Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most of you are too young to remember my America: the country I loved and deserved my loyalty, respect, and trust. Sadly, that nation no longer exists, and I’m not sure if it will ever regain its position on the world’s stage. Humans are by far the weakest of all mammals. For the most part we are never happy with our personal situation. We want more, more, and more. We are also a lazy group. We look for someone else to do our work for us. John Adams: "Remember Democracy never lasts long". He further asserted that democracy "soon wastes exhausts and murders itself," and that "There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide.” Abraham Lincoln: "if destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide" Abraham Lincoln: “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart $270,000 per hour: that’s what it costs to operate Air Force One. More than $23,000,000: that is the amount of taxpayer money Trump spent using Air Force One for his personal pleasure in a little more than six months: lumbering around a golf course and partying at Mar-a-Lago. This does not include multiple additional expenses paid for by taxpayers. The total cost could reach $35,000,000. How much will he cost America over the next 42 months? Trump is in Scotland: not on our nation’s business, but promoting and playing golf at his latest acquisition, another golf course. If this is not a violation of the Emoluments Clause, my reading comprehension must be slipping. This is another reason why he must be impeached for the third time. Over the last six months, Trump fired hundreds of government workers, removed healthcare from tens of millions of needy Americans, and continues to ignore growing inflation, the war in Ukraine, and other critical issues faced by 340 mi...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The issues listed above exist. They receive a great amount of lip service, and nothing more. Washington D.C. was once a great city, a city every American would like to visit. For the majority of my 79 years I was proud to be a citizen of the United States of America. Everything changes. Standing still, accepting the status quo is not possible. Doing nothing is moving backwards. All of the above problems have solutions. However, all three branches of our government are playing politics. Therefore, an entire nation is being forced to accept the current situation, which literally means 340 million people are moving backwards into America’s dark past. Every one of these problems has one simple and fair solution, with the exception of Immigration Reform. This problem can only be solved through lengthy, sincere, and honest discussion and eventual compromise. Placing anyone who is not pure white in concentration camps is moronic and fascist. The remaining issues involv...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, don’t allow your emotions to override your intelligence and your logic. Think about my title and be honest about what is happening in today’s America. Our government is dysfunctional, not because the system is not workable, but because the men and women who are simply taking up space in Washington are incompetent, and refuse to listen to the needs and wishes of the majority. As far as the right to vote, just look at the results. In two out of the last three elections, the worst, least qualified, anti-American, fascist won although his victory was secured with the interference of the President of Russia. American voters are the least informed voters in the world. And while we’re discussing changing the way we elect our nation’s leaders, let’s include the Supreme Court. Barrett, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas have the intelligence of a dung beetle, and are five of the nine most powerful people in our country. Our nation has changed and the truth is fr...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America is a nation without laws which are fair and just. The Department of Justice and the Attorney General are no longer independent from the Executive Branch and serve their Fuhrer, not the 340 million people who are the United States of America. When Trump was allowed to become America’s 45 th president on January 20, 2017, I knew something wasn’t right. The greatest failure and least qualified man in history could not have defeated the most qualified presidential candidate in history. When we were allowed to know that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump, everything began to make sense. Months later, when I learned that a meeting was held in the Oval Office between Obama, Biden, the leaders of both political parties, and the heads of every security agency in America, and the purpose was to confirm Putin’s deep involvement, I became angry. My anger turned into rage when I discovered that the meeting took place one month befor...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For most of my 79 years, our nation’s leaders placed morality, and common sense in priority number one. This allowed the world to consider the United States the most respected nation ion the world. Then 9/11 happened. The second worst president in history, along with his Vice-President, who was opportunistic and a war monger, overreacted and altered the moral character and principles of what was once the most envied nation on the globe. The Constitution was placed in a dustbin, awaiting its destruction, as tactics of fear, anger, and hatred were used to secure power for one political party. Under the advice of the devil’s disciple, Dick Cheney, President George W. Bush approved radical and anti-American actions under the guise of protecting our nation from future terrorist attacks on American soil. This was all bullshit, and what became an effective method to control 330 million uninformed Americans, and win reelection. Hundreds, if not thousands of men who were...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The second worst president in American history was illegitimate. He was chosen by a corrupt, right-wing biased Supreme Court. We will never know what the results of the 2000 election would have been if the Florida recount had been completed. George W. Bush lacked the intelligence and experience to lead our country, and proved my assumptions that he would be the worst president in history: and remained so until 2017. Bush allowed Vice-President Dick Cheney to make decisions which affected our nation’s reputation, and the future of 330 million people. The devil himself sat on his left shoulder for eight years, whispering evil and destructive thoughts in his ear. If Bush had performed his duties, 9/11 might not have happened. However, he and Cheney went on vacation, although they had been warned about a probable attack on our nation, and the result was one of the darkest days in American history. As we all know, the end result was America’s involvement in two unwin...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you hate America and believe in Trump’s motto, “Make America White Again,” you should be celebrating tomorrow, July 4, and every day since January 20, 2017. Although you have been waiting since the 1940’s, your time has come. You have a dedicated fascist leader defiling the White House in Washington right now. You have many right-wing politicians to thank for your rise to power, but you must thank yourselves. On January 6, 2021 you attempted to retain power for your leader, Donald Trump, Although you failed, you were given another chance by a like-minded Supreme Court which violated the intent of the 14 th Amendment and allowed Trump to run for the presidency for the third time in 2024. You conspired with Trump’s American Fascist Party, Vladimir Putin, Moscow Mitch McConnell, and Elon Musk to illegally win the rigged election. You contributed to funding for Russian hackers who gained access to the voting machines in all seven swing states: this according to ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The place in which I reside on this day July 2, 2024, is not the United States of America. You can call it “Trumpland,” the “Fascist and Disunited States of America,” or any other name which is accurate and truthful. Whatever that name might be, it has no resemblance to the America I loved in my early years. I grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Patriotism was absolute. Our brave men and women had recently defeated the spread of fascism. The most evil man in world history was dead and his army defeated. After Harry Truman made the controversial decision to use nuclear weapons against the men, women, and children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese Emperor begged the alliance to accept his surrender. Every American celebrated the end of WWII for the days, weeks, and months which followed. No one is celebrating America today. Instead of patriotism, there are historical protests against our illegitimate president and his fascist army. Even Trump’s most ardent sup...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Killing men, women, and children, removing food and healthcare from our nation’s most needy, increasing profits for 813 oligarchs, doing nothing to lessen Greedflation, and adding as much as 10 trillion dollars, that’s $10,000,000,000,000, to the national debt. This is what will happen when Trump’s American Fascist Party passes his “big, beautiful, tax and spend bill.” However, as horrible as this bill is, and it is the most destructive piece of legislation in modern history, don’t play Trump’s game: don’t let him win. Trump and Putin have bigger plans. In the 1980’s, when Putin gained greater power within the KGB, he openly stated his life’s ambition: to destroy the United States of America once and for all. In 1987, Trump and first wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow at the invitation of the KGB and Vladimir Putin. As you would expect, there are no records of what happened during that visit. However, historical accounts, including Trump’s return to Moscow in 2013,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The 14 th Amendment, taken verbally or verified based on intent, confirms the undeniable fact that anyone born within the confines of the United States of America is a citizen, guaranteed all the rights and privileges enjoyed by every other American citizen. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside". This clause has been interpreted to grant citizenship to individuals born within the U.S. regardless of their parents' citizenship or immigration status.” This interpretation has been challenged by numerous, legitimate Supreme Courts. However, this fake and corrupted Court is following the demands of their Fuhrer, ignoring the Constitution, and once again recreating laws to serve their master. Trump is a traitor and should have been executed in 2021 for his actions on January 6 when he organized, planned, and executed a failed ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Moscow Mitch McConnell is a modern “Snidley Whiplash.” He is pure evil, a traitor to his country’s people, and the most destructive Senator in America’s nearly 249-year history. Moscow Mitch is serving his 7 th term in the Senate, a disgrace and a detriment to good government. He is the poster “boy” for why term limits are mandatory if our government is to survive. His ultimate crime against America was complete in October of 2020. This action confirmed the end of the only branch of our government not to be corrupted by the most disgusting and useless job in America: politics. Amy Coney Barrett, a Catholic extremist, was rushed through Senate confirmation hearings in September of 2020 when the legendary Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, lost her fight for life. Moscow Mitch broke his own rule and forced her confirmation through the Senate with less than one month before the election. Barrett’s only qualification was a promise to overturn a Supreme Cou...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   The Supreme Court of the United States is clearly fascist and anti-American.    When our Founding Fathers created this nation and signed the Constitution in 1789 , a unique form of government had been  created. They were aware that it was fragile and even vulnerable. If it was to succeed, it must be in the control of men and women who would have a moral standard beyond reproach, lofty principles which wo uld never be surrendered under any circumstances, and progressive ideals which wou ld result in the growth of the new nation and its service to all Americans.  However, they made a huge mistake which is endangering the future of their dream.   It is no longer a secret. The great men and their monumental ambition, the creation of a nation ruled by the people for the people, overestimated mankind .   All men have weakness. Most men lack the courage to place their responsibility to always do the right thing for the men...
