LOVE TRUMPS TRUMP-HATERS

mapAmerica’s laughably hysterical Trump-haters are as silly as religious fanatics with the way they act like they’re fit to judge what constitutes “love” and “hate.”

Conveniently enough, they define “hate” as any refusal to mindlessly agree with every single one of their political opinions. Their irrational, daily attacks on United States President Donald Trump are as much fun as watching a bad movie and laughing at it.

And as I often point out, none of us think President Trump is God almighty the way Obama’s ridiculous supporters thought about him. It’s just becoming harder and harder to ignore the fact that Trump-haters are, for the most part, callous, comfortable and uncaring people who despise the working class and the poor.

Bernie Sanders

BERNIE SANDERS CALLS ON DEMOCRATS TO STOP HATING – Bernie Sanders, the man from whom career criminal Hillary Clinton stole the Democrats’ nomination last year, AGAIN called upon Democrats to stop hating United States President Donald Trump’s supporters.

He also called for the Democrats to recast themselves as the party of the working class, rather than the “liberal elite” during a political rally Friday night in Boston. 

Navajo-Nation-OPVP-640x480NAVAJOS CELEBRATE PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDING OBAMA’S KILLING OF THEIR JOBS – The Navajo Nation is looking forward to working with United States President Donald Trump, who has already swept away many of Obama’s job-killing Executive Orders.

Russell Begaye, president of the Navajo Nation, said he is counting on the Trump administration’s resolve. “We are also optimistic about working with the Trump Administration to help our people given the President’s unwavering support …” he added. For his entire Op-Ed, click HERE  Continue reading

NON-MUSLIMS WHO WANT TO RETAIN THEIR OWN CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE NOT “ISLAMOPHOBIC”

Viktor OrbanAs the entire world has learned to its sorrow it is ALWAYS Muslim immigrants who refuse to assimilate and who try to force their new host countries to avoid offending their countless religious superstitions. (I’m an atheist so don’t bother trying to accuse me of being Christian or Jewish, etc)

EVERY country experiences the most trouble from its Muslim immigrants, largely because the political left’s parties in the Western World pander to only the worst and most violent Muslims. Muslims who WANT to assimilate are sneered at by American Liberals and dismissed as “Western Triumphalists” who have “internalized Western oppression.”

Poster Muslim womanTHIS IS ALWAYS THE ASPECT OF MUSLIM IMMIGRATION THAT GETS IGNORED. IT IS NOT REACTIONARY MUSLIMS ALONE WHO CAUSE THE PROBLEMS BUT THE POLITICAL PARTIES WHO ENCOURAGE ALL OF THE WORST ELEMENTS OF ISLAM. This toxic blend of Muslim fanatics and people who pretend to be Liberals always winds up resulting in the silencing of peaceful, civil Muslims and the elevation of violent Muslim fascists.

At any rate here are some excerpts from Hungary’s Viktor Orban regarding the way the political powers that be keep ramming large-scale Muslim immigration down the throats of the public. All while never expecting other, oil-rich Muslim nations to take in any of these “refugees” who are actually fit young men for the most part.

Muslim oppression 2“The main danger to Europe’s future does not come from those who want to come here, but from Brussels’ fanatical internationalism. We should not allow Brussels to place itself above the law. We shall not allow it to force upon us the bitter fruit of its cosmopolitan immigration policy.

“We shall not import to Hungary crime, terrorism, homophobia and synagogue-burning anti-Semitism. There shall be no urban districts beyond the reach of the law, there shall be no mass disorder, no immigrant riots here, and there shall be no gangs hunting down our women and daughters. We shall not allow others to tell us whom we can let into our home and country, whom we will live alongside, and with whom we will share our country.” Continue reading

SO NOW WE LEARN OBAMA REALLY WAS BUGGING TRUMP AFTER ALL

President trump saving childrenSo now we learn that yet again America’s unhinged corporate media and corrupt political establishment played a cutesy word game to pretend that United States President Donald Trump was wrong about something he was actually correct about. Remember when the media tried acting like President Trump was wrong about the Muslim situation in Sweden? And the Boeing situation?

Also, 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.” I could go on and on with other examples but we’ve all lived through them once already.

Well it turns out that President Trump was right about Obama and his fellow criminals bugging him but, Comey and others tried discrediting President Trump by playing the kind of word game that Mafiosi play on the witness stand.

donald-trump-and-flagTrump’s foes in America’s 3rd World Level swamp of corruption pretended that since the word “wiretap” no longer technically describes the type of electronic surveillance that Obama and our “intelligence community” thugs were subjecting President Trump to, that they were being “truthful” when they claimed there was no evidence of wiretapping. IN OTHER WORDS TRUMP WAS RIGHT AGAIN BUT HIS FOES IN BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES WERE ONCE AGAIN GIVING DECEPTIVE ANSWERS.

FOR OVERSEAS READERS I WILL POINT OUT AGAIN THAT IT ISN’T THAT ANY OF US THINK TRUMP IS A SAINT, IT’S JUST THAT OUR MEDIA AND THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT ARE SO LOATHSOME IT’S IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO ROOT FOR HIM AGAINST THEM.   Continue reading

AMERICA’S “EDUCATIONAL” SYSTEM AND OTHER JOKES

Mascot with demo and repub heads

The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party

The old saying “Those who CAN – do. Those who CAN’T – teach” is especially relevant given how Left-Wing Archie Bunkers from the 1960s generation distorted America’s educational system. The saying could be modified as “Those who CAN function in the real world and accept the fact that other adults are free to hold whatever opinions they like – DO. Those who CAN’T function in the real world and accept the fact that other adults are free to hold whatever opinions they like – TEACH.”

Well, okay, they don’t “teach” in any real sense of that word. They simply abuse their authority over students to brow-beat them into agreeing with their own political views. Part of this can be blamed on the lack of action taken by the political right.

Trust me, if high schools, colleges and universities ever get to the point where the teachers and administrative staff are roughly 90% or more Republicans instead of the current situation where they are roughly 90% or more Democrats, the political Left in America would have taken action LONG AGO!

Lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit would have been launched at the merest HINT of political bias in the curriculum. Terms like “viewpoint discrimination” or “viewpoint harassment” would already be cemented into law. Also, “Viewpoint Diversity Directors” would have been the Left’s latest job-scam and would occupy six-figure per year positions at schools. And the Left would have sold Democrat office-holders on the belief that educational institutions should be open for lawsuits if there is ever any sizable imbalance of political party affiliation in the faculty and administration members.  

Left-Wing Archie Bunkers would more than deserve it if things get to the point where the political Right uses their own vile tactics against them and makes it so that all reviews for grant money or such have to be subjected for approval to Viewpoint Diversity officials to make sure American Liberals aren’t letting their many, MANY political prejudices influence who gets research funds and who doesn’t. Hilarious. I would still OPPOSE it, but it would be well-deserved karmic justice. Continue reading

MUSLIM TERROR ATTACKS IN ENGLAND

london attacksElements of the Muslim Fascist Murder Machine struck in England today to commemorate the Muslim Fascist attack in Belgium a year ago. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.

The White House has released a brief readout describing the call between President Trump and the Prime Minister:

“President Donald J. Trump spoke today with Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom to offer his condolences on todays terror attack in London and his praise for the effective response of security forces and first responders.

“He pledged the full cooperation and support of the United States Government in responding to the attack and bringing those responsible to justice.”

And it's MuslimsIT IS A WELCOME CHANGE TO HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO SYMPATHIZES WITH THE INNOCENT VICTIMS OF MUSLIM TERROR ATTACKS, AND DOESN’T TRY TO SOFT-PEDAL THESE ATROCITIES LIKE BARACK OBAMA ALWAYS DID. Continue reading

MORE CONSERVATIVES REJECTING THAT OUTDATED LABEL

Mascot with demo and repub heads

The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party

Here at Balladeer’s Blog I continue to have the time of my life watching this period of political realignment unfold. In the tradition of my blog posts from American Liberals commenting on their disillusionment here is another item from an American Conservative  – Greg Richards – expressing their own disgust and disillusionment.

Former Conservatives like this have been driven away by the callous, comfortable and uncaring Conservatives like George Will, William Kristol, and the repulsive Bush family’s beloved Karl “The Hutt” Rove.

Greg Richards expresses particular contempt for National Review‘s Kevin Williamson, who outdid even American Liberals at expressing hatred for the working class in 2016. Williamson famously stated that working class communities “deserve to die”- and that’s AN EXACT QUOTE! 

At any rate the link to Greg Richards’ excellent piece is below, but first some excerpts:  

“Something unexpected has happened with the rise of Donald Trump.  The conservative movement has collapsed.” (Note from Balladeer: We should be so lucky.) 

“It turns out that the conservative movement was and is uninterested in the welfare of the United States as a nation.” 

“(T)hat is the wellspring of the hatred – there is no other word for it – the hatred toward Trump from every corner, every leader of the conservative movement and the conservative commentariat.  Not just disagreement, but hatred.”

“Conservative writers have taken economic optimization as the end goal of society, with everything else – everything else – to be disregarded and discarded.  The American people, once they found a leader (Trump) who recognized the consequences of this idea, if not a student of the philosophy behind it, roared back against this dark, savage dystopia that has nothing to do with the American dream.” Continue reading

MUSLIM ATROCITY ROUNDUP: MARCH 18th

Islamophobia posterIslam 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 AND insists that non-Muslims must live by Muslim rules 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.

March 17th: Paris, France – A Muslim fanatic knifed two innocent people to death. 

March 17th: Marib, Yemen – Muslim fascists used two rockets to kill THIRTY-FOUR innocent people.  Continue reading

I HAVE RACHEL MADDOW’S TAX RETURNS AND I’M NOT AFRAID TO USE THEM!

Rachel Maddow Chris HayesThe latest bit of Anti-Trump hysteria to backfire on his deranged critics came courtesy of Fake Reporter Rachel Maddow – whom I’ve always maintained is really Fake Reporter Chris Hayes. (Notice how you never see both Rachel and Chris at the same time?)

Maddow had another Trump-hater illegally rout Trump’s tax returns to her and then proved that she DOES NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO READ TAX RETURNS!  Rachel grandly announced she was going to expose Trump’s taxes, but, in one of the funniest acts of failed “reporting” since Geraldo Rivera opened Al Capone’s Vault, Maddow wound up VINDICATING TRUMP BY PROVING THAT HE PAID ALMOST FORTY MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES FOR JUST ONE YEAR!

Further proving that she did not understand how thoroughly she was clearing President Trump, Maddow blundered along until the nation and the internet were abuzz with the fact that Trump paid his taxes at A HIGHER PERCENTAGE THAN FELLOW TYCOONS BARACK OBAMA, BERNIE SANDERS, MITT ROMNEY AND MOST ACTORS AND SINGERS DO!

Many Left-Wing Archie Bunker sites trashed Maddow today for accidentally providing Trump with so much positive PR! I guess Rachel’s attitude was “We’ve got President Trump now! HE PAID HIS TAXES! … D’OH!”  Continue reading

LLOYD MARCUS ON THE SICKNESS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY

lloyd-marcus-3Balladeer’s Blog has previously showcased items by the courageous Lloyd Marcus. Here is another example of him absolutely nailing it when it comes to the rot and sickness which has driven so many of us away from the Democrats. The link is below, but first some excerpts:

“(E)very common sense thing Trump says he intends to do beneficial to America is vehemently opposed by the democrats. What on earth has happened to my dad’s Democrat Party? My fellow Americans, our greatest threat is not ISIS. It is the Democrat Party.”

“Here are just a few Trump putting America first promises that have enraged democrats, launching a scorched earth policy to stop him:

A new national pride is sweeping across our nation.” Democrat controlled public schools have been teaching our kids that patriotism is racist

Trump and quote“We’ve financed and built one global project after another, but ignored the fates of our children in the inner cities of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit—and so many other places throughout our land.” As an American who happens to be black, it baffled me for years why black democrats seemed content with cities they control like Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit becoming hellholes of black poverty and black on black crime. Then, it dawned on me. Democrat blacks are not black. They are first and foremost liberals who seek power via government control and dependency.

“…my Administration has answered the pleas of the American people for immigration enforcement and border security. By finally enforcing our immigration laws, we will raise wages, help the unemployed, save billions of dollars, and make our communities safer for everyone. We want all Americans to succeed –- but that can’t happen in an environment of lawless chaos. We must restore integrity and the rule of law to our borders.” 

“Folks, democrats say screw the law, screw jobs and screw national security. They want as many unskilled government dependent illegals flooding across our borders as possible. Obama spent a whopping $113 billion, $1,117 each, settling illegals into our country, priming them to become democrat voters.”
