Not that we justify climbing the walls in protest, but it&#8217;s understandable.</p>
<p>One can understand why they are in fear of the people. We don&#8217;t hold them with the esteem they expect anymore because we have documented good reasons not to believe or trust them.</p>
<h2>1. Incompetence</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/HankJohnson.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22091 size-medium" title="Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA)" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/HankJohnson-150x96.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="96" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/HankJohnson-150x96.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/HankJohnson.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>There are roughly 535 congresspersons and senators on Capitol Hill representing the citizens of the United States. One would think, in a country of 332.5 million people (non including the unknown growing number of illegal aliens), it would be easy to find exceptional citizens to become our elected. But when you can easily find a fifth-grader who&#8217;d never believe putting soldiers on a small Pacific island would <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hank-johnson-worries-guam-could-capsize-after-marine-buildup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">make it tip over</a> or would be astonished by the revelation that <a href="https://www.mrctv.org/blog/must-watch-aoc-shook-see-plants-growing-its-magic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plants come from dirt</a>, yet some of today&#8217;s officeholders really are that stupid and the competency of the elected class can rightfully be called into question.</p>
<h2>2. Blowing Off The People</h2>
<p>Americans are justified to question the motivations of politicians who campaign as those who&#8217;ll represent the sentiments of their constituents while their votes on important pieces of legislation is, in many cases, a total opposite to the will of their people.</p>
<p>The latest example is a vote in the United States Senate&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Senate Democrats failed to secure enough votes Monday to move forward with legislation that would codify Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision giving women a right to an abortion up until viability. In a <strong>48-46</strong> vote, the legislation failed to meet the 60-vote threshold.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/mar/1/senate-republicans-block-democrats-federal-abortio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Times, 3/1/22</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/March4Life22.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22087 size-medium" title="March For Life 2022, Washington, D.C." src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/March4Life22-150x75.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="75" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/March4Life22-150x75.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/March4Life22-480x240.jpg 480w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/March4Life22.jpg 636w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></span>How can slightly less than half of politicians honestly claim to be representing their constituents on a topic while a supermajority of the people clearly disagree with them?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">A survey conducted by You.gov with the pro-life group Americans United for Life found that <strong>66 percent of U.S. adults who identify as pro-choice opposed third-trimester abortions, and 68 percent oppose abortions the day before a baby is born. As expected, the opposition was stronger among all adults surveyed: 79 percent rejected late-term abortion, and 80 percent opposed day-before-birth abortion.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://apnews.com/article/dec1f82c4c630cb97ab7cefc58cf0866" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press, 2/12/19</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Schumer-self-serve.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-7449 size-medium" title="Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY)" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Schumer-self-serve-150x143.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="143" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Schumer-self-serve-150x143.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Schumer-self-serve.jpg 230w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Seeing how a good number of congressmen and senators are documented, functioning morons, the excuse can&#8217;t easily be made that they&#8217;re more informed than their voters. It could be that politicians are primarily introducing and voting on legislation favored by those squeaky wheel-types who contribute generously to their campaigns as we all know money is their primary driving motivation.</p>
<p>Seriously, whom would you trust with an economy? Politicians, some of whom have minimal work experience (if any) in the private sector, or a successful businessman who&#8217;s actually met a payroll? Well, this question can be answered with a clear contrast of results that Americans will have to endure until at least January 2025.</p>
<h2>3. Crooks&#8230;</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s often mused how the elected on Capitol Hill earn around $177k annually but within a few short years emerge as millionaires: a feat more Americans would love to be able to achieve&#8230; legally. There are many reasons but among the top is the legal practice of insider training.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Richard-Blumenthal.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22092 size-medium" title="Sen. Richard Blumenthal's (D-CT)" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Richard-Blumenthal-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Richard-Blumenthal-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Richard-Blumenthal-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Richard-Blumenthal-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Richard-Blumenthal.jpg 736w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) on Monday requested that the Senate Select Committee on Ethics probe Blumenthal&#8217;s sale of Robinhood shares worth up to $2.5 million. Blumenthal, one of the wealthiest members of the Senate, failed to disclose the trades within the 45 days required under federal law, the <em>Washington Free Beacon</em></span> <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/blumenthal-bought-robinhood-shares-as-he-called-for-congress-to-investigate-gamestop-trading-frenzy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a><span style="color: #808080;">.</span><br />

<p> A politician who knows legislation he or she may introduce in two days, can buy or sell affected stock tomorrow which can result in a monetary personal windfall. The practice, which is illegal for private citizens, was publicly <a href="https://rumble.com/vmyn77-stock-act-how-the-dc-elite-get-rich.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exposed in 2011</a>, and was basically blown off by politicians to this day.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Granholm-laughs.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19676 size-medium" title="Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Granholm-laughs-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Granholm-laughs-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Granholm-laughs.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>In a Tuesday</span> <a href="https://65db7681-e755-4cff-abe7-1d9e373df4db.usrfiles.com/ugd/65db76_a8314cb01ad84adfa24eca977fbda5d2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complaint</a><span style="color: #808080;">, The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) called for the inspector general to immediately investigate Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm for potentially violating federal conflict of interest and transparency laws by improperly reporting up to $250,000 in stock transactions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/independent-watchdog-calls-for-investigation-into-energy-secretary-granholms-stock-transactions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News, 2/15/22</a></p>
<p>And we won&#8217;t even get into the escapades of politicians who routinely break federal campaign finance rules only to be cleared by partisan judges, or selling out the nation in favor of well-funded lobbyists, foreign and domestic. Not like it&#8217;s a close-to-the-vest secret.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">&#8220;The best thing money can buy is American officials, because they are the cheapest of the cheapest-costing officials in the world.&#8221;</span><br />

<p>Probably &#8220;cheapest&#8221; because many of our elected are too stupid to know what their positions of influence are really worth <em>(see #1)</em>.</p>
<h2>4. &#8230; and Liars</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s ironic that so many on the Democrat left, to this day, call Donald Trump every iteration of a liar while he&#8217;s also the only elected politician (in recent memory) who actually kept every one of his presidential campaign promises.</p>
<p>Meanwhile certain politicians told lies that had profound monetary ramifications for millions of Americans.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-Lovett.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22097 size-medium" title="President Barack Obama and speechwriter Jon Favreau" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-Lovett-150x98.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="98" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-Lovett-150x98.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-Lovett-768x504.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-Lovett.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Lie of the Year: &#8216;If you like your health care plan, you can keep it&#8217;</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">President Barack Obama said &#8212; many times &#8212; of his landmark new law. </span><span style="color: #808080;">But the promise was impossible to keep. So this fall, as cancellation letters were going out to approximately 4 million Americans, the public realized Obama’s breezy assurances were wrong. A <a href="http://www.people-press.org/2013/12/10/obama-job-rating-regains-some-ground-but-2013-has-taken-a-toll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Pew Research/USA Today poll</u></a> conducted Dec. 3-8 found the percentage of people viewing Obama as &#8220;not trustworthy&#8221; has risen 15 points over the course of the year, from 30 percent to 45 percent.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.politifact.com/article/2013/dec/12/lie-year-if-you-like-your-health-care-plan-keep-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Politifact, 12/12/13</a></p>
<p>The lie, that also resulted in significant increases in health care premiums and deductibles for Americans, <a href="https://rumble.com/vu0y4o-obamas-jons-heartless-millennials.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was admired</a> in the partisan media as politically clever and effective.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Boehner-McConnell.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22107 size-medium" title="Republican leaders Speaker John Boehner and Senator Mitch McConnell" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Boehner-McConnell-150x101.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="101" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Boehner-McConnell-150x101.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Boehner-McConnell-768x518.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Boehner-McConnell-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Boehner-McConnell-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Boehner-McConnell.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>But remember those Republicans who pleaded for Americans to give them the House so they could &#8220;repeal and replace&#8221; that piece of troublesome legislation (while knowing they wouldn&#8217;t have the veto-proof majority to do so). A few years later those same Republicans pleaded with Americans to give them the Senate so they could &#8220;repeal and replace&#8221; the legislation (while knowing they wouldn&#8217;t have the veto-proof majority to do so), and later pleaded with Americans to give them the presidency so they could &#8220;repeal and replace&#8221; the legislation. Once they got all they asked for, they sent a lame &#8220;<a href="https://thenewamerican.com/house-republicans-to-introduce-obamacare-alternative/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alternative</a>&#8221; to the president that neither repealed or really replaced Obamacare.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why very, very few believe anything politicians tell them and that won&#8217;t change anytime soon.</p>
<h2>5. They Remind Us They&#8217;re Special</h2>
<p>More like they arrogantly rub it in our faces.</p>
<p>At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, politicians acted as though they really cared about the health and welfare of the American people. Governors and mayors shutdown their economies, ordering businesses to close and throwing millions into a temporary state of unemployment. But while Americans were reminded &#8220;We&#8217;re all in this together&#8221;, politicians made sure they and their employees&#8217; <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2020/03/24/democrat-candy-speaker-pelosis-covid-19-wish-list-goodie-bag/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">personal taxpayer-funded paychecks</a> would continue to be dispersed uninterrupted to this day.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/No-mask-Fauci.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19776 size-medium" title="Dr. Anthony Fauci at Washington Nationals baseball game" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/No-mask-Fauci-150x98.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="98" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/No-mask-Fauci-150x98.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/No-mask-Fauci.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>And despite the politically-fluctuating &#8220;science&#8221; of masks and the need to wear them inside-and-outdoors, politicians and their friends and family members were <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2021/11/08/maskless-politicians-health-officials-celebs-covid-19-is-about-privilege/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">repeatedly caught breaking the rules</a> they mercilessly mandated on those they claim to serve. Despite the initial outrage, they came up with lame apologies, justification, and rode out the controversy. None of them have lost jobs despite the blatant hypocrisy because they&#8217;re special and want us to know it.</p>
<p>But that also translated to the politically-connected celebrity class who enjoyed special status when it came to the blow off of mask mandates at their award ceremonies, red carpets, and parties. These are the same people who went batshit crazy about the impertinent unvaccinated while enjoying lavish maskless soirées where the masked help needed to keep their germs to themselves.</p>
<p>What seems to have angered the elite most is the fact that they were called out on their hypocrisy. Note how there&#8217;s not been ONE piece of legislation addressing politicians who break the rules they impose on their citizens.</p>
<p>Because they&#8217;re special and they want us all to know it.</p>
<h2>6. Peaceful Protest is Now &#8216;Insurrection&#8217;</h2>
<p>There was a time when the left patted themselves on the back while encouraging taking it to &#8220;the man&#8221;. Protests were considered patriotic free speech.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tea-Party-rally.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17254 size-medium" title="Tea Party" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tea-Party-rally-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tea-Party-rally-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Tea-Party-rally.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>That officially changed in 2009 when Republicans, Democrats and independents took to Washington, D.C. in opposition to Obamacare because they were Taxed Enough Already. The Democrats counted on the media to label protesters as conservatives and the Tea Party became a right wing thorn in their side. The problem was that these weren&#8217;t normal protesters the left was used to: they were always peaceful, never destroyed local areas and businesses, and the rally area was normally left cleaner than when they arrived. In fact, the only time when Tea Party rallies were interrupted by any semblance of violence was when liberal &#8220;counterprotesters&#8221; showed up on the scene.</p>

But 10 years ago, Democrats embraced the </span><a href="https://www.telesurenglish.net/blog/Remembering-the-2011-Wisconsin-Uprising-20150223-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left-wing mob</a><span style="color: #808080;"> that occupied the state Capitol in Madison. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) praised the occupiers for an “impressive show of democracy in action” and tweeted as they assaulted the Capitol that she continued “to stand in solidarity” with the union activists. In other words, Democrats were for occupying capitols before they were against it.</span><br />

<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capitol-rioters.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-21856 size-medium" title="January 6 Capitol Hill riot" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capitol-rioters-150x74.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="74" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capitol-rioters-150x74.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capitol-rioters-480x240.jpg 480w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capitol-rioters-750x375.jpg 750w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capitol-rioters.jpg 760w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>After a previous summer where liberals justified looting and burning cities, resulting in injuries, deaths, and billions in public and private property damage, the Capitol Hill riot was called the &#8220;greatest threat to our democracy&#8221; since 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, who could protest (and why) changed on January 6, 2021. Now, any kind of peaceful dissent is called &#8220;insurrection&#8221;; a violent attempt to overthrow the government. Let&#8217;s not forget parts of the pesky run-on sentence that interferes with politicians having the ability to really come down hard on their petulant dissenters.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or <strong>abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances</strong>.</span></p>
<p>Imagine what the power-tripping elected could do to protesters if it weren&#8217;t for the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.</p>
<p>We could be treated like Canadians!</p>
<h2>7. Politician Self-Preservation</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s no wonder why the disdain for the political class is so high and why (as of this posting) <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/feb/28/ted-deutch-joins-stampede-retiring-house-democrats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">31 Democrats</a> have decided it&#8217;s not worth trying to run for reelection in November 2022. But it&#8217;s not only for the reasons you may think.</p>
<p>Between now and the midterms, politicians have to raise millions of campaign dollars to try and hold their seats. If they lose, it&#8217;s harder to go back to a well-connected donor and get hooked up for a really good paying job they&#8217;re probably unqualified to perform. But if they drop out early, there&#8217;s lots of time to approach those who were helped in the past and cash in without any new reelection solicitations. And if anyone in the media pays attention after the midterm election, we&#8217;ll see that most Democrats who&#8217;ve jumped the Biden ship will land softly because their taxpayer-funded, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/080416/how-congress-retirement-pay-compares-overall-average.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lifelong pension benefit of $139,200</a> just won&#8217;t be enough.</p>
<h2>8. The Enemy</h2>
<p>The political class has declared anyone who opposes them as enemies of democracy.</p>
<p>That includes Americans from parents to veterans. While millions of people illegally cross our southern border for a variety of reasons including possible terror motivations, Democrat politicians have unleashed federal agencies on the petulant who question school boards, vaccine and mask mandates, and veterans who&#8217;ve honorably served our nation and are aghast that their sacrifices to defend the Constitution and those who are supposed to uphold it have been for naught.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Blumenthal.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-8600 size-medium" title="Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Blumenthal-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Blumenthal-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Blumenthal.jpg 480w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Too many, who are quick to send our sons and daughters into conflict, did everything they could to avoid serving themselves. While many point to Donald Trump&#8217;s deferments from service, they conveniently decline to mention the current Commander-in-Chief who obtained more than twice Trump&#8217;s. And we also have those who <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/08/08/sen-richard-blumenthal-last-person-call-anyone-honesty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">either embellished</a> or made up service just to get election props.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>9. Trust (or the lack thereof)</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Trump.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-18009 size-medium" title="Donald Trump" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Trump-150x97.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="97" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Trump-150x97.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Trump.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>It&#8217;s really quite simple.</p>
<p>We can&#8217;t trust the word of most politicians and they know it.<br />
We can&#8217;t trust the legacy media and they know it.<br />
We can&#8217;t trust Big Tech and they know it.<br />
We can&#8217;t trust federal intelligence, law enforcement, health agencies and they know it.</p>
<p>It all comes to a near-total breakdown of trust in many so areas and if that&#8217;s &#8220;anti-government&#8221;, it&#8217;s no one&#8217;s fault but the politicians, media, Big Tech types who&#8217;ve been caught lying and adding insult it injury, they callously inflict pain on those they&#8217;re supposed to be serving and shield themselves from the inconvenient ramifications.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Riot-Gallery.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-21822 size-medium" title="Politicians hide during January 6 riot" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Riot-Gallery-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Riot-Gallery-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Riot-Gallery-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Riot-Gallery-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Riot-Gallery-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Riot-Gallery.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>When the people decide to speak out, they&#8217;re called insurrectionist, a threat to democracy, while making themselves victims who quickly cower in pitiful displays of cowardice. It sucks to experience what their &#8220;defund the police&#8221; policies inflicted on millions of innocent Americans.</p>
<p>The next two elections can&#8217;t come fast enough</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nonprofits are always looking for donors. Nonprofits will exploit events for dollars. This happens on the left and the right. This becomes problematic when a nonprofit exploits and co-opts a movement, declares themselves a &#8220;leader&#8221; of said movement, and proclaims themselves spokespersons for millions.</p>
<p>Most recently, Tea Party Patriots is offering an online &#8220;letter&#8221; that will be <em>sent</em> to President Trump on how and when he should re-open the United States economy after the Coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.teapartypatriots.org/letter-to-president-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-12178 size-full" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/TPP-Trump-let.jpg" alt="" width="880" height="475" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/TPP-Trump-let.jpg 880w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/TPP-Trump-let-150x81.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/TPP-Trump-let-500x270.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/TPP-Trump-let-768x415.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px" /></a><br />
Unlike a lot of petitions that just require the signer submit their email address, the Tea Party Patriots form also requests the signer&#8217;s physical address, phone number and if that signer would like future email updates. There is no direct solicitation for a donation, but that&#8217;s surely to come. What makes the Tea Party Patriots similar to other so-called conservative nonprofits is its being led by someone who portrays herself as a staunch supporter of President Trump.</p>
<p>The problem is that was not always the case&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n_xqMuZbcrU" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>How could conservative leader Jenny Beth Martin, preaching &#8220;consistency&#8221;, ever support someone like Donald Trump after what she said in front of the world in 2016?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AntiTrump-Conservatives.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-364 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AntiTrump-Conservatives-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AntiTrump-Conservatives-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AntiTrump-Conservatives-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AntiTrump-Conservatives-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AntiTrump-Conservatives.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Granted that was a unique election cycle but once the Republican nomination cycle was settled, that whole thing about rallying around out nominee should have gone into traditional effect. But too many unelected &#8220;leaders&#8221; declined to support Donald Trump, in some cases right up until Election Night, but since have declared themselves champions of the president and dictate to us when we need to ramp up that support.</p>
<p>Donald J. Trump has proven to be one of the most conservative presidents in our nation&#8217;s history and has withstood daily political and media attacks that would have sent many of these unelected leaders to a doctor&#8217;s office for stress reduction medication before curling up in a fetal position.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hillary-Clinton.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-12203 size-medium" title="Hillary Clinton" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hillary-Clinton-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hillary-Clinton-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hillary-Clinton-500x334.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hillary-Clinton-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hillary-Clinton-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Hillary-Clinton.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>To date, few if any of our unelected leaders have issued a very public apology for the electoral damage they did to candidate Trump in 2016. Hillary Clinton and her supporters continue to ignorantly assert she really won the election because <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/12/31/2008-democrats-revered-the-electoral-college/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">she won the popular</a> vote by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2,868,686 votes</a>. Imagine how many more votes Donald Trump might have earned had sore-loser, Cruzers sincerely rallied around the nominee instead of continuing to pummel him after the Republican convention formalities just because he didn&#8217;t meet <a href="https://youtu.be/YucxOyULaO8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">their lofty definition</a> of who is a conservative.</p>
<p>More frustrating are those so-called conservatives who did everything they could to derail Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign and were later absorbed into the administration.</p>

The irony of the Tea Party Patriots &#8220;letter&#8221; to President Trump is who they claim to represent.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">We, the undersigned, are job creators and job seekers. We are employers and employees. We are parents and grandparents concerned about the economic impact of this shutdown. We are struggling small business owners; managers who have recently laid off valuable staff or are fearful we may have to lay off our employees. We are innovators and inventors. Above all, we are Americans. And we know America can, and will, survive this economic interruption, with your guidance and leadership.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.teapartypatriots.org/letter-to-president-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tea Party Patriots letter to President Trump</a></p>
<p>Tea Party Patriots is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit.</p>
<p>Nonprofits seldom &#8220;create&#8221; anything physical to sell like &#8220;job creators&#8221;. All they appear to do is utilize one tool God gave them: the mouth. As of their latest available IRS filing, the only &#8220;employees&#8221; they have are a select few and when you look at how much they bring in from donations from hard-working Americans and retirees, how much they pay themselves compared to the bang-for-the-buck, eyebrows should appropriately be raised.</p>
<p>If Jenny Beth Martin wants to borrow the &#8220;trust but verify&#8221; line from President Ronald Reagan, let&#8217;s go there.</p>

Nonprofits need to raise money. We get that.</p>
<p>Opportunism is NOT a &#8220;conservative&#8221; trait and when unelected leaders speak for us and demand our loyalty via donor dollars, they should be consistent when it comes to loyalty.</p>
<p>Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots became a staunch supporter of President Trump despite the disunity she and others fostered through most of 2015 and 2016. She and others still have yet to acknowledge the error of their actions during that historic process, still have the nerve to tell all of us when and how to ramp up support for the president and it always appears to come back to being all about them.</p>

President Trump doesn&#8217;t need to have a stack of letters delivered to the White House for a photo op and we all know that&#8217;s where this is going. One thing that appears to be consistent is Jenny Beth Martin&#8217;s Tea Party Patriots having a well-documented history of NOT putting donor money where their mouths are.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">So far, its super PAC has mustered just $56,000 worth of mailers in Kentucky on Bevin’s behalf — less than half the amount it has paid Martin in consulting fees since July.</span><br />

<p>Nonprofit exploitation of current events will happen, whether we&#8217;re talking the Tea Party Patriots, <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2020/04/03/during-a-deadly-pandemic-moveon-org-fundraises-against-trump-reelection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MoveOn.org</a> or the Red Cross. The difference is most nonprofits don&#8217;t attempt to take credit for things they vehemently opposed, and later fundraise off it. It could be argued that the Tea Party Movement would have evolved to be an even more potent force as it was originally a collection of Republicans, Democrats and independents who were &#8220;taxed enough already&#8221;. When the liberal media labeled the Tea Party as &#8220;conservative&#8221; which was certified after opportunists co-opted that coalition of fed up Americans for their own self interests, conservatives became involuntarily linked with the words and actions of those opportunists.</p>
<p>The United States will recover from this recent challenge. We always do, despite the roadblocks erected by friend and foe.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many times have we had a speculation storm after a mass killer’s name is released, his or her social media accounts are quickly removed leaving the general public at the mercy of the reckless speculation <em>(and/or agendas) </em>of the media?</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-116433" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot-500x281.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Scalise-shot.jpg 1280w" alt="" width="427" height="240" /></a><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="From the Republican baseball shoother's FB page" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hodgkinson-FB-profile-pic.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-116351" title="From the Republican baseball shoother's FB page" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hodgkinson-FB-profile-pic-500x387.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hodgkinson-FB-profile-pic.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Hodgkinson-FB-profile-pic-150x116.jpg 150w" alt="" width="310" height="240" /></a><br />
Obviously a person in custody for such criminality would incur the wrath of the social media anonymous-brave, so it would be proper and understandable if comments were disabled and the “friends” of that person were made invisible, but the public would still be able to go back and piece together possible motivation without the faux-intellectual speculations of the media; at times in gross error to the detriment of the innocent.</p>

Obviously, lawyers would be screaming about the privacy of the accused and who knows, maybe there would be enough within that person’s profile to clarify a true motive.</p>

<p>Is the public’s right to know more important than the perils of media speculation, seeing how they’ve been known to sit on important details that offend their politically correct tendencies?</p>

However, that doesn’t appear to translate down to their base as evidenced by the tired-yet-still-overused “Hey hey, ho ho…” or “This is what democracy looks like!” chants, “Mic check” followed by an idiot with a megaphone telling a progressive mob what to shout in unison.</p>
<p>Liberals don’t like debating because it would require intellectually defending a position without name-calling as a stall tactic, and now that they’re totally out of power and the Trump administration is loosening the noose the left has put around American necks, all they have left is to take to the streets and disrupt wherever possible. The problem is liberals are so intellectually retarded, they even have to be told how to protest with a truly organic concept they had to copy.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a title="@SarahDohl Twitter profile" href="https://twitter.com/SarahDohl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-112292 size-medium" title="@SarahDohl Twitter profile" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/SarahDohl-150x241.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/SarahDohl-150x241.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/SarahDohl.jpg 251w" width="150" height="241" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">About 30 staffers from Congress and not-for-profit groups have created the</span> <a class="u-underline" href="https://www.indivisibleguide.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-link-name="in body link">Indivisible guide</a><span style="color: #808080;">, which offers very specific advice for “resisting the Trump agenda”. “Unless you worked in congress the summer of 2009, you cannot fathom the volume of phone calls <em>(that came in)</em>,” said Sarah Dohl, co-author, spokeswoman for the Indivisible guide and, between 2009 and 2013, a communications staffer for Lloyd Doggett, a Democratic Texas congressman.</span></p>
<p>Aww…</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Office phones would ring with Tea Party-aligned voters complaining from the moment staff arrived at the congressman’s office to well after they left, said Dohl. The office’s voicemail was always full.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/08/indivisible-guide-progressives-tea-party-tactics" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Guardian (UK), 1/8/17</a></p>
<p>At least the Tea Party didn’t disrupt traffic in the streets and/or commit mass acts of vandalism of public and private property… ever. Unlike the left, conservative rallies leave their places of protest cleaner than when they first arrived, never took to the streets with signs saying Barack Obama wasn’t their president, but let’s not get into inconvenient weeds.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you have the time and patience, the following is a video followed by the audiobook of the Indivisible guide created for the reading-challenged amongst the anti-Trump, liberal base.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vvxbti/?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>Like true leftists, they’re using deception to create narratives, busing in protesters, and creating general havoc all because Hillary didn’t know how to count to 270, and was apparently too arrogant and lazy to think she even needed to “fight” for that magic number.</p>
<p>If progressives have to rely on cringe-worthy chants from the 60’s because they’re truly originality-challenged, liberal Democrats will always be at least one step behind which is why they lost the House, the Senate, statehouses across the nation, now the presidency, and no matter how many times they stomp their feet in a collective hissyfit, reality will always be another thing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have YOU received the latest Tea Party Patriots emergency email…?</p>
<p>If so, you’re not alone.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I just got another email from Jenny Beth asking if we have any more funds in the budget that can be directed toward grassroots activities in our targeted states.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">And honestly, I’m pretty stressed out… because the answer is NO.</span></p>
<p>By the way, who elected Jenny Beth Martin leader or “chairwoman” of anything? Just askin’….</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">You see, right now, we’re still $27,986 away from our weekly fundraising goal.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">And if I can’t raise those funds in the next few hours, we’re going to have to start cutting back our grassroots efforts in key states like Iowa, North Carolina, and New Hampshire.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://secure.teapartypatriotscitizensfund.com/supportourgrassroots/HOU3496" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">So I’m asking you to help. Right now. We only have a few hours left to hit this goal, so it’s absolutely imperative that you make an emergency contribution of $5, $10, $25, or whatever you possibly can.</a></p>
<p>Well, if you were to check out the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund on <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C00540898&amp;cycle=2014" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">OpenSecrets</a>, you might walk away scratching your head as to why they would <strong>“have to start cutting back our grassroots efforts”</strong>.</p>

The Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund so far this year has raised <strong>$11,791,142</strong>. But it appears they’ve only spent <strong>$1,254,319</strong> on candidates.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">JennyBeth Martin, the Tea Party Patriots’ chairwoman, oversees all its expenditures, meaning she sets her own $15,000 monthly fee for strategic consulting — payments that have totaled $120,000 since July. She also draws a salary as president of the Tea Party Patriots’ nonprofit arm — getting more than $272,000 in the 2012 fiscal year, according to the group’s</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/apps/g/page/politics/2012-13-tax-filing-by-the-tea-party-patriots/978/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">most recent tax filing</a><span style="color: #808080;">.</span></strong></p>

<p>But again, based on Tea Party Patriots’ panic-laden email appears, they’re running low on cash.</p>
<p>The major parties use terms like “unwinnable” when deciding who to support, regardless of how popular a candidate is with the people. In fact, the Republican Party in particular seems determined to put contributions gathered towards politicians who needed to move on years ago. Tea Party Patriots should be assisting every citizen who sticks his or her neck out to represent a movement that’s been assaulted by the left from Day One, and not act like the establishment party in picking winners and losers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Conservatives are increasingly becoming all we disagree with.</p>
<p>For example, one reason many of us are weaning ourselves off Fox News is, like a lot of so-called conservatives, they cater to a right-leaning audience while behaving another way behind their closed doors.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a title="CNN anchor Don Lemon selfie with CNN anchor Ashleigh Banfield, MSNBC host Ronan Farrow, Fox News anchor Jamie Colby, “Good Morning America” correspondent Amy Robach, and FNC's Shepherd Smith." href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lemon-selfie1.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-92256 size-large" title="CNN anchor Don Lemon selfie with CNN anchor Ashleigh Banfield, MSNBC host Ronan Farrow, Fox News anchor Jamie Colby, “Good Morning America” correspondent Amy Robach, and FNC's Shepherd Smith." src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lemon-selfie1-500x339.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lemon-selfie1-500x339.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lemon-selfie1-150x101.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lemon-selfie1.jpg 700w" alt="Lemon selfie" width="500" height="339" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Flashback: </strong></span><a href="http://www.washingtonblade.com/2014/03/21/closeted-fox-news-anchor-attends-gay-fundraiser/"><strong>Closeted Fox News anchor attends gay fundraiser</strong></a><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">Fox News anchor Shepard Smith on Thursday refused reporters’ requests to ask him about his sexual orientation during a National Lesbian &amp; Gay Journalists Association fundraiser. Blade Editor Kevin Naff outed Smith in 2005 after Smith hit on him in a Manhattan bar. That incident was featured in the documentary film “Outrage;” he recounted the experience earlier this month.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">NLGJA invited Smith as a “special guest” to attend the annual Manhattan fundraiser. He appeared in a selfie with CNN anchors Don Lemon and Ashleigh Banfield, MSNBC host Ronan Farrow, Fox News anchor Jamie Colby, “Good Morning America” correspondent Amy Robach, who emceed the event, and others.</span></p>
<p>And let’s not forget that Fox News is an annual Silver Sponsor for some National Lesbian &amp; Gay Journalists Association events:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">NLGJA is an organization of journalists, media professionals, educators and students</span> <a href="http://www.nlgja.org/about/mission">working from within the news industry</a> <span style="color: #808080;">to foster fair and accurate coverage of LGBT issues.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="NLGJA 2009" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-2009.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-92254" title="NLGJA 2009" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-2009-500x666.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-2009-500x666.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-2009-150x200.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-2009.jpg 600w" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a> <a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Kimberly Guilfoyle, Jamie Colby, and Megyn Kelly" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-Fox-News-women.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-92253" title="Kimberly Guilfoyle, Jamie Colby, and Megyn Kelly" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-Fox-News-women.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-Fox-News-women.jpg 386w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NLGJA-Fox-News-women-150x223.jpg 150w" alt="NLGJA Fox News women" width="201" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Is it “fair and balanced” to make sure any group gets news coverage they deem “accurate”?</p>
<p>Let’s not also forget how much Fox News had dumbed-down their content over the last few years. They may be winning the ratings war but only because their competition is ever harder to digest.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Primary election Mississippi" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Primary-Election-MIss.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-92257 size-medium" title="Primary election Mississippi" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Primary-Election-MIss-150x112.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Primary-Election-MIss-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Primary-Election-MIss-500x375.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Primary-Election-MIss-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Primary-Election-MIss.jpg 534w" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a>Then you have Haley Barbour running <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/robocall-targeting-black-democrats-funded-by-haley-barbour-s-super-pac?cid=rss">one of the most shameful tactics</a> ever deployed against fellow Republicans….</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">It turns out that former Republican Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour’s pro-Cochran Super PAC, Mississippi Conservatives, shelled out $44,000 for an offensive robocall urging black Democrat voters to vote for Thad Cochran in the Republican primary Tuesday.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In the radio spot, the narrator urges listeners to vote for Cochran and laments in part,</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>“By not voting, you are saying ‘take away all of my government programs, such as food stamps, early breakfast and lunch programs, millions of dollars to our black universities’… everything we and our families depend on that comes from Washington will be cut.”</strong></span></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Mitzi Bickers" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Mitzi-Bickers.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-92258 size-medium" title="Mitzi Bickers" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Mitzi-Bickers-150x140.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Mitzi-Bickers-150x140.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Mitzi-Bickers.jpg 300w" alt="" width="150" height="140" /></a>And Senator Cochran has now been tied to an unscrupulous liberal hitwoman….</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The Cochran supporters’ arrangement with Mitzi Bickers is especially notable, given the role of racial politicking generally and of one sketchy robo-call in particular that raised the ire of tea-party voters as the race drew to a close. Near the end of the runoff campaign, a recording came to light — it was first reported by investigative reporter Charles Johnson – of a racially tinged call that urged voters to combat the Tea Party by casting a ballot for Cochran. It accused the Tea Party of <strong>“disrespectful treatment of the country’s first African-American president.”</strong> The Cochran campaign has denied any connection to the call, and Barbour says the call was not from the Mississippi Conservatives PAC or from Bickers. He believes, he says, that Bickers placed two automated calls to African-American households.</span></p>

<p>Of course, while Republicans could be bothered to suck up to us, they have no problem sucking up to those who are the center of problems around the world.</p>

The media reciters claim the Tea Party people are the sole instigators of political hate in America. Let’s leave out the fact that I don’t recall seeing any reports of arrests from disturbances of any kind <em>(except for the one reported arrest of a person who said something to a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and was promptly released)</em>, yet whenever there is a political convention or a meeting of an international monetary body, there are dozens of arrests as progressive and anarchist protesters customarily destroy millions of dollars of public and private property.</p>
<p>But we are to believe <a href="http://mediamatters.org/research/201003250028" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">only the right hates</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-35626"></span>Besides the examples of routine liberal racist hate comments found on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/BlackAndRight" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">YouTube channel</a>, comments if a Congressional Black Caucus member received would result in calls to the FBI, here are just a few samples of violence committed over the recent years by those tolerant, compassionate progressives…</p>
