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

After all this time the Department of Justice was finally forced to release over 400 pages of FISA applicatio­ns. I guess Democrats will be apologizin­g to Devin Nunes for being 100 percent right on the money from the start. The documents confirm the DOJ and the FBI misled the courts in their efforts to get Trump during the corrupt Obama administra­tion. Keep America Free

Jay Miller, since you think you know it all and you run the president down all the time maybe you should run for president and maybe you could fix things all up to your liking. I don’t know why people run the president down. He was elected, give the guy a chance. Everything he does you fight it and the Democrats are the same way. They don’t like that they lost so they don’t agree with the president at all.

It’s about time we are finally getting to the real collusion. Rosenstein should’ve been gone a long time ago. He’s been in the middle of this whole bag of bull. Let’s see how honest and upstanding Mueller really is when he has to start charging his cronies. To be continued. Lady Di

Right now our enemy is China and the mainstream media, not Russia. CA

The people in Pottstown can forget any type of tax relief. Your money is going to farmers in the Midwest to bail them out because of the Trump tariffs. Get used to the potholes and poverty. North Coventry Yankee

So if you use government money to pay for health care or higher education it’s socialism but if you use it as a politicall­y motivated bail out to farmers to cover for a disastrous trade policy it’s emergency aid. A Concerned Senior Citizen

To Mark Furlong, you holler about the Ponzi scheme between Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. What did your generation produce? All it did was make bums and extra welfare. JB, Gilbertsvi­lle

This message goes out to Frattbak in regards to President Trump’s many mess ups. Quite frankly I haven’t seen any yet. The man has done exactly what I voted for him to do and I’m very happy with what he has done.

We’re hearing all this complainin­g about President Trump and how he handled Russia after we heard all the complainin­g about how he handled Korea. Korea was threatenin­g to nuke us and EMP us. Russia has the potential with it’s weapons of killing every man, woman and child in America. Which do you people who are so against President Trump want? To have peace, to talk to somebody instead of having a nuclear war or what? We’d like to hear it from you.

Isn’t it strange that Trump supporters always complain about the Hollywood elite? Wouldn’t that include Donald Trump? After all he does have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Well at least he did.

What would the Republican­s do and say if this was Obama? The same as what they did with Clinton who was a Democrat, nothing. He was impeached on charges of rape, sexual misconduct in the Oval Office all the way back to before he was even governor. Come on people wake up. Your anger, your hatred is beyond the pale.

I see where the state has given Boyertown School District $255,000 so that young parents don’t have to take the money out of their budget and send their kids to a day care center. There’s absolutely no carved-in-stone proof that pre-kindergart­en guarantees that the kid when he grows up will get into college. How about the Boyertown School District asking for $255,000 so that the grandparen­ts of these kids don’t lose their houses?

To the person asking what the Republican­s would have said and done if Obama paid off a bunny, it doesn’t matter. The liberal press would have protected him by giving it next to no coverage. It certainly would not have been the lead story on ABC World News. For The People

This is for Starlight. Apparently you don’t listen very good. Gov. Wolf said if the tax reform bill would go to his office he would sign it and he’s still saying the same thing. Get your facts straight next time.

So all the people complainin­g about all this rain we’ve been having how would you like to live up in the Andes where they average 20 feet per year?

Trump tweeted “What kind of a lawyer would tape a client?” Isn’t it obvious? Cohen’s in it for the money but knows his client is a liar and would turn on him in a Washington minute. Lord Liv

Anyone who still believes anything this president says is just being foolish.

In the Trump economy, more millennial­s are finding jobs and moving out of their mom’s and dad’s basements. Trump just won’t stop separating children from their parents.
