This election is not a guarantee for Trump. He needs every single vote he can get, especially in North Carolina. Any no vote, refusal to vote, third party Libertarian or other one is a wasted vote. It’s a vote for Hillary. With Trump, at least, there is a chance for a conservative Supreme Court justice appointment. But there is no chance with Hillary. If you want immigration laws to be enforced, it has to be Trump. If you want Syrian refugees vetted, it has to be Trump. Trump is not the greatest candidate, but he’s all we’ve got. There’s at least a chance he can change for the better. There is no chance for Hillary changing or doing anything except continuing to destroy the country. Think. Wake up, millennials. Don’t waste a vote.

Hillary Clinton’s recent comment that one-half of Donald Trump’s supporters are deplorable is not only a really stupid campaign move, it’s simply not true in the strongest way possible. Trump supporters are not deplorable. They, like Trump himself, are simply mentally ill and deserve the same dignity and respect that all US citizens with mental illness or extreme personality disorders are afforded. How ironic it is that one of Hillary’s most-important initiatives is to create greater access to, and the improvement of, mental health care for everyone. Even though Clinton and Trump are having a brutally heated campaign, it is admirable that Hillary would be championing the mental health that is so needed by Trump and all of his supporters. Bravo Hillary.

Yeah, as a veteran, I’m pretty upset that Joe Biden chose to insert himself into this post traumatic stress disorder situation. I have PTSD, 30 percent from the VA. I know a lot of the guys I served with in Vietnam have the same problem. It’s real, very real. But what Joe Biden says was phony. Trump didn’t say anything that was offensive. Even the person who asked the question said so. So, why is Joe Biden – we’re not electing Joe Biden, first of all. We’re not electing Barack Obama. We’re not electing Michelle Obama. We’re not electing Bill Clinton. But that’s all we see on the trail. We’re electing Hillary Rodham Clinton, OK? Who sends out these surrogates to say anything and everything they want?

I would like to know how Hillary Rodham Clinton thinks that she is going to send all of these kids to college for nothing. How are all of these immigrants coming over here going to get a pass for nothing? How are they going to feed the ones that are her followers now? I do not hear nothing ever said about what’s going to be done for senior citizens, people that were born back in the ’30s, and the ’40s, and the ’50s, especially the ’30s that went to work for 50 cents an hour, or 75 cents an hour, and maybe we got a nickel raise every year. We’re the ones that contributed to the Medicare system. We don’t never get no recognition for nothing. It’s all taken away from us.

Mr. Chuck Mann, I’d also like to say, too, if a person is dumb enough to point a gun at a police officer, then I’m sorry. In that particular case, he deserves to be shot, because he’s not a victim of the system. In that case, he’s a victim of his or her own stupidity. And, second of all, you have people that have to be taken down, because they’re a threat to other people. I recently saw an episode tonight on TV about a serial killer back in 2013 who decided he was going to take it out and kill all police officers because he felt like people were being prejudiced against him. And somebody like that, you have to take down sometimes by gun, even though they didn’t have to. He ended up committing suicide.

I happened to notice that there is a full-page ad in regards to House Bill 2. I’m just curious to why you even printed that ad in the paper with this being a conservative paper. I’m surprised that you allowed that to be put in the paper. Also, it seems like to me Greensboro is more concerned with losing money from these people that’s pulled out rather than to protect the privacy of individuals, especially women and children. I just want to make a comment about that, because I don’t care what they say. And they can sugarcoat it all they want. But a boy does not belong in a girl’s bathroom, period. Nor do they belong in a girl’s locker room.

I watched that thing about the video, and Mayor Vaughan, and Chief Scott. If that wasn’t the biggest put on I’ve ever seen. They was the biggest put on I’ve ever seen. They won’t get rid of that policeman. In that neighborhood, who called to start with to say somebody had breaked in the house? If I was a man trying to break in a garage door, if that was his mama’s house, why didn’t he have a key? And who owned that truck across the street? Nobody never come out of the houses. I’ve never seen anything that had to do with a white policeman and blacks where everybody wasn’t trying to see what was going on. Nobody come out of none of those houses. And when he started to screaming and hollering up there at that meeting, which it should have never been done, it should have been a room with a judge showing that video. And she telling them that she was going to clear the courtroom. Then she said, please, be quiet, apologizing. That’s crazy. That was handled all wrong.

It beats me again on that video. I watched that whole thing, and all he asked for was the phone. Why didn’t he just let the man use that phone? That was all it was. What does he got to hide? I never saw him hit that man. The policeman never hit him. When he had him on the porch, he would finally do what he was asked to do. Then when they got him on the porch trying to handcuff him, he wouldn’t be still. And he kept saying, don’t hit me anymore, don’t hit me anymore. He never hit him. If somebody was hitting you in the heat, you’d be wiggling and moving. He was never moved. He just lay there screaming, don’t hit me no more. He never hit him. Then when they let him talk, that one guy told Mayor Vaughan that the chief of police, what we had in Charlotte, we’re going to bring to Greensboro. And guess whose fault that is? Mayor Vaughan sits on her behind. That chief of police we’ve got won’t do nothing about these fools. They’re just wrong.

Did you ever think you would see the day when the football coaches can’t do anything with the players? Did you ever think you would see the day when the players would not even listen to the coaches, that the players did what they wanted to do and the coaches don’t have any control over them whatsoever? They can’t even make them stand for the national anthem. They can’t even make them not hold their fists up in the air. They can’t do it.

So some caller is offended that I won $20 from a bleeding heart liberal by wagering that the perpetrator of the latest terrorist bombing would have brown eyes and a beard? He says that’s racist. But I was right, wasn’t I? The caller goes on to say that I probably have blonde hair and blue eyes, and I do indeed have strawberry blond hair and blue eyes, so his equally racist statement is also correct. Perhaps racism endures because it is true. There are undeniable differences between the races – or else what exactly constitutes this diversity that we are constantly exhorted to celebrate? Without differences there is no diversity. Just sign me off as An Independent Thinker.

You absolutely get a liar, somebody that the military, she does not have their backs. She is a liar just like that sorry president we have right now in office, Obama. They all knew this was going on and did nothing and let those people die. Now she’s going to turn around and say it was due to some kind of video, or something, or a protest that went wrong.

Yes, it’s very interesting. Yesterday I saw this video of Bill Clinton just destroying Obamacare, mentioning that people are working 60 hours a week to pay for the high premiums, and that’s been basically a disaster. And you wonder, this is a plank of Hillary Clinton’s going forward that she’s going to try to extend this, maybe even turn into single payer with the federal government picking up the entire bill. We’re already $20 trillion in debt. The Republicans sounded this alarm when the bill was introduced. None of them voted for it. They’ve been proven absolutely correct. The Democrats, the 60 Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, because they knew going in this wasn’t going to work.

Hey, I was just wondering. A friend of mine was on Market Street. There was a white police car that said GTCC police on it. And the uniformed officer inside the car with a black uniform on, and he had basically, apparently, pulled a car over and had his car lights going. And I’m sitting there wondering, don’t the campus GTCC police, do they even have authority to pull a vehicle over off the campus? Maybe it was a student or something. I don’t know all the details. But I was just kind of interested to see a GTCC police cruiser with the little stripes down the side that said police on it had someone pulled over here off Market.

I’m calling in about Donald Trump’s taxes. Who cares really? You know, the man was in business. And you get to take losses when you’ve had a loss. And I want to know, why don’t they go and audit Hillary Clinton’s foundation, the Clinton Foundation? They need to go audit that. Nobody is talking about that. No, no, everybody is hands off on that. We need to hold her accountable for the Clinton Foundation, and we need to hold her accountable for all the lives that that woman has destroyed, not counting the women and all the Benghazi people that have died underneath her while she was secretary of state. This woman is corrupt from head to toe. I am a woman, and I would love to have a woman president, but not her.

If anybody is interested, there was a program on ABC about our presidents. And to tell you the truth, I had forgotten about Gary Hart. Gary Hart told the press when they were hounding him, and he dropped out of the race so they wouldn’t drag his family through the mud, that if they continued, because of the Watergate scandal and all the press coverage and the way Nixon raped America, destroyed our faith in our government, said if they continued to hound people and follow people and pull their private lives into the political arena, that politics in America would change forever. He predicted that. He would have made a great president, too. I think Reagan, I don’t remember, beat Gary Hart.

If I was a Democrat, I’d be ashamed to admit it. Hillary Clinton had a hard time, and Debbie Wasserman-Schmidt lost her job because of it, trying to be a socialist. Now, she’s having a hard time beating a person who has never been in politics in his life, and he’s his own worst enemy. He might wind up winning this thing yet. I didn’t think he could. But he might wind up being president. I have already voted an absentee ballot to make absolutely sure that Hillary Clinton didn’t get a vote from me.

Yes, my opinion of the vice president’s debate, I do not think too much of it. I think they should make rules and regulations when they start a debate that each one is to keep their mouth shut until the other one answers the question. Hillary Clinton’s vice president, Kaine, interrupted so many times that Pence didn’t get a chance to hardly get his answers before he was right back in there running his mouth. And I also think the questions are aimed more so for Hillary Clinton than for the Republican Party. So I think there should be a lot of things changed about these debates. You can’t understand what their answers are, or what they’re saying. The only thing that I really understood was when it got down to telling about their religion. I understood that. And that’s my opinion of their debates.

I read your article about how DSS employees receive food stamps and other services. Employees are receiving these services, that’s private. That’s no one’s business but the employees. My question is, why are these employees paid so low that they qualify for these services? Remember, there was seven years where DSS workers did not receive a pay raise. And my next question is, will the health department, Sheriff’s Department, and other departments be required to do the same? What else will Heather Skeens and the county commissioners subject DSS employees to? And this isn’t right. Is there any privacy for a DSS worker? Is this another tactic to say she doesn’t trust employees? Really? How much does an employee need to know about an individual’s personal business? This is not right. This is not right.

Hillary Clinton president? We are better than that. Considering the overwhelming number of transgressions of the Clintons since they hit the national scene, that alone would be enough to reject her. Without appearing funny, I truly believe there are some Hillary supporters out there that would jump off the Brooklyn Bridge if she told them to and that nothing would happen to them. I realize, like all of us, Trump is far from perfect, but anyone who has at least grains of sense should be able to conclude that he is by far the safer choice. Unless you are at death’s door right now, at least think about your children and grandchildren that are left after you’re gone. Don’t allow them to suffer through only God knows what if she is elected. Vote for Trump.

Hillary Rodham Clinton must be desperate to get in that White House. She talks about Trump and things that they’ve done that is of no concern about the country. She should be talking about all the women that her husband has gone with, all the women he has groped, and all the women that he has hugged and kissed instead of talking about Trump telling what he was going to do. She ain’t got proof that he’s got anything, but she does know what her husband has done. And I’m getting sick and tired of listening to all this mess. I want to know what they’re going to do for this country, not what they’re going to do to some woman or some man, or what this one done, and that one done.

What Donald Trump said is wrong. However, that does not affect the country. But if you remember, bringing this up, but in the Bible when they caught the lady in adultery, they was going to stone her, and Jesus said, let the one without sin cast the first stone. That’s the first thing. And the next thing, has Hillary Clinton ever said anything that she wouldn’t want anybody to hear? One of the things she said that is just now coming out the same day, we want open borders. Do you realize what this country would be like in open borders? What Donald Trump says is not going to affect the whole country, but what Hillary Clinton said is going to affect the whole country. Open borders for the United States of Americ and be like it is over in Germany right now? They can’t control the people. The Democrats better wake

These people have been nothing but a discredit to the American society as long as they’ve been in politics. They stole from the White House when they left, and they made them bring some of it back, and even let them buy some of it. Vince Foster got killed in the White House.
