The Mercury’s Sound Off for Saturday, Nov. 4

The GOP elected MAGA Mike Johnson for Speaker. He is against gay rights, limits women’s choice on her health choices, and wants to cut trillions from Medicare and Social Security! So all you Biden haters you know the part-time joker, the one using 50-cent words, or the one when you read his post you say to yourself, what! Be careful what you wish for.

The Democrat modus operandi for decades — that is, create a major problem with an absurd policy, then propose a solution to fix the problem they created in the first instance, merely to score political points, not to actually fix the problem.

As liberal CEOs are fast learning, people prefer their beer, and their stores and banks woke-free (Bud Light, Target and BlackRock). When companies refuse to acknowledge that fact, they must learn the hard way that their customers have far more power than corporate boardrooms would like to believe and their foolishness costs shareholders billions of dollars, The more educated some people are, the stupider they get.

As a pastor, I visit with a lot of elderly people. And one of the most common things with people with dementia is repeating the same thing over and over. President Biden has been suffering from dementia for at least 3 years now so it will keep getting worse. It’s not about age, it’s about cognitive disability. He definitely is not fit to rule the free world. He should be enjoying his last years in a nursing home.

It’s absolutely hysterical seeing Geritol Joe, Kackala and their surrogates, the mainstream media, Trump Deranged victims, and the dumb hags on “The View” insist that the US economy is flourishing under the current administration and its “Bidenomics” policies. They actually say they don’t understand why Americans don’t see it. That says a lot about the Democrats and their party, doesn’t it?

The dominoes continue to fall — the latest is Mark Meadows. Will all of Trump’s co-defendants plead guilty? It’s possible. Because they likely all are guilty. What will The Orange One say then? Probably that they’re all lying and he’s telling the truth. And only a fool would believe him.

KC, Bless your heart, again! You are becoming a full-time job! NY judge set the value of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million, not $18 billion, a 20-acre estate, while a 2-acre lot three minutes away is going for $150 million! The banks and insurers determine the value of a property, not a NY judge who hasn’t even been to Mar-A-Lago! But you know that or do you?

Just the facts!

Why is CalTech, one of the finest STEM universities in the nation, dropping calculus, physics and chemistry as admissions course requirements? It is a byproduct of the assault on scholarship and merit at the secondary school level where such studies are being scrapped. Public education is in such disarray that high school students in “progressive” Oregon need not display basic competency in reading, writing and math to graduate. Diplomas equate to little more than attendance.

All you crazy Trump and MAGA lovers crying about the border, I have a question. Didn’t Donnie promise to build a wall and Mexico would pay for it? And didn’t parts of the wall Donnie did get built already collapse? MAGA

Hey Lefty, I’m going to send you a little play doll. Once you receive it, take it with you to your next appointment with your mental health counselor and point to where the mean Orange Man hurt you. The healing won’t happen until you admit your psychotic obsession and ask for help.

Using the same logic as the anti-vaxxers in Sound Off, if Aaron Rogers had gotten the Covid shot, he wouldn’t have torn his Achilles tendon.

Kenneth “The Cheese” Chesebro pleaded guilty to a felony and agreed to serve five year’s probation on Friday in exchange for truthful testimony about his co-defendants. This follows attorney Sidney Powell’s guilty plea on Thursday, and it spells trouble for the other defendants including the Big Cheese, Donald Trump.

Cato: Credit card fees — Cash users shouldn’t be charged that fee. Merchants (You, Cato?) shouldn’t be allowed to pocket that charge. How is this “… the markings of a liberal ‘solution’ – make the people not responsible pay?” “… been around a long time ….” So has theft. Let it go on? “… government-approved cost.” Government is not involved. This was foisted on everyone by credit card companies and banks. Try comprehending what you read.

Hey someone does read stuff you put in Sound Off although you have no name. I did read that and I knew there were mostly signatures from around the world … but sir no-name what if this is all-natural and those alpine glaciers in another life are the next grand canyons? It’s all nature and whatever we do has no bearing on what happens!

Overheard in the diner today that January 6 was mostly peaceful because only a small percentage there used violence. By that measure, the battle of the Little Big Horn was mostly peaceful. There were thousands of natives in that valley, and only a small percentage took part in the violence. January 6 was an attempt to overthrow the government, plain and simple! If you believe, otherwise, you ate the brown acid.

Democrat voters have the lowest of standards. And they certainly got what they voted for.

May Jiller what you don’t understand is that I don’t oppose a wall. What I oppose is paying for an inefficient project. Mexico was supposed to pay for the wall. This is like when your next-door neighbor builds a fence and it keeps your dog in the yard but you don’t have to pay the price.

I saw where a ‘black widow’ spider was found in a bag of grapes at a grocery store. Just one more reason I’m not a vegan. I’ve never found a spider in a package of bacon.
