I’ve already called Ed Hardin’s machine at the News & Record. It’s Sept. 13. And on the front page of the sports, a slap in the face, and it’s McCrory’s fault. Anybody that the third grade was their senior year should know that the Democrat Party sees that Trump is really pushing hard on Hillary Clinton in the State of North Carolina. They got together with the NCAA and thought if they could do this, they could give Hillary the win. Hillary is so weak; she barely could be a socialist. But that’s all it is. The NCAA has got no business telling someone what bathroom they’re going to use. Their job is to look after basketball. But, no, they’re getting tied up in politics, because the Democrat Party owns them. That’s all I got to say.

The football players that refuse to stand during the national anthem, I think they should go find a country that really works for them and live there and see how much money they make there. They’re a bunch of overpaid crybabies playing a child’s game. If you want to retaliate back, it’s quite simple. All you have to do is stop buying the products that are advertised during these televised football events. That is where the bulk of their money comes from.

Yes, I had a plan. I bought an investment, and the profits from that investment were going to pay my property taxes. Unfortunately, my investment did not pan out. So I will not have money for my property taxes. I’m curious if the City Council will accept that for an excuse like they’re accepting the excuses from the sit-in museum. And one last thing, black lives matter. Thank you.

The only time I take offense to what someone says to me or about me is if it’s true. So, if you are offended by Hillary Clinton’s statement about the backing of deplorables, it must mean that you believe that you are a deplorable. Otherwise, you really shouldn’t be upset if you’re not.

I just want to say I’m so proud to be deplorable. Where do I buy my T-shirt?

Hello. Concerning HB2, the news media needs to be held accountable for the lie they are telling. I have seen repeatedly both in the Greensboro News & Record and this very evening on News 2 that Charlotte passed an ordinance allowing transgender people to use the restroom of their choice. The fact is, that is a bald-faced lie. Charlotte City Council never passed such an ordinance. The ordinance they passed made it illegal for private businesses to maintain separate men’s and women’s rooms. In other words, everyone had to immediately move to unisex restrooms. Businesses did not want to do that by consult of their customers. That’s when the North Carolina legislature stepped in. Why is the media allowed to continue lying and saying Charlotte city ordinance had anything to do with transgenders using the restroom of their choice?

Good morning, Beep. Yeah, I’m just checking with the chief of police on this. I’m going through the Brightwood school zone, like 25, this morning. This guy is behind me, blowing his horn and beeping. I’m going 25. He passed me. The light done turned red. I stopped. He ran the red light, flying through a school zone. We don’t have any policemen that will protect our kids at school anymore. They’re too busy. They’re sitting over at McDonald’s or Biscuitville on Bessemer Avenue not looking out for the kids in schools. So, like I say, the police chief needs to be relieved of his job, and somebody needs to be put in there that will slow these fools down before somebody else gets killed.

Yeah, this is for Doug Copeland regarding his puff piece on Obama, his utopian view of Obama. There’s nothing official about Obama. The Chinese proved there’s nothing official about Obama when they made him exit the back of the plane.

And, you know, the world’s a rodeo, and Obama is nothing more than the chief clown, chump and change. Have a good day.

People in camp Butner, they’ll never get out, have more sense than some of the Republicans that made this push to try to get Donald Trump knocked out, making all these statements about how he wasn’t fit to be president, this, that and the other. Now, stupid Hillary Clinton is running them. And their own party is saying you shouldn’t vote for Trump. How much education does it take? I’m sure glad I didn’t go to college if that’s what you wind up being.

Our local Fox 8 WGHP-TV station is hilariously absurd sometimes. They are liberal, despite their national affiliation. So they just segued from one piece describing a famously liberal college poll by Elon University, in which support for Gov. McCrory was supposed to have declined as a result of HB2.  OK, that’s fine in itself, and they blamed it on his support for HB2. But I don’t believe that.  Do you really believe that support for McCrory has declined here in the Tar Heel state because he took a stand to prevent sexual deviants from entering the ladies’ bathrooms?  I don’t. And, hey, presto, as if to prove my suspicions, their very next story outlined how McCrory has gone from a 3 point deficit to a 9 point lead statewide in the same poll conducted by the same Elon College. This took place on Sept. 19 at about 5:15 p.m. on WGHP. Do they not see their dissonance? Liberals are just deluded, aren’t they? Just sign me off as An Independent Thinker.

Good morning, Beep. You know, I believe Hillary Clinton is full of oats and wheat that have been passed through the bull. Her and Bill Clinton have been a stye on our eye ever since Arkansas.

Good morning, Beep. Hillary says that 50 percent of Trump supporters are racist and other unpleasant adjectives she used about us, which is totally untrue, like most of what Hillary says. But I would like to point out that about 80 percent of Hillary’s supporters are low-information voters, and the other 20 percent are only there because she’s going to give them what they want in return, of course, for their votes, or in the case of the big financial people, their big dollars. Hillary is nothing but a – never mind. But she is not a pleasant person. She is not an honest person. We would never be able to believe what she said, and she does not have the interest of Americans at heart. Thank you.

You know, as the father of three sons in the military, I can’t stomach what happened on 9/11, a day that should bring unity in the United States, the day that we should memorialize as much as Pearl Harbor, when we should not have any dissension, any type of protest at all. Those players, the Jets that knelt during the national anthem, that was a personal insult. Any man or woman serving in the military, I get it. Those individuals have the right simply because it was afforded to them by both military and authority personnel. That’s a right. They get it. They want to protest and be active, donate millions and millions of their dollars to causes that enhance inequality in our society. Make sure that, basically, groups are represented.

Heavens, a big protest at the Coliseum after the NCAA pulled out millions of dollars due to HB2. And our mayor led the charge. But wait a minute. As I recall, she actually started this whole thing by wanting to make us a sanctuary city and outlaw any discrimination of all the LGBT community. She and the City Council made public restrooms nongender specific, and then Charlotte went overboard making its demands on private business, and that overreach caused our legislators to write HB2, which could be fixed just by taking the bathroom portion out of it. So, voila. Nancy Vaughan gave us HB2.

Obama said Hillary has traveled more than any other secretary of state. I say to that, big deal. Because that’s the only thing she’s ever accomplished while she was in office. She’s good at getting Americans killed. Does Benghazi ring a bell? She’s very good at lying too. Plus, she has friends in high places who lie and back her up. Those people who back Hillary and Obama must be liars their selves. Birds of a feather flock together.

Hey, I’m starting to wonder if the Colonial gas issue is just nothing but to make the presidential candidate look kind of bad, and make him throw more money at it. A friend of mine works at Colonial Pipeline. You know, over there by Market Street and Swing Road. They have so much surplus of gas that’s sitting in those tanks, and unprocessed fuel and everything. I could understand the lines are down, gas not coming in. But it makes no sense to be a gas shortage when you have all that fuel sitting over there and the different pipe companies. Colonial Pipeline Company is not the only tank farm over there that we have.

Let me see if I can get this correct. I don’t think I’m ready for camp Butner yet. Bruce Jenner, a grown man that has fathered four children, wants to go to a women’s bathroom and the State of North Carolina wants him to go to a men’s bathroom. So, since that’s the case, they’re going to pull all the NCAA ball out of this state because of the man that don’t want to go to a men’s restroom? So all this money is going to be lost, and John Swofford and the rest of the NCAA thinks they’re doing the right thing? Give me a break. Democrats will stop at nothing.

Hello. I’m calling in regards to this HB2. Everybody is backing out because of this bill, they claim. I don’t think that’s right. I think it’s wrong that they’re doing that. And I don’t think that’s the reason why. I don’t think that it’s fair that these transgender people think that it’s fair to just take over the bathrooms. That’s not right. Women have a right to privacy. They should not be subjected to a man walking into the bathroom, peering over the stalls of a bathroom at them at any given time. Not only that, they could be in jeopardy for their life. I would like to know how would Roy Cooper feel if his wife, which I doubt she would ever be in a position of that, would be in a bathroom and some man be peering over the stall looking at her?

John Hammer, you and your so-called paper, you bash everything that Obama tries to accomplish. And you never give him credit for what good he has done. I feel your criticism is based on his race.

I was just reading the letters to the editor in the Sep. 8 issue. Sit-in outrage by John Pugh. I think he makes some good points about the City Council not being outraged at the sit-in museum.

Thank you very much.

Isn’t it strange that the same people who are condemning North Carolina for standing up for something they think is right are praising this little guy out in California for not standing up for the national anthem because of what he thinks is right? It’s strange, isn’t it, how they can feel one way, but that’s what you call hypocrisy. Maybe Swofford would like to move the whole ACC out of the state. Or maybe the state would just like to get rid of him and the ACC. All because of some nut arguing over where I get to go to the potty. Lord, help us.

Yes, my wife was a registered nurse and worked in the emergency room for almost 45 years. So, Hillary Clinton had the syncopal episode, meaning she passed out. And now here we have, five days later that she’s back in Greensboro sort of recovered, I guess, from pneumonia, which in most cases takes several weeks. So, I’m not sure that this diagnosis is on the up and up. And we’ll never know, because that doctor left open with her statement. She said, no new illnesses this year, OK? So, if she had something in the past, it just carries over, I guess, for Clinton, and doesn’t get mentioned. I think when she comes in here, she is going to a college. It’s a very safe place for her to come into Greensboro to speak to young girls, and young college students, who have no life experience. The real voters in North Carolina are rejecting her.

Hey, John. I just read your report about the sports guy, how they’re stopping our state from having these games and all this stuff. And I’m in complete agreement with you. It’s none of their business. That’s political stuff. I’d also like to say that the people in this state should stand behind the governor in this episode. We don’t want our daughters and sons showering in the same room. I don’t know where these people get their smarts at, but they’ve lost what they did have. And I think we should stand together. And the Christians, if there is any out there that goes to church just to show they’re going to church, should stand up and back the governor. And the states around us better do the same thing, or they’re going to be in the same boat. Everybody bathing together like a bunch of fools that we’ve got running things is pathetic.

Good afternoon. I just recently saw Dinesh D’Souza’s movie, Hillary’s America, and I’ve recently finished reading Dick Morris’ book, Armageddon. I highly recommend everyone that cares anything about our country and the extremely important upcoming election in November see the movie and read the book. Unless you are a lifelong, godless, ultra-liberal Democrat and are already beyond help, I believe anyone else who sees the movie and reads Dick Morris’ book and is still thinking of voting for this woman in November must have an IQ in the mid double digits, and I’m as serious as a heart attack when I say that. Please, tell any of your undecided friends, neighbors, church members, etc., to go see the movie and read Dick Morris’ book. Trust me, it will be time well spent.

At what point would the county commissioners stop discriminating against employees at DSS? DSS employs more minorities than whites. Any new policies, they are directed at a DSS employee. Never the Sheriff’s Department, which employs more whites. Now you have the driver’s license issue. Driving license information should only be required if you are operating a county vehicle. In order to drive the county car, you must take the county driving course. Not that many employees operate a county vehicle as part of their job. The county commissioners have allowed Heather Skeens to spend $1 million to address the food stamp and Medicaid overdue cases. Didn’t work. Still have overdue cases, and now you have employees working on the weekends. Never have I heard so many employees terminated. Apparently, none of the Republican commissioners have relatives employed at DSS.

Yeah, John, second call this week. I was just thinking, watching TV here, and I saw a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. And it got me to thinking. If we’re going to have the boys and girls in school showering together, I think all the sports teams that have cheerleaders, they should all have to share together also. That way they can show the children how it’s done. And it will be a real eye-opener for everyone then if they do that. And we’ll all get together and take showers together. We can scrub each other’s back that way. I think that’s a good idea. I think the cheerleaders ought to jump in there and football players and all that stuff, everybody just have a real good time. Thank you.

Yeah, Steely Dan Fan Man. I really wish the News & Record had dropped their price to 50 cents a week. Then my cost for 13 weeks would be $6.50. In fact, it went from $44 to $48. And, another thing, I don’t see how anybody could even entertain the idea of voting for Hillary Clinton, who stole antiques from the White House. I think from Abraham Lincoln actually, I believe. And only some of it was returned. She should have been brought up on charges and put in prison. I mean, how can you do that and not get arrested? I mean, if I went to a grocery store and stole something, I’d get arrested. It is just unreal. And, then, she twists every word she says just like Obama. We’re going to fundamentally change, all this, and he did. And just like the pinprick thing. And it won’t be a pinprick. Well, it wasn’t. It was nothing, absolutely nothing.

I’m calling in relation to the call in in the new Beep. They’re pointing out that the city is going to spend $1.7 million to build four-tenths of a mile of 12-foot sidewalk. This closely parallels what was done a couple of years ago on Cornwallis where they put in a long sidewalk on the north side. There was already a sidewalk on the south side. So, now there is a sidewalk on either side of the street. I drive this stretch of road frequently. It is rare that you see anyone on either side walking or running. Possibly, someone on the City Council has an investment or financial interest in a paving company. Thank you.

Yes, I’d like to point out something that I think is really unequal in today’s world of pettiness and PC correctness and equalness. Donald Trump says he’s overweight, OK? He’s 6’ 3”, 236 pounds, and maybe he is a little overweight. But there’s never been any mention of Hillary Clinton. How come? Hillary Clinton has got to go between 180 and 200 pounds. She’s obese. Not overweight. She is obese. OK? Let’s be fair. Let’s say it. Are we afraid to say the future potential president of the United States is obese and needs to lose 30, or 40, or maybe even 50 pounds? OK? Then there is this birther issue that she brings up. Of course she brings it up. She wants to take the heat off of her for saying that people were a basket of deplorables. And she also wants to take the heat off of her for passing out, her medical situation.

Referring to the letter to the editor that Mr. Bennett wrote. Mr. Bennett, I have something to say to you. Number one, part of your letter states, or the writing that you submitted, that Hillary did not lie at the Benghazi hearings. What planet have you been on? Yes, she did lie. She sat there and claimed that it was a spontaneous act of terrorism when you know darn good and well if you look at the film it was not a spontaneous act. Second of all, you need to, obviously, see the movie Hillary’s America, because this woman is not lily white by any means like you’re making her out to be. And, yes, I understand that there’s other politicians up there that lie just like she has. But she takes the cake at lying. She can’t even hardly talk without lying.

Yes, I would like to know what Hillary Rodham Clinton is going to do for this country in place of getting on TV and talking about Trump’s clothes, where did they come from, and, then, placing him about where Obama was born at. As far as I know, nobody knows where Obama was born at. I was told his birth certificate was under lock and key where nobody could get it. If that’s all she’s got to talk about, I would prefer her to not even get on TV, because I don’t intend to vote for her. And, another thing, she’s lying about her ailments. Anybody that takes Coumadin has got vascular disease, because I know. I take Coumadin, and I know what it does to you, can do to you and will do to you. So she’s lying about that too.

Yes, I’ve got a couple of things to say about this current issue of the Rhino Times. And I was reading a couple of the Sound of the Beeps. First of all, in regards to the person who called in and said he supported Kaepernick, or however his name is pronounced and sitting in our national anthem because he won’t stand for that racist flag. I’ve got a piece of advice for you: If you’ve got something against the flag, then why are you still living in our country? You, obviously, need to get the heck out and do the rest of us a favor and leave us alone. Because the rest of us are proud of this country, and we’re proud of our American flag. So, if you don’t like it. And the same goes for Kaepernick. He needs to get the heck out of our country, too, if he can’t support our country and our flag. Also, in regards to the caller who called in and said that Hillary’s way ahead in the polls in North Carolina, I’d just like to ask you, what poll were you looking at?

It’s time for a voting revolution in this country. Voting for the lesser evil is still voting for evil. Don’t throw your vote away. Make a positive choice instead of a negative one.

The terrorism of 9/11 was the worst tragedy in the history of our country. And let’s not forget about the people who lost their lives during this terrible, terrible, horrific event. And let’s give credit to the people, just the average citizens who ran in the building trying to help people and lost their lives trying to do this. We seemed to have forgotten how bad that event was with these people not standing for the national anthem. There were people that lost their lives who were just at their job that day, first responders who tried to help people …
