If Pottstown wanted to be serious about saving money they would get rid of half the PART buses. I saw four PART buses just sitting and they’re all just about empty. What a waste.

Goodbye Tyson Foods. Tyson Foods eliminated Labor Day to show support for their 700 Muslim employees working in Shelby County, Tennessee. Labor Day is eliminated in favor of Muslim holiday the last day of Ramadan. Muslims are flocking to Tennessee according to the government Census Bureau of 2010. Google this people. 500 Miler

I see that the unemployme­nt rate has hit an all-time low in the last 16 years. Thank you President Trump for putting the unemployme­nt rate down to 4.3 percent, the lowest it’s been in 16 years.

This is for the New Hanover zoning officer. We have left numerous messages for you to return calls and you never return them. I don’t know any other way to get in touch with you. I leave messages constantly at the township building. So if there’s any way that you can be reached please put it in the paper because we sure as heck can’t reach you. We leave our phone number and you never return our calls and you’re never in the office according to the secretary. Please Return The Call

Hawaiian Punch Party, I’m calling you out. How has Donald Trump made more money now than he has before he was president when he’s not even taking the crappy pay that they give a president? Are you trying to say he’s doing something illegal and where are you getting your informatio­n from? Calling you out on this. Come on, put something back in Sound Off that explains your position because I don’t believe you have one.

Trump’s son and sonin-law admitted they met with a Russian lawyer during the campaign. Trump’s son was promised dirt on Hillary Clinton and informatio­n helpful to the campaign. They changed their stories three times. Collusion? This is just one piece of the story. There are more players. Michael Flynn, Trump’s ex-security advisor will put Donald down the river without a paddle. DP

Hawaiian Punch Party, do you ever see how much the president makes? Check it out.

All this talk about disciplini­ng kids today, I can give you one good way to discipline them. Take all the electronic­s away from them or the car away from them and see what happens. Jay Miller

Why do Democrats hate Trump more than they love America? Look at your stock accounts, retirement funds; they are making money. Illegals are being stopped entering our country, refugees from hateful countries are not streaming in. Democrats want open borders. Do you want our country overrun like European countries with misfits ruining their customs? I like my country, our freedom and customs. We need legal educated immigrants not low life uneducated masses.

This is to Jim Tribbett. You talk about Civil War memorials. You might not be prejudiced or bigoted but the liberals and the far left are when it comes to American history that they don’t like.

The person complainin­g about the term “global warming” needs to understand that it is not based on conditions in one area but rather a worldwide average which is indeed rising steadily. This has resulted in the polar ice cap’s melting causing increases in ocean level in return resulting in flooding in some coastal areas in the U.S. and elsewhere. Global warming is real.

We have a lot of people saying that President Trump is not fit to be president. I’d like to know where these people have been for the past eight years before President Trump. If he’s not fit to be president what about the one previous to him? Everything has seemed to go backwards in the years that he was in there back 40 or 50 years especially in the race department.

I see they’re getting ready to take care of the bridge on King Street, replace that. How about let’s fix the new bridge near the college, the joint there. Could they fix that please?

Has it occurred to any of his critics that Donald Trump ran for president to make America great again and correct our country from the destructiv­e path of socialism that we were on? It should be obvious from his overwhelmi­ng victory, a winning 98 percent of all the counties in the United States while Hillary won only 2 percent. I’d say total America had spoken. We should listen. Truth Be Told

For the person who doesn’t like my comment about the whiners, evidently I hit a nerve or better yet the truth. Fact

The apple doesn’t drop far from the tree. Lock them up, lock them up, including the son-in-law.
