Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Some facts about the current leadership in the Pentagon. Our military leaders have lost every war since WWII. However, each year Congress increases the Pentagon’s budget, although it was clear that they wasted 50 percent of their previous budget attempting to create the “ultimate weapon,” regardless of futility and waste. In 2026, the Pentagon received $961.6 billion dollars. However, the worst was yet to come. COMMITTING WAR CRIMES AND VIOLATING THE UCMJ I grew up watching every John Wayne WWII movie ever made. They increased my already profound feelings of patriotism. However, today’s military leaders are not actors, and their actions are far from noble. First, an important fact. The Pentagon is not bound by law to obey the orders of their Commander-in-Chief if those orders violate the Constitution or the Universal Code of Military Justice. Trump and Hegseth’s murders of more than 100 passengers on speed boats off the coast of Venezuela, are actions of nothing...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First and foremost, massive corruption is the reason the federal government of the United States is dysfunctional and irreparable in its current state. But who or what allowed such a level of corruption to become the norm in Washington D.C.? Number one is why our national motto has changed from “e pluribus unum,” to “profit before people”. ONLY ONE MAN CAN BE REMEMBERED AS “THE PEOPLE’S PRESIDENT” In 1932 the greatest President in America’s history was elected by the people. Big business had a stranglehold on America’s working class after the Great Depression of 1929. Franklin Delano Roosevelt fought for all Americans until he died during his fourth term in 1945. His policies improved the quality of life for the working class and allowed big business to take care of itself. Without FDR the only perfect law would never have been passed. He signed the Social Security Act in 1935 and today, in the 21 st century, most older Americans rely on Social Security for mos...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Waging war without Congressional approval. Using our nation’s military to control and disperse protests. Exceeding his powers with the firing of government employees who were charged with investigating his crimes of treason and his many violations of the Espionage Act. Attempting to suppress voting rights. Ordering the investigation of private information of thousands of Americans. Incarcerating and murdering immigrants and American citizens without due process. Ignoring the 14 th Amendment with attempts to remove citizenship from tens-of-millions of naturally born citizens. Removing the Constitutional rights of Black Americans, Hispanics, and Muslims. These are just a few of the many Constitutional violations committed by you illegitimate president. ACTIONS COMBINED WITH ILLITERATE AND RAMBLING SPEECH CONFIRM TRUMP’S MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DECLINE Trump was impeached twice between 2017 and 2021 for two of his many Constitutional violations. Trump 2.0 is destructi...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In 2015, as Trump held one of his first hate rallies, he told his cult, “I love war, even the nuclear kind.” He also told the truth for one of his very few times in his then 69 years: “I love spending other people’s money.” He’s doing a damn good job of wasting your tax dollars in 2026. TRUMP CLEARLY FAILED EVERY ECONOMICS CLASS HE FAILED TO ATTEND It was our third President, Thomas Jefferson who said: “Never spend your money before you have it.” In 2025, America’s income was about 5.23 trillion dollars. The national debt rose to $38 trillion. Trump’s War is costing taxpayers more than one billion dollars each day, and there is no money in the national treasury to cover that huge waste of taxpayer contributions. Do you think the super-rich, who benefit financially from wars, should pay their fair share? Trump is demanding Congress approve a 2027 budget of more than 1.5 trillion dollars. None of it will go to the American people, A huge part of that unfathomable ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am a proud, lifelong pacifist. There are no “winners” in a war or any form of physical combat. Everyone loses, and no one can prove me wrong. However, two mentally deranged white men are eagerly murdering thousands of innocent men, women, and children in what is being called “Trump’s Iran War.” THE VIOLENCE BEGAN ON THE COAST OF VENEZUELA Trump and his brother from another mother, Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, supported by an incompetent and fascist Pentagon, began murdering passengers on power boats racing along the shores of Venezuela. They claimed justification based on an unproven assertion that these boats were transporting illegal drugs. Nothing has ever confirmed this old adage more accurately: “when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.” Trump is not intelligent enough to gaslight our nation’s people as he nears the age of 80. The mainstream media will not report the exact number of those murdered by missiles fired from a U.S. Navy ship, bu...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From the time statistics were kept, the percentage of attempted voter fraud is .012 percent. With very few exceptions, all of these efforts were stopped before the votes were counted. After the historic results of the 2020 election were posted, Trump’s own Election Czar, Chris Korebs, told the press: “the 2020 election was the safest and most secure election in history.” Trump immediately fired him for telling the truth. After an investigation into the 2024 election, it is clear that voting by mail is much safer than voting on machines located in polling facilities across America. At least two or our nation’s most credible cyber security agencies claimed that Russian hackers accessed the voting machines in all seven swing states in the 2024 election, and once again Trump’s victory was illegitimate, rigged by Vladimir Putin. THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP’S EFFORT TO CEASE VOTING BY MAIL A fact your government and the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know is that when...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Our nation is in a serious battle to save its existence. One old, obese, mentally deficient man has been supported by the former Republican Party, now accurately labeled the American Nazi Party, must decide to support his goal to become an all-powerful dictator who is determined to achieve world domination, or preserve the United States of America. WHERE AMERICA STANDS TODAY Every American must accept the fact that Trump’s affliction with malignant narcissism began early in adolescence. He was removed from his family home at the age of 13, and sent to a military boarding school. It is perfectly clear today that his lack of parental guidance and influence is responsible for the mentally challenged old man who is destroying the very core of what being an American meant to me and millions of others who were raised after the end of WWII.   DESPERATE EFFORTS FOR RELEVANCE AND IMPORTANCE When a young man or woman is abandoned by his parents during adolescence, he ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s invasion of Iran is both illegal and immoral. Most Americans oppose another unwinnable war in the Middle East. Trump made a unilateral decision to attack Iran based on lies and misinformation. The Constitution means nothing to Trump: only Congress can declare war. This war has already claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Iranian civilians—including 200 children—and 13 U.S. service members. This reckless and immoral war, which has driven gasoline prices up roughly a third to an average of $3.98 in the United States, cost $11.3 billion in the first six days alone. As of today, Trump has wasted more than 25 billion dollars of taxpayer money in an attempt to annihilate every Muslim in the nation of Iran. ONCE AGAIN, TRUMP HAS NO PLAN TO END THE ATTACKS ON IRAN: HE IS ABOUT TO PUT “BOOTS ON THE GROUND” Trump is completely incompetent. He has no idea what he is doing and no plan for how long his deadly attacks will continue. Make no mistake about the facts. Th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has accomplished many firsts. However, none of them are beneficial for the people of our country. The truth is, Trump is not a man, and possibly inhuman. He is the Antichrist risen straight from hell to destroy the once ‘most respected nation in the world.’He enjoys murdering innocent people and inflicting pain on anyone in our nation who remains loyal to their country and the Constitution. Yesterday, March 28, 2026, one of the largest protests in our nation’s history  took place in all 50 states and in every Congressional District. However, the “No Kings” protests were not exclusive to America. There were protests around the world. Men, women, and children carried signs with “Dump Trump” written on them as they marched in the streets wherever they lived. I HAVE BEEN CRITICIZED FOR COMPARING TRUMP TO HITLER: I HAVE BEEN VINDICATED MANY TIMES Trump’s first trophy wife, Ivana, told her friends that her husband read Adolf Hitler’s speeches every night bef...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every child in America has been told at least once that ‘he or she could grow up and become the President of the United States. I never believed that, but I must admit that at the age of 79, I now know this was the truth. Defiling the people’s White House today is an old, obese man who fails to possess a single quality or ability which would make him eligible to wear the title of President. However, this evil and deranged man offers irrefutable proof that anyone can become president in America. WHAT YOU DON’T NEED TO BECOME THE LEADER OF 340 MILLION PEOPLE Trump lacks average intelligence, he is poorly educated, and, although he pretended to be your president for four years between 2017 and 2021, he remains inexperienced and lacks the knowledge to perform the duties of an American president. His policies mimic those of a third-world dictator. Over the last 10+ years we learned the truth about the “real Donald Trump.” Trump’s life story is a tale about failure an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Last Monday, a poll revealed that Trump’s approval rating dropped to 36 percent; the lowest for a second term president in modern history. As Trump’s War against Iran continues, and gas prices escalate, his very low numbers are expected to continue on a downward spiral. WHAT HAS TRUMP ACCOMPLISHED? All politicians make promises they know they’ll never keep. However, when the promises come from the man or woman the states choose to lead our nation, we pay attention. Trump promised to end inflation, more accurately known as “Greedflation,” on day one. He also promised to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine immediately, During his many hate rallies, he promised to end military conflicts around the world and prevent America from becoming involved in another unwinnable war. In January 2025, Trump and his campaign financier, Elon Musk, began taking revenge on anyone who disagreed with the orange buffoon’s fascist plans for America. Thousands of men and women who actually...

    Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America is broke. The National Treasury just declared the United States “insolvent.” It’s a simple word which when used to describe a nation’s economic status, it is devastating. What does it mean to be insolvent? 1: having ceased paying or unable to pay debts as they fall due in the usual course of business compare bankrupt. 2. : having liabilities in excess of a reasonable market value of assets held. If you have been following Trump’s wasteful and moronic spending, you are not surprised. In 2025, Trump added more than four trillion dollars to the national debt while reducing taxes for the super-rich. HOW BAD IS IT? My wife and I carefully manage our finances every month. We are retired, on a fixed income, and that fact combined with Greedflation and Trump’s ill-advised tariffs, make our very existence difficult to say the least. To survive, every country must do the same thing. However, when your leaders in Washington are as corru...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s the truth: Trump has no friends. He is the least likable person I have ever witnessed in front of a television camera. He is surrounded by dozens of men and women who are using him, hoping to achieve their own ambitions. You might have noticed that even Jared and Ivanka have kept their distance from the old, obese braggart over the last 14 months. After being “run out” of New York City and his garish and tasteless home in Trump Tower, he ran to South Florida and his pretentious millionaires and billionaires’ playpen, Mar-a-Lago. Although he and his oligarchs appear friendly to the uninformed, these super-rich men and women are using him to increase their personal wealth by avoiding paying their fair share of taxes. Trump’s low level of intelligence and need for relevance makes him the perfect tool for Putin and others in power. WHAT DO THE PEOPLE OF PALM BEACH THINK OF THE ORANGE BUFFOON? Tuesday’s special election in Florida may offer an in...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Super-rich, professional politicians, fake Christians, the Pentagon, corrupt members of the Supreme Court, the Department of Justice, and, all law enforcement. If you are a hard-working, patriotic American, the groups previously listed are your enemies. They serve an old, fat, mentally damaged traitor, not their country, and definitely not you and me. It is a widely known fact that Trump’s only loyalty is to Donald Trump, and not to anyone else. Over the last 10+ years we have watched Trump demand complete loyalty to him, but has not offered the same to others. WHY WOULD THE ABOVE NAMED GROUPS SUPPORT TRUMP? Donald John Trump is a traitor, a sexual predator, and the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. So, if you love your country, how could you possibly support the worst man in the world? The answer is clear and undeniable. America is no longer a capitalistic society, it is a plutocracy, also known as an oligarchy. A plutocracy cannot be sustained in a na...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Throughout history, tyrannical despots have been deposed by force. Great power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, and for weak men, unavoidable. One man cannot be allowed to place his personal ambitions ahead of an entire nation. IL DUCE Benito Mussolini created the Italian Fascist Party. By April of 1945, it was apparent that his dream of re-creating his country into a modern day Rome would fail. The allies were coming, and his fate was clear. Mussolini was Adolf Hitler’s primary ally. He was unaware that the Third Reich was negotiating a complete surrender. His Nazi friend could no longer protect the ruthless dictator. On April 27, as he and his mistress attempted to escape by car, he was detained in Dongo, hidden in a small farmhouse overnight. The following day, Mussolini and Petacci were removed from the house and driven to the small village of Giulino di Mezzegra on the shores of Lake Como. They were forced to stand in front of a brick wall and executed by machi...

Fascism has returned: Trump and Putin are seeking world domination. Our nation's people and its economic future  are being destroyed by the Orange Buffoon. Fuhrer Donald Trump is the only danger to world peace in the 21st century. Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart  

Article 5 of the NATO charter is the only reason there has not been a WWIII. Putin's lifelong goal is to end NATo and then America. Trump wants to end NATO. Think about it. Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart  

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here are a few of the promises Trump made during the 2016 and 2024 campaigns: none of which he kept. In fact, Trump 2.0 is 100 times worse than the first. PROMISES MADE, PROMISES BROKEN Trump told his supporters: “I know the best people, and I will have the most qualified administration ever.” This would be funny if his “people” were human and cared about their country. The orange buffoon promised the American people that he would get “criminals off of our streets, including rapists and murderers.” He continues to pardon the worst of the worst, including the murderous 1600 who invaded the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. “I will only detain and deport the worst criminals who are in our country illegally.” Donald John Trump. ICE is kidnapping anyone who is clearly not pure white, including American citizens. Trump swore: “on day one I will end Greedflation.” And: “on day one I will end the invasion of Ukraine.” My wife and I are spending more on groceries and...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Any American citizen who watched the horrific events on January 6, 2021, and is honest with themselves, is fully aware that Trump committed treason. He planned and organized the insurrection at the Willard Hotel in D.C., and executed the violent attacks while standing just outside of the White House. In any other nation in the world, he would have been executed on that very day. Another “only in America.” Our laws have never applied to the rich and the powerful. I will never stop thinking about those three hours for as long as I live. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT ALLOWED TRUMP TO BECOME A DICTATOR Six corrupt Supreme Court justices granted Trump total immunity, giving him powers rejected by our Founding Fathers. Trump will also never be punished for violating the Espionage Act when he illegally removed a large number of national secrets from his former temporary residence on January 20, 2021. The highest Court in the land recreated America on that day, making it a na...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As a political writer, I have covered Trump since 2015. For more than ten years, I have informed my readers about the “real Donald Trump.” I have found nothing which might offer a positive or even patriotic side of the old, obese, ignorant man defiling our White House today. As disappointing as this is, it is the truth, and I kept one promise for more than ten years: the truth lives here. WHEN THE PRESIDENCY IS INVOLVED, AGE IS A FACTOR Trump, his party, and the late-night television shows discussed President Biden’s age ad nauseum. However, these same or similar comments have not been directed towards the orange buffoon pretending to be your president today. On June 14, Trump will become an octogenarian. He is far too old to lead a country or even a Boy Scout Troop. Three weeks after we mourn his birthday, I will have completed 80 years on the planet. I guarantee you that my mental acuity far surpasses that of your illegitimate president. MEMORY AND THE ABILITY...
