I hear these politicians are talking about giving 16-year-olds the right to vote. If they give them the right to vote at 16, and if they commit a crime are they going to be charged as an adult at 16 or are they going to be slapped on the wrist until they’re 21 and then let them back out in society? If they’re old enough to vote at 16 they’re old enough to pay for the crimes they commit.

I just got done talking to my most stubborn of my Democratic friends and she surprised me. She actually sees now what the news people are and she is seeing exactly what the Democrats are. I was surprised what she said and she is going over to the Republican side. She said she can’t wait to tear that Democrat card up. I’m happy. She’s my favorite friend now.

Here is a list of the people in Harrisburg who have let us down again this year with school property taxes: Rep. Marcy Toepel 717-787-9501 or 610323-3299, Rep Tom Quigley 610-792-1280, Rep John Rafferty 610-469-8390 or 610-831-8830, Sen. Mensch 215-541-2388 and Rep. Tim Hennessey who has never been any help to us 610326-2626 or 610-286-9194. Call them and tell them they’ll be history in November as far as being reelected.

The elderly will be cared for by robots to solve the staff shortages in elder care homes. Robots which can listen, learn and react to people are being introduced in Japan to elder care facilities to look after residents to prevent loneliness. See the Daily Mail.

We all know why the DOJ is stonewalling. They are trying to cover up their actions. It’s a house of cards about to collapse. If Trump wouldn’t have won, all the corruption would have been covered up and where is the outrage for Peter Fonda’s comments? The anger and hatred from the left is alarming. Keep praying America.

To the person commenting about Jay Miller not thinking straight concerning illegal immigrants being welcome here, you have to understand one thing. It’s not about illegal immigrants being welcome here with Jay Miller. It’s all about hatred for the president. President Trump could cure cancer and Jay Miller would have a problem with it.

I was just listening to some of the business reports and they say if this trade war goes on it could lead to a global recession. That’s all we need. Way to go Donald. You’re a good man. Keep the work up till we’re all broke.

This is for Mr. Hylton. I really enjoy your commentaries. However I know The Hill School is the biggest non-payer of taxes and I was wondering who was next if it was all the churches and if so who is the biggest church non-payer?

I was listening to Channel 6 on Monday at 5:30. They said the last time the Yankees were in Philadelphia was 2006. The Phillies if you remember went to the World Series in 2009 against the Yankees so that date is wrong.

Harley Davidson in Kansas City is moving production to Thailand. I’ll bet the workers in Kansas City trusted Trump to keep their jobs. Very, very poor choice.

There are over 2,000 children still separated from their parents and many of the parents have been deported. How sad. Trump just cannot do the right thing. Now we must find foster parents to hold the children. Trump is paying $800 a day for each child in custody. If he would have done the right thing like President Obama did he would not be in trouble.

I would like to know why Parks and Rec can’t keep the Memorial Island open at Memorial Park. I went there the other day to view the memorials and there was so much trash and so many people and tents right in front of the Vietnam Memorial I couldn’t even walk around it. That island is a sacred ground. It should be kept open for people to use and see and beautify, not for sports.

I’m always in a hurry in the morning so I either go to McDonald’s or Dunkin’ Donuts to get coffee real quick and get back on the road. McDonald’s in Boyertown is closed right now because of remodeling the whole store. I’m sure it’s going to look great when it’s done. But I totally forgot that Taco Bell is right there. They serve breakfast and they have a drive-thru in the morning with coffee, hash browns and everything McDonald’s has. I never knew that.

Democrats, don’t you realize the more immigrants you let into this country the less that you and your own family will have? These people still don’t learn about birth control. Keep them out of here.
