Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some devastating natural disasters that hit the United States so long ago that some of them have been nearly forgotten.
HIGH MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKES IN THE MIDDLE UNITED STATES
Dates: December 16th, 1811 … January 23rd, 1812 and February 7th, 1812
Location: Sparsely inhabited sections of Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio
The Events: In New Madrid, MO, residents were literally shaken from their beds by the earthquake at roughly 2:00AM on December 16th. Virtually none of them had ever experienced an earthquake before, but had heard Shawnee legends about one of their gods “stamping their feet hard enough to rend the ground asunder.”
A million-square mile area shook intensely on that day as well as January 23rd and February 7th, 1812. Cincinnati, OH, Louisville, KY and Saint Louis, MO reported falling chimneys and shattered windows. Across multiple states the ground rose and fell, with sinks and ridges forming and trees ripped in two. Continue reading
The bloated rich pigs of America learned years ago that backing the Democrats can still get all their callous, plutocratic and anti-working class policies pushed through, but unlike the clueless and useless Republican Party, Democrats in politics and the media can make those rich pigs look like the good guys while they oppress the rest of us. WE NEED THIRD PARTIES. Democrat office-holders are selfish, corrupt, hate-filled and destructive. Republican office-holders are corrupt, impotent and care only about money, not human beings. (Not even their own constituents.) 
Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog decided to take a break this time from examining Joe Biden’s damage to the working class and the poor, to his KIDS IN CAGES which far outnumber anything seen under Obama and Trump, to his ongoing scandals and humiliations, and simply post about his well-deserved ridicule over his repeated inability to climb stairs. 
Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I’ve often pointed out that the only people lower than the career criminals who hold office in this country may be the members of the corporate media. 
Though purists reserve the label Wild Geese strictly for those Irish Jacobin troops who left Ireland after the Williamite War ended in 1691, romantic military tradition has tended to consider almost all Irish expatriates who served in overseas armies from the 1580s into the 1800s and beyond as part of “the flight of the Wild Geese.”

also features some of Antifa’s documents expressing its views and methods. The fact that the group does not want its views and methods to receive such scrutiny reveals how terrified of the truth they are.

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another look at – among other things – the scandals and screwups of Joe Biden, the career criminal and senile demagogue who was installed in the White House. 
PART FIFTY-TWO – Some of the targets from the December of 1911 edition of James Larkin Pearson’s version of The Fool-Killer: 
Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at Democrats, those nauseating scavengers of human misery who pretend to be THE moral models for the rest of us. Well, actually, it might be more appropriate to point out that they are very often the CAUSE of human misery with their fascism, intolerance and inability to think for themselves. 
But either way, Democrats pompously pretend to be THE moral models for the rest of us. It’s the same type of behavior that alienated so many people from the religious right long ago but Democrats are saying “Hold our beer” and showing how rabid intolerance, political witch-hunts and pretended moral superiority are REALLY done.
