High Street running by Sanatoga is becoming a sight. Travel trailers squatting in parking lots. With people living in them year-round. Self-storage. Now a warehouse that will “only” have 1,000 vehicles going in and out a day. Along with who knows how many vehicles the new homes, etc. being built by the outlets will generate. Soon we will look like Camden on the way to the shore. What is Lower Pottsgrove thinking?

White House economic adviser Brian Deese told CNN that high gas prices were a price Americans had to pay for the “future of the liberal world order.” I am sure he can afford the high gas prices because last year his annual salary was $2.4 million, and after he finishes his current stint at the White House, he will get a big raise from some Wall Street firm. The heck with the little guy.

Driver King Hua was killed in a road rage incident in Delaware County. The killer, 22-year-old Saddiq Washington, legally purchased a gun and had a concealed carry permit. Do you blame the inanimate gun or the hot-tempered shooter? The killer obeyed all the gun laws but forgot to obey God’s law — thou shall not kill. What say you Lefty, Jay Miller and Patriot 54?

As I shop for our 4th of July family get-together, I continue to be floored by the prices I am paying for hot dogs, condiments, paper products, and all the other associated picnic items. It has to stop! Joe Biden bragged last year that the 4th of July picnic was costing pennies less than the year before. What does he have to say now? Deal with it, and I will in November!

Gas prices in Germany have always been higher than in the USA, so one would think that if our gas went up, Germany’s would be correspondingly higher. Surprise! Since Joe Biden took office in the USA gas prices have gone up 100% while in Germany gas prices have increased only 54%. Germany imports 98% of its oil. Biden’s dictatorial actions have increased our gas prices and influenced the world market too.

Joe Biden said in response to a reporter’s question about how long Americans would have high gas prices, “as long as it takes”. And as to who was responsible for the gas prices: “Russia, Russia, Russia”. Joe Biden has been below average at everything he has done in his career and as president, he has been a disaster. But not a peep from Shapiro, Fetterman or Madeleine Dean about high gas prices.

Another pro-abortion email from Madeline Dean because Roe was returned to the states! Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Roe was a ”flawed law and must be revisited”! Dean only supports the termination option! Madeline Dean funds a documentary and shows actual late-term abortions! Show the child’s neck being stabbed to sever the spinal cord to kill the baby! Demand that PBS shows the documentary unedited! Madeline Dean how about it? Come on get it out there!

The January 6 committee had a stellar day and the highlight was the touching moment when Liz Cheney hugged Cassidy Hutchinson after her testimony. When you are an impartial committee member that is how you demonstrate your impartiality. The January 6 committee is a joke.

From The Hill: “Unless we wake up soon to the urgency of the climate crisis, we’ll be dealing with far worse than expensive gasoline. New research reveals that inaction on climate change could cost the world’s economy $178 trillion by 2070. The human suffering, death and destruction related to unprecedented heat waves, chronic droughts, devastating wildfires, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events, is the direct result of the heat-trapping emissions from burning coal, oil and gas.”

Luke says President Biden lies more than any other president. I heard that before and he said the ConMan lied more than 24,000 times. here’s one for you your party is going down in shambles. more to come and hopefully, Trump will be behind bars And not destroying our democracy? Trump and his supporters Wanted to hang pence!

One of the newest claims from the far-right is that moderate Republican elected officials are ‘establishment RINOs’ and must be purged, along with all the socialist democrats that hate America. Wonder why they feel that way? Are they in the way of a true far-right takeover of everything? There’s a quote to the effect, “People get the government they deserve.” What do you want? Who will you vote for?

The new Supreme Court majority has acted to severely curtail the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate CO2 emissions. It’s a great victory for The Joker and others who just want to watch the world burn. Oh well, maybe the world will be better off without us.

Can someone tell me why when something doesn’t go the way democrats want it to they scream, yell, destroy, intimidate and break the law and nothing ever happens to them? The Democrats in office are saying go out and fight and do not do what the Supreme Court says … hmmm, that sounds like an insurrection to me! But they can do it and not get punished! Seems wrong to me!

FYI when you lie to congress and testify hearsay narrative, make sure the people you are quoting are going to back up your phony story. The secret service might end up hauling you away! You can’t make this crap up! No, wait! Maybe you can! Maybe you can be arrested for perjury too! What a farce! Trump wins again!

Of all the things Joe Biden and his administration have done to bring down our country, perhaps the most egregious has been his welcome mat to the world on our southern border. About 2 million illegal immigrants have come to America across our southern border which he says, “is closed.” One can only imagine what the number would be if it was open! History may show that this policy was ultimately the downfall of America.

I wonder if at some point in her life Chrissy Houlahan was an aspiring actress. If so it didn’t work out too well but to her credit, she managed to land the role of PA 6’s Congressional representative. Possessing the intellectual firepower of a Jay Miller she’s been a faithful and compliant servant of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and has brought the nation and the district to the verge of ruin with their actions.

Michael Stern, remember, the Constitution was written when a good rifleman could get off 2 shots in 1 minute, not 30 rounds in 5 seconds.

I was surfing through the channels last week and I came upon what I thought was the January 6 Committee hearings. I thought they were showing new video evidence because the protest was much more violent than I had seen before. I was mistaken. It was footage of abortion-rights protestors violently attacking the Arizona Senate building in Phoenix on June 24th.

The pundits predict GOP sweeps in November. Perhaps. But I sense some desperation from the far-right in their messaging, as if they are not completely convinced they’ve brainwashed enough people to win. One of their latest attempts is some talking head on FOX, claiming Biden and the Dems have an “anti-human” agenda, promoting famine and starvation. Why, of course, they are obviously agents of the Devil, bent on destroying humanity. And, don’t forget, buy “Relaxium.”

The Democrat’s theatrical production of the January 6th dust-up is a total flop. If it were a regular network fictional series, it would’ve been canceled after the first episode. The Democrats are giving airtime to any progressive softy who has ever been offended by Donald Trump. Not a single person has been allowed to testify on behalf of those wrongfully accused. What a waste of time and taxpayer money!

Imagine the outrage if the testimony at the Jan.6 hearings was coming from Democrats. But it was from Republicans, some appointed by Trump. They were under tremendous pressure. They could have gone along with his corrupt plan, but they did not deny the oath they took. Their integrity saved our country. Armed intimidators were sent to their homes, but they didn’t buckle. The scum that stuck by him wanted pardons. They’re scared.

Vicky, your brother stole your diary and your father handled the situation, good. Ashley Biden’s diary was stolen by a thief that conspired to sell it to a right-wing media outlet. Until it’s recovered nobody knows the truth of what it says. Minninger, so the orange-skinned liar didn’t get 2 Nobel’s, but he did get 2 impeachments, sounds fair. Crabtree, you’ve lived a thousand lifetimes? Are you a vampire or the devil incarnate?

In 2001, India started using recycled plastic to build roads. The roads are still intact today and no potholes. They have 26,000 miles of plastic roads and still counting. The perfect solution to a big problem.

Unless you are a minister, priest or rabbi, please don’t quote scripture. Some of our phony patriots like to do that but it is so hypocritical. They will quote some passage that later turns into racial, homophobic or other hateful rants about something that offends them. Stop it now! I’m looking at you, Freedom Fighter. Ban All Assault Weapons!

Roe v. Wade is gone. Finally. SCOTUS met the moment and made history, correcting the most egregious judicial distortion of the Constitution in living memory. A leak of the draft weeks ago was a shameful attempt by the Democrats to poison the well in hopes of forcing a change in the court’s majority opinion. Returning abortion law back to the decision of the states is the greatest win for democracy that we’ll see in our lifetimes.

While the assault on our Democracy by the January 6 committee continues, other factions in the Democrat party are opening a new flanking attack on our Democracy. Congressman AOC and Senator Elizabeth Warren are baselessly calling the Supreme Court illegitimate. These elected officials are doing real damage to our nation with this line of attack. Disagreeing with a decision and listing reasons is one thing, but ad hominem personal attacks are outrageous.

To supplement my retirement income, I’m thinking about offering autographed pictures of myself to everyone I know. Cost … $5.00 for the picture, $10.00 to be taken off the contact list!
