14 Presidents and 19 Inaugurations I Learned About Each Man, but Only Watched Five Sworn In on January 20

Image
  Beginning in 1956, 14 presidents have lived in the White House which I remember. After coming home from school, turning on our black and white television, and watching Dwight Eisenhower’s second presidential nomination, an interest in our nation’s political system began to grow in my young brain. However, I have not watched many of the inaugurations on January 20. I can only remember five. After most of our presidential elections, I was seldom excited about the man who would be leading our nation for the next four years, and in at least five elections, I was very disappointed in the results, positive that our nation would move backwards under their failed leadership, and on each occasion, I was right. However, on January 20, 2017 and again on this coming Monday, you will not find me in front of my television. I am excited about Monday, but only because the NCAA Football Championship will be played that evening. Go Notre Dame! I am the opposite of excited...

“Liar, Liar California’s on Fire” and You are an A**hole

Image
  I guess I have to say it again: “if Trump’s piehole is open, he’s lying.” In another of his rambling speeches, filled with gibberish and unintelligible phrases, Trump offered another lie. Why? Because the majority of Californians reject a Trump presidency and will never accept him as their leader. It is clear that Trump is Beelzebub on earth. In a speech made from his fat, old, rich, white man’s playpen, Mar-a-Lago, Trump blamed the horrific fires occurring in Southern California on a shortage of water caused by Governor Gavin Newsome’s policies. He also claimed that President Biden has used all available FEMA funds and there are none left for him when he takes the oath of office in just 11 days. That oath will be nothing but another lie. Of course, both allegations are blatant lies. Newsome has never received a bill to sign related to water restrictions in California. He literally does not know what he’s talking about, regardless of the subject. Remember, he actually suggested t...

America is ‘No Country for Old Men’

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The media constantly covered President Biden, pointing to his age in support of Trump’s baseless claims about his fitness to be your president. Trump is 78 and 18 months after the election he will be an octogenarian. He fell asleep at his criminal trial, and recently nodded off at two campaign events. Trump’s low level of intelligence has always been a problem for the failed, wannabe billionaire. However, during his rallies it has become evident that what mental capabilities he possessed are in steep decline. He is unfit for any office, and definitely unqualified to lead a nation of 330+ million people. I am just three weeks younger than the orange buffoon. I am retired, with the exception of my continuous efforts to inform the American people and write my novels. An 80-year-old, obese, mentally challenged man should retire and disappear from the public forever. The average age of all Americans is 38.4 years. An octogenarian is out of touch with the majority of ...

Hey Donny Boy, the Truth Hurts, but the Truth Will Set America Free

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart History proves that for the last nine years the mainstream media allowed Trump to lie to the American people in front of the television cameras without demanding any admission of falsehood or retraction from the orange buffoon. History also proves that the tale of Trump’s life begins and ends with a pattern of lies and playing the role of a con man. Although Trump’s “basement dwellers” refuse to accept the truth, others, like me, have followed “the real Donald Trump” and what we learned is based on fact not fiction. Over the last 78 years Trump has struggled to create an illusion. However, facts prove that if he had not received assistance from leaders of foreign nations, he would have never received notoriety or credibility. He would have become penniless and the events of the last nine years would never have happened. THE DISEASE IS MALIGNANT NARCISSIM From birth until today, Trump’s history reveals a desperate need for attention and validation. Notable mental...

Another Photo Op, and Another Display of Hypocrisy

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The date was June 1, 2020. Trump decided to march from the White House to St. John’s Church for the sole purpose of obtaining a photo op to distract his followers from his failing attempt to win reelection. To reach St. John’s Church, he had to walk through Lafayette Park. A crowd of protestors filled a large part of the park. Trump called in members of the National Guard to lead the procession, and armed them with rubber bullets and tear gas. His plan was successful and an embarrassment for all Americans. Once again, our military was forced to attack peaceful citizens exercising their First Amendment rights for political reasons. Never forget Kent State. The hypocrisy in this picture was the photo itself. Trump stood in front of St. John’s holding an upside-down Bible. He has seldom, if ever, seen the inside of any church. He is not a Christian. TRUMP MAKES A FOOL OF HIMSELF IN THE MOST FAMOUS RESTING PLACE OF OUR NATION’S FALLEN SOLDIERS On Monday, August 26, ...

I Wake Up Every Morning Wonder if This is the Day Trump Loses What’s Left of his Little Brain

I Wake Up Every Morning Wonder if This is the Day Trump Loses What’s Left of his Little Brain   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you turn off the “boob tube,” once in a while , and read, you are aware that Trump definitely has a problem with clear thought, expressing himself with actual words, and most likely his ability to read anything with complete comprehension.   I was reading an article in the Daily Kos today, written by Cal Dem Syd. She shares my daily interest about Trump’s failing mental acuity. Her premise, and an accurate one based on my observations, is that when the judge in New York decides the amount of money he must pay for decades of fraud related to the inflation and deflation of his properties to protect his wealth, he will lose what is left of his inferior mental abilities.   Last Friday, E. Jean Carroll was awarded 83.3 million dollars after charging Trump with defamation of character. He nearly imploded in front of the cameras. What wi...
