God’s Biggest Mistake: Creating Mankind

Image
I was in my twenties. I had grown up and was paying greater attention to my country and what lay beyond our nation’s shores. A funny thing about becoming aware and informed is that once you begin, you want to know more and more: your interest grows rapidly. Although I believed then, as I do now, that most human beings are basically good, evil exists, it is real, and it is frightening. It appears to be far more prevalent in the 21st century. It was during that part of my education that I formed a belief which is far more real today than it was in the late 1960’s and 70’s. “God’s biggest mistake was the creation of man. Not a single of God’s creatures destroys what He created for the sole purpose of increasing its personal wealth. This is unique among H H omo sapiens. Animals use our soil, water, and clean air as intended. Animals have never plotted the destruction of another species based on unwarranted anger, hatred, or jealousy. Although our Founding Fathers made mistakes, they were n...

Lombardo is Just Another Lying Fascist

Image
It was a sad day. After an effective Governor, Steve Sisolak, led my state of Nevada through Trump’s devastating pandemic, he was defeated by a Trump lackey, Joe Lombardo. Lombardo is now seen in ads for developers and as an advocate for private and charter schools Here’s why “The Truth Lives Here.” I moved to Northern Nevada in 1986 from North County San Diego. I plan to die here. I feel very fortunate to have lived in three extraordinary places. At the age of five my parents moved from Lewiston, Idaho, where I was born in 1946, to Los Angeles, California. We, my maternal grandparents, and one of my uncles caravaned to a city which promised good jobs. In 1977, just after the birth of my daughter, I moved my family to San Diego’s booming north county after accepting a job offer. After a divorce, and a new marriage, I left California for the Reno, Nevada, area in 1986. I worked in my profession as a hairstylist, but a year later entered into the gambling industry. I worked with men and ...

Why Another Blog?

Image
This is my third blog. I previously published thousands of articles on “AskReverendJim,” and “TheWiseOldFart. Prior to my blogs I wrote for two papers, “the Las Vegas Express,” and “The Chicago Leader.” So why “The Truth Lives Here” now? A simple answer, “because my beloved country is in great peril.” Less than a handful of Americans appear to be aware of this fact, or maybe they just don’t care, but it is an undeniable fact. In the White House is an old, obese, malignant narcissist who has no interest in being an American President. His loyalty is to the despots he admires: Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, Mohammad bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and any other fascist who rules over his people without concern for their welfare. Trump is constantly violating the Constitution, breaking treasured traditions, and undoing the efforts of past presidents who loved their nation and every man, woman, and child he was elected to serve. No one with the power to remove pure evil from o...

White Supremacist? Trump is Your Guy

Image
White privilege is real, and only those who benefit from being born into this situation deny its reality. Trump was finally exposed as the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement in 2018. Since January 20 he has openly supported whites only while making life more difficult for Blacks, Hispanics, women, the LGBTQ community, anyone who is not a Christian or a Jew, and the entire majority of our nation’s people; the working class. This week he gave preference to 54 white citizens of South Africa who want to leave their country. They claim to be suffering from the end of apartheid. [Apartheid in South Africa lasted from 1948 to 1994. This period represents the time when the white minority government implemented and enforced a system of racial segregation and discrimination against the Black majority. The end of apartheid was marked by the transition to a democratic, multi-racial government in 1994.] Granting these 54 very white people refugee status is another act of hypocrisy by the worst m...

Electing Trump Guaranteed the End of the First Amendment

Image
If you believe as I do and as our Founding Fathers did in 1787-1789, that the First Amendment is the most important phrase every written, and is the optimal guide for the creation of the United States of America, this article will create great sorrow and enormous fear for us all. If you refuse to believe that Trump is the leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America, you must also be a fascist. This is the headline which inspired me to write this article. “Trump admin cracks down on pro-Palestinian protests at colleges” In case you have forgotten, here is the First Amendment.” “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech , or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” I have been warning every America for the last 10 years that Trump is Putin’s Puppet, and his only goal is to be America’s Fuhrer. His family ...

This is a Practice Donald Trump Used for Decades, and Now He has been Indicted for his Crimes

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I want to make it simple for you to understand why a federal judge is supporting fraud indictments levied against Trump’s business interests in New York. Yours, truly, begin writing about Donald Trump’s felonies ten years ago. Let me explain the reason for the indictments in a very simple and understandable way. If you own a home or business, the county tax assessor will declare a monetary value each year by a specified date determined by law. The owner of that property or business has an opportunity to dispute the value of said property which would reduce the amount of taxes. This is what Trump and his lawyers have done for decades, and it is not in any way a violation of our nation’s overly complicated tax laws which are designed to protect the wealthy. However, when Trump’s business sought loans from large banks, such as Deutsche Bank, they inflated the value of these same properties which enabled them to receive a larger loan. The ex...
