										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Media pundits lament the possible ramifications of Democrat district attorneys actions against Donald Trump.</p>

It will probably inspire ever more aggressive tit-for-tat investigations of presidential actions in office by future Congresses and by administrations of the opposing party, to the detriment of sound government.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/08/opinion/trump-indictment-cost-danger.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times, 8/8/23</a></p>
<p>A little late for cautionary introspection.</p>
<p>Then again, such a &#8220;tit-for-tat&#8221; would be of concern if Republicans had balls, which obviously is a tall order.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hillary-Clinton.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1955 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hillary-Clinton-150x83.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="83" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hillary-Clinton-150x83.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hillary-Clinton-500x275.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Hillary-Clinton.jpg 618w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Imagine the shit storm that would ensue had a Republican DA indicted Hillary Clinton in 2015 regarding her unprotected server and the deletion of thousands of subpoenaed emails. The Democrats would be screaming about &#8220;election interference&#8221;, the media would be whining about the appearance of partisan lawfare, and her supporters would engage in their tradition of &#8220;mostly peaceful&#8221; protests resulting in hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars in private and public property damage, not to leave out injury and possible deaths.</p>
<p>The most recent indictment of Trump swirls around his audacity to question the results of the 2020 election; an election we&#8217;re all told was on the up-and-up and we must accept it because Democrats say so. Most laughable is that some, demanding we accept election results, are the media sanctimonious; many of them forgiven-and-employed wife beaters, substance abusers, repeat plagiarists, and Lucite block awarded gaslighters. Media persons had no problem cheerleading Democrat efforts to overturn the election victories of Republicans, including those where recounts proved they still won.</p>
<p>If this is the new metric, then all of the following Democrats MUST be indicted and tried for election denial conspiracy and attempting to overturn a certified election. Citing the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act would be a nice touch.</p>

<p>And seeing how the notion of the &#8220;statute of limitations&#8221; would be suggested to shield them from legal unpleasantries, the Constitutionality of such protection would also need be questioned since that phrase appears nowhere in our founding document and articles.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t recall any battle or war ending just because the side on the offensive met little to no resistance. Democrats need to actually suffer the ramifications of their bully tactics and if that means they face possible personal financial devastation because of legal defenses, so be it. If some have to actually do jail time, boo fucking hoo. How does it feel?</p>

They won&#8217;t call off their dogs until those at their top suffer and the only thing stopping that is the fact too many elected Republicans, who could return the favor, are too chicken shit to do so.</p>
<p>We can only pray that one day changes.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been a constant as far back as most of us can remember that Democrats have been playing fast and loose with their variation of the sociopathic mental disorder known as <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/projection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">projection</a>: disparaging others for doing what they knowingly do themselves.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s Democrat Party and their media depend on the cultivated ignorance of their voters to portray Republicans as extremists for daring to look into numerous, blatant irregularities in the 2020 election while demanding the American people accept Democrat victories as legit and final simply because they say so. No denial is tolerated when the Democrat wins.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Loathed and mistrusted&#8221; are not used for mere sensationalism especially when you consider how <a href="https://www.influencewatch.org/person/marc-elias/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marc Elias</a> alone has and continues to play havoc with our election system.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Elias1.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19510 size-medium" title="Marc Elias" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Elias1-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Elias1-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Elias1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Elias1.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe’s campaign has made a late-game push before the election, spending nearly $60,000 on a high-profile attorney known for representing Democrats and masterminding some election-related legal challenges. </span><span style="color: #808080;">Less than a month before the end of McAuliffe’s race against Republican Glenn Youngkin, records show, the Democrat’s campaign spent $53,680 on the services of the Elias Law Group, a new firm started earlier this year by Marc Elias.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Elias’ name has been linked to Democrats running for office for years, as he was previously a partner at the law firm Perkins Coie. That is the same firm that was hired by the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, and it was Elias who was involved in bringing on Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Donald Trump – the research that included Christopher Steele’s dossier.</span><br />

<p>There&#8217;s been a consistent over the last couple decades or so: if the Democrat wins, we know the final results that night. If the Republican wins, the calling of the election is delayed until the Democrats find enough votes to overturn the initial result. It appears this will probably happen in Virginia.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The Democratic Party of Virginia has filed a lawsuit alleging that local branches of the U.S. Postal Service failed to process and deliver election-related material ahead of the gubernatorial election between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin. The </span><a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021-10-22-DPVA-USPS-Complaint-AS-FILED.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a><span style="color: #808080;">, filed Friday, contends that more than 300,000 Virginians are likely to attempt to cast their ballots by mail this cycle, but USPS did not deliver the requested ballots promptly and therefore is threatening to disenfranchise thousands of Virginia voters.</span></p>
<p>Funny how the suit filer knows a specific number.</p>

<p>Think about it: the Founding Fathers didn&#8217;t seek to keep blacks from holding public office, or women or the uneducated or the alcoholic or the heathen or animals or even the mentally challenged. No, there was one group of people the Founders specifically targeted for disqualification from politics.</p>
<p>It was the lawyers.</p>
<p>They attempted to do so Constitutionally.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Founding-Fathers.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19503 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Founding-Fathers-150x113.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Founding-Fathers-150x113.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Founding-Fathers-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Founding-Fathers-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Founding-Fathers.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>In the winter of 1983, archival research expert David Dodge, and former Baltimore police investigator Tom Dunn, discovered the Belfast Library</span><span style="color: #808080;">&#8216;s oldest authentic copy of the Constitution of the United States (printed in 1825). Both men were stunned to see this document included a 13th Amendment that no longer appears on current copies of the Constitution. <strong>Moreover, after studying the Amendment&#8217;s language and historical context, they realized the principle intent of this &#8220;missing&#8221; 13th Amendment was to prohibit lawyers from serving in government.</strong> In June of this year (1991), <strong>Dodge uncovered the evidence that this missing 13th Amendment had indeed been lawfully ratified by the state of Virginia and was therefore an authentic Amendment to the American Constitution. If the evidence is correct and no logical errors have been made, a 13th Amendment restricting lawyers from serving in government was ratified in 1819 and removed from US Constitution during the tumult of the Civil War. Since the Amendment was never lawfully repealed, it is still the Law today.</strong> <strong>The implications are enormous.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/essays/general/the-missing-13th-amendment/titles-of-nobility-and-honor.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Missing 13th Amendment</a></p>
<p>Why would the authors of the Constitution want lawyers as far away from our political system as possible?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19509 size-thumbnail" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo-100x100.png" alt="" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo-100x100.png 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo-150x150.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo-125x125.png 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/International_Bar_Association_logo.png 316w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" />In Colonial America, attorneys trained attorneys but most held no “title of nobility” or “honor”. There was no requirement that one be a lawyer to hold the position of district attorney, attorney general, or judge; a citizen’s “counsel of choice” was not restricted to a lawyer; there were no state or national bar associations. The only organization that certified lawyers was the International Bar Association (IBA), chartered by the King of England, headquartered in London, and closely associated with the international banking system. Lawyers admitted to the IBA received the rank “Esquire” — a “title of nobility”.</span></p>
<p>We DO see a lot of lawyers with &#8220;Esquire&#8221; after their names&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19506 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/esquire-150x186.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="186" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/esquire-150x186.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/esquire.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />“Esquire” was the principle title of nobility which the 13th Amendment sought to prohibit from the United States. Why? Because the loyalty of “Esquire” lawyers was suspect. Bankers and lawyers with an “Esquire” behind their names were agents of the monarchy, members of an organization whose principle purposes were political, not economic, and regarded with the same wariness that some people today reserve for members of the KGB or the CIA.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec9.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Article 1, Sect. 9 of the Constitution</a> <span style="color: #808080;">sought to prohibit the International Bar Association </span></strong><em><span style="color: #808080;">(or any other agency that granted titles of nobility)</span></em><strong><span style="color: #808080;"> from operating in America. But the Constitution neglected to specify a penalty, so the prohibition was ignored, and agents of the monarchy continued to infiltrate and influence the government </span></strong><em><span style="color: #808080;">(as in the Jay Treaty and the US Bank charter incidents)</span></em><strong><span style="color: #808080;">.</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Therefore, a “title of nobility” amendment that specified a penalty </strong>(loss of citizenship)<strong> was proposed in 1789, and again in 1810. The meaning of the amendment is seen in its intent to prohibit persons having titles of nobility and loyalties to foreign governments and bankers from voting, holding public office, or using their skills to subvert the government.</strong></span><br />

Wray, Janet Reno, Mazie Hirono, Dick Durbin, Ed Markey, John Warner, Jennifer Granholm, Jackie Speier, Jerrold Nadler, Adam Schiff, Janet Napolitano, William Weld, Maggie Hassan, Stacey Abrams, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Andrew Yang, Liz Cheney, Lori Lightfoot, Gretchen Whitmer, Rashida Tlaib, Robert Mueller, Hank Johnson, Eric Schneiderman, Richard Blumenthal, Ben Cardin, Steny Hoyer, Cory Booker, Letitia James, Sheldon Whitehouse, Janet Mills&#8230; like roaches, there are a lot of them.</p>
<p><strong>Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution</strong>, in a very forceful way, suggests lawyers shouldn&#8217;t be trusted and would use &#8220;their skills to subvert the government&#8221;. How insightful considering how we currently have lawyers like Marc Elias running around, who caused enough mayhem to not only successfully subvert the Trump Administration with fictions acted upon by government agencies and amplified by a partisan media.</p>
<p>The distraction of the Civil War prevented the intention and ratification of the 13th Amendment, which was quite clear.</p>

<p>Think about how many vague and unnecessary laws wouldn&#8217;t be written if they were authored by non-lawyers. Those that were written would be brief and spelled out in plain English; not today&#8217;s standard legalese that require reams of paper in order to be submitted and a law degree to decipher.</p>
<p>So as election night in Virginia rolls around, it won&#8217;t be like the old days when you could stay up to 10 or 11pm and get the final results. It could be a relatively early night if McAuliffe has a sizable lead and is declared the winner. Even if Glenn Youngkin is winning by as much as 10% or more, he won&#8217;t be declared the winner and McAuliffe won&#8217;t concede. We&#8217;ll be told to wait for ALL the outstanding votes to be counted, no matter where they&#8217;re coming from and who sent them.</p>
<p>And behind it all, again, will be Marc Elias&#8230; a lawyer.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are supposed to be the best anyone could want campaigning for a candidate with less than a week before an election. A nationally-known activist, a former president, current president and vice president&#8230; it should all fall into place nicely.</p>
<p>But we are talking about Democrats in 2021 who have to defend a near total collapse of what the United States was prior to Joe Biden being installed into the presidency. They came to campaign for a Syracuse-born, carpetbagging Clintonista who believes he&#8217;s entitled to a second go as governor of Virginia.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t appear to have gone exactly as planned&#8230;.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As far back as 1999, people started paying attention to the fact that many that supposedly come to Capitol Hill to serve Americans are only there to serve themselves.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/kamala.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15506 size-medium" title="Senator Kamala Harris" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/kamala-150x85.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="85" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/kamala-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/kamala.jpg 659w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><strong>From the time they arrive in Washington, newly elected members of Congress are told they are something special, an elite class. But too many members of both the House and Senate treat their “special place in life and in American history” as a license to steal, living large at taxpayer expense, ignoring laws that apply to ordinary Americans and betraying the trust of the public that put them there.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/69723" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Capitol Hill Blue, &#8220;America&#8217;s Criminal Class&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Of course since they supposedly <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2015/10/16/blowing-off-the-stock-act-how-the-dc-elected-get-rich/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&#8220;police&#8221; themselves</a> and enjoy a partisan media that nurses off the largess, this has conveniently remained under the public radar. It also partially explains why the <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2019/12/26/swamp-six-top-ten-richest-counties-us-near-dc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">counties surrounding the District of Columbia</a> are some of the wealthiest in the nation.</p>
<p>The revelations into the Biden family &#8220;business&#8221; enterprises have also revealed just how that proud tradition continues to this day.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/CEFC.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15504 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/CEFC-150x53.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="53" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/CEFC-150x53.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/CEFC.jpg 575w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a><strong>A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. included former Vice President Joe Biden&#8217;s current running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, among other prominent Democrats</strong>, Fox News has learned. An email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the subject line “Phase one domestic contacts/ projects” and dated May 15, 2017, Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of “key domestic contacts for phase one target projects.”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">It is unclear if any of the Democrats were ever contacted about the “target projects.”</span><br />

<p>We&#8217;ll have to wait until the dogged at the New York Times get on the case.</p>
<p>And who was on <a href="https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2020/10/2017-05-15-12.56-Phase-one-domestic-contacts_projects-Memo-re-key-phase-one-domestic-contacts.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this email</a>? It reads like a mostly prominent-Democrat who&#8217;s who of &#8220;domestic contacts&#8221; for what could&#8217;ve been very lucrative projects in the United States&#8230;.</p>

<p>Had Hillary Clinton been elected president, everything we now know about the partisan corruption of law enforcement and courts would never have been revealed to the American people. With that you can be sure if Joe Biden is elected president, everything we&#8217;re now learning about his family&#8217;s business dealing will go into that dark place where inconvenient truth is hidden from view.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Veterans continue to be fundraising props for liberal nonprofits and those they need to suck up for even more federal grant money, despite the fact that actually achieving their so-called missions would end their need to exist.</p>
<p>In 2016, Virginia Governor <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2018/11/12/cnn-proves-numerous-claims-of-ended-veteran-homelessness-is-a-lie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Terry McAuliffe started the lie</a> that his state &#8220;functionally ended&#8221; veteran homelessness and sadly, President Trump&#8217;s HUD Secretary repeats the expanded version of that lie to this day. Most recently at the National Coalition for Veteran Homelessness &#8220;Annual Conference&#8221; on May 31, 2019 to an audience that looked like they had other things they&#8217;d much rather be doing&#8230;.</p>

<p>It would have been preferred if Secretary Carson consulted with someone like Walter Williams and done an audit of the effectiveness of the nonprofit sector, especially when it comes to homeless veterans. Are they effective or are they essentially making life harder for veterans in order to keep the donor dollars and grant money coming in so those at the nonprofits can continue to live their comfortable lives?</p>

HUD employees who do the &#8220;intake&#8221; with veterans seldom display or act in any sense of urgency. The perception is that most veterans in need of VASH vouchers have drug, alcohol and/or psychological issues but in too many instances, these &#8220;issues&#8221; arise only after dealing with the fat and comfortable government employees and nonprofits who are very good at telling the veteran what they can&#8217;t do after the lengthy intake process and direct them to other entities that also tell them what can&#8217;t be done. Veterans who are fortunate to have received the VASH voucher are then subjected to humiliating &#8220;case management&#8221; that keeps more employed and fed at the veteran&#8217;s expense, seeing how not all veterans are in need of condescending babysitting.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also heard that VASH vouchers not offered to homeless veterans are rolled into the Section 8 program for local dispersal to those deemed most needy and deserving, like immigrants and refugees.</p>

<p>Secretary Carson may only be regurgitating the oft-repeated liberal lie of veteran homelessness being &#8220;functionally ended&#8221; because we all know how employees tend to put the best face on projects for the boss. But until homeless veterans are not looked at as golden goose opportunities to keep career welfare alive in the nonprofit sector in particular, there will be justified need for all the case managers and social workers.</p>
<p>Lastly, a commonly-used justification for the nonprofit and/or VA caseworker class is the slander that too many homeless veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. But it&#8217;s never honestly discussed where the PTSD originated because the truth is inconvenient.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>At the point of separation from the military, 2.4% of all Veterans and 9.3% of subsequently homeless Veterans were diagnosed with PTSD.</strong></span><br />

<p>Dealing with those who promote, promise much and dash hope will do it every time.</p>
<p>A veteran in need will be driven to alcohol, drugs and may even consider suicide because dealing with those who receive taxpayer dollars to care and deliver results don&#8217;t have to.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the media’s ongoing attempt to prove how much better they are than the American people, CNN issued the following “<strong>Do more than just thank a veteran</strong>” in their daily email drop.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-116486 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNN-logo-150x72.png" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNN-logo-150x72.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/CNN-logo.png 400w" alt="" width="150" height="72" /><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/11/us/iyw-veterans-day-help-trnd/index.html?utm_source=CNN+Five+Things&amp;utm_campaign=eba1fa3f4e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_11_11_11_48&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_6da287d761-eba1fa3f4e-93618033" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Help veterans on the streets</a></strong><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">A phone call can also make difference in the life of a veteran who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Call 877-4AID-VET, or 877-424-3838, to connect with help at the VA. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Stand Down program is designed to help homeless veterans “combat” life on the streets. Stand Downs are usually one- to three-day events that provide food, shelter, clothing and health screenings to homeless and unemployed veterans. To find a Stand Down program in your community, contact your local VA hospital.</span></p>
<p>This implies there ARE veterans that don’t have a warm place to call their own, however if you were look at the declarations of states and municipalities <em>(mostly Democrat-run)</em> you would get a far different impression of the plight of too many veterans.</p>
<p>The whole theme of “ending veteran homelessness” was initially a pet project of First Lady Michelle Obama and we all know the priority “pet projects” of the boss’ wife are given, even if the results have to be embellished to keep the wife happy and those involved in good favor.</p>
<p>Opportunist politicians took the cue and announced successes that require a suspension of common sense.</p>

<p>The disingenuous definition of &#8220;ending veteran homelessness&#8221; for the politically callous is sending a homeless veteran to a shelter. If he or she goes to that shelter for a night, that veteran is checked off the &#8220;homeless&#8221; list. This is VERY temporary and too many veterans would rather sleep on the street than go to potentially dangerous homeless shelters.</p>

A growing list of</span> <a href="http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning/veteran_information/mayors_challenge" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">more than 35 communities</a><span style="color: #808080;">, and the entire states of Connecticut, Delaware, and Virginia, have proven that ending veteran homelessness is possible and sustainable.</span><br />

<p>“<strong>Functionally</strong>” and “<strong>effectively</strong>” are political words used to <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2015/11/16/mcauliffes-functionally-no-homeless-vets-in-virginia-lie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dance around reality</a> for political backpats and points.

<p>While the first person whom a veteran reaches out to points to a shelter, what does it say when being on the street is preferable to any homeless shelter a social worker, politician or nonprofit brags about but would NEVER choose to stay in themselves?</p>

<p>Then again Wes Bellamy also has quite the history when it comes to race and thank CNN for quickly letting him put this behind him.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The initial charge of driving on a suspended license and subsequent arrest warrant issued after he did not appear for a March 14 court date both stemmed from misunderstandings surrounding court paperwork, Bellamy said after the hearing.</span><br />

<p>From Senator Robert Byrd to Al Gore, Sr. to William Fulbright to Bill Clinton to Wes Bellamy, it’s more than clear what one can say, do, and get away with if you’re a Democrat.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is President Trump’s birthday. Any coincidence the left would screw this day up for him and others?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/GOP-shooting-Alexandria.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-116369 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/GOP-shooting-Alexandria-150x79.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/GOP-shooting-Alexandria-150x79.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/GOP-shooting-Alexandria-500x262.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/GOP-shooting-Alexandria.jpg 600w" alt="" width="150" height="79" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot Wednesday at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, officials said. His wounds were not believed to be life-threatening. Alexandria police said a suspect in the shooting was in custody.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">CBS News has learned that Scalise was shot in the hip. At least three others were also shot, including the gunman and two Capitol Police officers. President Trump said on Twitter that Scalise “was badly injured but will fully recover.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/alexandria-shooting-multiple-victims-reported/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CBS News, 6/14/17</a></p>
<p>The media is going on and on about how prayers should be issued for the Congressmen, their staffers, the security detail, how unfortunate the political discourse is and how sad a day in America this is.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The man was wearing running clothes, asked Duncan: <strong>“Are those Republicans or Democrats out there practicing?”</strong> Per source familiar.</span><br />

<p>This morning’s shooting was predictable, it’s <strong>all on the #resistance climate elected Democrats created</strong> and I wouldn’t be surprised just how many liberal activists are happy this happened, laments that the shooter was a bad shot, and are hoping for greater accuracy in the future.</p>
<p>Approximately a year ago, the Democrats rigged their primary election so Bernie Sanders would be pushed aside in favor of Hillary Clinton. That made many Democrats very angry, and as has become the pattern going back to their violent infiltration of Trump rallies up to the <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/portland-suspect?utm_term=.aql8A8eMY#.kqxDmDY0J" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">incident in Portland</a>, this morning’s shooter is a Bernie supporter.</p>

<p>Not this time….</p>
<p>Last November, after months of being assured by a constant partisan news/entertainment collective onslaught that Hillary would win the presidency, why she didn’t really lose, all the excuses why she did, all that “Russian collusion”, killing people by not saving the intentionally-flawed Obamacare, the now-antiquated Electoral College, Donald Trump’s tax returns, all that made many Democrats very angry.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">One of my favorite TV shows is “The Rachel Maddow Show” on MSNBC.</span><br />

<p>In a very secretive meeting, George Soros rounded up high-ranking Democrats and met in a D.C. hotel for a conference on how to #Resist President Trump and his agenda; an agenda millions of Americans voted for which made many Democrats very angry.</p>

<p>As former but prominent “leaders” of the party, neither Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, nor Bernie Sanders told their black-masked mobs committing acts of vandalism, stopping traffic, and violently attacking Trump supporters in the streets to stop. The Democrats lost the presidential election and every special election since and that made many Democrats very angry.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">With regard to comparisons to President Obama’s foreign policy decisions, as we’ve heard before, the President fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion.</span><br />

No Republicans got in their face in street opposition to rain on their parade. Democrats had their victory, the media echoed their joy, and they were allowed to enjoy their day if not openly gloat.</p>
<p>Republicans were not allowed to enjoy their election victory.</p>

<p>Fuck that.</p>

I predicted that there could be a violent clash between Democrats and Republicans because the left believes they can do anything they want to reach that “by any means necessary” goal: impeach and replace Donald Trump with a Democrat, then go after Vice President Pence and so damage the Republican brand that even Hillary could win in 2020.</p>
<p>Until then, ramp it up.</p>

<p>Like cowardly college professors who propagandize their captive students and incite them to take to the streets <em>(while they stay safely behind in their campus-provided housing)</em>, Democrat politicians on Capitol Hill have been actively inciting their base to do anything to destroy the duly-elected President Trump, his family, his cabinet, and his support base.</p>

<p>Today’s shooting is a natural progression of all they’ve done since November 9, 2016 and no one with any credibility should let the Democrats off the hook. When they repeatedly told us “elections have consequences” after they won, we now know exactly what that means when they lose.</p>

<p>We dare you to find and send <span style="text-decoration: underline;">one</span> link to a news story about a homeless veteran who was an officer as we’ve done the research and our suspicions have been verified.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Persons who subsequently became homeless were disproportionately among those with the lowest pay</strong> (72% of the homeless came from the 44% that had the lowest pay grades). <strong>This corresponds to substantially reduced adjusted hazard ratios </strong>(AHR)<strong> associated with the higher pay grades.</strong></span><br />

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-113580 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/veteran-officer-150x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/veteran-officer-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/veteran-officer.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/veteran-officer-360x240.jpg 360w" alt="" width="150" height="100" />You very rarely see officers at veteran job fairs because they either get hooked up <em>(within their own fraternity network)</em> with government contractors or have that guaranteed pension coming in that cures most ills.</p>
<p>Think about how differently the approach to veterans issues would be when it comes to employment and housing if the officer class had to deal with government agencies or so-called veteran nonprofits that do more to keep themselves in business than actually give the vet the services they offer in advertisements.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">President Donald Trump had at least 1,987 vacancies within his new administration, most of which did not require Senate confirmation, according to data from tracking service Leadership.</span><br />

From the look of many who currently occupy many jobs within the government, finding qualified applicants shouldn’t be a problem and veterans clearly come with a work ethic far superior to their civilian counterparts. A good-paying JOB alleviates many issues that eventually result in homelessness.</p>
<p>Don’t get us started on <a href="https://youtu.be/16-o3C5wetw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the lies some politicians tell</a> on the backs of veterans when it comes to homelessness, and we won’t even get into the promises given to veterans during campaign season vice the promises kept AFTER the election.</p>
