The story of the pregnant Pottstown woman firing a gun at another car is astounding. What the heck is the matter with people? The woman has been charged with driving with a suspended license nine times. You have to really work at getting pulled over nine times, let alone have it suspended each time. I have driven probably a million miles and not been pulled over nine times.

After four years of the Biden Regime, the American people voted Trump into office. The Russians weren’t involved. He’s closed the border and is trying to rid us of criminal illegal aliens. He’s exposing government fraud and with all of this, the MSM stories are 95% negative. Why? Our local paper publicizes anti-Trump protests on the front page. To me, that’s bizarre!! Wow!

Jay Miller, bless your heart! It’s clear that you didn’t see the Biden speech live, as you determined, ” It was a reminder of the steady and empathetic leadership we once had.” As usual, the bumbling idiot couldn’t complete a coherent sentence! BTW Weekend at Bernie’s Biden was paid $300,000. for the appearance and they want their money back!
Just the facts!
In the May 4 Sound Off, the Taxpayer wrote about Andrew Duncan having three township jobs in Gilbertsville — Fire Chief, Township Manager and Zoning Officer. Since that, I also found out that Andrew Duncan has two more township jobs — Code Enforcement and Building Code Official (just look on the computer). Are the township supervisors trying to save dollars? No man can do all these jobs. One job per person!
Conflict of interest. It is little wonder that representatives like Paul Friel (D) are enthusiastic supporters of increased education funding. Every time budgets are raised in the interest of, say, creating Pre-K instruction, expanding kindergarten hours, or accommodating millions of “undocumented,” Friel’s party benefits despite its complicity in degrading the quality of education and school safety. You see, the NEA, with which the PSEA is affiliated, directed 98.6% of its 2024 contributions to Democrats.

Lefty, you are a piece of work spewing lies. The jet you’re referring to had a mechanical problem with the arresting gear. Both pilots had to eject. The first loss of an F18A was attributed to the carrier making a sharp turn to avoid firepower from Houthis. Hegseth wasn’t on that ship, but you still blame these events on him? You’ve probably never even been on a Naval vessel.

Personally, I think telling parents their kids that they are going to have to settle for less at Christmas because of your tariffs while you’re planning a $100 million military parade for your birthday is straight out of the dictator handbook.

To Marie L., Trump is the one cutting back on money to other countries and spending it here! What planet are you living on? To the 100+ protesters in Pottstown and the 15 in Boyertown, you’re lucky Trump supporters didn’t organize a counter protest. There would have been thousands. He’s doing exactly what we voted for, or at least trying to. You lost! Get over it!

80% of all Democratic voters are against biological men participating in women’s sports. So why are Democratic politicians fighting so hard to allow men to beat up women? Where’s the outrage and protests from the pink hat-wearing feminists who thought Trump mistreated women? Democrats sure do hate women!

Democrats need a remedial course in the U.S. justice system. If you skip “due process” coming in, you certainly don’t get it going out!
I just listened to Kamala Harris give her first major speech since being embarrassed by a landslide loss to The Donald. The Democrat Party is a disaster. I don’t see how they’ll recover within our lifetime.
Told You So
Trump just nailed a trade deal with Communist China. POTUS agreed to lower U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% down to 30%. Hoping to get in good graces with The Donald, China reduced its levies on U.S. imports from 125% down to 10%. Not bad for an Orange Convict who’s just a little over 100 days in office. Don’t you agree, KC, Moderate, Patriot54, Jay Miller, RealAmerica, JR in Limerick, and Lefty for Loonies?

I often wonder if there is anything else in Lefty, Jay Miller and Patriot54’s lives but half-truths about politics and the Democrat Party. I have other concerns about life and fairness, not only that Trump is the problem. We saw four years of politics by the Dems that amounted to continuous Problems with Biden, but had to put up with their ideas that he was in charge.
Kash Patel is the ultimate DEI hiring failure — a politically motivated pick with no relevant law enforcement experience, chosen for loyalty over competence. His leadership has been a train wreck: purging professionals, ignoring protocols, and turning the FBI into a partisan circus. Rather than uplifting diversity, his appointment mocks it — showcasing how selecting someone to check a box instead of based on merit can dismantle institutional integrity and public trust.
Patriot54
“Protecting public safety and deporting dangerous criminals has been and will remain our top priority. We will make sure we do what it takes to keep our border secure. If you’re a criminal, you’ll be deported. If you plan to enter the US illegally, your chances of getting caught and sent back just went up.” – Barack Obama
Tina Aldez, 50+ years ago, I learned about economics and every year the cost of living increases. I do not remember any year of decrease. The pandemic made the rate increase greater. Nothing Trump or Biden did could have changed that. Willingly imposing price increases on imported goods can be prevented. That’s bad economic policy.
The Moderate
News Alert: It’s official, Donny “Two Dolls” Trump has cancelled Christmas. He flat out told American moms and dads that whatever they do, rest assured, they can’t give their kids the toys they want. What a terrible man he is, for sure. God, I miss Joe Biden. Christmas was never in danger with him at the helm. Bread lines are coming Butch.
Lefty, My Kids Are Having XMAS!
The Democrats are going bonkers. They all seem to have Trump Derangement Syndrome. The Mayor of Newark got himself arrested for trying to break into an ICE detention facility. They care more about illegal aliens than they do about homeless veterans, victims of crime, mentally ill, and handicapped citizens. Remember that KC, Patriot54, Lefty, and Jay Miller are carbon copies of these crazy people.
“Dutch”
Some argue that an illegal immigrant should be deported without due process because they are already illegal. But how do you know that? You can’t determine it just by looking at them. Oh, I see.
MendaciousD
So tired of “The Moderate” claims of being a Republican. Even during Joe Biden’s presidency and the record inflation, the “Moderate” complained about nothing but Republicans. He had no complaints about Joe Biden. Stop being a pretender and admit what you are. I don’t know why Democrats have to pretend to be Republicans, but it isn’t a good look, and it is so very obvious.
Rob Andrews
For all of you who think a president who forgoes his salary is laudable, please know that this president has started a club in Washington where members pay him a $500,000 membership fee to have access to him. Grifting as always!
Jay Miller
Sorry, Lefty, but there isn’t anything positive about you.
Jim Fitch — what’s going on with you? I’ve only been reading the sound off for a while, but when I saw your name, I knew that 1 – I was at the end, and my letter hadn’t been printed; and 2 – I could count on you for a lighthearted, if sometimes groan-worthy joke or funny saying. But this week, you’ve been a little snarky, and your GOP is showing. Everything OK?

About 4 years ago, Biden had Kamala Harris take over as Border Czar. Her first action was to begin a study of the root causes of illegal immigration. Trump finished the study in 100 days. The study showed that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, RINOs, and Democrats are conclusively the root causes of illegal immigration.

I read that satellite imagery has proven that the Antarctic ice mass is actually getting larger. It’s nice to know that riding my electric bike is actually making a difference in global warming!
