LEAF OF ABSENCE
To the caller complaining about the Times devoting space to a Sequoia tree out in Idaho: Did you know there’s a rare tree in Springfield’s Wagner Wayside Park in Springfield? It’s one of only five in the commonwealth. Why don’t you go there with your children and see if you can spot it? SERIOUS ON SAXER AVE.
TIMES ARE CHANGING
To “Revolving Doors,” there’s over 400 years combined when you add up the time since John Facenda and all those weathermen died – wake up, newsflash, smell the coffee. A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER
UNFAIR TRADE
Hey Donald, trade wars don’t work. If you tariffs on their products, they’ll do the same back to us and nobody wins. What is needed is a fair wage law on imports. Imports should have to add to the price of their product what it would cost if they had to pay their workers the same wages as they would pay a worker in this country. Sometimes they would win, sometimes we would win. JUST WONDERING DAN
GET YOUR PHILLY
To “Stop Your Whining,” considering how many people in Delaware County work in Philadelphia, do business with Philadelphia-based companies, visit relatives there, and have had our state and federal tax money go towards grants for the city school system, I think we entitled to voice our opinion on Philadelphia.
FAKE SOUND OFF
Think about this: Fake news begets fake president. JOHN FROM EDDYSTONE
TRUMPCARE DIAGNOSIS
“The Truth Shall Set You Free Unless You’re A Liberal,” is so clueless it is mind boggling. What was meant by the caller saying the “conservatives saying the bill didn’t go far enough to hurt the poor was” was that the legislators didn’t think it cut Medicaid deep enough, and cutting Medicaid hurts the poor. But you’re so addle-brained that you can’t figure this out. Then again, that’s typical of Trump supporters – you’re all addle-brained.
ROOT OF ALL EVIL
Another symptom of what is wrong with our country is a contract J.J. Redick got from the Sixers. And it’s not just basketball players, it’s all athletes. These people are not brain surgeons, they’re not scientists, they’re athletes for God’s sake. The amount of money that these people made for playing a game the most of us would play for almost nothing is obscene.
THE TRUMP DIFFERENCE
I’m a registered independent voter, and I get a kick out of these people who call in and say that anyone who voted for Donald Trump is dumb. I’ll tell you what’s even dumber – anyone who voted for Barack Obama – not once, but twice – and then voted for Hillary Clinton. Trump may not be perfect, but I’ll tell you this: He’s accomplish more in the short time he’s been in office in the eight years that loser Barack Obama was supposed be our president.
WORDS FAIL
In recent months, much has been written about the complete disarray within the Democratic Party. Of course, Democrats are quick to deny this. Let me offer further proof as to why the statement is completely true: Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer. What more has to be said?
PLENTY OF NOTHING
Why are the Democrats so obsessed with Russia? It’s because their candidate lost. The United States meddles in the elections across Europe and Israel. Everybody’s hacking everybody. So what’s the big deal? They’re making a big deal out of nothing. BOOTHWYN
HIGH ‘PRICE’
Are you kidding me, “Watching Maverick?” I hope you joking when you said that you think “The Price is Right” is rigged. Don’t you think that they know where the people are sitting? They have name tags on. They come into the place and the studio isn’t that big. After all the years that “The Price is Right” has been on, we’re going to attack it now with all the things that are going on in this world?
