With all the crime, robberies, home invasions, assaults and homicides, I feel a lot safer now that Albany is spending $19,000 to purchase more speed tables.

Obama set thousands of prisoners free to continue their life of crimes, but the ACLU is upset that Trump wants to pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Obama could have set Charles Manson free and they would have applauded him.

So because of the violence in Virginia, ESPN broadcaster Robert Lee is taken off a UVA game due to his name and will work another game in Pittsburgh. Liberals mess up everything.

This stupid, crazy crap that’s going on … a person gets removed from their job because of their name? This is the Left taking over.

Farmers grow a lot of things besides peanuts, like corn, pecans, watermelons, cows for beef and milk, pigs and hogs for bacon, beans and fruit. Oh, heck. Anybody as confused as you does not need any more.

B.J. Fletcher says her top priorities are crime, blight, jobs, when it should be resurface streets, resurface streets, resurface streets.

If it wasn’t for the farmers growing food so you can eat, you would not be living to show your ignorance.

Roger Marietta’s response to high crime and lack of business opportunities in Albany: Let’s spend money on speed bumps!

Glad I watched live coverage of the Phoenix rally as CNN’s Don Lemon and guests went off the charts discussing it. Guess who wore face masks and gas masks as they threw objects and teargas bombs at the police? Antifa members. Then the police released teargas to disperse the crowd.

The Republican Party is slowly being destroyed because of the WWE voters.

I had an appointment with my doctor the other day. My nurse told me he would not be in because he was doing commercials on TV. How about that?

My 6-year-old throws less temper tantrums than Trump. He’s an embarrassment.

Mr. Sportswriter, clean off your crystal ball. The Bulldogs cannot win the SEC East if they lose to the Gators again. Go Gators!

B.J. Fletcher says start citing people for having grass grown up in the yard. You better start with the city. The old section of the cemetery down here … it is hideous.

City Commissioner Fletcher can have the city property around the duck pond on Stuart Avenue cleaned up. The weeds are growing so it’s going to be a forest.

Why aren’t non-racist people protesting the murders of two ladies on their job?

When the city tries to clean up the blight, they ought to start at the corner of Holloway and Slappey. When you go down Holloway, it gets worse. Somebody needs to do something about that area.

I just spent a week in the North Georgia mountains. It’s so different than Albany.

I just bought my first new car in 12 years. A jet plant couldn’t have more gauges, features, displays, etc. than it does. The owner’s manual is 732 pages. I am 75 and remember when they put blinkers in cars. I thought that was cool because you no longer had to stick your arm out to signal a turn. Help!
