President Trump made a momentous decision to attack and decapitate Iran’s government. For 47 years, Iran’s Islamist Jihadists were terrorizing not just the USA but the world. Their terrorist attacks have killed over a thousand Americans. If they had a nuclear bomb, they would use it. Their leaders believe that their god wants them to. Six presidents chose not to deal with Iran. Trump did.

Have Democrats become proxies for the CCP? China could not be more pleased by the invasion of our country by millions and degrading of our institutions through adoption of DEI practices. Democrats denigrated the COVID lab-leak theory and Hunter Biden laptop revelations. More recently, they have lamented the fates of Maduro, Khamenei, Diaz-Canel (Cuba) and architects of October 7 atrocities. Unsurprising? Revelations of CCP ties to data center and rare earth mining obstructionists.

Lame stream media at it again. Action News leads with the quote “large-scale local protests about Iran bombings.” A closer look shows about 10 people with signs on a corner in Phoenixville. Iran’s leader killed 55,000 protesters and imprisoned another 55,000. Free the Iranian people! It just goes to show that some people hate the president so much that whatever Donald Trump does, it will be criticized — a sad time in America.
The big lie that many of the Democrat anti-Trump protests are not paid protesters was completely debunked in the wake of Trump’s brilliant strike against Iran. Paid protesters were called out 10 minutes before Trump even announced the strikes. In other words, the signs were prepared and delivered at 2:30 AM. Sorry, but “organic” unpaid protests do not do that at 2:30 AM.

Netanyahu and Trump are both war criminals, and Trump must be impeached. This attack violates both our Constitution and the U.N. Charter. There is no imminent threat to the United States. Donald Trump has started another illegal war.

The manchild, who lobbied for the Nobel Peace Prize, has started a war with Iran. Yes. We were negotiating for peace, but his impulses thought this was a good idea. No consultation or permission from Congress. Bluster and bombs are not a strategy for peace!
Jay Miller
President Trump and his administration stand head and shoulders above previous administrations. They meticulously planned and orchestrated the attack on Iran. Professional, extraordinarily competent, brilliant, and outstanding are words that will be used by historians to describe Trump and his cabinet. From top to bottom, they are the best of the best.

The leftist mainstream media had elevated gaslighting to an art. They refuse to call illegal immigrants criminals. Now, The Mercury has taken to referring to illegal aliens as “foreign nations” instead of the vile lawbreakers they are. Dem’s be tripp’n!

Here’s a language lesson for the confused. Non-citizens who sneak across the border or who overstay their visa are illegal aliens. Illegal aliens are apprehended by law enforcement; they are not kidnapped. When illegal aliens are removed from the country, it’s called deportation, not “disappeared.” I hope this helps.

Yes, Joe Frank, I know where my birth certificate is. I needed it to get my passport and my Real ID. I even know where my marriage license is, too, because I needed that, too. You are insufferable. You parrot lies from the Democrat leaders. Do you think airplanes are filled with only men, because they are the only ones who can get a Real ID? You and Adam are stupid men.

So much noise about the public hearings of the Kingdom Life charter school application. Say what you will about charter schools, but please don’t show your ignorance by saying the Pottstown School District is underfunded. The taxpayer-funded expenditure is about $19,631 per student per year. Taxpayers should be demanding better academic results rather than more money from hard-working district families. Fund results, not excuses, and abolish school unions.

What do you do when the Epstein cloud is closing in on you, and pictures are about to be released? Attack Iran, of course. That will keep reporters busy for a while. Trump says there will be casualties, but don’t worry, Trump’s family will be safe. He promised “No More Wars,” and you believed him. Iran’s nuclear program was “totally obliterated” until it wasn’t. Epstein won’t go away, Donny, you will.
The bodies keep piling up at the hands of illegal immigrant semi-truck drivers. Today, it was an illegal from India, Singh Sukhdeep, with a CDL from Indiana. The illegal immigrant correctly responded to only 2 out of 12 and could only correctly identify 1 of 4 traffic signs. Sukhdeep killed Terry Schulz by running a red light. Sukhdeep was doing a job that no American Citizen would do, right, Joe Frank?
Richard Paladino
Poor little me, I am just a stupid, helpless woman, and I don’t know how to do anything. I couldn’t possibly get a photo ID for voting, for driving, or for a passport. Joe Frank, you ignorant, pathetic Democrat, many red states already require a photo ID to vote. Yes, even women are voting in Florida, Alabama, Idaho, Indiana, Arkansas, etc.

In 2013, Felony Don the Lying Con said that President Obama could not get a nuclear deal with Iran. He got a deal that Cheeto tore up, and now Chump has bombed Iran twice. Nobel Peace Prize, hell no!

Lefty, addressing your arrogance is a waste of my 75 words. We are not on the same page. I don’t require your schooling. Nor have I lost my faith. There are numerous comments made by Minninger, Stern, and company that I cannot dispute. Then there are those with whom I disagree. Please don’t continue with this obnoxious belief that you need to correct me. I have my own method and style of conveyance.

When Hillary was interviewed about the Epstein files, she was asked if she ever met Epstein. She said, “I can’t recall.” When did we hear that before? About a hundred times during her testimony before Congress.

Recently, my Bride and I purchased a “memory foam” mattress. Shortly after use, it developed a recess in the foam. Could it be that the “memory foam” in our mattress has developed “Alzheimer’s”?
