We have a critical election in November, which provides the opportunity to remove 3 activist judges who have severely damaged Pennsylvania. Donohue, Dougherty and Wecht are bad news and must be voted out! During Covid-19, then Gov. Tom Wolf took actions that clearly exceeded his constitutional powers, and these 3 ruled in his favor at every opportunity. They also gave us redistricting in 2021 that handed the PA House to the Democrats. Vote No!

Remember right-wing frothers making an issue over Hunter Biden’s paintings? Pfft! Trump and kids bring in billions on a Monday and more billions on Wednesday via crypto, a money launderer’s dream come true. Open a private influence club in DC, starting at $500K to join. Use $40B in tax dollars to bail out Argentina and save Trump’s buddies’ private investments. But they’re business people! Right-wing now whitewashes in-your-face corruption. Sickening, blatant hypocrisy.

“Bloody noses, furniture thrown in the classroom, a pregnant teacher kicked in the belly, ‘unspeakable obscenities,’ ribs broken by a student, a teacher injured so badly required surgery, students choking other students, death threats, students put into restraints, and children scared to go to school.” All this at Ringing Rocks Elementary School. Imagine these kids as teenagers. Where are the parents?

Joe Frank continues to make a fool of himself. My account was censored on Facebook during Biden’s reign of censorship for posting about mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations, and Ivermectin was an effective treatment. Turns out Joe Biden was wrong about the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, and Ivermectin was effective for treating COVID. Both Twitter and Google were pressured by the Auto-pen.
Brian Roberts. Should the Chairman/CEO of Comcast be invited to testify before Congress about how his media properties, e.g., NBC/MSNBC, could have been so wrong on a host of subjects, ranging from Trump/Russia collusion to mRNA jab efficacy? To the best of my knowledge, there have been few, if any, retractions. Like Mark Zuckerberg (Meta/Facebook), was Roberts compelled by the government to censor and/or distort news of public interest?

Responding to Lefty For The Children on homeschooling, first, you evidently know nothing about homeschooling. My grandchildren participate in all the same school activities in their district as the other children do, and also in community activities. You make it sound like they are isolated. My son pays the same taxes you do for public schools and pays extra to homeschool without tax relief. One in four homeschool children is from a Democratic home.

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says, “You cannot trust Republicans.” That is hilarious, coming from a man who said “Joe Biden was sharp as a tack,” who said the border is secure, who said the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) would make healthcare affordable, and the Inflation Reduction Act would bring down inflation(lie of the century).

It’s a shame that the great state of Pennsylvania has come to the point where our elected leaders can’t agree on an annual budget just because the Democrats won’t agree to common-sense budget policies, just because they’re being proposed by Republicans. Democrats stand for nothing other than opposing everything Republican. And the Democrats wonder why they’re the minority and falling fast. Dems be tripp’n!

So the politicians aren’t interested in someone trying to make their streets a little safer; in fact, they’re upset if someone even wants to try to do that. On their job description, it says, keep the citizens safe. And MSM and other politicians will tell us Trump is at fault. Just stop for a moment and give it some thought. It’s moronic! The country is run for the citizens, not for political optics.

After 9 months, the Senate finally confirmed Hung Cao as Secretary of the Navy 52-45. Shame on the Democrats for their racism that showed through in their votes against this man.

Thank you to the generals that Hegseth flew in on our dime, who sat stoned-faced while he tried to dazzle them with “genius” strategies from his new book. Then they refused to applaud Trump, even though he practically begged them to. Our president, who told them the next war they fought would be on their own soil, and said it’s a shame Democrats wouldn’t be wearing uniforms, so they would know who to shoot.

Could one of you Democrats on Sound Off please explain what is racist about putting a sombrero on Hakeem Jeffries’ head? Geez, can’t Democrats take a joke? After all, Democrats have been calling Trump, and for that matter, all Trump voters, fascists, white supremacists, bigots, xenophobes, deplorables, trash, smelly Walmart shoppers, haters, for years now.

LOL at an anonymous comment saying that Republicans do burn things down and riot. The comment pointed to January 6 as proof. I saw no fire that day, and I saw a mostly peaceful protest where the only person killed was an unarmed Air Force Veteran named Ashli Babbitt by a cowardly police lieutenant. Compared to the continuing riots by Democrats, it is a pimple on an elephant. Give me another example.

My thoughts on gender: Tell me how you want to be addressed, and I will call you that. Anything else is none of my business. Simple — Respectful — Humane.

I ask you, who was right about the Mexican Border with the USA? Joe Biden and the Democrats or President Trump? The same is true on so many other issues. I am especially happy with his policy that designated drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Democrats are, as usual, opposing this common-sense policy.

Diana, bless your heart, nobody fears immigrants. This is what we fear: 15-20 million illegal, unvetted border jumpers Biden and Madeleine Dean allowed! A tractor-trailer driver in Florida making an illegal U-turn on a turnpike, killing three, or a drunk driver in NJ is killing a mother and a 3-year-old! Both illegal aliens couldn’t read, speak understand English, and getting a license and CDL! What family would put in the victim’s place?
Just the facts!
I have a friend who recently bought a house that needed some home improvements. When he broke through the drywall, he found a room that was completely furnished! Then he remembered, ” I bought a duplex!”
