BALLADEER’S BLOG IS BACK

I am back after we had an area-wide power outage since yesterday morning. I will post more later today but in the meantime here’s an evergreen post that becomes more relevant every year even though it’s basically a comedy bit.

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

ALIEN: NO MAN’S LAND (2024)

alien no mans landALIEN: NO MAN’S LAND (2024) is a top tier Fan Film that goes far beyond the majority of such efforts. This item runs less than 29 minutes and deals with an encounter between the Alien franchise’s xenomorphs and World War One Brits and Aussies set in No Man’s Land.

The quality is cinematic – maybe even better considering some of the rushed special effects that the film industry has cranked out lately. Sound, costuming, direction and even the acting are exemplary for a Fan Film and pretty solid even when compared to professionals.

The story: Continue reading

MARCH SEVENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

From Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy comes another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog

TRUMP TO FACT-CHECK AND PROVIDE LIVE REBUTTAL TO CROOKED YET SENILE JOE BIDEN’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.

WITNESS TESTIMONY FURTHER CEMENTS JOE BIDEN’S INVOLVEMENT IN HIS UNDERBOSS HUNTER BIDEN’S RACKETS.

NEW YORK TIMES POLL: TRUMP’S POLICIES HELPED THE PEOPLE, JOE BIDEN’S POLICIES HAVE HARMED THEM. I will say again that Donald Trump was the best president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. And he kept us out of any new wars, which is part of why America’s corrupt political establishment fights him.

COURT ACTION TAKEN AGAINST THE BIDEN REGIME FOR HOLDING CHILDREN AT THE BORDER IN OUTDOOR CAMPS. Quite an atrocity. Democrats who pretended to care about “kids in cages” are silent, of course. They never cared about those kids. They just used them as political sticks.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOON ROUNDUP: MARCH 4th

Here’s the latest roundup regarding current events from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog here in Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy.   

*** BREAKING – THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY RULES THAT STATES CANNOT REMOVE TRUMP FROM BALLOTS. More HERE. And no, this 9-0 decision doesn’t show that the court “favors” Trump, like panicked Democrats are claiming. The Supreme Court correctly feared a deluge of similar cases coming from other states now and in the future regarding more candidates than just Trump. This was a good way of nipping that in the bud. 

        So, we got a decision that is actually based on the Constitution for once.  

biden crime family shirtBIDEN IMPEACHMENT PROCEDURES: JOE’S BROTHER JAMES REVEALS THAT JOE RECEIVED MONEY FROM CHINA. More HERE. This fact keeps getting proven over and over again. Buying Joe Biden was the best investment that China’s government ever made.  

UNDERBOSS HUNTER BIDEN’S TESTIMONY PROVES DISASTROUS FOR “THE BIG GUY” JOE BIDEN. The Bidens are as repulsive as the Bushes and the Clintons. 

BIDEN REGIME’S WAR ON REPORTER CATHERINE HERRIDGE FOR INVESTIGATING BIDEN CRIME FAMILY ACTIVITIES CONTINUES. She was jailed and ordered to reveal her sources. Once again, these are the kinds of things that Democrats pretend Trump would do but apparently they are fine with such actions when The Party takes them.

biden criminal enterpriseBIDEN REGIME’S SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AUSTIN FORCED TO ADMIT BEFORE CONGRESS THAT TRUMP’S FOREIGN POLICY WAS BETTER

BIDEN REGIME CALLED OUT FOR FUNNELING MONEY TO TRUMP PROSECUTOR IN GEORGIA. Trump and the way he has exposed what America’s career politicians are really like is almost unreal. Once again he reminds me of the Sicilian figures Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. They – like Trump – faced seemingly insurmountable corruption and – in their case – were ultimately assassinated. See the nonfiction book Excellent Cadavers.

LEAP DAY MILESTONES: 2024

Charles “The Bearded Badass” Darwin

Some things happen only once every four years – things like Democrat Joe Biden having a coherent thought and Republican Mitt Romney prying his head out of his ass. Another one of those things would be February 29th: Leap Day. Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some of the milestone events that got cheated out of a yearly anniversary by happening on this date.

1704 – French provocateurs and Native Americans attack Deerfield, MA and kill roughly 50 inhabitants while abducting 100. Elizabeth Warren’s ancestor recommends killing all the Native Americans and then claiming to BE part Native American when it’s monetarily or politically convenient. Continue reading

MY TOP 10 HORROR FILMS OF THE PAST FIFTY YEARS

masc graveyard smallerBalladeer’s Blog takes a look at my top horror movies of the past fifty years. It is NOT a list of my all-time favorite horror films, just the ones that fall within the round number of fifty years.

If the selected movie spawned a franchise I rank the franchise’s top five flicks by titles only. As always, these are just my opinion. We all have our favorites and none of us are right or wrong.

DUNE A PALOOZA

With Dune 2 out there now, here are TWO items as a salute of sorts to the Frank Herbert classic. The first book in the series was serialized beginning in 1963, then released as a novel in 1965.  

dune coverDUNE: THE OPERA – Previously I wrote about how Philip Wylie’s science fiction novel Gladiator could be done as an opera. Then I looked at how an opera version of the 1966 Spaghetti Western Django could be done and then an opera based on the novel Venus in Furs. If you’re not familiar with the story told in Dune it is set over 20,000 years in the future, when humanity has colonized many Earth-like planets. 

LANGUAGE: Spanish. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that most of my fellow English-speakers find English-language operas to be silly. The prosaic nature of the forced rhymes in a language we are well-versed in does seem to rob opera of its mystique and its grandeur.

SINGERS: Two Baritones, two Bass-Baritones, two Sopranos, one Mezzo-Soprano, four Tenors, a contralto and a Bass.

ACTS: FOUR ACTS 

another dune coverSTORY: My fellow Dune geeks may get annoyed with this change, but remember, adaptations for staged performances have to be made very tight. I would start out at the Arrakeen Great Hall as the family and court members of House Atreides have just arrived on Arrakis/ Dune, the desert planet. All the scenes that the book covered while the Atreides family were preparing to depart their home on Caladan would instead play out shortly after their arrival on their new planetary fiefdom.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOON ROUNDUP: FEBRUARY 26th

Here’s the latest roundup regarding current events from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog here in Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy.

blood moneyBLOOD MONEY – PETER SCHWEIZER’S LATEST INVESTIGATIVE BOOK REGARDING THE CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION RUN BY AMERICA’S CAREER CRIMINALS IN OFFICE – OFFICIALLY COMES OUT TOMORROW. Excerpts have been made available HERE.

JOE BIDEN’S LATEST MURDER-BY-ILLEGAL-ALIEN SCANDAL AGAIN EXPOSES HIS MANY SCANDALS AND FAILURES. More HERE. And HERE. The alleged murderer was arrested and let go in “sanctuary city” New York, thus enabling him. “Illegal Immigrants Uber Alles” remains the Democrat motto.

Crazy Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi, whose policies harm the working class and the poor.

NANCY PELOSI INSIDER TRADING SCANDAL SURFACES AGAIN AS THE PRIVILEGED WHITE ONE PERCENTER’S PRIVILEGED WHITE ONE PERCENTER HUSBAND MADE WELL OVER A MILLION DOLLARS IN JUST THREE MONTHS. Hubby has gotten years of government contracts somehow (wink) and he and Nancy still rake in money while her insider trading scandal rolls along. And America lacks a competent opposition party to do anything about it.

BIDEN REGIME FIGHTS FOR IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION FOR ILLEGALS. The regime is even having a U.S. State Department figure advocate AGAINST Texas and FOR illegal immigrants. If only there was an opposition party to work against this.

tim scottSENATOR TIM SCOTT RECAPS CAREER CRIMINAL JOE BIDEN’S LIFE OF DESPICABLE BIGOTRY

A REMINDER OF THIS INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST’S LIST OF ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE DONALD TRUMP ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN OFFICE. More cold, hard facts that make the slobbering psychopaths who hate Trump 24/7 even crazier than they usually are. 

BIDEN UNCONSTITUTIONALLY IGNORES SUPREME COURT RULING AND DECREES THAT OVER A BILLION DOLLARS MORE IN STUDENT LOANS TO DEMOCRATS DON’T HAVE TO BE REPAID. Impeachments have been launched over far less. Just a few years ago, in fact. Meanwhile, the suffering working class and poor face ruin in Biden’s economy.

Slovenly judge

An arrested drunk? Nope, it’s the alleged judge.

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING ROUTED OUT OF NEW YORK CITY FOLLOWING PARTISAN DEMOCRAT ELECTED JUDGE ARTHUR ENGORON’S GROTESQUE HANDLING OF THE TRUMP TRIAL. Engoron’s miscarriage of justice will likely be overturned, but this is a reminder of why elected judges are so often viewed as corrupt hacks. 

MORE ABOUT C.I.S.A.’s ROLE IN CENSORING THE TRUTH ABOUT FRAUD-FRIENDLY VOTE BY MAIL. The 2020 election result was just as corrupt and tainted as the 1876 and year 2000 results.  Continue reading

BEYOND THE SPOILS SYSTEM OF OLD: BIDEN FOCUSING HIS ENTIRE REGIME ON VOTING ANTICS. Ignoring Voter I.D. laws is just the tip of the iceberg. And we lack a competent opposition party to fight this.
