The Mercury’s Sound Off for Monday, Sept. 25

It is happening. When you get your driver’s license renewed in Pa., they want to automatically sign you up for voting. This is how the Democrats plan to get the illegals on the voting list. They will not be allowed to ask if they are citizens, only if they want to sign up. No personal questions allowed or proof of citizenship.

More businesses require an “app on your phone” in order to get certain items that are on sale. Dollar General and Redner’s. Not everyone has cell phones!

An issue today is that incompetence seems to be accepted and at times supported by politicians and media. It used to be that if you spoke nonsense, you wouldn’t be covered by the media. The media would be discerning in who and what they covered. Today liars and buffoons are covered by MSM as if they are important and speak the truth! For certain people, no lie is ever too big to be covered.

Bad weather, long lines, a medical issue or long day at work can keep the most conscientious from voting booths on Election Day. With these thoughts in mind, a mail-in ballot can be applied for online at Pavoterservices.pa.gov. Navigating the site isn’t difficult. The process takes 5-10 minutes. Getting comfortable with this option for casting a ballot in upcoming fall elections will prepare you for major 2024 contests.

Can’t make it up! Biden goes to the United Nations to give a speech, a bad one at that! So-called US allies, the UK and France, don’t show up to hear Biden! LOL! No respect for the US or Biden!

Just the facts!

I see “Dutch” and others blaming Biden for the Calvacante border crossing – he came here in 2019. Who was the president? Oh, right. The reality is that while the Republicans had the presidency and the Senate, they passed no legislation on control of our border. They talk about getting tough but they take no action. All talk, no walk. Trump’s wall wouldn’t have stopped even if it was built — he came in via Puerto Rico.

Nikki Haley supports kids only using their birth name. Also, Nikki Haley, her birth name is Nimarata Randhawa. Radical Republican’s hypocrisy.

Prison escapes: 4.5 per 100,000 inmates. U.S. prison population: approx. 2,000,000 = approx. 90 escapes. 1978: Ted Bundy escapes Colorado prison. 1983: two murderers escape maximum-security prison Attica, killing corrections officer. 2015: two murderers escape Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York. 2018: group of inmates escape in South Carolina, killing several corrections officers. But let’s turn the “illegal”, Cavalcante, into a political hammer, blaming Biden and Dems. Plenty of American-born baddies out there.

Can anyone enlighten me as to all these historic achievements Biden/Harris have? All I see is rampant crime, limitless illegal immigration, sky-high inflation, the Afghanistan debacle and the weaponization of the DOJ.

I find it strange that the present administration and CDC have changed the definition of vaccine! It used to mean immunity to a specific disease. Now immunity was taken out of the definition to cover the fact that the Covid vaccine doesn’t actually provide immunity from COVID-19. So it is just a shot just as the flu shot is not a vaccine.

This meeting of the Assumption Society will come to order. I think we all know why we’re here.

Dr. Mercola claims a global takeover is in its final stages as mandatory mRNA jabs are coming. Owned by private interests, the technocratic cabal has gained control over most if not all Western governments, as well as the WHO bureaucracy. And it’s in writing — rapid-approval-stamped mRNA vaccines will become mandatory under the freedom-strangling, biological weapon-promoting pandemic treaty. For you who claim it won’t happen, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Dr. Jimbo

Did I read truth or fiction? Chuck Schumer changed the Senate dress code so fetterman can wear hoodies and shorts but everyone other than senators must wear business attire will crazy ever end.

When a man who embodies the seven deadly sins — lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride — is autographing Bibles, it means it may be time to reevaluate religion and politics.

After reading this everyday schoolyard whining by the same people daily about Biden I finally understand why most people think trump supporters have low IQs.

Mr. D

It is unethical to continue to approve and authorize mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 when the pandemic has mostly disappeared. It is unethical to promote these boosters as safe and effective when they clearly are not, and the gov’t. is ignoring evidence that the vaccines can and do provide considerable harm. It is unconscionable that gov’t recommends this booster for 6-month-olds when the FDA has no data on how children are affected.

Butch, if you really read Sound Off and not just the first few words or byline on the comment, I have never voiced an opinion on abortion. Butch be oblivious!

The Moderate

Have you noticed how one party calls their opponents commies, pedophiles, cheaters and offers nothing of substance? While the other wants lower med prices and other things like voter rights. Take a guess!

I keep reading Biden is basically too old and barely can function at all. However, the same people think Trump is physically fit, and a stable genius. How laughable is that! I see Biden jogging, riding a bike, and even can handle a muscle car. I saw Trump run or ride a bike because he couldn’t and to out of shape to do so. The only thing I seen Trump drive is a golf cart.

Politicians all claim to be “diplomats.” To quote an old saying, “Diplomacy is — To do and say — The nastiest things — In the nicest way. — BURMA SHAVE
