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

With bold leadership, President Trump had the courage to recognize Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel. Each of the last three presidents promised to do it but all of them lost their nerve somewhere along the way during their eight-year terms.

Men who hurt little girls shouldn’t go to the Senate. They should go to jail.

To Facts Matter just because you hate Trump gives you no right to insult the man and constantly try to put the world’s problems on him. Get your blinders off and blame the real cause — Hillary, Obama and the out-of-control losing Democrats. Boy you guys really can’t bow down with dignity.

Martha sorry that your schedule is so full that you fell two weeks behind on your Sound Off call-in. It’s just that your support of Donald Trump is so valuable here. People do call about the Democrats but the support for Donald is starting to waiver. Please give those back-sliders a reason for hanging in there.

This is to the person who complained about the new Christmas stamp and the star. The Star of Bethlehem shined over the place where Jesus lay in the manger. That’s what the stamp depicts. It’s the same star that the Wise Men saw but the star shined over the manger in Bethlehem.

Murder has no statute of limitation­s but all the other crimes do. If you rob a bank, you mug somebody, beat somebody up, break into a house, after so many years you can’t charge them. So what is the time limit on these girls making these claims against these guys? Some of it is a simple offense like trying to kiss them. How is that a crime? You’d think after a year or two it would run out and they can’t charge them anymore.

The Philadelph­ia Premium Outlets should not allow Airport Road to become an exit road next year for Black Friday. As a local I sat in traffic for 40 minutes, it normally takes me 10. There are no other malls in the area that have separate entrance and exit Roads during Black Friday.

I’m not sure whose idea that was but it just backed up traffic even more. Don’t Close Airport Road For The Locals

I watch “Family Feud” all the time. It’s a great family show. Steve Harvey is nuts but he’s funny as anything. Why don’t we have the Clintons and the Trumps do one for charity? Just a thought.

The article in The Mercury pertaining to the Upper Perk Middle School showed people in the audience holding up signs, “We need a new middle school.” I feel like the sign should say “What can you afford?” And I think the people spoke in a loud voice in that manner.

Here’s something a little different, watching an old program of Andy Williams Christmas specials. Does anybody else out there miss these things as I do? Why don’t they do these beautiful programs any longer?

To uneducated white male, Obama had class and empathy

for the less fortunate. Trump only cares about himself and his uneducated base.

Just when you think Donald Trump could not get any worse, he does. When he was running for office he promised to get out of the rest of the world and let them decide their own fate. He said we needed to get out of Afghanista­n and Iraq and what did he do? Send more troops. Now he’s sticking his nose in Israel and Palestinia­n problems. He wants to move and build a new embassy in Jerusalem for millions and millions.

I was just wondering about the water that gushes out at the building on Queen Street at Moser Road by the Nagle Center. Water gushes out of there all the time, it has potholes, there’s always puddles there, it freezes up in the winter. How is this legal? Something needs to be done about that, it’s very dangerous.

This president has had an alarming effect on over 1.6 billion Muslims with his snap decision to now proclaim that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. In

an attempt to find his way into the history books he has probably set off a major fire storm that will last long after he is gone and impeached. Troubling foolishnes­s.

I am an older lady who has nothing to do on Christmas day until 4 p.m. I was wondering if anyone could tell me of any churches or organizati­ons providing breakfast for people in need on Christmas morning where I could volunteer to help. Mustang Jackie

I was wondering how the postal service can have the audacity to want to raise the price of stamps based on their performanc­e as far as delivering the mail. It is ridiculous.
