The Mercury’s Sound Off for Friday, April 12

Joe Biden’s Labor Dept. is cooking the numbers when it releases the monthly jobs report. While the Associated Press runs Democratic propaganda about “job growth” in March, here are the real numbers: Government jobs added … 71,000. Manufacturing jobs added … 0. Part-time jobs … 691,000. Full-time jobs … minus 6,000. And as the Labor Dept. has done in 12 of the last 14 months, the numbers will be revised downward next month when nobody is paying attention.

Captain America

Can’t wait for the flat Earth/climate change alarmists to claim that the earthquake was caused by fracking or fossil fuel drilling. Of course, according to real scientists, the Earth was having earthquakes for tens of thousands of years and that is how the continents were formed and sculpted. I am sure the flat Earth/climate change alarmists will not disappoint.

Realist

As stated by economist and author Paul Craig Roberts: Vaccines are killers and brainwashed mothers submit to the murders of their children all the time. Ask yourself why, if the vaccines are safe and effective, Big Pharma needed liability protection from the government for future lawsuits related to its injuries and deaths resulting from their flawed drugs. Inquiring minds want to know?

Anti-Vaxxer

The 99 Cents Only chain of stores has just announced the closing of almost all of its stores. The reason they gave was inflation. So the Democrat-supporting KC, Jay Miller, Patriot54, RealAmerica, Lefty, etc., can make all the excuses they want, Dollar Tree and 99 Cents Only are closing thanks to Bidenomics. Oh, and Ford just announced more losses for the battery cars and more delays.

R. M.

Triggered liberals, there is no “Trump Bible.” It’s Lee Greenwood’s bible and he’s been offering it for sale for years, Trump is just endorsing it now. Funny how there was no issue with it until Trump was involved. Get over it.

Peaches

One of the extreme Democrats who writes into Sound Off got something right. Biden did not have a secret program to fly in 330,000 or so illegal immigrants! That’s right it wasn’t secret, because some Republicans and a few conservative news sites have been telling us this for a year. But mainstream media kept these flights from us, essentially denying what Republicans were saying until recently. Biden flew in 330,000 illegals into the USA.

“Dutch”

I took the road less traveled, and now I don’t know where the heck I am.

Bill Wilson

I wonder why those who post regularly about Trump’s military draft deferments and eventual medical exemption for bone spurs never tell us about Biden’s draft history. Maybe they are unaware that Joe Biden, the football star and lifeguard, received a medical exemption for asthma after his five draft deferments.

Robert Minninger

Donald Trump understands the needs of true Americans whether it be food supplies, wholesome entertainment (The Apprentice), matters of national security, adherence to the Constitution and sound economic principles (balanced budgets). Everything he does is for Americans because he’s a true patriot and selfless. We owe him a debt we’ll never be able to repay. We’ll never see another President so well-read, compassionate, noble, dignified or as charitable as Donald Trump.

Ruby

Let’s see, should I buy a Bible that is being promoted by President Trump and Lee Greenwood for $60 or a President Jimmy Carter signed Bible that is being sold by Carter for $300 and more? I can’t afford the Democrat Bible at $300, so I think I will go with the $60 Bible.

Billy G.

Okay Jane, start with the stolen election theory, no proof. The Biden Crime Family crap (Hunter, maybe), no proof. All charges against Trump are political maneuvering, maybe a few, but most are from being a crooked businessman. Democrats, Biden is too old. Bidenomics is smoke and mirrors. Corporate greed = higher profits which increase stock value. Hell, I might vote for Dave McCormick since he is no longer sucking up to Trump.

The Moderate

Joe Biden is working hard to win the Christian vote. He declared Easter, the culmination of Holy Week, the Transgender Visibility Day. He also banned religious symbols on decorated Easter Eggs at the White House. Imagine if he declared Transgender Visibility Day to coincide with the start of Ramadan. Like I said, Biden is working hard to win the Christian vote for Donald Trump.

Michael Stern

Are you telling me the guy who cheated to get into college and cheated to get out of Vietnam and cheated on his wives and cheated at golf and cheated donors to his fake charity and cheated students at his scam university has been cheating his campaign donors? Get the hell out of here!

RealAmerica

Can’t make it up! Every time Weekend at Bernie’s Biden flaps his jaws he rants about the threats to “Democracy”! Yet Biden the Democrats and their friends in the MSM are doing everything possible to keep Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr. off the ballots! It’s long overdue that these idiots look in the mirror and see the real threats to “democracy”! I’m sure Madeline Dean gets it!

Just the facts!

Head Oversight Committee clown Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told Newsmax that an impeachment vote on Joe Biden was not the “best path” forward, effectively throwing in the towel. Just a reminder radical Republicans, your candidate Don the Con was impeached twice and facing 91 indictments in court. You pick terrible candidates.

Patriot54

Joe Biden has drained the Strategic Oil Reserve but hasn’t replaced any of it yet. His administration has canceled a purchase of oil to replenish the reserve. Another stupid decision by his bumbling administration.

Jane “The Real Moderate” Batdorf

Cause and effect. As predicted, the $20 minimum wage for fast food workers in California has resulted in thousands of layoffs and will move that industry to further job-killing automation. In 2022, an automated McDonalds opened in Fort Worth, Texas. Elsewhere, state government tampering with compensation in the GIG economy, which employs independent contractors, has precipitated significant cost-related declines in demand for such services.

M. Furlong

Patriot54 seems like an odd choice for a Sound Off pseudonym. I can understand incorporating a word that you feel describes yourself and your feelings toward your country, but incorporating your IQ into that pseudonym is just embarrassing.

The Snarky Conservative

Pop always told me I could be anyone I wanted to be, but now that’s called “identity theft!”
