Late October 2021, there was a news story about Obama and Bruce Springsteen being interviewed, with Obama stating that Bruce’s fans were racists. And Bruce agreed with his buddy. Wow, I didn’t know! Now, NPR’s music critic, Ann Powers, writes a story stating that the Beatles were racists. Wow, I didn’t know! Thank goodness it took over 50 years to find this out … otherwise, I couldn’t have enjoyed their music all of these years.

Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed a curriculum transparency bill that would require “the posting and updating of course syllabuses, course summaries, the state academic standard to each instructional course and title or link to textbooks used in school” unless copyrights would be violated. Why? Wolf clearly does not want parents to know what is being taught as he is wedded to indoctrination mills rooted in cultural Marxism where state interests supersede those of kids.

Northwell Health has fired more than 1,500 healthcare workers who did not get vaccinated. Jill Biden invited the Northwell Singing and Dancing nurses to the White House for a “performance.” It begs the question as to how the staffing is going at Northwell — I thought the ICUs and ERs were filled with Covid patients. I can imagine what the press would have said if Melania had done something so pretentious and stupid.

I read it, then I re-read it. There it was, plain as day. Right there in the Pottstown Mercury. Fully vaccinated people are dying of Covid. A full one-third of the folks dying in Montco hospitals are fully vaccinated. I guess it could be a typo. I thought my vaccinated butt was safe from covid, but now I am finding out not only can I die from it, but I can also transmit it too.

Sleepy Joe is a complete joke. He just threw in the towel admitting that he and his federal government are incapable of battling Covid. Now he’s saying it has to be done at the state level. Why did he want this job if he knew he couldn’t handle it? Failure on every level. Not a single positive result to anything he’s attempted in the past year unless you’re counting no more mean tweets.

Dr. Fauci is at it again. The highly paid bureaucrat and admitted liar is now pushing to ban unvaccinated people from traveling domestically by air. It’s not about safety. Fauci thinks it will be an effective way to get more people vaccinated. What unconstitutional idea will he propose next, and why does the Biden administration continue to persecute unvaccinated Americans when the science indicates the vaccinated also spread the virus?

Nuance — a subtle distinction. What is seen on the surface may not be the whole picture. Discernment — the ability to judge wisely. Don’t take what “everybody knows” as gospel. Think for yourself.
When I read The Mercury “coroner” article on Monday, I found out that there are people dying with covid that were fully vaccinated. Lots of “excuses” for that. Some were immunocompromised. Some had their vaccinations “months” ago. Gee, I keep hearing that the only people dying from covid have not been vaccinated. When you lie to people over and over again, they won’t believe anything you say. Not surprising people are resisting the vaccine.

I don’t understand all this “Let’s Go Brandon!” stuff. If people want to say something nasty to Brandon why don’t they just say it? Why do we have to explain to Brandon that “Let’s Go” means people really don’t like him? And how many people even know my nephew, anyway? It’s very upsetting to him and, while it’s true he’s done a few questionable things, he’s really an OK kid at heart.

No one ever said the vaccines were 100%. They cut the risk of getting the virus and meeting death. The vaccine keeps you from infecting others. Are you stupid or do you have me syndrome?

To all red-staters, Social Security is funded solely by the S.S. payroll tax you and your employer pay. The cost of living increases are based on the rate of inflation. Medicare is funded solely by a different payroll tax you and your employer pay and its rates are set by your income. By law, Medicare can’t negotiate drug prices and must pass them on. There isn’t a single politician, left-wing or right, involved.

Whether it’s Biden’s teleprompter or his lying mouthpiece press secretary, the Dems expect everyone to disregard the truth, science, and the obvious and believe them when they feed you their party propaganda such as there is no problem at the southern border, raging inflation isn’t anything to be concerned with, spending trillions of dollars on progressive social infrastructure won’t cost anything, the supply chain crisis only affects the wealthy, etc. Dem’s be tripp’n!

Looks like the Covid numbers in Florida are leaking out, despite DeSantis’ best efforts to suppress them. They’re setting new records because they’re doing everything wrong. He’s actually helping the virus to spread. It’s called “personal freedom.” Doesn’t look like it’s working.
I don’t know how I became some anonymous poster’s bete noire. No one needs “… to encourage division, chaos, and disdain for the truth” on this page. They were all here long before I arrived. I merely suggest that 75-word essays, shorn of all credible evidence and rational argument, not be taken seriously. In the words of Elvis Costello: “I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused.”

Crummy President, you failed at everything! Crawl back in your hole.
So now Pope Francis, the socialist progressive leader of the Catholic Church, is giving marriage advice. That’s as funny as people buying tickets to Hillary Clinton’s masterclass in “resilience” which was nothing more than her reading a delusional rendition of her would-be victory speech. Both are cringeworthy beyond imagination.
Fake Fox News was absolutely stunned when the Kim Potter verdict came down. Imagine a policewoman guilty of first and second-degree manslaughter. It happened and the verdict was correct. Sometimes accountability happens to people in power and we can all live with that. First Chauvin and now Potter, it must be a Minnesota thing. RIP Daunte Wright

From The Hill, December 17th: Jay Butler, the deputy director for infectious diseases, told the panel in an interview he was pressured by the former White House to publish guidance for faith communities that “softened some very important public health recommendations,” such as removing all references to face coverings, a suggestion to suspend choirs and language related to virtual services. But sure evangelicals, the former president has your best interests at heart.

The two worst states for the virus are Florida and Louisiana for spikes and they rank third per capita for the most virus.
Jay Miller
Namedropping does not make one a name to be dropped. Encouraging mendacity for one’s own amusement demonstrates a feeble intellect. Mockery as self-aggrandizement is not satire. Even the Unknown Comic had enough self-awareness to put a bag over his head.
I love the people on the right who criticize doctors. They’re not doing this right, they’re not doing that right I wonder if they tell their doctor what to do or what to say, or are they guinea pigs when I go to the doctor? Hypocrites.
When you keep repeating yourself, you become boring and nobody listens.

Typical of a Biden supporter like JB in Limerick to be asking Republicans to do something about Covid instead of just blaming Biden. Apparently, JB forgets that the Republicans who were solving the Covid crisis were removed from office and their policies were immediately overturned by Democrats. JB’s mental acuity seems to be on par with that of his current president — the most popular president in US history who supposedly received 81 million votes. Ha Ha Ha!
It would be very interesting to hear from past and present Boro council members about what happened to Pottstown. It would be especially interesting to hear from people like Bill Krause, Steve Toroney, James Smale.
Jim Fitch, or anyone else for that matter, if you think money today isn’t worth anything feel free to send whatever you have my way. I’ll gladly dispose of it for you.

While good friends are hard to find and even harder to keep, I have been blessed with many. “A good friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.” There is no greater gift than the gift of “friendship!”
