Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For more than 10 years I have written thousands of articles for newspapers, blogs, and my own effort, my blog, “TheWiseOldFart,”  to inform the American people of the truth. I feel a great sadness that most of what I offer my readers is about the men who intentionally changed the direction, the future, of a nation called the United States of America, not for good, but for the worse. I learned what patriotism meant when I began attending elementary school in 1952. I was one of the nerds who loved school. Every day at St. Mark’s Elementary School began with me and my fellow students standing, facing the American flag in the corner of the room, and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. My younger brother and I were raised by a single mother. We were poor, but we didn’t know it because we were happy. Television was in its infancy and was our primary source of entertainment when we were inside our one-bedroom apartment. The screen was only nine inches wide and nine ...

A confirmed draft dodger: called the brave soldiers who lost their lives in WWI “suckers and losers:” and next month he will honor, or more realistically disgrace himself with something only fascist dictators demand, a military parade. If you were graduating from West Point, would you want this old, obese, convicted felon and America’s biggest traitor speaking at the most important day in your young life? When Trump became your illegitimate president for the first time in 2017, members of his staff criticized me and millions of others who refused to accept him as our president.

It is a farce to offer Trump the title of “Commander-in-Chief.” In reality, Trump is our “Criminal-in Chief.” He continues to violate the Emoluments Clause in the Constitution every day he pretends to be your presid...

It is an undeniable fact that on January 20, 2021, Trump violated the Espionage Act by stealing an estimated 14 boxes of national secrets from the White House. Although a corrupt Supreme Court prevented his prosecution, he remains guilty of a crime punishable by death. Trump does not normally lead by example. His “basement dwellers” choose to believe his lies. This is how he survived for nearly 79 years. Now that he is once again your illegitimate president, his woefully unqualified administration is following his lead in all the wrong directions. Both his national security adviser, Mike Waltz, and his choice for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, willfully disobeyed the rules and made top secret information accessible to the world’s population. Neither moron has been fired. However, today, May 2, 2025, it was reported that Waltz was removed from his current position, and subsequently nominated for America’s Ambassador to the United Nations. If America had a real president, both men w...
