I think it’s just great the way the Pottstown Borough Council decided what roads should be used as bike lanes because two bikes just went down the front of my house and I am nowhere near the bike lanes. So you defaced Pottstown property and the beautiful town of Pottstown to put poles and white lines all over the stupid place. Thank you Pottstown for nothing.

I love getting these telephone calls threatenin­g me that they’re shutting down my computer access because I haven’t paid my bill. Well ha ha ha. I don’t have a computer, never did and never intend to and they’re all beyond belief all these FBI calls and all these other calls demanding money, etc. They can all go to grass. Don’t believe any of these fake calls and don’t respond to them.

President Trump’s tariff policy does not benefit one citizen of the United States of America, not one. All it does is it’s going to make things more expensive especially for lower income people. It’s just a pet peeve he has. He is so ignorant and uninformed of how things really work in this world it’s pathetic. He gave himself an A-plus the other day. Who didn’t know that? For him to earn an honest A-plus he’d have to be back in fifth grade. It’s a shame. —Alan Ritz

I never thought I would say that Jeff Sessions is turning out to be a strong individual. He has a spine which is more than can be said for the bulk of the Republican­s now occupying the swamp in Washington and diving as deep as they can to try and keep up with Trump.

How many people were so excited for pre-season to begin and what happened only two football teams played on TV. The rest of them you had to have the more expensive cable package to see them probably. So pre-season, there was nothing to talk about thanks to Comcast.

The other day President Trump said if he ever got impeached the stock market would probably crash and everybody would be poor. Oh please Mr. President. Ironically he said that on the very day the stock market set a record for being a bull market consecutiv­ely than ever done before in history. It started over nine years ago. Gee Donald, I didn’t think you were in office nine years ago. I must have been asleep or something.

I can’t believe that they are having a beer fest at the old Pennhurst State School. Just another attempt to desecrate the memory of the pain and the suffering that occurred on that property. Doesn’t anyone remember or care what happened there? The owners of the property ought to be ashamed of themselves. — Mike R.

Manafort was convicted of eight felony counts for stealing millions of dollars from the American taxpayers, and Trump said he’s a good man. —Jay Miller

I live in Sanatoga and my zip code is 19464-2978 and I am trying to find out what congressio­nal district I am in and who are the candidates running for the U.S. House of Representa­tives. No one seems to have any answer. If anyone out there has an answer please post it or call me at 610-323-7059. —Robert Boyce

Jim Fitch, your joke about Barack Obama’s legacy fell as flat as an old tire. Let’s see, who was in office when Osama bin Laden was taken down? Oh yeah, it was Obama. At the rate he’s going the current president won’t have a legacy at all, he’ll have a criminal record instead.

I was just listening to the news. Nature Valley has pesticides in it and people are getting sick from it. Why do they always have stuff that’s good and then they go ahead and have some problems? The second thing is the grocery bags, some of of the stores want you to pay for the bags. The grocery stores are raising the prices of everything and they need the bag money yet? They better start giving brown bags or I won’t be around there anymore.

It’s false that Trump was tougher on Russia than President Obama. The facts are that the Obama administra­tion’s most significan­t retaliator­y measures against Russia came after Trump’s election. Trump did not have to do anything as President Obama’s measures came into effect in 2017. Trump has continuous­ly supported the Russians finding no fault and still does not believe they were in our elections.

To our wonderful president, please continue to answer and respond to all the question that you are asked the same way you have for the last 19 months. Remember what Seinfeld’s George Castanza told Jerry before he was about to take a lie detector test — “Jerry, it’s not a lie if you believe it.” —Jimmy Vod
