This time it’s Joan Jett’s cover of the old AC/DC song Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

DEMOCRATS: MORE NEW SLOGANS
Balladeer’s Blog’s initial set of sarcastic new slogans for the Democrats was such a hit here are some more. As always my criticism of the DemoKKKrats is in NO WAY an endorsement of Republican politicians, who are just like the piece of garbage Paul Ryan.
Anyway, Democrats have become such repulsive people that I like to “raise awareness” with them regarding the fact that their pompous snobbery is itself the type of bigotry they pretend to oppose.
FOR THE ORIGINAL LIST CLICK HERE
DEMOCRATS: WE ARE THE FASCISTS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
DEMOCRATS: IT’S EASIER TO JUST CONSTANTLY TELL EVERYONE HOW COMPASSIONATE YOU THINK YOU ARE THAN IT IS TO ACTUALLY BE COMPASSIONATE!
DEMOCRATS: OPPRESSING PEOPLE WHILE POSING AS THE OPPRESSED!
Balladeer’s Blog
DEMOCRATS: FILING COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO SAY SOMETHING WE DISAGREE WITH IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF ACTIVISM!
DEMOCRATS: PROUDLY REPRESENTING COWARDLY HYPOCRITES, POMPOUS SNOBS AND HILARIOUSLY PRETENTIOUS ASSES!
DEMOCRATS: WE’RE EVEN BETTER AT SCREWING OVER THE POOR AND THE WORKING CLASS THAN THE REPUBLICANS ARE!
DEMOCRATS: IF THE COUNTRY IS SPLIT ALMOST 50-50 THAT MEANS THAT ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH US ARE BEING “DIVISIVE” … NEVER US!
DEMOCRATS: WE RUINED LIBERALISM! WE RUINED THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM! WE RUINED THE COURT SYSTEM AND UNDERMINED THE ELECTORAL PROCESS ITSELF! PLEASE DON’T STOP US NOW!

CAMILLE PAGLIA BLAMES THE DEMOCRATS FOR DESTROYING JOURNALISM WITH THEIR ANTI-TRUMP HYSTERIA
Professor Camille Paglia – another of us former Democrats (like President Trump himself) who have grown disgusted with how low that party has sunk – weighed in on the circus that the Democrats’ corporate media has reduced itself to.
Fake News was one of the topics Paglia discussed. The link is below. First some excerpts:
Paglia called what she said the Democratic Party has done to journalism “absolutely grotesque” and warned it would take decades to recover.
“It’s obscene,” she said. “It’s outrageous, OK? It shows that the Democrats are nothing now but words and fantasy and hallucination and Hollywood. There’s no journalism left. What’s happened to The New York Times? What’s happened to the major networks? It’s an outrage.”
“And I think it’s absolutely grotesque the way my party has destroyed journalism. Right now, it is going to take decades to recover from this atrocity that’s going on where the news media have turned themselves over to the most childish fraternity, kind of buffoonish behavior.” Continue reading

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SERPICO
Remember the real-life Serpico? If not, he was the cop who blew the lid off the way taking bribes was a way of life for virtually the entire New York City Police Department for decades.
Even the cops who weren’t on the take practiced omerta and refused to talk about the way all the others WERE on the take.
Our de facto Third Party President Donald Trump is a political Serpico – hated by the crooked because he’s not part of their bought and paid for club.
America’s political officials have been rotten to the core for a very, very long time. They are going to hate ANYONE who exposes their corruption. Compared to them even a black-hearted, swashbuckling rogue like Donald Trump can emerge on the side of the figurative angels.

WANG CHUNG: TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.
Balladeer’s Blog presents another edition of “Give Them A Shoutout Before They’re Dead.” This time around it’s to Wang Chung, for their memorable soundtrack for the INCREDIBLY underappreciated movie To Live and Die in L.A.
The movie was from some of the creative team behind Miami Vice and was often described as “Film Noir Meets MTV.” After a teaser depicting Secret Service Agent Richard Chance and his partner saving the U.S. president from a Muslim terrorist the main story focuses on the often-neglected role of the U.S. Secret Service: fighting counterfeiters.
Ironically the movie features top scenes from the novel it’s based on, yet presents the story with the exact opposite meaning that the novel offers. Both are enjoyable but in entirely different ways – the film as flash and the book as substance.
And Robert Downey SENIOR has a small role for you trivia buffs.

DEMOCRATS: NEW SLOGANS
Here at Balladeer’s Blog I am STILL fascinated with so much of the political realignment going on in this country. The latest word is that some of the DemoKKKrats have at last realized that their ridiculous slogan “Resistance” just isn’t working out like they’d hoped.
They’re trying out “A Better Deal,” since long ago when Democrats actually cared about the working class they had some success with FDR’s New Deal and Truman’s Fair Deal. (And remember, my criticism of the DemoKKKrats is in NO WAY an endorsement of the Republicans, too many of whom are like that piece of garbage Paul Ryan.)
Here are some appropriate slogans that the Democrats should consider:
DEMOCRATS: APPEALING TO THE WORST ASPECTS OF HUMAN NATURE FOR ROUGHLY TWO HUNDRED YEARS!
DEMOCRATS: WE’D RATHER SEE THOUSANDS OF YOU PEASANTS GET KILLED THAN SEE ONE SINGLE MUSLIM TERRORIST INCONVENIENCED AT AN AIRPORT!
DEMOCRATS: BEFORE REPUBLICAN JOSEPH MCCARTHY THERE WAS DEMOCRAT MARTIN DIES!
DEMOCRATS: WE’LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU PEASANTS FOR HUMILIATING ME SO BADLY! (I understand Hillary Clinton suggested this one.)
DEMOCRATS: WE CAUSED THE DOMESTIC SPREAD OF SLAVERY, THE TRAIL OF TEARS, THE JAPANESE INTERNMENT, THE SPOILS SYSTEM AND THE KKK, THEN PASSED THE BLAME ON TO THE REST OF YOU!
DEMOCRATS: PROTECTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE SCUM CALLED AMERICAN CITIZENS!
DEMOCRATS: REMEMBER “DON’T TRUST ANYONE OVER THIRTY?” WE’VE ADJUSTED THAT TO “DON’T TRUST ANYONE UNDER SEVENTY OR OVER TWENTY-ONE!”
DEMOCRATS: YOU PEONS NEED TO GET USED TO THE FACT THAT THIS COUNTRY EXISTS SOLELY TO PERPETUATE PRIVILEGES FOR OUR POLITICAL PARTY! Continue reading

SNOPES DEFENDS PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM THE NON-STOP LIES OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA
Trump-haters truly need professional help given the nature and scale of the bizarre lies they continue to try pushing about President Trump, our de facto Third Party President.
Snopes defended the President in an article titled, “The Lies of Donald Trump’s Critics, and How They Shape His Many Personas.”
(Map: In red are counties Trump took and in blue are counties Hillary took)
As for Snopes, here are some excerpts and the link:
What’s remarkable is the extent to which false claims about the President revolve around body language, nonverbal gestures and symbolism, all phenomena that are notoriously open to interpretation. These lies and misrepresentations are also often based on snapshots — visual evidence presented without proper context.
Take, for example, the claim that Trump was the only world leader at a G7 summit in May not to take notes, based on a photograph posted to Twitter by French President Emannuel Macron. Here Trump was portrayed as unprepared and out of his depth on the world stage, with a “ten-second attention span”.
However, the claim was entirely untrue, with other images and video of the meeting showing that Trump did indeed have notes and a pen. Not only that, but the very image used to make the false claim clearly shows two other world leaders sitting with no note-taking paraphernalia. In this case, even the cherry-picked evidence chosen to make the point undermines it.
They also debunked the Democrat claim that Trump flipped the bird to Italian PM Paolo Gentiloni:
Except that he didn’t. The original source of the claim is revealing — the Twitter account of GiveHimTheFinger.com, an anti-Trump website that encourages his opponents to send the White House postcards designed as a middle finger.
A longer video of the discussion shows that Trump and Gentiloni spoke cordially before the incident, which undermines the implicit logic behind the claim — that Trump was expressing anger or disdain for Gentiloni. Indeed, no one has ever explained why Trump supposedly flipped him the bird.
Another terrific bit here:
And then there’s Newsweek’s claim that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi “evaded” Trump’s “notorious… bone-crunching power handshake”, about which there has been a seemingly endless supply of every imaginable kind of analysis.
“In his visit to the White House Monday,” wrote Tom Porter in June, “Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi neatly sidestepped the challenge, swooping in for two bear hugs with the president during a joint press conference in the Rose Garden.” What’s missing from this account, in a theme repeated throughout this collection, is historical context, either by deliberate omission or due to the author’s lack of awareness.
Modi, as has long been noted, is famous for hugging world leaders, a gesture he bestowed upon Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama, as well as the last two presidents of France, among others. Rather than being an example of yet another world leader “fighting back” (as the Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland has described what are essentially firm handshakes), this was an example of India’s prime minister continuing to greet another world leader in the way he always has.

MUSLIM ATROCITY ROUNDUP: JULY 17th
MUSLIM VIOLENCE AWARENESS YEAR CONTINUES.
First off, a tribute to the memory of REAL feminist Qandeel Baloch, a pioneer for women in the Muslim World itself. She was murdered in what Muslim fascists call “honor killings” a year ago.
Clueless American emotional cripples who pretend to be college students (aka Democrats) try to pretend that their lives of privilege on campus are “just as dangerous” as the lives of women in TRUE peril.
AND BY THE WAY, DEMOCRAT ENABLERS OF MUSLIM FASCIST VIOLENCE ARE SO CLUELESS THEY ARE MORE AND MORE TRYING TO GIVE CREDIT TO ISLAM FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE PRE-ISLAMIC ARAB CULTURES OF THE MIDDLE EAST. One percenter Carlos Slim’s New York Times is especially guilty of that idiocy.
At any rate here are just a FEW of the most recent atrocities boasted about by Muslim fascists.
July 12th: Maiduguri, Nigeria – Muslim fascist suicide bombers killed NINETEEN innocent people and injured TWENTY-THREE more.
July 13th: Waza, Cameroon – Two female Muslim suicide bombers killed FIFTEEN innocent people and injured FORTY-TWO more. Continue reading

MOTHER JONES: MELANIA TRUMP IS THE GREATEST FIRST LADY SINCE JACKIE KENNEDY
With the mean-spirited slug Michelle Obama slithering back into public view this week, THE Mother Jones – Mary Harris Jones – decided to grant another posthumous interview to Balladeer’s Blog.
Balladeer’s Blog: You seem excited about something, “Mother” Jones.
Mother Jones: I am! I was admiring the way First Lady Melania Trump – who speaks more languages than both Obamas – has been dazzling the world lately!
BB: Now that you mention it, she HAS been, and it’s been fun watching Trump-haters froth at the mouth over it.
MJ: The people who hate the Trumps are the same wealthy pigs who hated me when I was alive. Anyway, Melania’s charismatic tour de force made me reflect on what a nice change of pace she is from that bitter, frowning sow Michelle Obama. Did you see Melania with those children in Italy? Wonderful! Michelle would have been chiding the children about “white privilege” or some such thing. Continue reading
