SQUAWKBOX: APRIL 7, 2026

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

SMRs, in about 250 days the liberals will win the midterm elections and impeach your king.

All of you people criticizing our great president will bow down in respect soon when he turns America back into the great country it once was.

Can someone tell me why there hasn’t been any updates on U.S. casualties since March 12? There are continuing drone strikes on U.S. bases, but nothing in the way of damage reports, injuries or casualties. Either the Iranians are much better at blowing up buildings and sparing lives than we are, or we are in full-blown Newspeak doublethink mode. Somebody dig up Walter Cronkite; we need him.

Here is an idea: Instead of a $2,000 retention bonus paid to our teachers, how about a $2,000 bonus for signing new teachers? Our current teachers have our schools as some of the state’s lowest performing.

The main reason restaurants don’t survive Albany is the employees. They are rude and inconsiderate like they don’t want to be there. Hire better employees and maybe customers will come back. Even Slyvester and Lee county are getting that way.

Giving King $190,000 of our tax money for his idiotic “virtual tour” was only the tip of the iceberg. Now the city and county leaders, whose coffers are in the red, are giving $5 million to a phony preacher, a con man and a thief who ripped off the city he represented. Everyone with a connection to these city and county crooks has a hand out.

Lousy customer service is what’s leading to many restaurants’ demise. What owners/managers should do is send their new hires to Chik-fil-A to watch those employees. They greet customers with a smile and with the knowledge that these customers pay their salaries. That’s how it should be done.

Hey, I attended the “No Kings” protest and was not paid. I could not even get phone numbers from all of those hot liberal women there.

I’ve got a perfect name for King’s ludicrous social media tour of Albany civil rights places of interest: The Screw-over Taxpayer Tour.

UGA All-American/Dolphins All-Pro Bill Stanfill, late of Albany, always spoke of the 1966 game when Stanfill was playing defensive end as a sophomore, and George Patton was on the other end and Jake Scott in secondary. UGA went down and kicked Spurrier’s undefeated Gators’ butt. Stanfill always said Spurrier was a crybaby even back then. Stanfill said after every play that he and Patton sacked or tackled Spurrier, he would jump up and cry to the refs, “Roughing the passer, roughing the passer!”

The president is like E F Hutton. He talks, people listen … and stocks drop when he talks.
