Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The right-wing’s wars on minorities, the working class, the LGBTQ Community, women, and all non-Christians began during the Reagan Administration. Over the last 43 years these attacks on specific groups, all of which are protected by the Bill of Rights, have escalated thanks to the worst president in American history. His close ties with the leaders of Neo-Nazi groups, combined with his personal history, are the reasons America is now a divided nation. THE REPEAL OF ROE V WADE WAS AN ABOMIMATION: IT WAS AN ATTACK ON THE RIGHT OF EVERY WOMAN TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HER OWN MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH Trump is bragging about his part in the repeal of a 49-year-old decision by a legitimate Court known as Roe v Wade. This is no surprise. He has no respect for womankind. He has been married three times, and had extramarital sex during each relationship. He has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least 25 women. One of his closest friends was Jeffrey Epstein. He is...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump and Putin have a lot in common. Both men are egomaniacs and care nothing for anyone but themselves. Both are power mad and believe that money is the only “god” that matters. I believe that Trump’s big lie and the invasion of Ukraine by his handler are tied together.   Putin is Willing to Lose Millions   Putin doesn’t care how many men he has lost over the last two years. He never loses sight of his ultimate goal . This involves Trump, and it began 37 years ago in Moscow when Trump took his first trip to the Russian Capital.   Which makes me ask a serious question: “how big are the numbers of Russian soldiers lost in Ukraine.”   The estimate is 87 percent of Putin’s original invading army have been lost. [“ Russia has lost 315,000 on the battlefield, according to the assessment. 2,200 of 3,500 tanks have been lost, according to the assessmen t. 4,400 of 13,600 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers have al...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I always agreed with Mark Twain until 2017. “Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.” The ‘country’ refers to the American people. Until I began to see growing support for the worst man in America, who is also the least qualified presidential candidate in history, I believed in America because I believed in our people. However, I no longer believe that millions of our nation’s people love their country and therefore I am not sure that the United States is worth saving. America has never been a great country. More than half of our nation’s people harbor racist beliefs and cherish their bigotry towards others who are not like themselves. Beginning in June of 2015 this problem escalated. The Southern Poverty Law Center reported an 800 percent in hate crimes. Although this old, obese, white man attempted to overthrow our government, committing the definition of treason, he remains free to continue spreading anger, ha...
