Anyone having issues like Carlton Fletcher described in Sunday’s editorial needs to call Capt. Angel Bradford at the Albany Police Department at 302-0750.

Wake up, Squawker. As New York SNAP and WIC recipients struggle daily to feed their children, the migrants are dumping thousands of “free” cooked/ prepared meals in Dumpsters, uneaten. A ton, every day at the big hotel in midtown.

It’s obvious these school zone cameras are part of a scam to keep the police department funded without them having to lift a finger. I respect police officers who lay their lives on the line every day, but I don’t respect bureaucrats who sit behind desks and find ways to bilk taxpayers out of their money.

City commissioners, we already have more public housing than peer cities. Discussion of adding more keeps new businesses from moving here and challenges quality of life. Change your tune, or your tax base will migrate to places where smarter commissioners practice prudent spending. You will run out of money.

Speaker Mike Johnson has proven to be nothing more than Donald Trump’s lap dog. A bipartisan group of Senators has negotiated what is said to be the strongest border deal yet, but Johnson has declared it dead on arrival because Trump doesn’t want it to weaken his flailing campaign. Signed, Yours Truly

I almost saw a walker on the new sidewalk on Old Dawson Road. At the last moment, they decided to walk through a parking lot to avoid fast traffic so close.

SMRs, you should be glad the great robber barons of the 1800/1900’s did not prevent your ancestors from entering Ellis Island.

Immigrants should be allowed into our country. They are willing to work and create a better life for themselves. They are not going to sit on the porch.

Wait, correct me if I’m wrong: A bipartisan group comes up with a plan to tackle the problem at our southern border — which Republicans say is their No. 1 issue — but the speaker of the House shoots it down because Trump wants the problem to continue? Johnson hitching his wagon to this vile criminal is a shame.

Permitting adversaries like China to acquire American farmland raises significant concerns about national security. A billionaire Chinese Communist is now the second-largest farmland owner in America.

Support your governments: 77 days until April 15, tax filing day. Feel the love.

Anyone who thinks the members of the Albany Police Department are just sitting around needs to attend the Citizens’ Academy and do a ride-along. At least then you would be able to intelligently comment on something you actually know about.

Sometimes giving folks a second chance is like giving them another shell for their shotgun because they missed you the first time.

Miscreant? Ha ha, if you say so. Actually I’m your worst nightmare: a motivated and educated fact-filled conservative veteran voter with 60 years of analytical experience. Your liberal demo lies showcase your total ignorance of illegal immigration and its effects.
