MOTHER JONES: RECOMMENDED LINKS

mother-jonesRecently Balladeer’s Blog had another posthumous interview with Mary Harris Jones aka “Mother” Jones. Despite passing away in 1930 Mother Jones told me she is still a devoted fan of de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. As usual I tried to rein in her enthusiasm for the Donald during the following interview but Mother Jones is a strong female character and is very empowered so she simply would not be denied. I know, right?

BALLADEER’S BLOG: Well, Mother Jones, in our past discussions you’ve called President Trump the new Franklin Roosevelt AND the new Harry Truman. You’ve also compared him to real-life heroes like Frank Serpico and cinematic heroes like Robert Redford’s Brubaker.

Trump supporterMOTHER JONES: And don’t forget I compared him to the character Richard Channing on the old soap opera Falcon Crest.

BB: Yes, of course. Have you been following the latest revelations about the corrupt actions taken against Trump by the rightfully despised thugs of America’s so-called “Intelligence Community?”

MJ: You bet I have! I told you last time about the Businessman’s Plot against Franklin Roosevelt long ago and the same type of bloated rich pigs have been attacking President Trump. Republican trash like Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy are already selling out and trying to defend the corrupt forces aligned against the Donald.

Donald Trump rock starBB: The past few years have certainly been shocking. Many have pointed out what an unlikely hero President Trump has turned out to be for the working class AND for all of us Third Party people who have been longing for attempted reforms to the Washington D.C. Swamp.

MJ: You know it, sonny! If we absolutely HAVE to have a tycoon as president at least let it be a tycoon with a sense of noblesse oblige like FDR and JFK. Trump is cut from the same cloth.

BB: I’m not quite as enthusiastic about him as you are, but –

MJ: Pipe down, already! I’ve got a bunch of links to share with your readers. Here we go:

*** Don Surber has been on fire lately with a lot of items about President Trump fighting BOTH the crooked Democrats AND the crooked Republicans. First is his item The Party of Trump in which he points out how the Democrats abandoned the working class and the poor. Find it HERE

*** Surber’s wonderful item in which THE 2016 DEMOCRATS WERE SAYING HILLARY COULD PARDON HERSELF IF ELECTED – find it HERE

Such hypocrites! And Surber had this bit titled The Left Comes to Grips with Obama’s Failure – HERE

*** American Thinker had this item about Susan Power and her ridiculous claim that “someone else in the Obama Administration” used her security clearance to unmask Americans corruptly targeted by “Intelligence Community” thugs. It’s HERE

Henry HaHa Davis*** And here’s yet ANOTHER figure of color praising President Trump and encouraging more African Americans to recognize that he has done more for them than the Democrats have in decades. Click HERE

DEMOCRAT ATROCITY ROUNDUP: JUNE 4th

democrats and poor peopleIt’s time for another Democrat atrocity roundup! The party of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F Kennedy has become unrecognizable. I’ve laid out plenty of reasons in the past regarding how and why they’ve driven away so many of us former members.

Among their latest exercises in the politics of sheer spite was their passionate defense of MS13, the gang whose motto is “KILL, RAPE, CONTROL.” Okay, I’ll admit KILL, RAPE, CONTROL would make an appropriate motto for the Democrats themselves in some ways, but in this case the reason behind the Democrats’ insane defense of MS13 was … because many of them are illegal immigrants on top of their other crimes. And “Illegal immigrants uber alles” is THE sentiment that governs the Democrats.  

And because it is ALWAYS fun to puncture the pomposity of Democrat asses who think that only Republican asses are disgusting:    Continue reading

AEROSMITH: EAT THE RICH

Mascot new lookBalladeer’s Blog’s recurring segment Give Them A Shoutout Before They’re Dead strikes again. This time it’s a shoutout to Aerosmith and their song Eat the Rich. In this age of bloated rich pigs like Tom Steyer, George Soros, Mark “Skippy” Zuckerberg and the Koch Brothers using their wealth to subvert the ballot box it’s tough not to smile at this song’s lyrics.

SOLO: BOOK REVIEW

SoloSOLO (1980) – Written by Jack Higgins. Solo is not exactly one of my favorite espionage novels but it is definitely my favorite by Jack Higgins. It’s the story of efforts to catch an international assassin code-named the Cretan Lover. Luckily that ludicrous codename is often shortened to just “The Cretan” throughout the novel. I’ll use the same review format that I used for my look at The Top Seven Robert Ludlum Novels.

TIME PERIOD: From approximately 1960 to the late 1970s.

MAIN CHARACTER: John Mikali, a Greek concert pianist of much renown who leads a double life as the aforementioned Cretan Lover aka The Cretan. Mikali is descended from a fictional naval hero of the Greek War of Independence in the 1800s. His family remains wealthy and prominent, with his grandfather being an erudite and outspoken critic of the Colonels who seized control of Greece.

Young John himself is a gifted pianist but after getting drawn into a vendetta against the man who accidentally killed his beloved grandmother he fled into the French Foreign Legion. Despite his fey background John Mikali thrived in the Legion AND in the Algerian War, proving to be a ruthless, cold-hearted man who could kill enemy soldiers or non-combatants with equal skill and nonchalance.

MUSLIM RAPE GANGS UPSET THE BRITISH GOVT LESS THAN A JOURNALIST COVERING THE TRIAL

Tommy RobinsonObviously I still encourage everyone who has not yet signed the FREE TOMMY ROBINSON petition to do so if they care about the British government’s ridiculous and repeated instances of clamping down on the public’s right to know the full story about the Muslim rape and grooming gangs of Rotherham and elsewhere.

If only the British authorities would show the same concern for the young ladies – some of just SINGLE DIGIT AGES – getting raped and groomed. I’ve covered this topic plenty in the past, especially the excuses used by the police and government reps who looked the other way to – in their own words – “avoid being accused of Islamophobia.”

As I pointed out long ago the new version of “I was only following orders” is “I didn’t want to be accused of Islamophobia.” Both excuses boil down to “I didn’t want to risk embarrassment or trouble by speaking out about the outrages I witnessed.”

Since I’ve written plenty on this topic here’s another man’s perspective, put brilliantly and unflinchingly. The link is below but first some excerpts:

“I observed, as I have before, how in almost the entirety of the western world, whenever anyone draws attention to some of the more problematic aspects of Islam, the state cracks down not on the problematic aspects, but on the guy who draws attention thereto.”

Free Tommy“On Friday, Robinson was livestreaming (from his telephone) outside Leeds Crown Court where last week’s Grooming Gang of the Week were on trial for “grooming” – the useless euphemism for industrial-scale child gang rape and sex slavery by large numbers of Muslim men with the active connivance (as I pointed out to the Sky guys) of every organ of the state: social workers, police, politicians. Oh, and also the media. Me last year, on my time in a certain municipality about thirty miles south of Leeds:

Tracking down the victims of Rotherham required a bit of elementary detective work on my part, but it’s not that difficult. What struck me, as my time in town proceeded, was how few members of the British media had been sufficiently interested to make the effort: The young ladies were unstoppably garrulous in part because, with a few honorable exceptions, so few of their countrymen have ever sought them out to hear their stories.

 “So on Friday he was outside the Crown Court in Leeds. He was not demonstrating, or accosting or chanting, or even speaking. He was just pointing his mobile phone upon the scene from a distance. Within minutes, seven coppers showed up in whatever they use instead of a Black Maria these days, tossed him inside it and drove off. In other words, these were not “investigating officers” called to the scene: They showed up with the intent to take him away. Within hours, he was tried, convicted and gaoled – at HM Prison Hull, a Category B chokey, or one level below maximum security. The judge in the case, one Geoffrey Marson, spent all of four minutes on trying, convicting and sentencing Robinson.” 

“Rod Liddle notes another aspect – the contrast between the urgency of the flatfeet when it comes to Tommy Robinson and their utter lethargic indifference when it comes to the young women I spoke to in Rotherham and the thousands of others like them in Leeds, Telford, Oxford, [Your Town Here]… West Yorkshire Police in Leeds are not to be confused with South Yorkshire Police in Rotherham. The latter are institutionally corrupt and depraved. As I told (readers) last year of my meeting with the victims of Rotherham:

“To Mad Ash and his fellow ‘Asians’, the likes of Jessica and Katie are ‘white slags’. To Her Majesty’s Constabulary, they’re mere ‘Paki-shaggers’, and thus unworthy of valuable police resources. The girls recall the night Mad Ash’s brother Bannaras was in his car having sex with a twelve-year-old. A ‘jam sandwich’ – a police cruiser – pulled up alongside, and the officer rolled down the window. ‘She’s just sucking my c**k, mate,’ said Bannaras Hussain.

The cops drove away…

Jessica kept a detailed diary of what had happened to her. She took it to the cops. It ‘disappeared’. There was one kindly officer, but the others told him to back off, and, when he didn’t, he died in an accident. Katie puts the word ‘accident’ in air quotes. Rotherham is a land of coincidence. ‘Some of these things can happen, but not all of them, not in one town.’

A couple of years after taking them her diary, Jessica went back to see the police. This time the detective told her none of the officers who’d witnessed her abuse would support her story because if they gave evidence at trial they’d wind up ‘getting in the shit’. She left the room having taken the precaution of covertly recording the conversation. And thus the cover-up began to unravel…” Continue reading

TRANSGRESS WITH ME: MAY 28th

mascot new look donkey and elephant heads*** It’s another installment of Transgress With Me. Like so many people here in the U.S. I used to consider myself a Liberal until American Liberals became nothing but cowardly hypocrites, pompous snobs, hilariously pretentious asses and political robots who show mindless, unquestioning obedience to the Democrat Party.

I certainly don’t fit into the category of Conservatives either, so, since neither of the two most out-of-date and increasingly meaningless political labels don’t apply to me, feel free to consider me a Socialist or a Populist or an Anarchist if you absolutely have to have a quick descriptive term.

I still wish more people would abandon these kinds of labels anyway. The best conversations I’ve had in recent years – either real-life OR online – have been with other people who set aside the outdated “shirts vs skins” attitudes of the past and simply communicate as human being to human being.

*** Never believe white Democrats about how women, people of color and gay people feel about various issues. They have a DIVERSITY of opinions and are not the monolithic “mobs with a single mind” like Democrats always try to depict groups they pretend to “own.”

*** If the Democrat and Republican Parties splintered into multiple smaller parties it might be the most peaceful way of subverting the cesspool of corruption that masquerades as our government. Continue reading

DANIEL GREENFIELD: CIA OR CNN? THE MEDIA DEEP STATE’S ECHO CHAMBER

Mascot with demo and repub headsHere at Balladeer’s Blog I am STILL fascinated by the ongoing exposure of exactly how corrupt and rotted the Democrats and Republicans have made the American political system. De facto Third Party President Donald Trump calls the latest revelations “Spygate” but no matter what you call it it is nauseating to see partisan zealots defending the misconduct of America’s rightfully hated “Intelligence Community” – the CIA, FBI ,NSA, etc.

Daniel Greenfield has a terrific piece on it – click HERE
