I am a 78-year-old man who is loyal to his country, a man who opposes organized religion, a liberal, meaning I care about others as much as I care about myself, but I do not trust anyone in my government. In fact, I trust no one who is in a position of power, and that includes Trump’s oligarchs/billionaires. It took four decades for me to learn to see the undeniable truth. If you trust Trump, you would have trusted Hitler in 1930’s Germany. Trump uses the same tactics, and they are effective either because Americans are stupid, or because they share his hatred of freedoms, including free thought and the right to do anything which does not infringe upon the rights of others. If you are one of the few adamant supporters of the worst traitor in America’s history, you are undoubtedly a white supremacist and a regressive who wants America to return to “the dark old days.” Since the death of the greatest President in American history in 1945, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our nation began to de...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   At this moment, there are 8 13 billionaires in the United States. All but a few support Trump, Project 2025, and the replacement of democracy with a fascist regime. These plutocrats will never have enough money or as much power as they s eek. These men and women created “Greed flation.” If you worry about surviving month to month while food pric es, the cost of heating and cooling your home, and other nec e ssities continue to rise for no logical reason , you are not alone. You are one of about 165 million Americans who cannot remember what it was like to have hope that ‘things will get better.’ My America is nothing more than a fond memory.   We are living in a plutocracy. 813 billionaires control half of our leaders in Wa shington. However, a plutocracy cannot exist for long in a democracy. Therefore, these 813 individuals are working to end our democratic government and replace it with a fascist regime. Their ultimate goal is to pay zero dollar...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In a recent interview, retiring Utah Senator, Mitt Romney, had the following to say about Trump’s criminal indictments, and current and upcoming court dates. “I do. ... You may disagree with this, but had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought on indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him. I'd have pardoned President Trump. Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy.” Earlier, he claimed that he remains a critic of his party’s choice for the presidency, and denounced Trump’s criticism of our legal system. I have one question for Mr. Romney: “Are you suffering from dementia?” PARDONING TRUMP WOULD CONFIRM THAT HE IS ABOVE THE LAW AND OUR JUDICAL SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AND BIASED Trump’s facetious criticism of our legal system must be ignored. He is just another criminal who is angry because he got caught. He is no better than a low-level drug dealer who is caught wi...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   [Plutocrats: an elite or ruling class of people whose power derives from their wealth.] The entire right wing of our political spectrum is owned by billionaires. In 2017, a plan to move our capitalistic society into a plutocracy was completed by a wannabe billionaire who was pretending to be our president. The situation began in 1981 when another failed “Republican” was inaugurated. Ronald Reagan’s lies fooled many real Americans, including yours truly. I will tell you the truth no one else is willing to offer you. The TEA Party was created by the Koch brothers with the assistance of other billionaires. Its purpose remains gaining complete control or our nation’s government to secure their personal ambitions. This group of anti-Americans gave birth to an even more radical and destructive group calling themselves “the Freedom Caucus.” In 2016, billionaire Robert Mercer took control of Donald Trump’s campaign in August and the rest is part of America’s dark ...
