The Mercury’s Sound Off for Friday, April 21 – The Mercury
[ad_1]
Can you imagine the outrage from Democrats and CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, The NY Times, and The Washington Post if President Trump had told the nation that there were no US troops in a country that was at war, but there were (in Ukraine)? Every time Joe Biden talks he lies to us. Trump is a neophyte at lying compared to Joe Biden.

C’mon, Lefty! Playing the race card? Nobody has ever said anything about Alvin Bragg Jr being Black in Sound Off! Well, except you! Race has absolutely nothing to do with it! Bragg is making up crimes that don’t exist on things that happened years ago! Things that politicians and presidents have been doing for years! Can you say, Kennedy and Clinton? This is all a stunt to create bad publicity for Trump and nothing more! A giant pile of nothing!

John Fetterman’s campaign out and out lied about his health during the campaign. Almost immediately after the election, he spent almost 2 months doing nothing and 6 weeks in the hospital. As constituents, we deserve an explanation. We deserve to know about the health of those who govern us. What medications is he on? Do they alter his thought processes? He is only one of a hundred senators who make life-changing decisions for us.

I am among those missing Dilbert in the Sunday Comics. For those who worked in business environments, it was hilarious at times. One thing that is obvious in the comic section is the lack of African American or Hispanic characters. Isn’t that interesting?

To the far right: Perhaps you are 100% correct in what you believe, and we of a more liberal nature are 100% wrong. Still, believe it or not, you are a minority. The majority will not accept your values by edict or diktat. Unless you are prepared to sway them via persuasion and argument, to compromise (I know, unacceptable to you), you will be consigned to the dustbin of history.
Looks like “Lefty” is playing the race card with his comments about Alvin Bragg, and Trump’s trial. He thinks that Bragg is being persecuted because he is black, and Trump should go to jail. Well, the reality is that approximately 10% of the population is black, and approximately 85% of the prison population is black. Who is telling others about who should be in jail? Also, Bill Wilson should not quit his day job.
Truth be Known
How did the MSM miss this huge story about Covid in Canada? The report highlights Covid hospitalization and deaths from Jan. 1st, 2021 to Jan. 1st, 2023 (after the vaccine rollout) of 39% in 2021 and 31% in 2022. Contrast these numbers with Yemen, one of the least vaxxed countries, where deaths are way down and the answer is quite obvious. Of course, it’s embarrassing for the narrative which is why you haven’t heard about it.

Hey PA democrats who voted to make Pennsylvania the laughingstock of national (even global) politics, how’s that new progressive senator of yours doing at his new job? Oh, that’s right, he hasn’t done anything since being installed in that position by the mainstream media and radical national election influencers because he’s been committed to a mental healthcare facility since being sworn in. If you voted for Festerman, you’ve earned the title “Low Intelligence Voter.”

The president of Ireland has a dog whose breed is known to be passive but it snarled at Biden during his visit. That dog is obviously more intelligent than about half of all Americans.

At this same point in Donald Trump’s presidency, coalition forces led by the United States defeated the last pocket of ISIS fighters and ended the self-proclaimed ISIS caliphate. This was land in Iraq and Syria that ISIS had ruthlessly controlled since the Obama administration.

Senile Joe’s DOJ recommends zero jail time for Maeve Nota, a 31-year-old transgender individual who vandalized the St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue, Washington. If this ‘thing’ was not trans, would he/she have been sent to prison? Just another example of the disparity in our legal system. God help us!
Pay attention to how this 21-year-old is treated for exposing what we were never supposed to know like Ukraine is losing and we have boots on the ground versus the transgender that killed people in a Christian school. Our government lies and we don’t have the manifesto of the killer — hmmm interesting!

This goes out to Just the Facts! Donald Trump certainly destroyed the respectability of the office of the President of the United States. He was involved with a porn star, he has been impeached twice, he now has been arrested for a crime, he continually lied about everything, and he denied the virus until it was too late. Oh and by the way, he tried to overthrow our government on Jan.6th.
Stay Tuned!
Hannah Marth, 26, a teacher and sports coach in the Easton Area School District had sex with a 17-year-old student-athlete from May 2021 to October 2022. Marth texted the student at 2 a.m. on May 22, 2021, to come to her house to have sex, The victim told investigators that they were “in a relationship.” Victim? Really? He voluntarily went to her house to have sex. How can he claim to be a victim? If he was a victim, why did the relationship last for 18 months?
If progressives can complain about a picture of a black woman on a bottle of syrup, or a picture of a black man on a box of rice, then normal people can complain about a picture of a grown man dressed like a girl on a can of beer. Dems be tripp’n!

Portly, here in the USA gun ownership is a right, a constitutional right. We are not Canada. I guess you also support the Canadian government’s right to steal your money, ie from the truck protesters if u don’t act like the government demands. Feel free to move to Canada. For me, I’ll be clinging onto my constitutionally protected AR 15 and thousands of rounds of ammo, here in the USA. And I could be ur neighbor.
Partiot54, do you and the other liberals in Sound Off meet to come up with this stupid nonsense or do you do that all by yourself?
As a prelude to voting rights and contrary to assurances from President Obama, tax dollars will underwrite healthcare for illegal aliens in California at an initial estimated annual cost of $2.7 billion. In Massachusetts, Rescue Plan dollars are to be dedicated to college tuition for the same Democrat constituency. One effect of such enticements is that Black Americans, per the U.S. Census Bureau, will number fewer than half of Hispanics by 2050.

Stay Tuned, “Bless Your heart”! Fox News, is a threat! LOL! A cousin and I talk politics. For the past decade, he gets the vast part of his news thru MSM, Google algorithm hasn’t a clue what I am referring to! Mention Pentagon document leaks on Ukraine or BRICS’s not a clue! Google climate change supportive searches first few pages! Fox has opposing views! Watch Mark Levin some weekend on FOX. Learn something!
Missy Miss, facts, truth and sarcasm are lost on those with narrow minds.

Joe Biden is not senile or mentally disabled. Joe Biden didn’t spend a day in court getting 34 felonies charged against him. Joe Biden didn’t spend 7 hours pleading with the 5th about his business dealings. Yes, I’ll take Joe Biden and Sound Off MAGAs can have the ultimate career criminal, Donald Trump.

Remember, a great pun is its own reword.

I’m tired of all this talk about how Congress must raise the Debt Ceiling. Who says we have to borrow money to pay bills and pay back loans? Lots of big businesses, real estate developers and such, just refuse to pay their creditors or pay pennies on the dollar. If the rest of the world doesn’t like our not paying our debts, they can pound sand. We’re America.

Imagine being a child today in elementary school and doing shooter drills. Shame on you who can’t empathize nor understand what awful idiocy we put our children through so you can virtue signal by passing more meaningless gun laws. Stop with the years-old idiocy of pretending guns are the problem and not the criminal using the gun. It makes you sound ignorant. Damn it, we can do better than this folks. Please try.

Jack Teixeira, the Air National Guardsman who disclosed Pentagon military secrets, has at least one friend and supporter. Marjorie Taylor Greene said, “Teixeira did nothing wrong. He’s a white male Christian, and he’s anti-war. That makes him an enemy of Biden”.Is she nuts? If he had been described as anything else, she would be calling for the firing squad. No wonder the people in her district in Georgia are abandoning her.
We don’t have Wi-Fi at our house. We pretend it’s 1990 and actually speak to each other.
