I saw the article about the Keim Street bridge construction finally being underway. A big thank-you goes out to President Trump and the Republicans for finally making this happen.
The Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, said the protesters are showing love for their neighbors. They have different ways of expressing love in Minnesota. Shooting fireworks directly at law enforcement, shouting obscenities at law enforcement, ramming officers with cars, and on Sunday, Jan. 18, they interrupted a church service. The neighbors they are protecting? Rapists, pedophiles, and murderers. Very touching.

Voter ID doesn’t prevent Americans from voting; it prevents illegals from voting. That’s why the Democrats are, and always have been, against having a voter ID law. Dem’s be tripp’n!

Hey, Pottstown Councilman Andrew Monastra, do you think it’s right that seniors on fixed incomes who worked their butt’s off to pay mortgages off for years are now at risk of losing their homes due to school tax increases on the backs of seniors? Maybe I misunderstood you. Are you more concerned about renters? The school tax is so unfair to seniors on fixed incomes, period.

What happened to “No more foreign wars”? This orange fool pokes the beehive. In America, Congress gets to declare war. That way, no insane president can send our kids into battle to satisfy his own craven lust for power. He steals Venezuela’s oil and squirrels the profits into his personal Qatari bank account. Weird! The thief is hiding money for when he has to make a quick escape to Russia from honest American justice.
Vox Populi
We have found the problem in America. It is suburban liberal white women. They are angry, mean-spirited, who love and defend illegal aliens who murder, rape and mutilate women, who cheer the murders of their own unborn children, hate men, support men in women’s sports and girls’ locker rooms, and hate their personal lives. They are a segment of the population that clearly needs mental health counseling because they are full of hate and anger.
Pennsylvania is energy-resource rich. That noted, “permitting complexity, regulatory uncertainty, and tax policy” have made our state a difficult place to build power generation infrastructure. Some, e.g., State Rep. Danielle Friel Otten, have been rewarded for obstructing such. Without mitigating measures like those proposed in State Senate Bill 1106, we are headed for an expensive power crunch cliff.

Lefty, are the world’s problems getting you down? Do you feel tired and disillusioned? Are you upset that I stated that you have an identity crisis? My preference is to direct responses to individuals whose identities are clearly established. Furlong, Snarky and Stern have nothing to do with it. I don’t understand why you’re complaining — your submissions are printed daily, while others have to wait.
Joe Frank
His administration reports groceries rose higher in December than in any month since 2022, and he has the gall to tell another bald-faced lie to the public, saying grocery prices are rapidly coming down. He uses our military to capture Venezuelan oil and puts the money, not in the US Treasury, but in a slush fund he controls in Qatar! Tell me again about your BS outrage over Hunter’s laptop.

I hope H John doesn’t receive too much blowback for speaking the truth about the inherent dangers associated with the Muslim invasions the world has endured for centuries. Just look at what’s happened over the past few decades to Britton, France and Michigan.
Trump is obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama got one, and he didn’t, and it is irritating the hell out of him. Like a 2-year-old who didn’t get the gold star he wanted. He actually admitted that, telling Norway that’s why he’s imposing tariffs on them. He claims he stopped 8 wars. He probably can’t remember which ones. They were mostly arguments and disagreements. In the actual wars, he is helpless.
Let’s make the list everyone on the left keeps screaming about: legal American citizens “deported” by masked men in unmarked vans. Go ahead — I’ll wait. You can’t name one. Not one. Detentions get sorted out fast, mistakes happen, but deportations of citizens? Zero. Meanwhile, millions of Biden’s illegal immigrants and bad actors roam free. Reality doesn’t care about hysterical talking points.

The FACE Act makes it a federal crime, with jail time, to use or threaten to use force to “injure, intimidate, or interfere” … or with a person lawfully trying to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship. The Minnesota Attorney General says the FACE Act only applies to abortion locations. Ellison is either a Democrat liar or incompetent.
Michael Stern
Dr. Nisha Verma, a fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health, at a Senate hearing. She was asked a simple question by Senator Josh Hawley, “Can a man get pregnant?” For some reason, the good Doctor would not answer the question or did not know the answer. She was called by the Democrats as an expert witness; obviously, she wasn’t an expert on reproductive matters.

The biggest difference between the Right and Left is that no one on the Right wishes that Renee Goode were dead, but the Left would be jubilant had she run over and killed that ICE agent.
The first U.S. sale of Venezuelan oil was to a company whose senior oil trader donated $6 million to political action committees supporting Trump’s re-election campaign. Please Sound Off MAGA: Not another word about “Democratic corruption.” Your points are useless while this epic Trumpian grift continues.

Isn’t it interesting how Democrats have suddenly gone silent about the Epstein Files since their fair-haired guy and gal have been called to testify – but refused? What are we Americans supposed to make of this? Funny how Democrats and the lamestream media trumpet their much-overused cliché, “nobody is above the law,” when a Republican is called into question. But when it’s one of their own, mum’s the word!

The FBI is climbing back to being an elite organization. Under Kash Patel’s leadership, the FBI arrested another fugitive on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list. “Alejandro Castillo is the fifth FBI Ten Most Wanted fugitive captured since last year, more than the entire previous four years combined,” Kash Patel said.
Sam Tasik
For all the people saying ICE Agent Ross was never hit by Goode’s car, I guess he was in the hospital for blunt force trauma to his torso/internal bleeding from yelling at Goode. Just like Fry, Walz, and other deranged Democrat politicians, the lying MSN never waits till all evidence is in. For Fry, Republican states and cities, 50 to 60 % of arrests are made from prisons and jails, not in the communities, no riots!
“MARINE FOREVER”
According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data, tariffs are having almost no impact on inflation. Commodities, less food and energy, were flat in December and increased only 1.4% for the entire year. The Libs of Sound Off were wrong once again.

On Jan. 15, right next to Sound Off, we had the almost daily criminal pervert article. This article left me wondering if convicted sexual predator Resul Mustafa Ozdemir is one of those wonderful illegal immigrants that The Moderate and Diana defend at every turn. I guess not, because I am sure we would have been told if the pervert was – or would the writer tell us?
Jane “The Real Moderate” Batdorf
Fact Jack, men will always be biological men, but if they want to live as women, who really cares? Dot, Maduro’s regime is still in power. Trump is seizing oil; how much of that money is actually going to make it to the Venezuelan people? Barney, unfortunately, your fact-checking has to go beyond FOX, NewsMax, and OAN.
The Moderate
As ICE agents arrest illegal immigrant criminals, peaceful protesters(according to Mayor Jacob Frey) are attacking ICE agents with rocks, fireworks, and cars. Here are some ICE arrests: Tou Vang-sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl, Chong Vue-raped a 12-year-old girl, Kou Lor-rapist, Hernan Cortes-Valencia-child rapist, Abdirashid Adosh Elmi-murderer, Gilberto Salguero Landaverde-3 murders, Aler Gomez Lucas-negligent homicide. More on another day.

Please explain to me how Trump can take the money he gets by selling Venezuela’s oil and put it in a private bank account that he will manage! He will use our money to get the oil and put the profits in his pocket. Is that what you voted for?
Jay Miller
Donald Trump – He did not create the Democrats’ hate. He exposed it. He did not create the media’s bias. He exposed it. He did not create the corruption of both political partiesand the government. He exposed it.

Crying Democrats have to pace themselves because Donald Trump hasn’t even gotten to the good stuff yet!

Harvard and Yale, as well as many other Ivy League law schools, are reporting a drastic decline in enrollments. It appears that students are finding out that if you want to get rich, you don’t go to law school, you open a daycare in Minneapolis.

A guy at breakfast told me he has a flock of birds at his house that stay close together, literally touching one another, and they resemble crows. I told him, “They’re probably some of that new strain of birds called “vel-crows.” (I’ll stop now).
