Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Another of Trump’s constant lies during the 2024 campaign is that his immigration policy would “only detain and deport undocumented immigrants who were criminals, including drug traffickers and rapists.” No surprise: he lied. Trump’s personal Gestapo, ICE, continues to kidnap and incarcerate anyone who is non-white, including citizens and others who have legal, temporary residence in the United States. There are multiple accounts when ICE has beaten, terrorized, and detained innocent men, women, and children. More recently it has murdered one woman in Minneapolis and mortally wounded a man and woman in Portland. These mostly poorly educated, white men wearing masks to hide their identity, claim to be law enforcement, when in reality they are Nazis, eager to cause harm and inflict pain on all non-whites, non-Christians, all women, the LGBTQ community, and anyone who resists their criminal and immoral actions. On Sunday, thousands of patriotic Americans in Minneap...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has broken every rule, every law, and every custom related to our 47 presidents. One frequently overlooked situation is of little importance, or at least it was until Jeff Bezos placed a big, fat kiss on Trump’s humongous derriere. He funded a movie about Melania. First of all, Melania is not a traditional First Lady. She is nothing more than a trophy wife, his third, and therefore his “First Trophy Wife.” She came to this country as a model, possessing a work visa. Trump was currently unencumbered, without a relationship with only one, woman. So he added another attractive woman to his trophy wall. Like her husband, she has no value to society. In 2018, she announced her personal project. She called it, “Be Best.” It was described as a program designed to protect the rights and care for the needs of neglected and underprivileged children. However, there was no effort on her or her husband’s part. My point is simple. I have experienced 47 presidents and th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump never has been and never will be an American President. He is a fascist dictator. The truth is, he never wanted to have a ‘real job.’ He knows nothing about leadership or government, and has never shown any indication that he is willing to learn how to work, and never for the benefit of others. However, after his rigged victory on November 8, 2016, he saw an opportunity to increase his personal wealth, and he did, by 3.7 billion dollars over four, long years. Vladimir Putin recognized the reality that he would have his greatest asset in a position of power. His lifelong dream of destroying America would be sitting behind the Resolute desk. In 2026, Trump is moving full speed ahead in his efforts to create chaos and end the dream of our Founding Fathers. I will say it again: Trump remains an immature, spoiled child, who is and always was the schoolyard bully. Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t read; or maybe he can’t. If he had read “Being a President for ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is highly likely that I have written at least one article about every evil act committed by Trump, his Fascist Party, and his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Much of the damage caused by Trump and his Nazi supporters is irreparable, at least for several decades in the future. I hate Trump and what has become the American Nazi Party. I never use that word. However, Trump has earned its use by me and any loyal and patriotic American. The underlying truth is undeniable. Everything which is happening to our country from the most corrupt politicians in history is farcical. None of it is real, and all of it proves that evil is real, and if there was a “God,” He or She is definitely dead. The following is a short list of what is real and what is not. A real President of the United States follows the rules contained in the Constitution. Trump violates his oath of office, to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, fo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have known about ‘the real Donald Trump’ since 2015 when I began writing about the failed businessman. However, I, and no other political writer could have foreseen how horrific his illegitimate presidencies have become. The mainstream media won’t tell the absolute truth, but I will. Trump is a fascist, a Hitler wannabe, and the leader of the American Nazi Party. Thanks to six corrupt Supreme Court Justices, he has become a dictator. Placing him above the law and granting him powers not intended by our Founding Fathers allows him to ignore his responsibilities as a sitting president and use his position for personal gain and revenge on his millions of enemies. Trump has absolute control over actions by the executive, judicial, and legislative branches of our government. What disappoints and frightens me the most is how the Pentagon surrendered to a fascist who is a draft dodger and once called American soldiers buried in France after WWI “losers and suckers.” ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart First, the big lie about Social Security. Republicans call the program an entitlement. Social Security was originally funded entirely by employers and employees, no taxpayer money was used. However, corrupt politicians have attached additional programs to this retirement fund, and the only reason it may become bankrupt in the near future. [A fter its 1935 origin, the Social Security Act expanded significantly, adding critical programs like Medicare and Medicaid (health insurance for elderly/poor), the federalized Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for needy aged, blind, and disabled, and expanding child welfare and public health grants to states, forming a broader social safety net beyond just retirement. Key additions also included Unemployment Insurance, Disability benefits (within OASDI), and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). Key Expansions & Additions: 1930s-1940s (Original Act & Early Amendments): Unemployment Insurance: A national pro...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Unlike the mainstream media, I refuse to tiptoe around the edges of the truth. I will always jump right into the middle and tell you what’s really happening in Washington. Whatever country in which I live today, it is not the United States of America. In just one year Trump has destroyed the ideals, principles, and the reputation of a nation which was once the most respected in the world. Trump intentionally creates chaos, fear, and anger throughout the world every day. He is the worst and most hated man in modern history. Inside America, the statement made by former FBI Director, Christopher Wray, that ‘domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people,’ has become a reality. What he did not predict is the fact that the leader of domestic violence in America has become the old, obese man violating our White House today. His personal Gestapo is a poorly trained group of thugs, villains, and Nazis posing as “law enforcement officers.” ICE is perfor...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I despise and attempt to eliminate from my life emotions of anger and hatred. I reject all forms of violence including the death penalty, and all wars and invasions. Anger is a waste of time, hate is almost always based on ignorance. Killing another human being is playing God.. There are rare exceptions to hatred, and there is no better example than Donald John Trump. Trump’s entire 325-350 pounds are composed of hatred. He, his administration, his political party composed of Nazis, and all broadcast television networks claiming to be “conservative,” but are in fact propaganda machines for right-wing extremists, constantly spread hatred which eventually breeds violence. His deliberate effort to destroy our nation from within is the reason every true American learned to accept hatred for the orange buffoon. As I grew into adulthood in the 1960’s, I paid more attention to what was happening in Washington. I wasn’t shocked, but I was a little surprised about the an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart We’re a little slow, but when the situation becomes unbearable, the American people eventually stand up and say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore.” It’s time for ICE to be disbanded. Trump’s personal Gestapo is composed of villains and thugs. The level of violence from this group of less than humans, is escalating rapidly. When Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE agents in Minneapolis, the Trump administration began telling outrageous lies in an effort to cover-up the truth. However, eyewitness accounts combined with two videos don’t lie. This was an act of first-degree murder committed by a group of Nazis. On Thursday, two additional innocent American citizens were shot by Trump’s Gestapo in Portland. After the man and woman were rushed to a hospital, their condition unknown, Portland city council member, Sameer Kanal, had this to say.  “You are hearing and you are seeing attempts to justify the unjustifiable, to completely defend the in...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I grew up in Los Angeles. I was raised by a single mother. My brother and I never knew that we were poor. We were happy and had everything we needed. Our only form of entertainment came from television or Saturdays at the local movie theater. Movies composed a large percentage of our pleasure when we were not at the beach or playing sports. All movies fit into categories which include love stories, comedies, action films, dramas based on real events or from novels, and stories based on the actual lives of real people. Therefore, when I was watching Amazon Prime a few days ago, and a promotion describing an upcoming documentary about Melania Trump appeared on the screen, I laughed so hard I began to cough. Melania Trump is the old, orange buffoon’s most recent trophy wife. It is impossible to find a single accomplishment in her life other than marrying a wannabe billionaire who allowed her to remain in America and eventually become another immigrant who was given...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Thugs, villains, criminals, racists, bigots, Nazis: these terms clearly define the men who compose Trump’s personal Gestapo known as ICE. What happened in Minneapolis to 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was bound to happen. ICE has been escalating its acts of violence over the last 12 months. As a group, they continue to demonstrate a total lack of respect for human life. Like all schoolyard bullies, Trump is using ICE to commit crimes against humanity in his name. Trump and his woefully unqualified Director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, are lying to cover-up what is clearly an act of murder. They claim that this mother of three was attempting to drive her vehicle into members of Trump’s Gestapo. This vile event happened in a residential neighborhood, and the following is an eyewitness account. [A witness to the shooting told CNN her "life is forever changed" after what happened. Emily Heller recounted how she was in the middle of making breakfast wh...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It has become personal. I trusted in the thousands of respected economists who warned us about the idiocy and probable collapse of our nation’s economy if Trump refused to listen and placed tariffs on nearly every nation in the world. Yesterday my wife and I experienced additional proof that your illegitimate president is mentally challenged and is now a complete moron. Our grocery bills have risen since last January. Yesterday my bride picked up a prescription, one she has taken for several years. The last time she had it refilled, the cost was about $50.00. Yesterday, it was over $100.00. The fact that Trump continues to have a single supporter worries me. Has the average intelligence of our nation dropped far below the norm? Has common sense become a thing of the past? Trump has never possessed an intellect which I would describe as “average.” However, as he nears the age of 80, when most men are wise enough to stay home and keep their opinions to themselves,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The proof is before us every minute of every day, on the boob tube and on the internet. The worst man in the world is following the path of his idol and causing enormous harm to billions of people to satisfy his own ungodly needs. Trump is proof that “money is the root of all evil.” Nothing else, not sexual desire, or a desire to have all the latest “toys” comes close to the need to accumulate outrageous wealth. That was the easy part of this story. The mainstream media has enjoyed increased profits over the last 10 years as they focused their cameras on Trump incessantly. Sensationalism increases viewership, and therefore advertising revenue. They have no interest in the truth, only how much money they receive. Every major news network is owned by one of Trump’s oligarchs. The Fourth Estate began its rapid demise in June of 2015 when Trump rode down the escalators and declared his plan to destroy America from the inside out. Thanks to a cowardly and hypocritica...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart My wife and I were retired on January 6, 2021. We were watching television when the broadcast was interrupted with an announcement of “BREAKING NEWS.” The next thing we saw was a hastily constructed wooden structure but no one was standing on it. A couple of minutes later we saw the humongous ass of your illegitimate president struggling to walk up two stairs and stand behind a microphone. Thus began the “big lie,” and the darkest day in American history. Trump addressed a small number of his cult’s members. We later learned that an even larger number were already outside of the Capitol building. First, he told the big lie, although every court in the land, including his own, stacked Supreme Court threw out the cases before them, claiming that he had won the November 2020 election. Then he ordered them to march to the Capitol and prevent the certification of the Electoral College vote. Although this is a requirement contained in the Constitution, the old, obese ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 2025 was a very, very long year. Some of you may have forgotten that Trump’s attacks on America began with efforts to punish minorities and the poor for not being rich and white. Diversity, equity, and inclusion, known as DEI, is a purely American ideal. If we are all equal under the law, and share the same Constitutional and Human rights, it simply makes sense. However, Trump is a Nazi. His fascist policies, contained in the right-wing’s fascist manifesto, Project 2025, claim that all non-whites, and all ethnicities not originating from Western Europe are inferior, and therefore not protected by the Constitution. It’s commonly called “white supremacy,” and Trump is its leader. The United States District Attorney, and the Department of Justice, including the FBI, are intended to be separate from the executive branch. However, Pam Bonie and her DOJ take their orders directly from the orange buffoon. Tood Blanche, Deputy District Attorney, and another Trump stooge...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America has been guilty of Imperialism for most of its 249 years. We “stick our noses” into situations in other countries and make the conditions worse. Imperialism: “a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force.” In my 79 years, a relatively short period of time in the history of the world, I have witnessed American imperialism in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Afghanistan may be the worst example of the ignorance of an American president and his administration in history. George W. Bush ordered an attack inside Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. He told the American people that our intelligence agencies had located the architect of the attacks on 9/11 in a country with a long history of wars, and harboring criminals. Bin Laden was located in a cave located in the Tora Bora area of Afghanistan. However, when Bush learned that the actual area where bin Laden was located was in Pakistan, he ended...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart War Crimes can be added to Trump’s dark and dismal resume. He is not alone. Our military brass, those who hide in the Pentagon, are complicit with the worst man in the world. Beginning in his early days, Trump revealed his worship of Adolf Hitler. Several friends of his first wife, Ivana, were told that he read Hitler’s speeches every evening before going to sleep. Today, the fifth day of a new, and possibly last year of life on planet earth, Trump has begun his own fascist plan for world domination. His efforts have been sanctioned by his own party, the Supreme Court, and the Pentagon. He also has a partner in his vile plans, his mentor, Vladimir Putin. The United Nations Security Council is currently in session to discuss Trump’s latest crimes against humanity, and international law. The UN chief António Guterres told ambassadors there must be respect for national sovereignty, “political independence and territorial integrity,” after warning on Saturday that t...

   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If the American people have learned anything about their illegitimate president, there are two facts which stand above all others. He will do anything to prevent the exposure of his penchant for pedophilia, and the fact that his book, “The Art of the Deal,” was nothing more than a fairy tale. Trump is a lifelong schoolyard bully. All bullies are cowards and use others to fight their battles. Trump is using the incompetent men and women in the Pentagon to redirect attention from the facts contained in the Epstein files and place focus on his war crimes. What happened off the coast of Venezuela and Nigeria are nothing but acts of premeditated murder. Most American presidents attempt diplomatic discussion prior to military action. Trump lacks any ability to communicate and therefore any talent for honest and meaningful negotiation. With another Constitutional violation, Trump began military action against a sovereign nation, Venezuela, alleged M...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like your illegitimate president, I will be 80 years old this year if I live for another six months. Unlike Trump, I have grown. I learned from both my accomplishments and my mistakes. I recognized how the little changes in my life made a big difference and why I am the man I am today. My life has been filled with good times and bad. I did my best, but that was not always good enough. I never gave up, and as I enter the last chapter of my life on earth, I am satisfied that I did the best I could. I learned that no one is perfect. Trump and I may be the same age, chronologically, but he and I are extremely different, and only one of us has accomplished anything of value in his life. Trump clearly made a choice in his early teens that he would pursue a life of pleasure, rejecting a path which might have accomplished something of importance; something of value. Simply put, he refused to reach maturity. This is sad because he was born into extreme white ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “I love wars, even the nuclear kind.” This was a statement made by your illegitimate president during the 2016 campaign. As the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s personal documents grew near, Trump began attempts to redirect the expected proof that he is a pedophile, and create fear within our nation’s people. He wants a war more than anything else he can imagine. Only another illegal war, created by a Republican president, could force the people to redirect their focus. In collusion with the Pentagon, Trump began ordering the murders of passengers in power boats off the coast of Venezuela. He claimed they were transporting illicit drugs but had no proof. That was just the beginning. The truth is, these actions are war crimes, and our military leaders are guilty for their violations of the UCMJ, the Universal Code of Military Justice. He is now threatening an invasion of Iran. Protesters are filling the streets, blaming their government for a failing economy resultin...
