Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Let me give you a simple but accurate example of how incompetent your government has become. Most of our nation’s people, about 80 percent, want to end the useless process of changing our clocks twice a year. Daylight Savings Time serves no purpose, is annoying, and even dangerous in several situations. For more than 40 years our nation’s people have expressed their support for ending this ludicrous process, and for more than 40 years our government has ignored us. Our government no longer serves our needs and wishes, it works for itself and the super-rich.   Sleep deprivation, a sudden change in the level of the sun, these are just two of the situations created by a sudden change of time. If there was a single reason why this process should continue, I have not read anything which is realistic.   Once again, this situation can be explained by three words, “follow the money.” States which rely on tourism, such as Florida are opposed to common sense.

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   George W. Bush was undoubtedly the second worst president in history, and not the ‘sharpest tool in the shed.’ However, he did predict the “Axis of Evil” which is destroying our nation n today.    To be totally truthful , “W’s” Republican Party imploded on January 20, 2017. These pretenders, claiming to be members of the once Grand Old Party, have no resemblance to the Party of Lincoln. They follow a fascist whose loyalty is to Vladimir Putin. Trump hates America and has been totally honest about one fact: he will never represent all of our nation’s people. He is not an American and cannot be allowed to claim that title again.   Donald John Trump is the creator and leader of the Axis of Evil. He and his entire MAGA Party hate you and they hate me because we believe in democracy and cherish the Constitution.   I read speeches by American Presidents, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Barack Obama and feel good and proud to be an Amer

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart        I offer you irrefutable proof that the mainstream television media is in collusion with Donald Trump and his party. The events which happened on the darkest day in American history on January 6, 2021, have never been shown to the American people, allowing them to decide whether or not Trump is our nation’s biggest traitor. If you watched the violent insurrection, you have undeniable proof that Donald John Trump organized, planned and executed an attempted coupe while our government was in the Capitol Building confirming the Electoral College vote during the 2020 election. Over three hours I watched Trump’s people, Neo-Nazi groups and disgruntled former and present members of law enforcement and the military, commit acts of violence, desecrating one of our most treasured buildings, hunting for Mike Pence, and Nancy Pelosi with the intention of murdering the vice-president and Speaker of the House. Meanwhile, Trump was watching the travesty on television

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart     Although there has been one caucus in an inconsequential state, and one primary in an equally unimportant state, leaders in the former Republican Party have decided that Trump will be their only nominee in 2024. This may be the saddest statement in our nation’s 247-year history. Democracy is disappearing as those who call themselves Republicans continue to abandon the principles, morals, and standards of the once Grand Old Party.   Politicians on the right side of the aisle are desperate. Without Trump fascist cult, they have no change in winning seats anywhere in the 2024 election. Their base is literally dying and they have nothing to offer the American people other than lies and rule by a fascist regime under the control of Donald Trump and his handler, Vladimir Putin.   Later in February, South Carolina will hold its primary. It appears that Nikki Haley is placing all her marbles in one basket. As the former Governor of the state, she has lost favor a
