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 ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It happens more often than you might think. Everyone experiences situations which fail to offer a definitive solution. However, in every situation the only truly bad decision is no decision. Therefore, we theoretically flip a coin, asking ourselves, “what’s the worst that could happen?” I am convinced that this is what happened in the 2024 election. Very few voters knew Kamala Harris as I knew her, and if they watched Fox “Fake” News, they were conned into believing that Trump was not the worst man in the world, When millions of uninformed voters went to the polls, they asked themselves: “how bad can he be?” Now they know that the disaster known as Donald John Trump is the worst thing to ever happen to America. His first illegitimate presidency was a disaster. His second is a catastrophe. I continue to find it unbelievable that a convicted felon, a man who committed treason on January 6, 2021, and violated the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021 is defiling the Wh...

  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 loves to pardon men and women who committed crimes against the people and the Constitution. Fascist dictators only support the worst of the worst, because they are the worst of the worst. Unfortunately, America’s judicial system is, (no other way to put it), fucked up. When Trump was allowed to pardon more than 1,500 traitors who violently attempted a coup, planned, organized, and executed by Fuhrer Donald John Trump, it was clear that America is a lawless nation. Judges, law enforcement, our elected officials, and virtually anyone with power over us are undeserving of our respect and trust. Trump is a Mafia Don. He is in complete control of today’s fake Republican Party. They are not allowed free thought, or dissent, and are required to mimic and praise their Fuhrer. If this appears familiar, learn a little history, most importantly Nazi Germany in the 1930’s. Hitler was not known as a “Don,” his title was “Fuhrer.” Unlike his predecessors, every man and woman Trump pardoned was...

If you saw a recording of Trump’s explanation for placing a 90 day pause on his moronic tariffs, I hope you had as great a laugh as I did. First, he was definitely lying. However, his explanation, although it was a lie, was so convoluted and moronic, I was forced to reevaluate my opinion about his intellect. It is clear that your illegitimate president, Dumbass Trump, is dumber than a bag of rocks. Or maybe not. The stock market crash was followed by a record surge when on Wednesday Trump announced a 90-day delay in the implementation of his tariffs, with the exception of China. Anyone who purchased stocks at their lowest point made billions when Trump placed a moratorium on his tariffs. Is this fraud? Is this stock price manipulation. Trump and his oligarchs must be fully investigated, but will it happen? America has become a nation without laws for the rich and powerful. Was the tariff situation a ‘smokescreen,’ and if so, will an obvious act of insider trading be ignored by the most...

Although Trump’s supporters will deny the truth, it is well-known that Trump’s history is composed of criminal actions, many of them involving sexual harassment. His business practices involved tax fraud, bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors for work on his properties. Without bailouts from Vladimir Putin, his oligarchs, and the Saudi Royal Family, Trump would have been penniless decades prior to the 2016 election. However, when he was illegitimately elected in 2016, the seriousness of his crimes rose to frightening levels. His first Constitutional violation continued throughout his failed and illegitimate presidency. He violated the Emoluments clause every day and no one stepped in to stop him, The mainstream media failed to do their job and expose him. Billionaires and millionaires protect each other. The first notable and public violation of the Law of the Land involved efforts to bribe the President of Ukraine. He held aid for the democratic nation hostage in e...

I am not a religious man. However, I try every day to be more spiritual. Although I reject religions created by men, I cherish and trust the teachings of Jesus Christ and Mohammad. If you read the New Testament of the Bible or the Quran, Jesus and Mohammad offered a clear and perfect way to live our lives. Whether they were Gods or Prophets, does not matter. The basic principle both of these great men taught their followers was simple, and contained in only five words: “always do the right thing.” It is a sad fact that very few men and women who call themselves “Christians” believe and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is sad that many of the men who call themselves Muslims take the words of Mohammad and twist them, becoming violent extremists; ignoring his instructions about love, understanding, and compassion. America has an illegitimate president in 2025. He claims to be a Christian, but in truth is the Antichrist. His words, actions, and ambitions are in direct opposition to...

It’s “déjà vu all over again.” What Trump has done to our nation in just three days is far worse than his initial actions in 2017. He has undone many of the positive accomplishments of real presidents Obama and Biden. All of his actions support the current plutocracy and his 756 oligarchs. There is no doubt that his decision to pardon the traitors who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 is an act of pure fascism and revenge. Trump is not concerned about the brave capitol police who lost their lives or the more than 150 who were injured. These Neo-Nazis were tried for their crimes in a court of law and deserved to be punished more severely than they were. Treason is the most egregious crime possible in America. He is not interested in the fact that trying these men and women who hate my America cost taxpayers millions of dollars and law enforcement thousands of hours. More than 1500 anti-Americans who sought to overthrow our democratic government are back among those of us ...

21 days from today, America will experience another first. An old, obese, mentally unstable, white man who is not a patriotic American, but is a convicted felon, and a confirmed sexual predator, who committed treason and violated the Espionage Act will become our nation’s 47 th  president. I am not a proud American today, and I will be ashamed on January 20, 2025. What I will remember most about this unbelievable situation is how our nation lost its most important branch of government on October 27, 2020, when the last of three politically biased Supreme Court Justices was sworn in. I will remember how another traitor to the Constitution, Moscow Mitch McConnell, broke his own rule and stacked the Court in favor of right-wing extremism. Among this Court’s ethical violations was declaring that a president was above the law and immune from prosecution, regardless of the severity of his or her crimes. America is now a nation without laws for every citizen. The term “two Americas” has a...

Today completes one week since one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. I find it strange that in just nine years my list of the darkest days in American history has drastically changed. Prior to Trump’s intrusion into our nation’s politics, my personal list of the most horrific days in our nation’s 248 years began with three unforgettable and unforgettable events: 9/11, December 7, 1941, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. In the 21 st century, I believe there are other tragic events which threatened our nation’s future from within. Events within our own country, committed by our own leaders, with the assistance of leaders from other nations, could eventually erase the dreams of our Founding Fathers. On January 6, 2021, a sitting president organized, planned, and executed a failed, violent coup after losing badly in his bid for reelection. The truth is, this terrible day could have been stopped before it began if our government and our military had ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “Republicans” in Louisiana passed a law last week which will surely be voided by the Supreme Court for one reason, It clearly and literally violates the First Amendment. Placing a poster of the ten commandments in every classroom is not stupid, it is moronic. I was initially undecided. I wasn’t sure if Trump would be angry, because they would remind voters of his many crimes. Later I realized that the malignant narcissist would love it because they remind him of some of the best times of his life; before he agreed to run for the presidency. Read all ten and think of Trump as you do. You shall have no other Gods before me You shall not make for yourselves an idol You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy Honor your father and your mother You shall not murder You shall not commit adultery You shall not steal You shall not give false testimony You shall not covet LET’S BEGIN AT T...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is the first man to “accomplish” several things in America’s nearly 248 years. Hopefully, no one will be the second person to constantly violate the Constitution and embarrass our nation. Trump was the first person in his party to seek the Republican Party’s presidential nomination without experience in any form of government and no verifiable proof that he ever worked in any profession for a single day in 77 years. He was also the first alleged draft dodger to believe he could gain the support of right-wing voters who generally favor war over peace. Trump was the first presidential candidate to win a major party’s nomination without taking a position on a single issue. Trump won by lying to voters, and hurling personal attacks against his rivals. He failed to receive the support of 90 percent of his party’s leaders. THE ILLEGITIMATE ELECTION OF 2016 Trump was losing in the polls prior to November 8, 2016. However, our government received verified informat...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I won’t offer you bullshit: I will only tell the truth which the cowardly main stream media refuses to do. Trump violated the Espionage act three times.   On January 20, 2021, Trump stole 14 boxes of classified documents as he was bei ng evicted from the White House. There is no dispute about this fact.   When the National Archives realized they were missing, and had been taken from the White House illegally , they demanded the return of all 14 boxes. Although America’s greatest traitor claimed that he returned them all, an inventory of the items r eceived, revealed that only a part of them had been returned. Espionage Act violation number one.   On August 8, 2020, the FBI executed a search warrant for the missing documents inside Trump’s current residence, his Mar-a-Lag o resort for millionaires and billionaires only.   Hidden in Trump’s bedroom, bathroom, storage areas accessible to both employees and guests, the FBI discovered m...
