Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After the cowardly attacks on 9/11, our country became obsessed with “terrorism.” A ‘knee-jerk’ reaction by a Republican administration created the unconstitutional “Patriot Act,” and created a Gestapo known as ICE. However, a few years ago, then FBI Director, Christopher Wray, informed Congress that domestic terrorism is now the greatest danger to the American people. This has been proven by one statistic. Since 2017, there have been more mass shootings every year than days on the calendar. However, with a Hitler wannabe defiling our White House in 2025, domestic terrorism has revealed itself as our own government, and members of the United States Military. Trump is using a group of thugs and criminals as his own personal Gestapo, known as ICE, to accomplish his personal goal to ‘ethnically cleanse’ all Hispanics from America. Hitler was his idol. Every legitimate news agency with the courage to report the truth has stories to tell about these thugs and villain...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Hopefully, if our planet is to survive, the United States of America will remain the only nation in history to have used nuclear weapons on innocent men, women, and children. On December 8, 1987, U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and Soviet Premier, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed an agreement eliminating an entire class of nuclear missiles, specifically ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. I assume that all Americans hoped that this was the beginning of the end of the constant threat of world annihilation with the use of nuclear weapons. Just days ago, the moronic and evil President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, announced that he had ordered a test of a new, long-range nuclear weapon. He has been the greatest enemy that America, and the world, has faced since Adolf Hitler. He must be stopped. Yesterday, the worst, illegitimate president in American history, Donald John Trump, ordered our military to begin nuclear testin...

And Beyond Repair   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This is another “only in America” story which proves that the government of the United States is the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. Democratic countries elect governments to represent the needs and wishes of their people. Until 1981, America’s government functioned in this manner, although in a barely adequate manner. Today’s pretenders are entirely dysfunctional. Every country must pass an annual budget at the beginning of each year. The American government is unique, but, as always, not in a good way. Every year, they must agree to a “debt ceiling.” What this means is that arguments ensue based on political positions regarding which issues will receive funding and how much that might be. Although a budget had been agreed on by both parties, it meant nothing. “Politics is the worst profession in the world.” That brings us to where we are today. A government shutdown is in its fourth week. But it’s not a total governme...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I’ve said it all. I know everything about Trump, all of it bad, and anyone who doesn’t see what I see is choosing to be ignorant. Trump lacks everything needed to be an average president because he is void of the qualities necessary which compose a good person. It doesn’t take a genius to see that all of his problems are related to the irrefutable fact that he has less than average intelligence, was poorly educated, and possesses absolutely no common sense. I grew up in Los Angeles in the 1950’s and 1960’s. My brother and I were latchkey kids, and most of our entertainment at home came from a 19-inch black-and-white television. Even when doing homework, the television was on. Therefore, I often think of people I know as characters I saw in movies and on sitcoms. Trump reminds me of the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. The only thing he wanted was a “brain.” However, unlike Trump, he learned that he possessed common sense, and made good decisions most of the time. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is the worst person in the world. He hates his own country, and continues to seek revenge against anyone who offered even the slightest criticism of his words and actions. However, I began researching Trump’s life over 10 years ago, a few weeks before he attempted to make a grand entrance inside Trump Tower to declare his intent to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination. Like anyone else who researched and wrote about Washington in the 21 st century, I found it humorous, and never thought that the least qualified person in the world would become the leader of 330 million people. I underestimated the level of ignorance and hatred possessed by most Republican voters. The orange buffoon easily won most of the 2015-2016 primaries, defeating 16 poorly qualified men and women, but would have been better choices than the driver of the clown car. The truth is, he did not win with ideas about how to solve our nation’s problems, he won with personal ass...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The government of the United States is the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. The way things are today, America is not worth saving. Another “What If,” and This One Involves Canada. Early in his second illegitimate term, Trump talked a lot about ‘annexing Canada,’ and making it part of the United States. No one laughed harder than every Canadian citizen. However, this made me think about an alternative to Trump’s sad and laughable idea. Canada is not a nation constantly preparing for the next war. Canada’s citizens have universal healthcare for every man, woman, and child, without cost. They have a diverse society and is envied by nations around the world. There is little racism, and bigotry anywhere in their country, and when questioned are mostly pleased with their lives. The people of Canada are known for their kindness and their lifestyle. Canada is rated fifth in quality of life, behind Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, and Denmark in the number on...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Pentagon has chosen to follow a fascist and ignore Constitutional law and American principles. I no longer live in the United States of America. I reside in a nation ruled by a bloodthirsty and vindictive tyrant who believes his people exist solely to serve him. Trump is using the illegal and unnecessary ICE to act as his personal Gestapo. The military has agreed to violate the Constitution and allow Trump to use the National Guard to aid ICE and help prevent peaceful protests. Over the last few weeks Trump ordered a more than willing military to attack Venezuelan boats, not military ships, claiming they were illegally transporting drugs. 14 individuals have been murdered. Even if Trump is correct, the United States has no right to interfere in the actions or inactions of any foreign nation. Bush acted in similar fashion, waging illegal and unwinnable wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. What did those military actions achieve? Trump is guilty of first-degree...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The not so well-kept secret that Trump is a fascist dictator is not a surprise. Trump hates America and what most of our nation’s people support: celebrating our diversity, inclusion for all, and complete equality regardless of your ethnic origin, color of your skin, religious affiliation, sex or sexual orientation. He is the leader of the Nazi movement in America. [Fascism: a far-right, authoritarian political ideology and system of government characterized by a dictatorial leader, a centralized autocratic government, and the forcible suppression of opposition. It is marked by extreme nationalism, a belief in the supremacy of the nation over the individual, and often a cult of personality around the leader. Other common features include militarism, suppression of dissent, and a rejection of democratic liberalism.] Convince me that the above is not an accurate definition of Trump and his party. Senator Bernie Sanders is the champion of the majority: the working ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Under orders from their Fuhrer-in-Chief, the United States military has been sinking Venezuelan boats and killing civilians. Trump claims that they are drug smugglers, while the government of Venezuela says they were pleasure craft. Members of the National Guard are invadeing blue states as Trump attempts to enact martial law to prevent protests against his fascist policies. Maybe Trump wants to give the Pentagon a much-needed victory They couldn’t defeat the North Koreans, were forced to retreat from Vietnam permanently, and lost to the Taliban and Iraq’s army before the conflicts began. Our military is not trained to fight in those types of wars. Hell, they couldn’t stop Trump’s Nazi army from invading the Capitol Building on January 6. Martha Gellhorn, a famous war correspondent, once wrote: "Governments are all bad everywhere, only differently bad. I've known that for a long time". This quote reflects her long and varied experience covering con...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donny Dictator grew up in a different ‘America’ than yours truly. He was born into a very wealthy family in New York. I grew up poor in West Los Angeles. However, our biggest differences involved what we were taught with words and by example as we grew and became young men. Trump remained in a world of white privilege, while I learned about the real America shared by the majority. I worked hard for everything I have: my education, my home, and my family. Donny Boy was exposed to racism and bigotry from the time he could walk. His father taught him that he was more important, and smarter than anyone else. I was raised by a single mother and my maternal grandparents. They taught me to respect others, regardless of their ethnicity, the color of their skin, or their economic status. I was taught to be humble but confident in my personal abilities. Trump’s entire world was about becoming wealthy and relevant. He learned nothing about what happens in the real America ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has no idea what he is doing. His decision to shut down America’s government is beginning to cause havoc across America. This happened Sunday morning. [The FAA issued a temporary ground stop at one of the world’s busiest airports soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed and cancelations in the coming days as the nation’s air traffic controllers work without pay during the federal government shutdown.] Trump is using Ronald Reagan’s tactics. He refuses to negotiate with Democrats, telling them, “it’s my way or no way.” Can you say, “malignant narcissism?” This arrogance and moronic attitude can only result in disaster. I was employed by an airline at LAX between 1967 and 1977. I often worked in operations. My job required close verbal contact with pilots. Everyone has some understanding of the importance of Air Traffic Controllers, but they are more critical than you might believe. Not only ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is not an American. He does not believe in the Bill of Rights, and definitely not in equality. Over the last nine months there is no doubt that he is the leader of the Neo-Nazi Party in America. Trump has zero class, and his tastes in architecture are garish and gaudy. This is important to me because I love history. When an historical building is demolished, it is very painful. Trump has destroyed the entire east wing of the White House without permission from its owners, we, the people. In its place, an unnecessary “ballroom” will be constructed, which will be twice as large as what remains of the original building. Without a doubt it will be the ugliest building on Capitol Hill. I have no doubt it will be an atrocity. I have pictures of Trump’s residence in Trump Tower. Only a Roman emperor could sleep at night in his ridiculous golden monstrosity. Once again, your illegitimate president is abusing his powers. There is absolutely no doubt that his most e...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s Nazi Party is desperate to downplay the “No Kings” protests last Saturday. Regardless of their lies, the historic turnout was one of the most American actions in decades. True Americans denounced Trump and his Nazi Party as they attempt to destroy democracy in America. Any politician calling themselves “Republican” today is a liar. They are fascists who would burn the Constitution and place Trump in power over the people until the day he dies. They are traitors and must be punished for the ultimate crime they have committed against the American people. Your votes can “take them out” next year. Trump is destroying America on two fronts today. He is using the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th Amendments as toilet paper, and at the same time approving the demolition of a huge part of the White House. He actually believes it belongs to him and not to the American people. In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson declined to run for reelection. His reason was based...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you thought our government was in chaos, this is just the beginning. Not a single member of the Trump administration has any idea what they are doing. When their leader is an old, obese, vengeful, mentally challenged, and ignorant loser, what would you expect? Trump is a dictator, but he’s failing at this effort as he has everything else in his life. He and his Nazi Party can say anything they wish about the historic protests on October 18, but the truth lis clear. Real Americans, real patriots, will never live under fascist rule. By the time Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, he had the support of more than 95 percent of the German people. Trump’s supporters are decreasing in number. His support, at the highest estimate, is about 30 percent and in decline. these masked villains are not fully vetted, and many cannot pass drug testing or the physical requirements. The truth is clear: the federal government of the United States has a single purpose today: serve Fuh...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The truth. One word with enormous power: power great enough to bring down corporations, careers, and yes, even dictators. Donald John Trump has never told the truth once in his life, but he understands its power and fears the truth more than anything else in the world. Over the last 10 years, I read thousands of articles about Trump and his life of crime and debauchery. I learned that the crimes committed by Trump are numerous, vile, and of such great magnitude he should have been prosecuted 40 years ago and residing in a 6X8 foot cell today. His most disgusting crimes against humanity involve his 15-year relationship with a now deceased and convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. At one point, Epstein called Trump “his best friend.” It is fair to say that their only interest was a shared desire to find pleasure with the company of beautiful women, and the younger the better. There are limited records, but one speaks volumes. Trump was a passenger on Epstein’s pri...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What Trump is, is not news. He is your illegitimate president, having won two “rigged” elections. He is the leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America. He staged a fake assassination attempt to improve his declining approval ratings. Trump is destroying our nation piece by piece. He is a confirmed sexual predator and undoubtedly a pedophile. What Trump is not is intelligent, or a man who cares about the 340 million people he was illegitimately elected to serve. However, two recent illegal and immoral actions by the orange buffoon are really pissing me off. My wife and I often discuss one of America’s greatest failures. Unlike Europe and Asia, our country’s greediest men and women are constantly destroying everything old instead of renovating some of our most beautiful architectural creations of the 18 th and 19 th centuries. Newer is not always better. Fortunately, every city and town in America declares the original area of their communities historical sights...

  Earlier in the week, Trump and his Nazi Party claimed their first success in four years and nine months. If you believed this action of another fake claim by your useless and illegitimate president, you are a fool. Trump claimed that a peace agreement between Netanyahu’s racist government and the terrorist group, Hamas, had been accomplished. The primary American negotiator was Trump’s worthless and disgraced son-in-law, Jared Kushner. I never believed any part of this manufactured story for a couple of valid reasons. First and foremost, the United States has a policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorists. The same is true on the other side. Terrorists are primarily religious extremists who distort facts and the teachings of legitimate religious leaders. Their distorted beliefs are of greater value than their lives on this planet. Second, Netanyahu and Trump share a similar obsession. They hate certain races and are involved in efforts defined as “ethnic cleansing.” Trump hate...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every day, in many ways, Trump proves that he is a fascist, self-centered dictator. Let’s take a quick look at real life, the lives of most Americans, known as the “working class.” In any state, town, or township, if you purchase a residence or business in an historical district, there are many rules and regulations preventing the destruction of our nation’s heritage. Any effort to remodel or refurbish an older building must be approved by what is usually called the “preservation committee.” Nothing can begin, no demolition, and no construction, until it is approved by the committee. Six corrupt Supreme Court justices granted Trump absolute immunity and therefore permission to become a king, dictator, Fuhrer, or anything else which defines an autocrat. We no longer need a Supreme Court. They have become the enemies of the people. Trump made a unilateral decision to build a “ballroom” in the East Wing of the White House. Someone needs to inform the fat, old...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump nominated Paul Ingrassia to head the Office of Special Counsel. This was intended to be a “watchdog” agency, but when Trump places one of his like-minded cronies into any position in his administration, their purpose is to rubber stamp his fascist agenda. After members of both parties railed against Ingrassia’s open racism and his own admission that he has a “Nazi streak,” knowing he would not be confirmed, Ingrassia withdrew from his nomination. Democratic leaders expressed their concerns in a letter. "Mr. Ingrassia’s loyalty to Donald Trump over the Constitution, his calls for imposing martial law and celebrating violent January 6th insurrectionists, and his close associations with antisemitic extremists all make it clear that he lacks the temperament, experience, and fundamental constitutional fidelity required to lead this office," Reps. Robert Garcia (D-CA) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD) wrote in the letter. "He is not simply unqualified—his c...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The facts about Trump’s past are very sketchy. In 2018, he had his academic records sealed and nothing about his younger years is public knowledge with the exception of a few situations. Included is  the fact that his father paid for his deferrments, preventing his son from serving in the war in Vietnam. However, his constituents within New York’s world of big business offered volumes in just a few words. Some of the words used were “idiot,” “crooked,” “unscrupulous,” “lecherous,” and “immoral.” It was no secret that Trump was willing to lie, cheat on his taxes, refused to pay contractors, and bribed public officials frequently. If all that is true, the question becomes, “why was the orange buffoon never prosecuted for a single crime until 2024?” The truth is clear to any American citizen who chooses to be informed. Trump has become America’s first dictator. He did not accomplish his personal ambition alone. He was given “absolute immunity” and placed above ...
