Josh Shapiro and the Democrats have countless ways they want to spend your tax money. Recently, his wife announced that the State is stocking State Parks and Recreation Areas with free feminine hygiene products because there is “Period Poverty,” according to Mrs. Shapiro. One question I have: If you don’t have money for tampons, how do you find money for gas to travel to state parks?

An unsigned post in Sunday’s Sound Off stated that every Democrat in the House voted to raise taxes. Malarkey! They voted against a bill that would have eliminated Medicaid for many. They voted against increasing the deficit. Congresswomen Dean and Houlihan are looking out for constituents. Lowering taxes is great, but the bill was never really about that, or it would have had its own separate bill. A 1,000-page bill! For what reason?

Democrat Polling Guru Nate Silver reported this: “Among voters who report poor mental health, liberals outnumber conservatives 45% to 19%. Among those who report excellent mental health, conservatives outnumber liberals 51% to 20%.” I have to agree and Sound Off posts definitely bear those statistics out. The unhinged, mean-spirited, name-calling posts invariably come from liberal Democrats.

The illegal Egyptian immigrant, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, overstayed a tourist visa by 3 years. The Biden administration actually granted him a work permit, even though he was here illegally and had broken our laws. Then he tried to incinerate at least 8 people. Just like the 9/11 hijackers, he overstayed his visa. Democrats haven’t learned anything from 9/11.

New Senate report: Biden health officials knew about the myocarditis risk from the COVID-19 vaccine early on, but decided not to inform the public. Rather than inform us, the CDC took steps in 2021 to suppress, censor and mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for federal workers, with no exceptions. I hope with all these examples of forced rules by democrats, people can finally see the difference between the 2 parties and vote for freedom in the future.

As the DOGE leader departs, let’s look at the progress report. Not one cut was codified into law. No fraud charges were filed. All cuts were made through executive order. DOGE was a fraud!

The whole terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, was very confusing to Democrats. The Republicans recognized the anti-Semitic attack for what it was immediately, because the victims were Jews, and the attacker was yelling “Free Palestine” while using a flamethrower. Democrat Jamie Raskin called for gun control, while the attacker used gasoline, matches, and a flamethrower, but no gun. Congressman Raskin isn’t one of our sharper representatives.

Trump can only dream of drawing crowds like Bruce Springsteen. And Bruce has been doing this for many years, and will continue to draw them in. The people love him because he is honest with them. Can’t say that for Trump. Jealousy eats him up. Like Bono said, “There’s only one Boss”. That would be Bruce Springsteen. We’ll watch you fade away, Trump.
Have you heard? The Egyptian who attacked peaceful protesters in Colorado also has 5 kids here. Those kids are also here illegally. Round them up and send them back to Egypt.
The Independent
The Moderate stated that companies will no longer pay overtime if it is tax-free. This does not make any sense. Why would your company care how much you pay in taxes? They pay overtime because they need you to do things.

Musk promised to cut $2T by “running the Govt like a biz” — but succeeding only in starving 30K people to death by gutting US Aid — proves again that billionaires don’t know how to manage money except to exploit & kill low-income people. He also managed to clear his holdings of rightful investigations and penalties. Stop trusting billionaires. Start taxing them appropriately.
Patriot54
Once again, Democrats and Celebrities are stunningly quiet after the hateful attack on Jews in Boulder, Colorado. They have nothing to say about the illegal alien who attacked Jews at a shopping mall with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails. I will predict that not a single word of condemnation will be made by Patriot54, Jay Miller, the Moderate, or the other usual Democrats on Sound Off.

Joe — I never said gas wasn’t lower than last year. I said it wasn’t $1.88 or $1.98 a gallon anywhere in the country as Trump repeatedly, not just once as a mistake, claimed. Simple facts. It wasn’t even close. If you believe that doesn’t matter since the price is lower than last year, well then that’s where we differ. Fair enough. I believe it matters and that he’s consistently reckless with words.

Only in the world of Democrats would people oppose securing our country’s borders, fight against deporting illegal migrants, support Hamas Palestinian terrorists, embrace antisemitism, vilify the person who’s rooted out billions in government spending waste, fraud and corruption, dismiss the outrage over the collusion to coverup the mental illness of a sitting POTUS, condemn endeavors to level economic trade policies, and resist all efforts to make America great again. Yet here we are.

Trump and his family are selling access to the president. The optics of nakedly boosting the Trump family fortune with crypto sales are awful. Corruption before our eyes. And the MAGAt sheep nod in approval. The Democratic midterm campaign ads write themselves: Millions in secretive crypto profits for the Trump family, fewer dollars for everyone else.

Former President Bill Clinton insisted in a recent interview on “CBS Sunday Morning” that he saw no signs of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Of course, this is the same man who assured us that he never had sex with his White House intern.
Robert Minninger
President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is reviewing the list of people who were granted pardons by former President Joe Biden, amid new concerns about his use of an AutoPen to automatically sign documents, as well as concerns about his state of mind in his final months in office. Thank you, President Trump, for your valiant efforts to restore democracy in these United States.

Prior to our anniversary this year, my Bride was placing jewelry catalogs all over the house. Boy, was she surprised when she got a magazine rack for an anniversary present!
