But again, because she appeared on Fox News, was universally praised on talk radio, certified and promoted by CPAC, that&#8217;s all she needed to use conservatives and pursue her self-serving goals.</p>
<p>The validation was when she came right out and admitted, under oath, she was a Democrat after lying to conservatives that she&#8217;d changed her party registration to Republican months prior.</p>
<p><iframe class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vj7ytu/?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 />
For some reason, this STILL got by our conservative intelligentsia.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Owens-speaking.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3254" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Owens-speaking-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Owens-speaking-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Owens-speaking-500x334.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Owens-speaking-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Owens-speaking-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Owens-speaking.jpg 760w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><strong>Candace Owens is laughing at you and has been for quite awhile.</strong></p>
<p>Not us, but all those we come to for information and so-called &#8220;leadership&#8221;. NO conservative websites questioned her motivations, just as they allowed Stacey Dash to embarrass us nationally and helped Joy Villa walk right into President Trump&#8217;s inner circle.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s sad is too many know how to infiltrate and use conservatives. The biggest problem is that those who have the luxury of disseminating information to conservatives is that they are lazy, and when reasonable doubt is presented, they blow it off. When proven wrong, they they&#8217;re too arrogant to admit it.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Stacey Dash speaks at the MRC Gala, 9/27/14" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Stacy-Dash-MRC-Gala.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-98945 size-medium" title="Stacey Dash speaks at the MRC Gala, 9/27/14" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Stacy-Dash-MRC-Gala-150x84.png" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Stacy-Dash-MRC-Gala-150x84.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Stacy-Dash-MRC-Gala.png 500w" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a>Fox News never apologized for imposing Stacey Dash or Joy Villa on us. Conservative &#8220;leaders&#8221; will act all shocked at Candace Owens&#8217; back stab, but they were warned.</p>
<p>Now, will the &#8220;powers that be&#8221; FINALLY look into and run Charlie Kirk out of the conservative column? We did our research.</p>
<p>Will they&#8230;?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/07/20/mark-levin-mocks-republican-delegates-who-clinched-trump-nomination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mark Levin</a> and the so-called <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/03/24/trump-exposed-conservative-republican-whore-class/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;principled conservative&#8221;</a> leadership would not say anything nice about Donald Trump.

<p>But once Donald Trump was elected president, they&#8217;re the first to tell us why WE must support him.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">For those looking for an in with Trump, White House senior counselor <strong>Kellyanne Conway</strong> is a good bet. The first woman to run a winning presidential campaign, she has proved herself a convincing voice in the President’s ear. Although Conway has become a less frequent presence on cable news, she remains</span> <a href="https://fortune.com/2019/06/14/trump-fire-kellyanne-conway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a tireless defender</a> <span style="color: #808080;">of the administration, never shying away from a fight.</span><br />

<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Conway-Trump.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-8037 size-medium" title="New Yorker illustration by Barry Blitt" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Conway-Trump-119x150.jpg" alt="" width="119" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Conway-Trump-119x150.jpg 119w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Conway-Trump.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 119px) 100vw, 119px" /></a>It wasn&#8217;t always that way&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">During the primaries, Conway had helped run </span><a href="https://www.factcheck.org/2016/03/keep-the-promise/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Keep the Promise</a><span style="color: #808080;">, a Ted Cruz super pac, and that Trump had criticized Cruz’s wife’s appearance. “And yet Conway still goes to work for that man?”</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/17/kellyanne-conways-political-machinations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The New Yorker, 10/17/16</a></p>
<p>Kellyanne Conway was often quite critical of candidate Trump, especially when she could continue to raise personal facetime exposure on #FakeNews television.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Trump-Lewandowski.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-8042 size-medium alignleft" title="Corey Lewandowski and candidate Trump" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Trump-Lewandowski-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Trump-Lewandowski-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Trump-Lewandowski-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Trump-Lewandowski-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Trump-Lewandowski.jpg 912w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Without Corey Lewandowski&#8217;s leadership out of the box, who knows? Conway wasn&#8217;t the starter or middle relief. She inherited a gift: a brilliant candidate who took all the incoming flak from the Democrats and their media, literally did all the legwork and getting the enthusiasm needed was nothing that required the coordination of a campaign manager.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/George-Conway.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-8046 size-medium" title="George Conway" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/George-Conway-113x150.jpg" alt="" width="113" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/George-Conway-113x150.jpg 113w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/George-Conway-500x667.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/George-Conway.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 113px) 100vw, 113px" /></a>Conway is another of those whose convictions can be bought as long as there&#8217;s a professional and monetary benefit. It could be argued that the sentiments of her husband George today were pretty close to hers, that is until she could jump ship to the frontrunner and eventual winner.</p>
<p>Had Donald Trump lost the 2016 election, do you really think Kellyanne Conway would accept blame for the loss or would she pin it on the candidate and those who ran the campaign before her?</p>
<p>Then again, we are talking about those whose principles can be bought so having it both ways comes with the territory.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Without offering any evidence or providing the source of his information, Mr. Trump fired off a series of Twitter messages claiming that Mr. Obama “had my ‘wires tapped.&#8217;” He likened the supposed tapping to “Watergate/Nixon” and “McCarthyism.”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Ben Rhodes, a former top national security aide to Mr. Obama, said in a Twitter message directed at Mr. Trump on Saturday that “no president can order a wiretap” and added, “Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you.”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Mr. Trump was said to be frustrated about the decision by Jeff Sessions, his attorney general, to recuse himself from participating in any investigations of connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mr. Trump has said there were no such connections.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/04/us/politics/trump-obama-tap-phones.html?partner=IFTTT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New York Times, 3/4/17</a></p>
<p>Okay, “no president can order a wiretap” but it stretches credibility that one month before a presidential election, such an action would be taken by an agency without the knowledge of the president and no career government employee would make such a call without it being discouraged from high up the chain.</p>
<p>What IS clear is President Trump is now privy to what’s been going on in the “swamp” and that appears to have made a lot of people on the Hill very nervous.</p>
<p>The media is not outright dismissing President Trump’s claim because it appears an attempt to obtain a FISA <em>(Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978)</em> warrant to tap his campaign was attempted, at least two times.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed to Heat Street that the FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October, giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, <strong>the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses related to the server. The first request, which, sources say, named Trump, was denied back in June, but the second was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October</strong> after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia’s Alfa Bank. While the Times story speaks of metadata, sources suggest that a <strong>FISA warrant was granted to look at the full content of emails and other related documents that may concern US persons</strong>.</span><br />

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In a statement, Kevin Lewis, a spokesperson for Obama, rejected Trump’s assertion.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice,” he said. “As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false,” he added.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/04/trump-accuses-obama-of-wire-tapping-during-general-election.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CNBC, 3/4/17</a></p>
<p>The FBI is NOT a “White House official” and President Obama didn’t have to order surveillance; just be aware and nix the whole thing if he saw it unnecessary.</p>
<p>Chances are, IF such a warrant WAS granted, if there was any nefarious activity gathered we would have heard about it by now. As President Trump has access to much more information than he did as a private citizen, he must have been told and was waiting for the best possible opportunity to send the disruptors loyal to Barack Obama a very clear message.</p>
<p>Let’s hope we don’t soon find that the FISA logs from 2016 have suddenly disappeared or have been deemed “classified”.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>3/5/17 UPDATE</strong></span></h2>
<p>t looks like President Trump’s tree-shaking is worrying some in Obama’s inner circle.</p>

<p>Former Director of Intelligence James Clapper has left a window open of “plausible deniability”, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch has been <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cgq3ww9v_ig" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">commenting on other things</a> while both Lt. Col. Tony Schaffer and Mark Levin have verified our speculation that Obama HAD to have been briefed on the wiretaps.</p>
<blockquote><p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8IE8GF_Oi_s" width="500" height="281" 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></p></blockquote>
<p>Things must be getting a bit thick amongst those within Obama’s tight circle.</p>
<p>What’s laughable is the media’s unison response with the former administration that there’s “no evidence” that President Barack Obama had any knowledge of a Donald Trump wiretap while spending the last few months declaring Russian influence in the presidential election while many in the know have repeatedly said there’s “no evidence” such ever happened.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We say “sincere” because based on their sanctimonious vitriol aimed at Donald Trump and all those who supported him, we have little reason to accept yet another “Because we say so.”</p>
<p>Just last January, unelected conservative “leaders” decided to come out and tell US who we should not support, based on their self-serving definition of what is conservative. As Donald Trump was whittling down the field of Republican candidates, instead of trying to understand his overwhelming appeal to and his expanding the Republican base in ways unseen in the party’s history, a small group of so-called conservatives believed they were right to publicly tear down the frontrunner because he just didn’t meet their qualifications.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vkplsr/?pub=6btuj" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
Seriously, who were THEY to “stop Trump” and deny him the nomination?</p>
<p>NONE of them have ever run for office and take all that comes with it. Instead of sticking their own necks out, it was much easier for them to stick their hands out and suck off a movement none of them created but were eager to personally profit off of.</p>
<p>Many worked behind-the-scenes to plot was to steal the delegates on the run-up to the RNC Convention in Cleveland. They could give a shit about the voices of millions around the country who remained loyal to Donald Trump as he earned more votes than any Republican in our party’s history.</p>
<p>THEY knew better and were very comfortable with nullifying our votes for the sake of party “purity”. Some even threatened to vote for the eventual Democrat nominee as we didn’t get our minds right and take our orders from them.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Dana Loesch, BlazeTV" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-106678 size-medium" title="Dana Loesch, BlazeTV" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV-150x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Dana-Loesch-BlazeTV.jpg 430w" width="150" height="100" /></a>Some openly <a href="https://youtu.be/XKC3FmCR5wo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">talked down to and/or mocked</a> us.</p>
<p>While we can’t say for sure, some of these conservatives did come around after the RNC Convention and Trump’s accepting the party nomination, not because they had that <a href="https://youtu.be/RBMqR0JJkYE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Come to Jesus moment”</a> but because further opposition may have started to hit their all-important donor base and if it’s a case of their “principles” or money, what do you think would win?</p>
<p>Almost every one of the principled conservatives hit Fox News and began defending Donald Trump from the liberal media onslaught, at times feigning faux purity when the left dug deep into the mud. But they assumed Trump supporters were so stupid and forgetful, they could now appear to have had his back all along and it was now their job to remind us as well.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-107233 size-medium" title="The #NeverTrump Shit List" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list-150x77.png" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list-150x77.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list-768x394.png 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list-500x256.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/NeverTrump-shit-list.png 800w" width="150" height="77" />There is a <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/06/25/boycott-all-on-the-nevertrump-shit-list/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">#NeverTrump shit list</a> for a reason and it remains relevant to this day.</p>
<p>If we’re to be fair and are dismissing the liberal media because they colluded with Hillary’s campaign, we should also dismiss the conservative media that also worked against Donald Trump but can now hide behind the convenience of being Republicans.</p>
<p>We all are entitled to our opinions and candidates must make their case to get our votes. But to attempt to rig an outcome behind our backs and now act like they were always one of us…?</p>
<p>This is yet another reason why God gave us middle fingers.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">8/28/20 UPDATE</span></h2>
<p>It took almost four years, but ONE conservative has finally publicly acknowledged and apologized for his public error in judgment.</p>

<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Gaylord Parkinson, California Republican Party Chairman</span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<blockquote><p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gWr8OfjYX7U" width="500" height="281" 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></p></blockquote>
<p>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.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you listen to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/regina.thomson" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Regina Thomson</a>, Colorado Volunteer Coordinator for Ted Cruz’ “suspended” presidential campaign, let’s remember a few facts…</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HiLgxUqAd4A" 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><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span></iframe><br />
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.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="2016 Republican candidates" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/GOP-candidates.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-107323 size-medium" title="2016 Republican candidates" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/GOP-candidates-150x90.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/GOP-candidates-150x90.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/GOP-candidates-500x300.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/GOP-candidates.jpg 620w" width="150" height="90" /></a>While Thompson claims Trump only earned 40% of the Republican primary votes, he did so against a field of <strong>16</strong> other candidates <em>(not one or two, or even four…)</em> which makes that victory percentage all the more impressive.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Republican presidential pledge" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Republican-presidential-pledge.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-107273 size-medium" title="Republican presidential pledge" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Republican-presidential-pledge-150x225.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Republican-presidential-pledge-150x225.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Republican-presidential-pledge-500x750.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Republican-presidential-pledge.jpg 576w" width="150" height="225" /></a>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”.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <em>(who is clearly their pick)</em>, they’ll be the first to demand everyone in the Republican Party rally around their choice because staying home and not voting <em>(which they’ve promised to do if Trump is the nominee)</em> would put Hillary in the White House and we all know who they’ll blame.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="GoFundMe: &quot;Regina's Travel to Cleveland&quot;" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Cruz-Thomson.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-107518 size-medium" title="GoFundMe: &quot;Regina's Travel to Cleveland&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Cruz-Thomson-150x134.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Cruz-Thomson-150x134.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Cruz-Thomson-768x685.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Cruz-Thomson-500x446.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Cruz-Thomson.jpg 1000w" width="150" height="134" /></a>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.</p>
<p>“Conservative principles” will become the joke Cruzers have made it.</p>
<h2><strong><a title="Beau Correll" href="http://www.correllfirm.com/contact-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-107504 size-medium" title="Beau Correll" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Beau-Correll-150x150.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Beau-Correll-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Beau-Correll-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Beau-Correll-500x500.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Beau-Correll-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Beau-Correll.jpg 600w" width="150" height="150" /></a><span style="color: #ff9900;">7/11/16 UPDATE</span></strong></h2>
<p>The #NeverTrumpers have apparently <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/federal-judge-rules-virginia-law-binding-delegates-violates-first-amendment/article/2003243" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cleared one hurdle</a> 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.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">A GOP delegate</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/gabrielmalor/status/752598813265854465" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">has won his lawsuit</a> <span style="color: #808080;">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.&#8217;”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The federal court’s ruling arrived on the heels of</span> <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2016/07/11/dump-trump-leader-we-have-28-votes-on-the-rules-committee-to-force-a-floor-vote-on-unbinding-the-delegates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">anti-Trump delegate Kendal Unruh’s announcement</a> <span style="color: #808080;">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.</span></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Donald Trump" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Trump-dares-Obama.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-107343 size-medium" title="Donald Trump" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Trump-dares-Obama-150x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Trump-dares-Obama-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Trump-dares-Obama-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Trump-dares-Obama-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Trump-dares-Obama.jpg 430w" width="150" height="100" /></a>Then again, it all depends on who you listen to because another aspect of the suit addressed a different perceived result.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">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.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">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)</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">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)</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/posts/10157294436575725" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donald Trump Facebook post, 7/11/16</a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Either way, should these people succeed in nullifying the millions of people who voted for Donald Trump, they will be very publicly shunned.</p>

<strong>6/25/16</strong> — The #NeverTrump forces are proceeding full speed ahead with their scorched-earth attempt to unbind the delegates Donald Trump earned by winning the Republican primary process with historic popular vote numbers.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Appeal to GOP delegates: Please save your party from Trump — you still can</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">What Republican leadership failed to understand was that this voting bloc wasn’t stupid enough to not notice that the GOP was selling them a bill of goods it had no plan to actually deliver. The Supreme Court, Executive Branch and Democratic Party were never going to allow the United States to roll backwards into the outright legal bigotry of the early 1900s.

<p>These same anti-Trump delegates were perfectly happy with <strong>popular votes when it came to them getting elected</strong>, and should they succeed in stealing the bound delegates from Trump in Cleveland, these so-called (ex)”principled conservatives” will demand voters “unite” behind the candidate they select and then threaten to blame Trump supporters if Hillary becomes the next president because they sat out the election <em>(as hypocritical pro-Cruz “conservatives” threatened)</em>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years, conservatives have railed against the intolerant left’s tendencies to dismiss and ridicule those who had the nerve to disagree with them. For years, conservatives have shown liberals to be without standards except the double ones, and now so-called conservatives have become what they’ve made money decrying.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Trump in Arizona" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Trump-in-Arizona.jpg" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-106088 noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-106088 size-medium" title="Trump in Arizona" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Trump-in-Arizona-150x84.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Trump-in-Arizona-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Trump-in-Arizona-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Trump-in-Arizona-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Trump-in-Arizona.jpg 800w" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a>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.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Campaign Leeches</strong></span></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="TAMPA, FL - AUGUST 30: Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Republican vice presidential candidate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) pose with campaign staffers for a photo during the final day of the Republican National Convention at the Tampa Bay Times Forum on August 30, 2012 in Tampa, Florida.

What would we be saying about the dedication and loyalty to the fans if players on the losing teams started <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/jeb-bush-staffers-campaign-jobs-219518" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sending their resumes</a> 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.</p>
<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p><strong>That is, except on the Trump campaign.</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>And that brings us to…</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Conservative Media ‘Leaders’</strong></span></h2>
<p>We have all these so-called “conservative” leaders who no one elected, have never run for a political office <em>(thus really sticking their necks out)</em>, defining conservatism as they so deem, and anyone who dares not follow their lead will incur their wrath, for all that’s really worth.</p>
<p>So, who the hell are THEY?</p>

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?</p>
<p><em>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.</em></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Oprah talks about President-elect Barack Obama" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama.jpg" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-106111 noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-106111 size-medium" title="Oprah talks about President-elect Barack Obama" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama-150x103.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama-150x103.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama-500x343.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Oprah-talks-about-President-elect-Barack-Obama.jpg 600w" alt="" width="150" height="103" /></a>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 .</p>
<p>I believe Rush Limbaugh remembers, which is why he’s observing the competition and not favoring one opponent over another.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>They Believe They’re Immune From Backlash</strong></span></h2>
<p>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 <a href="https://blackandblondemedia.com/2016/02/10/if-reagan-could-convert-to-conservatism-why-not-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">rewriting the creds of Ronald Reagan</a>, hoping his listeners won’t know they’re being played.</p>

<p>The unelected “conservative” leaders are as intolerant as black Democrats who banish family members who <em>(oh, Lawd)</em> 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.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Senator Ted Cruz with Glenn Beck in Ankeny, Iowa" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck.jpg" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-106115 noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-106115 size-medium" title="Senator Ted Cruz with Glenn Beck in Ankeny, Iowa" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-150x101.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-150x101.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-500x338.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Cruz-and-Beck.jpg 592w" alt="" width="150" height="101" /></a>The presidential campaign of Donald Trump has turned the sunlight on the process. Not only are we witnessing the attempt by the Republican Party <em>(and their has-beens)</em> to nullify the will of the people, we are seeing the political whore class exposed for the disloyal, money grubbers they are.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <em>(or lack their of)</em> is being revealed to the world.</p>
<p>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.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In listening to “so-called” leaders who claim to be arbiters of what is conservative is almost laughable when it comes to accepting Donald Trump as someone THEY could rally around should he become the Republican nominee.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>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.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Brent Bozell, For America</span></p>
<p>Oh really…?</p>
<p>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….</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>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.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Katie Pavlich, News Editor, Townhall.com</span></p>

<p>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.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On numerous occasions, we’ve dared show examples of mistakes and even worse, poor judgment when it comes to the Fox News Channel personnel. While the assertion could be made that the world is a slightly better place because of their presence, the responses we received whenever criticizing Fox News was, in some cases, nothing short of insulting a deity.</p>
<p>But what’s even more revealing is their total lack of humility in the aftermath of the first major GOP debate. While they may say otherwise, we’ll stick our necks out in saying Fox News and Republicans might have maybe enjoyed a quarter of the record <a href="http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/fox-news-has-most-watched-primary-debate-ever-24-million-tune-in/269157" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">24 million viewers</a> if not for the interest brought by candidate Donald Trump.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Trump and the &quot;pledge&quot;" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-101925 size-medium" title="Trump and the &quot;pledge&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-150x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Trump-pledge.jpg 600w" alt="" width="150" height="100" /></a>That said, he was clearly set up from the beginning. While NO ONE we’ve seen or heard has yet to mention those <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2015/08/04/trumps-justified-independent-threat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“GOP donors and operatives”</a> and their possible collusion with certain Republican candidates against Trump, Fox News clearly went out of their way to play a couple of “got’chas” on the front runner. There’s one thing Fox News still hasn’t understood to this day: the debates were about the people getting an opportunity to hear candidates discuss the important issues, not about Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly or Bret Baier.</p>
<p>And as far as the malfeasance of the debate itself, Mark Levin offers some insight you’ll NEVER hear the narcissists at Fox News address, and with good reason….</p>
<blockquote><p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kNdhe09HVO8" width="500" height="281" 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></p></blockquote>
<p>Despite how many people still love and blindly support Fox News, if Megyn Kelly wants to direct a question about misogyny to Trump with any credibility, she should have previously taken FNC to task for the ease at which some could be reduced to the “boob joke” <a href="https://youtu.be/bDXWzlZ1SsE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">juvenile</a>, and even her willing participation in the glass desk, leg-shot exploitation of the female body for ratings…</p>

Especially with all that’s happened to people with pizza and wedding cake shops who expressed religious beliefs as a reason not to serve to gays, millions of Christian conservatives <strong>still don’t know</strong> of Fox News’ sponsorship of the <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2013/08/23/fnc-joining-in-to-make-sure-all-lgbt-news-is-good/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Lesbian &amp; Gay Journalists Association</a> in making sure any news about gays is good. Ever hear them mention that; you know, full disclosure?</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Megyn Kelly, GQ" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Megyn-Kelly-GQ.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-48245 size-medium" title="Megyn Kelly, GQ" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Megyn-Kelly-GQ-150x243.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Megyn-Kelly-GQ-150x243.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Megyn-Kelly-GQ.jpg 296w" alt="" width="150" height="243" /></a>And while everyone’s now in full-dig mode, some things Megyn Kelly’s said in HER past may prove <a href="http://shoebat.com/2015/08/08/an-old-recording-of-megyn-kelly-talking-about-penises-breasts-and-how-she-has-sex-proves-trump-was-right-kelly-is-absolute-trash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donald Trump was right about her</a> all along and she’d say almost anything for attention.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Shoebat.com found a </span><a href="https://youtu.be/lsb-5dIqEBw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">five year old interview of Meghan Kelly</a><span style="color: #808080;"> when she was climbing up the ladder not minding to get on the Howard Stern Show to gain fame while allowing Stern to discuss with her every sort of smut including her private sex live which is supposed to be sacred. She laughs and is okay with Stern discussing penises, breasts, in a very trashy nonchalant way.</span></p>
<p>Whoops. And isn’t it amazing that just five years ago, no one could’ve cared less what a Megyn Kelly was?</p>
<p>We know of many people on the right who’s main goal is to do anything that would get them on Fox News, and once there the arrogance gets thick. Whether it’s the righteous rantings of O’Reilly, liberal Krauthammer <em>(who seemingly uses his wheelchair to deflect any criticism)</em>, Rivera, Smith, Kelly, Kilmeade, Bolling, Powers, Tantaros, or Guilfoyle, there are less than a handful in that whole organization that appears to have any humility, which is a very important component in delivering “fair and balanced” news coverage.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Erick Erickson" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erick-Erickson.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-101939 size-medium" title="Erick Erickson" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erick-Erickson-150x81.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erick-Erickson-150x81.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erick-Erickson-500x269.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erick-Erickson.jpg 600w" alt="" width="150" height="81" /></a>And now, in what must be the “suck-up of the year” and to the further delight of the liberal media, instead of asking Trump to clarify his <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/08/politics/donald-trump-cnn-megyn-kelly-comment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">latest comments on Megyn Kelly</a> either before or during the next debate, Erick Erickson of RedState, <a href="http://www.redstate.com/2015/08/07/i-have-disinvited-donald-trump-to-the-redstate-gathering/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">decided to “disinvite” Donald Trump</a> from his event….</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I have invited Megyn Kelly to attend in Donald Trump’s place tomorrow night.</span></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Kelly and Erickson" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-101956 size-medium" title="Kelly and Erickson" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson-150x87.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson-150x87.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson-500x290.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Kelly-and-Erickson.jpg 525w" alt="" width="150" height="87" /></a>… which is quite ironic as <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/megyn-kelly-dominates-on-fox" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kelly once went off on Erickson</a> about HIS sexist remarks.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I was offended by the piece nonetheless. I didn’t like what you wrote one bit, and I do think you are judging people. To me, you sound like somebody who’s judging but wants to come out and say, “I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, now let me judge, judge, judge. And, by the way, it’s science, science, science, it’s fact, fact, fact, fact, fact.” Well, I mean, I have a whole — this is a list of studies saying your science is wrong and your facts are wrong.</span></p>
<p>Because of the backlash, he’s also now trying to <a href="http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2015/08/08/brody-file-exclusive-erick-erickson-getting-angry-emails-from-trump.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">play the victim</a> because his own words are <a href="http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/258916/sexist-erick-erickson-scolds-trump-for-sexist-comments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">coming back to haunt</a> and like Fox News digging deep to find dirt on Trump, all sides are now going way back into the musings of Erick and it didn’t take long for the left to strike gold.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Erickson’s past comments include referring to Michelle Obama as a “Marxist harpy wife,” and claiming that pro-choice women were “feminazis…too ugly to get a date.” Actually, Media Matters has a</span> <a href="http://mediamatters.org/research/2015/08/04/gop-2016-contenders-are-courting-erick-erickson/204736#other" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pretty incredible rundown</a> <span style="color: #808080;">of a lot of the sexist, homophobic, and just generally awful things Erickson has said in the past.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a title="@EWErickson Tweet" href="https://twitter.com/EWErickson/status/1665525087"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-101944 size-large" title="@EWErickson Tweet" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erickson-Tweet-500x210.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erickson-Tweet-500x210.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erickson-Tweet-150x63.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Erickson-Tweet.jpg 556w" alt="" width="500" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>And after only 257 comments, Erickson’s even closed the comments to his <a href="http://www.redstate.com/2015/08/07/i-have-disinvited-donald-trump-to-the-redstate-gathering/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“disinvite”</a> post.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="RS Erickson post closed" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/RS-Erickson-post-closed.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-101952 size-large" title="RS Erickson post closed" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/RS-Erickson-post-closed-500x293.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/RS-Erickson-post-closed-500x293.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/RS-Erickson-post-closed-150x88.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/RS-Erickson-post-closed.jpg 694w" alt="" width="500" height="293" /></a></p>
<p>“Babysit”…? Pretty arrogant, but that fits right in with the theme of our post.</p>
<p>As Erickson is a “Fox News contributor”, he probably gambled the channel might have his back on this if he sucked up enough. THIS is exactly what the “GOP donors and operatives” wanted. They just needed time to find useful idiots.</p>

<p>Despite the blatant attempt to damage Trump, we’re once again reminded that our media attempts to be the ones who select our candidates, thus our leaders. The question need be repeatedly asked, who do they think THEY are?</p>
