Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversati­on.

I cannot believe the state of our country. We have government officials publicly pronouncin­g our president should be assassinat­ed, elected mayors who take oaths to uphold our laws and protect our citizens and then publicly state they instead protect illegal immigrants, judges opposing our president for trying to keep our country safe from what Europe is dealing with. I truly question the mental stability of a large majority of my fellow Americans. May God bless us. Lady Di

Where’s the animal rights activists and why aren’t they complainin­g when they tore down the statues? It took away the birds’ pedestals to stand on and deprived them of the food the people fed them there. It also took away their place to relieve themselves and to take target practice.

While these haters are looking to remove these statues, let’s go with all the statues. Let’s get rid of all the Martin Luther King statues. Let’s get rid of the Lady Liberty, we don’t need her anymore. Let’s get rid of the baseball statues, how about Babe Ruth? And the Rocky statue, how about we get rid of that and William Penn from City Hall Philadelph­ia? You want to get rid of them, let’s get rid of them all.

In Royersford you would think it is Fourth of July but it’s not fireworks. It’s like a bomb. It sets off a loud explosion like a bomb and there’s no one that comes through here to see this and then in the daytime they’re running these motorcycle­s and they don’t have a license. Where’s the police? I was just wondering what happens when an accident happens because when you’re walking you get scared when you hear those darn motorcycle­s.

I see Donnie had another pity party in Arizona. Poor Donnie everybody’s picking on him.

Breaking news. President Donald Trump plans to shut the government down if he can’t get the money to build the wall he had promised his supporters. Remember Donald Trump said the wall will be paid for by Mexico? Hilarious.

I’m tired of reading about politics, about the left or the right, what about us middle class who are in the center of all this mess? I think the right doesn’t know what the left is doing. Stay Tuned

With the way Trump is bad mouthing the media and First Amendment in general you have to question his sanity and more importantl­y his loyalty to this great country of ours. Fact

We have two presidents, one that speaks from the teleprompt­er and one that speaks his own mind. Someone from his staff has made an analogy when Trump speaks his mind it’s like a football team that has a game plan and then their star running back takes the ball and sprints down the field and scores a touchdown for the other team.

To the caller asking if I ever read books on the KKK and the Nazis, of course I have and I have never in my life condoned anything that those evil people did. The KKK raped, murdered, lynched, hung blacks and Jews. They were the political action arm of the Democrat Party in the South. As far as the Nazis you don’t have to go far to find out how evil they were. Just read Dinesh D’Souza’s book “The Big Lie,” it explains all about the Nazis and their roots in the Democrat Party. Tea Party

Just to educate Rich from Eagleville a little bit, Gov. Wolf has a PhD from the Massachuse­tts Institute of Technology. Just thought I’d tell you that.

I’d like to comment about Another View on the opinion page that said “Should Rizzo statue go?” You know what? They should have another mayor like Rizzo. He’d knock a few heads around out of Philadelph­ia maybe straighten that mess up down there instead of this wimpy mayor they have right now.

There should be somebody in the state of Pennsylvan­ia who can do something and stop those credit card calls. We don’t have credit cards and we don’t want any and I just can’t get them to stop calling me. So please if there’s anybody that can do anything about it please do it. Fred

Isn’t it weird that in America our flag and culture offend so many people but our benefits don’t? Grizz

Why is President Trump threatenin­g to shut down our government if he doesn’t get money to build the Mexican border wall? I believe he assured us that the Mexicans would pay for this wall. Yes I’m sure he did. Frattbak

History is our history, the good the bad and the ugly. These Confederat­e statues have been around for decades. Why all of a sudden is 2017 the year they all topple? Why hasn’t this been done during Obama’s presidency?
