Squawkbox – August 14, 2025

Tell the truth and shame the devil: Even Fox News admits that Trump’s approval rating is only up among the GOP, aka his MAGA cult members.

How can anyone buy into the stats that large-city police forces are claiming? Almost all are reporting lower crime rates, some by 30% or more. Large-city cops were caught some years ago not reporting many crimes. I think this is the problem again. I guess it makes police departments feel better. 

Great photo of Albany Herald staff in a recent paper. I feel like I know you all and enjoyed being able to put a face with the name of the articles I enjoy reading. Thanks to the journalists and office staff. Congratulations on the recognition of your hard work. 

I went to Sunday School and church enough to know you can’t be a Christian and a Trump supporter any more than you can be a Christian and a Satan worshipper. It’s practically the same thing. I don’t care what your hot-button issues are, there is no excuse, so don’t even try to explain yourselves. That Man Without a Family

If the city made $14 million off the speed cameras, exactly what was the amount those who own the cameras made?

Squawker, you think you know so much. The Real President said himself that his ratings were at 77%, so that’s a fact. If it weren’t for people like you who hate America, his ratings would be 100%. But that’s where it is for the people that matter.

After Trump’s election the Democrats predicted inflation would run rampant and we would be in a deep recession by the end of July. When I woke up this morning it was business as usual and we are enjoying a strong economy. 

I apologize for all the mean, hurtful and very accurate things I have said about Albany city commissioners. May a forensic audit pave your way to jail.

King Randall, the “let’s come together for the greater good” is a different message than before. Your affiliations are the same as those of Jalen Johnson. The messaging is muted and more polished, but it is a Trump-based message being camouflaged and sold in black face.

Trump wants to lower interest rates to make the value of the dollar go down, which will cause a recession. SMRs, you’ve elected a president that wants to put us all in the unemployment line.

The bridge reconstruction project is great for Albany, but traffic downtown is horrendous. It’s that way mostly because of idiot drivers who clog up the left-hand turn lane on Pine, trying to worm their way into the right lane at the traffic light on Front. Learn how to drive, dunces.

This Mr. King, who the county gave $195,000 in taxpayer money for a video, must be happy that the Jefferson Davis Highway marker has been relocated. That will improve Dougherty school test scores, stop all the fatherless babies, stop the senseless shootings, and help get the majority of the population in subsidized housing. You hit a home run getting the marker moved and spending that $195,000.
