I DON’T WANT TO PAY TAXES
I agree with “Against School Taxes” about seniors being forced to keep paying school taxes. I, for one, never used public schools, yet I continue to pay school taxes – what a rip off. If you’re 70 or more, you should not have to pay school taxes. SOMEONE HELP US
WHAT A PRIZE
If President Trump pulls this off with the North Korean regime and denuclearization, I think he should be given the Nobel Peace Prize. REALIST IN RIDLEY
WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?
With Michael Cohen pleading the Fifth, Donald Trump is once again stuck with his foot in his mouth. News stations have been playing clips of Donald Trump during the campaign talking about Hillary Clinton’s aides pleading the Fifth, and talking about “if they don’t have anything to hide, why are they pleading the Fifth?” So if Michael Cohen doesn’t have anything to hide, why is he pleading the Fifth?
RICH AND FILTHY
To “Poor And Republican,” you know you Republicans cry the same old song. “I work for everything I got.” That’s a bunch of baloney. If you take a statistic, the Republican Party is the richest party in this country. This is a known fact. Most Republicans I know are all filthy rich.
GIVE HIM CREDIT
Isn’t it ironic you don’t see any issues on this Korean affair that directly came from our president, Donald Trump? That he’s actually bringing these people together and putting peace on this country? When Barack Obama was in for three months, he got the Nobel Peace Award for nothing. There’s nothing mentioned in the newspapers, on the news or anything giving credit to Donald Trump. Unbelievable. R.G. IN RIDLEY PARK
BOYCOTT DONALD
I read Tuesday’s “Trump ERA” story about “The Donald’s” attitude toward the press. He is uncomfortable when put on the spot with questions that he doesn’t care to address. His lack of press conferences is his way out of these situations. Why not show him what it’s like — get united and take one day of the year and direct your energy to a local issue that doesn’t involve Mr. Trump. A one-day national press boycott of the “prez” would be good for the country. Wouldn’t it be nice to pick up the morning newspaper and not find one story or picture of Mr. Trump? Print all good, happy, heroic stories that day. I dare you! REMEMBER ARMED FORCES DAY
THEN AND NOW
To the callers talking about Obama’s vacations: Obama pulled some really obnoxious stuff treating the executive branch like a 1960s jet set travel agency (what would you expect from someone coming out of Chicago Democratic politics?) but Trump has also out of control from the constant small trips up and down the east coast racking up millions each time (what would you expect from someone who spent their life as a New York Democrat?). Two wrongs don’t make a right.
DODGE THAT, ‘WONDERING’
“Just Wondering” wants the moron who calls Trump “President Bonespurs” to explain in which branch of the military Obama served. Obama didn’t serve. But there’s a difference: President Bonespurs used the “bonespurs in my foot” to evade the draft during Vietnam. There was no draft when Obama could have served. So President Bonespurs is a creep and a liar and a hypocrite and a draft dodger, but we already knew that. THE MORON
SOMETHING FISHY
I disagree with the callers who say Hollywood makes nothing but garbage anymore. I think the movies that come out of Hollywood are better than ever! Just look at this year’s Best Picture — it was about a girl who makes love to a fish. In the old days, they would never make a movie about intraspecies love but now we have the freedom to tell stories that have never been told before. (The girl and the fish live happily ever after, too, or maybe they drown. I’m not quite sure.)
