Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In October of 2024, Trump knew he would be given a victory on November 5 th . In 2016 he was honestly surprised that he had become our nation’s 45 th and first illegitimate president. He knew that Putin was behind the scenes, doing everything possible to guarantee a win for fascism, however, he did not know what Putin knew: he couldn’t lose. In 2024, he was aware of the truth: the fix was in. He would win all seven swing states and the popular vote. This all seemed impossible. His hate rallies were sparsely attended, and the results of the 2020 election revealed the fact that most Americans despised the worst illegitimate president in history. The second time around, Trump was prepared: not to lead our country, but to accomplish Putin’s goals for America’s future. He possesses a 922-page guide, which listed plans to destroy our democratic nation. It is called “Project 2025.” The following presents a small section of his agenda, written weeks before the election...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I challenge the mainstream media to live up to its responsibility and tell the truth. Our Founding Fathers gave them First Amendment protection for a single reason: they were to expose corruption in government. However, since 1981, they have failed the American people. A little-known threat was made by congress. They were told that if stories they did not want to be told appeared in the news, their “sources” would disappear, and their careers in jeopardy. Almost immediately any stories about corruption on Capitol Hill either disappeared or were incomplete. In the 21 st century, there exists only one way to be completely positive that a pending story involves corruption comes from these five words: “for reasons of national security.” This, and the fact that “sensationalism” increases viewership, and an increase in ratings encourages an increase in advertising revenue, is why the “real Donald Trump” has not been fully exposed over the last 10 years. However, over...

It’s composed of 922 pages of instructions designed to end democracy in America and remove the First Amendment from the Bill of Rights. Included in the Fascist Manifesto are suggestions about how to abolish the Department of Education, recreate our country’s already failed healthcare system with provisions which would offer care exclusively for the white, wealthy and powerful, and a guideline to remove any historical facts about slavery, homophobia, and efforts by women to obtain complete equality with men. It also contains plans to make Christianity the only true religion in the United States. Trump and his American Fascist Party are destroying everything of value which made America the most respected nation in the world. The principles, morals, and ideals of our Founding Fathers will be nothing but a memory long before Trump completes his first year as your illegitimate president. The one tactic used by your illegitimate president since 2015 does not belong to him, but to one of his ...

I am a novelist. If I wrote the saga of Donald John Trump, no one would buy the book. The story would be too dark, and upsetting to capture a reader’s interest. Here’s a quick rundown of the despicable life of an old, obese man who chose to be the worst person in the world. Trump was born on June 15, 1946 into a life of luxury and extreme white privilege. No one knew that his birth would become the greatest tragedy in the history of the United States of America. Apparently, by the age of 13, his parents had tired of living with their son. He was sent to a military boarding school. Trump finished his time in the boarding school in 1964. I share several important periods in our nation’s history with the man I have learned to hate, having been born in July of 1946. However, our paths were very different. I graduated from high school in that same year. The illegal war in Vietnam began to escalate. At the age of 18, and the military draft still in effect, young men my age faced the probabil...

Trump’s primary effort in 2017 and for the next four years was to divide our nation’s people. The plan, co-created by his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin, worked very well. “Divide and conquer” was their motto, and because most Americans learn everything they know from television, it was a major success. During the 2024 campaign, empty seats dominated the stories about Trump’s hate rallies. That was just the beginning. Kamala Harris received massive amounts of campaign donations, far surpassing those of the old man. After another election, which I am convinced was once again rigged by Putin, Trump is extremely unpopular with the two most important groups: Democrats and Independents. Once again, I believe our corrupt government is hiding the truth, hiding their incompetence. There are signs at every protest calling Trump what he is, a fascist, and demanding his removal from the White House. The right wing’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, is being checked off plan by plan. The 922-page docum...

Bessent is not quite a billionaire, yet, but he is a perfect example of how ignorant Trump’s administration is. Scott Bessent is Trump’s unqualified Treasury Secretary. He is not one of the billionaires on Trump’s cabinet, but he is worth 521 million dollars. This one fact prevents the old, white man from understanding what it is to be a real American in the 21 st century. What they're saying: "There is a little uncertainty, but in general, the companies I've spoken to, CEOs, who have come into Treasury tell me that the economy is very solid," Bessent said at a conference hosted by the American Bankers Association. Really? Nobody asked me. I can offer you one fact, one example of how ignorant this Trump stooge actually is. My wife and I worked for about 40 years each. We chose our professions badly. The only retirement income we have is what we paid for: our Social Security. In January we received a 2.5 percent increase in our monthly checks. However, the cost of nec...

It’s obvious that Trump and his co-conspirator, Musk, don’t care, but a revolution is beginning across America. The policies of these old, white men are so vile and offensive, a ground swell of angry protesters are filling town halls across America directing their anger at Republican politicians. At the same time, Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders and New York Representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are holding rallies in opposition to the current plutocracy and the fact that Trump is surrendering America to his 813 oligarchs, and drawing huge crowds of supporters. Facts: Trump, Musk, and their party are Nazis forcing their fascist agenda on the American people. A plutocracy, rule by the super-rich, cannot exist when a democratic government is in control. Trump’s plan is to end democracy, and establish a fascist regime, with himself as its Fuhrer. Don’t believe me? Read the Republican Party’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, and you will quickly learn the truth. Very few Democrats and I...

Political writers claim the results of the 2024 election were based on one single promise made by a pathological liar. Trump said: “I will end inflation on day one.” Personally, I do not agree with the reasons offered by others for Trump’s questionable victory on November 5, 2024. However, I may be wrong and what was in reality “Greedflation” continues to grow today. Not once has Trump mentioned a single effort on his part to address the issue. The fact is that his ill-advised tariffs will be in effect today and the prices of necessities will rise even higher. In 1992, Democratic political strategist, James Carville, spoke to the press about the coming election. For 12 years Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush destroyed our nation’s economy, adding trillions of dollars to the national debt. They shared the same belief in “trickle-down economics:” give money to the rich and they will increase employment and therefore grow the economy. They were terribly wrong. When ...

  Co-president, Elon Musk, finished a speech at another Trump hate rally on Monday with the words, “thank you for making it happen.” Then he did something which might have surprised some, but not yours truly. He gave the crowd the infamous Nazi salute. Musk placed his right hand over his heart and snapped his arm forward at a 45-degree angle. Of course the buffoon denied any intent to pay homage to Hitler, Putin, Trump or their fascist beliefs. In response, the SpaceX and Tesla chief posted on X: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired." However, he repeated the gesture, confirming that he was fully aware of what it signified. "My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," the 53-year-old said, after giving the second one-armed salute. Okay, let’s discuss a few of the issues which confirm your new president is a Nazi. Trump has surrounded himself with many of our nati...

  There remain just 18 days until Beelzebub crawls from his lair in South Florida and takes his place on the throne in the mighty city of Washington. Flee if you can, and if you cannot, arm yourself and prepare, for the worst is yet to come. If you thought that the years between 2017 and 2018 were time spent in hell, just wait. Beelzebub Trump will once again bring his destructive force to the White House. He is once again armed with an army fueled by fear, anger, hatred, and eager to commit violence against the masses, but he is now a vengeful god escaped from the underworld. This time Beelzebub Trump has a fascist manifesto composed for him by the right-wing extremist Heritage Foundation with the assistance of former aides who worked for Trump in his previous administration. It is a 922-page document called “Project 2025.” Its content originated during Trump’s many hate rallies beginning in 2015. However, Trump lied when questions were asked about its contents. "I know nothing a...

I remember Republicans. As a 78-year-old lifelong Independent voter, I was offered a choice when I went to the polls. I admit that most of the time the Democratic candidate received my vote. The policies of most Republicans were too regressive, and my beliefs are more progressive. Change is always necessary, but sometimes change moves an entire nation in the wrong direction. Sadly, the once Grand Old Party took its final breath on the morning of January 20, 2017. It is an undeniable fact that between 2017 and 2021, the backwards policies of the Trump administration destroyed many of the accomplishments made over the previous 60-70 years. Hate crimes rose by 800 percent as Blacks, Hispanics, non-Christians, the LGBTQ community, and women in general were verbally and physically assaulted as your president continued to use rhetoric focused on fear, anger, and hatred. He encouraged violence in his name and his supporters eagerly responded. Domestic terrorism became the greatest threat to t...

During his first illegitimate term pretending to be your president, Trump attempted to dismantle NATO, threatening to withdraw America from its leadership. First, another fact the mainstream media will always hide from you. Vladimir Putin openly expressed his desire to end the United States of America in the 1980’s, as a high-ranking officer in the KGB. His first plan included ending the NATO alliance. Putin has been enemy number one for America since he rose to power 40 years ago. Another fact: the existence of NATO and the inclusion of Article 5, is the only reason there has not been a WWIII. Article 5 includes a promise that if one member is attacked, all members have been attacked and will respond as one. Without NATO, Russia, China, and North Korea would have joined together to attack multiple nations in Europe, Asia, and most certainly the United States long ago. Humanity is a race eager for ultimate power, and wars are its tools. Mankind is too ignorant to learn lessons from cen...

Rules are broken. The Constitution is a list of rules, promises, and guarantees. However, Trump violated the Constitution every day between 2017 and 2021 and congress nor the Supreme Court did anything to punish our nation’s biggest traitor. Recently exposed is Trump’s plan to employ Hitler’s use of Germany’s military to destroy the lives of an entire race of people he despises. Hitler waged a personal war against the Jewish people. Trump will use our nation’s military to complete his promise of Hispanic mass deportation and possible genocide almost immediately after January 20 th . They voted in large numbers for the orange buffoon and will now suffer for their stupidity. I have labeled Trump a fascist for more than a decade, and he continues to prove my allegations. It is now an undeniable fact the fascism arrived in the White House on January 20, 2017. It was in the form of an obese, old, white man who loved to hug the flag, sold bibles to enhance his personal wealth, and continues ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If our nation loses its collective mind and gives Trump four more years to destroy our country, within his first year fascism will replace democracy, and Vladimir Putin will be the person controlling everything which happens in America. Freedom in every form will be quashed by Trump and Putin. Free thought, free speech, and free and fair elections will no longer exist. Trump’s failures destroyed our economy. Nearly 300,000 jobs were lost permanently. The national debt rose by eight trillion dollars. And nothing of importance was accomplished for the majority in four, long years. Trump intentionally divided or nation to a level not seen since the first Civil War. Lies and conspiracy theories replaced the truth and facts as millions of our nation’s people chose to be ignorant. Throughout all of this, FOX News continued to lead the way, producing more lies than Trump himself. It exposed itself once and for all as a right-wing extremist propaganda machine. Truth was...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The GOP is whining because after Trump’s former Chief of Staff, John Kelly, confirmed his appraisal of his former boss as a definition of the term “fascist,” Kamala Harris agreed. The truth hurts. One of their facetious claims is that it could encourage another assassination attempt on their former president. I remain skeptical about the credibility of the first two. I have never read an explanation for one legitimate question: where did the bullet go after it allegedly struck Trump in the ear? Did he use the professional wrestler’s trick of using a razorblade to cut his own ear? Trump’s own words prove that he is a Neo-Nazi. Fascism: “a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition.” Trump’s stacked Supreme Court made all of this possible. Trump’s plans for America’s future contained in Project 2025, are a compilation of Tru...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, agrees with me: Trump is undoubtedly a fascist. The truth is more upsetting than the fact that one man who wants to be your president hates democracy. The reality is one entire political party has morphed from being the “Grand Old Party,” or the Party of Lincoln, and is now Trump’s “American Fascist Party.” It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the right-wing’s extremist list of plans and policies, labeled “Project 2025,” is a 922-page revival of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” To deny this fact is to choose ignorance over reality. Your vote is guaranteed by the First Amendment. However, it is more than a right, it is a responsibility. Vote and vote for yourself and those you love. Kamala Harris in 2024.

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s another election year. The most important right guaranteed to all Americans is your right to vote. With that right comes great responsibility. If you vote for a party, casting aside consideration for who might be the best candidate for our nation’s future, you are not a patriotic American. Political parties are the problem, not the solution. They are not concerned with rebuilding our dysfunctional government. They seek power and wealth. Patriot: “a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.” Hugging the flag, wearing a hat with a slogan intended to be patriotic but is in fact racist, and constantly suggesting that our country is a disaster, does not make you a patriot. The facts prove that Trump is our nation’s enemy. WHO IS DONALD JOHN TRUMP AND WHAT ARE HIS PARTY OF EXTREMISTS? With 922 pages of plans for our nation’s future, Project 2025 is filled with an agenda which can only be described as ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I can’t help but think, “what would Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, and John Kennedy be thinking today about the worst government in the world?”   For the first time in my life, I know that all three branches of our government are corrupt, and nothing will change without courage and determination by our nation’s people. However, If I can j udge today’s America by the polls, the dream of our Founding Fathers is about to take its last breaths.   All of our nation’s great leaders would be shocked to know that a man who attempted to overthrow our government was allowed to run for office, and even more so that he had millions of supporters.   WORSE THAN ANY THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY   Let’s look at this year’s election honestly, not politically.   I remember my first presidential election. I turned 21 in 1967, and in 1968 I would be voting for the man who would lead my beloved country for the ne xt f...
