I am a pacifist, although in today’s America, it’s very hard to keep vile and destructive emotions subdued. I am fully aware that violence is never the answer. No war has ever been “won,” and no disagreement is ever resolved with a fist. Leaders must lead by actions, by example. Words are simply breaths making a sound as they exit the mouth. They mean nothing. In 2025, America’s “pseudo-leader” is an old, obese, brainless, and spoiled man-child. He is nothing more than a schoolyard bully. Every word coming out of his piehole is composed of anger, hatred, and the incitement of violent actions in his name. On Thursday, while speaking in Utah, a right-wing extremist Trump supporter was murdered by a lone shooter. This heinous act is unforgivable. The truth is irrefutable and the reason for a huge increase in hate crimes and other forms of violence must be placed on the narrow shoulders of one old man who suffers from a lifelong ailment known as malignant narcissism.

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most of you know that on November 9, 2016, I promised myself to never watch television news again, and to fact check every article I read. I have kept that promise.

As a political writer, I understand the importance of titles to get the attention of readers. However, legitimate journalists continue their refusal to do the right thing and use words which are definitive and their meaning undeniable when writing about the worst president in history. Not once in November or December 2020 did I read a headline which told the absolute truth. Not a single legitimate publication had the courage to say, “Trump Lies to the American People,” or “Trump was Badly Beaten in the 2020 Election, and He Knows It,” ...

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...
