Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’m an old, angry man. My anger is mostly under control, with the exception of a few ‘crazy’ minutes every day. I have reasons for my rage, but the only one that matters is what is happening to my America. As most of you know, I am an original baby boomer. I was raised in Los Angeles, California, during a time of great change. I was far too young to understand or appreciate the gravity of the situation. In a very real way, the 1950s and 1960s were a bloodless revolution against the establishment. If you weren’t alive during those times, you will never understand most of what was happening away from the television cameras. ‘They’ called us “hippies,” flower children,” and other terms meant to be derogatory. However, we wore them as badges of honor. The United States of America had become a nation controlled by capitalism. Our leaders preferred war over peace. Wars were “good business.” Unfortunately, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s successors ignored his parting...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It was heart-warming to see Trump and Putin greet each other so warmly on the tarmac at Anchorage, Alaska’s, airport. It was awe-inspiring to see our fascist military roll out the red carpet for their future Commander-in-Chief. For a very short time, I believed Trump displayed more loyalty for his country than for Vlad. However, as I expected, it was simply a ruse. This pesky, old invasion of Ukraine, which was supposed to last less than a month, and has now exceeded three years and six months, keeps getting in the way of their dates. This bromance is very important to both dictators: they find it very difficult to make friends. Trump has expressed his admiration and respect for Putin between 80 and 100 times. The two evil old, white men share several inhuman traits and find in each other new ways to make the world a less safe and secure place for more than eight billion people. Both men fail to display a single redeeming quality. However, there is one huge diff...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What happened in Alaska was a farce and an embarrassment for all loyal Americans. It began with the military of the United States rolling out a red carpet for our country’s greatest enemy. Next came the illegitimate president/dictator of America displaying his fealty and devotion to the only man in the world who is worse than himself. The event was labeled as an effort to end the invasion of Ukraine. This in itself was another lie: a diversion. After three and one-half hours, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump stood before the television cameras and told the world that they accomplished nothing. However, that was not the truth. Putin told Trump what he wanted, no, demanded, and the rest of their private meeting was focused on completing their plans for the destruction of the American way of life. On Monday, Trump will meet with Ukraine President Zelenskyy in the White House. This meeting is also mislabeled. It will not be a meeting to discuss a negotiation between ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump and Putin are planning to meet again, this time in Alaska. The fate of Ukraine will be decided but President Zelenskyy will not be invited. The reason is very clear. As he has since 1987, Trump will do whatever Putin tells him to do. He still pulls the fat man’s strings. We know one thing, the two fascists will “agree” to the surrender of the entire Donetsk region to Putin. I’m sure that this is just the beginning. One thing Putin will never possess. He claimed that his invasion would be over in a few weeks. Putin underestimated the capabilities of the leaders of Ukraine’s army, who were far more skilled than those of the second most powerful nation in the world. Since February of 2022, the number of Russian soldiers injured are estimated between 790,000 and 1,000,000. The death toll is estimated at more than 250,000. About 13,000 Russian tanks were disabled, and about 12,000 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed. !6,000 artillery systems were destroye...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is very busy. Number one priority is chasing a little, white ball through a field of grass. Number two is partying with his oligarchs at his trashy and garish resort, Mar-a-Lago. Third is accomplishing Vladimir Putin’s goal to destroy America. Fourth is taking revenge on the men and women whose job it was to expose his crimes and treasonous actions against his own country. Historical records prove that Trump failed to produce a single positive accomplishment, to take a single action focused on improving the lives of the American people between 2017 and 2021. To the contrary, Trump is directly responsible for about 100,000 lives lost when he failed to lead our nation in the fight against Covid-19. In 2025, Trump 2.0 is far worse. He is not only breaking every campaign promise, he is destroying every accomplishment made by his predecessors over the last 72 years, beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower. His constitutional violations are too numerous to mention. ...

Trump’s actions in Los Angeles are an undeniable display of fascism. He will follow this disgusting attack on American values with a military parade on Sunday, his 79 th birthday, an action demanded exclusively by dictators. Hitler hated the Jews. Trump, in an act of “one upmanship,” revealed to us that he hates anyone who is not pure white and rich. What the mainstream media is not talking about speaks volumes. Dozens of fake journalists continue to show their support for Trump, not for the American people. Between January 20 and today, he has done nothing for 340 million American people. Not a single promise has been addressed. He continues to spend every rare minute he is in the White House seeking revenge and destroying the lives of innocent men, women, and children. The majority of his time has been spent chasing a small, white ball through the grass or rubbing shoulders with his oligarchs at Mar-a-Lago. As he did for four long years between 2017 and 2021, he continues to use his...

I was conceived in Seattle, Washington at the end of WWII. I was born in July of 1946 in Lewiston Idaho. My family moved to Los Angeles in 1952 where jobs were readily available. My father served in the United States Navy throughout the war. My mother was one of many “Rosie the Riveters” working at Boeing Aircraft. Everything I saw in my youngest years in public involved extreme patriotism. Flags were seen everywhere. Old posters like “Uncle Sam Needs You” were taped on the sides of buildings and on fences. Everything seemed to be painted red, white, and blue. My parents split up when I was about nine years old. My mother, brother, and I lived in a duplex near my maternal grandparents, and later to an apartment just a few doors down for my Catholic School and the church. When we got our first television with a nine-inch screen, the picture in black and white, a local television station broadcast a lot of movies: most of them were about the war, and starred John Wayne starred in many of...

I have long been aware that the first meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putin was in Moscow in 1987. The 41-year-old business failure was desperate to save his future. When he received an invitation from the KGB to come to Moscow, he and his first wife, Ivana, eagerly accepted the invitation. As you would expect, there are no records of the time they spent in the Russian capital. However, we do know that in the late 1980’s Putin was a high-ranking member of the spy agency, and a rising star in Russian politics. Between 1987 and 2013, there is no proof that the two men met again in person. However, when Trump’s real estate business began to fail during the time he was in Moscow, and continued into the 1990’s, Russian oligarchs began to invest in his New York and Florida properties and he was rescued from a bankruptcy and the likely demise of his “empire.” Then, in 2013, under the guise of taking the Miss Universe Pageant to Moscow, Trump once again traveled to the Russian capital. A fo...

Present at Trump’s inauguration were several oligarchs. In total there are 813 billionaires/oligarchs in the United States. Our nation’s economy has been based on capitalism for centuries, but devolved into a plutocracy between 2017 and 2021. All three branches of our government are controlled by right-wing extremists who are owned by Trump and his oligarchs. This is exactly the same situation in Russia. Putin and his oligarchs have been in complete control of an entire nation for decades. Anyone who dissents is punished. Trump is attacking everyone who disagrees with his fascist policies, or investigated his failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021.          Recently Trump added another tactic used by both Adolf Hitler and Putin. He barred legitimate news agencies from the White House. Coincidence? Not on your life. Okay, maybe you don’t care about Trump’s lies. In 2015 he was asked about Putin. His response was: “I never met the man.” Records...

Inside the most depressed person, there are memories of joy and happiness. The mind can easily be overcome by darkness and despair. However, the good remains but is easily subdued by the weakness of emotions which are very dark and very destructive. There is no doubt that emotions like anger, hatred, envy, revenge, and self-loathing take control when a man looks at himself in the mirror and sees insecurity, failure, and total incompetence. Over the years memories of past successes and joy, both small and large, become memories buried too deep to recall. Donald Trump is a man shaped by his own misdeeds, need for relevance, deep insecurity, and total disregard for others. He is the definition of an all-consuming disease. Malignant Narcissism : [Malignant narcissism is not a formal diagnosis, but instead a common term used to describe a person with traits and symptoms of both narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Also called pathological narci...

Trump is destroying our country and his traitorous party continues to support him. Democrats are verbally denouncing his actions, but are doing nothing. Yesterday 10 Democratic Senators voted in favor of the disastrous funding bill to prevent a government shutdown, including Chuck Schumer. This offered proof once and for all that Democrats are worthless cowards who will never do the right thing regardless of the consequences. Their careers are more important than their country. All politicians who call themselves “Republicans” serve their Fuhrer. They are allowing Trump to destroy democracy, and eventually the country of our Founding Fathers. They are fully aware that Putin is the orange buffoon’s handler. The bottom line is that the midterm elections are more important than ever. As a lifelong Independent, I don’t want to vote for anyone. It appears that I’m wasting my time and energy. No one in power gives a damn about the future of the United States of America. I hate it, by I may b...

I read excerpts of Trump’s very long and very boring speech on Tuesday evening. Above all, he failed to tell us anything he has accomplished which would improve our nation’s future. Once again, most of his time has been spent chasing a little white ball through the grass and sand. It is 100 percent clear that Musk is making all of the big decisions. In 78 years, Trump has never worked a single day in his pitiful life. I was slightly surprised when he openly attacked Democrats and Independents for disagreeing with his vile and fascist agenda. What the fuck did he expect? Is he that stupid? He is a Russian agent, and Russia remains our greatest enemy 77-year-old congressman Al Green refused to cease his verbal attacks against the wannabe Fuhrer, and was escorted out of the building. Of course when bitch Marjorie Taylor Green harassed President Biden incessantly, nothing happened. Now pretend Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson says Mr. Green will be censured. The word is “HYPOCRISY” What ...

Trump and his gestapo must be stopped. The stories coming from illegally fired federal employees are reminiscent of what happened in 1930’s Germany under the horrific rule of Adolf Hitler. The truth is, Trump and Musk are following Hitler’s Mein Kampf and his own Project 2025 to the letter. Trump is following, his Project 2025 exactly, and acting like the dictator he promised to be. I read about a great deal of unrest from Democrats, the military, and voters, both Democrats and Republicans. Words are just hot air and will accomplish nothing. It’s time to drag Trump out of the White House by his cheap toupee and put him in a federal holding cell. He has been allowed to begin the destruction of our country while violating the Constitution and abusing his presidential powers long enough. Your illegitimate president should never have been allowed to take the oath of office. First and foremost, he has no intention of keeping that oath. Secondly, he is unfit to be our nation’s president if y...

The list of suspects begins in Moscow with Vladimir Putin. Move to the United States and the list includes some of the dumbest, most racist and anti-American people on earth. Great wealth does not generate great intelligence. On the list is Stephen Miller, Robert Mercer, the billionaire who ran Trump’s campaign in the last months of 2016, and the man referred to as the “co-president,” Elon Musk. Recent observations of Trump in the White House, and Musk’s invasions into government agencies for which he has never obtained a security clearance, suggests that Trump is a tool, not a legitimate president. The billionaire who knows nothing about how governments function, has apparently increased his efforts to take complete control of Washington. Although he is one of our nation’s 756 oligarchs, he had no powers until Trump surrendered most of his decisions to the demands of Musk. Trump created a fictional department for Musk to run, the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. However, it ...

He hates my country. His loyalty is to Vladimir Putin, not to the American people. He not only violated the Constitution every day he was in office between 2017 and 2021, he continues attempts to shred our nation’s most sacred document with the exception of the Second Amendment, (He is indebted to the NRA). By his own words and actions, Trump is not an American. He cannot be given the label of “the American President.” He will lie with every word when he takes the oath of office on Monday. On Monday, I will celebrate a great man who deserves my respect, Dr. Martin Luther King, and look forward the CFB National Championship game tomorrow evening. As another dark moment in America’s history begins at 9 a.m. my time, I will be having breakfast and watching some television consisting of anything other than another embarrassing moment in my country’s history. Trump never was and never will be my president. I have followed politics in America to some degree since I was 10 years old in 1956. ...

I criticize our government and the mainstream media because everything I write is true. For example, over the last nine years, I revealed a fact which everyone knows, including our leaders in Washington: Vladimir Putin is Trump’s handler, and it is Putin who pulls Trump’s strings and controls our nation’s future. Every man and woman in our government was aware that Putin interfered in our 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections, and he was successful. These were acts of war, but no one suggested a suitable and appropriate response. How many members of our government are loyal to Putin and not to the American people? Courage to simply do the right thing is the missing component in our government today. Putin is Hitler without the bravado and screaming. His goal always has been world domination, and that begins and ends with the fall of the United States. The invasion of Ukraine was not only illegal and immoral, it was a big mistake. Putin’s forces have been decimated, and the financial cost is o...

On November 9, 2016 when the nightmare became a reality, I was very aware that four years of an illegitimate Trump presidency would be very bad. However, I underestimated both his incompetence and his lack of average intelligence. His fake presidency was 100 times worse than I imagined. Trump intentionally divided our nation’s people to a level not seen since the Civil War. He trashed the Constitution on a daily basis as he made it perfectly clear that he would punish all non-whites, the LGBTQ community, anyone who challenged his doomed to fail policies, his belief that women had only one purpose, and displayed his support of a plutocracy, believing that simply being wealthy made you more intelligent and qualified for anything you desired. Then, during the last days of his illegitimate presidency, he committed the most heinous crimes of all. On January 6, 2021, he committed treason as he planned, organized, and executed a failed coup. On January 20, 2021, as he was evicted from the Whi...

The media won’t say it. Democrats are cowards and won’t say it. Trump is not a man, he is a puppet: specifically Putin’s puppet, and has been since 1987. In 1987 the KGB invited Donald Trump and his wife, Ivana, to visit Moscow. They accepted, and spent several days in the Russian capital. In the late 1980’s Putin was a high-ranking officer in the spy organization. The next record we have is in 2013. Trump was a part-owner of the Miss Universe Pageant. He took the pageant to Moscow. A former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, investigated the three days and wrote a dossier describing Trump’s actions. He claims that Trump and Putin met at least once to plan the 2016 election. He also wrote about Trump’s encounter with two prostitutes which involved urination. We know that while he was pretending to be your president, he communicated with Putin frequently. Some of those conversations may have been through a secret channel created in the Seychelles Islands by Erik Prince, the bother of forme...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The year was 1987. A 41-year-old Donald Trump, and his wife, Ivana, were invited to Moscow by the KGB. They accepted. Vladimir Putin began his career with the KGB in 1975. He reached a position of power in the spy agency in the late 1980’s, resigning in 1991 to achieve his political ambitions. Although there is no record of the events which occurred in 1987, it is fair to say that it was during this visit to Moscow when Trump and Putin began a relationship. However, while campaigning in 2016, Trump lied, saying, “I never met the man.” During the 2016 campaign, a dossier composed by former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, was released. The subject was Trump’s visit to Moscow in 2013. As part owner of the Miss Universe Pageant, Trump participated in a number of events over the three days. The document contains allegations about how Putin and Trump completed plans to steal the 2016 election during those few days. In October of 2016, a meeting in the Oval...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Not a single legitimate television show would have him as a guest. You receive a badge of honor if you criticize him and he attacks you with nonsensical attacks. This is how we learned about the most immature, obese, old, white man in the world and why intelligent people laugh at Donald John Trump. Any man nearing 80 years of age who is obviously immature either possesses a low level of intelligence or is in the middle stages of senility. We know that Trump is a malignant narcissist, in fact he is the poster boy for this malady. It is fair to assume that his “disease” is becoming a much greater problem as he is soon to become an octogenarian. These are not “normal times.” Throughout my 77 years, 66 of which I followed politics in America, I witnessed many situations which forced presidential candidates to resign. At the top of the list is morals involving issues such as infidelity, sexual inuendo, sexual assault, and lying to the American people about any of the...
