Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversati­on.

Could somebody tell me why PennDOT in their infinite wisdom tore up Main Street in Linfield three weeks ago and still has not repaved the whole street? They did a little stretch and that was it and winter is here and it’s getting too cold soon to repave. Are we going to have this until next spring?

I would just like to make a comment about the ending of the local Thanksgivi­ng Day high school football games. I think it’s a shame that the younger people won’t be able to take part in that tradition that many families go to watch games. It will surely be missed.

A P.S. to Agnostic, you say that God and the Devil are invisible. I’m sorry that is how you see life. I’ve seen God’s hand move throughout my life. I have seen miracles but I’m sure you know in the Bible it says our battles are not seen. I hope you come to see His hand and goodness too. Lady Di

Thank you very much to a member of Pottstown’s finest in assisting me after I fell. I’m a disabled man and this gentleman was a member of the K9 unit. Very big guy, dark hair, dark beard with a German Shepherd, I could tell by the bark. Thank you very much sir. You would not leave until I took inventory and everything was OK. Appreciate it and thank you. God bless you.

When Donald Trump became president of our country not only liberals and Republican­s lost, all Americans became losers. Frattbak

I thought I would tune into Fox News to get a few laughs. Their main topic was Bill and Hillary Clinton — Bill Clinton sex scandal, Hillary Clinton Uranium One scandal, and they were very serious. I couldn’t stop laughing.

For the person who compared Nixon and Clinton and said there should be an investigat­ion of Clinton with all the new evidence, sorry it’s the same old evidence recycled. However there is more new evidence on the Trump administra­tion every day. Stay tuned.

To the person blaming Donald Trump for the oil leak in the pipeline, Trump didn’t cause the leak, sloppy workers did. Trump was trying to give us oil and gas at a cheaper price to help all of us people out with our money. Blame the sloppy workers not him. If Bill Clinton had ordered a pipeline built in order to save us money for gas and oil and sloppy workers had caused the leak, would you have blamed Clinton like you are blaming Trump?

I heard there’s a good chance that the Keim Street bridge will be set to be repaired beginning in the year 2020.

The musical group that performed at halftime during the Vikings/Lions game on Thanksgivi­ng was pathetic. They call that singing? You couldn’t understand a word he said, and trying to imitate Michael Jackson’s moves, nice try. I guess the NFL was looking for the cheapest group they could find. With all the money the NFL has they could’ve done better, a lot better.

To Martha, you said Pence stopped on his way over at the ballgame and he was on official business anyway. You better recalculat­e because you missed a few things here. He was already in California. He went from California to Indianapol­is and back to California again. Stop watching Fox News, get your head out of the sand and know what you’re talking about — 3,600 miles out of his way — a fact.

I guess that’s it for the Thanksgivi­ng day football games between the two rivals and I want to say Pottstown you have nothing to be ashamed of because I graduated in 1955 and we had good teams. So the way the community is right now you have nothing to feel sorry for. Congratula­tions anyway.

I was reading the article “Officials order closing of park” because of contaminat­ion on Cross Street and I was curious who actually thought of putting a park there in the first place and why wasn’t this found out before the park was built there? Any idea?

For Martha you’re correct, Pence was on official business but then decided to make a side stop and go to see a game in order to pull a stunt for political reasons that only him and his fellow buddy Trump understand. Therefore he stole over $200,000. Fact

Congressme­n Costello has voted for a tax cut to help only the rich and has refused to answer why the needy are cut food stamps money. Bruce Madara

Lady Di, let me see if I have this right. You made a mistake voting for Barack Obama who you said is a liar. So this time you made up for it by voting for Donald Trump who’s an even bigger liar. Huh?
