The Mercury’s Sound Off for Friday, March 29

Every single Democratic lawmaker in the Senate just voted against an amendment that would bar the use of taxpayer funds to fly illegal foreign aliens into America and broadly relocate them to dozens of US cities. That’s what your vote for the Democrats and Joe Biden gets you. Moderate, KC, JR, Lefty, RealAmerican, Jay Miller, Patriot54, JB in Limerick, et al., are you proud of what you stand for and what you’ve done?

Four years ago I watched the Democrats debate. They were asked two questions — do you support defunding the police and do you support open borders? All the buffoons proudly raised their hands in support. Three years later, NYC called out the National Guard for help. Do the Dems really think our country can survive 4 more years of this hypocrisy?

M.F.

New name for Don the Con: BINO — Billionaire in Name Only.

RealAmerica

When did theft become OK to do? Is it just in Democratic cities? Politicians are paid with tax dollars generated by Commercial Retail Stores. To have a store close up and move because of theft is just total negligence and incompetence by the people who run the city government. It’s absurd! How is this allowed to happen? It’s already happening in Philadelphia, Hopefully, it doesn’t come out to our town!

Secure borders. Capitalism. Fiscal responsibility. Support of law enforcement. Strong military. Secure elections. Qualifications over DEI. No men allowed in women’s sports or bathrooms. School choice. Sanctity of life. Personal responsibility to pay back the loans you willingly and contractually agreed to pay back. An unbiased Justice Department. The US Constitution is not open to interpretation. That’s MAGA!

Patriot45

No messaging will change people’s minds in Biden, and there is no referendum on Trump. Biden has been in office for over 3 years, all the problems are owned by Biden. Things will get worse as the year goes on, not better. Trump is your next president.

Brainless Biden couldn’t help but make the Key Bridge collapse about him telling America that he used to often commute over that bridge by train. Someone should have informed Dementia Joe that there are no train rails over the Key Bridge and never have been. Everyone knows Biden is too brain-dead to be embarrassed. What excuses do Biden voters have?

Asking for a friend: If firms can get by with paying women 72 cents on the dollar for the same quality of work as men, then why don’t we see any firms with all female labor forces using those lower costs to dominate the marketplace?

Jay Miller mentioned election integrity in Sound Off. If anyone needs some Election Integrity it is the Democrats. Everything they mention is to make it easier to cheat the system. No voter I.D. Biden is flooding certain Democrat states with illegals to have them counted to increase the number of state representatives in Congress. Driver’s licenses leading to Illegal Registration to vote. Why are the Dems so set on destroying this country?

Insurance companies are starting to refuse to offer coverage in Democrat cities. Before you scream racism, understand this is how it works snowflakes. Insurance companies make money by ensuring people have jobs, are responsible citizens, don’t commit fraud and most importantly are honest. Democrat cities have none of those qualities.

Mike Pence won’t support Donald Trump’s re-election. Trump’s own VP doesn’t think he’s fit to serve again. That’s unprecedented and sums it all up in the simplest of terms (for anyone still on the fence). The mainstream media barely reported it.

KC

Looks aren’t everything, but I have them just in case.

Bill Wilson

If all you can run on is “you’re not Trump”, then you have already lost. Personalities aside, people were significantly better off during Trump’s tenure. Name one positive thing Biden has done.

B-John

When I read Sound Off comments about President Trump threatening Democracy, I wonder what people like KC smoked or drank before writing those comments. The only party taking candidates off ballots are Biden Democrats. They don’t want Trump, RFK, Manchin, Philips, or anyone else running on the presidential ballot in November. That is the most anti-democratic action ever taken by any political party.

I wonder how it is possible that more than 130 Russians were sadly killed at a concert in Moscow and scores more injured.  Automatic Weapons are illegal and cannot be sold there.  Ammunition is tightly controlled in Moscow.  All gun owners must be licensed. Looks like banning guns and licensing gun owners doesn’t work either.

Are you better off today than you were four years ago? Americans are screaming “NO!” While the Dow may be performing better, that impacts only middle-class Americans who may have 401(k) retirement accounts (assuming they can still afford to fund them). That has no impact on most of America’s middle and lower classes who cannot afford gas, groceries, utilities, mortgages, rents, taxes and other basics that used to be affordable under President Trump.

May Jiller

Still waiting to hear about something Tracy Pennycuik has accomplished other than her dog whistle rants. She has been in office as state senator for 14 months and state representative for 2 years. I think she is just collecting a paycheck from her gerrymandered district.

Patriot54

Sen. Chuck Schumer is urging Israel to have an election for Prime Minister now. He says, “We’re just asking that they get a right to choose when so many people are just upset with the direction of the present government in Israel.” Gee, shouldn’t he have been asking for this in the U.S. for at least a year for this reason?

Dennis A. Biggs

OK, all my Trumpers, with 40 million cult MAGA minions please donate $100 each, that will give me $400 million. This race is about me, look how I kept the border crisis alive, trying to cut social security, eliminating Obama care and leaving Ukraine to fight my hero Putin. So please send money till it hurts because if I lose it will be a bloodbath!

JB in Limerick

The Democratic Party leadership turned down RFK Jr. a sure win in November, for a stumbling, bumbling idiot. Why you ask? Because the party is no longer Democrat but Socialist. It is a “DINO” and RFK Jr.’s liberal, idealistic policies are not welcome anymore with today’s leftist party, even less than Republicans. RFK Jr. represents the original heart and soul of the Democratic Party and its people would have supported him, but not Socialist thieves.

Stinger

To the Moderate: It’s all part of a Free Welcoming Package: get out of jail card, housing, food, medical, phone, health insurance, driver’s license and debit card. Welcome to America!

The only business that the Government has is taxes, nothing is free.

My cardiologist told me about a new “heart-healthy” diet. She said, “If it tastes good, spit it out!”
