I am a lifelong Republican who wants our elected politicians to pass all of Trump’s agenda, not theirs or Paul Ryan’s. I will vote against every single Republican senator and representative who does not support Trump’s agenda. I am glad the Democrats aren’t happy. Good. They certainly didn’t care what the Republicans wanted or needed when Obama won. So, you Republicans, do to the Dems what they did us when Obama won and get Trump’s budget done. You don’t need bipartisanship. Did they care about you when Obama won? You either vote and get Trump’s agenda in place or say goodbye to your office when you come up for reelection.

Well everybody is crying in the Rhino Beeps this week of Meals on Wheels supposedly not getting the right kind of money. But, anyway, they’re going to still have Meals on Wheels, people. The president has just cut out some of the funding. It’s already being funded by the states and the cities. But all this extra money that they don’t need, the meals are still going to be served. And I suggest maybe High Point don’t build that $45 million stadium, and they can feed some of those hungry people there in High Point and Guilford County. So, that’s one problem solved.

That sorry, worn out old has-been Hillary Clinton, the embittered hanger-on of an impeached husband from the last century, now declares that she is spearheading a brand new revolutionary movement. Wow. We can hardly wait for the latest utterance from a soon to be septuagenarian who never accomplished anything, but claims a right to be president because, well, she’s a woman – so if you don’t vote for her you must be a misogynist bigot. She describes her putative political earthquake as, quote, Resist, Insist, Persist, Enlist. Well, isn’t that cute? And puerile. If nothing else, Hillary Clinton knows her assonance. How apt. Just sign me off as An Independent Thinker.

It’s not what a person has in their bank account that makes them a person. It’s what they have in their heart and what kind of person they are that makes them a person. So, why do people go to every extreme to keep poor people out of their neighborhoods? I’ve heard some say when you have poor people you have crime and you have drugs. That’s not true. Not every poor person is a criminal, and not every poor person is a drug addict. And let me say this, there’s plenty of crime and plenty of drugs in the well-to-do neighborhoods. Poor people are the most discriminated against people in America. They’re told they can’t go to certain schools. They can’t go to certain restaurants. They can’t sit in the front of the airplane. You name it, they’re discriminated against, and it’s just wrong.

I’d just like to say we have got the sorriest, I mean the sorriest, set of city councilmembers in the State of North Carolina. They can’t be any worse than what we got. They can’t control a meeting. They can’t control nothing. They let all these people protest and break up meetings. And they don’t own that building. You know, taxpayers own that building. But they don’t own it. You got to act like you got some sense, which these people run by Nelson Johnson, they don’t have any sense. They’re foolish. Every one of them is foolish. And they show it on TV. They shouldn’t be put on TV. That’s what they want. They shouldn’t be televised. And another thing for the people in Greensboro, North Carolina, and surrounding areas that halfway obey the law, shouldn’t have to worry about getting killed on these highways we got. Greensboro streets are not safe to drive on because of the City Council.

Old Man Rockingham here. We voted Donald Trump in so that he would cut some of this nonsense in the government. Well, we’re still funding the NPR. We’re still funding Planned Parenthood. And I’m pretty sure there is a whole bunch of other programs in there that can go. So, his 100 days, I’m sorry. Donald Trump has failed us. He is not what he pretends to be, I’m afraid. I guess we’ll just have to vote some of these other Republicans out and put some new ones in who maybe will do what they say they will do.

The French are continually irked that English has become the world’s lingua franca. It is one part of the chip on their shoulder when addressing Britons. The French so desperately wanted to be what Great Britain actually became – the greatest empire in history, controlling a third of the world’s population. But it was not from Paris, it was from London. They never got over it. Now the president of the European Commission, a nondescript grey man and former mayor of Luxembourg, Jean-Claude Juncker declares that he will henceforth no longer speak in English because it is a language in decline following Brexit. Is it just me, or are these EU bureaucrats unhinged? All this Anglophobic vindictiveness and spitefulness is just a manifestation of their visceral resentment of the historically greatest European power deciding to reclaim its independence and might. Too bad for them. Great Britain will soon be free again, thank goodness. Just sign me off as An Independent Thinker.

This is for the caller, someone named Otis, who commented about my comments concerning massacres and guns. I did not say a massacre can be done only with the use of a gun. I said that they cannot be done with the use of a knife. Stop twisting my words.

How many innocent men have been convicted of a sex crime they did not commit? What if the 15-year-old girl, or any female that lies about being raped, was handed the same sentence she was about to doom an innocent man to? It’s got to stop. When will our legal system look for the truth and not a win?

Hi. I’m calling about Stephen Colbert talking about Donald Trump the way he did on TV. I think he crossed the line, way crossed the line. If we had talked about Barack Obama the way Colbert talked about Trump, he would have been fired immediately. I think it’s a double standard here. You know? The presidency should be off limits to talk about. And I think that these left-wing people need to stop it. I think it’s gone too far. And, you know, the American people voted Donald Trump in. Whether you like it or not, that’s the way it is. And CBS, you’ve gone too far. People need to stop watching CBS and let them see what it’s like to have no viewership whatsoever. It’s just really gone too far. The American people spoke in November when they voted for Donald Trump and not Hillary Clinton.

I think I have finally figured out what happened in the presidential election that the Russians intervened in. The Russians placed a little wee small man in each voting booth, and when someone voted Democrat, that little man inside changed it to Republican. But I thought about it a lot, and I believe that’s what happened.

I cannot believe how spineless our mayor is. She needs to resign. She is not got the ability to run this city. She can’t do it. She let Pitts and Johnson and Allen and those clowns rule this meeting the other night. It was ridiculous. Why was Irving Allen not arrested? He was told to leave. He committed a crime, and he was not arrested? That’s trespassing. He was asked to leave and did not leave. Then he created a riot. There’s another crime he created. It’s ridiculous. Vaughan, you need to leave. You need to go. It’s ridiculous to let these people run this city like they’re doing.

The Greensboro fish wrap had an extensive article on how the findings on this civil disobedience, resisting arrest case with the juvenile cannot be handled fairly because of the city manager’s interest in the job and other things. My question would be, we have a city councilmember who is the treasurer of the NAACP, and how can she be unbiased on the issues that come before the council? I’d like for her to explain that as she goes into the hearings unbiased, or does she value her job as a treasurer of that organization?

Yes, I was just reading about our Greensboro City Council letting all those fools and thugs in there. Why don’t somebody do something about these people? If you are going to have a council meeting, that’s to help Greensboro, the good citizens, the working people that wants Greensboro to be better. You let these fools in there, Nelson Johnson, and the Black Lives Matter group, and all they want to do is raise Cain about something. Close it down. Don’t let nobody in there. If you’re going to let people talk, let them in one at a time, and get rid of Nelson Johnson. He just wants to be like Jesse Jackson when he grows up. He’s just a troublemaker the same way. Leave him out of there. If he wants to raise Cain, let him go to the courthouse. Scream and holler at a judge. See what happens to the Black Lives Matter and Nelson Johnson and all them troublemakers. And the ones you got on the front page, why ain’t they at work or school? They sit in the floor doing nothing. And, plus, you turned over the whole City Council meeting to them. Totally wrong.

I hope all these Republican congressmen who voted for Trumpcare and passed that bill on to the Senate are happy with the fact that all they were concerned about was saving their jobs and doing away with Obamacare. They did not give a rat’s hind end about what was in that bill and the millions and millions of Americans that they just messed over.

So, our fool in chief Donald Trump announced today on May 5 he was going to spend the weekend at his New Jersey home instead of Trump Towers in New York City. And then boasted about how he was saving taxpayers’ money by doing so. Well, how much taxpayers’ money would he save if he actually did some stuff at the White House? That would be saving the taxpayers’ money. Don’t pretend you are saving anyone anything when you are leaving the place that you are actually supposed to be to do your work to go somewhere else. You’re not saving anyone a thing. You are spending more by going away from the White House. Does everyone out there understand this?
