Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am definitely not a psychiatrist. However, I read a lot about the failure of our nation to address the many mental health issues affecting hundreds of thousands of Americans, if not millions. Most insurance companies refuse to cover the cost of long-term care. One stands out above the rest: your illegitimate, mentally ill, and self-absorbed fake president. Let’s take another look at his lifelong ailment. Malignant Narcissism: [In the popular conception, malignant narcissism is a form of narcissistic personality disorder that is highly abusive. People with this personality supposedly get a sense of satisfaction from hurting others and may manipulate people or lie to gain money, acclaim, and other things they desire. [Campbell’s Psychiatric Dictionary suggests that malignant narcissism includes traits of narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Narcissistic personality disorderTrusted Source causes a person to seek constant acclaim ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every day over the last 10+ months, Trump violated the Fifth Amendment, after the Supreme Court granted him powers not intended by our Founding Fathers. He knows he is above the law and continues to commit the most egregious crimes known to man. Trump and his henchman, Pete Hegseth, along with the consent of the corrupt men and women in the Pentagon, have murdered more than 100 people off the coast of Venezuela in a direct violation of the Fifth Amendment. Fifth Amendment: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself , nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due p...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Under orders from their Fuhrer-in-Chief, the United States military has been sinking Venezuelan boats and killing civilians. Trump claims that they are drug smugglers, while the government of Venezuela says they were pleasure craft. Members of the National Guard are invadeing blue states as Trump attempts to enact martial law to prevent protests against his fascist policies. Maybe Trump wants to give the Pentagon a much-needed victory They couldn’t defeat the North Koreans, were forced to retreat from Vietnam permanently, and lost to the Taliban and Iraq’s army before the conflicts began. Our military is not trained to fight in those types of wars. Hell, they couldn’t stop Trump’s Nazi army from invading the Capitol Building on January 6. Martha Gellhorn, a famous war correspondent, once wrote: "Governments are all bad everywhere, only differently bad. I've known that for a long time". This quote reflects her long and varied experience covering con...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For my readers, I offer the absolute, undeniable, irrefutable truth: Every time a representative from the Pentagon or a professional politician avoids a direct answer to a question from a member of the legitimate press, and uses these words: “for reasons of national security,” he or she is covering up corruption or hiding something which would encourage the American people to lose trust in our military and/or the federal government. On this day, August 10, 2025, the complete truth about President Kennedy’s assassination, the events and failures which led up to the cowardly attacks on September 11, 2001, and the results of the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections remain a secret, hidden from anyone who is not a member of the worst and most incompetent government in the world. Younger Americans may choose ignorance over fact, hoping that our nation’s leaders are loyal Americans who care about the future of the United States of America. I am 79 years old, and I can...
