										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As another disastrous day of the Biden administration passes and we&#8217;re not even half way through the term. It makes you wonder how these four years will be portrayed in the future. Obviously an American film company would offer a sentimental, excuse-riddled depiction that will be Democrat-friendly propaganda.</p>
<p>But the Biden administration would be a black comedy that would be &#8220;based on a true story&#8221;, thus there is only one group of actors and writers that could&#8217;ve given the Biden experience the comical accuracy it deserves&#8230;.</p>

<a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/monty-python.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-24040 size-medium" title="Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, John Cleese, and Michael Palin" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/monty-python-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/monty-python-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/monty-python-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/monty-python.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Most great comedies incorporate elements of recognizable truth. What would make &#8220;President Joe&#8221; a challenging project is that actual events are so implausible, it would borderline the absurd. But if they were to parody an American presidency and it was a Joe Biden type&#8230;?</p>
<p><em>NOTE: Before we dive in, remember this is a thought piece as Graham Chapman and Terry Jones are sadly no longer with us.</em></p>
<p data-wp-editing="1"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Jill-Biden.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-22412 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Jill-Biden-150x90.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="90" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Jill-Biden-150x90.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Jill-Biden.jpg 717w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Start with the election where candidate Biden is this obviously senile old man who has to be kept clear of little girls (or anyone where his sniffing nose could land), who&#8217;s dutifully led around by his neurotic, attention-whore wife who insults ethnic groups whenever she tries to speak their language. His campaign staff (complete with full time therapists) has to be on 24/7 damage control alert because of what Joe says once the teleprompter is dismantled. He&#8217;s such a liability, he&#8217;s relegated to the basement and his campaign invents a new term for times he&#8217;s unavailable: they&#8217;ll call it a &#8220;lid&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Hunter-with-minor-in-background.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-15587 size-medium" title="Hunter Biden" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Hunter-with-minor-in-background-112x150.jpg" alt="" width="112" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Hunter-with-minor-in-background-112x150.jpg 112w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Hunter-with-minor-in-background.jpg 436w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px" /></a>We&#8217;d be introduced to his crackhead son who just happened to forget his porn-laden, business ledger MacBook Pro at a computer repair shop; the contents of which are kept from the public through genuine censorship prior to the election. The son also has dubious ties to foreign energy companies and gets a check every time he says, &#8220;I&#8217;ll call the big guy!&#8221; They considered removing the part where he fathered a child with a different woman while dating his brother&#8217;s widow. That would be too much.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kamala-Harris.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19878 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kamala-Harris-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kamala-Harris-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kamala-Harris-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kamala-Harris-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kamala-Harris-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kamala-Harris-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kamala-Harris.jpg 1050w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Next would be an insufferable black woman who consistently calls Joe a racist behind his back (despite his naming her his running mate). She also has this tendency to break into uncontrollable giggles at inappropriate times. Every press conference, speech, or interview has the giggle and they only thing sparing her from a violent response is her Secret Service detachment (who privately wish they could give her one upside the head on numerous occasions).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mexico-migrants-Biden-sign.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-24055 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mexico-migrants-Biden-sign-150x85.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="85" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mexico-migrants-Biden-sign-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mexico-migrants-Biden-sign-800x451.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mexico-migrants-Biden-sign-768x433.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mexico-migrants-Biden-sign.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Once becoming president, Joe would proceed in doing everything wrong. After inheriting the most secure border in American history, Joe would suspend all immigration enforcement so the southern border becomes an unlocked screen door. This just screams for a dance number involving hundreds of extras, all of whom would be available for a mere Social Security card.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Afghanistan-airport.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-24034 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Afghanistan-airport-150x95.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="95" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Afghanistan-airport-150x95.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Afghanistan-airport-400x250.jpg 400w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Afghanistan-airport.jpg 760w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>The first foreign policy blunder would be an interpretation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan because, again, it would contain potentially hilarious visuals of locals hanging onto the sides of U.S. aircraft after take off and falling to their deaths. This would be a golden opportunity for Terry Gilliam’s signature animation.</p>
<p>Despite inheriting energy independence, Joe would soon declare war on fossil fuels and have to be talked out of placing a windmill on the roof of the White House. He&#8217;d tell the nation to get vaccinated so they won&#8217;t catch COVID-19 and insult those who declined. He&#8217;d get vaccinated, boosted twice, and still catch the coronavirus&#8230; twice.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Putin-god.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-24079 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Putin-god-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Putin-god-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Putin-god-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Putin-god.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Gas prices, food prices, the economy would spiral into uncontrolled inflation and he&#8217;d blame it all on the God of Russia.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-fart.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-24054 size-medium" title="Joe Biden's 'long' fart leaves Camilla blown away as she 'can't stop talking about it'" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-fart-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-fart-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-fart-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-fart-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-fart-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-fart.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Gilliam and Terry Jones would have fun with president who consistently mangles words, shakes hands with invisible people, doesn&#8217;t know where he is, needs a cue card to tell him where to sit, forgets the names of foreign dignitaries and those within his own cabinet. Every ten minutes or so, we&#8217;d see a disgusted Duchess of Cornwall telling a different person about Joe&#8217;s elongated wet fart.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-falls.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-24033 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-falls-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-falls-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-falls-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Biden-falls.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Chances are imagery of Biden falling up the stairs three times would have been alcohol-inspired but might not have made the final cut. Even in a Monty Python satire, a person falling up the stairs not once, not twice, but three times would be considered a bit much.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Pierre-Psaki.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-24057 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Pierre-Psaki-150x85.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="85" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Pierre-Psaki-150x85.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Pierre-Psaki-800x455.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Pierre-Psaki-768x436.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Pierre-Psaki.jpg 1107w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Of course all segments would be punctuated by a smarmy redhead press secretary would would always give a different account of what you just saw with your own eyes; a redhead who&#8217;d be later replaced by an unqualified black lesbian who can&#8217;t answer any question without painfully reading from a three-ring binder.</p>
<p>Given their experience, any one of the Monty Python cast could portray the nation&#8217;s first transgender Surgeon General.</p>

There are so many examples that such a satire would write itself.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Military-fairies.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-24084 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Military-fairies-150x84.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="84" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Military-fairies-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Military-fairies-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Military-fairies.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>It would also be quite interesting to see a Python-esque musical rendition of the song &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon&#8221;&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Biden.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-19575 size-medium alignleft" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Biden-150x113.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="113" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Biden-150x113.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Biden-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Biden.jpg 640w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>When it comes to reality, Joe Biden is going to continue to do the very opposite of what is logical, reasonable, and correct. Maybe such a comedy will be made in the future once we can look back and appreciate just how insane the Biden administration, their supporters, and media has been.</p>
<p>Today, it&#8217;s not funny. Tomorrow, we&#8217;ll be shaking our heads and laughing because we weren&#8217;t dumb enough to vote for that.</p>

										<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>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 loading="lazy" 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="auto, (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 loading="lazy" 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="auto, (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>When it came to his plan to combat the very inflation that began soon after he assumed the presidency, it was just the rehash of blaming everyone and everything except his policies, again most notably Russian president Vladimir Putin and his invasion of Ukraine.</p>
<p>An assertion very few are buying.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">It&#8217;s true that gas prices have increased far more drastically than the cost of other goods — 18.3 percent since February and 48 percent since March 2021. But, as Brad Polumbo of the Foundation for Economic Education</span> <a class="polaris__link" href="https://theweek.com/inflation/1012482/conservatives-attack-white-houses-putin-price-hike-narrative-as-inflation-surges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a><span style="color: #808080;">, <strong>&#8220;gas prices were rising for almost nine months before the invasion began, and prices overall have been surging since May of 2021.&#8221;</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://theweek.com/inflation/1012533/where-did-all-this-inflation-come-from-and-how-do-we-make-it-go-away" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Week, 4/16/22</a></p>
<p>But the butchery of messaging continued with Biden&#8217;s latest address to the nation, including a new label that will undoubtedly be incorporated&#8230;.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v11mpcj/?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>As usual, it didn&#8217;t go as planned.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">WaPo:</span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/21/bidens-false-claim-that-congressional-republicans-want-raise-taxes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden’s false claim that ‘congressional Republicans’ want to raise taxes</a></strong></p>
<p>Nothing much to add seeing how things will only get worse with Biden, supposedly, at the helm. He won&#8217;t correct his policies. He&#8217;ll just continue to insult the American people who aren&#8217;t stupid enough to fall for their callous spin.</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>

<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 />

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>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>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone whose served in an intelligence capacity in the military was warned about doing anything that may make you susceptible of blackmail. You can be made to do things that could be harmful to your country, like steal documents, etc. Republican Senator Richard Burr may have found himself in one of those compromising positions and it looks like he may have sold out President Trump so save his own ass.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-12398 size-medium" title="Senator Richard Burr" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-150x100.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-150x100.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-500x334.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-360x240.jpg 360w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr-600x400.jpg 600w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Burr.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Sen. Richard Burr&#8217;s sale of up to $1.7 million in stocks shortly before the recent market crash was one of the lawmaker&#8217;s only market-beating trades since record keeping began eight years ago, according to a new study. On a single day, Feb. 13 of this year, Burr unloaded a significant portion of his net worth — a departure from his typically low-volume trading history</span><span style="color: #808080;">.</span><br />

<p>Normally when a Republican screws up, Democrats and their media collectively demand a resignation. However, this didn&#8217;t happen to Senator Burr with the normal desire for a public head on a platter. While Burr wasn&#8217;t <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">the only one</a>, he and others could have been ripe for political blackmail and that just may be what&#8217;s happened&#8230;.</p>

<p>Self-proclaimed intellectually superior liberal Democrats HATE to be proven wrong, especially by Republicans, thus they never let the Mueller Report pseudo-exoneration go. They also love any opportunity to label something as &#8220;bipartisan&#8221; when damaging to Republicans and/or beneficial to Democrats. And now that the United States may finally be turning the Coronavirus corner and the economy may actually rebound prior to the 2020 Election, it&#8217;s time to bring back Russia, Russia, Russia.</p>

Did they continue the investigation under the guise of counterintelligence after Trump was elected, in the hope of finding a crime over which he could be impeached? Did they consciously mislead an American president about whether he was under investigation? Did they purposefully suggest in public testimony that the president was a criminal suspect, while privately assuring him that he was not one? <strong>And finally, when the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense was collapsing in a heap, did they open a criminal obstruction case — based on an untenable legal theory and facilitated by a leak of investigative information that was orchestrated by the just-fired FBI director — in order to justify continuing the probe under the auspices of a special counsel?</strong></span><br />

<p>With the pending results of the Durham investigations and possible indictments, be very wary of the timing of the Intel Committee&#8217;s actions providing cover for all facing possible prison time.</p>

Critics of the assessment have focused on the fact that the National Security Agency had a lower level of confidence than the C.I.A. and the F.B.I. on the conclusion that Mr. Putin supported Mr. Trump’s election.</span></p>
<p class="css-exrw3m evys1bk0" style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">But the Senate report, from a committee led by Republicans, could shore up the intelligence agencies’ conclusions.</span></strong></p>
<p>So we can thank Richard Burr <em>(and fellow Senate Intel <span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Republicans Jim Risch, Marco Rubio, Susan Collins, Roy Blunt, Tom Cotton, John Cornyn, Ben Sasse)</span></em> for giving Hillary Clinton, Democrats, and their media pundits something to talk about again through November.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People choose what they want to hear, especially when it bolsters what they want to believe. The media has a responsibility to put it all out there so The People can make up their own minds. But when the media chooses sides, they can disseminate and omit whatever they want talked about or kept out of conversations.</p>
<p>The latest is a <a href="http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/61057" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">June 19, 2029 interview Oliver Stone</a> conducted with Russian president Vladimir Putin. The interview transcript was released by the Russian government. The American media has seen fit to only release a short segment off the interview; the part regarding the 2016 presidential election&#8230;.</p>

So recently, you know Russia has been obviously accused and accused over and over again of interference in the 2016 election. As far as I know there is no proof, it has not turned up. But now in the US there has been an investigation going on about Ukraine’s interference in the election. It seems that it was a very confusing situation, and [Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko seems to have been very strongly pro-Clinton, anti-Trump.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Vladimir Putin</strong>: Yes, this is no secret.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Do you think there was interference?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I do not think that this could be interpreted as interference by Ukraine. But it is perfectly obvious that Ukrainian oligarchs gave money to Trump’s opponents. I do not know whether they did this by themselves or with the knowledge of the authorities.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Where they giving information to the Clinton campaign?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I do not know. I am being honest. I will not speak about what I do not know. I have enough problems of my own. They assumed Mrs Clinton would win and did everything to show loyalty to the future US administration. That is nothing special. They wanted the future President to have a good opinion of them. This is why they allowed themselves to make unflattering statements about Trump and supported the Democrats in every possible way. This is no secret at all. They acted almost in public.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: You do not want to go any further on that because you do not have any information?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: You know, this would be inappropriate on my part. If I said something more specific, I would have to put some documents, some papers on the table.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: You understand that it has huge implications because Mr Trump would be very grateful?</span></p>

<p><strong>Here&#8217;s where most of the American media begins to pull their quotes&#8230;.</strong></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I did not interfere then, I do not want to interfere now, and I am not going to interfere in the future.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: But that is a noble motive. Unfortunately, the world has degenerated in these two years, with all this backbiting and accusations, dirty fighting. Anyway…</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: There are no rules at all. It is no holds barred.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Well, you have rules. You say no interference.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I have principles.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Ok. But you seem to have rules based on those principles.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: Well, yes.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Ok. Well, you are fighting with one hand tied behind your back.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: Why? You mean, because of these principles?</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Yes. If you knew something about the election, it would tilt the balance in a very weird way.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: I think this is simply unrealistic. I have said so many times.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: What is unrealistic?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: To change anything. If you want to return to US elections again – look, it is a huge country, a huge nation with its own problems, with its own views on what is good and what is bad, and with an understanding that in the past few years, say ten years, nothing has changed for the better for the middle class despite the enormous growth of prosperity for the ruling class and the wealthy. This is a fact that Trump’s election team understood. He understood this himself and made the most of it.</span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;">No matter what our bloggers – or whoever’s job it is to comment on the internet – might say about the situation in the US, this could not have played a decisive role. It is sheer nonsense. But our sympathies were with him because he said he wanted to restore normal relations with Russia. What is bad about that? Of course, we can only welcome this position.</span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong><a style="color: #808080;" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4885" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019-150x96.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="96" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019-150x96.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019-768x493.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019-500x321.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Putin-Stone2-2019.jpg 780w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a></strong></span></h3>
<p>The following is what you <strong>won&#8217;t</strong> find too many American media outlets repeating, if at all&#8230; for reasons that are obvious.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Apparently, it excited the Clinton people a lot. The Clinton campaign accumulated the “Steele dossier.” They paid for it. It came from strange sources, the whole “Steele dossier” issue. Some of it comes from Ukraine. They also went out of their way, it seems to me, with the CIA, with Mr Brennan, John Brennan, and with Clapper, James Clapper, and Comey of the FBI. They all seem to have gotten involved, all intelligence agencies, in an anti-Trump way.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: They had levers inside the government, but there is nothing like that here. They applied administrative pressure. It always gives an advantage in countries such as the USA, some countries of Western Europe, about 2 percent on average, at a minimum.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Well, you are not disagreeing. You are saying that it was quite possible that there was an attempt to prevent Donald Trump from coming into office with a soft, I will call it a soft coup d’état?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: In the USA?</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: Yes.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: It is still going on.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: A coup d’état is planned by people who have power inside.</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: No, I do not mean that. I mean lack of respect for the will of the voters. I think it was unprecedented in the history of the United States.</span></h3>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Oliver Stone</strong>: What was unprecedented?</span></p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 80px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Putin</strong>: It was the first time the losing side does not want to admit defeat and does not respect the will of the voters.</span></h3>
<p>Putin&#8217;s last few sentences pretty much sums up why we&#8217;re STILL where we&#8217;re at today.</p>
<p>Seriously, why would Vladimir Putin need to meddle in our process and sow seeds of discord when our own Democrat Party <em>(led by sore-loser Hillary Democrats, their media, and those higher up in the federal government)</em> is doing more than any potential enemy of the United States could dream of.</p>
<p>And for lot cheaper than a paid Facebook ad.</p>

<p>Spare us the collective shock over liberals being insensitive because despite many offenses, once busted, they collectively issue their “That’s not who I am” statement, to which we have to constantly remind them, yes, it is.</p>
<p>The “video” in question was apparently the “opinion” of many at the New York Times who were paid to produce it.</p>
<blockquote><p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/inWhOePJ6EU" width="500" height="281" 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></blockquote>
<p>The video idea was presented to someone at the Times deemed receptive, someone greenlighted it and the rather amateurish artistry was created.</p>
<p>It IS who they are.</p>
<h2><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Bill Maher" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BillMaherAngry.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-64224 size-medium" title="Bill Maher" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BillMaherAngry-150x120.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BillMaherAngry-150x120.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BillMaherAngry.jpg 300w" alt="" width="150" height="120" /></a><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/lib-hate-excused/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lib Hate Excused</a></h2>
<p>Many have called blacks the n-word, women the c-word yet walk away relatively unscathed because they were “joking”. We’ve documented dozens of instances where liberals have slurred gays, ethnic groups, and almost all <em>(especially in the entertainment business)</em> are still working to this day but if the offender has any ties to the Republican Party or conservative movement, they are summarily destroyed.</p>
<p>The only time liberals tend to eat their own is when mostly white liberal women are affected <em>(see: #MeToo)</em>. Then it really doesn’t matter who the offender is. Then again, black liberals <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2017/08/14/charlottesvilles-vice-mayor-wes-bellamy-racist-misogynist-democrat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">get an occasional pass</a> when an agenda more important is inconveniently affected.</p>
<p>So, when the apologies and explanations are issued, and they will be soon, remember liberal intolerance is not an anomaly. When the culprits assure all their “opinion” was not who they are, it is and they’ll show us again who they are.</p>
<p>They always do.</p>

<p>The portion of the panel discussion not aired by NBC shows national heads of state that weren’t impressed by Kelly and an audience that regarded many of her questions and comments as failed punchlines.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vniakf/?pub=6btuj" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Kelly repeatedly recited the simple “all 17 intelligence agencies” confirmed-Russian-interference mantra despite authoritative comments to the contrary.</p>

<p>If you think about it, Megyn Kelly has really done the country a service as up to this point, the media’s been making very harsh accusations that have foreign policy ramifications and all based on unnamed “officials” and “anonymous sources”. These are the first responses to these allegations by someone who would have actual knowledge of the topic and President Putin shot them down in a mocking fashion.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Russian President Vladimir Putin" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Putin.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-115948 size-medium" title="Russian President Vladimir Putin" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Putin-150x84.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Putin-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Putin-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Putin-500x282.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Putin.jpg 1000w" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a>The truncated clip that aired on NBC within Kelly’s Sunday Night segment portrayed her as forceful and respected by the panelists that included the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, the Federal Chancellor of Austria Christian Kern, the President of the Republic of Moldova Igor Dodon, as well as the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. However in the unedited panel video, when Kelly tried to get some kind of affirmation from the others in the panel, none were willing to offer her a lifeline of verification or agreement.</p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Megyn Kelly on NBC" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Kelly-on-NBC.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-115979 size-medium" title="Megyn Kelly on NBC" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Kelly-on-NBC-150x84.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Kelly-on-NBC-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Kelly-on-NBC-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Kelly-on-NBC-500x282.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Kelly-on-NBC.jpg 1000w" alt="" width="150" height="84" /></a>Kelly is clearly trying to make <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/megyn-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly</a> the NBC version of CBS’s “60 Minutes”. The difference being that while the CBS audience may be dwindling, most people don’t dislike the hosts, whoever they are. Megyn Kelly left Fox News, not for the reasons disclosed by publicists, but because she mishandled her moderator position during the 2016 presidential debates and questions directed at candidate Donald Trump. She alienated many in her audience, doubled down on her attacks, tried to make good, demanded an outrageous salary Fox News passed on, and now she believes she can revive her career as a <a href="http://salaryandnetworth.com/megyn-kelly-the-crowning-glory-of-fox/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">between $16 and $20 million-a-year</a> liberal pit bull.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for her, Megyn Kelly can’t MAKE us listen to her and that must just piss her off.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, let’s be fair; according to WMAL’s Chris Plante, all broadcast media but Fox News has aired the edited response then-Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions gave to Minnesota Senator Al Franken during the confirmation hearings. Franken asked a question with regards to a universally discredited, #FakeNews story run by CNN….</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-112496 size-medium" title="Putin statement of denial regarding CNN/BuzzFeed &quot;story&quot;, 1/18/17" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Putin-Statement-150x84.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Putin-Statement-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Putin-Statement-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Putin-Statement.jpg 691w" width="150" height="84" /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/donald-trump-intelligence-report-russia/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him</a></strong><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that <strong>Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump</strong>, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The two-page synopsis also included allegations that <strong>there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government</strong>, according to two national security officials.</span></p>
<p>During March 3rd’s CNN “New Day”, anchor and Democrat cheerleader Alisyn Camerota again ran the edited confirmation hearing clip. We have presented the confirmation hearing segment and CNN’s deceptive edit of the complete question by Senator Franken to Jeff Sessions in context.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="rumble" src="https://rumble.com/embed/vw45yb/?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>Attorney General Sessions was clearly responding to Franken’s question about the CNN “story” and should have NEVER recused himself from any investigation of Russian hacking that supposedly denied Hillary Clinton her rightful place as President of the United States.</p>
<p>And as luck would have it, later in the day House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi got caught telling a whopper herself….</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The California Democrat told POLITICO Playbook on Friday morning that she had never met with the current Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak. A file photo from Pelosi’s 2010 meeting with then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, however, shows Kislyak at the table across from her.</span><br />

<p>As of March 4, 8:30am EST, no mention of the Pelosi lie on CNN’s front page.</p>
<p>It’s going to be a long weekend.</p>
