Albany, why is it racist to not want “affordable housing,” a.k.a. “projects,” in or near nice neighborhoods? Let’s call affordable housing what it is: government housing projects. They bring down property values.

When Trump was a businessman, he could quietly buy off a politician when he committed fraud. Now that he is a former president, he can’t hide his fraud.

Squawker, it’s easy to remain “above the law” when you don’t break the law. Perhaps you and your criminal Republican party should try that instead of breaking the law and claiming immunity. Your sham of a party is imploding to the point that you and them are no longer relevant. Signed, Yours Truly

It was very stupid of the city to send our employee to check water when we had such a downpour of rain.

Nicki Haley says 70% of Americans don’t want Trump or Biden as the next president. Based on the polls, 70% of Americans don’t want Haley as the next president either.

These days my happy hour is my 3 p.m. nap.

The American judicial system got another black eye today. The hearing for the Atlanta DA looked more like the Jerry Springer Show than a serious judicial proceeding.

Who says Trump doesn’t believe in the constitution? He has taken the 5th over 400 times in just one of his many depositions. No wonder he is claiming and needing immunity.

Saturday editorial tells us how far left you are getting, Fletcher. You start your article with Alice Cooper, then call two governors “far-right lunatics?” You have always had a problem with conservatives and the wealthy of America. Someone who writes about music more than the problems of the world can’t call anyone a lunatic.

Advice to seniors: Do not get down on the floor to play with the grandkids unless you have a plan in place as to how you are going to get back up.

Thank you for putting two days of comics in. I do one set and save the other for the next day.

Go Nikki! Go Nikki! 

Why would anyone with any quality of leadership accept a job as county administrator of Dougherty County? How would anyone that has skills to lead work for Lorenzo and his gang? Paying someone in Daytona, Fla., $38,000 to find someone is ridiculous. Nobody is going to come to Albany to work for these clowns.

Fani Willis is an absolute joke. She is a disgrace to all black women who deserve better.

Saturday’s editorial page was outstanding.

Poor Joel Osteen, crying his eyes out to his congregation Sunday. He reminds me so much of Jim Bakker. If people will sent more checks, he will stop crying.

Trump is spending millions of dollars in campaign funds to pay his legal bills, yet I’d love to have a dollar for every person who will still send him money. Go figure. That Liberal Man

Sometimes it takes only one song to bring back a thousand memories. Or some songs are worth 10,000 thoughts.
