NOW HE TELLS US
Phillies GM Matt Klentak said he was waiting until 2018 to buy a great free agent. Now he says 2019 because the team is so bad and the prospects won’t be ready until 2019. How about this – get a top pitcher and a top hitter in 2018. Let the kids have somebody to lean on and look up to, then maybe the prospects will develop better. He’s got to stop shopping at the Dollar Store for hitters.
THINGS CHANGE
To “Big Bopper On Broadway,” I’ve lived in Clifton Heights for over 65 years, and yes things have changed. But look around you – so have other places. Some good changes, some bad. If you’re so unhappy, save some energy from complaining and move. You won’t be missed. SATISFIED CLIFTON RESIDENT
DO-NOTHINGS
Don’t the Phillies remind you of the Democrats? They get paid a lot of money; they’re pros on paper; then they walk out there and lay a big goose egg. You do the wrong things, make errors and get paid a lot of money for doing nothing. Go for it Phillies, act like the Democrats in Philadelphia city government. Good luck, Phillies; good luck, Democrats.
OFF WITH HER HEAD
I did not vote for Donald Trump but I do think that the stunt pulled by Kathy Griffin was below the belt. I mean, that’s not even close to comedy. And come to think of it, none of these modern comedians are very funny. Give me Jackie Gleason any day. BABY BOOMER IN BOOTHWYN
ALL ABOUT THE MONEY
I know all of the intellectual Democrats/liberals read the Paris Climate Accord, so you already know this. As stated in Article 9, “Developed country Parties shall provide financial resources to assist developing country Parties …” and continues on to describe exactly what climate change has always been about – a global redistribution of wealth. The U.S. pays billions of dollars up front to a global fund for a ridiculously small result, while other countries don’t contribute. As always, Obama and Kerry were so desperate for the sake of appearance that they signed a bad deal. It doesn’t mean climate science is a hoax, as much as it is the way liberals deal with it that’s the hoax. THE REAL HOAX
DOUBLE TALK
OK, this isn’t about Trump. It’s about how clueless people in general are. Trump is proposing to privatize air-traffic control, saying it will get travellers where they are going more quickly, more reliably, more affordably, and on time. Why? Because it isn’t run by the government? That’s like saying the same thing if you privatized the state highway department. How? How is the government run department less safe, less affordable and slower? It’s the same space.
TEARS WATER MY SOUL
Do think maybe the Daily Times could put out the simple truth one time? They’re talking when the news about Donald Trump and leaving the Paris Accord and all these other countries are sitting and crying about it. Well, let’s get the facts out: The people in this country have been wasting millions of dollars every single year, handing it to these other countries. Now these countries want to cry about not getting our money anymore. The American citizen is tired of putting money out to other countries who aren’t doing anything. We’re tired of baby sitting. Trump has already stated that if they want to come to the table and make a better agreement that he would consider it. But no, they want to cry.

Jodine Mayberry is as disgusting as your paper is. Rename your paper the Democratic Times.
A STUPID EXTREMIST
Mike Pence was quoted as saying that us pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord was refreshing. I always knew Mike Pence was a right-wing extremist, but I never thought he was dumb enough to say that being stupid is refreshing. Because that’s we’re pulling out of this accord is – stupid. American workers are not being hurt by us being in it, but they will be hurt by us pulling out of it. ONE WHO KNOWS
