HAS TO BE SAID: JULY SEVENTEENTH

This particular blog post doesn’t quite fit into any of my other recurring bits, so I just titled it “Has to be Said.”

Democrat snob

Privileged white one-percenter Democrats are still terrified at the thought of another Trump presidency, even though the only bad thing that happened to them during his first term was that their every media outlet stoked their hatred and their fear every single day.

            It never mattered to them how great Trump was for the working class and the poor, or how he kept us out of any new wars and made us energy self-sufficient and so many other accomplishments.

           I want to mention how eye-rolling it is for the Democrats and their media outlets to admonish the victims of so much anti-Trump hatred and violence to “tone down the rhetoric.” Hilarious! It reminds me of one of my old posts from long ago – “You’re making us feel unsafe,” the bloodthirsty mob of Democrats screamed as they savagely beat the elderly, handicapped Trump supporter.”

           And speaking of the way Democrats love to blame their opponents for the kind of violence their side commits, let’s look back on a time BEFORE TRUMP. Remember the April 15th Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013. It turned out to be an attack by the Muslim Tsarnaev Brothers who listed their worldview online as “Islam.”

          democrats culture of hateHowever, before that was known, Democrat media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, NPR, PBS and others were running with stories about how the people behind the Boston Marathon bombing MUST be right-wing conservative Republicans. Their reasoning? Well, Democrats blame EVERYTHING on right-wing conservative Republicans, even though they’ve been wrong countless times.

           The MAIN piece of faulty reasoning the Democrat hatemongers used that day was that it HAD to be right-wing conservative Republicans because IT WAS APRIL 15th – TAX DAY. Since there is usually general criticism of taxes as too burdensome, etc on the supposed “right” the Democrat media pushed the notion that the Boston bombing was a blow against Income Tax supposedly carried out by those “dangerous right-wing militias” that Democrats had paranoid fantasies about, just like they have paranoid fantasies about non-Democrats as “domestic terrorists” these days.

           Anyway, Democrats and their media outlets didn’t have de facto Third Party President Donald Trump to use as a scapegoat for that 2013 attack, but it STILL didn’t prevent them from demonizing half the country as dangerous fanatics just waiting to commit violence. 

          democrat party platformBy the way, the minute it was clear that the REAL perpetrators were two brothers with “Worldview: Islam” on a social media page the Democrats switched to saying that not all Muslims should be judged based on those two. Yes, that’s right, but the hypocritical trash called Democrats were perfectly willing to demonize MILLIONS of Americans for AN ACT THAT NOT ONE OF THEM HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH!  Continue reading

TRUMP-HATERS BLAMING THE VICTIM

trump being heroicFor what it’s worth, here are my current thoughts on the ongoing situation regarding the attempt to kill populist folk hero President Donald Trump. There are countless articles out there praising his courage under literal fire and condemning the loathsome conduct of Trump-haters, so I’m covering a different angle right now.

I will not yet bother to address the transparently phony claims by some people that they will tamp down their anti-Trump rhetoric. Continue reading

TRUMP’S ENEMIES FURTHER IMMORTALIZE HIM BY ATTEMPTING TO ASSASSINATE HIM

trump survives attempt on his life by the trash who hate himWell, the Democrats, their media outlets and their unhinged narrative that de facto Third Party President Donald Trump is the new Hitler finally got the result they’ve been wanting … almost. Clearly they would rather that Trump was dead. I will have more to write about this in a day or so.

trump and jfkLongtime readers of Balladeer’s Blog know that when something huge happens I like to wait for the initial fog of mistakes and incorrect reports by the media to clear up before I do a lengthy blog post. In the meantime, obviously, I’m glad that Trump – who kept us out of any new wars, was the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime and the man most feared by the absolute garbage called career politicians in the United States – survived this attempt on his life.

Just like one of the men he reminds me of – President Theodore Roosevelt – Trump has now survived an assassination attempt during a speaking appearance. Continue reading

JULY TWELFTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, as always coming to you from a land where senile graft-grabber and career criminal Joe Biden spends more time trying to distract from how unfit he is than he does on any of his responsibilities.

biden bloodJOE BIDEN CALLED OUT FOR CALLOUSLY IGNORING THE HURRICANE BERYL DISASTER. The repulsive Republican George W. Bush had Hurricane Katrina, and the repulsive Democrat Joe Biden has Hurricane Beryl. Grotesque.

NBC DEMOCRAT CHUCK TODD AND POLITICO DEMOCRAT JONATHAN MARTIN ADMIT THEY’VE BEEN COVERING UP FOR BIDEN’S UNFITNESS “FOR YEARS.” It’s always “The Party uber alles” with such non-journalists. They don’t deserve to be trusted. More HERE.

NO CABINET MEETINGS IN NINE MONTHS? BIDEN “STEALTH RELEASING” HIS DELEGATES TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN HIM AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION? Wow! If only we had a media curious enough to press Joe Biden on any of this.

THE TOUCH OF BREEZE (2023) – PRITILATA NANDI’S LATEST LITERARY WORK

the touch of breezeTHE TOUCH OF BREEZE (2023) – Last year Balladeer’s Blog reviewed Love of Rain, Indian authoress Pritilata Nandi’s brilliant and moving collection of short stories about Indian life. Nandi has followed that up with a novel about emotional upheaval and eventual atonement … to whatever degree is possible in life.

I’m fairly cynical and jaded but Pritilata has a gift for making even someone like me feel moved by the storm of emotions she conjures up. Through her characters Susmita and her granddaughter Silpa readers get introduced to a family from India who are about to travel to Hawaii.

Susmita, a teacher turned author (like Nandi herself) had hoped to take such a trip with her husband Arijit but unfortunately, he has passed away. The widow will be traveling there with Silpa and her parents, and we get some wonderful bonding between grandmother and granddaughter. Continue reading

RIN TIN TIN: HIS SILENT FILMS

rin tin tin at typewriterRIN TIN TIN (1918-1932) – Here at Balladeer’s Blog, I’m even fonder of dogs than I am of silent movies, so this post will combine the two topics. Sadly, most silent films have become so little remembered that few people even realize that there actually WAS a real Rin Tin Tin, adopted by American soldiers during World War One.

Amid battles in September of 1918, Corporal Lee Duncan of the 135th Aero Squadron was doing recon work on a bombed-out area near Flirey, France. One of the buildings had been a breeding kennel for German Shepherds trained for Kaiser Wilhelm’s troops. The only animals still alive were a starving mother with five nursing puppies who were so young their eyes had not even opened yet.   

Duncan adopted the six German Shepherds and took them back to his unit. His superiors permitted the mother to be given to an officer, one each of the puppies to three enlisted men and the final two – a boy and a girl – were adopted by Lee Duncan himself and named Rin Tin Tin and Nanette. Continue reading

And considering that Democrats refuse to have his Vice President Kamala Harris replace him I guess they’re admitting that they knew that NEITHER their presidential NOR vice-presidential candidates in 2020 were fit for office.

DERANGED DEMOCRATS STILL INSISTING THAT THE SUPREME COURT DECISION MEANS JOE BIDEN HAS “IMMUNITY” TO ARREST REPUBLICAN OPPONENTS AT WILL AND TO LET THE F.B.I. USE DEADLY FORCE TO GIVE DEMOCRATS CONTROL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Have I mentioned lately that people who spend their every waking moment hating Trump are the most ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable people I’ve ever observed?

JULY FIFTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

 Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another current events roundup from the land where an alarming number of alleged adults have zero comprehension of how their own government works.

EMERGENCY MOTION FILED TO STOP THE DEMOCRAT PLAN TO ALLOW VOTING IN 2024 TO NON-CITIZENS. The people who feign concern for “democracy” always pull the sleaziest maneuvers.

meme of trump hatersDERANGED AND UNSTABLE TRUMP-HATERS LITERALLY TALKING ABOUT KILLING FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO SUPPORT TRUMP “BEFORE THEY KILL YOU.” These bizarre little people are insane. More about Trump Derangement Syndrome HERE. More on the court decision HERE

TRUMP-HATERS ARE ALSO SO IGNORANT AND UNINFORMED THEY ACTUALLY THINK THAT THE SUPREME COURT’S RECENT DECISION MEANS THAT PRESIDENTS CAN RANDOMLY ASSASSINATE PEOPLE AND MORE. I will say for the umpteenth time that the people who froth at the mouth about Trump during their every waking moment are not capable of rationally following nuanced language in court decisions.

          democrat party platformTo make up for their stupidity they jump to the wildest, most unrealistic assumptions and seem absolutely convinced that their delusions are real. We share a country with these panicked imbeciles.

ANTI-TRUMP “ACTRESS” CALLS FOR BIDEN TO KILL DE FACTO THIRD PARTY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. She honestly seems to think that the Supreme Court decision means Biden would have “immunity” to do this. Trump-haters like this are the lowest of the low. How moronic can they be?

SILENT FILMS ABOUT THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Tomorrow is the big day – July 4th! Balladeer’s Blog is squeezing in another seasonal post before then.

the spy 1914THE SPY (1914) – This four-reel movie was based on the 1821 novel of the same name by THE James Fenimore Cooper. The story is set largely at a home in Scarsdale, New York as American Rebel families share feuds, intrigues and romances with British Loyalists. 

Everybody is keeping a secret or two and which characters are spies and which are really what they say they are remains uncertain until the very end. Cooper based the man who emerges as the central American spy on the real-life Enoch Crosby, a friend of John Jay.

Even in this June of 1914 release, George Washington’s reputation for running his own spy networks was well and truly in force in popular culture and the wily general even shows up in disguise a few times. Things work out well for the Americans, but the deep-cover double agent hero doesn’t get credit until after his tragic death. 

A large battle set-piece at a bridge was impressive for 1914 and was praised by Moving Picture World and Variety that year. Herbert Rawlinson and Edna Maison starred. Continue reading
