Just saw something that takes me back to the late ’70s, and that’s gas hoarding. A Mercedes SUV tailgate down with five tanks. Gas hoarding. I just can’t believe it.

I think it’s a crying shame that America has gotten to the point where we cannot even enforce our laws anymore. People can start up a protest, burn and loot businesses, destroy police cars, and police are told to stand down. The Bible says lawlessness will abound in the last days. Well, we have a lawless president who does what he wants. So that sets a good example for our next generation, don’t it?

The man’s name is Colin Kaepernick, and if he wants to sit down or kneel down, or do whatever he wants to do during the national anthem, that is his right. And really the only person it affects is him. The HB2 bill affects a lot of people, not just the one person doing it. If it only affected the guys that enacted the policy, sure, no problem. But it affects a lot of other people. And the problem with the bill is not the transgender bathroom part of it, it’s the fact that they took away the public’s right to sue the state because they’re discriminated against. That’s the problem.

They found some more bombs in New Jersey. It’s hard for me to understand why Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are trying to destroy this country. Bringing people in and not knowing nothing about them. I believe if they was brought into a court of law, they’d have a hard time proving that they wasn’t trying to destroy the country. This has been going on overseas for years, and now it’s going on here. And I don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon. Anybody that would vote for Hillary Clinton really needs to have their head examined.

Yeah, Steely Dan Fan Man. Who put somebody who stole from the White House back in the White House?

Good gracious, I’m so angry I could wring her neck.

The reasons that I’m not going to vote for Roy Cooper for governor is, one of the many reasons is he has not stopped the credit card people from calling. He could have done that with either legislation or federal law. He could have got some kind of relief to relieve the people from being bombarded daily, every day, every day of my life, including weekends, I get a call wanting to improve my credit card debt. I don’t have any credit card debt. So I don’t have a problem with it. Consequently, these people are crooks. And they are not going to help anybody but themselves. Consequently, I’m voting for our governor who deserves my vote and my confidence.

Yes, I’m an Uber driver, driving locally in Greensboro for over a year now. And I am amazed by the unbelievably maniacal reckless driving in Greensboro. Number one, there is no patience. Everybody is, basically, in such a hurry. Speeding is rampant. I think traffic speed limits are now suggestions instead of the law. Nobody abides by them. Secondly, they’re following too close behind you. People just get right up on you, basically, and the traffic is not going anywhere. They give you no margin at all whatsoever. And, thirdly, no turn signals. Nobody ever gives turn signals anymore. I mean, basically, you’ve got to have some sort of psychic ability to know when somebody is turning. It’s ridiculous. So, we should put computerized cars, because Homo sapiens cannot drive anymore. They lack the knowledge, the etiquette, the ability of any kind of concern for fellow human beings.

Hey, get this. I just won $20 from a liberal college professor. She and her husband were over for dinner and I happened to wager that the individual who’d be responsible for the bombings in New York here would have brown eyes and a beard. And she refuted it. She said I’m prejudiced, I’m awful and I’m terrible and that probably would not be the case. I said, “OK, let’s put $20 down on it, then.” And she did. And, so, now the New York authorities have released a picture of the person of interest and the people wanted, and the guy I’d seen has brown eyes and a beard. So I called her and left a message, and she hasn’t called back yet. But if she’s honorable, she owes me $20. That’s a big if. I know. But, hey, it’s always gratifying to take money from a liberal. It’s like taking candy from a baby. Just sign me off as An Independent Thinker.

Yeah, I have a small storefront on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. Everybody keeps talking about Trump’s casino closing down. It can’t run. What the reality is, they’re getting ready to build a new one. They’re going to take out the Taj Mahal, what was left of the Playboy/Trump casino. They’re going to actually build a new casino there. It’s scheduled to open in 2018. So they’re actually building a bigger building and going to implode the small building. I thought it was kind of interesting.

I’ve never been at Camp Butner as a patient. I’ve been there. But I do believe there’s plenty of people at Camp Butner, North Carolina, that’s got more sense than Barack Hussein Obama. I’m watching the United Nations. I won’t listen to his voice. I’m reading it off the screen. He says we’ve got to do more to help the refugees. The only thing I know to do is bring them all to Washington, DC. That’s where they need to go. But I don’t think he’s going to go along with that. Or either just give them this whole country and we’ll go over there. This man absolutely is trying to destroy this country. I knew a long time ago he thinks the United States of America is too white.

I’m calling about the pipeline that’s on the East Coast. I’m really surprised that there is not a policy control somewhere all along that line where you have to have a checker, a checkpoint, where you could discover leaks before they really happen. This is such an awful thing that happened up the East Coast. Now we have gas stations closed. Let’s just face it, quality control is really, really important. So let’s have somebody go along that pipeline at regular intervals. Check the pipeline and see that there is no leaks. OK? Have a good day.

I read in the last issue of the Rhino Times that John Hammer feels like the ACC has recently become politicized due to the HB2 bill. The ACC became politicized a long time ago as soon as John Swofford left Chapel Hill and got control of it. And he has stated numerous times that East Carolina, the third largest college, university in the state, would never be in the ACC. If that ain’t politicizing, I don’t know what is.

I don’t know if anybody has seen the most-recent video of Hillary Clinton speaking in Philadelphia, Temple University, where her one eye doesn’t appear to be focused correctly. And it’s throughout the whole speech. So I went and looked up on a website, eye focus, and there is such a problem. But, generally, it occurs in infants. If it occurs in an adult of her age, it did indicate that it’s caused by neurological issues in the brain. So I would hope that some people would take a good, hard look at that video and judge for themselves. Very strange to look at somebody and they can’t focus both their eyes on you. And, also, the same day she was helped to the stage by Secret Service agents, and there is a picture of that online as well.

We must have the dumbest people in the world running the federal government. Whole areas, president on down. For example, 9/11 never would’ve happened if we had closed the borders and had better security. I read in the fish wrap today where more than 800 immigrants were given citizenship. We had better vote for a president who has some guts to run this country or we’ll be in worse shape than what we are.

Hi. I’m calling to report an incident on Twitter that I experienced after watching a live stream of the High Point University rally that the High Point University College Republicans Club hosted for Donald Trump this afternoon. I tweeted on my Twitter account that all the kids were young and beautiful and hopeful looking and full of promise. And I get a tweet back from one of your local residents. But she tweeted back that they just looked like a bunch of privileged white kids to her. So I looked up her information and found out that her store was part of a revitalization project for that area.

Look, North Carolina, we, first of all, need to show the General Assembly up there in Raleigh that we are not going to stand any more for them taking all of the businesses away from North Carolina. Well, Donald Trump said that we don’t have anything new. OK. We don’t, huh? Well, let’s add it up, North Carolina, Greensboro, Charlotte, Raleigh, Chapel Hill. Let’s add it all up.

As I was saying, this HB2 bill has caused North Carolina millions and millions of dollars. You Republicans, Democrats and Independents of North Carolina, of Greensboro or Raleigh or Charlotte and all of our cities, sister cities and brother cities surrounding our area, you need to think real hard before you go to the poll and make your decision. Forget about all the character flaws of Hillary Clinton, and even Donald Trump. Forget about their flaws. Forget about all the mistakes and all the stuff in their past. And look at what they are presenting to the American people. Look at the issue.

God bless this country, but God better help us, because nobody else will be able to. Thank you.

I just got a quick comment about an ad I saw on TV from the New England Shirt Company complaining about Donald Trump making his suits and coats and ties and jackets in other countries. I’d looked at their website, for the New England Shirt Company, and just for a dress shirt, it will cost you anywhere from $125 to $175 for one cotton-picking shirt. Are they kidding? Who could afford that? No wonder Trump has to go overseas and make goods. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m on a beer budget. I ain’t on no Champagne budget.

Three states and 500 miles away a pipeline leaked, causing North Carolina and other states to rely on existing supplies of gasoline. Prices are rising, and we should have reduced our driving. Now this is for the non-fossil energy fans. North Carolina has zero producing oil wells and zero natural gas wells. And if we drill, if we frack, we could create our own supplies and not be at the mercy of outside events. Think about it.

Yeah, I was just wondering, you have these African Americans, some guy jumped out with a gun, and got killed, OK? Now, you’ve got these African Americans tearing up Charlotte, burning stuff down, stopping traffic, and there’s even a Facebook page up talking about organizing for tonight’s event for, basically, I guess, to go looting some more in Charlotte. I’m surprised Facebook hasn’t took it down yet. Now, I’m sitting here wondering, they’re acting just stupid over a guy that had a gun in his hand, OK? What’s going to happen if Trump wins the election? Are we going to have to worry about looting and rioting and destroying stuff then because Trump wins, or what? You know? I’m being sarcastic. But doing my job, I just can’t get over how how out of it some of these people are.

You know, I can’t understand, a black officer shoots a man that’s not complying. All he had to do was obey the officer’s commands and he would still be walking the streets today. And to hear all this hate and everything. All they’ve got to do is comply. It’s very simple. If I was a police officer, a second-generation police officer, and the man had a gun, I’d be the one going home unless he shot me first. And it’s a sad thing to say, and it’s a sad scenario, but it’s the way everyone is made it seems like. It’s just amazing what’s going on in the US. Thank you.

Well, I’ve been sitting here watching TV, and they’re showing about that violence down in Charlotte. And now they’ve called in the National Guard to control it. Well, if these people are protesting that guy getting shot, why aren’t they out in the street doing a protest instead of down there breaking into people’s business? I really truly think they just use the protest as an excuse to get out and break into everybody’s business and steal everything they can get their hands on, because every protest that I have seen on TV, they have done more damage to the people that owns businesses than they have done good for the man that got shot. And I think it ought to be some kind of law against that, but I really truly think they’re just mean people that want to get out and do something mean.

Looks like you’re up to your old trick again of ganging up something and then publishing it as if it were a fact to try to get your readers to believe it is true. You say, quote, reports are, end quote. Hillary Clinton’s game plan is in shambles. Can you validate this by telling us what reports, parentheses, more than one, close parentheses, you refer to? Are they from reliable sources, etc.? If her campaign is in shambles, wouldn’t it be so obvious you could say that it is without saying you contribute it to some vague, quote, reports, end quote?

Yeah, you know this Charlotte stuff is really getting out of control. Night before last they turned over semi-trucks on the highway. Caught them on fire, wrecked cars, all kind of stuff. And they went early in the morning and looted a Wal-Mart and tried to burn it down. I don’t know who would burn a Wal-Mart down. I guess they’re illogical high school dropouts, I guess. But, anyway, then they went out the next night and tried to burn some more stuff down. And what I can’t – if I went on a rampage like that and burning businesses down and looting them, and they looked on the security cameras, I guarantee my behind would be in jail today. I guess they are allowing them to walk the streets even after they got them on video.

I’m calling about the rioting down in Charlotte. I realize y’all won’t print this, but it needs to be said. They need – well, I don’t expect the mayor to do it, because she’s so far out in left field, she don’t know what she’s doing anyway. But I expect somebody to stand up. Maybe the government, and tell these thugs and thieves down there in Charlotte, rioting will not be tolerated in these markets. When they start busting in the doors, they’re stealing, which is the main purpose of the mixed majority of them down there is to tear up everything they can get in their hand. It’s outrageous to watch them tear up police cars and stomp the windshields out on public vehicles that we have to pay for as taxpayers and tear these stores up. These stores haven’t done anything to these thugs. Number one, the man had a gun in his hand …

As far as the HB2 bill, women do have a right to privacy. And they should not be subjected to a man walking into the bathroom and peering over the stalls. But when you talk about a person like that, you’re not talking about somebody from the LGBT community. You’re talking about some kind of a pervert. And there is a difference. If you can’t see that, then something’s wrong with you. As far as the NCAA and the ACC and all the other things pulling their basketball out of North Carolina, good for them. You hit somebody where it hurts, in the pocketbook. And that’s exactly what’s going on. And our folks down in Raleigh don’t seem to care. Thanks.

Friday, Sept. 23, 2016, there have already been three demonstrations in Charlotte, North Carolina, where an African-American policeman is accused of shooting an African-American citizen. In Oklahoma there is a white female American policewoman who shoots an African-American civilian. How come there are not the same protests in Oklahoma as there is in Charlotte, North Carolina?

The Democrats have been exposed now for being the modern-day plantation owners that they are. Just think about it. Poor people have been voting for the Democrats for 55 or 60 years. And guess what? They’re still poor. They’re poor because the Democrats keep them there. That way they’re guaranteed their votes. The Democrats offer the social programs, free rent, free oil subsidies, free groceries. And, oh, by the way, if you get married, you lose it. So there goes the father figure. If you get a job, you lose it. So there goes the career. By the way, keep voting for me and I’ll keep handing you out the social programs. Nothing but modern-day plantation owners to keep poor people down so they can’t, so they cannot, come up.

It’s Saturday, Sep. 24. I didn’t graduate the head of my class in 1953. I’m 81 years old. But I see on television where they opened up this museum in Washington, DC. Money is easy to spend and hard to make. It looks like to me that someone with some kind of authority would have enough knowledge to know they need to take all the stuff that they’ve got in the civil rights museum in downtown Greensboro and carry it up there and let the people that own that building, whoever it is, sell it and get this money trap over. That’s the only sensible thing to do the way cost of living goes up every year. Quit spending the taxpayers’ money on something that’s like pouring in a rabbit hole.
