Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here are a few of the promises Trump made during the 2016 and 2024 campaigns: none of which he kept. In fact, Trump 2.0 is 100 times worse than the first. PROMISES MADE, PROMISES BROKEN Trump told his supporters: “I know the best people, and I will have the most qualified administration ever.” This would be funny if his “people” were human and cared about their country. The orange buffoon promised the American people that he would get “criminals off of our streets, including rapists and murderers.” He continues to pardon the worst of the worst, including the murderous 1600 who invaded the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. “I will only detain and deport the worst criminals who are in our country illegally.” Donald John Trump. ICE is kidnapping anyone who is clearly not pure white, including American citizens. Trump swore: “on day one I will end Greedflation.” And: “on day one I will end the invasion of Ukraine.” My wife and I are spending more on groceries and...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Can you trust your president? Only if you can pick up 300 pounds of lard in one hand and toss it across the ocean. Trump constantly lies. He is incapable of telling the truth because the truth is his greatest enemy. But, he is not alone. The Pentagon is by nature a fascist group of old men and women who enjoy playing with their very expensive toys. They realize that in peacetime, they are useless. Therefore, it is no surprise that they are obeying orders from their Fuhrer and murdering dozens of people off the coast of Venezuela, claiming they are transporting illegal drugs. They have no proof, there has been no due process. This is not important for Trump and his “Wehrmacht.” Trump and Hegseth are committing murder in the first degree. Our military leaders are guilty of war crimes, and violations of the UCMJ: the Universal Code of Military Justice. The question I have is “why has the mainstream refused to do the right thing and tell the Truth about the criminal...

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. They baselessly claimed that as the president, he deserved our “respect.” Let me explain something to these morons: respect and trust must be earned, never given freely. Trump is undeserving of both. 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...
