Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversati­on.

Our country is turning into only being for and about foreigners, illegal immigrants, dreamers and refugees. How can the government or the president do that to the American citizens? They pay no taxes only the American citizens do. I think we should change America to a foreign land. That makes more sense.

I’d like to know what’s going on with the Pottstown Post Office. Our mail has been getting later and later every day. On Monday it came at 5:45 p.m. I was making letters out to put in the mail box on Tuesday and he came at 2:10 p.m. and so I didn’t get them out there. Now what’s going on? Why can’t they get a better system than that? They’re raising the price of postage and all they’re doing is catering to these mass mailings giving them cheaper postage.

I send this comment to the Jay Millers and the Clark Kents. Their biggest problem with Donald Trump is very simply Trump beat Clinton at Clinton’s own game. This will drive an uneducated Democrat insane. John Q. Public

How can voters continue to support the dysfunctio­nal President Donald Trump who from his own mouth has proven himself not once but time and time again to be a colossal liar, a bully, a sexist, a braggart and a racist? A man who time and time again has belittled his own country in the eyes of the world, alienated our allies and leaves Americans with a diminished sense of pride. Frattbak

Klein Transporta­tion had the best trip Sunday and Monday to the Gaylord Hotel in Washington, D.C. It was just as much fun as going to Disney and it is absolutely a beautiful place. The ice show they have is excellent, just excellent. Janice Hull

Someone out there seems to dislike what Jay Miller has to say in Sound Off. Well let me put it this way. That’s what Sound Off is for, whether you agree with the comments or not. Sometimes the truth hurts and the First Amendment applies to all Americans not just the ones who made the mistake of voting for Donald Trump.

A Manatawny Village resident here again. The subject this time is dog poop in my yard. I even bought a sign that says “No dog pooping.” I think I have an idea who it is but I wish I could catch him on camera. If you can’t walk the dog, at least pick up his poop.

Can anyone tell me what happened to Ed Hanna of 69 News, the weather channel? Where is he?

I’m so amazed to see how losing an election can make the weakminded turn more childish than children, try one pathetic attempt after another repeatedly to try to bully him out of his rightful position, then they have the nerve to call him a bully. Do you really believe the rest of America isn’t laughing at your little hissy fits? Trump needs to open up Hillary and Obama’s can of worms and pull the wrath on them. That will make quite a few mouths close.

When President Obama took office the stock market was at 7,949 and when he left it was 19,732, a gain of 11,783. On jobs for Trump during the first seven months was an increase of 1,189,000. For President Obama for his last seven months was an increase of 1,375,000. Just the facts folks. The Fact Checker

JT, what’s your problem? All season long the Eagles have been fantastic. Did you and your cronies call in and say “nice job way to go?” No, not a word. As soon as Carson Wentz goes down you’re saying “I told you they’re not going anywhere.” You home team haters make me sick. You’re the ones who give the Philly area a bad name. Were you born with hate in your heart or did you have to work at it? Find something positive to do with your life.

Does anybody know where we can make pet donations for the holidays in the Pottstown area and what type of products would they be needing? If someone could please call in and give me that informatio­n I’d appreciate it.

Thank you Doug Jones for restoring courtesy and decency to American politics. The women of America are behind you. Jay Miller

I hear that Gov. Wolf is acting like a real Democrat and threatenin­g to veto a bill to make it harder to kill unborn children. Well all I can say is shame on him for not respecting the sanctity of life. I didn’t vote for him and I’m ashamed that he’s my governor.

The world is in trouble when you can’t trust a minister from the church who steals and lies to you.
