I’d like to make a comment about taking down Confederate statues and even Frank Rizzo’s in Philadelphia. It’s truly a sin the way they’re trying to destroy history and just because of a few people who are whining about what might have happened in the past. That’s just total foolishness. What are they going to do next — destroy Monticello for Jefferson and Mount Vernon for George Washington because they had slaves? They need to get over this and stop this nonsense.
Why would you want to move into Pottstown? Number one, because of all these wonderful bike lanes nobody’s going to use or number two for free food, free clothes, free backpacks, free haircuts, free Section 8 rents destroying neighborhoods? So I guess this is a question for Mr. Weand. Why would you move to Pottstown, which reason?
Brian Williams of NBC admitted on a prime time broadcast that “Our job is to scare people to death over North Korea.”
I was reading in Sound Off where they think that President Trump averted this North Korean missile launch that they’ve been threatening to do for a years. The only thing is yeah he didn’t launch them, so what? He never launched them under past presidents either because he knows better. The whole problem is he is still developing missiles. So what has Trump accomplished? Nothing.
To 500 Miler, the caller who wondered where protesters get their money from, they are largely subsidized by billionaire leftist hypocrite, George Soros. Soros is an extreme critic of capitalism and free enterprise, the very systems that enabled him to become a billionaire in the first place. Mustang Jackie
I see where a so-called reverend wants to take the Jefferson Memorial down in Washington, D.C., because it offends him and another socalled reverend in Chicago wants to change the name of Washington Park because Washington owned slaves. This is what happens when the liberals try to change history.
When Kenneth Stampp wrote “The Peculiar Institution,” he characterized the plantation environment as one of subsistence living, deplorable housing, broken families, chronic violence and nihilism. The often-played “race card” is a deflection from the reality that cities controlled by Democrats for decades are indistinguishable from plantations. Mark Furlong
I want to give a shoutout to all the organizers of the unity gatherings. That is the only thing that will unite and heal our country. Only love will defeat hate. Light always outshines the darkness. Thank you again. God bless us all. Lady Di
What is going on with property tax reform, does anybody know? I guess this is a lost cause, never hear anything anymore. Please the seniors need some help. Harrisburg is doing nothing. Keep calling your representative. Does anybody have these numbers? A Senior
George Soros, the backer of Hillary, was behind the Charlottesville event. His MO is to hire people to look like Republicans and create havoc. The media goes along with the plan. It’s very hard to tell who’s on first and what’s on second.
To Lady Di, add one more — George Soros, the funder, the money man — and you have it 100 percent right. And Mr. President, you were not two days late, you got the facts correct and released them exactly when they should have been unlike the last president who would not wait to stick his two cents worth onto his shoe and shove it in his own mouth. And Al, your insight is correct and very excellent.
The thing that perhaps struck me the most about Trump’s despicable ugly meltdown was when he sided with the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis and when an overanxious journalist tried to interrupt him and Trump shot back “Wait a minute, I’m not finished, I’m not finished.” Oh yes you are Donald, you are finished.
I never saw so much chaos in Washington — people resigning, quitting or being fired. What a domino effect. Van Morrison
Donald Trump has a scheduled rally in Phoenix, Arizona. The mayor of Phoenix has asked the president not to bring his hate to Phoenix. Trump wants to pardon convicted sheriff Joe Arpaio and clear his record for terrorizing thousands of people of color. What message does that say to the people who thrive on hate and
Tearing down all these monuments and so forth is ridiculous. When is it going to stop? You might as well go into every government building in this country and other buildings where George Washington’s picture hangs and remove those while you’re in the process. And what about the Declaration of Independence, all the names on there signed by people who owned slaves and so forth? I guess that might as well just be thrown out the window too. After all it’s just a piece of paper. Fact
