Thank you to the kind gentleman that paid for my candy at Walmart this morning for me to use in my classroom at school. The kindness of strangers never goes unnoticed. I appreciate your generosity.

Now that the NRA has spent 20 years and millions of dollars making sure that absolutely everyone can buy a battle weapon, they can say guns don’t kill people, children kill people.

What is the big deal about Kim Jong-un getting nukes? Nukes don’t kill people, people kill people. See how stupid that sounds?

Thanks, edible arrangements, for not making deliveries on Valentine’s day. If you can’t handle your biggest day of the year, get out of the business. Thanks for nothing.

The City Commission finally got its head out of the clouds and voted on things that will really benefit the city of Albany. Privatizing the civic center with a management company that can do what it needs to do. And historic preservation is a good thing for everybody concerned, even those people against it.

Carlton, who are you? Your experience in diversity has been limited, to say the least. The county came from, to this very day the schools are roughly 50/50.

I am so lucky to live in a country that allows anybody to buy a military assault rifle and slaughter people. God bless America.

The news media is disgusting to show high school students lying on the floor and being murdered by some crazy man. Don’t they have any feelings whatsoever?

Beware of a scammer pretending to be an officer for a local sheriff’s department trying to get you to purchase a card that’s like a bond to keep you from being arrested for something you didn’t do while the matter is being straightened out.

The shooting in Florida is indeed a terrible tragedy, but now watch the Democrats start screaming for gun control. Everybody knows a Democrat will not miss a chance to mine a tragedy for political gain.

Seventeen children in Florida are dead. The gunman should not even be breathing the same air as the rest of us.

Children are abused, bullied and come from bad homes every day. But that doesn’t mean they go out and kill. That’s just an excuse.

In the schools my grandchildren attend in Fayette County, the doors are locked. Once that door is unlocked, you enter a waiting area that also is locked until they find out who you are, what you want and what you’re doing. Then, you are let into the school. It’s that simple.

Guns are OK to protect our money in the banks, our rich and our politicians, but they’re not allowed to protect our children in the schools. Why?

After the 18th school shooting, 17 people are dead and there’s no comment from the NRA.

Another horrific killing in a gun-free zone.

If the Olympics are so boring to you, don’t watch it. Your boredom problem is solved, plain and simple.

Twelve things continue to embarrass Democrats: Hillary Clinton’s crookedness, Bill Clinton’s extra affairs, Nancy Pelosi, Obama’s lies, Hillary’s loss, Joe Biden’s idiocy, Hillary’s lies, Obama’s workout regime, Obama’s tweets, and Obama, Hillary & Wild Bill.
