Trump’s America is a Shithole

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The facts are irrefutable. Donald Trump is America’s greatest traitor, and its greatest enemy, equaled only by his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin. To call him “America’s worst president in history” is redundant. Two impeachments, zero fair trials in the Senate: committing treason on January 6, 2021: violating the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021: responsible for many of the one-million-plus deaths from Covid-19 after failing to take immediate action: and placing our economy in proximity to a second great depression: these are the highlights of Trump’s first term between 2017 and 2021. From his first day in office until today, his second term is far, far worse. PROJECT 2025: 922 PAGES OF FASCIST DOCTRINE On January 21, 2025, Trump revealed his plans for the next four years. He began efforts to destroy the lives of his enemies: more than 200 million patriotic Americans. His early Constitutional violations were efforts to use his position as your illegitimate president...

Bernie Sanders is Right, and the American People Know It

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The term is “Democratic Socialism.” Read the definition and think about the biggest problems most Americans face today, and ask yourself if it makes sense. [Democratic socialism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for a decentralized, socially-owned economy operating within a democratically controlled political system. It seeks to dismantle corporate power, shift resources away from profit-driven motives toward social need, and empower workers in their daily lives.”] This IS the basic intent of our Founding Fathers: the people should have a voice in everything happening in our nation’s capital. The people support the change. Look at the results of yesterday’s New York primary elections. FROM CAPITALISM TO THE CURRENT PLUTOCRACY: MOST AMERICANS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN From 1789 through the end of the 2j0th century, America has been a capitalistic society. America’s largest corporations have controlled the economy and therefore the future of our nation...

Trump’s Obstruction of Justice has Become Standard Operating Procedure

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nothing about Trump’s self-created persona is real. There are irrefutable facts on full display that the orange buffoon is a very old, obese, mentally deficient pretender who is desperate to remain relevant and powerful. He is intentionally destroying the core fabric of American values. The truth is that Trump’s mental acuity is in steep decline. A combination of his lifelong affliction with malignant narcissism and escalating dementia are apparent for everyone to see and he must be removed from the presidency if our nation is to be saved from extinction. THE UNTOLD TRUTH Trump’s Nazi Party is in chaos. Without his supporters and the reality of a growing number of Republicans who are deserting the once Grand Old Party, right-wing politicians are existing in an atmosphere consisting of uncertainty and fear. Not a single man or woman calling themselves “Republican” today, is concerned about anything other than reelection. The midterm elections are critical for Tru...

With the Rising Number of Billionaires, America Began its Demise

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “Profit Before People.” These three words became the American motto in 1981. Ronald Reagan was the first fake Republican president. His fiscal policy, “trickle-down economics,” was a gift to our nation’s wealthiest citizens. His lie was a promise that if America’s largest corporations were more profitable, they would reinvest in our country’s future, and provide “good-paying jobs” for every man and woman in America. What really happened is common knowledge. America’s billionaires used the money they received from huge tax breaks and purchased another mansion in a foreign nation, more outrageously expensive cars, or additional cases of their favorite French wine. Some simply added funds to their offshore bank accounts. Reagan’s three Republican successors used the same failed fiscal policy. WHERE IS AMERICA TODAY? America’s economic system of “capitalism” was unfair to the working class for generations. Today, capitalism has been replaced by a plutocracy/oligarch...

How Six Corrupt Supreme Court Justices Remade the Court Into a Tool for Right-Wing Extremists

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every organization is controlled from the top of the food chain. Corporations follow the policies of the CEO, COO, and the CFO. Government officials, both Democratic and Authoritarian, obey their primary leader who controls the direction of a nation and its citizens. Our nation’s military demands and receives 100 percent obeyance from it’s lower ranking members. In America, the third branch of government, the Supreme Court, follows the direction of the Chief Justice. Personally, I believe that a great, even a good leader is wise and his success lies within the people he was chosen to lead. “A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” Lao Tzu I WOULD DESCRIBE JOHN ROBERTS AS “A SNEAKY SON OF A BITCH” Like most Americans, I believed that Chief Justice, John Roberts, was a moderate who would choose to do the right thing for the American people. I was conned. Everyone knows that C...

What Caused the Demise of the Democratic Republic?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First and foremost, massive corruption is the reason the federal government of the United States is dysfunctional and irreparable in its current state. But who or what allowed such a level of corruption to become the norm in Washington D.C.? Number one is why our national motto has changed from “e pluribus unum,” to “profit before people”. ONLY ONE MAN CAN BE REMEMBERED AS “THE PEOPLE’S PRESIDENT” In 1932 the greatest President in America’s history was elected by the people. Big business had a stranglehold on America’s working class after the Great Depression of 1929. Franklin Delano Roosevelt fought for all Americans until he died during his fourth term in 1945. His policies improved the quality of life for the working class and allowed big business to take care of itself. Without FDR the only perfect law would never have been passed. He signed the Social Security Act in 1935 and today, in the 21 st century, most older Americans rely on Social Security for mos...

A Short List of Those Who Are Destroying My America

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Super-rich, professional politicians, fake Christians, the Pentagon, corrupt members of the Supreme Court, the Department of Justice, and, all law enforcement. If you are a hard-working, patriotic American, the groups previously listed are your enemies. They serve an old, fat, mentally damaged traitor, not their country, and definitely not you and me. It is a widely known fact that Trump’s only loyalty is to Donald Trump, and not to anyone else. Over the last 10+ years we have watched Trump demand complete loyalty to him, but has not offered the same to others. WHY WOULD THE ABOVE NAMED GROUPS SUPPORT TRUMP? Donald John Trump is a traitor, a sexual predator, and the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. So, if you love your country, how could you possibly support the worst man in the world? The answer is clear and undeniable. America is no longer a capitalistic society, it is a plutocracy, also known as an oligarchy. A plutocracy cannot be sustained in a na...

Deception, Illusions, and Fascism

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is highly likely that I have written at least one article about every evil act committed by Trump, his Fascist Party, and his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Much of the damage caused by Trump and his Nazi supporters is irreparable, at least for several decades in the future. I hate Trump and what has become the American Nazi Party. I never use that word. However, Trump has earned its use by me and any loyal and patriotic American. The underlying truth is undeniable. Everything which is happening to our country from the most corrupt politicians in history is farcical. None of it is real, and all of it proves that evil is real, and if there was a “God,” He or She is definitely dead. The following is a short list of what is real and what is not. A real President of the United States follows the rules contained in the Constitution. Trump violates his oath of office, to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, fo...

This is For My Loyal Readers Around the World

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Who can we trust in 2025. The truth is “no one.” My blog is controlled by Google. Just weeks ago, the statistics related to viewership of my articles had increased to approximately 1,500 per day. However, the majority of my articles expose Trump and his plan to end democracy in America and establish a fascist regime. Over the last few days, Google has reported an extreme decrease in my daily readers at zero. America has moved from a capitalistic nation to a plutocracy/oligarchy. Our nation is controlled by Trump and 902 billionaires/oligarchs to now control our nation’s future. Prior to the 2024 illegitimate and rigged election, several billionaires opposed Trump because of his anti-American beliefs and plans for our nation’s future. However, after another rigged election, a significant number of the richest individuals in the world chose to surrender their morals and principles in support of the worst man in the world. Most significant are five of the richest t...

Trump’s Approval Rating Continues to Fall as the Economy Moves Towards a Second Great Recession

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America’s economy grows when consumers purchase goods and services produced by corporations. For more than 200 years capitalism fueled our nation’s growth. In 2025 capitalism expanded into a plutocracy/oligarchy. America is no longer in control of the government, it is ruled by 902 of the richest men and women in the world. However, both capitalism and a plutocracy rely on discretionary spending. [Discretionary spending refers to non-essential costs for wants rather than needs, like dining out, entertainment, hobbies, vacations, or luxury goods, which can be adjusted or cut from a budget. It contrasts with mandatory spending (rent, groceries, utilities, insurance) and represents flexible funds for personal enjoyment, lifestyle enhancements, or strategic investments, distinct from basic survival costs.] Rich people are not usually intelligent. Their success is the result of a single talent, a single ability, which expanded into greater wealth than any one person ...

Trump Should Follow the Example of his Idol and Stop Blaming Others for a Lifetime of Failure

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that Trump’s lifelong idol is Adolf Hitler. Your illegitimate president is attempting to mimic his Fuhrer in every way. He has become a tyrannical dictator; ignores the needs and wishes of his own people, is engaged in ethnic cleansing, and lies every time he opens his piehole. After Tuesday’s enormous losses: a virtual mandate by the American people: he should follow his hero’s example and take his own life, or simply place himself in exile to the country he actually loves; Russia. However, Trump is too cowardly and too self-centered to do the right thing. Nothing would please real Americans more than to never hear the name Trump again. For more than 10 years, when I turn on my computer every morning, I see his name everywhere. I don’t read anything he has to say, because he never has anything of importance coming from his lying lips. e     When the votes were counted on Tuesday, Trump’s greatest fear became reality. Zohran Mamdani will...

With a Fascist Dictator in Our White House, and his 902 Oligarchs in Control of America, What Would be the Solution?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The not so well-kept secret that Trump is a fascist dictator is not a surprise. Trump hates America and what most of our nation’s people support: celebrating our diversity, inclusion for all, and complete equality regardless of your ethnic origin, color of your skin, religious affiliation, sex or sexual orientation. He is the leader of the Nazi movement in America. [Fascism: a far-right, authoritarian political ideology and system of government characterized by a dictatorial leader, a centralized autocratic government, and the forcible suppression of opposition. It is marked by extreme nationalism, a belief in the supremacy of the nation over the individual, and often a cult of personality around the leader. Other common features include militarism, suppression of dissent, and a rejection of democratic liberalism.] Convince me that the above is not an accurate definition of Trump and his party. Senator Bernie Sanders is the champion of the majority: the working ...

America’s Class System has Gone Mad

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every country has a ‘class system,’ although it is seldom, if ever, a topic of discussion. A thousand years ago, the prevailing class systems were monarchies and theocracies. They continue to exist today but lack the power and influence they once possessed. Monarchies were ruled by kings and/or queens. Your status in those nations was determined by what rank you held within the monarchy. Theocracies were and are ruled by a supreme religious leader: a Pope, an Archbishop, an Ayatollah, or a supreme leader by any other name. Those who served their Leader were given specific titles or ranking based on their importance in their religion’s efforts to maintain control over their subjects. America is a very young nation. Its very existence was founded on preventing a class system, rejecting the very idea of a king or any other form of autocracy, and adamantly opposed to rule by the leader of any one religion. However, America unintentionally created its own ‘class syst...

Donald Trump: The Poster Boy Proving Why Rich, White, Old Men Make the Worst Presidents

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The two vices which result in good men becoming bad people are undeniably great wealth and great power. The very reason the United States exists is because one man, with ultimate power and wealth beyond imagination, made a final decision which was unacceptable to men of great morals, great principles, and a dream. King George III declared that the Anglican Church was the one, true religion of the British Empire. The number of American Presidents is now 47. However, the number of American Presidents who performed their duties as described in the Constitution, and as expected by the American people, can be counted on just seven fingers. In my humble but carefully constructed opinion, they are George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I rate these men based on their loyalty to their country, respect for all Americans, devotion to the meaning of the Constitution, and ...

Why Trump’s Fascist Party Hates Anything Considered “Woke”

Image
I’m not going to be nice, but I will tell you the truth. All Republicans are stupid and racist. They use terms such as “deep state,” refer to President Biden’s extremely successful economic policy as a “virus,” label all social programs ‘socialism,’ call progressives ‘elitists,’ and the most idiotic of all, use “woke” without understanding its meaning. They have no idea what they are saying, they simply mimic their Fuhrer’s illiterate speech. The most laughable is “woke.” The word’s origin comes from the Black community and its constant fight for justice and equality. [It has been traced all the way back to “Scottsboro Boys,” a protest song recorded by Lead Belly in the 1930s advising Black people to “stay woke” and be aware of racist policies in the deeply segregated South.] The right is aware that “woke” in the 21 st century simply refers to social injustice. If you are “woke,” you care about others as much as you care about yourself: you embrace feelings of compassion and understan...

There are no “Conservatives” in Washington

Image
The men and women who call themselves “conservatives” in the 21 st century are lying. True conservatives no longer exist. These liars and hypocrites talk a lot about “fiscal responsibility,” but their words are nothing more than hot air. They will continue to support and protect the outrageous wealth of our nation’s billionaires/oligarchs, while removing funds from the men and women who need them to perform the jobs for which they were elected. One fact proves everything I claim about the once Grand Old Party: Donald Trump is the most expensive political toy in history. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump used taxpayer money to constantly live the life of a real billionaire. The America people funded his play time with six million dollars every month he pretended to be your president. In a single term, he spent about 288 million dollars of your money. His failed fiscal policy of “trickle-down economics” added more than eight trillion dollars to the deficit. That number begins with a “T,” and...

I Am Beginning a Campaign to Remove One Unnecessary Word from the National Anthem

Image
The last words of our nation’s National Anthem are, “O-er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” One word no longer applies. In the 21 st century, only one percent of all 340 million people experience the American dream, and the core reason our country was the most respected country in the world. That word is “freedom.” I am 78 years old, and struggle to keep our home, eat fresh and healthy food, and pay our utility and water bills every month. I am a slave to a government which ignores me, my wife, and nearly 80 million other citizens. We are not ‘free,’ we are survivors of the corrupt leadership in Washington. We are expected to show our appreciation for a 2.5 percent annual raise when Greedflation has increased by as much as 60 percent on necessities. If “the People’s President,” Franklin Delano Roosevelt, had not displayed his deep concern for all of our nation’s people and created the plan I and my wife paid into for more than 40 years each, Social Security, my wife an...

Wasteful Government Spending, or Extreme Greed Among Oligarchs?

Image
Let me begin with a crude but accurate statement defining Trump and Musk: they are old, white men who are liars, and full of shit. A simple assessment of their actions proves that their efforts have a single purpose: to place even more money into the bank accounts of our nation’s 813 Oligarchs/Billionaires. Fair taxation has always been overlooked in America. History proves that our government has always placed the profits of the super-rich in priority above the welfare of the majority, with the exception of the FDR presidency between 1933 and 1945. If America’s most wealthy citizens paid their fair share of taxes in the past and present, our nation could fund the same programs found in every other developed nation and still have a surplus. Consider this fact: in 2018, Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy supporters greatly reduced the percentage of taxes paid by the one percent. For example: In 2018 Walmart and Amazon paid zero dollars in taxes, while pocketing billions of dollars in prof...

There is no Doubt, on This Day, April 13, 2025, I Can Confirm that Democracy is Dead in the United States

Image
Putin, Trump, and Musk won: democracy is nothing but a memory today. America is now a fascist country under the control of Fuhrer Trump, and his master, Vladimir Putin. Trump’s Nazi Army has defeated the most powerful military force on the planet. If you read the three attached articles, and are witnessing the fact that our corrupt and cowardly military leaders are doing nothing to end Trump’s unconstitutional actions, they did nothing on January 6, and you know I’m right but don’t want to admit it. The truth is unconscionable and it is your fault if you voted for a traitor last November. I’m going to tell you something you won’t like, but it is an undeniable fact. If you were born after 1960, you have no idea what America was like before you were born. My generation, original baby boomers, has been criticized and made fun of by the idiots on late night television and stand-up comics for years. What you don’t know is that we grew up extremely patriotic and proud of the nation we were f...
