  This title is the title of a 1995 movie starring Michael Douglas and Annette Benning. I watched it again on New Years Day. I don’t know how many times I have enjoyed this film, but I can tell you that it is my second favorite movie of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is simple: I would like to see a president like the fictional Andrew Shepherd in my lifetime. The only man close to the character was John F. Kennedy. However, I was a senior in high school when he was murdered, and never had a chance to vote for him. I was 22 in 1968 and planned to vote for Bobby Kennedy before he too was taken from us far too soon. I have experienced 13 presidents in my lifetime. The first was Dwight Eisenhower in 1956 when I was ten years old. I turned on our black and white television one afternoon, and Eisenhower’s second convention was on all three stations. I was hooked, not yet realizing that I would become an obsessed politico. In between Eisenhower and President Biden, only on...

  The title of this article is an old adage or saying, and it’s true in most of the shops in which people search for items they wish to purchase. However, this refers to MAGA Republicans who continue to choose ignorance over facts and reality. They voted for Trump, and now they will be the first to suffer from their mistakes. Trump was the worst president in history between 2017 and 2021, according to presidential historians. Do they believe that he will be better in 2025? No one can be that stupid, unless you are an uninformed American voter who “learns everything they need to know from television.” Regardless of how uninformed most voters are in America, anyone who spends even a small amount of time reading about politics must be aware of some of the many reasons Trump should not be president or hold any office in government at any level. If the electorate refused to choose ignorance over fact, Trump would never have received more than 10 percent of the vote. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Facts prove that the accomplishments of President Biden make him the best president since Bill Clinton. He also accomplished more than Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush for all Americans. Trump accomplished nothing for all 300+ Americans in four years. Presidential historians have labeled him the worst president in history. Who are you voting for? I support Kamala Harris in 2024. Op-ed by James Turnage Find my novels on Amazon    

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 His name is Lindsay Graham. There was a time in his life when he could have been remembered by history as a leader of the once respected Republican Party. Along with the man he claimed was his closest friend, Senator John McCain from Arizona, they exposed corruption and controversial actions on both sides of the aisle. However when Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer. Apparently, Graham lost his mind completely. He became a devotee of what has not only been established as the worst president in American history, but a man closely connected  with Vladimir Putin as the worst men in the world. Although the negatives about Trump continue to mount, Graham remains loyal to the Russian agent whose orders are to destroy the United States of America. HOW THE FORMER PARTY OF LINCOLN DEVOLVED INTO PUPPETS FOR A RUSSIAN AGENT No one, and I mean no one will offer the complete truth about the history between Trump and Putin. Trump likely relinquished his American ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is clear that Trump has been given a free pass , confirming he is above the law, by the Justice Department. Any other man or woman who has committed the most egregious crimes in America would be in a federal prison awaiting trial.   He has also been given a free pass by the mainstream media. He has been allowed to tell outrageous lies, violate the Constitution constantly, conti nue his vicious and false attacks on real Americans, all without repercussions. If th e former fourth estate was not complicit in Trump’s campaign, his poll numbers would be in the minus column.   Not a single accomplishment in his life, no experience in government, including between 2017 and 2021 , a lifetime of crime exposed by more than 90 felony indictments, a confirmed and convicted sexual pred ator, recently convicted of 34 felony charges, the leader of America’s Neo - Nazi movement, these are some of Trump’s qualifications for becom ing your president. ...
