  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There is no doubt that millions of Republican voters are ignorant, uninformed, and simply “batshit crazy.” Over the last nine years, thanks to Trump and his MAGA Republicans, I have watched the dumbing down of America, and this has become a dangerous situation. THE CONFEDERACY HAS RISEN FROM THEIR GRAVES I firmly believe that our country is engaged in a Second Civil War. A situation in Tennessee may offer the ultimate proof about my allegation. A bill in Tennessee’s fascist, right-wing legislature is being fast tracked. If passed, and it is expected to succeed, it would allow the Confederate flag to be placed in the state’s schools and ban the Pride flag in those same buildings. Now take a minute to think about this. These ignorant, old white men, who were elected to serve the American people, would place the flag of traitors who sought the overthrow of our government in a position of honor. At the same time, they would ban the flag of innocent people who ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Last weekend a Republican event was held in Washington, D.C., attended by hundreds of right-wing politicians and supporters. I’m not referring to the extremist, pro-Trump morons who continue to shout the same angry and hate-filled attacks they did nine years ago. This was held by an anti-Trump group calling it the “Principles First Summit.” SAVING AMERICA FROM TRUMP AND HIS HATERS These men and women openly expressed their belief that Trump is a serious threat to democracy in America. They plan to focus on Republican supporters who favor Nikki Haley. Their target audience shares a single belief: “GOP defections will be the single largest factor in the November outcome.” I agree to a point. However, a recent Gallup poll revealed an all-important fact: 49 percent of all registered voters consider themselves Independents. I view this as a very positive step in American politics. Both major parties have failed the American people. Those who call themselves...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Recently MAGA Republicans backed away from a bill agreed to by President Biden, a bill they asked for many times. It would have virtually closed our nation’s southern border with Mexico. Their only reason for reversing their position 180 degrees were words from America’s worst former president. I am no fan of Ronna McDaniel However, her only reason for removing herself as the Republican leader in the RNC is Trump’s demand that she steps aside. His plan to replace her is founded on nepotism. His plan is to place forgotten son Eric’s wife in this powerful position. TRUMP IS A POWERLESS COWARD AND A BULLY I ask, “why are today’s fake Republicans afraid of Trump?” His only weapon is the hot air coming from his lips. He has no powers other than those surrendered by right-wing politicians and his fascist cult. Over the last nine years we watched two situations unfold. What began in 1981 came to fruition on January 20, 2017. With the inauguration of Donald John Trump c...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It doesn’t require a medical professional to come to the conclusion that Trump is in the middle stages of dementia. He misspeaks constantly, can’t remember events, names, or what city he is in. Although he and I are just three weeks apart in age, my mind is much sharper than the obese, old man who wants to defile the White House once again. AGE IS A REALITY AND SOME AGE MORE QUICLY THAN OTHERS A 77, I cannot deny that age makes a difference. I have difficulty standing in one place, my eyesight is weakening, and I find other physical discomfort I choose not to discuss. However, I read. I am constantly looking for information. I have retained my comprehension and my awareness. Trump has become a rambling idiot. THE FOURTH ESTATE NO LONGER EXISTS In the 21 st century the truth does not exist on television. Most of the media is more concerned with profits and continued existence rather than the absolute truth. Television networks, both national and cable, continue ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Early in 2017, Trump, by his own words, admitted that he was the leader of the white supremacy movement in America. Trump’s attempted coupe on January 6 was led by leaders of several Neo-Nazi groups. If we go back to the late 1960’s, when Trump worked for his racist father, if a Black man or woman sought residence in one of Fred’s apartment buildings, a large, red “C” was placed at the top of the application. You cannot be a Black American and support the whitest man with the whitest agenda in America.   A Modern Day “Uncle Tom”   Byron Donalds is a Republican Representative from Florida. Although he has skin which would define him as a “Black American,” he is not. He is a Trump supporter. When asked if he would accept the vice-presidential nomination if Trump offered it to him, his response was, “who wouldn’t?”   Desperation and Stupidity are an Ugly Combination   During another of his many, many hate speeches, Trump claimed that becau...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’ll say it again and again and again until everyone recognizes the truth: no one on the right is qualified to lead America. Those who call themselves “Republicans” continue to be incompetent. Their economic policies fail badly, they are racists, homophobic, misogynists, and practice religious bigotry. These facts are clear and undeniable, proven by the words and actions of their Fuhrer, Donald John Trump. He is unquestionably the worst man in the world. Over the last nine years I desperately searched for one redeeming quality possessed by your former illegitimate president, but he has none. When everything coming out of his pie hole is a lie, he will never be believed or trusted by any person with average intelligence. Although she lost the South Carolina primary, her home state, by 21 points, Nikki Haley offered the press this comment: “I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run for president. I’...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The image of the United States of America in the minds of our idealistic Founding Fathers can be found in the words contained in the Declaration of Independence and the first ten Amendments in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. However, I doubt they would see their dreams in today’s America. Some of the mistakes they made were originally based on the levels of integrity within their peers. Politicians have morphed into corrupt and ambitious men and women. Political success takes precedence over the welfare of our nation’s people in the 21 st century. The Word is Freedom Every person who signed our most sacred documents agreed that the First Amendment contained the rights most important to every American. However, in 2017 Trump and his American Fascist Party began to remove those rights, claiming that they are reserved exclusively for wealthy white men. Their ambition is to remove our democratic government and replace it with fascism with Trump as their Fuhre...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here are Trump’s own words. When you stop laughing, I’ll give you the facts. “Remember, every communist regime throughout history has tried to stamp out the churches, just like every fascist regime has tried to co-opt them and control them,” Trump told hundreds of cheering attendees at the National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention in Nashville. “And, in America, the radical left is trying to do both.” TWO MEN: ONE A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN, THE OTHER AN EVIL FASCIST WHO WOULD DESTROY OUR COUNTRY First and foremost Trump and his MAGA Republicans support a fascist agenda, and are in the complete control of the Christian Religious Right. But let’s focus on the two men expected to face each other on November 5 th . Believe me, they are very, very different. President Biden has consistently displays his belief in Catholicism. He goes to church and his speech is often filled with compassion and respect for all Americans. I h...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Years ago, I reported about the problems in the Middle East. My allegation was focused on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his refusal to negotiate with Palestinian leaders in good faith. Instead, he continued his policy of taking land away from the Palestinian people to grow the size of Israel. Recently he attempted to eliminate his country’s Supreme Court, amassing all power for himself. This might remind you of America’s 45 th and illegitimate president who continues his big lie, that the 2020 election was “rigged.” A JUSTIFIABLE RESPONSE No one denies Israel’s retaliation against Hamas for the kidnapping and murders of innocent men, women, and children. However, his disrespect and lack of compassion for thousands of innocent people in Gaza is inhumane and unforgivable. AN EFFORT TOWARDS AUTOCRACY What must be examined are his plans for the Palestinian people. He continues to reject a “two-state solution,” denying the human rights of an en...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   If you want to see Donald Trump’s America, watch the “highlights” of the annual bitch-fest known as CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, over the next few days. However, if you have high blood pressure, or a heart condition, listening to men and women who have a lower-than-average IQ, and hate their country, may result in a cardiac event or even death.   Today's Ringmaster is Also a Clown The leader of all right-wing politicians received an award this week. In a rating from first to 45 th , Donald John Trump received the much-deserved title of “worst president in history.” If he’s the best they have to offer, take a moment to think about how disastrous the rest of his party would be if allowed to defile the White House.   The truth is simple and irrefutable. Not a single man or woman calling themselves a “Republican” is qualified to lead our nation, and most, like Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Loren Boebert, Jim Jordan, Ted...
