Congratulations to all the Sound Off Trump supporters. I hope he can deliver on all his promises without making things worse. Kamala flew on the wings of abortion rights and failed to connect with the suburban voters. Here’s to hoping that we have better offerings from both parties in 4 years. I’ve lived through 4 years of Biden’s questionable policies, hopefully, Trump doesn’t turn this into the retribution term.
The Moderate
Now we know what happens when poll watchers are in every polling place in Pennsylvania.

I guess Jay Miller, Patriot54, and Lefty are going to be happy about their 401(k)s now that President-Elect Trump’s victory is affecting the Dow Jones by 1,200 points and climbing. I know I am happy!

It’s gratifying that Pennsylvanians decided to turn the page on the failed policies of the Biden-Harris administration, but it’s still scary that so many in our area voted for Kamala Harris. Harris didn’t get a single vote in the Democratic primary. She facilitated the illegal immigration of 10+ million aliens into our country, and her plans were so radical and leftist that she refused to discuss them openly.
Robert Minninger
To the vandals who destroyed the Trump signs on Election Night. He won and thank God.

Well, America has spoken a twice impeached, convicted felon, convicted sexual abuser has been elected as president. To all the kids out there it’s ok to break the law because you too can become elected to the highest office in the land. Enjoy the rest of 2024 and the first nineteen days of 2025 because the chaos and retribution and Project 2025 will be here. Lord help us all.

As a lifelong Democrat, I hope our party learned an important lesson from their misguided and reprehensible actions over the past four years. Whether they let Biden run or undemocratically appoint Harris as the party candidate at the 11th hour as they did, Donald Trump and his campaign would have imploded if left to their own devices if the Democrat Party didn’t unfairly over-prosecute Donald Trump or made two assassination attempts on his life.
GeeGee
Congratulations, to the all-time great President! “Trump Will Fix It.” In response to the unsigned person, Sept. 10 Sound Off, who thought they did not need prayer at the DNC, You might want to consider it at the 2028 DNC! Just saying! Now we will “Make America Great Again.”
Ernman
Waiting for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to concede the election and call Trump to congratulate him at 8 AM on the morning after. I thought they were going to honor the voice of the people — you know the electoral vote and the popular vote by a lot! Oh, that’s right, they were lying!

Myself and 2 other pieces of Trump garbage voted today for Trump. We are proud to stand with the other deplorables, fascists, racists, and pieces of garbage who support Trump. I am tired of hearing about unity from the Democrats after they called us all sorts of epithets. Your empty promises (more correctly lies) mean nothing.
R. M.
For all the talk of unity from Kamala Harris, on Election Night we saw that she was all talk and no action. She wouldn’t concede even though the race was called for Trump. America won, Freedom won, and our Republic won. Division, racism, sexism, and outright lies lost.
Michael Stern
Morning After AP Headline: “Florida on Top of Vote Count, but California Can Take Weeks.” The accompanying picture showing California vote counters all wearing COVID masks says it all. Hahaha!

I bet deep inside, Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff is relieved that his wife will never be POTUS. Now he can go back to being a closet homosexual without the fear of being publicly outed like Nancy Pelosi’s husband. Being in the public spotlight ain’t easy!
Righty Tighty
This to liberal losers little Lefty, KC, Patriot54, The Moderate, Real America, JR, and Jay Miller, I guess you Trump deranged cry babies need some tissues right now. Trump kicked Comrade Kamala and weekend warrior Tampon Tim back to where they crawled out of. You can’t make this stuff up.
Little Rebel
Americans voted for the most qualified. Finally!
I was waiting four years to vote again for Trump and against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I fully enjoyed casting my votes.
Billy G.
Can we just take a step back and discuss how the Democrat National Committee — the principal campaign and fund-raising organization affiliated with the United States Democrat Party — was allowed to override the 15 million votes American citizens cast for one candidate, remove that candidate from the ballot, and appoint their own hand-selected entrant? Let’s talk about that and what and who poses a “threat to democracy” and which party is the true “dictatorship.”

Fact Jack, Democrats say African-Americans can’t elect a white President because, if they don’t vote Democrat, “they ain’t Black.”
Cato
So, Tom Hylton, my number one concern is a secure border for my kids and their kids. There is a much higher chance that the criminals and drugs currently crossing the border unchecked will kill my kids and their kids long before climate change will. The U.S. has spent far more on climate change than any other country. Meanwhile, China and India build new coal-fired energy units daily.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump: two men with 17 children by six different women are preaching about family values. Imagine if a female did that. You can’t make this stuff up!
Jay Miller
Forest Gump said it best.
Night Light
Jim was on his deathbed. He hadn’t left his bedroom for weeks. He emerged from a deep sleep to the smell of Lena’s delectable gingerbread. He realized he hadn’t eaten anything for days. With great effort, he dragged himself to the kitchen. As he shakily reached for a piece of gingerbread, his bride turned around and whacked his hand with her wooden spoon. “Shame on you, Jim!” she scolded. “That’s for the funeral.”
Bill Wilson
One thing a guy doesn’t want to hear while comforting his wife during childbirth. “Don’t blame yourself, sweetheart, this wasn’t your fault!”
