Thank you school board members in the Boyertown School District for passing a new policy of armed guards, deadly force permitted. Perhaps it could be a deterrent from something like that happening. I hope other school districts follow the same. Save our children.

Attention Lower Pottsgrove taxpayers. How many of you are aware of the proposal by our commission­ers and their newly-formed infrastruc­ture committee composed of people appointed by the commission­ers that work in the township to build a new multi-million dollar campus township building at Pleasantvi­ew Road and East High Street? They call it a proposal but it’s more than that. They have already spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars pushing this through.

Hey Lefty, how come you’re not down in Puerto Rico with the rest of the Democrats? The big shot Democrat leaders, they’re soaking up the sun, laying on the beach and they’re probably drinking Coronas all the while the federal workers aren’t getting paid. Federal workers by the way over 80 percent of them are Democrats. They vote Democrat but your party doesn’t care about them because you’re only interested in the illegals. —Mom’s Mobley

Here’s one. I’ve been following Mr. Trump for quite a while. Why doesn’t he declare bankruptcy to get the wall built? He’s pretty good at that. That’s all I’ve got to say.

Why is it that people who are on public payroll such as police, teachers in particular, get pay raises that are well above the cost-of-living allowance?

If the saying “Liar, liar pants on fire” was true, Trump would have been cremated a long time ago. —CK

Hey Lady Di, you come across as a religious and righteous person but you support the most habitually lying president we’ve ever had and will never have again. I think there’s a Commandmen­t somewhere about that. Check your Bible. —Jimmy Vod

Why do these government workers think they’re so special? Let them go and sign up for unemployme­nt like everybody else has to do if they get laid off. I know by experience after 30 years I had to start over. Why are they thinking they’re so special? Apparently they’re not that necessary or the government would actually shut down without them working.

Every illegal alien who has worked in America was paid by a law-breaking American. Why don’t we focus on this? Every one of these Americans willingly broke the law. If the jobs go away so will many of the illegal aliens. —A Concerned Senior Citizen

Remember to circle Feb. 7 on your calendar. Michael Cohen will lay it on the line concerning Trump and his illegal campaign payments. Stormy Daniels will be there to cheer Cohen on. Trump and Cohen were meant for each other. #conservati­vecheaters —Lefty

I too was offended by the comment of the couple who went to the King of Prussia Mall. How could they assume who are migrants and who were not just by looking at people? I think that’s racial profiling as they call it.

Max Boot wrote a column the other day, “18 reasons why Trump could be a Russian asset.” Let that sink in. —Jay Miller I think somebody ought to get after the people on Queen Street. Some of us clean our walks off so it’s safe for the mailman and other people to walk and other neighbors think that they don’t have to do anything. Three or four days after the snow and the whole front of their houses are still full of snow. I understand we’re supposed to get a fine if we don’t clean it off. This is starting to be a problem every time it snows. It’s not fair for the mailman.

Yes Jim Fitch, those cats might be Democrats in little fur coats but more likely they’re just brainless Republican­s spinning around in circles on the floor. You should take your act on late night TV when most people are sleeping.

If you are going to call in and complain and use code words like migrants, immigrants or Section 8 housing recipients please open all your statements with “I am a racist.” Also if you still support Trump please open all your statements with “I am a racist that’s why I support Trump.”

I was watching PCN TV and the governor was talking about bullying in the school districts. Does that go top to bottom as far as administra­tion and custodial staff including all schools in this area?
