DEMOCRAT BIGOTS ATTACK MARTIN LUTHER KING PERSON OF COURAGE VERNON JONES

Vernon JonesThe Democrats, the party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, the Trail of Tears, the Japanese Internment and so much more, continue to treat African-Americans as if they are still slaves on the Democrats’ plantations. Last week Georgia State Democrat Representative Vernon Jones (left) endorsed de facto Third Party President Donald Trump instead of the Democrats’ probable candidate Joe Biden.

Per the Democrats at the Atlanta Journal Constitution and at The Hill:

Trump and black support“Jones told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he was not switching parties but praised Trump’s policies on certain issues.

“It’s very simple to me. President Trump’s handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign,” Jones told the newspaper.

“There are a lot of African Americans who clearly see and appreciate he’s doing something that’s never been done before,” Jones added. “When you look at the unemployment rates among black Americans before the pandemic, they were at historic lows. That’s just a fact.” […]

Trump black supporters even more“A generation of African American families have been devastated by draconian policies that Joe Biden supported and voted for when he served in the U.S. Senate,” Jones said in a statement to CBS 46. “A change was needed and President Trump took action.”

That was just last week. Privileged white Democrats have since hounded the courageous Jones, as usual implying that any voters of color who disobey white Democrats are not “authentic.”

All for TrumpIn resigning his office today Jones stated “Turn the lights off, I have left the plantation.” (NOTE FOR OVERSEAS READERS: “Leaving the plantation” imagery is often used by heroic African-Americans who quit the Democrat party over its racism and its fascist attacks against those people of color who refuse to obey that political party.)

“I don’t plan to leave the Democratic Party because somebody’s got to be in there to hold them accountable —hold them accountable to how they are treating black people (and) root out the bigotry,” Jones said on The Rashad Richey Morning Show shortly after announcing his resignation. 

“I intend to help the Democrat Party get rid of its bigotry against Black people that are independent … ” Jones said in the statement announcing his resignation. “I endorsed the White guy (Donald J. Trump) that let Blacks out of jail, and they endorsed the White guy (Joe Biden) that put Blacks in jail.” Continue reading →

GEORGES (1843): ALEXANDRE DUMAS NOVEL ABOUT A SWORDSMAN FIGHTING SLAVERY

Mascot sword and pistolAlexandre Dumas pere is synonymous with swashbuckling historical adventures like The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Man in the Iron Mask.

His name became SO associated with swordplay and intrigue that even a Dumas novel like The Corsican Brothers, which in reality lacks any true action elements, has long been adapted as if it’s a swashbuckler. That’s a shame since there are other novels by Alexandre Dumas which are loaded with action and historical intrigue yet have been largely overlooked when it comes to movies and television. 

GeorgesGEORGES (1843) – Published just one year before The Three Musketeers, this novel is not only a rollicking adventure full of action, romance and double-crosses but it deals with racial issues in such a way that you would have thought it would have been adapted for film four or five decades ago. The title character uses his sword to fight slavery!  Continue reading →

JOE BIDEN: SEVENTEEN INCOHERENT MINUTES WITH THE SENILE AND/ OR DEMENTED CANDIDATE

Joe Biden senile manThank you to the BERNIE BROS who brought this video to my attention. It’s yet ANOTHER look at the incoherent ramblings of the senile, crooked and inept presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Even though Bernie’s out, his supporters are still making the perfectly valid point that Joe Biden’s cognitive problems are as bad as the trail of corruption he has left behind him. Here is just ONE of the videos with the doddering fool Biden in action. #WALKAWAY

FOOL KILLER THIRTY-NINE: SEPTEMBER 1910

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT, CLICK HERE

Fool Killer timelessPART THIRTY-NINE – Some of the Fool Killer’s targets in the September of 1910 issue of James Larkin Pearson’s Fool-Killer: 

*** The scholar and philosopher William James, brother of Henry and Alice James, for his speculation that after death a soul could communicate or even return to the world of the living. (This was an exaggeration of James’ beliefs for comedic effect.) A fictional cult of William James was proposed, waiting to hear from the late philosopher or for his actual return from the dead. James had died in late August. 

Fool Killer 1920s*** “Republocrats,” as Pearson and his Fool Killer called the corrupt fraternity of career politicians/ career criminals who belonged to the two gangs called Democrats and Republicans. Today the term is spelled “Republicrats.”

*** American colleges and universities, for what Pearson and his Fool Killer ALREADY saw as their over-emphasis on football instead of academics. That trend intensified in the coming decades. Continue reading →

MORE DEMOCRATS REBEL AGAINST PELOSI AND SCHUMER’S BLOCKING OF FUNDS TO CONTINUE TRUMP’S PAYROLL PROTECTION PROGRAM

mascot new look donkey and elephant headsBalladeer’s Blog is always emphasizing how out-of-date the traditional “shirts vs skins” two-party system is in the U.S. You would think that Democrats could set aside partisan politics when it comes to President Trump’s FDR-style Payroll Protection Program, but no, as many have noted, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are AGAIN strategizing to try holding the country hostage by blocking the renewal funds for the Program.

Courageous Democrat Senators like Tina Smith and Kyrsten Sinema have criticized the cruel obstructionism of their party’s leadership (link below), with Sinema even calling to renew the funds the swiftest way – through unanimous consent for the PPP with no debates even considering the corrupt Schumer’s proposed deal-breakers.

THE GUARDIAN’S MELANIE PHILLIPS: “WHY I LEFT THE LEFT”

Melanie PhillipsBalladeer’s Blog remains the only site on the web that equally criticizes BOTH the political left and the political right. Here is a terrific interview with Melanie Phillips on her disillusionment with the UK’s news outlet The Guardian. Like so many of us she reflects on the totalitarian nature of the left and how it has driven us away.

Intolerance, fanaticism and black-listing are intolerance, fanaticism and black-listing no matter which side of the political spectrum is pushing them. Phillips describes it as her journey “from fantasy to reality.” Continue reading →

FOOL KILLER THIRTY-EIGHT: AUGUST 1910

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT, CLICK HERE

Fool Killer timelessPART THIRTY-EIGHT – Some of the Fool Killer’s targets in the August of 1910 issue of James Larkin Pearson’s Fool-Killer:

*** The owners of mills and sweatshops in which children age 10 and under worked under grueling conditions. (Child labor was not yet against the law.) Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog will recall that child labor was one of the MAJOR beefs of Klarenc Wade Mak’s 1917 Fool Killer.

*** Lobbyist Jake L Hamon Sr, who was accused by Senator Thomas Gore (author Gore Vidal’s maternal grandfather) of offering him a $25,000.00 bribe. The alleged bribe was for Gore to vote in favor of a land purchase that attorney J.M. McMurray was trying to make from the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes. Hamon allegedly stood to earn 10 percent of the Thirty Million Dollar deal.

Fool Killer condensed*** Senator Gore himself, for muddying the waters of his own accusations by accusing Vice President James S Sherman of an illicit interest in the land deal. Gore wound up having to admit that his accusation was based on hearsay.

*** “Frenzied Financiers” – the name for shady Wall Street dealers who exploited loopholes to fleece their clients and endanger the economy. (See my review of the 1907 novel Friday the Thirteenth for more details on Frenzied Finance.)

*** President William Howard Taft, whom Pearson and his Fool Killer accurately predicted would NOT get reelected in 1912. Continue reading →

MARTIN LUTHER KING PERSON OF COURAGE KAREN WHITSETT ON TRUMP AND CORONAVIRUS

Karen WhitsettDemocrat State Representative Karen Whitsett of Michigan has credited President Trump and his touting of hydroxychloroquine with saving her life as she recently combated the coronavirus.

(Link below)

Donald Trump never called racist till running against DemocratsWhitsett courageously went non-partisan and publicly stated she would not have thought to ask for it (hydroxychloroquine) if President Trump had not touted its benefits as a possible coronavirus treatment.

“It has a lot to do with the president … bringing it up,” Whitsett said. Her body reacted to the hydroxychloroquine fairly quickly. According to Whitsett, “It was less than two hours” when she started to feel relief. Continue reading →

LAUGHING AT JOE BIDEN’S IDIOCY IS THE BEST MEDICINE

Joe Biden faceSomething which has united many people under the current circumstances is our shared laughter at the hapless, clueless Joe Biden. Thank you to the BERNIE BROS who notified me about Biden’s latest farcical attempt to pretend he’s not senile and that he’d be capable of handling national affairs.

JOE BIDEN’S LATEST ABSURD PRONOUNCEMENT ON THE CORONAVIRUS WAS THIS:

“WE CANNOT LET THIS, WE’VE NEVER ALLOWED ANY CRISIS FROM THE CIVIL WAR STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE PANDEMIC OF 17, ALL THE WAY AROUND, 16, WE HAVE NEVER, NEVER LET OUR DEMOCRACY SAKES SECOND FIDDLE, WAY THEY, WE CAN BOTH HAVE A DEMOCRACY AND … CORRECT THE PUBLIC HEALTH.” (video below)

#WalkAwayUh, yeah, Joe. Stirring words, indeed. BERNIE BROS, you are justified in your outrage over the Democrats rigging the 2020 nomination in favor of the senile blithering idiot Joe Biden instead of your candidate Bernie Sanders. #WALKAWAY, Bernie Bros, #WALKAWAY like the rest of us.

I guess Biden’s slogan will be “You can’t spell dementia without d-e-m!”
