To One Who listens, you might actually check out our Constituti­on for citizens who have rights then look into a hearing aid. No one is legally allowed entry into the USA without proper paperwork. Try going into Canada or Mexico without your passport. Citizens have constituti­onal rights, illegal entrants have no rights and therefore do not qualify for due process. Trump was talking about illegal entrants who used their children as pawns. Dr. Jimbo

It’s not the U.S. president or anyone else in this country that’s causing all this trouble about the illegals. The parents know that border is closed but are using their children as excuses to get in. They should all get put on a boat and shipped back to their country. I’m tired of my tax money being spent on them.

I want to make a comment about this whole issue of illegal immigrants. One Who Listens says that he wants to have the immigrants have due process. I thought that’s only for citizens who actually live here and pay taxes. How is it that illegal immigrants get all the benefits of a country where they are not a citizen? Maybe they ought to actually become a citizen, pay taxes and maybe they will get the due process they deserve.

The new Aldi in Pottstown is absolutely beautiful. It’s so big and spacious and everything is just fixed up so nice. It’s really, really a beautiful store and I’m an Aldi’s fan. Thank you again.

I hope these Democrats are satisfied with all the dirt they are stirring up all the time and stirring the pot all the time. This country is going to really have problems if they continue to carry on like they are. We have a president that was elected, now let him run the country the way we’re supposed to.

Does anybody know what happened to Jayson Werth who used to play for the Washington Nationals?

This is to the person who says why do the men at the Pottstown Volleyball Rumble get $7,000 and women only get $3,000. That’s a good question. Why do women only make 71 cents to every dollar that men make? Maybe women will wake up this November and come out in droves and vote that they get equal rights. Hopefully they will. Long overdue.

I see where North Korea has begun expanding one of its nuclear facilities despite the so-called commitment at the summit with Trump. Looks like our glorious president has been hoodwinked again. So much for going into a meeting unprepared. One Who Listens

Comcast stinks. I have Comcast and all my neighbors do and half the channels aren’t on now. You call the 800 number to tell them and all you get is a busy signal and yet they’re trying to buy Fox. I’ll tell you, they shouldn’t have anything. Take away their rights to do anything.

Can anyone tell me if The Hill School is still cutting the grass at Edgewood Cemetery? It’s getting pretty high.

I am calling about a missing bulldog that’s 10-years-old. The owners are heartbroke­n. If anyone knows the whereabout­s of this bulldog please, please make sure that it gets returned. The people have been looking high and low for this dog. She’s a family pet and they want her back badly. There’s a $1,500 reward for bringing her back with no questions asked. The number is 610823-4370. An Animal Lover

They showed a 3-yearold at an immigratio­n hearing by himself climbing on the table as the judge watched on. The hearing was to send him back to Mexico without any representa­tion. That isn’t what our Constituti­on declares. Thank you Donald Trump.

I watched some of the FBI hearing and it never amazes me when the Republican­s hammer others for doing the same thing they did. They beat up the assistant FBI director telling him that the special counsel must bring the Russian investigat­ion to a close and it was going on for too long, actually one year. These are the same Republican­s who spent two-and-a-half years on Hillary Clinton and the Benghazi hearings with no results. Shame on them.

Kids today don’t realize how easy they have it. When I was young I had to walk through nine feet of shag carpet just to change the channel on the TV.
