Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents some random current events and musings.

First up is this entertaining cartoon about the bizarrely inaccurate, biased and uninformed buffoons who pretend to be “fact checkers” for the Big Tech fascists of social media.
“Thought Police” or “Political Censors” or “Conformity Enforcers” might be better job descriptions for those clueless ideologues who have deluded themselves into thinking they possess “the one true worldview.”
THE UNITED STATES IS BEHIND THE REST OF THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO USING VOTER I.D. – We need Third Parties here in the U.S. but we also need Voter I.D. laws. The rest of the world is very progressive in their use of such I.D. requirements but here in America such laws are always opposed by Democrats, who thrive on vote fraud of all kinds (see the past 11 years of my blog posts for those news items). Click HERE.
One of my favorite incidents regarding how behind the rest of the world America is on Voter I.D. happened in 2012, when Democrats welcomed in an assortment of U.N. officials to oversee our election and those U.N. figures foiled the Democrats’ frantic, paranoid expectations by pointing out how careless and negligent our country is regarding voting i.d’s, which are REQUIRED in most civilized nations. Hilarious!
FASCIST JOE BIDEN’S FOLLIES – Joe Biden’s regime continues to spread hostility, division and race-hatred (HERE and HERE). Biden continues his war on the working class and the poor (HERE and HERE).
ANTIFA VERMIN – AND, while the Democrats’ violent roving harassment/ death squad Antifa continues to prey on journalists and elected officials targeted by Democrats (HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE ) the senile Joe Biden pretends that imaginary supremacists are the nation’s greatest threat. AND NEVER FORGET THAT BIDEN EULOGIZED ROBERT BYRD, HIS FELLOW DEMOCRAT WHO HELD A HIGH POSITION IN THE KU KLUX KLAN. Who is a piece of garbage like Joe Biden to EVER call anyone else racist?
THUGGISH BIDEN – The fascist fool will brook no dissent in his own party, and has taken to lying about other Democrats who don’t obey him with enough enthusiasm (HERE).
JOE BIDEN: IMBECILE – Biden thinks January was fifteen months ago. Moron. Click HERE. Continue reading
As one of my overseas readers put it recently “A lot of Americans need to grow up and stop thinking that their elections, alone of all nations in the world, are paragons of honesty.” Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog doesn’t need convinced of that. For 11 years, since 2010 I’ve run several blog posts regarding news stories about vote fraud, including arrests and convictions or confessions. (And remember, I don’t go along with conspiracy theories. YEARS ago I dismissed the Q-Anon items as nonsense, so none of my opinions were ever based on that.)
For even more suspicious hijinks the Supreme Court, which abetted the execrable George W Bush sneaking into the White House in the year 2000, played a new game with the 2020 election. First the court refused to hear cases because the election hadn’t been held yet, then when cases reached them AFTER the election they ruled that the cases were moot because the election was over. And yes, one of the many things wrong with America’s Supreme Court is the way it is allowed to decline cases on a whim, when cases brought by states (among other exceptions) should be required to be heard.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! As usual, Balladeer’s Blog marks the occasion with a look at a neglected aspect of American military history. Spare some thoughts today for the men who perished in this action.
With the World War still raging, the other Allied Nations prevailed on President Woodrow Wilson to divert some American forces intended for the Western Front to Archangel and beyond, joining a combined army of Brits, Poles and White Russians. The fighting in North Russia dragged on past the end of the global conflict in November of 1918 into June of 1919. The fighting in Eastern Russia dragged on until January of 1920. In other words, if the Americans sent to Russia had instead gone to their original destination of France, their combat operations would have ended on November 11th, rather than continuing for more than a year of further bloodshed and loss of limbs from frostbite. All the more reason to remember the often-neglected troops who served there. 

Independent voter site Balladeer’s Blog notes ONCE AGAIN that the Democrats’ media outlets have humiliated themselves because of their reflexive, irrational need to wrongly label information “lies” just because that information came from de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. Last year the very valid statement that there was some evidence linking Covid-19 to a Wuhan Laboratory was hysterically condemned as a “lie” by Democrats in the media and Big Tech Fascists at Twitter, Facebook, etc rushed to censor that information. (links below)
Now, the CDC and even the Democrats at the New York Times, Washington Post and elsewhere are admitting they were wrong AGAIN, with some of them hilariously blaming Trump for their mistakes. Actually, the corporate media’s well-known biases are to blame, as usual. This has happened over and over to the point that it’s becoming a truism to say that there may be nothing truer than something that was labeled a “Trump lie.”
In addition to
It’s the latest installment of Faculty Lounge Fascist Roundup! It’s no secret that privileged white Democrats aka “baizuos” have distorted the educational system into a partisan “church” of irrational thought and ugly intolerance.
WITH THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION IN SYRIA (1928) – Written by a British former member of the French Foreign Legion using the alias John Harvey. Previously, Balladeer’s Blog examined the excellent 1895 short story collection titled
John Harvey’s With The French Foreign Legion In Syria instead wallows in the tawdry and brutal side of the Legion. Instead of James O’Neill’s poetic, astonishingly prescient tales, this volume presents an ugly and sensationalistic take on the FFL. It would have stood in stark contrast to stories romanticizing the Legion as written by P.C. Wren and others. No movies of the time would have touched these violent, vulgar Peckinpah-style antics. Get ready for a look at some Legionnaires who would make The Wild Bunch look genteel.
And yet ANOTHER anti-Trump lie is finally abandoned by the Democrats at the New York Times (links below). Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I can certainly understand hostile feelings toward given presidents. Regular readers know how much I despise George W Bush and Barack Obama, but I also pointed out when I thought negative stories about them were absurdly over the top. With de facto Third Party President Donald Trump it’s like the media did nothing BUT absurdly over the top stories about him that fell apart under the most casual scrutiny.
Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at several buried treasures which legends maintain may still be out there for the finding.
