There they go again. Who? The Democrats in Montgomery County. Raising taxes next year by 9%. Part of it is the Biden-Harris inflation, but another part of it is that Democrats never met a tax dollar they didn’t want to spend. The Democrats are running a $16 million deficit and are now eyeing the state surplus because they want to spend that too.

It’s being reported that “Special Counsel” Jack Smith intends to resign in the coming weeks. That makes sense since his legal warfare against Trump was a complete failure. One of Smith’s cases against Trump was thrown out by the judge because he wasn’t legally appointed. The other case was destined to be tossed, or overturned on appeal, for the same reason. Good riddance!

We lost our daughter to AML suddenly right before the election. She was fierce in her love of her children, her husband, and her job. It made the election seem so small. Priorities hit you in the face when you lose your daughter way too young. The world will go on, unfortunately.

Just remember 8 years ago, when Trump was coming in the first time. Obama, Biden, Comey, Hillary, Lynch went after Trump with the Russian Hoax and also sidelined Michael Flynn who was to be Trump’s security advisor. Everyone helped out, The FBI, CIA, NSA, and all of social media. Remember he said his phones were taped and people made fun of him. Peaceful transition? Anyone get in trouble? We need to remember this stuff!

I want to point out the Democrat Party’s preference for counting ballots that are not lawful votes. The PA Supreme Court (controlled by Democrats) ruled that mail-in ballots missing a handwritten date should not be counted. But in Bucks County, the Democrats on the election board are counting 400 ballots that do not have a handwritten date. That is fraud and illegal.

RFK Jr. is set for a pivotal role in federal gov’t., focusing on children’s health and vaccine safety. His commission aims for the best vaccine science and safest supply. He intends to make changes to the vaccine schedule to protect kids from chronic diseases like autism, ADHD, SIDS, etc. Finally, kids get the break they need, all thanks to Trump. Watch America progress in the next 4 years.

Hey, Real America I didn’t know you had a degree in psychology that you can determine what Trump is going to do based upon his past. I can’t believe he’s going to “screw” us being worth $6.5 billion. Worth that much, do you really think he needs our $69 for a bible? And exactly how do you think he will lie to us? Be specific don’t just throw rhetoric around.
Still Amazed
With all the list of things the Democrats did wrong, how can S E Cuff in Thursday’s Mercury not understand why they lost the election? She is the type of person who will vote for a party, not qualifications no matter what. She has no place in the papers showing her ignorance. The people have spoken whether she likes it or not, period.
Republicans flipped the Presidency and the Senate, plus retained the House majority. A clean sweep in what is defined as a nationwide mandate for MAGA policy and leadership. Americans are fed up with extreme Democrats who threw open the border, set inflation on fire, and invited drugs and crime to flood our communities. With President Trump back in the Oval Office, along with Republican majorities in the House and Senate, help is on the way.

Pay attention to what Trump does, not what he says. Trump hinted at a third term he can’t have “unless you (Congress) do something.” Transition hampered because of missed deadlines promising to avoid conflicts of interest. Wants Congress to “temporarily” recess, so he can appoint “temporary” Cabinet officials, without confirmation. (The new Senate Majority Leader says they’ll give it “serious consideration.”) Matt Gaetz as Attorney General? Elon Musk as “first buddy”? Watch him!
I think you were on to something Jay Miller when you said, “It was hatred that prevailed” in our recent election. Yep, hatred for high inflation, hatred for high food prices, hatred for high gas prices, hatred for open borders, hatred for DEI, hatred for a 2-tiered system of justice, hatred for the DC swamp, and hatred for the progressive woke agenda being forced upon the American people. No doubt about it Jay … hatred definitely prevailed!

Joy Reid your just plain evil.
With all of the “open space” being bought up and those properties removed from the tax base, it’s time to bid out “lawn maintenance and upkeep” to the private sector! Has to save the taxpayer money!
Wow, in contrast to Joe Biden, Trump is appointing members of the opposing party to his cabinet — people with experience and expertise in the positions they are taking over. He is following through with his promises. Democrats like RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Tom Homan, etc. Trump is going to govern in a bipartisan way.

So Felony Don the Lying Con is going to appoint Bobby Kennedy Jr as Director of Health and Human Services. Stellar choice Donnie–isn’t he a huge conspiracy theorist and claims part of his brain was eaten by a worm, oh no experience either. This is MAGA!

Christmas came early this year, and what a great and glorious Christmas it is, indeed. This is my best Christmas ever because I got everything I could possibly want for the next four years. Thank you, blue wall that turned bright red upon being enlightened. America, Love it or Leave it.

Governor Hochul of New York is doing her best to turn NY State Ruby Red. She is planning to implement a massive toll plan in New York City. Increasing taxes on the common folks like us is what Democrats do best. I wish the governor nothing but success in her toll increase.

To the anonymous poster in Friday’s paper who’s waiting for Trump to end the Ukrainian war, Trump can’t do anything until after the inauguration. Just because he’s elected doesn’t give him the authority to act until January. Are you really that stupid? You must be a Democrat!

There was a run on duct tape in Washington, DC, to prevent heads from exploding as President Trump nominated Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. Can’t wait for Gaetz to take over as AG, gonna be great for popcorn sales.

Yosemite Park had a problem with bears getting into trash cans. People suggested making the trash cans more complex, but the rangers said, “There’s a significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.”

It’s amazing how, during this election, the “garbage” rose to the top of the heap!
