The Mercury’s Sound Off for Sunday, Jan. 28

Tuesday’s Mercury was filled with stories of Biden’s America. Front page was the growing hunger caused by Biden’s runaway inflation with 2 million Pennsylvanians getting SNAP benefits(Food Stamps). Food banks are overwhelmed. Page 5 detailed the demise of the Merchandiser due to Joe Biden’s inflation. Page 6 had Terraform Labs Bankruptcy. And eggs are $2.75 a dozen. Isn’t Bidenomics great?

Hey Owen J Roberts residents, aren’t you glad you elected a progressive Democrat school board that totally ignores and thumbs their noses to you? Enjoy getting your kids up even earlier every morning so you can get them to preschool daycare (which will cost you thousands). You always have the option of Catholic or Charter school. Dems be tripp’n!

Crime must be nonexistent in Upper Pottsgrove since the police chief who we pay $135K a year has so much free time, that it allows him to write nasty warning letters to law-abiding taxpaying residents which cost $10 each to mail. Your civil rights and free speech in Upper Pottsgrove Township are at risk.

In 2000 and 2001 terrorists that were planning Sept. 11 had to pretend that they were training to be pilots in order to enter the USA. In December, 300,000 illegal immigrants just walked across our southern border thanks to Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. The next terrorist event will be on the Democrat Party.

Realist

The Congressional Budget Office numbers say that Democrat Joe Biden has released 6.2 million illegal immigrants into the USA. Think about that. Joe Biden is allowing an invasion of illegal immigrants into your neighborhoods of unprecedented magnitude. When the next Sept. 11 happens in the USA it will be Joe Biden’s fault.

Greg Howey

According to CBS News: “The typical American household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain the same standard of living they enjoyed in January of 2021, right before inflation soared to 40-year highs, according to a recent analysis of government data.” That is the truth of Bidenomics.

To the Global Warming people, I have one question. Water is more dense than ice because ice floats. If ice melts you actually have less water because of the difference in density. How are the oceans going to flood the shorelines if you have less water? Global warming has more questions than answers. The southern states are below-freezing this year, ask Texas. Weather varies from year to year.

Why would you be dead from getting 3 COVID shots? Some people got 6 shots and survived. No one ever said it would have a 100% mortality rate. Even the black plague didn’t do that. What we are saying is that the vaccine is far more damaging than the virus, which should answer your 2nd question. Besides, some of these injuries are much worse than death. This is what
fires up my mission.

The globalist elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos were quaking in their boots after the resounding victory of Donald Trump in Iowa. The #1 issue was border security followed by the economy — both of which are an indictment on Joe Biden’s policies. The WEF, WHO, and the UN want a weak president like Biden who they can manipulate, and fear a strong leader like Trump who is a threat to their power structures.

Greg Levengood

Just imagine if Trump picks Vivek Ramaswamy to be his Vice President. It would be the best bumper sticker ever: “Tumparama.”

Billy G.

The Associated Press no longer even tries to hide the fact that they’re in the pocket of the Democrat Party. AP’s January 12th article boasts that while inflation is still high and increasing, some costs have increased only “mildly.” Does anyone believe that would be the same headline if it we had today’s inflation crisis when Trump was in office? Can’t wait to hear Dementia Joe campaign on Bidenflation, Bidenomics, and Biden border policies.

Michelle Obama’s terror over 2024 election prospects provides a blueprint of what clearly does not bother her — energy dependence, illegal immigration, instigated wars, a two-tiered justice system, drug overdoses, a broken healthcare system, urban no-go zones, destruction of the dollar, inflation, declines in education standards, the medical abuse of children and accommodations to China, all products of a de facto 3rd Obama term disguised as a Biden presidency.

M. Furlong

With complete disregard for the Supreme Court’s ruling that only Congress had the power to forgive student loans, Dictator Biden announced the acceleration of his plans to forgive even more student loan debt. Biden is mimicking the unconstitutional actions of the first Democrat President, Andrew Jackson, who openly defied the Supreme Court and forced the migration of Native Americans to Oklahoma. Jackson infamously said: the Supreme Court made their ruling, let’s see them enforce it.

Robert Minninger

I propose Palm Beach admit a computer error and reassess Mar-a-Lago from $18.2 million to its “real” value of a gazillion dollars, billing Trump for back taxes to the date he first recognized the mistake and used the “real” value on a loan document. As a man of high principle, Trump should recognize this is fair to his fellow Palm Beach taxpayers, and comply. (God, I’m laughing just writing this.)

Dems choose candidates who are incompetent and enact policies that are disastrous because they no longer rely on courting voters, they rely on acquiring ballots!

Righty Tighty

Nothing says ban assault rifles, like five school officers, eight federal DEA officers, 13 US marshals, 16 sheriff deputies,25 Uvalde officers, 69 officers of nearby law enforcement, 91 state police officers  plus 149 US border patrol agents being scared of one teenager with an AR-15 in Uvalde. Source: official report of the Uvalde massacre.

Jay Miller

Biden allowed Iran to attack U.S. forces with impunity. On Oct. 7, Iran’s proxy Hamas killed more than 30 Americans during its attack against Israel. Since then, Iran’s partners in terror have carried out attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq, Syria and the Red Sea. Yet Biden has imposed no cost on Iran, sending a message of weakness that invites more attacks.

Re-Pete

To the radical republican sound offers stuck in your faux news echo chamber, a full 93 percent of likely Democratic voters and a majority of likely independent voters agree that the prosecutions of Trump are not politically motivated, according to a recent Times/Sienna poll, that is a critical block of support Trump would need to win. Radical Republicans are the minority, you will lose again if you don’t expand your base.

Patriot54

Poor Jay Miller. We’re wondering how he manages to make it through each day without his head exploding from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Comrade Miller can’t comprehend the fact that Trump has dozens of businesses that generate revenue, while Joe Biden has never owned or run a business, but yet as a 50-year public servant, he’s a multimillionaire, owns million-dollar vacation homes, and “needs” 22 LLC’s to shelter his income from the IRS.

Rug

Philly may have a new mayor, but it’s business as usual in The City of Brotherly Dictatorship. The radically progressive democrat activist Philadelphia District Attorney is now suing to remove laws that limit his authority. And the left loves to say Republicans are a threat to America’s democracy. Sheesh!

Peaches

Patriot 54 mentioned that under Trump the debt rose 7.8 million. No mention of the Millions of worthless dollars printed under Biden. Every time there is a mention of Government debt they show $100 bills being printed so fast you can hardly see them going through the printer. Why not question the Biden debt of millions with worthless money printed? Time the Government cuts back on all the giveaway programs that buy votes.

Let’s get one thing straight snowflakes, Harvard’s president Claudine Gay resigned because of her own racism, not because of racism against her. She’s a lifelong beneficiary of affirmative action who knows nothing other than entitlement. Typical liberal Democrat academic elitist. God Save the Queen!

Brandon

A friend handed me a photo and said, “This is a picture of me when I was younger.” I said, “Buddy, that’s every picture of you.”

Bill Wilson

I just saw this help wanted ad posted on the Biden White House website: “Educators needed to help teach American pronouns to foreigners who’ve recently breached the U.S. southern border. A valid Democrat voter registration card is required but no qualifications or formal experience needed.”

The Snarky Conservative

If you’ve ever been called a “conspiracy theorist,” you’re probably owed an apology about some issues!
