From the listed charges against some folks, you can tell felons aren’t afraid of being caught with a gun in Albany. Time to make it too expensive for them to even consider being in possession of a firearm.

When we had the good old boys as our city leaders, Albany was thriving and didn’t have problems with murders and all these drive-by shootings.

You know how when you’re on an airplane, the stewardess gives you safety instructions? They say when an oxygen mask drops down, put yours on first, that way you can help somebody else. That’s what Donald J. Trump’s doing for America.

You want to know what stops abortion? It’s called birth control.

Sanctions on any nation that aids North Korea’s nuclear ambitions. Does that include us? Bill Clinton did send light-water reactors to North Korea.

I see the German police know how to deal with rioters. Bust their heads.

To the squawker praising President Trump for helping a sick baby, he did it for a photo op to get his picture in the paper. Next month when they pass that bill, that same baby will be cut off from insurance.

There’s a new medical disorder out there called derriere lead amass. The condition is brought on by spending too much time on the internet and smartphone.

Been a resident of Albany for 69 years; paid for two security lights. When one goes out, Water, Gas & Light comes out and repairs them because that’s lost revenue. But you read The Squawkbox and there’s lights out all over Albany, can’t get fixed. What’s wrong?

It seems to me these objects people release into the air for celebrations with lighted candles seem mighty dangerous. What if one happened to fall on a house, or out in a forest and started a forest fire? I think they should be banned.

For brick and mortar retailers, it’s time to listen to Chicken Little. The sky is falling.

I can’t believe people are still questioning president Obama’s birth certificate and where he was born, but they’re never questioned Melania Trump’s citizenship.

Anti-capitalism, huh? Perhaps all you anti-cappies would be much more happier in a Russian gulag or an Chinese re-education camp, or living on bread, water and potatoes.

You know what? Kathy Griffin is not the president of the United States.

It’s times to bring the Civilian Conservation Corps back that Franklin Roosevelt initiated. All the people sitting on their duffs and doing nothing could at least earn their checks. There’s a lot of cleanup that needs to be done.

The Russians did not affect my presidential vote one iota, or anyone else I’ve talked to. Please tell the media.

Think I’ll run through the fast food drive-thru and pick up a large order of flies.

Just read Eugene Robinson. If he’s so smart and Lawrence O’Donnell’s so smart, why didn’t they run for president and vice president? They could have solved all our problems.

We need a Lt. Columbo to come to Albany and help solve the crimes.

We are not all millionaires. You cannot tax your way into prosperity. Act like it’s your money and spend wisely.
