<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The NYT/CNN/NBC axis flooded the zone every time Robert Mueller scratched his nose. They spent hours and hours deciphering his every sneeze. Actual criminal indictments from Durham of Hillary’s lawyer or FBI operatives — crimes that created Russiagate — barely merit an article.</span><br />

<p>There are many consistencies when it comes to how this whole Durham investigation is playing out. One being that whenever there&#8217;s bad news for a Republican, there&#8217;s always someone who&#8217;ll leak that damaging info to an eager liberal media to disseminate. But when there&#8217;s bad news about a Democrat, nothing is leaked and if it is, it&#8217;s downplayed by the press. Aside from court filings that are public record, there&#8217;s been enough radio silence that the media&#8217;s been able to portray Durham as much ado about nuthin&#8217;&#8230; until now.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15521 size-medium" title="Leslie Stahl, 60 Minutes interview with President Trump" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Lesley-Stahl.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>This is also where the media has itself stuck in the proverbial box where they have to either admit they were played by Hillary Clinton, her campaign and the DNC, or they knew Donald Trump never colluded with the Russians during his 2016 campaign and throughout his term as president. The latter is probably closer to the truth and the world saw how they were all in for the pro-Hillary/Democrat narrative.</p>

The media really can&#8217;t admit they were suckers for Hillary&#8217;s disinformation as that would place an even bigger storm cloud over their already pitiful reputation for impartiality and honesty, but alas, that appears to be the only plea they can cop. As they gaslight the world claiming to be fair and impartial, their only remaining option is to admit to being overpaid, and in some cases, multi-millionaire suckers.</p>

They&#8217;ll claim, despite no evidence ever being found, there was no reason to believe that Hillary Clinton, her campaign, the Obama administration, the FBI, CIA, and federal employees would EVER make up such an elaborate scheme to win a presidential election and once lost, sabotage a presidential administration. They&#8217;ll claim, despite no evidence ever being found, their instincts pointed to a direction that we all now know to be incorrect and as they are human, should be willing to look past this minor blip in judgment.</p>
<p>Why will the media seek such forgiveness? Because it&#8217;s not over.</p>

It stands to reason that players currently under investigation may have passed on slanderous information to members of the media for rapid circulation; information known to be false yet published anyway. It&#8217;s not a crime for a First Amendment-protected journalist to distribute lies, but it sure can put a dent in a resume and public reputation to his or her employer. The chances are pretty small that so many supposedly smart people could have gotten it all so wrong, thus it stands to reason too many were happily all-in on pushing false stories on the Donald Trump they collectively hated. They had no problem amplifying falsehoods that resulted in many people having to lawyer-up and some even seeing the inside of a jail cell.</p>

You know, we all make mistakes and they always remind us that Americans are very forgiving people. They will soon try and demand we forgive them because they&#8217;re all we have when it comes to getting news we can trust.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Appreciate the futility in arguing with the ignorant and/or mentally ill.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/021619-Futility.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Parks, 2/16/19</a></p>
<p>This applies not to just those on social media. You can also apply this to the elected and unelected bureaucrats in local, state, and federal government; specifically those who have direct control over our Constitutionally-protected freedoms. More dangerous are those who have their taxpayer-funded jobs <em>(with no legislative oversight or accountability)</em> for life.</p>
<p>During oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court regarding vaccine mandates in businesses, Justice Sonya Sotomayor showed all just how perilous our freedoms are it this time.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vpkwfl/?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>One would think Sotomayor would be a tad more prepared before opening her &#8220;wise Latina&#8221; mouth.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hume-Tweet.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-20945" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hume-Tweet-800x385.png" alt="" width="560" height="270" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hume-Tweet-800x385.png 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hume-Tweet-150x72.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hume-Tweet-768x370.png 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hume-Tweet.png 1192w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px" /></a><br />
It kinda&#8217; makes you wonder how many SCOTUS decisions were botched due to the arrogant ignorance of some of the justices&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jan/07/sonia-sotomayor/fact-checking-sotomayor-kids-severe-covid-19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-21027" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Sotomayor-Politifact.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="344" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Sotomayor-Politifact.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Sotomayor-Politifact-150x69.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Sotomayor-Politifact-768x352.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a></p>
<p>While millions of Americans are removed from social media and or harassed by the intellectually intolerant because of their views, Sotomayor is allowed to spew clearly incorrect information she probably consumed from MSNBC, NPR, The New York Times, and maybe even Democracy Now! One would think her opinions would be guided by an even-tempered approach, but we also know she&#8217;s also led by a &#8220;wise Latina&#8221; arrogance where what she believes is truth can be used to inflict generational damage to the country.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As usual we must preface this <em>(again)</em> by asking you to imagine the outrage, if not quick dismissal from employment, had anyone at CNN or any other media company implied the possible killing of former President Barack Obama. It would all be about anti-Americanism, racism, whatever could be thrown at the person implying the impossible. Yet, when involving President Donald J. Trump, anything is on the table.</p>

<p>And this is <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/01/19/last-ditch-effort-cnn-fantasizes-trump-inauguration-assassination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NOT the first time</a> CNN has pondered a world without President Trump, that time on The Situation Room.</p>

<p>The president’s comment about “cutting the payroll” was very important.</p>

He would know all about <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/03/06/rogue-deepstate-swamp-employees-full-dissent-mode-potus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">what the Deep State wants</a> and despite the assurances that all of those in the federal government are “patriots” who love their country, it’s clear so-called “Deep State” career employees are also more concerned with their personal ideological preference which would have <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/12/22/career-fed-govt-ga-employee-promotion-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">maintained their generous, “entitled’ incomes</a> and perks that come with them.</p>
<p>If one were to drive around the geographical areas surrounding Washington, D.C., the glaring difference in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore%E2%80%93Washington_metropolitan_area" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">economic development and standard of living</a> would be something 95% of municipalities around the nation could only dream of. The median incomes of those in the federal government far surpass that of those in the private sector and then-candidate Trump’s threat to “drain the swamp” was a direct shot across the bow of government workers and <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2016/03/24/trump-exposed-conservative-republican-whore-class/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">establishment leeches</a> taken very seriously.</p>
<p>As mentioned in many previous posts, the federal government is probably one of the only entities in the United States that publicly acknowledges they have “non-essential” workers, which <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/government-shutdown-80-of-federal-employees-keep-working-2013-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">as of 2013 was estimated</a> to be close to 20%. When Mudd was “joking” that the Deep State wants to “kill this guy”, in reference to the president”, it’s because they wanted Hillary Clinton as president because she would keep the employees fat and happy.</p>
<p><a title="@realJeffreyLord Tweet, 8/10/17" href="https://twitter.com/realJeffreyLord/status/895689103966179330" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-117583 size-medium" title="@realJeffreyLord Tweet, 8/10/17" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/realJeffreyLord-Tweet-150x149.png" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/realJeffreyLord-Tweet-150x149.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/realJeffreyLord-Tweet-100x100.png 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/realJeffreyLord-Tweet-500x498.png 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/realJeffreyLord-Tweet-125x125.png 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/realJeffreyLord-Tweet.png 693w" alt="" width="150" height="149" /></a>Jeffery Lord was <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/10/media/jeffrey-lord-cnn-ties/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">fired from CNN</a> for social media activity he engaged in off air, Tweets that were also <em>(to use Jake Tapper’s explanation to Mudd)</em> a “metaphor” yet CNN employees can joke and produce actual insensitive segments on the death of an incoming Republican president and it’s just business as usual. Whether we’re talking a <a href="https://youtu.be/CGJee8cBxMk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">comedian</a> or a <a href="https://youtu.be/xIj9e6Cd_q8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">play</a>, the painful death of President Trump is clearly a wet dream weighing heavy on the minds of the left, not just because of his politics, but the fact their livelihoods depend on taxpayer money rolling in unfettered.</p>
<p>It was very nice of CNN host Jake Tapper to accept Mudd’s assurance that he didn’t really mean that the “government” wanted to kill the president; an assurance that neither Tapper nor anyone else in the media would accept without a few pounds of flesh had it not been directed at President Trump.</p>
