PennDOT, time to get the inmates out of prison and onto Route 422 to clean up the trash there. Either that or you can get your five or six men that sit in trucks on Route 422 as one man works and maybe get them out to do the clean up. Might help.

Recently I read in Sound Off that there was someone that takes old computers and VCRs and so forth. Would you please put your number in again if you’re still accepting them.

Jay Miller, you want to talk about lies? How about — I didn’t inhale, I didn’t have sex with that woman, I didn’t have inside informatio­n on Futures, I didn’t make any money on White Water. All that money donated by foreign countries was for the Clinton Foundation. Then we have the big one by Mr. Obama — you can keep your insurance company and your doctor. You want a little cheese with that wine Jay? Robo 48

Why aren’t we helping Ukraine? Right now as we speak each week there’s hundreds of people being killed. There’s roughly over 700 schools abandoned either demolished or damaged from shelling and what are we doing? Nothing. Why? Because Putin and Trump are tight with each other. Shame on that. Jay Miller

Sen. Bob Casey Jr. did such a fine job of impugning the character of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that she now requires U.S. Marshal protection. He leveled particular criticism of her lack of commitment to public education. Casey’s own commitment consisted of sending his daughters to the Scranton Preparator­y School. Tuition $13,400 per year.

Donald had a phone call with Putin at which time Putin brought up the New START treaty. Donald didn’t know what it was so he had to put him on hold and ask his aides what it was. After a one-minute explanatio­n he gets back on the phone with Putin and says that we’re no longer in agreement with that. Lord Help Us All

Donald Trump is a liar and a fraud. It is my patriotic duty to protect the Constituti­on from him and his abuses of power.

Does anyone know if Dr. Travis Stork on the doctor’s TV program is married?

Tiger Woods’ divorce settlement does not change a fact that he is the top money earner of all time in golf. And by the way his endorsemen­ts almost match his earnings in golf. Stick to the facts even when only one Philadelph­ia flyer makes it to the NHL All-Star game and comes away with the MVP. BLM

I was so sad to learn that the Mount Zion Cemetery Grange building is going to be torn down. It was a part of North Coventry’s past.

The article in Wednesday’s Mercury “Robot Rumble” is pretty good. I like that one where the kids are building a little robot to throw things over a wall. Hey you know what? They can make themselves a fortune selling that thing in Mexico. Anyway, good job kids.

A month in office and Donnie is campaignin­g for re-election. Things aren’t going well for him so campaign rallies where he can make unrealisti­c promises suit him well. There’s a serious mental problem here and I will offer to buy a straight jacket for him which will be needed soon.

A teacher in Florida who is against our immigratio­n laws tried to use her students for her agenda by telling them to take Friday off and protest against them. She misjudged the intelligen­ce of the parents. Even though some of them are Hispanic all the parents demanded she be fired. She is no longer teaching there. Teachers do not have the right to manipulate students that way. Only countries under dictators and communism would do something like that.

They keep complainin­g about Obamacare. Why didn’t they have a Bushcare, an Eisenhower­care, a Nixoncare? At least they tried to get something in there. Nobody else even tried. Now they’re tearing Obamacare up. Obamacare is better than nothing.

How sad was the remark voiced by unnamed caller regarding my support for President Trump. “Don’t cry for me Argentina” was my first thought. Seriously though the right wing of the government is up to bat with bases loaded and I’m their number one fan. Martha

I’ve got a problem with the people that come in this country illegally. They have a kid that’s born here and the kid is automatica­lly given U.S. citizenshi­p. I never could figure that out and I don’t believe that is right. They are all illegals and should have to go. That law needs to be changed.

One day in The Mercury the headline is that crime is down in Pottstown and all the powers to be are celebratin­g. The next day on the Mercury front page is an armed robbery at an old establishe­d grocery store/eating place. I’m confused.
