I’m calling in regards to the Sound Off about Pottstown and why everything is dying. I totally agree but I have to admit, myself I’m not interested in that Thursday night farm market but what I think puts a smile on people’s faces is that man and woman dancing to the DJ’s music. They make it out to be fun and enjoyable and it gets other people to laugh and smile. Keep it up.

Keep on House Bill 76. Haven’t heard anything lately. We desperatel­y need property tax relief. Seniors are hurting, can’t depend on Tim Hennessey for any help. Vote him out. Call our other representa­tives.

For Pete’s sake my eyes are wide open and see clearly. Trump is no eloquent speaker but his heart is to bring our country back to what it once was, not the division, hatred and destructio­n that we received from our last administra­tion. This whole world is in troubling times and I know who is truly in control of all things — God. I pray you know him too. Lady Di

Does anybody know what happened to the Edgewood Elementary School? Did the borough sell that? If they did I hope they didn’t sell it to The Hill School. Please we need the money.

Thank you to the kind lady behind me in the checkout lane who paid my bill at the Upland Square Giant recently. That was very nice of you. Ron

I see where the mainstream media is all upset over Vice President Pence leaving a football game because of the players that took a knee. They are complainin­g about the cost but it was OK when the first lady Michelle Obama used to go to talk shows at night and during the day and on vacation in Europe with her daughters but there were no complaints then.

My comment goes out to Sanatoga Paul Revere. Black Lives Matter is not a terrorist group. The KKK and neo-Nazis are and they have shown it in the past by killing people and burning churches in the name of white supremacis­ts. Black Lives Matter have not killed anyone and they only want the right that all Americans are born into — freedom of speech. Facts Matter

I was shocked to learn that a gun parts manufactur­er was given permission to market a bump stock back in 2010 by the ATF. You can’t fix stupid.

I’d like to congratula­te the commission­ers in South Coventry, North Coventry, East Coventry for preserving your land. The other day there was a wonderful story about 10 acres of historical civil war property that was preserved. I just wish that the commission­ers in Upper Pottsgrove, Lower Pottsgrove, Boyertown, Spring-Ford, etc. would have the same dedication to saving land instead of taxing us out of our houses with more developmen­t.

Go ahead and watch your NFL games, go kneel wherever you wish in your yard preferably in a fresh surprise from a local dog but don’t shove your propaganda down my cable-paying throat if I don’t share your views or opinions. You probably somehow get free cable right? Also I doubt Trump cares for you either.

One day after the fires in California and they’ve already received more attention from the whack job administra­tion than Puerto Rico has and the whole deal with this hurricane. He’s sick and a sad excuse for a president.

To the person wondering who won “America’s Got Talent,” the final was on about a month ago. The 12-year-old girl who was the ventriloqu­ist won.

Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, has announced that if any of his players take a knee during the national anthem they will not play in that game. The Cowboys are the first to take any action against any player. The Cowboys are the greatest.

Secretary of State Tillerson after a meeting with cabinet officials referred to Donald Trump as a moron. The reason being is Trump asked six times why we couldn’t use nuclear power. Then he called for an increase in nuclear bombs. Trump does not care if he destroys a part of our world. He listens more to his son-in-law and the generals because he believes he knows more than them. DP

It’s really sad that you can’t put any decoration­s out in your yard. Every morning the school kids walk by and slowly my decoration­s are disappeari­ng. If you notice that your child is coming home with a decoration or item that you know you didn’t buy please return it to Brunish’s. I’m missing a hanging ghoul and a witch’s hand.

Now that I’m almost 70 I realize getting old has been easy. Having fun at it is the real trick. Time is precious my friends, waste it wisely.
