Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After respected tech companies agreed with my allegation that the 2024 election was rigged by Putin, again, I no longer have a single doubt that Trump is once again an illegitimate president. I also believe that once again our government was aware that Putin would spend millions of dollars to influence the results. My question began with the “experts” claiming that Trump won all seven swing states. Impossible. The tech companies claim that Russian hackers gained access to the voting machines in all seven states. Most importantly, four years of watching Trump commit crimes could not have resulted in such extremes between the 2020 and 2024 elections. One issue has never been discussed on the internet, or as far as I know on the television news. Was sex once again an issue in the 2024 election as it was in 2016? It is no secret that the United States is the most prejudiced and bigoted country in the world of developed nations. These are the two reasons why America ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I admit to repeating myself. I have written similar articles before. However, it is more accurate today than ever before that God, if there is one, made one serious mistake. This one error in judgement will end His or Her greatest creation, the planet Earth. When I was a young man and learned about the tragedies occurring every day around the world, how the most disenfranchised people in the world suffered from disease, famine, wars, and genocide, I began to have my doubts about the existence of a God. I was raised a Catholic, attending Parochial schools for 10 years. We were taught the eight beatitudes. Two of them are why I began to question not only my religion, but all religions and their belief in a supernatural power who watched over us and cared for us. “Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.” “Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” These lessons...

Denying facts is standard operating procedure for right wing politicians. But the truth is undeniable: Trump is undoubtedly the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. Since 1981, politicians who sit on the right side of the aisle began a campaign to remove the darkest facts about our country’s darkest past. The most well-known issue has been slavery which began long before the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In 1619, the first slaves stepped onto the land of what would be a new nation. Although Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and the Union declared victory in the Civil War in 1865, racism continues to be as great a problem today as it was 406 years ago. The illegitimate inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, was a travesty for our entire nation. However, for minorities it was a confirmation that genocide is acceptable in America. Trump is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. He and his army of white supremacists attempted to overthrow...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Regardless of which major news network you watch or read, you are being lied to. The mainstream media fails to offer their viewers and readers the complete truth about anything political since 2016. It has been obvious over the last eight years that millionaires and billionaires stick together. It doesn’t matter to those reporting the news on television that all right-wing politicians have become the enemies of the majority. These professional politicians, (pardon the foul language), are millionaires and billionaires, and they are a small but powerful club which shares a common goal: more money. THE PLUTOCRACY GROWS In 2024 there are more than 22 million millionaires and 813 billionaires in America. These numbers increased over the pandemic. How? In America, money is king and the men and women who compose the working class are considered peasants. Unlike Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow, David Brinkley, and others who were paid working man’s wages for their rep...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   On Easter Sunday President Biden recognized a small and maligned group of Americans. Since 2009, March 31 st has been a day for recognizing the plight of Americans who identify themselves as transexuals. After mentioning this fact , t he President was immediately attacked by Trump and his Fascist Party, calling him everything imaginable including “ A Satan worshipper.”   I want to inform every member of the fake Republican Party that real Americans were already aware that they are racists, bigots, homophobes, and misogyni sts. We did not need additional proof.   Has Easter Sunday Become a Day to Celebrate Hatred and Prejudice?   It would appear that Easter Sunday is no longer a day for Christians to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but a day to express hatred and pr ejudice for anyone who is not white and heterosexual.   Diversity is America’s Greatness, and Includes Sexual Orien tation   Freedom is a word whi...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I was a young man, I listened to my grandfather and my uncles at family gatherings. At some point politics became the subject of discussion. I often heard them say that the two parties are almost the same. Nothing could be more inaccurate in 2024. Being in a room with a group of Democrats or a group of all Republicans would feel like two different countries. Let’s review some “Easter messages” from President Biden, Trump, and other anti-American, fake Republicans. [President Joe Biden released a statement in support of the 15th annual Transgender Day of Visibility, saying, “we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.”] This celebration began on March 31, 2009, and on the same day every following year. I will not offer you Trump’s excessively long and often repeat...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   For as long as I have been a political writer, I have claimed that Ronald Reagan is responsible for two things: our nation’s financial woes and the demise of the Grand Old Party. He not only admitted that his administration supported the super-rich, he bragged about it. He told his party and his wealthy supporters that “greed is good.”   Reagan was also responsible for the demise of the Grand Old Party, completed by Trump in 2017. He demanded complete loyalty and support from every Republican while abandoning the principles and standards of the former Party of Lincoln. He moved his party even farther to the right and extremism with his war on the working class, minorities, women, and non-Christians. Reagan is on my list of the five worst presidents in history. His fiscal policy of “supply side economics,” better known as “ trickle-down economics,” not only reduced the quality of life for most Americans, tax breaks for the super-rich and corporations...
