Reference the last story, here is what NC says about magistrates. Article linked at the bottom. Imagine how easily and prevalent it is, for SJW activist magistrates to release scum back into the system. Without consequences for their rulings, this will continue.
"According to the North Carolina General Assembly, magistrates are nominated to their position and do not need to hold a law degree or pass the bar exam to serve in the position.
Magistrates must be nominated by the clerk of superior court, appointed by the senior resident superior court judge, and supervised by the chief district court judge.
To be eligible to be nominated, an individual must have at least eight years of experience as a clerk of a superior court in the state or a county of the state or a law enforcement officer, have a four-year degree from an accredited institution of higher education, or a two-year associate's degree and four years of work experience in a related field.
The North Carolina Judicial Branch says that a magistrate is an "independent judicial officer, recognized by the North Carolina Constitution as an officer of the district court," and performs "numerous duties in both civil and criminal proceedings."
A magistrate serves their first term for two years, with every term after that being four years.
North Carolina is not the only state that allows magistrate judges to not pass the bar exam to serve in their position. According to a study by the Columbia Review, thirty-two states allow judges to serve without a law degree, and seventeen states don't require a judge who presides over eviction cases to have a law degree.
Over 80% of magistrates in North Carolina do not have a law degree, the study shows.
Stokes attended Cooley Law School and reportedly holds a leadership position at a local charity that focuses on mental health and addiction support.
Ten House Republicans from North Carolina signed a letter calling for formal proceedings to remove Stokes.
"This tragedy was preventable. There must be accountability. North Carolinians deserve better," Rep. Tim Moore wrote on X."
I had the pleasure of being around, and meeting Charlie Kirk when I was campaigning/fundraising for Kari Lake, and working for Blexit. We were walking in opposite directions, and he complimented my outfit. We had a quick conversation about an event.We both did in 2024. Little did I know, what was to come at that time, and the impact of the man that I was speaking with in March of this year.
I have so many emotions, and I can't put them all into words, but I am absolutely disgusted at the abhorrent things that I am hearing about this man. This just solidifies my belief that he was truly one of God's warriors. He truly loved the lord and his family with all of his heart.
Yes I am a black American woman, but most importantly; I am a daughter of the lord Jesus Christ and a relentless truth teller.
Josh, you and I were facebook friends way back in the day. We would share back and forth messages about our abusive mothers. Watching you just fills up my heart. You and I have taken a very similar path after getting slammed by the radical feminists in our old group. I have been praying for you that you would hear the lord jesus christ touching your heart. It thrills me to see you quoting the Bible.
I got saved five years ago and the freedom that I feel and the amazing opportunities that God has given me to defend and speak on the behalf of Americans who happen to be white, and I will not stop.
When my press conference with Kari Lake got viral attention in conservative spaces; I endured bullying from both black and white liberals alike. These people are truly satanic. I am aware of what you have gone through, and obviously Im deeply hurt about what has happened this week.
We are in a spiritual battle, that is ramping up. I have some information for you that I would love to put you onto. Please Google "Soul On Ice Eldridge Cleaver r@pe of black and white women". I'm not really sure what the censorship rules are on this platform, or else I would just post the excerpt from the book written by the former Black Panther. I think it will help you to make some sense about what happened to Iryna Zarutska. I don't care about being called a race traitor, because they hate me too.
Thank you for saying hi, Jade:) I’m sorry we traveled the road we did, but I’m glad we ended up where we are.
I know how it must be for you. I don’t need to be black to understand—I’m a human who gets the same shit for my own demographic. We understand each other.
Josh, I have more in common with you then some hoodrat heffa twerking on a cop car. I watch you, and clap. Even when I don't agree ( which has only really been like one or two times); it doesn't make me angry, i just wish I could share my perspective with you which I actually think you would agree on. For example, do you remember years ago when you did an episode about black women and their complaint about white people touching their hair? I wanted to tell you that it does happen, but it's white liberal women. It's a combination of them trying to trauma bond, fetishize, and resolve their own weird white guilt like " See, I don't hate you because I'm touching you." I'm no longer nuts, so I didn't get mad at you; I just wanna be your based, black conservative sista' friend. I am not ashamed to talk about the pathologies of the black community.
In the comments of one of your most recent episodes, I tried to put you on to the whole "tragic mulatto complex". Of course YouTube deleted my comment.
I also want to tell you about my boyfriend's Cluster B ex. So much material.
Anyway, the whole point of that was that I agree you don't have to be a black woman and I don't have to be a gay man for us to relate.
Lastly, i am beyond blessed that I actually got to have a conversation with Charlie. I am gutted.
Trust me, Jade, I know some of those white liberal women. They used to be my friends until I saw them for what they were several years ago and ran in the opposite direction really fast. There are nothing more than a bunch of virtue signaling hypocrites. They think they’re out to save helpless people. But what they forgot to do is ask in advance if the helpless people were in fact, helpless or Needed saving.
I also have some conservative black commentators, documentarians, and authors that I think you would love. If you are not familiar with Chad O Jackson, Carmen Jaycee ,Vincent Everett Everett Ellison ellison, and April Chapman; you can find them on YouTube tackling black cultural pathology.
Josh I was sceptical before I saw the Facebook posts by the murderer's mother. They are creepy and inappropriate. I don't know what caused that psychopath to murder Charlie Kirk but you are 100% correct about the creepy enmeshment driven by his mother.
It's easy to watch this and assume that you are projecting your own trauma onto the Robinson family, but I hope that people don't assume that, because they'd be incorrect. What you are talking about with his mom isn't projection, and you're right. Some of us see it too, and kudos to you for boldly pointing it out. I watch your podcast because of your boldness, and I hope you never lose that because it's amazing.
As for your uncertainty about the existence of God, too many people assume that it's just 'faith.' There are very logical arguments, however, in favor of His existence, and I would love to have a discussion with you at some point about that--not in the "let me preach to you" sense, but in the "I want to hear your side" sense.
What you do is so important, and I know that you know that so I won't belabor the point with effusive praise. You don't need validation from internet randos. Just know that there are those of us for whom it matters.
I’m an atheist and have been since I was about 16 and I’m 74 now. You don’t need to be a Christian to be morally good or ethically sound. There is no evidence that Christians are better people than atheists and I would argue that the opposite is true. Atheists tend to quite peaceful people, we don’t wage war on other countries and people because they don’t worship the right god, or because they do worship the right god but not in the right way. History is replete with the terrible things that men will do in the name of their god or gods. Christianity claims the Ten Commandments as its moral base, even though the Ten Commandments come from Judaism and not Christianity. Rules and laws similar to the Ten Commandments, except the god stuff, existed long before Judaism or Christianity were invented. Without laws proscribing murder, theft, adultery and other actions villages would not have been possible which, in turn, means that towns would not have been possible which means, in turn, that cities would not have been possible. Christianity, nor any other religion, has a monopoly on morality, Christians just like to claim that it does.
„There is no evidence that Christians are better people than atheists and I would argue that the opposite is true.

History is replete with the terrible things that men will do in the name of their god or gods.”
- I used to think exactly that and then I realised that atheists usually worship secular religions like social justice, human rights, transgenderism, alternative medicine, witchcraft. Even science can be substitute for religion if someone treats critical thinking and open inquiry like heresy and search in science for moral directions.
Thank you Josh for a very powerful show. And thank you for yesterday's spaces (or whatever that's called). A few observations:
1. There are still good people on our side that believe you can somehow communicate, negotiate or shine the light for people celebrating these two deaths. You can't. Those people are gone. I heard a Youtuber yesterday say that free speech does not mean free of consequences. These people need to feel repercussions for their horrific videos and posts. Like losing a job and having what they did appear on any background check
2. Antifa, BLM, and the various "trans" groups need to be labeled terrorists groups and treated accordingly. Their funding sources, particularly if from government need to be cut. Their leaders need to be investigated for crimes and if warranted prosecuted
3. A lot is being said about the Corporate Media. They are no longer the Main Stream Media by the viewership numbers. While these networks are full of vile, repulsive human beings it's not some lowlife like Lawrence O'Donnell radicalizing these troubled young people. It's the radical groups, the NGOs and the Non Profits. The Corporate Media while somewhat problematic is fading away
4. Finally, the "normies" need to wake up. They blindly go into a voting both and pull the lever for "Ds" because they believe "Ds" are on the side of good. If that is their belief today there are now instrumental to and part of the problem.
You don't sound "simple/religious" , you sound "simple/Christian Nationalist."
Here is a bible quote for you to chew on:
“Have you allowed all the women to live?” he [Moses] asked them. “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord’s people. Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
I am glad you warned folks about the violent content but I feel awful that you encouraged it and i think it was a mistake. Anyone who hasn’t watched it, please do not.
Literally felt awful . Pit of my stomach clenching. I believe you just scolded me? I went more in depth on a comment on your channel. I wanted to hear what you had to say but i do not want/cannot see the footage. I am a therapist. I work with a lot of traumatized people. I don’t believe many people are equipped to process watching someone’s throat ripped out by a bullet , especially someone they care about. I am still trying to process what happened without having seen it. Imagination does wonders. I wrote what I wrote from a place of feeling disturbed by the thought of accidentally seeing the footage. And from the thought of others thinking they would be doing “the right thing” to watch it. Emotions are running high right now. Sorry that you felt scolded. It wasn’t my intention. I am heartbroken angry and disgusted by what happened to Charlie. I think we are on the same side with this.
You are trying to make your emotions my responsibility. As a therapist, you shouldn’t do that.
Your emotions are your responsibility. Your decision to view or not view the footage is your responsibility.
You’re trying to make me feel guilty for “encouraging” other people to watch it.
Very typical female manipulation, and I won’t have it, and I won’t let you wriggle out of it either. No, you’re not the victim of me.
We may be on the same side on many things, but I am definitely not on your side with bullshit manipulation. Don’t do it again or I’ll be even harsher with you than I am right now.
Ah yes, passive aggression poorly disguised as an "apology..." I've noticed anytime someone starts a supposed apology with "Sorry that YOU..." it's disingenuous bullshit. The man gave more than ample warning for everyone and has the absolute right to declare the importance of adults seeing these videos. More passive aggression with "Did I make that up?" after another fake mea culpa. I fully agree with the importance of watching the "unsanitized" versions of both to fully grasp the depth of evil.
It was a genuine question. If, as you say, he did declare the importance, then i didn’t make it up. Since we are analyzing each-other’s communication, yours drips with self satisfied condescension , and you sound like you are getting off on assuming my bad intent.
Okay. I am not aware of “trying to make my emotions your responsibility.” It sounds like you are telling me what i meant to do. My purpose wasn’t to make you feel guilty. It was to tell you how i felt about the situation. Maybe you felt guilty? I don’t know. Maybe you are trying to make me responsible for your emotions? I don’t know. I have been a long time fan and even consulted with you once, so this interaction is definitely upsetting. I just watched you on a panel of therapists I respect. You write a lot about female manipulation so I know you are hyper alert to it. While there are always things we are not aware of in ourselves, If I was trying to manipulate you I have no awareness of it, even having reflected on it honestly. I have been as honest as I could be and I understand that in your view I fell severely short. My attempt at a repair also fell short. I think I expressed a strong feeling about something I felt strongly about and I judged something you were doing as harmful. I get why you wouldn’t like that, but I don’t see that I did it as badly and wrongly as you believe. I know I could have been more clear. If I did truly botch it, please know that my intentions were good.
You are receiving pushback; because you made the decision to watch, despite warnings. What do you think you were gonna see? It's not too late for you to apologize, for making another adult responsible for your emotions. If you are a therapist, you should also be aware of trauma and violence. You could've skipped that part of the show, or the entire episode. You are a big girl grown woman, who is responsible for her actions.
When you got to the part talking about the assassin's mother, and you said you were telling your audience about it out of love, it reminded me that someone said that Charlie Kirk didn't go to college campuses to debate students because he hated them, but because he loved them. People don't understand that coddling others so their feelings won't get hurt is not loving at all. It's selfish to try to avoid stepping on people's toes because the motivation is not love, it's about trying not to be seen as "mean".
I find myself grappling with the question of God's existence, a struggle that occupies my thoughts endlessly. Yet amidst this uncertainty, one truth shines brightly: we must strive to live as though He is real. It may seem simplistic or overly pious, but this conviction carries profound significance.
Right and wrong are not merely subjective judgments; they reside deep within us, waiting to be acknowledged. Every day, we witness this truth play out in our society and culture, where people often suppress their innate understanding. The whispers of conscience are drowned out by the cacophony of modern ideals, but beneath it all, the immutable truth remains, etched in the fabric of our humanity.
We find ourselves ensnared in a fierce moral struggle, a battle for our very souls, individually, as a nation, and across the Western world. Open the pages of the Bible, or simply pause to reflect on the timeless wisdom it offers. One need not embrace the supernatural to glean insights about the depths of human nature; the lessons contained within resonate with our shared experiences.
If we falter in our commitment to uphold what is right, who will stand in the gap?
Excellent episode Josh.

I didn’t encourage anything wrong. Do not make that kind of accusation, especially when you’re not specific.
I don’t care that you “feel awful.” Don’t you ever scold me like that, woman. I don’t tolerate it from anyone.
I wasn’t scolding you. I

The whispers of conscience are drowned out by the cacophony of modern ideals, but beneath it all, the immutable truth remains, etched in the fabric of our humanity.
We find ourselves ensnared in a fierce moral struggle, a battle for our very souls, individually, as a nation, and across the Western world. Open the pages of the Bible, or simply pause to reflect on the timeless wisdom it offers. One need not embrace the supernatural to glean insights about the depths of human nature; the lessons contained within resonate with our shared experiences.
If we falter in our commitment to uphold what is right, who will stand in the gap?
IIRC, the Bible states “Gods law is written onto the hearts of everyman”. That’s that instinct of right and wrong talking.
