MUSLIM ATROCITY ROUNDUP: JULY 10th

Islamophobia posterIt is ALWAYS Muslims and ONLY Muslims who commit large numbers of terrorist attacks in every country they spread to. Countries around the world NEVER have this problem with Hindu immigrants or Buddhist immigrants, etc. Democrats embrace and support ONLY the most violent Muslims.  

Here at Balladeer’s Blog I have covered many, many Muslims and Muslim groups who WANT to live in the 21st Century and who DO NOT want to impose their belief system on others. Such Muslims get scorned by the Democrats and the political left around the world.

Democrats often won’t even let such Muslims speak on our college campuses here in the U.S. The Democrats encourage the notion that ONLY Muslims who hate the Western World and who want to live in the 7th Century are “authentic” voices. They dismiss freedom-minded Muslims as “Western Triumphalists” who have “internalized Western Oppression.”

islam-and-violenceMeanwhile Democrats, Labour and similar political parties give license to the most violent Muslim fascists to commit whatever outrages they like with the full knowledge that they (Democrats, Labour, etc) will lend legitimacy to those outrages.     

Here are just a few of the recent atrocities committed by the most homophobic, misogynistic and otherwise intolerant religion in the world at this particular time:

June 23rd: Tal Adda, Pakistan: Once the flood of Muslim immigrants reaches sufficient numbers the host country also sees more and more violent attacks of Muslims on Muslims who don’t happen to worship the exact same way their attackers do. Muslim country Pakistan yet again saw such an attack as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, one of the affiliates in the Global Muslim Fascist Murder Machine, used bombs to kill SEVENTY-TWO innocent people and injure TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE more.

Yeah, who needs to vet Muslim immigrants to see which murderous faction they might be affiliated with?

June 28th: Marawi, Philippines – Muslim fascists killed SEVENTEEN innocent people for not being Muslims. COEXISTENCE! Continue reading →

PRESIDENT TRUMP STILL SUPPORTING THE VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIME

Trump and victims familiesUnited States President Donald Trump – our de facto Third Party President – continues to fix so many of the problems caused by the disastrous Barack Obama. This pic features him with the loved ones of victims of illegal immigrant crime.

Obama or Hillary would have instead posed with the rapists and murderers who are in the U.S. illegally.

Trump-o-crats and Re-Trump-licans are enjoying the way this “Richard Channing from Falcon Crest” President constantly trolls our insane media and sticks it to the corrupt Democrats and Republicans.

Mascot with demo and repub heads

Trump-haters continue to froth at the mouth and ineffectually gnaw at the President’s ankles. They also try selling us on their biased “polls.” Uh, yeah. The same polls that claimed Hillary was going to become President. (LMFAO)

Pieces of garbage like Republican Paul Ryan and Democrat Nancy Pelosi fall all over themselves opposing President Trump, who is doing more for the working class and the poor in this country than any president since possibly Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

CAPTAIN JONATHAN HARADEN: REVOLUTIONARY WAR PRIVATEER

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! As another seasonal post Balladeer’s Blog examines the Revolutionary War career of Captain Jonathan Haraden.

Captain Jonathan Haraden“THE SALAMANDER” – Previously I covered  Haraden’s career in the Massachusetts Navy as First Lieutenant and later Captain of the legendary  commerce raider Tyrannicide.  After two years on board that vessel, by the summer of 1778 Captain Haraden left the Massachusetts Navy to command the privateer ship the General Pickering. Haraden’s fame would fly even higher as he earned the nickname “The Salamander,” a play on words regarding his ability to withstand fire.

Jonathan captained his new craft on voyages which saw him serving as a virtual blockade runner and smuggler on his outgoing trips, transporting American goods for his syndicate to be sold in Europe. On the return trips the General Pickering would capture a prize or two for the usual division of shares that made privateering very, very lucrative. 

crossed cutlassesAlways a consummate swashbuckler, Haraden would sometimes capture a British prize even while transporting a cargo across the Atlantic. Off Sandy Hook, NJ on October 13th, 1779 the good captain added to his legend by taking on THREE British privateer vessels at once. The Brits outgunned the 16-cannon General Pickering by 14, 10 and 8 cannons but the Salamander coolly emerged triumphant and towed in all three defeated craft. Continue reading →

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY 2017

American flagBalladeer’s Blog wishes a happy birthday to the USA! What happened in early July of 1776 certainly needs no rehashing so in keeping with my blog’s theme of addressing more out of the way subjects this post will examine various events that took place on other July 4th’s throughout American history.

JULY 4TH, 1778 – George Rogers Clark led his rebel forces in taking the British stronghold of Kaskaskia, near the confluence of the Mississippi and Kaskaskia Rivers. Clark and his Rangers were on a mission for then-Virginia Governor Patrick Henry.

JULY 4TH, 1783 – The Massachusetts Supreme Court is finalizing its written decision holding that slavery has been illegal in the state since adoption of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights in 1780.

JULY 4TH, 1788 – Continue reading →

THE TYRANNICIDE: COMMERCE RAIDER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR

TyrannicideThe Fourth of July is fast approaching! Balladeer’s Blog presents another seasonal post in honor of that upcoming holiday.

THE TYRANNICIDE – I can’t think of a better name for a ship serving as either a commerce raider or a privateer in the Revolutionary War. What makes the Tyrannicide one of my favorite plunder vessels of our rebellion against Great Britain is the name, its exploits and the fact that it was launched from Salisbury, MA on July 8th, making it about as close as you could get to America’s national birthday.  

This ship, crewed by 75 men, was a 14-cannon sloop which preyed on British targets from July of 1776 until August 14th, 1779. After its launch from the Salisbury Naval Shipyard the Tyrannicide made Salem, MA its homeport.  

The Tyrannicide wasted no time, battling the HMS Dispatch on July 12th. The Dispatch boasted 20 cannons but after an hour & a half battle fell to Tyrannicide under its first Captain, John Fisk. The raider towed this prize into Salem by July 17th and soon set out for more.  

August of 1776 saw the ship working the waters off Cape Sable and Nantucket. During that time three more prizes fell to Tyrannicide – the Glasgow, the Saint John and the Three Brothers. Continue reading →

NEW HAMPSHIRE: DECLARATION SIGNERS

New HampshireWith the July 4th Holiday hurtling toward us here is a look at the men from the New Hampshire delegation to the Continental Congress in 1776. These were the individuals who signed America’s Declaration of Independence. 

NEW HAMPSHIRE – 

1. Josiah Bartlett – This M.D. went on to serve as a military doctor for the American forces and was present at the Battle of Bennington, where General John Stark said “Live free or die”, which saying became the New Hampshire state motto.

TRUMP-HATERS SAY “WHO CARES” TO THE VICTIMS OF OBAMACARE

Obamacare corpseOne of the most nauseating qualities of Democrats that has driven away so many of us is their hypocritical way of ignoring the victims of their own policies while shrieking in phony outrage about policies proposed by anyone else.

Watching Democrats and other Trump-Haters pretending to actually care about health care for the poor is especially laughable. For those of us who saw friends and/or loved ones suffering because of Barack Obama’s destruction of the health care system, if any of those hypocrites want to discuss what’s going on –  FIRST …

 I want to know why Democrats and other Trump-haters didn’t get as vocal about the countless numbers of people who died and suffered because of Obamacare. From the very beginning regarding Obama’s lie “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” they remained silent.

obama obamacare jokeI want to know why they refuse to address the countless suffering people who – because of Obamacare – lost plans they could afford and had to buy plans that killed their monthly budgets.

I want to know why we never heard from them about the countless people who had their yearly deductible go up so high that they might as well have been paying double or triple payments per month.

I want to know why they never shed one tear over the people whose prescriptions were not covered under their new plans, unlike the plans they “liked” – which Obama lied about them being able to keep.

Obama peace prizeI want to know if the Democrats and other Trump haters EVER feel a spontaneous, genuine human emotion or if they are only capable of this faux outrage they manufacture whenever they want to blame something on someone else.

I want to know why they feel people who suffered and died under Obamacare don’t count as much as people who might face similar situations under other healthcare plans that are being worked on. Continue reading →

MUSLIM RAMADAN MURDER-PALOOZA 2017: FINAL BODY COUNT

Islam no democracy just IslamWho can say how many of us will be killed by Muslim fascists between now and next Ramadan? Whether it’s us or some of our loved ones who die one thing remains certain: before our/their dead bodies have a chance to cool the gutless apologists for Islam will be defending our/their killers.

And those same political robots will badger and harass those who mourn us to try to browbeat them into never using the words “Islam” or “Muslim” when referring to the murderous animals responsible.

But Ramadan 2017 ended a few days ago, so here’s our final body count:

PEOPLE KILLED IN TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE NAME OF ALL OTHER RELIGIONS DURING RAMADAN 2017: 0 … ZERO … NONE.

PEOPLE KILLED IN TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE NAME OF ISLAM DURING RAMADAN 2017: ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED NINETY-FIVE PLUS OVER ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SIXTY INJURED. 

June 23rd: Tal Adda, Pakistan – Even in Muslim nations Muslim fascists kill other Muslims for not worshipping the exact same way they do. So if you think converting to Islam will save you, forget it! On this date Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the local affiliate of the Global Muslim Fascist Murder Machine, used bombs to kill SIXTY-SEVEN innocent people and injure TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE more.   Continue reading →

TRUMP GOES 4-0 IN THE SPECIAL ELECTIONS

Jon Ossoff lossAnd the laughs keep coming here as the white-collar criminals of America’s 3rd World level cesspool of corruption  suffered ANOTHER defeat this week. Those bought and paid-for crooks had made yet another Special Election – this one in Georgia – all about our de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. 

The Trump-haters STILL cannot get over Hillary’s humiliating loss to the Donald last November. For the fourth time they poured literally MILLIONS into the Georgia race, tying the Republican candidate Karen Handel to President Trump and trying to outrightly buy the election.

Shallow celebrities made their usual “Trump is the AntiChrist” ads for the Democrat, who, typical of that Party of the Rich, DIDN’T EVEN REALLY LIVE IN THE DISTRICT! The corporate media’s rigged polls AGAIN predicted a win for the anti-Trump candidate only to be wrong, wrong, wrong.

That same corporate media has been very quiet about the way the Democrats lost all four races because the Trump candidates all won. If even ONE of the Trump-Hating candidates had won you can bet the media would be trumpeting it every hour of the day, claiming it showed that Trump was mere moments away from destruction.
