democrats and rinosIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another look at some of the latest news reports, memes and political cartoons. As ever, I criticize both major political parties in the United States.

If only there was a competent, effective opposition political party who would fight these battles, rather than the country having to rely on random people to do it. But there isn’t such a political party.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS: NOVEMBER 23rd

biden shelvesI’ll make my Thanksgiving Eve blog post later today. For right now, Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some news, memes and political cartoons.

ANTI-WOMAN AND ANTISEMITIC BIDEN REGIME SUED FOR THE WAY ONE OF JOE’S MEN PHYSICALLY ATTACKED AN ISRAELI WOMAN OUTSIDE A BAR. Well, remember, Joe Biden is himself an accused rapist and his alleged victim cited Joe’s remark “C’mon, man! I heard you liked me!”

biden beriaBANANA REPUBLIC-STYLE MERRICK GARLAND CALLED OUT FOR ATTEMPTING TO OBSTRUCT A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION. Garland and his ilk have acted like people who commit such offenses deserve to be investigated and impeached. 

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY SCANDALS AND THEIR BIASED MEDIA OUTLETS CONTINUE TO DRAW CRITICISM.

EMERSON COLLEGE POLL: DONALD TRUMP CAME OUT OVER THIRTY PERCENT HIGHER THAN RON DESANTIS IN REPUBLICAN CHOICE FOR 2024. More HERE. And HERE. And while it’s way too early for such polls, it flies in the face of the Republican Establishment claim that it’s time to once again switch horses in mid-stream.

HARVARD POLL: TRUMP OUTPERFORMS DESANTIS AGAINST BIDEN AND HARRIS. I will say again, it’s way too early for such polls, but it is certainly the opposite of what the corporate media has been pushing.

NEWS ROUNDUP: NOVEMBER 17th

Time for another news roundup here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.

biden deludedPENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRAT CHARGED WITH WIDE-SCALE VOTE FRAUD.  Yet, no matter how many scandals like this get exposed, year after year, Democrat media outlets still insist this type of thing doesn’t happen.

FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY ACKNOWLEDGES TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT TIK TOK.

BIDEN RIDICULED BY OTHER WORLD LEADERS AND MEDIA FOR HIS G20 BUMBLING. He’s a clown and an embarrassment. 

democrat ftx scandalTHE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORRUPTION AT FTX. More HERE. The Democrats’ second-largest donor at the heart of this latest crushing blow to the working class and the poor.

WASHINGTON POST REPORTS THAT THE FBI FOUND NO NUCLEAR SECRETS OR OTHER SUCH ITEMS IN THE MAR-A-LAGO RAID. But you’ll notice they waited until AFTER the midterm elections last week to report this. Another “the walls are closing in on Trump” farce flops. 

biden inflationTHANKSGIVING DINNER ITEMS WILL COST TWENTY PERCENT MORE THAN EVEN LAST YEAR’S MASSIVE INCREASE. Joe Biden’s disastrous inflation rages on.

WHISTLEBLOWERS CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THE ROT AT THE FBI (FUGGEDA BOUT INTEGRITY).  One of the reasons I used to be a Democrat before going independent was that Democrats used to be outspokenly critical of the FBI’s never-ending abuses. In recent history, however, Democrats are just fine with FBI corruption as long as it benefits The Party.

2022 MIDTERM RESULTS

arizona and nevadaIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the 2022 midterm elections based on what we know now. As regular readers know I despise both the Republican and Democrat Parties and would like to see them both splinter into multiple smaller parties, so I can provide a non-partisan view.

(By the way, I’m one of the few sites – either Democrat OR Republican – which did NOT pretend that some mythical Red Wave was coming. I got accused of being a “secret Democrat shill” for that, but as always, I was just offering my non-partisan take.)

First, I will provide some numbers regarding the breakdown of party seats in the House and the Senate, then later in this blog post I will provide a measured take on the results. Long-time readers know that, since 2010, I have pointed out how ridiculously the major parties overreact to midterm election results.

THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES – It seems the Republicans took back the House from Democrat control (222 seats to 213 but even that is not final. Real Clear Politics claims the Republicans have 227 seats to 208 for the Democrats.), but Republicans won fewer seats than they did in 2020, when it was the Democrats who were disappointed by how badly they did and how many seats they lost. (Democrats were claiming all that year that they would dramatically increase their seats in the House but instead they lost big.)

          arizona counting big birdWithout the Democrat losses in 2020 there is no way the Republicans would have taken back the House this time around. Hey, who was at the top of their ballot in 2020?   

THE SENATE – Going into last Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats held 50 seats and the Republicans held 50 seats. As of today, the Democrats hold 50 seats and the Republicans hold 49 seats with the December runoff election in Georgia set to decide the final division of seats. Not exactly earth-shaking changes, but you overseas readers might not know that by the typical overstatements of America’s biased media outlets, all of which favor either one party or the other.

MY VIEW OF THE RESULTS: Continue reading

UNREAL: MY LOOK AT THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS WILL BE POSTED WHEN WE GET THE FINAL RESULTS

democrats npcsIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog will take a look at the 2022 midterms when we at last know the final results. The Party’s official lie is that this is normal, and we are all supposed to ignore all those other elections we witnessed in our lifetimes in which results were tallied and announced the next day.

The Party has ordered people to believe that the long, bitter, drawn-out and increasingly questionable results that became VERY frequent beginning in 2018 have really been the norm all along.

At any rate, the Biden Regime’s disastrous economic policies that are crushing the working class and the poor have caused Consumer Confidence to drop down to the worst in four decades.  Continue reading

ANNUAL NOVEMBER FIFTH POST

Che Guevara 2Yes, it’s once again Guy Fawkes Day, the day Balladeer’s Blog celebrates figures who became symbols of the exact opposite things they represented in their actual lives!

Guy Fawkes was a religious fanatic whose face became a symbol of resistance against a fictional theocratic dictatorship thanks to a comic book. Che Guevara was a murderous, homophobic, racist would-be dictator depicted as a symbol of youthful rebellion thanks to the spiteful cluelessness of Left-Wing Archie Bunkers.  

Thank the forever-childish 1960s generation leftists for elevating such a repulsive and barely human creature to such heights. Even at HUFFINGTON POST the truth about blood-soaked animal Che has been written. Click HERE  

Here are some actual quotes from hatemonger Che:

“Go ahead and try them tomorrow morning — but execute them NOW!”

“We must do away with all newspapers. A revolution cannot be accomplished with freedom of the press.” 

Viva La Ignorant“Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood.”

“We don’t need proof to execute a man. We only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him. A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.” (Note from Balladeer: Gee, I thought the poseurs and buffoons of the American Left said they’re AGAINST “hate.”)

 “What we affirm is that we must proceed along the path of liberation even if this costs millions of atomic victims.”

Che QuoteRead more of this animal’s own words and you will see what a callous, unfeeling political fanatic this hate-filled scumbag was. He never wanted to overthrow dictatorships to help “the people”, he just wanted to overthrow them to install dictatorships more to his liking.

In other words, dictatorships that would let that bloodthirsty maniac kill as many people as he wanted. Che Guevara was a waste of biomass and was the exact opposite of what delusional and uninformed fools consider him to have been.

Oh, and by the way, Guevara spent WAY too much time contemplating and writing about his own body odor.
