As people were dying in North Carolina and Georgia, Kamala Harris was campaigning in Las Vegas on Sunday. Then Kamala flew back to Washington, DC, and got briefed on Hurricane Helena. Getting briefed is not leadership and it is not taking action. Kamala is an absolute disaster. Meanwhile, Trump asked Elon Musk to attempt to use Starlink to restore cell phone service to the affected areas.

At Tuesday night’s VP debate, Tim Walz claimed his son witnessed a shooting at a community center. Turns out it is likely this is another one of Tim Walz’s, to put it politely, exaggerations. His son was in the community center, but inside when the shooting occurred. Far different than what Walz said, but that is what Walz did throughout the debate. He lied about a lot.

Over the past 4 years, as our government was going around the US dropping off migrants in all of the different states, so many here and so many there. Do you think as they were doing this they were figuring how many Democrat votes they would need in each state for a majority in an election? Never a word on what they were doing or why! Do you think they’ll all vote?

It was obvious that the 3-on-1 Vice Presidential debate was not fair. I felt sorry for the beating that JD Vance delivered to Tim Walz and the 2 CBS “moderators.” The Democrats needed a lot more bodies to beat JD Vance.

This website by our Commonwealth fact checks election claims and answers frequently asked questions. Trump claimed his court cases were dismissed without the evidence being heard. Most of the cases were dismissed due to lack of evidence because they didn’t submit any evidence, just conspiracy theories and hearsay. https://www.pa.gov/en/agencies/vote/elections/fact-checking-pa-related-election-claims.html

When you import millions of Third World criminals into our country, you invite Third World problems. Normal voters get that. But deranged Democrats choose to ignore the fact that Kamala Harris has let in over 15 million illegals from Third World countries into our country over just the past four years. Imagine what our beloved country will look like if she’s allowed to serve four more years. God help us!

Tim Walz used to brag about the number of times he has been to China. During a Congressional hearing, he said he had been to China about 30 times, then he changed it to dozens of times, and most recently he claims only 15 times. You just can’t get a straight answer from Timmy Walz. Very few Americans have been to China just 1 time, let alone 15 times, I just don’t get why a guy from Minnesota loves China so much.

Folks are criticizing Vice President Harris for changing her view on certain topics. I’m curious why folks aren’t criticizing J.D. Vance for changing his views about Former President Trump. In 2021, while campaigning for the US Senate, JD Vance asked people “not to judge me based on what I said,” previously about Trump who he called, variously, a “cynical a** hole,” a “moral disaster,” a “total fraud,” an “idiot,” and “America’s Hitler.”

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Donald Trump was on the ground in Georgia helping to distribute water and other supplies. He was on the phone with Elon Musk about using Starlink to restore emergency Internet service to the area, and he established a GoFundMe account, which raised $1 million on its first day, for flood victims.

I immensely enjoyed watching JD Vance destroy Tampon Tim Walz during the VP debate. JD Vance took apart Kamala Harris on everything from the border crisis to inflation to housing costs.
Lefty For The Sheeple wishes Trump supporters would read Project 2025. Seems like unhinged Trump-Deranged progressives like Lefty For The Sheeple are the only ones who care about Project 2025. Sane citizens know Trump has nothing to do with that essay. A bit of life advice for Lefty For The Sheeple — get help.

Remember when the front page of The Mercury was talking about the homeless crisis during the Trump years? Neither do I.

I think we can all agree that Donald Trump is far too old and senile to run a country. He really should step down as the nominee. He forgets where he is, mixes up real people and fictional characters, and can’t speak in coherent sentences without a teleprompter. It’s truly sad. The RNC and Melania should stop the elder abuse.

The Mercury displayed its political bias by putting the article about the 2nd assassination attempt on Trump on page 2 of the paper. Everyone knows that if an assassination attempt was made on Biden or Harris, it would have been huge front-page news. Shame on you Mercury.
The Republican ticket is undefeated in the 2024 debates. And based on Tampon Tim’s recent beat down by JD Vance, word has it that even Walz is going to vote for Trump/Vance.
The vaccine/autism link from Children’s Health Defense: A child in the mid-1980s would have received 1,250 micrograms of aluminum from their vaccines by their 18th month if they were fully vaccinated. Today that number is 4,925 micrograms, a near quadrupling of total aluminum. Is there any wonder that we have an autism epidemic today?

As most Americans know, you are not a convicted felon until you are sentenced. So until that time comes — and it hasn’t and won’t — Donald J. Trump is not a convicted felon.
KC attempts to portray herself as a sophisticated and informed highbrow, yet her efforts have yielded the opposite. Her incessant regurgitation of Trump-deranged leftist rhetoric spoon fed to her by the leftist mainstream media, along with her refusal to acknowledge the catastrophically crippling destruction inflicted on this country over the past four years by Biden, Harris and the Democrats, simply demonstrates the intellectual inadequacy of her posts resides between her chair and her keyboard.

A bitter old man, alone with his phone at night, posting on social media all night long, having tantrums, lying about the size of his crowds, mocking others, claiming hatred for an entertainer, and making up nicknames for his “enemies” is just weird. Really weird. Like, next level weird.

Minninger gaslights again: Individual tax cuts of the TCJA are scheduled to expire in 2025; business cuts in 2028. Economists across the political spectrum say extending the cuts would boost inflationary pressures. CBO estimates extending expiring provisions would add $4.6 trillion in deficits over 10 years. Federal corporate tax receipts fell from an annualized level of $409 billion in Q1 2017 to $269 billion in Q1 2018; direct result of the Trump tax cuts.
The Democrats appointed such a talented candidate for president. The most recent accent she’s perfected is that of an inner city ghetto tramp which she displayed while addressing guests at The Black Caucus. This brings her up to 6 accents that she’s fluent in. Meanwhile, Melania Trump is fluent in 6 different actual languages. Dems be embarrassing themselves!

It seems that the leftists Kamala and Walz and everyone who thinks they are “joy” won’t be satisfied until Trump is shot and out of the race. It is a sad state of affairs for which they take no blame. It’s always the Republicans who are at fault according to them. I have never seen this country so divided as now. When will it end?

Michael Stern, the Secret Services’ incompetence is by design! Secret Service formally Treasury now Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas administrator no friend of Trump! Lack of security is by design! In Butler, Pa. most agents weren’t SS agents but imposters! Don’t believe Biden, Kamalaa, Pelosi, Schumer, Dean, etc… there praying for something to happen! The ladies of the “View” would be celebrating as Whoopi says “Trump must be stopped”!
Just the facts!
The debate showed VP Harris showing just how unfit Trump really is to hold any office. He looked like an angry old man in a meltdown! How pathetic was that statement he made about people’s pets being eaten by immigrants in Springfield Ohio, everyone shook their heads and laughed at him! Thousands of Republicans are voting and endorsing VP Harris, thanks to Trump for showing us all just how unfit for office he really is.
Mr. D
One-third of our Navy is currently serving in the Mediterranean and is constantly under missile attack by the Houthis and other agents of Iran. The Biden/Harris regime has ordered them not to respond to defend themselves. Tell me again: which presidential candidate has no regard for our military?
MAGA Gal
Vance said Trump will put citizens first when they suffer a national disaster. During Helene, Trump was golfing. He called for nuking hurricanes. He threw paper towels at the victims. Project 2025 will dismantle the agency that predicts disaster and cut funding for victims. You can’t make this stuff up!

87,000 is the number of additional IRS employees that V.P. Harris approved with her tie-breaking Senate vote. Little wonder she received the endorsement of their union. Middle-class Americans, hollowed out by the Biden-Harris agenda, will be placed in positions of defending themselves at no small expense against IRS claims or simply capitulating. One doesn’t need 87,000 new workers to oversee our 460 billionaires. They have been tasked with tracking every $600 third-party transaction.

Laughing at the so-called “Moderate’s” Sound Off. He claims that Kackling Kamala is lacking in the quest for power. That is an all-time whopper. She wants to ban guns, regulate every appliance in your home, mandate electric vehicles, abolish gas-powered cars, take over zoning ordinances, and put illegal aliens in every nook and cranny of the USA. If that isn’t a quest for power what is?
Jane “The Real Moderate” Batdorf
We have another great movie by the great Dinesh D’souza — “Vindicating Trump.” You can’t even imagine how corrupt the Democrats are. They show how easy it was for Democrats to steal an election. We need Donald Trump to change things around, and “Make America Great Again.”

Tim Walz recounted an apocryphal story regarding Amber Thurman. She died a horrible death because she took abortion pills given to her in North Carolina. The abortion did not happen properly, but the dead fetus(baby) remained in her uterus and she got sepsis. The hospital she went to waited too long to do a D&C. Those are the facts, not the lies that Tim Walz told.

I just read a list of-“100 things to do before you die.” I was surprised that-“Yell for help” or “Call 911” wasn’t on the list!
