This November marks a very sad 30th anniversary in Greensboro. In November 1986, radio station WBIG, We Believe in Greensboro, 1470 AM, went off the air for good after many decades on the air. As a baby boomer who grew up in Greensboro, I could remember waking up many a school morning in the 1960s and early ’70s to the voice of Bob Pool and news director Lloyd Gordon. Shortly before he passed away, Lloyd Gordon told me the station had no idea that Jefferson Pilot was literally pulling the plug on WBIG on that November day. Long time Greensboro radio personality Dusty Dunn had the unpleasant task of telling the station listeners that afternoon that WBIG would pass into Greensboro history that evening at 6 p.m. How very sad.

Hello. I’m calling about the recount for Pat McCrory and Roy Cooper. I’d just like to tell Pat McCrory that we’re rooting for him and not to give up, to hang in there. Because I think the count will come back and show he is the winner. And I’d like to tell Roy Cooper that if it just so happens that he is the winner, that he’s going to have a long four years, that the American people of North Carolina are not going to be behind him. He’s going to have a rough road to hoe. Because this HB2 thing is on him. It’s been on him. And he’s lied all the way through this whole entire thing saying it was on McCrory when it wasn’t on McCrory. It was the Democrat Party that put this all together, and they threw it at McCrory’s feet. And that’s the way it’s been. Pat McCrory has been a good governor. He’s been very gracious through this whole entire thing. He’s never said one bad word about Bev Perdue, what a mess she left him to walk into.

I’m calling in reference to the Oct. 27, 2016 edition of the Rhino Times where some ignoramus said that the police officers should have to pull their Tasers first before firing their service revolvers, and the service revolvers should be controlled by a fingerprint imprint firing action device. This is the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. I’d like to see what they do to, the person that gave their opinion would do if I pointed a .357 magnum at his head, and he had to pull his Taser first and, then, the Taser, according to him, would unlock the holster that had the service revolver in it. So, if he didn’t pull the Taser first, he couldn’t get his service revolver out. This man needs to be confined to a mental institution. If he thinks he’s so great, let him come out and police the city like we have to.

Yes, Trump was right. The election was rigged. However, in his favor. That he could threaten to not concede, to challenge it. It’s been going on for five years since the Republican Party started all their persecution of Hillary over the Benghazi events that she didn’t have anything to do with half of the things that Donald put out that she did and, you know, for people to vote for him over her because of lack of trust. Trust.

I’ve been watching on the news where Hillary’s crowd is blaming the FBI for her loss in her run for presidency. Maybe everybody ought to quit looking around to find somebody else to blame that on, and blame it on the fact that Hillary is a criminal. She’s nothing no more than Obama. She’s lied her way through everything she’s ever done in her entire political life. She’s been involved in so many scandals it’s unbelievable. And she really should be in jail. If she was an ordinary American citizen, she would be. But to try to blame Comey, to try to blame people. Maybe it’s the simple fact that people just get tired of looking at you, Hillary. You’re a criminal. It’s hard for you to believe. You’ve been lying about your emails all this whole time this has been going on. It’s unbelievable that everybody looks to blame it all on everyone but who it is put forth to be brought the blame for.

This is for Steely Dan Fan Man. You see, the thing is, legal citizens who are of age have a legal duty, rather a duty to vote. OK? And if you don’t vote, don’t exercise your civic duty, then that’s where you have no right to argue what you like or don’t like about whomever the president, or Congress, or senator, or whatever. So, that’s where we get off telling you, you can’t disagree, because you don’t exercise your civic duty. It’s just that simple. Vote.

I had a nightmare this morning. I get up on a beautiful Sunday morning. I’m flipping my TV. MSNBC comes up. And who else but the Rev. Al Sharpton is there commenting? I mean running the show? What? I thought he was going to Canada if President-elect Trump was nominated and elected. Well, so, much for that. And so much for all the other ones that were leaving the country. I guess they decided to stay to make havoc. And I have one thing to say to all those rioting protestors. At this point, what difference does it make? And, of course, that’s a Hillary Clinton quote about the Benghazi deaths.
% % %
It’s Sunday morning. And you would think the Democrat Party would have enough sense to know why they lost the election. The reason they lost it is because they do not use good common sense. Fox News showed there was about 25 cities scattered over this country that’s actually rioting is what they’re doing. They call it demonstrations. And where is the president of the United States? Barack Obama is still the president. It’s up to him to talk to the people and tell them to go back in the house, and go back to work, and stop this. Because the man that has been elected is going to be the president for the next four years. They got to like it or lump it. But, no, he’s probably – it’s Sunday. He’s probably out playing golf. That’s the kind of leadership the Democrat Party has got, and as long as they keep that kind of leadership, they’ll always be in the rear.

You know, it looks like it’s OK for women to sexually harass men. It’s OK for a sexual predator to use any bathroom they want to. And, also, everybody thinks it’s OK to let everybody and their brother to come into the US without benefit of going through the process that our ancestors went through to come here. Things they had to deal with in order to become citizens, and all these people, it’s OK for anybody to show up. How are they going to vote if they’re not a legal citizen? Why should they have the health care if they’re not citizens? It don’t make sense why we’re trying to heal the world but our country can’t heal itself.

The Greensboro news editorial on Nov. 11 criticizes the Republicans for rigging the election by gerrymandering the districts to Republican favor. Interesting considering Democrats did it for the last 100 years. How do you spell hypocrite?
% % %
Yeah, yesterday was Sunday. And the Democrats had a big party, or a big gathering, I guess, trying to figure out what to do because they lost so many seats. Rumor is that a lot of people want to try to impeach or get Trump removed from office. But what’s so funny about that is, he’s not even sworn in yet. So, but, I’ve been noticing the Democratic headquarters seems to stay open a lot of hours, quite a lot of hours, and they always seem to be open about every day. But I don’t know what’s up with the Republican Party. I don’t know if we need a new chairman or just somebody that will get in there that’s fired up. Because, unfortunately, every time I’ve gone by the Republican Party over the weekend, the door is closed and locked. And nobody is there.

Yeah, I’m going to crack on the papers, including the Rhino, Yes! Weekly, the Beep, all of them. Everybody in the news agency is covering the Hillary Clinton protests that’s going on in all these cities, people coming out and protesting that Trump won. And they want Hillary to get another race. I don’t know what they really want. But I’m kind of disappointed in the news agencies, all of them, especially the little three papers we have here in Guilford County. There has been three anti-Hillary rallies where they got together and was just basically cutting up. And I don’t know all the details, but I know they were for anti-Clinton rallies, supporting Trump. And Trump said today, if I remember, on TV, that he’d like to see all that stuff to just stop. That everybody needs to move forward on both sides.

Hi, Rhino. Hello, Reid. I just spent the last hour of my valuable time listening to Barack Hussein Obama give his press conference. Barack Hussein Obama just publicly gave George Soros go ahead to continue throwing his millions of dollars into his agenda by stoking the fires of ignorance and hatred being played out in our streets all across America. Southern Guilford County.

Hello, Beep. Hello, Reid. Where in the history of this country has anyone in America ever witnessed the entire spineless media literally grovel for an outgoing president, his opinion and assurances that our country will remain safe after the newly elected president takes office in just two months? They are imploring with such angst. The very president who today called a press conference and yet failed to even mention the thousands of paid, hate-filled, violent, so-called protestors being bused to cities all across our nation. It is clearly a president’s job to denounce such activities. Yet not one single man or woman with a press pass had the integrity, nor the spine, to stand up and ask a sensible question.
% % %
Well, I hear today on all the news stations, king Obama – excuse me, President Obama is going around to different countries to calm the nerves of country leaders elsewhere. So, why don’t President Obama calm the fears of his American people that he served until Jan. 20, 2017? Why don’t he get on the microphone and calm the crybabies and tell them to go back to school, go back to work, go back to your daily lives? Don’t be afraid. Why don’t he do that? Well, anyway, that’s beside the fact. And, now, just look. Trump’s already raised Kleenexes. I’m sure they’re making a lot more money than they did, because people are going to use Kleenex to wipe their tears unless they use their sleeve.

I wonder what Cabinet positions that Trump is going to give to the Duck Dynasty guys. And what Cabinet position is he going to give to Honey Boo Boo. Oh, wait, she’s female. So, she won’t be getting any important positions. But I am curious about the Duck Dynasty guys. I want to know what they’re going to be doing to help out and run this country.

I was listening to The Rush Limbaugh Show, and he stated that when we had this election we didn’t just overwhelm the Democrat power in the White House, but we also won governorships, and mayors races, city councils, everything electable including judges. He said that we vanquished the Democrat Party, basically. And the number or states now out of 50 states that have governorships under the Democrat rule is actually five, actually four, because Connecticut right now is in a draw, kind of like our North Carolina governorship race right now. So, it is about four states.

It’s Nov. 16. If all my Democrat friends that looks like they had mace sprayed in their eyes, and having to use a bath towel to soak up the tears, channel 8 news has just showed the toys for kids. And they also said that there are thousands of children in this area that will not have a Christmas if we don’t give to them. Now, remember, Hillary Rodham Clinton wanted to bring in more children. More. The children that she’s talking about could be helped over there. We could send stuff there. But not bring them here. I’d be all for that. But you need to dry your eyes. It’s all over.

So, if Donald Trump goes out and says that he will not prosecute against Hillary Clinton. I’m calling foul. That’s one of the reasons why we elected him. We didn’t want a regular politician. We wanted somebody who would go in there and upset the apple cart, somebody who was going to take out the corruption and everything in government. And if you don’t take out Hillary Clinton, the rottenest, dirtiest thing that is in government, well, then, why did the heck did we even waste our votes?

I’m never going to believe that Obama was born in Hawaii. It’s my understanding his birth certificate says African American on it. And if he was born in 1961, around the time I was born, it would say negro, or maybe colored. But it would not say African American. And, furthermore, one of his books even claims by his own words, even if they were dictated to somebody else, that he was born in Kenya. Well, he’s either a chronic liar, which we already know, or something. But I’ll never believe that he qualifies by being in born in this country. You’ll never convince me. I think we had eight years of somebody who never deserved to be president of this country. And just for that reason, not to mention he never did anything in his entire life. Thank you.

Yes, this is to the foolish masses that I see on TV protesting against Donald Trump. Go get a life. OK? The election is over. The people have spoken. I’m one of those people who spoke. And do you really think the Clintons are sitting around worrying about you?

Hi. I’m calling in regards to the election that just took place. And now we’re having to wait to find out who’s going to be the governor because of the way the election was run in Durham. I would like to tell Mr. Barber of the NAACP to stay out of our voting. Because if it had been voter ID, we would have known who the governor was. You know, instead of him having Moral Monday up there protesting, he needs to have voter ID Monday. We need voter ID. We need it. There has been so much fraud this year across the board that he cannot sit and say that the minorities did not get this vote because of black oppression and all that. That is totally unreal. I just feel like that we need voter ID. I don’t care what he says.

You comment about how our growth has fallen behind Mecklenburg and Wake Counties. This might come as a shock to you, but there are many of us that do not want growth like that. Have you driven in Charlotte or Raleigh recently? Also, have you driven here on Battleground, Wendover, Benjamin Parkway, Holden Road, etc.? How much worse would our traffic be if we had grown like those other two counties?

I’m sitting here watching Fox News showing Obama going around the world whining. Barack Hussein Obama. He started out his term of office in 2008 going around the world bowing to every Muslim he could find, kissing up to everybody he could find, and apologizing for America’s greatness. Now he’s whining about Donald Trump. Barack Hussein Obama is going to go down in history as the worst president we’ve ever had. He’s the biggest liar. He’s the most divisive, racist, and illegalist immigrant in the White House. And now he can’t leave office without taking shots at Donald Trump. He has no idea what Trump is going to do, because he’s incompetent himself. He ain’t done anything.

In continuation of my call. Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton can sit up there and done everything they could to get elected to the presidency of this country. What has he done? Ask the Syrians what he’s done. They’re fleeing their homeland because of Obama. If he had left the troops over there, these people would be in their homes. They wouldn’t be over here begging, trying to get in this country and destroy America’s safety. Hillary Clinton would be a continuation of that. Thank goodness that will never happen. But as far as the marchers in the streets, they are being paid for by George Soros, moveon.org and some of these other groups.

I’d like to know what these little brats out here that’s parading up and down the streets are parading about. They got to have play dough to play with, therapy dogs. I want this. I want that. They don’t know what they want. They have lost their cotton-picking minds. I thought they were supposed to be adults, grown up with a little bit of intelligence. But in my book, they’re showing their pure ignorance. We have these elections every four years. And never in my days have I ever seen a bunch of ignoramuses get out in the street and parade because somebody else won the election. This is my first time I have ever seen such as this. The whole bunch of them don’t need no dough to play with. They need a psychiatrist. Thank you.

I’m tired of the election, but here we go. I watched a really good interview with Graham Nash on Kevin Smiley last night. I only watch BBC News. American news is drama and crud. And he pointed out, since he’s not leaving America, he pointed out the obvious. Two elections in the past 16 years, the popular winner has not been able to take a seat in their presidency. It goes to whoever the Electoral College decides is going to be the president. We do not have a democracy. We have a dictatorship. And I hate to see this happen in my country. I’m glad I’m getting, hopefully, towards the end of my life, because I’m a senior. And I’ve seen a lot. And I grew up under Ike, and he was the last good Republican president we’ve had.

The Democratic Party is a powerless, insignificant political party of yesterday. At the present time, they have no say-so whatsoever in policy making or even approving policy. American people has voted them completely out of office. And the reason being is because they have wreaked havoc for years on the poor, the uneducated, the elderly, and minorities. They have wreaked havoc on these people. They have brainwashed these people. They have stolen from these people. They have done everything in the world to hurt these people.

Hello, Beep. Concerning all these protests over Trump’s win. They called us Trump supporters a basket of deplorables and irredeemable. Well, that description seems to fit best those sore losers, crybaby Democratic progressives. And it’s sad to say. These sniveling, whining, robotic creatures are America’s future. This is what parents are paying college tuition for. Teachers and professors should keep their personal politics personal and out of the classroom. And this is totally pathetic. You have a good day.

Hello, Guilford County and Reid. As a veteran, it hurts me that the Democratic process worked, and there are people doing such damage and protests on the streets of sour grapes they didn’t win. I want to rain on everybody’s parade. I voted for Trump in the end, but he wasn’t my first choice. My first choice would have been our first true black president with Ben Carson. And I clarify that by saying, king – I’m sorry President Obama’s first order of business was to go visit his white grandmother before she died. So to all the ignorant people that claim we’ve had our black president, I want to know how we had that.

You know, I was watching the riots and stuff had been going on the last couple of nights. And I don’t know if anybody has ever caught this, but, as a Democrat, I can say this. You know, a Republican might get bashed at. But I am a Democrat, so I can say this. And I’m going to say. Why are they all African Americans or gays mostly that you see at these Hillary Clinton street rally riots that you see? You see them holding up the rainbow flags, or two girls holding hands, or two guys holding hands. And a bunch of African Americans. I just don’t get it. Being a Democrat, that’s not the only people we have in our party, you know?

Hi. This is in regards to the person that called in and made the comment to The Sound of the Beep about that they were in shellshock. I have a piece of advice for you, whoever you are. You need to suck it up buttercup. OK? And if you are sitting there calling those of us stupid who voted for Trump just because we wanted change in this country, then I guess I’ll proudly wear the label. For you to even say you can’t live in this country, then all I can say to you is, you need to get the heck out then. OK? Because, believe me, you will not be missed. Do the rest of us a favor and pull up either your big girl panties or your big boy pants, whichever one you are, male or female, and learn to deal with it. We had to deal with eight years of Obama. So you can deal with four years of Trump.

Yes, this is in continuation of my call for the person that called The Sound of the Beep that said they were in shellshock. When I finished reading the addendum that you had on here. You sound like you are an absolute nut, Sir or Madam. Because for you to sit there and say that all of those that voted for Trump will want to jump out a window of a 15-story building. Let me advise you, Ma’am or Sir, that’s not going to happen. So, like I said, you need to, obviously, get a grip here. And maybe those of us who voted for Trump think that y’all that supported and wanted to vote in a person that was a blatant criminal in office, maybe we think y’all are foolish. So, like I said, you need to take a chill pill and accept the fact that your candidate didn’t win.
