Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “He took my toy.” “Mom, he’s making faces at me.” “He won’t share with me.” These are all things a bratty, spoiled little child might say, and this is how Trump and his people are running our country. They have all learned to whine about everything which doesn’t go their way. When they do something wrong, which often happens, they blame someone else for their failures. I refused to accept this type of behavior from my children, and I sure as hell will not accept it from any elected official in control of my future. A perfect example of how immature and unfit Trump’s administration has become happened yesterday. I swear on my walker, this is 100% true. [Attorney General Pam Bondi fired a Justice Department employee on Friday accused of flipping off National Guard members deployed to Washington D.C. as part of President Donald Trump's effort to mitigate crime in the city, a Justice Department official confirmed.] This is additional proof of how fragile the mal...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have literally written thousands of articles about Trump. I know as much as anyone about the worst, illegitimate president in history. However, he is not intelligent, he began losing support during the 2024 campaign, he is far from charismatic, and most people find him unlikable. Trump is a convicted felon who I watched commit treason. The FBI searched Mar-a-Lago and found dozens of documents which would have convicted him of violating the Espionage Act if the corrupt Supreme Court had not granted him absolute immunity, placing him above the law. Our Founding Fathers must be shedding tears in heaven. What possible reason would anyone have for giving their precious vote to the least qualified man in history? I have questions about issues which make no sense, offer no reason why anyone would continue to support the worst man in the world. First question. What sense does it make to defund our nation’s intelligence agencies, and continue to give hundreds of billio...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Throughout his pitiful life, Trump suffers from a mental disease called Malignant Narcissism. Malignant Narcissism: “a severe personality construct characterized by a combination of narcissistic traits, antisocial behavior, paranoid tendencies, and a tendency toward sadism. It's not a formally recognized diagnosis in the DSM-5 but is used to describe a particularly destructive form of narcissism. Individuals with malignant narcissism exhibit a deep-seated sense of superiority, entitlement, and a lack of empathy, often leading to manipulative and exploitative behavior towards others.” To offer a simpler definition, Trump’s concerns are exclusively focused on himself and his need to satisfy an inflated ego. Consider these comments obtained from Trump during his many, lengthy, and boring speeches at his hate rallies. “I have never done anything wrong.” “I love spending other people’s money.” When asked about his relationship with Putin in 2016: “I never met the...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A leader at any level, a business owner, a captain on an athletic team, a minister in your local church, and a president, prime minister, or chancellor must see the big picture. They must be able to look into the future and ensure that his business, his team, his congregation, or his country will move forward as one for the betterment of all those who trust him to make wise decisions. A leader cannot place himself first and continuously waste his time with petty issues and never with a focus on revenge against individuals or anyone who simply disagrees with his ideas and policies. This is the sign of a mentally deficient man who is not capable of leadership at any level. Trump 2.0 is all about him. His focus is on revenge against anyone he believes is an enemy within his small and limited brain. His long-standing feud with Rosie O’Donnell continues. He is threatening to repeal her citizenship: something he cannot do. His attacks on Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden ...

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...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump promised to end the “war” in Ukraine on “Day One.” Six months and nine days later the invasion continues. During his golf excursion to Scotland a reporter asked him about his frequent trips to golf courses in America. His response was such a big lie, it made me laugh out loud. "We put out fires all over the world. We did one yesterday, as you know, we stopped a war, but we stopped about five wars,” Trump said, while standing on a golf green, Tuesday. “So that's ah, much more important than playing golf. As much as I like it, it's much more important." Although his official schedule has not been posted, on the rare occasion Trump was in the White House between 2017 and 2021 his “office hours” were between 11 in the morning and two or three in the afternoon. When he was in the Oval Office, he wasn’t. He was in an adjoining room watching television. The undeniable truth is Donald Trump has never worked a full day in his pitiful 79 years on t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I was just a boy, the men in my life would read the newspaper every day. I often heard them say, “I don’t know why I read this shit, there’s nothing but bad news.” As I grew older, I began to read more than the “funny papers.” I read the sports page daily. By the time I was in high school we were required to read the front page. Then it was me who complained that there was nothing but ‘bad news.’ Today, July 24, 2025, it is not ‘bad news,’ everything I read is pure evil. Defiling our White House is one, obese, very old, man who is mentally ill. The entire focus of Trump’s illegitimate presidency is devoted to harming others. It pleases him to know that his actions are causing great pain and suffering for men, women, and children whose only crimes are attempting improve their quality of life. Malignant Narcissism: “Malignant narcissism is a severe personality disorder characterized by a combination of narcissistic personality disorder traits, antisocial beha...

I am not unaware that Putin is pulling Trump’s strings. However, in typical Trump ‘style,’ his ego surpasses his little brain’s abilities, and he lashes out, making moronic decisions without information or careful thought. His latest ridiculous decision in retaliation to the European Union’s response to his tariffs would place a 200 percent tariff on alcohol products exported to the United States. It is fair to say that Trump is declaring war on nation’s who were our closest allies for a hundred years. Once again, Trump proves that he is unfit to be our president, and once again he confirms the fact that he is not an American. He is destroying our nation piece by piece as Putin is laughing in his Russian castle. If you have been a loyal supporter for 10 years, and fail to realize that he doesn’t give a damn about you, there’s something drastically wrong with your inability to think clearly. Co-presidents, Trump and Musk, are ruining lives and creating pain for people around the world. ...

Elon Musk has been called Trump’s “co-president,” and even THE president. His “made-up” position is illegal, immoral, and a danger to our nation’s future. He, like Trump, is a tool of Vladimir Putin, put in positions which would disrupt our government, further divide our nation, and alienate our closet allies. Congress has the power to eliminate Musk from the picture and cease Trump’s unconstitutional firing of necessary government employees. They are cowards and corrupt. However, the people are taking action against Musk’s fascist actions. Billionaires/oligarchs care about one thing and one thing only: their bloated offshore bank accounts. [In February, Tesla shares plummeted 28%, signaling their worst month since a 37% drop in December 2022. The stock fell by an additional 3% on Monday alone.] Trump’s tariffs could harm Musk’s businesses even more as necessary materials to manufacture his products become more difficult to procure, and more costly. Musk is not doing any of this for hi...

On Tuesday evening your illegitimate president will offer his “State of the Disunited Union.” I will not be watching, and I encourage you to ignore this farce as well. It is he who intentionally divided our nation over the last 10 years. I refuse to be lied to, and because Trump has never told the truth once in his pitiful 78 years, I will not be wasting my time. In fact, I hate liars more than anything in the world and this is the reason I have refused to watch any television news broadcast since November 9, 2016. Half truths and lies of omission are more dangerous than blatant falsehoods. Every newscast in America supported Trump five-times more than all other candidates combined during the 2016 campaign. When he and his staff were asked direct questions, television’s fake journalists allowed them to answer questions they chose to make campaign speeches and ignore the interviewer. Trump’s entire life is filled with “alternative facts.” He creates his own “reality” and tells the same ...

  Reports about ignorant Republican voters turning on their Fuhrer offer me a glimmer of hope for our nation’s future. They prove one fact I have been writing about for the last ten years. Wealth and intelligence are not synonymous, and Trump is as dumb as a bag of rocks. “Republican” politicians are about to relieve themselves in their pants. As the level of anger directed at Trump increases, their fears of not winning reelection in 2026 are also on the rise. Remember, all 435 seats in the House are up for reelection every two years. Republican members of the House have been obstructionists for the last 10 years, and the people are beginning to notice. The last two congressional sessions have been the least productive in modern history. The reason is clear and irrefutable: Republicans have been spending all of their time attempting to protect their Criminal-in-Chief. Their problems began immediately when Trump failed to keep his biggest campaign promise. Not only did he not end in...

The First Amendment was the only Amendment in the Bill of Rights without dissention. Our Founding Fathers considered it the most important part of the Constitution. Your most important right is the right to vote. Trump is acting as I predicted, seeking the end of free and fair elections. I begin with an allegation. I am claiming here and now that the 2024 election was rigged. Voting machines can be hacked, and after weeks of investigation into the possibilities and comparing the extremely contentious results of the 2020 and 2024 elections, I believe that the 2024 and 2016 elections were rigged by Vladimir Putin. I am also 100 percent convinced that the alleged assassination attempt in Pennsylvania was staged. That said, here is what Trump told a gathering of red state’s governors at the White House yesterday. Trump will demand “in-person” voting only. This would prevent my right to vote, and the rights of millions of other Americans. I am physically disabled and incapable of waiting in...

Trump is the “Antichrist,” the “Great Pretender.” However, he would not have risen from the depths of hell if one man had the courage to support the Constitution. I cannot predict how history will remember Moscow Mitch McConnell. If it is a truthful accounting, his 40 years in the Senate will be revealed as four decades of support for himself and his party. There is not a single record of accomplishing anything of a positive nature in his life. He has never served the majority of our nation’s people: he ruled over us since 1985. The Great Destructor, the Antichrist, continues to destroy every positive action by his predecessor, a true American and a lifetime patriot, President Joe Biden. However, none of this would be happening if Moscow Mitch had chosen to obey the Constitution. Trump was impeached for cause twice; in 2019 and 2021. The first impeachment came after Trump violated the Constitution as he attempted to bribe the President of Ukraine. The second was for “obstruction of jus...

The world’s population is estimated at 8.2 billion people. These people live in 195 countries led by 195 leaders, and 195 governments. The United States population in 2024 is 346,189,562 as of November 29, 2024. Our country will be led by the least qualified man in the world who has no idea how to lead more than 346 million people, and simply doesn’t care. Our government has proven itself to be the most incompetent and corrupt in the world. And yet, those who spend their days pretending to govern America in Washington may very well change everything about the future of 8.2 billion people after January 20, 2025. It is inevitable that 2025 will not be a good year for the average human being. The rich and powerful will have complete control over our future when the fascist Trump administration takes complete control over the most powerful nation in the world. Inside the private meeting rooms of the United Nations there is an atmosphere of mistrust, confusion, uncertainty, and even fear. U...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Truth Lives Here If Trump and Putin rig another election, America will lose and our nation’s future is in serious jeopardy. However, if the election is just and fair, and most voters realize that Trump’s tactics filled with lies, his horrific record between 2017 and 2021, and his billionaire supporter loses his bid to buy votes, our country will have its first woman president, and America will move proudly forward into the 21 st century. Kamala Harris in 2024. Op-ed by James Turnage

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I must share an article with you I read by Richardesic for the Daily Kos. He simplifies what I believe is not only Trump’s manner of governing, but how he has lived for 78 years. [1) Take a dump on the carpet 2) Complain loudly that there is a turd on the carpet 3) Blame the turd on everyone but him 4) Demand someone else clean up the turd 5) Smear the turd around 6) Say he cleaned up the turd better than anyone else could have 7) Declare victory] Knowing that Trump has never accomplished anything of value in his entire life helps any informed American to understand this very simple and very accurate description of “the real Donald Trump.” There has never been a less qualified candidate in history than the old, orange man: Donald John Trump.

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Everything Trump and his extremist party accuse Democrats of in their television ads are vicious lies, He and his party have committed many of those alleged crimes against America for the last nine years. Their only hope for winning elections is based on the fact that ignorant, uninformed voters, will believe everything they see and hear on the “boob tube.” Do not be misled. Today’s “Republican Party” has morphed into the American Nazi Party. Their fascist policies and plans for our future are not founded in the democratic principles of the Constitution. They seek complete control over the lives of all Americans for personal benefit. Project 2025, formed by Trump and composed by his minions, is a plan to end the dreams of our Founding Fathers. Right-wing politicians, unable to find a single qualified candidate, nominated the least qualified man in the nation for a third presidential campaign. “Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First a fact which confirms how corrupt the government of the United States has become. For decades those who are intended to serve all Americans in Washington hid corruption including grievous felonies from the voting public. Most recently our failed politicians hid the fact that Russia was interfering in the 2016 election in support of Donald Trump although they knew the truth prior to election day. The results of Robert Meuller’s investigation into collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign team required years to complete. When it was “released” to the public, Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr retracted it so heavily it was unreadable. His intention was to hide the truth. Today, October 2, 2024, the American people were allowed to know condemning facts about Trump’s failed coup attempt on January 6, 2021. If you watched the darkest day in America’s history on television as I and my wife chose to do, you have no illusions about what we saw with our...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am proud to be a Liberal, Progressive, or whatever fake conservatives want to label me. I believe in moving America forward, not backwards as Trump did between 2017 and 2021. With Kamala Harris leading our nation, our country can return to a path which will lead us to greatness. If Kamala Harris’ agenda is to succeed, we must give her a House and Senate controlled by Democrats. Let’s be totally honest: if any Republican supports Trump, he or she supports Project 2025. They do not support the needs and wishes of the majority of Americans. TRUMP’S DO-NOTHING CONGRESS The Freedom Caucus is an extremist group withing the House of Representatives whose loyalty is to Trump, not the American people. They are the core of Moscow Mitch McConnell’s “party of no,” created in January of 2009. Since the beginning of the 118 th Congress, in January of 2023, a total of 82 bills have been passed by the legislative branch. The average is between 200-600 per year. Trump’s “peop...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I begin by offering you an important fact. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump failed to make a single decision which affected the American people and the future of our nation. He was told what to do on every occasion. However, if he disagreed with the advice he received, he made up his own solution s , including drinking bleach or shining a bright light up your rectum to kill Covid-19. He had nothing to do with selecting three unqualified Supreme Court justices. He was told who to nominate by the Federalist Society and Moscow Mitch McConnell.   This is important because if he is reelected, Project 2025 will become his entire agenda for the next four years. Every suggestion establishing an autocratic society in the 922 - p age document came from one of his speeches or a toilet tweet.   The mainstream media pointed to speeches and actions by President Biden which appeared to confirm his difficulty with the effects of aging. However, they are not doi...
