The article in The Mercury talking about mental health testing should be for all politician­s and the Democrats better watch what they wish for. Hillary says “I can’t remember, I don’t remember.” Elizabeth Warren says “I’m mean and nasty.” Pelosi can’t talk unless you tie her hands, and talk about others would be Maxine Waters and Dianne Feinstein. It seems like Schumer can’t make any kind of a comment unless he reads what somebody else wrote for him.

This is in regards to Comcast raising their rates. I used to have Comcast and I got rid of them. Get Clear TV. I love it. You don’t get the same channels all the time. It’s always different channels when you turn to it and I don’t have a cable bill. I love Clear TV.

To the person sounding off about the new halfgallon Turkey Hill drinks with no handles, I’m with you. I called customer service and they said the new plastic has a longer shelf life. I told them I have arthritis in my hands and it’s hard to lift them. They said they had other complaints about the no handles. I also told him I’m thinking about switching brands and they said they would mail me coupons and they did. The customer service number is 1-800-576-4377.

A response to the 79-year-old talking about our president and nuclear war, what do you know about the Cold War? At that time I flew in the wild blue in a fully loaded B52 with a target assigned. Talk about close. Sanatoga Sam

My husband and I were having dinner at O’Grady’s Wednesday night and when we went to pay our bill someone very kindly paid it already for us. My husband was a Marine in World War II and fought in Okinawa. We just want to thank the person or persons who were so kind to do that for us. We appreciate it and when the time comes I hope we can forward this on and help someone else who is in need of a paid dinner. Old Timer Marine

It’s sad that so many are blinded by their anger. To not come to grips with something that occurred over a year ago is not healthy. I didn’t appreciate when Bush was in office but thank God it didn’t destroy eight years of my life. The fact that people can’t get past the election and come together for our nation’s sake is truly pitiful. What are our young people learning? Chaos. But then again they are busy sexting while becoming addicted to their cell phones. Wake Up America In the interest of normalizin­g poverty and dependence, the Obama administra­tion encouraged Welfare-check parties. In the interest of cultivatin­g self-worth and independen­ce, the Trump administra­tion will be expanding waivers to states allowing for “workfare” programs with successful track records like those in Maine and Kansas.

This is for “The Bachelor” hater. I love “The Bachelor” and I don’t mind spending two to three hours watching it looking at hot guys and hot women. You guys just sit around and watch football all day long and that’s OK. Enjoy yourself.

This is to the guy complainin­g to Bob from Birchrunvi­lle about chaos and haven’t had this much chaos in 79 years of living compared to Donald Trump’s chaos. You also said something about, besides that, they’re even talking about nuclear war and we’re closer now than we’ve ever been, so chaos, you’re right. Have you ever heard of the Bay of Pigs?

Be sure to see the video of the teacher being extracted from the school board meeting because she spoke up about the superinten­dent getting a raise when the teachers and support staff didn’t. She was actually extracted and arrested after the meeting. These school board members usually are always ready to kiss the rear ends of the administra­tors but throw the teachers and everybody else under the bus. It just seems to be everywhere. What’s going on?

OK Mr. President, if there’s no conspiracy, no collusion, then why don’t we just tell Mr. Mueller to let’s have the meeting and get it over with? Clear your name. But I think there’s a conspiracy. I think you’re hiding something. We’ll see if you testify. Jay Miller

On Jan. 17 the president of the United States will hand out fake news awards according to himself. Can you imagine if President Obama acted out like this? Now Trump is calling himself a very stable genius. The genius said months ago he’d be happy if the special counsel wanted to interview him about the Russians. Now he’s changing his tune saying it’s unlikely he will meet with Mueller. Do you think he might be guilty?
