TRUMP CARDS: THE ROLE-PLAYING GAME

mascot-a-faceWith the nationwide rallies in support of President Donald Trump taking place this weekend, Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at Trump Cards: The Role- Playing Game that YOU can play. It’s like those playing-card fantasy games the guys on Big Bang Theory often participate in.

donald-trump-and-melaniaPRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP – After decades as a Democrat, Trump joined many of us in leaving that party which has betrayed everything it pretended to stand for.

Trump seems to have realized the Republicans were just as bad, but were run by such clueless buffoons he would be able to hijack their political party apparatus to use for his presidential run.

*** *** *** *** *** Trump is like Richard Channing (David Selby) on Falcon Crest ***

To the suprise of many (including ME, since I predicted career criminal Hillary Clinton would win, even though I despised her) the Donald WON! Trump has been channeling the best qualities of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt and Harry Truman to save the working class from the callous, the comfortable and the uncaring people who run DemCorp and RepubCorp.

Will he succeed? Will he be defeated? Or will he simply decide that the abuse from the powerful forces arrayed against him isn’t worth it and just play along with America’s notoriously corrupt political establishment in order to make his life easier? Therein lies the drama.

The fate of nations is on the line. The historical stakes being played for are astronomical. It’s a globe-spanning saga featuring so many underhanded and conscienceless figures that even a black-hearted rogue like Donald Trump might emerge on the side of the angels. And let’s face it – you don’t send Ned Flanders to square off against the Sopranos.

george-soros-aloneGEORGE SOROS – Soros is the whitest of white males and the most bloated of the bloated rich pigs in the world. People like him, the Koch Brothers, Carlos Slim and other Plutocrats have pocketed the DemoKKKrats just like they long ago pocketed the reptilian Republicans. 

Soros is so old he has ACTUAL ties to the Nazis, yet seems to be the only man in the world who never gets called Hitler by the media … Probably because he OWNS much of the media as well.

Soros has bragged about financing the various anti-Trump movements here in the U.S. and is wanted on charges in Hungary, Russia and other countries for financing organizations that corrupt their political systems as surely as Soros’ employees corrupt OURS. Continue reading →

ROBERT F KENNEDY, JR: “TRUMP COULD BE THE GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER”

robert-f-kennedy-jrRobert F Kennedy, Jr –  son of slain Senator Robert F Kennedy – joined the chorus of voices praising the unique situation that President Donald Trump is in. The link is below, but first some excerpts from Kennedy’s CNN interview:

“Donald Trump could be the greatest president in history if he wanted to, he could easily be the next Teddy Roosevelt.” (Note from Balladeer: Or even the next FRANKLIN Roosevelt)

“He’s actually — he has this extraordinary opportunity because he’s coming into office less burdened by obligation than probably any president in our history …

“Trump does not have obligations, he could really be an extraordinary president.” (Note from Balladeer: No obligations, just like FDR and JFK and even Robert’s own father if he had not been struck down by a Muslim assassin)

rogue-won-2nd-pic” … (H)e is not bound by ideology. He is less bound by ideology than any president probably that we’ve had this century.”  (Note from Balladeer: BINGO! Which is why Liberal and Conservative zealots are among those joining forces against him.) Continue reading →

BILL PAXTON: GAME OVER FOR THE STAR OF TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN

taking-tiger-mountainTAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN (1983) – The very memorable actor Bill Paxton passed away recently. I’ve been trying to decide which Paxton film appearance would fit in most with Balladeer’s Blog’s world of weirdness.

I considered the horror movie Mortuary (1983) in which Paxton portrayed a bizarre young mortician and slasher. The scene where he hops and skips among the graves is weird, but not quite WTF enough. I considered Brain Dead (1990) but Bill doesn’t have a big enough role. I almost went with The Dark Backward (1991), but that has (rightfully) become too well known over the years.  

Finally, I decided on Taking Tiger Mountain. Not just because of how flat-out deranged that movie is but because of the novelty factor: Bill Paxton’s BODY stars in the film, but his dialogue was all overdubbed by a British man. That odd circumstance always made me want to see Paxton’s infamous “Game over, man … we’re dead, man” whine from Aliens overdubbed by that same British guy saying “I say, something of a sticky wicket we’re in now, eh, lads?”

bill-paxtonPutting all that aside, Taking Tiger Mountain is an artsy black & white post-apocalypse movie which is more Born of Fire or A Boy and His Dog than Mad Max. In the aftermath of a nuclear war the world is in chaos with diseases running rampant, food riots breaking out regularly and the poles knocked off-kilter.   

Mutant rats are on the loose, as are the expected roving gangs of marauders. The makeshift governmental forces are playing a “spinning plates” game of maintaining order through distribution of pleasure-inducing drugs and an “anything goes” prostitution-based economy. Men can be women and women can be men. It’s a mixed-up world, it’s a shook-up world except for Paxton. Will-eye-am “Bill” Paaxxx-ton. Continue reading →

INDIAN AMERICAN SUPPORTERS OF TRUMP SPEAK OUT

donald-trump-and-flagThe link is below, but first some excerpts:

Digvijay Singh ‘Danny’ Gaekwad: “This one President in my lifetime, who has come on a national television and said I love India, I love Indians, I want to help India, I want to fight terrorism.” 

“He understands India very well. I have not met a presidential candidate in my lifetime who knows about India, who has been to India and who understands India and who ever dared to say in the middle of a heated political debate that I love India and I love Hindus,” he added.

And the entire world is well aware of the difference between Indian immigrants and immigrants who are Islamists: 

Harry Walia: “Because we bring talent, we are economic engines in America. We are a peaceful community. We are activist in mainstream and we do not talk trash to anyone. We contribute a lot to the American society,” he said. (Note from Balladeer: And this is why the Democrats consider Indian immigrants like this to be of no use to them politically. DemoKKKrats are the party of race-hatred and eternal division.) Continue reading →

FOR YOUR HEIGHT ONLY (1981)

Weng Weng and Lola

Weng Weng and Lola

FOR YOUR HEIGHT ONLY (1981) – Category: A neglected bad movie classic that deserves a Plan 9– sized cult following.

This hilariously bizarre film is just so chock full of inane dialogue and WTF moments that it’s a challenge to write a review that isn’t novel-length.

For the essentials: this is a Philippine action movie starring the midget novelty celebrity named Weng Weng as Secret Agent OO (yes, Double O). It sounds like a comedy but what makes it great is that IT’S NOT!

It’s played seriously and features Weng Weng using firearms and fancy gadgets like James Bond, engaging in martial arts fights like Bruce Lee, drooling over regular-sized women like Herve Villaichez, sword- fighting as skillfully as Zatoichi and sporting a poorly- concealed bald spot like Ryen Russillo. 

Weng Weng works for an outfit called simply “The Secret Agency”, so I’m guessing it’s one of those generic intelligence services that is MUCH cheaper than name brands. Hell, the head of the Continue reading →

SJW’S: LOSERS OR JUST FOOLS?

Mascot with demo and repub heads

By way of this general announcement I will once again remind the ridiculous poseurs who refer to themselves as SJW’s that, if they expect me to allow their comments to show – comments in which they absurdly refer to themselves with that hilariously pretentious and grandiose SJW label – then they have to address me as a “Heroic Defender of Freedom.”

Doing so might just convey to you what silly “only child” jackasses you look like to other people when you use that lame SJW title.

First – Calling YOURSELF an SJW is as meaningless as the way some of you compound this narcissistic idiocy by labeling yourselves a “Public Intellectual” on your social media home pages. Face it, if you’re reduced to designating YOURSELF as an intellectual – public or otherwise – you’re probably not one.

Second – The term “Social Justice” is as ridiculous as the Right-Wing terms “Family Values” and “Patriotic American.” Reasonable adults will not necessarily ever agree on the meaning of such silly generalities. Everyone knows when SJW’s and their ilk refer to Social Justice they REALLY mean only their own definition of it – a definition polluted by their political prejudices and self-centered drama queen tendencies.
