  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I live in Northern Nevada. In 2010, Republican Sharron Angle challenged Democrat Harry Reid for his seat in the Senate, a seat he first won in 1987. As the press stated, “Sharron Angle is Reid’s greatest asset.” Angle constantly made moronic statements to the press. Her ignorance made many politicos like me almost forget Dan Quayle. Trump is trying even harder. His lack of knowledge about what is happening in his own party reveals a level of stupidity seldom heard from a party’s major candidate. One of Kamala Harris’ proposals is to end price gouging by the companies providing food and other necessities to our grocery stores. Trump calls her plan “communist,” and claims these would be “Soviet style” controls. There’s a little problem about your statement, Donny boy. A number of Republican Attorneys General along with their Democratic counterparts, are planning measures similar to those of Ms. Harris. [In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Repu...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No other way to put it: the Trump presidency was a disaster. He knew nothing about anything relating to governing our nation, and therefore did nothing, even when we needed leadership the most in 2020. Trump is directly responsible for a percentage of the more than one-million lives lost related to Covid-19. He told us: “it will just go away.” Although Jimmy Carter is one of the greatest Americans in history, but he was unprepared to be our nation’s president. Bill Clinton was the exception. The fiscal policy of the former Governor of Arkansas saved us from the failed policies of Reagan and George H.W. Bush. When he left office in 2001, the national treasury experienced a surplus. Then there was Donald John Trump. TRUMP FIALED MISERABLY AT EVERYTHING Trump was unfit for office at any local, state, or federal level. The truth is that he was uneducated and to add that fact to his malignant narcissism, it is clear to see why he failed at every venture in his life. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   The “boob tube,” wireless phones, social media, a failing education system, parents demandi ng too little from their children: thes e are all reason s why America has fallen behind the rest of developed nations in education , and why we have morons like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Tommy Tuber ville, Matt Gaetz, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and others running our nation in Washington. This is why it is possible that the worst president in American history could return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and defile our nation’s White House as he plans to destroy democracy once and for all and shred nine out of ten Amendments in the Bill of Rights: (of course he will protect the most poorly written Amendment; the Second Amendment).   Newspapers and magazines are failing every day. Reading has become less important as the number of Americans believe they “learn everything they need to know on television .”   I Read, Maybe a Little Too Much, but I ...
