HAS TO BE SAID: SEPTEMBER 18th

Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog it’s time for another installment of “Has to be Said.”   

PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO READ MEDIA OUTLETS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE. I’ve pointed out several times that since I’m an Independent Voter I read everything I can from both Democrat media outlets and Republican media outlets. (No, media outlets are not unbiased now, nor were they EVER. I vented about that HERE.)

I have bashed presidents and other politicians from both major parties in the U.S. I can provide links to my blog posts in which I have slammed Republicans AND Democrats over the years, and that is something that people who try trolling me cannot say for themselves.

And I’ve also mentioned that I go after whichever party is being worse at the time. If I was writing this blog post during the time of the execrable George W. Bush I’d be focusing on bashing him. I wouldn’t be dissuaded by people saying “Hey, how come you only bash one side?” Similarly, as authoritarian, destructive and intolerant as Democrats are right now and have been for a very long time they deserve to be called out.

Seeing the way a lot of Americans and many people overseas so blindly fall into a “smirking jackass attitude” whenever Democrat media outlets (which the clueless Republican Party has allowed to vastly outnumber their own media outlets) choose to distort the words of a political figure. To avoid using a Trump example, since many otherwise reasonable people become raving loons at the mention of his name, here’s an example from years before President Trump even ran for office.

*** One of America’s female Republicans (which one is not important to this example) was speaking at a Tea Party event and closed by exhorting her audience to “Party like it’s 1773.”

Democrat snob

Democrats all across the media and the internet had a field day ridiculing the woman for saying that. In their usual prickish, pompous manner American leftists assumed the woman had meant to say 1776, which was the year the Declaration of Independence was signed, but NOT the year of the Boston Tea Party. Democrat asses repeated their snobbish “Republicans are stupid” meme over and over again because of her reference, which they clearly misunderstood.

Actually, since the Boston Tea Party, the event the Tea Party takes its name from, happened in 1773 – NOT 1776 – the Republican woman had the right year. That simple fact was lost and/or ignored in the slew of jokes about how “historically illiterate” Republicans supposedly were for defending the woman. Talk shows, news shows, internet humor outlets all ran with the usual “Republicans are morons” sentiment for several days.  

Let me emphasize this for overseas readers: the people who had the historical reference RIGHT became national laughingstocks and were being ridiculed as “stupid” by the people who were WRONG about the historical reference. And those wrong people included plenty from other countries. Continue reading

ANTI-TRUMPERS CONTINUE THEIR QUEST TO MAKE HIM A MARTYR

assassination attempt means ...

Stop Democrat ViolenceHere at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I want to note that America’s official Hate Group – the Democrats – have apparently moved on from abusing the courts to persecute political enemies to justifying assassination attempts by blaming the victim.

           But as Democrats would no doubt say, they’ve been “mostly peaceful” assassination attempts. (And by the way, those alleged “bomb threats” in Ohio that Democrats were trying to blame on Trump and Vance have been revealed as HOAXES CALLED IN FROM OVERSEAS! More HERE.)

After what I wrote following the first attempt on President Trump’s life, there’s not much new to add. The Democrat hatemongers are just as loud and spiteful as ever with their comparisons of Trump to Hitler and implying he’s a threat to democracy, the Secret Service and FBI are just as steeped in corruption and ineptitude, and worthless one percenter entertainers still think their delicate little feelings over being called cat ladies are somehow equal to the suffering of the poor and working class under policies that Kamala Harris pushes.

           Those entertainers whose own homes stand on stolen land, AND who could easily donate all but three or four million dollars of their obscene fortunes to charity and offer up their extra mansions for housing the poor and needy. Instead they simper about their trivial concerns. So uncaring and callous.

DEMOCRAT DAVE ARONBERG TRIES JUSTIFYING ONLY CHARGING THE ALLEGED WOULD-BE ASSASSIN WITH MINOR GUN CHARGES. I wonder if the thinking goes “Democrats don’t want Trump getting a boost from this second assassination attempt, so let’s all downplay the entire situation.” Plus the FBI man in charge of the investigation is notably anti-Trump. 

THE BABYLON BEE NAILED DEMOCRAT SLIMINESS WITH THEIR MOCK HEADLINEMedia Assures Americans The Real Threat Is The Side That Keeps Getting Shot At” Very accurate!

YES, THE WOULD-BE ASSASSIN IS A DEMOCRAT DARLING – Terrific piece by fellow blogger Madd Medic – read his article HERE. More HERE. Research was done for a similar article by Not the Bee HERE.

VANCE BREAKS DOWN DEMOCRAT ANTI-TRUMP RHETORIC REPEATED BY ALLEGED ATTEMPTED ASSASSIN.  More HERE.

THE CORPORATE MEDIA WON’T STOP UNTIL TRUMP IS MURDERED. Great article. As I’ve often noted, the one-percenters in the corporate media may be the only life-forms lower than America’s CAREER politicians who’ve been in office twenty years or more.

TRUMP’S ENEMIES AGAIN FAIL TO ASSASSINATE HIM

Democrats, the most hate-filled and divisive people in 2024 America, reacted with their usual emotional instability when de facto Third Party President Donald Trump survived another attempted assassination. Like last time, I will do a full blog post about it in a day or two when the initial fog of inaccuracy passes.

For right now, here is my evergreen comedy post from years ago ridiculing the kind of hatemongers that want Trump dead. With each passing year the Democrats prove these jokes to be ever closer to reality.

DEMOCRAT SLOGANS

BALLADEER’S BLOG

“Many a true word is spoken in jest” as the old saying goes, and that becomes ever more valid by the year regarding Balladeer’s Blog’s handy list of Democrat Slogans. These slogans capture what the Democrats have REALLY become, not the glowing image that they have of themselves.

Back in 2017, when I started compiling this semi-annual post I didn’t realize how hard the Democrats would work to prove how accurate these tongue-in-cheek slogans for them are. (I used to be a Democrat until I turned Independent.)

DEMOCRATS: YOU PEASANTS ARE ALLOWED TO SAY, DO, WRITE OR POST ON THE INTERNET ONLY THOSE THINGS WHICH DON’T UPSET US DEMOCRATS.

DEMOCRATS: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF SIMPLE-MINDED FASCISTS IN LARGE NUMBERS!

DEMOCRATS: WE’RE THE CONFIRMATION BIAS COMMUNITY!

DEMOCRATS: ALL OF OUR OPINIONS SHOULD CARRY THE FORCE OF LAW!

DEMOCRATS: WE OVERUSED THE WORD “RACIST” TO THE POINT OF MEANINGLESSNESS. NOW WE’RE DOING THE SAME WITH “WHITE SUPREMACIST” AND OUR NEW FAVORITE: “TRANSPHOBE!”

DEMOCRATS: WE ARE THE FASCISTS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

DEMOCRATS: THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE TRUTH … UNLESS IT’S ONE OF OUR PARTY’S TALKING POINTS.

DEMOCRATS: WE’RE STILL WAGING WAR ON AN AMERICA THAT HASN’T EXISTED FOR DECADES!

DEMOCRATS: WE DICTATE WHAT IS OR IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IN ALL ROMANTIC AND SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS. 

DEMOCRATS: ONLY THOSE NEWS OUTLETS WHICH PANDER TO OUR PREJUDICES AND PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS ARE ACCURATE. ALL OTHERS ARE PROPAGANDA. Continue reading

SEPTEMBER THIRTEENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, coming to you from an America where we are in the usual post-presidential debate period in which the flood of stories correcting the lies told by the Democrat candidate have been coming out. Twenty-five of Kamala’s lies HERE. Related HERE. And HERE.

        (But this all could have been avoided by simply refusing to agree to a debate on ABC, where a corporate VP overseeing the “news” is close friends with Kamala Harris. AND ONE OF THE “MODERATORS” LMAO WAS KAMALA’S SORORITY SISTER.)

GREAT ITEM ABOUT HOW HARRIS’ POLICIES HAVE DESTROYED THE POOR AND THE WORKING CLASS.

NEW YORK TIMES/ SIENNA POLL: SIXTY-THREE PERCENT OF LIKELY VOTERS CORRECTLY BLAME KAMALA HARRIS FOR THE ONGOING FLOOD OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

LATEST DEMOCRAT VOTE FRAUD SCAM EXPOSED: ONLY 2.4 MILLION AMERICANS WHO LIVE OVERSEAS HAPPEN TO BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE USING TAXPAYER MONEY TO LET NINE MILLION OF THEM VOTE THIS YEAR. If only America had a competent opposition party with enough media outlets to make a difference. 

KAMALA’S “MODERATOR” (LMAO) ALLIES EVEN FAILED TO CORRECT KAMALA WHEN SHE LIED ABOUT A TRUMP STATEMENT THAT THEIR OWN NEWS REPORTS HAD STATED IS TRUE.

KAMALA HARRIS CALLED OUT AS UNFIT TO BE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF AFTER HER OUTRAGEOUS LIE THAT NO AMERICAN TROOPS ARE IN HARM’S WAY. And God knows her “moderator” (LMAO) allies weren’t going to correct her on the claim during the debate.

“KAMALANOMICS” STILL CAUSING INFLATION THAT’S CRUSHING THE WORKING CLASS AND THE POOR. More HERE. But Kamala and her one-percenter celebrity friends are doing just fine.

AND KAMALANOMICS IS DRIVING AN INCREASE IN BUSINESS BANKRUPTCIES. But Harris and her one-percenter supporters are safe from any fallout.

COURAGEOUS DEMOCRAT MARIANNE WILLIAMSON SLAMS ABC “MODERATORS” (LMAO) AND KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRETENDING THE SPRINGFIELD OHIO REPORT ISN’T BACKED BY PLENTY OF EVIDENCE. Get ready for the usual “They said Trump was lying but actually they were the liars” pattern. AND NOW A HAITIAN VOTE FRAUD SCANDAL IN OHIO, TOO!

KACKLING KAMALA’S CAMPAIGN ADMITS “SHE HELPED BIDEN DO ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE DONE BY HIM. SHE’S PROUD OF THAT.” The suffering poor and working class should tremble at those words. Continue reading

JUST LIKE THE 2020 DEBATES SAW THE DEMOCRATS LIE ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP, IN 2024 THEY LIED ABOUT MUCH MORE

Another presidential debate means that the non-Democrat candidate was lied about AND accused of lying by blatantly partisan “moderators” (LMAO). Some of my observations –  

** In the 2020 presidential debates, various anti-Trumpers pushed the now-debunked notion that the Biden Family Scandals exposed on Hunter Biden’s laptop were “Russian disinformation.” This 2024 edition saw the “moderators” (LMAO) jump in to help Kamala Harris AND let her lie about President Trump over twenty times

** The notion that presidential debate moderators are unbiased is utterly ridiculous. The Democrats know that. They pretend otherwise, but you’ll notice the Democrats weren’t foolish enough to let Kamala go on a debate “moderated” by Fox News Channel. By refusing, they prevented Kamala from looking bad and having to contend with fighting her opponent AND the “moderators” (LMAO) at the same time.

** In recent decades, opposition party presidential candidates being foolish enough to agree to Democrat terms for the debates participate in making themselves look like Margaret Dumont getting cut down by Groucho Marx or Dwight getting cut down by Jim on The Office. Stop being so willing to play straight man for the media figures ridiculing you.

** Just as the people who run the Republican Party will apparently never learn their lesson about keeping up with the Democrats in the Media Arms Race, they will apparently never learn their lesson about presidential debates.

** One of those lessons would be that both major political parties deliver ratings for the networks by making their candidates available for these debates. Grow a backbone and demand an equal number of debates on a pro-Democrat channel AND on a pro-opposition party channel. 

           For being one of only two major political parties in the U.S. the clueless Republicans STILL act like they must meekly go along with debating ONLY on outlets biased against their own presidential candidate AND with “moderators” (LMAO) who have been publicly, blatantly biased against their own candidate.

            I had hoped Trump would at last end this no-win debate situation by not showing up, especially after the Democrats overthrew Biden and installed Kamala with no democratic primary process involved. Yes, the Democrats’ media outlets would claim he was “scared” to debate Harris, but is that any worse than showing up just to figuratively get pies thrown in his face during the debate while his opponent AND the “moderators” (LMAO) share laughs about it?

** The obscene way that Kamala and her two moderator-partners in the debate ridiculed the situation in Ohio was just another example of what we have seen over and over again. The propagandists called the media will mock something Trump says, then weeks or months later the corrections finally emerge showing that Trump was right regarding what he said.

           For just one example, remember years ago when Trump referred to illegal immigrants being smuggled across the Mexican border by “coyotes”, the frequently used slang term for the traffickers sneaking the illegals across? For days the media pretended that Trump had said that actual coyotes were carrying illegals across the border. (And by the way for overseas readers, things like THIS are why so many of you seem to default to this “Trump says crazy things” attitude.) Continue reading

ALTERNATE SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH PLUS DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN PARTISAN FOOLISHNESS

Here’s Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog‘s semi-annual post regarding the 9-11 tragedy. My thoughts are with the victims and their survivors, of course, but no words are adequate to address their grief or the grief of our nation. This post contemplates an alternate world where the September 11th, 2001 attacks were stopped in time. 

A few decades ago a big deal was made over whether or not the 9-11 attacks could have been prevented by greater coordination between elements of the forever corrupt and often inept intelligence community. Amid the predictable partisan bickering and childish finger- pointing that characterized the 9-11 Commission and its findings an important consideration was overlooked.

That consideration was how events would have unfolded if the attacks had actually been thwarted. Let’s ponder both the Democrat foolishness and the Republican foolishness that would have followed the 9-11 attacks being stopped way back in 2001 with the political parties being as they were then.

THE DEMOCRAT FOOLISHNESS –  Continue reading

THE BOURNE IDENTITY (1980) MY SECOND FAVORITE ROBERT LUDLUM NOVEL

FOR BALLADEER’S BLOG’S OTHER TOP SEVEN LUDLUM NOVELS CLICK HERE.

Bourne Identity2. THE BOURNE IDENTITY (1980)

TIME PERIOD: Vietnam War era to the late 1970s.

Robert Ludlum’s most popular fictional creation – Jason Bourne (Real name David Webb) – has become as thoroughly overused, distorted and bastardized as James Bond or Sherlock Holmes. Ludlum himself already watered down the character’s original impact with two additional novels putting the amnesiac figure in increasingly ridiculous situations.

Since then other writers have churned out so many silly Bourne stories (ten at last count) to the point where Jason Bourne In Spaaaaace is the only avenue left unexplored. Or maybe a crossover with All My Sins Remembered. The Matt Damon movies use virtually nothing but the Jason Bourne name.

To me the bulk of the appeal of the original novel The Bourne Identity was that a reader only had to suspend disbelief just enough to accept an amnesiac figure surviving the unique set of circumstances presented in that story.   Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER NINTH

Another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, coming to you from an America where it’s no secret that Democrat office holders are authoritarian fascists.

BIG TECH FASCISTS AT GOOGLE CAUGHT PROHIBITING ADS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PICTURE. CHANGE THE IMAGE TO KAMALA HARRIS AND THE ADS ARE ACCEPTED. Big Tech grows worse by the year. 

DEMOCRATS’ LATEST ELECTION INTERFERENCE UGLINESS? KICKING GREEN CANDIDATES OFF THE BALLOT IN NEVADA. Getting rid of candidates who might draw votes away from Kamala Harris is the obvious goal. 

ROBERT F. KENNEDY PRAISES THE WAY DONALD TRUMP HAS MADE THE OPPOSITION PARTY THE PARTY OF “WORKING PEOPLE AND THE MIDDLE CLASS.” De facto Third Party President Trump was the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. He also kept us out of any new wars (infuriating the military-industrial complex) and made the U.S. energy-independent, plus so much more.

MEANWHILE, KAMALA HARRIS GETS ENDORSED BY EIGHTY-EIGHT MORE CORPORATE FASCISTS

EVEN THE DEMOCRAT NEWS OUTLET NBC ADMITS THAT THE FLOOD OF FENTANYL DEATHS ARE DRIVING GRIEVING PARENTS FROM THE DEMOCRATS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP. If Democrats stick to their usual playbook, that means their next move will be to insist that the Fentanyl epidemic is a “conspiracy theory” and that “America is the most Fentanyl-free nation in the world according to experts.” 

ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER ARRESTED ON CHILD PORN CHARGES. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?

KAMALA HARRIS’ ILLEGAL GANGS NOW TERRORIZING APARTMENT COMPLEXES IN DALLAS AND CHICAGO, TOO. Coming soon to an apartment complex near you if Kamala wins. More on the Colorado situation HERE.

NEW YORK CITY DEMOCRATS HANDING OUT AN ADDITIONAL SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. It’s The Party’s usual attitude of “illegal immigrants uber alles.”

DEMOCRATS STILL FIGHTING AGAINST STOPPING NON-CITIZENS FROM VOTING. Even European countries require photo i.d. to vote.

COURAGEOUS GLORIA ROMERO, ANOTHER PROMINENT CALIFORNIA DEMOCRAT, JOINS SO MANY OF US IN LEAVING THE INCREASINGLY UNHINGED DEMOCRAT PARTY. Among her remarks – “I am now another near-life-long Democrat who is joining the growing number of people, including key groups like Latinos, who are leaving the Democratic Party,” Romero said. “This is not the Democratic Party that I once championed. I do not recognize it anymore, and I cannot continue. I changed my voting registration today as the sun was rising, to Republican, which has, under Donald Trump, become the champion of working people.” Continue reading

SEPTEMBER SIXTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Time for another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, coming to you from an America where ONLY EIGHTEEN MINUTES OF THE FORTY-ONE MINUTE CNN PUFF PIECE WITH KAMALA HARRIS WAS COHERENT ENOUGH TO USE. Is she even more unfit than Joe Biden?

EVEN KAMALA SUPPORTER MARK CUBAN ADMITS HER POLICIES WOULD “KILL THE STOCK MARKET.” And thus, Kamala’s war on everyone’s 401K continues, but her one-percenter supporters like Mark Cuban (left) will be just fine.

KAMALANOMICS CALLED OUT AS RECESSION BOMB. I guess Kamala Harris feels that after helping Biden cause one recession she’s entitled to cause one herself.

MORE KAMALANOMICS: AUGUST LAYOFFS HIT RECORD HIGHS. The Harris-Biden Regime still destroying the working class and the poor, unfortunately.

walz family for trumpTIM WALZ’S FAMILY, NOT JUST HIS BROTHER, SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP. And who can blame them? More HERE.

WAR CRIMINAL VLAD PUTIN ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS. Human bacteria stick together, I guess. RELATED – TWO RUSSIAN NATIONALS INDICTED FOR FUNNELING MONEY TO ANTI-TRUMP MEDIA COMPANY.

“MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AGAIN” – PRESIDENT TRUMP LAYS OUT HIS PLANS TO SAVE THE U.S. ECONOMY JUST LIKE HE DID THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

KAMALA HARRIS’ ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CONTINUE TO DESTROY LIVES AND MORE. * Harris-Biden DOJ caught covering up the names of illegals linked to terrorism HERE.  * Illegal in Massachusetts charged with five counts of child rape HERE. * Another illegal charged with raping a 13-year-old girl at knifepoint HERE.   * Venezuelan gangs here illegally are moving on other apartment complexes HERE.   * Kamala’s “newcomers” make up 75% of the arrests in midtown Manhattan HERE.

* Another PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED illegal arrested over two children – ages 7 and 9 – found chained up in their Virginia apartment HERE.   * More about the illegal who stabbed a teen girl in Indiana HERE.   * More illegals from Venezuela’s Tren de Agua gang arrested at the Denver apartment complex they’ve been terrorizing HERE.   * More Colorado businesses state they’re being forced to install bullet-proof glass over illegal immigrant crime HERE.  KAMALA IS AN ACCOMPLICE TO ALL THIS.

THE ARLINGTON CEMETERY HOAX AGAINST TRUMP MASTERFULLY DECONSTRUCTED BY STATELY MCDANIEL MANOR

trump at arlingtonThe Democrats and their media outlets, which still drastically outnumber Republican outlets, have been increasing the number of hysterical anti-Trump lies lately. Anyone who still believes anti-Trump tall tales at this point is a Trump-hater who simply WANTS to believe the falsehoods.

At any rate, fellow blogger Stately McDaniel Manor did a brilliant breakdown on the lies that anti-Trump fascists told about his Arlington Cemetery visit. The Democrats’ media outlets tried to paint it in an ugly light, but the families of the slain soldiers DEFENDED TRUMP all the way.

Below is a link to Stately McDaniel Manor‘s blog post but first an excerpt setting up the story:

On the third anniversary of their deaths, Donald Trump participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for the 13 soldiers killed during the unnecessary and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. It was a largely solemn occasion, attended by Trump and the families of those who died after Kamala Harris and Joe Biden decided on a course of action that produced the most humiliating and disastrous military debacle in memory.  Harris, you’ll recall, gentle readers, repeatedly said she was “the last person in the room” when that course of action was decided, and she has no regrets.  To find every article in this series, enter “Kamala Harris Against America” in to the SMM home page search bar.

“One would think that would be the story, but Harris’ handlers and the Democrat/Socialist/Communist (D/S/C) media saw an opportunity to dirty Trump.  They claimed the photos taken at that ceremony were improper, a political stunt, taken only after a Trump Campaign member got into a physical confrontation with an Arlington official who tried to uphold the sanctity of Arlington, where no filming is supposedly allowed.

“That didn’t hold up long.  Innumerable politicians and others have been photographed at Arlington, including Joe Biden, for such ceremonies, and those present confirmed no such confrontation took place.” 

Exactly! And for the rest of Stately McDaniel Manor’s breakdown of the manufactured “controversy” click HERE.
