Carlton also left out that Obama expanded welfare and entitlements and encouraged illegals to come to the U.S. to get free benefits, welfare, Food stamps and health care at taxpayers’ expense.

Happy Fourth of July. I’m proud to be an American.

All you squawkers that keep squawking about the elected officials might as well get over it. The good ol’ days of the good ol’ boys will not be coming back to Albany.

I disagree with the squawker saying the VA system is blanket health benefits with a rubber stamp. If it was, we wouldn’t have had to wait 16 years for one disability to be recognized and 20 years for another disability to be recognized.

The president is on the way to the G20 meeting in Germany. When he gets there, will he thank Putin for helping him whoop crooked Hillary?

Mayor Hubbard, Subadan, all of them get on TV and talking about the accomplishments they’ve achieved. Why don’t they tell the truth? They achieved on the back of the hardworking common people.

A few years ago I worked for a plumbing company that honored a warranty for one of these home warranty companies that advertise on TV. One of them, it took three weeks to get one lady a hot water heater. If I hadn’t done everything I could, she never would have gotten one.

I see the cuts they’ve already started on elderly people. Are they going to cut benefits on these young girls just having babies to get a check?

Trump does not believe in freedom of the press. He wants to be a dictator, not a president.

I know one thing. Albany’s got a mindset that’s got to change or ain’t nothing ever going to change, no matter how much money you got.

Albany needs another mayor like James Gray. You’d see a lot of changes made if James Gray was still mayor, or someone like him.

Fireworks may have their place in a controlled environment, but should be banned in neighborhoods. There’s too much possibility of fires and injuries.

The squawker who said that Trump was elected “unanimously” illustrates how such an ill-prepared, ill-suited person could be elected president.

President Trump offers out help to a family with their sick baby and fake news, NBC, has a sicko comment to make about it. How sick can you get? A family is concerned about their baby and the president offers to help and they make something bad out of it.

The president’s concern for a terminally-ill British child is very American, but where is his concern for the millions of Americans who will lose insurance coverage under Trumpcare?

I’ll give you four reasons this country’s in a mess: Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, George W. Bush. I know what this country was like before those four presidents, and I know what it’s like now. I wish I was in the country before those four presidents.

I would like to know how people can call this the Good Life city. Come on. There’s a shooting nearly every day. I’m from Jersey and ain’t nothing like this in New York every day.
