I see where Owen J. Roberts School District spent $28.2 million on a new school because they said they couldn’t put air conditioning in their old school. I’ve been in buildings that were built in the 18th and 19th century. They have air conditioning. They just put wall units in. You don’t have to air condition hallways, bathrooms and the gymnasium, and when summer time comes you can just shut it off.

Did anyone but me notice that when Bill Cosby and his wife were walking into the courthouse he did not seem to need any help? He was leading the way. What an academy award performance he put on. N

Jim Fitch, please keep sending your wonderful observations to The Mercury daily. They are the first comments I look for and love. Another Admirer

I was in a grocery store and I was checking out and somebody made a rude remark about me. I feel that that isn’t right. I am here to shop not to be criticized or put down and I seriously wonder how you feel that’s OK. Why don’t you leave those feelings for your home life not in your professional life? I didn’t see professional at that store, although the girl who dealt with me she was very nice. It was two other cashiers who were nasty and I just think that it’s wrong.

I see Meek Mill is still looking to reform the criminal justice system even though he only served five months of the 2-to-4-year sentence. When you mess up, you violate parole, you go to jail. What’s so hard to understand about that? I don’t care if you’re a rapper or whatever, you mess up, you do time. He got off way too easy.

I think they should get in touch with the AKA, the American Knife Association, and they should take away all the knives, butter knives and everything, from people so that they don’t have weapons. I also heard something about comedians about their foul mouths. To me a comedian with a foul mouth is not a comedian. I was a class clown and I’ve been a comedian my whole life and if I could speak without speaking foul then I’m really funny. Jay P.

The Lower Pottsgrove Township commissioners are happy to congratulate one another on spending taxpayer money to buy property without a purpose. No one has pointed out yet that two of the members of the committee are members of the same family.

Patrick Meehan helped so many people when he was in office. He’s about 63-years-old now. He started in his 20s. That was a wrong thing to do to him. Whatever happened in his personal life should’ve been left out of his work. He did great work for the citizens of Pennsylvania.

OJR School Board President Booth who sits as building and grounds chairman is doing so in violation of OJR school policy, Policy 005 on the site. And no one in the press is reporting this. She must step down as chairman of buildings and grounds or as president of the school board. She cannot do both. Violation of school policy. Maybe this is why there’s so many problems with East Coventry’s new school being built.

Donald Trump, keep saying that the Mueller investigation is a witch hunt. Fine, call it that but just so you know Donnie boy you are the witch and you will be found.

Lordy Lordy, I hope there’s tapes, and there is. Jay Miller

Last weekend I saw on the 69 TV broadcast hundreds of Pottstonians marched against global warming. The left’s false facts of global warming are now touted as climate change. This is done so men can be controlled through the fear of the unknown. The global elite have plans to stop climate change by reducing the population, namely you. Didn’t the elite tell you that?

This is about Rudy Giuliani who was married to Regina Peruggi when in 1993 during a campaign it was revealed she was his second cousin. When this came out Rudy the so-called smart lawyer claimed he didn’t know she was a cousin. After 14 years of marriage, the marriage was annulled. Rudy was married three times like Trump. It recalls to my mind that birds of a feather flock together. They deserve each other. Bob of Phoenixville

This is not Info Depot, but Christianity is about love, not religion. People came up with religion not God. God is simply good and bad, right and wrong, simple Ten Commandments, that’s all. And it is about love and sharing and caring for one another. Those who talk about the money they’re not Christians to begin with let alone a religion.
