Take a look at what friends and neighbors have to say about local hot topics and join in on the conversati­on.

For all you Trump-haters who were hoping for a Russian collusion story looks like you’re going to get your wish but it’s the Dems and the Obama administra­tion who worked with the Russians over the Uranium One deal with bribery and payoffs. Also now we find out that the DNC are the ones that paid for the fake dossier about President Trump. So corrupt. Of course you won’t hear any of this on the fake news but stay tuned there’s more to come. Bonnie

I know Berks County is overwhelme­d with the spotted lantern flies. I was just wondering how they got here in the first place. I know they come from Asia but how did they get over here? Just Wondering

I was at the Royersford shopping center and saw a very interestin­g thing. I saw a cop in back of a white pickup truck issuing a ticket because the dog was out on the grass doing its business. That’s the first time I ever saw or heard of this being done.

Dear Linda Hallman, we saw your comment about losing your home. Keep praying and trusting the Lord. We’re trying to get you some kind of help and I know the Lord’s going to help you. God bless you honey. Mom Mom

Can somebody tell me what one’s handicap would be that they would be able to go into the beer distributo­r, get a case of beer and put it on the back of a pickup truck? What could that handicap be? Do they really need that spot?

I’d like to know why the Upper Providence board members are keeping this huge mosque that’s being built right next to the Green Tree Church Cemetery such a secret? Why hasn’t the public been informed? A Concerned Upper Providence Resident

Hey Hanover Street Posse you asked where the snow was going to go when Industrial Highway is plowed. It will probably go on the bike trail and then we’ll have a ski slope. See we can accommodat­e everybody if we try. Just making a silly comment.

I see two Republican senators are jumping ship. What does that tell you? That they saw the light of day. They don’t want any part of the Republican­s and where Donald Trump’s taking us to, down the sewer. Stick with him and that’s where you’ll be going, down the sewer or World War III. Think about it.

To Billy the Kid, thank you for your help directing me about my problem with my service dog. Yes you’re right, I have to fight for my rights for the dog and for me. That is true that they cannot refuse him in anywhere especially to go live in a place. But when I do try they still refuse him and jack the rent up so high that I still can’t get in. But I can’t give up, there’s hope for me and him. Thank you again. Linda Hallman

The collusion with the Russians to rig the election means that someone must go to jail. So if that means Donald Trump has to go to jail for rigging the election then he’s got to go to jail. Democracy at work.

Thank you Pottstown Boscov’s for a lovely nice shopping day on Oct. 17. A Happy Senior Citizen

The loose wire at Charlotte and Oak streets has been repaired thanks to your Sound Off service.

How KM figures the deaths of four soldiers is Trump’s Benghazi is delusional. Four soldiers were doing what they were there for and supposed to do at Niger. As a 19-yearold soldier in Vietnam I did what I was supposed to do. That’s what you do. You know what you signed on to. At Benghazi, Hillary deliberate­ly withheld back up for those that were killed. Hillary and Obama were guilty of treason and disrespect of their lives against those Gold Star families. Sanatoga Paul Revere

I have a few questions about capitalism versus socialism. Which society is the average person richer? Which society are your human rights protected the most and which society do they flee from and which do they flee to? You only need to look at Venezuela for your answer. Now aren’t you glad Donald Trump is president instead of Hillary Clinton? I thank God every day. Info Depot

As bad as the press might make Trump out to be, he is nowhere near as evil and corrupt as Hillary Clinton. That’s a fact.

As a child I and many others of my generation were taught to stand for the national anthem, place your right hand over your heart and shut your mouth. Also in church is the place to kneel when the occasion calls for it. Neither is the place to make political statements. A Veteran, Sanatoga Sam
