  Domestic Terrorism. You don’t hear these two words on television news, and they are seldom included in stories offered by the mainstream media. However, a few years ago, FBI Director, Christopher Wray proclaimed domestic terrorism as “the greatest danger to the American people.” The most obvious acts which confirm the danger of domestic terrorism are the number of mass shootings in our gun-crazed country. Since 2017, there have been more mass shootings than days on the calendar. There have been other acts intended to kill innocent Americans, and last night, New Years Eve, in New Orleans, just outside the French Quarter, a deranged, obviously enraged man drove his truck into a large number of men and women celebrating the New Year. He killed 10 immediately and injured 35 more. When his truck was stopped by law enforcement, he stepped out of the vehicle and shot two police officers before he was killed by gunfire from the other officers present at the scene. This would never have b...

One of Trump’s many moronic plans, among Tariffs which will increase prices for consumers, and a national sales tax which will add to the grief of the working class, is a travel ban from several nations into the United States. More than any other industry, this will negatively affect the Tech industry. Microsoft and Google employ students from several nations under the H-1B visa program. It has become difficult to find qualified men and women in our universities who are capable of filling their needs. Much of this problem is the exorbitant cost of higher education in America. Each year American businesses lose some of our greatest minds simply because they cannot afford the cost of higher education. America’s co-president, Elon Musk, has offered his support for the H-1B visa program. However, right-wing extremists with fascist ambitions are demanding an end to the policy. Administrators and faculty from multiple colleges and universities have advised their foreign students to return to...

i If you’ve listened to one Trump speech, you’ve heard them all. Regardless of how they begin, they will always include fear, anger, hatred, and a suggestion of violence in his name. Unable to accept the slightest criticism, Trump is a vengeful man who is incapable of compassion for his fellow man. He has a mental defect known as “malignant narcissism,” and this prevents him from possessing normal human attributes. After Trump was gifted the presidency by the Electoral College in 2016, with the assistance of Vladimir Putin, James Comey, and the mainstream media, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported an 800 percent increase in hate crime. Between 2017 and 2021, every time Trump opened his pie hole, he offered his supporters the beliefs of men and women involved in the Neo-Nazi movement across America. Unless you were visiting another planet between 2015 and today, you are aware that his idols are Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin. Read this definition, and tell me you can find one part...

  One of the most American results of the 2024 election was the victory of Sarah McBride. The people of Delaware made history when they chose the first transgender woman to support them in the House of Representatives.S However, right-wing extremist and homophobe, Nancy Mace, from South Carolina, has introduced a bill which would prevent Ms. McBride from using the women’s restrooms in the Capitol Building. Once again, Trump’s “people” prove that my America no longer exists. Our nation has never been a great nation and likely never will be. How easily we forget the Declaration of Independence when it satisfies our personal and twisted beliefs. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.--That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the govern...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No surprise, it happened in the strange state of Texas. I sometimes think we should have supported their wish to secede from the Union. In southeast San Antonio, a 63-year-old-man by the name of Jesse Lutzenberger arrived at his polling place to select his choices for the 2024 election. He was wearing one of Trump’s red MAGA caps. He was asked to remove the hat. Texas’ laws forbid wearing any item which promotes one candidate over another in the voting area. He initially complied. However, when he finished voting, he placed his hat on his head as he was walking out of the voting area. A 69-year-old volunteer immediately began to escort him out of the building when Lutzenberger started punching him in the face and chest. The volunteer was treated by EMT’s and sent home. Lutzenberger was arrested at his home and was charged with several crimes. He is in jail with a $30,000 bail required for his release. This is all Trump’s fault. Recently the orange traitor was he...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like the schoolyard bully he is, Trump calls all of his adversaries a variety of meaningless names. He does this because he cannot discuss the issues he knows nothing and cares nothing about. He also engages in these immature actions because he is hiding his true and pitiful inability to use his shrinking brain. He is an old, obese, senile white man. Desperation has made a fool out of many men, and Trump is now numbered among them. Trump explained why he continues his sad efforts to demean his much younger, far more intelligent, and accomplished adversary. "I think I am entitled to personal attacks. I do not have a lot of respect for her. I don't have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and I think she'll be a terrible president. And I think it is very important that we win. And whether the personal attacks are good, bad – I mean, she certainly attacks me personally. She actually called me weird. 'He's weird,'" he said. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I could never do it. I might think about it, but I find physical violence an act of ignorance, and a lack of ability to solve problems through deliberation and compromise. However, my disdain for Trump allows my thought process to drift into the darkest recesses of my mind and wish that Trump would go away and free our nation from a man who is pure evil: the most-hated man in the world. Yesterday, July 13, 2024, a lone gunman apparently attempted to kill Donald Trump. The orange buffoon is partially to blame. Throughout his many rallies, Trump constantly preaches anger, hatred, revenge, and violence. Much of the harm resulting from Trump’s illegitimate presidency is irreversible. It is logical to assume that those who love our country would consider responding to Trump’s fascist agenda. HOW MY MORNINGS BEGIN I cannot completely explain how I feel about Donald Trump, also known as “Big Adolf.” Consider this: what if you were an original baby boomer, born in 1946,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump is clearly a fascist. This is an undeniable fact based on his own words and actions. You may still ask why our military and law enforcement support him. The answer is simple: both organizations are in fact fascist. They are controlled by dictators, and their operations depend on totalitarianism and extreme nationalism.   If Trump is reelected in November, he will immediately declare martial law, and place himself in power as a dictator, more accurately a Fuhrer.     He said it and his American Fascist Party supports it.   THINK ABOUT THE FACTS   When members of congress asked for assistance from our military during the January 6, 2021 , attempted coup, they declined.   Several members involved in the violent insurrection were current or former members of our military or law enforcement agencies.   Who can the people, who are America, turn to in our time of need?   The answer , no one. Now that the Supre...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you haven’t noticed; I have. If you ask any man or woman who calls themselves a “Republican” a direct question, you will never get a direct answer. They will always redirect the question and offer their own opinion, their own agenda, literally refusing to answer a question they don’t want to answer. Some people might say, “they’re talking out of their asses.” But not me! If you know this current American Fascist Party as I do, you know that they live in an alternate world, and are playing a different game of political chess or maybe more accurately, political checkers. They exist on lies and misdirection. Their greatest enemy is the truth. RIGHT WING MEDIA HAS BRAINWASHED MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO CHOOSE TO BE IGNORANT There is only one qualification for employment at FOX News or to run for office under the banner of the Republican Party: you must be willing to constantly lie in support of right-wing extremist policies and your Fuhrer. They claim to worship T...

h Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike Trump’s personal Gestapo, Neo-Nazi organizations, the LGBTQ community is no threat to anyone, anywhere. They simply seek the same rights guaranteed to heterosexuals by the Constitution. So, let me ask you a question: “why should our government feel it necessary to issue a warning to the LGBTQ community who will be celebrating Pride Month in June?” Where is the time machine used to move America and parts of the world backwards into the 1950’s? Authorities warned US citizens abroad to "exercise increased caution". Violence against the LGBTQ community across our nation is also expected. "Stay alert in locations frequented by tourists, including Pride celebrations," a warning issued by the state department said. IN JUST FOUR YEARS, TRUMP AND HIS AMERICAN FASCIST PARTY RECREATED AMERICA INTO A COUNTRY DOMINATED BY ANGER, HATRED, AND BIGOTRY Prior to 2017, the worst of America remained in the shadows, or in the slime at the bottom of cessp...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I will be the object of serious, angry assaults from thousands of people after I complete this article. However, I will cherish the. I have the ability to think clearly and independently, and then form an opinion. Then I am able to do the right thing, at least the right thing for me. Over the last 40+ years I witnessed the once private issue of religion become a political issue in America. Although the First Amendment specifically prevents the establishment of one religion as the true faith of the United States, one party has aligned themselves with the Christian Religious Right in direct violation of the first sentence of the First Amendment. I Am Offering my Opinions Based on Years of Personal Experience and What has Happened Around the World for my 77 Years Some of the most dangerous individuals to world peace and personal independence are Priests, Ministers, Pastors, Rabbis, Imams, and all other religious leaders. These men and women often place their person...
