Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am compelled to write about “the man who would be king” every day, but I take no joy in informing the American people about the most evil and destructive man in world history. I often fear that my readers “can’t handle the truth.” Between 2017 and 2021, Trump caused enormous and irreparable harm to my country. Trump 2.0 has been an effort to add every nation in the world to his plans for devastation. The people of the world are threatened by his foolhardy tariffs, and every resident of every nation is concerned about the end of world peace, fearing a third World War. The United States has not enjoyed a great leader since 1963. Without a great man or woman living in the White House who possesses great love for all the people of his or her nation, America cannot move forward. Being President of the United States demands patriotism, concern for the future of all Americans, a high level of intelligence, and sometimes good, old common sense. Trump fails to possess ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It was May 6, 2024. While playing with his boy toys, his oligarchs, at Mar-a-Lago, Trump made a hilarious statement, calling President Biden and his staff the “Gestapo Administration.” His reason was based on the fact that a real President was purging traitors from our nation. Biden had the ‘nerve’ to prosecute criminals who just happened to be GOP candidates running for political office. If Trump was allowed to run for office, after committing the greatest act of treason in American history, why shouldn’t they? The reason: the only person placed above the law by the Supreme Court of the United States in history is Donald John Trump. This is hilarious because Trump is using his personal Gestapo, known as ICE, to violate the Fifth Amendment rights of thousands of men, women, and children by kidnapping them and placing them in concentration camps without due process. It is impossible for any man or woman who reads the truth about what is happening in our country t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In October of 2024, Trump knew he would be given a victory on November 5 th . In 2016 he was honestly surprised that he had become our nation’s 45 th and first illegitimate president. He knew that Putin was behind the scenes, doing everything possible to guarantee a win for fascism, however, he did not know what Putin knew: he couldn’t lose. In 2024, he was aware of the truth: the fix was in. He would win all seven swing states and the popular vote. This all seemed impossible. His hate rallies were sparsely attended, and the results of the 2020 election revealed the fact that most Americans despised the worst illegitimate president in history. The second time around, Trump was prepared: not to lead our country, but to accomplish Putin’s goals for America’s future. He possesses a 922-page guide, which listed plans to destroy our democratic nation. It is called “Project 2025.” The following presents a small section of his agenda, written weeks before the election...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In February of 2020 Trump gave another traitor the Presidential Medal of Freedom: Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh intentionally divided our nation for years with the intent of aiding the ambitions of fascist members of the former Republican Party. He did nothing for his country. His primary purpose was personal gain. Therefore, it was no surprise that another fascist gave him an honor which once meant something to those who received it. Today, Trump announced that he will award another traitor the same meaningless medal. It was Rudy Giuliani who appeared in multiple courts, attempting to overturn the results of the “fairest and most secure election in history.” Giuliani knew the truth. However, the former failed Mayor of New York is loyal to Trump, not to his country. Personally, I believe all awards have become political, and most are undeserved. This includes the Academy Awards and the Emmys. If they are deserved, the fact that there are more awards shows than I can c...

                                                                HYPOCRISY Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, the truth. There would be no “Red” or “Blue” states if the Unconstitutional Electoral College did not exist. Although the original intent was to ensure that the president would be chosen by the people, “one person, one vote,” the EC allows the states to choose our leaders. If you live in a “Red” State, and you vote for the Democratic candidate, your vote will likely be wasted. Just the opposite is true in Deep, “Blue” states. If you vote for the Republican candidate, you have wasted your time and your vote. Red states overwhelmingly vote for anyone with an “R” next to his or her name. They have no interest in the candidate’s position on the issues. Their attitude is “never vote for a damn Yankee.” Ignorance is costly and dest...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As we all learned more about Trump over the last 10+ years, it became crystal clear why he failed at every business venture in his life, including casinos, and why he was forced to rely on assistance from foreign nations to avoid absolute financial ruin. Anyone who voted for Trump, in any of three disastrous elections, placed the economy of 340 million people in the incapable hands of a draft dodger and criminal who avoided paying taxes with fraudulent practices. Every qualified economist in our country warned against Trump’s plan to place large tariffs on every other nation in the world, including our oldest and most trusted allies. In 1930, Herbert Hoover was faced with economic disaster after the beginning of the Great Depression in 1929. His idea was to place tariffs on most imported commodities. His plan failed miserably, and exacerbated the many problems facing the American people. Beginning in 1981 with Ronald Reagan, the idea of free trade agreements wer...

Op-ed from TheWiseOldFart Fact: Trump lies constantly. Fact: the dictator is placing our nation under Martial Law using the fake and fraudulent excuse of “law and order.” Another violation of the Constitution. Fact: Trump is closely following his fascist manifesto called ‘Project 2025.’ Fact: the corrupt federal government of the United States is allowing our nation’s biggest traitor to end the dream of our Founding Fathers. Why isn’t anyone doing something? Every day, Trump has been allowed to violate the Constitution. He has already used the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments as toilet paper. [Asked about plans to expand ICE operations in Chicago specifically, Noem told CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” “We’ve already had ongoing operations with ICE in Chicago and throughout Illinois and other states, making sure that we’re upholding our laws, but we do intend to add more resources to those operations.”] The very existence of ICE, the Patriot Act, and Trump’s illegitimate presidenci...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is playing the ultimate right-wing ‘card:’ he is attempting to suppress votes in all future elections. History proves that when the voter turnout is above average, and the election is fair and secure, his party loses. The “most secure and fair election in history,” held in November of 2020, proves my claim. Last week the fascist announced that he will do everything in his power to end voting by mail, which has proven to be the safest and most secure way to be counted. However, if I could not vote by mail, my disabilities would prevent me from using my Constitutional right. Today, he announced that he will again violate the Constitution and abuse his powers and require voter ID for all elections. "Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!," Trump said on Truth Social. Are you tired of living in a nation ruled by a fascist dictator? If you are, demand action from your government...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The statistics about the homeless in America are totally inaccurate. The estimates are far below the facts. I know this because in the 2010 Census, I was in a unique position to learn facts about homelessness in America few others will ever know. I met weekly with members of the Reno Area Alliance for the Homeless. These kind and caring people know the truth and from them I learned the reality of why and how men, women, and families become homeless. I was surprised that a percentage of our nation’s homeless population choose to remain in their situations. I believe that most people think that housing, clothing, and healthy food are all these disenfranchised Americans need. I was invited into the shelters. I was impressed. It is clear that my city cares about all of its people. There are separate shelters for men and women, and family shelters for the growing number of men, women, and children who no longer have a permanent residence. I also toured “tent city.” I...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When Trump is not wasting taxpayer money chasing a little white ball through grass and sand, or partying at his garish Mar-a-Lago millionaire’s playpen, he spends his time in the Oval Office attempting to take revenge on anyone who resists his vile efforts to destroy America, knowing that they possess far superior abilities and intellect than himself. His latest act of pure childishness took place this week when he removed Secret Service protection for the second woman to defeat him in a presidential election: Kamala Harris. Trump’s lifelong affliction with malignant narcissism prevents him from accepting the fact that two women, Vice-President Harris and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, defeated him easily. Only interference from Vladimir Putin’s hackers allowed him to defile our White House. Don’t worry. The California Highway Patrol has been assigned to safeguard Ms. Harris and her family. The truth is, they will probably do a better job. You might rememb...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The people of Iowa won’t miss her. Over the last 12 years, Joni Ernst failed to accomplish one positive thing. Like every other member of Trump’s fascist party, she carried his bags in a display of loyalty to her Nazi Master, while failing the people of Iowa and the entire population of the United States. She is expected to make an announcement this week telling her constituents that she will not run for a third term. Insiders claim that she never planned to run for reelection in 2026. However, after she was booed by angry Republicans at a town hall meeting, it was no surprise. She is joining other deserters including Moscow Mitch McConnell, Tommy Tuberville, and Thom Tillis. None of them will be missed. Over the last 10 years, those who call themselves “Republicans” have proven that they abandoned the principles and ideals of the former Grand Old Party years ago. Today’s fake Republican Party is composed of incompetents and fools. In three consecutive elections...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “He took my toy.” “Mom, he’s making faces at me.” “He won’t share with me.” These are all things a bratty, spoiled little child might say, and this is how Trump and his people are running our country. They have all learned to whine about everything which doesn’t go their way. When they do something wrong, which often happens, they blame someone else for their failures. I refused to accept this type of behavior from my children, and I sure as hell will not accept it from any elected official in control of my future. A perfect example of how immature and unfit Trump’s administration has become happened yesterday. I swear on my walker, this is 100% true. [Attorney General Pam Bondi fired a Justice Department employee on Friday accused of flipping off National Guard members deployed to Washington D.C. as part of President Donald Trump's effort to mitigate crime in the city, a Justice Department official confirmed.] This is additional proof of how fragile the mal...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most of you know that on November 9, 2016, I promised myself to never watch television news again, and to fact check every article I read. I have kept that promise. My reason for this decision was based on the 2016 campaign. There were many lies about Hillary Clinton posted on social media and the mainstream media. However, the most grievous crime against American voters was posting headlines filled with ambiguity and half-truths. As a political writer, I understand the importance of titles to get the attention of readers. However, legitimate journalists continue their refusal to do the right thing and use words which are definitive and their meaning undeniable when writing about the worst president in history. Not once in November or December 2020 did I read a headline which told the absolute truth. Not a single legitimate publication had the courage to say, “Trump Lies to the American People,” or “Trump was Badly Beaten in the 2020 Election, and He Knows It,” ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you read me regularly, I frequently offer my opinion that Trump would not complete his second term as your illegitimate president just weeks after the inauguration. I am no longer alone. Other political writers are noticing a steep decline in his physical and mental abilities. What did you expect? Although I expected the truth to come into the light of day, confirming that the 2016 and 2024 elections were “rigged by Putin,” Trump is the oldest man ever elected, legally or illegally, to the presidency. If we look at Trump’s “second coming” on January 20, 2025, it was immediately clear that Trump lacks any ability to think clearly. Bringing Elon Musk into his administration was ignorant and irresponsible. Musk, like Trump, had no experience at any level in government. Trump claimed that he would reduce the national debt by at least two trillion dollars. He did not At the same time, Trump was planning to place tariffs on everyone, including our closest allies, d...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I consider respect the most necessary quality in a friend, family member, or a workmate. Without respect, there can be no trust. The truth about respect and trust is nether can be given freely, they must be earned. Trump is pissed off at another Democrat. That is not news. However, the schoolyard bully is once again whining about criticism he deserves. The orange buffoon is threatening to declare martial law in another state. He plans to send his fascist military in the form of the national guard, into Baltimore, Maryland. In response, Maryland Governor, Wes Moore, had a few things to say about another stupid and fascist idea. During his response to Trump’s threat, he began his comments with a hilarious and accurate fact about Trump’s display of cowardice in 1964. [Moore ― who served in Afghanistan ― fired back by calling Trump “President Bone Spurs,” a reference to a disputed diagnosis the president used to duck military service during the Vietnam War.] Okay, o...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Our Founding Fathers left the country of their origin for numerous reasons. However, the primary reason was far simpler than what is contained in the volumes written by historians. It comes down to one issue: human rights. Everything they accomplished at the Constitutional Convention between 1787 and 1789 was focused on the individual. The country belongs to the people. They choose their leaders who are nothing more than public servants. Their creation of a ‘check and balance system,’ three branches with equal but separate powers, would prevent what is happening today. There was never going to be king of the United States of America, or any other form of autocrat. However, one unconstitutional and immoral action by six corrupt members of the Supreme Court voided their intent. Our government is in chaos, totally out of control. Sadly, the men and women we elected to serve and protect us have become our enemies. If they are not working for us, they are worki...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like everything else in his pitiful life, Trump has never experienced a victory in any endeavor he attempted, as proven by two illegitimate victories in Putin’s rigged presidential elections. In 2016 he was far down in the final polls. In 2024, attendance at his hate rallies was in steep decline. He was obviously losing support and is just one of the factors involved in allegations by me and others that this was a second rigged election by the Russian President. In the private sector, he barely survived with the use of bribes, “hush money” paid to witnesses, tax evasion, and bailouts by Putin and the Saudi Royal Family. There are unsubstantiated accusations of the use of paid assassins to eliminate several of his adversaries. Because he is incapable of performing the duties of a real president, and will continue to face opposition willing to remove him from his illegitimate presidency by any means, the schoolyard bully must become a fascist dictator. This is the...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was a much younger man. One day I was reading the newspaper and all the news was so bad, so depressing, I thought to myself: “God made one, big mistake: He created man.” I didn’t even know that He knew it until I happened to read it in Genesis one day. I was mostly interested in the New Testament, and the teachings of Jesus Christ. [6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”] The difference in what I felt was about the animals, our oceans, the earth, and the sky. Prior to the industrialization of our planet, mankind killed animals for necessity: food, clothing, and even housing. When I was much younger, I learned that men killed animals for sport, and abused them for “fun.” I began paying attention ...
