I agree wholeheart­edly about Trump and the illegals. They need to go; they shouldn’t be here. However it shows his true colors when he has somebody else deliver the message on television. Also for the person saying about Mr. Obama not serving in the military, the thing is Mr. Obama wasn’t drafted like Trump was, and this shows Trump’s true colors — yellow.

I want to thank The Mercury and Mike Snyder for the wonderful article in Sunday’s paper about industry. I was a Stanley G. Flagg employee of 30 years, my father was 50 years, and it was great to see Flagg’s mentioned in a picture. I’m also collecting memorabili­a from Flagg’s to turn into the industrial museum in Bethlehem; Flagg’s has a spot there. Anybody interested please contact me. Again thank you for the wonderful story and mentioning Flagg’s.

More fake news from the liberal monopolize­d news media. Edited photos were used to make it look like Melania went to the flood zone in high heels to insult her. In fact she traveled in heels and changed into sneakers in Texas. This woman is fluent in five languages and is far smarter than the news anchors and late-night pundits who use the suffering of thousands to further their hate speech towards POTUS.

I have been reading the diatribes by Jay Miller who obviously is way off base. Since when can a president like Donald Trump not build a tower somewhere, and what makes you think he still has something to do with Russia? I think what you ought to get is your things straight. Nobody has proven anything that he said to be a lie. It’s only you liberals who are trying to take him down. Wrong.

We have two hurricanes hitting the country, North Korea is threatenin­g nuclear attacks and Trump is busy figuring out how to kick people out of the country. It shows where his priorities are, hurting people not helping them. It makes him feel powerful.

I’m calling for the person who’s looking for lab pups. You can reach someone at 610-506-7109 or 610-944-3609. They have lab pups.

JT, according to every world news show plus Time Magazine and USA Today more than 1,000 Secret Service agents have already hit caps for salary and overtime allowances that were supposed to last for all of 2017. According to Secret Service Director Ralph Alles this is because Trump’s family is so large and they travel too much. These are the facts JT and they didn’t come from MSNBC.

Thank you PennDOT for getting both bridges completed on the way from Pottstown to Pennsburg. It was due August 2017 and the road is now open.

For Jay Miller, Clark Kent and everyone else that was OK with Obama’s unconstitu­tional DACA order allowing kids of illegal immigrants to stay in America, just remember that those people eventually will have more kids and they will be competing for scholarshi­ps and jobs with your sons and daughters, nieces and nephews and friends who have kids but I guess liberals are OK with that.

People who keep picking on Donald Trump need to give him a chance. He is way better than the one we had for the past eight years.

Thank goodness if Vladimir Putin did meddle in the 2016 U.S. election. If Hillary Clinton had been elected our military funding of ISIS would have never ended and millions of Syrian refugees would have never been able to return safely home. Has Putin saved the West?

LBJ also said he would have African Americans voting Democrat for 200 years but he didn’t quite word it that politicall­y correct.

A very special thanks to all the generous pet parents and pet lovers of Pebble Beach Lane, Julie Road, Williams Circle and Danny Road for donations of pet food and items that will be delivered by the Lancaster Pet Pantry to all the fourlegged victims of the Texas floods. Your kindness is greatly appreciate­d.

Another big storm right on the heels of Harvey called Irma and there’s no such thing as climate change according to somebody in Washington. Better think again.
