Squawkbox – April 2, 2026

I laughed out loud when I read the squawk about the marchers of March 28 (No Kings) wasting their time. Trump being the greatest president this country has ever had “because he’s bending a few rules.” You are the exact reason that most of us who are not in your cult now attempt to “vet” every person we hire (house painters, yard people, realtors, financial advisors, tax preparers, dog sitters etc.). The slippery moral values you are so willing to reward with our nuclear codes and tax dollars make us wonder about things like how much sex abuse is OK with people like you.

Over a week has passed since the tragic street racing deaths, including a 4-year-old child. What has happened since then to make our roads safer? Nothing. Just more street racing. Constantly. Every night. No action by the city. Nothing done by the county, APD or DCP. Could our mayor and chairman be any lazier or more incompetent?

For all those city leaders and those at KADB who like to coddle those who litter and spend your well-meaning effort to pick up after them, please come to my home alley and pick up the condoms. It’s forbidden to write a squawk about such things, but OK for families and children who walk the alley to step over them. Not so sure it’s the Good Life City, but convinced it’s well protected.

Indeed, let’s give those employees of a badly failing school system more of our tax money. You don’t have to worry about this local bunch burning out: They’re aware that they couldn’t get a job anywhere else.

The actions of Dougherty County’s coroner investigation of the Jake Embert case is unbelievable. He walked into the room with the body, took some pictures and was finished within an hour. He asked two young cops there what they thought, and they replied suicide. No test of gun residue on anyone’s hands and let the wife cremate him the next day. Another great example of Albany’s elected people.

Socialism destroys the economy gradually … then quickly.

I say we quit using taxpayer money to clean up after the slobs whose property quickly turns into a garbage heap. If they want to live in garbage, let them … at least until their garbage starts impacting neighbors. Then, either make them clean it up themselves or put them in jail.

I laughed out loud when I read a poster in this forum talk about how “classy” the first lady is after watching her ridiculous “documentary.” (I call it a boring home movie.) I don’t think I’d call a woman whose nude pictures while making out with another woman are readily available on the internet “classy.”

It’s early yet, but the Braves’ much-worried-over starting pitching is the team’s greatest strength so far.

It is useful to realize how often, when Trump has criticized either Biden or Obama, Trump himself has done or will do the same thing but worse. Examples range from Obama’s spending too much time playing golf (see Mar a Lago weekend visits), to Hunter Biden profiting from the office (too many Trump family examples to name), to respect during dignified transfers, to over-use of executive orders.

Don’t worry, all you phony, paid protesters, our greatest president will not be king. He will remain our president as long as he wants to be.
