Congressmen Costello has adopted liberal positions on the military, health care, climate change, gun control and now immigration. While it could be argued that his tilt to the left is merely a reflection of political reality in Philadelphia’s suburbs, the case could also be made that Costello has facilitated the red-to-blue transition.

For the person who said without Christ there is no holiday, you are correct except that was not the statement or the question concerning Trump and his tax bill by Christmas. The problem is we are not all Christians however we are all American citizens and it seems Trump the president of all American citizens does not include us in this statement. The question was what if Trump said “before Hanukkah” instead of “before Christmas,” would that bother you?

On Veterans Day Donald Trump sided with Russia and Putin and not the American veterans. Deplorable.

Imagine the outrage if President Obama had denounced the U.S. intelligence agencies as political hacks as Trump did and embraced Putin saying he believed him when he denied meddling in the election. Trump is not trying to convince himself. He already knows Putin is lying. He’s trying to convince us. Everything he says is a lie.

I agree with the person in Sound Off who commented about the trailer parked on Prospect Street. I live on North Warren and almost got hit twice turning from North Warren onto Prospect Street due to your sight being blocked by the trailer.

To Beverly, since you’ve given up watching “The View” perhaps you’d prefer watching the Trump talk shows. If you really listen to him you might end up doing some Trump bashing yourself.

I would like to thank all of the local businesses for their show of support for our veterans. I would especially like to thank Brookside Family Restaurant and Texas Roadhouse for their free meals. I noticed people were very friendly to veterans. I had men and women walk up to me and shake my hand and say thank you for your service. It was a remarkable day. Thanks to all.

I’m calling about the comment “Has the Lord gotten your attention yet?” It’s true how angry and upset He is about how corrupt and evil His perfect world that He once created has now gotten. He’s ready to do something. Just as He parted the Red Sea for Moses and good people to go through, once they were through He let the water flood the evil people. He’s trying to get our attention and we need the Lord in our lives please.

My comment goes out to those of you who devote your precious time listening to a so-called source of information that purposely goes out of its way to contradict the facts. Fox News has made it a practice of being on the wrong side of every major issue that occurs. Something is seriously wrong with that and there is no wonder why this country is immersed in constant turmoil.

I would like to thank the kind men and women who assisted me after my accident Sunday evening off of Hoffmansville Road. They were there before the police and EMTs came to assist me and then four of my family members came also. So thank God I was not injured in any way but my car had to be towed away. So I am thanking them from the bottom of my heart for their kindness and compassion and for all they did for me. May the Lord bless them all abundantly.

Face-to-face with three of the most vicious leaders in the world today, Donald Trump opted to look the other way. Putin, Xi Jinping and Rodrigo Duterte were praised as great and strong leaders by Trump. He didn’t have any trouble mocking the mayor of San Juan or the reporter with a physical disability. Trump comes up a little short in the courage department. Welcome to reality.

Jay Miller, KM, Hawaiian Punch Party and North Coventry Yankee, did you hear that it looks like Jeff Sessions is going to give the word to the Feds, the FBI, to open up an investigation about the Russian Uranium One deal that was handled by Hillary Clinton? How the worm turns now. And that prosecutor Mueller who’s going after President Trump was involved in this somehow; he knew about it. Let’s see what happens now. What do you guys say about that?

I just read that someone wants to give acne cream to prison inmates and hope that it will keep them from breaking out. Go figure.
