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

I’m in Bright Hope and after it snowed we got some rain and our walks were nothing but ice. Most of us cannot walk on ice. Even the little kids were staying in. The maintenanc­e men did not even remove the snow from our walks.

This is a question for the out-of-touch Democrats Pelosi and Schumer. Please explain why you don’t ever want to help the elderly and American veterans in this country who can’t afford their medication, mortgages and groceries due to your tax-andspend methods but you want to take care of all the illegal immigrants you so desperatel­y want in this country to give them our hard-earned money for free?

I am a confused citizen. I would like to know what the retired people are going to receive from this tax cut? I wish all the people that are getting it the best of luck with it but I would like to know what we are going to receive. A Concerned Citizen

To appreciate the pathologic­al nature of the “resistance” movement is to understand its mentor, Barack Obama, who routinely incited conflict: “Punish your enemies.” “Vote for revenge.” “Argue with neighbors, get in their face.” “If they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun.” Hate clearly found a home in the Obama White House.

To all Eagle haters, I’m sure this Super Bowl win is killing you. So keep your sarcastic comments to yourself. You’re not going to burst our bubble. Go crawl back under your rock and try again next season but be warned Wentz and the other injured players are coming back and we’re going to be even better. So whether you like it or not learn to love it because we’re going to be around for a long, long time. Woohoo

Thank you so much for congratula­ting the Eagles for winning the Super Bowl. That was so nice of you to do that but you mentioned now that we’re only four behind the Cowboys. Cowboys who? What Cowboys? More Than Enough

To Proud American, I am totally with you but it’s obvious they don’t care. I guess they figure the votes they lose from us Americans they will gain from the illegal immigrants. They are quite clear to whom they care about. Lady Di

For Jay Miller I’m not a mathematic­ian but one thing I can figure out is 2.4 million jobs were added and there are over 300 million people so it takes more than 2.4 million to move the percentage from 4.1 percent to 4 percent.

Nothing should surprise you anymore. Now Trump wants a military parade with tanks, trucks and missiles. They probably won’t let him have it because of the millions of dollars it would cost. It could be done much cheaper if they would buy him a couple of toy tanks to play with on his desk. He could even invite Kim Jong-un over for a play date.

I saw a bumper sticker on a car on Tuesday, “Make America great again, impeach Trump.” With the super job he’s been doing as president who would want to display a sticker like that?

This is to Mom’s Mobley. I’ll make it short and sweet here. You haven’t read the memo. Jay Miller

I just want to say congratula­tions to Philadelph­ia for setting up a great Eagles championsh­ip parade closing off most stores, closing off streets, free transit, everything to make it a safe and happy parade. I was wondering if the state closed the Wine and Spirits stores or did they leave them open just figuring another big day of sales? If anyone knows, please call in, but again congratula­tions Philadelph­ia, a great job.

I see in Thursday’s Sound off somebody questions about the Democrats not getting anything done. You must remember they had the Senate and the House when Obama was in there. It is not a racial thing, it’s a Democrat thing that they keep on blaming everybody else. It’s their false advertisin­g that they send out to all the Republican­s telling us how great they are.

Now Trump wants a military parade. A parade is a celebratio­n. Why would you have a parade while engaged in two wars? A Veteran

Donald Trump seems to think that Muslims are a threat to our national security. He has people sitting in classified meetings unable to get a security clearance. Donald Trump is the biggest threat to our country and the people that surround him should not be allowed to qualify for the positions they hold.

Hey JT, Jay Miller was right. Where are you now? Where’s your apology to the Eagles for calling them chokers again? I guess that crystal ball you looked into earlier in the season doesn’t work anymore. You might want to get a new one for next time.
