Congressman Howard Coble would be the best name for our airport. He served our community, our state faithfully for over 30 years. He was loved by everyone. I can’t think of a better person to have an airport named after than Congressman Coble. He was loved by everyone, black or white. There’s your answer to the highway airport situation. Thanks.

I ask all concerned citizens go to YouTube and hear the speech Mark Robinson gave to the Greensboro City Council a few days ago. Hooray for him and God bless his sentiments in putting in their place the councilmembers who forget or never knew the rights of the common citizen and the Constitution. We ought to require them to individually walk alone on a late Saturday night in the more dangerous parts of town and let them see first hand what the police and law-abiding people have to put up with.

Am I the only one who’s sick of schoolteachers whining about how little they’re paid? Their average salary here in North Carolina is over $50,000 a year, which isn’t bad for a part time job dealing with kiddies. And let’s tell the truth, our educators are not doing a very good job of educating, are they? We consistently finish about 27th or so in international testing, with many third world countries outperforming us despite spending a tiny fraction of what we spend. So a lack of funding is not the problem. Could it be incompetent and indifferent educators who are grossly overpaid? Teachers in Arizona, Kentucky and Oklahoma are threatening to go on strike as I speak. Go ahead, and lead more parents into homeschooling and private schools. Better yet, if you think you’re underpaid, go find a better job. Or maybe you know that it’s true what they say – those who can, do; those who can’t, teach. Just sign me off as An Independent Thinker.

John Hammer, you’re at it again. You are proving to be a liar and a man without honor. I know you get tired of hearing me talk about Barack Hussein Obama and his name being used in that manner each time you printed Under the Hammer. When asked about it, you said you always use the president’s full name. A couple of times you said Donald John Trump, but I knew that it was a lie. Because all you’re doing is pandering to your audience. At minimum, you’re a coward. But at maximum, you’re a pure unadulterated literary liar.

Editor’s Note: I began using the full name of the president with William Jefferson Blythe Clinton. I also used George Walker Bush and Barack Hussein Obama’s middle names. But John is so boring, I’ve grown tired of middle names.

I think Trump should give his salary to build the border and, plus, maybe some more money. And, then, appeal to all – or a lot of the other very wealthy people to donate large amounts of money to build the wall. And, then, have – after he gets all the money he can that way, have all a lot of dinners for profit and get more money. And, then, ask all Americans to donate whatever they can and want to to build the wall. The people that care enough about the wall to donate. I mean, even if half of America of the USA just donated $1, it would help. And this could be another way of extending.

For the life of me, I cannot believe that even in loony toons, ungodly, ultra-ultra-liberal California, the people that live in the district that Maxine Waters supposedly represents, are dumb enough to continue to reelect this lunatic woman. I think that speaks volumes about the people that live out there on the left coast. Maxine Waters has truly earned the title, as far as I’m concerned, as a national disgrace. God help the people she supposedly represents. I actually feel sorry for them.

Happy Easter, Beep. I see the Democrats are really shooting their self in the foot. Trump has offered them a deal to extend the DACA privileges for money for the wall and they’re not wanting to go for it. I don’t see how anybody could vote Democrat again. I mean, their just obstructionists. That’s all there is to it.

Yes, I was up in Virginia this weekend, and I bought me some scratch-offs up there, of course. And I just wanted to thank North Carolina lottery people that they only give us four chances to win on our scratch-offs. But in Virginia, they give you five chances to win across the line there. You have three lines of five each. So 15 chances there. North Carolina used to do that, I believe. They cut it down to four because they got greedy. There’s no telling. They’re liable to cut it to three before long. We’ve got some of the greediest people there is, I guess, down there running these things, taking most of the money for their selves, too. They need to do something different about this thing.

This comment is for the person that called in about no men. And she quoted a Bible verse stating that there was – about no men. She was talking about somebody else that called in not long ago stating that there was – about some kind of men. I’d like to put this in perspective and say this: It’s the Democrats that do not want men. They’re putting men down at every angle regardless of color. It doesn’t matter if they’re white, they’re black, they’re Latino, if they’re Mexican, whatever. They do not want men. They’re putting men down at every angle. And for this caller that was in the Beep last week to quote a Bible verse, you know, stating this, I’d like to tell that person that women are married. We want our men. We want men. We do not denigrate men. We cherish our men.

Yes, looking at the cover page of your March 29 edition with Sheriff BJ Barnes, and I see the headlines: “Top Law Enforcement Officials Seek School Shooter Solutions.” What school shooters would these be? I’ve done some research. I can’t find any school shootings in Guilford County Schools in the last 140 years. So, I’d say whatever it is they’re doing, just keep doing it. We seem to have a zero-percent number of school shootings.

Don’t you unwitting Trump supporters ever wonder why Trump blames the Democrats for everything but yet he’s only firing lifelong Republicans that are investigating him. Republicans that he’s firing. Does that make any sense? He’s doing everything he can to get rid of that investigation. And all his buddies, the 19 indictments, four guilty pleas. Either Trump is an idiot or have no idea they were doing all that, if you believe that – he knows all about it. And if he didn’t know about it, then why in the heck would he hire them to work with him in the White House to begin with?

High Point city leaders are addicted to High Point University. High Point University expansion has cost the city tax revenue. Between the expansion and this ridiculous stadium, tax collections will be low. Where will the needed revenue come from? And just think, HPU is spearheading the stadium as well. How much of a property tax increase will it take to make up the shortfall? How many city employees will lose their jobs to make up the difference? How much will our city services increase? Don’t mention the federal cut in programs – food stamps, child care, Medicaid, Medicare. Many will lose employment as well as services from these cuts, these cuts are implemented. The City Council is here for the citizens of High Point, not High Point University.

Poverty in South America most not be that bad. Taking a look at the 1,200 or so foreigners marching toward the border through Mexico saying they have some bizarre right to arrive in the US without having to file for visas. Well, I don’t see that many skinny people. I don’t see that many at all. They look very well-nourished to me. In fact, most of them are what most people would consider to be fat. You know, any refugees who’s gone through hardship is not going to end up being fat. So it’s a total scam orchestrated by heaven knows who, somebody on the left, somebody in the media. This is a grandstanding political move to affect US policies.

I’m calling about that it’s time for tax time now. And I’d like to know this. You know, the other night on the news we saw Al Sharpton up there fanning the flames where that young man got shot. Because he owed so many amounts of money on his taxes, has he paid his taxes yet. And if not, why not? Because we, the American people, have to pay our taxes, or the IRS comes after us and takes away our property, seizes our checking account, puts a thing on our checks so we can’t get out checks from our employment, and all this, that and the other. And I want to know why he has not paid his taxes. Because it’s not fair that he can be on TV, up there flapping his gums, and he owes taxes.

I know this isn’t get much coverage in the mainstream fake news media, but has anyone picked up on the fact that 44 Congress people have allowed their computers to be hijacked by this guy hired by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the woman who lied numerous times and still remains a congresswoman in Florida. Can’t understand how anybody in Miami in that area would vote for her. But that seems to be a trend among Democrats that you vote for people who are not above board. Just look at Blumenthal, three times that he lied about being in Vietnam, and he’s a senator in Connecticut. You got Warren in Massachusetts who won’t take the test to make sure she’s an Indian.

I think one of the best things I’ve seen said on TV recently was, I think it was Mark Levin, he said that Americans have to go to an airport in our country and take off our shoes and be screened to board an airplane. Yet Democrats, apparently, think it’s OK for 1,200 random people from Honduras, Guatemala, maybe even the Middle East, to walk into this country and get asylum. I think that all of those people, personally, would be great if they were sent to neighborhoods where Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi live.

Robert Mueller has publicly stated that Trump is not a target of his investigation. But his investigation, nevertheless, remains. I would say, Mr. President, redouble your skepticism regarding this dubious cohort of Democrats. I wouldn’t trust Mueller as far as I could throw him.

Channel 8 is showing the march in Washington because of racism. We just had a black president voted in two times, total of eight years. A black attorney general, two of those. I don’t believe that all the black people voted them in. I believe there must have been some white people somewhere that voted for this black president. I do not get where they’re coming from on the racism.

Well, I went to Memphis. I took a tour around Memphis. One of the locations they took us to was to the Martin Luther King place where he had been shot. We got to tour the room, and everything. And I was a little disappointed. Come to find out, I was talking to the – one of the, I guess you would say caretakers. Apparently, after he had gotten killed, that room had been rented out to quite a lot of people afterwards. It was a motel before it went out of business. And, apparently, the mattresses, the sheets and everything in the room is not even the original that were in the room when he got killed. Apparently the original mattress in there, they rotated the mattresses out between rooms and they flip them over. So they’re not even sure which room the original mattress would even be in if they even have it anymore.

It’s Friday night, and I was watching Hannity. He was showing what all Jimmy Kimmel has done and how vulgar he is. Jimmy Kimmel, undoubtedly, did not watch Red Skelton that used to never offend anybody, could get laughs, a real good comedian, and he has to resort to this. If that’s what the Democrat Party has become, that’s what it is, and he’s got to be one of them, because that’s all he talks about is offending the president’s wife, the way she talks, if that’s what the Democrat Party is coming to, I’m really glad that 30 years ago I decided to change over to Republican. And I can’t see churchgoing people that believe in right and wrong could team up with such a bunch of trash as he is.

Crazy Uncle Joe Biden, please don’t embarrass yourself anymore than you already have. Your time has come and gone, Joe. The very fact that you have announced that you are considering running for the highest office in the land in 2020 speaks volumes about today’s lunatic, extreme left-wing, wacko Democratic Party. Forgive me, Joe, for being so blunt, but I wouldn’t vote for you for dogcatcher, or any other Democratic candidate for that matter.

Hello. I’m calling in response to this beep about poor people and they are people too, with dreams and aspirations, and they want the finer things in life. This is the second or third time this person has called in. First it was about they want apartments and they want nicer neighborhoods, which they speak of that in here. And it’s not their fault because they’re poor. And this, that and the other. And it’s just basic math, this person says. I’d like to comment on this. Poor people are that way sometimes because they had no education. That’s not our fault. And they talk about rich people. What is this person, what do they want, you know? I’d like to know, what does this person want? They want builders to build Section 8 apartments. That’s not going to happen in these nice neighborhoods. These nice neighborhoods, taxes are so high that the homeowners can barely pay for them as it is.

Hey, I’m registered as a Republican. I do volunteer work at some of the campaign stuff. And we have an issue on this side of the state. The only Republican headquarters that’s open is in Greensboro. It’s only open one day a week. The problem with this is you have candidates from Davie, Davidson, Forsyth. You’ve got them from Winston, Thomasville, Lexington, Salisbury and some of the other cities around here that have nowhere to put their signs at. So everybody is trying to get them over to Guilford County Republican Headquarters, because it’s the only one that seems to be open except for Raleigh and Charlotte. But what the issue is, they’re only open one day a week. So, even if the candidates take their signs to the next county over, and put them in the GOP headquarters, and just send people over there to get them, they’re never there but one day a week.

I’m so sick of hearing of the danger of some of these jobs, how these people put their life on the line 24/7. First of all, the only person doing that is the people fighting on the front lines in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. That’s the only people putting their life on the line 24/7. Secondly, anybody who leaves their house in the morning and goes to work is putting their life on the line. Because anybody could be killed in a car wreck, anybody can be a victim of an attack at any part of town at any time. So let’s just give credit where it’s due, OK? Enough is enough about all these so-called heroes who actually really do nothing and get paid for it. I get sick of hearing about it.
