Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Our government is so f**ked up, I don’t have the time or patience to write about everything that is wrong with America today. Let me offer just a few of the moronic things that happened in the last couple of weeks, and tell me if our government can be repaired, and if our country can be saved.. Members of the House, Democrat and Republican, failed to expel George Santos from his position. He is a fraud, a charlatan, a habitual liar who is now hated by the people of New York who elected him. Today he is facing multiple charges of felony fraud. He is a poster boy for today’s fake Republicans. Nothing is real about the once Grand Old Party. The truth is, the Party of Lincoln took its last breath six years ago. My second story is serious, definitely not humorous. Republicans in the House chose a man to be the next Speaker who is not only unqualified, he is an election denier, and a religious freak. Mike Johnson is already the worst Speaker in American history. Aft

The men and women who call themselves Republicans in the 21 st century understand that the truth is the enemy of autocrats and their efforts to end democracy. The accurate term is censorship and is being conducted by traitors to our way of life. The past is of greater importance than immediate concerns about the future. If we fail to learn from our mistakes, we will make them again and again. Nothing proves this fact more accurately than the four years between 2017 and 2021.

Freedoms, guaranteed by the Constitution, were gradually removed. The second Civil War had begun. Advances in human rights over the previous 60-70 years were under attack and the future of America remains in the balance. The path to fascism begins with the remova

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   For four years Trump was the “Don” of the Washington Mafia. He and his army remain free and are allowed to spread their lies, conspiracy theories, and divide our nation irrevocably. During the 2016 campaign Trump told his cult that he ‘could shoot someone in Times Square and nothing would happen.’ He believed then that he was above the law. In two impeachment trials, Moscow Mitch McConnell proved that he was, and today our entire government in Washington refuses to place him in a federal prison although the world knows he is the greatest criminal in American history. Donald Trump is what he has been for 77 years. His actions between 2017 and 2021 were expected if you read the facts about his pitiful life, a life void of accomplishments and composed of criminal actions and lascivious events which should have prevented his victory in 2016. The truth is simple: Republican politicians and Republican voters are to blame for everything wrong with America today. The
