The Mercury’s Sound Off for Wednesday, Oct. 2

The Mercury’s Sound Off for Wednesday, Oct. 2

Seventy-two hours later and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are asleep at the wheel. No federal response in North Carolina or for that matter, anywhere after Hurricane Helene hit. Lots of warnings and they are doing nothing. Over 100 dead and still nothing. But that is the legacy of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — A big fat zero.

“Dutch”


Even Snopes, the left-leaning fact-check site, debunked the lie that Patriot54 submitted to Sound Off that Trump disparaged our military men and women. Here is the real truth about Kamala Harris: As a US senator, Kamala Harris never voted for an increase in military spending, or an increase in pay for the military, or an increase in spending for veterans. She voted for every other spending increase though!

Twenty-twenty


Climate change or climate hoax. In his 2007 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Al Gore forewarned that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2014. The Arctic has 26% more sea ice today than it did in 2012.


After seeing the police officers and state troopers endorsing Dave McCormick, it makes you wonder, are they Connecticut state troopers and police? It would make sense, since he lives there, and only visits Pennsylvania to campaign.


The worker’s union that represents IRS employees just endorsed Kamala Harris. That makes sense. While Donald Trump has vowed to audit the IRS once he’s elected, the least popular/least accomplished vice president gets endorsed by the country’s most hated government agency. That tells you all you need to know about the Harris/Walz agenda. Dems be tripp’n!

During an embarrassingly small rally crowd of Trump-Deranged progressives, Tim Walz told his happy herd of mindless minions that “We cannot have four more years of this.” Why hasn’t anyone told him that his partner at the top of his ticket is responsible for the past four years of “this?” You can’t make this weirdness up.

Skully


Democrats successfully sued to keep Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, off the Nevada presidential ballot even though Stein gathered 3 times the number of signatures required. Why? Nevada’s Democrat Secretary of State “accidentally” sent the Green Party the wrong paperwork to use for their signatures. The Nevada Supreme Court called it “an unfortunate mistake” but refused to allow Stein on the ballot. Another example of unpunished Democrat election interference.

Robert Minninger


Convicted felon’s last few weeks: So, to recap, bad debate, go after Taylor Swift, stir up racism, “survive” another “attempt” on his life, barely knows the NC governor candidate after claiming he is the next MLK … none of it is working.

Patriot54


After reading Sound Off for a long time, I have yet to figure out how Lefty, Patriot54, and Jay Miller get their garbage comments printed day in and day out. Almost all of them are baseless and factless comments.

Gullible sheeple like KC willingly takes the tainted bait tossed out there by the Associated Press. The headline of AP article The Mercury published on Monday, Sept. 9, did in fact read “Trump Threatens to Jail His Adversaries.” But if dimwits like KC actually read the article they’d know that Trump actually said anyone caught cheating or committing voter fraud during the election will be put in jail. But that offends KC.

Won’t say lying, just wrong. Parroting right-wing media? [https://bjs.ojp.gov/document/cv23.pdf] – U.S. DOJ, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics: September 2024, NCJ 309335: “The last three decades saw an overall decline in the rate of violent victimization, from 1993 (79.8 per 1,000) to 2023. While the 2023 rate was higher than those in 2020 and 2021, it was not statistically different from 5 years ago, in 2019.” (2020-2021; midst of pandemic.)


Bob Casey and Kamala Harris assured us that “The Inflation Reduction Act” would reduce costs. Biden however let the cat out of the bag. The measure was never about reducing inflation but advancing a green agenda and empowering further the IRS. Caught misleading the public, both reverted to form and, without substantiation, attacked those who literally kept us alive during the pandemic. By so doing, each revealed a low regard for our intelligence.

Kamala: “We need to guard that spirit. We have to guard that spirit. Let it always inspire us. Let it always be the source of our optimism, which is that spirit that is uniquely American. Let that then inspire us by helping us to be inspired to solve the problems that so many face.” Back in my stoned beatnik days, everyone in the coffee house would have responded with a round of groovy finger-snapping.

Wavy Gravy


For the first time in history, you can say or post “He’s an idiot, and 90% of people will know exactly who you are talking about.

RealAmerica


New York Mayor, Eric Adams, is being prosecuted by the Biden Administration, because he criticized the illegal immigrant policies and open border policies. Eric Adams is claiming that is the reason for his indictment. In fact, Trump predicted a year ago that Adams would be indicted after his comments. Democrats stop at nothing to consolidate their power.

S. L.


The Moderate’s logic is rooted in pure unadulterated leftist propaganda talking points. If not, the pretend Moderate would know that the people of Palestine elected the Hamas terrorist organization to be their ruling government. So, the people of Palestine cannot complain about Netanyahu’s righteous retribution any more than American democrat voters can complain about crippling inflation, high grocery prices, open borders, record crime rates, bloated gas prices, or unaffordable rents and mortgages. Elections have consequences!

Patriot45/47


The article by Steve Roberts says we can’t survive without Immigrants. If that indeed is supposed to be true, why can’t it be Legal Immigrants? The way to go is not to let just anyone in the country but to make it easier for Immigrants to come legally by changing some of the restrictions. If you have your eyes and ears open you will realize lots of the immigrants are real workers.


Question. Is ‘Lefty, The Truth Vigilante’ the same person as ‘Lefty’, or do we have another clueless fool to laugh at?


The other morning a guy at breakfast said he missed Walter Cronkite. I said to him, “Well, he’s gone” and “That’s The Way It Is!”
