TRUMP CREATES ORGANIZATION TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT VIOLENCE

map-of-crime-and-democratsSomething that Trump-Haters don’t understand is the fact that, unlike California President Hillary Clinton would be doing, he expresses sympathy for the VICTIMS of illegal immigrants who repeatedly commit violent crimes. It has been extensively documented that many of those Felons Without Borders were caught multiple times during the Obama years but were simply released over and over again.

Donald Trump, as a de facto Third Party President, took an action that NO Democrat or Republican president would ever have taken. He diverted taxpayer funds AWAY from lawyers for illegal immigrant felons and into VOICE, a support organization for the victims of illegal immigrant crime. Continue reading

MUSLIM ATROCITY ROUNDUP: FEBRUARY 24th

islam-sharia-free-zoneSweden is still in turmoil from all the Muslim violence, rioting and raping that America’s corporate media pretends isn’t happening. If anyone is skeptical about the Muslim actions there I will be glad to add Sweden to the list of nations where I cover Muslim atrocities.

Islam is the most misogynistic, homophobic and otherwise intolerant religion in the world at this particular time. And the way Islam insists on marrying religion to government makes it a fascist and totalitarian movement that needs to be opposed loudly and daily. Muslim Violence Awareness Year continues with this look at just a FEW of the most recent atrocities by Muslims.

islam-gene-wilderFebruary 16th: Sehwan, Pakistan – Muslim fascist bombers killed EIGHTY-EIGHT innocent people and injured over TWO HUNDRED FIFTY more. 

February 19th: Mogadishu, Somalia – An Islamofascist suicide bomber killed THIRTY-FOUR innocent people and injured over FIFTY more.  Continue reading

MERCHANT SHIPS (424-421 B.C.) BY ARISTOPHANES

With Boycott-mania sweeping the country what better time for this look at the fragmentary remains of this ancient Greek Comedy by Aristophanes?

Ancient Greek Merchant Ship

Ancient Greek Merchant Ship

Balladeer’s Blog presents another examination of an ancient Greek political satire. In this case it is one of those works of Aristophanes which have survived only in very fragmentary condition.

MERCHANT SHIPS  

Merchant Ships was written and publicly staged in approximately 424 B.C. to 421 B.C. according to the available data. It was another of Aristophanes’ comedies protesting the pointlessness of the Greek city-states warring among themselves instead of uniting against the encroachments of the Persian Empire.

I can’t help but view this particular comedy in light of my own country’s current plight of having the rival criminal gangs called the Democratic and Republican Parties pointlessly rob the country blind and run it into the ground while virtually ignoring external threats.

In this comedy the captains of two separate merchant ships – one from Athens and one from their foe Sparta – have grown weary of the pointless conflict and make a separate peace with each other. They and their crew members get to spend the play enjoying the food and drink from their cargoes and living out a metaphorical return to the prosperous days before the Peloponnesian War when peace reigned among the various Greek city-states.

Franchises aka Merchant Ships

For a modern-day adaptation (as opposed to a straight translation) the situation could be depicted by having a Chick Fil-A restaurant right next to a Starbucks coffee shop. The managers and employees of these stereotypically Republican (Chick Fil-A) and stereotypically Democratic (Starbucks) establishments could grow tired of the political feuding, especially since both political parties often call for boycotts of the opposing business.   Continue reading

FANTASTIC FILMS TO SHOCK HOLLYWOOD

Hollywoodland

Hollywoodland

Welcome back to Balladeer’s Blog, the only site on the web that is truly non-partisan in its criticism of Liberals and Conservatives.

As I have often pointed out in the past there are no such things as right and wrong, there are simply things that a culture finds acceptable and things that a culture frowns upon. Six decades ago Hollywood films conformed to the tired Conservative cliches of Eisenhower’s America and earlier years. Today Hollywood films conform to the tired Liberal cliches of the Political Correctness Police.

As always fringe filmmaking is where the courageous storytelling is to be found. The gutless, pandering Hollywood studios all make cookie- cutter movies lacking any sort of diversity in their worldview. Long ago it was uniformly mindless Conservative films being churned out by the dozens. In recent decades it’s been uniformly mindless Liberal films being churned out by the dozens. So let’s proceed with this light- hearted look at movies no Hollywood studio would touch today.

Crimson ImamNot Coming Soon – THE CRIMSON IMAM – A heroic Muslim woman dons a red costume and mask, then takes to the streets of her Muslim community punishing men who physically abuse women in the name of the outdated dictates of their religion.

Calling herself the Crimson Imam she becomes a nationwide role model and inspires a large-scale feminist movement within Islam. Eventually women and gay people are embraced by Islam, with female clergy and gay marriages commonplace and with abortion rights a new Muslim priority.

What You’d See Instead – THE CRIMSON NUN – A heroic Christian woman dons a red habit and mask, then takes to the streets of her Christian community punishing priests who molest children and Continue reading

LLOYD MARCUS DEFENDS TRUMP, WHILE ANTI-TRUMP LIES GROW MORE DERANGED BY THE DAY

lloyd-marcusLike Balladeer’s Blog pointed out last year the increasingly unhinged Anti-Trump Right, the American Left and their Corporate Media allies have accomplished the seemingly impossible: they’ve turned Donald Trump into a sympathetic underdog. 

This past weekend the Donald’s obsessed enemies from BOTH PARTIES distorted the President’s reference to the Muslim raping and violence in Sweden (supported by multiple reports over the years, especially recently following many Swedish police breaking their enforced silence). Since the Anti-Trump loons don’t feel that rapes and violent crimes count as “terrorism” they are pretending Trump was outrageously wrong.

Remember last year when a Muslim fascist used a makeshift explosive in New York City and Trump called it “a bomb” but our insane corporate media acted like Trump was “wrong” and “irresponsible” because they felt such a cobbled-together explosive device should not have been referred to as “a bomb.” Pro-Islamist Trump-haters aren’t shrewd political animals, they’re more like barely adequate proofreaders. If that.   

lloyd-marcus-2At any rate, Lloyd Marcus penned a terrific item defending Trump and pointing out how the members of America’s notoriously corrupt political establishment are waging a propaganda war on this de facto Third Party President.

The link is below but first some excerpts:

“There is an unprecedented effort by the fake news media; Obama; George Soros; the Democratic Party, conservative NeverTrumps; establishment elites; Hollywood; assorted leftist groups; and traitorous GOP Washington, D.C. status quo defenders to take down our new president.”

“Am I advocating that we blindly rubber-stamp everything Trump does?  Absolutely not.  I am saying it emboldens our enemies when folks on our side join leftists in nitpicking Trump at every turn.  Obviously, NeverTrumps still do not realize what’s at stake and the evil we are dealing with on the left.”

“Leftists deem causing pain, suffering, and the loss of American lives minor consequences …”

lloyd-marcus-3 Cancer patients lost their life-saving doctors due to Obamacare.  Leftists didn’t care.  Four Americans were tortured and murdered in Benghazi for Obama’s re-election.  Not only did leftists not care, but Obama’s minions repeatedly lied about it on national TV.”

“If leftists care about American lives, why do they celebrate Democrats refusing to pass Kate’s Law, which protects Americans from illegal alien multiple criminal offenders?”

AND STILL ANOTHER FORMER LIBERAL SPEAKS OUT ON WHY HE GOT FED UP

why-i-left-the-leftTo give readers a break from my blog posts about how much contempt I’ve come to feel for the political left that I used to be a part of, I periodically post these articles about others who have come to feel the same way.

In this case it’s Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report fame. The link to the full item is below. First some excerpts:  

“Do you believe in free speech?

“Do you believe that people should be judged by their character, not their skin color?

“Do you believe in freedom of religion?

“If you believe these things, you’re probably not a progressive. You might think you’re a progressive. I used to think I was. My show, The Rubin Report, was originally part of the progressive The Young Turks network.

rubin-report“Progressives used to say, “I may disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it.” Not anymore.

“Banning speakers whose opinions you don’t agree with from college campuses – that’s not progressive.

“Prohibiting any words not approved of as ‘politically correct’ that’s not progressive.

“Putting ‘Trigger Warnings’ on books, movies, music, anything that might offend people – that’s not progressive either.

“All of this has led me to be believe that much of the Left is no longer progressive, but regressive. This is one of the reasons I’ve spent so much time on my show talking about The Regressive Left. Continue reading

A HERO AND HEROINE OF COLOR

Mascot with demo and repub heads

Balladeer’s Blog often covers the jumbling and shuffling going on in American politics right now. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump’s candidacies last year made it the first campaign season in a very long time in which the REAL issues that the VOTERS care about got discussed. Here are two more courageous people declaring their independence from traditional DemCorp and RepubCorp politics:

tim-scottTIM SCOTT – Senator Scott (R) from SC took to the Senate floor to discuss the way that freethinking African-Americans like himself get treated by DemoKKKrats for not obeying them like Barack Obama always did:

“The liberal left that speaks and desires for all of us to be tolerant, do not want to be tolerant of anyone that disagrees with where they are coming from,” Scott said. “So the definition of tolerance is not that all Americans experience a high level of tolerance, it is that all Americans who agree with [the left] experiences this so-called tolerance.”

Senator Scott also embarrassed the Senate DemoKKKrats by pointing out that, despite DemCorp’s constant talk of “diversity” that it’s actually the Senate Republicans that have diverse staffs, not the Democrats. Scott has a black chief of staff, which is a rarity among Senate Democrats. He also mentioned it in his remarks.

“My chief of staff, the only — until three weeks ago, the only African-American chief of staff in the United States Senate out of 100 is the chief of staff for a Republican,” he said. “The second African-American chief of staff in the United States Senate is also the chief of staff of a Republican.”

And I will once again point out that the Democrats are the party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, lynching, the Dred Scott Decision, and Jim Crow laws yet Democrats feel that their political party can simply say “Well, that was long ago. We’re better people now. But THE REST OF YOU AMERICANS bear collective guilt about slavery in perpetuity.”

No, DemoKKKrats, if your party can put those things behind you so can the rest of us. After all, your political party is THE ONE REMAINING INSTITUTION most associated with those racial outrages. Quit trying to lecture the rest of us about what YOUR POLITICAL PARTY was responsible for.

You want to REALLY “bury the racist past?” THEN CHANGE THE NAME AND SYMBOL OF YOUR POLITICAL PARTY! Continue reading

RESEARCH FELLOW: AMERICAN COLLEGES ARE CREATING A GENERATION OF BIGOTS

teresa-mullHere in (Ivory Tower)-land things become what they are called rather than being called what they are.” – From Aristophanes’ satire The Birds

Balladeer’s Blog has often covered the Faculty Lounge Fascists who pretend to be “educators” (LMFAO) at American colleges and universities. Those secular missionaries for the Democrats are either Left-Wing Archie Bunkers from the 1960s generation OR had the misfortune of being “educated” (LMFAO) by Left-Wing Archie Bunkers from the 1960s generation. 

Call them what you will but they continue to stand athwart the maturation process crying “halt,” to twist a very old saying. Below is a link to an article by Teresa Mull who discusses the closing of young minds on American campuses.

DR GAD SAAD DENOUNCES ANTI-TRUMP HYSTERIA AS “COLLECTIVE MUNCHAUSEN”

gad-saad“As somebody who escaped Lebanon and actually hid under desks to avoid death squads, I don’t take well to these idiots from Wellesley College who say, ‘I’m scared to go and buy my hamburgers now that Trump won,’ because it trivializes what true trauma is.” — Gad Saad

That quote from Dr Gad Saad nicely captures the contempt that so many around the world feel toward privileged Democrats in America because of their increasingly hysterical reactions to United States President Donald Trump’s defeat of California President Hillary Clinton.

Dr Saad is an authority on Behavioral Science and Evolutionary Psychology as well as the author of a column in Psychology Today. I appreciate the way that Saad always criticizes BOTH LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES just like Balladeer’s Blog does.

Recently Dr Saad was interviewed by Malhar Mali for Areo magazine. Below is a link to the entire interview but first some excerpts:

anti-trump-hysteria“Everyone who is suffering from collective Munchausen and mass hysteria are obviously of a particular political bent — the ultra-Left (who typically belong to the Democratic party). And these people have built their whole ethos, edifice, zeitgeist on Identity Politics. Identity Politics leads to victimology poker and the oppression olympics.

“These groups just end up competing to see who is more oppressed because it is the mechanism through which they attempt to solve problems. If you and I are having a genuine debate, I would present my evidence and you yours. The better evidence would win out.

“That’s not what happens in an Identity Politics debate. My victimology card has to trump yours! (Laughter) therefore people have to come up with ever stronger cards and hands and end up falling into victim mindsets.

anti-trump-hysteria-2“This leads to people thinking absurd lines of thought like — and I’m being satirical here — : “How will I go to the store and feel safe buying tomatoes once Trump is in office?” or “What will happen to my children? Will Trump cause us to cannibalize our children?” “Will sex still be permitted?”

“When you’re getting into that kind of delusional discourse it seems extraordinary that this is viewed as reasonable discourse. These are professors, these are colleagues of mine who feel perfectly comfortable departing from reality in this way.

“Hate Trump as much as you want. Hate specific policies by him but don’t engage in this grotesque discourse.

“The problem arises when you have a discourse fully detached from reality. It’s beyond satirical and grotesque in how much stupidity is exhibited. A typical comment on my social feed might state something to the following effect, “I’m a woman of color,” she’s attending some school in Maine and she’s saying, “I’m afraid. Can I still go to class?” Continue reading
