JOE BIDEN SCANDALS AND MORE EXPOSES ABOUT THE TAINTED 2020 ELECTION

transactions on congress membersHere at Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog I make no bones about the fact that I’d be happy to see America’s rival gangs of white-collar criminals – the Democrat and Republican Parties – splinter into multiple smaller parties. I don’t support either political party so my opinions are not based on helping either of them. I repeat that every so often for the benefit of new readers.

JOE BIDEN, OWNED BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, ENDS AMERICA’S ENERGY INDEPENDENCE TO HELP MAKE US DEPENDENT ON CHINA

orwell boy did i call itTHE VILE, ORWELLIAN BIDEN REGIME. An excellent piece about the non-stop abuses by the senile yet corrupt Joe Biden and the Biden Crime Family. Their thuggish underlings are also covered.

CHINA CONTINUES TO GET ITS MONEY’S WORTH OUT OF JOE BIDEN. This time on drones.

STATE SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATIONS BLAST BIDEN FOR SICCING HIS POLITICIZED DOJ ON PARENTS

BIDEN REGIME SENDING FOREIGN AID TO THE TALIBAN. Hey, it’s less money that China will need to spend to keep their Taliban allies afloat. Crooked Joe Biden lets no opportunity to help his owners go by.

RIGGED: FEMALE ROLE MODEL MOLLIE HEMINGWAY EXPOSES THE MANY 2020 ELECTION SCANDALS IN GEORGIA. Along with the wrongdoing exposed in Arizona, Michigan and elsewhere, this further cements the way 2020 joins the 1876 and year 2000 elections in corruption. Yes, America has had three tainted presidential elections in which the likely loser went to the White House. Grow up and deal with it.

MONSTER CEREALS FOR HALLOWEEN

monster crunch gameHalloween Month continues here at Balladeer’s Blog with this nostalgic look at the Big Five monster-themed cereals from General Mills.

In a world that has seen an Emoji movie I have no idea why there’s no animated monster rally movie featuring this quintet. Or at the very least maybe some new monster cereals like Banana Witch or Grape Goblin or something. Maybe “Zom-Bea”, a female zombie whose cereal looks like tiny brains.   

count choculaCOUNT CHOCULA

First Appearance: 1971

Voiced like Bela Lugosi, this cartoon vampire preferred his own chocolate-flavored, marshmallow-sprinkled cereal treat over sucking the blood of his victims. “I vunt to eat your cereal!” was, in fact, his tagline in contrast to the cliched vampire declaration “I vunt to suck your blood!”

Count Chocula cereal is still in stores seasonally – September and October.

The cartoon character’s imitation Bela Lugosi voice was a nice nostalgic nod to fans of classic horror films, especially in regard to the Count’s rivalry with another General Mills Monster Cereal Mascot. Continue reading

EVERYBODY BELIEVES THEY ARE ON “THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY”

masc graveyard newI love exploring the mythology behind the world’s various belief systems.

America’s Democrats have regressed into a faith-based belief system that’s every bit as irrational as any other religion, but since Democrats – or “Democrat Fundamentalists” – are such pompous, hypocritical and close-minded fools it’s A LOT of fun to describe their myths as sarcastically as possible.

THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY – The Democrat Party’s version of an afterlife. Narcissistic Democrats strive to live their lives in such a way that people every bit as pretentious and snobbish as they are will sit around in the future sipping wine and pompously expressing approval of the worldview and political opinions that today’s Democrat Fundamentalists held while alive.

This notion of an afterlife is every bit as flawed and fantastic as any other religion’s tales about what happens after human beings die. No one alive today knows how the people of the future will feel about any of us or about our worldview.

SnobIf anything history has shown that people – ESPECIALLY the self-congratulatory asses called Democrats – take great delight in loudly and repeatedly condemning people of the past for (GASP) having opinions that differ from their own. It takes no courage and little effort to put on an air of moral superiority toward long-dead human beings.

That being said it’s more likely that American Democrats of the future will look down on even the most self-consciously “progressive” Puritans of today as hopelessly misguided or simply ignorant.

Those future Democrat Fundamentalists very well may just sit around sipping wine and reassuring each other that they are morally superior to every Democrat of this era for not having THE EXACT SAME opinions as they do regarding race, gender, etc. Exactly like pompous Democrat Fundamentalists of today do with people of the past.

Claiming to be on “the right side of history” represents the same flawed thinking process as being convinced that you have God on your side. EVERYBODY tends to feel that way.

#WalkAwayThe obsessive conformity, status-anxiety and insecurities of Democrats prevent them from questioning their faith and thereby realizing that their own condemnation of figures from long ago is every bit as much of a shallow, meaningless pose as the attitude that may be shown by Democrat Fundamentalists of the future.

SPIDER-MAN: 1970s CLASSICS 7 – MORBIUS, MAN-WOLF AND DR STRANGE

Here’s Part Seven of Spider-Man 1970s Classics. For Part One click HERE. By sheer coincidence this weekend’s installment fits the Halloween Month theme.

giant size superheroes 1GIANT-SIZE SUPERHEROES Vol 1 #1 (June 1974)

Title: Man-Wolf at Midnight

Villains: Morbius the Living Vampire and the Man-Wolf

NOTE: The Giant-Size comic books were quarterly publications that Marvel Comics briefly experimented with in the 1970s. They came out in addition to the monthly installments of their other titles.

Synopsis: Spider-Man is swinging his way around New York City, reflecting on Liz Allen’s recent return to the lives of Peter Parker and his friends. He also contemplates the Jackal, who is still at large after trying to kill Spider-Man twice – once through an alliance with the Punisher and a second time by maneuvering our hero into the middle of another clash between Dr Octopus and Hammerhead.

On the streets below is former astronaut John Jameson, the son of J Jonah Jameson, owner and publisher of the Daily Bugle newspaper. John has been out at a restaurant with his fiancee Kristine Saunders and the sight of Spider-Man swinging along high above calls to mind John’s previous nocturnal transformations into a scientifically based werewolf called the Man-Wolf.

Those transformations were caused by the moon rock which John had been wearing around his neck as a souvenir and which was a dangerous object that rooted itself into John’s neck and throat to prevent him from removing it. Continue reading

LARAINE NEWMAN’S CANNED FILM FESTIVAL (1986)

ritzTHE CANNED FILM FESTIVAL STARRING LARAINE NEWMAN (1986) – Halloween Month continues at Balladeer’s Blog with this look at a neglected Movie Host show, since Movie Hosts/ Horror Hosts are as associated with Halloween as are monsters and cosplay.

In this post I won’t be covering the entire history of movie hosting and the “So Bad They’re Good” film subculture. For that, there are my many other blog posts covering movie hosting from Vampira and her contemporaries, through Moona Lisa, then Son of Svengoolie, Elvira, and programs like Saturday Night Dead, The Texas 27 Film Vault and MST3K

canned film festival castTHE SHOW: The Canned Film Festival Starring Laraine Newman. From June 21st to September 13th of 1986 this syndicated program sponsored largely by Dr Pepper aired on Saturday nights in various time slots around the United States. Elvira’s show Movie Macabre had run from 1981 to 1986 and was winding down. The Texas 27 Film Vault, which had debuted on February 9th, 1985 was still on the air and would run for roughly two and a half years in Texas and Oklahoma.

Along came The Canned Film Festival, which, with a nationally known name like Laraine Newman attached to it, may well have been the reason that one of the attempted syndication deals for T27FV fell through. Be that as it may, Laraine Newman’s show would – like The Texas 27 Film Vault – show more than just lame horror and sci-fi films and would cover the whole spectrum of bad and/ or campy cinema of the past.

laraine as the usheretteTHE HOSTESS: Laraine Newman may be best known for Saturday Night Live and for her character actress work, but she had been a member of The Groundlings improvisational comedy troupe … As had Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira. Newman was also known as an aficionado of horror and fringe cinema. Continue reading

JOE BIDEN’S FASCIST FOLLIES CONTINUE

joe biden slovenly messAs senile yet corrupt Joe Biden’s owners in the Chinese government assume possession of Bagram and other former American bases in Afghanistan, here at home the doddering demagogue continues to divide the nation while using the apparatus of government to try silencing dissent. Meanwhile the accused rapist’s Underboss Hunter Biden is still funneling bribe money to the Biden Crime Family via six-figure “sales of his artwork.” (LMAO) 

JOE BIDEN, INCOHERENT, INARTICULATE AND ILLEGITIMATE AS EVER, JUSTIFIES SICCING THE DEMOCRATS’ FASCIST MOBS ON SENATOR KYRSTEN SINEMA FOR DARING TO DISOBEY HIM. The authoritarian scumbag actually justified mob harassment as “part of the process.” More HERE.

CREEPY, SLEEPY JOE’S SON AND UNDERBOSS HUNTER BIDEN STILL STALLING REGARDING HUNTER DIVESTING FROM CHINESE FINANCIAL FIRM. It can’t be stated often enough – Joe Biden and his Crime Family are apparently owned by China.

MICHIGAN’S DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR WHITMER VETOES ELECTION INTEGRITY MEASURES THAT WOULD PREVENT RECURRENCES OF THE WIDESPREAD “CHEAT BY MAIL” AND SIMILAR 2020 ELECTION SCAMS. And remember when Whitmer was pushing her Big Lie that Trump was involved in a plot to kidnap her? Is Whitmer all there? 

democrat republican or awakeBRAZEN ANTI-TRUMP LIES CALLED OUT IN STEPHANIE GRISHAM’S NEW BOOK. She’s being called out by Steve Scalise, victim of Democrat fascist violence-mongering.

MORE AND MORE ANTI-BIDEN CHANTS RINGING OUT LOUD AND STRONG ACROSS THE NATION. Despite the demented dolt’s ongoing attempts to suppress them. More HERE from New York. And more HERE. For Michigan HERE.

POLL: SIXTY-FOUR PERCENT FEEL BIDEN HAS DIVIDED THE COUNTRY MORE THAN IT WAS A YEAR AGO. Plus, remember the Quinnipiac poll showing only 42% thought the Biden Regime was competent? I wonder how low that figure has become since then?

JOE BIDEN’S POLITICIZED DEMOCRAT PAC CALLED THE DOJ BEING UNLEASHED ON PARENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Joe Biden is totalitarian trash. Is he hoping to provoke a show of defiance that he can once again falsely label an “insurrection?”

427,000 PARENTS RESPOND TO THE BIDEN REGIME’S ATTEMPT TO LABEL THEM “DOMESTIC TERRORISTS” FOR SPEAKING OUT AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS. More HERE. And by the way, most school board meetings REQUIRE I.D. AND PROOF OF RESIDENCE to speak at. In other words school board meetings are more securely run than America’s fraud-infected electoral process.  Continue reading

FAUST (1987): THE PRE-SPAWN VERSION OF SPAWN

faustFAUST: LOVE OF THE DAMNED (1987) – Written by David Quinn with artwork by Tim Vigil. Halloween Month continues here at Balladeer’s Blog with this review of the 1987-2012 “adult” comic book series Faust. This series included very graphic and very unusual sex and violence while offering a twisted update on the story of Faust selling his soul to Mephistopheles. The year 2000 Brian Yuzna (’nuff said) movie version of Faust: Love of the Damned is pretty bad but does capture the blood-soaked, anarchic WTF air of the series.  

Before I get into plot details I’ll point out that, despite the criticism that Quinn and Vigil get for providing stories featuring extreme sex and gore in a purely sensational manner they never sold out their indy comic vision by watering down either the sex or the violence just for wider distribution and more money.

14 NEGLECTED GOTHIC HORROR STORIES

Halloween Month continues here at Balladeer’s Blog with this look at some of the neglected literary horror tales I’ve reviewed.

ensouled violin picTHE ENSOULED VIOLIN (1880) – Written by THE Madame Blavatsky. A gifted Austrian violin player named Franz Stenio is drawn to occult studies while away at college. Hearing dark legends about how Niccolo Paganini supposedly acquired his otherworldly skill with the violin, Franz carries out some of the rumored rituals in real life, to bloody and deadly effect. The fallout is horrific. CLICK HERE.  

CITY OF VAMPIRES (1867) – Written by Paul Feval. This criminally neglected story depicts a fictionalized young version of the Gothic horror writer Ann Radcliffe when she was still Ann Ward. To try to save some friends she trails them to the Belgrade city of vampires called Selene as well as the Sepulchre. In that perpetually gloomy and overcast village Ann and company must deal with vampires of varied abilities from back in the era before vampire lore was as set in stone as it later became. CLICK HERE

werwolvesTHE WERWOLVES (1898) – Written by Honore Beaugrand. A pack of werewolves prey upon victims in Canada. Plenty of unusual takes on lycanthrope lore with a north of the border touch. These particular werewolves are of Iroquois extraction which, along with the cold and snowy backdrop, helps to make this Canadian horror tale stand out from the rest. CLICK HERE. Continue reading
