One of the most important things people look at when choosing a town to raise their children in is how good are the schools. Well, the Pottstown High School has armed police officers stationed outside of school every day. How does that look for potential home buyers? I would not send my child there if I had to drive them 50 miles every day.
One question keeps coming to my mind when I see these huge caravans of illegal immigrants move toward the USA through Mexico — who feeds and provides water to all these people? The logistics and costs involved are daunting. Literally millions have traveled like this and some entity is organizing and paying for this invasion of the USA.
“Follow the Money”
Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Alan Greenspan knew it 55 years ago and with Democrats in control, it has gotten much worse. Whose wealth you ask? Everybodys, no matter whether it be $10, $10 thousand or $10 million. Dems will get it with the cruelest tax of all which is inflation. Money printing is more stealthy than taxes, therefore
uninformed people don’t really know who caused the inflation.

Saint Fauci approves $1.3M for research in Tunisia using 40 dogs — all Beagles! Their vocal cords are cut to prevent barking and yelping from pain! Their heads are put in cages so their legs can’t protect their faces. The dogs are forced to lay on the desert floor. The “sand fleas” eat their faces off for the purpose of seeing the dogs’ “reactions!” Where’s the SPCA, PETA, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS? Silent! Have to protect St. Fauci!
Our rulers believe soccer moms and dads who dare complain about critical race theory to their school boards (as is their right), are akin to neo-nazis and domestic Militia groups. Captain is correct: when are the Lucha people going to be prosecuted. Lucha is not allowed to stalk senators and film them in a bathroom. Let’s see as America transforms itself into the Soviet Union.
Like newbie David M., I have bona fides too. I used to be a Democrat until Obama was elected. That is when I left the Democrat gang. I got tired of having the federal government “passing” legislation to “help” me. Like Obamacare. I have no idea why anyone would be against slowing down what government can do to US Citizens, like letting 25% Covid infection rate illegal immigrants.

Responding to SueS who thinks corporations shouldn’t pay their fair share of taxes, he/she should really address why prices went up when corporations got huge republican tax cuts in 2017? It is because corporations will always maximize profits regardless of whether they pay their fair share or not. Common sense lesson for SueS: Corporations will always maximize profits to benefit Wall Street; Republican economics always benefits the wealthy, not the middle class.

Two weeks to slow the spread turned into parents being called domestic terrorists. Democrats sure know how to escalate a crisis.
Lumpy
Funny, some of the same folks who not too long ago said you shouldn’t be so critical and disrespectful of the President are now being critical and disrespectful of the President. There should be a word for that.

Emily L.: I enjoyed your misinformed comment about Biden creating a bunch of wind farms off the East Coast. Were you serious or just joking? My dear, do you know what a wind farm is and what it does? Let me help you. Wind farms use the offshore wind to turn the windmills that turn the generators that produce clean energy. Wind farms do not create wind. Please go back to school.

To the ultra-Right wingers: It’s the truth. We on the Left, and possibly many on the Right, who are nowhere near as “ultra“ as you, are definitely trying to shut you up. We are sick of hearing “We was robbed!” You weren’t. Biden is the legitimate President. You may disagree with the Left, but at least they are trying to make life better for all. Are you doing anything constructive?
News Flash For Biden Supporters! American-made products and oil don’t get stuck on cargo ships.

President Trump has announced his new social media app — Truth Social. This is very exciting, but it seems inevitable that he will advance to creating Dare Social and then we’ll really be in trouble. (Sound Off writers can ask their grandchildren what all this means.)
MendaciousD
Tom Kat, Warren Buffett says he doesn’t pay enough in taxes. His secretary pays more than he does. People like you have been making threats about this forever and it’s a lie
Jay Miller
I have heard a lot of political rhetoric in my time, but Joe Biden’s slogan: “Build Back Better” is detached from his actions and policies. What that slogan should actually say is “Settle for Less.”
Donna Rubin
Failed by the news media once again. Story headline: “Pain at the Pump: OPEC decision fuels continued gasoline price increase” and not a word about how Dopey Joe cut current and future oil production in the United States. Truth in Reporting Act needed now.

Life is all about perspective. The sinking of the Titanic was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship’s kitchen.

Biden’s Mistakes, Missteps, and Misstatements — Day 10: Claiming a vaccination goal of 100 million shots in the first 100 days, or one million shots a day. That was already happening before Biden took office. Sending stimulus checks to convicted criminals, including murderers in prison. Proposing a $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill that’s only 30% infrastructure. Proposing massive tax increases on employers that will cost 2.5 million jobs.
Patriot45
Mr. Moderate, well said on Sunday, agree completely. Mr. Fitch, well said on Sunday. Biggly, that description on Sunday sounds just like a Republican. Barney, about your post on Sunday, is that why Trump and Co. are still shouting about “The Big Steal” and demanding recounts and audits 11 months since losing by 8 million votes? Talk about not getting over it!
David M.
Mahatma Gandhi said if there is an idiot in power, it means those who elected him are well represented.
I love the pre-Biden, pre-Covid spirit of the writer. You can’t get in trouble for making a comment. Yeah, sure. Merrick Garland will go after soccer moms and dads who dare question critical race theory, I believe. It happens all the time in the USA. Garland has a family interest in Critical Race Theory. Don’t be so naive. Americans in build back better America must obey and comply.
President Trump is attacked over and over again for being lawless, rogue, authoritarian, and criminal. Yet a look at the record shows that when courts ruled he followed the law. He enforced existing laws. He did not ignore laws. He complied with subpoenas when courts ruled against him. Contrast that with Biden. A court ruled that he should reinstate Stay In Mexico and he ignored it, just like he ignores enforcing existing laws.
Michael Stern
“Patriot54’s” 10/23 response to my post is a perfect example of Democrat twisted reasoning. The current child “tax credit” is not refunding tax money owed by parents. The amount that my daughter is receiving is more than the federal tax they would normally pay. This is not a tax credit, it is “Free” money. This is not a tax cut, it is inflationary and has resulted in people not working because they don’t have to.

Tuesday, Nov. 2, is coming. Don’t forget to vote either in person or by mail. Taxes start at level one. Every vote counts.
Star Light
I could not resist a 22nd day of Joe Biden shameful firsts. Joe Biden is the first president to have a biological man who dresses up as a woman named to be the Assistant Secretary of Health, otherwise known as Dr. Levine. Joe Biden can also claim to have appointed Dr. “Rachel” Levine to be the first “female” Four-Star Admiral. Another LOL first for Joe Biden.

Can you imagine having a little Trumpy throwing a tantrum in a store oh we’ve seen it happen in the White House what a role model for your children!

Sound Off readers, I do think Emily L is pulling our leg. Most of her comments are idiotic, but the wind farm comment is unbelievable.
The Moderate
Don’t expect sincere empathy from Muth, Shapiro, Dean or Houlahan on rising energy costs. It is according to plan. Obama Energy Sec. Steven Chu espoused European gasoline pricing equivalent to $9/gal. Parts of California are nearing $8. Natural gas pricing? Up 119% year-over-year. In China & Germany, the intermittency of renewables has prompted a mad dash to coal. An interested observer? Elon Musk, who sees no viable plan to power a nation of EVs.
M. Furlong
To David M of Sanatoga, to the best of my knowledge Evangelical Christians live in every town of the USA, so it would be hard for a weather event to miss them or for Covid-19 to miss them. And abortions kill millions of innocent babies, while the death penalty is imposed on what a society has judged to be a very guilty and evil person — a very easy distinction.
Ruth Mutter
Hey (un)Patriot54, are you really that lost or do you just like to spin facts in your favor? The only reason there were lost jobs under Trump was because of the China virus that Fauci and the Demonrats unleashed on America! All of the Democratic governors closed down their states and people couldn’t work! Now they are slowly getting their jobs back no thanks to the loser dummy Biden!
Someone spent a lot of money on Chrissy Houlahan’s education with the worst return on investment in history unless of course, Nancy Pelosi paid for it. In that case, she definitely got her money’s worth. Unfortunately, PA-6 hasn’t benefited one bit. This stooge is the most educated idiot in history, including AOC and Maxine Waters. Oh was it November 2022 when we send her packing.
Please don’t make fun of older children for believing in Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny. Remember there are actually adults like Patriot54, Lefty, and Jay Miller who believe Joe Biden is a better presidential alternative to Donald Trump.
Biggly
This is in response to Emily L who thinks it is unnecessary for people receiving Social Security to receive any type of increase in entitlement in January 2022. Maybe you do not need the 5.9% increase in what you receive, but to the majority of other recipients, this is certainly welcomed. Go ahead and send yours back, see if anyone cares. Thank you, President Biden and others who are making this increase possible.

Did you ever take a nap that was so good you thought you missed the school bus, but woke up and realized it was Sunday and you’re 73 years old?
