Mount Union — I would to commend all involved for putting together a time to recognize the youth baseball players from T-ball up through Teener League at the high school game May 4. That was probably really exciting for some of those young kids.

West Twp. — Child predator preying on a young girl is disgusting. Shameful it’s continued this long. Throw the man in prison, exactly where he belongs.

Huntingdon — Huntingdon is a great place to live safe, clean, a good place to raise a family. Why, you ask? Well, every business that wants to locate in the county is voted down by supervisors with no vision for the future. Same goes for the lake. When was the last time new business started at the lake? No, just keep the greedy business people who hold a strong grip on keep outsiders out. My business stays, you are not welcome here, but the tourists, please bring your green back and spend, spend.

Mount Union — Have you ever watched something you love die? Well, that’s the way I feel about this country under the current administration.

Huntingdon — Protect wetlands and keep people from working, build not in Huntingdon, some old retired people want birds, ducks left alone. Well, take them to your home, but let progress alone.

Huntingdon — The new Biden policy of forcing people with good credit scores to subsidize mortgage loans of higher-risk borrowers goes into effect today. Biden’s plan, that nobody voted for, was the decision of an unelected bureaucrat in the federal Finance Housing Agency. The policy was proposed by federal Finance Housing Agency director Sandra L. Thompson. Google her name if you want to see who she is. She should be fired, but they won’t because she is a box checked.

Huntingdon — I don’t want to watch two old, doddering, senile, crazy, boogie man fear mongers fighting each other over the presidency. Get out of our road. You both had your turn.

Walker Twp. — HASD taxpayers, beware! The new superintendent’s agenda is to spend, spend and spend. Over the past year, she’s added four administrative positions a small district doesn’t need. She split an AD/online director position, once held by a single person, into two separate well-paid admin positions, added a HR director and now is adding a director of curriculum and instruction position. Wonder who will foot the bill for these highly paid administrative jobs? Be ready for another tax increase in the very near future. HASD school board, stop being her puppets and please wake up to make sure we have checks and balances in place so she doesn’t continue to spend money the HASD taxpayers don’t have. We’re not Hollidaysburg!

Tyrone — Do you people who rave about Joe Biden and what a great job he is doing have any idea just how stupid you look and sound? Under President Trump, we had the cheapest gas, natural gas, fuel oil, plus, when he left office, gas prices were $2.40 a gallon in central Pennsylvania. More people working then ever before. After two years, people were starting to return to work and you praised him for what a great job he was doing. He had nothing to do with it. People were starving and had very little money left. Joe wants to turn us into a socialist state. The Democratic Party likes Joe because they can tell him what to think, what to say and when to say it. Looking forward to the day he is impeached and branded as a traitor to America.

Porter Twp. — Reading all the negative comments pertaining to the Rutter’s store can be compared to all our protests voiced again and again about the damage the Porter Township solar farm will inflict on our neighbors, property values, wetlands and streams. Every meeting I’ve attended, be it township supervisors’ or planning commission, I was told this solar farm being thrust into our quiet agricultural and residential area is my fault, the taxpayer. How long has the Rutter’s process been stalled? Yet this monstrosity goes at breakneck speed.

Mount Union — Mount Union Area High School’s rendition of Oklahoma! was simply amazing. Every single cast member did a fantastic job. I look forward to many more shows from this young cast!

Wayne Twp. — A panel of four experts recently appeared before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Those of you who paid attention in your science classes will be interested to learn that when Rep. Doug LaMalfa asked them what percentage of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide, these “experts” confessed they didn’t know! When invited to guess, their responses ranged from 5% to 8%. Those who continue to support the full Biden administration agenda ranging from climate change policy to mutilation of children to killing babies might want to spend less time promoting the myth of manmade global warming and more time contemplating the possibility of their own eternal warming.

Huntingdon — Every country has mentally ill people, so, please, do not blame mental illness for this country’s prolific gun violence. Many other countries have universal healthcare that provides access to all healthcare without having to deplete one’s life savings or being blocked from access due to lack of resources. Second, other countries do not worship their traitors. The Second Amendment is an homage to those reprehensible slaveholders who eventually took up arms to topple this country. Third, other countries are not beholden to gun lobbies. They have enacted gun laws and regulations to curb violence. In short, other countries deal effectively with their gun violence issues instead of just offering thoughts and prayers.

Todd — Thanks so much to the Friends of Trough Creek State Park group for all of the improvements in the park and campgrounds. Well done! The park road that leads to the beautiful park for camping, hiking and fishing is awful! The Department of Forestry or Park Service need to work on the roads, especially Cassville Road, so that the area citizens can enjoy the park.”

Three Springs — Parents of SHC sports, there seems to be a problem with practicing with your child at home. You might need to get permission from the school board.

Huntingdon — There are so many scams going on right now. Scammers reach out via telephone, text message, email and social media. In all cases, they’re trying to obtain personal information so they can cheat you. The messages look like they are from Amazon, Verizon, Social Security, a bank or some other official business. They provide links and/or phone numbers for the unsuspecting victim to contact. In reality, companies that you do business with will contact you by U.S. mail if there is an issue. Be sure you have current login accounts to your banks and business partners and when you get such a scamming contact, login and check to see if there are any messages. Then call the number given on the official website and check with them directly. Never provide personal information unless you are sure you know who you are talking to.

Huntingdon — The fact is that the majority of the time there are allegations of sexual abuse, the accused are family members, close family friends, trusted community leaders, politicians or members of the clergy. Very seldom have I seen a report of abuse in which a drag queen, transvestite or other member of the LBGTQIA community was the accused. It’s convenient to blame people who live lifestyles that you don’t agree with of hypothetical crimes, but in reality. you better have a close eye on that friendly neighbor from down the street or that sketchy cousin who drinks too much and has been hanging around a little too often. Sadly, it’s most often trusted adults who betray that trust, not complete strangers in a public toilet or at a stage show who you should be worried about.

Huntingdon — Graphic warning (minus the graphics): In 1955, Mamie Bradley insisted on an open casket funeral for her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, after he had been brutally beaten and mutilated for allegedly flirting with a white woman in Mississippi. Mamie wanted the entire world to see what racism and lies had done to her son, and her decision was a major catalyst for the civil rights movement. It pains me to say this, but fast forward 68 years to 2023 (minus the graphics): Will it take a grieving parent publishing a photo of a mutilated child with his or her small face blown off in a mass shooting in order to catalyze gun safety legislation? We’re 121 days into 2023, and 13,900 people have already been killed in mass shootings. Clearly, thoughts and prayers are not working.

Hesston — Will there be any information printed and available prior to the primary elections about the positions and ideas of each individual running for office? We would like to know and understand the individuals we are voting for.

Mount Union — To the MUASD board, you should all be ashamed of ourselves for allowing this administrator to run our school district into the ground, and you have done nothing to stop it. You have allowed her to be you have a principal to work around our students who was charged with two DUIs, in which one resulted in serious injury to another person. You allowed a guidance counselor to resign instead of being fired for having sex with a student, you have allowed countless teachers and staff to leave our district because you don’t want to fire an administrator who bullies her staff instead of trying to work with them, just because she has credentials behind her name does not mean she can do the job. I hope that you are all replaced in the election.
– — — — –
Wayne Twp. — As a taxpayer of the MUASD, I would like to know where all the money has gone and why there have been no financial reports. You, Dr. Smith, have said you have saved our district money, but the district is now on a spending freeze. Our school district is being run into the ground, with some of the lowest scores in the state. School board, wake up and look around at what is going on. Dr. Smith works for you, and you are supposed to work for our students, but you have allowed a bully to tell you what to do. You are puppets to an administrator who has destroyed our district. Mount Union taxpayers, we need change, before it’s too late.

Mapleton — We’ll never know whether it’s just a rumor or if membership in either the Oath Keepers or Proud Boys was contingent on graduating in the lower fifth of their high school class or dropping out, but we do know hundreds of members of both groups will have long, court-mandated opportunities to socialize behind bars after being convicted of seditious conspiracy for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Most were simply gullible, and seem to have believed they were part of “Trump’s Army,” without giving serious thought to the notion that they were being lied to. As we learned recently from one of Dominion’s lawyers, “Lies have consequences.” Democracy prevailed in locking up those who broke a variety of laws by interfering with the electoral process.

Huntingdon Co. — Everyone in Huntingdon County needs to be on board to clean up the mess radical liberals have created and we need to start within our own backyard. The Democrats are on a conquest for power at the expense of wrecking our nation. This is pure satanic. I call it satanic because if you take a step back to evaluate everything that has been going on, we see a society of spitefulness, diabolical and blasphemy brought on by the Democrat Party. They make no apologies, instead they are arrogant, defiant and nasty. To remove cancer, you have to cut all of it out, otherwise it just keeps coming back. Same way with removing all liberals from their leadership positions. It’s obvious liberals cannot make right decisions. Who would ever think our children would be under attack, women being degraded and the unity of man and women desecrated by a transsexual cult.
– — — — –
Huntingdon Co. — Trump, Trump he’s our man. Biden couldn’t help us, but Trump surely can. If you’re a liberal, you know by now the sickness they carry makes one nasty and a clown. Ra, Ra, chant with me, say, “MAGA’s great” you’ll feel great and free. MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, ever so loud. The more you say it, that frown turns around. Push it back, shove it back, stop it now, abortion is murder, life’s for everyone now. That’s the way! That’s the way! You’ve got it. Now your godless thinking starts to clear up now. Unify, signify, pull together now, the star-spangled plays, you’re in harmony now. Dictator, Darth Vader evilness they share with Biden’s big government theirs much to compare. Say MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, ever so proud. Trump’s the man, yes he can, support him now! Note: encouragement for any liberal who does have a conscience and isn’t brainwashed.

Taylor Highlands, Huntingdon — When are we going to have street drains installed like the rest of the borough for storm water management?

Porter Twp. — Once again, Congressional Republicans can’t do their job. They’re about holding something hostage and revenge. That’s it, those are their priorities. To heck with America, spoiled fat cats first. Meanwhile, Trump’s flunks are rolling and flipping like dogs and burgers on a grill, but I smell rico cookin’ down in Georgia. Better watch him, Moscow’s calling.

Mapleton — Some moron claims being against tax increases is being a moron. Unless at war, the government never needs a tax-rate increase. The government already gets tax increases every time we get pay raises and earnings increases. As we, the backbone of this nation, already are, government needs forced to function within their income. Do that, and write fair tax-everyone-the-same laws, we’d need even less IRS agents. Do that, and the IRS wouldn’t be able to sway elections. Thus, the IRS’s only job would be counting money, not choosing which party or who gets special tax breaks, and which party or who doesn’t. One more thing, if Tucker Carlson was fired for lying, all the Democrats in government and all the liberal media talking heads would’ve been fired decades ago, and a real president would be president instead of a feeble-minded puppet.

Henderson Twp. — Well, the left is using the tragedies of the recent events to push their gun agenda, anti Second Amendment. You know, it’s constitution. It doesn’t make a difference. It’s not needed now. They wanna make sure the public can’t defend themselves. You take away the guns, only the criminals will have the guns and there aren’t enough police or military to defend us from a bad guy with a gun. A bad guy with a gun, no matter what, they will get through. The question is, how many will he take with him.

Huntingdon Co. — The networks would not show the video of the May 6 shooting in Texas because one of the victims was 5 years old and he was literally blown apart. Put that picture on every billboard in the country, plus the tweet from Gov. Abbott in 2020 that he was embarrassed Texas was No. 2 in gun sales, and he hoped Texans would stand up and buy more guns. He got his wish.
– — — — –
Dublin Twp. — During Trump’s rape trial, you know the one where he didn’t show up and said that E. Jean Carroll was not his type, was shown a photo and confused his wife with E. Jean Carroll. That’s right, Trump thought that a photo of his wife was actually a photo of E. Jean Carroll. I can understand Trump being confused. When 26 women accuse you of sexual assault, you’re bound to get a few mixed up. Then, he went on and double downed on if you’re a star, you can sexually assault women talk. It is no wonder why Trump’s attorneys would not let him testify because he is so stupid. And you think this guy should be president again.

Huntingdon Co. — The government in control right now wants us to have a cashless society. Number one to control our money and investments. Number two to follow our spending.

Mount Union — Could you tell me why Mount Union Area High School doesn’t play sports on the weekends? They have a lot of rain outs and what not, but on Saturdays they don’t make up any of the games. They don’t even play or anything like that. And also, how many weight rooms do we need down at Mount Union? They have one down there at the field house and they have one there at the high school and I know the other guy at the fitness place, he said they could use those. Why do we have at least two weight rooms at the high school? We don’t need it. Every year, the visiting football team has to dress up there at the locker room at the high school, which means you have to hire a janitor to come in there and clean up after they get done.
– — — — –
Huntingdon — May 6, new mass shooting, thoughts and prayers and it’s too soon after this latest tragedy to talk about solution. Too soon. So when then? Apparently never, as we watch each week end with the murder of a child.

Miller Twp. — I see where the Game Commission is spending money on reintroducing the Marten, and of course tore down a good building and putting up a bigger and better. Maybe they should be spending some of that money on helping the landowners fight the invasive species of Multiflora rose and Russian Olive that the Game Commission put out years ago. And don’t tell me they didn’t disperse these invasive plants, because as a Boy Scout I helped plant them that the Game Commission provided to us. If nothing is done about these invasive species, they could eventually take over our forests and any vacant land not maintained.

Donation — Now that the Proud Boys leaders and coconspirators have been convicted, their orange-haired chief motivator should soon follow. When an influential speaker, such as the President of the United States, encourages a large group of radical thugs dressed in combat gear to break the law, he should be held responsible for the consequences which included death and severe injuries. Trump for jail 2023. Long overdue.

Shirley Twp. — Nothing like sitting out on a Saturday afternoon, nice and quiet, Oh, oops, you hear at dog bark all Saturday afternoon. Where are the families at? That small dog what it looked like and heard was out all Saturday afternoon and barking. Were the parents or family home or not? And also Hartman Village, you’re fixing it up. Why isn’t the housing authority throwing in some money also. That’s where that park is down there. They’re the ones who use it. They’re the ones destroying it. People come down there, sit there in the parking lot, do their drugs, smoke their 40s and whatever else they do there. You always have to get a grant to fix these parks up, what about fixing up the middle school parking lot up there?

Mount Union — Whatever happened to the railroad car company that was going to bring all these jobs to Mount Union, moving these railroad cars here and repairing them? I haven’t seen a railroad car on these tracks since last year.

Mount Union — This is to the councilwoman from Mount Union who came back after months of not coming to the meeting due to health issues. The first thing you do is complain that nobody called to check on you. Don’t you think you should have let them know that you won’t be in for while? They are not mind readers. Then you complained about being released from the water authority. You really should be thanking council that they didn’t follow the water authority’s decision to get you off of council. As far as nobody calling you, what’s that tell you?

Smithfield — I can’t believe the Democratic Party is no different than a communist party. No chance to debate Biden. It’s him and you will vote for him. No one else.
– — — — –
Smithfield — Joe Biden has issued 113 executive orders so far since he took office, more than any president ever. That includes all of our wars. Biden has added 58 new cabinet departments and another thing is the IRS to purchase 10 million in ammo and pistols, AR15s and other tactical weapons that has already been done. Why does the IRS need tactical weapons? Everything Biden has done has hurt America and the taxpayers.
– — — — –
Huntingdon — Does anyone really think Biden is a mentally fit to lead our country? et’s keep praying that he leaves the office soon. Jill has to be blind or so full of power that she doesn’t see his developing senility. God bless America.
– — — — –
Hopewell Twp. — I’m glad I’m a Democrat because I can believe in abortion, killing babies, and I can believe the guns, not the people with the guns, kill people and like I really think that I believe that the news media does increase some of the things because they don’t think we’re smart enough to understand them.

Huntingdon — I’d like to thank all the Democrats for voting Fetterman in. He’s doing a great job.

Huntingdon — What is wrong with the street sweeper and the cops? People on this street, everyone got tickets and the others that weren’t parking there. Everyone, everyone, everyone got a ticket. If one’s gonna get, they all ought to get.

Mount Union — I agree with the one borough council member that it’s a waste of money to spend all that grant money on Diven Park because all the kids from Hartman Village do is break glass on the court and tear the tennis net apart.
– — — — –
Mount Union — I think it’s outrageous that the borough council will take that grant money and spend it on a park that the kids continue to destroy instead of fixing up the streets in Mount Union.
– — — — –
Huntingdon — I am shocked about the of the places that are being robbed, money being stolen. I think it’s about time names get published. We all want to know who’s this on this because it’s our money, our funds that keep these places going.

Porter Twp. — Are we living in never never land or what? Our president appears to be the head of a major crime syndicate. The vice president, known as the border czar, can’t find the border. The jerk in charge of the border says we’re in control but tons of drugs and millions of people are coming across. The transportation secretary declares highways are racist. The guy who wore lipstick who was in charge of nuclear waste is a luggage thief. With all of her education and experience, the woman put on the Supreme Court couldn’t define what a woman is. Will she recuse herself in any case involving women, not knowing who or what they are? The DA in New York City trying to find a crime against Trump is a real gem. Murders, felons, rapists go free in his city while he concentrates on fulfilling his campaign promise — get Trump.
