I see we are back on the subject of passenger rail service. Will this turn out to be like the empty buses that roam around Pottstown without any passengers and are paid for by tax money from the state? Good wages for riding around and wasting fuel but nobody paying fares.
Hey Lower Pottsgrove. Maybe we should start charging folks who put the trash out before 5 p.m. like they do in Allentown. And way over the limits also. We need the trash police!
Initially, Biden said we should abide by the jury decision in the Rittenhouse case and respect our jury system. The next day he reversed himself and said that “like many Americans, he was angry and concerned with the jury acquittal.” The progressives must have pulled hard on his puppet strings to change his position on this case.

Thucydides said, “a society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its fighting done by fools and its thinking done by cowards.” In its march through academia, the left has produced this effect. Penn basketball players sitting down for the anthem and CRT being taught at our service academies make us look weak and foolish to our enemies. But weakness and foolishness are left-wing values. Thucydides knew what he was talking about.

You won’t hear this on Fox News, but “Nancy Pelosi is one of the most accomplished Speakers of the House in modern history. Under her leadership, she passed the Affordable Care Act, American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure Plan and Build Back Better with slim margins. She also supplied votes to save the economy in 2009 and twice impeached a lawless president” (J. Rubin). Radical Republicans, what have your house speakers accomplished?

Rittenhouse is white. The rioters that attacked him (and were shot as a result) were white. Kenosha residents and business owners who were victimized by the BLM rioting were black and white. The media and progressive democrats wanted to make the Rittenhouse trial a racist issue when it wasn’t. The facts prove Kenosha politicians and law enforcement allowed days of criminal rioting and violence to go on unimpeded. So a patriot justifiably took action.

Democrats Chrissy Houlahan and Madeleine Dean are bragging they voted for Biden’s Build Back Better bill. Are they also willing to take credit for the rise in inflation the Democrats have caused by printing trillions of dollars? Time to retire both of them in 2022.
On Saturday Penn State played Rutgers. Penn State’s team was riddled with the “flu” per PSU’s coach. Flu has been far more deadly to young people than Covid. Yet the team was allowed to go out and play football, exposing many folks to the disease. Why wasn’t the team quarantined?

What explains the self-destructive tendencies of Democrats? Pew Research provides clues. They are 2X more likely than Republicans to suffer from mental illness and 40% more inclined to cede control over their lives to authoritarian institutions. Record homicides in Philadelphia? No big deal as gauged by Krasner’s re-election as D.A. Wolf’s decision to foist the covid-infected on nursing homes? The same. A virtue-signaling party of good intentions with horrific outcomes.

Someone said that “democrats get things done.” And how! Democrats are doing a lot of harm. The Dems are transforming the republic into a Third World nation. No border means a nation overrun with impoverished invaders. Dems are “doing” us! Other Dem accomplishments: weakened police forces = rising, out-of-control crime. Also, how about the dozens of container ships docked out in the Pacific Ocean unable to be unloaded due to dem mismanagement and incompetence?
Bob from Boyertown
I’ll concede Hannity wasn’t literally “foaming at the mouth”. Do you understand what a “figure of speech” is? I’ll amend it. He was, quite literally, “raging”, on what he perceived, and wanted all his viewers to believe, about McConnel’s “betrayal” on paying what the U.S. owed. He would have preferred a default, to teach the Democrats a “lesson,” regardless of the consequences to you and I.
Hate to say it but, just like the underperforming President Barack Obama, Kamala Harris is a byproduct of a lifetime of affirmative action. The bar has been set so low throughout her professional life, she actually believed she was qualified to be Vice President of the United States. But just like Mr. Obama, Ms. Harris quickly found out the true measure of one’s performance in the real world is not graded on a race-based curve.
Missy Miss
The huge Democratic bill just passed by Congress contains a provision to destroy religious-based pre-K programs. The bill will provide free pre-K programs for everyone. But not one cent of that money will be allowed to go to religious-based pre-K programs. So if you have a choice of sending your kids to a free program or one you have to pay for, the one you pay for will wither.
“Dutch”
It’s great to see “Prof. Harold Hill” back in sound off. We need more poetry here to help us relax and lighten the mood. I encourage others to brighten their thoughts with rhyme. How about it, M. Furlong, Patriot 54, Robert Minninger, Lefty, everybody? Are you up to the challenge?
MendaciousD
From the Mon. 11/15 edition, R. Minninger, Steele Dossier. Go to Wikipedia, type “Trump Tower Moscow” and read. No, Trump never had any business dealings with anybody in Russia, Bill Barr still claims no collusion but appointed Durham to find it. Let’s use a Trump favorite, “Witch Hunt”. Snarky, God was out of locust? But you are still here.
David M.
Dutch, it would help if you looked up the definition of vaccine in the dictionary, or even better, on the CDC website. “A vaccine is a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” Flu shots are vaccines and always have been. No vaccine is 100% effective and none last forever. Flu vaccines are often only about 50% effective; the Covid ones are well over 90%.

As a senior citizen, in my years growing up, I learned that you were responsible for your actions and that they have consequences. Now I see that’s no longer the case. Vigilantes are legal, murder is legal, you can go to another state and kill people, and walk away free. Kyle’s lawyer said he was asked to come there. By who?The police? I doubt it. You can’t appoint yourself to law enforcement and kill people.
See what happens if you try to help the average American — you are threatened with political and personal pain! Hoping people see the con job that is taking place!
JB in Limerick
The Jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin, managed to concentrate on the law and determined that the law said Kyle Rittenhouse was not guilty. After Joe Biden went off script and said that “we must abide by the verdict,” Biden’s minders told him to say “While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included.” Thank goodness we had 12 citizens that ignored Biden’s minders.
Michael Stern
I’m outraged to hear that the Biden administration has put BLM in charge of the management of federal land in the western US. It is typical for Sleepy Joe to cave in to political pressure from the Left and give jobs to unqualified activists. And what does BLM know about the wilderness? Are we going to be hearing about Bear Lives Matter?
Emily L
It is interesting that Jim Tribbett claims to be a Republican, but he never criticizes a Democrat. He attacked Congressman Paul Gosar for a cartoon, but he ignored Joe Biden when he said the following about President Trump, “If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.” Of course, Jim Tribbett recognized that Biden wasn’t serious, but he doesn’t give Congressman Gosar the same leniency.
Billy G.
We the people vote these politicians into office for them to serve us. why is it when we are in the worst position ever & hurting financially they vote themselves a raise over 5 percent? Wake up people, we can’t pay all these increases now. why do they become millionaires, while we bleed.? I’m tired of hurting. aren’t you? Get the bums out!
The Golden Ager
Hey, Dave K. — “variolation,” “vaccination” — a distinction without a difference. Washington didn’t “tell” his troops to do anything. He “ordered” that troops be inoculated via an experimental (as in, 50/50) process. When someone enlists, they legally become government property. (You know, expendable?) On induction, shots decided by the DOD are mandatory for all. Stop trying to make this about your personal politics, “… same lies as Biden and Jen Paski …”
How much of the rise in prices involves corporations further increasing prices as a self-fulfilling prophecy? They are taking advantage of the situation by boosting prices even further, knowing most citizens will just chalk it up to inflation without thinking otherwise. Earnings calls are filled with beating estimates, increasing margins, record profits, and giving themselves a pat on the back for their “pricing strategies.”

I have a serious question for Emily L — Are you really that callous, heartless and racist or are you a fair-minded liberal with an incredibly dark sense of humor? Either you are a reprehensible person or a comedic genius and my hero. I just need to know which.
Greg T
I wish the Trump supporters would just give up the claim that Joe Biden won by cheating. The evidence is in, it has been examined, and the results are clear. Joe Biden won 99% of the dead vote, 95% of the illegal alien vote, and 110% of the Chinese vote that the Communist party in China cast for him.
Jimbo
To those who believe that “open borders” are fine — ask the American Indians how open borders worked out for them!
