Here we go again Hillary Clinton is on another apology tour blaming everybody else for her loss except herself. I don’t know why that woman can’t get over it. And then did you see her on Stephen Colbert? You put those two together and if that’s not dumb and dumber I don’t know what is. OK Hillary, you’re done, you’re finished, move on, goodbye.

I heardHillary wrote a book of why she lost the election. That is simple, the people didn’t want her.

I have a question to everyone, who out there wouldn’t take a $10,000 raise over three years? No one I know except school teachers. That’s what the Methacton school teachers turned down. They have the best taxpayer paid health care in the United States. This is how greedy the teachers have become. As long as the taxpayers are footing their bills they know they will get what they want. But wait, it’s for the kids. When will this end?

I know this won’t sound good but why do we need pre-K for free babysitting service? These kids are not taught anything at home anymore. They’re expected to be taught by teachers all the time and the teachers go along with it because that way they can hire more teachers. The state doesn’t have the millions of dollars now because they don’t even have a budget.

Calling in reference to “No turn on red” signs. Do we really stop and not turn? Some people don’t seem to know what no turn means especially at the new signs at Adams and Jackson Street. People have been turning on red despite the signs that are posted. I’m sure the same is done in other areas. Also kudos for the stoplight down at High and Adams streets with the turning arrow. Great safety measure corrected.

Driving through Manderach Park I noticed they’re going to build many new homes and a load of brand-new town homes. I’d like to know how many kids that’s going to add to the school district whether it’s Perk Valley or Spring-Ford. See this is what the problem is. The school districts are already broke and the developers are bringing more and more children into the system. When are we ever going to learn?

I see where some people and groups are pushing for money to fund pre-K. Hello, the state of Pennsylvania is almost broke and what happened to the parents of children teaching them and helping them get ready for school? That’s how we did things in the past and that worked out quite well. That’s part of the responsibility of having children.

Some members of Congress want to repeal and replace Obamacare with block grants to the states. Imagine the Pennsylvania Legislature being in charge of our health care. These are the same people who passed the budget without knowing how to fund it, can’t equitably fund our schools and caused our bond rating to be lowered twice taking money from us to pay back their loans. Put state House Republicans in charge of health care? A catastrophe waiting to happen.

A mural for Pottstown. How ridiculous. This town is trashy enough without all the mess on High Street and around. Get a life council.

I am a concerned person in Pottstown. The other day I was riding along just thinking and I pulled over and there was a song on the radio called “It’s a wonderful world” and I thought to myself about the hurricanes, the tragedies, children being killed, Mexico earthquake, Texas and all that’s been happening. I think not all of us believe in God or Jesus or whatever you want to say but I think the man upstairs is trying to tell us something.

Help me out people, I need to understand. Some of the most commonsense successful people I know are baby boomers. None went to pre-K, most not to kindergarten. I understand the need for early education like kindergarten, but pre-K and more money? Where does the parent’s responsibility stop and the education system start? Be wary of the education union trying to create jobs and establishing a taxpayer daycare.

If we don’t build the wall, the whole country is going to turn into Detroit.

I don’t know about you but I think Donald Trump and his crooks are using the American taxpayer to fund the lavish lifestyle. In nine months Donald Trump and Tom Pence alone have racked up more money than Barack Obama did in eight years in travel expenses alone. Taxpayers pay $500 or more a night for he and his crew to stay at Mar-aLago.

West Pottsgrove Fire Company, don’t you think it’s about time you took down your carnival signs?
