  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Republicans are incapable of leading America. This was proven most recently by Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. They caused enormous damage to our economy and are responsible for the increase in our national debt and income inequality thanks to their use of “trickle-down economics.” Let’s focus on how important accomplishments are not possible without Democratic leadership. HELP FROM AMERICA’S GREATEST PRESIDENT I would be happy to debate two issues with anyone: in our nation’s history, who were the greatest and the worst presidents? Although it didn’t require a group of presidential historians to decide that Donald John Trump will forever be the worst president in American history, I’m glad they confirmed what we already knew. Not only did he fail to accomplish one thing in four years, he attempted to overthrow our government before being evicted from the White House. He brags about many things, none of them true,

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here are the facts. On November 5, 2024 the American people will choose the man who will lead our nation for the next four years. This man must be an American citizen who will keep his oath to serve every American and preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Tradition demands that he be qualified for the office he seeks, and possess a strong moral character. By law, he must be at least 35 years of age, and a natural born citizen who has been a resident of the United States for 14 consecutive years. ACCORDING TO THESE STANDARDS, ONLY ONE LEGITIMATE CANDIDATE WILL BE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER Other than the last sentence I previously wrote, only President Biden is qualified to be our nation’s president. Trump is unfit for any office at any level. I’m going to forget the fact that the 14 th Amendment prevents Trump from running for office, and the Court ignored the Constitution. Let’s take a look at everything else which prev

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump and his pretend Republican Party fear one thing more than anything else: the truth. I am saddened that I don’t have a million followers who cannot wait to read my blog daily. However, I will tell you once again about the most important issue in every election year, the economy. I’m going to take you back to 1981. Republicans would like you to believe that Ronald Reagan was a great president. This is far from the truth. In my estimation, he is listed in the category of the five worst presidents in history. The Corruption Which Exists in Washington Today Began in 1981 The truth about Reagan is revealed in his domestic policy. Reagan was the first Republican president to demand unquestioned loyalty from his party. Free thought and opposition to our 40 th president’s policies were forbidden. The entire right side of the Capitol Building was united against the left side, and occasionally each other.. It was Reagan who began the wars on the working class

Op-ed by TheWiseOld Fart   A recent poll of presidential scholars ranked our nation’s presidents 1-45, Grover Cleveland was elected twice, but not consecutively, from best to worst. I agree with one of their findings but disagree with others. My criteria are much less convoluted. I rate presidents by what they accomplished for the American people or for the damage they caused while pretending to be an American President.   Although it is very close , I will always believe that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the greatest president in history. Every action by the president who served longer than any other was in service of the majority.   Lincoln, Washington, T. Roosevelt, and Jefferson would follow, but this is where my differences begin.   Placing Truman in sixth place is an honor he does not deserve. Other than the fact that he was well-known as a racist and bigot, in my estimation he was the greatest mass murderer in history. He made a single decision based on expediency to take th

Op-ed by TheWiseOld Fart   In 1989 Reagan left office. Our country was in debt for more than one-trillion dollars. His ludicrous fiscal policy of “supply side economics,” better known as “trickle-down economics,” put money in the pockets of the super-rich, while stagnating the economic growth of the working class. This led to a huge national debt thanks to diminshing tax revenue from those who could most easily afford to pay their fair share.   His Republican successor, Vice-President George H.W. Bush, continued this failed policy and was subsequently forced out of office after one term.   Enter Democrat William Jefferson Clinton in 1993. When he left the White House in 2001, the national debt was eradicated, and America’s national treasury experienced a surplus of funds.   His successor should have been Vice-President Al Gore, who would have continued efforts to grow the economy for all Americans, but a politically biased Supreme Court illegally interfered in the election process an
