If there’s anything the Left hates more than Donald Trump and MAGA, it’s the US Constitution. They’d like to change our republic to a democracy, and if they hadn’t been sleeping during civics class, they’d know our Founding Fathers already solved that problem with a republic. I’m well aware of their wants. They want New York and California to control America, and they’re willing to blow up the system to achieve it.

Interesting article by Tom Hylton on vaccines. You can see where proven vaccines are important, such as polio and others, but with all the new vaccines, I think we are overdoing it with no 100 percent results. Everyone was on the COVID-19 vaccine, but many still had COVID-19. Are we overdoing it on our bodies because of the drug companies? Every other commercial on TV is another drug advertisement.
I have a suggestion for The Mercury if they want to stem their ongoing subscription hemorrhage — try factual, fair, and balanced reporting. Maybe start lightheartedly with a second featured daily cartoon on the Opinion page that makes fun of Democrats. Call it “Cartoonist’s Take 2.” Readers are sick of The Mercury catering to the progressive leftwing establishment. You do know they’re the minority, right?

Jim Atlas, all politicians have trouble with specific truths. KC, although it was political shrewdness to delay Medicaid cuts until after midterms, it was an act of cowardice by Republicans. Len, the price of eggs, just like gasoline, is based on supply and demand, not who is president. More chicken flop. I will not read or respond to any posts not identified.

I remembered seeing on the news after the Hamas raid on Israel, the crowds in the streets welcoming them back like conquering heroes, much like the Eagles after the Super Bowl. The Palestinians got what they deserved. War is hell.

After reading for weeks that the BBB will hurt the working class and help the rich, it was quite enlightening to read your commentary article on this, in the Aug. 15 edition. I won’t repeat the details here, but the next time one of our “friends” on the left yet again states this bill will bankrupt us, they should read it and either keep their mouths shut or prove what they’re reading is a prevarication.

Wondering why some Sound Off TDS delusionalals like Diana and Joe Frank are calling for an end to partisan name-calling, but then launch into a tirade of vile insults aimed at Trump supporters? It’s because they suffer neurological side effects from what’s known in the medical community as “Hypocrite’s Whiplash,” which comes from trying to stay dedicated to the MAGA resistance while also being bombarded with nonstop daily news of more glorious Trump accomplishments.

When Jimmy Carter purchased the teachers’ union’s endorsement in 1979 by establishing the Department of Education, the USA was #1 in education worldwide. 46 years and 4.1 trillion dollars later, the USA is #40 worldwide. We are, however, #1 in cost per student. Recently, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo named who he thought was the world’s most dangerous person. It’s not Putin, it’s Randi Weingarten, head of the USA’s largest teachers’ union.

Misinformed Minninger, once again, you’re dead wrong — those disastrous job numbers are Trump’s fault, not some “revision.” Under his administration, economic chaos, mismanagement, and failed policies tanked employment. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is just reporting reality, no MAGAt spin needed. Keep defending him while reality hits you in the face — it only proves how consistently wrong and deluded your cult has become.

It begs asking: Why are all the lies, witch-hunts, hoaxes, satires, defamations, false accusations, and fake news articles all aimed at just one person — Trump?

The USA imports twice the amount of coffee as the entire rest of the world, combined. Wait for the outcry on coffee prices when all the tariffs come to fruition! I hear mushroom coffee is good for you.

The commentary by Robert Reich in The Mercury is typical of the Democrats. He was nothing but trouble in the Clinton administration and still sounds like trouble to this day. Why do we need a Sanctuary Community to protect Illegals that don’t belong here? If they want to be part of the United States, let them come in legally, not as Illegals. Typical Democrat thinking by Reich.
In spite of all his critics, in just eight months, our president, Donald J. Trump, has established himself as a peacemaker and the most popular, powerful, and politically influential person on the planet. What a contrast between the last administration, when we didn’t even know who was running the country, to a person of Trump’s stature who leaves no doubt as to who is in charge. Get behind him, America, the man is a winner!

Joe Frank, you sound amazingly like the Moderate. You ask why we talk about Biden. I will answer you. Biden has so damaged our country that it will take the next 4 years to clean up his mess. All the money being spent on deporting illegals could have been avoided by just securing our borders. The Democrats’ Inflation Increasing Act caused interest rates to increase, crippling the housing industry. Etc. Etc..
Following the Democrats’ mainstream media’s publishing of the location of DHS Secretary Noem’s Washington, D.C., residence, she has faced vicious doxxing on the internet and a surge in death threats, including from the terrorist organizations, cartels, and criminal gangs that DHS targets. Due to threats and security concerns, she has been forced to temporarily stay in secure military housing. Nevertheless, she persists. Such fearlessness and commitment have never been demonstrated by a Democrat public servant.

Kudos to the American Academy of Pediatrics for going against whacko Robert Kennedy, the least qualified person to be on Felony Don the Lying Con’s cabinet. Contradicting nut job Kennedy’s advice on COVID shots for kids. Keep our kids safe and away from anything this fool suggests.

Wow, what a summit meeting. Nothing! Big mouth was going to get the deal done. Get ready, my neighbors. If there is something in it for Trump, he will sell our souls that he does not own to the devil. He doesn’t care about ending the war. He only wants his name heard all over the globe. Shame on you who put him in office.

Most MAGA believers are hypnotized by some with big megaphones. Those influencers push slavish belief in Trump because they love Trump’s core principle: “Lie, cheat, and steal; ignoring rules gets you what you want.” The constant drumbeat that all disagreeing are minions of Satan is their standard “go to” move. BTW, despite historical flaws in mainstream news coverage, MAGA (a minority) ignores the MSM at its peril. Americans won’t allow that kind of society.
The same Commissioner of Labor Statistics who routinely inflated Biden’s job numbers — giving the mainstream media fuel for glowing headlines, only to later revise them downward with little attention — is now underreporting Trump’s job numbers. Once again, the revisions quietly come later, but only after the damage is done. In the corporate world, CEOs fire CFOs for manipulating data like this. Trump is America’s CEO — he deserves the same standard of truth and accountability.

America is getting better all the time … Jimmy Kimmel has now joined Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell in becoming citizens of foreign countries! What a joy it is to witness Donald Trump’s torrid pace of dismantling so much of the liberal crap that we have been living under for far too long in America. Much to the chagrin of liberals and progressives everywhere, the man is doing everything he can to make America great again.

I got ribbed unmercifully by my friends after they saw a bunch of Kamala Harris T-shirts in my garage. I finally got them to stop after I explained that I bought them for 25 cents each online, and they make great rags for oil changes and washing cars.

I heard there’s a new “Bernie Sanders” drinking game in colleges. During Bernie’s speeches, when he mentions “free stuff” during a speech, you chug someone else’s beer!
