The federal government changes Medicare cards not to use Social Security numbers any more but my TV provider and bank both ask my Social Security number to ID me. How come? Bruce Madara

Democratic Philadelph­ia Mayor Kenny makes a fool out of himself in his sanctuary city dancing video. A recent audit showed $924 million in accounting errors in 2017 alone and $33 million missing from his city’s bank account. He should spend more time in the finance department and less time busting moves. For The People

So Boyertown needs a new stadium. Why not do like the big cities do? Get a sponsor. How about BB&T Stadium or Tower Health Stadium? Look to someone else to put their name on it and save the taxpayers some money.

Ronald Reagan said about Russia “trust but verify.” Donald Trump on North Korea was asked about getting rid of the nukes, should he verify? He said, “I don’t have to verify because I have one of the great memories.” Now what does that mean? The last five presidents before Trump all were asked to sit down with a dictator of North Korea. However they all wanted agreements in writing before they would meet. Never happened.

Lady Di, I do keep praying. I keep praying you’ll see the light. The reason we have so much hatred in America is because we have a president who keeps spreading it.

The corrupt and evil will soon be swept from the world. The Blue Star is in the sky.

In Singapore Trump displayed the deal-making wizardry that drove him to bankruptcy six times.

To the person who wants to start a rumor about a border wall that Canadians want to build, only a stupid uneducated moron would believe that. Your propaganda isn’t going to go very far.

I see Meek Mill is still trying to get his drug and weapons charges from 2008 thrown out. What’s the matter with that guy? He should be satisfied that he was released. If I was the judge he’d still be locked up. He violated his parole. He’s no better than anyone else. He’s no rapper, he’s a big crybaby.

Does anyone agree with me that television puts you to bed? You start watching a program and after five minutes on comes 17 ads. Then you tune back in again and after five minutes on come the ads again. It gets worse as the night goes on so you have to go to bed hoping your Comcast bill will be there in the morning or in the afternoon in your mailbox to make you feel better and make you know it’s not all in your mind.

I see where the Supreme Court has really hit the Democratic Party hard with their ruling that the state of Ohio can take about 100,000 people off the voting rolls. This is because a lot of those people are dead or they don’t even live in Ohio anymore. Big blow Democrats since most of the people involved were registered Democrat and you say that there’s no such thing as voter fraud. Way to go Democratic Party. JT

Sean Hannity said what Donald Trump was doing was a good thing to do. A few years back Sean Hannity criticized Obama for talking about doing the same thing. What a hypocrite. Jay Miller

Every Friday is Red Friday. People should wear red to support the troops and veterans.

The Keim Street bridge is set for repair in the year 2020.

I’m in Pottstown Hospital for a total knee replacemen­t. Dr. Pavlides did a wonderful job. I’ve always heard negative things about the hospital but I have nothing but great, great reviews about Pottstown Hospital. Everybody was nice, nurses, everybody. It was truly a pleasure to be here with everybody around taking care of you. So I just think the Pottstown Hospital needs a shout-out. Thank you once again. David H.

I just thought of one positive aspect concerning all the bike lanes in town. If Limerick nuke plant blows, our families will have an alternativ­e if not the only way of escaping the mayhem. LR

Pottstown are you kidding me about bike lanes? There’s people in Pottstown that are homeless. They can’t eat, have no place to sleep, they can’t clothe their children, they don’t have shoes and you’re worrying about bike lanes in Pottstown. The parking in Pottstown is backwards on High Street and you’re putting bike lanes in. Who in the world thought of this?

I see Boyertown’s school taxes are going up 5.4 percent. I wish people like Ruth Dierolf could clone herself so we could vote against some of these high taxes.

How come this totally unverifiab­le nuclear deal with North Korea is good while the totally verifiable deal with Iran is terrible? Oh right, Obama. A Concerned Senior Citizen
