EVEN AXIOS IS FORCED TO ADMIT THE TRUTH ABOUT CORRUPT YET SENILE JOE BIDEN’S LOUD, SADISTIC, PROFANITY LACED TIRADES AGAINST SUBORDINATES. Remember under Joe’s predecessor when far less aggressive behavior than this was hyped as the Weekly Apocalypse?
LATEST TWITTER FILES RELEASE REVEALS ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THE FBI (FUGGEDA BOUT INTEGRITY) HAVING TWITTER TAKE DOWN MATERIAL DAMAGING TO DEMOCRATS FOR NO SUPPORTABLE REASON. One of the reasons I used to be a Democrat is because they used to be very openly critical of the abuses of the FBI, CIA, etc. In recent years Democrats became okay with such abuses as long as they benefit “The Party.”
ANOTHER COURAGEOUS DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATIVE – GEORGIA’S MESHA MAINOR – LEAVES THAT PARTY, POINTING OUT THE DEMOCRATS’ CONTINUALLY “USING AND ABUSING THE BLACK COMMUNITY.” She also stated “I will NEVER apologize for being a black woman with a mind of my own.” The Democrats’ media outlets have already begun crucifying her.

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.
