A caller recently said that when President Obama was in Laos he was calling the Americans lazy. I didn’t find much coverage on any of the networks but when he was in China the Chinese would not even let him exit from the front door of Air Force One, he had to use the rear entrance.

So that’s the kind of respect around the world. When the Chinese did that they weren’t disrespecting Obama, they were disrespecting the U.S. because that’s what Air Force One represents.

Why are there three times as many men than women Muslim refugees being brought into the U.S. by Obama? Why even one more man than a woman? And why no Christians refugees allowed? After all they are more at risk than any Muslims are. Also why would we want to elect Hillary who has taken money from Muslim countries and promises to import even more Syrian refugees? Do we have a death wish? Info Depot

Two of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s top aides have been given immunity in the email scandal so that they can’t testify against her and they can’t build a case against her. Now with all that corruption what are you going to do if she becomes president?

Dear DP, I can’t speak for Martha but I stand by my comments regarding Hillary’s socialist Marxist agenda guided by her teacher Saul Alinsky. Your problem is that you don’t know what you don’t know. Do a little more reading and research instead of listening to the media rhetoric. Dr. Jimbo

I wasn’t sure before but after the debate the other night, I think we need Trump more than ever. We need to get rid of these lifetime politicians.

Kneeling for the national anthem is not showing disrespect for your country or its freedoms. It’s done peacefully compared to the 60s when Americans were burning the flag to stress their discontent. They’re exercising freedom of speech and discontent for unjust actions towards Americans and paying attention to what’s going on. Doesn’t mean people making millions have to accept unjust behavior because they’re in the public eye and have to be satisfied. They’re American citizens. Men And Women Have Died For This Freedom

I listened to the first debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on the radio as I worked. Trump brought up my gripe — NAFTA. All these free trade deals and what did it do for us blue collar workers? Nothing. And Bill Clinton voted for it, signed it and Hillary always supported it until she suddenly had a change of heart this election season because of Donald Trump’s stand. I can’t wait till November comes. One Blue Collar Democrat For Trump All The Way

Listen, all this talk about constitutional rights and civil rights and everything else, you have no rights when you commit murder, rape, kidnapping, carjacking. Any class one felony you have absolutely no rights at all. This country ought to get with the program. All this talk about “It violated his constitutional rights.” Give me a break.

Spring-Ford is the poster child for what overdevelopment causes. Every time you turn around they need to expand, build on. This is what overbuilding and development causes in the school district. When will these districts realize that the more building that goes on, the more schools are impacted by increased student population? We’ve got to stop this development. It’s ruining everybody’s lives.

Let’s all have some common sense here. If you believe that Bill Clinton went to all that trouble to meet privately with Attorney General Lynch to talk about his grandchildren then you probably believe the 30,000 emails Hillary Clinton deleted we’re nothing but yoga routines. Jim Dandy

This is to try to answer the question why teacher salaries in Pennsylvania are more than they are in other states. I’ll give you a quick survey of it. Most teachers in other states can’t teach in Pennsylvania because of restrictive rules, how strict they are from Harrisburg standards. Number two, Pennsylvania teachers can go anywhere and teach in other states. That’s the reason salaries are higher, their standards are higher.

Martha, you keep saying that the Clintons were involved in the Whitewater scandal but you show no proof. You say Hillary was proved to be involved but you show no facts. Wanting something to be doesn’t make it so. McCarthyism was the practice of making accusations without proper regards for evidence. Please let’s not go down that road. Fact Checker

So nobody won the big debate on Monday night between the two so-called liars but one of them will win big in November. Doesn’t matter which one though. Guess who the losers will be?
