With all the problems in Pottstown what do they do? They make fire pits legal. How pathetic. Pollute more of the air.

Went to the doctors the other day and he said I needed to get a colonoscop­y and I asked him since I was covered by ObamaCare if I had to go to the hospital to have the procedure done? He said “No you can have it done in the comfort of your own home, it’s cheaper.” I said “Wow, how does that work?” He said “Call RotoRooter for an appointmen­t.”

We’re going to have more shootings like that in Washington because Donald Trump made it easier for mentally ill people to get permits to carry guns, buy guns, when he signed legislatio­n. So expect more of that to come from people like that who are off.

My bride claims I’m a pessimist just like a lot of other people so I went to a meeting of the Pessimists Club. Just as I thought the room was half empty.

In Boyertown across from the BB&T Bank is a vegan restaurant, I think it’s called Firefly Café. They say it’s very, very good for the person in Pottstown who’s looking for a vegan place.

Verizon, I pay for a service through you as a customer. I want you to figure out where these credit cards scammers are calling from with a fake number and you need to come up with a system that deletes that number from contacting people. This is how you help to stop scams. These scammers call me 50 times a day and they have fake phone numbers. How can they call my phone with a number that doesn’t exist? You’re the phone company, stop this stuff from going on.

The prime minister of Australia mocked President Trump about stuff he was saying. Remember back when they were talking together and he said Trump hung up on him? Well he just mocked him in a three-minute interview on one of the TV shows and it made him look pretty bad. So much for the world thinking we’re not a bunch of clowns.

Bob from Phoenixvil­le, you can go back to sleep. The only threat to America is disgruntle­d voters who can’t move on.

On America’s Flag Day I saw a great ceremony welcoming new citizens to the United States. I was extremely happy to see the diversific­ation and I welcome them with open arms and an open heart so they will help improve this country even more. Thank you for your hard work and we welcome you.

Recently I called in about a mini-landfill, sort of, on Levengood Road in Pottsgrove and sure enough the other day I went through there again and someone has done a marvellous job of clearing up and cleaning up all the debris and whatever else was there. Thank you whoever did this. It certainly looks better and it’s safer to travel for us who have to use that road. Again thank you and good luck.

Attention if anyone especially if you are associated with the Pottstown Health and Wellness wants beautiful free tomato plants for Father’s Day please call 610-3238255. Have a great Father’s Day.

People are still talking about President Obama’s birth certificat­e? They showed it on every station even Bill O’Reilly’s show when he was still employed by Fox News. More fake news by Trump.

For LM, obviously you are the one who is blind along with Martha too. Also for the person wanting them to no longer build townhomes and to start building businesses, building homes does create jobs. You need to take your blinders off.

Just Saying

My vocabulary is devoid of the word deplorable. Jay Miller has taken ownership. Maybe by using its synonym it may produce renewed interest from Sound Off readers.

I’m glad to see the baseball game in Washington, D.C. between the Republican­s and the Democrats went on as planned. It’s a good cause, it goes for charities and they’ve been doing this for decades. So at least the two parties got together and showed a little unity. Since we know how badly they do their jobs in Washington maybe they can keep their baseball team going together and play another exhibition game against the Phillies because we know they’ll probably beat them.
