Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I know, and I hope you know how important this election is. Because Trump’s party refuses to do the right thing and remove the orange buffoon from the White House by invoking the 25 th Amendment, we, true Americans, can remove his power on November 3rd. If Democrats and Independents regain control of the House and Senate, sanity will return to Washington. Trump is on his desperation tour, focused primarily on supporting his sycophants in red states. There have been empty seats everywhere, and in Texas your illegitimate president was heckled constantly. This brings me to one, important question: “do Trump’s ‘people’ care about this election?” It seems that Trump’s cult is losing its interest in the leader of our nation’s Neo-Nazi movement. 2020 WAS HISTORICAL: WILL 2026 EXPERIENCE A RECORD TURNOUT? Midterm elections usually record a lower voter turnout than general elections. This is somewhat understandable; we are not choosing a president. However, all 435 seat...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 29 percent. I cannot remember when a sitting president’s approval rating dropped into the 20’s. It’s just another first for the orange buffoon. In the despicable world of criminals and Trump says he is planning to spend the next month campaigning for “Republicans” in red states. I’m sure that Democrats will appreciate the assist. Republican strategist, Mike Fragoso, posted the following on X. “What I have heard from professionals explaining why we have so many competitive races in red states boils down to R voters thinking of the president’s antics, ‘it’s not funny anymore,’” he wrote on X. “They’re hurting financially due to seemingly capricious actions in the WH while he focuses on memes, arches, and revenge. That the bleeding is in red states means it’s troubling but also solvable.” Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., speaks to reporters at the U.S. Capitol, Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, in Washington. “You see, it was funny when President Donald Trump was trolling the li...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am in a good mood today. The men and women on the right side of the aisle who call themselves “Republicans,” have a serious problem, a conundrum. If they continue to support Trump’s destructive and unconstitutional policies, they will lose the one thing most important to them: winning elections.   With his approval rating in the 20’s, Trump has become an albatross. He announced yesterday that he would be campaigning for members of his party who are in close contests in November. But they don’t want him. Trump is the most hated public figure in modern history. He’s worked hard to earn that label. FAILED POLICIES, AND VERY BAD CHOICES Trump has been following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025, since January 20, 2025. Fascism is not popular among real Americans, and his economic policy is causing enormous harm to the working class, whose quality of life is in steep decline. It is highly likely that his illegal and immoral war against Iran was the fatal ...
