  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Matt Gaetz, Republican Representative from Florida, (where else), is a member of the fascist leaning Freedom Caucus, and therefore another Trump ass kisser. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of room for everyone on his humongous derriere. For anyone who is not paying attention, the House of Representatives is a joke. Thanks to the TEA Party and the Freedom Caucus it is the reason our legislative branch is completely dysfunctional, and until these traitors to the American people are removed, our government will remain broken. In January of 2023, the late-night comics had a great time creating jokes about then wannabe Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. Throughout our nation’s history it has never taken more than one vote to select a speaker. However, because those who call themselves Republicans are pretenders, and incapable of governing our country, McCarthy was elected, but only after 15 votes. He was forced to make “deals” with the Freedom Caucus to win th

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Let’s look back at the time period in America from June of 2015 and today, October, 2023. I find it both frightening and unbelievable. This is not my country. It is definitely not the nation created by our Founding Fathers. Between June of 2015 and today, our system of government has failed. Political parties have become more important than a nation of 330 million people. Doing the right thing is seldom a reality.

These are all major crimes committed by ambitious men who are unfit for any position in the three branches of government. In June of 2015, Donald John Trump and his trophy wife, Melania, rode down escalators inside Trump Tower. He move

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   “Convict Hunter Biden of Anything.” “Impeach Joe Biden without a legitimate reason.” “Protect Trump even if he is convicted of treason.” “End democracy and create a fascist state.” These are the goals of today’s fake Republican Party. McCarthy is owned by the Freedom Caucus, a group so far to the right it can only be labeled as fascist. Unlike Trump, who was impeached twice for violating the Constitution, Biden has done nothing wrong. Quite the opposite, he saved our nation from additional damage from the Covid-19 disaster created by Trump. He also saved an economy which was moving closer to a depression, while saving millions of jobs. He signed an infrastructure bill which was decades overdo which will help to repair roads, bridges, schools, and decaying government buildings. And America is once again a supporter of the Paris Accord which will aid in the lessening of climate change. However, the failed men and women who call themselves “Republican
