Defund climate science, slash funding for education, reduce funding to Medicaid by over $83 billion over a 10-year period, shut down public broadcasti­ng like Sesame Street, no more Meals on Wheels in Trump land and if you do have insurance thanks to Obamacare, there’s a real good chance you’ll be one of the 28 million people who will lose your health care. I can go on and on. What a great country we live in.

The person’s account of President Trump’s rental agreement was as bad as his knowledge of the three wise men. The manger was not the property of the three kings. Situated in a stable on land managed for Trump by the innkeeper Trump received payment of gold, frankincen­se and myrrh from the innkeeper who had just been paid by the wise men for services rendered at the Ye Olde Inn of Bethlehem.

I don’t usually call in with complaints but today I’m going to. I can barely walk and my husband was outside for two and a half hours clearing sidewalks and, just like the lady Beverly who complained, the snow plow came along and shoveled it right back onto our side. So a little later my husband paid someone to clean it off. Thanks a lot Mr. Snow Plow in Stowe. I think it was a white utility truck. It wasn’t our regular snow plowing truck. Our people have more respect.

I see where Mark Furlong has nothing good to say about Trump so he goes after Obama as usual. Hey Mark, he’s not the president remember? And upon investigat­ion into criminalit­y there really was none except maybe what Trump dreamed up. By the way he’s going to break Obama’s record for playing golf while in office in one year with three more to go. What a loser and lying more everyday.

Well I see Pottstown Post Office is at it again only delivering mail two to three days a week in the Coventries. This is absolutely unacceptab­le and not only that, they take their phone off the hook so they don’t have to listen to complaints. I called six times on Friday and got the busy signal all day long.

According to USA Today on Friday Donald Trump’s wiretap claim debunked. Another lie.

It is not the government’s job to pay for your health insurance. Also it is not the government’s job to tell companies how much they should pay their employees.

I’ve lived in the Phoenixvil­le Borough for 62 years and I’ve never found it so bad. They don’t clean the main drags. They just let the snow lay there and let the cars take it away. They’re getting paid by the state to clean the main streets and they don’t do it.

Would like to say thank you to the Upper Providence Township Public Works Department road crew doing an outstandin­g job snow plowing our streets with the severe winter storm. This snowstorm with the mixture of rain, sleet and snow and the cold temperatur­e the road surface was cold and made it difficult doing your job. As always you guys come through.

Once again we so-called middle class bear the brunt for everything while the rich get richer and Trump keeps lying away. The number one thief.

If we’re going to have to watch all this tomfoolery and hijinks of our top leadership for the next four years, isn’t it time to legalize recreation­al marijuana so we can at least get high when we watch this stuff?

I find it laughable that the people in rural Pennsylvan­ia that voted for Trump will be hit hardest by his budget cuts. So if you live in a ghost town it’s only going to get worse. You can congratula­te yourselves for falling further into the abyss.

Hey Mark Furlong, please reply or explain why Donald Trump lied about and is still lying about the wiretappin­g of the White House. Even Fox News is silent on the issue. You can’t blame this on Obama or maybe you can and you probably will.

As it turns out most of the people losing health care are the ones that voted for Trump. I keep hearing from supporters that he’s just keeping his promises. In a twisted sort of reality I guess you are more satisfied that he kept his promises than you are of losing your health care. I don’t understand that but I guess good for you.

What is wrong at the Pottstown Post Office? We have not gotten mail for two days. We used to get mail everyday. We need someone else in charge of running it.
