- I decided to try and start the new week off on a positive high note. But I suspect things will turn into crap soon enough.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee in the North Carolina governor’s race, gave his thoughts on abortion rights during a meet and greet in Mecklenburg County on Friday, while also criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’ position on the issue.
In his speech, Robinson accused Democrats of not focusing on issues such as the economy, public education, and law enforcement, which he argued were the biggest issues in the nation and North Carolina. He referred to the Democrats’ focus on abortion rights as “misdirection” from these issues.
The lieutenant governor argued abortion is a state issue, noting the US Supreme Court ruled the federal government did not have authority on abortion rights. He criticized Harris for saying she would restore federal protection of abortion rights during her debate with former president Donald Trump on Tuesday.
“Kamala Harris wants to talk about [abortion] at the federal level,” Robinson said. “I watched that debate and thought to myself, lady are you stupid or are you deaf? What is wrong with you? The Supreme Court has spoken at the federal level and said the federal government has no business in that.”

During a recent interview with Chief Nerd on X (@TheChiefNerd), 2024 presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped a bomb about the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), calling it "a criminal organization."
Before interviewer Calley Means could even get done explaining the corruption behind the AAP, Kennedy interjected that the organization is untrustworthy and not worth the advice it dispenses.
"That is a criminal organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics, because doctors actually believe them," Kennedy shot back after Means revealed that the AAP wants the injectable weight-loss drug Ozempic, rather than proper diet, to be the first line of defense for 12-year-old children.
"So they're extremely dangerous," Kennedy continued. "And the doctors don't know that they just work for the pharmaceutical companies and they work for the food industry."
Means responded in agreement to Kennedy's statements about the AAP. A former industry consultant himself, Means recalled seeing AAP corruption way back when during the early days of his tenure.
"It's a huge problem," Means explained. "I'll take it to when I was an early career consultant for the food and pharma industries. The AAP actually did partnerships with Coke."
According to Means, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) also took millions of dollars from Coke.
"I helped funnel it," Means admitted about the role he personally played in facilitating cash transfers between the ADA and the junk food industry.
"Diabetes, which is literally caused by the weapon of mass destruction for blood sugar issues: liquid sugar, they didn't denounce Coke – they took money from them."
After using Ukraine as its proxy for the past year-and-a-half, NATO is preparing to drag itself fully into the country’s war with Russia as U.K. and U.S. leaders are reportedly set to allow the Ukrainian military to launch long-distance missiles far into Russia.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken joined U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy on a trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, on Wednesday to discuss the possibility of allowing the Volodymyr Zelensky regime to strike deep into Russia with Western long-range missiles.
Responding to the news, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a precise explanation as to why his country would see such an act as NATO nations officially entering the war against his nation.
“We are not talking about authorizing or banning the Kyiv regime from striking across the entire territory. It is already striking with the help of drones other means. But, when it comes to using high-precision, long-range, Western-made weapons, it’s a completely different story,” he said.
Putin continued to explain Ukraine “cannot” launch these weapons without U.S. or U.K. intelligence using NATO country satellites.
The Russian leader said the “key” thing to know is that “only NATO servicemen can, in fact, enter the flight assignments into these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this.”
Summarizing his statement, Putin added, “So, this is not about allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not. It is about deciding whether or not NATO countries are directly involved in a military conflict or not.”
“If the decision is made, it will mean nothing other than the direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, European countries, in the war in Ukraine. This is their direct participation… This significantly changes the essence, the very nature of the conflict,” he stated.
Ending his remarks, Putin told the world if the West follows through with the decision, “We will take appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us.”
I refuse to be a puppet on the strings of the corrupt media complex. I will not dance on command to their latest propaganda.
