To understand our nation’s up and down economy, we must look at the fiscal policies of every president since 1981. It was 43 years ago when Ronald Reagan became our country’s 40 th president. He revealed his fiscal policy which he called “supply side economics.” This misleading term led to a more accurate description known as “trickle-down economics.” Reagan originated the Republican Party’s current policy of focusing on the success of the super-rich. He claimed that if their huge corporations were profitable, in turn they would create jobs and the foundation of a capitalistic society, consumerism, would grow exponentially. Of course his policy failed miserably. Billionaires care about no one and nothing else other than increasing their already ludicrous personal wealth. When Reagan left office in 1989, unemployment was at 10 percent and rising, and the national debt reached an unfathomable one-trillion dollars. His successor, Republican George H.W. Bush continued Reagan’s policy of g...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If Trump is not the evilest man in the world, he’s in the top three. He has no shame; his inflated ego and affliction with malignant narcissism will not allow reality to invade his little brain. The orange buffoon was in Michigan today. When he learned about President Biden making the decision to end his campaign, he acted as I predicted. Trump immediately made up a silly and senseless attack on his new rival. "Kamala, I call her laughing Kamala. Did you ever watch her laugh? She is crazy. You can tell a lot by a laugh. She's crazy. She's nuts. She is not as crazy as Nancy Pelosi. Crazy Nancy." Just as I said in an earlier article, Trump is a sexist and his remarks confirm my allegations. If you look at Trump closely, you immediately become aware that he is afraid of strong women. Over the past nine years his most frequent attacks were focused on Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton. He is now turning his attention to Kamala Harris. WITHOUT A SENSE...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If the former Fourth Estate was performing as intended, President Biden’s approval rating would be in the 60’s or higher. Our nation’s economy is better than it has been since 2001. The United States once again has the strongest economy in the world as it did prior to the George W. Bush administration. Three Democratic Presidents, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, rescued our nation from the fiscal incompetence of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump. Over the last 43 years Republicans offered irrefutable facts that they are incapable of governing 330 million people. They continue to serve special interests while ignoring the needs and wishes of 95 percent of our nation’s people. The Best of the Best Clinton left office in 2001. For the first time in decades our nation’s treasury registered a surplus; completely out of debt. Obama left office in 2017. He repaired the damage caused by Bush 43’s failed fiscal policy of “trickl...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   In another demonstration of his adamant beliefs in racism and bigotry, and unable to criticize her for her position on the issues, Trump is attacking Nikki Haley for not using her birth name. You see, Ms. Haley’s ancestors came to America from India, and although she has always used her middle name, “Nikki,” her birth name is “Nimbra.” My family’s origin is Prussian. I have been called “James” all of my life. However, its origin is from the name “Jakob.” So what? Although today’s fake Republicans attempt to deny this fact, we are all immigrants. Donald Trump’s family changed their surname from “Drumpf” to Trump. The primary reason, according to history, is based on the fact that the Drumpf family left Germany in disgrace and was not allowed to return. Like his Grandson, Friederich Drumpf was a draft dodger. This is why the family attempted to hide the fact that they are German immigrants. The truth is the worst president in American history, who has become...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   “Jan. 6 was not an isolated event. The problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a long time now and it’s not going away anytime soon,” Wray told lawmakers. “At the FBI, we’ve been sounding the alarm on it for a number of years.” The former was a statement by FBI Director Christopher Wray on March 2, 2021. Today we learned that in 2023 at least 650 acts of domestic terrorism in the form of mass shootings joined every year since 2017 when the number of such atrocities exceeded the number of days on the calendar. Is this acceptable? If you said, “yes,” you are obviously a member of one of America’s numerous Neo-Nazi groups: “Trump’s people.” If not, you care about your safety and the safety of your family and friends. You believe that we should not have to feel fear leaving our homes to attend a concert, a movie, shop at a mall or grocery store, go to a gym, have drinks with friends at a bar, attend services at a church, syn...
