Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I may have been naïve. This baby boomer grew up trusting everyone older than me, especially those with authority and power. I firmly believed that our government placed the welfare of its people as priority number one. I believed the slogan on the side of police cars was sincere: “to Protect and to Serve.” When my priest gave his sermon, I trusted him with all my heart. I knew that my teachers, including the nuns, loved their jobs and would make my life better. I watched the evening news and believed every word. But things have changed over my 77 years. I no longer trust anyone who has power over me and those I love. Trust is earned and most of what I believed in my younger days no longer exists. No one in Washington can be trusted. Over the years I have less and less faith in Congress. Of the 13 presidents I remember, only five of them were competent and true patriots, and it may surprise you but Richard Nixon was one of them. His huge mistake was unforgivabl

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Today the House voted on a motion to expel George Santos from Congress. Santos is accused of multiple violations of the law, received a win in 2022 under false pretenses, and no one can verify his identity. However, the fake Republicans in the House failed to remove him on Wednesday. This was another embarrassment for the once Grand Old Party. They failed to remove a man who is nothing more than a con man and a class clown from the legislative body of the United States. This explains why our nation’s individual who is second in line for the presidency, Mike Johnson, is the Speaker of the House, although he opposes the First Amendment of the Constitution. Every day Santos remains in our legislature is a mockery about how horrible, incompetent, corrupt, and dysfunctional our government has become. We are a nation without leaders, and without laws. Anyone who is given a voice in Washington is allowed to voice opinions opposed to the principles, morals, and ideals

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is an irrefutable fact that today’s pseudo-Republicans hate the principles of our Founding Fathers, and have no interest in the future of the American People. Studies prove that they are opposed to every issue favored by the majority. The leader of their party is a lifelong criminal, a sexual predator, a fascist, the biggest traitor in American history, and the worst American president by far. I couldn’t make this s**t up. The truth is that the real Republican Party began to implode in 1981. Trump and his followers completed its demise in 2017, and it will never return. The ideals and principles of the former Grand Old Party are dead and forgotten. Today’s group has moved so far to the right they have embraced the ideas of fascism. Human rights, liberty and justice for all, and the ideals of understanding and compassion have long been forgotten. Money is their only god, and support from the wealthiest five percent of our nation’s people is priority number o

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Proud Boy Chairman Enrique Tarrio Gets 22 Years For Orchestrating The January 6th Insurrection. What does this mean for Trump? If the allegation that he organized and executed the failed coup, his sentence could be much longer, and by observation of his physical and mental decline, this would mean life in prison. I am sick and tired of anyone referring to the darkest day in America’s history as a “protest.” My wife and I watched all three hours of an American tragedy, and this was nothing less than an attempted coup: the end of American democracy. I don’t give a damn if you support those on the right side of the aisle or the left, it was an insurrection, organized, planned, and executed by America’s 45 th president. No punishment is too serious. This is the only thing I never imagined in my lifetime. In my 77 years I have met a number of individuals who are not entirely loyal to their country. A nation as diverse as ours is required to entertain thousands of

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I have written many times that Trump is not an American and therefore cannot become the President of the United States of America. Recently, he admitted that my allegation is indeed fact. The proof actually began on January 20, 2017, and was completed on January 6, 2021 when he ordered his Neo-Nazi army to halt the certification of the Electoral College vote. Recently, he admitted that he hates the America of our founding fathers and the Constitution signed by the members of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia at the closing in 1789. He told some members of his cult that he “wished he lived overseas.” Of course the only countries which would accept him are Russia, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Turkey. He is hated by nearly every person in any of the developed nations. I would love to see him leave our country permanently. From the day he was born, he was living in the Trump world, the Trump Klan. His daddy paid for everything from deferments fro

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Fox began to back away from supporting Donald Trump after the January 6 insurrection and the indictments for his felonious actions. However, as ratings continue to drop, and fear and desperation replaced the fake news network’s arrogance, the right-wing propaganda machine is once again focusing their attention on the greatest traitor in American history. It is no secret that the extremists on the right side of the aisle seek repeal of the first amendment, unless it is beneficial for their obscene and anti-American agenda. Fox is claiming that Trump had a right to attempt the overthrow of our government, based on the first amendment in the Bill of Rights. Fox claims that Trump had a right to say “some bad things.” What the f**k is happening in this nation? We are devolving into the dark ages when a small group of very rich men controlled our government and the future of our country. If Franklin D. Roosevelt had not become our president, the end of the

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   For once the “experts” were right. It has been a slow process, but the Republican Party is crumbling. Although its destruction began in 1981, Trump’s illegitimate presidency hurried its demise. Most of today’s fake Republicans remained loyal to the worst president in American history until he began his baseless claim of “massive fraud” in the 2020 election, and organized the failed coup on January 6, 2021 while remaining in office. With the 2024 campaign season in its beginnings, more right-wing politicians are abandoning Trump and his cult. Although this is undoubtedly a good thing, those who would replace him as their party’s leader are unfit for office and would be as bad or worse than Trump. In all of modern history, Republicans have proven themselves incapable of governing our nation. Reagan began our escalating national debt, Bush 41 continued his fiscal policy, Bush 43 also employed “trickle-down economics” and placed our nation in two illegal

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump has always believed that he is above the law. His life of crime is fraught with tales of financial crime and sexual misconduct. During the 2016 campaign he claimed that he “could shoot someone in Times Square and nothing would happen.” In 2018 and 2021, Moscow Mitch McConnell offered Trump proof that he was indeed above the law when he refused to conduct a fair trial after he was impeached twice by the House. In past articles I have proven that America’s entire justice system is broken from the cops on the street to the current biased Supreme Court. The rich and powerful are never treated fairly by law enforcement, or the courts. I only need to offer one situation to prove my allegation involving Donald John Trump. On January 6, 2021, he committed treason and yet he remains a free man. Later it was confirmed that he was hiding classified documents, including those related to nuclear power, in violation of the Espionage Act, the same act which was

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart     For the first time in history, and hopefully the last, a President of the United States was under investigation for criminal actions from his first day in office. The day was January 20, 2017, and the illegitimate president inaugurated on that dark day was Donald John Trump.    Trump immediately faced allegations from 26 women of sexual misconduct. His policies focused on Muslims, and later Hispanics resulted in charges of racism and bigotry. He was under investigation for misuse of donations to his minimal inauguration. A letter signed by 25 reputable psychiatrists claimed that Trump was mentally unstable and unfit to lead our country. The list was long before he made his first state of the union address.   His actions became more extreme. Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time on December 18, 2019. The articles of impeachment charged him with abuse of power and\ obstruction of Congress. However, Moscow Mitch McConne

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart     I am an honest man who always tells the truth, truth based on facts and experience. I love my country and what it stands for. I have never caused harm to or defrauded others to fill my wallet. I also had three wives, but treated them with respect and when the marriages ended, we went our separate ways without malice or animosity. The truth is, we have only shared one thing in our 77 years on this planet: we both watched the insurrection on January 6, 2021, and did nothing. I lacked the power to do anything about what were irrefutable acts of Treason. Trump cheered them on, enjoying every moment as his neo-Nazi army waged war on the Congress of the United States. The term is clearly “treason.”   It is a sad fact that America’s justice system is not blind, fair or balanced. Although many individuals have been punished for their actions on January 6, none of them have been tried for the gravity of their crimes. This was not a riot, or a violent protest, this
