Giving Eric Frein a death sentence is an appalling waste of time, money and effort. The commonwealth of Pennsylvania hasn’t executed anyone in decades. All this sentence does is insure an endless stream of appeals by the bleeding heart liberals who do not believe in law and order. Give him life without parole and let him die in prison. That’s what’s going to happen anyway.

Tea Party

I really would like to know why these mayors of the sanctuary cities aren’t charged for breaking laws. Our attorney general was ousted. Any other person caught breaking laws is arrested. I want to know why there is a double standard to protect illegal immigrants. Don’t you feel it’s disrespectful to the immigrants that have come here legally and done it the right way and want to be a true part of our society?

Our great politicians spending our money. No money for Keim Street bridge and Route 663 bridge all not fixed for many years but have money for bike paths and walks in the millions of dollars for them. Now they’re catering to bikes on individual highways making them 25 mph. Keep the bikers on the bike paths and off the roads. More hazards to us on the road.

This is to Jim Fitch about dismantling your horse. Thank you for your words of wisdom but you still need another ride and this one’s not a thoroughbred.

Hey Hawaiian Punch Party maybe you could explain what’s the great big surprise we’re going to get in Georgia. So you think Trump didn’t have any knowledge of anything, yet you’re going to back a guy who was a Hollywood producer who may have interned once and doesn’t know a thing and just goes up there and spouts off. Is that the great big surprise?

Does anyone know of an organization in the Royersford area that accepts eyeglasses? I would gladly donate some if a reader could provide that information.

Right on Mark Furlong. I agree wholeheartedly that the Trump family are running rackets. However you are totally ignorant to the facts of civil rights and global warming.

Right On

To my senior friends who wish property taxes could be abolished, here’s a list of some representatives who are stopping that from happening: Seth Grove 717-767-3947, the worst one is Mike Turzai 412-369-2230, Kerry Benninghoff 814-355-1300 and of course our local state rep here who said he was with us and then turned his back on us at the last minute is Tim Hennessey 610-380-8600. You can call these people and let them know how you feel.

Donald Trump’s new tax reform is for business and for the rich, so what’s new?

To Hawaiian Punch Party concerning your comments to Moms Mobley, what is your point? Yes the Donald ran against 17 of the best Republicans and then ran against supposedly the best suited politician in the world, Hillary Clinton. And yes, little knowledge of how the system works, that’s what the people want. A far as surprises in Georgia? Well you should be able to relate, you got one heck of a surprise in November. Don’t worry eight years will fly by for you.

One Who Really Really Knows

Hey Democrats, what about your former President Obama who’s now going to be taking $400,000 from Wall Street? The same people that he said were evil, the same people that he said were fatcat bankers who were out to destroy the average person and now he’s taking money from them. What an about-face. What hypocrisy. Or he’s a Democrat and that’s what they do, say one thing and do another.

Nonpartisan American was somewhat disturbed by my delivery of the definition of a lie. It was only made in jest. I guess I failed to launch a Jim Fitch-type comment. Mea culpa.

There should be no changes in the federal tax program until Trump releases his tax returns. He must release his tax returns as presidents have done over the last four decades.

If you drive a school van for Boyertown School District you would know what the speed limit is on Reading Avenue. Obviously a school van was in a real hurry to get someplace. I really hope this woman made it. This is something we ought to start cracking down on, these unsafe bus drivers especially when you have kids in the bus. But I’m just a dumb stupid idiot that obeys the traffic laws and has common courtesy so what does my opinion matter anyway.

Slow down

I was just wondering why the speed limit by the Redner’s on Charlotte Street is 25 mph going south but if you’re going north it’s 40 mph. That doesn’t make sense.
