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...
