The dishonest media under-reports what the left does and exaggerate­s what the right does. Who loots, burns down buildings and causes violence? The left. Who burns police cars? The left. Who tries to shut down bridges and tunnels and blocks roads? The left. Who tries to stifle free speech on college campuses? The left. The left is a bigger threat to the United States of America and the Constituti­on than 500 whites supremacis­ts in Virginia. America better wake up.

To all you liberals still crying because your candidate lost and now saying our great president is racist, all I have to ask you is do you remember who Obama’s preacher was? That’s right Jeremiah Wright. Just look this guy up. Put that in your last place trophy case with all the fake news who never gave this a second look. Eight years baby.

To the person who called in about the KKK rally in Boyertown, do not associate all those who live in the Boyertown Area with the KKK. We all want peace. Why would you open up that can of worms?

To Heinzie in Phoenixvil­le, way to go. I agree with you 100 percent.

There is a saying that birds of a feather flock together, and liars and cheaters flock together.

On Aug. 14 I had cataract surgery done at PMMC and I’d just like to thank the surgical team for helping me out. They did an excellent job. They were serious but they were also humorous. This is the big guy that they had to use the lift on to get him out of the chair so I’d like to thank them for their help. Bob

I was watching a TV show on slavery in America and it said one of the first if not the first slave owner in America was a black man that bought another black man. Also that in Africa it was the Africans selling the Africans into slavery to the traders who then sold them to the Dutch traders and then to America but we never hear about that. I never even heard that at the time when they did teach American history.

I am protesting the existence of the traffic lights. I find it offensive that the use of red and yellow have racist overtones. Don’t use green either because it represents the rich and their cash dollars. Let’s take traffic lights down immediatel­y.

This is to the person who keeps saying that Clinton supplied uranium to North Korea. That is so debunked it makes me laugh. Google it sometime and educate yourself.

How is it in Montgomery County one person gets 15 months in jail for injuring a 5-year-old child while a state cop while drunk kills a 21-year-old woman and only gets six months? Tell me how this works.

I’ve got to stop saying “How stupid can you be?” Too many people are taking it as a challenge. Grizz

Please stop taking down our historical statues. They are part of our history. America first. Grow up.

I see in Sound Off once in awhile they’re blaming Obama for some of this carrying on that was going on. He should be blamed for most of it because most of this started before Trump was even in office.

Commenting about females and males too who wear perfume and cologne in close areas like church and theaters. It makes people around them sick and headachy. Please please be considerat­e and lighten the dose.

Stop the madness. Please enough with the special reports right in the middle of my story. Enough is enough. The 6 p.m. news, the evening news, is a good enough time.

Richard Cohen’s commentary on the opinion page should have been on the front page on how to settle the business of the statues and monuments of our country. A Patriot And A Former Soldier

To the Pottstown Streets Department, please put Wilson Street in the 200 block from Charlotte to Hanover streets at the top of your list for repaving. It has been dug up quite a bit and needs to be smoothed out, a heavily traveled street. Wally

I was just wondering when buildings and inspection­s are doing the follow-ups of the reports they gave in the North End over a week and a half ago since some things have not changed yet?

People need to stop bashing Donald Trump our president. He is better than the last one we had in there because Obama didn’t do anything for us except make problems.

They ought to take down all the rebel statues. They lost. They surrendere­d. End of the story.

Yes Obama divided the United States of America. Wake up Americans before it’s too late. God bless America.
