The disinformation practiced by the Putin regime should be a wake-up call that there is a truth, and that in America, unlike in Russia, we have not only the responsibility but also the freedom to seek out that truth and accept it, whether it agrees with our politics or not.

Seems Lee County youth baseball is reaping what it has sowed. Isn’t youth baseball supposed to be fun? Apparently, the only thing that matters in Lee County youth baseball is winning at all costs, at 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- and 8 years old. Also, an incompetent and combative board.

Been waiting patiently to see what office Tracy Taylor was going to lose this election.

The review of the Lyle Lovett show by Mr. Brooks that appeared on albanyherald.com on Friday was very well-written. Mr. Brooks deserves kudos for a well-researched and well-written article.

I’m looking forward to the rest of Scott’s story, which is very entertaining so far.

How many middle class Americans can afford to pay $103,000 for an electric car and on top of that pay another $2,000 to $5,000 to get a charging station installed at your home?

Did you ever eat something you like and then get sick a few hours later? Usually, you don’t want to eat that food item again for at least a few months. That’s the way I feel now about MLB. It’s made me sick, and I don’t want it now. That Masked Man
