The NFL doesn’t have the guts to tell the players that anyone who takes a knee won’t play in the game and will be fined $1 million. The Air Force should not do a fly over. Not one of those that take the knee ever spent a day in the military. Proud Veteran

It will surprise me if the bill that would reduce the size of the state legislatur­e will pass. Our politician­s, they will not let us vote to get rid of maybe their lifetime jobs. They don’t vote to do the best for us, only themselves.

In Douglass (Mont.) each new home built has at least two cars and also on average at least two children per home. Supervisor­s in Douglass and New Hanover if you approve all these new homes in five years there are going to be at least 1,000 new homes. Why? Residents you do the math. How many schools will have to be made bigger, more police needed, more crime, etc. But one thing that won’t change is the roads. Can’t make them bigger or make new ones. $$$. Concerned Taxpayer

If you use propane be sure to check around for the price. I had a supplier last year and I decided in the spring to check around and I went with another supplier and so far this year I have saved $151 on my propane. On the last shipment the person I was using was 50 some cents a gallon higher than the person I’m getting it from now. So check around, you can save some money.

Donald Trump deported 1,400 veterans under his DACA program. Jay Miller I would like to thank Pottstown council person Joe Kirkland for taking care of the lighting around the Ricketts Center. It was very dark. It still needs some brighter lights but I want to thank Joe Kirkland for taking care of having someone come out and check it immediatel­y. Thank you and look forward to working with you in the future. Bobby Watson

Lady Di. JT and Mark Furlong, so you have no feelings for the children of DACA. Do you know these children have been here for 17 years, some came as young as one-year-old. Their parents brought them. All were under the age of 16 to qualify. All they know is America. They work, pay taxes, go to school, just want to become citizens. Over 80 percent of Americans favor them, even Donald Trump called them love children. Are you part of the 20 percent? DP

To the person that suggested chaining Pelosi and Schumer to the border, that’s one of the best ideas I’ve heard in a long time. We could really add to that list too from Washington and Hollywood’s elite. I’ve seen stories how bad living down there can be for Americans with home invasion and violence. When they put illegals over our children you would think even the liberals would have a problem with that. Lady Di

I see where there are two 12-year-old girls being charged for bullying a 13-year-old girl that committed suicide. Just wondering if Trump will be charged also when his bullying ways cause a death. Reminds me of the old saying “Monkey see, monkey do.” Our president needs to grow up and act like an adult.

Beware of home warranty schemes. I had a situation. I called, was told it was covered. They sent a man out. He called his supervisor to check and they said it was covered. Charged $100 deductible which I paid. A couple of days later I get a call that it is not covered, never was covered. I called and asked for my $100 refunded. No, never refund $100, positively no.

Democrats are sweating out the possible vote to release the FISA memo by the House Intelligen­ce Committee. This document will reveal the FBI and Obama Justice Department shenanigan­s in setting up Donald Trump as a suspect for Russian collusion. It could get very embarrassi­ng for some Democrats as well as Comey and Mueller. Hang on to your tissues Jay you may need them. Info Depot To the person that stated JFK got elected because all the dead people in Chicago voted, that is a right wing conspiracy. No one ever had proof that even one dead person voted. Do you?

Spring is not too far away and I was wondering if we could put out a shout-out to state Sens. Rafferty and Mensch to make sure they get us enough flowers that we can plant in the pile of dirt at the Keim Street bridge because I guess that’s all that’s ever going to happen there. So come on guys put the order in for us and get the flowers.
