Another murder in Albany! Twenty, with over two months to go.

Community leaders are talking of cutting the murder/crime rate in Albany. You think maybe trying to do something about the 70-80 percent illegitimate birth rate might be a good start? All of these fatherless homes seem to be a large factor in these young criminals.

Wow, the mayor has declared war on murder and crime. Bet the gang members and thugs are petrified. Law enforcement knows who they are and where they are. Arrest, conviction and elimination are what is needed, not mere words.

Shame on the Florida “cowgirl” congresswoman for exploiting that poor widow’s loss and grief for her own selfish political media exposure. She had absolutely no business eavesdropping on a private communication that was none of her business! But that is a liberal Democrat M.O.

Trump would have been criticized no matter what he would have said to the widows and family members of those killed in the Niger ambush, so he might as well not even worry about it.

NAFTA is what helped destroy American jobs.

I am so disappointed in ex-President Bush, who got on television insinuating President Trump in everything he talked about, but never against the crooked Obama and how he hated this country and brought more racial division than anybody I’ve seen. Guess he’s mad because he beat his brother.

What’s next? Remove all the crosses from Arlington Cemetery? Stand up, people. We don’t have to take this mess.

Ah, yes, the smell of cotton defoliant. Happy cancer, everyone.

Reagan cut taxes and ushered in a 25-year economic boon. You can look that up.

America is a good country with a lot of good people. I am offended by all these bigots trying to stir up trouble. What have you done for this country? The whole world is watching us. Let’s set a good example and stop this foolishness.

I travel U.S. 19. That is nothing but a tailgate boulevard. One tailgated me this morning. He was not three feet off my bumper for miles. When is the law going to start writing tickets for tailgating?

I’m fairly convinced every soldier who voluntarily signs up for military duty knows what he or she is signing up for. I recommend the U.S. government bring back the draft so every young man 18 to 25 serves at least two years. All these demonstrators running around against the flag, the country and military can find out what it’s all about.

I find it again that once again the hypocrisy is in place. When Benghazi happened, The Squawkbox was lit up every day blaming Hillary Clinton and Obama. Now, we’ve got four dead in Niger and not one squawk about it ‘cause it’s on your president’s watch.

Deficits went despite revenues going up when Reagan was president because the Democrat-controlled Congress could not help themselves and spent like drunken sailors, which they always do. And Reagan’s deficits were child’s play compared to Obama’s.

NFL players on your knees, while you’re there, pray for the soldiers who gave their lives for you so you can be there on your knees.
