Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversation.
I was heading down Jackson Street from the YMCA toward the hospital and what did I see? They put up new signs along the bike lane “No vehicles permitted.” Call me stupid or whatever, but you’d think they would be happy at least somebody is using these bike lanes. It’s just another example nationwide of another abomination of wasting taxpayers’ money. Just some food for thought.
I see where Sen. Elizabeth Warren who’s running for president in 2020 one of her top priorities is to break up these major tech companies across the country. She says they’re too big, too powerful. However one thing she didn’t say is in the past she has taken money from these same companies that she wants to break up. Isn’t that something? Again, Democrats, hypocrite is not even a good enough word to describe you anymore.

John “Doc” Dougherty, union cronies and a Philadelphia councilman were indicted on 116 charges of corruption. Doc was key in securing Democrat control of our state Supreme Court which included his brother. That court altered the state’s congressional representation. In HR1, each new Democrat legislator supported the proposition that illegals should vote in local elections.

With texting, tweeting and emails the art of personal conversation is dying. Those who know me and my motor mouth will tell you I’m doing my part to keep it alive.

It’s about time Joe Biden along with his young socialist sidekick make their move. He looks like the last hope for the Democrats and he is only doing it for the win. But we don’t need a socialist drug in by a moderate who will only serve four years. I guess that’s the way we go down now and most of you will vote for it.

I went past a sign for a car wash that said, “Salt is good for fries but bad on cars.” That’s so very true. Also the liquid that the state sprays is also bad for your brake lining. There’s also other things that are bad like fluoride which is bad for ingestion even though it may help your teeth. And thimerosal is put in vaccines which is a form of mercury. So are those vaccines safe? If it causes autism it’s not safe.
Here’s a little inside information for all the Trumpbashers. Nancy Pelosi has said it’s not worth impeaching Trump. He’s not worth it. The reason she said that is because the Mueller investigation is about to be released and he’s going to come out with nothing.
Why is it when some stores run a sale they never stock some of the sale items? A few times I’ve run into that situation. This week a store had a mixed variety of sodas on sale. I went over on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for a particular soda and they didn’t have any on the shelf and they don’t give out rainchecks on soda. I think they run a sale just to get you in the store hoping you’ll buy other things.
To anyone at the Caernarvon Township building in Morgantown, you moved across the street to the old firehouse but you left the American flag up at the old building. Now it looks like a tattered rag. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Many people are saying they’re getting quite a bit less back on their tax returns. I don’t know if Donald Trump pulled a fast one on us or not. It seems to me like the wealthy are going to make out on this deal.
On the annex and Pottstown School Board spending less, I remember going to many meetings the taxpayer group and voters pro neighborhood schools and spending more, and Tom Hylton invisible at meetings.

I guess I missed the timing on this one. When did we stop becoming America first and become America last? Everybody else in the world understood there was a problem and it had to be resolved except for the White House. Clearly the last people to shut down the Boeing 737 was our man. Unbelievable.
Donald Trump keeps declaring the witch hunt, the witch hunt. But the count of witches being convicted is rising everyday. At some point in time that becomes an indisputable fact. Trump has surrounded himself with criminals like Manafort who may get a pardon from Trump. However New York State has indicted him and if he’s found guilty Trump cannot pardon a state sentence. Is it then back to the witch hunt?

Donald Trump once said that nobody loves the Bible more than he does. I wonder if he’s willing to bet $130,000 on that?
