Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There is no denying the facts. America’s federal government has reached a level of corruption from which there is no return. I couldn’t blame anyone for believing this situation began with Trump, but the truth is far more sinister. Fact: corruption and greed are synonyms. In the 1980’s America began moving away from a nation where compassion, understanding, and a simple desire to do the right thing in every situation into a nation where profits became the priority and our people were left behind. In 2024, our country has reached a situation where great wealth is protected by law enforcement, the justice system, our military, and even ministers behind their pulpits. No one in power or in possession of great wealth can be trusted. ONE ENTIRE POLITICAL PARTY IS NOTHING BUT A TOOL FOR THE ONE PERCENT In 2024, the number of billionaires in the U.S. has reached 813. These ridiculously wealthy individuals have amassed power with the use of their fortunes. In 1981 the r...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As I began watching Thursday night’s debate, I thought that the President did not look well. Later, I read that he was suffering from a head cold. I’m not making excuses, but I will be 78 in one week, and when I’m not feeling well, I can no longer hide it as I could when I was a much younger man. It’s much more difficult for me to function perfectly when I am not 100 percent. Let’s look at the fact that Mr. Biden has accomplished more than his two Republican predecessors. In fact, our nation’s economy is the best it has been since the Clinton Administration. He has succeeded although he continues to face Moscow Mitch McConnell’s “party of no.” I WAS DISAPPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT, BUT MY REASON FOR TURNING THE DEBATE OFF INVOLVED THE MODERATORS Fact, a true debate cannot happen if one of the contestants refuses to answer the questions, or is allowed to make up his own “facts.” Jake Tapper and Dana Bash let Trump create his own answers and establish his own agenda...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Early in 2017, Trump, by his own words, admitted that he was the leader of the white supremacy movement in America. Trump’s attempted coupe on January 6 was led by leaders of several Neo-Nazi groups. If we go back to the late 1960’s, when Trump worked for his racist father, if a Black man or woman sought residence in one of Fred’s apartment buildings, a large, red “C” was placed at the top of the application. You cannot be a Black American and support the whitest man with the whitest agenda in America.   A Modern Day “Uncle Tom”   Byron Donalds is a Republican Representative from Florida. Although he has skin which would define him as a “Black American,” he is not. He is a Trump supporter. When asked if he would accept the vice-presidential nomination if Trump offered it to him, his response was, “who wouldn’t?”   Desperation and Stupidity are an Ugly Combination   During another of his many, many hate speeches, Trump claimed that becau...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you need a perfect example of a politician with a total lack of intelligence, no one is better than Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana. There is a contest within the once Grand Old Party. It will decide who is the most idiotic and laughable man or woman on the right side of the aisle. Although it is extremely close with such fools as Ted Cruz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin McCarthy, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Lauren, Boebert, and others, I nominate Kennedy as the biggest ass in the world of Pachyderms. Everything coming from the piehole of the Senator from Louisiana is disgraceful and a complete fallacy. He is definitely in contention to replace Ted Cruz as the worst senator in American history. After Attorney General, Merrick Garland, answered a large number of moronic questions, with the intention of protecting Trump in future criminal actions, Kennedy made another of his infamous and senseless remarks. “I thought Attorney G...
