Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversati­on.

I’d like to know how many of these people that want ICE to be eliminated and have open borders let their doors unlocked so anybody who wants to can walk in their house, help themselves to whatever they want, do whatever they want, and do nothing about it. Think about it.

This is to the person concerning their interpreta­tion of our Constituti­on. If you enter this country illegally you forfeit all your rights as you are a criminal. If you enter legally you have all the rights of our Constituti­on. Enter legally not illegally.

The hanging baskets in Pottstown are absolutely beautiful. Whoever takes care of them, thank you because they really make the town look nice.

Thanks Scott Pruitt for a job well done. You accomplish­ed all you were asked to do and more and worth every dollar to straighten out the EPA.

All the ladies on “The View” are total Trump-haters except Meghan McCain. Now it seems like they are brainwashi­ng her into being a Trump hater too. I think they should totally get off the air and not be on TV anymore. It’s a disgrace to the president of the United States the way they talk about him.

It appears that Georgie Anne Geyer is the one that’s stuck in the dark murky cave.

I don’t know if people are familiar with Nick’s Sandwich Shop in Stowe but they closed and I’m sorry to see that because they’re very nice. The lady who owned it was very nice and when you went in there she gave you good service and the food was good so I’ll miss the place. It was one of the nicest sandwich shops around but I guess they had enough. Sorry to see it close.

What the management of Pottstown doesn’t understand, if you have to babysit half the people in this town, well you better hire more babysitter­s.

To the person who thinks Trump is a knight in shining armor, look again. He is a racist, sexist and compulsive liar to the American people and he has made life miserable for immigrants fleeing violence in their own country and seeking a better life in the U.S. I would say his armor is badly corroded. One Who Knows

I was alive during the 1960s and remember the things that happened then and I can tell you that this country has not been as divided as it is now under Donald Trump since the 1960s. Somebody in the Bible once said. “A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.” Well it sure seems like that’s what’s happening in this country under Donald Trump’s so-called making America great again.

I agree with Paula Revere, maybe it is time to revolt. I shouldn’t have to lose my house over these darn taxes and no power should make you homeless over taxes and I shouldn’t have to pay rent on my property after I already purchased it. I can’t say that it’s time for these politician­s to go because the next ones you get are going to do the same thing. Something has to be done now.

Pottstown didn’t fork over the cash for the bike lanes. These are paid for by grant money in support of open space and outdoor recreation. Keim Street bridge repair begins in the year 2020. Be patient.

Lady Di, I can’t believe anyone could be so inhumane as to not understand that a mother whose children’s lives are threatened will do anything, try anything to have her child’s life saved, even to fleeing with them to an unknown welcome and the possibilit­y of a child being taken hostage. The corruption and disgrace do not fall to people like the mayor you discussed but to those who would deny safety to children whose lives are in mortal danger. This is intolerabl­e. Frattbak

Trump’s administra­tion is cutting the Affordable Care Act making it more expensive so when you see it going up in price you’ll know why.

Things that Trump loves: asbestos and Russia, coal and Russia, oil and Russia.

For the person who called in and said we elected Donald Trump because we’re the smartest country in the world, hopefully were smart enough to realize what a mistake we made so we won’t re-elect him in 2020.

I was on the fifth floor at the Pottstown Hospital recently. They were the greatest nurses. I’m sad to leave them though but I’m doing pretty well. My heart goes out to all of you. PS

I am wondering how House Bill 542 legalizing fireworks was ever passed. There was a total disregard for neighbors’ safety and concerns.
