SQUAWKBOX: JUNE 6, 2026

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Fifty bucks says our city and county commissions nominate at least a few police chief candidates that are grossly unqualified and either cousins of or fellow church members of Lorenzo, Gloria, Victor or Clinton Johnson. These people couldn’t care less about public safety. They only care about themselves.

It would be real interesting to know how much campaign contributions (legal bribes) the red light vendor is giving to each commissioner.

Fletcher, how can you talk about country music and not mention homeboys Luke Bryan and Cole Swindel?

My pride flag has stars and stripes on it and represents a country that tolerates some of this BS.

There’s a silent majority of Americans who stand by our great president and support him in everything he does. We know he’s going to turn things around and make our country great again. We have all the faith in the world.

Coach Smart is making over $13 million a year, and at the SEC meetings this week he complained about the cost of UGA athletics today. Maybe he could start the ball rolling with a 50% pay cut. Any way you look at it, when total college expenses increase, so does tuition.

Since Trump has become President I have used my credit card more and more.

The photo on The Albany Herald’s website says it all: Heard and Gaines grinning, no doubt, over some plot they have to come up with another way to rake in taxpayer money.

All you Always Trumpers must have a hard time looking in the mirror after the continuing crap that your man keeps feeding this country. As one official said: “If Trump wasn’t president, he’d be in jail.” This perverted low-life makes Richard Nixon look like an altar boy.

The Jan. 6 rioters, many of them criminals before and after that date, were pardoned by the cretin in the White House, allowing them to continue their criminal activities after their seditious actions, spurred by the loser they worship. And now he wants to give them millions of dollars for … well, just being cretins like he is. This man has got to go.

How about that picture of the coroner’s truck at the recent murder at Family Dollar on North Slappey? I think he has added more lights, up the sides of the running board, on the fenders, on the tail gates, etc. I noticed a tonneau cover that cost into the thousands. Full-size truck that is not needed, cost taxpayers a bundle. A small Ford truck without all the bells and whistles could have saved taxpayers $50,000. All the decorations for no reason except someone wanting to look important.
