Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fact: the Republican Party began to take its final breaths in 1981. Today, the Party of Lincoln is nothing but a memory. There are many reasons that this travesty occurred, but at the center are efforts by one extremist group of leaders calling themselves “Evangelicals.” [The term evangelical refers to a worldwide movement within Protestant Christianity that emphasizes the authority of the Bible, the "good news" (gospel) of salvation through Jesus Christ, and the personal experience of being "born”] IF YOU IGNORE THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN Growing up Catholic, and attending Parochial school, I read the Bible, and studied the basic concepts of Judaism, the Religion of Islam, and learned the beliefs of Buddhism, Sikhism, and other less popular faiths. For those of you who have never read the Bible, cover to cover, it is divided into two parts: the Old Testament, and the New Testament. The Old Testament is composed of lege...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In January of 2017, an entire political party, which was once known as “the Grand Old Party,” abandoned its morals, its self-respect, its principles, and its dignity, and surrendered its free thought and free will to an old, obese, and mentally deficient failed businessman who had renently been illegitimately sworn in as their president. The Party of Lincoln had taken its last breath. MOST “REPUBLICANS” KNOW BETTER I have no doubt that the majority of the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” in Washington have at least average intelligence and are fully aware that Trump has become a dictator. They know that his policies are wrong for America, but with a shrinking voter base, they are desperate to receive the votes of his ignorant supporters. His failure to keep his promises, most notably ending inflation, ending the invasion of Ukraine, and keeping our nation out of another unwinnable war in the Middle East, are adding to the possibility of Democrats ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No one could write a movie this confusing. On every set is a person whose job is to ensure that the film contains continuity and makes sense from beginning to end. What’s left of Donald Trump’s little brain is a f**king mess. No one knows what he is doing, including Donald John Trump. The old, mentally disabled, obese man who is pretending to be your president revealed himself as the Antichrist years ago. When speaking to his cult, he exalts himself constantly. He easily brainwashes, his weak-minded followers who became convinced that Donald Trump is the Messiah: greater than Mohammad or Jesus Christ. TRUMP TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS THAT HE IS GREATER THAN JESUS CHRIST “‘Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.” Trump is a fake Christian. The pastor of the Church Trump claims to be his place of worship, revealed that Trump has never crossed its threshold. It is obvious that he never read the bible, and definitely not the New Testa...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has finally accomplished something, but not for the American people. In just over one year, Trump and his family have increased their personal wealth by about $1.4 billion. Trump continues to violate the Emoluments Clause with the use of his position as your illegitimate president. This number is near the amount he profited between 2017 and 2021 of $1.7 billion. Trump has been licensing his name in multiple foreign nations. This is a direct violation of the Emoluments Clause and punishable by impeachment for a record third time. The orange buffoon has finally learned something about pretending to be your president: how to commit more crimes he hoped no one would discover. 47 WAYS TRUMP HAS MADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MOST AMERICANS WORSE I won’t list them all: you can read them in the article I will refer at the end of my own. However, while Trump is stuffing his Gucci wallet with more illegal funds, most Americans are struggling more than ever before in ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Is it just me, or did Trump actually say, time and time again, “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons?” I don’t watch television “news” broadcasts. I refuse to be lied to. However, I do read. Trump appeared on Sean Hannity’s right-wing propaganda broadcast Thursday, and once again proved that the term “TACO” definitely applies to the orange buffoon. Trump talks all the time, but his words are always filled with lies and baseless allegations. Read the exchange between Trump and one of Fox’ paid liars. Hannity asked Trump about the 970 pounds of enriched uranium possessed by Iran, which is necessary to make nuclear weapons. [Trump first said that if the U.S. tried to seize the stockpile, it would take “a week and a half” to extract using a ground operation. That is likely an underestimate; nuclear experts say such an operation would take weeks, and that’s assuming it goes smoothly.] But what Trump said next was a surprise. “I don’t think it’s necessary [to get the uran...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In my nearly 80 years, I have learned that many of the sayings I heard from my grandparents, older relatives, and other individuals who were older than me are founded in fact, based on nothing more complicated than human nature. One of these is, “you can be judged by the friends and associates you choose.” As a man who had too many “careers” in his life, all involving working with the public, I have had many casual relationships. I referred to all of these people as “friends.” They were, to an extent. However, those I considered “true friends” cared about me as much as I cared about them. That number is small, as it should be. “TRUMP’S “FRIENDS” ARE THE SCUM AT THE BOTTOM OF A CESSPOOL Donald Trump has never had a true friend. He uses those he calls “friends” for personal advantage, and they use him to achieve their ambitions and increase their outrageous wealth. When he planned his trip to China, he invited a few of his oligarchs, his son, Eric, the worst Secre...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Is Trump mentally ill? That is a huge understatement. Everything he says, everything he does, makes no sense. He is wasting billions, and possibly trillions of dollars waging wars, destroying national treasures and rebuilding them into what appear to be massage parlors and brothels: places Trump is obviously more familiar with. TRUMP’S CONTROVERSIAL 2024 VICTORY WAS ACHIEVED WITH LIES AND MISDIRECTION Trump attempted to make the 2024 election all about the economy. We now know that this was another attempt to gaslight the American people. It is a fact that America’s voting public is the least informed in the world, and therefore his tactics were successful, if the election was fair. Evidence proves it was not. However, millions of gullible Americans believed Trump’s promises: to end the invasion of Ukraine on day one; to end inflation/Greedflation on day one; to prevent another war on foreign soil; and to reduce the national debt. How’s he doing? Stop laughing. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It may be dementia, senility, or simply the fact that at nearly 80 years of age, Trump is too old to be your president. However, just before he boarded AF-1 for his trip to “Jina,” Trump told the truth for the first time in his pitiful life. A reporter asked: “When you’re negotiating with Iran, Mr. President, to what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal?” Without hesitation, Trump replied, “Not even a little bit.” He continued: “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran — they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.” “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.” It’s always about Donald Trump and no one else. The malignant narcissist is alive and unwell in our White House. YEARS OF RESEARCHING TRUMP AND HE FINALLY TELLS THE TRUTH ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart                                                            When elections are fair, when both parties are playing by the same rules, Republicans lose elections. The two Republicans who became your president since 2000 had illegal assistance from outside sources. The 2000 election between Democrat Al Gore, and Republican George W. Bush will forever be known as the closest and most controversial presidential election in history. On election day, November 7, 2000, the outcome of the presidential election was “too close to call,” and remained that way until December 12 th . With a recount being conducted in Florida, the United States Supreme Court abused its powers and ordered ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart His ballroom; his war, his golf excursions, and his trips to the Lago. This and giving tax cuts to his oligarchs are bankrupting Amrica. What Trump has done since January 20 2025. What has he done for the people? Zilch. Trump is the most expensive illegitimate president in America’s history. Although he is asking for an even larger budget for next year, his personal expenditures will continue to exceed our nation’s income. How will he pay for his evil and wasteful plans? WHERE HAVE YOUR TAX DOLLARS GONE SINCE JANUARY OF 2025? I won’t step around the facts. Since January 20, 2025, he has spent millions of dollars on vengeance. Trump considers anyone who disagrees with him an enemy. Trump’s golf “excursions,” combined with his many trips to the Lago, cost taxpayers more than 10 million dollars each month. Trump destroyed the East Wing of the people’s White House. He wants to build a garish and unnecessary ballroom. He lied, promising that his oligarch’s would pay ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Without Netanyahu’s influence, Trump would never have had the cojones to wage his war against Iran. Getting Trump to participate in his efforts to exterminate all Muslims was a coupe for himself and his hatred of all members of the Religion of Islam. Netanyahu’s Islamophobia is the primary reason there has never been peace in the Middle East. For two decades Netanyahu has refused to negotiate a permanent peace with Israel’s Palestinian neighbors. GROWING IN AMERICA AND ESCALATING IN GREAT BRITAIN In the last 2 ½ years, England’s Jewish community has experienced an increase in hate crimes. The situation has escalated rapidly over the last few weeks. Anti-Israel sentiment has grown in the U. S. and around the world after Netanyahu ordered the murders of more than 60,000 Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza. Ice has chosen to challenge students in our universities and colleges as they exercised their First Amendment rights. VIOLENCE AND MURDER POSING AS PAR...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump loves to brag about passing three cognitive tests. He never mentions the reasons behind his doctor’s insistence that he submit to them. He suggested that all presidential candidates be required to take the same test. Let’s get serious. I believe that Trump and his administration have proven the necessity that all members of our Federal Government take an IQ test. If they fail to receive the average score of 100, they must be sent home and seek care from a mental healthcare professional. LIKE SHIT, STUPIDITY ROLLS DOWNHILL Of course, I begin with your illegitimate president. Although he has never been famous for possessing a great intellect, old age, combined with a lifetime mental disease known as malignant narcissism are there for all mankind to see. Every time he speaks it is increasingly evident that both his thought process and ability to pronounce common words have declined drastically. Trump is completely unfit to be your Dictator of the United State...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Have you ever noticed that when a Democratic President faces a problem, Republican politicians and their propaganda machine, Fox News, make a big deal out of the situation, although he or she may have no control over the problem? However, when the exact same or worse problem exists when a former member of the Republican Party experiences the same situation, he bares no responsibility and continues to be the greatest thing since 12-year-old Scotch? I give you one of Trump’s most vigorous sycophants, Senator John Kennedy, Rep. Louisiana. A REAL PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN, VS TRAITOR DONALD JOHN TRUMP Yes, I call Trump a traitor for only one reason. My wife and I watched all three hours of the violent insurrection from the time Trump stepped before the microphones and ordered his Nazi army to halt the certification of the Electoral College vote, until it was dispersed. I cannot be gaslighted: we saw with our own eyes the events of the darkest day in American history. Bet...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I knew when Trump announced a plan to build an unnecessary ballroom, and swore it would cost 200 million dollars, all paid for by his oligarchs, he was telling another huge lie. No one wanted his monstrosity. Although he promised that only a small part of the East Wing of the White House would be demolished, he told another lie. The People’s Home no longer has an East Wing. Trump is a guest of the people and has no right to make any changes to the White House, I believe a lawsuit should be filed against the orange buffoon, forcing him to return the White House to its original condition, and he must pay for it. THE BIGGEST LIE IS ABOUT THE COST Over the last few months,Trump changed the estimated cost of his garish edifice to himself from 200 to 300 and finally to 400 million dollars. Now, Lindsey Graham is leading a movement by right-wing extremists to force the American people to pay for Trump’s folly. By the way, the plans shown to the press cannot be complete...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A ruthless dictator, oligarchs with more money than God, and a federal government in name only, bowing to the demands of their Fuhrer. Which country did I just describe? The truth is, this situation is entirely applicable to Putin’s Russia and the former United States of America, ruled by Donald Trump. WHO IS REALLY CONTROLLING AMERICA’S FUTURE Our government is hiding a fact they have known for decades. Putin and Trump have maintained a very close relationship since 1987. When they have been photographed or videotaped together, Trump’s body language and facial expressions prove that he is subservient to the Russian President. After Trump failed to accomplish Putin’s ambitions between 2017 and 2021, and then suffered a huge defeat in the 2020 election, the two fascist men became more aggressive. Trump is closely following his fascist manifesto, Project 2025, as he remakes my country to mimic Putin’s Russia. We are no longer a nation of laws: the Constitution has...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Although you will never hear it on the mainstream media broadcasts, or from the mouths of cowardly politicians, it is no secret that Trump is a Hitler wannabe. It was reported that early in his marriage, Trump read Hitler’s speeches before going to sleep. It is also completely obvious that he idolizes Vladimir Putin. The amount and frequency of his praise for Russia’s president would be embarrassing for any normal man. Trump faces several problems. In the age of instant communication, there are no secrets. Trump’s spiraling approval ratings confirm the fact that he is the most hated man in the world. His second problem is that his military may be the largest and most expensive in the world, but it has failed to win a single war since the end of WWII. Most importantly, no one would disagree with me that both Hitler and Putin are the poster boys for evil, but their intellect was never questioned. FROM HIS SPEECHES, TEXTS, AND WHEN TAKING QUESTIONS FROM THE PRESS, ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most Americans ignore what the content of this story is all about. Terms like “the national deficit,” or “national debt” are a mystery to most Americans and therefore not an issue of great importance. The simplest way to explain this situation is to use household economics. If your household income is $5,000 each month, but your family’s expenses are $6,000 a month, you have a very serious problem. Our nation has a deficit of about 37 trillion dollars. That’s right, $37,000,000,000,000.00. Our great grandchildren will inherit this debt, and likely pass it on to their children. POLITICIANS ARE BLOWING SMOKE UP YOUR ASS WHEN THE CLAIM THAT AMERICA IS THE “RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD” If your monthly bills exceed your gross income, you are worse than poor. There is no feasible way to reverse the situation without removing all wasteful spending immediately, or find a way to increase your income. It’s the same with a country. For the first time since 1946, our natio...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 86-47. This should become the new mantra for all real Americans who dream about the removal of Trump and his Nazi Party from our federal government. Thousands of signs should be seen at every protest against Trump and his fascist agenda. The Trump administration is desperate to punish former FBI Director, James Comey for investigating Trump’s confirmed collusion with Vladimir Putin in the 2016 election. His ass kissers at the DOJ claim that Comey’s rocks in the sand with the numbers, 86-47 are a threat to kill Trump. Now for something the right-wing hates: facts. MANY USES OF THE TERM, “86 HIM” The use of the numbers 86 originated in the food industry. It was a shortcut to “cancel that order.” I worked in the Northern Nevada casinos for nearly 20 years. A trespassing law, created with the casinos in mind, defines Comey’s intent more accurately [Nevada’s Unlawful Trespass Upon Land law, codified in NRS 207.200, defines trespassing and sets out the penalties and w...
