Fifty percent. That’s the number Trump is planning for tariffs on products coming to America from the European Union. Have no illusions, Putin’s ambitions are Trump’s responsibility. During his service in the KGB, Putin was open about his intent to end the organization which has prevented a WWIII, NATO. Trump’s constant criticism of NATO , the reason world peace was ever a possibility has a darker intent. He is desperate to accomplish his puppeteer’s primary ambition. If you are honest, everything Trump does or says is moronic. I would love to see the mainstream media post a notice everyday why they are not reporting anything about the idiot who occasionally visits the White House: “Trump did a bunch of stupid stuff again today that you don’t want to know about.” If the truth is told 25-40 percent of Trump’s time in office is spent on a golf course, at Mar-a-Lago, or at some event where the purpose is selling his cheap bibles, watches, fake bitcoins, or something else which puts money ...

Claiming that wisdom comes with age is only partially accurate. We tend to long for some of our past. Physical pain and limitations are frustrating. However life teaches us how to handle these difficulties. For some unfortunate men and women aging includes mental challenges: these are far more difficult to endure. Life is an experience and the greatest teacher of all. One of the most valuable lessons I wish I had learned 50 years ago involves physical possessions. If I had to guess how much of the money I earned was wasted, I’m pretty sure the number would be at least 50 percent. Not being a wealthy man, my biggest expenditures were automobiles: they were much cheaper in the 1970’s. I always found money in my budget for a car payment. Although we didn’t have cellphones and the desire to have the latest version each year, we did have our vices. While 60 percent of all Americans struggle paycheck to paycheck in the 21 st century, the other 40 percent waste money we need to survive. Unti...

The Truth: Tariffs are Import Taxes which go into the national Treasury. However, Consumers pay that tax when prices are raised for commodities as importers pay more for their raw goods. Trump Obviously Failed ‘Economics’ in Military Boarding School. I was aware of this fact and knew that his promise to end inflation, or more accurately, “Greedflation,” on “day one,” was a blatant lie. Trump jokingly referred to yesterday, Wednesday, April 2, 2025, and “Liberation Day,” when his ill-advised tariffs would become a reality. [The new tariffs introduced by Mr. Trump on Wednesday include a 10% universal tariff, as well as so-called reciprocal tariffs on more than 60 countries that are trade partners with the U.S. The tariffs will be additive, meaning that imports will face both the universal tariff of 10% plus the specific reciprocal import levies targeting each nation.] Trump lied and said that “eventually prices will be lowered.” The facts and opinions of qualified economists claim the op...

    Face it America, Trump and his party are the enemy. Trump is a destroyer, the opposite of a creator. This is why he failed to record a single accomplishment between 2017-2021, and will fail again between 2025 and 2029: if he lives that long, God forbid. Everything which improved the lives of the majority of our nation’s people has been removed over the last two weeks. Trump is showing his real self: he is a Nazi who supports our current plutocratic rule. He is NOT an American president. Calling Trump’s first two weeks pretending to be an American president have been labeled a disaster. This is true. However, it deserves adjectives added to disaster, including “abysmal,” “ultimate,” “horrific,” and many more. He told us that he would be taking revenge on his enemies, but not to this level. Most of every waking hour, and his executive orders are spent on personal attacks on his many, many detractors. None of this is focused on advancing the quality of life for our nation’s p...

I’m not part of the deceitful mainstream media, so I’m not going to pull my punches: many of those who voted for Trump will suffer the most, and I have no sympathy for them. No one should vote for a candidate who lies and uses television to make fools out of them. An entire industry could face ruin if Trump keeps his promise to conduct mass deportations. His goons will not be concerned about Hispanics who are here legally, they will only care about the origin of the birth. The agricultural industry cannot survive without workers who are willing to literally break their backs caring and harvesting their crops. It is no secret that many of these men and women are not legally in our country. In multiple interviews some of the owners of these farms tell us that they have tried to hire young men and women who were born in America to work for them, but none of them are willing to work that hard for so little money. Add to this Trump’s moronic idea to place large tariffs on imports. Some nati...

On a visit to France honoring our WWI soldiers who lost their lives fighting to save France from an invasion, Trump had a different slant on the day’s events. After refusing to attend the ceremony because it was rainy and windy and the weather would have ruffled his cheap toupee, the told an aide: “Why should they be honored? They’re all losers and suckers.” I paraphrase, but there was no doubt about his intentions. While today, December 7, 2024, we remember the soldiers and sailors who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor 83 years ago, Trump will not. However, thanks to the ignorance of millions of American voters, on January 20, 2025, Trump will once again be the Commander-in-Chief of all America’s armed forces. Military boarding school obviously did nothing for the old, orange man. Over the last nine years we have learned everything about this decrepit 78-year-old man. Therefore, it is no surprise that he is a confirmed sexual predator, a convicted felon, the leader of the Neo-Nazi ...

Op-ed ed by TheWiseOldFart Pretend Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, appeared on FOX “News” Monday. It was immediately clear that his goal was to downplay one of the darkest days in American history, July 1, 2024, when the Supreme Court violated the intent of the Constitution they swore to preserve and protect. Read the smoke he is trying to blow up your ass. He told his first lie, claiming we never had a president “prone to this kind of crazy criminal activity.” “There’s all sorts of hyperbole tonight, and this fantastical—these hypotheticals they’ve made up,” Johnson said. “Future presidents are going to turn into assassins, and all the rest. It’s madness.” I’m not concerned about President Biden or future presidents, I’m worried about your party’s leader, the one who attempted to overthrow our government. APPARENTLY, JOHNSON FAILED TO READ “GOVERNING FOR DUMMIES” Obviously, he doesn’t understand that the only vote which matters in a presidential election is the Electoral College. ...
