The Democrats want us to welcome the illegal immigrant at the border and welcome them in our country with open arms. They don’t want to stop anybody from coming into the country. They say we should welcome everyone. But they have no problems stopping the babies that they don’t want from coming into the country through the womb of their mother. They have no problem aborting and killing the babies they don’t want in this country, but yet they want to welcome the illegal immigrants with open arms. But keep in mind, the babies can’t vote. Thank you.

City and county governments need to revamp their pay scales. The employees should get paid for what they produce instead of just showing up. Run it like a business instead of a giant welfare program and give employees for the city, for the county and for the government who do not do anything and receive a paycheck, isn’t that nothing but a welfare program? And we know that’s going on. Thank you.

I see where the leader of North Korea has came down to South Korea and they’re shaking hands and they’re going to try to actually put an end to the Korean War. All of this is because of Donald J. Trump. How these other news, and how people can set and watch these news that tried to belittle him, some of them trying to throw him out of office, you would have to educate them to get them in Camp Butner. They ought to back this man. This country should back Trump whether you like him or not. He is the president of the United States, and he’s getting things done.

I notice the big brothers and big sisters of Greensboro are not letting a tragedy go to waste. By that I mean, the tragedy that the tornado victims have just recently experienced by losing their homes. So, the brothers and sisters of Greensboro say, oh, yeah, you can tear your house down if you want to if it’s not livable. But, first, you’ve got to jump through a few hoops. Number one, you’ve got to buy a building permit. Oh, my goodness. Got to buy a building permit so that you can put a little bit more money into the coffers of the wasteful spenders of the city and the county. And, you know, I think they should put this on the next campaign slogan: I charged the tornado victims a building permit, and see if that would get them reelected. Thank you, Beep, for taking the call. Bye.

Editor’s Note: The city has waived the electrical permit fees, but not the building permit fees.

Hey, Rhino, did you notice that when Pence came to town, our vice president, that none – our Democrat mayor, and none of the Democrat councilmembers, and you know who you are, walked around with him. But, boy, when our Democrat governor came to town, you guys were knocking each other out of the way so you could be seen on TV walking around with him, arm in arm, singing “Kumbaya.” And you know who you are. I can’t believe that you got reelected mayor, because I dang sure didn’t vote for you. You people need to stop this political crud and roll your sleeves up and work together for this place and this country and quit trying to divide us all the time. That’s all you people do.

Mother Nature sure has a real nice way of redirecting people’s attention away from tearing things down to building things back up real quick, and it’s a thing of beauty.

If you play the lottery, the odds of winning on a Pick 3 is a one out of a thousand. On a Pick 4, it’s one out of 10,000. On a pick five, it is one out of a billion. The Powerball is in the trillions. If you are throwing your money away, also, why are the schools always out of money with the lottery?

Yes, this concerns Roy Carroll over here last week. Our darling mayor and all the people that run our fair city decided they didn’t want to go ahead with his plans on building the parking deck. This is a power struggle. They are afraid to let any one person, in this case Mr. Carroll, get too much power and say-so on how to run our fair City of Greensboro. It’s a power struggle. That’s all it is. The other one was when our dear governor came over here to the tornado zone, he was surrounded by our fair-minded mayor, Nancy Vaughan, and all her entourage people there around her. A couple of days later when the second in command, Vice President Pence is in town for a fundraising, he went over there. None of the bigwigs around him. So this partisan politics that reeks out, it’s just not good.

I’m calling about the correspondents’ dinner that took place Saturday night. I’d like to say this. The lady that got up there and cussed about Donald Trump and all his team members and everything, how dare her to do such a thing? You know? This man, Donald Trump, has not got a break since he took office. It’s been the deep state. It’s been Bob Mueller. It’s been one thing after another. They have totally – the media has bashed this man since he took office. There’s been not one, not one thing good said about him at all. You know, if this was Barack Obama, and that girl got up there and said stuff about him, cussed him and everything else, we would have had a riot out here. You know, I think it’s totally a shame that all this is going on, and we’ve got all this stuff going on in our country with North Korea, China, Russia, and all this stuff, and these people are bashing our president.

Shame on the new board of directors of the Greensboro Elks Club for pulling the plug on its weekly bingo game. Whatever happened to fact checking and fairly presenting both sides of the issue?

These migrants from Central and South America were given asylum in Mexico. And they passed the most peaceful democracy in all of Latin America, Costa Rica. These people are country shoppers. They are here for economic and personal gain. They are not fleeing conflict, because they’ve passed up at least two safe havens. They’re country shopping. Same as Middle Eastern refugees traipsing across all of the Balkans, all of Eastern Europe to go where? To Germany. And to go where? To France. And to go where? To Norway and Finland. They pass up safe havens. And they’re country shopping, because they could have just as easily in the Middle East gone to Jordan, or Saudi Arabia, same thing here folks. A few comments from your friendly neighborhood immigration specialist.

I just got back from going up to the VA facility in Kernersville where I wanted to get my hearing aid repaired. I have a hearing aid because on Jan. 27, 1968, I was in Vietnam and was hit by a rocket round 12 feet from me that took out my hearing on both sides. I have bilateral hearing loss and four of my teeth were damaged. But I took that. And when I came back from Vietnam to El Toro, California, and got aboard a plane and flew back to Scranton, Pennsylvania, and was sitting there waiting for my uncle to pick me up, a lady came over and said I was a baby killer, and I took that. But, you know, today, I’m 71 years old, and there is only one-third of us left of the Vietnam era vets.

Continuing. And I thought to myself, why am I going to have to wait six weeks to have my hearing aid repaired when I know 1,000 people or more are going to cross our border. They’re going to get welfare, food stamps, maybe Social Security, maybe even get their teeth fixed. And you know what? Maybe even get a hearing aid. And I don’t think I don’t need to take that no more.

A further observation on the small group arriving at the border in California from South America. Did you happen to notice the flags they were waving, these oppressed people fleeing revolution and fleeing conflict? You know what they were waving? That’s the flag of Honduras, folks. Those oppressed people who trek all the way from Central America to our border to demand their rights to get into our country. They’re not waving the flag of freedom. They’re not waving the American flag. They’re not flying Old Glory, folks. That’s the Honduran flag. That tells you exactly what these people are about. It’s a PR stunt. If anything, it’s country shoppers. And the true deserve-it people are standing in line at the embassy, every embassy in our foreign service.

To all the people waving Honduran flags on our border wall there in California, I just want to remind you of the address of the US embassy in Honduras: Avenida La Paz, Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Telephone number is 504-22369320. And they’ll give you the visa section, and you can get in line with the rest of your countrymen. Sorry, you were misinformed by a bunch of activist lawyers. The head of the line begins in Honduras.

According to a study conducted by Nottingham Trent University in the UK, liberals and conservatives differ in how they determine whether a news story is true or not. While conservatives tend to trust their gut instinct or intuition, liberals are – and these are the scientists’ exact words – guided by exaggerated feelings of moral superiority. So there you have it. That feeling of being surrounded by insufferably smug self-satisfied saints at Starbucks was true after all. Just sign me off as An Independent Thinker.

That police officer at the Parkland County High School shooting that refused, or was too much of a coward to go in the school and try to stop the shooting, he needs to go to prison for the rest of his life. He needs to be yanked of his retirement benefits and serve time for the rest of his life. Because of his cowardly act there are students decomposing in their graves right now because of him. I wonder how many times in his 30-year career he was called a hero. Just think about it.

I’m watching Hannity. They had the man on. Didn’t have one thing on him, and Mueller pulled him up – $125,000 legal fee. He had to sell his home to pay it off. This is a Democrat thing. Everybody’s that’s graduated from the second grade knows they did not like the way the election came out. So they’re trying to destroy the United States of America. When they destroy Donald Trump, that’s what they’re doing. How anybody could vote a Democrat ticket, after seeing what they’ve done, is beyond anything I can comprehend.

The outrageous statement made by the godless, extreme whacko ultra, ultra-liberal governor or lunatic amoral California concerning the holy Bible reminded me of a statement my late father told his son growing up when he was in basic training in Fresno in early 1942. Shortly after finishing radio school there, he was sent to an Eighth Air Force base south of London with the 93rd Bomb Group. My father said, quote, the people out there march to the beat of a different drummer, end of quote. Keep in mind, this was early 1942. Apparently, what we see and hear about California now is nothing new, just more extreme, unhinged and is as liberal as you can possibly imagine. I wouldn’t live out there for all the money in the world.

I just sure am glad that they gave us that $1.5 million for the museum up there. And now I think Duke Power has just furnished the power free. And then if it’s got gas heat in it, I think Piedmont ought to let us have the gas free. And that way the higher-ups can enjoy all that extra money they can get and go on a good vacation. They deserve that. I sure appreciate the council doing that. They’re really smart people up there. Thank you.

Yeah, Kim Jong Un is playing Trump. He’s not going to give up his nuclear weapons after all the trouble he went through to get them built. He’s just done with the program. He’s finished. And the only reason Kim Jong Un is playing nice with South Korea is so he can take over the whole country and be president. So Trump is getting played.

This is for my Democrat friends that go to church, pay their bills, carry their Bible, put their children through college and live a decent life. Do you think God would be happy that Trump has maybe finally going to get the Korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons and get three people that’s held in prison to come home? Do you think that would make God happy? You believe in God. And do you believe he would be happy that Hillary Clinton paid somebody $12 million when she was running for president of United States to fix a lie, a pure-white lie. She knew it was a lie. And she done that trying to win. Do you believe in divine intervention? When something happens that isn’t supposed to happen, that’s what they claim it is. So, look at this election. Everybody thought Hillary was going to win. But she didn’t win. And she shouldn’t have won it.

Folks, just when you think the Democrats can’t get any more bizarre, extreme and ridiculous, now Bernie Sanders is making noise that he will probably run for president in 2020. He never was an Independent as far as I’m concerned. I understand that he said he will guarantee a government job for anyone who is looking for work if elected. However, he didn’t explain how all that would work out. That reminds me of a line in another of my favorite World War II movies, The Devil’s Brigade in 1969 with the late Claude Akens. I liked what he said in there, quote, lend me your hat; I think I’m going to vomit, end of quote. Sorry, Bernie. I never felt the Bern and never will with you. Just retire and ride off into the sunset. Leave us decent people alone.

Hello, Beep. Well, another nice day in Greensboro. I just want to make a statement. I know you won’t print nothing I call in anyway. I think I’m going to try Fox News. But all these people in these big dump trailers, hauling bobcats in them, and them other big huge trailers that haul backhoes, they don’t have any tags on them. I have to buy tags for my trailer. And the cars don’t have any tags on them. So, if there is any truck drivers out there that reads this, if you‘ll print it, I don’t think you should have to buy tags for those road tractor trailers, those big long ones or anybody that does grading or whatever, hauls them bobcats and backhoes and stuff, and bulldozers, don’t buy no tag. Don’t put no tags on it.

I called in a few times complaining about how poor people are discriminated against. And someone called in on their high horse wanting to know exactly what did I want done. Well, I see now where someone is trying to get some property rezoned to put low-income housing on Muirs Chapel Road in a fairly nice neighborhood. Well, now you see what I want. And it looks like it’s going to happen. And it might just be because of the times that I called in and maybe I put a bug in someone’s ear. So, my hat is off to the person developing the property, putting low-income housing on Muirs Chapel Road. My hat is off to them. People might see that poor people can also be good neighbors.
