People, here is how you get rid of lantern flies. Invest in fly swatters and beat them off your trees. On the ground if they move step on them. It’s great therapy. I’m really level and cool as I check my tree several times a day. I’m hoping I’m removing all the egg layers. Maybe I’m putting a dent in it. No one else seems to be.

West Pottsgrove Township, I’m wondering why the police aren’t around by the Stowe Post Office. They need to have some stuff here done about junk cars and everything else.
Pennsylvania has the highest gasoline tax in the nation, is 48th in credit rating, 46th in state funding for public education. Gerrymandering has to be stopped.
Donald called John McCain not a hero because he got captured. What do you call a fivetime deferment? I call him a coward.
From where I sit, when a president does something wrong and is found guilty then and only then can they decide should we impeach him for that. You don’t decide you don’t like a person and then say he should be impeached and then search for a reason to do the impeachment. Such a messy thing going on.
Why did Donald Trump not put out a message honoring John McCain? Sure he tweeted to his family but he never said anything about Sen. McCain himself. Very poor taste for the president of the United States but what do you expect from the man who says he likes soldiers who don’t get caught in wars by the enemy and attacks Gold Star families?
Being a Democrat does not make me responsible for that poor girl being murdered in Iowa any more than you as Republicans are responsible for all the mass shootings or the American who killed his pregnant wife and two young girls. However, did you know that the wife of the farm owner that hired the illegal was a Republican mega donor? Instead of Democrats wanting illegals for voting purposes I believe it is Republicans who want them for cheap labor.
It’s football season so here’s a metaphor. Team Obama was handed the economic ball deep in their own end zone and they took it 90 yards to the 10 and handed it off to Team Trump. Now the president is celebrating in the end zone and taking all the credit.
To the person not afraid to work who felt it necessary to add their two cents, if you’re crazy enough to work for half the wages you were making when working, go ahead. I paid into the unemployment fund while working so I’m actually getting my own money back. Does anyone know the phone number I would call to get free food stamps? Keep working and keep your comments to yourself.
Looking to the bright side of life, it was so nice to see all the happy children getting on their buses and happily walking to school. It would’ve been so much nicer if they would’ve had the school uniforms on. I so much loved those uniforms. The children all looked equal and I’m sure that there’s going to be some bullying and I hate to see that. Hope the children stay happy all year.
Come on Hill School, I thought you were taking care of Edgewood Cemetery. You got all the money, spend it.
I recently saw an ad for a gun buyback program. Participating in a gun buyback program because you think criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you think your neighbors have too many kids.

I do not know why the schools, Pottstown and now Pottsgrove, have directors of community relations. Really what a waste of taxpayer money. Spend it on the kids not retired teachers.
The media Democrats are criticizing President Trump for not praising John McCain. How would you feel if you were the president of the United States and were told you are not welcome at the funeral? That is a total disgrace to our country.
I was on the phone an hour and 15 minutes to get a phone number from Windstream and I ended up calling the Pottstown Hospital to get the number because Windstream couldn’t help me. I was an operator in Philadelphia for nine years, loved every minute, and we were really on the ball and knew what we were doing.

This is to the person who said that Obama was in office when bin Laden was killed. Obama was also in office when he sold 20 percent of the uranium to the Russians. Also while in office he went over and apologized for America’s greatness to Europe during World War II. He was in office when Benghazi happened, and when his wife came out with the lunches for kids that they won’t eat, and he also badmouthed the police.
