I’m sure that between 75 and 80 percent of voters who cast their ballots for Trump pay no attention to what happens in Washington, and know nothing about the “real Donald Trump.” I begin with yesterday. Trump does not honor our fallen soldiers on Veterans Day. He openly calls them “suckers” and “losers,” asking, “what was in it for them?” On January 20, 2025, he will once again become their Commander-in-Chief. In 2017 Trump had transcripts of his time at a military boarding school and Wharton Business College sealed. Why? Just listen to him speak. He is virtually illiterate, lacking the mental ability to pass his courses. His degree, like his military deferments, were bought and paid for by daddy Fred. It is a well-known fact that he cannot read a document with complete comprehension, including the all important Presidents Daily Brief. After leaving Wharton, he went to work with his father in his New York apartment business. As a rental agent, his orders, which he eagerly accepted, wer

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was watching the movie, “White House Down” for the third or fourth time today. It was first released in 2013.   I couldn’t help but notice the comparison between the characters who violently invaded the White House in the film, and the traitors who attempted to end democracy on January 6, 2021, the darkest day in American history, when they stormed the Capitol Building. If January 6 had happened prior to the release of the movie, it would have been easy to see the relationship between the characters portrayed by the actors and the real villains who violently invaded the building which houses our legislative branch in 2021. They shared beliefs in racism, bigotry, and displayed a desire to enact massive violence against our perceived enemies, all Muslims. THE MOVIE HAD A REALISTIC END: THE LEADER OF THE FAILED COUP ON JANUARY 6 IS SEEKING A RETURN TO THE WHITE HOUSE The primary difference between the movie and reality came at the end of the story.

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You just might know this person. Malignant Narcissist: “Malignant narcissism is a psychological syndrome that's a combination of narcissistic personality traits and psychopathic traits taken to an extreme level. People with malignant narcissism may have an inflated sense of self-worth, a need for admiration, and a disregard for others. They may also be aggressive, manipulative, and abusive without remorse.” Coup: “a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government” Fascist: “a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived.” Neo-Nazi: “a member of a group espousing the programs and policies of Hitler's Nazis.” White Supremacist: “a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races a

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a “fascist.” Why is everyone in the media afraid to tell the truth? From his own words and actions over four years defiling our White House, he revealed “the real Donald Trump.” [The meaning of FASCISM is a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual ...] In a recent 30 second video, Trump displayed newspaper headlines which might appear if the election is rigged again, and he wins in November. One of these headlines read, "industrial strength significantly increased driven by the creation of a unified reich." TO THE MEDIA, “GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND DO YOUR JOB” The media is protected by the First Amendment. “The fourth estate” is given this protection because their primary purpose is to expose corruption, graft, and the truth about what is happening within our federal government. Trump revealed multiple times that he would prefer to be our nation’s first di

    Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I abhor violence. I proudly admit to being a pacifist. No display of violence, from wars to a schoolyard fight have ever s olved anything in my 77 years.    However, there have been a few times in my life when I would have loved to watch an individual who is a traito r to the American people receive a punch in the mouth for their attacks on everything whi c h makes me proud to be an American. I won’t extrapolate , but if you know me, one is obviously Donald Trump.   T hese attacks were verbal, and always in the form of lies. Government officia ls who hide the truth from our nation’s people are the most egregious enemies to the Constitution and our nation’s future.   Professional politicians conveniently forget that the basic principle behind our Founding Father’s creation of the United States was a nation contr olled by the will of the people, not their government. Our Democratic Republic demands representation in our nation’s capital. All three bran
