If thin-skinned Trump doesn’t want to attend the White House correspond­ents dinner they should just have SNL’s Alec Baldwin replace him. As an added bonus bring Melissa McCarthy, aka, Sean “adjective” Spicer. They would be more entertaini­ng anyway. Bob

This is in reply to Mark Furlong. Does he hate everybody that doesn’t think the way he thinks or is it just the Democrats he hates? We have enough hate in the world. What we need is love and understand­ing. People have a right to belong where they want to belong not where someone else says they must. Ms. B.

Why does your president have six Goldman-Sachs people with clear ties to the Russian oil industry in his cabinet? He can say what he wants. It just doesn’t correspond to what he is doing. Pay attention.

Mark Furlong, being as you always have something to say no matter what, how is it you are never running for office? I would like to see your name on the ticket just one time.

I read that urinating on a jellyfish sting relieves the pain but I can’t help wondering who the first person to figure that out was. Jim Fitch

To all you senior citizens, if you really think those people you voted in office are for you, you’re mistaken. A very simple tax to take care of property, sales and a dozen other taxes is called the flat tax. No matter what you earn in Pennsylvan­ia whether it’s $1,000 or $1 billion a year, you would pay the same amount of tax, no questions asked. It would without a doubt take care of our problems. Tell your elected official. If he doesn’t listen vote against him next time.

I used to enjoy watching the awards shows especially the Academy Awards. Now they are like a political platform for stars or wanna-be stars to voice their opinion. True they have every right to speak their piece but don’t use public award shows to do it. I just want to be entertaine­d while watching these shows.

Trump’s two sons went on a business trip overseas this past week to secure a new business for the family wealth. It cost the American people over $100,000 for the security to keep them safe and the cost to send six FBI agents. They stayed in the best hotels so the FBI agents must also stay there. We are keeping them safe on our dime so they can do business for the family wealth. Unbelievab­le.

I can’t find the Philadelph­ia Phillies ballgames on my radio. I’m trying AM and FM. Can someone please let me know what channel or station I can get this ballgame on this year?

President Trump is looking for ways to cut spending. He could also start saving by stop funding shrimp running on a treadmill or studying the mating habits of a sand flea.

This is for the Pottstown bus service. City bus drivers, please stop using Hillside Drive apartments, that area, the streets there, to cut through. You’re destroying the street. There’s no stops on this road for the bus. So please go down to Firestone and make a left onto High Street like you’re supposed to.

I just had a great idea. Let’s send Hillary and Obama to the moon and leave them there.

Harry Truman had a saying “The buck stops here.” Donald Trump says “Pass the buck.” Jay Miller

Every time you hear someone talking about Social Security and Medicare in a negative way, you know it’s a Republican. Senior citizens, they’re out to destroy Medicare and Social Security. Don’t let them get away with it. This is a plea.

It’s amazing how these people can stand up front and criticize the president when he’s in there for one month and saying he’s not doing anything and then they can’t even hand the correct envelope to the people when they want to give an award out. Really some kind of carrying on isn’t it?

Hey Jay Miller. I’d be inclined to agree with the ghost writer as you call them because you’ve never left a comment that I agree with. JB

Are you kidding me? “No one knew how complicate­d health care could be.”

That’s a quote from your president who promised to repeal and replace Obamacare on day one. That’s what happens when you make promises on things that you know nothing about. Keep stumbling through this Donnie.

It’s not about your ego and how large the crowds were.

Dear Trump supporters, perhaps labels in your hats are “alternate facts.” So consider that.
