The Mercury’s Sound Off for Saturday, Oct. 14

My heart goes out to Israel’s families who have lost loved ones. The unspeakable horrors continue to be uncovered. Today I read that the Hamas sub-human terrorists intentionally killed 40 babies. Who could do such a thing? I thought Joe Biden was going to return us to “normalcy.” That is what was promised. Instead, we have demonic killing in Israel and Ukraine as a direct result of Biden’s appeasement.

Michael Stern

The day Israel was attacked by Hamas there was a coordinated Republican social media effort to spread lies about the money (still unreleased) involved in the Iranian hostage exchange. Republicans attacking our own government with lies, trying to score political points in a crisis. The Tea Party/Trump Party must lose again at the ballot box. Vote the liars out. Our democracy will fail if we don’t demand truth and integrity from elected officials.

Joe Biden read a script prepared by his left-wing PR agency saying he “has Israel’s back” while at the same time, he sends billions of US taxpayer dollars to the terrorists who savagely slaughtered thousands of innocent Israeli citizens. And as per usual, Dementia Joe refuses to take any questions from the press. Sickening!

Cholly

I don’t see any of the loyal Democrat posts calling out members of Congress who are anti-Israel such as the Squad as Hamas butchers women, children and the elderly. Not very patriotic are they? Need to be told to resign.

Mike S

The Biden administration is supporting a “proportionate” response by Israel with regard to the terrorist attack by Hamas. What does “proportionate” mean? Does that mean Biden supports raping women, beheading babies, killing children in horrific ways, taking hostages, or perhaps killing pets?

Dan Fields

Radical Republican Sound Offers, just a reminder, you are the minority party in Pa. Most Pennsylvanians do not agree with or like your policies. Also, Josh Shapiro is a great governor for all!

Now that Hamas has done its terrible deeds to Israel, my fear is that this issue will put Ukraine on the back burner with too many of you. However, the events are similar with a tyrant and terrorists being in the same league, destroying other civilizations. However, with Israel, the USA will really be there whereas many will let Ukrainians do all of the work.

Jim Tribbett

Hey Joe, do you and the Democrats have another $6 billion or so you can suck out of the citizens for Iran to help them finance Hamas in their sneak attack and war with Israel? You must have learned that stunt from America’s worst president ever, Barack Obama. Hopefully, your days are numbered and we can get some common sense back in the White House.

Truth Be Told

Democrats in Congress refuse to condemn Hamas terrorists even after they’ve chopped off the heads of over 50 little babies. Just when I thought the Democrat Party couldn’t be more evil!

Missy Miss

Everyone knows someone who can’t be trusted to keep a secret, so you don’t tell them anything. It’s many times worse with Trump because these secrets concern national security. He blows his mouth to anyone who will listen. Makes him feel important. Our enemies can use this information to counter our military. Nice work, bonehead.

You Democrats who live in cities and large towns should watch the classic movie “Escape from New York” before you vote Democratic again.

A Very Concerned American

The biggest problem with eating healthy is that I would rather not do that.

Bill Wilson

War is raging in Israel because Joe Biden unfroze $6B for Iran, resulting in the death of thousands of Israelis and at least 20 Americans by Hamas terrorists. When President Trump was in office, there was peace in the Middle East because of the signing of the Abraham Accords he brokered. Under Trump, there was peace through strength across the world. Now take a look at what’s happening under Joe Biden. Notice the difference?

Professor Potts

How could Hamas have been so naive? Don’t they recall Marjorie Taylor Green saying that the Jewish people have space lasers that cause California fires? Surely Israel could use them for other purposes.

Portly

President Joe Biden waited 3 days before making a statement about the Palestinian‘s terrorist attack on Israel. When he finally did, he looked like a decrepit old nursing home resident reading from a teleprompter. Gone are the days of the world looking to the United States as the true North guiding light for rational, powerful, decisive, and feared leadership for all things decent and moral. 81 million votes? Most popular president in US history? Yeah, right!

Barney

Some people are blaming Biden for the Middle East problem. Just remember their Prime Minister tried to change their judicial system stripping away average citizen rights. Israel’s Prime Minister is facing criminal charges and indictments and filled cabinet positions with his cronies. He did this for personal gain over the country’s interest, boy does this sound familiar here?

JB in Limerick

I keep hearing gloom and doom about the economy. I just read in USAToday the job market defies expectations again 336,000 jobs were created in September. 227,000 jobs in August. I just bought gas in Phoenixville the other day for $3.52 and they say it’s gonna drop until Halloween.

Jay Miller

Considering Obama gave a plane load of cash to Iran during his atrocious administration, Biden handed Afghanistan over to the Taliban in August of 2021 along with $8 Billion dollars worth of functioning US military weapons and equipment, Biden graciously presented Iran with 5 Al-Qaeda terrorists and $6 Billion last month, does anybody really believe the United States Democrats want peace in the Middle East?

I am fairly new to reading Sound Off, after the first few times of reading the comments out here I started hearing the Looney Toons Theam playing in the background. It did not take me long to figure out why this always happens, it is because of the overwhelming number of people out here with (BDS) Biden Derangement Syndrome.

Mr. D

Recently I saw an article, “The Joy of Running.” To me, the joy of running would be hoping that whatever is chasing me doesn’t catch up!
