CAREER CRIMINAL JOE BIDEN LIES HIS WAY THROUGH ANOTHER STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

democrat republican otherIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog has long called for doing away with the presidential State of the Union address. It’s nothing more than an unnecessary political pep rally for presidents who can get airtime whenever they please just by scheduling a speech. The age of mass communication made the SOTU obsolete long ago.

And don’t forget that presidents spend the SOTU lying about their accomplishments and lying about their opponents. Again, it’s a meaningless political pep rally.  

It should come as no surprise that the corrupt and senile Joe Biden delivered what may be the most clownish and embarrassing SOTU ever seen. He told countless lies, like TRYING TO STEAL CREDIT FOR HIS PREDECESSOR TRUMP’S CAPPING OF INSULIN COSTS FOR MEDICARE RECIPIENTS. Many of us had loved ones who benefitted from de facto Third Party President Trump’s action on that. It happened years ago, NOT under the Biden regime.

For Joe Biden’s buffoonery, dishonesty and usual unhinged behavior here are a few items:

NON-DILLINGER – QUICK TAKES ON OTHER GANGSTERS OF HIS ERA

With John Dillinger folklore given WAY too much attention, Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some of the legends versus the ugly reality regarding some of his contemporary gangsters. 

Two Gun Crowley biggerTWO-GUN CROWLEY

Real Name: Francis Crowley

Birth – Death: October 31st, 1912 – January 21st, 1932

Lore: Crowley was supposedly born out of wedlock to a German-American woman and a New York police officer who refused to marry Crowley’s mother. This supposedly accounts for his intense hatred of the police.

Reality: Such shallow, Pulp Magazine thinking doesn’t seem likely. The young man was adopted by a family in which Francis grew up alongside a cop-killing older brother named John Crowley. John himself would be killed in a battle with police.

This background seems a more likely explanation for Francis’ issues than some mythical hatred of an unknown father who abandoned him and his mother. 

Two Gun Crowley in bedCriminal Career: By age 19, Crowley had a reputation as a competent holdup man and hit & run armed robber who never slipped up enough for a conviction. He might have escaped suspicion entirely if not for his excessively belligerent attitude when questioned by authorities.     

On February 21st, 1931 Crowley, packing the omnipresent pair of hand-guns that earned him his nickname, crashed an American Legion dance in the Bronx. Two-Gun was accompanied by a pair of male accomplices, one of whom was believed to be frequent associate Rudolph “Fats” Durringer.

When the Legionnaires attempted to expel the uninvited trio Crowley whipped out his pair of firearms and opened fire, wounding at least two innocent men before fleeing. With charges of attempted murder now hanging over his head, Two-Gun was about to enter the busiest period of his career. Continue reading

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JAMES JOYCE!

jamesjoyceHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JAMES JOYCE! His works got me hooked in my teens when I really related to his character Stephen Dedalus as he rejected his religion and indulged what I call his “young and pretentious side” in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). I wore out my copy of Joyce’s novel Ulysses (1922) and continue to mark Bloom’s Day to this very day.

Over the years Finnegans Wake (1939) replaced Ulysses as my favorite Joyce novel and I’m fonder than many people are of his play Exiles (1918). Continue reading

TWO MORE OF 2022’s MOST REPULSIVE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.

democrat republican or awakeIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents Part Three in this look at some of the Democrats and Republicans whose activities in 2022 made them deserving of nothing but contempt at best.

For Part One of this list click HERE

joe biden slovenly messJOE BIDEN

Gang Affiliation: Democrat

Comment: With some Karmic Justice being served up to the senile yet corrupt Joe Biden in the form of his ongoing scandal over classified documents that he has left lying around from his time as a Senator and Vice President years ago, this time around I’ll just present a holistic look at this career white-collar criminal and the sluglike trail he has left behind him throughout his corrupt existence. More HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE   

JOE BIDEN COMES FROM A SLAVE-OWNING FAMILY – Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know that I bash all presidents who horrifically claimed to “own” other human beings, so there is no reason to exclude the forever-racebaiting Joe Biden from such criticism. Joe’s ancestors were apparently as sleazy as he is himself.

Senile Joe BidenBIDEN CRIME FAMILY – There is overwhelming evidence that Joe and his Underboss Hunter Biden have long run an influence-peddling operation which has diverted millions upon millions of dollars to the Bidens over the years. Hunter’s “no-show” jobs with assorted overseas corporations have proven to be just the tip of the iceberg in the Biden Crime Family’s cesspool of corruption. From refusing to name figures who bought Hunter’s “artwork” (LMAO) for six-figure amounts through the countless additional stories of Joe Biden being in the pocket of China’s government, Crooked Joe embodies political graft-grabbing.   

WAR ON THE WORKING CLASS AND THE POOR – After four years of his predecessor’s fantastic policies which helped the working class and the poor, Joe Biden’s disastrous policies have devastated those same people. This, too, has been painstakingly covered in countless articles over the years. In addition, Biden blundered away the energy independence brought by his predecessor, thus causing skyrocketing costs for gasoline. Continue reading

BIDEN LOSES HIS TEMPER AGAIN WHEN BEING ASKED TOUGH QUESTIONS BY REPORTER. When Biden’s predecessor did such things it was hyped for weeks as “a war on journalism” and a lack of “presidential temperament.” More weirdness with Biden and reporters HERE.

ARIZONA’S RED GHOST (1883-1893)

red gh of arizonaARIZONA’S RED GHOST – From 1883 to 1893 Arizona was the home to multiple sightings of a monstrous four-legged creature with red fur ridden by a skeletal man or ghost. Unlike most legends that center around ghosts or cryptids, this one ends with physical remains and a rational explanation grounded in history.

Let’s start with the first documented encounter with the Red Ghost aka Fantasia Colorado in the spring of 1883. Near Eagle’s Ridge, AZ a pair of men left their ranch house to check on their cattle. Their wives and children were together in one house for safety while they were gone.

One of the wives went out to get water from a nearby spring and soon a blood-curdling scream was heard as well as sounds of physical violence. The second wife looked out a window and saw “a huge, reddish colored beast” ridden by “a devilish looking creature.” She ran outside and found the first wife’s body dead, trampled nearly flat and surrounded by several prints left by what seemed to be cloven hooves.

masc graveyard smallerWhen the two husbands returned, they saw the woman’s remains and followed the tracks until they petered out, finding red fur in bushes and tree branches along the path of whatever had killed the unfortunate wife. The Mohave County Miner newspaper stated that the coroner’s report found that the death had happened by “some manner unknown”.

Mere days later, the beast and its ghastly rider were responsible for rampaging through a miner’s camp late one night. Once again, odd footprints that were too large for a horse and tufts of red fur were left behind. Already, the human tendency toward embellishment was creeping in, as the miners claimed the Red Ghost was thirty feet tall. Continue reading
