										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always laughed at the Republican Party&#8217;s failed attempts at &#8220;outreach&#8221;. It&#8217;s pandering at the least and condescension at its core. In my personal experience and from what I&#8217;ve observed, it usually takes a life-altering event to make one take the very uncomfortable leap from liberal to conservative, especially knowing the very unpleasant personal and financial ramifications that come with the action.</p>
<p>The blowback from family members, close friends, and employers are usually devastating, given the words &#8220;liberal&#8221; and &#8220;tolerance&#8221; are like oil and water. Following through takes bravery most can&#8217;t understand and/or are not willing to risk, which makes it infinately more admirable, especially when sincere.</p>
<p>On November 29, 2022, Tucker Carlson alerted us to the story of Winston Marshall who decided to jump into the light, paid for it with the loss of his chosen career in the &#8220;Mumford &amp; Sons&#8221; band he co-founded, and was invited to share his perspectives last month in the halls of the University of Oxford to debate that current topic of great concern: democracy.</p>
<p>On April 25th, Marshall was invited to debate a motion that &#8220;This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy&#8221;.</p>
<p><iframe class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v4s83nx/?pub=6btuj" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span></iframe><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8230;</span><br />
Also invited was Democrat Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. As her remarks, based on the premise that &#8220;populism is a threat to democracy due to voters being manipulated&#8221; are familiar on this side of the pond, you can view her presentation <a href="https://youtu.be/VW8SnMRhExA?si=vA72fn61Rpl9ZcG5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>
<p>Like most liberal Democrats, she did break courtesy norms and interrupted Marshall when he made logical points, simply because he struck uncomfortable nerves Pelosi just couldn&#8217;t let go countered. For that reason, the legacy media didn&#8217;t let the American people know of this event and witness her humiliation in real time.</p>
<p>Logic is easier to censor than spin.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been a constant as far back as most of us can remember that Democrats have been playing fast and loose with their variation of the sociopathic mental disorder known as <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/projection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">projection</a>: disparaging others for doing what they knowingly do themselves.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s Democrat Party and their media depend on the cultivated ignorance of their voters to portray Republicans as extremists for daring to look into numerous, blatant irregularities in the 2020 election while demanding the American people accept Democrat victories as legit and final simply because they say so. No denial is tolerated when the Democrat wins.</p>

<p>Liberals may be numerically-challenged when convenient.</p>
<p>Republicans can count and that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re afraid of.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At a time when the American economy is unraveling and thousands are dying, President Trump is doing his best to keep the public calm and focused on recovery. Meanwhile, others are actually soliciting off partisan division and the lament that Democrats are not getting the political traction desired given the closing in on a presidential election their own candidates are blowing.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example of the latest email plea for anti-Trump dollars by MoveOn.org&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MoveOn-coronavirus-dollars.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-11911 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MoveOn-coronavirus-dollars-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MoveOn-coronavirus-dollars-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MoveOn-coronavirus-dollars-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MoveOn-coronavirus-dollars-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MoveOn-coronavirus-dollars.jpg 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Dear MoveOn member,</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Last week, in the middle of Donald Trump&#8217;s mind-bogglingly incompetent handling of the coronavirus pandemic, <strong>his approval rating hit 48%—his highest ever.<sup>1</sup></strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">This wasn&#8217;t some bogus fly-by-night poll. It was the Washington Post-ABC News poll, one of only six polls rated A+ in the country, according to data expert Nate Silver.<sup>2</sup> And it&#8217;s part of a trend: Trump&#8217;s polling averages have been shooting up across the board for weeks.<sup>3</sup></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>It&#8217;s infuriating but true: The coronavirus crisis is helping Trump politically.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Voters are rallying to their leader, while Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have almost completely disappeared from the news. But there&#8217;s another problem: Voters don&#8217;t know how badly Trump has botched the response to this crisis. They don&#8217;t realize that his mistakes are the reason we have the most COVID-19 cases in the world.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>We need to face facts: If things keep going this way, Trump is going to get re-elected.</strong> So we&#8217;ve decided to take emergency action.

<p>Instead of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-campaign-donates-meals-coronavirus" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">donating to those today</a> who are on the real COVID-19 front line, for MoveOn it&#8217;s all about cashing in off Trump hate. Those who are running MoveOn aren&#8217;t making the big bucks, but they&#8217;re relatively comfortable, don&#8217;t have to put in a full 40-hour week, and even have side gigs on top of their nonprofit salaries.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">After six years leading MoveOn Civic Action and MoveOn Political Action respectively, executive directors Anna Galland and Ilya Sheyman today announced that they will step down in 2019 after MoveOn completes a search for new leadership.</span><br />

<p>Like most <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/05/17/southern-poverty-law-centers-well-paid-near-lily-white-leadership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">prominent &#8220;progressive&#8221; nonprofits</a> that protest anything they deem exclusionary or racist, MoveOn finally hired a &#8220;woman of color&#8221; to take over in 2019 who probably doesn&#8217;t earn what her predecessors did <em>(which could be why MoveOn&#8217;s 2019 Form 990 hasn&#8217;t been released for public inspection)</em>.</p>

<p>So, the plea for dollars is on!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The corporate media has proven time after time that it&#8217;s totally incapable of holding Trump accountable. If our side doesn&#8217;t aggressively prosecute the case, Trump will get re-elected. And worse yet, the pandemic response won&#8217;t improve, and hundreds of thousands of people could die.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When an accused conservative commits an act deemed violent, all attention is turned on Republicans and President Donald Trump and demands are issued to publicly repudiate those involved as many times as the left dictates is necessary. However, when progressive activists are inspired and/or encouraged to commit acts of violence, there is either silence from our news media as if the incident never happened or justifications and excuses are offered.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hillary.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-425 size-medium" title="2016 Hillary Clinton reminds supporters that Americans respect the results of elections" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hillary-150x85.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="85" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hillary-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hillary-500x282.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hillary.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Had Hillary Clinton won the 2016 presidential election, it would be demanded that Republicans respect the will of the people and they would as they always have. There would be no <a href="https://indivisible.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Indivisible</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Resist&amp;src=typed_query" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">#Resist</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Resistance&amp;src=typeahead_click" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">#Resistance</a> movement. But because she lost and Democrats decided they wouldn&#8217;t respect the agreed-to process of Electoral College results and not a goal post-moving popular vote, the left has given themselves license to act out in any fashion current events dictate.</p>
<p>Their violence is clearly on the uptick and it&#8217;s only a matter of time where their violence is no longer just reactionary but on the offense.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ICE-office.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5970" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ICE-office-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ICE-office-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ICE-office-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ICE-office.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Shots fired at ICE Administrative Offices in San Antonio, Tex. are setting off alarm bells for what officials say has become a dangerous trend.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“To fire indiscriminately into any building- let alone a federal building, let alone a federal facility- is not an act of protest. It is an act of violence,”</strong> said Christopher Combs, FBI Special Agent in charge of San Antonio&#8217;s Division.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">This targeted attack on ICE is one of four in the last month or so, the others occurring in Tacoma, Washington, Aurora Colorado and Washington, D.C. <strong>“We cannot allow political discourse to lead us to the point of violence where federal employees innocent people doing their jobs are put into harm’s way”</strong>, Combs said.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">This follows a string of rallies, including on the streets of New York, the blocking of buildings and roads in Washington D.C. and the removal of an American flag at an ICE facility in Aurora, Colorado later replaced it with a Mexican flag and defaced &#8220;Blue Lives Matter&#8217; one.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://ktvl.com/news/nation-world/disturbing-trend-of-ice-facilities-under-attack" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">KTVL CBS10</a></p>
<p>Republicans and conservatives <a href="https://youtu.be/iXbeq6Rt6Z0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">traditionally do not take to the streets</a>, disrupting traffic and committing acts of vandalism as a pattern of &#8220;peaceful protest&#8221;. Republicans and conservatives don&#8217;t trash areas where they&#8217;ve actually take the time to obtain permits for their rallies. Liberals routinely do all of the above and they&#8217;ve taken it to the next level.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ICE-building-shooting.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5971 size-medium" title="FBI agents are are searching for a suspect in connection with shots fired at two ICE buildings.

The shooting first reported took place around 3 a.m. Tuesday on the 1700 block of NE Loop 410 near Brookhaven Drive. We&#8217;re told another shooting happened at a separate ICE facility around the same time. Investigators say that multiple shots were fired on two floors targeting ICE officials. No one was hit, but windows were broken in the building. One person was injured, it&#8217;s not clear how they were, though.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s a question that they knew which floors the ice offices were,&#8221;</strong> FBI Special Agent in Charge Chris Combs said Tuesday. The building shot at has multiple tenants, with the ICE facility located on upper floors. <strong>&#8220;All of the shots that we have found are on the floors where ICE had offices,&#8221;</strong> Combs explained. <strong>&#8220;This is no question a very targeted attack. It&#8217;s not a secret facility, you can go online, it&#8217;s out there. So they did some research, they knew what floors ICE was on, they knew what buildings they were and and they hit those.&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">ICE ERO San Antonio Field Office Director Daniel Bible says the national discourse surrounding ICE and the topic of immigration is reckless, blaming today&#8217;s shooting on politicians, media and activists.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“This attack at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Field Office in San Antonio is completely without justification,”</strong> said Bible. <strong>“Political rhetoric and misinformation that various politicians, media outlets and activist groups recklessly disseminate to the American people regarding the ICE mission only serve to further encourage these violent acts. ICE officers put their lives on the line each and every day to keep our communities safe. This disturbing public discourse shrouds our critical law enforcement function and unnecessarily puts our officers’ safety at risk.&#8221;</strong></span><br />

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">This was at least the fourth act of aggression directed at ICE offices since early July. Protesters outside a facility in Aurora, Colorado pulled down an American flag and raised a Mexican one in its place on July 12. Two days later, <strong>a self-described anti-fascist apparently tried to set an ICE facility on fire in Tacoma, Washington. On July 16, nearly a dozen protesters were arrested for unlawfully entering ICE offices in Washington, D.C.</strong></span></p>

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is encouraging violence on the left.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Ocasio-Cortez is one of many Democrats who have lashed out at ICE in recent months over the treatment of migrant families detained at the southern border and undocumented immigrants swept up in raids inside the country. She and others have called for the agency to be abolished</span><span style="color: #808080;">.</span><br />

<p>Of course, when those who intentionally block the freedom of movement of others find themselves in the peril, the media chooses sides and affords them victim status.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The protesters were sitting on the pavement to block staff from parking at a Rhode Island prison that works with Immigration and Customs Enforcement when a black pickup truck swerved toward them. The protesters shouted as the driver laid on the horn, and the truck briefly stopped. And then, the driver hit the gas.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In a viral video captured by bystanders, the protesters screamed and jumped out of the way. Several were struck, according to organizers of the Wednesday night demonstration at the Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, R.I. Some were treated at a hospital, though none were severely injured.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“It was terrifying because we didn’t know what exactly his intention was,” Amy Anthony, a spokesman for Never Again Action, a Jewish activist group that planned the protest, told The Washington Post. “It certainly appeared he was trying to hit us.”</span><br />

<p>As Bill Maher <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Maher.mp4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">basically told the nation</a>, the United States may not be so &#8220;divided&#8221;. In other words, we&#8217;ll be unified and there will be peace on the streets ONLY if Democrats are allowed to win the next presidential election and have unfettered control over policy, thus our lives.</p>
<p>With all the allusions to a coming &#8220;civil war&#8221;, it may ultimately come down to this&#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>&#8220;Peace only results after victory.&#8221;</strong></span><br />

If there was ever an argument for declaring anyone a domestic terror threat, the left has long since made their case.</p>
<p>For all appearances at this moment, it looks like they won&#8217;t get their way in 2020 and their lashing out and punishing those who won&#8217;t give them their way has really yet to begin.</p>

<p>&#8220;The Naked Communist&#8221; was written in 1963 and 56 years later, &#8220;socialism&#8221; is now a trending topic up for that long overdue &#8220;conversation&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/The-Naked-Communist.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3985 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/The-Naked-Communist-98x150.jpg" alt="" width="98" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/The-Naked-Communist-98x150.jpg 98w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/The-Naked-Communist-500x765.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/The-Naked-Communist.jpg 736w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 98px) 100vw, 98px" /></a>The following interpretations of Skousen&#8217;s comments are my own.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.</strong></span></h3>
<p>In other words, allow any nation who pursues atomic weapons the right to have them, good or bad actors notwithstanding.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.</span></strong></h3>
<p>Succumb to the demands of any rogue nations in possession of nuclear weapons, which obviously puts everyone at risk for blackmail.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Develop the illusion that total disarmament </span></strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">[by]</span><strong><span style="color: #ff9900;"> the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.</span></strong></h3>
<p>How many times have we heard people calling for the total elimination of all nuclear weaponry and the United States must be the ones to <a href="https://prospect.org/article/obama-doctrine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">set the example</a>. Given the questionable trustworthiness of many of the world&#8217;s tyrants, this would be like walking into a gunfight with not even a dull knife.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.</span></strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jay-Z-and-Beyoncé-in-Cuba.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3988 size-medium" title="Jay Z and Beyoncé in Cuba" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jay-Z-and-Beyoncé-in-Cuba-111x150.jpg" alt="" width="111" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jay-Z-and-Beyoncé-in-Cuba-111x150.jpg 111w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jay-Z-and-Beyoncé-in-Cuba-500x678.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jay-Z-and-Beyoncé-in-Cuba.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 111px) 100vw, 111px" /></a>The purpose of economic sanctions is to deny a potentially aggressive nation the ability to divert the proceeds of trade to arms or, as we see a lot today, acts of terrorism around the world. When the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/15/world/americas/obama-cuba-trade-embargo.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Obama administration lifted the trade embargo on Cuban goods</a> in 2016, it may have given his elitist friends and campaign supporters another place to play, but it <em>(as expected)</em> was of scant benefit to the Cuban people and their government&#8217;s aggressive posture to this day was only enhanced by the influx of income.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.</strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.</strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.<br />
</strong></span></h3>
<p>Note the consistent theme of sending our tax dollars to socialist/communist nations that, by their flawed economic model, can&#8217;t fiscally survive. Also note the hypocrisy in allowing communists unfettered freedom of movement within our country despite the fact most people attempt to flee repressive communist nations on a daily basis.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. </strong>(Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)</span></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IPCC.jpeg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3995 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IPCC-150x100.jpeg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IPCC-150x100.jpeg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IPCC-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IPCC-500x333.jpeg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IPCC-360x240.jpeg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IPCC-600x400.jpeg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IPCC.jpeg 780w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Look at how much power the United Nations has been given over the years to influence our domestic policy. For example, we&#8217;re constantly being told we must adhere to the dictates of the UN&#8217;s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. No American citizen has voted for anyone on that &#8220;panel&#8221;, but their debatable conclusions are cited by our policy makers on down to our classrooms as fact, even though implementation of their whitepapers would harm the American economy with no guarantees of effectiveness to &#8220;heal the planet&#8221;.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Do away with all loyalty oaths.</strong></span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of &#8220;separation of church and state.&#8221;</span></h3>
<p>There are many local governments in the United States where that offensive Pledge of Allegiance is not said prior to their hearings. This is not only due to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/27/us/judges-ban-pledge-of-allegiance-from-schools-citing-under-god.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">conscience of a few</a> but eventually the result of a <a href="http://old.post-gazette.com/nation/20030301pledgenat2p2.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2003 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling</a>, reversed by <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2004/07/pldg-j01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Supreme Court on 2004</a>, that attempted to ban the Pledge in schools all based on that &#8220;separation of church and state&#8221; phrase which appears nowhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights.</p>
<p>Prayer, even after sporting events, is frowned up if not totally gone in schools out of pressure from the triggered.</p>
<p>Then again, there are times when Democrats disregard any &#8220;separation of church and state&#8221; when they are the direct political beneficiaries.</p>

<p>Never think you can hold a liberal to any level of intellectual or political consistency.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.</strong></span></h3>
<p>Given all we know about certain nations and their propensity for intellectual property theft, so what could go wrong?</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.</strong></span></h3>

<p>Within the Democrat Party, this internal battle will eventually come down to the old guard who&#8217;ll lie to the American people about what they really want <em>(so they can win elections and stay in privileged politburo-style power)</em> against those who come right out and actively promote their socialist goals.</p>
<p>Remember, the only real difference between socialism and communism is the ability to use brute force to attain submission of the people. We&#8217;re not there yet, but when the Department of Education can <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/unpaid-student-loan-raid-claim-refuted-as-feds-target-california-couple-in-fraud-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sic a SWAT team</a> on you&#8230;?</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture &#8212; education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.</span></h3>
<p>They may not officially be socialists yet, but who runs all of these institutions now?</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.</span></strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Gay-marriage.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3992 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Gay-marriage-150x117.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="117" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Gay-marriage-150x117.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Gay-marriage-768x599.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Gay-marriage-500x390.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Gay-marriage.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>The long-recognized institution of marriage <em>(one man, one woman)</em> was strategically weakened when gay activists declared gay marriage a &#8220;civil right&#8221;, likening their experience to the acknowledged movement by blacks who were <em>(unlike gays)</em> enslaved and persecuted for centuries in the United States at the hands of <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2009/01/14/democrat-race-lie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">violent, obstructionist Democrats</a> and their supporters.</p>
<p>Because one Supreme Court judge decided that Obamacare could kinda&#8217; be considered a &#8220;tax&#8221;, it was <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/01/13/inconvenient-truths-affordable-care-act/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">imposed on the nation</a> and the people ended up paying significantly more for plans that also included unaffordable deductibles, all why those lawmakers and their staffs essentially exempted themselves by including smarmy legalese where <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Capitol-Hill-HC-031217.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">their health care costs would be greatly subsidized</a> by us sucka&#8217; taxpayers.</p>

<p>As many of you know, the Census is not just some trivial random headcount so we have a population number to toss around. It&#8217;s also a numerical basis for the issuing of congressional representation. Obviously the more people in an area, the more congressmen you have and if you could add the number of illegal aliens to an area that Democrats would exploit, counting them in a census would be an imperative. If you don&#8217;t believe me, here&#8217;s some honesty buried down in the L.A. Times piece.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It appears New Zealand mosque shooter, Brenton Tarrant, was an avid consumer of American media and Democrat politics as <em>(while going all over the place in his &#8220;manifesto&#8221;)</em> he accurately predicted the ways our media and politicians would react to his violence.</p>

<p>The media was pretty much in lockstep here, so any selective information about what Tarrant wrote would have to come through them. See a problem looming? We&#8217;ve learned long ago that when the media says NOT to do something, there&#8217;s often a partisan, political agenda.</p>
<p>So, we did and it was almost immediately obvious why they didn&#8217;t want it out there without their biased filter.</p>
<p>Tarrant first played on the correctly-anticipated Democrat political response to the use of a gun, which would initiate a call for another &#8220;discussion&#8221; on the need to eliminate the 2nd Amendment, coupled with the quilt-by-association <em>(once again)</em> of the National Rifle Association.</p>

<p>Tarrant knew a partisan media would blame his attack on President Donald Trump and he was right.</p>

<p>The media knew most people would either not know where to find or not bother to read the manifesto, so you&#8217;d just have to take their word for it. The news disseminators committed <em>(yet again)</em> another example of bias-by-omission because when you read ALL of what Tarrant wrote, it&#8217;s clear he&#8217;s NOT a devotee of Donald Trump.</p>

<p>Owens responded with an &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/RealCandaceO/status/1106391443457888257" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LOL</a>&#8221; in a Tweet.</p>
<p>Not as savvy as advertised&#8230;.</p>
<p>Tarrant&#8217;s endorsement of Candace Owens is a curious one, but he&#8217;s just ANOTHER sucked into the fraud she is. Owens is a very-recent conservative convert of convenience, was initially hired by Turning Point USA&#8217;s Charlie Kirk as a black face to cover for his organization&#8217;s blatant racism, and her social media musings are hardly original.</p>

<p>Brenton Tarrant knew our Democrats and their media well, however the left is colorblind when it comes to the desired confiscation of firearms for self-protection and look at the results, i.e. Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, etc.</p>
<p>The media also portrays him as a &#8220;right wing extremist&#8221;.</p>

<p>Hmm&#8230; only saw the &#8220;right wing&#8221; in the headlines. Bias-by-omission is something the media is really, really good at, especially when they they attempt to control who can see what with their own eyes.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-663 size-large" title="Page 25" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/25-1-500x200.png" alt="" width="500" height="200" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/25-1-500x200.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/25-1-150x60.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/25-1.png 616w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-622 size-medium" title="Bernie Sanders and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez-150x79.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="79" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez-150x79.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez-500x262.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>In fact, this sounds more like the far-left recitations of Bernie &#8220;one puh-sunt&#8221; Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez than anything President Trump or any conservative has ever said. Maybe that&#8217;s why none of the media has included this quote from Tarrant&#8217;s manifesto.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-664 size-large" title="Page 15" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/15-500x51.png" alt="" width="500" height="51" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/15-500x51.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/15-150x15.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/15.png 564w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>Oh, and another thing our media hasn&#8217;t told the American people: Tarrant is an environmentalist not too happy about the lack of real progress from the &#8220;movement&#8221;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-665 size-large" title="Page 38" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/38-1-500x603.png" alt="" width="500" height="603" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/38-1-500x603.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/38-1-124x150.png 124w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/38-1.png 637w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>We assume our media will get around to this shortly, you know, to competently inform the public.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-666" title="Page 47" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/47-1-500x428.png" alt="" width="500" height="428" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/47-1-500x428.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/47-1-150x129.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/47-1.png 643w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p>
<p>Tarrant knows our liberal left well and one could speculate that he has <em>Rules for Radicals</em> somewhere on his reading list.</p>
<p>Saul Alinsky wrote, <strong>&#8220;Never go outside the experience of your people.&#8221;</strong> In other words, assume your followers are uninformed, use emotion over facts because they rightly assume the Democrat base will act out without any critical thinking and/or desire for additional details. Works every time.</p>
<p>So, no.</p>

<p>Mission accomplished.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s called <a href="https://www.studentnewsdaily.com/types-of-media-bias/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bias-by-omission</a> for a reason and the left is really good at it. For too many, if they didn’t see or hear about it on their favorite news source <em>(New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Democracy Now!, CNN, MSNBC, etc.)</em>, it didn’t happen, so it’s understandable common sense can be challenged.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Trump-both-sides.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-131668 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Trump-both-sides-150x85.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Trump-both-sides-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Trump-both-sides-500x282.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Trump-both-sides.jpg 762w" alt="" width="150" height="85" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">Over the past decade, attackers motivated by right-wing political ideologies have committed dozens of shootings, bombings and other acts of violence, far more than any other category of domestic extremist, according to a Washington Post analysis of data on global terrorism. While the data show a decades-long drop-off in violence by left-wing groups, violence by white supremacists and other far-right attackers has been on the rise since Barack Obama’s presidency — and has surged since President Trump took office.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/in-the-united-states-right-wing-violence-is-on-the-rise/ar-BBQ5VQa?ocid=ientp">Washington Post, 11/25/18</a></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Washington Post graphic" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/LeftWingViolence.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-131676 size-medium" title="Washington Post graphic" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/LeftWingViolence-150x91.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/LeftWingViolence-150x91.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/LeftWingViolence-768x467.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/LeftWingViolence-500x304.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/LeftWingViolence.jpg 805w" alt="" width="150" height="91" /></a>A “a decades-long drop-off in violence by left-wing groups”… really?</p>
<p>Maybe this is where the left can play word games to further their intentional deception by using the operative word “groups”, implying organized violence as opposed to a lone Bernie supporter who tried to kill federal lawmakers and their staffs.</p>
<p>BTW — That insignificant incident was afforded two sentences in paragraph 22.</p>

One of the most prominent was last year’s attack on Republican members of a congressional baseball team, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (La.). The gunman, James Hodgkinson, had raged against Trump online and was a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).</span></p>
<p>There were a few more <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/police-officer-deaths-on-duty-have-jumped-nearly-20-percent-in-2017" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“assassinations” of police officers and sheriffs</a> all over the country following President Obama’s anti-law enforcement rhetoric after the deaths of young black men; too many of whom would be alive today had they been home at a decent hour and not out committing crime. Yes, that’s judgmental and also a reason why millions of black men over the age of 50 are still alive today.</p>
<p>While the Washington Post will have too many believing that political violence is all the rage on the right, even some liberal news outlets had to allow a more accurate depiction be printed.</p>

You could simply visit America’s elite college campuses like Yale or Middlebury or Berkeley, where tomorrow’s leaders attempt to shut down conservative voices with protest or riots. At Middlebury, rioting students landed liberal professor Allison Stanger in a neck brace for the crime of defending a conservative academic’s right to speak. At Berkeley, mobs of students created a “war zone” ahead of a planned visit from conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, injuring Trump supporters and causing $100,000 in damages.</span></p>

A “counter-protest” to a planned pro-Trump rally landed 14 antifa in jail for attacking the police with explosives and bricks.</span></p>

Steve Scalise, R-La., and other Republicans batting up for their annual bipartisan game. James Hodgkinson, a “fervent supporter of progressive politics,” showed up to the field with a rifle, a handgun and a hit list of Republicans. As Scalise fought for his life, MSNBC host Joy Reid felt conflicted: The attempted assassination was a “delicate thing” because of Scalise’s conservative views like opposition to gay marriage. “Are we required in a moral sense to put that aside in the moment?” she wondered. Yes, Joy, you are. The shooting of a mainstream, congressional Republican leader is reprehensible, and in no way justifiable.</span><br />

There are, but way too many times they are the small in number and rather insignificant.</p>
<p>But it’s also helpful to accept a pattern.</p>
<p>These small and insignificant “right wing” groups <em>(that many Republicans and conservatives have never heard of, until…)</em> plan a protest. The left hears about it, mobilizes hundreds to counterprotest via social media, the alleged right wing group mobilizes hundreds in response and we have a Charlottesville where people are injured, killed… and it’s blamed on the right. Had the tree fallen with no liberal to hear it, think of all the dollars saved and lives spared.</p>

A massive law enforcement presence is mobilized. You see people in blue safety vests with large white “ACLU” letters reminding those with ill intent whom to see once they get arrested. Large areas are reserved for the detention of agitators.</p>
<p>While the right protests for free speech, the left uses words that imply a pending outcome of violence. They defy common rules of decency with displays of vulgarity to inflame “both sides”.</p>

<blockquote><p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qWwtz1VgE1Y" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p></blockquote>
<p>Probably because their masks and clothing are black. It couldn’t be anything else, right?</p>
<p>The left is triggered into conniptions when anyone dares compare the violence on the right and left. President Trump was vilified for a few news cycles after the death of a Charlottesville protester when he condemned “both sides” while anyone with an Internet connection can find far more examples of massive protests in metropolitan areas, the intentional disruption of uninvolved commuters, and the millions of taxpayer dollars it always takes during and after left wing demonstration that almost always take that violent “mostly peaceful” turn.</p>
<p>It’s past the point when the media tells us to look one way, it’s best to look the other.</p>
<p>And let’s not forget how the left and their media poo-poo the numerous <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2013/12/07/hate-hoaxes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hate hoaxes</a> meant to fraudulently blame the right for continuing liberal dementia.</p>
<p>But it’s also best to remember what liberal leadership thinks of their own and we see why the Washington Post’s bullshit has a stink that will stick long before it’s stepped in.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many times have we had a speculation storm after a mass killer’s name is released, his or her social media accounts are quickly removed leaving the general public at the mercy of the reckless speculation <em>(and/or agendas) </em>of the media?</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-116433" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot-500x281.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot.jpg 1280w" alt="" width="427" height="240" /></a><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="From the Republican baseball shoother's FB page" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hodgkinson-FB-profile-pic.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-116351" title="From the Republican baseball shoother's FB page" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hodgkinson-FB-profile-pic-500x387.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hodgkinson-FB-profile-pic.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hodgkinson-FB-profile-pic-150x116.jpg 150w" alt="" width="310" height="240" /></a><br />
Obviously a person in custody for such criminality would incur the wrath of the social media anonymous-brave, so it would be proper and understandable if comments were disabled and the “friends” of that person were made invisible, but the public would still be able to go back and piece together possible motivation without the faux-intellectual speculations of the media; at times in gross error to the detriment of the innocent.</p>

Obviously, lawyers would be screaming about the privacy of the accused and who knows, maybe there would be enough within that person’s profile to clarify a true motive.</p>

<p>Is the public’s right to know more important than the perils of media speculation, seeing how they’ve been known to sit on important details that offend their politically correct tendencies?</p>

<p>Let’s not blow off how many of these celebrities have made millions of dollars in productions where they’re depicted shooting off dozens of rounds from cool-looking, exotic weaponry and killing the many people who had it coming.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">2014:</span> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/jan/20/harvey-weinstein-films-gun-violence-the-senator-s-wife" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Harvey Weinstein (Miramax) vows to stop making films that glorify gun violence</a></strong></p>
<p>That lasted about a week and while celebrities will take time from their important schedules to lecture us about the scourge of gun violence in America, the Hollywood body count grows in proportion to their bottom lines.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">From Sept. 22-28, <strong>the four top live-action movies</strong> — <em>Kingsman: The Golden Circle, American Assassin, It</em> and <em>mother! </em>— <strong>contained 212 incidents of gun violence, 108 of them involving automatic weapons </strong>similar to the ones used by Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">—</span> <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/las-vegas-shooting-hollywood-criticized-gun-violence-top-films-1047285" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Hollywood Reporter, 10/10/17</a></p>
<p>And they sure make gun violence look pretty.</p>

<p>Of course, those who create and are <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/22/the-worlds-highest-paid-actors-and-actresses.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">paid handsomely</a> to participate in <a href="http://www.moviebodycounts.com/Top-Movies.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hollywood body counts</a> are the first to absolve themselves of any responsibility for any actions their television shows, movies and/or video games may inspire.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Waldman.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5682 size-medium" title="Paul Waldman" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Waldman-150x90.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="90" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Waldman-150x90.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Waldman-768x462.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Waldman-500x301.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Waldman.jpg 852w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">It&#8217;s absurd for a movie director or game designer to say, &#8220;This is just entertainment; it doesn&#8217;t mean anything.&#8221; And just as television and movies can affect how we think about love or work or death or beauty, they might be able to change how we think about violence, which is why those who produce our culture should be as thoughtful as possible about <em>all</em> the messages they send.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://prospect.org/article/media-violence-versus-real-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Paul Waldman, Washington Post opinion writer</a></p>
<p>Any media outlet that recites there&#8217;s no evidence to back up the assertion that violent sensory overload of onscreen violence doesn&#8217;t desensitize thus may inspire consumers to carry it out, is probably owned by a corporation that produces and distributes them. Any admission of responsibility could open them up for numerous, massive lawsuits <em>(which is why no entertainment company will EVER make such a declaration)</em>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5681 size-thumbnail" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/AAP-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/AAP-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/AAP-400x400.jpg 400w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/AAP-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /><span style="color: #333399;">The news and information media should acknowledge <strong>the proven scientific connection between virtual violence and real-world aggression</strong> and the current consensus of credentialed experts in this field and should avoid equating unscientific opinions and industry marketing tracts with peer-reviewed and vetted scientific research.</span></span><br />

<p>Gun control is never a political talking point in need of another national discussion when the body count gets into the dozens in black neighborhoods over a weekend in a gun-controlled Democrat district, or even when a Republican congressman is shot during a baseball practice by a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/14/homepage2/james-hodgkinson-profile/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bernie Sanders supporter</a>.</p>
<p>What’s most hypocritical is that those using Las Vegas as a rallying cry for gun control are some of the most protected people in the country; celebrities who consider themselves more important than “ordinary people” and are most probably shielded by someone with… wait for it… a gun.</p>

<span style="color: #333399;">More than 500 officers will be on hand, many of them working overtime, to ensure the safety of the 90th Academy Awards, along with firefighters, police helicopters and agents from the FBI. Private security guards from Security Industry Specialists will work the inside of the theater.</span></p>
<p>The city of L.A. bills the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for security, street closures, and other expenses related to the event. This year, the cost is $340,000, up from $300,000 for the last several years.</p>
<p>We’re patiently waiting for the first noble celebrity to announce he or she has disarmed a bodyguard to show they are going to abide by what they’re calling for the rest of us to live with… at taxpayer expense.</p>

Whether it be the president not immediately denouncing a few dozen Nazis meeting in a small town in Virginia or a bunch of college girls reciting rap lyrics in New Hampshire, in a very short amount of time we’ll all know what happened.</p>
<p>But if it’s a Democrat politician who goes off on a racist rant, who just happens to be a Bernie Sanders-supporting millennial minority himself, you’ll only hear enough so the media can <em>say</em> it was covered.</p>

De León is also heard speaking derogatorily about his fellow city commissioners in the audio segments shared on Facebook this week.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“I want to begin by apologizing,” De León told The Brownsville Herald on Wednesday. “I want to apologize to the citizens of Brownsville or whoever had to listen to those tapes because there is a lot of profane language and that was a private conversation. <strong>It was never meant to be public</strong>, but it’s very important that people understand that I’m very apologetic.”</span></p>
<p>That’s all it takes if you’re a Democrat. Say something really bad, say you were never meant to hear it, say you’re sorry and move on.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In the clips, De León used the F-word and N-word to describe two black district attorneys working for the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office.</span></p>
<p>It was a little more than that.</p>

<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <span style="color: #800000;">César De León, Brownsville City Commissioner</span></p>
<p>De León said he’d never use those words but defended using those words.</p>
<p>BTW, none of those quotes appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, or the Associated Press.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">De León believes the audio tapes were recorded, edited and released by former Brownsville fire chief Carlos Elizondo, with whom de León said he was having a private conversation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/news/local/article_8464b98e-9e6a-11e7-8bc4-c743020654a6.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Brownsville Herald, 9/21/17</a></p>
<p>De León’s phraseology that the audio clip “was never meant to be public” is something the liberal media would be tearing a Republican to shreds over as we speak as it implies he may speak one way frequently and we just weren’t supposed to know about it.</p>
<p>We expect De León to get a gracious pass on this one because he did apologize after the recording was made public. After all, he was once billed as a <a href="https://texasborderbusiness.com/brownsville-commissioner-cesar-de-leon-millennial-ready-make-world-better/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“millennial ready to make the world better”</a>.</p>
<p>The Brownsville Herald’s Spanish version included additional details, for some strange reason, deemed not relevant to Gringo readers.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Since the recording was released this week, De Leon said Tetreau and District 4 Commissioner Ben Neece understand that he was having a private conversation and that he has their support.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“They understand the context in which this is happening because they are part of an audit committee in the City of Brownsville and this really is connected with an investigation,” De Leon said.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">De León believes it was Elizondo who recorded the conversation and leaked the audio.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“I think at this point it has become a personal attack to discredit me,” De León said. “I think people who know me know well about the things I’m fighting for. They understand that in times of frustration we sometimes say things we do not really mean. We act in the heat of the moment.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="http://www.elnuevoheraldo.com/el_valle/policiaca/comisionado-se-disculpa-por-utilizar-lenguaje-soez-en-grabaci-n/article_78b24530-9f09-11e7-9c5f-bfbfe050a01c.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">El Nuevo Heraldo, 9/21/17</a></p>
<p>De León could’ve been like some Democrats who’d be spending more time pointing the finger and questioning the political motivation of the person who made the recording and the media would be attacking that person as well.</p>
