Happy to see that Upper Pottsgrove finally took one of their own as police chief. Don’t know why it seems to be a problem, and go out of the area to hire someone not familiar with the area? They are doing the same thing with hiring a new township manager by getting someone to recommend a hire from who knows where.
Great economic news keeps pouring in. The rate of inflation dropped to 2.4%. The January Jobs report smashed expectations. The unemployment rate fell to 4.3%. Wages are increasing much faster than inflation, and the stock market is setting new highs. That’s the definition of winning!

ICE operation Deep Freeze in Minneapolis was a resounding success! More than 4,000 illegal aliens were taken off the street, out of the community, arrested, and facing deportation. Now on to other radically progressive left-wing sanctuary cities like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, etc., making Americans Safe Again. This is what normal Americans voted for.

MAGAs: Faith! Family! Freedom! Just not your faith, your family, or your freedom.

About 61% of illegal immigrants are on some sort of welfare payments, funded by US citizen tax dollars. Sixty-one percent! We have the Democrat Party and people like Democrats Madeleine Dean and Chrissy Houlahan to thank for it. They still support illegal immigration and the deportation of criminal illegals.

The Mercury buried the AP article detailing the mass school shooting in British Columbia on page 8 — hiding the outside the USA shooting. The story said the murderer was a woman. No, it was a male pretending to be a woman. The biggest news here is that another “transgender” murderer was killing others. These folks deny the reality of their gender. Why are so-called news organizations like the AP confirming their mythical genders?

The abduction of Nancy Guthrie is so sad. The only thing sadder is the ineptness of Kash Patel and the FBI. There are a few leftover agents from Biden, and they do a great job, but after that, it’s a big zero. Patel is way out of his league. Every time I see Kash Patel, I want to order a Cherry Slurpee. Just saying!

Trump lies to your face and expects you to believe him. A reporter asked him about the price of eggs. After the bird flu was controlled, prices came down. Poultry farmers did that, not Trump. Asked when the price of coffee and groceries would come down, he said they’re already down. No, Donny, they’re not. If the reporter had corrected him, he would have waddled out of the interview. Biggest liar ever.
Democrat politicians don’t compromise their morals—they eliminate them. There is no line they won’t erase, no principle they won’t pulp for political gain. Integrity is disposable, and ethics are just speed bumps; they don’t bother noticing as they run them over.

Finally, Jay Miller, there is something I agree with you on. Ever since 2000, Democrats have complained that the election was stolen from Al Gore. Hillary has been complaining since the 2016 election that it was stolen. And we all remember that Trump is going to declare Marshall Law and rig the elections in 2028 — just like he did in 2020, right?

Poll: How many Americans rank Trump as the ‘worst’ vs. ‘best’ president in U.S. history? Amid this year’s Presidents’ Day celebrations, survey respondents tell Yahoo and YouGov that Trump is doing a worse job than Joe Biden and Barack Obama.Folks, you will never see this on Fox or Newsmax; they will keep telling you how he is MAGA! His poll numbers continue to decline daily.
Fact Checker
Secretary of War Hegseth is being criticized for firing a Colonel on the Pentagon Staff. The brouhaha over this is wrong! What should be criticized is the lack of firings over the years at the Pentagon. Every private business fires/lays off staff frequently. It is healthy for the organization and for the staff. Many times, the firing benefits the employee who was fired. A friend of mine got his dream job after being fired.

Another transgender person is responsible for a mass shooting in Rhode Island. At some point, we have to accept that something is causing transgender persons to start shooting at others. Is it the medications they are taking or just their mental state of confusion? Accept the fact that these folks have mental issues — no guns for them.

Democrats shut down the government again. That’s all they do. That’s practically all they know how to do; they don’t work for Americans, they work and plot for the benefit of their own wealth and evil well-being. This obstructive party needs to be shown the door at midterms — changing my party.
Since 2009, over 50,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria by radical Muslims. Recently in Australia, radicalMuslims killed 15 Jews celebrating the Jewish Holidays. The radical Muslims hate anyone who doesn’t believe the same as they believe, and believe that these unbelievers need to go. The radical Muslims aren’t interested in assimilation. They want to run the show!! They’re constantly pushing their host country to see what they can get away with.

TDS Diana must have been in a coma the entire Biden administration when inflation raged at 40%. If she weren’t, she wouldn’t be dismissive of Trump’s glorious first-year economic achievements. So listen up, TDS Di and her fellow progressive morons — sit down, shut up, and enjoy the benefits of having a POTUS Trump — even though you don’t deserve any of them.

The damage Trump has caused can never be fixed. He conned American voters, and he knows it. Money he has, power he wants, fact not fiction.

Seems like we have another tranny problem. This time in Canada. My uncle’s 1972 pickup truck just died. Did you think I was referring to something else?

When AOC goes off-script and answers real questions, it is a tough call as to who is harder to understand: AOC or Bad Bunny.

I noticed my friend had a $5 bill pinned to the sun visor in his truck. When I asked why, he told me it was for sentimental reasons. He said, “If you remember, my ex-wife looked just like Abe Lincoln.”
