  I could use this title for many situations in my 78 years. But this refers to last night and a dream I had just before I awoke. The dream was about Trump and involved his obesity, unhealthy diet, and refusal to exercise. He is so lazy he drives his golfcart onto the greens. He is a poster boy for a stroke or heart attack. This was my dream. Trump had a massive stroke, preventing him from being sworn in on Monday. However, I was awake immediately and realized that my dream had become a nightmare. The inauguration will take place in just four days. He will once again be lying as he promises to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies foreign and domestic.” He is the enemy. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who will be totally embarrassed and sad on Monday. It would have been impossible 30 years ago for a serial philanderer, a convicted felon, and the only sitting president to have c...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump and his pretend Republican Party fear one thing more than anything else: the truth. I am saddened that I don’t have a million followers who cannot wait to read my blog daily. However, I will tell you once again about the most important issue in every election year, the economy. I’m going to take you back to 1981. Republicans would like you to believe that Ronald Reagan was a great president. This is far from the truth. In my estimation, he is listed in the category of the five worst presidents in history. The Corruption Which Exists in Washington Today Began in 1981 The truth about Reagan is revealed in his domestic policy. Reagan was the first Republican president to demand unquestioned loyalty from his party. Free thought and opposition to our 40 th president’s policies were forbidden. The entire right side of the Capitol Building was united against the left side, and occasionally each other.. It was Reagan who began the wars on the working class...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I didn’t realize until later in the day, today, that a group of fake Republicans are holding a debate this evening. I never thought about it because not a single man or woman who has declared his or her intention to win the right-wing nomination for the presidency in 2024 is qualified to become America’s president. None of those on the list are fit for public office at any level: including your former/worst president in American history. I think back to the 2016 campaign. It was a farce from beginning to end. There was never a debate. Each of these side shows was an affront on our political system. No issues were involved. Each of these debacles became focused on personal attacks. 17 men and women rode in the clown car, and the greatest buffoon in history emerged as the winner. It was of no concern to his party that he was woefully unqualified, a confirmed sexual predator, and a close personal ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Then, ...
