Hi. I only hope that those people who protested the awesome Trader Joe’s store are kicking themselves all the way up and down Hobbs Road now that they’re getting that who-knows-what on the corner, and right across the street on the other corner. I hope they’re happy.

Yeah, this is for the guy that called in about no proof about Trump and Russia. What about all the emails they got from the Russians and all the backdoor deals they made with the Russians and the point the fact that Trump wants to bend over for the Russians? No telling what they did in the White House when the Russian spies were in the White House. So, here’s the proof. It will all come out. And the dossier has not been disproven. Most of it has been proven. And Hillary Clinton, oh my goodness, she’s been investigated over and over and over again. They found nothing. But, yet, Republicans keep bringing it back up. And I don’t understand why Fox News doesn’t do their own investigations instead of just repeating on TV half stories, not even the whole story that comes out. Yeah, Trump is Putin’s puppet.

I have been reading Under the Hammer and also hearing on the news about the uranium sale. They’re all talking about how much the Clintons received as a result of this horrendous deal. But I have yet to hear how much the United States government has been paid for that uranium. Can you, please, find out? I have asked several different places, and no one will answer me. So, John, please, find out and let us know how much the USA was paid by Russia for the uranium. Thank you. Have a great day.

Editor’s Note: The US didn’t own the uranium, a Canadian company did. Because it was US uranium, however, and a Russian company buying it, the US government had to approve the deal.

To the editor, Mr. Hammer. What is your take on Bill O’Reilly saying he is mad at God? Don’t you think he should be mad at the devil? For instance, like the devil made me do it. Thank you.

Yes, I just want to touch on a couple of things in the news here lately. This gay fellow over here that’s on trial for murder for killing the other fellow. Come on, now. We know the fellow is not clicking on all decks. He’s just wasting everybody’s tax money running a two-week trial on him. All this testimony. They know North Carolina is not going to give him the death sentence. Just let him go ahead and plead guilty to the thing and give him a life sentence. Carrying on Cam’s news and last week’s so-called not talking to the press or anything. He’s still playing his 10-year-old self like he did on the Super Bowl when he didn’t want to sulk like a 10-year-old, and they got whipped today, put a couple of fumbles in there, interceptions, whatnot. Don’t make any sense.

As a Republican, I was actually looking at running for office next year, but I think I might not do it. Because this year we have a lot of Republicans run for mayor. We had a lot of Republicans run at large. We had a lot of people run for the City Council. But, anyway, out of all of those Republicans that ran, all of them, only one Republican made it to the primary, Tony Wilkins, and he came in second place which is a good sign that we probably will have a new city councilman for that district, which is kind of interesting. I can’t believe all of those Republicans got knocked out of the race. And, now, you have some senators and congressmen that are in other states that are saying they’re not going to be running next year as a Republican. What is going on with this? Is this an anti-Republican move?

You continue to avoid telling us how many rounds of golf Trump has played since the inauguration. You say it is because he uses golf to make deals. It is ludicrous for you to try to convince us that it is OK for taxpayers to pay for Secret Service protection while he is golfing to make deals with congressmen who have not been friendly to him or his programs.

I went to a grocery store on Sunday. Big mistake. The store was actually a social establishment. People blocking the aisle with their carts while discussing who knows what. If that was not enough, the cellphone talkers and texters were in their usual oblivious-to-others mode.

Well, one of my wishes has come true. I’m 82 years old. And I wanted to live long enough that they got Hillary Clinton caught dead to rights. She’s in this Trump-Russia thing as much as Karo is into syrup. And I don‘t believe that she’ll ever get out of it. I believe that she’s done in politics. I was hoping I would live long enough to see that and I believe I have. She’ll go out with plenty of money. You remember all the money that people donated. She’s got that somewhere. Probably under a rock. But her and Bill’s got it. They can move to some island and live happily ever after and with a bunch of concubines.

William Manchester, former Marine of World War II vintage, and author of American Caesar about General MacArthur, wrote that men do not fight for a flag or a country. They fight for the man next to them, the leader, if he is good, and their unit such as the regimen. The flag is not even mentioned in battle. I served in Vietnam and I do not recall seeing an American flag. But there was a Confederate flag hanging from the antennae of every tank, Amtrak and I Corps. But if you put up a peace flag, you are ordered to take it down right away. Why are we so hung up on this flag thing?

Newsflash. DNC head, Tom Perez, falsely claims the Electoral College is not a creation of the Constitution. Well, that’s the headline. If you refer to Article 2 of the Constitution, it pretty much explicitly states, emphatically states, how we go about voting for presidents in this country. Wow. I truly hope that I never have to hire a lawyer who is a Democrat. They don’t seem to know how to follow the law.

Hey, John. You know the NFL excuse league has a lot to learn. They should just watch Major League Baseball. You don’t have any of this dissension. You don’t have anybody sitting, locking arms, making excuses for not representing the flag. And you have people like J.J. Watts injured but raised $87 million for the relief fund in Houston. It’s what a class act is supposed to be. And it’s somebody that I would want my son to grow up to be. NFL is clueless, classless and soon to be cashless.

I see on the news that a church that George Washington attended had a place, like a box that he sat in. Well, now, they want that box taken out, because they said some people didn’t feel right going in. If a man don’t feel right going in a church where George Washington sat all them years ago, he needs to find another church. Remember: Barack Hussein Obama said he was going to fundamentally transform the United States. And he got this thing started. And it’s not going to stop till the American flag comes down and another flag goes up. Now, you might think I don’t know what I’m talking about. But just keep watching the right news. Watch the news that will tell you the truth. They’re taking it a little bit at a time, a little bit at a time, and he is going to fundamentally transform America. He’s not gone anywhere yet.

There is a small bar that’s really not far, that deserves our kind acclamation. It has draught beer and fish, and it’s all quite delish – so check out this fine destination. Libby Hill’s Oyster Bar, the best seafood by far and craft beer as divine as creation. But really, it’s a hidden gem. Just sign me off as An Independent Drinker.

Hey, John. I was curious. You’re a reporter, right? Why don’t you do what I call third-hand plagiarism? Meaning, you’re a reporter. You never do any investigative reporting. How do you manage so many words? You don’t go anywhere. You stay here in Greensboro. But you can manage to write so much information. Why are you stealing other people’s words and calling them yours?

Hi. I am so tired of hearing Donald Trump complain about the media. If there was actual, you know, investigative journalism going on, we would hear about all of the illegal stuff he’s doing every day. It would be nonstop coverage, and for a minority, that’s – it would be even worse. It’s just the audacity to complain is insane to me. And why aren’t people covering this? I mean, you can’t make money while you’re president promoting things, getting paid. It’s just insane. I mean, besides being an embarrassment. But no one is actually doing anything about the illegal activities. It’s illegal.

Whenever you use Uber, keep in mind you are hurting legitimate taxi and transportation services who actually pay what they’re supposed to pay and operate under the legal requirements that they’re supposed to operate under. You’re hurting legitimate business who pay the legal fees, the legal taxes and the proper insurance. Uber doesn’t do any of this. If you’ll look on the back of an Uber car, the license plate is a personal license plate. It doesn’t pay for commercial insurance and paying commercial fees that are required by law. They couldn’t care less about who they hurt as long as they can save a dollar. But keep in mind, like I said, you are hurting and putting out of business transportation services and taxi services that are legitimate and are paying their way and doing the way it is supposed to be done.

Editor’s Note: Uber does operate in compliance with the laws of the state.

Since the Democrats are so against our president, and everything he’s doing, and everything he wants to do, then the following should happen: Republicans should be exempt from paying any kind of income tax while the Democrats should be in about an 80 percent tax bracket. Let the Democrats pay for everybody since they’re so against the tax cuts. Republicans should have full health coverage, free of charge, while the Democrats pay triple for their health care. They should pay for everybody else’s. Republicans’ children should get free education while the Democrats have to pay. Republicans should get interest-free loans on their houses while the Democrats have to pay about 20 percent interest rate on their house loans. Since they are so against everything the president is doing, they should step out of the picture.

You know, I never thought for a million years I would ever see this. I’m 61 years old. And I have never seen the Democrat Party so crazy in my life. Even back in the Bill Clinton era it was not like this. Ever since Obama has gone into office, the Democrats are just crawling out of the woodwork, underneath rocks and acting crazy. Examples: This congresswoman, Fredrica Wilson, cowboy-hat-wearing woman. She is so crazy. If you people would spend your time trying to help out the United States instead of trying to do everything you can to undermine what this man says, does, or anything, we might get something done around here.

Congratulations again Trump supporters. The US is now at the bottom of the list with Syria when it comes to polluting the earth. Because Nicaragua has joined the Paris Climate Act. And now it’s just the United States and Syria. We’re not number one anymore.

Hi. I’m American, and I pay taxes, and I am a US citizen. And I’m calling about this dossier and this Uranium One. I want to know about it. I want to know who paid for it, and I want to know who approved this Uranium One deal. I think that the American people have the right to know, and we need to know who is corrupt up there in Washington, DC. We have that right. And I think whoever it is needs to go to jail. And I think that if Obama was involved in it, he needs to go to jail. And if Hillary Clinton was involved in it, she needs to go to jail. And I think it’s totally wrong that Bill Clinton got over half a million dollars for a speech. That’s ridiculous. Not only that, I think it’s time that the Democrats stopped. It’s totally, totally uncalled for what they’re trying to do to Donald Trump.

Some people like to hang toilet paper so that it rolls out over the top of the roll. Other people like to hang theirs so that it will roll out from the bottom. The media heard of this and immediately sent out a team of reporters with mikes and cameras to investigate. The local government established a panel to discuss the issue and determine wither over-the-roll or under-the-roll was the correct procedure. The local TV news channel set up a call-in number for viewers to vote for either over-the-roll or under-the-roll. I am thankful that we have great support in all matters of such importance. Thank you.

Jane Fonda was in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War sitting on an anti-aircraft gun being interviewed. And she said with her own words that the American soldiers in the North Vietnam POW prison camps should be tried and executed. She said that American soldiers should be tried and should be executed with her own words. If you don’t believe me, you can look it up on YouTube. She said that with her own words. This is nothing but clear treason, and she should lose her citizenship because of it and be exiled from our country. That’s all there is to it. She should go to North Vietnam and live.

Good morning, Beep. Yeah, I was just reading the thing yesterday about Ms. Vaughan said she was out in the city every day. She don’t come out of the city. Why don’t she come out of the city, of town, and get on Bessemer Avenue now and Yanceyville and get out on Church Street and get out in these school zones in the morning and see people flying through school zones. School buses running red lights and stop signs. People speeding and running red lights. Why don’t she get out in the city and do her job, which she messed up. She won’t let the Police Department do their jobs. Let her get out in the country, in the city, and see how her town is going that she has ruined, her and her compadres up there in the City Council. Get out of the city. I’m from uptown. Get out on the roads, on Greensboro, and look around to see what you’ve messed up. I dare you. I don’t think you’ve got it in you to do it.
