I just got my cable bill today and see that they’re taking several channels away unless you’re on a certain program. If they want to do that then they better start lowering their rates too and don’t wonder why people switch to other sources for their TV viewing. A Frustrated Comcast Cable Subscriber

This Comcast bill went sky high and they’re charging me $6.75 for a regional sports fees. I don’t watch any of the sports stations. When I asked them if they couldn’t drop them, they said they can’t take that off my bill. Why can’t they? Are all you other people paying for a sports fee when you don’t watch the stations? And what do they mean they can’t take it off the bill? Seems to me a company can take anything off the bill they want to.

This is to the person that plowed the 200 block of Oak Street. You should turn your license in. Where did you learn to plow? I worked all day Wednesday digging my car out and you came by Wednesday night and plowed everybody in. Turn the plow straight when you come up the street, not sideways.

I’m retired military. I hope the president vetoes this disastrous thing that they cooked up. Pelosi and Schumer are a menace to our country they represent. An evil concept. There is no, no sense in feeding money to Planned Parenthood. Thirty-thousand babies get killed every year. It is stupid.

Last Saturday the Daniel Boone High School had music with instrument­s and singing, and the best spaghetti and meatball with a nice salad and I got a fresh piece of strawberry crumb cake. It was delicious and the show was absolutely wonderful. Thank you again Daniel Boone High School.

If it’s gun violence we’re talking about instead of violence committed with a gun then it stands to reason that the gun should go to jail and the person committing the crime should go free. After all it’s only logical.

I’d like to have a great big shout-out to the Phoenixvil­le snow removal crew for a fantastic job they did on our roads. Thanks guys for a job well done.

This is to the person who says Tiger Woods will never win another tournament. Only one problem, he’s already made enough money in that one tournament where he finished second or third than you’ll make in five years. Think about that.

This is to the all the people who blow their nose in the surroundin­g restaurant­s after they’re done eating while I’m eating. Please excuse yourself and go blow your nose somewhere else. It’s disgusting. I’m eating and you’re blowing your nose.

Lady Di, name the last president who had 19 women accuse him of affairs, had to pay $25 million to settle three lawsuits for a fake university, being investigat­ed in collusion with the Russians, three more women accused him of affairs and are suing, children being investigat­ed and are in hiding, two top staffers indicted, fired 60 percent of his staff within 14 months of his first term, first president to refuse to show his tax returns and the lowest approval rating in modern history.

Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler. Putin, al-Assad and Trump. Remember your history or you’re doomed to relive it.

President Trump and our government, you said how China has a huge deficit that’s owed us. Meanwhile they tax our goods 25 percent and you’re only gong to tax their goods 10 percent. Mr. Trump if you were a smart, genius, brilliant businessma­n you would have done a 25 percent tax tariff just like they do to us. So maybe you should rethink your little tiny tariff. That way they will see how you mean to pay off the debt. They laugh.

It’s a shame that Ed Pawlowski is no longer mayor in Allentown. Some people felt that he was one of the best politician­s that money could buy. Ha ha.

How’s that stock market doing for all those hot shots out there who said how good it’s doing? Keep the good work up Donald.

Since Edgewood School closed there is no need for crossing guards at Keim and Beech streets and Keim and Jackson streets, maybe save us taxpayers some money. Maybe they would be more useful down by the middle and high school, lots of bullying and fighting there. Earn your money, don’t just sit in your car and collect a paycheck. Taxpayer

The other day in the midst of the worst spring snowstorm in decades our mail carrier was out making his daily deliveries. Thank you for your dedicated service. John J. Armato

Don’t knock the mailmen. They were here in that horrible horrible weather and they have to walk on foot and they came in that bad weather, but the garbage men didn’t.
