All Politicians are cowards, regardless of their party affiliation. They are more afraid of what might happen if they did the right thing than violating their oaths of office. Losing an election would force them to find a real job. Their license to steal from the American people would be revoked. Not a single professional politician spends more than 100 days each year working for the people. Most of their time is spent fund raising and lying to their constituents. Since Trump was gifted the Electoral College in 2016, the government of the United States has become the most corrupt and most incompetent in the world. Fewer bills have become law over the last nine years than during any other period in American history. Our Founding Fathers were “eternal optimists.” They were naïve and believed that their successors would possess the morals, principles, and integrity to improve upon their humble beginnings in 1789. However, they underestimated the frailty of humanity. The desires for great ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart To all my fellow Nevadans: Jacki Rosen has worked for our state’s people. Sam Brown is another Trump stooge, and the nephew of a billionaire who owns the Cleveland Browns. Therefore, he supports Project 2025. All of his television ads are bullshit. James Turnage    

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Let's look at what happened in America since 2017, and the truth about the darkest day in Ame rican history, January 6, 2021.   First, let me tell you about how time is the greatest teacher of all . As I moved from childhood and became a young adult, I realized that I had been a child of white privilege . Therefore, I had always trusted law enforcement, the justice system , and our military leaders , virtually anyone older than me, or in a position of power.   Education is not entirely the result of schools and books. I know that experien ce is often of greater value than formal education.     I was sixteen in 1962 before I learned about the “two Americas.” This is not a phrase popular in 2024, but it remains a reality, l ike it or not. I left Parochial School in my junior year of high school . I enrolled in a public high school . I was now a student in an institution which had a diverse student body and offered additional free...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart His name is Lindsay Graham. There was a time in his life when he could have been remembered by history as a leader of the once respected Republican Party. Along with the man he claimed was his closest friend, Senator John McCain from Arizona, they exposed corruption and controversial actions on both sides of the aisle. However when Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer. Apparently, Graham lost his mind completely. He became a devotee of what has not only been established as the worst president in American history, but a man closely connected  with Vladimir Putin as the worst men in the world. Although the negatives about Trump continue to mount, Graham remains loyal to the Russian agent whose orders are to destroy the United States of America. HOW THE FORMER PARTY OF LINCOLN DEVOLVED INTO PUPPETS FOR A RUSSIAN AGENT No one, and I mean no one will offer the complete truth about the history between Trump and Putin. Trump likely relinquished his American ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A recent survey by the United Nations confirmed that 80 percent of the world’s people are concerned about climate change. The poll revealed that most people believe their countries are not doing enough to slow or halt the greatest threat to mankind. You might have noticed that America no longer leads the world in anything positive. Right-wing politicians are owned by our nation’s biggest polluters, including the oil industry, and businesses which continue to rely on oil and coal to operate their factories. Although some progress was made over eight years of the Obama administration, all of it, and more, was negated during just four years of the failed Trump administration. FOX News is complicit. It has supported the less than five percent of all climatologists who deny the irrefutable fact that climate change is caused by man’s use of products coming from carbon-based products mined from deep inside the earth. Fossil fuels are deadly to humans and to...
