The world lost another good one. The Ernman, as he was known to Sound Off readers, died suddenly a few days ago of a double aneurism. He got to see Trump win the election, so he was happy. He was an ambassador of pickleball and you could find him on the courts almost every day. He loved writing into Sound Off. He always ended by saying Make America Great Again! RIP Ernman.
The folks of MSM are just doing what their bosses tell them to do, and their bosses don’t really care about the US citizens, plus they are billionaires and don’t have to cater to us. Let’s hope some new ideas come out and we aren’t deluged with the same old nonsense. But I think we’ll still hear that Trump is no good rotten, even though we just voted him in. Cross your fingers!

Like Trump, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg considered Roe v. Wade poorly decided and predicted its reversal. We will soon learn if the national abortion ban forewarning by Democrats was simply an electioneering tactic. Trump has consistently made the case that the matter is a state issue. Most states concur that the viability of the fetus should be the determining factor in purely elective procedures. Europe is similarly disposed.

I am very proud to say I voted for Donald Trump and even prouder that Trump said last night that he was going to end the sex-change mutilation of children in the USA. Kamala Harris never condemned these surgeries. Adults can do whatever they want with their bodies, but no child should have their bodies permanently altered with a sex-change surgery.

There was more accomplished in the past 2 weeks than in the last 4 years. This must be the hope and aspirations Kumala Harris was talking about in her word salads.
President-Elect Trump nominated RFK Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. For too long Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies, who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation about public health. As you know, I have been highly critical in my comments over the last 4 years and now we will get to the truth. Make America Healthy Again. Go, Trump!

Calm down, Democrats. Trump’s Pete is more qualified than Biden’s Pete was. Robert Kennedy is going after those big greedy corporations for nasty food additives. Isn’t that what Democrats want? If I were the Democrats though, I would really be worried about Matt Gaetz as AG. Those illegal wiretaps, and having the FBI monitor School Board meetings are going to be history.

Nearly half of voters in Kamala Harris’ home state of California say they would be open to supporting her if she decided to run for governor in two years. 46% of Golden State registered voters said they would be very likely or somewhat likely to back Harris for governor, according to a poll from the University of California at Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times. California deserves her.

Don’t understand anyone not getting the Gaetz AG pick. It’s a test of the future Republican Senate; who’s loyal only to Trump, and who gets investigated by the DOJ. BTW, the election is over. Supporters parroting Trump’s lies are about brainwashing the public to accept more lies. MAGA types castigate Harris for not conceding instantly, and still lie about Hillary (she did concede). I’m still waiting for Trump to concede the 2020 election.
Lefty Lucy, you must be as much of a nutjob as the kid who took shots at Trump and killed and wounded innocent people. Get your head into the sun and realize Harris lost and it traveled down the ticket. It was a mostly fair election. Trump won. I’m not thrilled, but I move on, you should too.
The Moderate
As he promised, Don the Con has made some truly idiotic nominations for critically important positions. Hegseth has zero management experience. His only qualification is being a MAGA sycophant. RFK Jr. as Health Secretary? Is this an “SNL” skit? Sadly it is not. This loon wants to remove fluoride from drinking water, which has been in place since 1960, all based upon a conspiracy theory. He’ll likely gut Medicare. Many of you voted for this, now we’ll all feel the pain.
American taxpayers kindly gave our hired public servant Kamala Harris the past 3 months off from work so she could make an embarrassingly unsuccessful run for President (and waste over $1 Billion in the process). Now that the shellacking is over, why isn’t she back to work? It’s not like she’s not in a position to deliver at least a few of the things she promised during her sabbatical. Get back to work woman!

It’s hard to believe, but the two Democrat county commissioners in neighboring Bucks County voted to count undated, misdated and other ineligible mail-in ballots in the upcoming recount of the Casey-McCormick Senate race. This is in clear defiance of the law and the PA Supreme Court’s ruling on the matter. Hopefully, the courts will step in and block this unlawful action. Better yet, these two donkeys should get a little time in jail!

Yes a record number of voters in 2024, let us see who shows up for the next election.

A priest, a general, and an engineer went to the guillotine. The priest asked to die face up, to look toward Heaven. The blade stopped an inch from his neck. With no double jeopardy, they released the priest. The general wasn’t religious but also asked to die face up. The blade stopped an inch from his neck and he was released. The engineer also lay on the guillotine face up. “Oh,” he said, “I see the problem.”

Recently, at a bookstore, I asked the clerk, “Do you have Donald Trump’s new book on how to deport illegal immigrants?” She said loudly, “Get out of here and don’t come back!” I replied, “Yes, that’s the one. Do you have it in paperback?”
