The question can be answered: If I were in a foreign country and someone tried to separate me from my kids, I would go home.

Another weekend in the Good Life city with no CBS network from Mediacom. I’m not blaming the Republicans, the Democrats or the Russians.

It’s been over a year now, and special counsel Robert Mueller still hasn’t found any evidence of Russian collusion or malfeasance from the Trump campaign. Time to stop this pointless investigation.

I think ASU ought to acquire the Albany Museum next to the east campus and start a super-great arts program, bring in somebody good to run it and advertise to bring in students interested in art from all over the region.

President Trump can’t destroy what King Obama has already destroyed.

In reference to Carlton’s column Sunday: I was working on a construction job and the window units had in yellow letters on it: “Fall hazard.” What else do you think it could be? One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

I thought for a while that meeting a car on Dawson with the headlights bobbing up and down that there was something wrong with their suspension. I figured out it’s the streets and how rough they are.

If Donald Trump were to introduce a cure for cancer, every Democrat in Congress would vote against it, that’s how hard their hearts are.

Thank you, Ebony Hazeleger, for your informative column in Sunday’s Herald.

The city has yet to pave roads on the west side of town. Will any action be taken to repair the sewer system in east Albany?

The president cannot pardon himself, but will Mike Pence pardon him?

I see in Sunday’s paper where teen driving crashes become more plentiful in summer months. Wait until they have self-driving cars. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Trump was recorded during a long-ago radio commercial. You constantly say it as if it was yesterday. I bet your private talk is worse. Move out of that glass house.

Any Albany prospect riding around the city will see an unusually large number of expensive city buses with two or fewer passengers. This demonstrates a city that will waste its funds.

Trump has been a Democrat or a Republican his entire life. When he decided to run for president, he had to decide which party was most gullible.

It is not conservatives complaining about welfare payments, it’s taxpayers. They are sick of subsidizing sorry people, whether they’re black or white.

Is it just me, or do all the sales papers leading up to Fathers Day have items that look like gifts for Mothers Day? Can’t we have our own holiday?

To the Squawker who did not understand why the food stamps and the farm bill are in the same package: The people getting food stamps get most of the funding and the farmers get a little.

Back in my mama’s day, people like Trump and Roseanne Barr were trashy people, and definitely not role models for our children.

The Flint Riverkeepers have truly had some great environmental successes. Keep it up
