But I\u2019m curious \u2014 did the people in the picture, anyone from DCNR to council people Lindsay and Paules, to Mayor Henrick, tour or even look at the pathway by the BMX park? This pathway over the railroad which leads back to the car wash on Shoemaker Road is waste-ridden. I have also contacted Borough Hall and hope this will be addressed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Anonymous<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Can\u2019t find Baby Formula? Well, if you are an illegal immigrant, you won\u2019t have a problem. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are shipping pallets of Baby Formula to our Southern Border for the illegal immigrants. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi don\u2019t care about American Citizens, they give illegal immigrants priority.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kristin Reams<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Has anyone heard from Bobby Casey Jr. lately? As usual, he is hiding in a basement somewhere. Inflation is raging, gas prices are through the roof, and Bobby remains in hiding. Is he doing anything to help you? No. He casts his Senate votes the way Chuck Schumer tells him to. This guy is such a waste and has done nothing to help Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p><em>John Conrad<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>A heartfelt thank you to the staff on the fifth and sixth floors of Pottstown Hospital for the care and kindness shown to my husband.<\/p>\n<p><em>Judy<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>I worked for over 42 years and have retired. I now pay all my eye and dental costs. The liberal idiots want me to pay for abortions, and college loans, and care for everyone who crosses the Southern Border illegally. I was raised to work and pay my way which I have done. Time to take care of US citizens.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mike S<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Received a nonsense email from Rep. Madeleine Dean about stopping the filibuster, in Biden\u2019s own words, to have the ability to \u201ckill their child\u201d! Yo Madeleine how about showing the same concern for the Southern Border, energy, inflation, supply chain, crime, weaponizing the FBI against parents, the Americans still being held hostage in Afghanistan! China and Russia are not our friends! Just a few items that need attention! I know, do not expect anything from Dean!<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The energy policies of Biden and his progressive handlers started inflation on day one of his administration in their attempt to destroy the fossil fuel industry. In March, their $1.9 Trillion stimulus package overheated the economy by flooding the country with stimulus checks, enhanced unemployment aid and expanded child tax credit payments. Now Biden blames the \u201cMAGA-Republicans\u201d for inflation, another lie, just like blaming Putin, and only lefty Democratic diehards will buy into this nonsense.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tom<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Biden voters, please go to confession this week. You sinned against our country and your fellow Americans. Go confess your sin, clean your conscience, and this fall, sin no more, and vote against inflation, against baby formula shortages, and against every Democrat on the ballot.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shirley Huck<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>A conservative running for office should never invoke God\u2019s name on his or her agenda. It is so fake that it\u2019s ridiculous. It\u2019s blasphemy when you do that, so stop it. Jesus Christ was the first Socialist, Progressive and Leftist and that can\u2019t be denied. Stop being crazy, ya dig Snarky?<\/p>\n<p><em>Lefty<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>If you missed \u201c2000 Mules\u201d in the theater, this very important documentary can be watched online at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bitchute.com\/video\/oUxVva4yWsuu\/\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.bitchute.com\/video\/oUxVva4yWsuu\/<\/a> This film is a must-see for all freedom-loving Americans. It will help you understand why we need stringent election reform laws to preserve our democracy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Greg Levengood<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Biden\u2019s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has a solution for inflation: Abort more babies. Yesterday she said abortion is good for the economy. Probably the sickest thing a cabinet official has ever said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rhea Shirk<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>In 1873 the US government killed 1.5 million buffalo to starve Native Americans so they would be more dependent on the government. Fast forward to today and the Democrats are creating food shortages to achieve exactly the same goal!<\/p>\n<p><em>Otis<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Another day and another increase in gas prices and another record high gas price. Stickers on gas pumps with Biden\u2019s likeness saying \u201cI did that\u201d are just ridiculous. There should be mirrors on gas pumps saying, \u201cBiden voters look yourself in the face \u2014 You did that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Karen Rivera<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Is there an October 14 Committee? Have photos of those who assaulted police en route to occupation of the Udall Building been posted by the FBI? How many participants remain imprisoned without due process? Fair questions all. Architects of the Jan. 6 insurrection narrative, a number of whom facilitated the events of that day, are fully invested in selective suppression of lawful dissent including that by parents deemed terrorists for opposing grade school indoctrination.<\/p>\n<p><em>M. Furlong<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Jay, Lefty and Patriot54, we\u2019ve been getting a lot of mentions here lately. We\u2019re outnumbered by 6 to 1, at least, and we\u2019re their biggest concern? I get the best feels in the best places when I\u2019m called a troll by people that troll me, a looney by the lunatic fringe and a liar by people that spread known lies. I\u2019m just a lowly Reagan Republican with no party to go to. Rock on, squad.<\/p>\n<p><em>David M.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Signed up for an anti-choice bake sale. Going to take an egg and some batter in a mixing bowl. Will insist that this is a cake, and the anti-choice crowd will agree.<\/p>\n<p><em>Patriot54<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The policies of the last Republican administration resulted in the lowest African American poverty in history. The policies of the last Republican administration resulted in the lowest Hispanic poverty in history. The last Republican administration championed and passed the First Step Act to address inequities in our criminal justice system that disproportionately impacted minorities. That sure sounds like the Party of Lincoln to me.<\/p>\n<p><em>Robert Minninger<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The Democrats\u2019 move to take over the dissemination of public information should frighten and anger every American citizen. State-led censorship is pure evil. It reeks of Hitler-era despotism. But that\u2019s today\u2019s Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p><em>Biggly<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>A strong case may be made that Joe Biden is the stupidest man in Washington. For second place I\u2019d like to nominate Chrissy Houlahan. If you saw her assessment of the economy on TV the other day it will be obvious to you. Following her reveal that doesn\u2019t know a damn thing about economics \u2014 she doubles down and votes to give Ukraine another $44 billion saddling PA-6 with yet more debt.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Just saw a report on record profits being made by oil companies, while we\u2019re being gouged at the pump. How can this be allowed? Aren\u2019t they rich enough already? All of the reasons for the high prices that we\u2019re hearing are bullcrap. They\u2019re doing it because they can.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Lefty claims the quartet of Sound Off radical Democrats are all college graduates (Patriot54, David M, &amp; Jay Miller). Wait, you know each other? Siblings? Cousins? Drinking buds? Roommates? Co-workers? If you did all go to college \u2014 doubtful \u2014 I would demand a full refund. CNN and MSNBC give this curriculum for free.<\/p>\n<p><em>Billy G.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Listening to Sleepy Joe Biden delivering his dementia-addled speech on the economy and inflation was just painful. It reminded me of the Sound Offs submitted by Patriot54, Lefty, Jay Miller and David M. No sign of accountability or self-awareness. Just blame Trump, Republicans, Putin, billionaires, and wealthy corporations. Oh, and the constant use of the Democrats\u2019 newly minted slur \u201cMAGA Republicans\u201d is already backfiring on Biden and the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p><em>Barney<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>President Biden\u2019s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the dumbest thing I ever heard any public official say. She said the 1973 SCOTUS abortion decision had a favorable impact on the well-being of children. This is a most shocking and disgusting comment from a member of Biden\u2019s Cabinet. Killing unborn children is not have a favorable impact on them at all. Have we no morals anymore?<\/p>\n<p><em>Info Depot<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Where did Covid come from? We know it originated in China. That\u2019s where it started \u2014 specifically in the Wuhan Province. Initially, it was thought to have originated in an animal and then transferred to humans via unsanitary or undercooked food in a wet market. There is no evidence to support that. We are left with the Wuhan Lab \u2014 funded by Dr. Fauci. Alas, Biden shows no interest in pursuing the origin.<\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Stern<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>I think we can be sure the Democrats had someone to leak the information from the Supreme Court. In a week\u2019s time, the Senate has a bill on the floor about the abortion issue and is ready to vote on it. How could this happen so fast as it takes them months to vote on other bills? Dishonest Dems once again right before an election.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Disney has lost $63 billion in market value since going woke. Will Disney learn from this or is it an acceptable loss in their eyes? I bet Disney shareholders \u2014 the real owners of the company \u2014 are pretty pissed off that they weren\u2019t consulted first. Go woke, go real broke. But nobody really cares about woke pedophilia promoting companies like Disney.<\/p>\n<p><em>Peaches<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>To all you FOX Kooks, if Trump would\u2019ve succeeded with his coup that would\u2019ve been the start of a dictatorship!<\/p>\n<p><em>Jay Miller<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>It\u2019s too bad the Sound Off posts are limited to 75 words although in Jay Miller\u2019s case it probably maxes out his vocabulary. They are generally far more interesting and accurate than the drivel given to us from the roster of washed-up columnists like George Will, Kathleen Parker, EJ Dionne, etc. and the local virtue signalers like Will Wood, Myra Forrest, and Christine Flowers. The grassroots are awakening and nothing will stop us now.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>What in the world is Biden saying when he says \u201cUltra-MAGA agenda?\u201d Please wake me up and make him stop talking! It just makes me sick to listen to him! This world is going to hell in a handbasket! It\u2019s all produced! Thank you to every Democrat who voted this buffoon into office! Hope we can survive this!<\/p>\n<p><em>Dot<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Here\u2019s how a typical conversation goes these days with a Democrat. Normal Person: \u201cConsidering all the crises facing Americans at this time \u2013 the border, crime, weak foreign policy, out of control fuel costs, skyrocketing inflation, escalating murder rates, drug overdoses, socialist spending policies, deficit spending, weak-on-crime justice system, etc. \u2014 what are the Democrats planning to do to address all of these issues? Lib: \u201cDonald Trump is a con man and you\u2019re a racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Patriot45<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Hey Stay Tuned, I love starting my day with a good laugh. The first thing I do is to read what Jim Fitch has to say. We have four Far Left Sound Off regulars who don\u2019t believe what is happening to our country.
