NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: NOV 29th

polish official saysIt’s time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.

POLISH OFFICIAL CONFIRMS THAT DEMOCRAT SCAM WITH ZELENSKY FUNNELED HALF OF U.S. AID BACK TO BIDEN REGIME AND OTHER CORRUPT POLITICIANS. And the Biden Crime Organization just gave twenty-four BILLION more to their coconspirator Zelensky. Bigger than the Teapot Dome and Credit Mobilier Scandals combined.

CALIFORNIA’S ONGOING LONG COUNT OF ELECTION RESULTS HAS ALREADY FLIPPED TWO MORE HOUSE SEATS BACK TO DEMOCRATS. Since at least 2018 these long counts this far after election day have done this. It may go back even further, but 2018 was when it first caught my attention. 

DESANTIS ADDS HIS VOICE TO THE CRITICISM OF CALIFORNIA’S ABSURD ONGOING FARCE WITH FINDING “UNCOUNTED” VOTES FOR THEIR CANDIDATES THIS LONG AFTER ELECTION DAY.

LEGAL FIGHT AGAINST CALIFORNIA’S TRANSPARENT LATE COUNT CHICANERY. It’s about time!

DONALD TRUMP ONCE AGAIN NOMINATED FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, THIS TIME BY A UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL. More HERE.

CORRUPT BIDEN REGIME OPENLY SABOTAGING INCOMING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ON THEIR WAY OUT THE DOOR.

NOV 27th ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

From Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog it’s another current events roundup. 

trump newBE FURTHER THANKFUL THAT TRUMP WON – BIDEN REGIME POLICIES CAUSED THANKSGIVING COSTS TO GO UP 24%. Americans look with hope to less inflation next year. 

JOE BIDEN’S LACKEYS SURRENDER AND CALL OFF LAWFARE AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP, DROPPING THEIR PURELY POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF HIM. More HERE. We all knew that these cases were absolute nonsense. Only Trump-haters pretended they were legit. More HERE. We also knew the appeals courts would strike down these cases.

california outlineTHE DEMOCRATS IN CALIFORNIA AND OREGON ARE STILL FINDING VOTES. And literally 2 million more “uncounted” votes for Kamala have been found. It’s possible the goal is to pretend Kamala won the popular vote or at least argue that Trump does not have a mandate.

           Voter integrity groups need to fight this absurdity – the election was weeks ago and Democrats are still engaging in their practice of “finding” votes for their candidates long after the country stops paying attention.

THE TRUMP EFFECT: MEXICO’S PRESIDENT NOW SAYS THE LATEST MOB OF ILLEGALS WON’T BE ALLOWED TO REACH THE U.S. BORDER. As adults knew, Trump’s tariff talk was your typical bargaining stratagem. Anti-Trump fanatics are apparently still going to pretend his every move is a call for hysteria.

REPUBLICAN JOHN BOLTON, A CHRONIC FAILURE, FLAILING AGAINST TULSI GABBARD. It’s silly for Bolton of all people to pretend someone else is unqualified. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOON ROUNDUP: NOV 25th

Another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog

INTOLERANT AND FANATICAL DEMOCRATS CRAZILY ATTACKING COURAGEOUS TULSI GABBARD BECAUSE SHE LEFT BEHIND THEIR UNHINGED PARTY.

MORE REMINDERS OF THE WAY THAT THE HARRIS-BIDEN REGIME USED THE DOJ TO TARGET THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS. A regime by and for human filth.

CAREER CRIMINAL JOE BIDEN TRYING TO CANCEL FOUR POINT FIVE BILLION DOLLARS OF UKRAINE’S DEBT ON HIS WAY OUT OF OFFICE. We’re all used to the way that corrupt presidents pardon their unsavory cohorts in the closing days of their administration, but Joe Biden is adding outright theft from taxpayers AND a push for World War III. He’s still unfit and illegit.

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS ARE STILL FINDING “UNCOUNTED” VOTES ALMOST THREE WEEKS AFTER ELECTION DAY. And inattentive Republicans lose a few more offices they celebrated winning. All of India can get its votes counted in one day, but California continues their late-counting larceny. More HERE.

abby phillipANOTHER DEMOCRAT BRAVELY CALLS OUT THE PARTY’S POMPOUS SNOBBERY AND INTOLERANCE. Among her remarks: “I have observed that elites increasingly talk only to each other and come to believe that because there is consensus among them that that consensus is shared broadly and there are not enough voices that are confident enough to disagree and to present alternatives.”

KURT SCHLICHTER GETS IT RIGHT ABOUT THE TIMID, FLIMSY, NEARLY NON-EXISTENT “MAJORITY” THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE LEFT IN THE HOUSE. Continue reading

NOV 22nd ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

The latest current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.

joe biden mushroom cloudJOE BIDEN STILL TRYING TO MAKE PEACE BETWEEN UKRAINE AND RUSSIA IMPOSSIBLE ON HIS WAY OUT THE DOOR. Joe is garbage. And remember, he’s been declared incompetent to stand trial for his many crimes, yet he’s supposedly competent enough to sit in the Oval Office.

PRIVILEGED WHITE ONE PERCENTER NANCY PELOSI BEING HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR HER MANY DISASTERS. That includes the way she caused the Democrats to lose the House of Representatives TWICE under her “speakership.” More HERE.

DEMOCRAT SETH MOULTON IS THE LATEST TO ADMIT THAT THE PARTY HAS LOST TOUCH WITH AMERICANS. Among his remarks: “Well, obviously, we’ve lost touch with the majority of Americans. Democrats have a habit of preaching down to people and telling them that if they don’t 100% agree with our orthodox view, often defined by the far left, then they’re just bad people. They’re morally wrong. And that’s not going to win us any elections.” 

EXCELLENT ARTICLE ABOUT ALL THE CAREER POLITICIAN/ CAREER CRIMINALS THAT TRUMP HAS BEATEN OR IS STILL CLASHING WITH. Grifting and graft-grabbing members of both major parties have fallen to Trump the reformer. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: NOV TWENTIETH

Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog

PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT AT LAST INTERVENES TO STOP DEMOCRAT BOB CASEY’S MACHINE FROM COUNTING ILLEGAL BALLOTS IN ORDER TO REVERSE THE LOSS OF HIS SENATE SEAT.

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S RNC HEAD DISCUSSES THE BATTLE TO STOP THE BOB CASEY ANTICS IN PENNSYLVANIA. I’m happy to admit I was wrong about the RNC failing to take effective action in this case. The goal was to stop PA Democrats from trying this type of vote fraud ever again, especially after the forever-tainted 2020 election. Further proof – as if more were needed – that Democrat vote fraud that year installed Joe Biden in the White House.  

RNC CHAIR MICHAEL WHATLEY ON FURTHER STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO PROTECT ELECTION INTEGRITY. Reigning in the Democrat tactic of finding “uncounted” (LMAO) votes several days after election day is certainly a must.

JOE SCARBOROUGH AND MIKA BRZEZINSKI CRAWL TO MAR-A-LAGO TO GET FORGIVENESS FROM TRUMP. He has more patience than I would have had with those two serial liars who compared him to Hitler on a regular basis. The man is open to conversations with almost anybody

TRUMP’S DESIRED AG PUBLICLY SHAMES DEMOCRAT NANCY PELOSI AND REPUBLICAN MITCH MCCONNELL FOR INSIDER TRADING AND OTHER SCANDALS. Call it a stunt if you like, but it’s the kind of wake-up call that America’s cesspool of political corruption NEEDS.

SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT OF AMERICAN INDIANS VOTED FOR TRUMP. His first term policies were very good for them!

THE BLACK HOLE OF CORRUPTION AT THE PENTAGON CONTINUES AS IT FAILS SEVENTH AUDIT IN A ROW. Have I mentioned what a cesspool of corruption America’s political system has been for decades? Continue reading

BATTLE OF THE JAPAN SEA (1969) MOVIE REVIEW

battle of the japan seaBATTLE OF THE JAPAN SEA (1969) – Japan’s Toshiro Mifune led the cast of this Japanese film about their successful naval clashes with Russia during the often-forgotten Russo-Japanese War (February 1904 – September 1905). U.S. servicemen stationed in Japan played the Russians.

Fans of Reilly, Ace of Spies may remember that the Japanese attack on Port Arthur in 1904 was at the core of that program’s second episode.

Other footnotes that might excite interest in this film for people who aren’t familiar with the Russo-Japanese War – President Theodore Roosevelt negotiated the peace between the two nations to end the war; one of the staff officers who accompanied Roosevelt on that venture was a young Douglas MacArthur; and Tsarist Russia’s humiliating loss in the war helped fuel the ultimately unsuccessful communist uprising in 1905.   

toshiro and othersOn to the film itself. Battle of the Japan Sea employs the approach that moviegoers will recall from The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far, Midway, even Inchon and others, by having an all-star cast (in the Far East) act out set pieces throughout the scattered fighting. Continue reading

ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS: NOV FIFTEENTH

A look at current events from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog .

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS STILL WORKING TO STEAL SENATE SEAT IN PENNSYLVANIA BY COUNTING LATE-ARRIVING, UNDATED MAIL-IN BALLOTS IN VIOLATION OF PA SUPREME COURT RULING EARLIER THIS YEAR. Bucks County Democrat official acknowledges that it’s illegal but is doing it anyway. I’m serious. More HERE. Democrat vote fraud rides again. 

THE CASEY FAMILY POLITICAL DYNASTY IN PENNSYLVANIA VIOLATING PA SUPREME COURT RULING BY COUNTING ILLEGAL BALLOTS IN ORDER TO HELP BOB CASEY RETAIN HIS SENATE SEAT. Unreal.

FEMA SCANDAL ABOUT NOT HELPING HURRICANE VICTIMS WITH TRUMP SIGNS DEEPENS. More HERE.

NELLIE BLY STARTED HER TRIP AROUND THE WORLD: NOVEMBER 14th, 1889

nellie bly aroundNELLIE BLY (Elizabeth J. Cochrane), one of the most famous reporters in history, set forth on this date in 1889 in her well-publicized attempt to make it around the world in less than the 80 days used by Jules Verne’s fictional Phileas Fogg. She was 25 years old.

The newspaper employing Nellie at the time was the New York World, with part of the value of Bly’s stunt being publicity for that paper, which heavily emphasized the word “world” in the story’s headlines.    Continue reading

NOVEMBER THIRTEENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Another look at current events from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog as we Americans wonder if President Donald Trump will make it to Inauguration Day alive and well. He’s been very open about his plans to limit the power of America’s spy agencies. The last president to do that was John F. Kennedy when he vowed to shatter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter those pieces to the winds. JFK was eliminated.

          Also, in November and December of 2016 anti-Trump fascists tried intimidating the members of the Electoral College into not casting their votes for Trump even though he won the election, even going so far as DOXING those Electors. I mention this because too many people seem to have forgotten the anti-Trump push for “Faithless Electors” 8 years ago.

FEMA SCANDAL ABOUT THE HARRIS-BIDEN REGIME TELLING HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF WORKERS NOT TO OFFER AID AT HOMES WITH TRUMP SIGNS EXPANDS. Looks like the administrator who was fired was just part of the story. These are Chicago tactics.

THE LATEST UGLY REVELATIONS ABOUT CORRUPT REPUBLICAN SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL. Even more HERE.  

CENTRAL AMERICAN NATIONS FORM REGIONAL COALITION TO WORK WITH TRUMP.

SAUDIS EXPRESS HOPE THAT TRUMP CAN COMPLETE HIS WORK OF PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

DEMOCRATS AT NBC NEWS ADMIT THAT TRUMP REALIGNED THE ENTIRE POLITICAL MAP.

POMPOUS DEMOCRAT “ACADEMIC” JUSTLY RIDICULED FOR HER ELECTION DAY VIDEO SNOBBISHLY STATING HER EXPERTISE TOLD HER KAMALA WOULD WIN. She roundly ridiculed a person she merely SUSPECTED of being a Trump voter. This person embodies what hilariously pretentious asses Democrats are. More HERE.

EVEN MORE DEMOCRAT SNOBBERY FROM “ACADEMIA” (LMAO) – “Educated people vote blue.” Keep it up, Democrats. You drive away more and more voters. 

DEMOCRAT ICON MICHAEL DOUGLAS ADMITS THAT TRUMP HAS MADE HIS PARTY THE “PARTY OF THE PEOPLE” WHILE DEMOCRATS ARE SEEN AS “ELITISTS.” Tell us something we don’t know. Continue reading

VETERANS DAY: SIX RECOMMENDED BOOKS PLUS MORE

Happy Veterans Day, formerly called Armistice Day since it marked the end of World War One on “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918. Here are six books on that often-neglected conflict. (I will omit Barbara Tuchman’s Guns of August because of how well-known it already is.) 

Hat in the Ring GangTHE HAT IN THE RING GANG: THE COMBAT HISTORY OF THE 94th AERO SQUADRON IN WORLD WAR ONE – Written by Charles Woolley, this excellent book covers America’s 94th Aero Squadron aka The Hat in the Ring Gang.

When it comes to Flying Aces of World War One the Americans in the Lafayette Escadrille get the lion’s share of the attention. That’s ironic since Eddie Rickenbacker, America’s greatest ace of the war, served in the Hat in the Ring Gang along with many other famous paladins of the skies. To buy it click HERE 

Doughboy WarDOUGHBOY WAR: THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE IN WORLD WAR I – Written/ edited by James H Hallas. I feel this book is perfect for people who are just diving into World War One and don’t want inundated with all of the overwhelming details of more involved works. Doughboy War covers every aspect of American soldiers’ experiences in the Great War, often in their own words.

Follow them from enlistment, training and crossing the Atlantic to facing action in Europe, including accounts of the ordeals faced by wounded Doughboys. To buy it click HERE    Continue reading
