TRANSGRESS WITH ME
LET’S INDULGE IN SOME TRANSGRESSIVE THINKING. PONDER THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS:
+++ The concept of White Privilege is a mere social construct.
+++ Filing a complaint about everyone who says something you disagree with is NOT “activism.”
+++ Critical race theory is nothing more than bigotry with a self-created halo.
+++ People who think they’re fit to tell you what words you are allowed to use are trying to force their own narrow-minded “morality” on you.
+++ The party of the Democrats has become nothing more than an organization dedicated to circumventing democracy in order to force everyone to obey their dictates.
+++ There is no such thing as “Hate Speech.”
+++ The Democrats are irrational for teaching children age 6 or younger that they can decide for themselves if they want to be the opposite sex. They wouldn’t let children that age decide they are capable of driving, so clearly there ARE physical and developmental absolutes.
+++ Colleges and universities have no business holding their kangaroo courts/ Star Chamber proceedings when a student is accused of a crime. That’s what courts of law are for and the accused is entitled to council.
+++ Women, African Americans and gay people do NOT have to obey the Democrats in order to be “authentic.”
+++ All lives matter. And it is not (yaaawwn) “racist” to say so.
+++ Preserving civil liberties from the social media and tech industry will be the great Civil Rights struggle of the 21st Century. Continue reading
FILMMAKER NEIL BREEN: HE’S TOMMY WISEAU TIMES FOUR!
Here at Balladeer’s Blog my love of enjoyably bad movies has been well established. You can count me as one of the many “Human Breens” as fans of filmmaker Neil Breen are called.
Neil Breen (PBUH) started out as an architect and realtor with minor show-biz dabblings as a dancer in Madonna’s Vogue video and as a cop in Scream. Years later Breen surfaced once again in the entertainment world, this time as an independent filmmaker.
As with the best of the bad auteurs Neil churns out productions that are uniquely his own. There is no mistaking a Neil Breen film with a film made by anyone else. Picture The Room’s Tommy Wiseau trying to make a David Lynch movie. But with a LOT more needless violence against laptop computers.
Read on for a look at the first four examples of Breen Cinema.
DOUBLE DOWN (2005) – Neil Breen starred, wrote and directed this movie – and quite obviously he or an associate even wrote the IMDb description of the plot. That description calls Double Down “an edgy action thriller,” which would certainly come as a surprise to anyone who has actually SEEN the film.
Double Down set the pattern for all things Breen, which is to say it redefines Vanity Projects AND Mary Sue-ing. He casts himself as (insert some sort of human or superhuman paragon here) who (engages in some sort of activity) while looking down on everyone else with a judgmental air of disapproval and ennui. And needless to say, he’s the BEST at looking down on everyone else with a judgmental air of disapproval and ennui. (Sure, but can he climb anything?). Continue reading

CCCAA COLLEGE FOOTBALL RESULTS
*** CCCAA ***
NUMBER TWO HAD A CLOSE CALL – After a blowout win to start the season the 2nd ranked AMERICAN RIVER COLLEGE BEAVERS barely survived this time around against the MODESTO COLLEGE PIRATES. The Beavers held a 20-14 lead at Halftime and a 34-28 edge to end the 3rd Quarter. The Pirates tied things up at 42-42 by the end of the 4th Quarter. The first Overtime ended in a 49-49 tie with American River College emerging with a 55-49 victory in the 2nd OT. (* Thank you to C.O. for catching an error I made in this post. It is now corrected.)
DONS ON THE ROAD – The SANTA ANA COLLEGE DONS (as in Old California Dons) traveled to face the CITRUS COLLEGE OWLS on Saturday. The 1st Quarter ended in a 7-7 tie but the Owls grabbed a 14-10 lead by the break. Neither team scored in the 3rd Quarter and in the 4th the Dons proceeded to notch a 17-14 come from behind win on the road.
WE WENT TO A FOOTBALL GAME BUT A POLO MATCH BROKE OUT – This game pitted the COLLEGE OF THE REDWOODS CORSAIRS against the home-standing GAVILAN COLLEGE RAMS. Neither team scored in the opening Quarter and the score was knotted up at 6-6 at the Half. The 3rd Quarter ended with the Rams on top 9-6 but the 4th Quarter saw the Corsairs put up 8 points for a 14-9 Polo Score triumph. Continue reading

HILLARY “BUGSY” CLINTON BITTERLY FLAILS AT EVERYONE AND CALLS BERNIE SANDERS VOTERS “SEXIST”
White Supremacist Hillary Clinton, the pant-suited Richard Nixon on steroids, continued spouting the pompous Democrat attitude that groups they claim to “own” owe them slavish and unquestioning loyalty. Hillary said she will not offer “absolution” to women who did not vote for her.
Apparently, Delusional Hillary mistakenly thinks there are untold numbers of women who regret not voting for her. Yes, there are untold numbers of women who bitterly spout non-stop hatred for OTHER WOMEN who did not vote for Hillary, but there is NO indication that anyone wise enough to vote for the other candidates feels any sense of regret.
If anything, our de facto Third Party President Donald Trump has – merely by winning – forced the Democrats (DemCorp) and Republicans (RepubCorp) to show their real faces.
But since Crooked Hillary is still gnashing her teeth in impotent outrage here’s another look at my fictional HILLARY CLINTON EXCUSE CALENDAR. You’ll get three hundred sixty-five gems like:
THE RUSSIANS FORCED HILLARY TO RUN A FAKE CHARITY, ACCEPT BRIBES AND MISHANDLE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION!
THE VOTES OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SHOULD BE THE ONLY VOTES THAT COUNT!
MALE VOTERS FELT THREATENED BY A WOMAN LIKE HILLARY WHO LIVES OFF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF HER HUSBAND!
HILLARY’S SHRILL VOICE WAS SO HIGH-PITCHED ONLY DOGS COULD HEAR HER LIES AND PROMISES.
- … … RED – Trump, Blue – Hillary
ISOLATED, HEAVILY POPULATED POCKETS OF POMPOUS SNOBS AND BLOATED RICH PIGS SHOULD GET TO DICTATE HOW THE REST OF THE COUNTRY LIVES!
BLACK VOTERS FORGOT WE DEMOCRATS OWN THEM LIKE WE DID ON OUR PLANTATIONS!
OBAMA TOLD HILLARY IT WAS A GOOD STRATEGY TO CALL MOST OF THE COUNTRY “A BASKET OF DEPLORABLES.”
AMERICANS ARE BIASED AGAINST CAREER CRIMINALS LIKE HILLARY! Continue reading

NJCAA COLLEGE FOOTBALL RESULTS: WEEK THREE
*** HEADLINES ***
DOWN GOES NUMBER THREE – The INDEPENDENCE COLLEGE PIRATES welcomed the defending National Champions – the number 3 GARDEN CITY COLLEGE BRONCBUSTERS. The score was tied at 14-14 by Halftime but from there the Pirates outscored the Broncbusters 13-9 to pull off a nation-shaking 27-23 upset.
NINETY-ONE – The storied HUTCHINSON COLLEGE BLUE DRAGONS improved to 2-1, bouncing back from last week’s loss to Iowa Western. The REZOLUTION (sic) ACADEMY WILDCATS were on hand for the Blue Dragons to take out their anger on. The Wildcats may want to just burn the game film for this laugher since Hutchinson College eviscerated them NINETY-ONE to NOTHING!
VICTORIOUS VERMILION – The VERMILION COLLEGE IRONMEN took the field against the MINNESOTA TECH SPARTANS on Saturday. The Ironmen trailed the Spartans 7-0 after 1 Quarter of play but knotted things up at 7-7 by the break. The 3rd Quarter ended with Vermilion College on top 14-7 and from there the Ironmen won it 28-7. Continue reading

BAD MOVIES FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL
What better way to mark the return of the school year than with the absurdity of those over-the- top Juvenile Delinquent films of the 1950s and 1960s?
HIGH SCHOOL CAESAR (1960) – John Ashley, who was about as menacing as Ned Flanders, plays a bitter rich teenage punk who runs illegal operations at his high school like a junior version of organized crime. The title is a reference to Little Caesar, the gangster movie with Edward G Robinson.
Ashley’s JD character peddles the answers to exams, rigs school elections and bilks money from his classmates. All of this is played so seriously you will die laughing. There’s also the obligatory Drag Race and OF COURSE someone dies while drag racing. My Bad Movie page has a full-length review of this one if you’re interested.
SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROCK! (1956) – In this hilarious movie Rock and Roll music is blamed for the Juvenile Delinquency epidemic of the 1950’s. Not only does one particularly irrational city ban rock music completely but it puts the local rock DJ on trial!
They hold him accountable for the vandalism and other JD activities that hit the town because, by their logic, the “wild” music he played CAUSED the teenagers to commit their crimes. This is Continue reading

SEPTEMBER 11th: DEMOCRATS THINK ALL “AUTHENTIC” MUSLIMS HATE THE WEST
Democrats: Muslims who don’t hate the Western World are useless to us!
The close-minded people who pretend to be American Liberals love to act like they’re “defending Muslims” by objecting to the marking of 9-11. In their eyes ONLY Muslims who hate the West are “authentic.”
You’ll never see self-adoring, virtue-signalling Leftist demagogues doing photo ops with Muslims who came to America to GET AWAY from the suffocating oppression of the Muslim World and the endless wars which Muslim groups have been waging against each other for over a thousand years.
Muslims are the new toys of the pompous, condescending Liberals (more like fascists) of the Western World. The ONLY Muslims who are useful to them are Muslims who say that America is “Islamophobic” (Oh, NO WONDER they want to come here in such large numbers and no wonder the number of mosques in the U.S. has more than tripled since the 9-11 attacks) or (yaaaawn) racist (Islam is not a race).
The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party
You will NEVER see the political media giving air-time to Muslims who want to say “The West is not our enemy” or “Actually I find it fascinating to interact with so many non-Muslims. It’s really opened my mind.” and ESPECIALLY not “I came to America so my daughters can have more freedoms and pursue their own dreams.”
The latest worn-out expression from the gutless zombies of American Liberalism or “Libero-fascism” is Western Triumphalism. Any and all Muslims who DON’T hate America or other Western nations get dismissed by the left-wing parties as Western Triumphalists who have “internalized Western Oppression.”
As always with the barely human robots of the political left members of ANY group they decide belongs to them can NOT be “the authentic voices” of that group UNLESS they express hatred of the U.S. and the U.K. etc. Oh, and unless they show mindlesss, unquestioning allegiance to the Democratic Party (U.S.) or Labour Party (U.K.).
Sadly those Muslims who flee the constant conflicts of the Middle East (which has been a war-torn mess ever since Islam entered the picture and destroyed enlightened Arab cultures) are the ones who have to hide from public exposure lest they be targeted by the violent Muslim fanatics. Ironically the Left’s approach mostly hurts the Muslims they pretend to be helping.
And I repeat the Muslim World has been a mess for OVER A THOUSAND YEARS! They ran the African slave trade before Europeans got around to it. They were a brutal, blood-soaked Colonial Empire even earlier than the European Colonial powers were.
Islam spread through blood and violence like all religions do. Islam expanded from the area of the Arabian Peninsula to subjugate most of Africa, several nations of Europe and also spread eastward as far as the Philippines. Conflict between Islam and the rest of the world did NOT begin with the supreme ass named George W Bush.

SEPTEMBER 11th: LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES
September 11th, 2001
Sixteen years ago Muslim fanatics reminded the rest of the world that they’ve been at war with us for about 1,400 years. Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at a parallel Earth today.
Several years ago a big deal was made over whether or not the 9-11 attacks could have been prevented by greater coordination between elements of the intelligence community. Amid the predictable partisan bickering and childish finger- pointing that characterized the 9-11 Commission and its findings an important consideration was overlooked.
That consideration was how events would have unfolded if the attacks had actually been thwarted. Let’s take a quick look at both the Liberal idiocy and the Conservative idiocy that would have followed.
THE LIBERAL IDIOCY – The insecure American Left always feels that the only officially “intellectual” thing to do is to take sides against one’s own country no matter what the situation is.
I agree there are plenty of times when reasonable people WILL take sides against their own country, but with American Liberals the rest of us have learned to just yawn and listen with amusement as they twist logic as severely as they have to in order to stick to their apparent loyalty to “everyone who hates America, right or wrong.” Continue reading
