Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some of the latest:
BOMBSHELL REVELATIONS FROM BIDEN BRIBERY HEARINGS AS THE EVIDENCE THAT BIDEN’S FBI LACKEYS WANTED COVERED UP FINALLY GETS EXPOSED. Underboss Hunter Biden tied even closer to the bribery and influence peddling scandals. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. Another call for impeachment HERE.
REVEALED: HUNTER BIDEN WAS CONSIDERED “STUPID” BUT NECESSARY TO KEEP PAYING IN ORDER TO KEEP POLITICAL PROTECTION FROM HIS FATHER JOE GOING. “DON’T WORRY, HUNTER WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL THOSE ISSUES THROUGH HIS DAD” HERE.
TESTIMONY: BURISMA CEO SAID HE WAS “COERCED” INTO PAYING THE BIDENS TEN MILLION DOLLARS.
ONCE AGAIN, THE BIDEN REGIME’S RESPONSE TO EVIDENCE OF THEIR CRIMINALITY IS TO THROW ANOTHER GARBAGE INDICTMENT AGAINST TRUMP. Banana Republic America.
BIDEN CRIME FAMILY CUT FROM THE CAPERS MAY HAVE BEEN SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS PER OTHER TESTIMONY.
TIMELINE OF THE BIDEN INFLUENCE PEDDLING SCHEMES.
COURAGEOUS DEMOCRAT ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. STILL UNDER ATTACK FROM JOE BIDEN’S THUGS. They’re doing to him what they did to Tulsi Gabbard in 2020, right down to the accusations of “instability” and “conspiracy theorizing.” Continue reading
Okay, as always here at 
ONE: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED THAT DAY WOULD HAVE SOMEHOW MADE DONALD TRUMP THE WINNER OF THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. This is crucial. It doesn’t matter if you support Trump or hate him, NOTHING that might have happened in Congress on January 6th could have “overturned the 2020 election.” 
TWO: THE REPUBLICANS DID NOT HAVE THE VOTES TO PREVENT CERTIFYING THE ELECTION RESULTS. Just as the Congressional Democrats did not have the votes to block certification in January 2017 against Trump, Congressional Republicans did not have the votes to block certification on January 6th 2021. 
THREE: THERE IS NO WAY TRUMP COULD HAVE JUST REFUSED TO LEAVE OFFICE. The many, many staff members needed to keep a presidential administration running had already tendered their resignations, as is customary. 
A MODERN MUSKETEER (1917) – This 68-minute film was released on December 30th, 1917, when Douglas Fairbanks was known for his comedies rather than for his later success as cinema’s first swashbuckling superstar. 
I’m not exaggerating when I say that that opening segment provides almost as many thrills and spectacular stunts as the entirety of Doug’s 1921 serious turn as D’Artagnan in 
NEW YORK DEMOCRAT ERIC SCHNEIDERMAN GOES DOWN IN FLAMES – Karmic cautionary tale about this politician who was being mindlessly praised and called a “superhero” by Democrats just because he criticized de facto Third-Party President Donald Trump. Schneiderman’s “Andrew Cuomo” downfall came as he resigned in May 2018 when several women came forward with accusations about the physical abuse and humiliation he inflicted on them. Click 
TECHNO-TYRANTS OF SILICON VALLEY – This tongue-in-cheek dystopian item looked at the abuses by Big Tech. In May 2018 it was meant as a dose of humor, but since then Big Tech has been revealed to be far worse in real life. Click 
COURAGEOUS AFRICAN-AMERICAN LLOYD MARCUS POINTED OUT HOW TRUMP WAS “PULLING DOWN WINS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE”. Click

Frontierado is celebrated the first Friday of every August, so this year it will be marked on August 4th. This holiday celebrates the myth of the old west, not the grinding reality. Here’s a seasonal post regarding my look at an opera version of the original Django spaghetti western from 1966, which strips the story down to its essentials, with no gold subplot.
DJANGO: AN OPERA – Here at Balladeer’s Blog I love sharing my enthusiasms. My blog posts where I provide contemporary slants to Ancient Greek Comedies to make them more accessible have been big hits over the years, so I’m trying it with operas. A little while back I wrote about how Philip Wylie’s science fiction novel Gladiator could be done as an opera. This time I’m addressing the 1966 original version of the Spaghetti Western titled Django. 
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. 
Scene One: The opera would open with a stage version of one of the most iconic visuals from the 1966 film. Our title character, DJANGO, clad in his long blue jacket with his well-worn Union Army uniform underneath it, slowly, wearily drags a coffin behind him as he walks along singing his mournful song. He pulls the coffin via a rope slung across one shoulder.
