SANTA CLAUS VILLAGE

santa claus villageA few years back, when Balladeer’s Blog reviewed I Met Father Christmas, I went on a little tangent about one of the filming locations – Rovaniemi in Lapland, Finland. Beginning in 1985 Rovaniemi’s Santa Claus Village was Finland’s new “official” designation of the site of Santa’s workshop and related items. 

scvPrior to 1985, Korvatunturi was considered Santa’s home, which is why I suspect that I Met Father Christmas may have been part of a 1984 publicity push regarding Finland’s upcoming “official” re-designation of Rovaniemi as the site of Santa’s workshop and village. Rovaniemi’s airport is just a mile away from Santa Claus Village.

A Christmas special called Lapland Out was filmed there as part of Tots TV, as was the Bam Margera movie Where The #$&% Is Santa? Hell, even a Lordi heavy metal music video was filmed there for their song Hardrock Hallelujah. (That overhead line marks the actual Arctic Circle.) 

reindeer sleigh ridesSanta Claus Village seems like a fantastic spot for a family vacation if you don’t mind traveling, and if you don’t mind the frigid outside conditions. There are sleigh rides powered by reindeer (above right), snowmobile touring, dogsledding, a petting zoo, an Elf Academy and much more.    Continue reading

WASHINGTON DC’s CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION ROLLS ALONG …

ftx scandal continues

With the end of 2022 fast approaching, Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog notes just a few of the latest acts of destruction inflicted on the rest of us by the career white-collar criminals who hold office via the Democrat and Republican Parties.

*** NEW – AND YET ANOTHER STATE SUPREME COURT – DELAWARE THIS TIME – STRIKES DOWN VOTE BY MAIL (Cheat by Mail). Also strikes down election day registration. (And remember, Vote by Mail is NOT the same thing as absentee voting.) At any rate, even more of those unconstitutional mail in ballots should never have been counted.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR “COCAINE MITCH” MCCONNELL, OWNED BY CHINA, BLUNTLY TELLS AMERICANS THAT HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES CARE NOTHING ABOUT THEIR CONSTITUENTS

biden fbi electionsTWITTER FILES REVEAL THAT THE PREVIOUS REGIME AT TWITTER COOPERATED WITH THE U.S. MILITARY ON PSYOPS AND OTHER EFFORTS. Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy and its functionaries are the worst of the worst. The election interference was just the tip of the iceberg.

FRESHLY EXPOSED EMAILS FURTHER DEMONSTRATE PRIVILEGED WHITE ONE PERCENTER NANCY PELOSI’S INCOMPETENCE. More HERE. And HERE. Typical of Nancy, she failed, then blamed everyone else. 

EVEN MORE INFORMATION COMES OUT ABOUT BIG TECH AND ITS PARTISAN ALLIES INTERFERING IN THE 2020 ELECTION. As I’ve long said, the 2020 presidential election was at least as corrupt and tainted as the 1876 and year 2000 presidential elections.

THE FASCISTS WHO RUN AMERICA’S “INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES” WAGE WAR ON POLITICAL OPPONENTS. One of the reasons I used to be a Democrat before becoming an Independent Voter was because the Democrats USED TO be openly critical of the abuses of America’s thuggish CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. Not anymore. Now Democrats are fine with using those agencies against all dissenting opinions. More HERE.

THE INSPECTOR (1965) FOR THE SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR

the inspectorBecause December 21st is the shortest day of the year, Balladeer’s Blog always runs articles about short films, short presidential administrations, etc. This year I’m observing the 57th anniversary of the theatrical release of the very first animated short in The Inspector series on December 21st, 1965.

The Inspector was the DePattie-Freleng cartoon character introduced in the animated opening credits of the Blake Edwards/ Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies. This inept yet overconfident detective was based on Sellers’ memorable Inspector Clouseau character in those comedies.

inspector and the pink pantherThe Pink Panther had already graduated from being the opening credits mascot of Edwards’ series to its own series of cartoon shorts. When the tradition of screening original cartoons before the latest movie releases ended (for the most part) in the late 60s/ early 70s, many of those animated shorts were packaged as cartoon shows for Saturday morning television. The Inspector found a new home as part of the Pink Panther cartoon show.

All of those programs played in reruns for decades, often recycling the same few dozen (or less) cartoons over and over again. The Inspector series of 34 animated shorts had run in movie theaters from December 21st, 1965 to May 14th, 1969.

great de gaulle stoneTHE GREAT DE GAULLE STONE OPERATION – Yes, it was 57 years ago on this date when this Inspector cartoon debuted. As of 1965 the Blake Edwards/ Peter Sellers film series consisted of just The Pink Panther (1963) and A Shot in the Dark (1964). (The original Pink Panther movie premiered in Europe in December 1963 and America in 1964, which is why it is sometimes listed as a 1964 release instead of 1963.) Continue reading

FACULTY LOUNGE FASCIST ROUNDUP: DECEMBER 19th

educa smallerTime once again for an edition of Balladeer’s Blog’s recurring feature Faculty Lounge Fascist Roundup.

DETROIT SCHOOL DISTRICT REMOVES BEN CARSON’S NAME FROM HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE HE DARES TO NOT BE A DEMOCRAT. Long after the Democrats’ plantations were shut down in the Civil War, that political party STILL thinks it “owns” African-Americans. Democrats feel people of color are only permitted to belong to their party.

TWITTERGATE FURTHER CONFIRMS A FRAUDULENT ELECTION PLUS SO MUCH MORE

biden is not legitIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, as always, welcomes everyone no matter who they vote for. Revelation after revelation keeps surfacing from the way Elon Musk has overturned a figurative rock, thus exposing all of the corrupt, fascist behavior by the former regime at Twitter and their allies in just one political party.

trump group photoMoreover, the past several years have also seen de facto Third Party President Donald Trump overturn a figurative rock exposing the cesspool of corruption that career politicians have made of America’s political system.

Ironically, both figures have, apparently through a sense of noblesse oblige (and no doubt the ego that all history-shaking figures possess), done far more to expose and combat the deeply ingrained corruption than ANY of America’s career white-collar criminals. The bought and paid-for whores who hold office in the United States will apparently never forgive either Trump or Musk for rocking the crooked boat.

biden twitter fascism coverupBoth of them are in the sights of the powerful totalitarians they have angered, Trump for far longer than Musk, of course. Those two non-politicians have exposed the Banana Republic conditions in which the Joe Bidens and George W. Bushes of the country have mired America.

Now, obviously, no nation should have to rely on a pair of maverick billionaires big tech fascismdropping from above to perform such civic duties, and regular readers know I sure as hell don’t advocate for such action, but there’s no denying that Trump and Musk are waging the kind of battles that our elected officials, judicial appointees and “law enforcement” (LMAO) personnel should have been waging long before the corruption spread as far as it has.

DECEMBER 12th NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another look at recent news, memes and political cartoons.

biden crime family memeJOE BIDEN’S WAR ON THE PRESS TARGETS “TODAY NEWS AFRICA” REPORTER SIMON ATEBA. More racist and oppressive hostility from the execrable Biden.

DEMOCRAT MAXINE WATERS CALLED OUT FOR HER AND HER PARTY’S CORRUPTION IN THE FTX SCANDAL. More HERE. Apparently because Sam Bankman-Fried donated tens of millions of dollars to the Democrats, it looks like he may go unpunished for his misdeeds.

     As I observed long ago, bloated rich pigs switched their support to the Democrats once it became obvious that they were much more skilled at pandering to modern Robber Barons than the inept Republicans ever were.  

JACK DORSEY, THE PRE-ELON MUSK HEAD OF TWITTER, CALLED OUT FOR THE WAY HE AND HIS FELLOW DEMOCRATS FAILED TO BAN CHILD PORN LIKE MUSK IS DOING. More about the pre-Musk pedophile problem at Twitter HERE. Plus, an analysis of Twitter’s pre-Musk failure to deal with child porn HERE. One of the most disgusting examples HERE. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?

Biden crime family underboss Hunter BidenAND YET ANOTHER COVERUP OF BIDEN CRIME FAMILY CORRUPTION IS UNRAVELING. Republican President Warren G. Harding and the Ohio Gang were amateurs compared to the Biden Gang. 

BIDEN REGIME OFFICIAL SAM BRINTON CALLED OUT OVER ANOTHER THEFT. More HERE, and HERE. The Biden Crime Family and their minions are such a bizarre collection of stooges, crooks and graft-grabbers.

AND STILL ANOTHER DEMOCRAT LEAVES THAT PARTY, THIS TIME IN NEW YORK. So many of us who decided to #WALKAWAY from that political party can understand. Unfortunately, this one became a Republican instead of an Independent. Continue reading

SENATOR KYRSTEN SINEMA LEAVES THE DEMOCRAT PARTY TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT

kyrsten sinemaArizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, like so many of us former Democrats, disgusted with how fascistic and intolerant the Democrats have become, has officially left that political party to register as an Independent.

This has caused her to be even more viciously attacked by the fanatical Democrats who helped drive her (and so many of us) away from the party when she showed consideration to her constituents instead of the Democrat Party Machine – even barging into Ladies’ Rooms after her to berate her for not obeying Democrat Party dictates. (Let me emphasize, elected officials are supposed to represent their constituents, NOT a political party)

Joe Biden justified the lavatory (and elsewhere) harassment of Sinema by saying it was just “part of the process.” Biden is garbage. 

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog once again notes that the totalitarian Democrats have been unhinged in recent years when it comes to punishing one-time Democrats who stray from the Groupthink of that political party. Continue reading

LATEST NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

democrats at twitterHello again from Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy! It’s been several days of intensified gangster warfare between the white-collar criminals of the Democrats and Republicans. Neither gang of bought and paid-for whores is worth rooting for, but a few individuals are. De facto Third Party President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are among them.

democrat criminal enterpriseBecause the people who run the Republican Party are clueless, outdated and utterly useless, it has taken the fluke of just happening to have two maverick billionaires around to find people capable of defying the cesspool of corruption that masquerades as America’s political system.

biden getting his ten percentGarbage families like the Bidens, Pelosis and Clintons (Democrats) and the Bushes, Cheneys and Romneys (Republicans) have been running the country like a Mafia bust-out operation and looting the public treasury.

The latest lie being spread about Donald Trump, America’s Lech Walesa, Nelson Mandela and modern-day Eugene Debs & Charles Stewart Parnell all wrapped up in one, is that he supposedly called for the suspension of the Constitution. He said no such thing, of course, but the media outlets of our country’s two criminal political parties NEED a distraction from all of the new evidence of Joe Biden’s illegitimacy and other scandals, many of which incriminate both parties gangs.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE BIDEN REGIME’S CORRUPT PERSECUTION OF THE OPPOSITION LEADER. Biden is unfit and illegit.

A FURTHER LOOK AT COLLUSION BETWEEN THE CORRUPT FBI AND BIG TECH.

BLOATED AND USELESS REPUBLICAN RICH PIGS CALLED OUT.

JOE BIDEN – WHO STILL HAS MORE “KIDS IN CAGES” THAN EITHER TRUMP OR OBAMA HAD, STILL CALLOUSLY REFUSES TO VISIT THE BORDER. But we all know that the people who pretended to care about those kids in cages were just using them as political props. 

biden crushing unionsThis item is a reminder that Joe Biden’s war on the working class and the poor continued with his crushing of the rail workers.

Democrats have not been the party of FDR and JFK for a very long time now. Stop pretending they still are.

This next political cartoon is a reminder about the Democrats and how mired they are in the FTX scandal. If America had a competent opposition party there might be some consequences.

However, the Republican power players are too busy trashing Donald Trump, and presumably some are already preparing their excuses for dumping Ron DeSantis when he gets sufficiently muddied up by the media (remember, a few years back Democrats and their media outlets were able to – virtually overnight – convince most of the nation that Brett Kavanaugh was a serial sexual predator who even ran a rape gang in college).

BOMBSHELL TWITTER REVELATIONS EXPOSE EVEN MORE EVIDENCE THAT THE 2020 ELECTION WAS HOPELESSLY TAINTED AND CORRUPT

Biden and Bush asterisks

“I didn’t really win mine, either.”

Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I’ve never shied away from expressing my opinion that Republican George W. Bush did not really win the year 2000 election and Democrat Joe Biden did not really win the 2020 election. I also state that Republican Rutherford B. Hayes did not really win the 1876 election.

Uninformed and historically illiterate partisan fanatics tend to be okay with my remarks about Bush not really winning, but fall to pieces when I point out that Joe Biden did not really win in 2020.

trump on votingTo all my previous blog posts about the overwhelming evidence that Biden was “selected, not elected” we can now add the recent FLOOD of Elon Musk’s revelations about how his predecessors at Twitter also participated in the Democrat/ Corporate Fascist cheating and worse in 2020. They wanted career criminal Joe Biden installed and did not care what they had to do to bring it about. They even made “By any means necessary” their public slogan.

Time Magazine even bragged about the fixing of the 2020 election, under the illusion that everyone approved of the abuse, fraud and theft. (Note how their article bare-facedly refers to the cheating as “saving” the 2020 election.)

AND REMEMBER, THE BELOW REVELATIONS ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL THE “CHEAT BY MAIL” AND OTHER MISDEEDS ALREADY EXPOSED ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION. THE “BIG LIE” IS THAT BIDEN WON A FAIR ELECTION.

*** NEW – EXCELLENT BREAKDOWN ON HOW THE BIDEN SCANDALS EXPOSED BY HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP REPRESENTED A FATAL BLOW TO JOE BIDEN’S 2020 CAMPAIGN. For Biden to be installed, the Democrats and their Corporate Fascist allies HAD to cover up the story.

BIDEN CAMPAIGN AND DEMOCRAT PARTY COLLUDED WITH TWITTER TO SWING THE 2020 ELECTION.
