Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every morning I read the news. This morning I felt like our corrupt government was blowing smoke up my ass. Then I realized, that was what I felt yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. Like their fascist, illegitimate president, our government continues to lie to the American people, mostly by hiding the truth. I read a lot, and I know the truth. When our government attempts to protect Trump and themselves from exposure related to their failure to perform the jobs for which they were elected, they must be subject to close scrutiny and investigations for displays of cowardice, hypocrisy, and corruption. Then, they must be forced to leave Washington by your vote. It was during the George W. Bush administration when the unconstitutional Patriot Act and ICE were created. The Patriot Act violates the fourth and 14 th amendments. ICE has become a gang of thugs and Trump’s personal gestapo. This is the truth. I’m truly sorry you will never hear o...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The wind has a voice. Just as mankind’s voice comes from the force of his own wind, his breath, the wind consoles us or warns us about what is coming. Out here, in the west, summers are mostly pleasant. On days when the heat becomes unbearable, cool breezes frequently arise in the afternoons promising that a good night’s sleep lies ahead. Winter storms are preceded by cold winds letting everyone know that a new season is coming. Lightning and thunder in late spring and early summer are announced by strong gusts of wind. In the middle of our nation, the most powerful winds imaginable often leave great destruction in their path. However, before the tornado becomes life-threatening, the wind becomes silent; warning everyone in its path that an unstoppable force is coming. On our east coast and the Gulf of Mexico, before hurricanes invade our shores and inland areas with devastating winds and torrential rain, the wind begins slowly as the heart of the ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What happened in Alaska was a farce and an embarrassment for all loyal Americans. It began with the military of the United States rolling out a red carpet for our country’s greatest enemy. Next came the illegitimate president/dictator of America displaying his fealty and devotion to the only man in the world who is worse than himself. The event was labeled as an effort to end the invasion of Ukraine. This in itself was another lie: a diversion. After three and one-half hours, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump stood before the television cameras and told the world that they accomplished nothing. However, that was not the truth. Putin told Trump what he wanted, no, demanded, and the rest of their private meeting was focused on completing their plans for the destruction of the American way of life. On Monday, Trump will meet with Ukraine President Zelenskyy in the White House. This meeting is also mislabeled. It will not be a meeting to discuss a negotiation between ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One thing all real Americans can agree on: Trump 2.0 is 100 times worse than he was between 2017 and 2021. Hopefully, two of the greatest disasters in our nation, Covid-19, and the attempted coup on January 6, will not be repeated. However, what he is doing every day, violating the First, Fourth, and 14 th Amendments, removing healthcare from tens of millions of Americans, and destroying the world’s free market economy, will have long-lasting effects. At the center of every crime he commits is vengeance. This childish effort by the schoolyard bully is proof that what was once a very low level of intelligence is now virtually defunct. His dementia is growing day by day. Some uninformed voters are disappointed that he failed to keep promises, promises which were at the forefront of encouraging “television voters” to surrender to the orange buffoon their precious votes. Trump promised to end inflation, which is actually “Greedflation,” intentionally caused by his ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart According to friends of Trump’s first, and now deceased wife, Ivana, Donald Trump habitually read Adolph Hitler’s speeches in 1930’s Germany before falling asleep every night. Beginning in June of 2015, we all watched him follow Hitler’s playbook, Mein Kampf, during his infamous hate rallies. He began with the use of the weakness of all humans: emotions. Emotions negate and replace free and intelligent thought. Trump’s long and repetitive speeches were focused on fear, anger, and hatred, while he intimated his approval of violent action in his name. He constantly told lies which anyone with common sense would immediately reject. However, Hitler believed and proved that any lie told often enough will eventually be accepted as an “alternative fact” by weak-minded and uninformed men and women. The perfect example is his “big lie” about the 2020 election results. Trump immediately began to attack legitimate journalists, calling them “fake...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’m pretty sure that Trump hates everyone, including a number of his oligarchs. The old man in the White House confirms this assumption through his own words and actions. Trump is a ‘humanoid,’ there is no joy when he’s around. However, he gets his enjoyment in life by ensuring those he hates are punished and experience pain and anguish. It is no secret that Trump is a racist, a bigot, and a misogynist, but why does he hate homeless people? A considerable number of America’s homeless population are veterans. The fastest growing number of Americans without a permanent home are children. Today, August 12, 2025, Trump is imposing a form of martial law on the people of Washington D.C. There is no legitimate reason for this illegal and immoral action with the exception of Trump’s personal vendetta against anyone he despises. President Donald Trump vowed this week to rid Washington, D.C., of homeless encampments, issuing a warning that the "homeless have to move ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For my readers, I offer the absolute, undeniable, irrefutable truth: Every time a representative from the Pentagon or a professional politician avoids a direct answer to a question from a member of the legitimate press, and uses these words: “for reasons of national security,” he or she is covering up corruption or hiding something which would encourage the American people to lose trust in our military and/or the federal government. On this day, August 10, 2025, the complete truth about President Kennedy’s assassination, the events and failures which led up to the cowardly attacks on September 11, 2001, and the results of the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections remain a secret, hidden from anyone who is not a member of the worst and most incompetent government in the world. Younger Americans may choose ignorance over fact, hoping that our nation’s leaders are loyal Americans who care about the future of the United States of America. I am 79 years old, and I can...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump and Putin are planning to meet again, this time in Alaska. The fate of Ukraine will be decided but President Zelenskyy will not be invited. The reason is very clear. As he has since 1987, Trump will do whatever Putin tells him to do. He still pulls the fat man’s strings. We know one thing, the two fascists will “agree” to the surrender of the entire Donetsk region to Putin. I’m sure that this is just the beginning. One thing Putin will never possess. He claimed that his invasion would be over in a few weeks. Putin underestimated the capabilities of the leaders of Ukraine’s army, who were far more skilled than those of the second most powerful nation in the world. Since February of 2022, the number of Russian soldiers injured are estimated between 790,000 and 1,000,000. The death toll is estimated at more than 250,000. About 13,000 Russian tanks were disabled, and about 12,000 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed. !6,000 artillery systems were destroye...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There is an important historical point in America’s 249-year history which I hope will be recognized by everyone in the future. I call it the “Pre-Reagan Period.” Reagan not only moved our nation in a 180-degree turn, away from a progressive direction and into our darker past, he also encouraged dishonesty, refusal to work with their brothers and sisters across the aisle, and the end of transparency in government. There are few, very few in Washington today who have a genuine patriotic attitude and the courage to speak truth to power. One of these individuals is Jasmine Crockett. Ms. Crockett is a congresswoman from the state of Texas. Last Sunday, she made a speech to her supporters and held nothing back, unlike most of our nation’s cowardly politicians. She not only lambasted the worst president in history, she told the truth about six members of the Supreme Court who are directly responsible for Trump’s ability to destroy everything good about our nation. “We...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America needs a great leader now more than ever. Although John Fitzgerald Kennedy had his weaknesses, his actions as our nation’s 35 th President were nearly perfect. He displayed a willingness to do the right thing as he faced many challenges, never doing what was easy or politically correct. He was the last great president, and was taken from us far too soon on November 22, 1963. You may think that I have lost my mind, but the man closest to becoming great was a man whose ambitions resulted in criminal actions which made people forget his many accomplishments. His name was Richard Millhouse Nixon. America is facing great danger and possibly extinction in 2025. Ours is a nation in both chaos and crisis, and to deny this fact is to choose ignorance over reality. Throughout my life I have been fascinated by the efforts of professional politicians to place every situation in black or white. Their use of antonyms is never ending. George W. Bush created “the Axis o...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am not afraid to tell the truth. Your illegitimate president, Donald John Trump is a sexual predator, a lifetime criminal, a traitor, a malignant narcissist, and to sum it up, a Nazi. These are the nicest things I could say about the worst man in the world. Unfortunately, most Democrats and every organization which is part of the mainstream media, carefully step around the truth, offering the American people a less than complete description of the facts. The situation our nation is in today began in Moscow in 2013. Trump used the Miss Universe Pageant as an excuse to visit the Russian capital. The events which took place during those few days involved interaction between Trump and Vladimir Putin were documented by former MI-6 agent Christopher Steele. Not a single word of his dossier has been proven false. The primary conclusion was that Putin and Trump conspired to win the 2016 presidential election. This is the first fact unreported by the media, and ignored...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I say it again: if Trump’s piehole is open, he’s lying. He has never once in 79 years told the truth about anything. Today he is attempting to cover up his efforts to serve his 813 oligarchs with huge lies no one with common sense will believe. After Trump’s ill-advised tariffs begin to take effect, Trump’s administration released a press release. "WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN AGE," the White House wrote in a post on X, along with an image of Dear Leader pumping his fist. "Thanks to the leadership of @POTUS, the U.S. has generated over $150B in tariff revenues within the past 6 months." Let’s break this down with some facts; reality about how tariffs will harm 340 million people while benefitting Trump and his 813 oligarchs. I begin with the obvious: the “golden age” is in our past. America is led by a regressive, old man and his fascist minions who are moving our nation into the “dark ages.” We, the people, will continue to suffer from the failures...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before I begin, the truth. If hell freezes over, and President Obama was convicted of a crime related to the 2016 election, Trump’s Supreme Court has already given him immunity, although they intended their actions to exclusively benefit Trump. Okay, the facts. History proves that Barack Hussein Obama was not only the first Black President, he was the only President in modern history not to be accused of criminal actions, not investigated for an alleged scandal. Trump began his first full day in office in 2017 under investigation for multiple crimes against the American people and Constitutional violations. I’m not claiming that Obama was a perfect, or even a ‘great’ president, but he had my respect if not my trust. My complaints about him involve his lack of courage. There were several times when he could have informed the American people about corruption on the right side of aisle. However, he placed his party first, not the people of our country. One of those...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Proving once more that Trump is a pathological liar, he created another unnecessary government agency and called it the “Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE.” He claimed that it was his plan to reduce the national debt by more than two trillion dollars. He lied. It was an effort to take vengeance on men and women who are not loyal to his fascist plans for America’s future. The truth is undeniable. America’s 40 th , 41 st , 43 rd , and 45 th presidents, all Republicans, are the reason the deficit has grown to more than 36 trillion dollars. This is what it looks like: $36,000,000,000,000. The largest villains are George W. Bush and Donald John Trump. This is one of the reasons I consider them the worst presidents in history. Bush failed to protect our nation and 9/11 happened. His failed fiscal policy, and engaging our nation in two unwinnable wars with lies and deception caused the Great Reception. In just four years, between 2017 and 2021, Trump increased...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFartT  

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America is a nation without laws which are fair and just. The Department of Justice and the Attorney General are no longer independent from the Executive Branch and serve their Fuhrer, not the 340 million people who are the United States of America. When Trump was allowed to become America’s 45 th president on January 20, 2017, I knew something wasn’t right. The greatest failure and least qualified man in history could not have defeated the most qualified presidential candidate in history. When we were allowed to know that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump, everything began to make sense. Months later, when I learned that a meeting was held in the Oval Office between Obama, Biden, the leaders of both political parties, and the heads of every security agency in America, and the purpose was to confirm Putin’s deep involvement, I became angry. My anger turned into rage when I discovered that the meeting took place one month befor...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s much easier to ‘rig’ an election than you might think. In a world which continues to experience advances in technology at supersonic speed, the best men and women in this field are the true leaders of a military force which has the ability to dominate the entire planet. I believe that Vladimir Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine is a smokescreen. It is no secret that Russian hackers are the best in the world. “I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.”-Albert Einstein In the 21 st century, the world has changed but it cannot move as quickly as the advances in electronics and technology. I sincerely believe that WWIII has begun and the most frightening and powerful weapons are the minds of a select group of computer geniuses. Months after the 2016 election, our government finally admitted that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump. However, our leaders lied ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After respected tech companies agreed with my allegation that the 2024 election was rigged by Putin, again, I no longer have a single doubt that Trump is once again an illegitimate president. I also believe that once again our government was aware that Putin would spend millions of dollars to influence the results. My question began with the “experts” claiming that Trump won all seven swing states. Impossible. The tech companies claim that Russian hackers gained access to the voting machines in all seven states. Most importantly, four years of watching Trump commit crimes could not have resulted in such extremes between the 2020 and 2024 elections. One issue has never been discussed on the internet, or as far as I know on the television news. Was sex once again an issue in the 2024 election as it was in 2016? It is no secret that the United States is the most prejudiced and bigoted country in the world of developed nations. These are the two reasons why America ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 249 years ago today, July 4, 1776, our Founding Fathers declared their independence from the country of their birth, England. King George III considered this an act of civil disobedience. We all know what it really was, an act of courage, and a revolt against a powerful and ruthless despot. It required great courage to have faith that the people of the new nation wanted their freedom as much as they did. They rightfully believed that the majority of men and women now living in a new world, a new nation, wanted the same things, freedom from and of religion, freedom of thought, freedom of choice, complete equality, a government which works for people, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, and protects and encourages open and honest dissent. The rest is literally history. A band of farmers, hunters, merchants, and tradesmen defeated the largest and greatest army in the world because freedom, and individual rights were worth dying for. Sa...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I joined the 2010 Decennial Census, I took an oath. I administered that same oath to dozens of men and women over the next couple of years. I took it seriously, and I demanded that those who recited the words I asked them to repeat did the same. If a census worker violates that oath, he or she faces a maximum fine of $250,000 and a prison term of five years. The members of all three branches of our government take an oath of office, similar, but slightly different, according to their positions. However, when they violate their oaths, nothing happens, with the possible exception of winning reelection. The oath of office taken by every justice on the Supreme Court. "I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of...
