The Mercury’s Sound Off for Sunday, June 23

Hey Bandsinger, cyber charter schools are here to stay so get used to the concept. But why in the world would you or anyone else want your always-increasing tax dollars to fund consistently failing public schools? Why don’t you want your tax dollars going to the best school option for your kids? Why don’t you want the best for your children?

Mrs. Crabtree

Went to the grocery store with my wife this week. Listened to her once again complain about rising prices. So all these folks celebrating Trump’s conviction are they paying less for their groceries or less for their gasoline? Obviously not. So how did this help them? Not a whit.

Jon

More than 3 years after the Capitol protest and still not a single person has been charged with insurrection, yet the Democrat propagandist mainstream media and the triggered TDS sufferers still like using that word to describe a mostly peaceful protest that brought worldwide attention to a highly manipulated US presidential election.

Lucas

Residents of Upper Providence and surrounding townships will see their quality of life compromised because then-county Commissioner Josh Shapiro plugged a budget hole by delivering “open space” to developers. Politically ambitious, Shapiro has a history of inflicting damage before “moving on.” As Attorney General, he gave a pass to those who foisted the Covid-infected on long-term care facilities and did little to address prolonged school closures. Thirty-four states had better onsite class attendance than ours.

M. Furlong

For the life of me, I cannot fathom why anyone in their right mind would vote for Biden. One might not vote for Trump, but actively supporting Biden is insanity.

Little Joe

It’s disappointing that only 65% of Americans believe that our gender is determined at birth — a testament to our liberal education system. But it is encouraging to see that 91% of Republicans surveyed believe that gender is determined at birth, while only 39% of Democrats believe that to be the case. And (un)Patriot54 calls Republicans “low IQ”…?? But there’s hope — the number of Democrats who have been enlightened has grown over the last 7 years.

Greg Levengood

Joe Biden is running to be president of illegal immigrants. He signed an executive order that purports to give amnesty to 500,000 illegal immigrants. While Biden did sign the order, he has no authority to grant amnesty and it is a blatantly unconstitutional action. The bureaucracy may move to implement, if it is challenged, it will surely be overturned.

Matt

A 13-year-old was raped in New York City by an Ecuadorian Illegal Immigrant while she was tied up to her friend. Joe Biden’s illegal immigrant was captured by neighborhood citizens. Out in Colorado another Biden illegal immigrant caused a fatal accident killing a US citizen. When Democrat Joe Biden talks about felons, they should be talking about the Felon who is currently occupying the White House and has opened up the border to these criminals.

Michael Stern

This meeting could have been an email…and the email could have been a thought you kept to yourself.

Bill Wilson

Captain America, you’re saying Trump offered to call in the National Guard to stop the insurrection that he started? Does that sound like something he would do? People that were close to him, and worked for him already said that they urged him to call the National Guard, and he refused. He was enjoying watching the attack. They were doing it for him.

All-knowing Anti-Vaxxer is at it again. He’s got all that information and has not saved a single life. Just leave it to Dr. Anthony Fauci and Joe Biden because they saved millions of lives while Donnie Felon was handing out bleach. Stay fully vaccinated folks because Joe cares.

Lefty

There is a man who waved a book he didn’t read, in front of a church he doesn’t attend, invoking laws he doesn’t understand, against American people he says are the enemy, threats to use a military he dodged serving, gaining power using foreign interference, building a campaign on a stream of constant lies and childish insecurity. You can’t make this stuff up!

Jay Miller

Oh, Tippy! C’mon now. Horseface, Birdbrain, Crooked Hillary, Crazy Nancy, Little Marco, Gov Newscum, Pencil Neck and so many other childish names don’t seem to bother you a bit. Do you have principles or does it just depend on who is doing it? According to 12 citizen jurors, (who understood the charges), Felonious Trump is now apt.

KC

We have been taught to obey voices of authority and blindly follow our doctor’s instructions. Now the World Council for Health is calling for a moratorium on childhood vaccines. There is a strong hint of neuropsychiatric disorders. ADD, Asperger’s, Autism, seizures, allergic diseases, asthma. I doubt the CDC will concur because of their investment in vaccines. Next is the bird flu vaccine.

Distrust of medical authorities continues to grow as basic facts about vaccine injuries are suppressed by internet giants at the behest of Fed agencies. Major pharma very much wants such reports squelched. In just two short years, Americans have lost an average of 3 years of life expectancy, notes the CDC (how ironic) in a grim report. There is a huge increase in deaths that have been spiking in middle age patients.

Anti – Vaxxer

By the time this sees print, Trump will likely have already been sentenced. My take? A jail sentence would simply further polish his self-proclaimed, “I’m a martyr!” image. I think I’d rather see community service, six months picking up New York trash, in public. Do you think that would teach him some humility? Let the Secret Service figure out the complications (that’s their job).

Joyless Behar of ABC’s “The View” just gave a lot of people a great reason for voting for Trump in November. Joyless Behar is claiming that Trump will cancel “The View” if he is elected in November. That alone would be worth voting for Trump(as if we needed more motivation).

R. M.

Hunter Biden was found guilty. No screams from his father about a rigged legal system. Just class and grace as usual. How many of us have had substance abuse problems, or had family members that did, who can relate? A lot of us, including me. Meanwhile, how many of us have paid off a porn star for an affair? Not many. Vote Blue or it’s on you!

RealAmerica

I have it on good authority that 51 former CIA officials signed a letter confirming that Biden’s gaffe today was a “cheap fake.”

Billy G.

What policies during Trump’s time in office, do you find negatively affected the country? Politicians hated him because he didn’t come up through the ranks, he never held a political office and just ran for president. Just think if that became the norm, politicians would hate that. He was his own guy, politicians don’t like that either. The people who own the media certainly don’t like him. There’s no Cult, He’s just the better candidate.

H John

Jay Miller, Patriot 54, Lefty, and all you Democrats who have a never-ending love for Biden must be really pleased that he has suggested or been told how illegals can be worked in as citizens without going through the process. We all knew this was the plan all along with the illegals he approves of. All we need are a few million more to register as Democrats to fulfill the plan for the following elections.

The Moderate is so blinded by his adoration of the radically progressive Democrat Party and his admiration of Joe Biden that he won’t admit that the leadership of his leftist party are the ones doling out retribution against their political enemies just like Third World dictatorships do. Talk about gullible!

Snappy

President Biden scheduled a full week of “debate prep” at Camp David, but the White House and Biden’s campaign team will neither confirm nor deny that any medications will be involved. 70% of those surveyed in a recent poll want both Biden and Trump to be drug tested for the debate. Trump agreed. It’s very telling that Biden is refusing to be tested!

Robert Minninger

Wearing a mask = “I voted for JoeBama.” Wearing a mask, alone in the car = “I’m proud that I voted for JoeBama.” Wearing a mask, while riding a bike = “I’m voting for JoeBama again, in 2024.”

The Snarky Conservative

There are some folks that believe Pres. Biden should be given a cognitive test. I don’t believe “he” needs one, but those who voted for him certainly do!
