Squawkbox – February 7, 2026

Where is my $197,000 virtual tour of Albany? Taxpayers paid for it, contracted for it, now where is it? An explanation: The product or a cashier’s check for $197,000 is due. In the process, if it can replicate or be bettered with four hours of AI, just deliver the check to the treasury office on Pine Avenue.

Perhaps the bill to fund ICE can be rolled into the legislation to restore Obamacare subsidies.

The way I see it, those ICE protesters should have been shot. If these people protecting real Americans would take out a few more of them, we’d be better off.

The article “Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong” was outstanding.

I think President Trump should remove all ICE agents from Minnesota. Give Timmy Waltz what he wants. At the same time, President Trump should close all federal government buildings in Minnesota and cut off all federal funding. Close any military bases in Minnesota. Let Waltz operate only by state-generated funds. Nothing from Congress.

The Tongva Tribe says Billie Eilish lives on stolen land that belongs to them and Billie Eilish should give the land back to them.

Jim Crow laws and Black Codes were conceived in the North, but the South gets all the blame for them, just as it wrongly does for slavery.

At least the numerous school children who were killed with assault weapons received “thoughts and prayers.” Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti are being called “domestic terrorists” for practicing their right to protest unwanted and unneeded federal agents taking over their city, which is what right-wingers have warned us about for years. That Man Without a Family

You know, Mr. Fletcher, if these Trumpers actually knew how their ancestors entered this country many years ago — some immigrated because they were poor, looking for a better life or running from the law — they might have a better perspective on immigration.

If Albany and Dougherty County are ever going to turn themselves around, we need more citizens like Milan Patel to step up and do what they have to do to move things forward. Trust me, it’s never going to happen if we leave things to our nimrod commissioners.

Epstein wasn’t a lone predator. He was part of a geopolitical blackmail network by Mossad Israeli intelligence, a system controlling elites and shaping policies.

Thank you, Milan Patel, for caring enough about your community to try and make it better. I enjoyed the article because it takes us behind the scenes of what happened with this project.

Gestapo, rabid dogs, sycophants and drunks, brink of civil war — some of the words Fletcher used to describe Trump and his people. Be reminded that 62% of United States veterans voted for Trump. Also be reminded that active-duty military votes overwhelmingly for Republicans. Guess now you will say our military vets and active military are Nazis also.

There has never been — and never will be — an American president greater than Donald Trump.

Still don’t get it: Republicans — in Congress and voters — would rather keep any evidence that Trump was a child molester hidden than to have the truth come out. I know y’all worship him, but doesn’t possible child molestation concern you just a little?

Now ICE agents are wearing body cameras, and you will see a change with behavior for protesters. They can no longer lie about any situation that arises.

Let’s get rid of racists like Diane Brown, Colette Jenkins, Lorenzo Heard and Chad Warbington and elect people like Milan Patel, who puts his money where his mouth is.

You creeps who continue to support the murderers in ICE show that your only concern is that your worshipful master in the White House gets to continue his reign of terror.

Squawker, Fletcher didn’t say anything at all about your master that wasn’t true. You just can’t seem to stand the fact that more objective people see this ghoul for what he is, not what he — and you — say he is.

Why are y’all complaining about President Trump dozing off? I haven’t heard complaining about Rep. Bishop being asleep if he isn’t speaking.

A good way to control demonstrators in Minnesota is to use water-dropping airplanes and freeze them in place with 20-degree weather. When they thaw out in the spring, early summer, they may have a different attitude.

Mr. Patel, the miracle is not that you were willing to donate your own land for a city attraction, it’s that you got the racists on the city and county commissions to agree on something that seems like it will be good for the entire community.

The Albany city manager’s office needs to step up. We don’t need more “Buy your house” and “Sell us your car” paper signs littering every intersection. Horrible for our city, businesses and taxpayers. The latest is the new coffee shop on Dawson Road that put out 20-plus signs in a single block. They have been there a week. This is just lazy municipal administration.
