										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are in no particular order but there is one constant when dealing with people. There are those who are really good at what they do, and the rest range from mediocre down to piss poor.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s just about how good they are about concealing it.</p>
<h1>The <span style="color: #ff9900;">TRUST </span>Myth</h1>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Biden-oath.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27922" title="Joe Biden taking the oath of office" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Biden-oath.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="94" /></a>We&#8217;re told we can trust our leaders. Their words affect our daily lives and when repeated by our media, have profound effects on everything from grocery and gas prices to world peace.</p>
<p>However, there&#8217;s a very small number of people in the United States who can lie with near total impugnity. None of us can lie about our boss or to our customers without being promply fired. But if you&#8217;re one of the 635 on Capitol Hill <em>(clearly not the best and brightest 635 in America either&#8230;.)</em>, and as long as you&#8217;re on the clock, you can say anything you want about anything or anybody.</p>
<p>Must be nice&#8230;.</p>

<p>And they&#8217;d NEVER abuse that privilege, right?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/obama-laughing.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27921" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/obama-laughing.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">&#8220;If you like your doctor, you can keep you doctor. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.&#8221;</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/12/politifact-lie-of-the-year-if-you-like-your-healthcare-plan-you-can-keep-it-179521" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Barack Obama, PolitiFact &#8216;Lie of the Year&#8217;</a></p>
<p>Obama knew Republicans would be hard pressed and/or gutless trying to prove &#8220;high crimes and misdemeanors&#8221; here as presidents were not included in the Clause, so he just repeated this whopper over three dozen times.</p>
<p>We had politicians on the floor of the Senate accusing a presidential candidate of not filing income taxes (knowing he did), and after the election one was called on the mistruth to which he responded, <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/09/15/federal-politicians-can-legally-constitutionally-slander-anyone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Well, he didn&#8217;t win, did he?&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Americans have to live with the daily ramifications of falsehoods spoken and written by House and Senate politicians, echoed by both legacy and social media. Imagine how much better life could be if the elected were required to be honest&#8230;.</p>
<h1>The Only <span style="color: #ff9900;">MEN ARE SLOBS<span style="color: #000000;"> Myth</span></span></h1>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Slob.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27975" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Slob.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a>There are probably hundreds of instances where women declare men slobs, pigs, etc. Husbands and boyfriends are the butt of such declarations on women&#8217;s talk shows, op-ed and social media posts, and are never called on it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because women know and consciously deflect from an ugly truth: they can be easily outed as mockable projection hypocrites if their behavioral tendencies were exposed and publicly acknowledged.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Wimmins-clothing.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27980" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Wimmins-clothing.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a>Go to any department store and look at the women&#8217;s clothing and shoe aisles. One will see blouses and dresses strewn on the floor under the hung garments. Women just throw garments anywhere but back on the racks where they found them. Shoes, instead on being put back in place after being tried on, are just left on the floor to be walked around or tripped over.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Wimmins-restroom.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27976" title="Wimmins restroom" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Wimmins-restroom.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" /></a>Laura has also decribed the horrors of using a women&#8217;s public restroom.</p>
<p>Shit, piss and menstraul fluid literally splattered on and around toilet seats, soiled femine hygene products left on the floors or stopping up toilets&#8230; yeah, it&#8217;s fuckng gross and the same women who punchline men as slobs will NEVER tell you how disgusting they are behind closed stalls.</p>
<h1>The Myth About <span style="color: #ff9900;">ACADEMICS</span></h1>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher4.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-23306 size-thumbnail" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher4-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher4-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher4-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a>There is this perception that teachers and professors have the last word during any discussion. If one has any doubt, their academic credentials are thrown back in your face in an attempt to shut down any disagreement one may have with their conclusions. But why must we take their conclusion as the final word?</p>
<p>Because we&#8217;ve been trained to accept their word.</p>
<p>Teachers have the ultimate power, by issuing grades from first grade through college, to certify or destroy an academic record that has profound implications for an employment career. Since their grades are as simple as right or wrong, the implication is they know more than the student which most of the time is correct.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher7.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-23313 size-thumbnail" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher7-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher7-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher7-150x149.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher7-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Teacher7.jpg 662w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a>However in recent years, teachers (who are never given the opportunity to be <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2022/05/26/imagine-if-parents-could-first-vet-those-wholl-teach-their-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vetted by parents</a>) enter the classroom, not with the mission to educate children with the tools needed to function in society but with personal agendas that may be at odds with the values with parents. But because they are teachers with the power to destroy the academic record of any child, those agendas have been legitimized.</p>
<p>Parents are given no proof of the proficiency of any teacher but are supposed to accept they are good teachers simply because they&#8217;re employed by a school. We have no prior assurance teachers are actual decent people. But again because they are teachers, parents are not allowed to question their competence and sanity even when they repeatedly behave in deviant manners.</p>
<h1>The <span style="color: #ff9900;">LAWYER</span> Myth</h1>
<p>Given the lofty compensation for their emergency services (they&#8217;re mostly only hired when bad things happen), one would think lawyers are the ultimate professionals. Cinematic and television portrayals collectively sure give that impression.</p>
<p>And where&#8217;s the proof?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Lawyer.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27883" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Lawyer.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="114" /></a>When looking for a lawyer, you&#8217;re presented with a headshot (usually taken when he or she was much younger). You&#8217;re to be impressed by the law school attended, their degrees, their years since passing <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2024/01/07/bar-associations-are-self-important-attorney-promoting-dot-orgs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the bar exam</a>, and years in a legal area of expertice. But there&#8217;s one piece of very important information you won&#8217;t see in a lawyer&#8217;s bio.</p>
<p>When a professional sports team is looking for a new coach, the first metric their fans look at are the wins and losses. That&#8217;s the easiest way to gauge if that coach candidate is worth consideration. However with lawyers, you will NEVER see the wins and losses of any law firm or individual attorney on any website.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/lawyers.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27964" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/lawyers.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" /></a>So how do you know if the hundreds of dollars per hour, or contingency, is going to a good lawyer or a bad one?</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Ask an attorney for the number of their wins and losses and see what happens. Note the grammar in their response for a quick clue.</p>
<h1>The <span style="color: #ff9900;">DOCTOR</span> Myth</h1>
<p>Again because of their level and years of education, we&#8217;re told it&#8217;s extremely problematic to ever question the conclusion of a medical professional. But doctors and lawyers share one commonality in said professions.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t perform law or medicine. They &#8220;practice&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/practices.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-27886" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/practices.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="363" /></a><br />
That long-standing word description alone should be pause for concern as the common definition is it&#8217;s a &#8220;method of learning by repetition&#8221;. Do you really want someone learning when your finances, freedom, health or life is on the line? Like lawyers, you&#8217;re to assume high-priced doctors are good at what they do despite your not given any documentation to back it up.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/doctors.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27962" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/doctors.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a>How many patients have they cured? How many have sued them for a misdiagnosis or negligence? How many patients have they lost?</p>
<p>Despite the high compensation demanded for their services, neither offer a guarantee of success.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t ask, they won&#8217;t tell you. If they do respond, they&#8217;ll probably hide behind <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/laws-regulations/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HIPPA</a> so they still won&#8217;t tell you.</p>
<h1>The <span style="color: #ff9900;">HEALTHY FOOD </span>Myth</h1>
<p>Just read the ingredients on any food product you purchase at your market of choice and you&#8217;ll be left dumbfounded because, chances are, you can&#8217;t even pronounce some of the chemicals added to what we consume on a daily basis.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Ingredients.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27956" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Ingredients.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="111" /></a>It might surprise you to learn that many food additives found in bread, baked goods, and candy manufactured in the United States are banned or restricted in Europe and other parts of the world because of potential health risks. U.S. consumers generally assume that items on grocery store shelves have been vetted for safety, but a loophole in the approval process of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) means that 99 percent of new food chemicals aren’t evaluated before they are added to products.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/why-are-some-food-additives-that-are-banned-in-europe-still-used-in-the-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Everyday Heath</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Gagging.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27958" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Gagging.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="90" /></a></span>While the excuse may be these chemicals are added for visual and palate aesthetics or preservation, many of these additives have quite negative short and longterm health ramifications. High fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, monosodium glutamate are some of the most widely used culprits. Funny how when you see drug commercials that reveal those pesky, possible negative side effects (that inconveniently include death), we&#8217;re never given similar warnings when it comes to the ingredients added to our food.</p>
<p>Are they trying to kill us?</p>
<h1>The <span style="color: #ff9900;">HOUSING SHORTAGE</span> Myth</h1>
<p>For anyone listening to news reports about the affordability and/or availability of homes, disregard all the metrics given as there&#8217;s one very important factor the media leaves out.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Top-realtors-in-DC.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27891" title="Best Realtors in Vienna, VA – 2025" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Top-realtors-in-DC.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a>Realtors.</p>
<p>They set local and regional market prices based on their personal commission demands. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">They</span> are the ones assuring hallucinating sellers how valuable their neglected or damaged homes are. There are more protections for buying a used car than a home purchase worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.</p>
<p>Why are the homes neglected or damaged? Because some people bought over-their-head and after mortgage, bills, and daily expenses, had little money left, let alone for routine maintenance. When the inevitable happens and repairs are required, handyman cheap appears to be the remedy of choice and shoddy workmanship will be discovered belatedly by subsequent owners.</p>
<p>If you have the misfortune of searching for a home, there&#8217;s one constant: the condition of the homes you&#8217;ll see range from tolerable to you-must-be-high. From experience it&#8217;s safe to say 98% of the homes you&#8217;ll tour are in some way damaged. To a seller and realtor, the buyer is a mark. They want your money and conscience is in very short supply.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Damaged-home.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27892" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Damaged-home.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" /></a>Unless you have the wealth to build from ground up you&#8217;ll be choosing from poorly maintained, insect and/or rodent infested, mold and/or water damaged homes with inflated prices that will help an entitled seller hit the lottery and the greedy realtor receive that generous commission. If that house was initially listed at an realistic price with honest verbal and pictorial descriptions (big IF), it&#8217;ll most likely be scooped up quickly by another realtor/broker who&#8217;ll put the minimum into that house and flip it at a hefty markup. It&#8217;s the optional ethics of realtors that make home prices unaffordable for most buyers, not to mention the ripple effect of jacking up the property taxes of all those around that home.</p>
<p>Also be wary of the typical descriptions of houses found online: &#8220;meticulously maintained&#8221;, &#8220;nestled in&#8221;, &#8220;cozy&#8221;, &#8220;spacious&#8221; and other glowing adjectives that will be fodder for instant disappointment when you visit the property. Getting honest disclosures from realtors (required by law in some states) about the house is like pulling teeth. You&#8217;ll only be told what you know to ask. Then it&#8217;s a question of how much potential money you&#8217;re willing to tolerate or invest in that house after buying that expensive shack.</p>
<p>Despite all you&#8217;re told, there is no housing shortage.</p>
<p>There IS a shortage of houses that are worth the asking price.</p>
<h1>The<span style="color: #ff9900;"> QUALITY</span> Myth</h1>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Stove.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27942" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Stove.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="87" /></a>Speaking of overpriced, there was a time in America if you were to spend a little more money on an item , you were assured of receiving something of higher quality that would last for many, many years.</p>
<p>Those were the days.</p>
<p>Cars actually had steel frames and bodies that could withstand a simple bump and could inflict even more damage to whatever it came in contact with. The left saw that as unfair, so all cars were subsequently constructed with lighter materials so damage would be more equitable.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Kitchen-in-Virginia.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27941" title="Kitchen in home currently for sale in Virginia" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Kitchen-in-Virginia.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="134" /></a>Just look at some of the 60&#8217;s era kitchen appliances you can <span style="text-decoration: underline;">still</span> find in homes currently for sale.</p>
<p>Today, the more you spend on anything, you&#8217;ll purchase the inferior in order to get you to repeat that sad cycle. Any product or service you don&#8217;t buy often will be used against you. The quality will be questionable at best to assure multiple repeat visits that will never fix the problem. Whether we&#8217;re talking about an appliance, store, auto mechanic, finding someone who&#8217;s first mission isn&#8217;t to rip you off is like seeking the Holy Grail.</p>

<h1>The<span style="color: #ff9900;"> MEDIA</span> Myth</h1>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15521 size-medium" title="Lesley Stahl of &quot;60 Minutes&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>We&#8217;re told to trust the media, and who says that the most?</p>
<p>The media.</p>
<p>Without those who consume their product, their overinflated salaries don&#8217;t happen. News anchors must come off as authorities on any given topic and when the inevitable happens and they get something very wrong, apologies and retractions are as brief and short as possible. To make matters worse, whether we&#8217;re talking about the news or entertainment industries, these people truly believe they are smarter that the American people whose ignorance on any given topic should be solely blamed on&#8230; the media.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mika-2017.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15874 size-medium" title="Mika Brzezinski, 2/22/17" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mika-2017-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mika-2017-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mika-2017.jpg 639w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">Our job is to control what people think.</span></strong><br />

<p>Note the use of terms used when describing the American people: &#8220;average&#8221;, &#8220;everyday&#8221;, &#8220;ordinary&#8221; people. Think of the narcissistic arrogance and sense of privilege it takes to constantly look at others in that fashion. It gives too many the license to misinform and/or manipulate because they believe they know what&#8217;s best for the public, and for those they prefer and deem protectable.</p>
<p>Many of today&#8217;s journalists also believe if it&#8217;s something <span style="text-decoration: underline;">they&#8217;ve</span> never heard of, it never happened. What could go wrong with that thinking?</p>
<p>Also be wary whenever a journalist cites an &#8220;expert&#8221; to justify a conclusion. More times than not like &#8220;anonymous sources&#8221;, those experts are not named and if so, the number is as few as possible. That &#8220;source&#8221; can also be an academic (see: above), or based on past incidents, can be <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2012/07/10-journos-caught-fabricating-079221" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made up altogether</a>.</p>
<p>Arrogance crosses into the entertainment industry where television and movie celebrities believe they&#8217;re deep thinkers and know it all simply because of where they work, not to mention those who work for them who don&#8217;t have the guts to risk their employment and tell these entertainers when they&#8217;re wrong. As a result, embarrassingly misinformed musings are distributed to the masses.</p>

I am aware how sharing inaccurate content can cause confusion and distress; for this I am deeply sorry. I will certainly endeavour to be more diligent in future to verify anything I share online.</span><br />

<p>For the most part, disregard their opinions unless you put them in the parody column.</p>
<p>When it comes to the world of broadcast sports, on-air pundits could be the worse as too many believe they&#8217;re also comedians instead of analysts. Their jokes and segments aren&#8217;t funny, and we&#8217;re to embrace their condescending belief that eye candy is necessary to keep men interested.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Luigi-Mangione.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27311" title="Luigi Mangione" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Luigi-Mangione.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" /></a>As expected, the usual attention/relevance seekers are adding their unsolicited voices to the conversation over the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson by our latest social media-anointed accused hero Luigi Mangione.</p>
<p>Politicians and media pundits just have to ingratiate us with their informed opinions that almost always start of with &#8220;Murder is bad, <strong>BUT</strong>&#8230;.&#8221; and then go on to find twisted ways to justify a murder of someone who may do something they don&#8217;t like. Even while, in this case, the murder victim had zero to do with whatever the accused issues are/were.</p>
<p>Over the years, circumstances brought me to opine on several instances I titled &#8220;When Bad Things Happen To&#8230;.&#8221; We&#8217;re usually talking about those who arrogantly refer to Americans as &#8220;average&#8221; or &#8220;ordinary people&#8221; because we all know they consider themselves so more extraordinary than us.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2014/09/23/medias-domestic-violence-dirty-laundry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17416 size-medium" title="Marv Albert" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Marv-Albert-150x200.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="200" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Marv-Albert-150x200.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Marv-Albert-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Marv-Albert-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Marv-Albert.jpg 1240w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>When people commit crime, the media gleefully splashes the accused’ face all over their broadcasts. Yet when a media person is busted, we’re told we must forgive and eventually forget it ever happened so that person can continue to make a living.</p>
<p>If anyone attacked a prompter-reader for their hypocrisy, media collective would be outraged if it was said that attack was bad, <strong>BUT</strong>….</p>
<p>When our politicians target a certain segment of the population, they demand the “letter of the law” be upheld. When they screw up, they demand we forgive them and eventually forget it ever happened so they can raise money for their reelection.</p>
<p>If anyone attacked a politician for an offence (and we’re talking sexual indiscretions to bribery), all politicians would be outraged if it was said that attack was bad, <strong>BUT</strong>….</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Obamacare-passage-upscale-2x.jpeg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-27317" title="Democrats pass Obamacare" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Obamacare-passage-upscale-2x.jpeg" alt="" width="150" height="133" /></a>When Obamacare was passed, every American was seemingly forced into acquiring government-run healthcare that imposed much higher premiums and deductibles. Every business that employed more than 50 people were required to cover their employees. Let&#8217;s not forget, Capitol Hill politicians found a way to exempt themselves by saying each office was a business that employed less than 50 people and, lo and behold, an exclusive health care program was created just for them that was far cheaper and had better coverage than the &#8220;Affordable Care Act&#8221; scam that was mandatory for everyone else.</p>
<p>If anyone attacked a politician for the harsh health care increase and resulting financial hardship, all politicians would be outraged if it was said that attack was bad, <strong>BUT</strong>….</p>
<p>When the COVID-19 pandemic initially hit, politicians nationwide shut down their states and millions of Americans essentially lost their means of income.</p>
<p>However, one of the first thing politicians on Capitol Hill did was pass the &#8220;<a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/6817711/Updated-House-Bill.pdf">Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act</a>&#8221; that essentially assured no federal employee would miss a paycheck and, coincidently, that law was seemingly replicated in state houses nationwide so most public servants would be paid uninterrupted.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Whitmer-Cuomo.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-12744 size-medium" title="Governors Gretchen Whitmer and Chris Cuomo" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Whitmer-Cuomo-150x83.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="83" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Whitmer-Cuomo-150x83.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Whitmer-Cuomo-500x278.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Whitmer-Cuomo.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>We all know how some shutdown governors (most of whom never missed receiving a taxpayer-funded paycheck) blew off the very mandates they imposed on their populations and arrogantly found reasons to justify and flaunt their privilege.</p>
<p>If anyone attacked a governor for the loss of a business or job and all the negative fallout that comes with sudden unemployment, all politicians would be outraged if it was said that attack was bad, <strong>BUT</strong>….</p>
<p>We’ve been beat over the head about the only real instance of violence at a conservative rally, “January 6<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">th</span>” by Democrats and their media. We’ve seen the pictures of Capitol Hill politicians cowering-in-place at the horror mass violence brings.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/George-Floyd-protest.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-26887 size-medium" title="George Floyd protests" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/George-Floyd-protest-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/George-Floyd-protest-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/George-Floyd-protest-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/George-Floyd-protest-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/George-Floyd-protest.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>However these are the same politicians who, in some cases, justified and excused the mass liberal Democrat mayhem that held the nation hostage during the Summer of 2020 where mostly black businesses were burned and looted, public and private businesses were vandalized, too many people were injured or killed and police officers all over the country were wounded and/or assassinated.</p>
<p>The horror experienced by Americans was “mostly peaceful” and not the best optics, <strong>BUT</strong>….</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/AOC-Warren.jpeg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-27312" title="Representative ALexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Elizabeth Warren" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/AOC-Warren.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="375" /></a><br />
Thanks to the American people, President-Elect Donald J. Trump’s reelection has reduced the Democrat Party and their fake news media accomplices into a temporary state of irrelevance, thus the musings of Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Governor Chris Murphy, Michael Moore and many others on social media have been met with the appropriate outrage.</p>
<p>&#8220;Violence is never the answer, <strong>BUT</strong> people can be pushed only so far,&#8221; Warren told HuffPost.</p>
<p>This mental illness is nothing new to Democrats; from the civil war they waged to keep slaves to the mass murder of innocent babies in the womb. Their adherence to the “by any means necessary” mindset gives them license to impose whatever violence they deem appropriate. That is, until it happens to them and in most cases, by them.</p>
<p>Then violence is <u>never</u> the answer.</p>
<p>No ands, ifs, or <strong>BUT</strong>s….</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Democrats and their media have called the &#8220;January 6&#8221; riot an &#8220;insurrection&#8221; despite the fact 99% the protesters were unarmed. We, like in most cases, were told to take their word for it. For years, video was selectively released and edited to maintain the leftist narrative that &#8220;democracy&#8221; in the United States was almost lost in that day.</p>
<p>Granted, things clearly got out of hand but was the government going to be overthrown and replaced by a rogue group? Nah.</p>
<p>A documentary was produced with a timeline of events of that day. Yes, the dramatic music beds are amateurishly annoying and unnecessary, but the guts of the assembled footage is compelling.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">J6: A True Timeline gives the audience a never-before-seen timestamped blueprint for the events of January 6, 2021, as they unfolded in real time. No other film to date fills the gaps or tells the story chronologically the way this film does. The film is also different from anything produced to date because a small group of protestors, some who are J6 defendants, have been the ones to collect hours of footage to help contextualize the events of the day. The film was funded and produced entirely through small donations and tens of thousands of volunteer man hours. The hope is that the film will provoke all Americans to be more curious about the true timeline of January 6.</span><br />

<p>January 6th was an example of what we&#8217;ve been told to acknowledge as a &#8220;peaceful protest&#8221;. There were also clear examples of law enforcement missteps and abuse, political cowardice, media bias and propaganda, unnecessary tragic injury and death. It could be argued there have been hundreds of liberal protests, over the last decade alone, that have brought much more damage and loss of life, many times over January 6th. No politician or government official was forcibly abducted and/or forced to relinquish the authority of the government to a hostile entity. That customarily occurs during your textbook dictionary definition of an &#8220;insurrection&#8221;.</p>
<p>January 6th was many things.</p>
<p>An &#8220;insurrection&#8221; it was not.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Last month, sicko agitators chased Micki Witthoeft, Ashli Babbitt’s mother, at the corner of Constitution NW and First St NW, north of the Reflecting Pool, to stand united against the political persecution of the January 6th political prisoners, screaming “You are going to die!… Ashli deserved to die!… We don’t give a shit about you or Ashli!”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“Fuck your Jesus!!”</strong>, they repeatedly yelled at the predominantly Christian crowd as they sang Bible songs with tambourines in front of the DC Jail. Leftist Counter-Protesters screamed horrific things at the still grieving mother, including <strong>“Ashli Deserved to Die! You are a bad Mom!”</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/J6-persecution-counter-prot.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-24727 size-medium" title="Brianne Chapman at &quot;January 6th Solidarity Truth Rally&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/J6-persecution-counter-prot-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/J6-persecution-counter-prot-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/J6-persecution-counter-prot-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/J6-persecution-counter-prot.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>After today’s rally, an unhinged woman began harassing Micki,  hurling horrific comments at her about her daughter screaming.

<p>Just going out on a limb here but, at this point in her life, there&#8217;s very little chance Brianne Chapman will do anything of significant public value or sacrifice that would make some in the general public want to pay tribute to her. She probably wouldn&#8217;t appreciate having such a gesture be desecrated in such a juvenile way.</p>
<p>But when it comes to liberal Democrats, brainwashed by a lying party, politically-infected education infrastructure, and propagandist media, a Brianne Chapman is what you get.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Parking on Capitol Hill, when you don&#8217;t have the appropriate stickers on your car, can be challenging. But if you&#8217;re a sitting member of the House of Representatives, your options increase when you don&#8217;t have to observe laws or any sense of courtesy.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Rep. Thomas Massie posted a 2015 video of Washington, D.C., Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton parking poorly near the Capitol in an escalating Twitter feud between the two lawmakers. The Kentucky Republican recently wrote on Twitter that his office &#8220;will not comply&#8221; with Washington, D.C.&#8217;s vaccine mandate to enter some public spaces, such as restaurants and entertainment venues. Norton, who represents the district as a delegate in the House, as the city is not a state, responded she would provide sandwiches for Massie&#8217;s staff who are vaccinated but &#8220;afraid they&#8217;ll get fired if they order in.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">&#8220;If that description fits you and you&#8217;re hungry, [direct message] me and my staff will be in touch,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;DC has your back.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Massie taunted Norton in response, tweeting the resurrected video and asking her not to drive to get the sandwiches.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://gazette.com/news/thomas-massie-resurrects-eleanor-holmes-norton-parking-video-in-escalating-social-media-feud/article_f885b809-20b9-54e5-a595-2a7cbf4e64c1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Gazette, 1/18/22</a></p>
<p>Good call&#8230;.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Speaking exclusively to FOX 5&#8217;s Tom Fitzgerald on Thursday, Norton said she was late for a TV interview, in an area where she doesn&#8217;t normally park, and wasn&#8217;t expecting construction or the six-point turn she would need to execute in order to park. Norton&#8217;s staffers say the car next to her reported no damage. Capitol Police say no report was ever made.</span><br />

I want people to know how awful this political strain can be on certain people,&#8221; Jackson Reffitt, 18, told ABC News&#8217; T.J. Holmes in an interview airing Tuesday on &#8220;Good Morning America.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Jackson&#8217;s father, Guy Reffitt, at their home in Wylie, Texas, northeast of Dallas, on Jan. 15. He is accused of unlawful entry on Capitol grounds and obstruction of justice. Jackson Reffitt told ABC News that he is now in hiding and has cut ties with his family, who he said is upset with him for calling the FBI tip line weeks before the Capitol siege to alert them about his father.</span><br />

<p>So, what are the ramifications for turning in a parent? Well, there are short-term default mechanisms available.</p>

<p>As said in 2003 during my second television program, the ONLY thing we legally owe our children is food, clothing and shelter. From conception through the 18th birthday, the monetary outlays given to children out of love could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars if one was to also add gifts and entertainment activities to that amount.</p>
<p>But because of what children are taught in schools <em>(behind the parents&#8217; back)</em>, they now believe they are morally obligated to subject their parents to arrest, fines and legal bills just because they support a political movement the kid does not.</p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hitler-Youth.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17140 size-medium" title="Hitler Youth" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hitler-Youth-150x166.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="166" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hitler-Youth-150x166.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Hitler-Youth.jpg 682w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></span>This is nothing new.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The Nazi Party knew that families — private, cohesive groups not usually under political sway — were an obstacle to their goals. The Hitler Youth was a way to get Hitler’s ideology into the family unit, and some members of the Hitler Youth even denounced their parents when they behaved in ways not approved of by the Reich.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.history.com/news/how-the-hitler-youth-turned-a-generation-of-kids-into-nazis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How the Hitler Youth Turned a Generation of Kids Into Nazis</a></p>
<p>These shortsighted narcissists should be very careful.</p>
<p>How many times could a parent have called the cops on their children after finding out they had a couple beers with their friends, despite being under the legal drinking age? How many times could a parent have called the cops on their children after finding out they smoked some weed?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/antifa-facebook-ad.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17165 size-medium" title="Antifa recruitment ad currently on Facebook" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/antifa-facebook-ad-150x282.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="282" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/antifa-facebook-ad-150x282.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/antifa-facebook-ad-545x1024.jpg 545w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/antifa-facebook-ad-768x1443.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/antifa-facebook-ad.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>If these self-righteous children believe they&#8217;re obligated to report their parents to law enforcement for political and/or social transgressions, there are hundreds, if not thousands of parents who now MUST call the cops when they find out their spawn have been coordinating with any &#8220;Occupy&#8221;, &#8220;social justice&#8221; group and the likes of Antifa. They should immediately call the cops when they see suspect black clothing and facial coverings in their kids&#8217; closet, they were out when traffic was disrupted, local monuments were toppled, storefronts were smashed and looted, buildings set on fire, police officers attacked and injured, and innocent bystanders were murdered in cold blood.</p>
<p>Yes, there is a legal obligation to report crimes you know were committed. But there are also laws to protect family members from having to testify against each other. That&#8217;s probably one reason we don&#8217;t currently have hundreds of children and young adults facing local, state, and federal charges for everything from vandalism to murder. Parents haven&#8217;t ratted out their kids out of love. But love, as we all know, must be a two-way street and if it isn&#8217;t, all bets are off.</p>
<p>Many parents have more than enough probable cause to have their children arrested for participation in &#8220;peaceful protests&#8221; that are intentionally hijacked and turned into opportunities for willful mayhem.</p>

Black Lives Matter, ShutDown, Occupy, Antifa gatherings almost always end the same way: damage, injury, and sometimes death and the participants are mostly young adults living at home.</p>
<p>Tell your child if he or she will call the cops on them, they&#8217;re no longer welcome in your home and you&#8217;ll throw out everything they personally paid for out in the street. That should fit into a backpack. If under 18, see how they like foster homes.</p>

If enough parents turn in these wayward children, neither GoFundMe donors or activists will be able to keep up with the bail needed to keep their sorry asses out of jail.</p>
<p>If children want to rat on their parents for social media brownie points, fine. But these things can go both ways and maybe, from now on, they should.</p>
