AUSTRALIA POINTS OUT BIDEN’S SENILITY AND MORE

Senile Joe BidenIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another piece from Australia regarding the utter joke that is Joe Biden. Choosing their words with more care than frantic, fascistic Democrats ever do, the Aussies provided another quality take on the problems the Democrats’ media outlets desperately bury. Plus, even some Democrats have made moves to prevent Biden from stumbling into a nuclear strike. (Though I’d be more worried about his political corruption and assault on the working class and the poor.)

Plus watch the installed buffoon fall apart again HERE.

FLASHMAN’S GUIANA – LOST FLASHMAN PAPERS

Flashman faceFor Flashman Down Under, Flashman in the Opium War & Flashman and the Kings click HERE   For Flashman on the Gold Coast click HERE  For Flashman of Arabia click HERE 

Balladeer’s Blog now moves on to another Harry Flashman adventure never completed before George MacDonald Fraser’s death.

Lee Horsley Flashman

IF HE WAS BRITISH, LEE HORSLEY WOULD HAVE MADE A PERFECT HARRY FLASHMAN.

Projected Title: FLASHMAN’S GUIANA

Time Period: 1876-1877

NOTE: The title Flashman’s Guiana is a play on “Booker’s Guiana,” as the colony of British Guiana (19th century spelling) was often sardonically referred to in the 1800s. That reference came about from the way the Booker business empire virtually ran the colony. From a 21st Century standpoint we might look on it in a sinister Weyland-Yutani way.

… Strictly for storytelling purposes, of course, if you’re a lawyer representing the Booker Group. Honest. Really. (Although after this latest merger I don’t know if anybody would still care.) Anyway, as you readers have requested, this time I’ll establish the action then go back to detail the setup.

crossed sabresThe Action: Sir Harry Flashman and his wife Elspeth visit British Guiana right after their American Tour ended in August, 1876. A combination of Her Majesty’s Government’s interests and Flashman’s own hunger for large amounts of filthy luchre to sustain his and Elspeth’s grand new lifestyle wind up launching the British blackguard into his latest adventure.

Sword and pistols in hand, Harry leaves Elspeth back in the capital city of Georgetown while he takes part in a covert search for gold in the jungle region disputed by Great Britain and Venezuela. Continue reading

DEMOCRAT ATROCITY ROUNDUP: FEBRUARY 25th

democrat platform hatredHere are just a FEW of the latest atrocities from the party of the Democrats, America’s longest-lasting monument to slavery. (Democrats will claim that THEY are exempt from guilt over slavery because they supposedly changed over the years. The entire country changed, so if Democrats claim to be exempt then everyone else is, too. Don’t let Democrat fascists get away with that. They need to “check their privilege” about slavery.) .

BIDEN KEEPING MORE KIDS IN CAGES THAN TRUMP EVER DID. DEMOCRATS SILENT.

DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLETS COMPLICIT IN BIDEN’S CRUEL “KIDS IN CAGES” POLICIES.

FOOL KILLER FIFTY-ONE: NOVEMBER 1911

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT IN THE 1850s, CLICK HERE

Fool Killer grayPART FIFTY-ONE – The Fool Killer is back to hurl his Truth Bombs at some more malefactors. NOTE: This month the Fool Killer added a Blacksnake Cattle Whip and a Double-Geared Buzz Saw to his arsenal of weapons. The one to whip the foolish, the other to slice skin off their backs. Some of the Fool Killer’s targets from James Larkin Pearson’s November of 1911 edition of The Fool-Killer:

*** The roughly seventeen multi-millionaires whose wealth supposedly allowed them to control the entire country. In more recent years that number has been lessened to around fifteen, but the basic sentiment remains the same – the country seems to exist for the profit and power of a very, very few.

*** Women who chewed tobacco. Pearson and his Fool Killer supported women’s right to vote but for some reason women chewing snuff really, really bothered him.

*** The federal authorities responsible for sending 12 year old Albert Dewey Carter to five years in prison for stealing $5.00 from the post office. 

*** Writer Upton Sinclair, whose wife Meta had just left him for poet Harry Kemp.

*** Corporation lawyers who “smothered their consciences for a fat salary.”  Continue reading

BIDEN’S WAR ON THE WORKING CLASS AND THE POOR CONTINUES

Joe Biden dem in dementiaJoe Biden is just as much a “selected, not elected” figure as George W Bush was and is every bit as repulsive. Among other things, George W Bush lied the country into a war in Iraq because “they tried to kill his dad.” And the Joe Biden debacle is proving incredibly harmful to the working class and the poor in all kinds of ways.

Biden and his party continue tearing the country apart and spreading hatred and violence. And by the way – BIDEN STILL HAS KIDS IN CAGES! (But Democrats only pretended to care about those kids in order to attack Trump. You won’t hear them complain about Biden’s Kids in Cages.)

Here are links to some more items about accused rapist Joe Biden’s atrocities. It’s always fun to use the same kind of hysterical headlines for those links as the fascistic Democrats’ media outlets used with Trump.

GENOCIDE IN CHINA IS JUST FINE WITH JOE BIDEN, WHO IS OWNED BY CHINA.

BIDEN SPITEFULLY KILLS JOBS PROGRAM, FURTHER HARMING THE WORKING CLASS.

FASCIST RULER JOE BIDEN SUCCUMBS TO DESPAIR OVER COVID!

UNCARING ACCUSED RAPIST JOE BIDEN STOPS PROGRAM AIMED AT DEALING WITH SEX OFFENDERS WHO ARE IN THE U.S. ILLEGALLY 

JOE BIDEN STILL REFUSES TO DECRY GOVERNOR CUOMO’S NURSING HOME MASSACRE. “Silence is consent” as Democrats say. EMMY-WINNING GENOCIDE PRACTICED BY CUOMO!

BIDEN IS JUST FINE WITH THE CHINESE GENOCIDE AGAINST THE UIGHUR! JOE BIDEN IS A BLOOD-STAINED BUTCHER FOR SUPPORTING HIS CHINESE OWNERS’ BRUTAL POLICIES!

BIDEN AND CUOMO COVID FAILURES ARE ATROCITIES. SHEER BUTCHERY! 

EXPERT OPINION FORESEES BIDEN FAILURES WITH CHINA DUE TO HIS WEAKNESS AND CORRUPTION. Continue reading

TRUMBO (2015): DEMOCRAT HYPOCRISY IS HILARIOUS

democrat republican or awakeThe political intolerance of the shallow, uninformed and emotionally unstable fascists called Democrats knows no bounds. They unabashedly call for the personal and professional destruction of everyone who thinks differently or votes differently than they do while ignoring the fact that they are practicing their own – even more fanatical – form of McCarthyism. In fact, Democrats are such fascist filth that if someone doesn’t denounce the Democrats’ countless objects of hatred as fanatically as THEY do, they want the person destroyed. “Lack of sufficient zeal” I guess.  

This movie is further proof that American Liberals are the biggest hypocrites in history.

This movie is further proof that Democrats are the biggest hypocrites in history.

TRUMBO (2015) – How about “Are you now or have you ever been a racist or imperialist or Islamophobic or privileged?” Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know how sick I am of the increasingly meaningless Democrats vs Republicans paradigm. It’s just that right now American Democrats are far more pompous, divisive and hubristic and in need of being cut down to size.

Case in point: the movie Trumbo. Only America’s Democrats could be so lacking in self-awareness that they would – in this age of non-stop harassment of dissenting opinions, of police, of Trump supporters, an age of Cancel Culture, the Political Correctness Police and SJW persecutors – yes, only the monumentally hypocritical trash called Democrats would be so lacking in self-awareness that they would trot out (for the millionth time) the story of Dalton Trumbo and some of the other figures who were black-listed during the Communist Witch Hunt of decades ago.

For the past few decades Left-Wing Archie Bunkers  have been the ones black-listing and inflicting draconian punishments on people who dare to hold different political opinions than they do.

We are still suffering under the “Racist” and “Privilege” and “White Supremacy” Witch Hunts that Democrats continue to pursue with the same sickeningly judgmental attitude and spurious statistics that Joe McCarthy was accused of. How many careers (and therefore lives) have we all seen ruined by the cold, merciless asses of the political left? Often over  simple remarks or organizations the victims belonged to or political contributions they made YEARS earlier. Plus DemoKKKrats accuse people of being racists/ white supremacists as a scare tactic the way accusations of being a Communist were used back then.

Anyone under 30 (maybe even 40) who watches Trumbo needs to focus on the OBVIOUS parallels to the way Democrats hound and persecute dissenters and any behavior they choose to interpret as “racism” or more generally as “hate.” When you watch right-wing zealots obsessively looking for “pernicious communism” and “secret communist messages” in Trumbo’s screenplays make a point of noting the similarities to the way Democrat zealots obsessively look for “white supremacy”, “xenophobia”, “imperialism,” “colonial narratives” and on and on through the entire list of their paranoid fixations.  

Democrats are monumental hypocrites who thrive on censoring dissenting ideas and black-listing people who hold those ideas even though they pretended to disapprove of censorship and black-listing when those tactics were used against them. Continue reading

DEMOCRAT ATROCITY ROUNDUP: FEBRUARY 17th

WE NEED THIRD PARTIES! Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents the latest edition of Democrat Atrocity Roundup:

Biden is creepy*** BIDEN CONTINUES LYING ABOUT CAPITOL OFFICER’S DEATH FROM JANUARY 6th PROTEST EVEN AFTER THE NEW YORK TIMES WALKS BACK THEIR ATROCIOUSLY WRONG ARTICLE. No determined cause of death and the Democrats still won’t discuss that aspect, presumably since that doesn’t support their claim that the officer was “murdered” by Trump supporters. (As if Democrats actually care about police getting killed in the first place. Uh. Yeah. Right.)

*** BIDEN, GOVERNOR CUOMO AND DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLETS LIED TO COVER UP CUOMO’S ATROCIOUS MISHANDLING OF NEW YORK’S COVID PROBLEM – How many people died because the Democrats were so crazed with Trump-hatred that they kept claiming Cuomo was “the national role model” for responses to Covid? Democrats even awarded him a spite-Emmy for his Covid briefings simply because Trump was criticizing him.  By their thinking ANYONE arguing with Trump must be all things wonderful. No need to look into them. – Democrats. You. Are. Garbage. 

*** BIDEN AND OTHER DEMOCRATS RECEIVED TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN “DARK MONEY” IN 2020.

*** BIDEN RELEASING ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSERS INTO THE  U.S. WITHOUT TESTING FOR COVID. Continue reading

PRESIDENT TRUMP AGAIN DEFEATS AMERICA’S CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION

Trump in the wayIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog is happy to report that America’s organized crime gangs called the Democrat and Republican Parties continue to enhance de facto Third Party President Donald Trump’s status as a folk hero! They doctored videotape “evidence,” they violated the Constitution by trying to impeach a president after they told us he was out of office AND they tried to pretend that the January 6th protests over vote fraud and other issues from the forever tainted 2020 election were “an insurrection.” LMAO.

Remember, I’m a former Democrat who spent years of my life around them and trust me, Democrats feel nothing but contempt for the Capitol Building and also feel contempt for people who DO revere the Capitol Building and its “symbolism” so it was especially nauseating to hear them act like they cared about anything except political theater with their absurd overreaction to the events of January 6th.

At any rate, instead of letting Trump peter out into a spent force the Democrats decided to make him even MORE of a martyr and a figure of hopeful defiance for the working class and the poor by trying this idiotic impeachment attempt. 

With his image as a maverick populist hero who fights America’s corrupt politicians cemented, here’s another revisiting of the blog post I wrote when Trump first won in 2016: Continue reading

1912 – BATTLE OF THE THREE PRESIDENTS

masc chair and bottleHappy Presidents Day Weekend! Balladeer’s Blog’s seasonal posts continue with this look at the presidential election of 1912.

I won’t bury this item in unnecessary detail to the point where it becomes boring. My emphasis will be on its three-way battle’s relevance to us today. 

Woodrow WilsonDEMOCRAT: Woodrow Wilson, the victor. To this very day many Republicans blame Wilson for starting the country on its path toward all the things they don’t like.

They ignore the fact that their own party’s movers and shakers of the time spitefully ensured Wilson’s victory by refusing to accept the popular Theodore Roosevelt as the Republican candidate.

That drove him to the Third Party called the Progressive Party, thus splitting the anti-Wilson vote in such a way that enabled the Democrat to win.

Theodore RooseveltPROGRESSIVE: Former Republican President Theodore Roosevelt had come out of retirement to run again because he was thoroughly disenchanted with his hand-picked successor, incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft.

The reason? Theodore felt that Taft was undoing the few inroads that he (Theodore) had made against the moneyed rich pig class. Republican tycoons of the time often expressed their feeling that Teddy was a traitor to his class – an accusation that they would REALLY overuse against Theodore’s Democrat cousin Franklin Roosevelt decades later.   Continue reading

SIXTEEN NEGLECTED SECRETARIES OF STATE

masc chair and bottleWith President’s Day coming here’s a look at some of the people who proved pivotal to the administrations of the Presidents of the United States. Many of those Secretaries may not be household names here in the 21st Century but they would definitely stand out on any staff. Here is an examination of sixteen such figures in chronological order.

Figures like James G Blaine, William Seward, and Henry Kissinger are so well-known that they are not included on this list.

Timothy Pickering1. TIMOTHY PICKERING (1795-1800)

Served under: Presidents George Washington and John Adams

Noted for: Conspiring with Alexander Hamilton to undermine some of the policies of the Washington and Adams administrations. When Adams discovered this he ordered Pickering to resign, but Pickering refused, forcing Adams to fire him. Pickering remains the only Secretary of State to officially be fired by the President.

Henry Clay2. HENRY CLAY (1825-1829)

Served under: President John Quincy Adams

Noted for: Fighting a duel with Senator John Randolph, one of Clay’s critics who felt he had struck a “corrupt bargain” with Adams to get this prized cabinet position. Also for completing the first commerce treaties between the young United States and the various nations in Scandinavia and Latin America.

John Forsyth3. JOHN FORSYTH (1834-1841)

Served under: Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren

Noted for: Obtaining long-disputed reparations from France for U.S. commercial losses suffered during the Napoleonic Wars. Also for threatening to resign early in Van Buren’s administration before his relationship with the new president improved. Continue reading
