Hey Democrats, do we have another double standard here? I understand that Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-California) for the past 20 years has had what they say is some type of a Chinese spy driving her around and she knew of this at least several times, in fact the FBI tipped her off back in 2013. So I wonder what’s going to happen with her. You guys have it down pat I have to say you Democrats the way you get away with stuff like this. See what happens. Mom’s Mobley

I hope Jay and all you never-Trumpers are proud of Mayor Kenney for not informing ICE of that Honduran immigrant. They let him out again, and this time he sexually assaulted a 5-year-old girl. That could be your daughter. Think about that for a minute. That could very well be your daughter. Are you guys OK with that? Let me hear from all of you who want no wall and open borders. I’m curious as to what you say to that. Bonnie

Last Friday, and it’s been five days, I had a phone call that said you will be picked up by the police and there are serious allegation­s against your name. The phone number ends in 8331. Well I figure if they haven’t found me yet they must not be that serious of allegation­s. Just want to let you know the scammers are out there. Don’t call them back. Don’t give them your informatio­n.

At one of Trump’s rallies I saw a sign that said, “I prefer Russians over Democrats.” What sick people they are.

Trump’s tax cut savings reportedly bypassing workers and into pockets of executives as Donald Trump mulls another hundred billion tax breaks for the rich. The CEOs are reportedly receiving millions from stock buy-backs after Trump’s tax cut. One thing can be said is they are the party bought and paid for by Russia.

It’s quite simple to figure out why people don’t use their turn signals any more these days. It’s because they only have two hands, one hand is needed for the steering wheel and the other hand is needed for their cell phone.

In Douglass (Mont.) this is addressed to the person who commented to me about the issue of creating a group of taxpayers to monitor the supervisor­s. You said that there is already a board set up to do that. This board of auditors only has two members on it which I think to monitor supervisor­s there should be at least three members for voting purposes just like the supervisor­s have three members. When is the board of auditors going to start doing their job? Concerned Taxpayer

How come in the news in the world media it’s OK for the militants in Gaza Strip to launch 180 rockets and mortar shells into Israel and that’s OK? If Israel retaliates and strikes the military compounds we only hear about children and women being killed. Do you think the news media is anti-Israeli or antiJewish? You would think so.

I love Trump at rallies. He’s out of the swamp and surrounded by support, not attacks. He knows we appreciate the achievemen­ts he has made. To Jim Fitch’s Friday comment, Samson was a beautiful baby that touched a lot of lives as you have also. Humans could learn about love and loyalty from our fur babies. May God bless America. Lady Di

To the person who just started collecting unemployme­nt, when unemployme­nt is really high people keep collecting it even though the state may not have the money. The federal government subsidizes them. When unemployme­nt falls to a low period the fund has to be rebuilt up so they take some of your unemployme­nt money away to rebuild that fund. It’s not just you it’s been like that for many years. As far as taxes, federally you have to pay them.

For the first time in the history of civilizati­on people are angry with a politician because he is keeping his campaign promises. #Trump2020. Grizz K.

Well I see the Eagles were one of the teams that had protests during the national anthem. Thought they were going to fire the players. You didn’t see anyone at all last year on the Eagles team protest and you won’t this year either and do you know why? Because they are America’s team and Donald Trump praised the Cowboys. Make America great again.

It seems both the red and the blue parties are trying to destroy America as we know it. Politician­s could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names and all are different colors but they all have to live in the same box. Jim Fitch
