The people of Puerto Rico also wanted a couple months back as I clearly remember to be free of the U.S. after Trump was elected president and slandered him profusely. Now they gripe worse than the liberals because with quite a few other states nailed with weather problems he didn’t move quick enough. Just shows how well they would fair without the U.S. doesn’t it? Don’t bite the hand that feeds you and millions of others.

The Drexel professor put on leave after the Las Vegas tweets is just a fine example of some of the intellectu­al idiots who populate academia and they are teaching your children, no they’re indoctrina­ting your children.

To all the those who kneel and protest as our flag and Star Spangled Banner are being presented, that’s like a slap in the face to all the brave men and women of America who gave their life so that we could live as we do in this country. Don’t forget a lot of black men and women also gave their lives for the U.S. So this is not a race issue. It takes everyone to work together regardless of color. OSR

Wow, it looks like somebody hit a nerve. At least Trump is doing something for the people, Obama did nothing.

This is about dropping eyeglasses off. They can be dropped off at the Vision Center in Walmart. They take eyeglasses there all the time.

I want the state government to stop about all the money they don’t have for this or that. Rendell told us if gambling went in there would be plenty of money and there was, $30 billion. You just don’t want to stop property tax. Why don’t you help the people for a change? We really need it especially the seniors. So stop thinking we’re stupid. Just get rid of property tax. You’ve got the money, stop with all the perks.

I don’t understand it, if you’re in charge of finances how do you let it get to $2.4 million over budget? Don’t get that at all. Interestin­g.

I’m sorry but if any American people lie to the government we go to jail yet look how many people in the government lie to the American people and that is seen as OK to do. I think the government needs to put laws against the government and not just against the American people. How about it government? There’s something to think about.

The American flag and our national anthem is a tribute to our country and to the men and women of all races that died to build our country and to protect it and the Union army that fought to keep our country from being divided and to end slavery. Those that will not stand up for our country, there’s a saying, “Love it or leave it.” If I was not happy where I am I would leave.

Anybody out there who wants a really good cheesestea­k go to Brunish’s on Lincoln Avenue. The best ones ever and so fat you can make two out of one. Rich

Mea culpa. I said billion when I meant to say 57 million babies killed by abortion since 1973. I misspoke, my bad. You know we vilify the Nazis and they only killed 14 million. Think about that. Tea Party

To the person who found my wallet at Redner’s and turned it in I am so very grateful to you. I was of course frantic as you can imagine. I’d love to give you a little something if you would call me at 484-467-4640. Leave your name and phone number and of course a descriptio­n of the wallet. God bless you.

In Pottstown at the intersecti­on of Charlotte and Oak streets, there’s an electric wire hanging down. It’s about 10 feet of wire laying on the sidewalk, some of it is over into the street. I’ve noticed that it’s been there since August. I don’t know if it’s dangerous or maybe somebody’s going to fall and break their head. Somebody should look into it.

Just wanted to warn readers of a scam. People claim they’re from the National Institute of Health and Human Services and want to give you a couple thousand dollars. They in turn want you to call a phone number but instead of calling that number please call the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-382-4357 and report this company so they can get these scammers out of our lives. Don’t be taken in by these scammers.

Well here we go again. California becomes a sanctuary state and now what happens with these fires? Now they want federal aid. I say cut them off. If they don’t want to follow federal law immigratio­n then they don’t need to look for federal money from us.
