The Mercury’s Sound Off for Tuesday, June 6

It is beyond belief that the mainstream media is ignoring the FBI whistleblower who claims the FBI has a credible document that details a $5 million bribe to Joe Biden by a foreign individual or government. No way this would have been ignored 20 years ago. Yet it is happening. Our government is going down the tubes.

Congratulations to all high school graduates as they continue on their life journeys! No doubt, the past four years were challenging (to say the least). Still, and I hate to break this to you, but in years to come you’ll look back and realize high school was the easiest part of your adult life. Keep the tenets of Christianity as your personal foundation and integrity as your North Star and you’ll surely achieve wondrous things.

Stephen A. Smith went on a tear on his podcast. He pointed out the 63 black people shot in one weekend in Chicago. All of them were shot by other blacks. Not a word from BLM, Joe Biden, Al Sharpton, the new Mayor, Target, Bud Light, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc. But if just one of them had been shot by a cop, it would have been like the world coming to an end.

Grant W.

Is it possible to be assassinated by gravity? If so, the AP will argue for it.

Otis

We are living in a time where the Constitution, Bill of Rights and 2nd Amendment are the only thing that has prevented the Cabal/Deep State from totally destroying our Country. The world is watching. If the United States falls the entire world falls and we all become Third-World countries run by these evil, corrupt Criminal Gangsters. It's time to wake up to this evil trying to destroy the US and the World.

Philadelphia has come full circle. Philly was at the forefront of requiring masks for Covid, but now they are banning masks on SEPTA to fight violence and crime. Next will be banning masks in stores to combat shoplifting. I hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Hey Portly, decent America-loving conservatives have no issue with having everyone treated as equals. But we do have a big problem when radical left-wing woke companies force down our throats the notion that an insignificantly small group of people who live on the periphery of social normality are somehow more equal than others. That's the pushback you’re witnessing today as companies try to "out woke" each other just to boost their ESG scores.

Entering a Sound Off with a signature has absolutely nothing to do with ego. My father had told me, "If you have nerve enough to write something, you should have the nerve enough to sign it." Evidently, not many of the people who write to Sound Off were told that by their fathers.

Dennis A. Biggs

Congratulations to the Boyertown Borough and Boyertown YMCA (Philadelphia YMCA), for the total neglect of the Boyertown Community Swimming Pool. So, the community pool will be closed the entire summer due to extensive repairs that are needed and should have been addressed previously. No place for the children of the area to swim this summer. If I paid for a YMCA membership so I could use the pool, I would be demanding my money back.

Time to dispel the myth that women are paid less in the workplace for doing the same jobs men do. If that were true, business owners would hire only women.

A viral video making the rounds shows a car making a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump off the tilted bed of a flatbed tow truck along an interstate. The police are now trying to determine if the woman driving the car hit the send button for her text before, during, or after the jump.

Billy G.

Un-Patriot54, you have successfully highlighted the disparity in our two-tier judicial system with your comparison of the Russian Collusion Hoax vs the Durham Investigation. Only, some people are not smart enough to see it. MendaciousD, if your illustrious debt ceiling negotiator did such a great job, why did John Fetterman (AKA Quasimodo) vote against it?

MC923

The Donald was 100% exonerated in that bogus rape case. And chances are he’ll never have to pay a cent of the Soros-hired judge's defamation fine once that too gets thrown out of court. I’m not sure how Charlie's brain works when he believes someone who's fined for defamation is guilty of rape. Typical Liberal Logic? Too much CNN? Untreated Trump Derangement Syndrome? Still butthurt over Hillary getting trounced? Probably all of the above.

Education is the best way to cure many world problems.

Most doctors know that SIDS is caused by vaccinations but they don't want to talk about it. Just like autism, they could lose their license for their actions. They BS parents into believing SIDS is caused by babies sleeping on their stomachs. Are you kidding me? 50/75 years ago everyone put babies on their stomachs. Virtually all SIDS deaths occur after vaccination. Autism and SIDS are owned by the vaccine makers.

Info Depot

The Mercury, 05/25/2023, mid-page A8: "Target suffers backlash for LGBTQ+ support, pulls some clothing" – "… has also been the subject of several misleading videos in recent weeks, with social media users falsely claiming the retailer is selling "tuck-friendly" bathing suits designed for children or in children's sizes. …" Missy Miss: "… Parents … committing child abuse and need to have their children taken away permanently." Prematurely, mistakenly judgmental often? Social media: grain of salt needed.

Republicans better soon realize that climate change is real! They are the party of no and it is starting to affect humanity.

Stay Tuned!

Shortly after the Russian invasion, President Biden said we would not provide long-range missiles to Ukraine, only defensive weapons. Biden flip-flopped and within months we supplied Ukraine with long-range missiles. Biden later said no tanks because tanks would lead to WWIII. Biden is now sending Abrams tanks. Biden was a hard no on F-16s. Ukraine will now get F-16s. Trust nothing of what Biden says!

Robert Minninger

Saw this on the internet, made me laugh: "Wishing all the homophobes a super uncomfortable month"

Patriot54

Not all Biden voters believe in wokeness. But all of them decided running the country based on Woke America First policies isn't a deal breaker.

Barney

Big corporations like Target and InBev need to get over thinking they can market to anyone they want just because some group has money to spend and they can make a profit from it. That's not what corporations are about. Make money, sure, but not from people I despise. This is America. Go woke and get your head broke.

J Swift

Fetterman voted against raising the Debt Ceiling Limit because it contains a scaled-down version of "work-fare"! Bill Clinton approved work-fare! Where able-bodied individuals, that could work, were obligated to do something. Fetterman didn't think anyone should have to work for a taxpayer handout! That makes sense as Fetterman hasn't worked a day in his life, Fetterman living off others!

It appears I have misunderstood the meaning of Pride Month. Now I have 12 lions for sale.

Bill Wilson

The Memorial Day service at Arlington National Cemetery was moving as Joe Biden paid tribute to those who died so our nation could live. Why couldn't Melania's husband do that? Instead, he worried about the rain and how it would muss up his hair. Thanks for being a real man and leader Joe Biden. Good luck with your "bone spurs" Donnie.

Lefty

For some reason, there are all kinds of leaks about evidence that the FBI and the DOJ have about wrongdoing by Trump, although we never seem to actually see it. But when it comes to Biden, Congress subpoenas evidence that the FBI has on Biden's corruption and Congress, which created the FBI, can't see it.

Sam Tasik

No matter how you feel about guns, you should educate yourself on the tragic history of disarming a population.
