Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Prime Minister of Isreal, Benjamin Netanyahu, harbors a deep hatred for all Muslims His most recent actions in Gaza confirm my allegations. His murderous assault against Palestinian men, women, and children were nothing less than genocide. Netanyahu is scheduled to speak before the General Assembly on Thursday.  Although I have not read his speech as I write this, I have no doubt that he will attempt to justify his vile attacks against innocent victims of the war between the terrorist group, Hamas, and the people of Israel. Since 1948, Israel has been a “sacred cow,” protected by the United States and its allies. However, Netanyahu may have changed his nation’s status with all Muslims, and others who are aware that the only reason peace has not become a reality in the region is Netanyahu’s prejudice. I find it insane that individuals like Trump and Netanyahu can shape the future of the entire planet. REALITY Netanyahu is responsible for the deaths of mor...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret among informed American citizens that Trump idolized Adolf Hitler. He read the Fuhrer’s speeches over and over again, dreaming about the possibilities he might achieve in his own life. In 1987, Trump and his first trophy wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow at the invitation of the KGB. Vladimir Putin was its rising star. As you might expect, there are no records of their initial meeting. However, in 2013, while attending the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, compiled a dossier revealing secret meetings between Putin and Trump. Although the truth about Putin’s confirmed interference in the 2016 Presidential Election was not revealed until the election was certified by the Electoral College, it is now a proven fact that the Russian President’s interference was a factor in the results. Other reasons were misogyny among young male voters, James Comey’s 11 th hour announcement about a new investigation into Hillary C...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In our nation’s 250-year history, only one man will be known as the worst in our nation’s history. The damage he intentionally caused to our country’s future is irreparable and unforgivable. Trump began his endless lies with a baseless claim in 2011 that President Obama was not a natural born citizen, and was an illegitimate president. Although members of his staff claimed that he had no interest in becoming our nation’s president, after a documented meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, during the Miss Universe Pageant in 2013, Trump was ordered to seek the 2016 presidency by his handler. After he was declared the victor in a rigged election, this is what Trump has done to our nation in five years and nine months. The orange buffoon committed too many Constitutional violations to count. However, the two most egregious, both punishable by death, are treason and violating the Espionage Act. JANUARY  6, 2021 After Trump’s stacked Supreme Court gave him uncond...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If your family is like mine, wanting to be informed about what is happening to our country every day, your day probably begins like this: someone says, “you have to see this.” You respond, “what’s the moron done now.” Trump is unpredictable because he has no idea what he is doing until he makes another stupid and destructive decision. His decisions fail to accomplishment anything of a positive nature. However, he always embarrasses himself, and causes more damage to our nation’s people. When he can’t have his way with something, he reverts to what he is, a spoiled, white, rich child, and “throws another tantrum.” This is typical for anyone who was raised without taking responsibility for his or her own actions or inaction. DJT uses his military like a toddler sitting on his bedroom floor, deciding which toy to play with, or destroy next. AS WE GROW OLDER, SOME PEOPLE BECOME CHILDREN AGAIN Trump is a very old man. He became an octogenarian on June 14, 2026. Altho...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump, your illegitimate president, is a science denier. He refuses to accept the fact that climate change is caused by man’s overuse of fossil fuels. He is also in denial about the use of solar energy and wind. The latter is based on enormous campaign contributions from the petroleum industry. He has a new obsession: artificial intelligence. Intelligence is unfamiliar to the orange buffoon. Trump is a poorly educated man who did not earn his degree from Wharton. He wants to allow his billionare supporters to ecome even more wealthy, although the scientists who created the technology are expressing their concern about the danger it poses to all life on earth. A “KNOW NOTHING PRESIDENT,” AND HIS “DO NOTHING CONGRESS" Trump is a complete failure. His pitiful 80 years on earth have failed to produce a single accomplishment for anyone but himself. Although he knows nothing about AI: how it works or what it is capable of doing in the future: he thinks it ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As the midterm elections draw near, it’s time to rate your illegitimate president on what he has done, and what he has not done. First, the only thing he has done is to give additional tax breaks to the super-rich: his oligarchs/billionaires. That’s it. The issues he has either refused to address, or situations he made worse, are numerous. Trump destroyed the East Wing of the White House. He is building an unwanted and unnecessary ballroom. This fiasco will cost taxpayers nearly a quarter of a billion dollars if it is ever completed. During his administration, President Obama, spent about $34 million repairing the reflecting pool on the National Mall. Trump, attempting to undo another accomplishment of a real president, gave a “no bid” contract to a personal friend to make changes. It was a disaster, and remains incomplete. The cost, so far, is about $25 million. Trump’s celebration of our nation’s 250-year anniversary cost more than $150 million; most of it tax...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Midterm elections are less glamorous, less exciting, than general elections. However, they have an even greater importance than ever in 2026. On November 3 rd , the American people will vote for all 435 members of the House and one-third of the Senate. Pay great attention to this singular fact. In 2020’s historical election, a vote for Joe Biden was a vote against the worst president in history, Donald John Trump. Although President Biden became a very good, very effective president, most Americans simply wanted to evict our nation’s biggest mistake. A VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN IS A VOTE FOR TRUMP The Republican Party began its demise in 1981, and completely disappeared on January 20, 2017. Every man and woman running for office under the banner of the former Grand Old Party exists for one reason, to serve their king, their Fuhrer. Free thought and any form of opposition to Trump’s evil agenda is forbidden. Today, both houses of Congress are controlled by Trump’s ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A little history. Trump and first trophy wife, Ivana, met with the KGB and their rising star, Vladimir Putin, in Moscow in 1987. The couple received a formal invitation and eagerly accepted the opportunity. The second recorded meeting between Putin and Trump occurred in 2013, also in Moscow. The reason for Trump’s attendance was partially hidden by the “Miss Universe Pageant.” However, a dossier composed by former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, documented Trump’s actions. One of these was involved in the making of plans to win the U.S. presidency in 2016. This document has never been disproven, or invalidated. During Trump’s first illegitimate term, there were many phone conversations between Putin and his most valuable asset, hidden in plain sight inside of the White House, and documented for the national archives. MORE LINKS BETWEEN TRUMP AND HIS HANDLER The latter part of Trump’s 2016 campaign was funded by the late billionaire, Robert Mercer. Mercer was the...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On February 28, 2026, Trump unilaterally began missile strikes against the sovereign nation of Iran, without provocation. Iran has responded with counterattacks, killing a reported 18 members of United States military personnel. Seven months later, there is no indication that Trump’s war will ever end. Trump claims that this is not a war, because if it is, he has committed another huge violation of the Constitution. The truth is, he chose to attack Iran to create a distraction from his close association with pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. Seven months later He is unable to find a way out of this mess and not be blamed for another failure in a life composed of losses and defeat. IF YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE WORST MAN IN THE WORLD, YOU WILL NOT LIKE THESE FACTS War: a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations (2): a period of such armed conflict This definition confirms another constitutional violation by America’s most pro...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart At the age of 16, I became another “Catholic Church dropout.” I had left my Catholic high school because I had many questions but no answers. As I learned more about how people in less fortunate countries suffered, while their leaders enjoyed lives of luxury. I had even more questions when I learned that the poverty rate in my own country was about 21 percent. How could this be true when politicians frequently boasted that “America is the greatest and richest country in the world?” One-fifth of all Ameican citizens faced a daily struggle to simply survive. In 2026, the poverty level is about 11 percent. When added to the number of men, women, and children considered “low-income,” nearly one-third of all Americans are not included in “the richest country in the world.” The addition of families on the lower side of the middle-income population, confirms the fact that about one-half of all Americans find it difficult to maintain an acceptable quality of life. Ameri...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump would like to believe that the fact he is using an economic policy which has failed the American people for the last 45 years,  added to the Greedflation problem and increased the national debt by $3.8 trillion, is acceptable. Every working-class American is struggling to survive, while his billionaires/oligarchs are stuffing money into their pockets as fast as possible. What few Americans are aware of is the fact that hate crimes against women, minorities, the LGBTQ community, and all non-Christians increased by 800 percent on the day Trump was nominated by the former Republican Party in July of 2016. This problem remains on the list of domestic terrorism today. Like trickle-down economics, Hate begins at the top and flows quickly to the bottom and the bottom feeders. Donald Trump is an open book. His lifelong affliction of malignant narcissism forces him to care for no one but himself. Therefore, anyone who disagrees with him, or challenges his belie...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Promises made, promises broken. “I will end inflation on day one. I will end the invasion of Ukraine on day one. With me as your president, there will be no more wars on foreign land.” These were just three of the campaign promises made by Trump in 2024. As expected, all of them have been broken. Wednesday evening, at a less than impressive rally in Dallas, Trump made two more promises, which were actually attempts to bribe American voters. MONEY IN YOUR POCKET AND LOWER GAS PRICES? How low can Trump go? I don’t think we’ve seen the worst of him yet. However, during another rambling and boring tirade, Donny Boy offered $5000,00 to voters after the midterm election if Republicans retained control of the House and Senate. He made another promise he cannot keep, claiming that his war against Iran would come to an end “immediately after the election.” There is no realistic end in sight. I cannot speak for anyone else. However, after researching and writing about Don...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Why does Trump hate Latinos? History explains his lack of respect for Black Americans: his father was a racist, and Donny Boy was influenced by his grandfather’s and father’s heritage. I have no doubt that many of the men and women who work inside and outside of Trump’s “billionaire’s playground,” known as Mar-a-Lago, have ancestors who originally came from a Latin American Country or Mexico. Maids, and the men who perform groundskeeping duties are undoubtedly individuals whose first language is Spanish.   It is very possible that I am looking at this situation in a very narrow manner. It’s highly probable that they are simply not pure white or wealthy. Trump’s bigotry is much larger than hatred for one race, or a single ethnicity. CHANGING NAMES DOES NOT CHANGE HISTORY OR REALITY Trump’s fetish is moronic, and makes no sense. He wants to change the name of some building, gulf, lake, or state every day. I assume that he comes up with these ideas in the middl...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From November 8, 2016 until today, the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” in 2026, continue to surround Donald Trump, attempting to protect him from paying for the most serious crimes any American citizen can commit. It appears that Democrats and Independents will retake control of the House, and quite possibly the Senate in November. Sometimes, you do get everything you paid for. Trump has become the right-wing’s albatross. Trump’s many, many crimes range from lying to the American people incessantly, and escalated to the ultimate and brazen act of treason on January 6, 2021. History will report his pitiful existence as a life composed entirely of crime and debauchery. WHY REPUBLICANS IN NAME ONLY SURRENDERED THEIR INTEGRITY AND MORALS TO THE WORST MAN ON EARTH When a very popular president, Barack Obama, was in his final year of his second term, Republicans were desperate to find a candidate who would excite their shrinking base of supporters, and...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Liars, fraud, massive corruption, graft, and incompetence: these are part of the list of negative attributes which compose the Trump administration.   Recent surveys reveal one critical fact about the upcoming midterm elections: all Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike are fed up with Trump and his anti-American administration. Let me set the record straight: I consider the leaders of our military sitting on their fat derrières in the Pentagon a significant part of Trump’s fascist army. If I believed that before, I am 100 percent convinced after the firing of employees working for “Stars and Stripes.” MILITARY BRASS, LIVING LIVES OF LUXURY AND PRIVILEGE, WHILE REGULAR MILITARY PERSONNEL STRUGGLE WHEN THEY RETURN HOME Stars and Stripes began publishing its magazine in 1861. The following is its mission statement. [Core Purpose: The sole mission of Stars and Stripes is to provide first-hand reporting from bases around the world and unbiased, credible new...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am in a good mood today. The men and women on the right side of the aisle who call themselves “Republicans,” have a serious problem, a conundrum. If they continue to support Trump’s destructive and unconstitutional policies, they will lose the one thing most important to them: winning elections.   With his approval rating in the 20’s, Trump has become an albatross. He announced yesterday that he would be campaigning for members of his party who are in close contests in November. But they don’t want him. Trump is the most hated public figure in modern history. He’s worked hard to earn that label. FAILED POLICIES, AND VERY BAD CHOICES Trump has been following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025, since January 20, 2025. Fascism is not popular among real Americans, and his economic policy is causing enormous harm to the working class, whose quality of life is in steep decline. It is highly likely that his illegal and immoral war against Iran was the fatal ...

Op-ed by TheWseOldFart Three elections, but only one candidate. It is obvious that right-wing politicians are unable to find a better, more qualified presidential candidate than Trump. There are 271 Republicans in the House and Senate, and not a single one of them is capable of becoming our president? Imagine that. The world knows that Trump is a fool, and a tool. He is woefully unfit to lead our nation and is proving this truth every day he remains in office. His final iota of proof was unilaterally declaring a war on Iran in a thinly veiled effort to hide his close association with Jeffrey Epstein. Apparently, Trump remains far more qualified than every other man and woman calling themselves “Republican,” who spend some of their days on Capitol Hill. IGNORE THE REMARKS OF POLITICIANS AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: ONLY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MATTER Who is the worst president in history? The people have spoken. In a recent poll, not only was Trump in first place as the worst president in hist...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, facts you may never see or hear on the mainstream media. The national debt is now more than 40 trillion dollars. Four trillion dollars were added during Trump’s first administration between 2017 and 2021. When he took office in 2025, the deficit was 36.2 trillion dollars. During his year and eight months, his failed economic policies added 3.8 trillion dollars to this growing debt. How did this happen? It’s all there for you to read, if you care. LOWERING TAXES FOR THE SUPER RICH: FAILURE TO PASS UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, WASTEFUL SPENDING, CORRUPTION WITHIN THE PENTAGON Trump and his corrupt party continue to give tax cuts to the super rich and large corporations. Because thousands of deductions are available in the tax code, no wealthy American pays the maximum of 37 percent: the lowest rate of any developed nation in the world. The corporate tax rate is a flat 21 percent, before deductions. In 2018, after Trump’s first round of tax cuts, Amazon and Walmart...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump wants to have his name, the most hated name in the world, on everything. I share the feelings of millions of other Americans who cherish the Constitution, and want to see Trump’s name on a single place:  a tombstone. Fred Trump should have pulled out in 1946. Trump is the most destructive American in history. He has intentionally divided our nation’s people, destroyed America’s economy,, and the White House, and is makiing the world a more dangerous for more than four billion people. AN OCTOGENARIAN SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILLNESS AND PHYSICAL DECLINE Trump’s mental acuity is in steep decline. Malignant Narcissism, combined with dementia, prevents him from performing his duties. Falling asleep during important meetings in the White House, and swelling and discoloration in his extremities offer undeniable proof that his physical status is tenuous at best. This mentally deficient old man actually believed that he could change the names of the Gulf of Mexic...
