										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While at the Fredericksburg Branch of the <a href="https://www.librarypoint.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Central Rappahannock Regional Library</a> in Virginia to update the latest <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/bb-media-skim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Skim</a>, we noticed unusual activity on the computer lab&#8217;s printer right next to us. A seemingly endless amount of pages were being printed out by two women; one transmitting the pages to be printed from a Mac laptop.</p>

While watching one-sided pages being churned out for several consecutive minutes, we witnessed repeated pages reproduced with the word &#8220;healthcare&#8221;. We later noticed the header on another page that read &#8220;Take the Majority 2019&#8221; which confirmed the initial impression that the three-plus reams of paper used was for political activities and a publicly-funded, community service was being exploited.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://vademocrats.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-7398 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/VA-Dems-150x37.png" alt="" width="150" height="37" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/VA-Dems-150x37.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/VA-Dems-500x123.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/VA-Dems.png 636w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>RICHMOND, VA – Virginia Democrats announced on Wednesday that they will run the largest coordinated field campaign in the Commonwealth’s history to win Democratic majorities in the House of Delegates and State Senate this year. <strong>“Take the Majority 2019”</strong> is a coordinated campaign by the Virginia House and Senate Democratic Caucuses, the Democratic Party of Virginia, the Way Ahead PAC, and the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.</span><br />

<p>In Northern Virginia, almost all of the public libraries require patrons to sign up for access and any printouts must be paid for. In the Fredericksburg area, there are no restrictions to entry, computer lab use, their printers or requirement to pay for paper used.</p>
<p>According to Martha Hutzel, Director of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library, &#8220;The policy is people can come in and print whatever they wish to print as long as it&#8217;s not pornography&#8221; and added that policy includes political materials.</p>
<p>When the women exited the lab, they sloppily left behind &#8220;Get Out the Vote&#8221; pages confirming our suspicions.</p>

Many public libraries are maintained and operated with taxpayer-funded grants and/or donor contributions, however according to the latest available nonprofit 501(c)(3) filing of <a href="https://990s.foundationcenter.org/990_pdf_archive/237/237304207/237304207_201710_990EZ.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Friends of Central Rappahannock Regional Library</a>, it&#8217;s not clear who finances this particular library as no individual donors or grantors are disclosed for public inspection.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Friend-of-the-CRRL-2016-990.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-7444" title="Friends of the CRRL 2016 Form 990" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Friend-of-the-CRRL-2016-990.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="180" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Friend-of-the-CRRL-2016-990.jpg 1050w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Friend-of-the-CRRL-2016-990-150x34.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Friend-of-the-CRRL-2016-990-768x173.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Friend-of-the-CRRL-2016-990-500x112.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a><br />
For the Democratic Party of Virginia to claim <em>(on paper printed at a public library at the public&#8217;s expense)</em> that the printed sheets were &#8220;paid for&#8221; and &#8220;authorized by the candidates mentioned herein&#8221; is misleading at the least.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-7392 size-full" title="Photo Credit: Bob Parks, Black &amp; Blonde Media ©2019" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library4.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="152" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library4.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library4-150x29.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library4-768x146.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library4-500x95.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><br />
The women hastily left with the large pile of printouts in a white SUV parked behind the library.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-7432" title="Photo Credit: Bob Parks, Black &amp; Blonde Media ©2019" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library-5.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library-5.jpg 1000w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library-5-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Library-5-500x282.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a><br />
As printer costs vary, the cost of the estimated 1,200 printouts during that visit could also vary between $48 and $96, not including sales tax, to print the pile. That may not seem like a lot in the grand scheme of things, but as we don&#8217;t know how often this may have been occurring and for how long, the amount of free resources for the Democratic Party of Virginia may be impressive. And seeing how they didn&#8217;t pay for the copies, we may also be talking about a possible abuse of campaign finance law; the use of public facilities for partisan purposes with a dollar amount attached, misleadingly labeled as &#8220;paid for&#8221; by the &#8220;Virginia Democratic Party&#8221;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-7401 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/VA-DoE-150x67.png" alt="" width="150" height="67" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/VA-DoE-150x67.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/VA-DoE.png 256w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />In-Kind Contribution</strong> – The donation of goods, services, property or anything else of value that is </span><span style="color: #808080;">offered for free or less than the usual and normal charge; or payments by a third party for goods and </span><span style="color: #808080;">services rather than money. The basis for arriving at the dollar value of an In-Kind gift is as follows: new </span><span style="color: #808080;">items are valued at retail value; used items are valued at fair market value and services rendered are </span><span style="color: #808080;">valued at the actual cost of service per hour. Services are not to include personal services (outside of the </span><span style="color: #808080;">person’s professional occupation) for which no compensation is asked or given.<br />

<p>It can&#8217;t be assumed these women are the only activists to utilize public facilities for the Virginia Democrats, this is the only election cycle it&#8217;s ever been done, and it would be a real shame if this revelation were to negatively affect the over 300,000 citizens of the Fredericksburg area who may have to one day pay for services one political party felt someone else had to pay for.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It started out as a rather unimpressive gathering of progressive, Democrat losers who had nothing better to do on a Friday night but show up to an event with the expressed purpose of the intimidation and harassment of attendees. It turned out to be yet another display of that progressive, mythical superior-intellect that had to be told what to chant and would go into sheer meltdown mode at the slightest injection of opposing opinion.</p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Richmond Times-Dispatch:</strong></span> <a href="http://www.richmond.com/news/local/city-of-richmond/article_9bb7219a-ab25-5b12-a2b4-94f2298abb2f.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Police detain five, charge one outside Trump’s Richmond rally</strong></a></p>
<p>Over the four-plus hours Black &amp; Blonde Media were outside the Richmond Coliseum, we witnessed liberal narcissists of all ages who wanted those in their circles to know they were there, expletives and racist insults freely hurled at law enforcement, a presidential nominee and his supporters who traveled there to hear him speak, and the blatant dismissal and/or threatened assault of anyone THEY deemed not “welcome” in THEIR city.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vu4jdp/?pub=6btuj" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>And now we come to that “dishonest” media thing….</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Richmond protester Mary Genthner" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Mary-Genthner.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-106996 size-medium" title="Richmond protester Mary Genthner" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Mary-Genthner-150x83.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Mary-Genthner-150x83.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Mary-Genthner-500x278.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Mary-Genthner.jpg 635w" width="150" height="83" /></a>According to <a href="http://www.nbc12.com/clip/12516206/trump-energizes-supporters-as-protesters-march-through-downtown-richmond" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBC12 Richmond’s report</a>, protester Mary Genthner claimed to have been “slapped” by a Trump supporter, however at 14:50 of our video while she’s clearly angered that the protesters’ space was violated, said nothing about being struck. In the report, she also claimed to have seen police “huggin’ and lovin&#8217;” Trump supporters. This was something we also did not witness and other published video of this event do not back up her assertion.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="The &quot;slap&quot;" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Slap.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-107002 size-medium" title="The &quot;slap&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Slap-150x84.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Slap-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Slap-500x278.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Slap.jpg 765w" width="150" height="84" /></a>In a report by Melissa Hipolit of <a href="http://wtvr.com/2016/06/11/trump-rally-protests-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Richmond’s CBS6</a>, there is video of Ms. Genthner appearing to be in the face of the Trump supporter in question and his putting his hand between his face and hers. Hardly a “slap”, and Hipolit also made reference to protesters and Trump supporters “spitting” on each other; something we neither personally witnessed or could verify on other video.</p>
<p>The Richmond <a href="http://wric.com/2016/06/10/supporters-opponents-clash-as-donald-trump-makes-campaign-stop-in-richmond/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ABC affiliate WRIC</a> reported a “fight” between Trump supporters and protesters <em>(according to “witnesses”)</em> however “fight”, according to what we saw, is clearly an exaggeration.</p>
<p>We all know what the left would’ve been screaming to this day had a Hillary or Bernie supporter entered a “free speech” area designated for Trump supporters <em>(has this even happened yet?)</em> and were verbally and physically assaulted.</p>
<p>The only instances where there was any opportunity for tumult was when the “safe space” of Generation Slush was intruded upon and the group-think rage was exacerbated. Otherwise, it was another illustration of spoiled Democrat narcissists with foul mouths, willing to disrupt an event and/or traffic because they could, and going on and on with a message the decent would be reluctant to share.</p>
<p>The Richmond Police Department and the Virginia State Police officers did an excellent job at the Trump Rally. It’s time to stand up to the REAL bullies, exposing them for the selfish frauds they are.</p>
