Julian Epstein, a Democratic strategist, says that Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Delaware, Connecticut, and New Mexico gerrymandered their states to the extent that they have no Republican Representatives in Congress. New Jersey has only 3 despite having cast 47 percent of the vote for Trump last year. He says Democrats have no room to talk about gerrymandering.

Misinformation: Incorrect information spread without intent to harm. Disinformation: False information deliberately spread to influence public opinion or obscure truth. (Translation: Evil) Disinformation is designed to mislead others, to advance an agenda. Not hard to ascertain which category a Sound Offer falls into. Who’s yelling the loudest, or most often? Accept it all uncritically? No. It’s on you to fact-check both sides. Fight back. Find truth. MASA (Make America Sane Again).
MSM Bias Alert! The Mercury just ran an Associated Press article headlined “Vast majority of U.S. adults are stressed about grocery costs.” I went through the past four and a half years of Mercury/AP editions and didn’t find a single similar article reporting that Americans were stressed over grocery costs when the Biden/Harris economic policies caused a skyrocketing increase of 40% in grocery prices — the highest inflation rate in over 50 years.

Owning a car or truck is expensive with the high gas tax, inspection, pollution exhaust test, tires, and everything else. On top of that, we are to pay for SEPTA, which hasn’t been self-supporting ever. They always go to the state for support, which is the tax money we pay to keep our cars running. If you use the system, you pay for it in place of keeping a car on the road. Everything that goes into owning a car is taxed.
Dot — first, an opinion cannot be wrong. Fact: “60 Minutes” edited the Harris interview as all other shows do, for promo purposes. Fact: The court did not mandate the $16 million payment. It was an out-of-court settlement (bribe), so the sale of Paramount would be approved by the FCC (it was). I think Colbert’s “The Late Show” would’ve been dropped in May anyway, but it did sweeten the pot.

Patriot54 and his Sound Off unit of TDS-Afflicted Resistance Fighters are like those Japanese soldiers who didn’t know Japan lost World War II, so they continued fighting in the Philippines for nearly 30 years after the war ended. Like those mindless Japanese soldiers, Patriot54 and his band of delusional Democrat foot soldiers are hiding in the jungle of delusion, refusing to surrender because they believe there’s still a war to be fought.

Our dear Diana is in the running for Sound Off’s most TDS contributor. Dirty D is a typical hypocritical leftist. This time, she says she’s disgusted by Missy Miss’ name-calling calling but in the same sentence, calls The Missy and all Trump supporters gullible and fools and idiots. Keep ‘em coming, Dearheart Diana, you not only expose your own stupidity but everyone else who is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Beyond exceptional youth sports coverage, has local media forfeited any claims to legitimacy? With increasing frequency, printed news related to state and local events features content from affiliates of States Newsroom, e.g., Pennsylvania Capitol-Star. SN’s director/publisher, Chris Fitzsimon, described its editorial posture as no different than The New York Times. Invariably and inarguably, news organizations commandeered by progressives have been complicit in destruction of the very communities they claim to serve.

The Moderate won’t accept the fact that Palestinians elected and support the Hamas terrorists as their ruling government, and asks why Americans didn’t just leave the country when Biden was president. The fact is, Americans recognized their mistake in voting for Biden and thus removed him and his corrupt and incompetent democrat party from power. If the people of Palestine were as innocent as the moderate believes, they would have removed them years ago.

Some of the Libs of Sound Off must be very disappointed. The U.S. economy grew at a robust 3% in the 2nd quarter.

As usual, Patriot 54’s Sound Off entry on August 6th does nothing but name-call, mock, and degrade people who disagree with his/her political viewpoint. You call yourself a Patriot? You’re nothing more than a 5th-grade bully. Grow up and try to send something worthwhile other than your left-wing crap every day.

The Mercury is so disappointing. The article on page 3 of the August 2 Mercury was an attempt to normalize an aberrant lifestyle — a crowd is not 50 people. Don’t believe me, believe Jaguar Land Rover CEO Adrian Mardell. Mardell resigned after approving an advertising campaign that embraced the same aberrant lifestyle. Sales of Jaguar plunged to almost zero.
By the time Trump’s term is over, our economy will be performing just below Sudan.
It’s been 3,197 days since Donald Trump trounced Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and America has been grateful every day since.

The Democrats are screaming about gerrymandering. LOL. In Massachusetts, the districts are so gerrymandered that Republicans have no House seats. In Illinois, Republicans won 47% of the votes cast in House races but won only 18% of the seats. In New Jersey, Republicans won 45% of the votes in House races but won only 27% of the seats. Democrats do it all the time.

US Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, Democrat-Illinois, said this in Spanish at a news conference in Mexico, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” She is married to an Illegal Immigrant. When people say Democrats hate America, she is the prime example of that hate. That is a US Congresswoman saying she loves Guatemala more than the USA. Go back!

This is the consistent history lesson from across the globe: When a country’s central bank takes its direction from those in power, it invariably keeps interest rates too low for too long to pump up the economy to help the incumbent stay in power. However, the low rates ultimately ignite higher inflation, ending in recession, often years later. This is a fool’s way, and we have a fool for president.

A girl I know told me, “My boyfriend told me that guns make him uncomfortable.” She told him, “I think we should both start seeing other guys, just to feel comfortable!”
