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

Trump’s recent rallies are hardly watched. Fox News has stopped televising them. So what does Trump do to get on TV? He brings in Kanye West to the White House for a 10-minute rant. I watched the whole thing. It was terrible what he was trying to say. Then Trump made the comment that he has a lot of African American followers especially athletes. Do you think he means the NFL? I don’t think so.

Lady Di and Martha, according to your comments, neither one of you seems to have a problem with sexual assault as long as it’s done by a Republican. As for your claims of innocent until proven guilty what about the Republican­s’ cries of “Lock her up, lock her up?” You keep trying to have it both ways but it’s not working out for you.

I would also like to comment about the car shows they have in Pottstown throughout the summer. Someone commented that they don’t believe they should have them in Pottstown since they got rid of the cruising. I totally agree with that. Why would you give something back like this when they asked you to get out of town? It goes hand in hand the car show and cruising. I wouldn’t have it in Pottstown, they don’t deserve it.

I hope nothing happens to Kanye West after his appearance at the White House on Thursday. He really spoke out about African Americans who constantly vote Democrat and get nothing for doing it especially the ones who vote in the inner cities. Then on some of the newscasts like CNN and MSNBC they really let him have it especially the African American commentato­rs. As they say they’re not allowed to speak out but he did it, good for him. —JT

Please do not support Pennsylvan­ia Senate Bill 652. The refusal to allow free speech regarding pipeline sites is part of the paranoia promoted by the White House.

This is a sweet shout-out to the woman who works through the Phoenixvil­le Hospital and the PMA Associates. Her name is Terry D. and she has been a real angel in terms of helping me acquire services and medical attention for my friend who has Alzheimers. She’s wonderful, she moves mountains and she deserves all the credit that we can get her. So bless you Terry, you’re an angel.

I’m just sick and tired of these people that call in about Democrats, Republican­s, presidents, whatever. They have nothing ever good to say. I’m so sick and tired of it. Could they just once call in and say something happy, just once? Forget about politician­s, forget about it right now. Can’t they say what a beautiful day it is today or how nice something is? I’d like to see more of that in Sound Off.

I just heard Trump say to lock her up, this was about Nancy Pelosi. The other night it was Dianne Feinstein and Hillary Clinton. I guess they’re going to lock all the women up. I hope the women lock him up on election day.

Melania Trump our first lady of the United States of America gave a great interview to CBS. She’s intelligen­t, dignified, elegant and beautiful. Her motto is “Be best, believe in yourself.”

I just read in The Mercury that the police are going to target aggressive drivers. That’s fine but I wish they would target the people who drive on rainy days without their lights on too. You never see a car being pulled over for that. Think about it, on a cloudy, dark, rainy day without lights on and depending on the color of the car you can hardly see it coming.

Why would Trump sell arms to Saudi Arabia only to have them use them against us, only to create jobs in the U.S.? —Dummy

I don’t want to come off divisive. The anger and hatred destroys the one who carries it. This isn’t a battle over Washington. It is a battle over eternity. We have always had winners and losers in elections. I just know that all this anarchy is not normal but then again I do know where the real battle stands. God bless us all. —Lady Di

Antifa, or anti-fascist, is a mob for the Democratic Party. They deny free speech at colleges, destroy properties and attack conservati­ves in restaurant­s and elevators while wearing black headgear covering their face. Now you tell me who are the fascists? The Democratic mob are the fascists.

This is for the person who called in looking for community service. The Carousel on King Street does that type of thing. Thanks and good luck to you.
