										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Depending on what search engine you use and/or how you consume news, you&#8217;d probably be echoing the sentiment that gasoline prices were pretty low until Vladimir Putin decided to invade Ukraine and BOOM! Even though most people who actually put gas in their tanks noticed a jump in price almost immediately after Joe Biden put his hand on the Bible and assumed the presidency. In fact, one the few places that doesn&#8217;t declare rising gas prices are Putin&#8217;s fault is the same news outlet that published that fraudulent, and appropriately censored piece of misinformation about Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Gasoline prices climbed 48.3% between Biden’s inauguration and Putin’s invasion. This week’s average gallon of regular hit a record $4.31, up 81% under Biden.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/03/18/president-biden-is-at-fault-for-high-gas-prices-not-putin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post, 3/18/22</a></p>
<p>It was Wanda Sykes who during a stand-up said, &#8220;You got to stick with your lie&#8221; and those within the Biden administration are stuck on script.</p>
<p><iframe class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v12ux45/?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>A benefit of an intellectually dishonest, partisan media, is you can lie and the so-called government watchdogs have your back.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ABCnews-040922-poll.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-23198" title="ABC News/Ipsos poll" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ABCnews-040922-poll.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="394" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ABCnews-040922-poll.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ABCnews-040922-poll-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ABCnews-040922-poll-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
<p>The Biden administration, and the left in general, assumes the public is stupid thus they can say anything they want and you&#8217;ll believe it. Aside from the fact they include their liberal base into the mass of stoopids, Americans with actual functioning eyes and have the ability to remember how things were prior to January 20, 2017 know that we&#8217;re being dealt a heaping tablespoon of bullshit on an almost daily basis.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22696 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Biden-I-did-that-150x142.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="142" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Biden-I-did-that-150x142.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Biden-I-did-that.jpg 717w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />Both parties clearly recognize that <strong>Democrats’ chances of survival in the midterm elections could come down to whether Americans blame Biden or Russian President Vladimir Putin for skyrocketing prices at the pump</strong>.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://rollcall.com/2022/03/09/voters-will-decide-whether-biden-or-putin-gets-blame-on-gas-prices/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roll Call, 3/9/22</a></p>
<p>The truth may come out ONLY after a midterm Democrat &#8220;shellacking&#8221; forced introspection where just maybe they shouldn&#8217;t have played so fast and loose with dishonesty.  Until then, enjoy having your intelligence insulted on a daily basis (meaning are Democrats are least affected).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It took one obscure Tweet from a government agency to freak out millions&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/SSS_gov/status/1506677659182551040" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-22804" title="@SSS_gov Tweet" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/SSS-800x838.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="419" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/SSS-800x838.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/SSS-150x157.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/SSS-768x805.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/SSS.jpg 903w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a><br />
It&#8217;s not clear what inspired the folks at the Selective Service agency to put out this Tweet, but they know the left well.</p>
<p>Given how we&#8217;ve seen how willing they are to disrupt, loot, vandalize and burn down property, not to leave out create social disorder, it&#8217;s not surprising that the liberals value themselves over all else.</p>
<p>Including their country.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Run-away.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22822 size-medium" title="Monty Python and the Holy Grail - &quot;Run away!&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Run-away-150x90.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="90" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Run-away-150x90.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Run-away-800x479.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Run-away-768x460.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Run-away.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>As the world witnesses what is happening to Ukraine, Americans were asked what they would do if they were in the same position as Ukrainians are now: stay and fight or leave the country? <strong>A majority (55 percent) say they would stay and fight</strong>, while 38 percent say they would leave the country. <strong>Republicans say 68 &#8211; 25 percent and independents say 57 &#8211; 36 percent they would stay and fight, while Democrats say 52 &#8211; 40 percent they would leave the country.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3838" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quinnipiac Poll, 3/7/22</a></p>
<p>Like the illegals who stream across the southern border, these pussies are making an arrogant and narcissistic assumption that another country would willingly take in our cowards with open arms. It&#8217;s not like Black Lives Matter protests and Antifa riots weren&#8217;t seen on televisions in other countries. It&#8217;s not like the transgender-grooming onslaught in American classrooms aren&#8217;t being monitored abroad. Many in countries around the world can see who the freaks are on Twitter, Tik Tok, and Facebook. It would really suck for those who fled when the country needed them to be told by other nations, &#8220;We don&#8217;t want your kind here.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Rashida-Tlaib.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22805 size-medium" title="Rashida Tlaib" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Rashida-Tlaib-150x102.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="102" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Rashida-Tlaib-150x102.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Rashida-Tlaib-768x521.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Rashida-Tlaib.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></span>It&#8217;s not like the United States would want them back. Think of how much more calm the country would be without the daily angst the left brings into every topic. Liberal perpetual misery and <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/white-libs-mental-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documented insanity</a> is their normal so even if the USA were conservative-free tomorrow, they&#8217;d eventually drive all crazy.</p>
<p>But imagine an America where children could go to school and learn to read, write and do mathematics. Imagine an America where people could be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Imagine an America where art was created by the talented. Imagine an America where Election Day was one day, like it was for a couple hundred years, and voters had no problem proving who they are. Imagine an America where the privileged among us were thankful instead of sanctimonious jerks who flaunted their fortunes. Imagine an America where all babies mattered. Imagine an America where you couldn&#8217;t be cancelled. Imagine an America where a flag and a prayer weren&#8217;t bad things.</p>
<p>There are a lot more things that would America a better place if Democrats fled. Sadly, it might take a war scenario to cleanse the nation of the infection but if we could start again without them, the United States would be a better place instantly.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While many are citing the latest gay onslaught on children, it&#8217;s been <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2009/12/09/the-little-black-book/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">something in the works</a> for over 20 years.</p>
<p>The Walt Disney Company has added themselves to the groups who believe it&#8217;s their right to have access to and sexualize children, now as young as kindergarten age, and they&#8217;re pissed off there is actual opposition to their desires.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DeSantis.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22675 size-medium" title="Governor Ron DeSantis signs HB 1557 into law" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DeSantis-150x95.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="95" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DeSantis-150x95.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DeSantis-768x487.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DeSantis-400x250.jpg 400w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DeSantis.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 1557, also known as the controversial ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, into Florida law during a press conference Monday morning The bill, officially called the Parental Rights in Education bill, was signed into law at Classical Preparatory School in Spring Hill around 12:30 p.m.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“We will make sure that parents can send their kids to school to get an education, not an indoctrination,” DeSantis said in the press conference. The Florida Senate previously passed the related SB 1834 22-17 in early March before it reached the governor’s desk. The newly signed legislation restricts what kids could learn about sexual orientation in elementary school. The new legislation limits discussion of LGBTQ issues in kindergarten through third grade.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The bill also allows parents to sue school districts if teachers discuss homosexuality or gender identity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://nbc-2.com/news/state/2022/03/28/desantis-signs-controversial-dont-say-gay-bill-into-florida-law/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC 2, 3/28/22</a></p>
<p>Coupled with the lies pushed by transgender activists and the media (&#8220;Don&#8217;t Say Gay&#8221; is what the left repeats is in the bill), Disney employees are going to openly defy the bill and target any politician who believes woke, gay advocate teachers talking with kindergarteners about their genitals is a bad thing.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vwk829/?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>The problem is that we&#8217;re now talking about families potentially boycotting a two or three dollar chicken sandwich. Disney products are not cheap. Disney+ goes for $8 a month or $80 a year for ad-free streaming, or a Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN+ bundle runs for a starting price of $14 a month or $168 a year. That will amount to a noticeable savings to the monthly family budget, avoiding a company whose abusive employee bullies are giving a middle finger to their customers, that is until they get over the outrage Christopher Rufo&#8217;s release of this video has caused.</p>

<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1509616489816502272" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@realchrisrufo Tweet, 3/31/22</a></span></p>
<p>But here&#8217;s where things can get real dicey for the Mouse.</p>
<p>Not even taking Bidenflation and war into account, a family going to <a href="https://www.mousehacking.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-go-to-disney-world" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disneyworld in 2022</a> costs a serious amount of money and planning.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Disneyworld.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22692 size-medium" title="Disneyworld, Florida" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Disneyworld-150x112.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="112" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Disneyworld-150x112.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Disneyworld-768x575.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Disneyworld-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Disneyworld.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>5 Nights Pop Century — $1228</strong><br />
<strong>5 Day Base Tickets — $1988</strong><br />
<strong>2 Days Genie+ — $128</strong><br />
<strong>MCO-Disney Transportation — $200</strong><br />
<strong>Assume flights and dining increase 3% — $2187</strong><br />
<strong>Total Base Trip — $5731</strong></p>
<p>This is an easy removal as a family budget option, especially to a venue that has obvious contempt for how parents wish to raise their normal children. We&#8217;re talking millions monthly of potential losses to Disney just because a very small percentage of the national population believes they can bully the majority into submission over their desire to indoctrinate children behind the backs and/or over the objections of those who raise them.</p>
<p>A sleeping giant is a lot more powerful than a mouse and millions of Americans will take a pass on an abusive &#8220;Happiest Place on Earth&#8221;.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the grand tradition of American elites (pompously speaking for all of us) making outrageous comments to the foreign media that they assume and hope isn&#8217;t heard back home, or maybe they don&#8217;t care; who knows, the practice continues on.</p>
<p>&#8220;U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate&#8221; John Kerry was interviewed by <a href="https://youtu.be/vksGzhgYnEw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC Arabic</a> and considering the usual death and collateral damage that comes with war, he made one of the most tone deaf statements to date, and that&#8217;s saying a lot given a Biden administration that was widely praised by the corporate media for bringing back the &#8220;adults&#8221; in U.S. politics&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vv26v3/?pub=6btuj" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Of course, when it comes to anything the public obviously took the wrong way, the administration explained how we all should have understood what we heard.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-11636 size-thumbnail" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/State-Dept-100x100.png" alt="" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/State-Dept-100x100.png 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/State-Dept-125x125.png 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/State-Dept.png 135w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" />Secretary Kerry strongly condemns the unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. On Monday prior to the attack, he was asked about the climate implications of a potential future conflict.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.memri.org/tv/john-kerry-bbc-arabic-ukraine-crisis-distract-world-from-climate-crisis-massive-emissions-consequences" target="_blank" rel="noopener">State Department spokesman</a></p>
<p>Yeah, he was and perhaps he spoke a tad too much again.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/john-kerry-excoriated-putin-focus-climate-change-ukraine-invasion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kerry excoriated for hoping Putin will focus on climate change amid Ukraine invasion</a></strong><br />

<strong><a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/john-kerry-and-the-adults-who-werent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kerry and the Adults Who Weren’t</a></strong></p>
<p>At least, that&#8217;s how it was taken by those who chose to report it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seeing how some in the media are doing some reporting regarding Biden&#8217;s attempt to push the Iran nuclear deal, let&#8217;s go there for proper frame of reference.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Kerry-private-jet.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-17178 size-medium" title="John Kerry" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Kerry-private-jet-150x79.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="79" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Kerry-private-jet-150x79.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Kerry-private-jet-768x403.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Kerry-private-jet-750x400.jpg 750w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Kerry-private-jet.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>While many are reporting that the Iran nuclear deal has &#8220;stalled&#8221;, albeit now because of inconvenient Russia involvement, too many aren&#8217;t including why it&#8217;s still a bad deal and who (<a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2018/05/05/kerry-renegotiating-iran-deal-w-o-authorization-the-logan-act-applies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aside from the Iranians</a>) has the most to gain from it. Everything coming from the Biden administration is being taken at face value and little seems to have been learned from the media&#8217;s last go-round on the topic.</p>
<p>They were played then and they&#8217;re being played now, again, and for the same reason.</p>
<p>The Obama administration exploited the media&#8217;s ignorance, thus willing compliance, and even bragged about it when it came to pushing the Iran nuclear deal in 2016.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Ben-Rhodes.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22200 size-medium" title="Ben Rhodes" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Ben-Rhodes-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Ben-Rhodes-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Ben-Rhodes-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Ben-Rhodes.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus. Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. <strong>The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing. </strong></span><span style="color: #808080;">We created an echo chamber. They [the seemingly independent experts] were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/obama-official-says-he-pushed-a-narrative-to-media-to-sell-the-iran-nuclear-deal/2016/05/06/5b90d984-13a1-11e6-8967-7ac733c56f12_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Rhodes, Obama deputy national security adviser for strategic communications</a></p>
<p>As it doesn&#8217;t take much to spark media outrage, especially when criticized, one would think they&#8217;d be clutching the pearls and screeching back at Rhodes in unison. One would think&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-presser.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22197 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-presser-150x113.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-presser-150x113.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-presser-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-presser-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Obama-presser.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Hardly.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">When reporters had the chance on Friday to confront Obama about the revelations contained in the </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/08/magazine/the-aspiring-novelist-who-became-obamas-foreign-policy-guru.html?_r=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Times article</a><span style="color: #808080;">, they asked four questions: Three of them were about Donald Trump and one was about the ongoing safety problems with the Washington, D.C., subway system. Zero were about Ben Rhodes or Iran.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/why-is-ben-rhodes-apologizing-for-insulting-the-press/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Investors Business Daily, 5/10/16</a></p>
<p>This is yet one more reason to disregard the media noise coming from the White House. Many of them know little about what they&#8217;re reporting as they couldn&#8217;t address relevance to what similarly happened years ago without quickly going to Google on their phones.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22196 size-medium" title="CNN Fact Check" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-Russia-CNN-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-Russia-CNN-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-Russia-CNN-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Trump-Russia-CNN.jpg 780w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" />Despite all the things we now know were wrong <em>(Trump-Russia collusion, COVID-19 was natural, no 2020 vote fraud, masks work, vaccines are safe and effective, January 6 was an &#8220;armed insurrection&#8221;, no bio-weapons labs in Ukraine, etc.)</em>, there are those in the media and Big Tech who&#8217;d be the first to admonish and implement banishment for anyone who dare doubt them and their anonymous, so-called &#8220;fact checkers&#8221;.</p>
<p>The truth is we, justifiably, have no reason to accept anything from the media just because they say so, especially today.</p>
<p>There was a time when a reporter would have to work in the profession for decades and have a proven track record of excellence to even be considered for a White House correspondence gig. Many of today&#8217;s White House reporters are literally a few years out of college and somehow landed the prized position.</p>

It&#8217;s important to acknowledge age and life experience-challenged status simply because frame of reference is physically limited by time. Back in the day instead of the evening news for updates of events while happening, many of today&#8217;s White House reporters were probably watching the Power Rangers or waiting for <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101065/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clarissa</a> to explain it all.</p>
<p>So while you consume anything regarding the &#8220;Iran nuclear deal&#8221;, assure yourself that the majority of the information provided is coming from those who many need to be reminded that this was tried less than seven years ago, how and why it failed, who would benefit, who would be under immediate threat, and why it was shot down.</p>
<p>If they don&#8217;t know the answers to those historical facts, they have no business reporting on it today.</p>

Biden&#8217;s team could be privately hoping a Russian occupation of Ukraine could give Biden the allure of being a wartime president where national support is normally expected and universal. After all, it would take something huge to make Americans forget all the intentional mismanagement and subsequent pain he&#8217;s inflicted on the American people from the border, Afghanistan, to their wallets.</p>
<p>At least Harris had the courtesy of giving us a heads up, followed by Joe Biden and even Barack Obama!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s easy for Kamala Harris to volunteer Americans to &#8220;put ourselves out there in a way that maybe <span style="text-decoration: underline;">we</span> will incur some (energy) costs&#8221; when she and most in the high-paid administration won&#8217;t feel the pain their policies cause. Biden warned Americans of what may come before taking off to Delaware for the weekend with no events planned. And Barack Obama issued a statement on social media&#8230; from one of his beachside properties?</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">However, according to Obama, &#8220;that&#8217;s a price we should be willing to pay to take a stand on the side of freedom.&#8221;</span><br />

<p>Having the Biden-Harris incompentents in charge during what could be the beginning of World War III is a frightening enough prospect. Heaven forbid European vacation plans are disrupted.</p>

It’s very anxiety provoking, the whole thing. It makes you feel bad when you wake up in the morning.”</span><br />

<p>When energy prices begin to rise even more, again thanks to Biden&#8217;s petulant reversal of President Trump&#8217;s energy independence policies, Kamala Harris won&#8217;t even feel the breeze as taxpayers fund any movement requiring fuel. Joe Biden has most of his meals paid for by taxpayers. The air conditioning and heat in Obama&#8217;s mansions are chump change from his ability to cash in from his presidency.</p>

Aside from doing anything productive that would adhere to their Constitutional oaths to defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic (in fact, they&#8217;ve done the opposite), Biden, Harris and Obama are the last people to volunteer Americans to feel even more pain that was unnecessary to begin with.</p>
<p>The case could be made that almost none of the mayhem happening around the world today, especially in Russia, would be occurring if Donald Trump was the president and even <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1495413855622733831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some in the media</a> are slowly putting that together.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Veterans, for the most part, have one thing in common. At some point, they found themselves in direct harm&#8217;s way. Defending democracy was no political bumper sticker slogan recited during an election year. Injury or death was a distinct possibility and they were putting their lives on the line for millions who appreciated their sacrifice and millions of others who were oblivious.</p>

Merriam-Webster <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/patriot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">partially defines</a> who some of these people are&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;" data-wp-editing="1">Today, active fighting or resistance is not a requirement to being a patriot: a person only needs a strong sense of love for one’s country.</span></p>
<p>Over the last few months, there have been numerous stories of veterans making an additional sacrifice for their country.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SEALs.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-21864 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SEALs-150x85.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="85" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SEALs-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SEALs-768x433.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/SEALs.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></strong>They are running for office.</p>

<strong><a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/captain-sam-brown-twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Army veteran, GOP Senate candidate, accuses Twitter of flagging July 4 post of his salute in uniform</a></strong></p>
<p>It seems clear some veterans have had enough of people who (either chose not to serve, found ways to avoid serving or) place their own personal interests above the best interests of the country. They appear to have had enough of those who sell out our nation to foreign powers and have no problem sending Americans to fight battles that are not vital to our national security, meanwhile look the other way when genuine enemies are empowered, at worse with our tax dollars.</p>
<p>In 1959, science fiction writer Robert Heinlein wrote the novel <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Starship Troopers</a>. <em>&#8220;Heinlein firmly endorsed the anti-communist sentiment of the Cold War era in his writing. Heinlein served in the US Navy for five years after graduating from the United States Naval Academy in 1929. His experience in the military profoundly influenced his fiction.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>One scene from the 1997 film adaptation sums up his sentiment on where he believed &#8220;democracy&#8221; was going and what was a possible solution.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vvlaop/?pub=6btuj" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Being a citizen and having a vote is something that&#8217;s been taken for granted for many years. Some people don&#8217;t vote because they believe it&#8217;s a meaningless gesture and others believe it&#8217;s a tool to be manipulated for political and/or personal gain. Most of those who play games with votes have never served to protect that right, among others. In fact, politicians have sought (and at times succeeded) to mute the votes of active duty servicemembers simply because they didn&#8217;t like a Commander-in-Chief they&#8217;d most likely vote for.</p>
<p>Many of these politicians who&#8217;ve never even considered protecting the nation with their lives are the very ones who are crying about the &#8220;fragile&#8221; nature of our democracy and were the first to cower in fear during the Capitol riot.</p>

Is THIS how veterans would have reacted to the breach? Seeing how almost every conservative rally since 2009 has been totally peaceful (when no liberals counter-protested and brought signature destruction and violence with them), chances are veteran lawmakers would have personally gone to the protesters with appropriate backup, told them this was not right and go home. Running towards &#8220;danger&#8221; was what they were trained to do.</p>

January 6 was hardly an event that would make a wartime veteran retreat.</p>
<p>A veteran would not have shed tears recounting an event where very few weapons were present. You wouldn&#8217;t see sobs from veterans who weren&#8217;t anywhere near the location in question and make it all about them.</p>

Look at all those who interfere with our lives on a daily basis. Overpaid government health officials, state and federal office holders, Big Tech, legacy media pundits and columnists, social media trolls; how many of them have served and understand the value of the very freedoms veterans put their lives on the line to protect? Look at those who are quick to subvert votes so they can attain power over millions. Do these people appreciate that right and could the case be made they don&#8217;t deserve it because they never made the personal decision to defend it?</p>
<p>Of course, there are notable exceptions.</p>
<p><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/1499574209567199235" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-22142" title="@LindseyGrahamSC Tweet, 3/3/22" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Graham-Putin.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="297" /></a><br />
<a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Col.-Graham.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22152 size-medium" title="&quot;Lt. Gen. Jack L. Rives pins the Meritorious Service Medal on Colonel Lindsey Graham, April 2009&quot;" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Col.-Graham-150x133.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="133" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Col.-Graham-150x133.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Col.-Graham-768x682.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Col.-Graham.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>While Senator Lindsey Graham DID serve, he was commissioned as an officer in the Judge Advocate General&#8217;s Corps (JAG Corps) in the Air Force. He was never really in the shit and spent most of his service in air-conditioned offices. No responsible officer would recklessly, publicly call for the assassination of a foreign leader (no matter how despicable) because we understand how that could later be directed at our Commander-in-Chief.</p>
<p>Seeing how so many of us have been banned from Twitter for &#8220;hate speech&#8221; or something else intentionally vague, how is it this Tweet is allowed?</p>
<p>And do academics (with little if any real world experience) deserve the power they have, especially when they can play God with &#8220;science&#8221; to the physical peril of every man, woman, and child on the planet, especially when too many went to college to avoid serving? Do political media blabbermouths deserve the right to dictate how people should react to policies they prefer and be allowed to publicly demonize those they disagree with, seeing how most were too chickenshit to personally defend those rights? Do politicians, who are quick to restrict the free movement and assembly of those they claim to represent while disregarding restrictions that personally inconvenience them, deserve power they&#8217;ve never put all on the line to earn? It&#8217;s clearly past time to jettison and replace those who bestow the right to vote to those who aren&#8217;t even lawful citizens.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Biden-troops.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-20860 size-medium" title="President Joe Biden and soldiers" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Biden-troops-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Biden-troops-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Biden-troops-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Biden-troops-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Biden-troops.jpg 760w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Maybe this is why we see a conscious effort (by those who didn&#8217;t serve) to dilute the intestinal fortitude of those serving and who&#8217;ll they&#8217;ll be once they leave: patriots who&#8217;ll unquestioningly obey the cowardly.</p>
<p>The case could be made that it&#8217;s time for those who literally put their lives on the line to take charge. For whatever the initial inspiration to join, only a veteran understands the seriousness &#8220;duty to country&#8221; took once they voluntarily signed away their own personal freedom and made their own lives subject to the whims of those whose motivations may or may not be what&#8217;s best for the country. Maybe it&#8217;s time for veterans to no longer be props for top-heavy nonprofits and indifferent government contractors who use them for self-enrichment or government agencies whose employees tolerate their presence because they simply represent a paycheck and pension.</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s time for the real patriots to &#8220;save our democracy&#8221; because those who are in charge now know nothing about sacrifice and that&#8217;s the problem.</p>

<p>Should Donald Trump be removed from office, that would make Mike Pence the president while there&#8217;s a scenario where Nancy Pelosi could become vice president <em>(pending nomination and confirmation)</em>; a horrifying scenario to be sure. As vice president, Pelosi would continue her bully tactics and use her leverage with a Democrat-controlled House to create and/or shut down current policy items. One such federal activity she could definitely target for immediate termination, and Democrats have every reason to do so, would be the Durham investigation.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Durham.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-10608 size-medium" title="United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Durham-150x86.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="86" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Durham-150x86.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Durham-500x287.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Durham.jpg 691w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In October,</span> <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/durham-investigation-trump-campaign-surveillance-expanded-scope" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">it was reported</a> <span style="color: #808080;">that John Durham, U.S. attorney from Connecticut was expanding the scope of his investigation, adding agents and resources, to examine the post-election timeline up to the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel in May 2017.</span></p>
<p>Hmm, no leaks&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">The &#8220;investigation into the investigators&#8221; was reported to be</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/john-durham-opens-criminal-inquiry-in-dojs-investigation-of-the-investigators" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">upgraded to a criminal inquiry later that month</a></strong><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>, which gives Durham the power to impanel a grand jury and hand down indictments.</strong><br />
&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/certainly-will-be-a-standout-john-durham-appoints-new-criminal-chief" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Washington Examiner, 1/27/20</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Grand jury and serve indictments&#8221; and the expanded &#8220;investigation into the investigators&#8221; is undoubtedly what has many in and around Capitol Hill very nervous as while it was very cool to have those within President Trump&#8217;s circle investigated, incur exorbitant attorney fees resulting in harsh financial hardship <em>(and in some cases imprisonment)</em>, the very thought of the same happening to them is something that must keep many up at night given their possible involvement in what can only be called that &#8220;soft coup d&#8217;état&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Strzok.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-7222 size-medium" title="Peter Strzok" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Strzok-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Strzok-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Strzok.jpg 480w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>It&#8217;s not clear how many of those involved <em>(that we currently know of)</em> would be willing to fall on a sword for an immediate superior but do you really think Andrew McCabe, James Clapper, James Comey, John Brennan, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and others would be willing to rely on GoFundMe solicitations to pay for high-priced lawyers, especially when <em>(in this case)</em> a grand jury decision can speed up the normal process and bring a defendant straight into a federal courtroom facing hostile DOJ lawyers?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the Ukraine whistleblower, boasted in two recently discovered tweets of ongoing efforts to stage a coup to remove Mr. Trump: <strong>“coup has started. First of many steps. rebellion. impeachment will follow,”</strong> Mr. Zaid tweeted in January 2017. Later the same month, he tweeted: <strong>“coup has started. As one falls, two more will take their place.”</strong></span><br />

High profile defendants could be frog-matched in front of international cameras and a detailed list of their possible activities would be made public for all to see and digest. Then it would be up to those defendants to absorb the cost of their defense and have to decide how far in a trial they&#8217;d want to go, OR maybe plea bargain in exchange for ratting out someone above who knew about or even ordered them to commit crimes that may include treason.</p>

<p>Think about how many people it would take to pull that off.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In September 2018, The New York Times published an op-ed from <strong>an anonymous White House official who boasted of supposedly widescale efforts inside the Trump administration to nullify its operations and subvert presidential directives.</strong></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Inside&#8221;&#8230;.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/USDA-employees.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-6119 size-medium" title="USDA employees turn their backs on Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/USDA-employees-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/USDA-employees-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/USDA-employees.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Mr. Trump’s opponents often have praised the deep state precisely because unelected career officials are seen as the most effective way to sabotage and stymie his agenda.</span></strong></p>
<p>So while we&#8217;re all being told that President Trump committed impeachable offenses and deserves to be removed from office months before the next election because Democrats know they can&#8217;t beat him, think about what they&#8217;re NOT talking about and probably truly fear.</p>
<p>A Durham report coming out before the election could have a profound effect with dire ramifications for not only those accused, but those whose fingerprints verify involvement including Fusion GPS, the Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton and her campaign, those within the Obama administration and maybe even former president Barack Obama himself.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Trump-Des-Moines-rally.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-10560 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Trump-Des-Moines-rally-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Trump-Des-Moines-rally-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Trump-Des-Moines-rally-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Trump-Des-Moines-rally.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>The thought of a President Donald Trump, unfettered by the yoke of reelection, taking it to the very agencies, personnel and politicians who decided THEY were going to undo the 2016 and 2020 will of the people is a scary prospect indeed because Trump will show no mercy and will carry a very big book to throw at them.</p>
<p>And they all know it.</p>
