JANUARY TWELFTH NEWS ROUNDUP

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog is back with its latest current events roundup. The Democrats in Minnesota, along with trying to incite riots with their lies, are basically saying “At will, our mindless, violent mobs can undo everything that citizens vote for. The ballot box means nothing to us. Elections will not bring what the voters want because our bloodthirsty mobs will prevent it.” 

Naturally the bloated rich pigs of Hollywood and even the long-forgotten Duran Duran (LMAO) are showing the kind of concern for the dead driver that they have NEVER shown for the victims of illegal immigrant crimes.  And as we have seen, if the ICE agent had been killed or crippled by his assailant’s vehicle Democrats would STILL be praising the driver and making her a cause célèbres to stir up further violence.

CHINA’S REGIME HELPED DOX THE ICE AGENT ATTACKED BY RENEE GOOD WITH HER VEHICLE.

ITEM: LET THE DOXXED ICE AGENT’S DEFAMATION SUITS AGAINST THE MEDIA AND DEMOCRATS BEGIN. Hopefully he could get some Nick Sandmann-level money from the crazed Democrats saying he committed cold-blooded murder and similar unfounded accusations.

ITEM: WISE WORDS FOR PRIVILEGED WHITE LEFTISTS WHO ATTEMPT VEHICULAR ASSAULT AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT – “IF YOU DO FELONIOUS ASSAULTS WITH TWO-TON WEAPONS, EXPECT TO BE SHOT.” Will the animals listen, though? More HERE.

MARGOLIS: YES, RENEE GOOD’S ACTIONS MEET THE LEGAL DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

ICE ARRESTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILD RAPIST PREVIOUSLY CONVICTED. Shambling zombie Neil Young and uninformed Mark Ruffalo hardest hit.   MORE ICE STORIES THAT DEMOCRAT HATEMONGERS DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW.

“TODAY IN MINNESOTA FRAUD.” The land of 10,000 fraud rings.  DEMOCRATS STALK AND THREATEN TO KILL A JOURNALIST COVERING THE MINNESOTA SITUATIONS. Hey Duran Duran, do a song praising these scumbags, too. 

EVEN CNN’S MOORE COURAGEOUSLY STATES HE CONSIDERS THE MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTING “LIKELY LEGALLY JUSTIFIED.” I hope he stays safe against Democrat domestic terrorists.

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ECONOMY IS GROWING EVEN FASTER THAN ECONOMISTS PREDICTED. More HERE. The greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.

EVEN ANTI-TRUMP CNBC ADMITS ON-AIR THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS CUT AMERICA’S TRADE DEFICIT BY MORE THAN HALF, TO THE LOWEST LEVEL IN FIFTEEN YEARS. And all while fighting America’s cesspool of political and media corruption.  

ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD COWARD PRETENDS TO BE BRAVE BY CLAIMING WE LIVE IN A DICTATORSHIP UNDER TRUMP, IGNORING THE FACT THAT HE WOULD BE IMPRISONED FOR SAYING THAT UNDER AN ACTUAL DICTATOR. Hey, privileged white one-percenter Apatow, you’re bacteria compared to TRULY courageous people like the protestors in Iran.

TYPICAL ANTI-TRUMP ZEALOT ARRESTED FOR MEETING UP WITH AN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD CHILD FOR SEXUAL ACTIVITIES. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?  Continue reading

SIR GRAPEFELLOW AND BARON VON REDBERRY

Time for another look back at a clash of cereal mascots. Previously, Balladeer’s Blog covered the Monster Cereals like Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Boo-Berry, Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy as well as the rivalry between Quisp and Quake.

General Mills tried replicating their Monster Cereal success with a pair of cartoon World War One flying aces as mascots for two new cereals. Sir Grapefellow was a stiff upper lip British fighter pilot whose cereal featured oats and grape-flavored marshmallows called Starbits. Baron Von Redberry, clearly based on Germany’s Red Baron, represented a cereal with oats and berry-flavored marshmallows/ Starbits.

The rivalry between the two flying aces and their cereals began in 1972, a year after General Mills had kicked off their Monster Cereal line with Count Chocula and Frankenberry as the dueling mascots. (If you’re wondering, Quisp and Quake were Quaker Oats products.) Continue reading

FLASHBACK: PERPETUAL DEMOCRAT DISHONESTY ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ISSUES

DEMOCRAT PARTY

The past several days have served as another reminder that Democrats NEVER argue in good faith and that their blatant encouragement of violence is responsible for every killing involving ICE. Rabid animals wouldn’t be trying to kill ICE agents with their vehicles if not for the never-ending lies about enforcement of immigration laws. Which people VOTED FOR in the 2024 election.   

FROM MARCH 29th, 2016 came this item in which I looked at the latest cheap Democrat (I mistakenly called them Liberals back then) exploitation and propaganda regarding illegal immigration. 

Recently the perpetual children who call themselves Liberals tried to make cheap political capital out of a (possibly faked) note that the child of an illegal immigrant addressed to their parents. The child was supposedly sad about the possibility of immigration authorities catching the family and sending them home. Being Liberals the repulsive fools acted like this letter was proof of how supposedly “evil” it is for countries to have immigration laws. 

“To counter that here’s a letter written to Heaven by the child of a law enforcement officer killed by an illegal immigrant. It’s just as sad, Democrats. Do you immature drama queens STILL think that heart-breaking letters written by children should form the basis of a country’s immigration policy?

“Oh, I know, Democrats. Only touching letters that further your political goals count. If the letter below helped push your politics the letter and the little girl who wrote it would be world-famous.

“I’m REALLY sick of the way American Liberals exploit emotion to try to make every one of their political opinions carry the force of law. Below is the letter written by the little girl whose father will never be coming home because of an illegal immigrant. Continue reading

BALLADEER’S BLOG’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL RESULTS: JAN 10th

The USCAA no longer has football, so I had no coverage of them from Aug-Dec.

USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association) DIVISION ONE

CLOSE CALL FOR NUMBER ONE – The nation’s number one team – the NORTH AMERICAN UNIVERSITY STALLIONS – clashed with the visiting TEXAS A&M AT TEXARKANA EAGLES (should be Texarks). The 1st Half ended with the Stallions on top 37-29 but Texarkana was ready for a comeback. Their rally fell short as NAU held on to win 74-71. Jayden Jackson led the Stallions with 23 points, while teammate Joseph Cormier got a Double Double of 11 points and 12 rebounds.

CENTURY CLUB – Teams scoring 100 or more points in Regulation: The (6) NEWPORT NEWS APPRENTICE SCHOOL BUILDERS (Shipbuilders) obliterated the CENTRAL INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE CARDINALS 121-65   ###   The BLOOMFIELD COLLEGE BEARS won 110-108 at the BRYANT & STRATTON COLLEGE (Albany) BOBCATS   ###   And the (10) PAUL QUINN COLLEGE TIGERS mauled the WILEY UNIVERSITY WILDCATS 107-53.

MARVEL ISSUES: JULY 1967

This weekend’s escapist, light-hearted superhero post from Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at Marvel’s publications from July 1967.

SPIDER-MAN Vol 1 #50 (Jul 1967)

Title: Spider-Man No More

Villain: Kingpin (FIRST APPEARANCE)

Synopsis: Spider-Man stops the robbery of an armored car and bystanders’ wary reaction to him makes him angry about how thoroughly J. Jonah Jameson’s media lies about him have tainted his image in some people’s minds.

That, combined with Aunt May’s latest turn for the worse health-wise (yawn), makes Peter Parker feel even worse, especially since he hasn’t spent as much time checking on his aunt ever since he moved into Harry Osborn’s plush apartment with him.

The next day at Empire State University Peter fails a biochemistry test, prompting Professor Miles Warren (yes) to express disappointment since Peter is such a brilliant student. Privately, Peter blames every bad thing in his life on being Spider-Man and he decides to never again don the costume.

Over the next few weeks, the crime rate in New York City skyrockets with no Spider-Man getting in the way of villainy and only Daredevil fighting street-level wrongdoing. Our hero’s absence is noted in criminal circles, inspiring the Kingpin to at last operate openly.

He clashes with Spider-Man’s old foe the Big Man in a war over control of New York’s rackets. This makes Peter Parker realize that it’s more important to be doing the right thing even if the media attacks you for it, so he swings back into the fray as Spider-Man. Continue reading

NEWS ROUNDUP FOR JANUARY NINTH

Here’s an end of the week current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog. The Democrats have elevated their war on the rest of us. Every killing involving ICE has been provoked by Democrats and their media outlets lying and encouraging violence. Especially when Democrats need a distraction from the fraud and other scandals engulfing them.

Democrats have made it very clear that not only will they side with the killers of our loved ones if the killers are illegal immigrants, but they will call for violence against those people enforcing immigration laws. Democrats own all of this violence. 

AND REMEMBER – DEMOCRATS NEVER PROTEST LIKE THIS FOLLOWING ANY OF THE MANY CITIZEN DEATHS CAUSED BY ILLEGALS. NOT ONE TIME.

ACCUSED MINNEAPOLIS DOMESTIC TERRORIST SHOT BY ICE. Excerpts – “Good’s death is a tragedy of the left’s making. Their anti-ICE rhetoric convinced people like her that interfering with law enforcement was righteous. It wasn’t.” and “The Democrats own this mess. They’ve spent years demonizing ICE agents as fascists. Governor Tim Walz called ICE “Trump’s modern-day Gestapo” last year.” 

NBC’S VIDEO ANALYSIS SUPPORTS ICE AGENT’S READING OF EVENTS.   Plus – LIFE PARTNER OF THE LATE MN WOMAN BLAMES HERSELF: “IT’S MY FAULT.” 

ITEM: DEMOCRATS GOT MORE BLOOD. IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH FOR THEM.

DEMOCRATS WALZ AND FREY CHOOSE MORE VIOLENCE.     “GOVERNOR WALZ DECLARED “WE ARE AT WAR WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.”  MAYOR JACOB FREY: DIRTY HANDS?.

COURAGEOUS JOURNALIST NICK SHIRLEY – UNLIKE THE ONE PERCENTER POSEURS OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA – EXPOSES EVEN MORE FRAUD VIA SHELL COMPANIES. I will point out again that “reporters” at the major media outlets of both political parties make so much money that they are part of the corruption and are basically paid spokespeople for the political forces harming the country.

BLACKFACE PERFORMER AND DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDIST JIMMY KIMMEL IS SELLING MERCHANDISE EXPLOITING THE MINNESOTA SHOOTING. Do Democrats remember a time when they were capable of basic human decency? Well, okay, privileged white one percenter Kimmel was never capable of it. He’s a vulture, and a scavenger of human misery.

ELVIS AND ANDREW JACKSON: TWO PEAS IN A HISTORICAL POD ON THIS DATE

Elvis’ January 8th birthday being the same date as the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 have tied the two figures together in a very offbeat way. Here are some samplings of the offspring from these two strange bedfellows.

I WANT EL SANTO AND I WANT HIM NOW!

ORION: THE ELVIS PRESLEY HOAX/ PUT-ON/ TEASE – My examination of life imitating art imitating life down the bizarre rabbit hole of the 1978-1980 singer Orion and the resulting milking of the whole “Is he really Elvis Presley still alive, after all?” nonsense. Click HERE.

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL VS THE REDCOATS (2015) – The fake musical starring an Elvis impersonator as General Andrew Jackson and a female impersonator as Ann-Margret playing pirate Jean Lafitte. General Elvis defends New Orleans from a British Invasion spearheaded by an army of pastiches of English rock stars of the 1960s. Click HERE. Continue reading

THE GHOST GOES GEAR (1966) BAD MOVIE REVIEW

THE GHOST GOES GEAR (1966) – Okay, how could anyone resist a film that features a song titled Show Me Your English Teeth? This movie was the Spencer Davis Group’s addition to all the imitation Help! flicks from the 1960s as so many British bands tried to replicate the Beatles’ big screen success but fell below even some of the worst Monkees episodes in quality. 

And speaking of the Monkees, the show starring that pre-packaged “rock band” came out in September of 1966, the same month as The Ghost Goes Gear. Must have been something in the drinking water on both sides of the Atlantic that month. 

For those readers not familiar with them, the Spencer Davis Group was made up of THE Steve Winwood, his brother Muff Winwood (but not his sister Dick Winwood), Pete York and of course Spencer Davis.

Let’s face it, NO multi-band movie could possibly be as bad as Musical Mutiny, the Iron Butterfly (and others) Golden Turkey that I fell in love with back in 2021 and wrote a scene-by-scene review of. Musical Mutiny featured the ghost of a pirate plus a teenage mad scientist, but The Ghost Goes Gear had just a ghost. And just barely at that. Continue reading

APOCRYPHAL GOSPEL OF THE SAVIOR

A look at one of the many Apocryphal Gospels. 

THE GOSPEL OF THE SAVIOR – The narrative of this gospel centers around dialogues between Jesus and his apostles in the last few days before his arrest and crucifixion.

Some of the material is similar to the Gospels of John and Matthew, but some is Gnostic, with references to discarding the useless garment of the body so the soul can return to the empyrean realm (or Pleroma, if you insist). 

The most striking departure in this gospel comes in the Garden of Gethsemane segment, when Jesus, as God the Son, traditionally prays to God the Father to spare him the ordeals that lay ahead. In The Gospel of the Savior Jesus transports himself and his apostles to the throne-room of God the Father where he makes his appeal in person. Continue reading
