Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s ignorant supporters would claim that my title is a lie. If you call ethnic cleansing, political retribution, destroying critical agencies, giving tax cuts to those who don’t need or deserve them, golfing, partying at Mar-a-Lago, and spending more than 10 million dollars of taxpayer money to open a golf club in Scotland, then yes, he is very busy spending your money for his own purposes. Let’s go back in time. In his first week in office in 2009, Barack Obama gathered the greatest minds available and make plans to save our nation’s economy from complete collapse. George W. Bush’s failed economic policies and his choices to place our nation in two costly and unwinnable wars were disastrous and totally incompetent decisions. In January of 2021, after Trump’s coup failed, and he violated the Espionage Act by stealing at least 14 boxes of national secrets as he finally left the White House and moved to Mar-a-Lago, a real President met with his team and create...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you are 40 years old or under, you’ve probably never heard this old saying: “birds of a feather, flock together.” It’s ancient by modern standards, but it remains true in the 21 st century. It simply means that people who share the same beliefs support each other. This is one of those situations. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT ANY TRULY RELIGIOUS PERSON COULD SUPPORT “TRUMPENSTEIN” Think about this: after four years of a failed presidency, indictments for 91 felonies, confirmation that he is a sexual predator, learning that he supports a godless and racist political ideology, fascism, and admission by his own words that if he is reelected, he will escalate his message of anger and hatred for anyone who is not loyal to him, Evangelical leaders continue to support Donald Trump. The explanation for this atrocity is found in a recent exposure of one of Trump’s most adamant supporters. Robert Morris is now the pastor at a Texas megachurch. He pretended to ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After reading comments made by several politicians this week, including the gibberish from Trump, I am convinced that one of the prime attributes needed to become a professional politician is abject stupidity. Much has been made of South Dakota,s big mistake, Kristi Noem, and it is definitely justified. Bragging about killing a puppy, a goat, and three horses is ludicrous. Just as brazen and dishonest is claiming to have met a world leader you never came in contact with. However, since 2015 I have read many moronic statements than I ever believed possible. Take a look at these quotes. All of them took place in the month of December, 2015. Each of them came from a man or woman calling themselves a “Republican.” LIKE THEIR FUHRER, THEY MAKE NO SENSE "When a physician removes a child from a woman, that is the largest organ in a body. That's a big thing. That's a big surgery. You don't have any other organs in your body that are bigger t...
