JANUARY 25th ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES, AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

From Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog here’s another look at current events here in Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy. As always, everyone is welcome here no matter who they vote for.

biden criminal enterpriseChatter is increasing that Joe Biden may step aside as the Democrats’ candidate and be replaced by Michelle Obama or someone else. Back in 2020 the assumption was that the clearly unfit (and criminal) Biden would step down before 2024 and let Vice President Kamala Harris take office close enough to the election that she would not have time to alienate voters before Election Day 2024.

        Wildly enough, Kamala wound up being SO inept and inarticulate and maniacally giggly that The Party gave up on her as a possibility. It’s tough to imagine how awful she must be when you look at how Joe Biden repeatedly falls, can’t even read his teleprompter correctly, is clearly senile or demented, and has even had involuntary bowel movements in his pants while meeting with people like the Pope. For Kamala to be less fit than Joe is mind-boggling.

biden bribery scandal        Word for months now has been that Michelle Obama or another figure who won’t suffer from direct complicity with the disastrous and hopelessly corrupt Biden Regime will replace Joe. That would probably work since it would give people the excuse to vote for her (or whoever) under the illusion that it would be “a fresh start” even though any Democrat will follow the same destructive policies.

        Regular readers know that I have been saying for years that the clueless, outdated and utterly useless people who run the Republican Party have been so completely outmaneuvered by the Democrats – ESPECIALLY when it comes to the Media Arms Race – that Republicans would lose the presidential race in 2024 no matter who the candidate was. 

biden tax returns        I’ve made no secret of the fact that, though I still support and will vote for de facto Third Party candidate President Donald Trump, I don’t expect a victory. (But hey, I supported him in 2016 despite thinking he wouldn’t win, and he surprised me. I felt the same way in 2020 and I was surprised again that it took the most corrupt and tainted election since 1876 and 2000 to install his opponent in the White House.) I often vote Third Party, so victory or not is not an issue with me since both major parties are disgusting.

DESERT CRUSADER (1968-1969) FORGOTTEN TELEVISION

thibaud on horsebackDESERT CRUSADER (1968-1969) – This French television series is also known as Thibaud, ou les Croisades, Thibaud, il Cavaliere Bianco, Thibaud, der Weisse Ritter and other variations of those titles. The color series ran two seasons of 13 episodes each, with those episodes lasting around 26 minutes apiece.

The setting for the storylines is the Holy Land and the trails leading pilgrims to and from that Middle East location during the fragile peace in between the First and Second Crusades. Our hero is played by Andre Lawrence and is named Thibaud (pronounced tee-bow, like Tim Tebow’s last name).

thibaud ou les croisadesThibaud and his sidekick Blanchot (Raymond Meunier) are part of the knightly efforts to safeguard people making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He often works alongside the Knights Templar but doesn’t seem to be an official member of their Order. 

Our hero Thibaud is a fascinating departure from the standard full-bore Crusader ready to go to war. He is the son of a French Baron and an Arab Christian woman, so he grew up exposed to elements of both East and West. Most of his and Blanchot’s efforts center around keeping the uneasy peace by gallantly outfighting roving gangs of violent, conniving people with hidden agendas, be they Christian OR Muslim.    Continue reading

CHUCK NORRIS IN A FORCE OF ONE (1979)

a force of oneA FORCE OF ONE (1979) – Fresh off the success of Good Guys Wear Black, Chuck Norris starred in this action film directed by Paul Aaron in only his second directing effort. The prolific Ernest Tidyman wrote the screenplay.

The Story: In a fictional mid-sized California city, a drug operation is thriving, helped along by bad cops who funnel confiscated drugs right back to the head of the narcotics pushers after pretending to have destroyed the seized goodies per department policy. The drug ring uses a sporting goods store as their front and use an aspiring karate champ as their chief enforcer.

             That enforcer is a deadly human weapon and when cops keep turning up dead at his hands the department hires a local karate dojo master to teach the police better techniques of self-defense. That dojo master falls in love with a lady cop and winds up helping the police to battle the drug ring.   

The Characters:

CHUCK NORRIS is in the role of Matt Logan, a former special forces man from the United States Army. He’s the defending Middleweight Karate Champion and also runs a karate dojo on the side. One of his students is his black adopted son Charlie (Eric Laneuville), whose late mother he had platonically befriended when … oh, don’t worry about it. They might as well have saved time by just having him be one of Matt’s students, PERIOD, since his only purpose is to get killed by the drug dealers, thus giving Logan a personal stake in the crusade to bring them down.

EVEN THIS ANTI-TRUMP COLUMNIST AT THE DEMOCRAT OUTLET THE NEW YORK TIMES ADMITS TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Some excerpts: “Arguably the single most important geopolitical fact of the century is the mass migration of people from south to north and east to west, causing tectonic demographic, cultural, economic and ultimately political shifts. Trump understood this from the start of his presidential candidacy in 2015 …

        “It said something about the self-deluded state of Western politics when Trump came on the scene that his assertion of the obvious was treated as a moral scandal, at least by the stratum of society that had the least to lose from mass migration. To millions of other Americans, his message, however crudely he may have expressed it, sounded like plain common sense.”

        “Enforcing control at the border — whether through a wall, a fence or some other mechanism — isn’t racism,” Stephens wrote. “It’s a basic requirement of statehood and peoplehood, which any nation has an obligation to protect and cherish.

Vernon also criticized hysterical Democrat plans to defund police.”  

         “The black unemployment rate under Biden and the Obama administration averaged a horrific 12.8 percent … By comparison, more than double that number – 350,000 black Americans – were lifted out of poverty during just the first two years of the Trump administration.”

we are not our parents        “Jones also reminded voters of color about Joe Biden’s THIRTY-SIX YEARS of pushing horrifically strict bills against black offenders (sometimes in conjunction with Hillary Clinton, who notoriously called black men “super-predators”)

        “Joe Biden is directly responsible for the mass incarceration policies of the 1980s and 1990s, which decimated the black community. Biden authored the 1994 crime bill which imposed mandatory minimum sentences, disproportionately putting hundreds of thousands of young black men in prison.” CLICK HERE, and HERE

DICK TURPIN (1925) – SILENT MOVIE

dick turpinDICK TURPIN (1925) – Western star Tom Mix took a break from his Wild West movies by starring in this highly romanticized film about the real-life English thief and highway robber Dick Turpin. John G. Blystone directed the movie for Fox Film Corporation. Tom swapped his six-guns and rifles for a sword and pistols in this flick.

The story in this 70-minute movie starts out in the mid-1730s. In this version of events Dick Turpin is already well-known for committing masked highway robbery against the carriage trade of well-to-do passengers. Among his men is burly Tom King, played by Alan Hale after his 1922 turn as Little John to Douglas Fairbanks’ Robin Hood.

tom as dickThe main villain of the film is Lord Churlton (Philo McCullough), who not only resents having been robbed by Turpin, but abuses his power and influence by menacingly trying to force Lady Alice Brookfield (Kathleen Myers) to marry him. 

Out and about without his mask on one day, Dick spots a rival gang of highway robbers attacking the carriage of said Alice. Smitten with our heroine’s beauty, Turpin comes to the rescue, single-handedly driving off the bandits and flirting with the young lady. Continue reading
