Every day that neither Jeb Bush nor Hillary Clinton are president is a great day. Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I make a point every single day of taking in ten or more Democrat media outlets and ten or more Republican media outlets.
Some of the Democrat sites I read are the NYT, WaPo, Mother Jones, The Hill, CNN, MSNBC, even HuffPo (the site for HUFFy, POST-menopausal white Democrats). Some of the Republican sites I read are the WaTi, American Thinker, Townhall, Breitbart, Free Republic, The Other McCain, even Gateway Pundit (but mostly for laughs).
I periodically remind readers of this so that newcomers know I listen to both sides. Which is why I became an Independent Voter. WE NEED THIRD PARTIES. Plus I like to remind people on the left or right who vow to NEVER read the sites of the opposite political party that THAT is why they have no credibility with me. If you read only one side’s take on the issues you’re like a judge who only listens to the prosecution side of a case without letting the defense speak.
Among the reasons I support President Trump is because he is a de facto Third Party President. Plus he’s not a career politician, which in America means “career white-collar criminal.” And he’s done more to help the working class and the poor than any other president of my lifetime.
A recent poll (link below) indicates that the Democrats’ absurd, neither fish nor fowl impeachment “inquiry” (all the fun of impeachment but with no accountability) has driven up President Trump’s standing with Independent voters. Continue reading
THE DEAD PIT (1989) – This horror film was the directorial debut of the very prolific director Brett Leonard. While not a four-star movie The Dead Pit is enjoyable enough for the Halloween Season and should certainly appeal to anyone into 1980s horror flicks. This movie’s hybrid of zombie elements and slasher elements is both its charm AND the reason behind its love-it-or-hate-it status. 
DOWN GOES NUMBER TWO – In the NAIA the 7th ranked GRAND VIEW UNIVERSITY VIKINGS visited the number 2 team in the nation – the BENEDICTINE COLLEGE RAVENS. The 1st Half was a defensive epic with the Ravens leading 6-3 at the break. From there Grand View shut out Benedictine College while adding 14 points in the 3rd Quarter and 10 in the 4th for a 27-6 Upset. 
AND NUMBER THREE COMES TUMBLING AFTER – Elsewhere in the NAIA the number 6 MARIAN UNIVERSITY KNIGHTS welcomed the country’s 3rd ranked UNIVERSITY OF SAINT FRANCIS (IN) COUGARS. The Knights grabbed a 7-0 1st Quarter lead which turned into a 21-10 advantage by Halftime. After the break Marian University scored the only points of the 2nd Half with a 4th Quarter Touchdown. The final score was Knights 28 Cougars 10. 
KNOCKING OFF NUMBER ONE – Meanwhile, down in the NJCAA, the 20th ranked HIGHLAND COLLEGE SCOTTIES played host to the number 1 team in the land – the storied HUTCHINSON COLLEGE BLUE DRAGONS. The Scotties handed the Blue Dragons their first loss of 2019, emerging on top in a 29-27 game for the ages. 
Why would anyone trust ANYTHING coming from a CIA employee? America’s CIA has a well-deserved international reputation for being the dirtiest of the dirty and the lowest of the low. After the 9-11 attacks the Democrats were reminding everyone that the CIA is trash and their actions around the world have made the U.S. many enemies. 
And let’s remember Democrat Chuck Schumer, rather than praise de facto Third Party President Donald Trump for the boldest stands against America’s dirty intelligence community since John F Kennedy, instead taunted him for defying them, saying “They have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” 
The thought of trusting ANY CIA-tainted figure on crucial issues is absurd. Remember their assurances that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction? How much blood is on their and George W Bush’s hands for that? Plus George’s father has a CIA center named for him because of his past with the agency, including as director under Ford. 
LE DIABLE AMOUREUX (THE DEVIL IN LOVE) – Written in 1772 and translated into English in 1793. This story was penned by Jacques Cazotte and is a forerunner of the type of fantastic, oneiric horror stories that E.T.A. Hoffmann would specialize in. 
The House Democrats under Nancy Pelosi are basically admitting how unpopular their kangaroo court-level “impeachment inquiry” is by refusing to even hold a vote to proceed. Pelosi and her fellow Democrat criminals know that forcing a formal vote would endanger the reelection chances of many Democrats in the House who were elected from moderate districts, where Trump is popular. 
The House will not even allow their minority party, the Republicans, to subpoena witnesses themselves. Clearly the Democrats do not want an investigation or “inquiry” they are just hoping that this fraudulent impeachment attempt will succeed where Robert Mueller’s trumped-up “Russian Collusion” investigation failed. 
On a lighter note, deranged Democrat Rosie O’Donnell ran a poll on her social media feed regarding impeachment and 58% of her own followers voted AGAINST impeaching President Trump. Needless to say O’Donnell then took the poll down. A true Democrat!
