Birthdays are good for your health. Studies have shown if you have more birthdays, you live longer.

Don’t tell your problems to other people. Ninety percent don’t care and the other 10 percent are glad you got them.

I was born in a humble (poor) environment. I had nothing … I still have most of it … but we always had plenty. Every time I asked for seconds, my Dad said, “You’ve had plenty.”

If Trump destroys NAFTA, prices will double.

I don’t know what’s going on with the light bill from Albany Utilities. Back when they said they were going up, that was fine, but $150 a month for the last three months? I’ve never had a light bill close to $400 before. Something needs to be stopped.

Judy, Judy, Judy … please don’t plant no more trees in Albany. You didn’t see what the storm done for Albany with all these trees? We got too many trees now. We need to cut some more down.

You must be dreaming, squawker, thinking it was Obama’s policies that’s got the stock market this hot. Crawl back in bed and wait for your check to come to the house.

Congresswoman Frederica Wilson from Florida, I wonder how the Gold Star families think about her, knowing she voted against them every time on their getting extra benefits and extra help?

It’s ironic. In football, an interception can lead to a victory. In baseball, a pitch to the sweet spot can do the same.

The insurance company can’t take care of you medically. That outrageous premium that so many people have to pay each month? They consider that their money. They don’t want you spending it.

If the NFL players want to have equality, why don’t they get off their million-dollar paychecks and start spreading the money around where it’ll help people having difficulties instead of their childish attitudes of disrespecting the flag and the soldiers?

The American people would be real surprised about what goes on in Washington under cover, like when all this uranium was being sold to the Russians by the Clintons and how many high-profile politicians were in on it.

The problem with Congress is we got too many fake Republicans up there.

Where were the teachers during the now infamous drug search by Worth deputies? As a retired teacher, if they tried to search all of my students, without credible probable cause or any kind of warrants, they would have had to arrest me first. Teachers have a duty to protect their students.
