As philosophers and military commanders have observed since antiquity — The best defense is a good offense. (The Frantics credited “Mel, the cook on Alice” in their hilarious Tae Kwon Leap skit. Many people might think of Vince Lombardi ahead of Vic Tayback.)
Now we get to see whether that works in politics.
Last month, CNN reported that North Carolina lieutenant governor Mark Robinson — currently the GOP nominee for governor — frequented porn sites two decades ago and left racist and misogynist comments on the content, including identifying as a “black Nazi.” Robinson vehemently denied the allegations at the time, and managed to survive a last-minute attempt to replace him on the ballot. Nevertheless, Robinson’s polling has nose-dived in a state where Republicans are usually competitive, and he now trails Democrat Josh Stein by 16 points.
Today, Robinson fired back, launching a $50 million defamation suit against CNN and presumably reporter Andrew Kaczynski. Robinson and his attorney claim that CNN ignored potentially contradictory evidence of identity theft and published the material with actual malice:
Robinson, who announced the lawsuit at a news conference in Raleigh with a Virginia-based attorney, has denied authoring the messages.
CNN “chose to publish despite knowing or recklessly disregarding that Lt. Gov. Robinson’s data — including his name, date of birth, passwords, and the email address supposedly associated with the NudeAfrica account — were previously compromised by multiple data breaches,” the lawsuit states, referencing the website.
Robinson, who would be the state’s first Black governor if elected, called the report a “high-tech lynching” against a candidate “who has been targeted from Day 1 by folks who disagree with me politically and want to see me destroyed.” […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
Mark is the one guy I was enthusiastic about voting for. But this makes him look like he’s just after money. He’d be better off to just own up and confess to a porn addiction, whether or not he made the posts in question. There’s no money or political gain involved in that, but it is a far better witness for the Lord. Most Christians are more concerned with whether or not he repented, and turned away from it, than how much he strayed 20-30 years ago. Where does he stand right now. That’s what I’m concerned about. He has a great opportunity to condemn porn along with all sexual immorality.
There are far more than two or three witnesses, and the diligent inquiry, required by scripture. There’s little doubt he did watch a lot of porn. Whether or not he made the comments about slavery, nazism, etc. is not as clear. But the porn itself is bad enough, for a man professing to be a born again Christian.
About 20 years ago, I myself got into looking at online porn. It started out somewhat innocent. An ad pops up, you follow it, the next thing you know you’re looking at it. And it continued and worsened for about two months, before one day I said some things to a girl that were sinful, and I realized how bad things had gotten. That’s when the conscience went from a quiet voice to a yell. That’s when I repented. And that is the nature of sexual sin. It is never the first sin. It is always the culmination of many sins, worsening over time.
And, as far as that goes, that’s exactly why we know that this republican platform, which is basically the democrat platform of twenty years ago, will stop nothing. As is said, about the only difference between democrats and republicans, both on the broad way the leads to destruction, is that republicans go the speed limit. (whatever limit that might suggest, it’s not God’s limits – His speed limit on that road is zero mph)
I was enthusiastic about voting for Mark specifically because he goes against his own party, and against the big money donors, on issues of importance to Christians, and stands firm in those convictions.
Now the question is, well, is this guy for real, or is he just another fake, fraud, impostor and infiltrator, controlled opposition … ??
He should, first and foremost, be standing up and condemning any and all sexual immorality, even his own of the past. But he apparently hasn’t, at least hasn’t condemned porn. Instead he’s going after CNN, seeking monetary compensation. So is it all about himself, or is it about serving the Lord?
As far as that goes, I could even forgive some of the comments. Every man knows. When you’re young and horny, you’ll say about anything. I certainly did. And I’m certainly not proud of it. As Christians we know that the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit takes time. The pressures of this world are tremendous. Much of modern behavioral, social, and medical “‘science” even says that porn and sexual immorality is healthy. And if you don’t allow yourself to be drawn into it, you’re deemed to have something wrong with you. When we know, that’s nothing more than wicked people in white coats trying to justify their own sin.
That is at the root of everything we now face. Even the slaughter of the unborn is a matter of sexual sin.
If Mark wants to win the election, he needs to stand up and condemn it all, even his own. He’s going to have to make it known that he’s serving the Lord, concerned for his brothers and sisters in Christ, and concerned about eternal matters, more than his own reputation, career, and wallet. If he can do that, I’ll vote for him. If he can’t do that, then he can’t fight the good fight for us, especially as it relates to whether or not the government and powers that be are to respect our conscience, as a matter of first serving the Lord. He’s got to carry that cross. As we all must. The Lord must come first in all things, no matter the cost.
A man is not where he needs to be until his fear of the Lord far outweighs his fear of the world …
And that is something that cannot be faked.
Only then is he fit to lead …
