Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The second worst president in American history was illegitimate. He was chosen by a corrupt, right-wing biased Supreme Court. We will never know what the results of the 2000 election would have been if the Florida recount had been completed. George W. Bush lacked the intelligence and experience to lead our country, and proved my assumptions that he would be the worst president in history: and remained so until 2017. Bush allowed Vice-President Dick Cheney to make decisions which affected our nation’s reputation, and the future of 330 million people. The devil himself sat on his left shoulder for eight years, whispering evil and destructive thoughts in his ear. If Bush had performed his duties, 9/11 might not have happened. However, he and Cheney went on vacation, although they had been warned about a probable attack on our nation, and the result was one of the darkest days in American history. As we all know, the end result was America’s involvement in two unwin...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Moscow Mitch McConnell is a modern “Snidley Whiplash.” He is pure evil, a traitor to his country’s people, and the most destructive Senator in America’s nearly 249-year history. Moscow Mitch is serving his 7 th term in the Senate, a disgrace and a detriment to good government. He is the poster “boy” for why term limits are mandatory if our government is to survive. His ultimate crime against America was complete in October of 2020. This action confirmed the end of the only branch of our government not to be corrupted by the most disgusting and useless job in America: politics. Amy Coney Barrett, a Catholic extremist, was rushed through Senate confirmation hearings in September of 2020 when the legendary Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, lost her fight for life. Moscow Mitch broke his own rule and forced her confirmation through the Senate with less than one month before the election. Barrett’s only qualification was a promise to overturn a Supreme Cou...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   The Supreme Court of the United States is clearly fascist and anti-American.    When our Founding Fathers created this nation and signed the Constitution in 1789 , a unique form of government had been  created. They were aware that it was fragile and even vulnerable. If it was to succeed, it must be in the control of men and women who would have a moral standard beyond reproach, lofty principles which wo uld never be surrendered under any circumstances, and progressive ideals which wou ld result in the growth of the new nation and its service to all Americans.  However, they made a huge mistake which is endangering the future of their dream.   It is no longer a secret. The great men and their monumental ambition, the creation of a nation ruled by the people for the people, overestimated mankind .   All men have weakness. Most men lack the courage to place their responsibility to always do the right thing for the men...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On a quiet Sunday morning, in one of the most beautiful places on  earth, a fascist dictator launched a cowardly attack which would alter the future of the entire world. In Europe, a ruthless and ambitious dictator was invading nation after nation and replacing democratic governments with fascist rule. On December 7, 1941, Hawaii was an American territory. It would not become a state until 1959. However, the Emperor of Japan knew that a large percentage of America’s naval forces were docked in one place, and a single, carefully planned attack would cripple or destroy a devastating number of ships designed for war. The next day, the greatest President in American history, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, announced that the United States would join our allies in the fight to defeat fascism. On that day, the end of WWII had begun. When the bullets stopped flying, and bombs no longer ravaged structures and took the lives of innocent men, women, and children, in what m...

Somehow the current corrupt and biased Supreme Court almost did something right. Eight of the nine justices heard arguments concerning “ Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond.” The issue was whether or not a school operated by the Catholic Church should be allowed to use public funds to operate a charter school available to all children, regardless of religious affiliation. The final decision was 4-4. Those involved in the Court’s proceedings believe that the only right-wing dissenter was Chief Justice John Roberts. When the vote of the Court is tied, the decision of a lower court is upheld. In this situation, the Catholic Church cannot operate a school funded by taxpayer dollars. Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself. Prior to her appointment in the Court, she taught at the Catholic school involved for 15 years, and is godmother to one of the director’s children. It would have been a certainty that if she was involved, this religious extremist would have voted agains...

  This title is obviously what millions of voters were thinking when they stood in a voting booth on November 5, 2024. Now they know the answer to their question: “Trump is much worse than anyone could have imagined.” Let’s look at one fact offered by the orange buffoon today. Trump pardoned more than 1,500 violent criminals who committed acts of treason on January 6, 2021. They were acting on his orders, but he will never pay for the ultimate crime against our nation. President Biden, understanding Trump’s childish need for revenge, pardoned the men and women who were performing their duties, investigating the insurrection on January 6. Trump has committed many crimes and many acts of sexual impropriety during his sad and useless 78 years and 9 months. The one thing he has never done and never will do is to “do the right thing.” Trump will always follow his own personal rule: “do whatever serves Donald Trump, and fuck everyone and everything else.” Trump will ignore the Rule of La...
