Read what friends and neighbors have to say

Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversation.

Question, why didn’t Trump ask for $5 billion when the Republicans had both House and Senate and had the votes to pass the bill for the wall? Something smells.

Please my Republican friends don’t encourage Lady Di. Here is a fact. Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign director, shared 2016 polling data with a Russian associate. This is the pathway by which the Russians had access to Trump’s campaign data. This data helped the Russians with the Hillary campaign. Need I say anymore?

Can we please turn the page on Donald Trump? I am so tired of reading all the Sound Offs and they’re all Donald Trump this and Donald Trump that. I want to know what my neighbors are doing. I don’t care what Donald Trump is doing.

I recently attended a basketball game at the Boyertown Senior High School. I just happened to look up at the large heating ducts in the gymnasium. The ducts are white in color. I was shocked to see how dirty the tops of the ducts were, they were gray in color. Next time you go there check it out. I thought a gymnasium should be one of the cleanest rooms in the school.

If the Eagles trade Nick Foles I will not be an Eagles fan anymore because he is better than Wentz.

If you are a bad person the best friend you could ever have would be a conservative. Conservatives have supported pedophile Roy Moore, racist David Duke, traitor Paul Manafort and finally Russian lover Donald Trump. They defend them while all they want to talk about is Obama’s house. #gutless.

Mr. Fitch, in 1836 the wall was the state-of-the-art. It’s now 2019 and we have to let technology take over to prevent immigration.

I read the article by Lowman Henry in Sunday’s Mercury about our wonderful governor declaring he could do a tax and grab now on gasoline and everything else because of this Paris climate change that he signed into law that he wants to follow. That’s just wonderful. More Democrats, more taxes.

Hey Logical Bob, so Schumer and Pelosi’s one big lie is worse than Donald Trump’s 7,000 lies? At what school did you take math? What about Trump’s big lie that Mexico will pay for the wall? Not only do people like you tend to forget that but you’re willing to get out your checkbook and ask how much Mr. President?

Today I’m ashamed of our so-called political leaders in both parties. Socrates said “When the debate is lost slander becomes the tool of the loser.”

Obama when he was president appointed Jim Yong Kim to be head of the World Bank. Wow, did he siphon money off of America. He basically used that position to steal from America and give to China.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the entire staff at the Manatawny Manor nursing home for the wonderful care my mother Madeline received. Although her stay was only 41 days the care was excellent and very compassionate. I’d like to especially thank all the nurses on C wing and just everyone involved. I was so happy with the care. I’ll never be able to replace her but I’m just glad that she had the time that she did there.

I see where former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort shared polling dated during the 2016 presidential campaign with a business associate with ties to Russian intelligence. The revelation marks the first time prosecutors have accused Trump’s chief campaign aide of sharing information related to the election with his Russian contacts. Donnie, isn’t that collusion?

This message is in reply to the comment about all you Trump lovers from Boyertown. For your information the Social Security department is still operating. I know because I got my payment this month. I’m just grateful that this border shutdown is going to show people just how bloated and unnecessary most of our federal government really is. It’s worth it to keep our country safe from illegal intruders.

Does anyone care that Russia is establishing bases on Cuba, has sailed a ship to Venezuela and has sent up a super missile? Now Cuba has tight strategic security in Venezuela. Venezuelans are fleeing from this socialist utopia.

Walls always work anywhere in the world they are used and that’s exactly why the Democrats are fighting them so hard. They know only too well if Trump can restore and protect our southern borders it will be curtains for their 2020 presidential hopes. Their hatred of President Trump is overshadowing their better judgment for the safety of Americans.
