The Mercury’s Sound Off for Saturday May 4 – The Mercury

The Biden administration is delaying its plan to ban menthol cigarettes until after the election, fearing it will anger African American voters and hurt Joe Biden’s reelection. Imagine how many other nasty surprises await us if Biden wins in November!

Robert Minninger

If illegal immigrants were to enter the country to take the jobs of bureaucrats, senators and representatives in Washington, do you think there would be more or less illegal immigration? I bet tanks, drones and Marines would line every foot of the southern border.

Jim Fitch scored the all-time grand slam on Saturday, April 27, with his commentary on the minimum wage versus social security. The average Social Security check is $1,700 per month, or about $10 per hour by Fitch’s measure. But many 90-year-old widows get much less because they retired when wages were much lower.

Pennsylvania-based Sheetz is being sued by the Biden EEOC for daring to screen job applicants for criminal histories. You can be assured that if this were not the case and someone suffered harm, Sheetz would be sued for failing to conduct due diligence. Democrats consistently weigh in favor of criminals over obeying the law.

Will Pennsylvania’s 63,000 current EV owners be billed for the free lunch many have enjoyed for years? Non-EV drivers buy an average of 650 liters of gasoline per year. The Pennsylvania $.576 tax/gal. translates to an annual cost of $375. The federal tax, $0.184, adds $120. On average, EVs weigh 700 kg. more than non-EVs, causing greater wear and tear on the road surface. All statutory fees for the use of electric roads must reflect these figures and be applied retroactively.

Bill Barr has joined the club of ‘hypocrites’. He publicly loudly declared Trump an unfit, troubled narcissist; that a second term would be a nightmare for the country. Now says he will vote for Trump. Does he believe this will reconcile him with the far right or remove him from Trump’s hit list? Do these people understand how they are seen by America (or Trump)? They believe that no one will remember yesterday; that we are all stupid. Are they right?

Hillary was not charged with destroying phones, using a remote server and sending government messages on it. Her husband was not charged with having sex with anyone in the Oval Office. President Biden wasn’t prosecuted because he had papers he shouldn’t have had to write a book or open borders. Hunter wasn’t prosecuted because of his family matters or ignoring a subpoena? Why? They’re all democrats and our legal system isn’t two-tiered?

Point

Michael Stern, I think the US will have to rely on the other 26 US bases in Africa. Russia has sent troops and supplies to Niger after a military coup. China is also pumping money into Niger to strengthen its influence in one of the world’s poorest countries. It seems we are becoming victims of the corruption of the usual suspects.

The moderates

Netanyahu’s decisively strong leadership is showing results. Hamas Palestinians and their supporters are rightly being slaughtered by the hundreds every day. The terrorists will not surrender and the complicit Gazan Palestinians will not fight them. Netanyahu will receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to global humanity and will be honored and admired by generations to come. Biden will go down in history as the first American president to serve while demonstrably senile.

The governor of South Dakota shoots her dog because he wasn’t trainable, that says a lot! This is in line with MAGA’s beliefs. The governor brags about it and her followers love it, people should be judged by the way they treat their pets.

JB in Limerick

In these ‘woke’ days we hear a lot about the power of women, but I prefer that women be as intended in the Bible. That is, as great mothers and housewives. Women are not men and will never be able to do what men are capable of. That is, men can survive without women, but women will not be able to survive without men. That hard fact that women just don’t understand.

Amen

The government agency EEOC filed a discrimination case against Sheetz because they rejected 14.5% black, 13.5% multiracial, 13% Native American, and only 8% white using criminal background checks. If one group has more convicts than a larger percentage of the population, wouldn’t that lead to a different outcome? J

Just a dumb Ole farmer

Unfortunately, the tragedies continue to pile up, thanks to marijuana or alcohol use. Once again, 2 families are affected by death because a 20 year old man was a marijuana user. Studies show that up to the age of 25, marijuana affects brain development and function, and affects a person’s judgment. Logan Dierkes will end up in jail for that lack of judgment and Paula Wilson is dead. What a waste.

Michael Stern

Here’s the thing about Don the Con’s demands for immunity: The only other president to demand immunity was Tricky Dick. People don’t ask for immunity without reason; they are asking for immunity because they committed crimes!

RealAmerica

A drag queen was captured on video prompting children to sing “Free Palestine” during a strange storytelling event at a taxpayer-funded arts center in Massachusetts. This is KC, RealAmerica, Moderate, Miller, Patriot54, and that Limerick man’s America. I’d say we can’t get much more deplorable than this, but the Democrats continue to amaze us.

Barney

Right or wrong, everyone has an opinion. Those who study real history are usually right.

Starlight

It is always transactional. If the Trump family can find a way to drive away those who support them, they will. Melania sells Mother’s Day necklaces. Donald sells Bibles. Jr. and Eric are campaign czars who steal from donors. That’s why they don’t appear in court. No horror possibility. You can’t make this up!”

Jay Miller

It is ironic and revealing that President Trump has been called “Hitle,” “racist,” and a “white supremacist” by Joe Biden, while Trump is the one who strongly, repeatedly, and loudly condemns the outpouring of anti-Semitism. on our college campuses. Joe Biden remains muted, along with Bob Casey, Madeleine Dean and Chrissy Houlahan.

Jane “The Real Moderate” Batdorf

You don’t need a parachute to skydive. To skydive twice you need a parachute.

Bill Wilson

There is little confidence in Kamala Harris’ competence. That popular assessment is not racism or sexism. It is sight, hearing and rational thinking. Kamala Harris is one of the most incompetent, unlikable and uninspiring public figures in modern political history. She is a classic case of affirmation in action.

Missy ma’am

As I got older, I contracted that dreaded “furniture disease.” My chest falls into my drawers!
