expected to continue on a downward spiral. WHAT HAS TRUMP ACCOMPLISHED? All politicians make promises they know they’ll never keep. However, when the promises come from the man or woman the states choose to lead our nation, we pay attention. Trump promised to end inflation, more accurately known as “Greedflation,” on day one. He also promised to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine immediately, During his many hate rallies, he promised to end military conflicts around the world and prevent America from becoming involved in another unwinnable war. In January 2025, Trump and his campaign financier, Elon Musk, began taking revenge on anyone who disagreed with the orange buffoon’s fascist plans for America. Thousands of men and women who actually...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like his Fuhrer, Nevada Governor, Joe Lombardo, has accomplished nothing for the people of his state, while lies, claiming successes which are in reality revelations of his support for millionaires and billionaires. Last year, Lombardo approved ads placed by real estate developers falsely claiming that with the increase in availability of new homes and apartments, housing costs and rental rates would be reduced. Less than 50 percent of all Nevadans can afford a new home. A large number of newly constructed single family homes are purchased by corporations who will overcharge their renters and make huge profits. Like the rest of America, in Nevada, it’s all about profits for the super-rich. [Many Nevadans cannot comfortably afford apartment rents, with the state ranking as the second most rent-burdened in the U.S.. In 2024, nearly 58% of Nevada renter households were cost-burdened (spending >30% of income on housing), and a minimum wage worker cannot afford th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I wrote my first article about the harm a Trump presidency would cause the American people in 2015, the first thing I learned about the orange buffoon was how poorly educated he was. The second was a revelation that he had a very low level of intelligence. I also had suspicions about his mental acuity, which were soon confirmed. Early in 2017 dozens of reputable psychiatrists offered their joint opinion that Trump was afflicted with Malignant Narcissism. When he was awarded the presidency in 2016, his first actions surpassed my greatest fears. No one could have imagined the level of destruction one man could create. However, one year into his second illegitimate presidency, he more than tripled the damage done to our nation during his first four years. Prior to his huge loss in the 2020 election, Trump and his puppet, Moscow Mitch McConnell, destroyed the credibility of the Supreme Court. They added three unqualified justices who promised to support the pol...
