For the left — the Democrats to progressives out there who are holding anti-hate rallies — you should really call it what it is. It’s an anti-Donald Trump hate rally. Don’t be so delusional to think that we don’t know what you’re doing. It’s being funded by George Soros and the people who are showing up are saying that the only people who aren’t there are Trump people. Call a spade a spade. Stop lying.

Black people who were never slaves are fighting white people who were never Nazis over a Confederate statue erected by Democrats because Democrats can’t stand their own history anymore and somehow it’s Trump’s fault. Very interesting.

As a youngster it was always instilled in me that you never buy something you cannot afford. It’s OK to want a new Cadillac but if you only have enough money in your pocket for a used Ford that’s what you have to settle for. You should not waste money on inane radio and television ads and pensions for employees not deserving of it. It’s obvious to me that Gov. Wolf never had that kind of upbringing or he certainly flunked economics in grade school.

Why is the Borough of Pottstown not citing the Pottstown School District for having weeds over 2 feet tall on the property located on Walnut street in Pottstown?

I hope the Democrats are proud of themselves. All they’ve done was tear down the president since he was inaugurated. I can’t believe their actions. You didn’t hear all of this carrying on when Obama was in there and he was no better, no better, than what Trump is doing.

Donald Trump has no grasp of what it means to be president. He said there were fine people that were marching with the KKK, white supremacists and neo-Nazis in Virginia. Trump has emboldened America’s extreme far right. He has empowered these groups of domestic terrorists. He is putting this country back in the 50s and 60s when it comes to race relations. He was the same way during the early years when he refused to rent his apartment to blacks.

So when is Def Leppard going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame? They’ve done more than a lot of other bands that were stupidly inducted. Def Leppard is a great band. They’ve sold a lot of albums and they’ve done a lot of neat things. It’s time that they get inducted into the Hall of Fame as the rock ‘n’ roll groups. Come on people let’s keep rock ‘n’ roll alive, induct Def Leppard.

The difference between Antifa and the KKK is that the KKK brutalized and killed blacks, hung them from trees, burned their churches and homes, killed black children and killed civil rights activists. The Nazis killed millions of Jews in World War II. Need I go on? Antifa wants to make sure that we do not forget what these groups represent. Stand up, make sure it never happens again. Learn your history and maybe we won’t repeat it.

And another one bites the dust. Billionaire Carl Icahn has severed ties with Donald Trump while even Steve Bannon steps down from his job as Trump’s advisor. There goes Trump’s approval ratings. At the end of the day Trump will be standing alone with his family. How low can he go before the lily-livered Congress puts a stop to his madness?

If you want a really good meal on a Friday and a Saturday at the Liberty Firehouse in New Berlinville go for it. They have a really, really good cook.

This is to the person complaining about Gov. Wolf again. Well the House and Senate are controlled by the Republicans so tell them how to fix the budget. Stop your whining.

The FAA and online security make me feel so much better when it comes to ISIS and drones.

To Big D, you need to take your head out of the clouds.

Tea Party, have you ever read any books on the KKK or the Nazis about how they treated the people they hated? I’m not talking about throwing rocks and stealing. I’m talking about rape, torture and murder. You must have no idea what these hateful people did to the Jews, blacks and the mentally challenged. The fact is the new KKK and neoNazis of today condone this behavior which is really scary.

I want to thank Mom Mom for her honest and truthful advice. Only love can conquer hate. Only light will eliminate darkness. Thank you again. You are a lovely Mom Mom and a blessing to many. Also a shout-out to Mark Furlong. Appreciated your letter to the editor the other week in The Mercury. Glad to see people who do realize what’s going on.
