  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Is it a war, or not a war? More importantly, is it Trump’s war or America’s war? Nowhere in American law is there a definition of “war.” However, the invasion of Iran can be defined, and to the average American, Trump’s unilateral decision to invade Iran was a declaration of war. Republicans on Capitol Hill refuse to call his decision an act of war. If it is a war, Trump must be impeached. This is a clear violation of the Constitution which reserves the right to declare war to Congress. If it isn’t a war, and Trump is wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, he must repay all 340 million Americans for his singular decision to attack a sovereign nation without provocation. It appears that the American people could take part in the biggest class action lawsuit in history. TRUMP MUST PAY FOR HIS BAD DECISIONS, DECISIONS WHICh ADVERSELY AFFECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE For the American people, inflation, or “Greedflation,” is escalating rapidly. Ga...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s invasion of Iran is both illegal and immoral. Most Americans oppose another unwinnable war in the Middle East. Trump made a unilateral decision to attack Iran based on lies and misinformation. The Constitution means nothing to Trump: only Congress can declare war. This war has already claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Iranian civilians—including 200 children—and 13 U.S. service members. This reckless and immoral war, which has driven gasoline prices up roughly a third to an average of $3.98 in the United States, cost $11.3 billion in the first six days alone. As of today, Trump has wasted more than 25 billion dollars of taxpayer money in an attempt to annihilate every Muslim in the nation of Iran. ONCE AGAIN, TRUMP HAS NO PLAN TO END THE ATTACKS ON IRAN: HE IS ABOUT TO PUT “BOOTS ON THE GROUND” Trump is completely incompetent. He has no idea what he is doing and no plan for how long his deadly attacks will continue. Make no mistake about the facts. Th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has accomplished many firsts. However, none of them are beneficial for the people of our country. The truth is, Trump is not a man, and possibly inhuman. He is the Antichrist risen straight from hell to destroy the once ‘most respected nation in the world.’He enjoys murdering innocent people and inflicting pain on anyone in our nation who remains loyal to their country and the Constitution. Yesterday, March 28, 2026, one of the largest protests in our nation’s history  took place in all 50 states and in every Congressional District. However, the “No Kings” protests were not exclusive to America. There were protests around the world. Men, women, and children carried signs with “Dump Trump” written on them as they marched in the streets wherever they lived. I HAVE BEEN CRITICIZED FOR COMPARING TRUMP TO HITLER: I HAVE BEEN VINDICATED MANY TIMES Trump’s first trophy wife, Ivana, told her friends that her husband read Adolf Hitler’s speeches every night bef...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Joe Lombardo is the current Governor of Nevada. He is unfit for office and another Trump sycophant. He is up for reelection in November and has been placing expensive and fallacious ads on television, paid for by Trump’s oligarchs. He lied about his “accomplishments” in healthcare and reducing the cost of single family homes and apartment rentals. He is now doing the same about education in the Silver State. NEVADA HAS SOME OF THE WORST SCHOOLS IN THE NATION Fact: “Nevada ranks as the second least educated state in America.” Most jobs in Nevada are minimum wage or slightly higher, and those jobs do not require more than a high school diploma. Education has seldom been a priority for most of our state’s leaders. It is no secret that Las Vegas is our most populated city. It is also no secret that the University of Nevada at Las Vegas is one of the most poorly rated institutions of higher learning in the nation. The University of Nevada-Reno is a more respected ins...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every child in America has been told at least once that ‘he or she could grow up and become the President of the United States. I never believed that, but I must admit that at the age of 79, I now know this was the truth. Defiling the people’s White House today is an old, obese man who fails to possess a single quality or ability which would make him eligible to wear the title of President. However, this evil and deranged man offers irrefutable proof that anyone can become president in America. WHAT YOU DON’T NEED TO BECOME THE LEADER OF 340 MILLION PEOPLE Trump lacks average intelligence, he is poorly educated, and, although he pretended to be your president for four years between 2017 and 2021, he remains inexperienced and lacks the knowledge to perform the duties of an American president. His policies mimic those of a third-world dictator. Over the last 10+ years we learned the truth about the “real Donald Trump.” Trump’s life story is a tale about failure an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Last Monday, a poll revealed that Trump’s approval rating dropped to 36 percent; the lowest for a second term president in modern history. As Trump’s War against Iran continues, and gas prices escalate, his very low numbers are expected to continue on a downward spiral. WHAT HAS TRUMP ACCOMPLISHED? All politicians make promises they know they’ll never keep. However, when the promises come from the man or woman the states choose to lead our nation, we pay attention. Trump promised to end inflation, more accurately known as “Greedflation,” on day one. He also promised to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine immediately, During his many hate rallies, he promised to end military conflicts around the world and prevent America from becoming involved in another unwinnable war. In January 2025, Trump and his campaign financier, Elon Musk, began taking revenge on anyone who disagreed with the orange buffoon’s fascist plans for America. Thousands of men and women who actually...

    Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart America is broke. The National Treasury just declared the United States “insolvent.” It’s a simple word which when used to describe a nation’s economic status, it is devastating. What does it mean to be insolvent? 1: having ceased paying or unable to pay debts as they fall due in the usual course of business compare bankrupt. 2. : having liabilities in excess of a reasonable market value of assets held. If you have been following Trump’s wasteful and moronic spending, you are not surprised. In 2025, Trump added more than four trillion dollars to the national debt while reducing taxes for the super-rich. HOW BAD IS IT? My wife and I carefully manage our finances every month. We are retired, on a fixed income, and that fact combined with Greedflation and Trump’s ill-advised tariffs, make our very existence difficult to say the least. To survive, every country must do the same thing. However, when your leaders in Washington are as corru...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s the truth: Trump has no friends. He is the least likable person I have ever witnessed in front of a television camera. He is surrounded by dozens of men and women who are using him, hoping to achieve their own ambitions. You might have noticed that even Jared and Ivanka have kept their distance from the old, obese braggart over the last 14 months. After being “run out” of New York City and his garish and tasteless home in Trump Tower, he ran to South Florida and his pretentious millionaires and billionaires’ playpen, Mar-a-Lago. Although he and his oligarchs appear friendly to the uninformed, these super-rich men and women are using him to increase their personal wealth by avoiding paying their fair share of taxes. Trump’s low level of intelligence and need for relevance makes him the perfect tool for Putin and others in power. WHAT DO THE PEOPLE OF PALM BEACH THINK OF THE ORANGE BUFFOON? Tuesday’s special election in Florida may offer an in...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Super-rich, professional politicians, fake Christians, the Pentagon, corrupt members of the Supreme Court, the Department of Justice, and, all law enforcement. If you are a hard-working, patriotic American, the groups previously listed are your enemies. They serve an old, fat, mentally damaged traitor, not their country, and definitely not you and me. It is a widely known fact that Trump’s only loyalty is to Donald Trump, and not to anyone else. Over the last 10+ years we have watched Trump demand complete loyalty to him, but has not offered the same to others. WHY WOULD THE ABOVE NAMED GROUPS SUPPORT TRUMP? Donald John Trump is a traitor, a sexual predator, and the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. So, if you love your country, how could you possibly support the worst man in the world? The answer is clear and undeniable. America is no longer a capitalistic society, it is a plutocracy, also known as an oligarchy. A plutocracy cannot be sustained in a na...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was just a boy growing up in West Los Angeles in the mid 1950’s. Although our mother took us to a small area near a miniature golf course several times which was occupied by small food establishments offering a vriety of “culinary delights,” including hamburgers, Chinese food, hot dogs, pizza, and other inexpensive and tasty varieties of what became known as “fast food,” none of them were well-known by anyone other than the people who lived nearby. Almost by magic, a new restaurant opened in the area. It was brightly decorated in yellow with a red roof. This one was different: you could eat inside the establishment or take food to go. A hamburger cost 15 cents, and a milkshake 20 cents. It was called McDonalds. The rest is history. THE BIG MAC AND AN OBSESSION In 1967 McDonalds introduced the “Big Mac.” It contained two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce cheese, and pickles on a sesame bun. It cost 45 cents. I cannot estimate the number o...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Throughout history, tyrannical despots have been deposed by force. Great power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, and for weak men, unavoidable. One man cannot be allowed to place his personal ambitions ahead of an entire nation. IL DUCE Benito Mussolini created the Italian Fascist Party. By April of 1945, it was apparent that his dream of re-creating his country into a modern day Rome would fail. The allies were coming, and his fate was clear. Mussolini was Adolf Hitler’s primary ally. He was unaware that the Third Reich was negotiating a complete surrender. His Nazi friend could no longer protect the ruthless dictator. On April 27, as he and his mistress attempted to escape by car, he was detained in Dongo, hidden in a small farmhouse overnight. The following day, Mussolini and Petacci were removed from the house and driven to the small village of Giulino di Mezzegra on the shores of Lake Como. They were forced to stand in front of a brick wall and executed by machi...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like his Fuhrer, Nevada Governor, Joe Lombardo, has accomplished nothing for the people of his state, while lies, claiming successes which are in reality revelations of his support for millionaires and billionaires. Last year, Lombardo approved ads placed by real estate developers falsely claiming that with the increase in availability of new homes and apartments, housing costs and rental rates would be reduced. Less than 50 percent of all Nevadans can afford a new home. A large number of newly constructed single family homes are purchased by corporations who will overcharge their renters and make huge profits. Like the rest of America, in Nevada, it’s all about profits for the super-rich. [Many Nevadans cannot comfortably afford apartment rents, with the state ranking as the second most rent-burdened in the U.S.. In 2024, nearly 58% of Nevada renter households were cost-burdened (spending >30% of income on housing), and a minimum wage worker cannot afford th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Failing to read and understand history always results in ignorance and the inability to move forward, choosing to live in the past. Every individual must learn and grow every day they remain alive. Not learning this fact produces lives without purpose, without a reason to be remembered. COUNTRIES ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN PEOPLE The United States is a very young country. When compared to the nations of Europe, Asia, and Africa, America is still a “toddler.” If you don’t like that comparison, take a little time to read the history of our nation from its birth in 1776 until today. The freedoms and rights guaranteed by the Constitution are both the reasons America was once on a path to become the “greatest nation in the world,” and why in 2026, it is the most feared and distrusted nation on the planet. I blame voters for the demise of the once most-respected country on earth.  Over the last 249 years, mostly old, white men have failed to lead our nation bravely in...

 Greedflation: less content, less quality, higher prices. All corporations are eveil, some are just greedier than others. America is a plutocracy, and the dream is dead. Op-ed by TheWieseOldFart

Fascism has returned: Trump and Putin are seeking world domination. Our nation's people and its economic future  are being destroyed by the Orange Buffoon. Fuhrer Donald Trump is the only danger to world peace in the 21st century. Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart  

Article 5 of the NATO charter is the only reason there has not been a WWIII. Putin's lifelong goal is to end NATo and then America. Trump wants to end NATO. Think about it. Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart  

I have switched to Word Press, under the headline,"The Truth With no Restriction" Please followm me, the truth still lives here Pp  

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here are a few of the promises Trump made during the 2016 and 2024 campaigns: none of which he kept. In fact, Trump 2.0 is 100 times worse than the first. PROMISES MADE, PROMISES BROKEN Trump told his supporters: “I know the best people, and I will have the most qualified administration ever.” This would be funny if his “people” were human and cared about their country. The orange buffoon promised the American people that he would get “criminals off of our streets, including rapists and murderers.” He continues to pardon the worst of the worst, including the murderous 1600 who invaded the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. “I will only detain and deport the worst criminals who are in our country illegally.” Donald John Trump. ICE is kidnapping anyone who is clearly not pure white, including American citizens. Trump swore: “on day one I will end Greedflation.” And: “on day one I will end the invasion of Ukraine.” My wife and I are spending more on groceries and...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Any American citizen who watched the horrific events on January 6, 2021, and is honest with themselves, is fully aware that Trump committed treason. He planned and organized the insurrection at the Willard Hotel in D.C., and executed the violent attacks while standing just outside of the White House. In any other nation in the world, he would have been executed on that very day. Another “only in America.” Our laws have never applied to the rich and the powerful. I will never stop thinking about those three hours for as long as I live. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT ALLOWED TRUMP TO BECOME A DICTATOR Six corrupt Supreme Court justices granted Trump total immunity, giving him powers rejected by our Founding Fathers. Trump will also never be punished for violating the Espionage Act when he illegally removed a large number of national secrets from his former temporary residence on January 20, 2021. The highest Court in the land recreated America on that day, making it a na...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As a political writer, I have covered Trump since 2015. For more than ten years, I have informed my readers about the “real Donald Trump.” I have found nothing which might offer a positive or even patriotic side of the old, obese, ignorant man defiling our White House today. As disappointing as this is, it is the truth, and I kept one promise for more than ten years: the truth lives here. WHEN THE PRESIDENCY IS INVOLVED, AGE IS A FACTOR Trump, his party, and the late-night television shows discussed President Biden’s age ad nauseum. However, these same or similar comments have not been directed towards the orange buffoon pretending to be your president today. On June 14, Trump will become an octogenarian. He is far too old to lead a country or even a Boy Scout Troop. Three weeks after we mourn his birthday, I will have completed 80 years on the planet. I guarantee you that my mental acuity far surpasses that of your illegitimate president. MEMORY AND THE ABILITY...
