  I could use this title for many situations in my 78 years. But this refers to last night and a dream I had just before I awoke. The dream was about Trump and involved his obesity, unhealthy diet, and refusal to exercise. He is so lazy he drives his golfcart onto the greens. He is a poster boy for a stroke or heart attack. This was my dream. Trump had a massive stroke, preventing him from being sworn in on Monday. However, I was awake immediately and realized that my dream had become a nightmare. The inauguration will take place in just four days. He will once again be lying as he promises to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies foreign and domestic.” He is the enemy. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world who will be totally embarrassed and sad on Monday. It would have been impossible 30 years ago for a serial philanderer, a convicted felon, and the only sitting president to have c...

You might know the name. She surpassed Oprah Winfrey as the most respected woman in America. She is brilliant, a great patriot, and always says and does the right thing. Several groups encouraged Michelle Obama to run for the presidency in 2020. I have no doubt she could have won a huge victory. However, after living in the White House for eight years and privy to how ugly the world of politics can be, she declined. After Trump’s illegitimate victory in the Electoral College in 2016, she was courteous and kind to Melania Trump, performing her duties as the outgoing First Lady. Now that Trump will once again become our nation’s most controversial and unpopular president, she is no longer required to play nice. True to her beliefs and principles, she announced her refusal to attend Trump’s illegal inauguration on January 20. America’s biggest traitor should not be allowed a return to the White House. America is just another young country which will not survive its first 500 years. Our na...

The date was September 9, 1956. I was a ten-year-old boy and was somewhat excited. On that Sunday evening, the young man I had heard so often on the radio was scheduled to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time. There was one problem. The censors convinced the network executives that some viewers would consider the way Elvis Presley moved “immoral” and “indecent.”  An agreement between all parties resulted in Mr. Presley being televised from the waist up. Like everyone else, I became a fan for life. How things have changed. In twelve days an old, obese, convicted felon who cheated on all three of his wives, is accused of sexual assault by more then 25 women, and paid hush money to an adult film star to hide his immoral action from voters, will become our nation’s 47 th president: but not mine. Our country has lost its morality and is no longer a respectable  nation. Think about this honestly: does any man or woman with just average intelligence believe that a sexua...

The House reneged on its past policies and decided not to hide the ethics investigation into Matt Gaetz actions, claiming “for reasons of national security.” He is far worse than anyone would have believed. His drug use is far more pervasive than we were led to believe. He spent huge amounts of money paying for sex. Not only did he frequently have sex with young, underage women, he transported some across state lines. One more thing which confirms the idiocy of the people of Florida. They elected and reelected the criminal. In January, with their “Don” returning to the White House, the Washington Mafia will be intact. Never, never forget that your “stable genius” president nominated a man without morals and principles for the office of our country’s top law enforcement officer. The big question is the same question real Americans ask about Donald Trump: why are they not in a federal holding cell awaiting trial for their many crimes. I know of cases where law enforcement uses the slimme...

I have written hundreds of articles defining the real Donald Trump. It is an undeniable fact that he is a convicted felon, a traitor, a lifetime criminal, a sexual predator, and other horrible things. I decided that it was time to write about his flaws as a human being, if he is one. My research into Trump’s 78 years began when he was a 13-year-old teenager. His parents obviously didn’t want him in their home, so they sent him to a New York military boarding school. I learned little about his time spent in the institution because when he became your illegitimate president in 2016, he had all of his scholastic records sealed. I can only assume that they are very embarrassing, even for an old man who seldom displays emotions other than fear, anger, hatred, and inciting others to commit violence on his behalf. After father Fred paid for deferments which allowed Donny to avoid serving in Vietnam, he received a diploma from the University of Philadelphia’s Wharton College of Business. What ...

I was born on July 7, 1946; an original baby boomer. My mother gave birth to me in Lewiston, Idaho. Just before my sixth birthday, my mother, father, little brother, John, my maternal grandparents, and my mother’s youngest brother moved to Los Angeles, because that’s where the jobs were. Several years later, my mother and father divorced. My mother rented a small apartment very near my grandparent’s home in West Los Angeles. My mother was a single parent, and therefore a working mom. My grandparents and my uncle were role models and helped raise my brother and me. We were a Catholic family. Besides going to church every Sunday, we went to “novena” on Wednesdays, and every celebration associated with Christmas and Easter. I went to ‘confession’ every week. From my grandfather I learned the most important things in my life: kindness, acceptance, respect for everyone in my life, a high moral standard, and a work ethic like no other. At the age of ten, I began an interest in politics. I di...

  What is the role of a U.S. President? Until 2017, this was what was expected from our nation’s leader. [The authors of the U.S. Constitution only sketched a loose outline of the presidency when they defined the federal government in 1787. They expected the first presidents to work out the details of the job with Congress and the Supreme Court. As a result, the first officeholders helped shape the way presidents make decisions, fight wars, work with Congress, add territory to the country, and even entertain.] Let’s begin with his personal life. Trump is a man without morals or principles. He is a registered serial philanderer, having cheated on all three of his trophy wives. It was recently revealed and confirmed that he attended parties with his “best friend,” Jeffrey Epstein, for 10 years. This proves that Trump is one of the most disgusting sexual predators of all time. Trump operated his businesses in the same manner as his marriages. He lied, cheated, and stole among ot...

The Truth Lives Here If the American people abandon their values, morals, and principles for a second time on November 5 th , this will be the headline on every newspaper and the front page of every blog on the day after around the world.. “America Elects a Convicted Felon, a Confirmed Sexual Predator, and a Fascist.” How proud our Founding Fathers would be. Op-ed by James Turnage  

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Anyone with half-a-brain knows that Trump is a sexual predator, and believes that women have a single purpose: to serve the needs and wishes of men. Whether you support T rump or not, this is an irrefutable fact.   All real women in America despise Donald Trump: he has earned their ire time and time again . T he fact that he has been married three times, and had extramarital affairs multiple times during each marriage, is an unforgivable fact. Trump is a man without mor al s , without a consci ence.   Tim Walz   called Trump a Vance “ weird .” I would add the term “creepy.”   During a recent interview in Georgia, a question from the audience asked if banning abortions would affect IVF. This was the old man man’s response.   After proclaiming to be “the father of IVF,” which went unchallenged by Faulkner, Trump then shared an anecdote of a phone call he had  with Republican Alabama Senator Katie Britt.   “So,...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First a fact which confirms how corrupt the government of the United States has become. For decades those who are intended to serve all Americans in Washington hid corruption including grievous felonies from the voting public. Most recently our failed politicians hid the fact that Russia was interfering in the 2016 election in support of Donald Trump although they knew the truth prior to election day. The results of Robert Meuller’s investigation into collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign team required years to complete. When it was “released” to the public, Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr retracted it so heavily it was unreadable. His intention was to hide the truth. Today, October 2, 2024, the American people were allowed to know condemning facts about Trump’s failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021. If you watched the darkest day in America’s history on television as I and my wife chose to do, you have no illusions about what we saw with our...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This is an old story. It involves a disgraced illegitimate president, a former pastor of a Texas Mega Church turned sexual deviate, the ugly profession of politics, and the most common evil in America today, hypocrisy. I have no doubt most of you know my position on organized religion. If you do, you also know that I admire anyone who is devoted to his or her religion, but I also condemn anyone who uses their perceived religion as a tool to enhance their personal lives. Over my 78 years, I learned that one religious leader, who is nothing more than a con man, is frequently responsible for the growing number of Americans like me who reject all organized religion. About one-third of all men and women in this country, 100 million, no longer attend services at churches, synagogues, mosques, or temples devoted to a single faith. The truth is, the number of new converts to Chistian faiths is in decline. THE CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS RIGHT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND THE R...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It’s clear to me one of the worst members of congress, Matt Gaetz, wants t o be exactly like his Fu hrer, Donald Trump. He just needs to try harder.   Gaetz remains under investigation for sex with a minor, and sex trafficking across state lines. It appears that he will be facing additional charges soon .   Gaetz: “The House Ethics Committee has closed four probes into me, which emerged from lies intended solely to smear me,” he  tweeted . “They are doing this to avoid the obvious fact that every investigation into me ends the same way: my exoneration.”   Of course he is lying. The Ethics Committee has not closed any investigation and is beginning new ones.   WHAT HE ALREADY SHARES WITH TRUMP   Like his master, Gaetz is a sexual predator. He shares another quality with “Big Adolf,” he lies constantly. He is a member in “good standing” of the fascist Freedom Caucus, and hates the country he promised to serve, protect and def...
