Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One of the darkest days in American history occurred on June 24, 2022. On this day a Supreme Court, stacked by Trump and Moscow Mitch McConnell, voted to repeal Roe v Wade. Women no longer received federal protection for their Constitutional right to choose how to protect their own physical and mental health. We knew that overturning a nearly 50-year-old decision by a legitimate Court would have serious repercussions, but the six justices who voted for the repeal of Roe v. Wade didn’t care and were woefully unfit to sit on the highest Court in the land. Just over two years later, the statistics are dismal, and statistics do not lie. One of these statistics voids the claims of one of the owners of today’s fake Republican Party, the Christian Religious Right. More babies are dying during childbirth or just after now that Roe v Wade is no longer federal law. About 247 infants are losing their fight for life each month. That is nearly 3,000 babies lost each year, an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Today, July 4, 2024, all real Americans celebrate the Birth of the New Nation, now 248 years old.. Our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. I can’t imagine the excitement Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, and the others felt as their dream had begun. The war with England was underway. The Revolutionary War began in Lexington and Concord in April of 1775, and would not end until September of 1783. The United States of America has often been described as “the Great Experiment.” Most factors were against the success of a new nation, founded on freedom and equality for all. The two primary principles were the elimination of an autocratic form of government and prevent what happened in England, and the final reason our Founding Fathers came to the New World, religious persecution. 248 YEARS LATER, WILL OUR SECOND PRESIDENT’S WORDS BECOME REALITY? “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders its...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every politician’s biggest lie: “America is the greatest country in the world.” A study including 15 nations places the United States in 15 th place when studying the quality of life for the average citizen. Politician’s second biggest lie is: “America is the richest nation in the world.” I have no idea which of our American people they are speaking about. One-half of all Americans live in the low-income level or below the poverty line. More than 500,000 Americans are homeless. However, Republicans on the Supreme Court just told us, “it’s not our problem.” COMPASSION HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH AVARICE AND A DESIRE FOR CONTROL OVER ANYONE WHO IS NOT EXTREMELY WEALTHY The number of Americans having no permanent place to live is on the rise. Very few cities have a sufficient number of buildings which offer low-income housing. As home prices continue to increase nationwide, and apartment rents skyrocket, the only choice for many of our nation’s people is to sleep in pa...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I still feel the sadness and the emotional pain when it became real that Moscow Mitch McConnell, in concert with the Federalist Society, had stacked the Supreme Court with right-wing extremists. No longer would the highest Court in the land be the only branch of our to government to save the Constitution and therefore democracy in America. I remain ‘on the fence’ about John Roberts, but I am absolutely positive that five of the justices on today’s Court are wearing white robes which have been dyed black. Their beliefs are so far to the right it is clear that they support replacing democracy with fascist rule. Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have been patiently waiting for the time when their reasons for being on the Court were fulfilled. They have been on the Court since 1991 and 2006. Trump and Moscow Mitch added two men and one woman who were unfit to serve on the highest Court in the land, but would join with other politically biased men and gain the ultimat...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If there is a single “undecided” voter in America, where the f**k have you been living over the last nine years? The mainstream media kept Trump on the front page of nearly every on-line and in-print news publication for nearly a decade. It has been the goal of the malignant narcissist, but not good for the American people. It will always be our nation’s greatest disgrace that Trump was allowed to defile the White House for four years. However, desperate for readers, someone decided to poll “undecided voters” recently. I would like to know where they found a sufficient number to conduct a poll. THE SAME FEAR ALL LOYAL AMERICANS HAVE The poll which was taken used several tools to learn why they claim to be undecided. One of the questions asked was, “what is your greatest fear about another Trump presidency?” The answer mimics the reason not a single patriotic American wants Trump to wear the label of “President” again. We, and they, believe that he ...

Op­-ed by TheWiseOldFart We have known for a long time that Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginny, are supporters of the leader of fascism in America, Donald Trump. Recently Justice Samuel Alito confirmed his allegiance to the orange buffoon. Therefore, for the sake of justice, they cannot be involved in any case brought before the Court involving the insurrection on January 6, 2021. This is clearly a situation of conflict of interests. When two of America’s greatest enemies stacked the Court with three individuals who are biased towards the views of right-wing extremists, the SCOTUS lost all of its credibility and respect. It will only become worse if it literally flips America the middle finger and blatantly displays its fealty to America’s worst, illegitimate president. HOW CAN A GOVERNMENT SURVIVE THROUGH CORRUPTION AND LIES TO ITS PEOPLE I understand that because I will soon be 78 years of age, you expect me to support anyone in authority without reservation. You are very, v...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Justice Clarence Thomas is whining. He is complaining about criticism from the voting public related to his personal misdeeds , bias in favor of Donald Trump, and decisions which contradict the will of the people. He is also under attack with his five comrades who continue to vote against the intent of the Constitution.   On Friday, while attending a judicial conference, he was asked about working in a “meanspirited environment.”   "I think there's challenges to that. We're in a world and we — certainly my wife and I the last two or three years it's been — just the nastiness and the lies, it's just incredible," Thomas said.   "But you have some choices. You don't get to prevent people from doing horrible things or saying horrible things. But you have to understand and accept the fact that they can't change you unless you permit that," Thomas said.   I have a solution for the controversial justice: resign!   TH...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have written many times that Donald Trump is the worst thing to happen to America in its 247 years. Not the Civil War, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, or the attempted coup on January 6 caused more damage to our nation than the illegitimate election of the worst man in the world on November 8, 2016. However, the destruction of the Supreme Court of the United States of America by Trump and Moscow Mitch McConnell surpasses the damage caused by “Big Adolf.” The SCOTUS was our last hope. When it proved to be corrupted beyond repair, thanks to lifetime appointments, nothing could change the dark reality that fascism has come to America. These six names will be remembered forever as the traitors who shred the Constitution and put an end to the United States: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. AMERICA: A NATION WITHOUT LAWS The Constitution is known as the Law of the Land. However, our third branch of government, th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   In the 1930 ’s, Reno, Nevada , became the divorce capital of the world. Antiquated and unrealistic divorce laws in other states drove thousands of women to seek a six-month residency in Reno to establish residence and receive a fair and equitable separation of marriage.   Red states, in support of the unconstitutional Christian Religious Right, are passing anti-abortion laws. Will thousands of women wo are denied the right to make decisions about their own mental and physical health seek a similar situation away from their homes?   WILL CALIFORNIA BE THE FIRST TO ESTABLISH ABORTION RANCHES?   California Governor, Gavin Newsom is planning to allow doctors who practice in Oregon to perform abortions in California. Unlike our right-wing extremist Supreme Court, some politicians who support women and their Constitutional rights, will protect them from the dangers of fascism.   PROGRESSION or REGRESSION?   Between 2017 and 20...
