The Diplowife and I attended the annual NC GOP Abraham Lincoln-Frederick Douglass-Ronald Reagan gala in downtown Wilmington. Must have been well over 1000 people at this sold-out event. The big attraction was an address by current North Carolina Lt. Governor and candidate for Governor Mark Robinson. I have mentioned him before (here) when I heard him speak at the NC GOP Convention where he blasted one out of the park with a real barn-burner of a speech.
Well, he did it again.
The man is a genuinely awesome speaker, can speak for well over an hour with no notes, no teleprompter, and deliver a powerful conservative message. He is a wonderful throwback to the Black Southern preachers who could speak and rouse a crowd. He is patriotic, funny, humble, biting, witty, etc., everything you want in a speaker. I am voting for him to be the next governor of North Carolina. I recommend you get his speeches--unedited, if you can--on YouTube.
My only concern is his health. He is very overweight, and clearly seems to have high blood pressure, and, probably, diabetes. He needs to take better care of himself, as he is the sort that is a liberal Democrat's nightmare.
Will be on the watch for that guy. Maybe a month to get him into ketosis, stay there for a year, and he'll be good to go.
ReplyDeleteAre we talking presidential run?
In the last two days, Erdogan has opined that Ukraine should be part of NATO and he released high value ukrainian POWs back to Ukraine supposedly against his agreement with Putin. Seems like something has qualitatively changed in Putin's status.

Something has qualitatively changed in the last
Strongly agree with above. To his--and all readers'--health!! If he does 20-30 grams of carbs a day, he can drop 100 pounds easy over the next 12 months--without ever being hungry. Fat men do this--gals--not quite so much.) No more Type Two diabetes, or hypertension. It works! Most people drop all their drugs. It's doable ANYWHERE--go ahead and order that double cheeseburger. Ask for a fork, throw away the bun. Viola!
DeleteFirst time I saw him was on a video of a town council in Greensboro, I believe, meeting to discuss some gun control measure. He was a private citizen and was articulate, courteous and reasoned in his intervention. I remember thinking, we need more of this.
ReplyDeleteI hope he tackles his weight as that is a worry.
oh... that guy.... I didn't catch he was the same person... wow... what a rise
