We reserve the right to revise or reject any message.<\/p>\n<p>Comrade Bernie has been summoned to the White House by wanna-be emperor nobama. I wonder if he\u2019ll be forced to bow down. Pressure will now be applied by the Democrat elites. The fix is in; poor Bernie just doesn\u2019t get it. I hope Bernie does not capitulate and fights on against crooked Hillary. Go Bernie go!<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Follow the news. Republican Donald Trump says he doesn\u2019t like the media or journalists. Is it because they\u2019re not reporting the facts that he is a deadbeat, refuses to pay his bills, and takes advantage of the little guy who works for him. It\u2019s all over the news. You should see USA Today for example.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>I see where Cal Harris got arrested for stalking members of the New York State Police. What a weird person he is.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Did anyone else notice how Friday morning the day was perfect, and there was a crystal clear blue sky? However, shortly planes began crisscrossing the sky leaving their chem trails to smudge up the entire sky. These are not passenger planes. This is our government spewing chemicals into the air supposedly for our good. Does anyone know whom to contact regarding this assault to our health? If so please print that information in the Pennysaver.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to know why the grant that Waverly had went through Tioga County and they gave it to anybody they felt like giving it to. There\u2019s people in Waverly that are getting new work done on their homes, yet they have a brand new car sitting in their driveway. They got a brand new sidewalk not too long ago and they\u2019re giving it to people who didn\u2019t even pay their loans from last time they got the grant. I think someone should check into it.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Political name change. He was once called the Donald, now he\u2019s called deadbeat Donald. Follow that news item on unpaid bills.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Cal Harris apparently is not too bright. If you\u2019re going to threaten someone the State Police are not the ones to threaten. Also, I\u2019ve had a reoccurring dream where Michelle Harris was killed at home by Cal and then taken to the car crusher just above town, placed in the trunk and crushed. No body to be found, pretty simple. All of the Cal defenders, I bet you feel pretty stupid now.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>This I can tell you, the State Department says it will take, get this, 75 years to supply all of the legally ordered Hillary emails. Are they serious or just stupid? These Democrats depend on the stupidity of about 50 percent of the voters who are mentally disabled. Obama wanted to substantially change the United States and he sure has. There is no honor, truth, or even justice any more. Go Trump!<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>A Trump sandwich. How is Donald Trump the Republican nominee going to remake America when he has no idea about the principles, including his big stint as a draft dodger?<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Political prediction. Donald Trump is going to withdraw from the Republican Presidential race. He does not want to have a lifetime legacy as a loser to a woman.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>This election has been a farce. I was talking to an 83-year old friend and I told him I had never seen such rankers in an election. He said he hadn\u2019t either. It\u2019s time they stop this childish bickering and get down to the real issues.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Five million dollars to construct a better road to get to Ely Park so golfers aren\u2019t inconvenienced to get there? Are you kidding me?<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Message to Congressman Reed: Rescind your avid support\u00a0for Donald Trump before we all die.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>You know what surprises me about all the hoopla on gun control, people are not listening. When POTUS said we need tougher laws on people being able to get &#8216;ASSAULT WEAPONS&#8217; that does not mean your hunting rifles, pistols or shotguns. It means &#8216;ASSAULT WEAPONS PERIOD&#8217;. They are too accessible to anyone who can afford one. And if you can&#8217;t pass the required waiting period (for one reason or another), you can always buy one off the street. Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I believe we should have the right to bear arms, especially for our own protection but most of you are just hearing &#8216;he wants to take all our guns away&#8217;. For those of you who think you need an &#8216;ASSAULT WEAPON&#8217; to kill game, just look at the first three letters. I am sorry if anyone gets upset about this but I am going to use my First Amendment rights &#8211; Freedom of Speech. I also am sick and tired of having to be politically correct. Not anymore. I will say what I want, when I want.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>It is really sad for us that we elect such a bunch of clowns to our New York State Legislature that\u00a0have lots of time to enact a bill that will allow pets to be buried with their owners but they do not have time to address the end to the enormous corruption that they have created and continue to create. It does not smell, IT STINKS!<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Being no friend of Hillary Clinton, I had decided to vote for Donald Trump despite some reservations. His reaction to the Orlando shootings has caused me to change my mind. The man is a stark raving lunatic! The world today is in dangerous turmoil and the last thing we need is a leader who is seriously unbalanced.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>I think it is interesting, we are anxious to ban guns and find a way to get around the 2nd Amendment, but we have no problem leaving the borders, especially the southern border, wide open and allowing illegal aliens, which may well include terrorists in with no problem.\u00a0What&#8217;s wrong with this picture?\u00a0Allow terrorists in and remove the ability to defend ones self.\u00a0Yeah, that&#8217;s a logical solution, one that Barack HUSSEIN Nobama AND Hillary subscribe to. And you&#8217;d really vote for Hillary?<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Does it not ever end with Cal Harris? Spoiled little rich boy who&#8217;s going to get even. Let it go!<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Golly. A guy gets lost and can&#8217;t find as address in a 2012 Caddy, which has a factory installed GPS in it? Or maybe the GPS was not working! Really?<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>A fish finder has been found on East Campville Road. It must have fallen out of a boat or truck. It has been there for some time but is still in good shape. If you have lost it and can identify it by brand or model number please let me know, I will have it for you.\u00a0Email me at rhamilton002@stny.rr.com.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Hey, Village of Owego people. Ordinances were made to protect the good people of Owego from the bad actions of the inconsiderate, thoughtless, and indifferent people in the village. If a dog is continually barking and ruining your peace and quiet, or ability to sleep, call OPD! If a dog is running loose and you\u2019re concerned for your safety, call OPD! If neighbors are making fires and smoking up your home, call OPD! I know from experience that ordinances are not enforced unless OPD receives a complaint and has to respond.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m looking for an old style television, no remote is necessary. I will pick up. Call 659-3354. If I\u2019m not home, please leave a message.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Now listen good, when Donald Trump does not let an interviewer have one single word because his mouth is going like a duck. If it looks like a duck and talks like a duck \u2013 it must be Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>When will supposed cat lovers stop blaming car drivers when their cat does not return home. Common sense says to keep them inside as house cats. Please do not risk driver and passenger lives with roaming cats.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for alternatives to vote for in the election instead of Donald Trump, and are thinking about the libertarian candidates, remember candidate William Weld laid off 8,000 workers on the first day as governor of Massachusetts. He had no interest in the middle class, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>My husband and I were at McDonalds on Tuesday, June 14, and a woman gave us money to help pay for our meal. Thank you very much. It was very thoughtful of you and may God bless you.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Now that the river side of the Riverwalk has been cleaned out and looking good, I\u2019m wondering whose responsibility it is for keeping the business side of the Riverwalk cleaned up.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Looks like Donald Trump wants to isolate America every time there is an imaginary threat. Remember how he wanted to close down the borders during the Ebola scare? What does he fear? Donald Trump the Chump.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to make a comment on Kirk Martin\u2019s self-promotion. The truth is he is spending more money than any other district attorney and spending has been increasing on his watch. At least we know we won\u2019t go to jail for a parking ticket.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m calling about the elimination of two jobs in the Owego Police Department. I think it\u2019s awesome that Trustee Morris is willing to pay for the two positions out of her own pocket and pay for everything.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>In May of 1961 President Kennedy promised to put a man on the moon. In May of 2016, President Obama promised to put a man in the women\u2019s restroom. What a leader.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an old truism that you can judge a person by his friends, because Donald Trump keep sinking further and further into the slime of his own creation and remarks. Please remember that Congressman Tom Reed is one of his staunchest supporters. What does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Male cat, Front Street in Owego, gray with white chest, two years old, never been outside. Call 972-3582.<\/p>\n<p>~<\/p>\n<p>Timely political question. Why doesn\u2019t our Congressman Tom Reed reject Trump\u2019s claim that our President Obama supports Isis and Al-Qaeda? Why can\u2019t Congressman Reed refute these absurd claims?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may call the Owego Pennysaver Readers\u2019 Column at (607) 687-2378 24-hours a day, or e-mail comments to readerscolumn@stny.rr.com.
