We need teachers, not babysitter­s. Pottstown teachers don’t get paid enough to have to deal with those kids. If you are assaulted at your job what would you do? What would be done to your assaulter? Since it’s kids nothing is done. These trouble-making kids need to be sent to Glen Mills School or somewhere similar. No excuses. At least there they will learn respect and discipline since they aren’t learning it at home.

On that Cosby trial they ought to bill Bill Cosby for the $219,000 and not make the taxpayers pay for it.

I see where some Democratic senators want Donald Trump’s son tried for treason because they said that the Russians are our enemy and he met with a Russian lawyer. Also I guess they forgot when Hillary sold 20 percent of our uranium to Russia and our president Barack Obama signed off on it, but I guess that wasn’t considered treason or rather an act of love.

There is an investigat­ion looking into whether the Trump campaign helped the Russians target voters with fake news about Hillary Clinton. Remember WikiLeaks? The Russians would not know what areas of the states to target their messages. If this trail leads to Trump’s digital operations then the campaign is guilty of collusion with another country.

This is for Hawaiian Punch Party. Are you kidding me? President Trump is a billionair­e and he isn’t taking a salary so what are you talking about that he’s getting rich by being president? That makes no sense at all. And for the person who said unemployme­nt is up you’re the one listening to fake news — 222,000 jobs were just added by Trump as well as the stock market is at an all-time high. So you guys don’t know what you’re talking about. We Trumpers know the truth. Bonnie

I’m talking for all the gentlemen out there who are husbands or significan­t others. The hardest thing you will ever have to do is stand by your wife, back up your wife, when you know she’s wrong. You’ll find that out.

President Trump son’s name appears more and more in the news. Please tell me how old is his son now? I hope somebody answers this. Freddy

People say 60 is the new 40. The cop who just pulled me over didn’t agree. Sarcastic Sam

How long will this be tolerated? When you work for the White House you have to fill out disclosure forms and reveal what foreign government­s you had contact with. They lie, get caught and amend their disclosure form. This has happened so many times it’s sickening. How can you forget talking to a Russian official? They should be prosecuted and be put in jail.

A lot of people on Obamacare are saying they really love Obamacare because it seems like they’re getting a lot of things for free. What about the people that are paying like $1,500 a month now for insurance when they used to pay like $600 or $700? What about those people?

This is for Betty about the man sleeping on the bench in Pottstown. Be happy you have a home and you’re not homeless like him sleeping on the bench too.

To Facts Matter, Democrats created this abominable care which is just another entitlemen­t. You’re right it is here to stay. Screaming that it is a tax cut to the rich is just a ruse and 200,000 people will die because of it. Democrats are always crying wolf. It’s not a tax cut it’s just less of an increase to Medicaid than expected. Democrats always give things away for free and take it out of other people’s pockets. Democrats should jump on board and try to fix the disaster they started. Real Facts Matter

Sometimes in our life we have to make extremely difficult decisions in our life and move forward and do not look back.

In this new health care bill people making $25,000 or less will save $40 a year. The top one percent will save $900,000 a year. You think that’s fair? Give me a break. Jay Miller

How insulting, the Donald hitting on France’s first lady. Dress him up and can’t take him any place. Disgusted Hey Catbird, just want you to know you bring a chuckle to my heart and a tickle to my ribs with your ideas and by the way changing Route 422 to 25 mph would that be the bypass or the business route because sometimes I might have to go 30 mph just to get home and start dinner. Thanks again catbird you’re on.

My clothes have been shrinking for years and I’ve always blamed the clothes dryer for that problem. I finally realized I’ve been blaming the wrong appliance. It’s not the dryer, it’s the refrigerat­or. Jim Fitch
