President Trump did not say he condoned what happened in Charlottesville. I repeat, did not condone it. He simply stated a fact — there were two sides there, both were involved.

Once again you people on the left are totally incapable of accepting the truth. If you listened to what the president said, yes, neo-Nazis, the Klan and white supremacists are bad people, but so are Black Lives Matter, Antifa and those violent thugs from the left. There is equal blame for both sides and neither side has the high ground.

Tea Party

Everyone needs to remember it takes two to tango. Charlottesville was a dance that went horribly wrong.

Sad thing is people today want to claim victimization. I call it the lottery mentality. George Washington was a veteran and the Civil War people were veterans. From 1776 to 1865, all those folks were veterans who fought in those wars. Let’s remember what they did and having a statue in their character is a great thing. Remember history.

After reading the insert about Montgomery County Community College in Wednesday’s Mercury, I can’t believe that three county commissioners can go and put a tax on all the homeowners and property owners in Montgomery County to support the business and everything else that they’re teaching but they’re also teaching dance and theater. What kind of a college course is dance and theater that all the people in Montgomery County should be paying for?

I’m calling about the street construction in the North End of Pottstown. All of our furniture on the porch and all of our cars are full of dirt and the stones are everywhere in the street. Is the borough going to clean up all the stones after all this construction? The construction vehicles are going faster than 25 mph which is the speed limit here in town past our house all day and night. They start at 7 a.m. and stop at 8 or 9 p.m. Who’s cleaning up the mess?

Just Wondering

After I get divorced I am never getting married again. Instead I’m just going to find a woman I don’t like and I’m just going to give her a house.

There you go again Bonnie talking about things that are not exactly the truth. President Obama does not and never did hate the military. Your president dodged the draft with five deferments, now he surrounds himself with generals that he claims are not as smart as he is. Stick to the facts Bonnie.

Have you noticed all these short messages by Gov. Wolf about small items that are going on in Pennsylvania and then it says “Paid for by taxpayers?” It’s no wonder Pennsylvania has no money if we have to tell everybody how to solve their own commonsense problems.

This is to the person who commented about watching a lot of golf. Apparently you never played the game. It’s not a coin that they use to mark where a golf ball lands on the green, it’s a small brown plastic marker.

For the ladies or gentlemen who are calling about numerous calls about credit cards, I got them three or four times a day. Well I got tired of it. I blow a whistle in the phone now and they don’t call as much.

Washington and Jefferson owned slaves, fought to create the U.S. government, swore oaths to defend this government. Robert E. Lee owned slaves. He took an oath as an officer to the federal government, then he turned around, broke his oath, fought for slavery and he should be considered a traitor.

Why would Donald Trump attack Amazon which is the leading Internet retailer in the world? They also employ thousands and thousands of Americans. Simple, because of the CEO’s ownership in the Washington Post. However The Post and Amazon are two different companies. He is a vicious vindictive person for which there is no room in the White House for such a person. He is also a bigot after his third different remark about Virginia.

A big shout-out to nurse Mike on the second floor of Pottstown hospital for holding my hand and getting me through a scary and unknown procedure I had to have done the other day. Thanks again, I really appreciated all your help.

What is the difference between David Duke supporting Donald Trump and the anti-Semite and racist Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton supporting Obama? There is no difference. The media only wants to call out what goes on with the right. They never want to comp to what’s happening on the left. Antifa is exactly the same as the KKK. They burn, they loot, they create violence. There’s no difference.
