										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>January 20, 2021 was the finale of a presidential campaign of stark contrasts, an election night with oddities we were told we must ignore, an election result we were told we must accept, a rally that went uncharacteristically awry, and an inauguration day rubbed in our faces.</p>
<p>For over 30 years, most of us knew took for granted there was a voice of calm and reason during times of tumult. All we need do is hear that opening bumper music and his voice and it was like the world events weren&#8217;t as bad as we were told. The liberal world proudly smiled when Rush Limbaugh passed away, and it was probably his Joe Biden, inauguration day broadcast that really set them off.</p>

<p>Not because Rush was willing to acquiesce to Biden supporters with the grace and humility, totally unlike the way the left behaved in January of 2017, but because he rejected their narrative, and singled all out specifically.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Mediaite:</span> <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/radio/rush-limbaugh-melts-down-over-biden-inauguration-they-have-not-legitimately-won-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rush Limbaugh Melts Down Over Biden Inauguration: ‘They Have Not Legitimately Won It!’</a></strong></p>
<p>When you have time, click on the audio link below and reflect on how you felt that day and how Rush, unlike the myriad of conservative talk show host emotional basket case wrists slitters, reduced that feeling of emptiness and replaced it with hopeful defiance. Does this sound like a &#8220;melt down&#8221;&#8230;?</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26518 size-large" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Rush-012021-800x449.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="421" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Rush-012021-800x449.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Rush-012021-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Rush-012021-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Rush-012021.jpg 1061w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></p>

We personally believe Rush Limbaugh didn&#8217;t have to die when he did and how he did.</p>
<p>Rush told us all he was experiencing shortness of breath and upon visiting a doctor was told he had &#8220;<a href="https://www.kshb.com/news/national/rush-limbaugh-says-hes-been-diagnosed-with-advanced-lung-cancer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advanced lung cancer</a>&#8220;. Had he not gone to the doctor that day and subsequently undergone the battery of toxic therapies that obviously didn&#8217;t cure the problem, would he still be here today?</p>
<p>Knowing liberals as we do, is it totally implausible to think a group of doctors wouldn&#8217;t off Rush if they had the opportunity to do so?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">Rush Limbaugh said he underwent a treatment about two weeks ago that showed “some progression of cancer.” Before that, scans had shown “we had stopped the growth,” he said. “It had been reduced, and it had become manageable.” </span><span style="color: #333399;">He said of the “recent progression” of the disease: “It’s not dramatic, but it is the wrong direction.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/20/us/rush-limbaugh-lung-cancer.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times, 10/20/20</a></p>
<p>Rush died 362 days after Joe Biden was inaugurated.</p>
<p>When liberals die, we&#8217;re all instructed to be respectful and put our political differences aside. To the left it was a given those demands were suspended for Rush Limbaugh.</p>

<strong><span style="color: #333399;">Rolling Stone:</span> <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/rush-limbaugh-dead-1129217/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rush Limbaugh, Right-Wing Radio Host Who Trafficked in Bigotry and Cruelty, Dead at 70</a></strong><br />

Why&#8217;d he believe his lie?</a></strong></p>
<p>It was a gut punch for most of us and we understood the literal meaning of the word &#8220;void&#8221;. His 2021 broadcast was probably the one the left hated the most. Rush&#8217;s defiance was a middle finger to the months leading up to the 2020 election, a mocking of the media and their having to push an old fool across the finish line.</p>
<p>The left danced on Rush&#8217;s body before it hit room temperature but his words from that day still has the power to push most liberals towards mental health treatment, and for that we are eternally grateful.</p>
<p>Listen to any Rush Limbaugh podcast online and hear his &#8220;pearls of wisdom&#8221; pushback that&#8217;s valid to this day. You&#8217;ll understand why, especially after the first term of the Trump administration, the left wanted Rush dead once and for all.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are some of us who&#8217;d never assume an audience would want to read personal musings about glimpses of our daily lives.</p>
<p>Let alone three <em>(and counting)</em> publications of such.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Obama-award.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-16735 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Obama-award-150x78.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="78" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Obama-award-150x78.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Obama-award.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Former President Barack Obama touched on fraught issues of politics, race, and public dialogue in excerpts from an interview released today by the</span> <a href="https://youtu.be/_ToUJ0MG_VY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">literary and free expression group PEN America</a><span style="color: #808080;">. In conversation with Pulitzer-winning biographer Ron Chernow, the former president allowed that the racial upheavals of the past year, coupled with generational change, may herald a more bracing and forthright, less cautious treatment of race in the political realm. It comes just days after the president warned that phrases like “defund the police” could risk alienating allies of reform.</span></p>
<p>Then again, most of us aren&#8217;t Barack Obama and have loyal sycophants who&#8217;ll actually buy coffee table dust collectors.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In remarks that will be streamed as part of</span> <a href="https://pen.org/literary-gala/2020-pen-gala/">PEN America’s gala celebration on Tuesday, Dec. 8</a><span style="color: #808080;">, President Obama spoke candidly about the differences between talking about issues of race as an American politician and as a writer. He contrasted discussions of race in the context of “politics and getting votes” with “truth-telling and the prophetic voice.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://pen.org/press-release/obama-baldwin-race-disinformation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pen America, 12/5/20</a></p>
<p>Of course, there are a few things he left out&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bvaBk8I4f-c" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The media wasn&#8217;t fair to him, conservatives weren&#8217;t fair to him, and Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity destroyed his relationships with conservatives.</p>
<p>Any you can experience it all, from his own words&#8230; again.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you consume any American media, the explanation of the Biden surge of votes putting him within a few Electoral College point of the presidency is all a push in invoke visceral partisan emotions. However, an outside observation using basic math skills delivers a whole other reality of what&#8217;s going on behind the closed doors of the ballot counters.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/erfJJti4A1g" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br />
A totally different numerical perspective we&#8217;re not hearing from almost any in the American media; a perspective that would definately have Biden supporters on the justifiable defensive. And the only reason why it&#8217;s taking so long to count votes is clear&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Rush-110520.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15818 size-medium" title="Rush Limbaugh, 11/5/20" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Rush-110520-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Rush-110520-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Rush-110520.jpg 640w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Dancing with the Stars can count 130 million votes in five minutes, and so can some of these other little entertainment TV shows, and we can too. This country can figure out who won an election on the day of the election. We’re just not doing it. We’re not doing it because there’s a political party that knew they were gonna lose on Election Day, and so they’re trying to reverse that. </span><span style="color: #808080;">I’ll tell you, folks, these voting scandals are exploding. I know you can go to any one of these states — Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan — and say it’s worse there than anywhere. It’s bad in Wisconsin; it’s bad in (sigh) a lot of these places. They’re stealing it. </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">We’re watching an election be stolen.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2020/11/05/youve-got-to-keep-the-faith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rush Limbaugh, 11/5/20</a></p>
<p>Election 2020 is the pièce de résistance to five years of slanders, smears, political and illegal obstruction, treasonous behavior and more to the Trump presidency. Four more years for Donald Trump could result in the near-total upheaval of the Deep State and all those who provided them logistical cover. Corrupt Democrats could be frogmarched in a way that would make Roger Stone and Michael Flynn smile. Hundreds of thousands of partisan deadbeat federal employees and contractors could be purged from the taxpayer gravy train. The media liars could face four more years of unwelcome pushback. The courts could continue to be reverted to Constitutionalists, not activists.</p>
<p>Our media will repeat how much Joe Biden is loved and supported by the majority of Americans. Any foreign leader who will mean with him knows he&#8217;s a joke who&#8217;s only there because of Third World flavored fraud covered up by a complicit media.</p>
<p>The coup finality is easily explained with basic math which is why our media isn&#8217;t touching it.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-13656" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-500x500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-500x500.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>Much time was spent trying to verify if the &#8220;deleted&#8221; Tweet by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was indeed something she authored. We couldn&#8217;t prove beyond a reasonable doubt if she Tweeted it or not but hours after screenshots began circulating around social media, @AOC addressed the Tweet in question.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-Tweet.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-13663" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-Tweet-500x492.png" alt="" width="400" height="394" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-Tweet-500x492.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-Tweet-150x148.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-Tweet-100x100.png 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/AOC-Tweet.png 572w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a></p>
<p>Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has made numerous problematic comments during her short tenure on Capitol Hill, has hundreds of thousands of adoring social media followers and we all know they will cover for Democrats and stifle conservatives on their various platforms. And as far as taking politicians at their word just because they&#8217;re politicians, let&#8217;s not forget the cover <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/09/15/federal-politicians-can-legally-constitutionally-slander-anyone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the Constitution grants them</a>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The <strong>Senators and Representatives shall in all Cases</strong>, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, <strong>be privileged from Arrest </strong>during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and <strong>for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">— </span><span style="color: #ff0000;">United States Constitution (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1)</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rush-limbaugh-medal-tarnished/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-13666 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Snopes-Limbaugh-150x127.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="127" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Snopes-Limbaugh-150x127.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Snopes-Limbaugh.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>In other words, as long as they&#8217;re on the clock, politicians can say anything without fear of legal ramifications and it&#8217;s not like AOC hasn&#8217;t said questionable things before. But as long as Democrats have social media and other so-called fact checkers covering for them. The same &#8220;independent fact-checkers&#8221; who look the other way when <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2020/02/09/liberals-share-racist-limbaugh-medal-of-freedom-quote-from-the-onion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">mistruths are widely and gleefully shared</a> about Republicans.</p>
<p>Facebook is one of them and the AOC meme we posted caught the attention of their &#8220;independent fact-checkers&#8221;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/FB-fact-check.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-13668 size-full" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/FB-fact-check.jpg" alt="" width="479" height="743" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/FB-fact-check.jpg 479w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/FB-fact-check-97x150.jpg 97w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px" /></a></p>
<p>One should rightly ask why this particular &#8220;deleted Tweet&#8221; is garnering so much attention from social media &#8220;fact checkers&#8221;? It seems like a bit of overreach considering the millions of posts of questionable content shared on a daily basis. AOC claims she didn&#8217;t Tweet it but she also DIDN&#8217;T denounce the sentiment as something she doesn&#8217;t agree with and/or it wasn&#8217;t a directive she heard from higher-up Democrats on the Hill.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">The content of the &#8220;deleted Tweet&#8221; is really the issue</span></h2>
<p>If keeping businesses closed and putting people out of work is acceptable, communications between Capitol Hill and the states were made directing them to keep their economies squelched just to damage the economy prior to a presidential election, that would be a huge admission with major ramifications for those participating. And those who are doing overtime &#8220;fact-checking&#8221; and covering for AOC include those who are outspoken in their partisanship and have the means to act on it.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.projectveritas.com/news/facebook-content-moderator-if-someone-is-wearing-a-maga-hat-i-am-going-to/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-13664 size-large" title="&quot;Facebook Content Moderator: ‘If Someone is Wearing a MAGA Hat, I Am Going to Delete Them for Terrorism’&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Project-Veritas-Facebook-500x284.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="284" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Project-Veritas-Facebook-500x284.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Project-Veritas-Facebook-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Project-Veritas-Facebook-768x437.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Project-Veritas-Facebook.jpg 957w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>So, for the time being, we&#8217;ll leave our meme up and stand by our instincts for three simple reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ol>
<li><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Harry-Reid.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-2306 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Harry-Reid-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Harry-Reid-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Harry-Reid.jpg 480w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>The First Amendment</li>
<li>Politicians can say ANYTHING they want and are Constitutionally protected</li>
<li>So-called &#8220;fact-checkers&#8221; are hand-picked partisans</li>
<li>IF the Tweet was a reflection of actual Democrat strategy, this could be explosive</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The overreaction from the left is telling. They&#8217;re squelching the inconvenient message in the name of the messenger.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Donald-Trump-ear.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-73 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Donald-Trump-ear-150x87.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="87" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Donald-Trump-ear-150x87.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Donald-Trump-ear-768x445.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Donald-Trump-ear-500x290.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Donald-Trump-ear.jpg 940w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>The economy was President Trump&#8217;s reelection ace in the hole. Thanks to COVID-19, the economy was seriously damaged and the political actions resulted in many long-established brands permanently closed, millions of employees losing their jobs, all while the political class made sure they were financially untouched. Punishing Americans so Democrats can win an election is not beyond something they&#8217;d be willing and able to carry out.</p>

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 loading="lazy" 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>

<p>We all know there are ramifications to every action and an irresponsible, pro-Democrat media is hoping for any opportunity to steer the 2020 election away from President Trump, no matter how many Americans are freaking out and harmed by their misinformation.</p>

<p>Rush Limbaugh was one of the first ridiculed as he put all things &#8220;pandemic&#8221; in proper perspective.</p>

<p>Give them time, Rush.</p>
<p>While the left got all butthurt after the implication they were stoking a public panic for obvious political reasons, the result of their &#8220;scary&#8221; moved right along and the effects were as hoped.</p>

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 2,000 points, or nearly 8%, based largely on concern over the coronavirus</strong> and oil prices.</span></p>
<p>They had to throw in the &#8220;oil&#8221; thing as veiled cover&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The U.S. death toll rose to 26 and several members of Congress are in self-quarantine after possible exposure. Despite contact with some of those lawmakers in recent days, President Trump has not been tested for the coronavirus, according to his press secretary.</span><br />

<p>After the Mueller Report and impeachment failed, the Democrat left and their meida launched the latest attempt to damage President Trump&#8217;s strongest 2020 election card: the economy. COVID-19 became one of the last rounds in the chamber and Democrats pulled the trigger.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa-coronavirus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twenty-seven coronavirus deaths</a> to-date is tragic but compared to the flu is almost nonexistent.

<p>Meanwhile real business owners, employees, customers, and the general public are going to have feel the real-world ramifications of the panic caused by gleeful Democrats.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Today, it’s too early to determine the long-term impact on supply chains, manufacturing, and the American economy. Given the importance of consumer spending to the American economy, much will depend on the confidence of the American public.</span><br />

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The Trump administration and Republicans on Capitol Hill, meanwhile, are focusing on “targeted” measures such as tax deferments for industries most affected by the outbreak, such as the travel and hospitality sectors.</span><br />

<p>The media creates a panic, the economy reacts and politicians use Americans&#8217; money to pay off those affected by the panic. Normally, those who create a panic are held legally and sometimes financially responsible, but the bomb-throwing media hides behind a First Amendment privilege the Founders may have pulled back had they known just how much journalism would devolve.</p>
<p>Successfully suing a hostile media is not without precedent.</p>

<p>Hopefully those businesses adversely affected by media hysterics will lawyer-up and hold those with the biggest mouths accountable.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">UPDATE</span></h2>
<p>We said this Coronavirus was the equivalent of a bad flu season and it turns out our initial assessment of the media/politician/agency panic was correct. As written above, <em>&#8220;We all know there are ramifications to every action and an irresponsible, pro-Democrat media is hoping for any opportunity to steer the 2020 election away from President Trump, no matter how many Americans are freaking out and harmed by their misinformation.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Fox News finally caught up on June 10, 2020&#8230;.</p>

But instead I have decided to keep my Medal of Freedom and let it stand as a testament to my willingness to tolerate others. I hope my acceptance of it will go some way toward reclaiming this honor from the Martin Luther Kings and Nelson Mandelas of the world.”</strong> At press time, Limbaugh confirmed he felt more confident that the award meant something after learning it had also been given to Henry Kissinger and Strom Thurmond.</span></p>
<p>It didn&#8217;t take long for one the most virulent, left wing forums to share Limbaugh&#8217;s incendiary comments.</p>

<p>Some of the outrage was targeted.</p>

<p>Social media got triggered and Limbaugh&#8217;s quote is being used to justify their hate for what the conservative icon stands for and conservatives in general.</p>

<p>But there&#8217;s one teensie-weensie problem. Rush Limbaugh NEVER said those words and they came from one the Internet&#8217;s most popular parody websites, The Onion <em>(which should have been the first uh-oh) </em>and it&#8217;s amazing how many so-called &#8220;reputable&#8221; news sources has the following post in their news feeds&#8230;.</p>

<p>Even the progressive go-to Snopes couldn&#8217;t bring themselves to call it was it was: false.</p>

<p>Most officers earn respect. However, some demand it.</p>
<p>Most officers observe and respect the rules. However, some believe the rules apply to everyone except themselves.</p>
<p>For example, we have Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman who appeared before the House Intelligence Committee as a witness for the Democrat impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump on November 19, 2019.</p>

Col. Alexander Vindman violated the chain-of-command, embellished his credentials for a House committee for public consumption, betrayed the expectation of security by sharing the contents of an official phone conversation between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, all the while having to be reminded that the President of the United States sets our foreign policy, not unelected government employees and any disagreement Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman may have had with tactics are not subject to immediate redress and action by the president.</p>
<p>And whatever you do, don&#8217;t challenge or criticize Lt. Col. Vindman on the field of battle known as Twitter.</p>

<p>It seems to be a mystery to many that &#8220;Fredo&#8221; is the Italian equivalent of the &#8220;n-word&#8221; to black people, albeit a pitiful comparison.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ChrisCuomoCNN.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5883 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ChrisCuomoCNN-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ChrisCuomoCNN-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ChrisCuomoCNN-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ChrisCuomoCNN.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Cuomo’s reaction is perfectly fine for me. I’m not Italian, so I’m not bothered by the word Fredo, but unless there is another Fredo who was stolen from his homeland, enslaved, beaten, ripped from his children and forced to watch as his wife was raped, then <strong>Fredo is nowhere close to the n-word.</strong> That’s what Cuomo tried to explain during the incident. He literally argued that Fredo is a racist slur akin to calling a black person the n-word.</span></p>

<p>However, Chris Cuomo <em>should</em> be applauded for the clarification because we all thought Fredo was your garden variety referral to the &#8220;dumb&#8221; one in the family.</p>

<p>According to Cuomo, we were all wrong.</p>
<p>But this is yet another example of a media figure who believes HE can call people liars, demean those with whom he disagrees with, and dictate how the American people should conduct our daily lives but when called a name he considers an insult, can go off and his employer is okay with that.</p>

We completely support him.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/mdornic/status/1161089892115288069?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1161089892115288069&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2F50548%2Fcnns-pr-head-responds-cuomo-fredo-meltdown-trump-ryan-saavedra" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Matt Dornic, CNN spokesperson,, 8/13/19</a></p>
<p>Not sure if that encounter would meet the media definition of a verbal attack, but we guess it all depends on who&#8217;s receiving the &#8220;attack&#8221;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">According to the Hollywood Reporter, the video was a </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cnns-chris-cuomo-targeted-by-conservative-prankster-1231070" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">conservative prank</a><span style="color: #808080;"> &#8230;</span></p>
<p>Again note how the media consistently identifies the &#8220;conservative&#8221; but they never seem to get around to labeling anyone liberal. As if the liberal is in the mainstream and the conservative is fringe.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">&#8230; first posted by conservative media personality </span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/meet-brandon-straka-gay-former-liberal-encouraging-others-walkaway-democrats-n902316" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Brandon Straka</a><span style="color: #808080;">. Straka shared the video on his YouTube channel “That’s the Point,&#8221; saying the clip was sent in by a fan. Straka claimed that the man in the video did not know Cuomo’s real name, only that Rush Limbaugh refers to him as “Fredo.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.nj.com/news/2019/08/a-man-called-chris-cuomo-fredo-he-threatened-to-wreck-him-cnn-we-completely-support-him.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NewJersey.com, 8/12/19</a></p>
<p>This from the same media that relishes every &#8220;got&#8217;cha&#8221; moment they can gleefully report on, &#8220;orchestrated&#8221; or not. And like most thinned skinned, they&#8217;re also a prime example of both hypocrisy and selective memory which almost always comes back to bite.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Curtis-Sliwa.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5846 size-thumbnail" title="Curtis Sliwa" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Curtis-Sliwa-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Curtis-Sliwa-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Curtis-Sliwa-400x400.jpg 400w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Curtis-Sliwa-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></span><span style="color: #808080;">Cuomo was interviewed by Curtis Sliwa on his AM 970 radio show in January 2010 about whether his brother Andrew might seek the Democratic nomination for governor. Sliwa said he dubbed the Cuomo family “la Cuomo Nostra.”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“There is a group of people — politicos — who always hint they might run, but not necessarily plunge all the way, and they are members of la Cuomo.”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">“Who am I, then, Fredo?” Cuomo asked in response.</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“Yes, exactly,” Sliwa said.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/08/13/chris-cuomo-once-referred-to-himself-as-fredo-in-radio-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New York Post, 8/13/19</a></p>
<p>So, the lesson of all this is something we already know.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Limbaugh-Fredo.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5858 size-medium" title="Graphic on Rush Limbaugh's site" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Limbaugh-Fredo-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Limbaugh-Fredo-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Limbaugh-Fredo-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Limbaugh-Fredo.jpg 640w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>It’s a fascinating case study. These people can dish it out. They can talk about Donald Trump all day long. They can spread lies. They can slander and libel people left and right. They can spread false conspiracy theories and hoaxes, and they can try to pass them off as real. They can try to overturn the results of an election! They can join a silent coup. They can join in the attempted destruction of anybody who is on the right simply because they don’t agree with them. But, man, they cannot take a single little bit.</span><br />

Chris Cuomo and his overpaid, teleprompter-reading media colleagues can look down on and mock us, destroy our reputations, destroy our livelihoods, and even publicly slander us behind the shield of their First Amendment protection, but please&#8230; leave THEM alone.</p>
<p>They just can&#8217;t take it.</p>
