Another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, coming to you from an America where career criminal Joe Biden acknowledged that the failed assassination of Trump meant he really had no chance against him.
KURT SCHLICHTER’S TERRIFIC TAKE ON JOE BIDEN’S MOST RECENT HUMILIATION. Here are some excerpts – “Alleged President Joe Biden’s cowardly capitulation to the will of the Democrat elite validated the cruel truth that we have always known about him – and that he has always known about himself. He’s a quitter. He’s a loser. He’s weak, and he’s stupid, the Democrat Party’s Fredo given – by default – responsibility beyond running a nightclub out in the boondocks or picking somebody up from the airport and, predictably, botching it.”
“ … But that’s Joe – always wrong, always inept, always blowing it – yet always convinced he’s a prodigy and a visionary. It would be funny if his incompetence had not gotten so many people killed, from our troops to citizens murdered by coddled criminals and illegal aliens he invited on in.”
And “Biden feels no shame; his crime family apparently lacks the necessary genes. … Now history will portray him as what he is, a doddering clown and a grubby, corrupt scumbag who couldn’t even stagger his way through a full term without making a fool of himself.”
… HOWEVER, IT’S NOT A PERFECT TAKE. Schlichter seems convinced that the Democrats will stick with Kamala Harris, the woman that The Party has basically admitted for months was an even worse public face than a graft-grabbing, demented crook like Joe Biden.
FOR OVERSEAS READERS, LET ME EMPHASIZE SOMETHING – Joe stepped down from the political campaign – NOT from the office he’s occupying. Kamala did not get to rise to the presidency. Democrats can publicly “endorse her” and “support her” for the inevitable “New polls show Harris trouncing Trump” stories but they DON’T have to nominate her for president at the joke of a convention that The Party will hold in a little while.
Behind the scenes some of the worst embodiments of what America’s cesspool of a two-party system has to offer will be maneuvering. If Kamala screws up so badly that it proves the Democrats right for not actually giving her the presidency by making Joe step down, then Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, or Gavin Newsome might still get nominated at the farce of a Democrat Convention coming up.
THE DEMOCRATS AT THE NEW YORK TIMES WANT KAMALA HARRIS OUT OF THE RACE. As I noted, the behind the scenes fighting and throat-cutting is still going on.
DEMOCRATS APPARENTLY CONFIDENT THAT THEIR VOTERS ARE UNINFORMED ENOUGH TO FALL FOR GAVIN NEWSOME’S (AND HILLARY’S) NON-BINDING SUPPORT FOR KAMALA HARRIS. Every prominent Party member can praise her to the skies, it STILL doesn’t mean they have to officially nominate her at the convention. If she’s as clearly unfit as Joe, “the need to preserve “Democracy, children’s smiles and puppy dogs” by beating Trump” will be used to justify installing another candidate.
ANOTHER COURT DECISION SAYS THE BIDEN REGIME CANNOT ELIMINATE STUDENT DEBT, BUT JOE KEEPS ON DOING IT ANYWAY. For SELECT people, most of whom are children of Democrat one percenters and don’t NEED it. Continue reading
THE FRONTIERADO HOLIDAY IS COMING UP ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 2nd! 
MAVERICK (1994) – Richard Donner directed and Mel Gibson starred in this excellent tribute to the 1950s and 1980s Maverick television series. The original series starred James Garner as slick-talking gambler/ gunslinger Bret Maverick AND, in old-age makeup, as “Pappy” Beauregard Maverick, the gambler and con-man patriarch of that family of rogues. (No relation to the real-life Maverick family of Texas, for whom “maverick” cattle were named.)
Mel Gibson portrays Bret Maverick since by 1994 James Garner was too old for the role. Jodie Foster co-stars as rival gambler Annabelle Bransford and the iconic James Garner provides memorable support as a lawman. 
However, before that was known, 
By the way, the minute it was clear that the REAL perpetrators were 
For 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. 
Well, 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. 
Longtime 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.
THE TOUCH OF BREEZE (2023) – Last year Balladeer’s Blog reviewed 
RIN 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.
