Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Now everyone knows: Trump is a pedophile. Most of us who spend much of our day researching information so that you may be informed have known about his sexual deviance for at least 10 years. In 2016, just two months before the election, in a tape released by Access Hollywood, Trump admitted that he was a sexual deviant. His own words revealed his opinions about all women. He openly admitted that he believes women have only one purpose. He committed adultery multiple times while married to three wives. Over a period of about 15 years, he spent most of his time with his “bestie,” Jeffrey Epstein. It is no longer a secret that he made multiple trips to Epstein’s private island on his private jet. There are videos of the two degenerates partying at Mar-a-Lago. Although the mainstream media hides the information to protect their Fuhrer, there are records of when one 12-year-old girl filed a rape complaint against your illegitimate president. It was dropped and settle...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Pictures on the internet of Republicans celebrating the end of the longest government shutdown in history yesterday, made me both sick and angry. These old, ignorant, insipid, and hypocritical mostly white men, are far dumber than I thought. The shutdown was completely unnecessary and the only reason it happens every couple of years is because they want to play political games. You cannot celebrate a disaster you caused. The ”shutdown” is another first for the American government. No other nation in the world allows something like this to happen. The truth is, all three branches of Trump’s government were enjoying themselves. They continued to receive fullJ pay and benefits while the men and women who actually work on Capitol Hill were struggling to pay their rent or mortgage. Speaker Mike Johnson allowed the members of his House to take a 43 day vacation. His refusal to convene the House was based on his worship of demagogue Donald Trump whose fear of being exp...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Answer this question for me: “why do political parties exist?” The only answer I have is to encourage hard-working men and women to donate money they cannot afford to waste, hoping to elect a man or woman they likely know nothing about. Voting is a right, not a privilege. However, with any right comes responsibility. It is our duty to know the position on the issues supported by every man or woman seeking our precious votes. Most voters fail this responsibility. Studies have revealed that most voters vote according to what they see on television. This is moronic. All political ads during a two-year-long campaign are composed of lies and misdirection. I trust no one. Therefore, I feel an obligation to learn the truth about every candidate. I am an Independent, and I take the right to vote very seriously. Want proof that Independent voters are the only ones who cherish the right to vote and accept the responsibilities attached to it? Look at these names: Trump, Mo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There are at least two Americas. One is composed of about 95 percent of citizens who work hard to make better lives for themselves, their children, and their grandchildren. My America is grateful for its diversity. We are a nation of immigrants. We are not perfect, but most try to be. We never ask for much, and we usually get less. The other America is occupied by men and women who came into great wealth at birth. Some obtained great wealth when offered “once in a lifetime opportunities” not available to the majority. As a small child, I never knew that I was poor. I remember my childhood as “great.” I didn’t have money in my pockets, I had “treasures” which were worth little or nothing but had meaning for me. I look back on my younger years and have mostly fond memories, although I understood the struggle my mother faced every day, worrying that her children might not have enough to eat. We always did, somehow. Trump and his oligarchs never faced “worry.” Their...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Change is mostly good, as long as it moves a nation forward and increases the quality of life for all people. However, Trump and his administration are regressive, and what they are doing to America is criminal and in direct opposition to the intent of the Constitution. As you well know, I constantly criticize Trump, and make jokes about him. The truth is, he deserves it. He was a terrible man in 2016, but in 2025, he has become the worst person on the planet. I consider myself a patriot, strongly believing in the words of satirist and comedian, Mark Twain. "Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it". Over the last 45 years, it has been rare for our government to receive any praise for its actions, and has become deserving of its condemnation for its failure to do the right thing. As I child in the 1950’s and 1960’s, I imagined our government as a group of men who spent their days attempting to find ways to improve ou...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You must remember the facts. President Biden’s stimulus checks rescued thousands of jobs and hundreds of small businesses, as well as our nation’s future economy from the constant failures of Donald John Trump.   Now, in 2025, I have no doubt that Trump would have preferred to extend the longest government shutdown in history until January 20, 2029. He is desperate to prevent the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s personal files. However, when Congress is fully in session, the pressure to release these documents will increase once again. Personally, I do not need additional proof that Trump must add “pedophile” to his list of vile and depraved “accomplishments.” Best friends for years, traveled on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times, seen partying together at Mar-a-Lago with multiple young women, and these two old, lechers as the only male guests, and an allegation by a 12-year-old girl that Trump raped her, all confirm what I already knew from my years of ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s not the first time. After all, Trump is the oldest, most obese, white man to ever be illegitimately elected to the highest office in our country. He has been seen dozing off at multiple events, including his own criminal trial. However, a few days ago, after announcing a decrease in the price of weight loss drugs, very important, while his HHS Secretary, Robert Kennedy Jr. began his own speech, it was obvious that he fell asleep in front of cameras from most of the world’s nations. Trump, then only a few years younger than the President, constantly made an issue of Mr. Biden’s age. Now, halfway to becoming an octogenarian on June 14, 2026, he is confirming my allegation that at the age of 80, or a few years younger, no man or woman can possibly lead a nation whose average age is 38.4 years. If Trump was 60, he would still be too old and totally unfit to hold any public office. He has been inflicted with malignant narcissism since he was a young man. In fact...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has pardoned some of the greatest criminals in modern history. Why not? The Supreme Court pardoned the orange buffoon for acts of treason on January 6, 2021, and violating the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021. One important fact is confirmed by his dangerous actions: Trump’s administration is indeed the Washington Mafia 2.0. I know that history will remember January 6, 2021 as the darkest day in American history. A sitting president spoke to his Nazi supporters just outside of the White House. He ordered them to march to the Capitol Building and prevent the certification of the Electoral College vote. The insurrection had been planned and organized over several weeks during meetings at the Willard Hotel. The events which followed resulted in a violent invasion on Capitol Hill as Trump’s mob searched the Capitol for Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence. Their orders were to hang them just outside of the Building. However, that was a minor offense compared to the fa...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is an irrefutable fact that Trump is the Definition of the mental disease, malignant narcissism. When he receives undeserved praise and worship from his cult, and his ego is satisfied, the old man is less likely to slip into one of his infamous fits filled with rage and violence. Ten years of studying the worst man in the world has convinced me that with his position as your illegitimate president, one man’s huge ego is in complete control of our planet’s future. 10 months into his second controversial presidency, he has once again accomplished nothing of value. He gave additional tax cuts to his 902 oligarchs, continues to take revenge on his enemies, and is currently destroying our nation’s most sacred building, the people’s White House. Trump’s little brain is fragile. It is very apparent that he not only suffers from malignant narcissism, he is in the middle stages of dementia. This makes him an even greater danger to the safety of the world. My question ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is THE Schoolyard Bully. He threatens anyone who doesn’t agree with him and then, in typical cowardly fashion,  instructs his minions to fight for him. Trump’s lackies include his Nazi Party, and six corrupt members of the Supreme Court. Yesterday, the Senate met once again to find a way to end what should never have happened in the first place, the longest partial government shutdown in history. Until yesterday, Democrats refused to negotiate until millions of Americans would have their healthcare protected and not experience a huge increase. However, yesterday, eight Democrats surrendered to the Nazis in Washington and ignored the needs and wishes of the American people. I have not and never will be member of any political party. In general, politicians all too often ignore what is right and place future elections ahead of all 340 million people. I am ashamed to say that two of the gang of eight are Senators from my state: Nevada. Catherine Cortez Ma...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nothing confirms the failures of the Democratic Party more than what happened in our nation’s Capital on Monday. The wishes of the people were once again ignored by Democrats who refer to themselves as moderates. A better word is “cowards.” Not since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has a president and his administration placed the future of the majority ahead of the success and profits of the super-rich. All true Americans demand resistance to Donny Dictator’s attempts to destroy the fabric of America. However, a large number of Democratic politicians refuse to listen to the people. Their fear of losing elections far surpasses demands which would require them to do the right thing for all Americans. Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and other member of the “old guard” have been entirely out of touch with the American people for years. I live in Northern Nevada. My wife and I supported our two Senators, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Jacki Rosen, until this year. They have surr...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I continue to report the fact about how much I despise Trump for destroying the entire East Wing of the White House. It may mean nothing to you, but for me, a true patriot who grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s it is a symbol for everything good in America. Rich Americans are infamous for their destruction of “what is old,” and creating ugly and foreboding new structures. The destruction of the people’s most sacred home, and most historic structure, which formerly represented two and one-half centuries of American history and tradition, is now nothing but a memory. Trump’s moronic ballroom has never been a consideration for 249 years. However, now that an old, crude and tasteless dictator has been allowed to defile our White House, he is destroying everything good about our nation, replacing it with efforts to eliminate the very fabric of our the United States of America. I am a 79-year-old man who resisted hatred for all of my life until 10 years ago. Trump has f...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It doesn’t take a genius to look at Trump’s cabinet and closest advisers and realize that not one of these men and women are qualified to hold a position in our federal government. Among this group of incompetents are at least seven billionaires, at least one radical dangerous to our nation’s overall health, failed politicians, the wife of a professional wrestling promoter who taught him how to fake an attempted assassination. Your illegitimate president and vice-president are completely unfit to hold office at any level of government. They are the original “dumb and dumber.” Let’s be honest: America was founded on altruistic ideals and principles. However, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Monroe, Madison, and the others, underestimated the power of certain vices and the weakness of mankind, most significantly a desire for power and great wealth. Trump’s second administration is 100 times worse than the first. Trump and his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin, full...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The main reasons I disrespect and even hate Donald Trump, his party, and the mainstream media is the fact they are pathological liars. “IT IS A TRUE saying that a LIE travels faster than the TRUTH. Why? Because the TRUTH never has to travel. The TRUTH was here before the lie began, and will be here long after the lie fades away. The TRUTH always outlasts the LIE... so always stand on the TRUTH.” Anonymous For the mainstream media, their crimes are the worst. They practice lies of omission, the most dangerous of all. Nine and one-half years ago I became a septuagenarian. My insurance company began raising my premiums and lowering coverage. I had seen the ads from USAA on television. I enlisted in the USAF after high school in 1964. My father served our country in the United States Navy during WWII. However, when I decided to sign up, I was told that I did not qualify. This was surprising. Their television commercials guaranteed coverage in situations like mine. I...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here’s the latest from the biggest liar in world history. Trump says that he will authorize $2,000.00 checks to all working-class Americans. However, one of his top aides reports the facts, the truth. You and I will not receive “checks.” His form of aid for the majority. His “gift,” will be in the form of “tax breaks.” He knows that one-half of all Americans pay little or no taxes. We are in the “low-income,” or “poverty” brackets in our nation’s economy. We will continue to struggle every time we go to the grocery store. Trump lies and brags about everything, which is nothing. The problem for him is the fact that everything he “accomplishes” harms the majority and increases the outrageous wealth of his oligarchs. Want proof? Look at Trump’s reason for his “gift.” [Donald Trump has vowed to pay a $2,000 (£1,520) “tariff dividend” to American households in a radical stimulus package that could trigger a stock market boom.] Only the wealthiest Americans are heavil...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Adolf Hitler gained complete control over Germany in 1933. His efforts to take control of every news agency had become a reality. Without exception, all “news” originated from his Nazi administration. With Trump and his 902 oligarchs established absolute control over our nation’s government, the most dangerous result changed America’s future forever. All major news agencies, the mainstream media, are owned by billionaires loyal to Fuhrer Donald Trump. With the orange buffoon’s illegitimate election, the Fourth Estate ceased to exist. In 1789, the organizations charged with keeping our nation’s people informed, were given First Amendment protection with the expectation they would expose corruption and criminal activity in our nation’s Capital. That was then, this is now. Not a single member of today’s mainstream media has the courage or patriotism to report the facts as they are in Washington today. They have joined Trump, his House and Senate, and six members of...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every four years American voters choose our president. At least that’s what the media and politicians would like you to believe. The truth is, states choose the man or woman who will lead our country, and that will remain a fact as long as the unconstitutional Electoral College exists. That’s not what this article is all about. The first presidential election I remember was in 1956 when Dwight D. Eisenhower won a second term. I was 10 years old. Richard Nixon did not sign into law the right for 18-year-olds to vote until 1971. I was 22 in 1968 when I was eligible to vote in my first general election. I was a senior in high school when the only great president in modern history was murdered in Dallas on November 22, 1963. In 1968 I was excited. I strongly supported Robert Kennedy. However on a summer’s day in Los Angeles he was taken from us by a man named Sirhan Sirhan. I couldn’t believe that our country had lost two of the greatest men in our country’s history...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Born in July of 1946, it is obvious that I am an original baby boomer. My father was discharged from the United States Navy in Seattle Washington in 1945. He met my mother, who had been working for Boeing during the war. They married in July, and less than a year later I took my first breaths. I was too young to know much about the Korean Conflict. Most of what I learned about it came from the popular television show, “MASH.” The first war I remember was Vietnam. I graduated from high school in 1964 and enlisted in the USAF. I couldn’t afford college, and the recruiter promised me that the Air Force would train me well. He lied. However, I feel a small amount of gratitude. After I was out of tech school in Mississippi, the war in Vietnam rapidly escalated. I might have died for nothing on a battlefield halfway around the world. I was medically discharged in 1965. I watched the news as the body bags began to arrive from Southeast Asia. I learned that some of the ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The word is “tariffs.” Few people understand them, and the definition is incomplete. “A tariff is a form of tax imposed on imported goods or services. Tariffs are a common element in international trade The primary reasons for imposing tariffs include (1) the reduction in the importation of goods and services by increasing their prices and (2) the protection of domestic producers.” The last time a President of the United States applied tariffs to all imported commodities was after the Stock Market crashed, and the economy nosedived and the Great Depression began in 1930. Herbert Hoover was warned about the dangers of such a drastic decision, but he refused to listen to more than 1,000 respected economists. As expected, Hoover’s actions negatively affected the world’s economy. Trump inherited an economy in full recovery. Biden was the most successful president since Bill Clinton with the establishment of a fiscal policy which proves to be beneficial for everyone....

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Today, six members of the Supreme Court of the United States are right-wing extremists who support the fascist policies of their Fuhrer, Donald John Trump. Our Founding Fathers were not perfect: they made many mistakes. These mistakes were the result of their mistaken belief that their successors would improve what they began. They underestimated the faults of mortal men and their desires for money and power. The only reason for giving Supreme Court Justices lifetime appointments was to prevent them from becoming politicized. They believed that if they were not required to run for reelection, they would remain impartial. They were greatly mistaken, as we can all testify to today. America’s government is a system of checks and balances. The three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, were given ‘separate but equal powers.’ However, in 2025 the executive and judicial branches are abusing their powers, while the legislative branch is doing nothing, with t...
