  If you are like me, you find Elon Musk a very boring man. However, now that he has become the co-pre , he is part of every day’s news. I find this part of the story most interesting because it affects his ridiculously great wealth. I consider billionaires worthless human beings. They do nothing for the majority because their only interest is where they rank in the world of wealthy individuals. Musk’s devotion to Trump and the extreme right is hurting him where it counts: his wallet. He continues to lose millions of dollars after he purchased Twitter, and now his primary business, Tesla, is experiencing a decline in sales. [Tesla said that in 2024 it delivered 1.79 million cars, which was 1.1% below the 1.81 million cars the company sold in 2023. Back in 2022, Tesla confidently predicted that the company would grow 50% each year for the next few years. That didn’t happen as Musk went full MAGA.] Musk ceased to show an interest in Tesla and became a poli...

By his own actions, the world is aware that Trump is a weak and needy old man, and is not a leader of men. However, it is abundantly clear by his own words and actions that his idols are Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin: the world’s two greatest enemies in history. Hitler was and Putin is all powerful. No dissent, no disagreement of any kind was allowed. Trump is a weak, wannabe dictator. He doesn’t know how to control his people. As his mental faculties continue to erode, he is just another old, white man lost in his dark and pitiful past. Although he claims the opposite, Trump has consistently chosen the worst people as aides and his closest advisers. In 2016 Steve Bannon had acted as his campaign manager in the final three months, and later as his chief policy adviser in the White House. Today, Trump has chosen Elon Musk as his co-president. Today, January 1, 2025,  the battle lines have been drawn within his MAGA/Fascist Parties of the past and present. Bannon has declared his l...

    Trump endorsed Mike Johnson to remain Speaker of the House. Initially, co-president, Elon Musk agreed, but later changed his mind. Who is in charge of the former MAGA Republican Party, better known as the American Fascist Party? Texas Republican Congressman Chip Roy is uncertain regarding the leadership of the House, and doubts that Johnson has to votes to win. “I remain undecided, as do a number of my colleagues, because we saw so many of the failures last year that we are concerned about that might limit or inhibit our ability to advance the president’s agenda,” Roy said Tuesday on “Varney & Co.” on Fox Business. Republican Thomas Massie: “I respect and support President Trump, but his endorsement of Mike Johnson is going to work out about as well as his endorsement of Speaker Paul Ryan,” Massie wrote. “We’ve seen Johnson partner with the democrats to send money to Ukraine, authorize spying on Americans, and blow the budget.” Musk re...

Co-presidents, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are sticking together. However, other members of Trump’s American Fascist Party are revolting, and once again the turmoil is about immigration and xenophobia. The H-1B visa program is important to America’s future. It allows students from foreign nations to attend our colleges and universities and find employment at our major tech companies, including Microsoft and Google. In collusion with right-wing extremists and the fascist manifesto called Project 2025, Trump adopted a severe and unwise stand on immigration. However, in the interests of America’s tech industry, Trump’s co-president, Elon Musk, announced that he supports the H-1B visa program. After his announcement, Trump offered his support for his new friend and ally. However, the most extreme members of his fascist party have been extremely vocal about their opposition and are now in conflict with their party’s leader. Convicted felon and one of the leaders of the most extreme branch of...

Regardless of the claims of men and women who call themselves “Republicans,” it is becoming clearer every day that Elon Musk is in control of the transition of power in Washington. Trump is nothing but an old, obese, con man who is senile and demonstrates a growing level of dementia. At the age of 78, and with an unhealthy diet and no exercise, (Trump even drives his golf cart onto the greens), he is prone to a heart attack or strake at any moment. It is common sense to believe that Trump will not complete a four-year term. The position of the Republican men and women in the House on the moronic debt ceiling debate was obviously dictated by Musk, not by Trump. Trump has no idea how to manage the economy of what politicians claim is “the richest country in the world.” I know that Musk knows nothing about governing 340 million people either. However, unlike Trump, Musk has been a successful businessman, while Trump has never accomplished anything in nearly 80 years. Here's the lie to...

In a recent article, I discussed the fact that Trump and his party were apparently paying homage to Elon Musk; accepting him as their “co-president.” Today, the failures on the right side of the aisle confirmed by assumption. "It's kind of interesting, we have a president, we have a vice president, we have a speaker. It feels like Elon Musk is our prime minister," Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) said in a CBS "Face the Nation" hit. This comment by another fake Republican confirms my many and frequent allegations that Trump’s party does not understand how America’s government functions, and there are reasons the men and women who take up space in Washington are elected by the people, not chosen by a dictator or Fuhrer. Very soon our country’s people will experience the most incompetent and untrustworthy government in American history.. Musk succeeded with Tesla, although recent problems with his vehicles question their reliability, but he displayed a narrow and limi...

Every year Republicans create a possible government shutdown. The “debt ceiling,” a situation which only exists in America, is an issue which is highly volatile, created by right-wing politicians, although they agreed to the yearly national spending budget at the beginning of the year. There is no other situation which offers irrefutable proof that the government of the United States of America is composed of men and women with a low level of intelligence, incapable of governing 340 million people. The two words which accurately describe the failures taking up space in Washington are ‘incompetent and corrupt.’ There are no “Republican” politicians in our nation’s capital. These pretenders abandoned the principles and morals of the Grand Old Party on January 20, 2017. Not allowed to think for themselves, they obey the demands of Donald Trump without question. However, there is a change in the way decisions are made in 2024. A new player, another self-serving super-rich and incompetent w...

I do not work for the mainstream media, and therefore I am not required to hide the truth or bow to our corrupt and incompetent government. I can ask the questions and report the truth they cannot or will not. So, here goes. Not one of Trump’s selections for his administration is qualified for anything, definitely not leading some of our nation’s most critical and necessary organizations. However, of all the morons on his naughty or nice list, the greatest fool of them all is now apparently living at Mar-a-Lago. Elon Musk if a billionaire, in fact he is statistically the richest man in the world. Most of the world’s leader believe that Putin is the richest man in the world. However, great wealth has no relationship to great intellect, or even common sense. Like Trump, Musk knows nothing about anything. He is undoubtedly a great engineer, but that’s where his expertise begins and ends. He has no place, no right to be involved in our nation’s government. He has no experience, no associat...

The FBI informed American voters that Russia was once again attempting to interfere in our elections about a year before the election. Since that occasion, I have not read a single article from any member of our government or the mainstream media informing the American people about the extent of their efforts or the how those efforts were used. They know. Why don’t we? One article I did read not long after the debacle on November 5 th stated that a well-respected tech company believes that Russian hackers, who may have been partially funded by Elon Musk, were heavily involved in the seven swing states. What is the truth? I know one thing and one thing only. If our election was rigged, our government will never admit the fact that they are too incompetent to do anything about it. They will accept a fascist as our nation’s illegitimate leader for the second time. Trump will never be my president, and his country will never be mine.

After what I believe was a very controversial election, polls reveal that the majority of voters support a progressive agenda, not the regressive policies of the fascist Trump party. I ask all of you: if you follow American politics regularly, not with my obsession, does it make sense after watching the results of the 2016, 2020, and 2024 election that Trump could have won all seven swing states and the popular vote on November 5 th ? Common sense tells me that Trump’s failures over the last nine years would have lost him votes, not increased his reported numbers. Add to this the fact that he will soon be an octogenarian, and one and one does not make two. Fact: exit polls revealed a severe dislike for the orange buffoon, and the number of questions have grown about the legitimacy of the 2024 election. If we include Putin’s efforts combined with those of Elon Musk, and the possibility of the best hackers in the world becoming part of the equation, the American people deserve answers. E...

We had nine years to learn about “the real Donald Trump.” It isn’t good, but millions of Americans don’t care. They obviously share his beliefs in white supremacy, homophobia, misogyny, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia, among other forms of bigotry. However, we didn’t know much about his latest billionaire ass kisser, Elon Musk. We already knew that Musk was a good automobile mechanic, but is void of common sense and compassion for anyone else but himself. Now,  with his close association with Trump, we have become aware that he is an idiot, and an egomaniac. The biggest difference between Musk and Trump is that Musk is a real billionaire. He used millions of dollars to buy votes for the orange buffoon, proving once again that for the super-rich there are no laws. [Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of...

  What I have been reading over the last week cannot be real. It must be a farcical movie produced by the Farrelly or the Coen brothers. In this movie, the dumbest, most corrupt old, obese, white man in America became our country’s president. To add to the ridiculous overall theme, this moron selected men and women for his cabinet and closest advisors who are totally unfit for the positions offered to them, and in several situations opposed to the departments they will lead. If this is reality, this movie will produce more tears than laughter. Does anyone with average intelligence believe that “Little Marco Rubio” possesses any of the experience and skills necessary to hold the positions of Secretary of State? Rubio has been called the “laziest member of the Senate.” Not once has he displayed the ability to “think on his feet,” or the skills necessary to negotiate during the diplomaticl process. Then I read about Tulsi Gabbard. She has frequently been suspected of having a ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fascism and the current plutocracy. America’s dirty, little secret. Thanks to today’s fake Republican Party, the United States of America is in the control of less than one percent of our nation’s population: billionaires. A country controlled by the rich is called a plutocracy. The dirty little secret is that a plutocracy cannot be maintained without complete control over a nation’s future: this is called fascism. A large percentage of Americans hate billionaires. They have many good reasons to feel such strong emotions. They created greedflation, and support the worst, least-qualified, obese, old man in the world and his return to the White House. Three of these depraved, greedy men choose to place themselves in positions of notoriety, and therefore scrutiny, are Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. All social media sites are more harmful than beneficial. What was once the era of information has become the era of misinformation thanks to...
