I think Punxsutawn­ey Phil should take a year off and let Gus the lottery groundhog predict the weather next year. Catbird

I don’t know any good reason why we would give away 20 percent of our uranium, also to give millions of dollars to Iran, the biggest supporter of terrorists while they chant death to America, and the depletion of our military forces, releasing violent criminals and drug dealers. That is Obama’s record to defend? Old news, new weapons. Wake up. Lady Di

Two things. Yes the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Now let’s move on in life. And Aly Raisman you had tears saying how you were humiliated embarrasse­d, etc. but yet you posed in that magazine cover like that and you don’t call that humiliatin­g and embarrassi­ng? I think threefourt­hs of those people lied. They just wanted attention, fame and their names on TV because they cannot win medals anymore. Let’s move on in life people.

Ban automobile­s, they kill.

This is to the Boyertown taxpayer. Another reason why the school district doesn’t have any money, they start projects and they can’t finish it. The road to nowhere from Madison to Montgomery streets is just one nasty big money pit. They paid the houses across the street already to prepare for taking their property but they haven’t finished anything. They just left it in one big mess. We hired a contractor and they never came back to finish the job. So that’s Boyertown for you.

Donnie Trump keeps looking over his shoulder because there’s somebody back there. It’s Robert Mueller and he’s getting closer.

I have a suggestion. I saw in The Mercury they’re talking about building a pedestrian bridge at $1 million. I could see where they could save $1,086,000. They can get rid of the bridge and Rep. Maloney at the same time.

I would just like to know why my borough and county taxes for 2018 increased from last year by $118? This is a disgrace for people who are retired and on a fixed income. Disgusted

Pottstown is the only town that I know where you can leave a brand-new pair of work boots and tools out and they won’t be stolen.

Hey Jay Miller, why don’t you get your news from some other source instead of all these liberal think tanks that you subscribe to like Huffington Post, Washington Post, the New York Times? Dr. Ben Carson did not accept that money to get things done for his office. But you put it in the paper so how do you feel now? I guess like most all of you Democrats do when you always say something that isn’t true. JT

It is quite apparent that Hillary Clinton still doesn’t realize that most of the votes she got were people who didn’t trust Trump. Had someone else besides Hillary been running on the Democratic ticket they would have been elected. Hillary is so vain and Donald is just so, one word, stupid. Starlight

To the person who says Hillary got $500,000 from the Koch Brothers. I just did a search and I didn’t see anything at all that she got anything at all. You better go check your facts again buddy.

I would be interested to know how many of the people who died with the flu actually got the flu shot. They don’t specify how many of those people had the shot and how many didn’t.

I was on my way out on Saturday night for a night of fun at Imperial Catering to see the Frankie Valli tribute. My car got disabled in the parking lot. Three gentlemen offered to help. It didn’t work. Bob, owner of Imperial Catering, offered to take care of it. He told us to go in and enjoy ourselves and he would take care of my car. He did and I’m really grateful for his help. Thanks Bob. Had a good time and I’ll be back. A Happy Camper

Loved Tom Hylton’s commentary in Tuesday’s Mercury on the YMCA and kudos to Don Smale for finally addressing those people from Philadelph­ia who are running the Y in our area. Our own board sold out to them several years ago and now we are paying the price. Hope something can be done.

E.J. Dionne’s one-sided views are taking a toll on me.

This craziness about the tariffs, there should not be any war about that because we’ve had tariffs on countries for years and there’s been no war on it. Someone, and I know what side it is, just wants a war because they don’t like Trump.

I hear a lot about the West Wing in the White House. Is there also a left wing and a right wing there? Only seems fair.
