Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog wishes you a happy Juneteenth, commemorating the day Democrats lost their slaves. African-Americans continue fighting for their freedom from the Democrats, who today treat people of color like they still own them and that they MUST vote for Democrats and ONLY Democrats. Democrat Joe Biden, embodying the grotesque hypocrisy of that detestable political party, EULOGIZED A KLANSMAN – DEMOCRAT SENATOR ROBERT BYRD – yet Biden thinks he’s fit to give finger-wagging lectures to the rest of us.
And y’know what? I’ve managed to go my whole life without ever knowing a Klansman let alone praising them after their death. But a piece of garbage like Joe Biden – whose racial slurs and other incidents of racist behavior are legion – presumes to elevate himself above the nation at large as if he’s some sort of High Priest of Racial Awareness. I’m neither a Democrat nor a Republican, so I’m not being partisan when I point out that Joe Biden is the herpes sore on the Body Politic.
Hillary Clinton with the Klansman she called one of her “mentors” – fellow Democrat Robert Byrd.
In further commemoration of Juneteenth here’s some more reminders about Democrats: the party of slavery, Dred Scott, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow and so much more. None of us choose the skin color we were born with or what country we were born in but we can certainly choose what political party we are or are not associated with. Do you still choose to belong to the party of the Democrats after all their crimes against humanity? #WALKAWAY and become an Independent Voter .
The hypocritical Democrats love to COMMIT the atrocities that they then go on to blame THE REST OF US FOR! They love to act like THEY can just move on and forget their role in slavery, Japanese internment, the Trail of Tears and so much else, but the rest of the country bears some absurd collective guilt over those things for the rest of eternity. For example … Continue reading
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! As usual, Balladeer’s Blog marks the occasion with a look at a neglected aspect of American military history. Spare some thoughts today for the men who perished in this action. 
With the World War still raging, the other Allied Nations prevailed on President Woodrow Wilson to divert some American forces intended for the Western Front to Archangel and beyond, joining a combined army of Brits, Poles and White Russians. The fighting in North Russia dragged on past the end of the global conflict in November of 1918 into June of 1919. The fighting in Eastern Russia dragged on until January of 1920. In other words, if the Americans sent to Russia had instead gone to their original destination of France, their combat operations would have ended on November 11th, rather than continuing for more than a year of further bloodshed and loss of limbs from frostbite. All the more reason to remember the often-neglected troops who served there. 
MAY ??, 1800: The Adams defeated and captured the French ship Grinder. 
Memorial Day Weekend is fast upon us with this topical post from Balladeer’s Blog. This one covers some naval actions from America’s undeclared, neither fish nor fowl, quasi-Naval War with France. Often called Stoddert’s War in reference to Benjamin Stoddert, America’s first Secretary of the Navy, this conflict was waged largely in the West Indies.

For assorted reasons the potential of a new Supreme Court vacancy has been much discussed in recent months. Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the various Supreme Court nominees who were REJECTED by the Senate. I’m omitting John Rutledge since – because he was a recess appointment – he actually served as Chief Justice for one of the Court’s terms before the official Senate vote rejecting his nomination by President Washington.
