As a resident of North Carolina, the recent news about the removal of 747,000 individuals from the voter rolls citing ineligibility is a cause for concern. The reasons provided for such massive removals range from individuals moving out of state, passing away, to not participating in the last two federal elections. On the surface, some of these reasons seem legitimate, such as convicted felons or individuals who have moved out of state. However, the issue arises when we consider those who have moved within the state but failed to update their address or those who have not voted in the past two federal elections.… Continue reading
Kamala Harris will flip two critical Trump states, says Ex-RNC Chair. Imagine a world where the tide turns, and we witness a monumental shift in the political landscape. The stakes are high, the tension palpable, and the possibility of change looms on the horizon. Florida and North Carolina, two key battleground states, are within striking distance of being flipped, according to Michael Steele, the former RNC Chair. The prospect of Harris emerging victorious in these states is not just a fleeting hope but a tangible reality that could shape the course of history.
In the realm of politics, nothing is certain until the votes are cast and the results are tallied.… Continue reading
Nearly all of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s campaign staff quitting after a CNN report is a telling sign of the chaos that must be brewing within his campaign. To see such a mass exodus of his team is not only shocking but also quite concerning. It raises a lot of questions about the kind of person Robinson truly is and what led to this abrupt departure of his closest advisors.
The fact that Robinson openly bragged about being a black Nazi and made comments defending slavery is not only disturbing but downright appalling. How can someone in a position of power hold such reprehensible beliefs?… Continue reading
As I sit here contemplating the news surrounding North Carolina Lieutenant Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for governor, I find myself shaking my head in disbelief. The revelations about his past statements on a porn site message board where he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reviving slavery are deeply troubling. The fact that he also admitted to enjoying porn featuring trans performers only adds to the shock and dismay.
What is even more disturbing is the comparison made by former President Trump, who once complimented Robinson as “MLK on steroids” and “better than MLK.”… Continue reading
This situation is absolutely mind-boggling. How can someone who called himself a ‘Black Nazi’ and expressed such appalling views about slavery and Martin Luther King Jr. be considered a viable candidate for governor? Mark Robinson’s statements are not only offensive and derogatory but also deeply concerning. The fact that he is currently the Lieutenant Governor is truly alarming, and the thought of him potentially becoming the governor of North Carolina is terrifying.
It is shocking to see how someone in a position of power can hold such abhorrent beliefs and actively promote conspiracy theories. Robinson’s comments about wanting slavery to be brought back and enjoying porn featuring trans performers are not only disturbing but also highlight a serious lack of empathy and understanding.… Continue reading
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has sabotaged early voting in a critical swing state, and the implications of his actions are deeply troubling. The North Carolina Supreme Court’s decision to compel election administrators to destroy nearly 3 million already-printed ballots featuring Kennedy’s name is a blatant disregard for the democratic process. The court’s ruling will delay the distribution of new ballots, unlawfully abridge early voting, and jeopardize the voting rights of service members overseas. This flagrant violation of federal statutes underscores the corruption and manipulation that pervade our electoral system.
It is infuriating to see how Kennedy’s last-minute request for removal, filed after the deadline had passed, has caused significant chaos and confusion in the election process.… Continue reading
The Trump campaign has once again found itself in a predicament, being forced to pay the city of Asheville, North Carolina, a whopping $82,000 in advance for hosting a rally. The smaller venue, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, was chosen for Wednesday’s event, with a capacity of just 2,431 people. Interestingly, there is a larger arena next door with a capacity of 7,200, but it seems the campaign opted for the smaller space.
This situation sheds light on Trump’s well-known history of failing to pay cities for rally fees, leaving a massive debt behind when he departed the White House in January 2021.… Continue reading
I cannot begin to express the horror and despair I feel after learning about the tragic death of a 12-year-old child at a camp in North Carolina for troubled youth. The fact that this innocent child was deemed “troubled” and sent to a camp for so-called “tough love” is outrageous. The details of his death being ruled a homicide are beyond comprehension. The idea that parents would pay strangers to essentially abduct their child, without any regard for his well-being, is unimaginable.
The account of sealing the child in an airtight tent while he had a panic attack is absolutely chilling.… Continue reading
As a resident of North Carolina, the idea of Joe Biden making an aggressive play to turn the state blue is both exciting and daunting. For far too long, my home state has been a Republican stronghold, with disappointments in past elections leaving many feeling disheartened. The prospect of seeing the state shift from red to blue is invigorating, especially with the influx of individuals moving here, potentially bringing with them more progressive ideologies.
The close margin by which Donald Trump won North Carolina in the 2020 election shows that the state is indeed a battleground. With polls indicating a tight race between Biden and Trump, every vote truly does count in such a crucial swing state.… Continue reading
As a person who often struggles with respiratory issues, the news of North Carolina Republicans voting to ban masks in public, even for cancer patients, is truly disheartening. The idea that a simple piece of cloth, which is meant to protect not only the wearer but also those around them, can now be deemed illegal is incomprehensible. It is astounding to think that in this day and age, there are still individuals who prioritize their own ideologies over the health and safety of others.
The reasoning behind this decision, supposedly to assist police in identifying protesters, is flawed at best. Expecting law enforcement to exercise “common sense” in discerning between a cancer patient wearing a mask for medical reasons versus a criminal attempting to hide their identity is a recipe for disaster.… Continue reading
