After four years of a Biden/Harris administration, approximately 10% of the entire US population is made up of individuals who are in this country illegally. So don’t be fooled thinking these Democrat-organized riots against ICE have anything to do with legal vs illegal immigration. These people are demanding the end of immigration laws altogether, a return to Biden/Harris’s wide-open borders and blanket citizenship for whoever has two feet on American soil.

This is the USA, not Mexico. As the Democrats support illegal immigration, we have Gov. Newsom calling President Trump a dictator for enforcing federal Laws and protecting Federal Buildings. As riots continue in LA, one wonders what kind of people have the time to block highways. Obviously, a lot of them are paid protesters.
The recent tragedy of lives lost in Limerick. So very sad. Review: Shoplifting – felony, criminal record, could get 5 years; Refusing to stop for police officer – loss of driving privileges, different degrees up to 7 years; Felony flight serious offense, jail time, fine, license suspension; Reckless/careless driving, serious offense, age of 17 limited occupancy in vehicle is one. No one deserves what happened! It could have been avoided if they had just stopped! Consequences to actions!
Diana, bless your heart, where to start? In most blue states, all that’s needed to get Medicaid, SNAP, and EBT is a driver’s license, freely given out! Like Mohamid Soliman, Biden’s illegal alien on an expired tourist visa who torched fourteen Jewish American’s he had one! Illegal aliens are stealing Medicaid, EBT, SNAP, and school district taxes as they don’t belong here!! You quote Institute Taxation Economic Policy LOL!
Just the facts!
Everyone should take an hour of their time to listen to the Joe Rogan podcast with FBI Director Kash Patel. I promise it will enlighten you to all the corruption in our government. He is filling in Joe Rogan on everything from gov’t bureaucracy to the Russia Hoax, and it’s mind-blowing stuff. This is a must-listen.
Retractions. There was a time when news organizations issued corrections for errors in content. These days, those occasions are rare. A case in point? Covid “vaccines.” Emergency use authorization for mRNA jabs necessitated the denigration of miracle drugs like Ivermectin, a therapeutic labeled “horse paste” by the media, a drug that could have saved lives. What Big Pharma knowingly delivered a year after Covid detection were ineffective concoctions replete with adverse effects. Retractions? Unseen. Unheard.

Man, our friend Robby Andrews came away a little salty the other day. Going hard after “The Moderate” because he dared to diss Pete Hegsbeth. The Bronze Medal used to be a prestigious honor. Now it’s being used as a “participation ribbon” for every schmo in the service. Petey was in the service, but it was only the National Guard. He’s not a fighter, Rob. You were duped, but what else is new?

Did you notice that Democrats writing Sound Off Letters are almost exclusively using name-calling to attack opposing points of view and Trump? The name-calling is embellished with outright lies. Friday, TACO made an appearance across 3 separate letters — quite the coincidence or coordination. The coordination was pretty obvious.

I would love it if someone in the mainstream media would just once ask an ICE protester if they know the difference between illegal immigration and legal immigration.

Sharp decline in diesel fuel prices since Trump was elected. My business is dependent on my controlling my expenses, and I track this closely. Same with heating oil. Many other expenses that I deal with every day have declined in the last 3 months. Not huge, but nevertheless, they have declined. If you can’t see this, you aren’t being objective — Moderate, I am talking to you.

Well, that didn’t take long. Just a few months after getting embarrassingly trounced by Donald Trump in a historical landslide election loss, DEI Kamala is back to her old ways of defending rioting anarchists and condemning the enforcement of law and order. This is the Democrats’ high hope for taking back the presidency in 2028.

Come on all you communist, socialist protesters, it’s not that hard, there are plenty of governments around the world that are just that, take your pick, board the plane and live there, stop scumming up our beautiful USA with your absurd views.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office downplayed the anti-ICE riots gripping Los Angeles, likening them to sports celebrations that notoriously break out in Philadelphia after an Eagles victory. Greasy Gavin Newscum doesn’t recognize the difference between celebratory shenanigans and anti-American domestic terrorism. What a Leftist douchebag!

Trump’s made-for-TV publicity stunt in L.A. is costing taxpayers $134 million. The National Guard has no assignments, no place to stay. Guess Trump didn’t think this through. But it looks good on TV. To him. Millions more for his stupid birthday party. We could have gotten him some toy soldiers and tanks and saved a lot of money. He’s spending money like a drunken sailor on things that we don’t need.
There was a Sound Off post within the last week claiming the Democrat protests are peaceful. On Saturday, there was a violent riot in LA, instigated by Democrat leaders, where the protesters attacked ICE agents. Democrat leaders who have been complaining for 4 years about a 6-hour or less protest in Washington, DC, are silent. In addition, Kash Patel’s home has been swatted. It is a lie that Democrats are peacefully protesting.

Jay Miller, NPR & PBS Editorial Staff is 87 Democrats – 0 Republicans, therefore I want $0 of my tax $ given to them. June 14, 2025, 250th anniversary of the United States Army, celebrating veterans and active-duty service members (also Flag Day). Contrast that with June 13, 2023, when some trans-nut exposed their fake breasts on the White House lawn during some made-up Pride event while our last corpse of a president looked on.

Lefty, “MAGA all-stars” are allowed to suffer with their TDS. They may need to seek help, but I don’t know of any pharmaceutical remedy. They are allowed their opinion. I just don’t understand their support for the “evil characters.” Trump wants to be king with Homan as ice cop. Undocumented immigrants are here because they need help. If any of us stand under the Christian umbrella, it should be a no-brainer.
Joe Frank
Are you so blinded by your cultish devotion to the minion of Moloch, Trump, that you can’t see he’s using ICE to attempt creation of a military dictatorship? You have your head in the sand. Under federal law, undocumented entry is a criminal offense, but kidnapping and deporting non-violent aliens to black–hole prisons, without access to lawyers, or criminal courts, is not deporting “murderers and rapists.” He’s said citizens are next. Heed the warnings!
Vietnam approved a $1.5 billion proposal by the Trump Organization and its Vietnamese partners to build golf courses, homes, and hotels. The decision to greenlight the 2,400-acre project came as Vietnam heads into negotiations with the Trump administration in the hope of avoiding the 46% tariff rate that is due to take effect in July. All of the outrage over Hunter Biden was so hypocritical if you’re OK with this grift. Right Sheep?

Can any Trump-deranged Sound Off oddball name a single fact or example that backs up your comments that President Trump and his administration are committing “acts of horror” on the American public? All I hear and read are fabulously positive achievements coming out of the Trump Oval Office, such as securing the border, deporting illegals, restoring trade balance, exposing and reducing waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending, etc. State some facts or shut up!

Hey Democrats, you created the precedent for prosecuting former presidents. So now take a seat, it’s our turn.

KC, it only took me a minute to fact-check your false claim that Arizona wasn’t removing 50,000 non-citizens from the voting rolls. The Associated Press, which won’t ever be confused with a conservative news outlet, ran a story that confirms that there were hundreds of thousands of voters on Arizona’s voter rolls who were not confirmed as citizens.

As the situation in California unfolds, don’t ask yourself, “What illegal decision will the felon president do next?” Ask yourself what the American people will do about it. This authoritarian regime told us that this is the plan. Project 2025!
Jay Miller
The Moderate laughably claims that “businesses will stop time and a half” if Republicans eliminate taxes on overtime pay. He would sound a little less silly if he did some research for his posts. The Fair Labor Standards Act has mandated that businesses pay workers for overtime for almost 90 years.

So glad to see that the so-called Pride Ponth is not being acknowledged by the White House. I don’t care what you do in your bedroom, just keep it to yourself because I don’t want to know. Your proclivities are none of my business and don’t make it my business, because you may be offended by my response.

As a loud and proud MAGA alpha patriot, I love seeing the Democrat Party allowing their dysfunctional family leaders to be out and about in public, making deranged speeches about Donald Trump. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Gavin Newsom, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, et al, are the poster children of today’s 21st-century Democrat Party, and they undoubtedly guarantee the glorious future of the Republican Party.

Democrat /Marxist AOC’s critique of the Musk-Trump kerfuffle included this, “The girls are fighting” — proving that Democrats still can’t define a woman.

We should not complain about the comments made in “Sound Off.” Remember, if not for the First Amendment and freedom of speech, we’d never know who the “idiots” are!
