Tuesday Squawkbox

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Inept leadership, criminal acts, nepotism, graft and just plain old dysfunctional human behavior is what Albany’s majority voting block has gifted us with. Lee County looks awfully tempting.

SMRs, don’t buy that Trump Bible. The last chapter ends with the disciples storming Jerusalem to overturn the results of the crucifixion.

A squawker said and I agree, “The recipe for streets full of career criminals is to arrest them and return them with no bail to continue their life of crime.” This is why Trump should be in jail now awaiting his four trials versus being allowed to daily victimize this country’s citizens and institutions.

Neither the cover story about “Food Truck Frenzy” nor the article about “Empty Bowls” in the weekend edition of the Herald indicated when either event occurred. Please tell me this isn’t the new journalism. How is this acceptable?

IDK why it’s called the Saturday newspaper; I never get mine until Monday afternoon.

I guess the county revised the EMS policy to make sure Heard can’t hook up his preacher friend with ambulances at the race track again.

Scott Ludwig’s column “Selling salvation to the true believers,” captured perfectly the depth and breadth of Trump derangement. And the sad thing is that his cult is clueless about how far down the rabbit hole they actually are.

I was a fan of Tara’s when she was on the radio and love her pictures and stories in The Herald. But reading of her efforts to quietly help others made me respect her even more. Happy birthday, Tara. Thank you for the good you do.

The older I get, the more I come to realize that I don’t care what the heck Squawkers think.

I don’t think the Squawks in Saturday’s paper were worth double printing. Somebody dropped the ball.

Loved the story about cats. I have 7. I live on a small horse farm and most of my cats were dumped here. All are fixed. I happen to be a cat lover, so all these cats love and trust me. Cats are truly loving creatures, but you have to earn their love and trust.

At some point, our city and county commissioners are going to have to do the hard work. You can’t just attend meetings, collect a paycheck, and expect to be re-elected. Help recruit businesses. Motivate code enforcement. Encourage APD to be more active and visible. Stop your laziness.

Nice column, Fletcher. Anybody who loves good music and writes from his heart can’t be all bad.

Opinion: If the Bible is not the unique, sovereign holy God’s revelation of Himself and salvation to a lost humanity through Jesus the Christ, then go buy yourself a Trump Bible, cancel your plans for eternity, be happy. If, however, God is and it is, Whoa!

Way to go, Tara. We sure need a lot more people like you. Hope you had a happy birthday.

Why is Gloria Gaines and the felonious four wasting my tax dollars on a countersuit? Is it to further enrich her Atlanta lawyer friend?

I sure miss George Jones, Tom Petty, Warren Zevon and Charlie Daniels.
