  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Once known as the “Fourth Estate,” Americans trusted the Mainstream Media to protect us from the lies and corruption in Washington. However, today the MSM is in collusion with politicians and fail to report the full truth about any situation related to our federal government. Recently, I read several articles claiming that Harris/Walz did not receive a “bump” in the polls after the Democratic National Convention. If you listened to Ms. Harris’ acceptance speech, you would find this hard to believe. A little research confirms that there was a significant “bump” in the polls favoring the Harris/Walz campaign. However, the MSM benefits from a close election in the form of advertising revenue. I must point to an important fact. Ignore the polls and vote. Hillary Clinton lost the Electoral College in 2016 by less than 80,000 total votes in three states where the voter turnout was much lower than expected. We must show strong support for Kamala Harris with...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The headlines are all about the President resigning from his reelection bid. Why? His accomplishments are beneficial for everyone. The truth is, he has accomplished more than any president since Bill Clinton. The mainstream media is lying to us. I wrote hundreds of articles during the 2016 campaign. It is an undeniable fact that all media gave Trump five times more coverage than all other candidates combined. In 2024, every legitimate media outlet continues to publish negative stories about the President, while giving a free pass to the greatest criminal in American history. Bias is not inaccurate but does not fairly describe the failure of the former fourth estate. Fact: all “news” services are operated by billionaires. Fact: all on-air personalities on broadcast news are paid millions of dollars each year. Fact: If elected, Trump will once again give tax cuts to our nation’s nearly five-and-one-half million, millionaires, and 813 billionaires. The latter numbe...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Liz Cheney released her memoir. In it she accurately describes the dangers posed to our nation by Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans. I just read an article on “The Daily Kos.” It is written by Will Cambridge, and the title is: “Why Does it Take Liz Cheney to Say What Biden and All Democrats Should Be Saying?” The former Representative from Wyoming, and daughter of a vice-president, Ms. Cheney offered a legitimate description of Trump, calling him a “wannabe dictator,” and a “fascist.” She claims that a Trump victory in 2024 would be the end of the United States of America, and added: “A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in," she warned. The entire book is an accurate evaluation of what has happened to the former “Party of Lincoln,” and how Trump has become the greatest danger to America’s existence. The real question is “why haven’t Democrats offered these truths before?” Why did they allow Trump to go unpunish...
