News flash for Scott Yost. The Greensboro-Guilford megasite is in Randolph County near Liberty. Not one inch of it is in Guilford County. And I know Greensboro likes to think they’re the biggest gorilla around. Well, they are pretty dumb at times. Down here in Randolph County, we were hoping that Toyota and Mazda wouldn’t look very closely at the way the Greensboro City Council and their politicians up there act because we figured that would kill the whole deal. Randolph County has a nice set of people, a good government, conservative Republican government to keep the taxes low. The people get along. We don’t have all the crazy goings on like they do in Greensboro. So, Liberty is the home of the megasite, and we hope to get something in here very nice very soon.

Rhino, feel free to strike my previous comments, because this is more alarming. Quoting Politico. Comey suggested that the memo had failed to offer proof of malfeasance while doing significant damage to the intelligence community, quote. That’s it. That’s it? Dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the House Intel Committee, destroyed trust with the intelligence community, damaged relationships with the court and inexcusably exposed classified investigation of an American citizen. Comey treated, for what? I don’t know what’s more disturbing: the memo and everything the memo includes, or Comey’s response as if it was nothing. I think former Director Comey is completely out of touch. Because his response sounds exactly like a Democratic Party talking point.

Small business is the dynamo of economic growth. Sears and Oldsmobile decline but once-tiny Amazon and Tesla grow. The free market is always adapting to the changing tastes of the American consumer. That’s why the entrepreneur is our society’s unsung hero, subtly slighted and abused despite his essential work pulling the wagon. So why does the City of Greensboro so consistently display such contempt for those who lay it all on the line in their effort to achieve the American dream? The way Café Europa has been treated is shabby, contemptible and worthy of a power drunk committee of apparatchiks from the Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan. “Vee vill tell you ven you must open and ven you must close, and also you vill hand over zee money off za top, even ven you are losing money. Just hand over zee dollars. And your rent? Ve vill double it, ve think.” As they destroy the living of this “little guy,” they remain incredulous when such people “go postal.” Gee, I wonder what it could have been? Just sign me off as An Independent Thinker.

It is ludicrous how far you will stretch to try to make Trump look better than he is. The latest is when you say his lies are not lies but exaggerations. I believe it was Shakespeare who said, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. Likewise, a lie called by any other name is still a lie.

I see where that Dr. Nassar is going to prison for 40 to 125 years. I think he’s a pretty creepy guy without a doubt. He acted very inappropriately and very unprofessional as far as I’m concerned. But what about the parents who were in the room and said nothing, because they wanted their kids to compete in the Olympics? They should go to prison also.

Well, I got to say, I’m pretty dissatisfied with my gym. They used to be opened 24 hours. Now, because they don’t have much volume at night, they’ve decided to start closing at 10. People that got memberships that can’t go during the daytime, because they have to work, get off work at 6. By the time they get home and change their clothes and everything and get out to the gym, they’ve only got about an hour they can use the gym. So, anyway, I got stock in it, and I just set it up to date to be sold. So, Monday morning when the market opens, it will be sold. And I’m going to invest it into a different gym that’s here in Greensboro, because they’re open 24 hours a day. Their stock is going up where my gym’s is going, apparently, under.

Just want to make a comment on the State of the Union. I think President Trump did a great job. He exposed the corruption and it’s starting to expose the deep corruption of the Obama administration. Nancy Pelosi should be ashamed of herself calling $1,000 or $2,000 or $3,000 a bonus. To me, that’s a lot of money. I don’t have the $30 million like she should. And she wants everything fair and everything. She should be excited that people are getting a tax cut. All they have done during the Obama era and her era is tax, tax, tax. And they are the ones who have put this country at great, great, great risk.

Well, the Super Bowl is over. And thank goodness. Anybody who watched the Super Bowl that cannot see that it was nothing more than a staged, rehearsed, orchestrated athletic production for your entertainment is crazy. That was nothing but a huge rehearsed play. It was nothing competitive about it. It was all bought and paid for, and that’s all it is to it. Not to mention all the ridiculous liberal commercials they wanted to cram down your throat. I will not spend one second of my life watching that garbage again. Pure, 100 percent garbage.

Hi. I’ve got two things I’d like to say. First and foremost is Congressman Adam Shiff. He needs to really just clamp it. And that means just shut up actually. You know, he’s out there on every talk show running his mouth talking about this FISA thing. Cause he don’t want the American people to see what’s really in it. And the American people really need to know what’s going on. Because this is a FISA bill that, you know, that spies on American people. These congressmen – people do not want the American people to know that they can be spied on at any time, any given time. And Adam Shiff, he needs to sit down. Actually, what he needs to do is he needs to step down. And he’s from California, out there, you know, where all this money comes from. And Nancy Pelosi calls it crumbs. So, therefore, that’s all I have to say about that.

To answer the person in the Feb. 8 Beep who asked who’s paying for immigration. Hey, buddy, you and I are, the American taxpayers are paying for immigration to the tune of several billion dollars a year as we support immigrants legal and illegal. It’s food stamps, Section 8 housing, welfare, Medicaid, you name it. You and I are paying for it. Meanwhile, a lot of them are sending their money back to Mexico. Think about it. And to answer somebody else. No, Democracy is not trying to destroy the republic, but the Democratic Party certainly is. They want to ignore, completely ignore, our Constitution, which has worked well for 250 years. Then, thanks to Obama’s new hobby of leading the organizing for action, which has a goal of destroying the republic as we know it.

A Democrat that the third grade was his senior year should have enough common sense to know that the $150 billion that Barack Obama gave Iran was wrong. And I just saw that they flew a drone into Israel, and Israel shot it down. Then they went back and bombed the place that the drone had taken off from. Them people – Israel is the only ally we got over there. And the very idea that he gave the money – we can’t get it back. Maybe Netanyahu can call the people in Iran, and they’ll tell him again they won’t do it again. That’s what they told them before. If you’ll give us the money, we won’t do this. And he believed them. So, maybe Barack Obama ought to call Iran and say, don’t be flying no more drones into Israel. It’s a shame that people get set one way and will not change. A smart man will change his mind. A fool never will.

I am glad that the Democrats are finally getting concerned about the national debt. When Obama was president, he added $10 trillion to the debt. The Dems were concerned when Trump wanted to spend $25 billion to build a wall. A trillion is 1,000 billion.

Nothing better to do, I just flipped over to CNN to see how bad they did talk about the United States government. They are absolutely the worst. How in the world do they think this country is ever going to get straightened out when you’ve got national broadcast companies setting spending 21 hours a day talking about the way this government is run and people overseas picking it up. And they make fun of everything. I don’t know what it’s going to come to, unless it come to us just hitting the bottom. Undoubtedly, what they want is a depression and everybody to lose everything they got. And then they can blame it on Trump. That’s the only reason I can come up with. I don’t know how they got the job. I don’t know how the stockholders in the company let that go on.

Once, again, Independent Conservative. I’m going to use up my other minute. I want to state to all the quote, mainstream news outlets. I’m talking what you see on the evening news. Reporting materials that are shown on social media: Facebook, Twitter, all the other guys, Skype, yada, yada, that is not news. I suggest real reporting is putting your nose to the grindstone and giving the facts as you, as an independent observer, observe them. Reporting on garbage that you read off of social media, that is not news.

In regards to the new parking decks for the City of Greensboro, just wondering if the city will continue the idiot practice of subsidizing the monthly rent for employees that park in the parking garage. When I worked for the city, I was charged a certain amount to park there a month. But I received a stipend in my paycheck to cover that. It was rather odd.

If Greensboro was so business friendly, and with the recent activities against Café Europa and Cone Denim, then why isn’t there a Publix in Greensboro? Or a Trader Joe’s? Or an Aldi? It doesn’t seem to me these companies want to come to Greensboro because, as in the past, they’ve tried, and they were told not in my backyard. So you have to go other areas in the state to get the good stuff. Goodbye, business from Greensboro.

If you are a Greensboro or thinking about coming to Greensboro, company or a resident, don’t do it. Don’t even talk to anybody at the City Council. Don’t talk to Matheny, because they’re not here to help you. They’ll run you out of business. And Jim Melvin, forget about him. He’s the one to lose all of our banking. It went all to Charlotte. He has never helped the City of Greensboro people, only himself.

Hello. Olympics. The ski jump. Let’s redesign the hill to make it bigger, longer and give the skis a little bit thinner for more speed off the ramp. And, then, give the jumpers a wingsuit with a glide ratio of 2.5 to 1. Schoo. It’s be much more exciting. And probably against the rules. But, hey, what the heck? Happy birthday, Karen.

This is in response to the leftist comment about President Donald Trump is upset because he could not buy the Buffalo Bills because they wouldn’t sell because he is such a fool. Sorry, Lefty. He is the president, not a fool. And as far as Mueller’s team, it has been compromised. If you haven’t read the memo, maybe it’s time to sit down and educate yourself. And ask why would Obama put forth a FISA warrant for a dossier that was made up of complete lies in order to spy on one of his campaign personnel? You need to look back and see what Donald Trump said to Oprah Winfrey about running for president.

Hey, there. Just read your article on the Republic trash pickups in Guilford County. I made several posts on their Facebook page and got some answers back. But when I posted about their last deal being dated Jan. 15, I received it on Feb. 3 with a due date of Feb. 4, I got an answer back said they don’t control the mail. But, anyway. And, by the way, their new procedures for pickup started on Feb. 5. But now involves, at least for northeast Guilford County up here above Greensboro, we’ve got to take trash out on Thursday for Thursday morning pickup, and on recycle weeks, we’ve got to take it out on Friday morning. They’ve always picked up both of them the same day. Just a lot of fun.

The Republican Congress just gave a massive tax cut to big corporations and the top 1 percent of wealthy Americans. And the result will increase the budget deficit by $1.5 trillion. Trump wants over $20 billion for a border wall that he claims will keep out a handful of Mexican gang members. And, now, he wants tens of millions more to put on a military parade so he can claim something else of his that’s bigger than little rocket man. Our president likes parades. France had a parade. Why can’t we? Trump is a child.

First of all, I want to say, would you, please, please, print this. All you stupid Democrats out there, and all you foolish people in these sanctuary cities that want to harbor these fugitives that are over here illegal. Think about this. The young linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts that was killed over the weekend with that other guy, that was ran over by a drunk driver that had been deported twice – twice – from this country. And he’s still over here illegal, and you want to guard him and hide him. Well, let me tell you something, I wish that one day – I pray that that does never happen to you. But, on the other hand, I don’t know. I kind of do so you will see how it feels, what this family is going through.

I’m sitting here watching the City Council meeting. You’re talking about a joke. I’m looking at eight or nine fools. Sharon Hightower can’t hardly talk. She has to talk to her hand. Nancy Vaughan, she can’t agree with nobody. She doesn’t know what’s going on. Michelle, she still wants these illegals coming in here. You talking about racist. This is racist right here. This is racist in Greensboro. They’re against – why don’t they bring Mr. Yourse and get him out of prison, and give him another $95,000? And then he can go out and hurt somebody else. This is an absolute joke. These people on City Council, I don’t watch it that much, but they’re like – Nancy Vaughan needs little strings tied to her arms like a puppet. When Hightower speaks, she shuts up.

I just want to make a reference to the second person that called in last week’s Rhino on Feb. 1. It amazes me how people don’t bother to look things up on the internet when they can get so many facts on the internet. This person stated that this is Obama’s economy and that Bush, when he was the president our unemployment rate was 9 percent. He’s actually very wrong. In January 2004, it was 5.7 percent. Obama was the one who had the 9 percent unemployment rate. It’s also interesting to me when he talks about the DACA kids are not criminals. They may not be criminals, but they are here illegally.

Hello, Beep. I just come down Lindsay Street just truck sitting there in one of the big dump trailers on the side of the road, no tag. And from Bill Black to Cone Boulevard I seen nine people run red lights and counting one speeding. I think what we need to do is get those people that put that show on live TV to come to Greensboro and make a show out of it so we can be put on television. But I think they need to bring their own police officers, because what we got won’t do nothing. And they wouldn’t have no show to put on. But they’ll save money on film, I guess. Cause we got city buses running red lights, school buses speeding, running red lights. Those other little small bus running red lights and speeding. But all of our police officers are inside or sitting in parking lots or talking or something.

This is to all the Uber users out there. I hope one day a company comes along and does to your business what Uber has done to the taxi business and legitimate transportation services. I hope one day somebody comes along, or a company comes along, and push your life of work out of business by ducking and dodging all the commercial regulations, fees, licenses and taxes, etc. Then, you’ll know what it feels like. So, every time you want to be cute and trendy, and click on your Uber app, just remember, you’re putting legitimate taxi services and transportation services out of business by helping a giant company who dodges all the legitimate laws. And these laws are mandated by the state and by the government, but Uber has a way of dodging them by getting certain legislation passed.
