The Mercury’s Sound Off for Saturday, Dec. 16

Food programs like Cluster, Salvation Army and Bethel Community Church Food Pantry are vital to neighbors who are food insecure and/or unable to afford the high price of food. We hope that such programs as TEFAP will continue because they help food banks and pantries and keep shelves stocked with nutritious foods.

I don’t blindly align with any political party but what is astounding to me is not Biden’s low approval ratings, but the fact anyone who has followed his record objectively as president approves of his leadership at all. And that’s not to mention his obvious cognitive decline along with his alleged corruption that’s currently being investigated.

A Real Moderate

So often the MSM’s nonsense is just remarkable! When the Trump-Russian Hoax ended, they switched to having everyone tell us about what a racist Trump was, and the media couldn’t tell us often enough. Now that we don’t know if Biden will make it to the election, MSM is telling us as often as they can that Trump will be a Dictator if he wins. Joe seems to be trying to wear that hat!

H. John

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) slammed President Biden for again violating the law. This time by creating a loophole to allow electric vehicles with Chinese batteries to be eligible for a federal tax credit. An angry Joe Manchin declared: “I do not understand why President Biden is allowing his administration to now route our essential supply chains through China”. Follow the money that flowed from China to the Bidens, and it’s easy to understand.

Patriot 54, you’ve gone over the edge this time. Things are going really well? Don’t you read any other part of the paper except Sound Off? Yes, the world is united and strategically aligned. Only it’s aligned against us. Can you say China, Iran, Russia, North Korea; any one of them would love to see America go down. If you support that alignment, you should be ashamed to call yourself a “Patriot.”

Still Amazed

If you’re a Democrat, it means you’ve never taken an Economics class in your life. Democrat policies completely contradict free market principles, meaning they do not promote market growth. For the market to grow there needs to be incentives for expansion like lower taxes and less regulation. When theirs a reward and fewer barriers, companies will grow. It’s really simple. Democrats want high taxes and heavy regulation. Both are terrible for the economy.

I keep hearing Hunter Biden is not a smart person. He has a JD degree from Yale, which makes him a lawyer, and He passed his bar exam so he can practice law. maybe we should look in the mirror if we only had a JD degree! Not too many of us do.

Mr. Speaker, it is time to revoke the security clearance of all Congressional Democrat Squad members. They are now a viable threat to national security.

Molly: “… There are no innocent Palestinians in Gaza.” Let’s see, as of today, 11/20/2023, 28 of 39 premature babies survived to be evacuated. Since you apparently are God-like in your perceptions, can we assume the 11 who died were Hamas terrorists? I really don’t want to hear, “Well ….” You made a flat statement. Do you stand by it or not?

Islamic extremists, liberal college students, Democrat congresswomen, and university presidents are all openly antisemitic. They’re so proud of it and so arrogant about it that they dare anyone to criticize their heinous conduct. This is what you get when voting Blue. God Save the Queen!

Donald is a con artist, those who follow him have been conned. It’s plain and simple, he will destroy America. We can change Congress if all who care vote and vote wisely.

Night Light

So now Trump has declared that he will act as a dictator if he is elected in 2024. There are numerous contributors to Sound Off, of limited intelligence, who claim to believe in the Constitution, yet would still vote for this would be despot. Our country is in serious trouble. God help us.

RealAmerica

Election time is coming up. Biden is promising anything and everything that he eliminated that Trump started. Oil is becoming more plentiful all of a sudden, climate change is on the agenda with fewer made-up facts according to the summit, and border control is in discussion again but nothing is being done. It is amazing how he has changed ideas now that will influence voters.

When asked how AOC’s Green New Deal could be paid for, she replied, “Taxes can pay some, and government can pay the rest!” Typical Democrat!

Barney

The Special Counsel showed a judge probable cause Trump committed criminal acts trying to overthrow the 2020 election and furthered them using his Twitter account. They were also able to show his propensity to knowingly intimidate witnesses and destroy evidence which is why he wasn’t notified about the warrant. Others assisted his attempts to overthrow the election. Maybe we should be more concerned about that than a list of user names liking Trump’s tweets.

KC

It takes a special type of stupid to think the left would dress up like the right and raid the Capitol to change the outcome of an election they just won. We are looking at you radical republicans! Bless your hearts!

Patriot54

If the big lie keeps being told, there are always some who will believe it, so Trump keeps spewing the same baloney and there are some who will eat it no matter the facts. The scary thing is that there are a few who still support Trump. Fortunately, many still see through Trump and will again vote for the other choice.

Hey Lefty, non-deranged Americans would be ecstatic if we had zero increases in Social Security benefits — as long as we could go back to zero inflation like we had before Biden screwed everything up. Hate to break it to you, but three years of double-digit inflation isn‘t something you should be bragging about. Enjoy your extra twenty bucks a month. I’ll bet you’ll use it to buy more Donald Trump toilet paper.

Pres. Biden claims “Bidenomics” is working, but he never points out who it’s working for!
