Election 2024

North Carolina’s GOP gubernatorial candidate, Mark Robinson, defied calls to drop out after CNN reported that he had posted a series of offensive messages on a porn-focused message board, including one in which he called himself a “black NAZI.”  Robinson has a history of offensive remarks. He has quoted Adolf Hitler.

Trump has lavished weird praise on Robinson, once praising him as “Martin Luther King on steroids” and musing that Robinson was “better” than MLK.

In posts on an online porn forum more than a decade ago, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina, the Republican nominee for governor, described himself as a “black NAZI” and defended slavery. He claims a lack of Christian teachings is to blame for school shootings. Meanwhile, Trump said “the Jewish people would have a lot to do” and should be blamed when he loses the election, describing Jews who vote for Democrats as “voting for the enemy.”

Stocks reached new highs after the Fed’s rate cut fueled financial optimism.

Mortgage rates continued to drop, which could reinvigorate the housing market.

Inflation is under control with gas and groceries getting cheaper.
