The Mercury’s Sound Off for Sunday, Sept. 17

Owen J. Roberts School District has limited payment for entrance to their football games to a QR Code on a smartphone. They also will not accept cash for their food stands. How many OJR school taxpaying senior citizens were turned away because they do not use these modern technologies? There should be a taxpayer’s class-action lawsuit filed against OJR for discriminatory practices against senior citizens! They came to see grandchildren perform!

Dr. Jimbo

Does anyone agree that the middle school principals should take turns being monitors on the bus with the unruly kids? Maybe a petition to do so is in order!?! Parents/guardians should have accountability also, perhaps fines … or parenting classes. Students acting out should be barred from the bus automatically, first offense one month, second offense … walk for the rest of the school year. Stop the coddling!

The Observer

Headline: “Upper Pottsgrove hides locations of report’s alternative town complex sites” Make your voice heard and attend the Board of Commissioners meeting on Monday, Sept. 18, at 7 PM in the Firehouse on Farmington Avenue.

How many more times will an illegal migrant hold American citizens hostage in their homes because they commit a murder and then escape from prison? Thanks, Joe Biden.

Mike S

Why would the Biden administration send a 13-page document to ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and other media stating to shut down the accusation about the Biden syndicate with the big guy Joe? Isn’t that what communist governments do? Do as I say, I own you, or else I will shut you down. Instead, they should say we are innocent please investigate. Biden sounds guilty to me! Lock them all up!

American people only want 3 things from their elected officials: transparency, accountability and accessibility. Biden won’t talk to the press, he won’t visit anywhere of consequence like our southern border, and he sat on the beach in Rehoboth while the people in Maui were struggling. America needs more than a “no comment” President who is protected by the press regardless of how bad it gets. Together, they are both culpable for the demise of America.

Greg Levengood

Under cover of inflation, climate change fanatics are dismantling your access to basic health food proteins, particularly animal meats by making them more expensive and scarce through regulatory fiat. Much like leftist regulators have sabotaged US energy independence, to prod motorists into buying expensive but inferior battery EVs. It’s all about pushing climate change theology into the science and practice of basic food production. It’s all crap.

Stinger

Kudos to Gov. Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania State Police, and local law endorsement for the capture of Cavalcante. It was a monumental effort to get this man captured. I like it when the bad guys get their due. Proud Boys, murderers and Inmate P1135809 need to be off the street. Good job guys and gals!

Lefty

The price tag for the new Upper Pottsgrove township building jumps by $3.5M and that information was only released as part of a resident’s Right to Know request. What else are they not telling you? Speak up and attend the board meeting on Monday, Sept. 18th, at 7 p.m. at Firehouse on Farmington. This has to stop!

Anonymous, 11,780 manufactured Georgia votes, yeah! Philadelphia, observers were kept from count rooms for four days! 230,000+ unsigned ballots, middle of night no chain of custody all unsigned Biden votes in truck NY tags! Pa. Supreme Court 5-2 Democrat without authority said OK! Covid excuse to, illegally, manipulate results! Mail-in destroying America! All voting “in person with I.D.” or “requested absentee” for specific reasons! 1975 France outlawed mail-in, Zero problems!

Just the facts!

Apparently, it is not enough to try to frighten the right about the possibility Kamala Harris, a Black woman, might be President. Now, influential far-right figures are pushing the fear that Michelle Obama is the “real” candidate the Dems will offer in 2024. Oh, BTW, she’s also a Chinese agent, a “Manchurian candidate,” and was born a male. But Dems are the manipulative, deceptive, evil, demonic force trying to destroy America, right?

Biden’s apologists claim it’s not his fault that energy prices are so high. They say it’s supply and demand, and they blame Saudi Arabia and Russia for cutting production. Under President Trump, the abundance of oil from the United States increased supply worldwide and drove down the cost. President Biden has canceled pipelines, increased regulations, and stopped the development of large petroleum reserves such as ANWR. The lack of supply is entirely Biden’s fault!

Robert Minninger

We now live in an ineptocracy — a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Professor Potts

What are we left with when the medical profession abandons the Hippocratic Oath, science and education standards? In Canada, the clinically depressed are being euthanized. Those with natural immunity but lacking mRNA jabs are being denied organ transplants with lethal effects. Uterus transplants? An option for biological males. Medical schools? On the cusp of abandoning MCAT entrance exams. The message being sent is that you should choose your physicians wisely.

M. Furlong

As usual, radical Republicans are trying to drum up a scandal over a report that doesn’t exist, with guidelines no one would be required to follow even if it did exist because a physician at NIH who is an expert on alcoholism said maybe Americans should drink two beers a week max. Maybe if you actually had any policy or ideas to help the middle class, you wouldn’t need this gaslighting approach.

Patriot54

Nobel Laureates John Clauser and Ivan Giaver are among 1,609 scientists who have condemned the lack of science in and over-politicizing of the climate change debate as it is rooted in beliefs and immature climate modeling. The primary beneficiaries of overblown alarmism are the relative few who have enriched themselves and the political class that they in turn have supported.

I see people blaming President Biden for the high prices of food but if Putin keeps destroying tons and tons of grain, prices, will never get back to normal Ukraine and Russia are among the top three producers in the world. American grains go to help feed the starving people of the world. (Source Newspress.

Jay Miller

Jay Miller, Patriot54, Lefty, and Moderate; I’m sure you wouldn’t blindfold yourself and let strangers feed you anything they want. So why do you let the mainstream media, the democrats, KJP, Joe Biden, his administration do it to you?

Lumpy

Our best chance for a good life is our family. To be born into a family that loves, and supports us, one that we can trust to learn and grow with. This is who helps us identify what’s good and bad, identify and pursue opportunity, and just learn to be a good person. The progressive left has taken over the Democratic Party and they are admittedly anti-family. How anyone can support them is puzzling!

H. John

There was a report a few days ago that said that only 12% of the illegal migrants in NYC had been shipped in by Texas Governor Abbot. That means that 88% arrived on their own. NYC Mayor Adams should look at his own failings instead of blaming someone else. He is a true Democrat.

Patriot45

The failure to let Darwin run its course is what has the world in the predicament it is in right now. The number of the weak and the stupid has overcome the number of the fit and intelligent.

MC923

Over 5 million illegals crossed into America from over 130 countries in the last 2.5 years. Danelo Cavalcante is just the beginning of fugitive manhunts like this. Democrats must be proud.

Otis

If at first you don’t succeed then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.

Bill Wilson

When the movie is made about the recent manhunt in my neighborhood, I’m willing to play the part of the dog handler and Rufus could play the part of the canine who took him down, or “licked” him into surrendering!
