OCTOBER FIRST ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Here’s a midweek current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog here in an America where Democrats will now assassinate a person bodily and then assassinate their late victim’s character to try justifying the killing they committed. 

PRESIDENT TRUMP NEGOTIATES WITH PFIZER TO LOWER U.S. PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES BY FORTY PERCENT TO EIGHTY PERCENT. Have I mentioned lately that Donald Trump is the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime? And he stated ANOTHER drug company’s participation in such a deal will be announced next week.

TRUMP ACTION WILL HELP FIGHT DEMOCRAT POLICIES THAT INCREASED HEALTH CARE COSTS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS. Great timing by President Trump.

ANOTHER COMMON POLICY BETWEEN TRUMP AND FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT. Two of the greatest presidents for the working class and the poor.

UKRAINE LAWMAKERS JOIN THE WORLD LEADERS OF SEVERAL OTHER NATIONS IN NOMINATING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. He’s ended five wars and counting.

EUROPEAN LEADERS RALLY AROUND PRESIDENT TRUMP’S GAZA PEACE PLAN. So do the Arab and Muslim world HERE. Even the Palestinian Authority is in, but the terrorist animals of Hamas will likely kill it.

PRO-TRUMP CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR WINSOME SEARS RELEASES VIDEO HIGHLIGHTING LEFTIST VIOLENCE. Violence which even far left Axios admits is at its highest in thirty years.

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO MOCK PUBLIC PRAYER, YET THEY CONTINUE WITH THEIR IMBECILIC, NURSERY RHYME LEVEL CHANTS DURING THEIR (YAAAWWN) PROTESTS. Hey Democrats, how about if you just let people pray and you can just go on with your brainless, child-minded chanting?

SINALOA DRUG CARTEL LEADER COMPLAINS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MAKING THE CARTEL’S ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES HARDER.

Everything Democrats hate.

BOMB SQUAD CALLED IN TO DEAL WITH LATEST LIKELY DEMOCRAT STRIKE AIMED AT CHARLIE KIRK’S ORGANIZATION TURNING POINT USA. Device detonated to spare harm to the innocent. 

OBAMA’S ICE DIRECTOR STATES ILLINOIS POLICE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB HELPING TO SAFEGUARD THE ICE FACILITY. Courageous non-partisanship given Democrat violence. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER TWENTY-NINTH

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does a Monday current events roundup from a country where the Democrats continue killing and burning and calling for even more killing and burning. And where more and more cowards seem to be saying to themselves “Democrats are far more likely to use violence against me than Republicans are, so I’ll do what the Democrats say and blame the dead victims for all this.” 

ATTACK ON MICHIGAN CHURCH: THE AFTERMATH CONTINUES.

DEMOCRAT SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN COURAGEOUSLY PUBLICIZES A STUDY IN WHICH EVEN FAR-LEFT AXIOS ADMITS LEFT-WING VIOLENCE IS AT A THIRTY-YEAR HIGH. More HERE. Fetterman deserves high praise for this kind of non-partisanship. Surely he knows this puts him in the crosshairs of his Party’s increasingly bloodthirsty fanatics. And I’m impressed Axios did this study.

SENATOR FETTERMAN ALSO TARGETS THE DEMOCRATS’ EXTREME RHETORIC LIKE CALLING PEOPLE “HITLER”, ETC.

DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM PUTS A TARGET ON WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF STEPHEN MILLER BY POSTING IN ALL CAPS “STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST.” Posobiec states “They know exactly what they’re doing” HERE. There is no way ANY Democrat does not recognize that that’s “a dog whistle” (as Democrats love to say) for the Party’s unhinged zealots.

KRUISER: “DEMOCRATS LIE AND PEOPLE DIE.

DEMOCRAT PARTY

DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET NBC USES THEIR PROPAGANDA PROGRAM LAW & ORDER: SVU TO DEPICT ICE AGENTS PROTECTING RAPISTS, ETC. It’s a win-win for the Democrats because if such propaganda goes unchallenged, they benefit. And if reasonable people call it out, they claim it violates their First Amendment rights.   

        Let me remind people of Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson’s remark in the case of Terminiello vs Chicago that “the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Constitutional protections must be balanced with the need for societal survival and order, especially during times of crisis.”      (And since 2025’s Democrats only view the world through television shows and movies, I’ll point out for them that Jackson was portrayed by Alec Baldwin in the year 2000 miniseries Nuremberg, so they have the Party’s permission to like him.)

IN DEMOCRAT “SANCTUARY” STATE ILLINOIS, PROTESTERS CHANT “KILL ICE! SHOOT ICE!”       ELSEWHERE, A GRAND JURY INDICTS THREE PEOPLE FOR STREAMING THEIR STALKING OF AN ICE AGENT AND DOXXING HIS HOME’S LOCATION. More HERE. Just another wink and a nudge to violent Democrats.  

PAKISTAN’S PRIME MINISTER PRAISES PRESIDENT TRUMP. Trump receives hero’s welcome HERE.

JOE LAVORGNA: TRUMP DELIVERING FOR THE “EVERYDAY AMERICAN.” Trump is the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. Continue reading

TRANSGRESS WITH ME: SEPTEMBER TWENTY-SEVENTH

Balladeer’s Blog resumes my recurring item Transgress with Me in a slightly altered format, but it’s still only for the politically daring.

ANOTHER BRAVE WOMAN EXPLAINS WHAT DROVE HER AWAY FROM THE DEMOCRATS. “I see increasing numbers of so-called liberals cheering censorship and defending violence as a response to speech.”

COURAGEOUS PROFESSOR DEFIES THE CHURCH OF IRRATIONAL THOUGHT AND POLITICAL INTOLERANCE. “Reasoning requires you to understand truth claims, even truth claims that you think are false or bad or just icky. Most of you have been taught to label things with various “isms” which prevent you from understanding claims you find uncomfortable or difficult.”

MOTHER JONES COMPARES PRESIDENT TRUMP TO FDR, TRUMAN, SERPICO, BRUBAKER AND MORE.

DEMOCRAT DONNA BRAZILLE COURAGEOUSLY SPEAKS OUT ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON’S CORRUPTION OF THE DNC AND ROBBING BERNIE SANDERS OF THE 2016 NOMINATION.

FROM ANTIFA MEMBER TO TRUMP SUPPORTER HERE. Continue reading

SEPTEMBER TWENTY-SIXTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog, coming to you from an America where bloodthirsty Democrats continue to kill and to call for even more violence.

PRIVILEGED WHITE TERRORISTS OF ANTIFA (KLANTIFA) ONCE AGAIN CALL FOR MORE KILLING AND OTHER VIOLENCE.

THREE ARRESTED IN SHOOTING OF YOUTH BASEBALL COACH WHILE HE WAS LEADING HIS TEAM IN A PRAYER. Sorry, Democrats, he’s still alive! Arrested were Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, Ahmad Mawed, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah. I’m sure blackface performer Jimmy Kimmel will be claiming Mahmood, Ahmad and Mustafa were Trump supporters any minute now. 

CORRUPT FORMER FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY INDICTED. Hey, no one is above the law. More HERE.  

TRUMP EFFECT: THE U.S. ECONOMY GROWS EVEN MORE THAN PREDICTED UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES. He is the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.

TRUMP ASKS DEMOCRATS TO “STOP DEMONIZING LAW ENFORCEMENT” IN WAKE OF LATEST DEMOCRAT-INCITED SHOOTING AT ICE FACILITY. The shooter missed the ICE agents he targeted and accidentally killed two illegal immigrants in custody instead. More HERE.

PRESIDENT ALIYEV USES HIS U.N. ADDRESS TO ONCE AGAIN THANK TRUMP FOR BROKERING THE PEACE DEAL BETWEEN AZERBAIJAN AND ARMENIA.        

ALSO, QUATAR’S PRIME MINISTER CALLS PRESIDENT TRUMP THE “ONLY ONE” IN THE WORLD WHO CAN ACHIEVE PEACE IN GAZA

MORE ABOUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FINDING AND STOPPING A PLOT TO DEFRAUD FOURTEEN BILLION, SIX HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS FROM MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND OTHERS. I will point out again that the corporations and other white-collar criminals that Trump is exposing like this keep growing more desperate to destroy him. No one else has been as successful against America’s cesspool of corruption as President Trump. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER TWENTY-FOURTH

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does another current events roundup from a country flooded with Democrat hatred, lies and callousness toward the survivors who mourn their dead victims. Long time readers may remember when I titled a 2017 blog post Democrats: The Smirking Jackasses of Life. Well, Democrat Fundamentalists have spent the years since then more than living up to that designation. Anyway, here we go.

DEMOCRAT PARTY

ALPHABET PLATFORM ADMITS THE BIDEN REGIME PRESSURED GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE TO SHUT DOWN DISSENTING OPINIONS. In other words, Democrats really did what they are lying about Trump doing to callous capitalist and blackface performer Kimmel.

THE FIFTEEN WEALTHIEST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS ALL ELECTED DEMOCRATS. This isn’t new and it continues to prove that Democrats haven’t been the party of the working class and the poor in a very, very long time.

DEMOCRAT-INCITED ATTACK ON ICE FACILITY RESULTS IN THE SNIPER ACCIDENTALLY KILLING TWO DETAINEES BUT NOT THE ICE AGENTS HE TARGETED.

REPUBLIC OF CONGO PRESIDENT PRAISES PRESIDENT TRUMP’S U.N. SPEECH.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS IGNORE COURT ORDER TO SEAT TWO REPUBLICANS. It’s against the law to do that, but Democrats only pretend to get upset about ignored court orders when they want to use that against President Trump. 

VIDEO: THE LATEST MONTAGE OF FORMER DEMOCRATS DRIVEN TO LEAVE THAT HATE GROUP OVER THEIR CELEBRATION OF THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION AND THE HARASSMENT OF HIS WIDOW. Not being cruel to people who just lost a loved one isn’t a very high bar, but Democrats STILL weren’t capable of reaching it. 

DEFEATED AND HUMILIATED KAMALA HARRIS MORONICALLY CALLS PRESIDENT TRUMP A “COMMUNIST DICTATOR.” Unreal.

DEMOCRAT HATEMONGER JASMINE CROCKETT CALLS LATE VICTIM OF AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT “A RANDOM DEAD PERSON.” But Democrats unceasingly claim to be oh-so-compassionate. The mother responded HERE. Continue reading

SEPTEMBER TWENTY-SECOND ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Here’s another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog while we all wait to see who the Democrats will murder next, then lie about their late victim’s words and conduct. Plus they’ll refuse to be civilized and condemn killing people.

PRESIDENT TRUMP AND OTHERS PAY TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF CHARLIE KIRK, FREE SPEECH MARTYR KILLED BY THOSE HE TRIED TO BE CIVIL TOWARD. More HERE. And HERE.

MOURNERS SAY “WE ARE ALL CHARLIE.” But let’s hope this doesn’t fade away as quickly as “We are Charlie Hebdo” did back in 2015.    ARMED MAN IMPERSONATING A COP ARRESTED AT THE CEREMONY.

GELLER STATES “IN ONLY EIGHT MONTHS, PRESIDENT TRUMP LIFTED MORE PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY THAN BIDEN.” Donald Trump is the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. 

PERSON WHO SHOT UP A SACRAMENTO ABC AFFILIATE IN HONOR OF JIMMY KIMMEL IS A PREVIOUS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF TEACHERS. The term “Faculty Lounge Fascist” comes to mind.

ANIMAL SHOUTING “FREE PALESTINE” KILLS ONE AND WOUNDS MANY MORE AT A NEW HAMPSHIRE WEDDING. You’ll notice it’s NEVER the people who want Hamas to “free their hostages” who do all the killing.

MARK STEYN’S INSIGHTFUL LOOK AT THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION AND AN AMERICAN WOMAN IN ENGLAND BEING PRESSURED BY THE COUNTRY’S THOUGHT POLICE FOR SUPPORTING PRESIDENT TRUMP.

CHICAGO’S DEMOCRAT MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON INSANELY STATES “LAW ENFORCEMENT IS A SICKNESS THAT DOESN’T REDUCE CRIME.” It’s that kind of attitude that reduces Democrat-run cities to violent cesspools and makes their citizens cry out for federal help.   POLICE UNION HEAD CALLS MAYOR HYPOCRITE AND PIECE OF GARBAGE IN REPLY.

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN JASMINE CROCKETT IDIOTICALLY STATES THAT COMMITTING CRIMES DOESN’T MAKE SOMEONE A CRIMINAL. What an imbecile. Continue reading

TIMEBOMB (1991) – OVERLOOKED MICHAEL BIEHN MOVIE

TIMEBOMB (1991) – With Alien: Earth being streamed in recent weeks, it has brought with it the usual remarks from Alien franchise fans about what a raw deal Michael Biehn got when his character Corporal Hicks was killed off with Newt in between films.

And THAT put me in mind of Biehn’s virtually forgotten action/ sci-fi film Timebomb from 1991. While very good it’s not a classic and it does incorporate a lot of elements that had already been done better in movies like Total Recall and in future flicks like The Bourne Identity.

Still, though, it’s a valentine for fans who miss R-rated 1980s action movies and features Michael in his prime, once again portraying an appealing hero up against forces that seem beyond human ability to overcome. Plus, he and his costar Patsy Kensit started a relationship while filming Timebomb if you’re interested in such things. Continue reading

MOTHER JONES LOOKS AT DEMOCRAT UGLINESS IN ALL ITS FORMS

For the first time since October of 2022, Mary Harris Jones – aka Mother Jones – speaks with Balladeer’s Blog despite having passed away in 1930. Much of the fun comes from the way that Democrat fundamentalists froth at the mouth over her visits here.

Adding to that fun is the question I always ask those shrieking, hate-filled Democrats – “Are you saying that you think it’s wrong for Mother Jones’ name to be used to promote political opinions she may or may not have agreed with? Is that really the argument you’re making?” Hilarious little hypocrites.

Before I turn the floor over to Mother Jones, let’s all remember that the Democrats now sniveling about the repulsive little toad Jimmy Kimmel were fine with how Roseanne Barr, Gina Carano and so many others were treated by their entertainment industry employers. 

MOTHER JONES: Good to be back, Balladeer. I notice you’ve tended to let up on some basic, solid points you’ve made in your blog posts over the years. I’m here to provide your easily distracted mind with some refreshers.

BALLADEER: Really? I’m curious which points you think I’ve –

MOTHER JONES: Well, shut up then and let me get started! Here we go …

DEMOCRATS HAVE A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE … WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT (June 8th, 2020) – Some excerpts: “It’s no secret that Democrats have become the most intolerant and oppressive totalitarians imaginable.” … Democrats apparently feel that ONLY people who express opinions with which Democrats agree are to be permitted to safely speak at public institutions.”

If Democrats didn’t vote for your candidate – even if your candidate won – they want it considered Hate Speech to display any hats or other support for that candidate. And they’ll use violence against you if you disagree.” … “Democrats spew nothing but hatred and division yet lecture the rest of us about ‘love’ and ‘compassion’ and ‘tolerance.”   

DEMOCRAT UGLINESS IN ITS MANY FORMS (July 28th, 2021) – Some excerpts: “At present, Democrats push divisiveness everywhere.” … DEMOCRATS USE DISCRIMINATORY HIRING AND FIRING PRACTICES – Democrats are the overwhelming majority of administrators and ‘educators’ (LMAO) from kindergarten through college. Democrats are the overwhelming majority of ‘news’ media broadcasters. Democrats are the overwhelming majority of workers in the entertainment industry. Those things don’t happen by accident.” Continue reading

ROBERT REDFORD R.I.P. – MY FAVORITE NEGLECTED REDFORD FILMS

Robert Redford was one of the few true superstars in Hollywood history. Even the biggest names of recent decades are also-rans when compared to Redford. Other sites will no doubt be focusing on the man’s iconic films but this being Balladeer’s Blog I’m doing his overlooked movies. Well, as overlooked as a major star’s work can be, anyway.

WAR HUNT (1962) – Unusual little movie that was sort of like a Korean War forerunner of Platoon. Redford is Private Roy Loomis, a new arrival who would be the film’s Charlie Sheen equivalent, right down to his first-person narration. John Saxon would be the Tom Berenger equivalent as Private Raymond Endore, who uses the war as an excuse to give his violent tendencies full reign.

Endore is gung-ho and goes forth at night to hunt and slit the throats of North Korean soldiers. Loomis has the more simplistic “just fighting for my country and trying to survive” approach. A young camp follower comes to look up to both figures as they figuratively vie for the boy’s soul.

An uncredited Francis Ford Coppolla plays a truck driver, plus the film features Sydney Pollack, Tom Skerritt, Gavin MacLeod, Nancy Hsueh and Anthony Ray. Continue reading
