Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversation.
The other night millionaire Nancy Pelosi called the bonuses and raises crumbs that the employees from different corporations were getting. The employees at Waste Management that just got a $2,000 bonus don’t feel that they are crumbs as she stated. I guess for her being a millionaire it might be considered crumbs.
Has anyone else noticed how the cable companies especially Comcast are allowing shows and channels to be repeated for two days in a row? And they think that’s what customers should be paying for? I think they should bring back the original “MacGyver” and “Malcolm in the Middle.” They bring back everything else, bring back the good shows also.
Thank you Mr. Wolf for trying to keep our health care, Medicaid for 720,000 people in Pennsylvania so they don’t have to lose their homes when they take care of their loved ones, also helping to keep CHIP for the kids, and also pre-K that you’re helping children to make them smarter so they don’t end up in jail. Keep up the good work.
Amid reports that soda sales have declined by 55 percent in Philadelphia and increased by 38 percent in surrounding communities, “Philly moves the goal posts on soda tax,” written by Shughart and Smith and published in Philly.com on Aug. 10, 2017 is a worthwhile read. It offers a rather broad window on corrupt urban politics and policies. Mark Furlong
On Friday, Donald Trump announced that “I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un.” This is the same leader that he called “Rocket Man” and traded words about having a bigger nuclear war button. Does this man ever get anything right? He is saying these lies because South Korea is having talks about the Olympics with them and he’s afraid he will not be a part of it if they decide on peace.
Donna Knapper, regarding the photo in Thursday’s Mercury, the thoughts in your mind looking at your son are those of hundreds of parents looking at their children too. Very nice.
It seems now that Lady Di is being deceived. Please open your eyes and clear your mind. Fact
Hey anyone ever wonder why our government and our president want all the foreigners to come in and take over America so they can be tax free while they keep on taxing the American people and make us pay for college but the foreigners don’t? That’s a good question.
If I drank a beer every time I heard the word “collusion” on the news I’d never sober up.
Speak for yourself Chuck Todd. Language does matter, ask your mom. And the language Donald Trump used to describe other countries is not “naughty,” it’s revolting, disgusting and horribly racist and reflects the inferiority of the person who has no business in our White House. Frattbak
If everywhere you go there’s a problem, guess what? Sarcastic Sam
This saying was on Facebook, “Fitness is like marriage, you can’t cheat on it and expect it to work.”
When watching President Trump carrying on like he does it’s like watching reruns of Archie Bunker. Bob of Phoenixville
It’s sad times when the president of the United States is on the football field for the national anthem and people, not for the good of the country but for their own political ideological satisfaction, have to find something bad in it.
Let me stand again for a flawed fellow human being, our president. To the person stating he didn’t know the words to the national anthem I must admit I also don’t know all the words but I still stand for and respect what it stands for. Maybe you could teach us the words. I have no doubt about his agenda to regain the American way and not the one-world way. End of fact, I love and seek the truth always. Lady Di
Hopefully the owner of the beautiful black cat in the East End has not abandoned him. He’s in my backyard almost every day or night in this cold weather. If you don’t want him call a cat rescue.
In Douglass (Mont.) the road crew guys have at least three or four pickup trucks and/or stake body pickups. Why so many? There is also a pickup truck and stake body pickup that have red lights on the roofs of the trucks. Why? I thought red lights were for emergency vehicles only like police, fire trucks and ambulances, not township work trucks. I can see maybe amber or yellow lights for the road crew guys when they actually do road work. Concerned Taxpayer
Is it just coincidence that the word “engagement” can mean either planning to marry or initiating combat? Jim Fitch
