Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.

Georgia is spending millions to lure Amazon’s new facility. It would bring a lot of high-paying jobs, but has anyone looked at what Amazon has done to Seattle? Real estate prices sky high, they have to limit traffic in downtown, cost of living is very high. Amazon spends lots of money on causes that Georgians do not agree with.

Here’s a list of three things that continually embarrass the Democratic Party: (1) Barack Obama’s failures; (2) Donald Trump’s successes; (3) Maxine Waters.

There were immigration laws. They were Native American laws. By the way, we broke every treaty we ever made with them.

Albany is a bird sanctuary, not a feral cat sanctuary.

Delusional statement of the month: Someone is actually giving Obama full credit for the recent Republican tax overhaul.

How can you profess to be a Christian and at the same time support Trump whose actions and policies are the exact opposite of Jesus’ teachings?

These “Dreamers” had all those years to apply for citizenship but did not, now they want to stay. They didn’t, so they need to go, deport them.

It would be bright of the city commissioners to vote to privatize the Civic Center or, better yet, sell it and collect property taxes.

Have you noticed the Do Not Call List does not work? I get four to six calls every day.

Any congressman or senator that does not attend the State of the Union address should be voted against in the next election they’re up for. We send them to D.C. to do a job and attending that address is part of the job.

We went from hope and change to common sense and dollars.

Why can’t Albany get more Georgia network channels on cable TV?

Is there, in fact, an ordinance against panhandling? There are at least three panhandlers in every parking lot in Albany.

Trump claims the economy is expanding. It has not expanded since his inauguration a year ago. He claims GDP is 3 percent. It’s under 2 percent.

Trump’s tax cuts doesn’t cover the increases in grocery, gas and my healthcare premiums. Thanks for nothing.

The reason Kmart and Toys R Us are closing is because of the Albany market and online ordering. When you purchase on line, you are hurting local business, both large and small.

It is so sad when Republican congressmen want to attack the FBI and Robert Mueller rather than being open to the facts as they come out in the investigation.

Pelosi calling the proposed immigration bill white supremacy is ridiculous. It is giving amnesty to DACAs’ parents who brought them here and giving in too much to the open-borders advocates.

That’ll be 1.8 million real Americans who are unemployed who are not getting a job now.

A new survey shows 25 percent of millennials ages 17-37 do not know what a credit score is. And these people are allowed to vote? Must be liberal Democrats.

The smell John Wallace writes about is the stink from the “hog wash” he writes and convinces The Herald to print.
