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

BYRON DONALDS BLASTS JILL BIDEN’S AIDE FOR FURTHERING THE COVERUP ABOUT JOE BIDEN’S UNFITNESS. Still unknown parties were making presidential decisions while an incapable figurehead was paraded before the cameras. That’s not democracy. That’s a Banana Republic.

ANOTHER BIDEN AIDE JOINS OTHER DEMOCRATS IN PLEADING THE FIFTH RATHER THAN REVEAL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE COVERUP REGARDING JOE BIDEN’S UNFITNESS. Which unelected people were making presidential decisions? And why didn’t Democrats have Biden step down so Vice President Kamala Harris could succeed to the presidency?

YET ANOTHER CALL TO NULLIFY THE BIDEN REGIME’S ILLEGITIMATE “AUTOPEN PARDONS.”

JULY SIXTEENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Here’s another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog here in an America where the same crowd of cowardly self-aggrandizers are still pretending and play-acting at being some kind of “resistance” movement.

Here’s a mid-week current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog, here in an America where ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable anti-Trump zealots continue to run around as mindlessly as the torch bearing mobs in a Frankenstein movie. Not a single rational thought among all of them.

TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT SMACKS DOWN MORE OF DEMOCRAT MEDIA EMPLOYEE DANA BASH’S LIES ABOUT THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT. So far, no criticism outside the fact that it’s a goofy name for a legislative item has been proven right.

BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTER NINA TURNER COURAGEOUSLY CALLS OUT THE RABID LIES BLAMING TRUMP FOR THE TEXAS FLOODING.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY 2025

American flagBalladeer’s Blog wishes a happy birthday to the USA! What happened in early July of 1776 certainly needs no rehashing so in keeping with my blog’s theme of addressing more out of the way subjects this post will examine various events that took place on other July 4ths throughout American history.

JULY 4TH, 1778 – George Rogers Clark led his rebel forces in taking the British stronghold of Kaskaskia, near the confluence of the Mississippi and Kaskaskia Rivers. Clark and his Rangers were on a mission for then-Virginia Governor Patrick Henry.

JULY 4TH, 1783 – The Massachusetts Supreme Court is finalizing its written decision holding that slavery has been illegal in the state since adoption of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights in 1780. 

continental soldierJULY 4TH, 1788 – The Constitution of the United States is starting to come into full effect this calendar year, instituting the government we are still officially ruled by. First elections are scheduled for later in the year.

JULY 4TH, 1789 – Congress passes a tariff that taxes goods imported in American ships at a rate 10% lower than on goods imported in ships under foreign flags.

JULY 4TH, 1794 – The “Whiskey Rebellion” is underway in western Pennsylvania.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: JULY FOURTH

Time for an end of the week current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

TRUMP’S BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ACT PASSES IN TIME FOR JULY FOURTH SIGNING CEREMONY. Another win for populist President Donald Trump. Bradley Jaye and others noted: “The bill, which codifies into law much of what Trump has done through executive action and unlocks much more that required Congressional approval, may be considered by history as Trump’s crowning achievement” AND “manages to include almost every campaign promise Trump made …”

        Trump’s bill also fulfills his pledges regarding “no taxes on tips, overtime, or social security.” Plus there’s the biggest middle class tax cut in history and full funding for the Border Wall.

JUNE JOBS REPORT: TRUMP’S POLICIES ADD ONE HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN THOUSAND NEW JOBS AND UNEMPLOYMENT FALLS AGAIN. More HERE. Trump remains the best president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.

THE PENOBSCOT CAMPAIGN: AMERICA’S REVOLUTIONARY WAR TRAGEDY

THE PENOBSCOT CAMPAIGN – Most sources refer to this military campaign as the Penobscot Expedition, but I feel the word campaign is far more accurate. At any rate, if it had been a success this combined land and sea effort against the British in 1779 would be hailed to this very day. Unfortunately, its failure has relegated it to the Memory Hole for most people.

This campaign was an attempt to drive the British out of the portion of Maine that they had seized and renamed New Ireland. Because Maine is central to this affair, I will first clarify a few things that some Americans as well as non-Americans can get thrown off by.

*** In general, we are all familiar with the original 13 Colonies that broke away from England during the American Revolution. Because Maine is not named among those 13 colonies, some people are confused when it is mentioned as the location for various battles of the Revolutionary War.

        Maine was a district of Massachusetts at the time. Similarly, Kentucky was not one of the 13 Colonies, but it was a department of Virginia, which is why Daniel Morgan’s Kentucky Rifles were part of America’s army during the war. Continue reading

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.

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.
