Long ago I was, I’m ashamed to say, a member of the increasingly deranged and hate-filled Democrat party before I left it to become an Independent Voter. Anyone mindlessly feeling “My political party, right or wrong” is not worth listening to on any issue.
MORE ABOUT THE INTERMINGLED FINANCES OF CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND HIS UNDERBOSS HUNTER BIDEN. More HERE. More HERE. And HERE.
PUTIN’S RUSSIA WILL MAKE BILLIONS THANKS TO CORRUPT JOE BIDEN’S DEAL WITH IRAN. More HERE. The thuggish Biden still talks tough about Putin while funneling money to the war criminal in reality.
DEMOCRATS AT THE WASHINGTON POST BLUNTLY CALLING TO USE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO CUT WORKING CLASS WAGES. So does this mean they’re finally abandoning their frequent lie that illegal immigration doesn’t hurt wages for citizens? Typical Democrat pattern – lie and lie for years, then when your lie is exposed, pretend the thing you claimed wasn’t happening is really a good thing!

THE DEMOCRATS’ FBI EXPOSED IN COURT FOR THEIR ABSURD FABLE ABOUT A PLANNED ABDUCTION OF GOVERNOR WHITMER IN MICHIGAN. More HERE. Remember when anti-Trump loons believed the lies that Trump was part of the plan to abduct her? Trump-haters are foolish enough to believe anything.
BIDEN REGIME FIGURE ADMITS SHARING INTEL WITH CHINA WAS WRONG. Buying Joe Biden was the best investment the Chinese government ever made.
YET ANOTHER EXPOSE ABOUT VOTE FRAUD IN FIVE SWING STATES IN 2020. The 2020 presidential election was as corrupt and tainted as the 1876 and year 2000 presidential elections. Continue reading
HAMMETT (1982) – Directed by Wim Wenders and produced by Francis Ford Coppola’s Zoetrope Studios, Hammett is a criminally neglected valentine to Hard-Boiled Detective Stories and Film Noir. The flick is based on the novel by Joe Gores.
Booze and coughing fits figure prominently in the movie, as you would expect given a protagonist who was an alcoholic with tuberculosis. For the sake of convenience the story that Hammett just finished before blacking out was one featuring his character the Continental Op (as in an operative for the fictional Continental Detective Agency).
Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog comes to you from the Biden Crime Family’s corporate fascist kleptocracy, where Democrats try to dictate what the rest of us are allowed to say, wear, post on the internet, etc. Many of their oppressive actions would not be possible without the utter worthlessness of elected Republicans, whose apparent motto continues to be “Screw our constituents! As long as we remain wealthy enough to survive what the Democrats unleash, that’s all that matters!” 
Time for another round of Balladeer’s Blog’s recurring feature Transgress with Me. As I’ve often mentioned in the past, I used to be a Democrat before their increasing intolerance and fascism drove me to leave the party and become an Independent Voter.
*** RACHEL LEVINE AND LIA THOMAS ARE MEN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH DEMOCRATS (“THE PARTY”) ORDER THE REST OF US TO PRETEND OTHERWISE.
Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know that all – or at least most – roads lead to bad movies with me. Since 1976 the movie Track of the Moon Beast has been a cult hit for the Psychotronic-minded and for those people who were lucky enough to catch it at various drive-ins during their heyday.
Frustratingly, the song was not quite complete and had a few interruptions by dialogue from the film. For decades clearer versions of California Lady were incredibly rare. Mike Wolfer found and has uploaded two versions of the song at his YT Channel (subscribe
The first was the studio recording of the song (below) and the second was the entire EP from Frank Larrabee. California Lady is at the 10:03 mark and is a much smoother, less worn recording of the song and is MUCH MORE LIKE THE PERFORMANCE IN THE MOVIE. No interruptions in either case, so you can enjoy this cult item the way it was meant to be heard.
Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog couldn’t help but note what is basically an admission on the part of the Biden Regime that they are unfit and not legit. An admission that they are criminals in the pocket of many overseas entities including the Chinese government. That virtual admission? 
The installed Joe Biden runs a corporate fascist state and virtual kleptocracy. He could not have achieved that without a complicit Democrat Party apparatus including
THE BANQUETERS – By Aristophanes. This was the very first comedy from the Athenian whose name is synonymous with ancient Greek comedies, especially political satires. The nineteen-year-old presented a landowner from Athens whose two sons were being introduced to his phratry brothers at a banquet dedicated to Herakles. 

WEALTH GODS (PLUTOI) – By Cratinus. In this satirical comedy the Titans are depicted overthrowing Zeus in a metaphor for the fall of the political leader Pericles. This was a reference either to his actual death or to the loss of his position as Strategos (Commander in Chief) depending on which year you go with for the comedy.
