The Mercury’s Sound Off for Sunday, March 31

Pottstown has the world-renowned Hill School. It is where the Golden Gate Bridge was fabricated. It was where the famous Mrs. Smith Pie Co. originated. It is also the home of the world-famous Sunnybrook Ballroom. We were an industrial giant despite being a small town. How in the world did Pottstown fall to where it is today? Very Sad!

Stay Tuned!

Long past time for the American people to take charge of the U.S. Congress. We pay them to work for us. It is not a part-time job for political hobbyists. We should write their job description, set their rules and duties, not them. If they fail to perform, we the people should be able to oust them in a timely manner, not wait for some distant election. Time for a new Constitutional Convention?

I hope Rep. Madeleine Dean is satisfied with the $1 million grant that Colebrookdale Railroad got with her help. I guess her grandkids got to meet Santa Claus on the train. Now she can take her grandkids to meet the Easter Bunny too. No worries, her grandkids’ fun is courtesy of taxpayers.

Billy G.

I can remember a time when the borders were secure, the world was at peace, gas was cheap and plentiful, groceries were affordable, mortgage interest rates were 2.5%, and the economic outlook was optimistic. I sure do miss those good old days from just over three years ago. Biden should be embarrassed to show his face in public.

Peaches

Video of the violent attack on soldiers at the border by illegal immigrants has been suppressed by mainstream media. These illegal immigrants were later found to have weapons. The soldiers should have used their guns. They could have claimed to have feared for their lives, just like Lt. Michael Byrd did when he shot unarmed, weaponless, Ashli Babbitt on January 6.

R. M.

Normal Sound Off readers are vindicated daily as they witness the unrelenting beatdowns being inflicted upon The Mercury’s deranged Trump-Triggered Biden supporters. The “Sheeple of the Left” hopelessly cling to the most radical Progressive Democrat untruths, show true ignorance of the free market and basic economics, hate America and Capitalism, embrace DEI, support open borders, and worst of all, believe Biden is mentally fit and doing a good job.

Barney

What explains the abandonment of “broken windows” law enforcement in Democrat jurisdictions to the point where assaults on police officers are routinely dismissed? In part, the Left is invested in maintaining on the voter roles of those who otherwise would have been indicted for felonies. As with aliens who have violated our immigration laws, the Democratic Party intends to place the future of our nation in the hands of criminals.

M. Furlong

There is a very disturbing reality that many Americans have yet to accept: The greatest threat to we the American People face is not in China, Russia, North Korea or Iran … It’s in Washington, DC. Once we start looking from this perspective, everything starts to make a lot more sense.

J Dog

Parents who follow their doctor’s advice to vaccinate their kids could discover their child develops encephalitis soon after vaccination (more likely with multiple vaccines and even more likely if the child has an infection at the time) which then becomes a permanent brain injury. To make matters worse, the doctor then reports the parents for possible “shaken baby syndrome, which means the child could be removed from the home. Another risk of vaccines.

Anti – Vaxxer

Cato, do you understand the term, subterfuge? Med Tech, what do you recommend, beef fat and potatoes? Twenty-twenty, they say the J6 committee destroyed the evidence because the evidence never existed therefore no proof. BTW a billionaire who can’t raise bond owes more than he has.

The Moderate

PA billionaire Jeff Yass, who owned Sen. Toomey, now owns Donald Trump. Trump previously said TikTok was a national security threat and reversed himself after a recent Yass visit. Yass has 30 billion invested in TikTok. Now Yass company Susquehanna International, the largest investor in DWAC, is merging with Truth Social giving Trump a 3 billion dollar windfall. This is what oligarchy looks like. Billionaires and Citizen United are killing our democracy.

KC

When I was young I was very poor. After years of struggle, I’m no longer young.

Bill Wilson

How sad it must be — to believe that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, while a reality TV star with decades of fraud and exhaustively documented lying is your only beacon of truth and honesty.

RealAmerica

85,000 migrant children were lost in our country. No one knows where they are! Has no one looked into child trafficking? I don’t care what party you are at you can’t be ok with this! Biden’s America doesn’t care! These kids will never be found! Shame on us…all of us!

Dot

Hey KC, stop with the ridiculous socialist mumbo jumbo distraction. If we don’t provide tax breaks to America’s most productive citizens and corporations, how do you suggest we incentivize them to continue to create jobs that provide a decent standard of living for the majority of Americans? You honestly can’t be dumb enough to think the government can do it.

Hello Ladies. I see where there are more stories about murders and rape by illegals in the news every day. Welcome to those supporting Biden’s illegals flooding into the United States every day. This is what happens in their countries so they are moving to the US. Think about this when it comes time to vote. Is this what we want for our children and grandchildren? Close the border to all except legal immigrants.

Yesterday over 100 male Venezuelan nationals bum-rushed the border in El Paso, Texas. Pushing over a barbed wire fence and assaulting US troops. Biden “paroled” them into the USA. Only one of the “newcomers” was arrested for the assault. On January 6 hundreds of peaceful citizen protesters were arrested and put in jail for over a year for trespassing. Seems to me something is backward here.

Michael Stern

Democrats are shedding their base faster than skinny dippers. Every poll shows the vast majority of voters don’t favor Democrat policies. But the left keeps going like nothing’s happening. November will come – but it seems not soon enough. Not so long ago, Democrats were able to perceive where their constituencies’ loyalties and concerns were centered. Now they’re hell-bent on a course of action that is close to suicidal. They’ve certifiably gone off the rails!

Righty Tighty

Good news, the latest round of presidential polls are all showing Biden moving ahead of Don the Con. Radical Republicans really love to field losers. Just a reminder, you live in a blue state and are the minority party. Your radical views are unpopular in the great commonwealth.

Patriot54

In recently concluded budget negotiations, Sen. Fetterman saw to it that $368,000 would be allocated to underwrite his podcast. Such an amount would stock quite a few food pantries in the Tri-county Area.

You’ll be happy knowing that 77,000 people have been notified that their student loan debt has been canceled by Joe Biden. $5.8 Billion of our tax dollars will be unconstitutionally added to our already burgeoning $34 Trillion national debt in violation of the Supreme Court ruling and against the wishes of the American people. This is wrong on so many fronts and is being done for no other reason than to buy votes.

Greg Levengood

Apparently, you can buy a lot of votes when you have unlimited use of taxpayer money. Joe Biden is “canceling” more student loan payments. Dems be tripp’n!

Butch

M. Furlong March 24. No way to feel comfortable with mail-in ballots! In person been challenged forever, especially Dumbocrats that haul every outcome they don’t like into court! Can’t get voter rolls cleaned up, the dead will continue voting, harvesting will continue! In 1975 France, yes France, ended mail-in voting, to this day not one outcome has been challenged! In-person voting with I.D. period!

Just the facts!

I read that Kamala Harris visited Puerto Rico. In part she said this when a protest song targeted her, “At this moment in time, it is our moment to come together, to reflect on what we have done over time and to join our hands and hearts at this moment to realize that it is our moment to create a moment that will be remembered in time.” That is your vice president.

V. S.

You voted them in, use your voice and hand to vote them out. They lied to all seniors.

Night Light

When asked about his domination of the Democrat presidential primaries, Joe Biden added, “…look folks, the muskrat tents are huge. No joke. So no wonder why boat docks are expensive and can’t win at casinos. C’mon man. You and me behind the gym.”

The Snarky Conservative

Once, while visiting a nursing home with Rufus, I told a couple of bad jokes, hoping to put a smile on some of the residents. As I left I said, “I hope you all get better.” An elderly gentleman in the back said, “We hope you do too!” You just have to love old folks!
