Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you follow politics, and you should, you will most likely remember Paul Ryan for two reasons. When he agreed to be Mitt Romney’s running mate in 2012, he prevented Romney from embarrassment. He was certain to be crushed in the coming general election. Ryan, once considered as the hope of the GOP in the 21 st century, failed to impress voters, and President Obama easily won a second term. The second reason to remember the reluctant Speaker of the House is his opposition to Trump’s candidacy in 2016. He denounced the legitimacy of a Trump presidency, and became a member of the “anybody but Trump” club. However, after his inauguration, Ryan bowed to Trump’s every unconstitutional and destructive demand. WHERE IS RYAN NOW? Ryan resigned from congress, but did not leave politics. He is now a member of the Board of Directors for FOX “the real fake news” News. Ryan continues to attack Trump, not for what he has done to our nation’s future, his constant violations o...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From January 21, 2017, until today, I have witnessed at least one incident each day when a right-wing politician displays his or her preference for the end of democracy in America, and the institution of a fascist regime, with Trump as their Fuhrer. The latest happened last week when a split decision by the Kansas Supreme Court declared that the state’s Constitution does not guarantee the right to vote. [Justice Melissa Taylor Standridge called the decision troubling, with far-reaching implications, and that the ruling “defies history, law, and logic and is just plain wrong.”] [“For over 60 years, this interpretation of section 2 has been our precedent,” she wrote. “Without even a hint that it’s doing so, the majority overturns this precedent today.”] FROM THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND TO THE FIRST TERM LOCAL POLITICIAN, THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER ATTACK The right-wing is loyal to Donald Trump. It rejects the foundation for the existence if the United States, the...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Freedom Caucus, Moscow Mitch McConnell, and several right-wing Senators: these are some of our nation’s elected officials who are traitors to their nation and loyal to Trump and Putin, not to the American people. Trump is not real. What you see is a façade. He never was our country’s president. He never was a successful businessman. He is not an American. Donald John Trump is an opportunist: a con man who has become a cult leader, not unlike Jim Jones or David Koresh. The story of his life reveals a life of crime and immoral behavior not seen before other than in movies. LET’S RETURN TO THE 2016 CAMPAIGN: THE BEGINNING OF AMERICA’S DISGRACE AND SHAME The 2016 campaign season began very early. Ted Cruz, who had been a senator for only two years, with a single accomplishment, shutting down the government, announced his intention to win the Republican presidential nomination on March 23, 2015, at Liberty University. The University staff announced that attending...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here are some of the facts we know about Trump: he is a traitor, a career criminal, a sexual predator, the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement, a pathological liar, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a malignant narcissist, and if you count the number of lives he could have saved if he had not chosen to ignore the coronavirus, a murderer. Now for something nice about the man who worships Adolf Hiter. I tried, but I have studied his entire life, and I cannot find one positive or uplifting thing he has accomplished in nearly 78 years. Renaming an Airport? This is as Ridiculous as the Plan to Put His Orange Face on Mount Rushmore Members of Trump’s American Fascist Party in the House of Representatives voted to rename Washington D.C.’s Dulles International Airport after the worst, illegitimate president in American history. I can’t make this shit up. I would find this funny if there was anything humorous about right-wing politicians. Everyone on the right side of the aisl...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart They call themselves “conservatives,” but that’s far from the truth. Most of the professional politicians sitting on the right side of the aisle on Capitol Hill are in reality extremists. They have moved so far to the right they have embraced the beliefs of fascism, abandoning all support for a democratic society in America. Today’s fake Republicans made a decision to support Trump’s big lie about the 2020 election and will now do anything to help him in his reelection bid: and I mean anything. Definitely not the Party of Lincoln Although they know that their party’s leader is a traitor, a seditionist, and a lifetime sexual predator and overall criminal, they will remain loyal to the worst president in history. Those who claim to be members of the former Grand Old Party, are in fact men and women without morals, principles, integrity, and are most definitely not “Christians.” In 2024, the fight for the presidency is clearly between the forces of evil and debauch...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart    For more than two centuries the United States of America was the shining star for the world’s people. Human rights and individual freedom became a hope for all of the world’s people oppressed by authoritarian rule. However, this all changed between 2017 and 2021 when our nation’s illegitimate president began to destroy the very essence of America.   Russia Remains the Greatest Danger to America and the World   I am nearly 78 years of age. From the time I can remember, the Soviet Union, now simply Russia, has been America’s greatest enemy. Russia’s leaders have changed names until a couple of days ago when it became clea r that one man will be in control for the remainder of his life.    One name has remained in the public eye since the 1980’s: Vladimir Putin. He became a central figure in the KGB during that decade. His ambition was clear and remains so today.    Trump and Putin Will End the NATO Alliance   P...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Let me begin with a definition of what was considered the most grievous crime in our nation when I was young.   Treason: “ the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family.”   This could not be more clear . It defines any man or woman who commits an action or actions designed to destroy our nation’s current government as defined by the Constitution. It is explicit about how Trump violated his oath of office. He must be punished.   Why is Trump a Free Man?   Only the rich and powerful find themselves above the law. If any ordinary citizen attempted to overthrow our government or steal classified documents for personal gain, they would be in a federal detention facility awaiting trial. However, America has become a nation without laws. The rich and powerful are never fairly punished for their m...
