Question for our city commissioners and police chief: How does it feel to see seniors and other taxpayers picking up garbage along our main streets every day because you all can’t seem to get your act together enough to enforce littering laws? Wake up and do your job.

I question Gov. Kemp’s trip to Davos to spend taxpayer money to hobnob with the elite. I understand this is his second year there.

I agree with what you are calling our GOP leaders’ “big lie.” These freeloaders in our state are given enough. They should have to work to get something in their lives. There’s a reason only 2,300 have signed up for the governor’s plan; like Gov. Deal said, they’re sitting around waiting on another government check.

There are so many places in Albany (any Walmart, the mall, Cheddar’s, Sam’s, Shoe Station, and on and on) that you only need to walk from your car to the front doors to get high on marijuana. This is not appropriate, especially when I have my children with me. It’s illegal. Is there anything that can be done?

Trump got Nicky Haley confused with Nancy Pelosi; explain that away, blind sheep.

Fletcher, your refusal to give President Trump the respect he deserves is disgusting. Here is a man who has sacrificed for you, and you call him a liar. You should be ashamed of yourself.

The NFL is a shell of its former self. I haven’t watched a single play all year. Good riddance.

Yo, Delusional: Herr Trump may be your “True President;” your lack of insight can’t be helped. For most of us, he’s nothing but a huckster, serial liar and a thief. As Marco said, if Daddy hadn’t given him 400 mill, he’d be hawking watches on Times Square. Greatest threat to the Democratic experiment in 100 years. Go fish.

Don’t know what YT says about the $100 million gift to Spelman College; I say, even though it may be considered trite, “Thank you,” 100 million times, thank you.

Lucille Lannigan: How about looking into the status on the 2019 theft in the Municipal Court? Or, deep-dive into the USPS theft issues. We need more than “feel good” local journalism, like the hidden issues.

Notice how Republicans aren’t talking about gas prices, inflation or the economy anymore? They talk about the border but don’t mention that virtually every Republican voted against additional border funding and, while in the majority, haven’t introduced a bill to address the border. Signed, Yours Truly

Folks that are happy on a Monday are called retired.

Democratic ideology is liberalism, which leads to socialism, which leads to communism, which leads to even more poverty. Don’t be led around and deceived by the elite political class. Read about the recent developments in Argentina, where socialism was canceled before it was too late.

It was all about social and economic inclusion until one minority decided they wanted separation. “Black National Anthem?” Really?

Rachel Maddow said MSNBC did not air Trump’s Iowa victory speech because they couldn’t air lies. MSNBC airs lies all the time, and Rachel Maddow is the biggest liar on the network.
