Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart By law, the military forces of the United States are forbidden to take action in any situation involving democracy in America. This law is under attack by your illegitimate president. When a small group of Democratic legislators made a public service announcement intended to inform our military that they are lawfully obligated to ignore commands by the Commander-in-Chief which violate the law, Trump suggested that punishment by death should be considered for their Constitutional obligation to obey the Law of the Land. He mislabeled the event as an act of “sedition.” Trump knows nothing about the law, he never met one he didn’t break. Now that six corrupt members of the SCOTUS  granted him absolute immunity, our nation’s greatest criminal will do anything he desires without fear of punishment. Trump and his gang of criminals and thugs have already removed the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th from the Constitution. How many more of our rights and freedoms will...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There are many reasons why no one should have voted for Trump in either of his two rigged elections, and not a single one why they should have. There is one unspoken reason why it made no sense to allow the least qualified man in history to wear a title he never wanted: President of the United States of America. Trump was born into an atmosphere of extreme, white privilege. Not only was his family racist, they were very wealthy. Nothing has changed over the last 79 years. He has never worked for a living, or shown concern for anyone else other than himself. He has never known or cared about the struggles of the average American. He is only aware of how he and his father’s family had everything they wanted without having to work for it. In 2024, the richest man in the world, Elon Musk became his biggest supporter, financially and appearing with him at his hate rallies. Musk, like Trump, was raised into a white supremacist family, but in South Africa. They called ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America has become the land of criminals. For the rich and powerful, laws do not exist. I am not referring to Trump: he is not the only person above the law in 21 st century America. Our country is controlled by Trump and an administration composed of criminals and anti-Americans. His 902 oligarchs have no interest in the welfare of 340 million Americans, they want more money and more power. I am more sad than angry. My younger brother and I were little boys in the 1950’s. I was born in 1946, John in 1948. We were raised by a single mother. I remain grateful that we grew up in the early age of television. This was our only source of entertainment. We watched every John Wayne “B” western, and every movie about WWII more than once. Our days in elementary school began with all of us reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. We didn’t know the word, but we were raised to be patriots. At the age of 10, I came home from school one day, turned on the black and white te...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In both the 2016 and 2024 elections, lifelong Republicans not running for election, warned the American people about the dangers presented by a Trump presidency. However, Republican voters are not very smart, and believed the pathological fascist instead of those who remain loyal to Republican principles. Ex Trump Attorney, Ty Cobb, talked to MS NOW. “What does this mean for the judiciary moving forward, that the Justice Department is taking this hostile action and rhetoric?" Cobb replied, "I think that's one of the greatest threats to our democracy at this stage of the game." "Keep in mind that Trump has neutered congress. Actually, they've probably neutered themselves through their cowardice and greed, but they have, you know, ceded basically all control to the president. And he dictates everything Mike Johnson does," he added. "So I think that's tragic because the way the constitution is designed, congress not the cou...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In eight months, if I live that long, I will be an octogenarian. I grew up reading the Sunday newspaper, mostly the comics section. By the time I was in high school, I read the morning paper daily, primarily the sports section. By my junior year, one of my teachers made it a requirement to read the entire front page and more. In 2025, it is a sad fact that reading a newspaper has become obsolete for most. I don’t watch television news: none of it is entirely accurate or based on the complete truth. I turn on my computer and open numerous websites, searching for the truth about what happened on the previous day or while I was asleep. Over the last 10 years, most mainstream media agencies cover Trump more than anything or anyone else. Therefore, there is no “good news.” Most of what I read is revolting and contain attacks on the future of my beloved country. It is an irrefutable fact that every member of our federal government, all 547 men and women, knew about Pu...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart George W. Bush placed our nation in two unwinnable and costly wars. His lies and misleading allegations cost our nation dearly with the loss of life and nearly bankrupting our economy. His lack of oversight for Wall Street, and a failed fiscal policy of trickle-down economics, caused the Great Recession. However, a ‘knee jerk’ reaction to 9/11 resulted in two additional mistakes and crimes which continue to harm our nation today. A Republican led Congress passed bills which created the American Gestapo, known as ICE, and the Unconstitutional Patriot Act. On October 26, 2001, Bush 23 signed the Patriot Act into law. We were told that it was an effort to prevent another terrorist attack on our nation. However, it was far more nefarious. It allowed every law enforcement agency in America to detain any individual suspected of a possible act of terrorism, It also allowed these agencies to confiscate items found on their person, in their vehicles, and in their homes. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’m sure that most of you wondered why Trump chose Pam Bondi for the position of Attorney General. I did not. They have a history, and Bondi knows where the bodies are buried. Is she qualified? Only in Trump’s administration where no one is qualified for the positions they were given. Prior to that dark day in June, 2015, when Trump declared his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, a situation brought two criminals together for the first time. Bondi was the Attorney General for the strange state of Florida. On her desk was a file which might become a case involving fraud. Several students enrolled at Trump University claimed that there was no such school, and none of the promises offered when they enrolled and gave them their money were ever fulfilled. Trump became aware of the lawsuit. What we know is that he took $25,000 from the Trump Foundation and donated it to Bondi’s reelection campaign. Bondi filed the case in the ‘round file’...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart By my estimate, Trump has received between 600 million, and one billion dollars in bribes over just 10 months. From a 747-400 to gold bars, a gold crown, gold golf clubs, and god knows what else, he continues to use his illegitimate presidency as an opportunity to increase his personal wealth. But he never keeps his promises. There are laws to prevent this form of extreme corruption, but no one in Washington cares. What this confirms is another of many reasons for impeachment. The ‘Don’ of the Washington Mafia is increasing his bank account while the average American struggles. A couple of days ago, Trump ordered a ‘state dinner’ for one of his benefactors, who is also one of America’s greatest enemies, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman. This man has killed thousands of innocent men, women, and children in Yemen alone. However, he is most infamous for the murder of a journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. He ordered his death and had him cut into piece...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I just labeled Trump with multiple adjectives which are demeaning and degrading. However, because they are all based on facts: facts he, himself, offered by his own actions and speech: they are not unfair or undeserved. I cannot compete with Trump when the situation involves name-calling, although most of his are simply silly and laughable. However, anyone who disagrees with the schoolyard bully is sure to receive a “nickname.” His “nicknames” are not clever, because he is not ‘clever.’ We all remember “Crooked Hillary,” “Sleepy Joe,” and “Little Marco.” The mental health community reveals the reasons an individual feels he or she has no other recourse than name-calling to defend his or herself. [Insecurity and envy: If we don't believe we measure up to our peers, we may redirect and express this discontentment by directing it toward others in the form of hatred or animosity. In psychology, this masking of our true feelings of insecurity is known as displace...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From the “Access Hollywood” tapes, we learned that Donnie Trump was a sexual predator. During the 2016 campaign, Christopher Steele revealed his level of sexual deviance. Now, the Epstein files confirmed our suspicions that Trump was more depraved than we believed and is without a doubt a pedophile. The facts prove that Trump’s most ardent supporters don’t care. They share many of his personal beliefs and are willing to ignore his most grievous actions against humanity. The men and women who hate my America once again have a powerful leader defiling the people’s White House. I have known for more than 10 years that Trump is a serial philanderer, and a sexual predator. I should have known that these crimes were only a small example of the evils committed by the worst man in the world. If he never sought the presidency, we might have never known the “real Donald Trump.” Donald John Trump is not only unfit to be an American president, he cannot be included in the r...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Conspiracy theories are harmful and bullshit. However, facts expose the real villains in any story, and are the primary factors which eventually save mankind from the worst monsters in the world.. Earlier this year, America’s two greatest enemies met in Alaska. There was no legitimate reason for the meeting, although it was organized under the pretense of ending the invasion of Ukraine. What it was is clear: an opportunity to meet face to face and finalize their plans to take control of the entire world. Trump and his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin displayed the extent of their relationship on the tarmac. Two thirds of the men who are enemies of more than 8.2 billion people are experiencing success in their plan for world domination. This week, Trump met with the third villain who is critical for the completion of their ambitions: Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman, in the Oval Office. These three evil and heartless men have many common goals and emotions, which...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you don’t read and understand America’s history, the good and the bad, you cannot claim to be an informed citizen. The past should be our greatest teacher. If we don’t know about what came before, we are destined to make the same mistakes over and over again.. The period in America known as the “Gilded Age” occurred from about 1877 until 1900. It was a time of extreme decadence, greed, debauchery, unbridled racism, and just about any other fault weak human beings might envy. The super-rich used their wealth to buy politicians, law enforcement, and anyone else who might assist them in their efforts to increase their hidden bank accounts. It was America’s first plutocracy. Under Fuhrer Donald Trump, the United States is engaged in a second plutocracy/oligarchy: a second ‘Gilded Age.’ I admit to the fact that I didn’t realize this fact until Trump destroyed a huge portion of the people’s White House to build an edifice to himself he calls a ‘ballroom.’ Long befo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart We all know about Trump’s private life. He enjoyed his life in New York’s privileged society. In public, he appeared to be a successful billionaire, enjoying all of its pleasures, Most importantly, only a few investigative journalists knew the extent of his sexual deviance. Few knew about his huge number of adulterous actions, sexual assaults or his surely to be confirmed, pedophilia. However, when he declared his intention to become your president in 2015, he was exposed as the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement whose life was filled with crime and debauchery. A similar situation now exists for Elon Musk. He was the richest man in the world. His primary company, Tesla, was a huge success. His involvement in America’s space program made him billions of dollars each year. He hid from us his failures, and the fact that he is a devoted Nazi. When he became involved in Trump’s 2024 campaign, we learned about the real Elon Musk. It was immediately clear that he ha...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Now everyone knows: Trump is a pedophile. Most of us who spend much of our day researching information so that you may be informed have known about his sexual deviance for at least 10 years. In 2016, just two months before the election, in a tape released by Access Hollywood, Trump admitted that he was a sexual deviant. His own words revealed his opinions about all women. He openly admitted that he believes women have only one purpose. He committed adultery multiple times while married to three wives. Over a period of about 15 years, he spent most of his time with his “bestie,” Jeffrey Epstein. It is no longer a secret that he made multiple trips to Epstein’s private island on his private jet. There are videos of the two degenerates partying at Mar-a-Lago. Although the mainstream media hides the information to protect their Fuhrer, there are records of when one 12-year-old girl filed a rape complaint against your illegitimate president. It was dropped and settle...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There are at least two Americas. One is composed of about 95 percent of citizens who work hard to make better lives for themselves, their children, and their grandchildren. My America is grateful for its diversity. We are a nation of immigrants. We are not perfect, but most try to be. We never ask for much, and we usually get less. The other America is occupied by men and women who came into great wealth at birth. Some obtained great wealth when offered “once in a lifetime opportunities” not available to the majority. As a small child, I never knew that I was poor. I remember my childhood as “great.” I didn’t have money in my pockets, I had “treasures” which were worth little or nothing but had meaning for me. I look back on my younger years and have mostly fond memories, although I understood the struggle my mother faced every day, worrying that her children might not have enough to eat. We always did, somehow. Trump and his oligarchs never faced “worry.” Their...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Change is mostly good, as long as it moves a nation forward and increases the quality of life for all people. However, Trump and his administration are regressive, and what they are doing to America is criminal and in direct opposition to the intent of the Constitution. As you well know, I constantly criticize Trump, and make jokes about him. The truth is, he deserves it. He was a terrible man in 2016, but in 2025, he has become the worst person on the planet. I consider myself a patriot, strongly believing in the words of satirist and comedian, Mark Twain. "Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it". Over the last 45 years, it has been rare for our government to receive any praise for its actions, and has become deserving of its condemnation for its failure to do the right thing. As I child in the 1950’s and 1960’s, I imagined our government as a group of men who spent their days attempting to find ways to improve ou...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You must remember the facts. President Biden’s stimulus checks rescued thousands of jobs and hundreds of small businesses, as well as our nation’s future economy from the constant failures of Donald John Trump.   Now, in 2025, I have no doubt that Trump would have preferred to extend the longest government shutdown in history until January 20, 2029. He is desperate to prevent the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s personal files. However, when Congress is fully in session, the pressure to release these documents will increase once again. Personally, I do not need additional proof that Trump must add “pedophile” to his list of vile and depraved “accomplishments.” Best friends for years, traveled on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times, seen partying together at Mar-a-Lago with multiple young women, and these two old, lechers as the only male guests, and an allegation by a 12-year-old girl that Trump raped her, all confirm what I already knew from my years of ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has pardoned some of the greatest criminals in modern history. Why not? The Supreme Court pardoned the orange buffoon for acts of treason on January 6, 2021, and violating the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021. One important fact is confirmed by his dangerous actions: Trump’s administration is indeed the Washington Mafia 2.0. I know that history will remember January 6, 2021 as the darkest day in American history. A sitting president spoke to his Nazi supporters just outside of the White House. He ordered them to march to the Capitol Building and prevent the certification of the Electoral College vote. The insurrection had been planned and organized over several weeks during meetings at the Willard Hotel. The events which followed resulted in a violent invasion on Capitol Hill as Trump’s mob searched the Capitol for Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence. Their orders were to hang them just outside of the Building. However, that was a minor offense compared to the fa...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is an irrefutable fact that Trump is the Definition of the mental disease, malignant narcissism. When he receives undeserved praise and worship from his cult, and his ego is satisfied, the old man is less likely to slip into one of his infamous fits filled with rage and violence. Ten years of studying the worst man in the world has convinced me that with his position as your illegitimate president, one man’s huge ego is in complete control of our planet’s future. 10 months into his second controversial presidency, he has once again accomplished nothing of value. He gave additional tax cuts to his 902 oligarchs, continues to take revenge on his enemies, and is currently destroying our nation’s most sacred building, the people’s White House. Trump’s little brain is fragile. It is very apparent that he not only suffers from malignant narcissism, he is in the middle stages of dementia. This makes him an even greater danger to the safety of the world. My question ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It doesn’t take a genius to look at Trump’s cabinet and closest advisers and realize that not one of these men and women are qualified to hold a position in our federal government. Among this group of incompetents are at least seven billionaires, at least one radical dangerous to our nation’s overall health, failed politicians, the wife of a professional wrestling promoter who taught him how to fake an attempted assassination. Your illegitimate president and vice-president are completely unfit to hold office at any level of government. They are the original “dumb and dumber.” Let’s be honest: America was founded on altruistic ideals and principles. However, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Monroe, Madison, and the others, underestimated the power of certain vices and the weakness of mankind, most significantly a desire for power and great wealth. Trump’s second administration is 100 times worse than the first. Trump and his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin, full...
