It’s come to this. Locally, Democrats seeking school board seats have resorted to using school district logos in their mailings. The apparent intention is to infer that the messaging contained therein, disparaging to opponents, is representative of official school district positions. Such deception has necessitated responses from school officials to “correct the record.” Those who employ such tactics should be kept as far away from children as possible.

Thanks in great part to the wonderful Bidenomics, the amount taxpayers pay each year in interest on our national debt is now almost a trillion dollars. Bidenomics has raised interest rates to the point that the Treasury Department is now paying over 5% on new treasury bonds. In addition, Biden and the Democrats insisted on increasing spending above pre-pandemic levels.

Sunday, Oct. 29, Mercury, informative 2nd page. Shapiro’s lies — vouchers, shutdowns, jobs lost and an aide’s sex harassment cover-up. No longer Mr. Clean. On to Bonnie’s Sound Off post. Four lines say it all. comparing Trump’s mean tweets to Biden’s lurch toward World War III. Much to ponder over morning coffee.

Portly, throws around the big word “authoritarianism” like he knows what it means. Authoritarianism is mandating an unproven vaccine for the military or you get thrown out, being against school choice, stopping the construction of pipelines, ending oil leases, creating endless regulations, getting the FBI to infiltrate the Catholic Church, censoring social media, banning gas stoves and water heaters, etc. That is what Biden did and is doing.

In a blow to President Biden’s “green” dream, Ford and GM announced that they will be scaling back and/or delaying their electric vehicle efforts due to poor demand and billions of dollars of losses on these vehicles. Imagine how weak EV demand would be if the bumbling Biden administration was not giving buyers a whopping $7,500 tax credit for each purchase.

Jay Miller, hope you received your COVID and flu shots and all the others, but that is each person’s decision, not the government or the drug companies and especially AARP funded by the Democrat Party. The drug companies make COVID-19 a big thing, then they also have another drug in case you get COVID-19. Big Money all around for the drug company supported by the government.
Was anyone else as disappointed as I was about the traditional National League Championship baseball game? It was presented by a bunch of has-been, BS artists instead of professional baseball announcers as usual. Sure, they were great in their day, but so were thousands of others. Thank God the World Series was presented in a professional and entertaining way. Baseball doesn’t need any more stumbling blocks.

Whoa! I can’t believe it. Mike Pence is withdrawing from consideration for the Republican nominee for President. “Mr. Mayonnaise” said that he still supports conservative values, whatever that means. Pence was a terrible vice president and sucked up to Inmate P1135809 and almost got himself killed. Plus, he ran out of money. Loser!

Joe Biden has reached several milestones that no other president before him has done. Those milestones include the following: Record high gas prices. Record high food prices. Record high inflation rates. Record high energy bills. Countless numbers of terrorists crossing our supposedly secure border. People are unable to afford homes because of interest rates. According to liberals like Moderate, KC, Miller, Lefty, and P54, this is what qualifies as success in their book. Sad.

If you recall in 2022 the radical Republicans ran on campaigns of stopping crime. It helped the radical Republicans take the House. It was the platform they ran on. It’s 2023 now, so what has Congress done for crime? Oh wait, the House of reps can’t do anything, they can’t vote for a Speaker of the House. Radical Republicans really are ineffective at anything other than creating false narratives and culture wars.

Otis, do you really think that Biden created this border problem? This has existed for a long time and has never been solved by Congress, which has been overwhelmingly GOP-led for the last 2 decades! The problem is worse now because the situation in these countries is more dire — gangs, economic hardship, climate disasters! Why can’t Congress come up with a viable border policy that works? Because they’re too concerned with impeaching Joe!

Sidney Powell pleads guilty in the Georgia case; agrees to testify “truthfully” in the Georgia trial of her co-defendants, including Trump. Adjudged “crazy” by such shrewd judges of character as Trump and Tucker Carlson, I’d ask her this question: “Did you truly believe the nonsense you were claiming, or was it a deliberate fabrication in an attempt to fool gullible people and seize power?” Remember, she still faces the Fed and Dominion defamation cases.
Casey/Stowe 10/26/23. US in Ukraine because of Biden Crime Family corruption. 2015 VP Biden goes to Ukraine and demands Special Prosecutor Viktor Shokin be removed and investigation into Burisma Energy/Hunter Biden ends or $1 billion in aid ends! Hunter was on Burisma’s Board getting paid $80,000. monthly! Hunter, at the time, was a dysfunctional crackhead being paid $80K monthly knowing nothing about energy! Hunter was paid for access to Joe Biden!
Just the facts!
I found the cartoon on the editorial page of Friday’s Mercury very comical! The Republicans have no need to make Biden look bad! He’s doing a fantastic job of doing that all by himself!

Patriot 45, obviously statistics are baffling to you. Numbers are not political, they are facts. Try reading instead of gathering all of your information from 2 news channels.

Peaches — Are you really that clueless? Taylor Swift having a failing career? Lol. She just became a billionaire and has the biggest-grossing tour in history. As far as Mr. Kelce, why not pursue a successful beautiful woman? Grow up and get informed Peaches.
I am saddened by the way the world is reacting to what happened in Israel on October 7th. Hamas are the ones that slit the necks of babies and burned families while tied up. The chants of gas the Jews make me sick to my stomach. We are letting another Holocaust happen and no one can stop it!

I read that we’re having a coin shortage in the US. I guess it’s true that we’ve actually run out of common “cents”!
