‘I’m a Black NAZI!’: NC GOP Nominee for Governor

‘I’m a Black NAZI!’: NC GOP Nominee for Governor Made Dozens of Disturbing Comments on Porn Forum​


Screenshots show Robinson used ‘minisoldr’ all over the internet
North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson used the same alias and email he used on Nude Africa across several social media platforms — though many of these accounts haven’t been active in years.

Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.

Despite a recent history of anti-transgender rhetoric, Robinson said he enjoyed watching transgender pornography, a review of archived messages found in which he also referred to himself as a “perv.”

The comments, which Robinson denies making, predate his entry into politics and current stint as North Carolina’s lieutenant governor. They were made under a username that CNN was able to identify as Robinson by matching a litany of biographical details and a shared email address between the two.
Many of Robinson’s comments were gratuitously sexual and lewd in nature. They were made between 2008 and 2012 on “Nude Africa,” a pornographic website that includes a message board. The comments were made under the username minisoldr, a moniker Robinson used frequently online.

Robinson listed his full name on his profile for Nude Africa, as well as an email address he used on numerous websites across the internet for decades.
In other comments on Nude Africa, Robinson discussed his affinity for transgender pornography.

“I like watching [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] on girl porn! That’s f*cking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Robinson wrote. “And yeah I’m a ‘perv’ too!”

In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Robinson repeatedly denied that he made the comments on Nude Africa.

CNN first reached out to Robinson Tuesday morning with evidence connecting him to the comments on Nude Africa. It took his campaign two days to respond and issue a denial.

Robinson, who would become North Carolina’s first Black governor if elected, also repeatedly maligned civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., attacking him in such intense terms that a user accused him of being a white supremacist.
“Get that f*cking commie bastard off the National Mall!,” Robinson wrote about the dedication of the memorial to King in Washington, DC, by then-President Barack Obama.

“I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!” Robinson responded.

CNN’s reporting on Robinson’s comments comes a few weeks after The Assembly, a North Carolina digital publication, reported that Robinson frequented local video pornography shops in the 1990s and 2000s. The story cited six people who interacted and saw him frequent the stores in Greensboro, North Carolina. A spokesperson for Robinson called the story false and a “complete fiction.”

On the Nude Africa website in both comments and his profile, minisoldr offered numerous details that align precisely with Robinson’s personal history.

In his profile, minisoldr listed his full name as “mark robinson” and disclosed a private email address Robinson used elsewhere online. In 2012, a user responded to a comment by calling minisoldr “Mark.”

On the Nude Africa website in both comments and his profile, minisoldr offered numerous details that align precisely with Robinson’s personal history.

Biographical data shared by ‘minisoldr’ online lines up with Robinson’s details

Harris being sued for lying about Project 2025


Conservative podcaster Tim Pool is suing Kamala Harris' presidential campaign for allegedly claiming that he was advocating a Donald Trump dictatorship.​
In a lawsuit filed in a West Virginia federal court on Tuesday, Pool claims that the Harris campaign falsely said that he backed the Project 2025 plan to put Donald Trump in the White House. It also states that the Harris campaign claimed Pool was advocating the execution of political enemies.​
The legal action followed a post by the Harris campaign on X, formerly Twitter, over the Labor Day weekend.​
Pool is seeking millions of dollars in compensation and claims that he has had to increase security as a result of the Harris campaign's online comments.

Democrats seethe over Teamsters’ decision to not endorse Kamala Harris

The traditionally pro-Democratic Party union was on the receiving end of the party’s ire Wednesday after announcing its nonendorsement decision and releasing its national electronic poll of its 1.3 million members showing the rank-and-file overwhelmingly support former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, 59.6% to 34%.

Stop Normalizing Trump

Protesters Outside New York Times Demand Newspaper 'Stop Normalizing Trump'https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?ur...es demand newspaper 'stop normalizing Trump'&

The New York Times has garnered criticism over the year for its reporting on Donald Trump and the 2024 election. On Wednesday, that criticism led to in-person protests outside the building.

Readers left online complaints and cancelled subscriptions before direct protests began. Their demand, according to one civil rights lawyer, is to stop "sane-washing" Trump.

The activists had bright yellow signs with words the Times has avoided using in reports such as "lies," "convict" and "felon." The group had one large black banner across the group reading "stop normalizing Trump."

As Oliver Darcy wrote for CNN in March, "Critics have also argued that The Times covers Biden and Trump with disproportionate standards, placing false equivalence on issues surrounding the current president to those of the former president, who is facing 91 criminal counts and fantasized about being a dictator on 'day one.'"

Pastor Mark Driscoll refuses city order to take down 'Jesus Christ 24' sign: 'We will not comply'

Controversial Pastor Mark Driscoll says he doesn't plan to comply with an Arizona city order to take down a campaign-style sign with the name of Jesus Christ on property surrounding his church.

Driscoll, the founding pastor of Trinity Church in Scottsdale and the now-defunct Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Washington, said during a church service on Sunday that he received an email from the city about the sign, which reads, "Jesus Christ, '24."

The letter reads in part, "We are now receiving complaints regarding a temporary sign that was erected in the ROW adjacent to the church," and adds, "this sign does not appear to be a political sign."

UN demands Israel withdraw to pre-1967 borders within a year, limiting Israel’s ability to fight terrorism

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) overwhelmingly voted to adopt a nonbinding Palestinian resolution, calling on Israel to “end without delay unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory” within a year or face consequences, including embargoes.

The resolution calls on Israel to withdraw from all territories seized after the 1967 Six-Day War, including East Jerusalem. Israel has consistently maintained that holding these territories is necessary for its defense and security.

UNGA's resolution also called on member states to refrain from selling military equipment or weapons to Israel that could be used in Palestinian territories and called for a boycott of goods produced in Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria.

Prayer: Just got oral surgery to get wisdom teeth removed today

My wisdom teeth caused a gum infection that required anti-biotics, this is one of the worst pains I experienced, before the surgery there was food trapped under the gum flap, it may have been impossible for me to reach it and get it out, it decayed and caused an infection, so I got that treated, and the wisdom teeth removed.

I hope to make a full recovery, I am finding out not to drink through a straw, remove the gauze after the bleeding stopped, don't eat crunchy or hard foods, stick to soups and mashed potato's, water, and milk. Rest with head elevated, and don't vigorously swish any liquid in the mouth to prevent dry socket. No intense exercise, make sure saliva doesn't pool up in the mouth, and breath through the mouth.

What can Christians do to combat catcalling/sexual harassment?

I feel like all our preaching of the gospel is falling on deaf hears. People don't wanna hear the good news, christians are hated, and so if we try to teach that lust is a sin or why lust is dangerous, theyll just say. "what do you know, your G-d isnt real" Science officially blinds people to the truth. And instead people try all this legislation but no amount of structures can solve the problems inherent in man. I'm young and inexperienced, and new on my journey as a christian. I'm actually a christian in secret, so does anyone know what to do?

Georgia Republicans Thinking About Late Changes to Vote Certification Processes


People who do not use sound Epistemology, and embrace conspiracy theories, are
NOT benign.

These proposed late changes in how votes are to be counted in Georgia, have
the real potential to themselves be interference with the fair voting processes
in a state.

Note that people who believe conspiracy theories, tend to want to legislate
to place manual counting systems in place. Manual vote counting systems
are less accurate than machine counting systems. (Why do we have machines,
counting money handed out at ATMs?)

Manual vote counting processes insert private individual's doubts, into a
counting system (anyone in the counting system, could hold up an election).

Doubts about manual counts, leads to more conspiracy theories.
More conspiracy theories tend to trigger more (strange) legislation).
The cycle goes on....


Christians should note that this sort of systemic doubt of careful
process, also happens in the anti-intellectual Christian groups, with
regard to careful biblical scholarship. The most uneducated Christians
want to hold the interpretation of the Scriptures in their own hands,
regardless of the best and most rigorous scholarship.

Kamala Harris mocks Trump call for mass deportation of illegal immigrants

Trump has repeatedly pledged to carry out the country’s largest-ever deportation operation after record-setting numbers of illegal US-Mexico border crossings under President Biden.

Polling shows that the idea has majority support among voters ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

A Scripps News/Ipsos poll released Wednesday found that 54% of Americans “strongly” or “somewhat” support the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, while 43% are opposed.

A CBS News/YouGov survey released in June found that 53% of Hispanic registered voters favor expelling all undocumented immigrants — and 50% support the construction of federal holding facilities to house them before deportation.

“Kamala Harris is out of touch,” said Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt.

Secret Service told local cops it would secure Butler building where would-be assassin took aim at Trump: Grassley

Officials from Butler, Pa., claim the Secret Service said it would secure the complex of buildings from where would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks took a shot at former President Donald Trump July 13.


Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) revealed the claims by local law enforcement in a letter to acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe on Tuesday.


“Butler County law enforcement officials stated that at separate times during the walkthrough when they reiterated their concerns to the agents and counter-sniper about securing the AGR complex buildings, the agents responded: ‘We will take care of it,’” Grassley wrote.

2024 Sees Significant Decline in OD Deaths, First Decline Since 2020


For the first time in decades, public health data shows a sudden and hopeful drop in drug overdose deaths across the U.S.​
"This is exciting," said Dr. Nora Volkow, head of the National Institute On Drug Abuse [NIDA], the federal laboratory charged with studying addiction. "This looks real. This looks very, very real."​
National surveys compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention already show an unprecedented decline in drug deaths of roughly 10.6 percent. That's a huge reversal from recent years when fatal overdoses regularly increased by double-digit percentages.​
Some researchers believe the data will show an even larger decline in drug deaths when federal surveys are updated to reflect improvements being seen at the state level, especially in the eastern U.S.​
"In the states that have the most rapid data collection systems, we’re seeing declines of twenty percent, thirty percent," said Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta, an expert on street drugs at the University of North Carolina.​

"Jesus is a Jew" vs "Jews killed Jesus" vs "God is (not) dead"

Please note: I am not saying I agree with any of what I will write below. Those are just some logical thoughts on how to build on some of the other misconceptions people have. Even though the starting point is what has been said, if I follow the logic I get to some really exotic things that have never been said. So I like to explore them just for their originality. With this prelude here it goes:

People say you can't say "all Jews killed Jesus" because Jesus was a Jew. But actually, even though Jesus was a Jew, He was one of the Jews that killed Jesus. In particular, "Jews killed Jesus" ==> "Jesus killed Jesus" ==> "Jesus killed Himself" ==> "Jesus chose to lay down His life" ==> "Jesus left the earth instead of spreading His teachings"

So maybe their thing is that they overlook the fact that Jesus' death provided sacrifice for our sins and, instead, they focus on the fact that due to Jesus' death, Jesus isn't around to spread His teachings any more, and they are angry at Him for this. And in this context, yes, they can be angry at the Jews other than Jesus for killing Him, but they can also be angry at Jesus for laying down His life. So they are angry at the Jews, including Jesus.

Now, you might ask: why are they angry at Jesus for withelding the rest of His teachings (by leaving the earth) instead of being thankful for him sharing what he did? Well, perhaps its both, just on different levels. Would you be angry if someone gives you 1000 dollars, but then you learn they had a billion that they chose not to share?

And being angry at Jesus for withelding His teachings (by leaving the earth) goes hand in hand with being angry at other Jews for not fulfilling their task as God's chosen people. And yes, it is possible that antisemites know that Jews are God's chosen people and thats why they are angry at them for not fulfilling their task as such. They are a lot more angry at Jews for rejecting Jesus than they are at atheists, perhaps because they subconsiously know that Jews are God's chosen so they aren't fulfilling their task. So, if they are angry at other Jews who don't fulfill their task as God's chosen people, they can be angry at ultimate God's chosen Jew (that is, Jesus) who didn't fulfill His task by leaving the Earth.

In fact they can be angry at Jewish community as a whole for not fulfilling its task as God's chosen, and simply include Jesus as part of that accusation. So, God's chosen Jewish community was about to bring about something great: Jesus. But then it had some internal struggles that caused it to withold it on multiple levels. First of all, Jewish community had an internal fight where its majority decided to kill Jesus. And secondly, Jesus, who is also a Jew, chose to be complicit at it and lay down His life. Different "bad" things went on, but they are all part of that internal problems Jews have that keeps them from being light onto nations like they are supposed to be. Hence the anger at them.

The other thing that they say is that Jesus can't be antisemitic because He is a Jew. But, in light of modern politics, you can say that Jesus is "self hating Jew" (this term has been yoused in reference to anti-zionist Jews such as Chomsky). And again, Jesus would be "self hating" in quite a literal sense, since He chose to lay down His life.

Well, at the top, I said I don't agree with what I wrote for a reason. Because I realize that ultimately God knows the best, and in God's perfect judgement it was best for Jesus to die on the cross. Jesus Himself was telling His disciples on the last supper that it would be good for them if He leaves. That plus also Jesus didn't "kill himself" in a way we would normally understand, because He resurrected and now He is alive in His glorified body. But the point is: Christian antisemites probably don't realize this. Because if Jesus' death is a good thing, then they would be thanking Jews for killing Jesus. So the fact that htey hate them instead indicates that they don't fully realize that its a good thing. They SAY they realize it, because they claim to be Christian, and this is one of the main tenats of Christianity. But just because someone understands something intellectually doesn't mean they understand it on deeper level emotionally. So it is possible that, on a deeper level, they don't truly understand that Jesus' sacrifice is a good thing (even though on doctrinal level they do) and thus they are angry at Jews for killing Jesus. Now, if on a deeper level they don't understand that its a good thing, then it only makes sense to also be angry at Jesus for leaving the earth, too.

By the way, the other misconception that is directly tied to this is the one of atheism. Remember the movie "God is not dead" God's Not Dead (film) - Wikipedia where an atheist professor asked all students to write "God is dead", and a Christian student refused. Now, I thought of a way a Christian "could" write it in good conscience. In particular, Jesus "died" on the cross, didn't he? Jesus is God. So God is dead. Now, of course, Jesus is alive in heaven. But since the souls of deceased Christians are also alive, yet those people are considered "dead", can't Jesus also be considered "dead"? And its not just a language coincidence. It actually is the reason the professor wanted them to write that. Why does atheism exists? Because God doesn't present to us the signs that we can see and touch. What does it mean to be dead? It means to live in a spiritual realm (in heaven for example) where your existence can't be proven. So Professor Radison's wish to write "God is dead" is a direct consequence of Jesus in fact dying on the cross (if Jesus didn't die on the cross, He would be around to prove His existence to stop people like Prof Radisson to want to write this).

To make it clear, I realize that this line of reasoning can be refutted by pointing out the Biblical passages about resurrection and about Jesus being the first fruit. So Jesus shouldn't be compared to souls of the deceased right now, He should be compared to the deseased after the resurrection in the future, and then they won't be dead. But as you can see we are now getting into subtleties. So saying "God is dead" might not be denial of Christianity as such, but rather not knowing those passages about first fruits.

Now, how does it relate to what I was talking about earlier? Here is how. The fallacy of being angry at Jesus for leaving the Earth, is logically connected to not realizing that what Jesus is doing in heaven counts (because we can't touch it). Wanting to say "God is dead" also logically connects to saying that what Jesus does in heaven doesn't count (to the point of saying He doesn't exist). And also: if Jews killed Jesus, then Jesus is dead (after someone kills someone, that person is dead). On the other hand, if Jesus is alive then Jews didn't kill Him (nobody did), they attempted to but they didn't succeed. Also, if Jesus is dead, then Jesus was a self hating Jew for bringing about His supposed death (see one of the earlier points). But if Jesus is alive then no He is not self hating Jew, he was doing something that fulfilled His ultimate purpose. And then we go back to the end of the movie where that student asked Radison "why do you hate God" and Radison says he hates God for not saving his mother from dying. To which student says "how can you hate someone who doesn't exist". So that confirms my point that hating Jews for not fulfilling their purpose and hating Jesus for not fulfilling His purpose is logically connected. Except that it is done by different people. Atheists (like Radison) hate Jesus for not fulfilling His purpose, while Christian antisemities hate Jews (otehr than Jesus) for the same thing.

What I am suggesting is a theoretical hybrid between an atheist and a Christian who would hate Jesus for not fulfilling His purpose (like atheists do) and hate Jews for not fulfilling theirs (like Christians do). And said hybrid would be able to say "yes Jesus is a Jew, and I hate Jesus for the same reason I hate other Jews".

Prayer Request- Victim of a Crime

HI everyone, I would greatly appreciate your prayers- I have been the victim of a crime. I have cell phone service from Verizon, I just received a bill from them for $176 due Sept 23, I checked the bill and it looks like I am being billed $100 a month for an Apple iPhone 15 that I did not buy and never received. I spent like 2 hours on the phone with Verizon this afternoon and I talked with Customer service, they sent me over to their fraud team, the fraud team sent me to customer service, then they sent me back to fraud again, and then back to customer service again. They told me it had been over 180 days since this all started so due to their regulations they could not do anything about the fraudulent charges, this started in February and I did not realize what was happening until recently. They are now saying they can remove the iPhone from my account but they will charge me $900 for it which I cannot afford, I am already maxed out on my credit card. If you wouldn't mind pray that justice would be done and the fraudulent charges would be dropped and I would not have to pay the balance of the cell phone which I never purchased. Thank you!

Kamala First Democrat In Decades To Not Get Teamsters Endorsement After Members Back Trump


The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced on Wednesday that they will not be endorsing any candidate for president this fall, the first time that they haven’t made a presidential endorsement in nearly 30 years.

The announcement came after the 1.3+ million member union released internal polling data that showed that its members shifted from supporting President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump to overwhelmingly supporting Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris after Biden dropped out of the race.


Very cowardly of the Teemsters.

Teamsters union declines to endorse in presidential election, breaking decades of precedent




Ahead of the decision, the Teamsters shared internal data showing that a majority of members supported Trump over Harris. According to an electronic member poll that was initiated after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, about 60% of members believed the union should endorse Trump while 34% supported Harris. About 6% said they supported another candidate.
