Balladeer’s Blog sends another shoutout to Prince, who inspired my Give Them A Shoutout Before They’re Dead segments. Been busy as hell lately but I should be back to normal blog-posting speed this weekend sometime.
BALLADEER’S BLOG IS EIGHT YEARS OLD TODAY
THANK YOU once again to all of you readers for making Balladeer’s Blog so enjoyable to write. As I always say the weird and controversial items I churn out here mean that readers have to be very secure in their own beliefs not to just take offense and leave.
Here’s a look at Glitternight.com’s eight biggest hits since last June:
MOST POPULAR ANCIENT SCI FI POST OF THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS – That honor goes to THE Nth MAN (1920-1924). Part proto-kaiju, part political allegory, it’s amazing it was never made into a movie. CLICK HERE
MOST POPULAR WILD WEST LEGEND POST FOR FRONTIERADO SEASON – The blog post that won this category was DUSTY DELIA: FEMALE STAGECOACH DRIVER. She was adept with guns, Native American lingo and more. CLICK HERE
MOST POPULAR BLOG POST ABOUT NEW SLOGANS FOR THE DEMOCRATS – The winner here was the second one, DEMOCRATS: MORE NEW SLOGANS. Lots of laughs. CLICK HERE
MOST POPULAR JULY FOURTH SEASONAL POST – That honor goes to THE TYRANNICIDE: COMMERCE RAIDER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. The high seas adventure was very well-received. CLICK HERE Continue reading

EVEN SNOPES ADMITS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PLACED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILDREN WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKERS
When even the hacks at Snopes can’t try to finesse words to make it look like Obama is innocent, you know the situation is bad. BARACK OBAMA’S ADMINISTRATION PLACED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILDREN WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKERS. Even Snopes had to admit that is the truth and that the usual Democrat and Republican game of kick-the-can followed AND STILL HASN’T BEEN FOLLOWED UP ON!
Once again we see that President Donald Trump is a de facto Third Party President and therefore gets attacked by the career criminals from both the Democrats and the Republicans.
Snopes does go on to beclown themselves in the same piece by pretending that the miniscule amount of media coverage to that scandal (one of many) during the Obama Administration was somehow equal to the frantic and outrightly dishonest media blitz against President Trump.
I will mention once again that the American Media and our crooked career politicians are so much worse than President Trump that they always make him look like the heroic underdog. People know a rigged pile-on when they see one. Donald Trump impresses me more every day and the comparisons with Abraham Lincoln – who also had to deal with Republican traitors and corrupt Democrats – are beginning to ring true.
When you phonies who pretend to care about illegal immigrant children address this plus my previous items about Obama and George W Bush having the same thing going on, THEN you can ask me about current events. But we all know you were just using this situation for political theater. “The children” mean nothing to you except as props.

DEMOCRATS AND THE BUSH FAMILY TRY BLAMING PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR THE SAME ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT “SEPARATION” POLICIES IN EFFECT UNDER OBAMA AND GEORGE W BUSH
Democrats and the Bush Family love exploiting children to try making cheap political points.
The alleged “cages” at our border were in use under the two previous presidents, too, but since President Trump is our first de facto Third Party President he’s getting double-teamed once again by Democrats AND by the repulsive Bush Family and Republicans who still worship that criminal clan.
***
IF YOU WEREN’T SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THESE POLICIES UNDER OBAMA AND BUSH YOU’RE JUST BEING PHONY BY PRETENDING YOU CARE NOW THAT TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT. (Hillary lost, fools, get over it!)
Martin Sheen’s character in The Dead Zone (above photo) was apparently the inspiration for the Democrats and the way they always hold up children to gutlessly protect themselves.
DEMOCRATS NEVER CARE ABOUT THE FAMILIES SEPARATED BY THE DEATHS CAUSED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. THAT DOESN’T FURTHER THEIR POLITICAL AGENDA.
It’s long past time for Democrats to be asked two of their favorite questions: “WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?” and “HAVE YOU NO DECENCY?”
THE PEOPLE OPPOSING PRESIDENT TRUMP – BE THEY DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN – ARE DAILY PROVING THEMSELVES FAR WORSE THAN HE HAS EVER BEEN.
*** AND BY THE WAY, THAT PHOTO THAT KEEPS MAKING THE ROUNDS ON PLACES LIKE FACEBOOK (“THE CONFIRMATION BIAS COMMUNITY”) WITH THE CRYING CHILD IN A CAGE WAS A POLITICAL STUNT AT A JUNE 10th DALLAS DEMONSTRATION SUPPORTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. ***
*** It was NOT a picture of anything the Trump Administration is doing. Trump’s fascist, uninformed foes don’t seem capable of telling the truth about anything. ***

F.B.I: FELONIOUS BARACK’S INQUISITORS ARE CORRUPT THUGS
Barack Obama’s Banana Republic administration continues to be exposed for what it was and I am still loving every minute of it! When the weak, inept and crooked little man named Obama was still in office you may recall that OVER FORTY of the government’s roughly 73 Inspectors General publicly complained about the way that the corrupt thugs with which Barack staffed every department were biased and were refusing to cooperate with oversight investigations.
Recently we’ve seen recommendations for criminal proceedings against Andrew McCabe at the FBI (disregarded by Jeff Sessions, the biggest mistake President Trump made when he was mistakenly thinking Republican trash might be worth trusting).
The most recent IG report, which we’ve all known was being watered down considering it came out months later than it was supposed to, couldn’t ignore all of the blatant bias at the FBI. The link to a fuller look is below but first some nauseating excerpts.
As you read the verbatim messages below try to picture how America’s hilariously hypocritical Democrats would be acting if the piece of garbage George W Bush had sic’ed FBI thugs on Obama’s campaign in 2008 and the supposedly “impartial investigators” were caught USING THEIR FBI DEVICES to relay sentiments like that about Barack and his supporters:
“During the course of the review, the OIG discovered text messages and instant messages between some FBI employees on the investigative team, conducted using FBI mobile devices and computers, that expressed statements of hostility toward then candidate Donald Trump and statements of support for then candidate Clinton.”
“We were deeply troubled by text messages exchanged …”
“August 8, 2016: In a text message on August 8, 2016, Page stated, “[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Strzok responded, “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”
“Five agents, not just agents Strzok and attorney Page, expressed anti-Trump, pro-Clinton messages on official FBI devices.”
“In undertaking our analysis, our task was made significantly more difficult because of text and instant messages exchanged on FBI devices and systems by five FBI employees involved in the Midyear investigation. These messages reflected political opinions in support of former Secretary Clinton and against her then political opponent, Donald Trump.”
“Some of these text messages and instant messages mixed political commentary with discussions about the Midyear investigation, and raised concerns that political bias may have impacted investigative decisions.“

FATHER’S DAY (2011)
FATHER’S DAY (2011) – Brace yourself for a gory time in this enjoyably outrageous cult classic.
Ahab, the eye-patch sporting hero of the Astron 6 horror film Father’s Day is in my opinion the one true successor to Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams. And considering how unfair the ending of this movie is for Ahab and his two sidekicks a case could even be made for them replacing Ash as the most royally screwed character in the history of gore-soaked horror comedies.
It’s difficult to review this dark, grotesque gem without resorting to a series of catch phrases like “Goes where Dead Alive and similar movies failed to go” or “What Grindhouse hath wrought” or even “Twink and Walnut: They’re NOT Muppets!” Let me start with a more practical line: Do not watch this movie if you can not handle the most offensive violence, concepts, gore and deranged sexuality imaginable.

HAPPY BLOOM’S DAY 2018!
Yes, it’s the 16th of June, better known to James Joyce geeks like me as Bloom’s Day. The day is named in honor of Leopold Bloom, the Jewish advertising sales rep and Freemason who is one of the major characters in Joyce’s novel Ulysses. The novel also brings along Stephen Dedalus, the protagonist of his earlier novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
For those unfamiliar with this work, Ulysses is Joyce’s stream-of-consciousness novel in which he metaphorically features the events from the Odyssey in a single day – June 16th, 1904, in Dublin. (The day he met Nora Barnacle, the woman he would eventually marry after living together for decades) Bloom represents Ulysses/Odysseus, Stephen represents Telemachus and Leopold’s wife, Molly Bloom, represents Penelope.
The novel is jam-packed with allusions to all manner of mythology (including sly references to the ancient Semitic myth which was the forerunner of the Odyssey, that’s why the character representing Ulysses is Jewish), Irish history and politics as well as a great deal of mystical and literary philosophy. Anyone into the Rosicrucians and their teachings should love spotting all the hidden meanings. Continue reading

TRANSGRESS WITH ME: JUNE 15th
Time for another round of Transgress With Me.
GOOD NEWS FOR THE POOR AND THE WORKING CLASS IS ALWAYS TREATED LIKE BAD NEWS BY THE DEMOCRATS.
THE AMERICAN LEFT HAS BECOME SO PRETENTIOUS THAT MANY OF THEM WHO ARE WORKING CLASS LIKE TO TELL THEMSELVES THAT THEY’RE NOT IN THE WORKING CLASS (Sorry, but if you can’t afford to quit your job right now and never work again you’re part of the working class whether you admit it or not. Maybe you should stop putting on airs and start siding with the working class yourself since you’re clearly part of it.) Continue reading

POLITICAL CARTOONS: JUNE 15th
While the Democrats and Republicans continue proving they’re just two rival gangs of white collar criminals here are two cartoons about the pathetic Rupert Pupkinesque dweeb named Robert De Niro aka Robert the Zero and about President Trump’s triumph with North Korea – for which he’s been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. And for actual accomplishments, unlike Obama, who got a meaningless pat on the head Nobel after being in office less than a year and doing absolutely nothing to deserve it.
***
And here’s an encore presentation:
I will say again that our De Facto Third Party President Donald Trump has also done great things for the working class and I’m not going to ignore that just because the man is hated by fascists, pompous snobs and shallow, uninformed and emotionally unstable celebrities.
