Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I consider myself an intelligent person. I am not close to the “genius” category, but I stay informed, think before I make another mistake, and the people I admire most cherish their right to free and independent thought: they are not “joiners.” Like most intelligent people, I continue to ask one question: “how is it possible that 10 years later the worst person in the world continues to have loyal supporters?” It’s called “Trumpism.” As the 2024 campaign lingered on, it is true that although attendance at Trump’s hate rallies rapidly declined, millions of men and women with questionable loyalty to their country continued to praise their failed Fuhrer. I see only three reasons why anyone would continue to support a traitor, a convicted felon, a self-admitted sexual predator, and an old, obese, white man who is incapable and unwilling to serve all Americans: ignorance, denial, and chosen ignorance. Trump either cannot read and comprehend what he is required to re...

(I didn’t plan for this to be so long.)   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Although the event’s beginning was two years earlier in Moscow, on June 16, 2015 an old, obese, failed and crooked businessman took the long ride down several escalators inside Trump Tower on 5 th Avenue in New York. He could have taken the elevator. However, he was and is afflicted with a mental disease called “malignant narcissism.” His greatest need, soothing an inflated ego, required him to make what he believed was a ‘grand entrance.’ The man with orange skin was about to announce his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2016. Personally, I found the staged event comical. I knew a little about Donald John Trump, and his entire life was a caricature of a man in search of power and great wealth. He had never accomplished anything for another human being in his pitiful life. He celebrated his 69 th birthday on June 15, and the biggest joke should have been the fact that a 70-year-old...

I do not work for the mainstream media, and therefore I am not required to hide the truth or bow to our corrupt and incompetent government. I can ask the questions and report the truth they cannot or will not. So, here goes. Not one of Trump’s selections for his administration is qualified for anything, definitely not leading some of our nation’s most critical and necessary organizations. However, of all the morons on his naughty or nice list, the greatest fool of them all is now apparently living at Mar-a-Lago. Elon Musk if a billionaire, in fact he is statistically the richest man in the world. Most of the world’s leader believe that Putin is the richest man in the world. However, great wealth has no relationship to great intellect, or even common sense. Like Trump, Musk knows nothing about anything. He is undoubtedly a great engineer, but that’s where his expertise begins and ends. He has no place, no right to be involved in our nation’s government. He has no experience, no associat...
