These kids who walked out of school for guns, are they going to walk out for the drugs that kill more than guns do?

The NRA kills zero people per day and receives zero dollars in taxpayer funding. Planned Parenthood kills 887 people per day and receives $500 million in taxpayer dollars per year and the media thinks the NRA is the evil one. Go figure.

I love these people who complain about not getting mail every day. What do you think you’re going to get in the mail? It’s mostly bills and credit card applicatio­n stuff. Do you think you’ve got a pen pal somewhere you’re waiting for? Come on people you need to probably get a job instead of just waiting for your mail.

I’m just wondering if the same kids that are protesting guns will stand up to the bullies that are bullying the same kids in their own classrooms.

Donald Trump says he wants to run the country like he does his business. Well he is. He’s crooked in business and he’s crooked in the White House. Hillary Clinton ain’t got nothing on him.

How dare the money donated specifical­ly to the Pottstown Y and the massive fundraiser to keep the warm pool operating for physicians to send patients for rehab and seniors to exercise be deliberate­ly given away. We should be thankful that Mr. Smith continuall­y gave back to his community and that there were people sacrificin­g to work to raise money dedicated to Pottstown and to use that money wisely.

I was handed a “Rally Together” sheet concerning the violence at the Pottstown Middle School. Last year 25 teachers were assaulted and injured by students. Last half of the 201617 school year there were over 70 fights reported within the building. Facts report that two students within a week apart were jumped by several students at the same time and had to be taken to the ER for injuries. These kids are 13-14 years old. Are you kidding me?

The problem with you Lady Di is the fact that you cannot accept that the Republican Party has already fallen apart.

To the reader who recently read about the 104-year-old woman who has to leave her assisted living place, it’s true, it is that costly. It is the most ridiculous thing I ever saw. They took every penny my aunt had. She was there for awhile, made friends and then she had to leave and a month later passed away. It was a state-owned facility. They make sure that you’re completely broke before you get moved and it doesn’t take long. You can live in the Taj Mahal for that much.

Thank you President Obama for being a patriot and showing our country what a patriot really is supposed to be. Good job.

To Lord Liv, what would your solution to North Korea be? Like the past administra­tion, give them more money? Thankfully our military is again being strengthen­ed. Our president doesn’t apologize for being a strong nation or fund the terrorists. How can you call it diplomacy with a country that wants to destroy you? I call it idiocy.

Lady Di

Yes, Jay Miller, tourism is down. No one wants to come to the land of the free diminished by the home of the abrasive leftist rhetoric.

This is in regards to Bill Cosby. The judge should have laughed those so-called females out of court. They didn’t mind laying around umpteen years ago when they were young and pretty and thought they could make some money and probably a name for themselves since he was an actor. Well laugh them out of court now because they’re old and wrinkled and can’t make any money, and that’s their fault not his.

We see how that walkout last week to protest the school violence went, especially in Washington, D.C. I see some of the prominent Democrats showed up like Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders and guess what? They had police and security surroundin­g them when they were there. I wonder why? Did they think something was going to happen to them by the students who were protesting and turning their back from the White House? Democrats are really good at hypocrisy.

The person who called in that they wouldn’t watch Channel 6 any more because of the Flexiderm and My Pillow commercial­s, Channel 3 is worse. They took off a whole program, “Let’s Make A Deal,” for a half hour of yoga and another half hour of My Pillow commercial­s. So that’s worse than Channel 6. They eliminated the whole program. They’re all out to mess up your programmin­g.

With all the people in Washington being fired, left go or resigning, it’s getting to be a game of Russian Roulette.
