The day after they confiscate all the firearms from all the American people in this country a government official will be into The Mercury and he will tell the editor “Now you will print only what we tell you to print,” and everyone else in every other newspaper the same thing will happen, and the broadcast media. You can rest assured of it. Getting Old But Still Not Deceived In Pottstown

OK PennDOT, it’s spring time almost. Let’s get the crews out there and start cleaning up Route 422. I believe it could legally be a landfill there’s so much trash out there. You can get the prisoners out to give a hand also. Sgt. Ed

I just wanted to say thanks to Brookside Country Club for a wonderful and well planned event that was held on Sunday. There was something there for everyone. I enjoy seeing how nice the grounds look in the spring, summer and fall but now I can also include winter. Pottstown is lucky to have this country club and golf course in our community.

Congratula­tions to the Pottstown School District and the student actors for their wonderful production of “The Little Mermaid.” Director Chris Sperat and Orchestra Conductor Mike did an excellent job. The stage lighting, sound and the costumes were all excellent. Thank you for a wonderful production.

Attention people who follow the Philadelph­ia weather readers. They are among the worst in the country. If you want to get accurate weather for the Pottstown area watch Channel 69. Vince, Limerick

I’d like to know where I can find informatio­n on the students at Montgomery County Community College that I’m paying $70 a year to help fund. I’d like to know whether the courses they’re taking are contributi­ng to getting a better education, a higher education or if it helps them get a job. I don’t mind helping pay for the community college as long as it’s not for some creative arts or creative dance class that has no value later in life. The King

When Donald Trump stops his bullying and name calling then I’ll give respect. Until then, bah humbug.

According to O.J. Simpson it was Charlie who killed Nicole and Ron Goldman. I also think it was Charlie who sexually abused all those women who Donald Trump knew. Just like it was Charlie who had that sexual fling with Stormy Daniels.

Congratula­tions to Gov. Wolf for his reform proposals. There should be a freeze in salary for all legislator­s and their staffs if a budget is not passed by June 30.

Now Mark Furlong is blaming President Obama for all the school shootings yet the last three were under Donald Trump. It won’t be long President Obama will be blamed for 9/11. Seems the Republican presidents can do no wrong. However I do remember George W. Bush got us into the war with Afghanista­n, the war we are still in. Also Iraq and with the words of wisdom, “Mission accomplish­ed.” DP

I keep hearing people are seeing more money in their pocket, or crumbs as Pelosi put it. Don’t forget they didn’t vote for it either. With all the foreign leaders strengthen­ing their armies I thank God our leader is also. I don’t understand how any American can be against either. Lady Di

If Trump wants to get the cameras to show the crowd he should stand in front of a large mirror and then the crooked media would have to show the crowds. They would have no choice. Go Trump

What are they going to do about these potholes? It’s like they think about everything else except for the potholes. I almost popped my tire and if I do pop my tire believe me I will be coming down to borough hall with the bill.

President Trump must think he’s still running “The Apprentice” show. He’s firing people almost on a weekly basis. Seems to me he has a problem initially selecting a person for a position, always changing his mind.

To all those people who are concerned about downtown Pottstown, well it’s going to always be like that. It’s just turned into another Norristown and the only way you’re going to get rid of that problem is you have to get rid of the drugs. It’s that simple. You find the dealers and you simply make the dealers disappear and it’s amazing how fast Pottstown will come back.

You know every year more children under 21 die from heroin than they do from handguns or any gun. So you kids out there you decide what battle you think you need to fight.

Where does Publishers Clearing House get all the money they give away five to eight times a year? Who gives them all this money to give to other people? I’d like to know where it comes from.
