My granddaughter is 4 years old and can count to 10. I am amazed at the number of adults in the grocery line that can’t.

Paul Ryan resigned to spend more time with his wife and kids not because of Trump.

What ever happened to when food service people had to wear hairnets on duty?

It is a shame some people choose to celebrate the Confederate life of traitors who turned their backs against America to stupidly wage and lose a war that killed over 620,000.

Carlton’s article had a statement that jumped out at me: “… that the four had pre-agreed on.” Isn’t that against the law? Isn’t everything supposed to be before the public? Pre-agreed = dirty and underhanded.

President Trump listened to his advisers and military leaders and did what they recommended. Case in point Syria. Obama made his advisers and military leaders listen to him. Case in point nothing done. Now tell me who the president was.

The biggest threat to this country is not a sane gun owner, but an insane politician.

Trump pardoned Scooter Libby, who was convicted for leaking and lying. Trump say James Comey is a leaker and liar who should be prosecuted. Trump does not believe in equal justice.

After the death of two friends, we made donations to their churches as requested by their families. After several months, we have not received any notification that they were received. What has happened to common courtesy in today’s society?

Mr. McCoy could do everyone a favor and move on. Even if he gets hired, there will always be a very dark cloud over his presence. Suing to get a job is not in his favor with the citizens.

Are all the grocery store closings in Albany due to the numerous amount of grocery carts being stolen and left all over town?

If those four commissioners that denied Mr. McCoy that job after being best qualified were white, the marching, protests and screams of racism would be heard all the way to Atlanta and we all know it.

I sure wish someone, somehow, could slow down these folks who speed through the store parking areas. You would think they were driving on the freeway.

Last year when Trump tossed missiles at Syria for a gas attack, apparently they had no missile defenses. Now that Russia has installed those defenses, they are anxious to test their effectiveness. So they goad Trump with another gas attack to do so. And the Russian and American bankers will smile at their new resulting profits .

New hiring! Imagine that. These healthy looking young beggars need to get a job.

Mike McCoy, have you ever heard the expression “You’re what we want but not who we want?” I did. Yes, it hurts, but life goes on. We don’t always get what we think we want. No reason to hurt others with a lawsuit.

Albany HR managers, please explain the economics behind paying certain employees more than they generate. Also explain the logic behind hiring a new person with all the attendant costs rather than pay a current employee more to stay?
