SENATOR TIM SCOTT CALLS OUT PRIVILEGED WHITE DEMOCRAT CRITICS OF BLACK REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WINSOME SEARS FOR “COSPLAYING” JIM CROW. More HERE. Democrat racists STILL hate people of color who refuse to obey them about politics.

ARTHUR ENGORON, POLITICAL HACK MASQUERADING AS A JUDGE, GETTING DESERVED RIDICULE AND CRITICISM AFTER AGAIN BEING OVERRULED IN HIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL TARGETING OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.  

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES BLAST ANTI-TRUMP LOWER COURT JUDGES WHO ARE VIOLATING DECISIONS THE SCOTUS HAS ALREADY ADDRESSED JUST TO DRAG OUT THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Last week marked “the third time in a matter of weeks” the Supreme Court had to reverse a lower court on an issue it had already addressed just because their initial ruling went in favor of Trump.

           More HERE in an item that makes a persuasive case that a president would be justified in defying repeated illegal court orders from lower courts. Just cite the Supreme Court’s previous ruling as the reason for defying the overreaching lower court.

FACULTY LOUNGE FASCIST: DEMOCRAT “HISTORY TEACHER” – WHOSE CLASS HAS A SIXTY-NINE PERCENT FAILURE RATE – ABUSED HER AUTHORITY TO BROWBEAT A STUDENT SHE LABELED CONSERVATIVE AS “MOST LIKELY TO BECOME A DICTATOR.” The repulsive propagandist even provided a copy of the “award” to embarrass the student in front of the class. More HERE. The worst of the privileged white Democrats apparently drifted into “teaching”.  Continue reading

AUGUST TWENTY-SECOND ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Time once again for a current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

An arrested drunk? Nope, it’s the alleged judge.

APPEALS COURT THROWS OUT THE JUDGMENT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT WAS IMPOSED BY CORRUPT “JUDGE” ARTHUR ENGORON AND NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES DURING THE DEMOCRATS’ LAWFARE ATTEMPTS TO SABOTAGE TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN FOR REELECTION. Political hack Engoron was overturned AGAIN as rational people knew would happen from the beginning.

        Democrats flushed the justice system down the toilet in their unhinged political persecution of President Trump. The cases against him were clearly travesties all along. 

TRUMP WIN HAILED AS A VICTORY FOR “NOT JUST TRUMP, BUT FOR ALL AMERICANS HARMED BY THE FAR LEFT’S ILLEGAL LAWFARE.”   Marlow laid it out HERE

PRESIDENT TRUMP ADDS HIS OPINION ON THE OUTCOME. Needless to say, he doesn’t mince words. More HERE.

DHS AND ICE ANNOUNCE ARREST OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT JONATAN MONZON-OLIVARES, WHO ALREADY HAS THIRTY-EIGHT ARRESTS AND FIFTEEN CONVICTIONS, INCLUDING SEXUAL ASSAULT. “Under the Biden Administration, serial criminal illegal aliens were allowed to terrorize Americans. We are restoring law and order and putting the safety of Americans first. No longer is America a safe haven for the world’s criminals.”

BIDEN-HARRIS REGIME EXPOSED FOR IGNORING RED FLAGS ON THEIR ABUSE OF THE AUTOPEN FOR THEIR ILLEGIT PARDONS, ETC. A scandal the Democrats continue trying to distract from, along with the way we had an unfit buffoon being paraded before the cameras as “president” while unelected and still unknown figures made presidential decisions.

DNI TULSI GABBARD COMMENDED FOR HER WORK IN CLEANING UP AMERICA’S POLITICIZED THREE-LETTER AGENCIES. More HERE. She continues to investigate the Russia Hoax against Trump HERE.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: AUGUST TWENTIETH

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does another current events roundup.

DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLETS ABSURDLY TRY TO SPIN ANTI-TRUMP NARRATIVE OUT OF THE PRAISE THAT WORLD LEADERS SHOWERED PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH OVER HIS PEACE EFFORTS BETWEEN UKRAINE AND RUSSIA. Finland’s President Alex Stubb even dissed Joe Biden by emphatically stating “I think in the past two weeks we’ve probably had more progress in ending this war than in the past three and a half years.” More HERE.

ZELENSKY PRESENTS TRUMP WITH A SPECIAL PUTTER GIFTED BY A UKRAINIAN SOLDIER WHO SUFFERED AMPUTATION

PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKES THE U.K. DROP ITS DEMAND THAT APPLE PROVIDE THE U.K. GOVERNMENT WITH AMERICAN USERS’ ENCRYPTED DATA. Starmer was way out of line for ever trying to get that from Apple.

KAROLINE LEAVITT BRAVELY TORCHES THE IRRATIONAL, OVER THE TOP DEMOCRAT MEDIA LIES ABOUT THE ALASKA SUMMIT BETWEEN TRUMP AND PUTIN. She said it perfectly. More HERE.

CONGRESSMAN BUDDY CARTER STATES “ONLY DONALD TRUMP” COULD MOVE PUTIN AND ZELENSKY TOWARD PEACE. Carter further stated “He (Trump) has done more to negotiate peace in the last eight months than anyone in the history of the world.”

DEMOCRAT MAYOR OF BOSTON AGAIN REFUSES TO COOPERATE WITH ICE. THE DHS RESPONDS.

DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS AUTHORIZES TAXPAYER FUNDS TO PAY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO ATTEND IN-STATE UNIVERSITIES, BUT NOT CITIZENS. Pure spite seems to drive the Democrats’ “Illegal immigrants uber alles” actions these days. Continue reading

BRITISH PRIME MINISTER STARMER COMMENDS PRESIDENT TRUMP AND STATES UKRAINE IS “CLOSER TO PEACE” AFTER TRUMP-PUTIN SUMMIT IN ALASKA.

U.S. MANUFACTURING CONTINUES TO ROAR BACK UNDER TRUMP. Remember when Obama pompously gloated that “them jobs ain’t comin’ back.”

DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS REVEAL NINETEEN HIDDEN CLINTON FOUNDATION BANK ACCOUNTS IN PROBE OF HILLARY’S ONGOING BRIBERY/ “PAY TO PLAY” SCANDALS.

HILLARY BITTERLY CONTINUES RANTING ABOUT HOW DONALD TRUMP SUCCESSFULLY KEPT HER AND HER CORRUPT RETINUE OUT OF THE PRESIDENCY. It’s hilarious how her rightful defeat apparently haunts her every waking moment.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN OHIO CHARGED WITH FILMING HIMSELF SEXUALLY ABUSING A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL. Is he the next Cause Celebre for Democrats, who often romanticize figures like this?

CONGRESSWOMAN ASHLEY HINSON DISCUSSES PRESIDENT TRUMP’S SUCCESS ON THE BORDER AND FIGHTING CRIME

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: AUGUST FIFTEENTH

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up another current events roundup.

PRESIDENT TRUMP, THE MODERN DAY FDR, MARKS THE NINETIETH ANNIVERSARY OF SOCIAL SECURITY AND HIS OWN PROTECTION OF THE PROGRAM FOR GENERATIONS OF SENIORS TO COME. Have I mentioned lately that Trump is the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime? 

AT LEAST SEVEN NATIONS HAVE CALLED FOR TRUMP TO RECEIVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. More HERE. He’s the Peace President, but I doubt the establishment will ever grant him the Nobel Prize.

ELI CRANE BASHES OBAMA FOR HIS RECENT HEALTHCARE RANT, REMINDING HIM “YOU’VE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE” WITH HIS DISASTROUS OBAMACARE WHICH BENEFITED INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE FINANCIALLY COMFORTABLE BUT DAMAGED THE POOR AND THE WORKING CLASS.      

SENATOR MIKE LEE ADDED HOW OBAMACARE “MADE HEALTHCARE LESS AFFORDABLE FOR HARDWORKING AMERICAN FAMILIES, WHO HAVE SEEN THEIR HEALTHCARE COSTS SKYROCKET – WHILE A SMALL HANDFUL OF HEALTHCARE GIANTS HAVE REAPED A WINDFALL OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR. Very true. Obama did untold damage.

EVEN MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILD ABUSERS, RAPISTS AND KILLERS ARRESTED BY ICE IN DEMOCRAT “SANCTUARY” HOLES IN NEW YORK, ILLINOIS AND MARYLAND. Democrats offer no sanctuary for victims, just perpetrators.

NEW JERSEY “SANCTUARY” JUDGE FREED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT AFTER HE WAS CHARGED WITH KILLING A WOMAN AND HER ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER. But no mercy for victims in Democrat “sanctuaries.”     

IN DEMOCRAT “SANCTUARY” NEW YORK, ICE ARRESTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CONVICTED OF REPEATEDLY RAPING HIS NINE-YEAR-OLD STEPDAUGHTER. No Democrats will ever champion her, just her rapist.

CHINA HITS CANADA WITH OVER SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT TARIFF, YET THEIR PM ISN’T SNIVELING LIKE HE DID OVER TRUMP TARIFFS. Of course not. Continue reading

AUGUST THIRTEENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

CONGRESSMAN TIM BURCHETT REVEALS THAT AT LEAST TWO BIDEN WHITE HOUSE STAFFERS MADE MILLIONS SELLING ILLEGAL PARDONS THROUGH MENTALLY UNFIT JOE’S AUTOPEN

NEW YORK JUDGE CONTINUES TO BLOCK TRANSPARENCY ON THE EPSTEIN SCANDALS. Yes, a second anti-Trump judge blocks his administration’s efforts to reveal what is known about Epstein’s activities.

           Obviously, Democrats were only bluffing with their calls to reveal everything about Epstein. Trump has called their bluff so they now want to block exposure. How deeply incriminated are the Democrats by the Epstein scandals?

IN DEMOCRAT DISTRICT IN MICHIGAN, TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS CHARGED WITH FORGING MAIL-IN BALLOTS. The battle for election integrity continues in hopes of preventing another corrupt and tainted election like 2020.

Democrat snob

REPORT: ANOTHER UNION FURTHER DISTANCES ITSELF FROM THE ANTI-WORKING CLASS DEMOCRATS BY DONATING TO REPUBLICANS IN BATTLEGROUND STATES. Democrat contempt for the working class and the poor is impossible to ignore.

TRUMP EFFECT: WAGES CONTINUE TO OUTDO INFLATION. The greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.  TRUMP PROVEN RIGHT AGAIN.

KRISTI NOEM’S ICE AND KASH PATEL’S FBI SHUT DOWN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT RING IN NEBRASKA FOR SEX AND DRUG TRAFFICKING AND CHILD SLAVERY

CHICAGO DEMOCRAT RAYMOND LOPEZ COURAGEOUSLY CALLS OUT THE DAMAGE BEING DONE TO THE CITY BY DEMOCRAT MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON AND DEMOCRAT ILLINOIS GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER THROUGH THEIR HATRED OF PRESIDENT TRUMP. He said they were “blinded by Trump hate” and we all know The Party will try to eat him alive for this. 

WORKING CLASS FLIGHT FROM THE SNOBBISH DEMOCRATS CONTINUES. An excerpt: “I think I’m done with the Democrats,” said Desmond Smith, a black man who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 after previously voting for Joe Biden in 2020. He told the paper that the only way the Democratic Party could win back his vote is if they “fight for Americans instead of fighting for everybody else.”

MARLOW ON THE PRIVILEGED WHITE BILLIONAIRE LEFTISTS TRYING TO “BUY OUR DEMOCRACY.

CROUERE POINTS OUT THAT TRUMP HAS MADE MORE PEACE THAN THE U.N. HAS IN RECENT YEARS. Impossible to dispute.

IN HOUSTON ALONE, ICE ARRESTED OVER THREE HUNDRED FIFTY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT GANG MEMBERS WHO HAD ALL BEEN ARRESTED SEVERAL TIMES EACH PREVIOUSLY.

REMEMBER WHEN DEMOCRATS ACTED LIKE HAVING TRUMP REVEAL SEVERAL YEARS’ WORTH OF TAX RETURNS WAS VITAL FOR “TRANSPARENCY?” HOW ABOUT CALLING ON PELOSI AND OTHERS FOR THAT SAME TRANSPARENCY? Politicians from both parties should be called on to do that, as I’ve said for years.

AND YET ANOTHER DEMOCRAT OFFICIAL PLEADS GUILTY TO VOTE FRAUD CHARGES. The battle for election integrity continues.

REMEMBERING DR. GAD SAAD’S WISE WORDS ABOUT ANTI-TRUMP LUNACY

Truly delusional people continue to prove how little they understand about how our own political system works, given their hysterical, unhinged rantings about President Donald Trump. It’s an appropriate time to remember SANE Trump critic Dr. Gad Saad’s 2017 words about unhinged Democrat panic over things the Donald couldn’t possibly do under our system. 

NOTE: And let’s face it, the 2025 anti-Trump freakouts are even more idiotic than the ones in 2017 because we’ve already had years of privileged white Democrats suffering from their own paranoid fantasies rather than anything actually done by President Trump. No, Democrats, being fearmongered by the way your own Party’s media outlets incessantly push shrill apocalyptic narratives does not count as “oppression.”

Dr. Saad, who experienced REAL personal and political peril in his life, made this observation about the histrionics of pampered American Democrat “academics” – “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.

Saad is an authority on Behavioral Science and Evolutionary Psychology as well as the author of a column in Psychology TodayBelow is a link to the entire interview but first some more excerpts from Dr. Saad: 

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).”  …  “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?

It’s more than just mass hysteria — which is a known psychological mechanism.”    …  “So the faux-fear we’re seeing now with all of these, for lack of a better term, schmucks is a form of collective Munchausen. It’s: “Oh my god, we’re going to be gang-raped, the third-reich is coming for us.” Continue reading
