Well, Trump is finally our president. And the Republicans can kiss their elephant, and the Democrats can kiss their, er, uh, donkey.

Well, more Beep amusement this week. You need to explain that Social Security is geared toward COLA. That’s c-o-l-a. Two weeks in a row somebody thinks Obama has something to do with the Social Security increase. If you had a Republican in there, you’d put your two-liner in there and explain COLA. I assume you understand how Social Security works connected to COLA. And about the guy that doesn’t like Buffett. Well, most of Trump’s appointees are billionaires. Tell him to buy BRK-B. That’s BRK-B. The caller connecting Obama to Hitler, he needs to understand that Trump’s friend, who happens to be head of Russia, controls newspapers, TVs and magazines, etc.

Good evening. This is the Blue-Eyed Devil. Shout out to Steely Dan Fan. Thanks for new year’s wishes, and back at you. Don’t be surprised if the press is giving Trump a bad one. The Rhino is the only thing that even touches the truth, even though sometimes it leans so far to the right it slides off my coffee table.

The age of post-factual journalism is upon us. The age of Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow doesn’t exist anymore. What the progressives, what the Democrats in particular, and what journalism is reacting to, is the fact that most people of many walks of life see much of the media as propaganda. People aren’t stupid. And people read enough and are exposed to enough information to find out what is selectively left out of newspapers articles, what is selectively left out of any topic of discussion. The entire American media, and European media, fought against Brexit, fought against opposition to Hillary Clinton, and fought for their pet causes from global warming, to climate change, to you name the issue …

So, I’m reading the “Our Opinion” section of the News & Record regarding our outgoing president, Obama, and it’s kind of a cross between being nauseated and overcome with, um, laughter, and having my intelligence insulted at the same time. Then I remembered I quit subscribing to that paper for a reason. So, anyway, I hope they afford the same courtesy to Donald Trump after he’s inaugurated as far as their glowing puff pieces, but I doubt it. Have a good day.

Yes, a great goodbye and farewell to a no-good former president Barack Hussein Obama. He’s an egotistical, self-centered, selfish, conceited, egocentric human being. He always wanted to destroy America, and he hates Israel also. He would destroy Israel if he gets a chance. He is a devil really in the flesh. He is, I believe, he believes in Marxist government. He has been the sorriest president in 69 years of living – 66, I’m sorry. And he is no good, and thank goodness he’s about to get out.

This is for Gay Cheney in Brown Summit. And I’m reading your letter in the News & Record, your opinion piece about Obama and how he’s a fine man and a fine president. I have a gun – actually, I have several guns. And the reason why is because there are bad guys with guns that go around and actually murder the 20 first graders in Connecticut that you’re referring to here. So I have a gun to protect myself, my family, and to let the bad guy know that it’s a two-way conversation if they start shooting at me, because the only option you really have is to shoot back. You may want to shelter in place, that’s your personal business, but I will be shooting back. Also, there’s this other thing called San Bernardino, Chattanooga, Orlando, and those were situations where I think if someone had had a gun, it may not have worked out in the way that it worked out.

Yeah, we just saw the movie Moonlight from 2016. It’s supposed to deal with a guy being raised up in a drug neighborhood and stuff. You know, four of us wanting to go see it, halfway through the movie, we got up and walked out. It was that bad. It’s supposed to be dealing with drug-infested neighborhood with kids trying to raise up and become something, you know? But there’s no shooting in it. There’s no killing in it. You know, it’s nowhere near reality. You know? I live down by a housing project myself off Florida Street, and every night I hear a gun discharge. You know, apparently, cops don’t come out there all the time. But it’s pretty common to hear a gun go off at 2 or 3 in the morning. Just a single shot. Some people just put a gun up in the air and shoot it just to do it, you know? So, by the time the cop showed up, there would be nobody there anyway, because they’re just riding down the street and shot a gun off in the air.

You know what? There are no more foolish people in this world than a professional – an owner of a professional football, basketball or baseball team. These people are so foolish I don’t even have words to even describe how foolish they are. I just heard on the radio a while ago that Curry’s contract is coming up. He’s getting ready to be a free agent, but speculation is he’s going to resign with Golden State, a five-year $210 to $220 million contract. Are you flipping kidding me? To play basketball? Five-year, $220 million. You people are the most foolish bunch I’ve ever seen.

Yes, I’d just like to say this person calling in about getting a raise in Social Security. Mine was a .03, I think, or a 0.3 raise. But that also is the same amount that they raised my Medicare. So I’m paying the same – more for my Medicare. I’m stilling receiving the same amount of Social Security. I didn’t get a raise. They just took it and added it to the Medicare pipe so I would be paying the same thing up there. But no raise in the Medicare. I’m still receiving the same amount. And while I’m at it, fraud should be declared against these people making toilet tissue. They talk about a double roll. What they’re talking about is not even as big as what a single roll used to be. And it’s kind of funny to look at that roll, if you had an old roll to look at. There are not as many sheets, not as wide or anything else, and they call it a double roll.

It looks like to me that anybody that the fifth grade was their senior year to realize that Barack Hussein Obama is absolutely a crook. Now, he wouldn’t sign the oil pipeline and get us some oil. He refused to sign it. However, the EPA has put a restriction on cars, just put it on this week. Today is Jan. 16, to make cars get tremendous more gas mileage, which is going to cost them more, which is going to slow down the sale of cars. They absolutely do not want Trump to prosper. They want this country running backwards. And something should be done about it. I don’t know what else he can do. He’s done everything he can do to try to slow it down: 1.7 percent growth every year he’s in there is what he averages. It should have been about 3 percent or 4.   And people thinks he’s the best thing since the second coming.

Yeah, me and my wife were in Greensboro today at one of the local business clubs. And when my wife and me went into our locker rooms and got ready to get dressed to leave the building, she said a guy came in there and, basically, was hanging out in the lady’s locker room. And she said something to him. He basically said because HB2 is in effect, he has the right to be in there, and they couldn’t do a thing about it. So, my question is, is the H2 bill, does that give the people the right now to go in any bathroom they want? Or was that individual incorrect? Because a lot of people don’t understand what the HB2 bill even is.

I’d called sometime back and said that Obama would go down as the worst president the US has ever had. Now, it’s Jan. 17, and I just see on Fox News that he’s commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning after all the Russian hacking went on, and he was so upset about that. This man gave secrets away. He’s taken lives, and he’s commuted his sentence. No telling what he’s going to do in the next two days he’s going to be up there.

On New Year’s Eve night, the reason Mariah Carey didn’t just go ahead and sing the song is quite simple. The reason is, she can’t sing. If she’s not singing into a voice corrector, and all the different instruments in the studio, she can’t sing. That’s why all these so-called entertainers lip-sync a song, because out of the studio, they can’t sing. They don’t have any quality to their voice. You see, the group of people that produce these records, they can make anybody famous that they want to be famous. They can make anybody sound like they have a beautiful voice whether they can sing a note or not. That’s why most of your entertainers – well, let’s just say so-called entertainers, like Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, and them, that’s why they sing just their own songs.

You know, all week I’ve been trying to get Roy Cooper stuff, just to have since he’s become our new governor. But, anyway, seems like the Democratic headquarters in Forsyth County, I don’t know if they closed down or what. They’re never there. And they never answer the phone. And their answering machine is cut off. If anybody happens to know if any of the Democratic headquarters are still open that didn’t fold that may have some Roy Cooper stuff I could get a hold of, call into the Beep and leave a message on which location it is.

Meryl Streep is not only a joke when it comes to being an actress, she’s also a joke when it comes to being a human being. In her ridiculous speech about Donald Trump, she said, we all know what it’s like to have a grueling day on the set and have to work through dinner. Ah, don’t you feel so sorry for her? My heart pumps purple Kool-Aid for her. I really feel sorry for her. She doesn’t know what it’s like to do a day’s work. Nobody in Hollywood does. They’re all a bunch of jokes. Now, when Donald Trump stops China from dumping their $8.5 billion into Hollywood every year, maybe they’ll all out there go broke, and they’ll have to get an honest job. How hard would everybody laugh? Come on, now. Would that not be funny?

I work for a big box store here in Greensboro. And I noticed that all the department stores, all the businesses, including the government, seems to be discriminate against Muslims, Jews and non-Christians. OK. What I’m getting at is, OK, we get paid the holidays. We have to take Christmas off. We have to take Easter off. We have to take certain holidays. OK? Now, on Christmas Day, Wal-Mart, for example, is closed. Target is closed. OK? Sears is closed. Every big department store and company in the city is closed. OK? Now, this is my example of this. Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah. The Muslims have a separate holiday. Basically, every belief has its own separate date.

I’ve noticed that one of the ex-candidates that ran for City Council, apparently, he has a girlfriend or wife that works at one of the news agencies as a reporter. And I’m wondering is, if he runs for City Council this election coming up, he hasn’t ran anything for office for a while, I’m not going to say his name. If you look at the previous candidates, and you look at the name of the reporters, or some of the news agencies around here, you can figure it out yourself. But, apparently, this is his wife. I’m wondering if he runs for City Council now that he has a wife that works for a local news agency, I wonder if they will be prejudiced to him and give him more coverage, or give him more non-negative coverage, because his wife works for that news agency.

I’m 81 years old, and I’ve got a real bad head cold. However, I had a spurt of getting better, on the medicine I’m taking. The announcer on Fox News just said tonight is Barack Hussein Obama’s last night in the White House. I’ve been waiting to hear that for eight years.

Hello, Beep. It’s been a while since I’ve called in. But I was just looking at the Democrats who are going to boycott the presidential inauguration. And it just kind of funny. It’s like a bunch of kids out on the playground. And one of the kids never does win. So he runs home and tells his daddy. He says, Daddy, and he’s crying, he says, Daddy, they don’t let me win. Daddy says, well, let’s just don’t play with them anymore if they’re going to be like that. And, you know, that reminds me of these Democrats. You know? Hillary didn’t win. Of course, she didn’t. She lost. Donald Trump won. But, you know, they run home and Chuckie Schumer, he says, well, let’s just don’t play with them anymore if they’re going to be like that. If we can’t win, then we’re not going to play with them anymore. They’re not our friend. Thank you for taking this call.

I have figured out who the deplorables are. It’s the fools that are out here protesting. Wait a minute. Rioting. They are nothing but rioting. Rioters. It is the pathetic. Get over yourself. He’s going to be our president for the next four years whether you like it or not. If you don’t like it, get on a plane, go to North Korea or wherever, Canada. They probably don’t want you. Go wherever you want to go if you don’t like it. Goodbye. Good riddance. So, get on a plane and go somewhere.

As the drama queen feminists revel in feel-good marches and demonstrations, they chant “my body, my choice.” It’s nice to know that they’re against mandatory motorcycle helmet laws, isn’t it?

Listening to Donald Trump’s speech today is the first time in over eight years I’ve felt good about the future of America. I’d like to say to all those who dislike Trump and want to stir up trouble, you’ve got two choices. Suck up and get over it like we did with Obama or pack your stuff and leave the country. A lot of people would like to see you go. Thank you very much, Beep. Bye.

Hello, Rhino. Hello, Reid. Well, there’s a new sheriff in town. And this one appears to have a backbone. One of the things I like about President Trump, he doesn’t always let his right hand know what his left hand is doing. In other words, he doesn’t tell everybody all his business. A fact. This is most important concerning national security and military strategy. Southern Guilford and Otis here. We like saying President Trump.

Hey there, Rhino. In regards to the Old Vietnam Veteran from Southern Guilford who said hello to Otis last week, Otis says hello right back at you. I’d like to say, I think people from southern Guilford behave differently from other parts of the county. Most of us here follow a simple rule. Don’t start trouble and there won’t be any. From one veteran to another, I’m glad we made it back home alive. Sincerely, Southern Guilford County and Otis.
