The Mercury’s Sound Off for Friday, April 5

Decent patriotic citizens of Montgomery County are finally standing up to the county’s Democrat leadership by voicing serious and factual concerns about election integrity. Despite hundreds of examples of election irregularities and outright voter fraud across the county, the Montgomery County Democrat leaders just keep repeating the scripted lie handed down to them by the DNC stating that there are no cases of election irregularities or voter fraud in the US, let alone Montgomery County.

Those who read The Mercury may have seen an obituary for Dr. James Tribbett. Some of you may recognize Jim as a semi-regular contributor to Sound Off in recent years. While I didn’t always agree with his politics, we had a very respectful relationship and I considered him a friend. He is well known in the Boyertown Area for his community service which you can read about at http://www.morrellfuneralhome.com/2024/04/02/james-a-tribbett/ Rest in Peace Jim.

Kudos to Michael Stern for pointing out that the owner-operator and the insurance company should pay for damage to the Key Bridge, not the US taxpayers. If they go bankrupt, so be it. When my son hit a guardrail along 422 his insurance company had to pay for replacement, not the taxpayers. Sure the government gets the job going, etc., but they shouldn’t accept liability upfront!

The Biden administration is doing a fabulous job of distracting the American public from what’s really important. They want you to focus your attention on his administration replacing Easter with Transgender Visibility Day instead of the administration’s ongoing chaos at the southern border, raging inflation, and out-of-control spending. We’re looking more and more like communist China each passing week.

For radical Republicans, DEI is their new CRT. Didn’t get into law school, DEI. Got a parking ticket, DEI. The plane lost a wheel, DEI. Your spouse left you, DEI. Maybe, radical Republicans, you are really just bad.

Our country needs to have a serious discussion about why we put people like Biden, AOC, and Omar in positions of power. I’m getting tired of the people who elect these people and giving them a national voice. It all goes back to our educational system. We need a national grassroots movement to restore balance to our education system.

Let’s see if the Catholic Church will be brave enough this election cycle to remind their congregants that as Christians, despite what their current progressive socialist Pope says, in the eyes of Jesus Christ, it will be considered an unforgivable act of moral corruption to vote for any Democrat politician at the local, state, or federal levels.

Another radical left-wing activist journalist is getting her just due. On FOX News — the nation’s most-watched/most trusted source for unbiased news — Jessica Tarlov couldn’t control her irrational compulsion to repeat the Democrat’s lie that Tony Bobulinsky (a key witness in the Biden Crime Family trials) has his lawyer fees paid by Donald Trump and Trump‘s supporters. Tarlov joins the ranks of activist leftist journalists being sued for millions and prosecuted for slander.

By now, everyone is aware of how important the bridge in Baltimore was, and is. It is essential to clean it up and rebuild it as quickly as possible. Commerce is losing $15 million a day. Dan Meuser of Pennsylvania doesn’t think it’s that important. He’s in no hurry to rebuild. Why? Because it’s President Biden’s plan. He wants Singapore to pay for it. Fat chance. Maybe he could have a bake sale.

Turned away at the gate! How glorious it was to see the people of New York and the NYPD family refuse to let the radical Democrat NY Governor Kathy Hochul make her photo op appearance at the services for a slain NY police officer who was brutally murdered by a lifelong criminal who was allowed to walk the streets due to the weak on crime policies implemented by Hochul and the NYC Democrat DA.

Don’t call them migrants. Don’t call them newcomers. Don’t call them undocumented. They came here illegally. They’re illegal aliens. They need to be arrested, processed and deported all within a matter of days. Not decades.

Perhaps the Associated Press’s “journalists” should begin carrying around note cards and cheat sheets so they can keep track of their insane articles. In Wednesday’s business section, AP’s Clare Savage penned an article bemoaning the fact that there’s still a gender salary gap in 2024 America. She (They/Them) must have forgotten that there’s no such thing as “gender.”

90% of all Democrat voters will vote for anyone as long as it’s not Donald Trump. Normal people should rightfully be asking why is the DNC forcing Joe Biden, a decrepit senile DC relic and the undisputed worst president in US history, on the American public. For the good of our country, and your family’s future, get over your Trump Derangement and refuse to be part of the Democrat’s hapless herd of simple sheeple.

Because Christmas became so secularized, there were numerous campaigns to put Christ back into Christmas. Now it appears after Biden has taken religious symbols from White House Easter Eggs and designated Easter as Transgender Day, we have to work to put Christ back into Easter. Who knew that you could take Jesus off the Cross for Easter?

How sad it must be — to believe that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, while a senile Octogenarian with more than 5 decades as a corrupt democrat politician and exhaustively documented record of lying and plagiarism is your only beacon of truth, honesty, and hope.

I didn’t see any “Happy Transgender Day of Visibility” cards on the shelves while shopping for an Easter card to send to my elderly parents to acknowledge the joyous holiday billions of Christians celebrate worldwide on the day Jesus rose from the dead to transform us so that we can live out our baptism by dying and rising with Christ. Looks like Joe Biden forgot to inform Hallmark that he removed Easter from the calendar.

Every time I hear a Democrat tell an interviewer that the Republicans blocked the bi-partisan senate bill, thus it is their fault the border is what it is, I wait with bated breath for the interviewer to ask about the bi-partisan H.R. 2 which has been tabled in the senate for 9 months.

There the “Moderate” goes again. Now the “Moderate” is attacking Trump directly with the tired 90+ indictments and MAGA baloney. If you were a moderate, you would realize that it wasn’t 90+ and many of them are ridiculous. If you were a moderate you would stop repeating the Democrat lies about Putin and Trump, and you would know that Biden’s policies were far more favorable toward Putin than Trump’s. But you aren’t a moderate.

It’s been said that taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society. It may be time to reassess that statement!
