The Mercury’s Sound Off for Sunday, Sept. 24

In July and August, the climate cult claimed that “this summer is the hottest on record.” Summer starts in June and this year it ends Sept. 23. What the cult was claiming was about the weather, but the weather in the 1930s created the Dust Bowl and the hottest summers on record. No satellites to measure temps, just good old reliable thermometers.

Realist

Obama promised to fundamentally change America, Biden signed bills not caring about the outcome. Covid was made us compliant. We are now a socialist country. Need a doctor? Call an 800 number. Triaged by nurses. Weeks later, you see a doctor who is a salaried employee who gets booted for seeing too few patients. It happened to mine.

FDW

Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland was asked under oath if he talked with the FBI about investigating Hunter Biden. He hilariously said (lied) he couldn’t remember. I will tell you one thing, I would remember every detail about an investigation of my boss’s son. How about you, would you remember?

“Dutch”

It’s come to my attention that Saudi TV is now openly mocking Biden and Harris! We have now officially become an embarrassment on the world stage! Then again, that’s old news! Thanks, Biden voters! What a joke!

Puggy

Are the wrong parties being prosecuted for seditious conspiracies? Federal law enforcement, justice and intelligence agencies have been parties to obstruction of justice, election interference and the attempted overthrow of a president by employing tactics reminiscent of those that have successfully toppled governments abroad e.g. Ukraine. Learned? Those who have no regard for the rule of law, due process, a presumption of innocence and the constitution are absolutely terrified of those who do.

M. Furlong

The Durham report conclusively informed us that the Trump Russian Story was a complete hoax. But for 2-3 years we were inundated with info on that Demonic Trump Person. All MSM were in on the story. Many in intelligence knew it was a complete hoax, and still went on TV lying about it. No one took responsibility and all lost total credibility!! How can anyone believe anything the MSM puts out there?

H. John

Beneath Chrissy Houlahan’s’ matronly exterior lies an economic illiterate. That this woman has advanced degrees from 2 of the nation’s most prestigious universities is laughable. She continues to vote in favor of every damn spending bill that comes up giving us $2 trillion deficits in perpetuity. Wake up PA 6 and vote this moron out of office!

My fake plants died because I forgot to pretend to water them.

Bill Wilson

Biden and Harris are toast! Something will happen and it will keep them from running. The Democrat deep state will make sure of it just like they made sure he was installed as president. The Republicans need an even deeper state to make the game fair.

Edward

Kudos to Republican former Gov. Corbett’s recent op-ed, “2020 Election wasn’t stolen. We all must fight against the Big Lie.” He states, “We must be prepared to stand up against a repeat of the attempts at election subversion we have seen since 2020,” stating that there was no widespread fraud, urging us all, “Spread accurate information and respond — respectfully but factually — to misinformation or misunderstanding about our elections.”

Vi in the Valley

Lefty, in a recent post, you were half right when you said “Trump for prison and Biden for president.” You should have said, Trump for prison and Biden for a nursing home. Both candidates are unfit to run a country of 330 million people. Vote third party!

Maximum Age Limits

President Obama’s task force evaluating anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine reported in October 2015: “Ukraine has made sufficient progress on its reform agenda to justify a third (loan) guarantee.” In December 2015, a European Union progress report praised the Ukrainian prosecutor’s efforts to fight corruption. So why did Vice President Biden withhold a $1 Billion loan guarantee until the Ukrainian prosecutor was fired? A trusted FBI source reported that the Biden’s were paid $10 Million.

Robert Minninger

Another classy radical Republican role model: Rep. Lauren Boebert, who apparently thought it was appropriate to (checks notes) go see a children’s musical with her date, vape in public and grope in the seats sexually. Not a good look radical Republicans

Patriot54

Why would anyone shun a gas-powered car that is easily fueled, driven anywhere, any time of year, in any environment, and at any distance without worry? We don’t need foreign lithium. We have the most affordable and useful form of energy and 200 years worth of it waiting in the ground. If the market so dictates consumers needn’t be compelled to buy them and companies wouldn’t have to be bribed into producing them.

Truth Be Told

Hey Miller, Lefty, and Patriot54, what do you have to say to the millions of Americans who struggled and worked hard to reach middle-class status, only to be forced back into lower-class status due to Joe Biden and the Democrats’ economic policies?

Barney

Is President Biden a late-stage dementia patient? Or is he literally a serial liar? It can only be one or the other. But I’m not sure which is worse.

Freddy

Robert Minninger, it’s not to save pennies on your electric bill, it’s to save the grid so we can charge our overpriced, unreliable electric cars. We’ll need the pennies as we pay thousands to replace the batteries.

The Moderate

If the American people had been given a better choice by the Democratic party in the last presidential election, how many people do you think would have “written in” Biden/Harris as their election choice?

Why is teachers’ union head Randi Weingarten going to Ukraine again? Shouldn’t she stay here to try to fix our schools?

Dot

To all the women that vote for Biden or the Democrats, think about this. How soon will you be hanging cloth on a wash line when Biden outlaws the cloth dryers because they take too much energy? You will be washing on a washboard or rock because a washer takes too much energy. Women elected to office who don’t know what a Garbage disposal is. Get serious ladies. Vote accordingly.

Under the PPP, Proterra did get ten million taxpayer dollars. Biden administration pumped $5 billion of so-called infrastructure spending into EV buses! Proterra did get sales from those monies! Upfront cash or back door cash it’s still a subsidy it’s taxpayer money and Proterra still went bankrupt!

Just the facts

Democrats are extremely pro-abortion right up until birth. That has been a fact for decades. But with the presidential election approaching, once again the Democrats are trying to deny one of the basic tenets of their vile and immoral party. Killing babies just for the sake of convenience is what the “very Catholic” Joe and Jill Biden support.

Missy Miss

One hundred children contract measles. It is not a trivial disease. Unvaccinated, 100 will suffer, 3 may die. Vaccinated, none will suffer, none will die. Hardcore anti-vaxxer Darwinism: “Vaccination weakens the Human gene pool. Let them suffer or die.” What if your child was one of those hundred? Might you have been one of those three as a child? Perhaps your parents and the school boards deserve a “Thank You!”?

I think the members of the GA grand jury should be called before Congress and asked if they were coerced into indicting Trump. The question is how did the DA know what to put into the charging documents before the grand jury had decided what the defendants were to be charged with. Isn’t that seriously suspicious?

Patriot45

It is so sad that many Americans have little or no education and no common sense. Laws protect the stupid.

Star Light

I once asked my Pop why he was successful. He said, “Good decisions.” I said, “How do you make good decisions?” He said, “Experience.” I then asked, “How do you get experience?” He replied, “Bad decisions!” A man of few words, but a lot smarter than the average guy.
