JULY ELEVENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does another current events roundup from an America where anti-Trump loons continue to prove that they make absolutely NO effort to determine if their insane claims about him are true

        For just one example, they’re still hysterically blaming things on Trump budget cuts THAT HAVEN’T EVEN GONE INTO EFFECT YET.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PEDOPHILE RING BUSTED BY ICE IN MINNEAPOLIS. Democrats, who like to pretend such rings don’t exist, are outraged, of course. If they had their way the ring would still be in operation. Right, Governor Walz? 

DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLETS CLAIMING THAT THE THAI AND LAOTIAN-RUN RING IN MINNEAPOLIS JUST HAD A “CULTURAL MISUNDERSTANDING.” Democrats, can you ONCE side with victims of crime instead of the perpetrators? 

EVEN DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET CNN NOW ADMITTING THAT THERE IS NO BASIS FOR BLAMING PRESIDENT TRUMP REGARDING THE TEXAS FLOODING. Same old anti-Trump tactics – hysterical shrieking followed days later by quiet corrections.

ICE RAIDS CALIFORNIA MARIJUANA FARM ON DRUG, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT AND CHILD LABOR VIOLATIONS. More about the children being used HERE. Needless to say, Democrat Governor Newsome defended those arrested and called Trump “real scum” for the raid. Unreal.

PRESIDENT TRUMP MOVES TO PROTECT FORTY BILLION DOLLARS IN TAXPAYER FUNDED BENEFITS PROGRAMS FROM ILLEGAL USE BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Financially comfortable Democrats who don’t need to rely on those benefits like the working class and the poor do are, of course, upset. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: JULY NINTH

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.

MORE ECONOMIC EXPERTS ADMIT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT TARIFF MANAGEMENT ALL ALONG.

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

PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES AWAY WITH BIDEN REGIME RULE TO LET NON-CITIZEN FARMERS ENJOY UNION COLLECTIVE BARGAINING RIGHTS BUT NOT AMERICAN FARMERS. People warned Democrat fascists that their grotesque excesses would come back to bite them.

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE AGAINST ICE AGENTS.     SAN ANTONIO CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE MATTHEW GAUNA CALLED OUT BY DHS FOR HIS STATEMENT “I WANNA SEE A FEW DEAD ICE AGENTS, LOS ANGELES! DON’T LET ME DOWN”. What an animal. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE.       

HERE’S YET ANOTHER LOOK AT THE HATE-FILLED GIBBERISH FROM THE VIOLENT DEMOCRAT MOBS WHO PRETEND TO BE “PEOPLE WITH EMPATHY.”  Continue reading

INDIANA JONES REBOOT RUMORS

The buzz surrounding the planned reboot of Indiana Jones reminded me of my blog post from five and a half years ago. That post was prompted by the news that Steven Spielberg declined to direct the upcoming fifth movie in the Indiana Jones franchise –  

Chris Pratt“In the past I’ve mentioned how foolish it is to think that Harrison Ford MUST play Indy in all the movies. James Bond and Tarzan are just two recurring heroes that have survived multiple casting changes over the years.

“The obvious move long ago would have been to cast a younger actor – say, Chris Pratt – as Indiana Jones and detail some of his earlier adventures. I love the Roaring Twenties so I think it would have been great to see Dr. Jones’ activities in that decade.

“Since it would be before Raiders of the Lost Ark even Belloq (maybe Gary Oldman) could appear in a few installments. I can’t possibly be alone in wanting to see some of those “many stimulating encounters” that Belloq referred to having with Indy in Raiders.

“Belloq was French, so do a story with Dr. Jones searching for a lost relic in 1920s Vietnam. Belloq’s hoity-toity family could be among the French plantation owners there, helping to set up a clash with our hero. Or have the two vying with each other to recover ancient Russian artifacts from violent factions of Red and White Russians in the years after the Russian Civil War. Any number of things.

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.

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.

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

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.

ROCK HUDSON’S SWASHBUCKLER FILMS

Time for a look at Rock Hudson’s overlooked swashbuckler movies.

SEA DEVILS (1953) – As England and other nations battle France in 1800, English Captain Gilliatt (Rock Hudson) has abandoned his career as a fisherman to become a smuggler. He excels at the task and over the past few years he and his ship the Sea Devil have gained quite a reputation.

The wily and sea-savvy Gilliatt’s latest cargo to smuggle is Droucette (Yvonne De Carlo), a fugitive French aristocrat acting undercover to save her brother from the guillotine in Revolutionary France.

Amid much swordplay and other action during frequent trips across the Channel, Gilliatt struggles to keep her alive and understand the motives of this beautiful woman with whom he has fallen in love.

Droucette for a time seems to secretly be an agent for Napoleon but then turns out to be a double agent who is really working for England after all. Gilliatt prevails in the end, thwarting Napoleon’s plot to invade England and rescuing Droucette from death on the guillotine.    Continue reading
