										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These answers would be totally unacceptable and would also lead to threats of imprisonment if agents of the Department of Justice or Federal Bureau of Investigation asked a citizen questions they either played dumb on or refused to answer.</p>
<p>But when it comes to their possible involvement in the events of January 6th, either they don&#8217;t know or won&#8217;t say&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vpuaaw/?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></p>
<p>Senator Ted Cruz seems to be on a rehabilitation tour after his slanderous comments about the conservative &#8220;violent terror attack&#8221;, but all will be different with these unelected, don&#8217;t-know-nuthin&#8217; law enforcement officials like Matthew Olsen, the assistant attorney general for the National Security Division and Jill Sanborn, the assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch once Republicans run the House and Senate.</p>
<p>Maybe as soon as November.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of her near-daily <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2019/09/06/anti-trump-schizo-alyssa-milano-now-wants-mutual-respect-humility/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">anti-Trump, anti-Republican, anti-gun Twitter tirades</a>, actress Alyssa Milano set her sight of Senator Ted Cruz.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/MilanoTweet.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-7183 size-large" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/MilanoTweet-500x400.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="400" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/MilanoTweet-500x400.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/MilanoTweet-150x120.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/MilanoTweet.jpg 756w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>Had any of us used similar verbiage, the request to meet with a United States senator most probably would&#8217;ve been turned down, but we are talking about the expectations of self-appointed Hollywood royalty who are used to belittling others while getting their way.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Milano-1.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7155" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Milano-1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Milano-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Milano-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Milano-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Milano-1-500x500.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Milano-1-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Milano-1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>So Milano was granted a meeting with Senator Cruz, as she was also slated to be in the District for a summit luncheon with Mayor Muriel Bowser. After all the insults by Milano, she showed up in the senator&#8217;s office&#8230; with two others for support.</p>
<p class="speakable-p-2 p-text" style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">There was even a</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SenatorTedCruz/videos/645853819238579/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-track-label="inline|intext|n/a">Facebook live stream</a><span style="color: #808080;">, as the unlikely pair met on Capitol Hill, along with</span> <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/06/election-results-2018-parkland-fred-guttenberg-cemetery-photo/1911137002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-track-label="inline|intext|n/a">Fred Guttenberg</a><span style="color: #808080;">, whose 14-year-old daughter Jamie was killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the Parkland, Fla., mass shooting. Guttenberg has since become an activist on the issue of gun violence.</span></p>
<p class="p-text" style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Tuesday&#8217;s meeting was also attended Ben Jackson, co-founder of #NoRA, an anti-NRA organization &#8220;inspired by the Parkland shooting,&#8221;</span> <a href="https://noranow.org/values/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-track-label="inline|intext|n/a">according to its website</a><span style="color: #808080;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/09/10/gun-control-alyssa-milano-begs-ted-cruz-to-have-courage-lead/2280243001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">USA Today, 9/10/19</a></p>
<p>The duration of the video that was live streamed came out to around an hour and fifteen minutes, which you can view at your leisure. That is, if you can watch a timid bully who enjoys throwing rocks from a distance have to confront one of her demons less than a yard away. Of the 75 minute video, Milano spoke for roughly ten&#8230;.</p>
<blockquote><p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PW2Qndwz5K8?rel=0" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p></blockquote>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t as epic as billed, in fact it was rather boring because the Twitter shields were down. Now, had this meeting taken place in a bar and the camera was turned on after the second round, this could have been extremely entertaining. Instead, Ted Cruz was restrained while Milano came off as condescending, a tad bossy, and relatively unprepared to have a real policy discussion but that was kind of expected.</p>
<p>After Milano left, she just had to take to Twitter and have the last word&#8230; behind Cruz&#8217; back while again, lecturing us on &#8220;civility&#8221;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">I just left. He was gracious. I’m unsure if it changes anything. But appreciative for the opportunity to bridge the divide with civil, meaningful, discussion.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/Alyssa_Milano/status/1171540889321259008" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">@Alyssa_Milano Tweet, 9/10/19</a></p>
<p>It probably won&#8217;t change much as upon Milano&#8217;s return to Los Angeles, protected by distance, she&#8217;ll take aim at President Trump and his supporters, the NRA, Senate Republicans, and the last thing on her mind will be to bridge the divide with civil, meaningful, discussion.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the political world in the United States over the last three years has been focused on Russian interference in our election; an accusation we most surely wouldn&#8217;t have heard had Hillary Clinton been elected, it appears manipulation of votes has happened on a mass scale and it&#8217;s not a foreign problem.</p>
<p>It appears to be very domestic.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://twitter.com/drrepstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-5003 size-medium" title="Dr. Robert Epstein" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Epstein-1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Epstein-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Epstein-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Epstein-1.jpg 400w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Epstein-1-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><span style="color: #333399;">The idea that Google is subtly pushing masses of voters to the left has the ring of conspiracy, and thus the work of Robert Epstein is warmly embraced by conservative lawmakers — as well as a president — convinced big tech is plotting against them.</span></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">Epstein, a former Psychology Today editor in chief who runs a nonprofit institute in California, calls the phenomenon he has explored the </span><strong><a href="https://www.pnas.org/content/112/33/E4512" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Search Engine Manipulation Effect</a></strong><span style="color: #333399;">. <strong>“These are new forms of manipulation people can’t see,”</strong> he said. <strong>The technologies “can have an enormous impact on voters who are undecided. … People have no awareness the influence is being exerted.”</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">Google dismisses his research as the work of a misguided amateur. Company Chief Executive</span> <a class="Link" href="https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-google-congress-pichai-20181211-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sundar Pichai said at a House Judiciary Committee</a> <span style="color: #333399;">hearing in December that Google had investigated Epstein’s findings and found his methodology flawed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212; </span><a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-google-search-bias-elections-20190322-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Los Angeles Times, 3/24/19</a></p>
<p>Of course they would, but to be fair, Google shouldn&#8217;t be singled out. Facebook and Twitter have similar capabilities and accusations of their abuse of right-leaning users abound.</p>
<p>Judge for yourself if Epstein is this &#8220;misguided amatuer&#8221; or if he&#8217;s hitting too close to home for Big Democrat Tech&#8230;.</p>
<div style="width: 600px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-4999-1" width="600" height="338" poster="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Epstein.jpg" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DontBeGoogle.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DontBeGoogle.mp4">https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DontBeGoogle.mp4</a></video></div>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #333399;">More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history. The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost <strong>2.9 million votes</strong>, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.</span><br />

<p>That &#8220;2.9 million votes&#8221; are within Dr. Epstein&#8217;s &#8220;manipulation&#8221; margin, and in 2018&#8230;</p>
