They appeal to the naive who know nothing about them. The template is out there for all to see and utilize.

A woman identifying herself as “Reformed Republican” posted a photo of herself in a “Make America Great Again” hat and announced she refused to hide any longer.

The way the story ended, however, was not the way Republicans would have hoped. She posted a GoFundMe link to a since-deleted request for help. She raised over $150,000 off of conservative donors.

Once she was finally outed, she explained that it wasn’t stealing because Republicans aren’t people, to begin with.

We’ve repeatedly warned conservatives to vet those they blindly embrace and we’re admonished because if they saw that person on FOX NEWS, that’s all they need, despite the fact Fox News doesn’t issue retractions when they get suckered.

Sadly, people who want to be a part of something on Facebook and wish to appear tolerant and inclusive, are easy pickin’s for those who look down on you as stupid.

You keep proving their point.

Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican.
— Gaylord Parkinson, California Republican Party Chairman

While we’ve never understood the wisdom of insulting an audience on the professional level, Mark Levin has long since made it plain and clear that Donald Trump doesn’t meet his “conservative principles” standard or approval thus any disagreement subjects a differing opinion to his vocal contempt.

During the delegate count at the Tuesday afternoon session of the RNC Convention, Levin let slip just what he thought of those who officially ended any hope of injecting his preferred Ted Cruz as the Republican presidential nominee.

So called “conservatives” like Levin would be demanding Trump supporters unite behind Ted Cruz had he won the primary, but these sore-loser hypocrites are now demanding the person they’ve demeaned now reach out to them or risk losing the presidential election without their presence at the ballot box in November.

Who does that?

Liberals always claim the need to “educate” people who don’t do what they want and have no problem disenfranchising voters to get their way. Cruzers are clearly displaying the very same authoritarian tactics so-called conservatives bitch about constantly.

While Thompson claims Trump only earned 40% of the Republican primary votes, he did so against a field of 16 other candidates (not one or two, or even four…) which makes that victory percentage all the more impressive.

All of the candidates were asked to sign a pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee. To date, only Ben Carson and Chris Christie have honored their signatures and one would think “keeping your word” would be one of those hallowed “conservative principles”.

Thompson is claiming being bound to vote to reflect the voters’ state preference is unconstitutional. However, a popular vote was quite binding when she and other delegates ran for their seats. Conveniently, things are suddenly different now.

Hypocrites like those in the #NeverTrump column would be the first to cite “conservative principles” had Ted Cruz won the primary contest and another candidate’s supporters would attempt to do the very thing Thomson and Kendal Unruh are seeking to do now, and should they be successful and replace Trump with Ted Cruz (who is clearly their pick), they’ll be the first to demand everyone in the Republican Party rally around their choice because staying home and not voting (which they’ve promised to do if Trump is the nominee) would put Hillary in the White House and we all know who they’ll blame.

There’s a very good chance they’ll make things interesting in Cleveland and if they do wrest the nomination away from Donald Trump and hand it to Ted Cruz, let’s hope the Cruzers are ready for the very public shaming they will deservedly earn. They should NEVER seek the votes of those they’ll happily disenfranchise now as they’ll have a “conscience” as well.

“Conservative principles” will become the joke Cruzers have made it.

7/11/16 UPDATE

The #NeverTrumpers have apparently cleared one hurdle to creating chaos in Cleveland in pursuit of their so-called “conservative principles” that they believe should overrule the will of the people in their states.

A GOP delegate has won his lawsuit challenging a Virginia law that would have forced him to vote for Donald Trump on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention next week. The case was brought by Virginia delegate Carroll Boston Correll, who “pleads under oath that he ‘believes that Donald Trump is unfit to serve as President of the United States and that voting for Donald Trump’ on the first ballot at the 2016 Republican National Convention, as required by Section 545(D), ‘would therefore violate Correll’s conscience.’”

The federal court’s ruling arrived on the heels of anti-Trump delegate Kendal Unruh’s announcement that there are enough delegates on the RNC’s Rules Committee to force the entire convention to vote on whether or not delegates should be free to vote their conscience on the first ballot in the GOP nomination.

Then again, it all depends on who you listen to because another aspect of the suit addressed a different perceived result.

Senior United States District Judge Robert E. Payne today ruled in favor of Trump campaign delegates who had argued – in line with overwhelming public opinion – that RNC delegates must follow election results and that delegates cannot be stolen at the national convention. Delegate Beau Correll, Jr., had brought the suit against the Commonwealth of Virginia hoping to reject the will of the voters, but was soundly defeated.

Specifically, the Court found that RNC Rule 16, which binds delegates based on their election results, “is in effect presently and that it controls the allocation and binding of delegates as to their voting at convention.” (p. 6) The Court held that the Plaintiff’s “expert testimony” from Erling ‘Curly’ Haugland was not credible, lacked “textual support,” (p.6) and that “delegates are bound by RNC Rule 16.” (p. 7)

Further, the Court found that by signing the “Declaration and Statement of Qualification,” RNC delegates are bound by RNC Rule 16(c)(2) (p. 10), and that this Declaration obligated Correll to vote in accordance with Republican Party rules and Virginia’s election results. (p. 46)
— Donald Trump Facebook post, 7/11/16

Curiously, neither side cites the same part of the judge’s ruling, thus the whole two-sides-to-every-story thing muddies up the works.

Either way, should these people succeed in nullifying the millions of people who voted for Donald Trump, they will be very publicly shunned.

Richmond Times-Dispatch: Police detain five, charge one outside Trump’s Richmond rally

Over the four-plus hours Black & 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.

And now we come to that “dishonest” media thing….

According to NBC12 Richmond’s report, 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’” Trump supporters. This was something we also did not witness and other published video of this event do not back up her assertion.

In a report by Melissa Hipolit of Richmond’s CBS6, 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.

The Richmond ABC affiliate WRIC reported a “fight” between Trump supporters and protesters (according to “witnesses”) however “fight”, according to what we saw, is clearly an exaggeration.

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 (has this even happened yet?) and were verbally and physically assaulted.

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.

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.

Donald Trump, at a news conference in New York City, being pulled (kicking and screaming) to respond to media demands on where he put millions of dollars raised for veteran charities. Of course, aside from his begrudgingly answering their questions, the media had to endure the multiple indignities of having their profession and integrity being attacked, and those attacks were directed and taken very personally.

The skin is quite thin within the media elite and it’s going to take a long time for the ego bruises to heal.

Does anyone know of ONE media outlet that’s asked if Hillary Clinton has donated one dollar to a veteran cause or is it okay for her to only be on the receiving end?

Over the years, the media has gone out-of-their-way to attack the political, financial, and personal lives of whomever they’ve wished. Most of the time, those who’ve been victims of the pressure have little recourse because of the media’s 1st Amendment privilege, and you can clearly hear the worry by some that they may actually have to be careful of what they present to the people as “news” because someone is finally pointing the finger back at them!

Trump was not “bullying” these people because they demanded answers on his vet donations. He was not “avoiding scrutiny.” He answered their questions. He’s got these 27-year-old young journalists out there, and all he was pointing out is, “Where is the scrutiny of Mrs. Clinton? Where is the same scrutiny of Democrat candidates?” That’s one of the many things that I heard in that press conference.
— Rush Limbaugh, 6/1/15

The problem is the media has arrogantly gone about their “business” for years, selectively applying scrutiny, creative and deceptive editing, repeating false narratives that Republicans had to spend valuable time and expense disproving, bias by omission, and this is no new phenomenon that just arose with the candidacy of Donald Trump.

There are websites devoted exclusively to media bias and errors, exposing partisan, false information routinely disseminated to the general public for decades.

Whether we’re talking about the Friday-before-the-election 2000 Bush DUI effort, the “fake but accurate” standard set by Dan Rather, the selective editing of 911 calls, journalists running interference for their preferred candidate during debates, some rape reporting requiring less fact-checking while some rapists are vigorously defended, sometimes the media asks “where’s the money” while other times not appearing to care, and there are dozens more national examples while we have no idea of how bad the problem is on the local end. We’ve had “journalists” lie to our faces on numerous occasions and they’re STILL working, but yet they’re all so sensitive when THEIR integrity is oh-so-viciously questioned by Donald Trump.

When does the media get to determine what the proper timeline is to hand out money to a charity? When does the media get to determine what the right and wrong thing to do is on anything? Who are they? Are they the arbiters of virtue? Have they never made a misstep? It’s the thing that’s always bugged me. These people get to sit in total judgment on everybody else. You try to turn it around on them. “You can’t do that, we’re journalists.”

Yeah, why is that any different? We can’t look at your past, find out how many illegitimate kids you might have had, how many DUIs you’ve got, how many women you might have had knocked up in college, we’re not allowed to find that out? “No, you’re not, I’m a journalist. My life is irrelevant. It’s not part of the story.” Well, it ought to be. You’re out there making claims on everybody else’s misbehaving. If you’re gonna set yourself up as the arbiter of propriety and morality and goodness and decency and all this stuff, let’s see how you fall into it. But they don’t want any part of it.
— Rush Limbaugh, 6/1/16

High-and-mighty “journalists” insist they’re objective: an assertion we’ve laughed at many times before because you can’t objectively report news while your objective is to “make a difference”.

Unfortunately, their biases are reflected in their reporting and Trump’s warning that they may have to get used to being called out publicly means that many in the media may have a greater incentive to help Hillary Clinton (who has yet to have a press conference in 2016) get elected so they won’t have to be subjected to such harsh disrespect.

The media can dish it but can’t take it. You think that’s a weakness Donald Trump is going to exploit as long as it’s dangling in front of him… and with a fair amount of glee?

Beyond having her lips overdrawn, so she could repeatedly appear on cable news as a talking head for a particular issue, this chick has not been in any sort of battle, nor has she ever been on the frontline in anything ever, so you can back up.

Baby cakes, this was more than just going on television and flashing them pearly whites and your flat chested, red dress, over-sprayed bleach blond hair while you sit and preach all this stuff about who is or isn’t a conservative?
— Dana Loesch, The Dana Show, 5/9/16

It’s clear some males in the conservative movement prefer a certain profile of so-called “conservative” public female; a profile that Ms. “Christian” Dana Loesch has appeared to have no problem exploiting for her own financial gain. As she’s proven, repeating “Jesus”, wearing a low-cut “red dress” have worked very well for her (heels, push-up bra, false eyelashes and a gun are good substitutes for “over-sprayed bleach blond hair”). Is calling a woman Loesch knew endured a double-mastectomy “flat-chested” an official conservative form of expression we’ve missed?.

Some of us are quite secure in our conservative activism (going back to the 1996 Keyes campaign) without rudely shoving it in people’s faces and delegitimizing others simply because they believe uniting for Donald Trump (and NOT voting for Hillary in protest) is the best logical conservative tactic.

And as far as her work “in the trenches”, Loesch should recall this little passage in the Bible she conveniently clings to about those “workers in the vineyard”.

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
— Matthew 20:1-16, King James Version

Dana Loesch’s classless hypocritical rant could hardly be considered anything a true conservative “Christian” woman should be proud of. Over the years we’ve met and worked with many genuine Republicans who’ve done some of the very things Loesch constantly reminds us all she’s done, and have given more of their time and personal funds without the expectation of personal fame and/or financial gain.

Then again, as we ARE talking about Dana Loesch, her response would probably be “I bet you love me now.”

She clearly has no issues with self-esteem.

FLASHBACK: Let’s not forget Dana Loesch was a very vocal #NeverTrumper who WAS DEFINING WHO IS A CONSERVATIVE…!

The #NeverTrump Know-it-Alls Owe Us A Sincere Apology

Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump campaign manager, was charged this morning with misdemeanor battery after allegations of forcefully grabbing a reporter at a Jupiter news conference, town police confirmed this morning.

Following a March 8 conference at Trump National Golf Club, Michelle Fields, a 28-year-old reporter formerly with the online Breitbart News Network, said she was grabbed on the arm by Lewandowski, 41, after she asked Trump a question about affirmative action.

Washington Post reporter Ben Terris wrote that he witnessed the battery.
— Palm Beach Post, 3/29/16

For the last month, all we’ve seen are inconclusive videos that made it easy for Fields and her numerous sympathetic protectors to claim she was pushed, grabbed, thrown down, etc. and of course, Michelle Fields would NEVER have created drama (again) just because she needed to let people know of her very existence as she’s coming out with a book…?

Anyway, surveillance video from the Jupiter Police Department puts Field’s victim-status in its proper perspective…

It might be a good idea for attention-whore Michelle Fields to (finally!) shut up, lay low, or lawyer-up to defend herself because the initial story doesn’t match the videotape.

A police report lists Michelle Fields, a 28-year-old Breitbart News Network reporter, as the alleged victim in the incident. The report does not give a description of the incident but cites the weapons used as “hands, feet, fist, teeth”. There is no mention of Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, whom Fields said left bruises on her arm after she asked Trump a question following a news conference.
— Palm Beach Post, 3/11/16

Young people like Fields, Shapiro, and Terris are part of the reason the news business is as incompetently performed as it is, because it always has to be all about them, and not doing what they’re supposed to be doing: their job.

Corey Lewandowski was charged by a Clinton supporter, but we’ll not assume this is at all politically motivated, right? Stand by because it’s now getting thick.

Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg is part of Hillary Clinton’s team.

After questions were raised about the event, Ben Terris ordered his photographer to destroy or withhold any evidence revealing the hoax.

The players now have to go all the way because of public police reports on the so-called “battery” which will clearly be questioned because of now very thin credibility. Michelle Fields may never be able to get a job in journalism and that would be a belated good thing, but it’s again sad how easily conservative males fall for the stupid.

Of course, we’re talking about the division within the Republican Party because of the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump. The one talking point repeated by most is that he “can’t be bought”. There’s more to that.

Campaign Leeches

You’d have to live close to The Beltway to understand how the Donald Trump campaign has upset the standard operating procedure of Washington, D.C. and the consultant, political operative class. The easiest way to describe the filth that exists here is with an analogy.

Let’s say we’re talking about the NFL Playoffs and on a given weekend, eight teams played and four were defeated; their season ended. What would we be saying about the dedication and loyalty to the fans if players on the losing teams started sending their resumes to the teams that were beating them before the game was even over? That NEVER happens in sports but it DOES in politics because these staffers have no loyalty to a candidate or his or her supporters; ONLY to themselves and how much donor cash they can suck into their own bank accounts.

That’s why we saw Reagan-Bush people working on the McCain campaign, Reagan-Bush-McCain people working on the Romney campaign, and now Reagan-Bush-McCain-Romney people working on today’s campaigns, not to mention all of the other primary loser’s people.

That is, except on the Trump campaign.

Donald Trump has dared use his own money and selected a team from people he obviously knows and trust; not from the large pool of proven, experienced win-or-losers who care more about the paycheck than the the American people, and THAT is one reason why the establishment hates Trump. He hasn’t opened his checkbook to them as he was supposed to.

And that brings us to…

Conservative Media ‘Leaders’

We have all these so-called “conservative” leaders who no one elected, have never run for a political office (thus really sticking their necks out), defining conservatism as they so deem, and anyone who dares not follow their lead will incur their wrath, for all that’s really worth.

So, who the hell are THEY?

Has any one of you ever voted for Dana Loesch to be a “leader”? How about Erick Erickson or Brent Bozell or Katie Pavlich or Jenny Beth Martin or Rich Lowry, as well as any of the others who work at glorified, top-heavy nonprofit blogs dependent on big money donors or the charitable donations of retirees?

NOTE: We don’t mean to dash any inflated egos but there are tens of millions of good Republicans out there who’ve never heard of RedState, the Media Research Center, Townhall, the Heritage Foundation, National Review, and/or the myriad of self-important blogs that believe they are oh-so influential with Republican politicians.

Do Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Michael Medved, or Hugh Hewitt remember what happened to the Oprah Winfrey empire once she publicly chose sides with the black guy and rubbed it in the face of her audience members that supported the white woman? To say her empire tanked without recovery would be an understatement, and the arrogance of these so-called conservatives to believe the audience they presently insult will beg to come back home once the general election dust clears is .

I believe Rush Limbaugh remembers, which is why he’s observing the competition and not favoring one opponent over another.

They Believe They’re Immune From Backlash

Self-anointed conservative leaders sure believe they’re your representatives and have come right out and said that anyone who supports Donald Trump is an ignoramus, has mental issues, or worse. Mark Levin arrogantly continues to rant for Ted Cruz, redefining conservatism and rewriting the creds of Ronald Reagan, hoping his listeners won’t know they’re being played.

Some of these blogs and/or nonprofits hit up Donald Trump for money, were turned down, and are having a collective “tude” whenever possible on Fox News, because knowing some of them as I do (as well as their “conservative” convictions), had they received that big check from The Donald, their tune would be 180 degrees opposite.

The unelected “conservative” leaders are as intolerant as black Democrats who banish family members who (oh, Lawd) rebel and vote Republican and feel justified in using the taboo racial slurs against them. A vote for someone who hasn’t paid his dues and spread donor money to the party leech apparatus is misguided, and anyone who votes Trump is thought to be unworthy of intellectual consideration and is insulted on-air with the arrogance conservatives have attacked liberals about for years.

The presidential campaign of Donald Trump has turned the sunlight on the process. Not only are we witnessing the attempt by the Republican Party (and their has-beens) to nullify the will of the people, we are seeing the political whore class exposed for the disloyal, money grubbers they are.

Donald Trump is NOT with the refined, scripted, phony consultant-class program, is still winning, and that just pisses them off, while millions of others are delighted that “change” isn’t something exclusive to the left.

As a public service, Donald Trump didn’t give the leeches his money. Taken as a declaration of war by the campaign staff class, the Republican donor class has poured millions of dollars into these bruised-egos and their value (or lack their of) is being revealed to the world.

So, let the RNC and the others try and meddle with the will of the people. You KNOW, Mr. Trump has an app ready for that and he’ll make sure it hurts.

Before we get all wrapped up in the traditional pity for the poor, picked-on, helpless little girlie like most of the online male bloggers are doing, let’s not take the present narrative at face value without looking at the face’s past exploits.

One of the big stories of the last two days is, “Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields said she was nearly thrown to the ground by the aide after asking Trump a question”…”nearly”.

In an article published Thursday on Breitbart, Fields said she was covering a campaign event at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, when the incident occurred. She said Trump seemed to be in a good mood at the event, as he had just won multiple primaries, and was walking around answering questions from reporters.

So, when Trump approached her, Fields said she asked him a question about affirmative action. Before he could respond, she said she was “jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down,” she wrote. “I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken.”

There are many red flags here as it always seems to be all about Michelle, and this is NOT the first time.

In 2011, coinciding with an Americans for Prosperity event in Washington, D.C., Michelle Fields found herself in the middle of an Occupy DC protest and again, she was a victim.

While covering Occupy DC’s protest of Americans for Prosperity’s “Defending the American Dream Summit” Friday night at the Washington Convention Center, Daily Caller video reporter Michelle Fields was verbally harassed throughout the evening. In an interview, she tells TheDC about how she felt threatened and how the Occupy DC mob looked anything but impoverished.

Daily Caller editor Jamie Weinstein’s (who, incidentally is Field’s boyfriend) piece on the incident was sickening. Seriously, when was the last time you remember an editor write a piece on how badly one of his or her reporters were treated in a protest? It just doesn’t happen because reporters are supposed to have enough common sense to not get in the middle of anything where tensions run high. That’s why video cameras come with standard features like a zoom lens….

Michelle Fields exploited her “harassment” and was awarded with much Fox News coverage. However, her head got so big that, insider word was at the time, she then refused to write; she only wanted to appear on camera and that eventually got her fired from the Caller. At one point I was later told she approached my former employer, was told by another department that they were going to pass on hiring her and wanted to know if I wanted to speak with her about employment. The answer was, “Hell no”.

But Michelle succeeded in getting that “contributor” gig with Fox News and has bounced around a few places (PJ Media, Reason) before ending up at Breitbart. Whether we’re talking about her claiming to be sexually assaulted by Allen West or “roughed up” by the NYPD, the constant remains that Michelle Fields always seems to be the whimpering victim.

What could be the motivation here? You have Michelle, again, on national news describing her maltreatment, her ever-promoting boyfriend who works for the competition, interjecting himself into the story, as the recurring theme is making it about them.

Now that charges have been filed, don’t dismiss the possibility this could also be about….

What is clear is that in the conservative movement, women are not looked upon in a very Christian way, and the women exploit that to their advantage whenever possible, using whatever techniques at their disposal. Michelle Fields, instead of a slip-and-fall, seems to be whatever will get her from Point A to the Point B that continues to keep her at arm’s length, and for good reason.

Michelle Fields is not the first “reporter” to have ever been pushed out of the way during the intensity of an event. She does seem to have a habit of winding up on the floor or ground and making a big deal about it.

Just how many times will lightning strike for Michelle Fields and how many times will conservative men enable her?

Ronald Reagan spent 16 years working for conservative principles. Giving speeches. traveling around the country, raising money for conservative organizations, supporting Barry Goldwater. Doing all those things that advance the conservative movement for decades, before he ran for President.
— Brent Bozell, For America

Oh really…?

Listen to Democrat Ronald Reagan in 1948 and ask me if these conservative spokespersons, utilizing their “standards”, would be singing his praise if Ronald Reagan decided he wanted to run as Republican for president today….

Conservatives, historically have prided themselves on voting on records and voting for candidates who have been loyal to the Constitution and loyal to conservative principles.
— Katie Pavlich, News Editor, Townhall.com

Based on her standard, Pavlich and others would have laughed at Ronald Reagan.

I feel as though a lot of this has turned into popularity over principles….

Donald Trump was a merely “reality star”, Ronald Reagan an actor: both “popular”.

… That’s what conservatism is. It’s principle. I know Donald Trump. I think he is a nice guy. I think he’s got a fantastic family. But that’s not enough to me, anyway, to win over the White House. I want someone who is a great leader and is a staunch conservative and I don’t have to question their authenticity.
— Dana Loesch, The Blaze TV

Who are these conservatives to decide if that “road to Damascus, a transformation” is legit or not, and how long it should be? Are we talking a five-day waiting period, a week, a year? Some of us were previously Democrats and while we may not have been politically active before, does that disqualify us now as conservatives and did we miss something in not sending our applications for admission to the conservative movement to Mark Levin and Dana Loesch?

Ronald Reagan is in receipt of the adoration of those who are either bloviating from ignorance or arrogant deception.

Donald Trump is allowed to convert to conservatism and he doesn’t need to be vetted by those would quickly compromise their conservative values for a sizable donation.
