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 Trump is completely incompetent, and he doesn’t care. Simply look at the men and women he chose for his administration. ‘Unfit for office’ is a huge understatement. I have reported Trump’s life of failure for more than 10 years. Seldom have I ever understood what he was talking about as he ranted on and on at his numerous hate rallies. When I did find some comprehension, he was either whining about how badly he was mistreated, or attacking someone who disagreed with his fascist and Unconstitutional policies. Today his speech is incoherent and makes no sense. What’s left of his little mind is deteriorating rapidly. Is disgusts me when Trump is referred to as the President. He is not my president and never will be. Only a patriot who loves his or her country and all of its people is an American. Trump is nothing more than an opportunist. He uses people and his position for personal gain and his perverted pleasures. It is no secret that not a single member of Trump...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I am not an elitist. I never graduated from a college or university. I am nothing more, or less, than a 77-year-old man who has decades of experience and had the fortune to enjoy reading. I am what can be considered ‘self-educated.’ I try very hard not to be judgmental, but what I see happening in my beloved country and around the world in the 21 st century is unacceptable and frightening. Common sense seems to have been tossed aside and tyrants have become gods worshipped by the ignorant and uninformed. The United States is no longer the shining star, the epitome of what a democratic, free nation should be. It has morphed into a society more concerned with corporate profits than the quality of life for its people. Freedoms are in decline as fascist politicians seek control over our daily lives in the name of Christianity, and white power. Republicans believe they have the right to rule over us. They no longer believe that their purpose is to serve the ne...
