We Want Answers
Dear Editor,
I’m thinking about starting a pool – a pool on how much longer the City Council can stall and continue to do the City Council Two Step on the issue with the city manager. How much longer they will need to do their best to hide all the facts, records and people that would show just what happened that night.
At this point it seems someone needs to file Freedom of Information Act paperwork to get the records and recordings that the police chief appears, appears to be hiding and answers on why it has been covered up for so long. But even if someone did, the Omnipotent Council of Greensboro would do anything and everything to drag it out until it dies a quiet death. I wonder what would happen if the Council Chambers were packed with citizens who signed up to talk and every one got up asking the same question. My money is a sudden shutdown of that portion of the meeting. Oh, and all those people showing up wearing shirts saying, “We want answers!” since signs are not permitted. Unfortunately, if those folks, citizens, showed up they would be ignored because they won’t/didn’t vote for the imperials so why listen to them.
This whole circus needs to be used as motivation for conservatives and true Republicans to get out and vote. Use their own tactics and ideas against them by bussing people to the polls. Get carpools to bring them out. Until this (in my opinion, illegal) act of early voting can be revoked and some semblance of control of our elections returns to the people, not the (National Socialist) Democrat Party and their ilk, our system of government will continue the slow, lurching movement away from a Constitutional Republic of, by, and for the People towards a Socialist dictatorship run by a handful of we-know-what’s-best-for-you-peasants and a complete loss of what so many have fought and died to protect.

No AI In Elections
Dear Editor,
I think that “our” government needs to pass legislation that would ban the use of artificial intelligence in elections. AI should noy be used to make speeches or allowed in campaign advertisements. It should not be allowed in polling or used to count votes. AI should be banned from all elections.

Dear Editor,
As early voting season is now upon us, please consider voting for Michelle Bardsley for NC House District 62. I have known Michelle for several years and count her as one of the most dedicated, intelligent and caring people I know.
When you meet Michelle, you see a beautiful, accomplished and successful businesswoman who demonstrates kindness and consideration. Consequently, many have asked me if Michelle has enough mental strength and “backbone” to truly represent the citizens of District 62 as a leader. To that statement I give a resounding yes!
Michelle has an extensive background working with teens and young adults. She raised four children who are now fine young adults. She has worked as a high school teacher volunteering as an advisor for several teen groups and clubs through the years. She opens new classes with an assurance to the students that she cares for them and will work with them and for them, demonstrating her care. She has been involved in several youth mission trips helping young people find their way in life through giving. Many of us are challenged when working with young people. I think it is one of the toughest groups to work with effectively in our society. That is the demonstrated skill set she wants to bring to Raleigh.
Can she do the job? Absolutely! She will do the job with the same care, concern, and finesse she has developed working with our young people in Guilford County. Please don’t buy into the lie that for a representative to be effective they must be gruff and rough. Michelle embodies civility and strength. Choose Michelle Bardsley as the NC House District 62 representative.

Cracks me up how conservative Alan doesn’t like everyone being able to vote. You know, people who have jobs that don’t fit the schedule for a single day of poll access for example. Anyone who opposes early voting, opposes democracy.
I have tried to promise myself not to climb into the pigpen with Chrissy but This incredibly stupid comment made me violate my promise to myself.
That being said, I want you, Chrissy, to tell me how we managed to hold elections on the one day a year in the past before this early voting BS was introduced.
Anyone who supports early voting supports turning our Representative Republic (careful, your ignorance is showing, not a democracy…there’s a difference) into a sham and this country into a Socialist State.
I understand conservatives love to ignore established facts and real information but for Alan, I will repeat myself…A republic and democracy are not mutually exclusive.
The United States is a federal republic with a democratic system of government. It operates as a representative democracy, where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf.
Note, I didn’t make this up. This isn’t my opinion. This is simply using definitions of words to describe the US system of government that Alan clearly lacks an understanding.
As for one day voting…Alan doesn’t support the working American’s that often have to work two jobs, or people with disabilities who can’t stand in long lines, or people who travel for work and are often out of town on election day. Let’s not forget that in conservative states there is a habit to reduce the number of polling locations in lower income communities so long lines on election day mean people lose access to the polls. Alan points to the past that we used to only have one day voting. America also used to openly block minority voting. I personally enjoy progress.
Austin says having more options to vote is just more opportunity for fraud, yet no one has proven mass fraud in a statewide or federal election?! Personally, I trust the system of controls used by election officials to validate our fair elections. Therefore, more options to vote means more people have their voices heard.
Wonder why only conservatives fear having more voices heard at election polls?
Democrats (and closet Democrats like Chrissy) want all these weird & wonderful ways of voting because it gives them greater scope to steal elections with electoral fraud.
Voting season started in January. The General election is in November. Fortunately for us, we watch very no MM broadcast TV.
Compare what you see on TV, v/s the 50s & 60s. Fox for for example, this past Sunday, during 3 hours of eve prime time, they broadcast three hours of cartoons.
MM preaches to the sheep.
The mass media are not trying to inform us, they’re trying to manipulate us.
BINGO!
NOT interested in how beautiful and wonderful Michelle Bardsley is.
The people of NC House District 62 are not looking for a date, they’re looking for someone who embodies their values and who can represent them in the rough & tumble of state politics.
And that person is John Blust.
The city hides stuff just like the county hides the racial slurs, sexual harassment, verbal assaults, bullying, racist slander committed by one of their employees. County managers and comissioners don’t return emails, phone calls or requests for meetings. This man was turned into HR with witnesses, recordings, documents, and the county protects him.
Even when the comments were “black meat”, “dark chocolate” “dark over there”. He was actually referring to me as my fiance is a white guy and an employee of the county.
The county has now sent my white fiance home without pay and 2 kids to support, just because their racist supervisor knows something on somebody! THEY ALL DO THE SAME STUFF.
PROMISE HONESTY INTEGRITY TRANSPARENCY

Djenna, ya get what ya vote into office. Now enjoy it!
DJenna, you need to lay off the coffee and get out and enjoy life.
Seventeen years. After only 17 years in prison for the killing of Winston Salem police Sgt. Howard Plouff another piece of human debris is set free. Ironically, Sgt. Plouff has served the city for 17 years before the murder. A life of value and service disappears and the perpetrator is rewarded with a full life of freedom in return.
We recently celebrated the life of GPD Sergeant Philip Dale Nix after his senseless death at the hands of three more street thugs.
As old as I am,(65yo), it sickens me to the core that I might still be alive when those vermin too are set free upon society.
