After 53 years in the auto repair business, I realize that a mechanic is a high school diploma fixing what a college degree designed poorly. Jim Fitch
I have to attend several different medical facilities that everyone there has to show identification, sometimes three or four types of ID. Yet the left wing Democrats won’t allow voter ID because then they can’t cheat by allowing illegals and so-called refugees to vote, have people voting multiple times, having dead people vote and felons voting.
About Chris Freind’s Friday commentary, the whole Trump family and administration has been under a vicious attack since before he won. And to bring up old news, what is the Billy Bush interview? I haven’t seen or heard one good thing about Melania while the media continues to fall all over the Obamas but I guess from what we are seeing truth and fairness are asking too much. Lady Di
I’m responding to Sanatoga Sam who is questioning the NRA about the Second Amendment and he’s saying all humans make mistakes. I think he’s making a mistake too. The Second Amendment was written by human beings protecting us from a totalitarian government. So maybe he should rethink his mistakes as well.
I can’t believe you people saying to leave Bill Cosby alone. What if your daughter got raped by that guy? He should be in jail. All these women coming out didn’t make this stuff up. How anybody can say to leave him alone so he can get away with committing these crimes is unbelievable to me. What kind of people call into Sound Off? Some of you need to go back to school.

The crossing guards used to be managed by the police department but several years ago they were taken over by a professional crossing guard company. I’m not saying go back to the police department because the crossing guard company is doing a good job. All the crossing guards I’ve seen look and act quite professional. I’m saying perhaps you could contact a representative of the company to find out why they’re putting those cones across Franklin Street. Just Being Helpful
Donald Trump for now refuses to sit down for an interview with Robert Mueller. What is he afraid of? After all, he is the deal maker. If his personal lawyer, Cohen, turns on him and it’s very possible because Cohen is known to keep tapes of all conversations and the FBI now has them. Also Cohen is being investigated by the state of New York which means if convicted there can be no pardon. Donald, the horse is out of the barn. Clark S. Kent
The stuff I hear at Fox News that degrades Robert Mueller, a decorated war veteran, Republican for 30 years, is disgraceful. Any veteran out there who hears this, it has nothing do with Democrat or Republican, it has to do with a veteran. It’s a shame. They should be disgraced off the air. Hannity, you’re sick.
I have noticed that my town, Pottstown, has so many different signs up like share the road, speed limit, walkway. The only sign they don’t have up is “Pick up your trash and litter.”
Regarding Friday’s commentary in The Mercury by Chris Friend, if he thinks Kimmel is so great he didn’t see the show the other night that showed all the underhanded and disgraceful things that Kimmel did over the years. He should actually be brought up on sexual harassment charges, not anything else but that.
If the school districts really want to save the taxpayers from any additional financial burdens being dumped on them why can’t the districts take a very careful look at every section of the budget? I bet you could find enough things that could be cut to keep the budget in line maybe even eliminating programs that haven’t brought about any positive results. Ignore the many pleas like this one from people and you will probably send us taxpayers into financial ruin.
This is to the caller who said that Tiger Woods didn’t make the cut at the Masters, well you’re entirely wrong because he finished at plus-one and tied for 32nd. He’s going to play the U.S. Open next year but he is the only player next to Nicklaus and Palmer with 79 wins. There’s nobody else ever going to equal that so lay off of Tiger Woods. He’s paid his price.
Why don’t the police sit at the Linfield firehouse parking lot? Cars fly by down that street on their way to Wawa at a high rate of speed. You can make a lot of money policeman for them going over the speed limit.
