JULY 2nd ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does another current events roundup.

AS TRUMP-BACKED LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE HEADS TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES NOW, HE CALLS FOR UNITY. “It’s everyone’s bill” he stated.   JENNINGS REMINDS BEGALA THAT IT WAS DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON WHO ADDED WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAID, NOT TRUMP.    SCHMITT SHOOTS DOWN DEMOCRAT LIES BY POINTING OUT THE MEDICAID CUTS ARE FOR 1.4 MILLION ILLEGALS. Anti-Trumpers are still stuck in the pre-Trump past, when Republican policies were uniformly callous regarding public benefits.

TRUMP’S BBB KEEPS HIS PROMISE TO SENIOR CITIZENS REGARDING NOT HAVING THEIR BENEFITS TAXED. Trump continues to be the new FDR.

EVEN DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET CNN ADMITS FOURTH OF JULY GAS PRICES UNDER TRUMP HAVE DROPPED TO FOUR-YEAR LOW. Now that the corrupt and unfit figurehead Joe Biden and his handlers are gone.

HELEN LEWIS OF THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET THE ATLANTIC ADMITS DEMOCRATS PUSH “ZOMBIE FACTS” WHICH ARE NOT TRUE BUT WHICH THE POLITICAL BUBBLES THEY LIVE IN CONVINCE THEM ARE TRUE. As a former Democrat turned Independent, I certainly agree. Uninformed Democrats STILL spout lies about President Trump and other items on a daily basis.

HARVARD CALLED OUT AGAIN FOR THEIR VIOLATIONS OF STUDENT CIVIL RIGHTS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP WELCOMES * LEGAL * IMMIGRANTS AND NATURALIZED CITIZENS “INTO OUR NATIONAL FAMILY”. Democrats still pretend they don’t understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: JUNE THIRTIETH

Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog in an America where Democrats pretend that enforcing laws they don’t like makes this an “authoritarian” administration.

PRESIDENT TRUMP BRINGS PEACE MEASURES TO DECADES-OLD AFRICAN CONFLICT. Incredible achievement. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. CNN humiliated for claiming the agreement hadn’t really been signed HERE. More HERE. Their anti-Trump hysteria sinks to new lows. 

STOCKS SOAR TO RECORD HIGH UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES. And Trump is still fighting inflation and being the best president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.

FINALLY, THE SUPREME COURT SMACKS DOWN THE NATIONWIDE INJUNCTION OVERREACH BY PARTISAN DEMOCRAT JUDGES IN LOWER COURTS. More HERE. They simultaneously insulted Ketanji’s inane, flawed reasoning for good measure. (More HERE.) Long overdue steps.

        And though Democrats are sniveling now, the ruling will also prevent Republican judges from abusing injunctions against any future Democrat presidents, too. Anti-Trump hysteria is what fueled the Party’s grotesque judicial overreach. More HERE.

ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI SUMMARIZES ALL THE ABUSES OF INJUNCTIONS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP BY PARTISAN DISTRICT JUDGES. Those petty tyrants of the lower courts deserved to be put in their place.

GLOBAL ECONOMIST ADMITS PRESIDENT TRUMP OUTSMARTED EVERYONE WITH HIS TARIFF MANEUVERS.

DEMOCRAT MAMDANI CALLS FOR INCREASING TAXES ON WHITE PEOPLE. Racist hatemongering is in the DNA of the Democrats.

WASHINGTON POST REPORTER CHARGED FOR POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?

DEMOCRAT “EDUCATION” – PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENT GRADUATES “WITH HONORS” BUT CANNOT READ OR WRITE. The logical end result of decades of the Democrat war on the educational system. Continue reading

REVOLUTIONARY WAR NEGLECTED BATTLES: APRIL 1777

As the 4th of July approaches, here are some more often overlooked clashes during the Revolutionary War.

APRIL 2nd – Off the coast of Delaware the British frigates HMS Perseus and HMS Roebuck spotted the South Carolina Navy’s schooner the USS Defense, captained by Thomas Pickering. Outnumbered, the Defense fled and the British vessels pursued her from roughly 6:00am to 1:00pm.

        At that time the Roebuck and the Perseus caught up with the American ship and both of them opened fire. Ultimately, the Defense surrendered and was towed into New York Harbor by the English.

APRIL 13th – Near Bound Brook in the New Jersey No-Man’s Land, Redcoat General Charles Cornwallis and his 2,000 men caught American General Benjamin Lincoln and his 500 men by surprise. Militia units failed to warn him of the British approach. Continue reading

JUNE TWENTY-SEVENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up another current events roundup from an America where ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable anti-Trump fundamentalists still aren’t capable of calmly and rationally discussing their opposition to him. Instead, they still push their hysterical, irrational, “every week is the apocalypse” nonsense like they did during his first term.

SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS BLASTS DEMOCRATS FOR BEING RUN BY INSIDE-THE-BELTWAY CONSULTANTS WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND THE REAL WORLD

ALEX MARLOW’S NEW POLITICAL EXPOSE BREAKING THE LAW, ABOUT DEMOCRAT WARFARE AGAINST POPULIST PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, WILL BE AVAILABLE AUGUST FIFTH. Amazon link HERE

TYPICALLY COWARDLY CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICAN SENATOR THUNE SURRENDERS ON BBB. Proving once again how clueless, outdated and useless most elected Republicans continue to be. Hiding behind an unelected partisan is peak conservative gutlessness of the “Gosh, our hands are tied” kind.         

        This parliamentarian maneuver is no different than judicial overreach and undermines the voters who gave a party the Senate majority. More HERE

UNSTABLE TRUMP HATER SAYS TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY MADE HER OVEREAT, DRINK AND LEAVE THE COUNTRY. So many anti-Trumpers are emotional cripples.

KAROLINE LEAVITT SMACKS DOWN CNN ACTIVIST OVER THEIR LIES ABOUT THE IRAN STRIKES.

FLAILING JASMINE CROCKETT STILL RABID OVER VOTERS REJECTING KAMALA HARRIS. She should instead be upset that her fellow Democrats were such racists that they kept covering up how unfit Joe Biden was. If they had not done that, Kamala would have succeeded to the presidency without even having to run and would have gained instant gravitas and credibility.

CORPORATE MEDIA STILL IGNORING REPORTER CATHERINE HERRIDGE’S REVELATION THAT HER MEDIA COLLEAGUES KNEW THERE WAS INTERFERENCE IN THE 2020 ELECTION TO INSTALL JOE BIDEN. Democrats went with the obvious lie that the election was “the most secure” ever rather than just go with rational defenses. So typical.   THE ANTI-TRUMP FBI COVERED IT UP, TOO. The 2020 election was as corrupt and tainted as were those in 1876 and 2000.

CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION ADMITS THEY THINK THE PEOPLE’S CHILDREN ARE THEIR CHILDREN. Unsurprisingly, Democrats who pretend Trump presides over a “dystopia” ignored the grotesque remark. Continue reading

“SALAMANDER” HARADEN: COMMERCE RAIDER AND PRIVATEER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR

THE SALAMANDER – The 4th of July is fast approaching! As another seasonal post Balladeer’s Blog examines the Revolutionary War career of Captain Jonathan Haraden, nicknamed the Salamander because of “his ability to withstand fire.”

Haraden’s rise to fame began when he was serving as First Officer under Captain John Fisk on the American commerce raider the Tyrannicide, launched on July 8th, 1776. This ship, crewed by 75 men, was a 14-cannon sloop which preyed on British targets from July of 1776 until August 14th, 1779. After its launch from the Salisbury Naval Shipyard  the Tyrannicide  made Salem, MA its homeport.

The Tyrannicide   wasted no time, battling the HMS Dispatch on July 12th. The Dispatch boasted 20 cannons but after an hour & a half battle fell to Fisk and Haraden’s crew. The commerce raider towed this prize into Salem by July 17th and soon set out for more.

August of 1776 saw the ship working the waters off Cape Sable and Nantucket. During that time three more prizes fell to Tyrannicide – the Glasgow, the Saint John and the Three Brothers. Continue reading

Here’s another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

BIDEN STAFFER ADMITS THAT NO LEADER BESIDES TRUMP HAD THE RESOLVE AND STRENGTH TO MOVE AGAINST IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM. True. The typical Democrat approach would have been to wait until Iran unleashed nuclear weapons, then blame the victims for “their chickens coming home to roost.”

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN BRAD SCHNEIDER COURAGEOUSLY ADMITS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S IRAN STRIKES MADE THE WORLD SAFER AND LAY THE PATH TO EXPAND TRUMP’S ABRAHAM ACCORDS. Who knows how the notoriously violent Democrats will react to his remarks.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLES: MARCH 1777

As the 4th of July approaches, here’s another seasonal blog post, this one looking at often overlooked clashes during the Revolutionary War.

MARCH 8th – Another encounter during the Great Forage War. American and British troops continued foraging for supplies throughout the New Jersey No Man’s Land. Near Amboy, NJ an unknown number of U.S. forces under General William Maxwell ambushed hundreds of British-Allied Hessian troops and captured 70 Hessians in the resulting fighting.

ALSO MARCH 8th – The Battle of Punk Hill. A force of 3,000 British regulars were on the move near Bonhamton, NJ. Another unknown number of American soldiers – also under General William Maxwell – attacked the Brits at Punk Hill.

        While advance units were fighting it out, Maxwell and his counterpart General William Howe maneuvered their men to reinforce those advance units. Maxwell succeeded but American Rebels prevented the British reinforcements from reaching their comrades. Continue reading

JUNE TWENTY-THIRD ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does another current events roundup from an America where ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable anti-Trump loons have conveniently forgotten the eight years of Barack Obama’s periodic strikes on the middle east.

*** NEW! TRUMP ANNOUNCES CEASEFIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN.

PRESIDENT TRUMP PRAISED FOR HIS DECISION ON THE STRIKES AGAINST CRAZED IRANIAN REGIME’S NUCLEAR SITES. Trump critic praises the president and acknowledges the strikes saved American lives HERE. Even this unhinged anti-Trumper admits this was the right call HERE.

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE JOHNSON: PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE IRAN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DEAL.    SENATE MAJORITY LEADER THUNE: IRAN REJECTED ALL DIPLOMATIC PATHWAYS.    INSIDE THE MISSION.   

DEMOCRAT PARTY

DEMOCRATS OBJECT TO THE IRAN NUKE STRIKES IN A WAY THEY WOULD NEVER OBJECT TO ANY ACTION TAKEN BY UKRAINE AGAINST RUSSIA OR BY HAMAS AGAINST ISRAEL. So predictable and so tiresome.   

SENATE INVESTIGATION PROVIDES MORE EVIDENCE OF DEMOCRATS OUTRIGHTLY LYING ABOUT JOE BIDEN’S CONDITION TO COVER UP HIS UNFITNESS. More HERE. Unaccountable figures were acting as president while a figurehead was trotted out in public. There is no bigger story right now.

SEATTLE’S DEMOCRAT CHIEF OF POLICE PROMISES TO DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO HELP ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS ELUDE ICE. I will ask the Democrats again – given your irrational claims that we live in a “dystopia” under Trump, aren’t there any suffering CITIZENS you would be willing to champion? “Illegal immigrants uber alles” remains the Democrat motto.

2025 JUNETEENTH: MARKING THE DAY DEMOCRATS LOST THEIR SLAVES

democrats kkkIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog wishes you a happy Juneteenth, marking the day Democrats lost their slaves. (Democrats owned slaves, not Republicans.) African-Americans continue fighting for their freedom from the Democrats, who today treat people of color like they still own them and that they MUST vote for Democrats and ONLY Democrats.

That political party, which I’m ashamed to say I used to belong to years ago, even distorts the Juneteenth holiday. They try fundamentally transforming it into a day when Democrats – the only extant political party which supported slavery and even fought a Civil War over it – can act like they are above reproach while THE REST OF THE COUNTRY shares a guilt The Party pretends to be free from. 

Joe Biden, embodying the grotesque hypocrisy of that detestable political party, EULOGIZED A KLANSMAN – DEMOCRAT SENATOR ROBERT BYRD – yet Biden thought he was fit to give finger-wagging lectures to the rest of us. (If this post upsets you, tell the Democrats to stop politicizing Juneteenth by pretending they had nothing to do with slavery, or the Ku Klux Klan, or Jim Crow, etc.) Continue reading
