ELIZABETH WARREN & OTHER DEMOCRATS AGREED THAT DOMINION COULD ALTER VOTES … BUT APPARENTLY IF IT HELPS THEIR PARTY IT’S OKAY

trump march for election integrity

PART OF THE CROWD AT SATURDAY’S TRUMP MARCH FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog notes that de facto Third Party President Donald Trump is exposing the way Democrats apparently want the U.S. to be a corporate fascist state masquerading as a Democratic Republic. Even Democrat Senators Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Ron Wyden plus Democrat House member Mark Pocan warned in 2019 about Dominion election software and the way it could be used to destroy election integrity, like it seems to have done in this 2020 disputed election. (States like Texas which rejected the Dominion system did not have the problems discovered in states WITH Dominion.)

“These problems threaten the integrity of our elections.” Senators Elizabeth Warren (D), Amy Klobuchar (D) & Ron Wyden (D) issue a formal complaint in 2019 to Dominion Voting Systems. Among the complaints? Allegations of ‘vote-switching.’

DEMOCRAT PARTY

And please note: NINETY-SIX PERCENT OF DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS WENT TO DEMOCRATS. (link below) Were those contributions a way of getting those Congressional Democrats to overlook Dominion’s shortcomings? And was some other form of cooperation expected from Dominion? Reasonable people might ask such questions.  

Lawsuits and other actions are moving forward to have state legislatures refuse to certify the election results in those states where the Dominion system has called the integrity of those results into question.

trump vs goliathPresident Trump and his team are courageously fighting the good fight but the well-known spinelessness of the Republican Party’s office-holders may well cause that Party’s politicians to abandon the voters. If they do it will inevitably result in the 2020 presidential election joining the 2000 and 1876 elections as the most tainted in American history. As a minimum.  

Federal Election Commission Chairman Trey Trainor has joined the growing chorus of voices referring to this year’s presidential election as “illegitimate.” It was rather symbolic the way the corrupt George W Bush, accused of stealing the year 2000 election, was so eager to congratulate Joe Biden, accused of stealing the 2020 election. Is “Illegitimate presidents have to stick together” a saying? Continue reading

FRIDAY THE 13th PART 3D (1982): ON THE TEXAS TWENTY-SEVEN FILM VAULT

Friday the 13th Part 3DBefore MST3K there was … The Texas 27 Film Vault! In the middle 1980s, way down on Level 31 Randy Clower and Richard Malmos, machine-gun toting Film Vault Technicians First Class hosted this neglected cult show. 

ORIGINAL BROADCAST DATE: Saturday February 14th, 1987 from 10:30pm to 1:00am. 

SERIAL: None. The movie, Film Vault Corps comedy sketches and commercials filled up the entire two and a half hours this time.

FILM VAULT LORE: This episode marked the second time The Texas 27 Film Vault came with a warning about violent content. It was also at least the second time they riffed on a movie that was originally in 3-D. Randy and Richard did various jokes about wearing 3-D glasses and 3-D effects coming out of the screen at them as they watched the movie.

Randy and Richard firing their machine guns at giant rats, cellumites and other subterranean creatures.

When you throw in the previous year’s “Mock 3D” interview with Ben Johnson and the 1987 release of The Texas 27 Film Vault‘s official 3-D poster you could say Randy, Richard, Ken “Tex” Miller, Joe Riley and Laurie Savino had a definite fondness for taking shots at the whole 3-D concept.

THE MOVIE: Friday the 13th Part 3-D was the most notoriously lame sequel in the Friday the 13th film series during the 1980s. Not only was it part of the laughable 1980s attempt to revive the 3-D craze of the 1950s but it’s also infamous for its DISCO VERSION of the iconic Friday the 13th theme. However it’s essential viewing for horror fans because it was the first time Jason Voorhees put on the hockey mask that is so closely associated with the character.    Continue reading

FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH: 1907 NOVEL

friday-the-thirteenth-novelFRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH (1907) – Written by Thomas William Lawson, a writer and stock manipulator who made a fortune from shady stock deals … in between advocating for cleaning up Wall Street to shut down those fleece jobs. The reforms Lawson campaigned for were taken up decades later when Franklin Roosevelt appointed future Supreme Court Justice William O Douglas to head the Securities Exchange Commission.

Coincidentally enough the overall feel of Friday the Thirteenth put me in mind of FDR’s cousin, Theodore Roosevelt. The novel did that with its New York setting, with the way the story takes place late in T.R.’s presidency and most especially with the way it dealt with ethics in the marketplace.  

lawson-cartoon-betterJim Randolph, one of the novel’s main characters, is in the T.R. mold: he may be a bloated rich pig but at least he’s a bloated rich pig with a sense of noblesse oblige. Jim shares Teddy Roosevelt’s disdain for the Trusts and for con men who use the stock market to rip off their clients.

It’s not as if Jim Randolph is as fiery as Teddy Forstmann was in his opposition to Leveraged Buy Outs during the 1980s, but like Forstmann he has a sense of what makes for a healthy economy and frowns upon the fly-by-night operators who thrive on irresponsible “frenzied finance” as Randolph calls it.   Continue reading

PENNSYLVANIA JUDGE RULES IN FAVOR OF TRUMP: ELECTION 2020 NOT FINAL

STOP THE STEAL SITE.      PROTECT THE  VOTE SITE.   MILLION MAGA MARCH ON WASHINGTON THIS SATURDAY (Other locations are available for those who can’t join us in DC).    JOE CHEATED SITE

Stop the Steal signA Pennsylvania Judge has ruled in favor of President Trump in a case that has wide-ranging implications as it affects the broader strategy and issues going forward in this contested election. Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog has been amazed in the past 9 days over how utterly uninformed anti-Trump loons are when it comes to the basic procedures of our presidential elections. They don’t seem capable of comprehending that the Electoral College doesn’t meet until December 14th or understanding what “certifying” a state’s voting results means. 

Trump in the wayVery odd, considering that just 4 years ago Hillary Clinton and her supporters had recounts done in multiple states AND did videos (with clueless “celebrities” of course) urging members of the Electoral College to “Do the right thing” and NOT cast their votes for Donald Trump.

To add threats and intimidation into the mix Hillary supporters even exposed the names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of Electors. Since then Democrat fascists have refused to accept the 2016 election results. Yet now, as de facto Third Party President Trump is taking perfectly legal steps here in 2020 they act outraged. Hilarious.

And the Democrats’ media outlets lied AGAIN. The USPS whistleblower has NOT recanted his witness account. Wow. Their lies get easier to disprove.

Plus Michigan voters have filed a lawsuit that affects over a million votes in that state.  Continue reading

REVIEW OF GULLIVAR JONES ON MARS (1905): PART TWO

GULLIVAR JONES ON MARS (1905) – Written by Edwin L Arnold. In Part One of this review I explored this novel’s alternate titles and its cult reputation, plus the controversy which used to rage over whether or not Edgar Rice Burroughs may have read this work and gained inspiration for certain elements of his John Carter of Mars series. I also dealt with the end of that controversy when it became better known that BOTH Arnold and Burroughs may have been inspired by Gustavus Pope’s 1894 novel Journey to Mars.

Here in Part Two is the review proper, including revisions I would have made to Edwin Arnold’s incredibly flawed story. 

Gullivar and woman he with back to usGullivar Jones on Mars starts out in the late 1860s or early 1870s with U.S. Navy Lieutenant Gullivar Jones, a veteran of the Union forces in the Civil War, in New York City on shore leave. He comes into possession of a Turkish rug with unexplained mystical powers. While standing on the unrolled rug he wishes he was on Mars and the flying carpet transports him there. (?)

REVISION: I would keep all of Gullivar Jones’ background info the same, but instead of the Turkish rug I would have him be one of many New Yorkers drawn to a strange spacecraft which lands near the docks. The daring Jones would climb into the remote-controlled vessel, which would trap him inside, sedate him with gas and then fly off back to Mars. Continue reading

2020 ELECTION UPDATE: SOME HOUSE AND SENATE RACES CONTINUE TO BE FINALIZED PLUS TRUMP AND BIDEN STANDINGS

mascot donkey and republican headsYes, the same Democrat media outlets which try to pretend the 2020 Presidential race is complete continue to report on the still-outstanding results from Congressional races around the country. As of this writing this is where things stand:

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES – The Trump Glow caused the Republicans to pick up – as of this counting – FIFTEEN seats, with some races still outstanding. Even if the R’s don’t regain any more they have already whittled down the Democrat edge in the House from 2018 rather than the supposed “anti-Trump” Blue Wave that pollsters and Democrats claimed was coming.

            Right now, per Real Clear Politics, the House stands at 218 Democrats, 208 Republicans with 9 races still waiting to be called. (But hey, Dems, keep pretending the Presidential race is over.) 

SENATE – With the latest Democrat admitting defeat in the Alaska race, the Senate stands at 50 Republicans and 48 Democrats with the 2 Georgia Seats outstanding. IF the recount going on in Georgia right now does not provide a clear winner in either race then both go to a runoff election in January.

PRESIDENT – With Alaska’s Electoral Votes just having been finalized for Trump, Biden has 259 Electoral votes (270 are needed for victory) and Trump has 217. Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina are still pending. (THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE DOESN’T MEET UNTIL DECEMBER 14th. IN 2000 AND 2016 AT THIS TIME, AL GORE AND HILLARY CLINTON WERE STILL CONTESTING THE OUTCOME SO IGNORE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TRUMP IS BEING OUT OF LINE.)

GOVERNORS – Republicans – 27  Democrats – 23

Stop the Steal signAND THERE ARE  MULTIPLE COURT CASES AND AUDITS OF COMPUTER “GLITCHES” STILL ONGOING.

NEGLECTED U.S. NAVAL BATTLES OF WORLD WAR ONE

Navy in World War OneBalladeer’s Blog features one last Veterans Day post for 2020. In keeping with my blog’s theme I will take a look at more military actions that don’t get the attention that others do. Here is a look at U.S. Navy battles of the First World War.

OCTOBER 15th, 1917 – America entered the war just six months earlier and the Navy had been transporting the American Expeditionary Force under General “Black Jack” Pershing to Europe, with additional Navy craft escorting those transport ships and fighting German U-Boats. On this date the USS Cassin encountered U-Boat 61 and, after an hour’s pursuit the German submarine turned to fight the Cassin. After a lengthy exchange of torpedoes and depth charges the Cassin was battered but still afloat, while the U-61 suffered substantial damage also, including the destruction of its conning tower, forcing the sub to break off the action and flee.

NOVEMBER 17th, 1917 – The USS Fanning and USS Nicholson clashed with the German U-Boat designated U-58 when eagle-eyed sailors spotted the German sub’s periscope above the water line. Depth charges from the two U.S. ships damaged the U-58 and forced it to surface and engage in standard ship-to-ship combat. The Fanning and Nicholson sank the U-Boat, becoming the FIRST United States ships to Continue reading
