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

I heard somebody say one time that if we don’t humble ourselves eventually, God will do it for us. I totally believe and understand that saying. It’s not really to punish us I don’t believe, but it’s the only way he can get through to a lot of us. Thank you God.

Well Kathleen Kane is going to the slammer where she belongs. How’s this liberals? You always say you are for the people. Obviously not. Come on Jay Miller, let’s see you defend this crooked politician liberal.

In the new year of 2019 I’m expecting Trump to either get impeached or to quit. I think he thought he was going to come in and wave a magic wand and all this stuff was going to happen. Where’s the great health insurance he promised for everybody, Saudi Arabia getting away with murder literally, jobs disappeari­ng at General Motors. Yeah, he got some things done but he’s falling short on many other things. I really believe he’s going to quit.

Appreciate Tom Hylton keeping us informed about all Charles Gulati and family do to help with the YMCA and Sunnybrook in Pottstown. Kudos to both of them.

About Council President Weand giving most speakers three minutes and one or more six minutes, his answer “Oops the six minutes were a special presentati­on.” Does this not sound Trumpish?

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, admitted he had negotiatio­ns to build a tower in Moscow for Trump during the presidenti­al campaign. Cohen said he discussed the project with Trump on more than three occasions and to top it off Trump was going to give Putin the president of Russia a $50 million condo. Remember when Trump told us he never had any relations of any kind with Russia? More lies from Trump.

This is for the lady that called in about the potato chips. You can go to the Dollar Store and get some. The bags are a little smaller but it’s still only $1 and they have plenty of other snacks too, veggie chips and pretzels and they’re all $1. Good luck to you.

All of Donald Trump’s critics are liars and only he tells the truth. Did I also mention that the sun was green and the grass is polka dot? Let me put it this way, if Trump was Pinocchio his nose would stretch the entire length of the border wall that he wants to have built with enough left over for everyone in the world to do the limbo. Yeah, he gets my respect.

Since the tax cuts were passed last year 1,000 large corporatio­ns have cut 140,000 jobs.

The hypocrisy and double standards are sickening. They lock Kathleen Kane up but Comey admits publicly and goes on a book tour for the same charges. As far as global warming the biggest vendors are the loudest voices. They really try to insult our intelligen­ce but then you see how well it works.

Donald Trump does not deserve respect. He and his family deserve to go to prison.

Please can’t this telephone company stop all these calls all day long from people that don’t even answer when you answer your telephone? I’m tired of answering the telephone and nobody speaks.

The FBI has posted a notice that in all the major cities 90 percent of all shootings are related to drugs or drug users. Nothing new. Look at Pottstown.

This message goes out to Lefty. Even the fake news CNN reports that a very small percentage of the migrants at our southern border are women and children. They’ve also found over 500 cases of infectious disease within these people. Get your facts straight before you spout off.

Mr. President, when was the last time this year you saw five days of straight sunshine? Global warming is real. Get with it.

At this time of the year and holiday season to the person making $21 an hour and can’t buy a new truck, cry me a river. My heart feels for many but you’re certainly not one.
