DEMOCRAT ATROCITY ROUNDUP: APRIL 6th

democrat republican otherIndependent 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!”

BIDEN’S INFLATION HAS CAUSED RENTS TO SKYROCKET – ONE BEDROOM APARTMENTS HAVE GONE UP 98%, TWO BEDROOM APARTMENTS HAVE GONE UP 100%. The Biden Regime’s war on the working class and the poor continues unabated.

ANOTHER REPORT ABOUT UNDERBOSS HUNTER BIDEN FUNNELING MONEY. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. And HERE. And remember, all of this was exposed before the forever tainted 2020 presidential election, but Democrat media and social media outlets banned the information to protect the Biden Campaign.

DEMOCRATS AT CBS STEP UP THEIR POLITICAL LITMUS TESTS TO WORK THERE. Not a member of The Party? They don’t want you there!

FIFTEEN DEMOCRAT MEDIA FIGURES CAUGHT IN ANOTHER ANTI-TRUMP HOAX. More HERE. And HERE. There IS NO seven-hour gap. This lie about Trump fell apart even quicker than all the other media lies about him.

CROOKED JOE BIDEN CONTINUES TO BLOW UP AND LASH OUT IN ANGER WHEN HIS REGIME’S CORRUPTION IS QUESTIONED. The Democrats’ media outlets pretended Biden’s predecessor was “dangerous” for far less explosive reactions to much greater provocation.

A FLIGHT TO THE MOON (1813) – ANCIENT SCIENCE FICTION

a flight to the moonA FLIGHT TO THE MOON (1813) – Written by George Fowler. This story introduces readers to Randalthus (no last name given), an 1800s American man who has come to regard the moon with a mixture of near-pagan worship and pioneer longing.

Randalthus, who often goes by the shortened name Rand, is admiring the moon as he does nearly every night when a beautiful female alien figure appears to him.  Having read the adoring thoughts that our narrator directs at Earth’s satellite, she has come to grant him his wish to visit the moon and meets its peoples.

She wraps Randalthus in the white glow which surrounds her and flies the two of them to the moon. Randalthus recounts experiencing gravitational changes during the flight and eventual landing on the moon. Continue reading →

JIREL OF JOIRY: CHAPTER LINKS

Jirel of JoiryAn alert reader reminded me that I did not remember to put up a blog post with links to all my reviews of female author C.L. Moore’s six Jirel of Joiry pulp stories from the 1930s. Here is that collection of links in one convenient blog post.

BLACK GOD’S KISS (1934) – The first story featuring Jirel of Joiry, a sword-wielding woman warrior from late Medieval France. From Castle Joiry she leads her army in frequent raids on rival domains while often battling mind-boggling supernatural menaces. Jirel really was the kind of red-haired action heroine that people think of Red Sonja as being, but Robert E Howard’s character Red Sonya (not Sonja) was from the 1520s, not the Hyborean Age, and used guns as well as swords.  

This debut tale introduces Jirel, Father Gervase and the Jason Momoa-esque Guillaume the Conqueror. Our heroine enters a vile netherworld to secure a supernatural weapon. Click HERE. Continue reading →

TRANSGRESS WITH ME

voltaire quote on educationTime 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.

*** Democrat dishonesty has become even worse and is spiraling out of control. The number of lies they try to force the rest of us to believe is always growing.

*** People who say that teaching is a political act should never be trusted with authority over vulnerable young minds.

*** REMEMBER, HILLARY CLINTON AND HER ORGANIZATION WERE RECENTLY FINED SIX FIGURES FOR THEIR ROLE IN THE “RUSSIAN COLLUSION” HOAX THAT THEY MANUFACTURED AGAINST DE FACTO THIRD PARTY PRESIDENT TRUMP. 

*** DEMOCRATS ARE NOT LIBERALS – THEY ARE VERY ILLIBERAL.

*** DEMOCRATS ARE NOT PROGRESSIVES – THEY ARE VERY REGRESSIVE.

orwell on the party and truth*** RACHEL LEVINE AND LIA THOMAS ARE MEN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH DEMOCRATS (“THE PARTY”) ORDER THE REST OF US TO PRETEND OTHERWISE.

*** THE JANUARY 6TH PROTEST WAS NOT AN “INSURRECTION.” NOT EVEN CLOSE. 

*** THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY SCANDALS EXPOSED BY HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP WERE REAL, NOT “DISINFORMATION” LIKE DEMOCRATS AND THEIR MEDIA OUTLETS DISHONESTLY PRETENDED.

*** THE CORPORATE MEDIA HAS LIED TO US SO MANY TIMES THEY SHOULD ALWAYS BE REGARDED WITH SKEPTICISM.

*** WHEN POMPOUS DEMOCRATS PUT UP THOSE RIDICULOUS “HATE HAS NO HOME HERE” SIGNS THEY REALLY MEAN “HATE HAS NO HOME HERE, EXCEPT FOR OUR PERFECTLY RIGHTEOUS HATRED OF EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ANY OF OUR POLITICAL OPINIONS.”

*** THE BIDEN REGIME IS A CORPORATE FASCIST KLEPTOCRACY. Continue reading →

CALIFORNIA LADY: FRANK LARRABEE’S NEGLECTED BUT VERY CATCHY SONG

frank larrabeeRegular 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.

Hidden away inside that piece of 1970s schlock was the song California Lady, a catchy and fun song written and performed by Frank Larrabee. In the way that the song Recipe for Romance is associated with the movie Bloody New Year (aka Time Trap) and the song More is associated with Mondo Cane, California Lady has been bound to Track of the Moon Beast.

frank larrabee on stageFrustratingly, 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 HERE).

FRANK LARRABEE EPThe 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.

Click HERE for the EP with the song at 10:03 and HERE for the version below. FOR THE GClephMusique REMASTER, with California Lady as the first song click HERE.

GHOST WATCH (1992)

Ghostwatch 1992GHOSTWATCH (1992) – This was a British made for t.v. movie that aired on Halloween Night in 1992. Ghostwatch is a nice – albeit boring – little novelty item for the way it anticipated the paranormal “reality” (LMAO) shows of today.

masc graveyard smallerThe telefilm also can’t help but put viewers in mind of the Paranormal Activity series and countless other Found Footage horror movies. Ghostwatch involves much older technology of course but for once, since the make-believe t.v. crew is filming their investigation of a haunted house, it MAKES SENSE for people to be filming everything.  

The casting for this production was well-done in that it contains virtually NO recognizable faces. Usually when watching BBC items from back then viewers can’t help but play Spot the Doctor Who/ Sherlock Holmes/ British Murder Mysteries Actor. Continue reading →

IRON MAN: 1970s CLASSICS 1 – THE BLACK LAMA AND RAGA, SON OF FIRE

robert downey jr iron manWeekends are the time for Balladeer’s Blog’s escapist forays into superheroes, who seem to be everywhere these days. This time around it will be a multi-week look at Iron Man and one of his most memorable story runs from the 1970s.

im 52IRON MAN Vol 1 #52 (November 1972)

Title: Raga, Son of Fire

Villains: The Black Lama and Raga, Son of Fire

NOTE: This is still the decades-long period of time when Tony Stark covered up his identity as Iron Man by pretending publicly that the armored superhero was really his high-tech bodyguard. That explanation allayed suspicion about why Iron Man so often showed up wherever Tony Stark was at the time. 

Synopsis: This issue starts off with Tony Stark in his Iron Man armor using his high-tech training room at Stark Industries Headquarters on Long Island. Our hero uses this hidden area as a testing ground for every upgrade he adds to his armor.

rdj as tony starkThis afternoon all of the destructive devices and traps are overcome by Iron Man’s latest improvements. The test session over with, Tony Stark catches a flight to California. With his engagement to long-time girlfriend Marianne Rodgers called off recently our hero is off on a vacation.

He starts partying with other members of the Jet Set in the on-board lounge during his flight westward. With Tony once again available – and with his secret heart transplant working perfectly – he returns to his old playboy ways. The women on board vie with each other for Stark’s attention, smitten with his looks, brains and immense wealth. Continue reading →

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY: JOE BIDEN’S FBI ADMITS IT HAS LOST THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP – AND WITH IT GOES ANY LEGITIMACY

biden and hunter drugsIndependent 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 BIDEN FBI – HIS PERSONAL GESTAPO – HAS ADMITTED IN CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY THAT THEY HAVE LOST THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP AND ITS WEALTH OF EVIDENCE REGARDING THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY’S COUNTLESS SCANDALS AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. 

biden blustering like a fool

Blustering demagogue

Luckily, Congressman Matt Gaetz and others had previously copied some of the files on that laptop and just introduced those copies into the Congressional Record. This will thwart some of the Biden Regime’s attempts to destroy the evidence against them. Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley indicated that they will be bringing forth even more evidence against the Biden Crime Family.

Just one of the recent pieces of evidence against the Biden Crime Family was proof of a $100,000.00 payment funneled to Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son and Underboss, by parties in China. Just another drop in the ocean of Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling efforts.

Not since Warren G Harding and the Ohio Gang has the United States been run by a more transparently criminal outfit. By “losing” the laptop the Biden Regime has forfeited ANY benefit of the doubt on ANY of the scandals currently engulfing them.

*** AND REMEMBER – WAY BACK WHEN THE LAPTOP WAS TURNED OVER TO THE FBI, PLENTY OF PEOPLE EXPRESSED THE OPINION THAT THEY WOULD CONVENIENTLY LOSE IT, GIVEN THE ROT AT THE FBI. THOSE PEOPLE WERE DISMISSED AS “CONSPIRACY THEORISTS” YET “LOSING” THE LAPTOP IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

biden the fascistThe 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 Democrats’ many media outlets – including the Big Tech fascists who protect Biden as Big Brother online. And who interfered in the 2020 presidential election by banning references to the scandals exposed by the Hunter Biden laptop (among other things). Continue reading →
