Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has never worked a full day in his pitiful and worthless life. He has no idea how difficult life can be for most Americans. The sad truth is, he doesn’t care. Friday, Trump laid off more than 4,000 federal employees. In the first weeks of his illegitimate administration, he and his former “bestie,” Elon Musk. chose to fire thousands of government employees who actually worked for a living. Because of his destructive actions, Trump is blocking the monthly jobs report, knowing that unemployment is reaching levels not seen since 2007. The truth is clear. The posted schedule for the men and women who hold positions in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our corrupt government are paid excessive amounts of money, but only perform their responsibilities for a small amount of time each year. Trump’s “work” schedule averages about three hours each day when he is in the White House. He spends hours each day watching television where, according to h...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s ignorant supporters would claim that my title is a lie. If you call ethnic cleansing, political retribution, destroying critical agencies, giving tax cuts to those who don’t need or deserve them, golfing, partying at Mar-a-Lago, and spending more than 10 million dollars of taxpayer money to open a golf club in Scotland, then yes, he is very busy spending your money for his own purposes. Let’s go back in time. In his first week in office in 2009, Barack Obama gathered the greatest minds available and make plans to save our nation’s economy from complete collapse. George W. Bush’s failed economic policies and his choices to place our nation in two costly and unwinnable wars were disastrous and totally incompetent decisions. In January of 2021, after Trump’s coup failed, and he violated the Espionage Act by stealing at least 14 boxes of national secrets as he finally left the White House and moved to Mar-a-Lago, a real President met with his team and create...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is an irrefutable fact that voting for Trump was a choice to be ignorant and totally uninformed. The greatest harm Trump is creating greatly affects the people who support him, who he refers to as “basement dwellers.” “Ignorant voters of the democracies are always a great threat to the progression of humanity, simply because they give their votes to the people who look like themselves!”― Mehmet Murat ildan I remember when the second worst president in American history was running in 2000. I was working in the Northern Nevada casinos and overheard a group of rich cattle ranchers talking about George W. Bush. One remark made me laugh, and later, cry. “He’s just like us. He’s a guy I’d like to have a beer with.” I may have higher standards than most, but I continue to believe that the man or woman who leads our nation should have great intelligence and exceptional morals, ethics, and principles. This was not “W,” and it sure as hell is not Donald John Trump. I b...

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 The story of an “Antichrist” is found in the Old Testament in John 1, 2, and 4. However, John states that the Antichrist is not singular, but includes many who deny the teachings of Jesus Christ and seek to take his place on earth. I am convinced by his words and actions that Trump is indeed the Antichrist of the 21 st century. He opposes everything taught by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. [Love: Jesus' teachings place love at the very center, urging followers to love God and love their neighbors as themselves. This love extends to enemies, demonstrating a radical approach to compassion and forgiveness.] Trump preaches anger, hatred, violence in his name, and revenge. He has spent his first five months in office seeking revenge against anyone he perceives as his enemy. This need to spite those who disagree with his fascist policies is the direct result of his lifelong disease, Malignant Narcissism. Malignant Narcissism: “Malignant narcissism is a form o...

Donald Trump’s America is not my America. I no longer trust anyone with power over my life. I have no reason to respect anyone in our federal government. If I met any member of our three branches of government today, I would ask them this question: “who the fuck are you, and why are you doing nothing for me and my fellow Americans? This is your job.” It is not exclusively the failure of our government to perform the jobs for which they were elected and appointed. The mainstream media, formerly the “Fourth Estate,” fails to expose the massive corruption and criminal action happening in Washington today. Let’s look at a few examples of how extreme the hypocrisy and cowardice has become within the print, internet, radio, and television media. The disastrous results of the 2016 presidential election are a perfect example of how the mainstream media refuses to do the right thing, placing profits ahead of the future of 340 million people. These are facts. Like today’s fake Republicans, the m...

  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. ...
