										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most Americans STILL don&#8217;t know that leftist Democrat activists and federal employees <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2022/05/15/2020-the-insurrection-that-wasnt-only-because-the-left-got-their-way/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actively plotted to overthrow the government</a> if Donald Trump was reelected by The People. This, by far, was more insidious that anything that was &#8220;planned&#8221; and/or carried out on January 6th.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the PROOF in their own words&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v3j9x9o/?pub=6btuj" width="750" height="421" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Resist-2.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15855 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Resist-2-150x103.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="103" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Resist-2-150x103.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Resist-2-768x525.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Resist-2.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>NONE of the above footage has been shared on Fox News, CNN, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, The New York Times, the Washington Post, Politico, The Hill, the Daily Beast, Huffington Post, Teen Vogue, or any other media entity. Had these been #MAGA Republicans and conservatives within the federal government, the headlines would have been deafening and the DOJ would be quite busy rounding up genuine insurrectionists. Had these liberal Democrats been pushed to launch their self-described &#8220;coup&#8221; against the Trump Administration, who knows what kind of carnage would have been unleashed upon the nation from Election Day on.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>It is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they&#8217;re planning to do themselves.</strong></span><br />

<p>The &#8220;Summer of 2020&#8221; would have been a mild pretext to the death and destruction that would have ensued.</p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s to say these same people are not preparing for Election Day 2024? To date, NONE of them have been arrested and charged with &#8220;insurrection&#8221; and it&#8217;s fair to assume that&#8217;s left them emboldened to plot another coup against an incoming Trump transition.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gentry.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-26585 size-medium" title="&quot;Former CIA intelligence analyst Dr. John Gentry spoke to Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview about his new book &quot;Neutering the CIA,&quot; DEI, and the 2024 election. &quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gentry-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gentry-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gentry-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gentry-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gentry.jpg 896w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>My guess is that the proverbial deep state within the intelligence community will reemerge because presumably a Republican candidate will again be seen as a threat to the internal policies that many intelligence people like.</span><br />

<p>Democrats have a lot to lose in 2024, power being the top of the list but not most important to the apparatus.</p>
<p>Thousands of federal employees could lose their cush taxpayer-funded gigs within months of a Trump inauguration. Like it or not, they are employed to serve at the pleasure of the elected President of the United States. During the four-plus years of the Trump Administration, there were many public displays of insubordination and those efforts were cheered on by the media. President Trump signed a <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2022/07/06/2025-trump-will-drain-the-swamp-re-invoke-long-overdue-schedule-f/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Schedule F</a> executive order near the end of his first term, and that EO was quietly rescinded by Joe Biden almost immediately after he was sworn in.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Trump-Russia.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-26586 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Trump-Russia-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Trump-Russia-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Trump-Russia.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>While the left and their media enjoyed the persecution and imprisoning of Joe Biden&#8217;s political opponents, they will be the first to remind an incoming President Trump not to engage in petty, vindictive acts of revenge. But there <span style="text-decoration: underline;">will</span> be lots to investigate. Many people who tried to disrupt the 2016 Trump Transition Team and his presidency with false claims from dirty tricks have yet to lawyer-up and face the music for the drama (including undeserved impeachments) they created and the &#8220;baggage&#8221; Trump is said to have because of those dirty trick slanders.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>It is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they&#8217;re planning to do themselves.</strong></span><br />

<p>The media will again go into 24-7 anti-Trump mode despite the fact most repeated lies for years and have yet to admit and apologize for their misinformation. They will double down and further prove they don&#8217;t deserve the <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2023/08/03/partisan-media-forfeited-1st-amendment-protection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">First Amendment protections</a> afforded a free and fair watchdog media. These are partisan activists and ignorant college hires who&#8217;ll repeat falsehoods who, despite the fact they&#8217;ll now be called on their lies on Elon Musk&#8217;s X, will continue to fan partisan flames to those who are too stupid and/or arrogant to admit they&#8217;re being used.</p>

Given the determination of those unpunished leftists, I say the chances are very good.</p>
<p>The left has no problem taking to the streets, vandalizing public and private property, disrupting traffic, burning down black neighborhoods, looting, assaulting law enforcement and killing private citizens.</p>
<p>Taking over the federal government to stop the &#8220;peaceful transition of power&#8221; is a simple task when that transition will be &#8220;mostly peaceful&#8221;&#8230;.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fox News Channel&#8217;s Bret Baier had a polite, yet contentious conversation with Donald Trump, among other things, over the 2020 election result.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-25802" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier-800x449.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Trump-Baier.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">Former President Trump and Fox News anchor Bret Baier argued over Trump’s false claims of a rigged election in 2020 during a contentious interview that aired Monday on the network.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">“First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot,” Trump said when Baier asked him how he plans to appeal to independent voters in 2024. “You know that’s not what … ” Baier interjected as Trump talked over him.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">The former president floated unfounded theories about ballot harvesting and voter fraud, to which Baier pushed back, saying, “Mr. President that’s all been looked into. You lost the 2020 election,” Baier told Trump, noting the numerous recounts and lawsuits that followed Trump’s refusal to admit defeat in the weeks after the election.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4057551-trump-foxs-bret-baier-spar-over-his-2020-election-claims/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill, 6/19/23</a></p>
<p>The Founding Fathers gave the media protection in the First Amendment of the Constitution with the caveat that they keep the public informed. It didn&#8217;t have to be said that the information presented be accurate. Maybe it should&#8217;ve been. Especially over the last decade, the media has made numerous declarations and a good portion of the populace believed them. As usual, when those declarations turned out to be untrue, corrections are buried if issued at all. Apologies? Zip, zero, nada.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5863 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff-150x113.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff-150x113.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff-500x375.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/CNN-Sraff.jpg 634w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">Does</span></span><span style="color: #333399;"> </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/10/chris-cuomo-allegedly-blasted-janice-dean-as-that-fox-weather-bitch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN ever apologize</a> <span style="color: #333399;">for getting it wrong — putting out false or deliberately misleading information — again and again and again and again and again?</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">No, CNN simply pretends all of this failure derives from good-faith errors rather than wishcasting and flamboyantly</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/11/30/chris-cuomo-forfeited-his-trust-with-viewers-cnn-needs-to-fire-him/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obvious partisan hackery<span style="color: #333399;">,</span></a><span style="color: #333399;"> then dials the whataboutism up to 11.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/10/dont-expect-media-mea-culpa-too-eager-to-fall-for-jussie-smolletts-hoax/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post, 10/12/21</a></p>
<p>The lack of contrition is expected because some of the overpaid in the media risk loss of their income should the public not trust them. Brian Williams seems to be one of the exceptions of a busted liar who continues to get high paying gigs while a laughing stock. But the media gets it wrong so often, it takes a certain amount of chutzpah to insist the public accept them at their word, for example, when it comes to the 2020 election as the &#8220;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/2020-election-most-secure-history-dhs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most secure in history</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>In fact, the media is wrong so often, there are posts dedicated to not letting the arrogant off the hook so easily.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ODonnell-MSNBC.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-21762 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ODonnell-MSNBC-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ODonnell-MSNBC-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ODonnell-MSNBC.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">There is a major source of misinformation that’s rarely mentioned in news stories — the news media themselves.

The research team expected the Russian effort to be a major source of disinformation, and it was. But they discovered that traditional media were a larger contributor.</span><br />

<p>You may find ironic and humorous when some of the gross offenders offer sanctimonious introspection only after all harm was done.</p>
<p>And probably the biggest middle finger-mocking of the media and Joe Biden they are protecting, resulted in the slogan-turned-hashtag, found on social media sites and auto bumpers to this day&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">NBC NASCAR reporter Kelli Stavast is either hard of hearing, or a very, very quick thinker.</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8230;</span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s best not to believe any media story nowadays. They&#8217;ve clearly earned the mistrust.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-10991 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View-150x85.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="85" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View-500x282.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Gaetz-The-View.jpg 762w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Sadly, they also depend on their consumers being too lazy to do the due diligence and investigate further on their own, which unfortunately explains how easy it is to continue to include &#8220;The View&#8221; under the ABC News banner.</p>
<p>But when the media insists you believe masks work and vaccines are safe, climate catastrophes a century from now can be prevented today, elections where Democrats win should always be accepted, and especially when they insist you believe them because they say so, have one word at the ready&#8230;</p>
<p>Why?</p>

<strong><a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/journalists-who-lied/mel-judson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journalists Who Were Caught Lying</a></strong></p>
<p>At least one instance was immortalized&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">New Republic reporter Stephen Glass was caught lying for three solid years, writing articles about events and human beings that never existed. Glass, the associate editor at the time, was fired by in the summer of 1998 and became the subject of the Hayden Christensen movie &#8220;Shattered Glass&#8221;.</span><br />

<p>Again, these are only the instances of journalistic dishonesty we know of and that&#8217;s been reported: take their word for it.</p>
<p>These are the same people who believe it&#8217;s their job to tear down those who violate societal and/or political norms but when they intentionally mislead, their publications either issue muted corrections or delete pieces altogether to cover inconvenient tracks.</p>
<p>Being a journalist is an immense responsibility best left to those who observe classic professional ethics and proven integrity. Two qualifications that is clearly lacking today and there doesn&#8217;t appear to be much that can assure the public that the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is something guaranteed to come from the media.</p>

<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/pentagon-denies-abc-news-report-that-intelligence-warned-of-cataclysmic-coronavirus-pandemic-last-november" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Washington Examiner, 4/9/20</a></p>
<p>One of the reasons, which has been proven true over the years, is that some journalists will create fictitious sources and events to back up their preferred narrative. We&#8217;re not saying that happened here but suspicions are not unwarranted. When those creating product have clear condescension and contempt for their consumers, issuing misleading stories meant to damage the president before a president election is easy.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/223578-obamacare-architect-lack-of-transparency-helped-law-pass" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jonathan Gruber, &#8220;architect of Obamacare&#8221;</a></p>
<p>As the main mission of most in the professional media has been the destruction of the Trump presidency, any semblance of journalistic ethics were thrown out the window the moment Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As written many times here before, there was a time where only very seasoned professionals where promoted to the select group of White House press reporters. Unfortunately, some of those &#8220;seasoned&#8221; arrive with agendas and those no-so seasoned are intellectually ill-equipped to question the President of the United States or those he has speaking to the nation.</p>
<p>During the previous administration, you can maybe count on the fingers of one hand how many questions President Obama received that began with &#8220;I know you don&#8217;t want to talk about&#8230;.&#8221; Not only did Fox News&#8217; 37-year-old <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristin_Fisher" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kristin Fisher</a> start off with that question to President Trump, but it was preceded by ABC News&#8217; Jonathan Karl&#8217;s attempt at a gotcha asked while withholding pertinent information and it kinda&#8217; backfired.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qU7kkYqPGe4" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>It didn&#8217;t take the butthurt media to long to get in another behind-the-back dig during the process.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.hhs.gov/about/leadership/christi-grimm/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-12013 size-thumbnail" title="Christi A. Grimm, Principal Deputy Inspector General, HHS Office of the Secretary" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Grimm-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8193981/Donald-Trump-trashes-inspector-general-revealed-hundreds-hospitals-short-tests.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donald Trump trashes inspector general who revealed hundreds of hospitals are short of tests and getting masks from auto shops &#8211; then smears 21-year civil servant as an &#8216;Obama appointee&#8217; even though HE promoted her to her latest role</a></strong></p>
<p>Heaven forbid a 21-year civil servant lifer be criticized for not observing internal protocols so the president can be publicly embarrassed. If this isn&#8217;t about politics, how many &#8220;nonpartisan&#8221; inspector general reports were used to blindside President Obama on the federal government&#8217;s response to a crisis situation while it was happening?</p>
<p>Anyone&#8230; anyone&#8230;?</p>
<p>What should be the obvious is reporters shouldn&#8217;t enter a press briefing with an agenda or gotcha question unless they really have their shit together; especially when the target knows veiled salvos are always incoming. When reporters are careful of being busted with an agenda and their only response when challenged is &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221;, that&#8217;s a recipe for disaster <em>(or entertainment at their expense)</em>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Karl-on-The-View.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12004" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Karl-on-The-View-150x85.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="85" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Karl-on-The-View-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Karl-on-The-View-500x284.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Karl-on-The-View.jpg 749w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Well, it has happened with alarming consistency. At virtually every one of these briefings, there is a moment where he lashes out in very personal terms at a reporter.</span></p>
<p>The liberal media has been trying to have Donald Trump removed or worse from the day after the 2016 election. It doesn&#8217;t get any more &#8220;personal&#8221; than that, Jon.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">He’s done it to me now twice. He’s done it to several of my colleagues. I have to say — I hear that he is spending a good chunk of each day complaining to his top advisers about the way his response to this crisis is being portrayed in the news media. He truly cares about this and is, to a degree, obsessed about it. So, you know, he lashes out, like I said, virtually every day in one of these briefings. He can insult me all he wants. I don’t care What matters is getting to the bottom of what is happening with the federal response and how people should be responding to this crisis.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/he-can-insult-me-all-he-wants-jonathan-karl-addresses-frustrating-clash-with-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jonathan Karl, ABC News chief White House correspondent on The View, 4/7/20</a></p>
<p>Typical sanctimonious media response. Try to make someone look bad and when it backfires, play the victim. While President Trump may hurt the fragile feelings of reporters, President Obama <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/30/opinion/sunday/if-donald-trump-targets-journalists-thank-obama.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">took things to a level</a> the press is obviously relieved has not been passed down.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-karl-is-not-a-third-rate-reporter-foxs-bret-baier-defends-reporters-after-salty-trump-attacks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">‘Jon Karl is Not a Third-Rate Reporter’: Fox’s Bret Baier Defends Reporters After ‘Salty’ Trump Attacks</a></strong></p>
<p>Such thin skins. They relish an opportunity to destroy anyone in their news cycle but turn it back on the media and the lose their collective minds.</p>
<p>And they&#8217;re all bent because fewer trust the professional media every passing day.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The media would have us all believe they&#8217;re approaching the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump with fairness and takes their duty to inform the American people with impartiality.</p>
<p>However, thanks to the beauty <em>(and perils)</em> of live television, the public got that rare glimpse of a media that chose sides long ago and are presenting the formalities with premeditated bias.</p>

<p>The problem is fewer are devoting time to be misled&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The 20 percent dip in daytime viewership may be the best indicator that Trump’s impeachment won’t be must-see TV in its remaining week or so.</span><br />

<p>It&#8217;s like watching the Olympics on taped delay: who really wants to watch a sporting event where the final score is already known?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be real; few expect President Trump to get a fair shake from the liberal media but these professionals should at least try to contain their bias and attempt to portray some modicum of equal coverage.</p>
<p>At least for a few seconds if possible&#8230;.</p>

<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Parents-talk-son.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-129732 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Parents-talk-son-150x103.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Parents-talk-son-150x103.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Parents-talk-son.jpg 300w" alt="" width="150" height="103" /></a>We can only imagine the conversations that were had between parents and their young male sons who just left the nest for a college campus. How many responsible parents warned those sons to be VERY careful with any female student they would come in contact with, all the precautions that would need to be considered before having any contact with one that could possibly be a love interest, and the possible negative ramifications of such an interest that could follow them for the rest of their lives.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Suppose a woman wakes up in the morning after a sexual encounter and then labels it sexual assault, to the surprise of her sexual partner. Did this woman regret having sex and then say she was a victim so she doesn’t have to come to terms with her actions? Is she lying about being sexually assaulted so people don’t think she is a slut?</span><br />

<p><a title="#KavanaughConfirmation False Accusations: #WomenLie" href="https://youtu.be/DsCNZI5uWqs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-129620 size-medium" title="#KavanaughConfirmation False Accusations: #WomenLie" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DrPhil-woman-150x84.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DrPhil-woman-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DrPhil-woman-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DrPhil-woman-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DrPhil-woman.jpg 800w" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a>If you have to pose this as a defensive scenario, there’s an inconvenient element of truth that needed to be initially acknowledged.</p>
<p>But we’re told we must #BelieveWomen….</p>
<p>After the stigma placed on men with the implementation of Title IX on campus and more recently the #MeToo movement, how long before women <em>(again)</em> start whining because fewer men are giving them the time of day, let alone a date or assistance in a workplace. Men are now rightfully being very careful.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-25046 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/angry-liberal-150x200.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/angry-liberal-150x200.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/angry-liberal.jpg 225w" alt="" width="150" height="200" />Women, as portrayed by Democrats, their media and activists, are not looking very attractive and we don’t just mean physically. They’re coming off as unhinged and few men find that kind of potential drama as a positive draw. A lot of these women also appear to be on a revenge mission which leaves any man in contact with them in potential jeopardy, which also translates to the workplace or any space that men and women cohabitate.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Glass-offices.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-129726" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Glass-offices-150x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Glass-offices-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Glass-offices-768x513.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Glass-offices-500x334.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Glass-offices-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Glass-offices-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Glass-offices.jpg 800w" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a>Prior to #MeToo, cautious male supervisors would always leave an office door open when talking to a female, equal or subordinate. How many employers have had to absorb the expense of creating really cool offices with glass walls; not because of the attractive aesthetics but to protect themselves from potential accusations of what may or may not have been said or done behind an opaque wall or closed door?</p>
<p>As in most movements that are not well-thought through, there are serious ramifications for impulsive action. Sure, some of these women will find solace within the sisterhood, declare themselves bisexual so they can achieve immediate gratification, but for those who don’t swing that way, the isolation will grow and the frustration will again become a vocal rallying cry.</p>
<p>This time, it’s a different world.</p>

She and others also claimed to be speaking for all women. Today, #MeToo is all about payback and they claim to be speaking for all women. The problem this time is that some of these women have husbands, brothers, sons and others who are potential targets of those who have agendas and personal issues, mixed with that nasty lack of conscience. They’ll punish any man who rejects them, didn’t reward them as they saw fit, and in the case of a potential Supreme Court justice who could potentially hamper their ability to do what they want with their bodies <em>(and babies within)</em>.</p>
<p>Again, things involving the human condition tend to be cyclical. #MeToo women are using their movement to punish men who they claim abused them. They’ve also cast a wide net and have indicted all men as potential sexual abusers. Democrats are using the Kavanaugh confirmation as midterm election topic, many in the electorate are being justifiably repulsed, and fewer men will hold a door open for a woman, let alone vote for one and her offending political party.</p>

This time, there will be a response because of everything #MeToo.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;No, thanks.&#8221;</em></p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">UPDATE</span></h2>
<p>It took exactly two months.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">An infrastructure-investing manager says he won’t meet with a female employee in rooms that don’t have windows; in addition, he “keeps his distance in elevators.” Another man, in private equity, has a new, self-imposed rule that says he’s not allowed to have a business dinner with any women who are 35 or younger. (Apparently, after 35, there’s no risk of doing anything appropriate, as women turn into old hags.)</span></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Vanity Fair's Bess Levin" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bess-Levin.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-132006 size-thumbnail" title="Vanity Fair's Bess Levin" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bess-Levin-100x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bess-Levin-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bess-Levin-125x125.jpg 125w" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a>I think <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=133687418&amp;privcapId=98194270" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bess Levin</a> meant <em>“doing anything inappropriate”</em> but correcting a woman’s grammar is probably a bad thing.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The horror stories continue. An investment adviser who oversees roughly 100 employees said he started to reconsider having one-on-ones with junior females. Others are refusing to sit next to female colleagues on flights and booking hotel rooms on different floors during work trips. #MeToo, according to <strong>David Bahnsen,</strong> a former managing director at Morgan Stanley, is “creating a sense of walking on eggshells.” Men, employment attorney <strong>Stephen Zweig</strong> told Bloomberg, are concerned about “a false accusation,” and “fear what they cannot control.”</span></p>
<p>Remember how many times we were all told false accusations are “rare”?</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1isTooMany-thumb.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-131994" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1isTooMany-thumb.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1isTooMany-thumb.jpg 1363w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1isTooMany-thumb-150x54.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1isTooMany-thumb-768x275.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1isTooMany-thumb-500x179.jpg 500w" alt="" width="800" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>Well, it looks like men have been listening and are now responding accordingly.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Avoiding women at all costs doesn’t just make the men of Wall Street look like weird Mike Pences who apparently can’t control themselves in the presence of the devil sex. It also has a damaging effect on the careers of the women they’re shunning for fear of being accused of sexual harassment.</span><br />

<p>Happy now?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve presented multiple examples of media bias and their arrogance in defending their deceptive edits, bias-by-omission, and/or errors.

<p>Of course, it took someone who had reach for our reminders to be validated, along with sloppy reporting from some of our nation’s more important news outlets.</p>
<p>Then again, we’re really not talking about serious journalism but political advocacy and things get really dicey when you call the media on the basic rules regarding “sources”.</p>

<p>Calling out the media malpractice drew the expected response of faux exasperation and outrage because anyone dared not believe, thus respect them.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Glenn Greenwald" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Glenn-Greenwald.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-121626 size-medium" title="Glenn Greenwald" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Glenn-Greenwald-150x150.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Glenn-Greenwald-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Glenn-Greenwald-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Glenn-Greenwald-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Glenn-Greenwald.jpg 350w" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">U.S. media outlets are very good at demanding respect. They love to imply, if not outright state, that being patriotic and a good American means that one must reject efforts to discredit them and their reporting because that’s how one defends press freedom.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">But journalists also have the responsibility not just to demand respect and credibility but to earn it. That means that there shouldn’t be such a long list of abject humiliations, in which completely false stories are published to plaudits, traffic, and other rewards, only to fall apart upon minimal scrutiny. It certainly means that all of these “errors” shouldn’t be pointing in the same direction, pushing the same political outcome or journalistic conclusion.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://theintercept.com/2017/12/09/the-u-s-media-yesterday-suffered-its-most-humiliating-debacle-in-ages-now-refuses-all-transparency-over-what-happened/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Glenn Greenwald, The Intercept, 12/9/17</a></p>
<p>The media’s honesty and journalistic integrity can lead to inflaming the public and even negatively affecting the stock market and last week was one of the worst ever when it came to their errors and the real world ramifications.</p>
<p>Greenwald’s soul search has many examples but his conclusion is spot on, even more devastating is this is coming from a bonafide liberal.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNNdems-joke.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-116481 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNNdems-joke-150x94.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNNdems-joke-150x94.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNNdems-joke-768x483.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNNdems-joke-500x314.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNNdems-joke-400x250.jpg 400w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNNdems-joke.jpg 795w" alt="" width="150" height="94" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">Friday was one of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time. The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, and countless pundits, commentators, and operatives joining the party throughout the day. By the end of the day, it was clear that several of the nation’s largest and most influential news outlets had spread an explosive but completely false news story to millions of people, while refusing to provide any explanation of how it happened.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">One should expect with journalistic “mistakes” is that they sometimes go in one direction and other times go in the other direction. That’s exactly what has <em>not</em> happened here. Virtually every false story published goes only in one direction: to be as inflammatory and damaging as possible on the Trump-Russia story and about Russia particularly. At some point, once “mistakes” all start going in the same direction, toward advancing the same agenda, they cease looking like mistakes.</span></p>
<p>Anyone whose taken the time to consume something other than the major American news outlets understand the media took sides decades ago. But because of Rush Limbaugh and later the blogosphere, the media’s influence has dwindled while their blatant partisanship has ramped up to include <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/02/18/yes-todays-air-journalists-untrained-political-hacks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">liberal-trained poly-sci majors</a> planted to occupy so-called anchor seats.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/oDonnell-Trump.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-113040 size-medium" title="Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/oDonnell-Trump-150x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/oDonnell-Trump-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/oDonnell-Trump-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/oDonnell-Trump.jpg 430w" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">No matter your views on those political controversies, no matter how much you hate Trump or regard Russia as a grave villain and threat to our cherished democracy and freedoms, it has to be acknowledged that when the U.S. media is spewing constant false news about all of this, that, <em>too</em>, is a grave threat to our democracy and cherished freedom.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">So numerous are the false stories about Russia and Trump over the last year that I literally cannot list them all.</span></p>
<p>Yes, there ARE that many. Contrast that with the number of false news stories about their beloved Barack Obama.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Obama press conference" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Obama-on-ISIS.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-103968 size-medium" title="Obama press conference" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Obama-on-ISIS-150x85.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Obama-on-ISIS-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Obama-on-ISIS-500x282.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Obama-on-ISIS.jpg 600w" alt="" width="150" height="85" /></a><a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/media/331554-media-bemoans-trump-but-didnt-mind-obamas-years-of-stomping-press" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The press survived Obama’s persecution, and it will survive Trump’s mean words</a></strong><br />
<span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“Over the past eight years, the administration has prosecuted nine cases involving whistle-blowers and leakers, compared with only three by all previous administrations combined,”</strong> New York Times reporter James Risen wrote in a Dec. 30, 2016 column. <strong>“It has repeatedly used the Espionage Act, a relic of World War I-era red-baiting, not to prosecute spies but to go after government officials who talked to journalists.”</strong></span></p>
<p>With him, they were very careful because he DID threaten those who spoke to the media without his blessing, but back to Greenwald’s lecture.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Misleading reporting from Reuters" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Lyin-Media.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-115391 size-medium" title="Misleading reporting from Reuters" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Lyin-Media-150x150.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Lyin-Media-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Lyin-Media-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Lyin-Media-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Lyin-Media-500x500.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Lyin-Media-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Lyin-Media.jpg 1000w" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">But what it means most of all is that when media outlets are responsible for such grave and consequential errors as the spectacle we witnessed yesterday, they have to take responsibility for it by offering transparency and accountability. In this case, that can’t mean hiding behind P.R. and lawyer silence and waiting for this to just all blow away.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">At minimum, these networks — CNN, MSNBC, and CBS — have to either identify who purposely fed them this blatantly false information or explain how it’s possible that “multiple sources” all got the same information wrong in innocence and good faith. Until they do that, their cries and protests the next time they’re attacked as “Fake News” should fall on deaf ears, since the real author of those attacks — the reason those attacks resonate — is themselves and their own conduct.</span></p>
<p>“Anonymous sources” are precisely how the media gets to plant a premise into any story by stating someone said something that can be introduced into a narrative. You’re expected to believe that the source is credible because the media outlet said so while we have no idea if that person even exists at all.</p>
<p>Sharing partisan hopes versus reality since the 2016 presidential election persists to this day, and in most cases, intentionally aimed at those most susceptible due to lack of life experience and ignorance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While government officials and civilian volunteers are doing all they can under horrendous conditions to help the people of Puerto Rico, at least one person <em>(with the assistance of a complicit national media)</em> is making it all about her at the expense of those she’s supposed to be serving.</p>
<p>A police officer on the ground managed to call New York City’s La Mega 97.9 FM to express her emotional frustration of the San Juan mayor’s grandstanding while seemingly blowing off her duties; a sentiment echoed by others.</p>
<blockquote><p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S3TmoeNa16I" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p></blockquote>
<p>San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz <em>(“Popular Democratic Party”)</em> has made the media rounds from CNN, MSNBC, and even the Washington Post to publicly bash the relief efforts of FEMA. Her comments that other mayors are experiencing similar frustrations are not in sync with reality.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Guaynabo Mayor Angel Perez" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Angel-Perez-Guaynabo-Mayor.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-119488 size-medium" title="Guaynabo Mayor Angel Perez" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Angel-Perez-Guaynabo-Mayor-150x106.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Angel-Perez-Guaynabo-Mayor-150x106.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Angel-Perez-Guaynabo-Mayor-768x542.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Angel-Perez-Guaynabo-Mayor-500x353.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Angel-Perez-Guaynabo-Mayor.jpg 850w" alt="" width="150" height="106" /></a><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“I don’t know why she is saying that”</strong>, said Angel Perez, Guaynabo Mayor. <strong>“She is not participating in any meetings. We had a couple already with the governors and with representation of FEMA and of HUD, these whole federal agencies that have given us help. We are receiving assistance from FEMA. I got people over here helping us with applications for the people that have damage in their houses.”</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Mayor Perez echoed the sentiments of Richard Rossello, the governor of Puerto Rico, who praised President Trump for his rapid response to Puerto Rico’s aid requests.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/30/exclusive-fellow-puerto-rico-mayor-rips-san-juan-mayor-shes-not-participating-in-any-meetings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Daily Caller, 9/30/17</a></p>
<p>In other words, you don’t bite the hand that’s trying to feed you.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Crowley shipping containers with running refrigeration systems are lined up at in the port of San Juan, Puerto Rico. They've been there for days." href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Containers-in-San-Juan.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-119492 size-thumbnail" title="Crowley shipping containers with running refrigeration systems are lined up at in the port of San Juan, Puerto Rico. They've been there for days." src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Containers-in-San-Juan-100x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Containers-in-San-Juan-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Containers-in-San-Juan-125x125.jpg 125w" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a>There are reportedly <a href="http://video.foxnews.com/v/5592165627001/?#sp=show-clips" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hundreds of containers</a> full of much-needed supplies sitting idle at San Juan’s port and no truck drivers to distribute their contents where needed.</p>
<p>That’s hardly something that can be blamed on President Trump as the federal government can’t be held responsible for a local disaster plan in absentia.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Flooded school buses after Hurricane Katrina" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/nolaschoolbuses.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-8956 size-thumbnail alignleft" title="Flooded school buses after Hurricane Katrina" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/nolaschoolbuses-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a>A sight eerily similar to that flooded parking lot filled with school buses in New Orleans that sat idle instead of being used to evacuate the hundreds that had to sit out Hurricane Katrina.</p>
<p>One would hope that federal, state, and local entities would have plans prepared for that rare Act of God. It would also be reasonable to assume that amidst the chaos of a disaster aftermath, petty political differences would be sidelined and all hands would work together for the good of all affected. Sadly, as recently as Hurricane Katrina, some in power <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2007/08/31/katrina-democracy-nows-annual-blaxploitation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">exercise poor judgment</a> in planning-for and reacting-to tragedy.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Here we see the Mayor of San Juan bravely delivering truckloads of reporters to hurricane victims" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Carmen-Cruz-and-media.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-119496 size-medium" title="Here we see the Mayor of San Juan bravely delivering truckloads of reporters to hurricane victims" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Carmen-Cruz-and-media-150x84.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Carmen-Cruz-and-media-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Carmen-Cruz-and-media-768x429.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Carmen-Cruz-and-media-500x279.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Carmen-Cruz-and-media.jpg 1000w" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a>That, again, appears to be too much to ask of Democrats and a media all too willing to score political points at the expense of the misery of thousands of whom they consistently look down upon as “ordinary people”. San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz has shown she lacks the humility to manage her city as arrogance is not a leadership quality desired when her people need her most; people who will have power soon enough and will see how she conducted herself while they were in the dark.</p>

<p>That is, if #Antifa will let them.</p>
<p>What’s really sad is that for all the damage and injuries they’ve caused nationwide, it’s only worth $15 an hour.</p>
