Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes its first 2023 look at current events.
*** NEW – BIDEN REGIME REFUSING TO TURN OVER 400 DOCUMENTS INVOLVING RUSSIA, CHINA AND UKRAINE PAYING OFF JOE BIDEN’S SON HUNTER AND BROTHER JIM. The Biden Crime Family is not just an expression.
MORE REVELATIONS ABOUT THE BIDEN REGIME’S TIES TO THE FTX SCANDAL. Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy in action.
JOE BIDEN’S DISASTROUS POLICIES CAUSE THE WORST STOCK MARKET DECLINE SINCE THE 2008 DEBACLE. But Joe and his fellow one percenters are just fine.
ELON MUSK STATES THAT HE WILL BE RELEASING EVEN MORE TWITTER FILES THAT EXPOSE POLITICAL AND CORPORATE MEDIA CORRUPTION. More HERE. And more on Fauci HERE. The cesspool of corruption which masquerades as America’s political system is not pleased.
REPUBLICAN SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL CALLED OUT AGAIN REGARDING THE WAY HE BUNGLED THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS IN HIS ROLE OVERSEEING HIS PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL RACES. More HERE. And HERE. “Cocaine Mitch” sinks to his lowest approval ratings, too.
MORE ON LYSENKOIST ANTHONY FAUCI, INCLUDING THE RATIONAL GAD SAAD’S TAKEDOWN OF THE FASCIST FAUCI.
JOE BIDEN’S DISASTROUS POLICIES NOW CAUSING ANOTHER LACK OF URGENT CHILDREN’S MEDICATION. The career white-collar criminal is a callous monster.

A few years back, when Balladeer’s Blog reviewed
Prior 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.
In the years since then, Rovaniemi has become more and more entrenched as the home of Santa and his workshop. 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.)
Santa 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 


Because 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 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.
THE 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.)
Time once again for an edition of Balladeer’s Blog’s recurring feature Faculty Lounge Fascist Roundup.
Independent 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,
Moreover, 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.
Both 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.
dropping 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. 

Arizona 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.
