If the GOP fails to reform health care and taxes, the voters will punish them.

Sorry, the taxpayers do not need another farm bill. Let the good farmers grow crops that sell, the bad farmers and their cronies can find new careers, and the U.S. consumer can enjoy an immediate plummet in food prices. No more selective socialism through farm subsidies.

Many Democrats of the 1960s call themselves the Republican base today. Thanks, squawker, for reminding us about the history of hate speech.

I have the right “not” to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird or tick me off.

If you try to discuss foreign policy with Obama supporters, keep in mind most of them believe Iran is what they did after robbing a liquor store.

Whatever happened the Albany atheists group? Albany needs a group for free thinkers that don’t have to try to fit in with the typical religious people that dominate this area.

All presidents since Nixon have pledged to make America energy independent. Finally, it happened! Now we are not only energy independent, but also an exporter. During his European trip, Trump made a deal to supply natural gas to Poland, making them less dependent on Russia.

Who could have foreseen the enrollment at Darton College would drop almost 25 percent if it merged with Albany State? The answer is everyone but the Board of Regents.

I read the story about the Gathering Place, very grateful another place creating jobs. Every story Lane Rosen has put out about downtown and how it’s not going to make it .. now he has an opportunity for a renter and he praises downtown.

Minus 27 degrees Fahrenheit, Greenland, this July 4th. And right now, the ice shelves are increasing.

With all the free federal money they get, ASU should be at full enrollment.

George Clooney, his wife and children want to move back to the United States because where they live at, they have open borders and are unsafe. They have too many terrorist attacks over there.

The squawks supporting Hillary never fail to amaze me. She proved herself to be inadequate and incompetent during Benghazi.

If the elections were today, I’d still vote for Trump.

Why is the University of Georgia Dawg Days tour not coming to Albany?

What good is that little rock pile known as North Korea plan on gaining flexing their military?

Put it in the paper that if you’re caught illegal dumping, your truck will be confiscated on the spot and never returned. Also, put up cameras and catch them. Cameras are made for outdoor surveillance.

To the Slick Willie fan who made big gains in the stock market during Clinton’s tenure, temper that with the millions who lost factory jobs with good-paying salaries and excellent medical benefits. NAFTA hollowed out America’s industrial base.

Not one Russian asked me to vote against Hillary Clinton. I did anyway.

How much more can President Trump embarrass this country? Now, he’s got Ivanka sitting at the table with the summit leaders, world leaders. This is not Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.

I love President Trump. Man, does he hate the taste of Marxist Kool-Aid.
