Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is highly likely that I have written at least one article about every evil act committed by Trump, his Fascist Party, and his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Much of the damage caused by Trump and his Nazi supporters is irreparable, at least for several decades in the future. I hate Trump and what has become the American Nazi Party. I never use that word. However, Trump has earned its use by me and any loyal and patriotic American. The underlying truth is undeniable. Everything which is happening to our country from the most corrupt politicians in history is farcical. None of it is real, and all of it proves that evil is real, and if there was a “God,” He or She is definitely dead. The following is a short list of what is real and what is not. A real President of the United States follows the rules contained in the Constitution. Trump violates his oath of office, to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, fo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike the mainstream media, I refuse to tiptoe around the edges of the truth. I will always jump right into the middle and tell you what’s really happening in Washington. Whatever country in which I live today, it is not the United States of America. In just one year Trump has destroyed the ideals, principles, and the reputation of a nation which was once the most respected in the world. Trump intentionally creates chaos, fear, and anger throughout the world every day. He is the worst and most hated man in modern history. Inside America, the statement made by former FBI Director, Christopher Wray, that ‘domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people,’ has become a reality. What he did not predict is the fact that the leader of domestic violence in America has become the old, obese man violating our White House today. His personal Gestapo is a poorly trained group of thugs, villains, and Nazis posing as “law enforcement officers.” ICE is perfor...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I despise and attempt to eliminate from my life emotions of anger and hatred. I reject all forms of violence including the death penalty, and all wars and invasions. Anger is a waste of time, hate is almost always based on ignorance. Killing another human being is playing God.. There are rare exceptions to hatred, and there is no better example than Donald John Trump. Trump’s entire 325-350 pounds are composed of hatred. He, his administration, his political party composed of Nazis, and all broadcast television networks claiming to be “conservative,” but are in fact propaganda machines for right-wing extremists, constantly spread hatred which eventually breeds violence. His deliberate effort to destroy our nation from within is the reason every true American learned to accept hatred for the orange buffoon. As I grew into adulthood in the 1960’s, I paid more attention to what was happening in Washington. I wasn’t shocked, but I was a little surprised about the an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart We’re a little slow, but when the situation becomes unbearable, the American people eventually stand up and say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore.” It’s time for ICE to be disbanded. Trump’s personal Gestapo is composed of villains and thugs. The level of violence from this group of less than humans, is escalating rapidly. When Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE agents in Minneapolis, the Trump administration began telling outrageous lies in an effort to cover-up the truth. However, eyewitness accounts combined with two videos don’t lie. This was an act of first-degree murder committed by a group of Nazis. On Thursday, two additional innocent American citizens were shot by Trump’s Gestapo in Portland. After the man and woman were rushed to a hospital, their condition unknown, Portland city council member, Sameer Kanal, had this to say.  “You are hearing and you are seeing attempts to justify the unjustifiable, to completely defend the in...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Thugs, villains, criminals, racists, bigots, Nazis: these terms clearly define the men who compose Trump’s personal Gestapo known as ICE. What happened in Minneapolis to 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was bound to happen. ICE has been escalating its acts of violence over the last 12 months. As a group, they continue to demonstrate a total lack of respect for human life. Like all schoolyard bullies, Trump is using ICE to commit crimes against humanity in his name. Trump and his woefully unqualified Director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, are lying to cover-up what is clearly an act of murder. They claim that this mother of three was attempting to drive her vehicle into members of Trump’s Gestapo. This vile event happened in a residential neighborhood, and the following is an eyewitness account. [A witness to the shooting told CNN her "life is forever changed" after what happened. Emily Heller recounted how she was in the middle of making breakfast wh...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It has become personal. I trusted in the thousands of respected economists who warned us about the idiocy and probable collapse of our nation’s economy if Trump refused to listen and placed tariffs on nearly every nation in the world. Yesterday my wife and I experienced additional proof that your illegitimate president is mentally challenged and is now a complete moron. Our grocery bills have risen since last January. Yesterday my bride picked up a prescription, one she has taken for several years. The last time she had it refilled, the cost was about $50.00. Yesterday, it was over $100.00. The fact that Trump continues to have a single supporter worries me. Has the average intelligence of our nation dropped far below the norm? Has common sense become a thing of the past? Trump has never possessed an intellect which I would describe as “average.” However, as he nears the age of 80, when most men are wise enough to stay home and keep their opinions to themselves,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The proof is before us every minute of every day, on the boob tube and on the internet. The worst man in the world is following the path of his idol and causing enormous harm to billions of people to satisfy his own ungodly needs. Trump is proof that “money is the root of all evil.” Nothing else, not sexual desire, or a desire to have all the latest “toys” comes close to the need to accumulate outrageous wealth. That was the easy part of this story. The mainstream media has enjoyed increased profits over the last 10 years as they focused their cameras on Trump incessantly. Sensationalism increases viewership, and therefore advertising revenue. They have no interest in the truth, only how much money they receive. Every major news network is owned by one of Trump’s oligarchs. The Fourth Estate began its rapid demise in June of 2015 when Trump rode down the escalators and declared his plan to destroy America from the inside out. Thanks to a cowardly and hypocritica...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart My wife and I were retired on January 6, 2021. We were watching television when the broadcast was interrupted with an announcement of “BREAKING NEWS.” The next thing we saw was a hastily constructed wooden structure but no one was standing on it. A couple of minutes later we saw the humongous ass of your illegitimate president struggling to walk up two stairs and stand behind a microphone. Thus began the “big lie,” and the darkest day in American history. Trump addressed a small number of his cult’s members. We later learned that an even larger number were already outside of the Capitol building. First, he told the big lie, although every court in the land, including his own, stacked Supreme Court threw out the cases before them, claiming that he had won the November 2020 election. Then he ordered them to march to the Capitol and prevent the certification of the Electoral College vote. Although this is a requirement contained in the Constitution, the old, obese ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 2025 was a very, very long year. Some of you may have forgotten that Trump’s attacks on America began with efforts to punish minorities and the poor for not being rich and white. Diversity, equity, and inclusion, known as DEI, is a purely American ideal. If we are all equal under the law, and share the same Constitutional and Human rights, it simply makes sense. However, Trump is a Nazi. His fascist policies, contained in the right-wing’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, claim that all non-whites, and all ethnicities not originating from Western Europe are inferior, and therefore not protected by the Constitution. It’s commonly called “white supremacy,” and Trump is its leader. The United States District Attorney, and the Department of Justice, including the FBI, are intended to be separate from the executive branch. However, Pam Bonie and her DOJ take their orders directly from the orange buffoon. Tood Blanche, Deputy District Attorney, and another Trump stooge...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America has been guilty of Imperialism for most of its 249 years. We “stick our noses” into situations in other countries and make the conditions worse. Imperialism: “a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force.” In my 79 years, a relatively short period of time in the history of the world, I have witnessed American imperialism in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Afghanistan may be the worst example of the ignorance of an American president and his administration in history. George W. Bush ordered an attack inside Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. He told the American people that our intelligence agencies had located the architect of the attacks on 9/11 in a country with a long history of wars, and harboring criminals. Bin Laden was located in a cave located in the Tora Bora area of Afghanistan. However, when Bush learned that the actual area where bin Laden was located was in Pakistan, he ended...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart War Crimes can be added to Trump’s dark and dismal resume. He is not alone. Our military brass, those who hide in the Pentagon, are complicit with the worst man in the world. Beginning in his early days, Trump revealed his worship of Adolf Hitler. Several friends of his first wife, Ivana, were told that he read Hitler’s speeches every evening before going to sleep. Today, the fifth day of a new, and possibly last year of life on planet earth, Trump has begun his own fascist plan for world domination. His efforts have been sanctioned by his own party, the Supreme Court, and the Pentagon. He also has a partner in his vile plans, his mentor, Vladimir Putin. The United Nations Security Council is currently in session to discuss Trump’s latest crimes against humanity, and international law. The UN chief António Guterres told ambassadors there must be respect for national sovereignty, “political independence and territorial integrity,” after warning on Saturday that t...

   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If the American people have learned anything about their illegitimate president, there are two facts which stand above all others. He will do anything to prevent the exposure of his penchant for pedophilia, and the fact that his book, “The Art of the Deal,” was nothing more than a fairy tale. Trump is a lifelong schoolyard bully. All bullies are cowards and use others to fight their battles. Trump is using the incompetent men and women in the Pentagon to redirect attention from the facts contained in the Epstein files and place focus on his war crimes. What happened off the coast of Venezuela and Nigeria are nothing but acts of premeditated murder. Most American presidents attempt diplomatic discussion prior to military action. Trump lacks any ability to communicate and therefore any talent for honest and meaningful negotiation. With another Constitutional violation, Trump began military action against a sovereign nation, Venezuela, alleged M...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like your illegitimate president, I will be 80 years old this year if I live for another six months. Unlike Trump, I have grown. I learned from both my accomplishments and my mistakes. I recognized how the little changes in my life made a big difference and why I am the man I am today. My life has been filled with good times and bad. I did my best, but that was not always good enough. I never gave up, and as I enter the last chapter of my life on earth, I am satisfied that I did the best I could. I learned that no one is perfect. Trump and I may be the same age, chronologically, but he and I are extremely different, and only one of us has accomplished anything of value in his life. Trump clearly made a choice in his early teens that he would pursue a life of pleasure, rejecting a path which might have accomplished something of importance; something of value. Simply put, he refused to reach maturity. This is sad because he was born into extreme white ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “I love wars, even the nuclear kind.” This was a statement made by your illegitimate president during the 2016 campaign. As the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s personal documents grew near, Trump began attempts to redirect the expected proof that he is a pedophile, and create fear within our nation’s people. He wants a war more than anything else he can imagine. Only another illegal war, created by a Republican president, could force the people to redirect their focus. In collusion with the Pentagon, Trump began ordering the murders of passengers in power boats off the coast of Venezuela. He claimed they were transporting illicit drugs but had no proof. That was just the beginning. The truth is, these actions are war crimes, and our military leaders are guilty for their violations of the UCMJ, the Universal Code of Military Justice. He is now threatening an invasion of Iran. Protesters are filling the streets, blaming their government for a failing economy resultin...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Intelligent humans learn as much or more from their mistakes than they do from their successes. Contrary to claims by the orange buffoon, pretending to be your president, no one is or ever has been perfect. As he did between 2017 and 2021, he constantly brags about accomplishments which are clearly non-existent. What Trump has “accomplished” in his first year as your illegitimate president are all destructive and will require decades to undo. Here is a short list of his failures. Sadly, there is not a single positive success to find. A failure to end Inflation/Greedflation. The problem has been escalated by his ill-advised tariffs. Unemployment is rapidly rising across the nation. This situation is the result of his failed economic policies. The opinions of our allies are critical. In the 21 st century, the future of every nation is only sustainable if it has loyal allies. Today, in 2026, America is no longer a respected and revered nation. Trump’s actions, com...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The mainstream media is constantly hiding facts from the American people. I will never offer less than the truth to my readers. Trump sent National Guard Troops to Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago for one reason, and one reason only: to prevent the “No Kings” protests against his authoritarian and fascist actions by true and patriotic Americans. As America’s leading hypocrite, he is taking action to protect protestors, albeit in a Muslim nation. Protests against the failure of Iran’s leaders based on a declining economy, have turned deadly. “If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” Throughout our nation’s 249 years, our federal government continues to interfere with events occurring in other nations. We are not a “great nation,” and we are not the “world’s police force.” We have no right to impose our beliefs on other nations...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As an original baby boomer, patriotism was all around me. My father had returned from a ship in the Pacific in 1945. He had survived the war to prevent the spread of fascism. I was born in Lewiston, Idaho, in 1946. With jobs now plentiful in Los Angeles and other major cities, my maternal grandparents, me, my mother, father, my little brother, and one of my uncles moved to the City of Angels in 1952. In the fall, I was sent to St. Mark’s Elementary School to attend 1 st grade. Every morning our teacher, a nun, had us face the American flag standing in the corner and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Those words, and their meaning, will live inside my head for the rest of my life. However, in 2025, they mean nothing to the orange buffoon defiling our White House. Today is the first day of 2026: a new beginning which offers hope for the return of democracy, and freedom to all people living inside the United States of America, regardless of race, sex, religious pre...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This story may not excite you or awaken your strongest emotions. However, it clearly reveals that your illegitimate president is void of concern for anyone but himself and the super-rich, and lacks integrity, undeserving of the respect of any true American. It concerns the first two vetoes of his second illegitimate presidency. The bipartisan bills are designed to make it easier to build a water pipeline in Colorado and give a Native American tribe more control over a portion of the Everglades. [One of the bills — the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act — would have added a small village called the Osceola Camp to a section of the Florida Everglades that the Miccosukee Native American Tribe has control over. It would also require the Department of the Interior to take action to protect structures in the village from flooding.] Trump gave his own reason for vetoing the bill, based on vengeance and hatred for anyone whose origin is now western European and whi...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 50-year mortgages? Would you be willing to pay three times the cost of a new home and never live to see the loan marked “paid in full?” The American Dream has become just that: a dream. According to most leading economists, generation “X” and those who follow, will never have careers with an income which allows them to purchase a single-family home. In my area of the United States, Northern Nevada, new homes are under construction. However, the focus is clearly on building large apartment buildings. The average rent on a one-bedroom apartment in Reno, NV, ranges from about $1,350 to over $1,800 per month. The consensus is that the average salary in Reno is 35-36 thousand dollars per year. I am not a math wizard, but it appears that rental rates on a one-bedroom apartment in Reno are likely to be more than one-half of one month’s wages. The average price of a single-family home is between $545,000 and $578,000. Monthly payments range between $3,200, and $3,900. I...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart At the end of the Constitutional Convention in 1789, our Founding Fathers were aware that their creation was imperfect. Unaware of the inherent evils of mankind, they mistakenly believed that their successors would make the necessary improvements which would make the United States a truly great nation. However, they also displayed great wisdom. The First Amendment is considered the most important declaration of human rights in history by Constitutional scholars. Allow me to refresh your memory. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The first line was clearly the most important to every man attending the convention. Most of the men who signed the Constitution were Deists. A few were Christians. All of them were spiritual. What the...
