Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog it’s time for another installment of “Has to be Said.”
PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO READ MEDIA OUTLETS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE. I’ve pointed out several times that since I’m an Independent Voter I read everything I can from both Democrat media outlets and Republican media outlets. (No, media outlets are not unbiased now, nor were they EVER. I vented about that HERE.)
I have bashed presidents and other politicians from both major parties in the U.S. I can provide links to my blog posts in which I have slammed Republicans AND Democrats over the years, and that is something that people who try trolling me cannot say for themselves.
And I’ve also mentioned that I go after whichever party is being worse at the time. If I was writing this blog post during the time of the execrable George W. Bush I’d be focusing on bashing him. I wouldn’t be dissuaded by people saying “Hey, how come you only bash one side?” Similarly, as authoritarian, destructive and intolerant as Democrats are right now and have been for a very long time they deserve to be called out.
Seeing the way a lot of Americans and many people overseas so blindly fall into a “smirking jackass attitude” whenever Democrat media outlets (which the clueless Republican Party has allowed to vastly outnumber their own media outlets) choose to distort the words of a political figure. To avoid using a Trump example, since many otherwise reasonable people become raving loons at the mention of his name, here’s an example from years before President Trump even ran for office.
*** One of America’s female Republicans (which one is not important to this example) was speaking at a Tea Party event and closed by exhorting her audience to “Party like it’s 1773.”
Democrat snob
Democrats all across the media and the internet had a field day ridiculing the woman for saying that. In their usual prickish, pompous manner American leftists assumed the woman had meant to say 1776, which was the year the Declaration of Independence was signed, but NOT the year of the Boston Tea Party. Democrat asses repeated their snobbish “Republicans are stupid” meme over and over again because of her reference, which they clearly misunderstood.
Actually, since the Boston Tea Party, the event the Tea Party takes its name from, happened in 1773 – NOT 1776 – the Republican woman had the right year. That simple fact was lost and/or ignored in the slew of jokes about how “historically illiterate” Republicans supposedly were for defending the woman. Talk shows, news shows, internet humor outlets all ran with the usual “Republicans are morons” sentiment for several days.
Let me emphasize this for overseas readers: the people who had the historical reference RIGHT became national laughingstocks and were being ridiculed as “stupid” by the people who were WRONG about the historical reference. And those wrong people included plenty from other countries. Continue reading
Another current events roundup courtesy of 
** In the 2020 presidential debates, various anti-Trumpers pushed the now-debunked notion that the Biden Family Scandals exposed on Hunter Biden’s laptop were “Russian disinformation.” This 2024 edition 
** Just as the people who run the Republican Party will apparently never learn their lesson about keeping up with the Democrats in the Media Arms Race, they will apparently never learn their lesson about presidential debates. 
** The obscene way that Kamala and her two moderator-partners in the debate ridiculed the situation in Ohio was just another example of what we have seen over and over again. The propagandists called the media will mock something Trump says, then weeks or months later the corrections finally emerge showing that Trump was right regarding what he said. 
Time for another current events 
KAMALA HARRIS’ ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CONTINUE TO DESTROY LIVES AND MORE. * Harris-Biden DOJ caught covering up the names of illegals linked to terrorism 
* Another PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED illegal arrested over two children – ages 7 and 9 – found chained up in their Virginia apartment 
The Democrats and their media outlets, which still drastically outnumber Republican outlets, have been increasing the number of hysterical anti-Trump lies lately. Anyone who still believes anti-Trump tall tales at this point is a Trump-hater who simply WANTS to believe the falsehoods. 
Time for another current events 
HERE IN 2024 DEMOCRATS HAVE PROVEN THAT AS FOOLISH AS THE SENTIMENT “MY COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG” MAY BE, THE SENTIMENT “OUR POLITICAL PARTY, RIGHT OR WRONG” IS FAR MORE FOOLISH AND DESTRUCTIVE. Democrats have no individual opinions. They are so insecure and so incapable of defending their opinions that they constantly take shelter in the Hivemind, parroting the talking points of The Party no matter how irrational or intolerant. 
DEMOCRATS WANT A COUNTRY IN WHICH ONLY THEIR OPINIONS ARE LEGAL. The fascists called American Democrats conjure up reasons why EVERY opinion they spout must never be challenged or else it’s Hate Speech. Weaselly Democrats will pretend to find that remark unfounded, but it’s not. 
Transing children? Nope. Democrat fascists insist that disagreeing is “transphobic” and arguing against it is “hatred.” The ridiculous Democrat claim that people who aren’t white aren’t capable of racism? Nope. Democrat fascists insist that disagreeing with such nonsense is “racist”. The Democrat belief that if a man pretends he is a woman then anyone who points out that having a penis and/or XY chromosomes proves that false should be censored, censured and, increasingly, have the authorities sicced on them. Nope. Democrats want all dissent erased.
*** FIRST, A COMMENT REGARDING THE WAY DEMOCRAT CONVENTIONS AND DEMOCRAT CONFERENCES OF ALL KINDS SO OFTEN START BY STATING THEIR EVENT IS BEING HELD ON “STOLEN” LAND. Hey, that also means that all of the Democrats’ mansions and multiple homes are ALSO on “stolen” land. I call for Democrats to take the initiative and give up all of those extra homes to set an example for the rest of us. As a minimum, before ANY MORE finger-wagging lectures from privileged one-percenter entertainers or athletes I want an admission from them that their many properties stand on stolen land. 
*** NEXT, A RELEVANT ANECDOTE REGARDING AN EXCHANGE BETWEEN CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND BUSTER KEATON, BOTH OF WHOM I’M A FAN OF. Chaplin was proclaiming “What I want is that every child should have enough to eat, shoes on his feet and a roof over his head.” Keaton’s reply was “But Charlie, do you know anyone who doesn’t want that?” 
*** I USED TO BE A DEMOCRAT YEARS AGO. That was when the Democrats believed in freedom of expression and other long-held Civil Liberty principles that they have completely abandoned after becoming the Political Correctness Police in the 1990s and evolving into the intolerant Woke Fascists that they are today.
