Want to read a fake headline? Here it is. “Republicans demand ‘crippling’ sanctions on Russia after brutal drone onslaught in Ukraine: ‘Take action.’” Please! It is no secret that every man and woman who calls themselves a “Republican” in 2025 is lying. They are loyal to Trump, and therefore loyal to Vladimir Putin. They may be able to con millions of uninformed Americans, but not this wise old fart. On Friday, Trump engaged in a phone conversation with his puppeteer for more than two hours. Now Trump is trying to tell the American people that they “disagreed” about how to end the invasion of Ukraine. Bullshit. Putin was obviously informing Trump about actions he could take to make it appear that Putin was capitulating to Trump’s demands. It’s called a “smokescreen.” Trump has been Putin’s most valued asset since 1987. If you doubt me, look it up. In 2018, congress voted to place sanctions against Russia and Vladimir Putin for interference in our 2016 election: Trump vetoed them. Recen...

A few facts: American forces did not engage in wars in Afghanistan, and Iraq. We invaded both sovereign nations. Russia invaded Ukraine three years ago: Zelenskyy did not ‘start a war.’ However, Trump lied again, claiming that the military action in Ukraine is all President Zelenskyy’s fault. He is using this as an excuse for not including him at the meetings in Saudi Arabia, labeled as an effort to end the violence and suffering. Trump’s actions can be called “destructive and immoral.” However, this meeting will be the biggest and most destructive event in history. Ukraine will be without representation. The facts will be ignored, and the biggest bully in the world, and America’s greatest enemy, will be forgiven for his ultimate crime. When will someone from the once-respected fourth estate tell the truth? Trump has been Putin’s “boy toy” since 1987. He could not have won either election without assistance from his mentor and handler. Russia has the best ‘hackers’ in the world. I will...

Trump, the Destroyer, and Musk, the Idiot, will meet with Vladimir Putin, and Ukraine President Zelensky to discuss ending the war. The meeting will be held in Saudi Arabi. The Saudi Royal Family owns Trump, and the orange buffoon has been Putin’s Puppet since 1987. Who do you think will lose in this situation? Trump continues to praise Putin. When sanctions were approved by congress in 2017, after our government admitted what I already knew, that Putin had assisted Trump in his Electoral College win in the 2016 election, Trump vetoes any actions against his handler. A meeting has been arranged in Saudi Arabia to find a way to end the invasion of Ukraine. Our nation’s greatest enemies will be in attendance: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman. Ukraine President Zelensky has also been invited. Unfortunately, Mr. Zelenski is outnumbered, and the decisions will most definitely not be acceptable to him or his people. Trump and Putin are bullies. Bin Salm...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump continues to make excuses for his refusal to meet with Kamala Harris for a second debate. After having his a** kicked in the first debate, I can’t blame him. The old, obese man left the venue totally humiliated. A younger, more vibrant, more prepared woman had crushed him for 90 minutes. Trump originally stated that ‘there should be three debates.’ Last week, Trump said he ‘would probably meet’ with Ukraine Leader Zelenskyy today or tomorrow. Today he said it would not happen, making additional excuses for another instance when he contradicted himself. YOU AND I KNOW WHY HE COULD NOT MEET WITH ZELENSKYY. Trump has openly supported Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. He refers to his mentor as a “genius.” It was ludicrous to believe that Trump would meet with the leader of Putin’s opposition army. He would literally be “biting the hand which feeds him.” The orange buffoon continues to order his minions in the House, calling themselves, “the Freedom Caucus...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFa rt   I f one fact w ould keep you from thinking about giving your precious vote to Trump, this would be it.   No nation, including ours, can survive alone in today's dangerous world. Our closest allies in Europe have expressed their fear s of another Trump Presidency.   Over a short period of time, 2017-2021, Trump separated America from nations who fought in WW II, and those who once fought against us. Th ese close ties required years of work to gain trust and respect. Much of this was intentionally destroyed by Trump and his party. President Biden has restored these relationships, but Trump would destroy them again. Trump and Putin share the same goal: destroy NATO, the alliance which has prevented WWIII.   [ Europe’s fears are that a second T rump term would drastically reduce transatlantic security ties, increase tariffs and sever critical US support for Ukraine.]   THE TRUTH LIVES HERE, AND I KEEP THAT PROMISE   They have...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Simply seeing a picture of Marjorie Taylor Greene forces a single reaction from everyone: insanity. I am worried about the ignorant people of Georgia who voted for her. Insanity: “the state of being seriously mentally ill; madness.” This woman lives in an alternate universe. She is definitely not an American: maybe she’s an alien from the planet, “Nutbag.” Regardless, she has become the “mouth” of the Freedom Caucus, offering an endless number of baseless conspiracy theories, most of which are obviously created in her own demented mind. SADLY, MTG IS NOT ALONE I would be remiss if I refused to admit that MTG is only one of 41 fascists in the House whose primary ambition is to destroy our government. It is a little funny that the Freedom Caucus was created because the TEA Party was not as radical as many of today’s fake Republicans had hoped. Jim Jordan’s traitorous constituents are so extreme, so far to the right, they can only be called fascists. They have take...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   The vote was 311-112 . The House of Representatives voted to approve additional military aid for Ukraine. Why is this shocking? Trump and his fascist supporters in the House calling themselves the “Freedom Caucus” opposed the bill’s passage. They went so far as to threaten the removal of Mike Johnson , one of their own, as the Speake r if it passed.   The Republican Party controls 2 18 seats out of 435, and 41 of those right-wing politicians are members of the Freedom Caucus. This is a significant defeat fo r Trump and his anti-American minions.   Are a Growing Number of Right-Wing Politicians Revealing Their Disgust for Trump?   I’m not sure if this means anything. Members of the House are up for election every two years, and this is priority number one for all professional politicians.   However, this vote definitely reveals a lack of cohesion on the right side of the aisle. There is a widespread belief that Democrats will...
