Carlton, I don’t agree with you three days out of the year, but Sunday’s article wasn’t bad. But going back to the original article, maybe you shouldn’t have called the people who disagree with you “sunshine patriots.” That just might have caused some of the angst.

I would have loved to have watched the Falcons and the Patriots on Sunday night, but I’m taking a stand, not a knee.

We can remove flags and statues all day, but until we figure out how to remove the hate in people’s heart, nothing will change.

If anybody wants a chicken biscuit bad enough on Sunday, they can go to McDonald’s, Burger King or Hardee’s. If they can’t live one day without Chick-fil-A, then they have serious mental issues.

The golf team at ASU deserves to have a more professional golf coach. The golf team should be his top priority when traveling to and from a tournament, not his personal business.

I think Florida Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson set up that story about Trump and the fallen soldier to attack Trump to make him look bad.

Good to see the mayor. First time I heard from her since she won her award a while back. Maybe if she does something about the homicides and crime in Albany she’ll win another one.

Insurance company profits were up 250-500 percent under Obamacare. The only hope to get the healthcare system in this country right is to have nonprofit insurance co-ops.

Two things the draft-dodger-in-charge should never have an opinion about — patriotism and sexual harassment allegations made upon someone else.

After standing in line in an “express” line for almost 20 minutes at one of our local superstores this last Saturday, please don’t tell me I need to shop locally. Amazon, here I come.

Again, squawker, let me be specific. A hit dog will always bark. Remember, you used the term to describe Obama as a racist.

You’re calling Trump a coward? Only coward we had was Barack Hussein Obama.

All these pundits on TV wanting to know why we’re in Niger, how long we’ve been there, how long we’re going to be there. We don’t need to know. This administration is different. We’re not going to broadcast when we’re coming or when we’re leaving. Some things need to be secret to protect our military.

Isn’t it funny that no NFL player has criticized, humiliated or disrespected a Gold Star family, but the president has?

Squawker, President Reagan cut tax rates in the 1980s and created 200 million jobs,. Just like my ex-Republican girlfriend, you too are not informed about the economy.

If Carlton Fletcher would teach a free civics course at the Civic Center, the educational level in The Squawkbox would quadruple.

After nearly a year of untold millions wasted on a phony Russian investigation, Jimmy Carter comes out with the same conclusion and states Hillary lost because it was Hillary.

Under the 1st Amendment, I have the right to be rude as hell. Be prepared. You may be next.

The Chicago police have replaced sirens with the national anthem so the crooks will stop running and take a knee.
