Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What happened in Alaska was a farce and an embarrassment for all loyal Americans. It began with the military of the United States rolling out a red carpet for our country’s greatest enemy. Next came the illegitimate president/dictator of America displaying his fealty and devotion to the only man in the world who is worse than himself. The event was labeled as an effort to end the invasion of Ukraine. This in itself was another lie: a diversion. After three and one-half hours, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump stood before the television cameras and told the world that they accomplished nothing. However, that was not the truth. Putin told Trump what he wanted, no, demanded, and the rest of their private meeting was focused on completing their plans for the destruction of the American way of life. On Monday, Trump will meet with Ukraine President Zelenskyy in the White House. This meeting is also mislabeled. It will not be a meeting to discuss a negotiation between ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Well, the farce in Alaska went about as I expected. This is what I saw and read. Trump ordered our fascist military to lay down a red carpet for their real boos, Putin, on the tarmac. The two old dictators, close friends for 38 years, warmly greeted each other. The only thing missing was a kiss on the lips. And after three and one-half hours of private conversation, it was over. The bottom line is, nothing happened. Only time and taxpayer money were wasted. I suppose some people had expectations. Those people are in denial. They don’t want to believe what the relationship between Trump and Putin is really about. Trump does nothing without the approval of his handler. He owes the Russian president everything. His business “empire” nearly crashed at least twice until Putin and his oligarchs rescued him. Putin’s intervention in the 2016 and 2024 elections gave him two illegitimate victories. The recent rigged election benefited both old, white men. Trump will not b...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Either Trump’s dementia is more serious than I thought, or he has plans to return Alaska to Russia in exchange for peace in Ukraine. Trump said on Monday that he is “going to Russia on Friday.” He and Putin have agreed to meet in Alaska. The agenda is uncertain. Trump continues to change his plan and then have no plan at all. Russia sold the Alaskan territory to the United States in 1867 for 7.2 million dollars. That would be about 16 billion dollars today. Peace in Ukraine is priceless. Does anyone expect any positive results from this meeting? I have no doubt that the two dictators will be laughing at the idiots who believe that they are anything less than co-conspirators. Trump has expressed his devotion and admiration for Putin nearly 100 times since 2015. What this trip actually involves is taxpayers paying for cost of Trump and his handler meeting in person. The bromance continues. Nothing about Trump is real: not his hair, his skin color, or the words com...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a puppet, and has been since 1987. Vladimir Putin has been pulling Trump’s strings for the last 38 years. When the orange buffoon announced that he and Putin would be meeting to discuss peace in Ukraine this Friday in Alaska, I simply said, “really?” Putin and Trump have already discussed what is required for the end of what was an invasion by the Russian army, multiple times. What will happen is a very badly written play. Trump remains deeply indebted to Putin. The European Union, and every other member of NATO is deeply concerned, as they should be. President Zelenskyy is right: Ukraine must refuse any settlement which allows a “land grab” by the Russian dictator. However, now that the American people accepted a fascist dictator as their leader, democracy for all the world’s people is no longer a concern. The White House is beginning to downplay Friday’s meeting. The cover-up has begun. If you believe any of this has any basis in fact or reality, you ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump and Putin are planning to meet again, this time in Alaska. The fate of Ukraine will be decided but President Zelenskyy will not be invited. The reason is very clear. As he has since 1987, Trump will do whatever Putin tells him to do. He still pulls the fat man’s strings. We know one thing, the two fascists will “agree” to the surrender of the entire Donetsk region to Putin. I’m sure that this is just the beginning. One thing Putin will never possess. He claimed that his invasion would be over in a few weeks. Putin underestimated the capabilities of the leaders of Ukraine’s army, who were far more skilled than those of the second most powerful nation in the world. Since February of 2022, the number of Russian soldiers injured are estimated between 790,000 and 1,000,000. The death toll is estimated at more than 250,000. About 13,000 Russian tanks were disabled, and about 12,000 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed. !6,000 artillery systems were destroye...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump lied. But, that’s no surprise. If his piehole is open, he is lying. In 2016 he claimed that he had never met Vladimir Putin. The truth is that he has known the current Russian President since 1987. At the invitation of the KGB, a spy agency in which Putin held a high rank, Trump and first wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow. The events which occurred over those few days were not recorded. However, there can be no doubt that Putin and Trump engaged in conversation at least once. Trump’s second recorded visit to Moscow was in 2013. He traveled to the Russian capital under the guise of conducting the Miss Universe Pageant. However, a dossier compiled by former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, and never disproven, claims that it was during this visit that the two men confirmed their plans for the 2016 election. One unreported fact. In August of 2016, billionaire Robert Mercer, a longtime friend of Putin and his oligarchs, moved his money, Steve Bannon, and Kellyann...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If the committee deciding who will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for Peace is considering Trump for the award, it will lessen the value and prestige of the award for every past recipient. Trump promised his “people” that he would end the invasion of Ukraine on day one: the carnage continues. Trump planned, organized, and executed the attempted coup on January 6, 2021. I watched all three hours of the violent and disgusting insurrection. I saw a bloodthirsty group of Neo-Nazis search for Vice-President Pence and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, with the intent of murdering them, under orders from Trump. Giving the worst man in the world such a prestigious award would make the entire process a sham, meaningless, and of no value. Finally, Trump is Putin’s most valuable asset. To even consider the possibility that he is serious about negotiating peace in Ukraine is ludicrous. Op-ed by James Turnage Follow my blog and be informed Source: https://www.dailykos.co...

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...
