You can have a happy marriage when you learn these rules: All your money is your money. All my money is your money. Say yes, ma’am; no, ma’am; thank you, ma’am; please, and I’ll never do that again. (It works for me.)

Why is the city of Albany wasting taxpayers’ money on vinyl-wrapping a car? Surely they can find a better use for those tax dollars.

The mayor needs to quit blaming others for the crime that’s happening on her watch. If she wants to do more, she needs to bring in more cops, more jobs and more security for these stores so people can be in and out safely.

Someone knowledgeable once said, “We judge others by their worst decisions, but we judge ourselves by our best intentions.”

To Mayor Hubbard, the commissioners and the police department: The mayor said she was going to declare war on crime. Here’s how to do that. Get all the young men running loose in Albany and have no jobs or doing anything else, and get them drafted into the military for 2-3 years.

Three homicides in one week (and more since then). Different circumstances; different motivations. But what do these all have in common? Guns! But no one acknowledges this as a factor.

For all you deep thinkers out there: “Alligator lizards in the air.” Figure that one out.

Bush fits right in with Clinton and Obama. He turned near liberal his second term, thinking they would like him.

If Donald Trump gets his tax cut passed, the middle class will get about $8 more a payday.

If you don’t think your government is listing to you at home and you have “Alexia,” just say, “Alexia, is the CIA listing to me?” Just let me know via The Squawkbox.

Squawker says: “Republican Christians are jumping up and down about Harvey Weinstein, but were OK electing Trump president, who did the same thing.” Yet, you so-called Christian Democrats were OK with Wild Bill doing it while he was president of the U.S.

The latest and definitely most overused buzz word is the word “amazing.” I think I have heard this word used more in the last year than I have the rest of my 70 years put together. Enough, please!

Carlton Fletcher giving lessons at the Civic Center sounds good. Maybe he would serve that blue Kool-Aid for refreshments that already has left so many people delusional.

Whether talking to Gold Star families or victims of hurricanes, President Trump doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt because he doesn’t deserve it. He has demonstrated that, when others are suffering, he cares only about himself and how he is perceived.

It’s amazing how much more class the baseball players show over the pro football players.

President Bonespurs just blamed the generals for the loss of four soldiers in Niger. He takes blame for nothing. What a coward.

Turns out Hillary was right. The Russians were meddling in the elections. She didn’t point out, however, they were meddling on her behalf in exchange for a $500,000 “donation.”
