Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and green hair walked over to me and asked, “What brings you in today, I looked at her and said, “I’m interested in buying a refrigerator.” She didn’t quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look.

Here are eight questions from a National Poll Survey which had some results that may surprise you.
Before you see the survey results below, answer the questions first, and see how you score against the national average and against the facts:
1. What percentage of the country is black?
2. What percentage of marriages are of mixed race?
3. What percentage is “Latino?”
4. How many American families make over $500,000 a year?
5. What percent of Americans are vegetarians?
6. What percent of Americans live in New York City?
7. What percentage of Americans are ‘transgender?’
The Poll Results
A recent poll was conducted by the national polling company “YouGov.” These are the results of the questions asked of average people on the street. The actual numbers come from US Census Bureau.
What percentage of the country is black? Answers 41%… Actual 12%. If you’ve seen TV commercials, you’d think it was 80%.
What percentage of marriages are of mixed race? Answer 50%… Actual 1%. If you watched TV commercials, you’d think it was 90%.
What percentage is “Latino?” Answers 39%… Actual number 17%.
How many families make over $500,000 a year? Answers 26%… Actual figure 1% We actually think that over a quarter of the country is that rich!
What percent of Americans are vegetarians? Response? 30%… Actual 5%.
What percent of Americans live in NY City? Answers? 30%… Actual 3%.
What percentage of Americans are ‘transgender? Response? 22%… Actual number 1%
Ask yourself, why does the public seem to have such inaccurate thoughts on these statistics?
Answer: THE MEDIA! The media air race, gender and wealth stories and ads repeatedly.
Result? We are being brainwashed by the Left with the knowing help of the MEDIA.
Disney recently went full-on “gender conscious” and will no longer welcome guests with their traditional “Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.”
Why? Because 1% of the population is dictating to the other 99% and corporate America falls for it.
Social MEDIA is very effective at what it does, what it promotes.... as well as censors.
Defiant A’s fans plan ‘Reverse Boycott’ at Oakland Coliseum
The Associated Press
2 hours ago
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Dawn Pieper will show her love for the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night in the spirit of her late husband, Jay, who is the reason she became such a loyal supporter. Lifelong fan Gabriel Hernandez will cheer his heart out in hopes everyone in attendance can make a meaningful, monumental statement that they are far from done fighting to keep their team in the East Bay.
Fed-up fans in Oakland have hatched an unusual plan to protest the A’s despised ownership group.
Organizers are calling on A’s supporters to stage a “Reverse Boycott” at the Coliseum on Tuesday. They plan to give away T-shirts to the first 7,000 fans to arrive and are hoping to make a statement with the biggest, most spirited crowd of the year when the A’s host Tampa Bay. The goal is a sellout for a team with dismal attendance all season that has regularly been topped by most Triple-A franchises.
The bright green T-shirts made by local company Oaklandish read “SELL” — a message for owner John Fisher to give up the team to someone who might keep it here. Nevada lawmakers, meanwhile, are discussing the A’s proposed financing plan to build a new ballpark in Las Vegas.
Among those planning to attend: the drummers in the right-field bleachers that used to echo their support for the franchise that’s been in the Bay Area since 1968.
Hernandez offered this message to fellow fans: “Be Loud, Be Proud, Bring Sign, Speak Your Mind, Go A’s.”
“I’ve been a fan my whole life. Raised in Oakland my whole life, no other sport connected with me like how the A’s have and started going diehard mode in 2014,” the 24-year-old Hernandez said. “Personally, I’m at a loss for words, as A’s fans try again to keep their team in Oakland with plans already in full swing for a new ballpark in Las Vegas. To see not only A’s fans but other MLB fans help come together supporting the movement, I’m proud of the fans who participated.”
Naomi Arnst, a fan for 51 years, purchased a pair of tickets Monday for $144 each, including service charges, and another $147.50 on parking. The seats in section 110 are close to where she used to sit with corporate tickets. It’s all worth the expense to be there Tuesday, and she notes, “With parking it cost as much as an A-list Broadway show.”
“But it is time to make a statement,” she said.https://72a0423ec59fb9200ba975e29df6a716.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0
Pieper, a season ticketholder for five years, said her husband who grew up in Oakland would “be sick to his stomach over this situation.”
“I’ve been an A’s fan since the early 2000s. He and (former player) Mark Ellis made me fall in love with the A’s. I’m not at all surprised how big the Reverse Boycott has become and how much traction it’s getting nationally,” she said. “Never, ever underestimate A’s fans. We are an incredibly loyal and passionate group. We will never give up and we will fight to the end to keep our team in Oakland.”VIDEO: Owner reunites with French bulldog weeks after being stolen in Oakland
Fans are hoping to show that support still exists for the A’s, if not for Fisher, in a sign that the franchise shouldn’t turn its back on Oakland.
“I want to thank and appreciate the fans who organized the incredible reverse boycott for Tuesday, and encourage people to attend the A’s game tomorrow,” Oakland Vice Mayor Rebecca Kaplan said in a message to The Associated Press. “Oakland has the best weather, the best community, and is a fabulous place for baseball.”https://72a0423ec59fb9200ba975e29df6a716.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html?n=0
Hernandez offered his gratitude to everyone who has helped in some way to make Tuesday’s event happen, vowing that A’s fans will be heard.
“We hope to make a statement to not only ownership but to MLB and the whole world that this isn’t our fault, that we are here. Stop blaming us as fans for someone who is basically telling me to stop coming by trading our players, raising prices, taking away season ticket benefits like 50% concessions, 25% (merchandise), $10 parking. We aren’t going down without a fight.”
Are American Media Out of Control-No Longer Interested In Truth Telling While Adversely Affecting Peoples Lives ?
As old Walter Cronkeit- schooled journalists we continue to be amazed and appalled how today’s mainstream media-99% of media- seem to either purposely ignore news stories or even alter some to fit management/political narratives.
Latest cases in point:
No media seem to have covered the terrible killing of a white man, Lawrence Herr, by blacks who admitted to wanting to find a white person to kill for no other reason than color of skin. Only a few local media – and obituaries -covered the story as of this writing. Heres one
According to police statistics, 84% of biracial murders are by blacks against whites, but, Instead of getting it getting it right, THE MEDIA went after a different story they liked better: New York nurse who purportedly stole a bike from some blacks- at least thats the way the media would have it come out . In fact , the story was totally the opposite. The media had no byinterest in investigating the situation to learn thst this very frightened woman? Who herslef was being intentionally targeted and harrassed by the same blacks thatbshe had supposedly stolen the bike from. In fact , her lawyers showed the receipt thst she had paid for the city rental bike….. but that’s not all.
The Woman, who is six months pregnant was fired from her nursing job at a major NY hospital before even investig as ting the story..
And a related story the same week Involving a long time baseball announcer , Glen Kuiper, who was fired by the network carrying the Oakland As for an apparent racial fauxpaw for which he had quickly apPologized- again before any kind of an investigation. MORE
Here you have one, maybe two , innocent people who’s lives have been turned upside down if not ruined.
We’re definitely Iiving in scary, even dangerous times and people need to start demanding more of the media . Thst is why we are sharing this with you and maybe we can finally demand better accou n tability from our complicit, Pravda-like media we Americans used to rail against. Wake Up America!
Today, 5-12-23, the President didn’t even show up to work for his one appointment, with Kevin McCarthy , to discuss the critical debt ceiling crisis. Another three day weekend.
Current radical American politics really began in the liberalized 1970s, according to Mark Levin, when the EPA Won a major court ruling , 5 to 4 , that allowed it to make its own radical decisions such as allowing the phasing out of fossil fuel and virtually anything else including those things that had finally made America energy- independent, including clean natural gas. That was the springboard, says Mark Levin. And now we’re seeing the results of that with the government wanting to tell us what appliances to use and what cars to drive and what not to do. Not that this wasn’t all planned from day one when Biden came in to power.
It’s all about power and control. Just as America was gaining energy independence for the 1st time under the Trump regime the damns come and blow it up. Many in the damn party don’t even realize what their party is doing- they’re just used to following the leader -and they’re gonna regret it one day when they’re taking public transportation and no longer have control of their own lives.
Meanwhile , the media are in full cover up mode even after the cover was totally blown on Biden and family this week by the Comer Oversight Committee that has already found over $10 million in laundered money thru many ‘shell’ (phony) LLCs the family set up and the 170 infractions noted by four supoened banks where the Bidens did business. And all this while new ,larger numbers of illegals pour accross our borders following todays end of title 42- which EVERY Dem voted for to officially UNSECURE the border.
‘Sabatoge’ is the new buzzword spokesmouth JKP and other ‘low information voters’ leveled at the judge who placed a temporary injunction- and are and will use to push back on the GOP.
The Nightmare Continues… Wake Up America!

Hopefully, you too feel strongly about the unprecedented corruption we’ve been experiencing now going on three years in this country. If you do please share this missive and or speak your own mind
But the 51 former “intelligence” officials who cast doubt on The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president. And more than a year later, even after their Deep State ⁷⁷⁷⅞ has been shown again and again to be a lie, they refuse to own up to how they undermined an election.
The officials, including CNN pundit and professional fabricator James Clapper — a man who was nearly charged for perjury for lying to Congress — signed a letter saying that the laptop “has the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Former National Intelligence Director James Clapper claimed The Post’s Hunter Biden exposé was a “a Russian information operation.”
What proof did they have? By their own admission, none. “We do not know if the emails . . . are genuine or not,” the letter said. They’re just “suspicious.” Why? Because they hurt Biden’s campaign, that’s evidence enough.
Keep in mind this was written Oct. 19, 2020, five days after The Post published its first story. Neither Joe Biden nor Hunter Biden had denied the story, they simply deflected questions. Didn’t these security experts think that if this was disinformation, the Biden campaign would have yelled to the heavens that the story was false?
Meanwhile, though the letter was advertised as being signed by people who worked “for presidents of both political parties,” a majority of the officials were Democrats.
Politico picked up the letter and ran the false headline “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” That headline is still online today, even though the letter clearly says they don’t know if it’s Russian disinformation.
That headline was tweeted out by legions of Democrats, including current White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, as proof that it was all a con. That tweet also is still up despite being proven false.
Thus pure speculation by a group of biased officials became gospel among the media. This was “fake news,” and could be safely ignored.
Keep in mind that Twitter already had banned The New York Post a few days before. The rationale was that this was “hacked materials,” even though it wasn’t — and Twitter had no evidence to think it was. A Facebook official, meanwhile, said it wasn’t going to allow the sharing of The Post’s story until it was “fact checked” by a third party — a check that never happened.
Thus, Big Tech, former government officials, and the media conspired together to bury a story.
No, not just bury — create a false narrative that flipped the script to make Joe Biden the victim of a conspiracy.
In short, they peddled online disinformation to sway an election.
No one actually proved The Post’s reporting was wrong. Media outlets showed up at the doorstep of the computer repairman who had gotten the laptop, and he confirmed it. People who exchanged e-mails with Hunter Biden attested to their accuracy in the days and weeks that followed.
Only after the election was safely over did Hunter tacitly admit the laptop was his. Last year, a Politico reporter confirmed that the laptop’s materials were real. And now, the coup de grace: The Times said it’s “authenticated” material from the laptop.
There have been no consequences. Twitter and Facebook still censor information based on political bias, and Congress takes no action. Many of the letter signers continue to be used as “experts” by the media. Clapper, for instance, spent years on CNN calling Donald Trump a “Russian asset,” a lie invented and fed by political operatives of Hillary Clinton. He’s still there. Guess accuracy is not a condition of employment.
Do the officials who tried to flip the 2020 election feel any regret for their actions? The Post reached out to those who signed the letter. Most would not answer the question. A few doubled-down, including Clapper. No remorse. No shame. And no apologies:
Mike Hayden, former CIA director, now analyst for CNN: Didn’t respond.
Jim Clapper, former director of national intelligence, now CNN pundit: “Yes, I stand by the statement made AT THE TIME, and would call attention to its 5th paragraph. I think sounding such a cautionary note AT THE TIME was appropriate.”
Leon Panetta, former CIA director and defense secretary, now runs a public policy institute at California State University: Declined comment.

Russ Travers, former National Counterterrorism Center acting director: “The letter explicitly stated that we didn’t know if the emails were genuine, but that we were concerned about Russian disinformation efforts. I spent 25 years as a Soviet/Russian analyst. Given the context of what the Russians were doing at the time (and continue to do — Ukraine being just the latest example), I considered the cautionary warning to be prudent.”

Kent Harrington, former national intelligence officer: Didn’t respond.
Don Hepburn, former national security executive, now president of Boanerges Solutions LLC: “My position has not changed any. I believe the Russians made a huge effort to alter the course of the election . . . The Russians are masters of blending truth and fiction and making something feel incredibly real when it’s not. Nothing I have seen really changes my opinion. I can’t tell you what part is real and what part is fake, but the thesis still stands for me, that it was a media influence hit job.”
Timothy D. Kilbourn, former dean of CIA’s Kent School of Intelligence Analysis: Didn’t respond.
Ron Marks, former CIA officer: Didn’t respond.
Jonna Hiestand Mendez, former CIA technical operations officer, now on board of the International Spy Museum: “I don’t have any comment. I would need a little more information.”
Emile Nakhleh, former director of CIA’s Political Islam Strategic Analysis Program, now at University of New Mexico: “I have not seen any information since then that would alter the decision behind signing the letter. That’s all I can go into. The whole issue was highly politicized and I don’t want to deal with that. I still stand by that letter.”
Gerald A. O’Shea, former CIA senior operations officer: Didn’t respond.
