The Mercury’s Sound Off for Friday, Nov. 10

Another Pa. election, and another blue wave. Radical Republicans lose again at statewide and local levels. Radical Republicans truly are the loud minority. The majority of Pa. voters do not support your made-up culture wars and attacks on women’s rights. And how about those school board races? The M4L candidates got destroyed in Perkiomen Valley, Pennridge and Central Bucks.

Why is it that whenever there is a vote in Congress on anything, the vote is usually along party lines? Can’t one person in all of Congress think for themselves? Same with the courts. The courts are supposed to be equal and unbiased following the letter of the law! Can this country agree on anything?

Puggy

Oh my! Has anyone seen the results of the general election? A Democratic Party sweep! S-F and PV school boards, county commissioners, even prothonotary and recorder of deeds! Why aren’t the losers protesting? Because they know that elections were fair, just like DJT did in 2020. That’s why he will be convicted of crimes against America, and lose in 2024! The GOP is the minority. That’s why their goal is to take away voting rights.

Would Republicans have won more local elections had those unable to cast ballots for whatever reason on November 7th taken advantage of the mail-in process? In Chester County, this appears so. Approximately 28% of ballots were received by mail. In the brief history of mail-in ballots, Democrats have accounted for 70% of requests. Applying for a ballot online is pretty simple. Requests are confirmed as are the receipt of completed ballots.

Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act subsidizes massive green corporations and promotes 87000 IRS agents to audit taxpayers while doing little to help working people. Originally, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen pledged the IRS would not deploy additional auditors for Americans making less than $400,000. But it only took a few months for IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel to admit that the self-imposed limit will change.

Truth Be Told

There is not another nation on the face of this planet that has allowed the mass migration of illegal immigrants as we have during the Joe Biden administration. Nor have we ever had a president like Biden who ignores the death by fentanyl of 100,000 civilians per year. Biden allows our southern border to be open to fentanyl trafficking and is complicit in the deaths of 100,000 civilians each year. Biden hates America.

“Dutch”

Rather than deem the month of November “Islamophobia Awareness Month,” President Biden needs to activate the National Guard so Jewish students can go to class without being threatened by Democrat-voting Islamic radicals. Just like the president had to do 50-60 years ago to ensure blacks could go to classes without being assaulted by racist Democrats. Sleepy Joe needs to wake up and do something!

Mrs. Crabtree

There’s now no doubt that The Associated Press is run by, and staffed with, a bunch of antisemitic pigs. While they (like the Democrat Squad) downplay or ignore the horrific atrocities committed by Hamas against innocent Israelis, they use their journalistic reach to falsely portray Hamas and the Palestinian people of Gaza as innocent and righteous freedom fighters. When in fact, Hamas and their constituency in Gaza are nothing but murdering antisemitic Islamic terrorists.

Jen Psaki

The results are in. In predominantly “Red States” voters approved abortion rights legislation. The TV news media proclaimed: “A victory for Democrats.” How about a victory for women’s rights?

MK

Moms for Liberty…A group that wants to restrict what children read by deleting books about LBGT and race issues. How ironic. They should have called themselves “Moms for Prohibition.”

Portly

Blaming guns for killing people is like blaming spoons for people overeating.

RealAmerica, Democrat lawmakers propose doubling the size of the IRS because Biden and his Democrat Socialist ilk know they need to confiscate even more wealth from America’s contributing producers because the Democrats’ progressive policies encourage laziness and celebrate personal unaccountability while rewarding nonproductive losers with the ability to leech off the government’s confiscation of the diminishing tax base of America’s productive conservatives. Just another example of the Democrats screwing the real working man!

Captain Dudley Bradstreet

Dot, correct BLM, Black Lives Matter, is a scam! Coca-Cola quietly dropped financial support last week! Coke dropped BLM’s financial support because of BLM’s condemnation of Israel for defending her people! Corporations are beginning to learn to keep to business and only business! Bud Light is still learning that lesson! BLM buying a mansion helped no one except the organizers, a total scam!

Just the facts!

Joe Biden and the Democrats can send billions of American tax dollars to bolster Ukraine’s pension funds, but won’t replace the billions of dollars the US government stole from the US Social Security Fund. Vote Blue and this is what you get.

Lumpy

Michael Stern: Dean and Houlahan didn’t vote against supporting Israel, despite your attempt to spin it. They voted against the “poison pill” of stealing allocated IRS monies, intended for pursuing rich tax evaders. (CBO said it would reduce tax revenue.) The GOP knew the bill had no chance to pass, but would make good campaign fodder to their base. It was a political stunt. Notice they didn’t try to “re-allocate” corporate subsidies.

Lefty … just like the MSM your opinions on my comments are totally wrong again. Someone with documented violent ideations with mental health issues should not have weapons. U ignore my words … responsible gun ownership. And stop telling me what I’m thinking. You have no idea what’s in my head.

Well Armed

As Islamic terrorists are beheading and roasting little Jewish children, the Biden administration launches an anti-Islamophobia program. No word yet on when he’ll announce his anti-antisemitic program. Who’s running this country anyway?

Chip

Mr. Fitch, unfortunately, our billions don’t buy as much “goodwill” as they used to (inflation?) and usually end up with a hand extended looking for more.

The Moderate

A new study shows that the most expensive vehicle to operate is a shopping cart!
