If the governor doesn’t send some people down to Albany to look into the illegal practices — especially in spending taxpayer money — the thieves and conmen (and women) on the city and county commissions are doing, they’re going to bleed us dry.

We might as well just come out and say it: The mayor and city commission just stole $2 million of our tax money to give to a group who shows no remorse in taking our hard-earned money for themselves. Some of them have done it before.

It was a very smart move for the Dougherty County Sheriff’s Department to decline the invitation to appear on “Dateline” for the Feb. 27 broadcast on the Jake Embert murder. At least they are not part of the laughingstock. The district attorney and the coroner really looked incompetent. It was embarrassing for us that live here.

SMRs, Trump and the amateurs running our government have caused the price of gas to skyrocket.

You do know that Trump went bankrupt seven times? One of his bankrupt ventures was a casino. Note to self: The vast majority of gamblers do not win at casinos. So he is at it again. This time his trumped-up war is bankrupting the USA. BTW, the price of gas, which impacts just about everything, was $2.53 at Walmart on Feb. 27. On March 11, the price per gallon of unleaded is $3.45.

If you believe “God has appointed our president to do His bidding on Earth,” you are not only delusional but suffer from TDS. No matter how many times fake Christians lay hands on/pray for Trump, until he confesses his own sins and accepts Christ as his savior, he is lost. A tree is known by the fruit that it bears.

The grotesque statements leaked by NPR of Trump trying to force himself on a 13-year-old girl and then hitting her when she did not comply should be shouted from the rooftops. This man is not only an imbecile, he is a child molester.

Not only are the mayor and most of the Albany City Commissioners guilty of trying to give the brewery back to a man who owes the city $2 million-plus, they just voted to give $2 million to a group that will no doubt leave them again holding the bag. No problem, though, it’s our money, not theirs.

Trump’s endorsement of a candidate in Georgia tells me not to vote for that person. Never forget: Trump tried to insert himself into our elections which resulted in three recounts and no voter fraud. High gas and food prices are my main concerns.

The only way to stop news about Epstein is to start a war in Iran.

That’s an impressive cabinet group collected by ASU President Robert Scott. I’m looking forward to seeing my alma mater continue to grow.
