To the poor uninformed Trump supporter who believes his lie that he is working for free, apparently you haven’t heard about his 17 golf trips in only 81 days in office at a cost to taxpayers of $21.6 million. You call that free?

Hey Al, the Phantom told you the truth. If you listened to the real news not Fox News you would have heard that the Congress found nothing to charge Susan Rice with. You are a truly diehard Republican I assume. Yankee Doodle Dandy

I used to enjoy the show “Last Man Standing” but now all it is always about is that one daughter and I’m getting fed up with it.

I don’t care if they are putting a bike lane on Industrial Highway. There’s no reason why bicyclists should be able to go faster than cars.

I was recently at a pub and I heard a woman implore the patrons to boycott Yuengling beer because Dick Yuengling supports President Trump. I asked her if she considered that Yuengling employees hundreds of Pennsylvan­ians in a region that lacks good jobs and why does she hate those who don’t share her political views? She could not respond. Unbelievab­le.

The article in Wednesday’s Mercury regarding Memorial Park included a diagram that showed a tennis court and indicated it was unusable. What a shame. Perhaps the Greater Pottstown Tennis Associatio­n could do something about bringing back public tennis courts to Pottstown. Billy Jean King

My question is why do we need to speed up baseball? It’s a game we watch. It’s leisure time for us to scream, to shout, to cry. I’m a senior. I remember double headers. There were a lot of them, and again why is speed so important today? Speed kills and that includes baseball, football, basketball, soccer, rugby and daily living. A Senior

This message is for state Sen. John Rafferty or any of our state reps. If you can’t get money appropriat­ed to fix the bridge at Keim Street, can you at least get us some flowers so we can plant them in the pile of dirt that’s been sitting in front of the bridge for about eight years now? Maybe you could do that at least.

From blogger David Burge on Today’s Press, “Journalism is about covering important stories... with a pillow until they stop moving.”

After almost 100 days your president has done nothing but make false claims and fall short of doing any of the things he promised during the campaign. Are you tired of winning yet? Hilarious.

If Trump continues his weekly vacations, before the end of the year it will have cost the American people more than the whole eight years for President Obama. Remember he complained about President Obama’s costs as many of you Republican­s did. Also Trump stated that on the first day on the job he would repeal and replace Obamacare. Another lie. Clark S. Kent

Upper Pottsgrove Commission­ers, thank you, thank you, thank you for the animal nuisance ordinance. On day number two it already looked like it’s helping. Could be a coincidenc­e, I’m hoping not, but again thank you, thank you, thank you.

It’s totally disgusting when a judge tells a convicted murderer that he’s a danger to society and then gives him a measly 10 years in prison. Totally disgracefu­l. Rest in peace Mr. Braxton.

This is to the person that says when these other golfers played 25 or 30 years ago the purses weren’t like today, but only one problem with that, Tiger Woods has the second most wins in about 18 years of playing compared to Sam Snead who played 30 years. So think about that. Also about cheating on his wife, what about Donald Trump? I think he cheated about three times on his wives. Jay Miller

Being a serial sexual harasser has destroyed Bill O’Reilly’s career and the best he can hope for now is to be the president of the United States.

To all the seniors who are concerned about their property tax, our politician­s are doing everything they can to help us out there. They put more taxes on it instead of taking it off, Montgomery County added some more, we need more police here, we need more fire engines, we need more of everything. A lot of these things that they’re asking for are not needed and some of it is actually wasteful.

Republican­s are working hard to ruin our country. Take away our right to clean air and water? Thank you so much President Trump. The Progressiv­e Patriots

It’s official, the no spin zone is dead and not too soon. This should have happened 10 years ago. So now he can write a new book called “Killing O’Reilly” so you Fox fans can waste another $30.
