It’s hard to look at Pottstown during the Christmas season if you’re 50 or older. I remember going downtown as a child and seeing all the wonderful decorations, then going upstairs in the New York Store to see Santa. Then, stopping at one of the five-and-tens to get a banana split. There were so many stores to shop in. Pottstown was where other towns came to shop. Sadly, now it’s all gone. Older people are heartbroken.
Limerick Township has created a special ‘Data Center Overlay’ zone around Evergreen & Lightcap Road (Costco area), and land on Evergreen Road is being marketed for a very large data-center campus. A project is clearly being prepared, but we haven’t found a final, publicly approved construction plan yet. We should pay close attention and ask questions now. A Facebook page for 350 Evergreen Road says the land “will join the 200-acre Data Center Development.”
I found an anonymous entry in Sound Off interesting that said nobody uses cash anymore. Not true, and why would you want to use a credit card and have a 3% or 4% extra charge if you do! Not me! Poor economics!

Satan is clearly working through the entire Democrat Party, every last senator, every single congressman, you maniacs are making it so easy for him. Democrats sold their soul, they know it, we know it, and the village idiots still don’t know it.
Have no fear, Chicagoans, the Mayor of Chicago said once again that the mass shooting at the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony was an isolated incident. Just like the woman who was doused with gasoline and set on fire on the train, and the shootings every weekend, along with the rapes, armed robberies, muggings, burglaries, and assaults. It is obvious that Chicago is safe as can be, and President Trump is wrong – LOL.

President Trump announced last week that he officially struck a deal where Toyota will immediately begin production of its new $14 billion battery manufacturing plant in North Carolina, while committing an additional $10 billion to bolster its U.S. manufacturing over the next five years. Joe Biden fought to let men use women’s bathrooms. See the difference now?

During his 2015 campaign and 1st term, Donald Trump was an offensive, denigrating bully, rude and contemptuous with lies and insults. Now in his 2nd term, he and his fold of folding appointees have divided us while alienating our allies. By pardoning political patrons, giving nepotistic favors, making climate change denials, halting funding for medical research, abandoning farmers, etc., history will rank him as our worst and 2nd worst president.

Just did a little Christmas shopping at the Dollar General and bought gift cards. Even gift cards are dropping in price thanks to President Trump. I was able to buy a bunch of restaurant cards for 20% off the value of the card. That is a great deal.

At long last, Fred Goldman has gotten a measure of justice from the estate of OJ Simpson. OJ Simpson’s estate has been ordered to pay Fred Goldman $58 million plus 30 years of interest in the wrongful death suit of Ron Goldman. How much will be paid is not clear since the estate may not be worth that much. So many lives destroyed by OJ. Too much evil in this world.

I’m so glad we have a president who isn’t afraid to send the national guard into crime-ridden cities to save American lives and blow drug boats out of the water.
After the beating the Republicans took in the last election, Trump is worried about the midterms. Rightfully so. So now, he’s pulling back some of his policies that he knows caused this. But he’s doing it quietly, so no one will notice he’s admitting that he screwed up. Pulling back some tariffs to lower prices, stopping arrests of farm workers, and even considering extending Obamacare subsidies, you know he’s scared. What’s next?
Fact J, Biden came in on the devastation of Trump’s COVID economy; Trump came in on the coattails of Obama’s more than adequate economy. The economy was never a strong suit of the republican party, but they were always high in integrity and law. Looks like that has changed. Anyone in the Epstein files should be tried and jailed.

Oh no, KC. YOU, brought up Obama, Hillary, and Biden in your November 9th saying what would happen(what-aboutism) if they did the same thing as President Trump. That is how Democrats like you operate. You accuse someone else of what you do every day. Hillary had no power to pardon anyone, Biden didn’t even sign the pardons, and Obama got rich off the presidency. Hypocrite on steroids = KC.

Local leaders in New York City Democrat Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (aka social media sweetheart AOC) district have again called on FBI Director Kash Patel to finally crush the festering scourge of ruthless foreign gangs pimping women in brothels and pumping drugs into the AOC’s Queens neighborhood. AOC and the Democrats are resisting the help. Dema be tripp’n!

Just read Sunday’s Sound Off, and I can’t believe the baloney comments in there. Like the one saying the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia should be on death row. Why? Because you say so? I could say the Prime Minister of Ukraine should be on death row, but that would be just as absurd. Oh yeah, and the slime is oozing out of Nancy Pelosi’s office and bank account … now that is a fact!

Logical Lady. Allow me to help you learn about the drug boats from Venezuela and their illegal activity. Google “YouTube” and search for Venezuela drug boats being stopped by the Coast Guard. A lot are blowing up these boats, but there are a few actually showing stopping, boarding and recovering (along with a positive test right on the spot) illegal drugs. View that and return to Sound Off with your comments. You’re welcome!

I would rather have a new ballroom than the White House lawn filled with topless trans people wandering around!
Having a bad day? Cheer up! Be happy that you aren’t going through life being one of those “other” Jeffrey Epsteins.
