In answer to “I’m tired of being misled,” you’re upset because President Trump picked people who are successful and not politician­s. Look what the politician­s have given us — $20 trillion in debt, no secure border, used our Social Security money for other uses. Look at our local government. How long have they been promising to do something for seniors with the school taxes? About trust, get people who have done something successful instead of all these losers.

I think that the liberals might want a recount of the recent DNC chairperso­n elections where Mr. Perez eeked out a victory over Mr. Ellison reaffirmin­g their party is in complete disarray. After all, their Hollywood crybaby colleagues got it all wrong when they determined the Best Picture of the Year award didn’t they?

When Social Security distributi­ons exceed revenue by $91 billion as was the case in fiscal year 2015 the program can be fairly defined as a Ponzi scheme particular­ly detrimenta­l to the interest of gen-Xers and millennial­s. Mark Furlong

Well America, the miracle man did it again. President Donald J. Trump messed up the Oscar performanc­e the other night. I thought I would tell you this before you crybabies figured it out. After all he gets blamed for everything else and this is no fake news. Ha ha ha. LC, JB Gilbertsvi­lle

This is a thank you to the Royersford doughnut lady for making our day a little sweeter. Keep up the good work.

Have any of you tried the Atkins diet? Did you lose weight on it and were you healthier?

It’s time to get off of the Trump train in my opinion. It’s starting to look more like a trainwreck to me.

Suggestion­s to management about their office staff, some will look into suggestion­s and other people prefer not to. Do not let their double personalit­y fool you. Sometimes we need to move people from one office building to another or they become too cozy in one location.

Oh boo-hoo, a couple of biased news agencies didn’t get invited to an offthe-record background briefing in the press secretary’s office. A free, fair and independen­t news media is essential for democracy. Unfortunat­ely what we have now has decided to choose up sides and belong to the Democrat liberal party. We don’t have a free, fair and independen­t news media. We have propaganda. Tea Party

I would like to know why Donald Trump hasn’t mentioned the infrastruc­ture lately and that worries me. It also worries me about the drug prices which have been going up tremendous­ly and it is just crazy. The government finances them to find the drugs. Seventy-five percent is paid by the taxpayer to find those drugs and we get no reciprocat­ion.

Now Trump is blaming President Obama for the leaks. He and his people said it on TV the other day that Obama is behind the leaks. He’s getting crazier all the time. Jay Miller

How about we not send anymore money overseas? We need it here for the unemployed, the homeless and the children that are starving. Please don’t send it overseas.

Dear God if it’s none of my business to respond to an inquiry made in Sound Off isn’t it also the same scenario when the Boyertown Atheist responded to my reply? Martha To Get The Junkies Out, if the marijuana growing facility comes to Limerick, do you even realize that it will not be a retail outlet? Plus, do you know that you will have an extremely hard time shooting up marijuana? At least you signed your “name.” I do congratula­te that to you. Cap’n Crunch

On a recent Friday evening we dined at Ron’s Crooked Hill Tavern in the enclosed porch area. When the party next to us was leaving, a gentleman stopped to engage us in conversati­on. Fifteen minutes later we learned that he had paid for our meal. We thank him for this kind gesture. Kenton and Gladys Quint

Thank you to the Daniel Boone High School for the wonderful Purse Bingo. All the good food, all the prizes, it was just amazing, and the cafeteria was packed. Thank you again.

I’m just calling to inquire when these people are going to get up here and clean Grant Street off. We’ve got so many rocks and stones flying all over the place and they aren’t doing a darn thing and the taxpayers are paying for this. I’m calling for the whole neighborho­od. Elaine

Well once more I was at the PMMC. I had surgery and the best of care ever. They treat you with respect and dignity and they fulfill your every need and wish and I want to thank all the aides and nurses. You have a really great hospital there.
