Saturday Squawkbox

If you are upset about Alice Coachman potentially closing, I beg you to stop voting for crooked pastor commissioners who promise more government-funded handouts. These characters are a main reason you can’t get a higher-paying job and why so many families have to move their children away. Their behavior scares away new businesses, new jobs, as well as law enforcement recruits. 

Janis Joplin with Pig Pen singing Bobby Bland’s 1961 hit “Turn on Your Love Light” with the Grateful Dead is my No. 1 cover song.

These athletic scholarships are great, but how many academic scholarships have these schools produced? I thought the idea of schools was to produce academic excellence, not collage sports players.

Reading in the Squawkbox that APD is too busy with higher priorities to protect rights of old folks: (1) Please list the low-priority laws APD is no longer enforcing so I too might break them with impunity and a clear conscious. (2) If hoodlums, murderers, thieves and child-abusers take priory time, should they not pay the APD salaries rather than the law-keepers who are neglected and taxed for it? 

“Goyim [non-Jews] were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world only to serve the people of Israel,” – Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. This perspective by so many Israelis creates anti-Semitic feelings.

Republicans want you to think they’re reducing the debt by cutting Medicare and Medicaid. They’re not. They’re adding to it by giving more tax cuts to billionaires. Turn off Fox and read a newspaper. That Man Without a Family 

How can northwest Albany, with every food chain in America on every corner, have no Popeye’s? Best fried chicken out there. Even the store on South Slappey needs an update.

What!? Monkees’ “I’m a Believer?” That’s a Neil Diamond song.

How in the world do you expect two widely divided groups to talk to each other, Mr. Fletcher, when their ideologies are on opposite sides of the spectrum? One wants entitlements; the other already feels entitled. End results … we’ve got two groups whose only concern is for their own wants and their own people.

Picture AOC and remember no species on earth lets the dumbest lead the pack except Democrats.

Outstanding article about the young man who lost his arm — and almost his life — in an auto accident after graduation. Parents here allow their kids to host graduation parties with little or no supervision, and then when something like this happens they want to blame it on law enforcement, the city/county, anyone but themselves. 

When will these people doing balloon releases be charged with littering? That is exactly what this is.

Politician buzzwords: Be mindful of when you hear a politician say the have a “laser-focus” on an issue. Translation: It’s screwed up. Now that you know it, I want you to know it, too. I’m not going to really do anything to fix it, but I want you to know I am looking for someone in the other party to blame.” More tweets of outrage to follow.
