The Mercury’s Sound Off for Tuesday, Aug. 29

The climate bogeyman is just another fraud like the COVID-19 con job for grabbing power and erasing freedoms. There’s no global threat, but even if there was, there is nothing humans could do about it since we have no bearing on the earth’s temperature at all. The world’s climate has been changing for millions of years and there is no difference between the changes today vs. changes of the past. Just a tax scam.

Truth Be Told

One year after he signed “the Inflation Enhancement Act,” Joe Biden has asked Congress for $40 billion to send another $24 billion to Ukraine, $12 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to pay a paltry $700/household for people who lost their homes in Maui, and $4 billion for border issues to of course help those poor illegal aliens to get settled in. More Joe Biden policies that take care of America last.

The Democrat’s quadrennial “Electionyearicron” COVID variant has been released. Why change the game plan when it worked so well last time?

Congratulations to the 39 individuals from 19 countries who became new American citizens in August. I wonder if the 7,000,000 illegals that are here know anything about the US except that Biden promised them everything and it would be free! How’s that working out?

Simple answer as to why Weiss was upgraded to a special counsel: As the US attorney in Delaware, he couldn’t pursue charges in other jurisdictions.

Responding to MC90210, when your boy Giuliani was asked for evidence of election fraud, his answer was this: ‘We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence,’ Giuliani stated. When Rudy Giuliani was pressed for proof of his claims of election fraud after the 2020 election, Giuliani failed to produce any. This is why Giuliani is a co-conspirator with Trump. Radical Republicans are all talk, never any substance,

It’s laughable that right-wing zealots are complaining about Hunter Biden making money during his Dad’s presidency. Didn’t the evil spawn of Donald Trump make millions too? MAGA.

More wisdom from Kamala Harris: “We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community. And as the name suggests, community banks are in the community.” As one pundit said in response: “Grocery stores sell Groceries” — that might be too weighty for Kamala Harris. God Save the Queen.

Ruth Mutter

Democrat sheeple and the DNC‘s mainstream media lapdogs are lapping up the Bidenomics drivel Dementia Joe is reading aloud from his prepared notecards. Sloppy Joe seems to think it’s boast-worthy to cripple the US middle class with 2 years worth of his 9+% inflation-inducing policies, then demand accolades when inflation goes down to 4% (still more than double than when Trump was in charge). Ask yourself why Biden is trying to jail Trump.

Little Joe

To all of you pundits who can predict the future, how do you know that our world would be any better if Trump had been re-elected? I predict that it would have been even worse based on his past performance, But just as now, he would blame it on everybody else, of course. His supporters are just as bad in Congress; cowards all.

I just heard that National Book Award winner James McBride has a new novel that takes place in Pottstown in the 1970s when our town was peaceful and harmonious. I can’t wait to read it. He explains how bike lanes and the Clintons ruined everything.

Was Barack bending over for others well before he did so for the King of Saudi Arabia and the president of China? Revelations from biographer David Garrow about Obama’s predispositions, contained in an as yet undisputed letter to a former girlfriend, raise questions, not about sexual preferences, that’s his business, but the degree to which such could be leveraged by others to affect government policy much as corruption within the Biden Family.

M. Furlong

Biden Crime Family is corruption! MSM team players ignore. Journalism is dead! Biden OK’s Putin to invade Ukraine, Biden called a small incursion! Biden sanctions Russian Oligarchs taking money yachts etc. … except one! Moscow mayor Elena Baturina paid Hunter Biden $3,500,000. consulting fee! She’s exempt! $7,000,000. Beach house $4,000,000. Wilmington estate on a government salary? Biden’s business is selling access! Not rocket science!

Just the facts!

Mrs. Crabtree, the reason principals are leaving is the fact that they have to deal with school boards, administrators, teachers and mainly undisciplined children whose parents think do no wrong. May Jiller, we all cringe when Biden makes a speech, the same way world leaders snicker when Trump did the same.

The Moderate

Most reasonable Republicans must be in shock to see what has happened to the party of Lincoln. Trump is a cult leader just like religious leader Jim Jones. Trump has also gotten his followers to drink the Kool-Aid. We all know what happened next.

Stay Tuned!

Go Fani! Go Fani! The Trump Crime Syndicate gets indicted again. This time it’s with 18 of his closest friends in crime. Fani Willis appears to have the goods on Donald and let’s hope he gets put away for good. Democracy will prevail only when Trump is in prison.

Lefty

Democracy is teetering on the brink. The USA does not prosecute political opposition. In the 3 presidential elections this century in which a Republican won the presidency, Democrats vociferously tried to overturn the election. Not one Democrat was put in jail. Not one Democrat was investigated. We have to decide now whether we are going to allow Democrats to overturn our Democratic Republic.

“Dutch”

When Trump was impeached in 2021, the Republican senators said “let the courts decide”! The DOJ has decided and Trump is scheduling court dates. The Republican senators said, “let the voters decide”! Gutless people who were elected to make tough decisions.

Jay Miller

Biden is doing everything he can to crash the economy! High inflation, high fuel, high interest. Lowered US credit rating. Low dollar value. What else does he need? It won’t stop until we have a new GOP president!

Lumpy

I understand that another Trump indictment is in the works. Another grand jury has been chosen in Washington, DC. It turns out that Trump sent a fundraising letter out to his supporters and one of the letters did not have enough postage on it.
