    It is an undeniable fact that Trump and fellow sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein were close friends for a decade. There are videos of the two old, white perverts attending parties at Mar-a-Lago. Although the media hid the fact that Trump was accused by one 12-year-old girl after one of Epstein’s parties, this is the truth. As it has been for Trump throughout his pitiful life, he was placed above the law ant the situation was never fully investigated. Trump’s Attorney General, who is another member of the Washington Mafia and guilty of criminal activity, Pam Bondi, is preparing to release information about Epstein’s immoral activities, including a list of men who attended his underage sex orgies. The question is: “will Trump’s name be removed from that list?” At 78 I have become a skeptic, I trust no one in power or who possesses great wealth. A desire for great wealth, and/or power, removes an individual’s humanity. If you look up “corruption” in any ...

On January 20, 2017, Washington was changed forever. It’s composition for 241 years had been men and women who were patriots, loyal to the American people, and most were intent upon improving the lives of all Americans, while keeping them safe from our enemies, both foreign and domestic. However, since 1981 the former Grand Old Party began moving further to the right, and it was clearly divided between Moderates, the Tea Party, and a new fascist-leaning group calling themselves the Freedom Caucus. When Trump began his reign of terror, every man and woman calling themselves Republicans began to bow to the wannabe Fuhrer. Today’s Washington is filled with Fascists, Nazis, Incompetents, criminals, Traitors, and now Q’Anon Conspiracy Theorists. Here’s the latest from one of Trump’s woefully unqualified criminals pretending to be the Secretary of Defense. Pete, “the Drunk,” Hegseth and “Trump administration officials at the Pentagon invited antisemitic right-wing conspiracy theorist and ser...

The names Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth are interchangeable. Their history proves that they are depraved sexual predators, have addictive personalities with drugs and/or alcohol, and are confirmed but not convicted criminals. The one difference is that the furor over Gaetz based on several Congressional investigations forced him to remove himself from the nomination to become the Attorney General. Hegseth has no integrity or self-esteem and continues to fight for Senate confirmation as Secretary of Defense. I say, “what the hell! All of Trump’s nominees are woefully unqualified and have a dark past. Why not allow another another ‘Trump clone’ to defile the West Wing?” Let’s be totally honest about this serious situation. Members of a president’s cabinet and nominees for other critical institutions including the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Environmental Protection Agency, have extremely important jobs necessary to sustain the American way of life. To suggest that a no...

Would you choose to work in a city where no one trusts one another; where success is measured by power and wealth; where doing the right thing is forbidden; where morality, integrity, and principles are not allowed to exist inside the city’s boundaries? If you are one of the men and women who spend most of their time in Washington, this is your life. It began in 1981, and was fulfilled in 2017: the government of the United States is the most corrupt and incompetent within the world of developed nations. Trump is making serious efforts to make it even worse. Not a single nominee named by Trump is qualified for his or her position. They have no experience or training in the agencies they will lead. Of even greater interest, is that each of these individuals has been suspected, accused, or indicted for crimes big and small. Trump’s administration was rightfully called the “Washington Mafia” between 2017 and 2021, and this group will be thought of as the “Washington Mafia 2.0.” I have been...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Corruption and even Crimes of a serious nature are far from uncommon in our nation’s young government. In my lifetime alone, I can think of several names which have become infamous. I know you all will think first of Richard Nixon, but there were also three other high-level politicians who were forced to resign. As you might assume, none of them were fairly punished. WHO REMEMBERS SPIRO T. AGNEW? Mr. Nixon’s first Vice-President was the former Mayor of Maryland, Spiro T. Agnew. After a thorough investigation by the FBI, Agnew was forced to resign, less than a year prior to Nixon’s own resignation. He plead guilty to avoid charges of political corruption. He was fined $10,000, and sentenced to three years’ probation. The state of Maryland disbarred him. NEWT GINGRICH AND “THE PARTY OF FAMILY VALUES” For those of us who lived through those years, Newt Gingrich will be remembered for two reasons: he was a hypocrite and another Republican criminal wh...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You might remember when Trump pardoned some of our nation’s biggest traitors. Even more laughable, he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to one of the worst Americans in history, Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh divided our nation for decades and “freedom” was something he never believed in for anyone but pure whites. Don’t fear, followers of Trumpenstein, he’s getting the Washington Mafia back together again. MAKING AMERICA ASHAMED AGAIN Paul Manafort was convicted of bank and tax fraud. He was sentenced to seven and one-half years in prison. However, he was released after two when Trump’s coronavirus began to spread across America. To no one’s surprise, Trump is welcoming the convict back to his team of criminals and degenerates. “Birds of a feather.” “I ONLY HIRE THE BEST PEOPLE”  Trump lied again when he promised his supporters that his administration would be composed of “only the best people.” The men and women he chose were woefully unqualified and incompe...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump was in office for 1,460 days. He committed at least one crime during every sad day he pretended to be your president. We all know of his many Constitutional violations and his crimes against humanity, and we all know that he was impeached for cause twice but never received a fair trial in the Senate. Most of us knew about a situation confirmed and reported to the general public today, which would have demanded a third impeachment. The Emoluments Clause is clear: “The plain purpose of the foreign emoluments clause was to ensure that the country’s leaders would not be improperly influenced, even unconsciously, through gift giving, then a common and generally corrupt practice among European rulers and diplomats. An early version of the clause, modeled on a rule adopted by the Dutch Republic in 1651 that forbade its foreign ministers from receiving “any presents, directly or indirectly, in any manner or way whatever,” was incorporated into the Articles o...
