Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   The Republican Party experienced its final implosion on January 20, 2017. Its demise began on January 20, 1981. It took 36 years to complete the process, and under the direction of Vladimir Putin the process reached its climax when Trump was illegitimately elected by the Electoral College on November 8, 2016. This may surprise some of you, but as a lifelong Independent I can tell you that the last man residing in the White House who supported the principles and morals of the Grand Old Party, who was a true patriot and cared for the future of his country was Richard Millhouse Nixon. If we judge our presidents by their accomplishments and how they affected the largest number of our nation’s people, the best President by far was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Included in the top five would be Richard Nixon. Sadly, what he will be remembered for by historians is his ambition to receive a second term and the felonies he committed when he approved the break-in at the De

The mainstream media, Fox News, and right-wing politicians will never tell you the truth. The truth would greatly harm those who call themselves “Republicans” today. Remember, billionaires control the right-wing, and money is the only thing of importance in 21 st century America. I believe that if most Americans were aware that 30 percent of all Americans reject organized religion today, it would change attitudes across our country about multiple issues, including abortion, and the rights of the LGBTQ community. That number is about 90,000,000 people. The most interesting part of this fact is that millennials and succeeding generations compose a large number of this statistic. With an average age of all Americans at 38.3 years of age, this is a significant fact. If women and younger Americans came to agreements on every important issue, they would cont

In 2017, a plan to move our capitalistic society into a plutocracy was completed by a wannabe billionaire who was pretending to be our president. The situation began in 1981 when another failed “Republican” was inaugurated. Ronald Reagan’s lies fooled many real Americans, including yours truly. I will tell you the truth no one else is willing to offer you. The TEA Party was created by the Koch brothers with the assistance of other billionaires. Its purpose remains gaining complete control or our nation’s government to secure their personal ambitions. This group of anti-Americans gave birth to an even more radical and destructive group calling themselves “the Freedom Caucus.” In 2016, billionaire Robert Mercer took control of Donald Trump’s campaign in August and the rest is part of America’s dark hist
