FEBRUARY 2022: LOOKING BACK

FOR PART ONE (2016) OF THIS RETROSPECTIVE FROM INDEPENDENT VOTER SITE BALLADEER’S BLOG CLICK HERE.

ukraine flagPOLL: SIXTY-TWO PERCENT OF VOTERS SAY PUTIN WOULD NOT HAVE INVADED UKRAINE IF TRUMP WAS STILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE. And that was in February of 2022. The number may be much higher now.

DEMOCRATS IN VERMONT FOLLOW NEW YORK’S LEAD IN OPENING UP VOTING TO FOREIGN NATIONALS. Coming soon to a location near you if Democrats get their way.

Weird little man

JOE BIDEN’S INFLATION STILL DRIVING RENTS SKY-HIGH. The Biden Regime’s war on the poor and the working class continues.

DEMOCRATS WHO RUN SCHOOL DISTRICT ALLOW MALES WHO GO BY “NON-MALE PRONOUNS” TO SLEEP IN FIFTH GRADE GIRLS’ CABINS ON THREE DAY TRIP. What is it with Democrats and children? Very creepy.

BIDEN’S POLICIES DRIVING BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT LEVELS HIGHER AND HIGHER. Under his predecessor’s policies black unemployment was at a record low.

COURTS CONTINUE INVALIDATING THE DEMOCRATS’ CHANGES TO VOTING PROCEDURES WHICH ENABLED THEIR “CHEAT BY MAIL” AND OTHER SCAMS IN 2020. More HERE.

AND ANOTHER COURT RULES THAT THE CHEAT BY MAIL CHANGES MADE IN 2020 WERE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. And even more have ruled the same way since February of 2022. But Democrats knew the court cases would take until long after the election was over. Continue reading

JUNE TWENTIETH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

From the land of career criminal Joe “not competent to stand trial” Biden, it’s time for another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.

allison hOBAMA’S ALLISON HUYNH SWITCHES TO SUPPORTING TRUMP AND PRAISES HIS POLICIES OVER THE DISASTROUS POLICIES OF THE DEMOCRATS’ BIDEN REGIME. Some excerpts:

“He (Trump) was light and funny and intelligent.”“I was happy with how knowledgeable Trump is about what is going on with the country and the economy,” she continued. “He had the information. He is all there with the things that matter” 

        “I am all for hardworking immigrants, but not for open admission of immigrants. We have to differentiate between legal immigrants who come here and work hard and illegal immigrants who come here and commit crimes,” she said.

cori bushDEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN CORI BUSH MAKES THE DERANGED CLAIM THAT GOD GAVE HER POWERS TO CURE CANCER AND TREAT TUMORS THROUGH MIRACLES. And yes, this REALLY happened. Had a member of the opposition party made this remark the story would rightfully be everywhere and would be brought up in every subsequent news story about them because the Democrats understand how to use their media outlets. The Republicans are so inept with their own media outlets that this incident will be all but forgotten soon.

BIDEN REGIME’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL (PER THE SUPREME COURT) ELIMINATION OF STUDENT LOAN DEBT FOR SELECT DEMOCRATS PRODUCES ANOTHER APPALLING REPORT. Biden still ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision. Impeachments have been launched over far less. Continue reading

TRADER HORN (1927): PART FIVE

Balladeer’s Blog continues reviewing the 1927 book Trader Horn, the quasi-autobiographical account of the British Trade Agent Alfred Aloysius Horn’s adventures in Africa during the late 1800s. For Part One click HERE.

trader horn cover againPART FIVE – Horn recounted an incredible event he attended in Angola, which was not yet the name of the country, just a populated region. He and his subordinate Trade Agents were guests at a conjo – a performance of traveling entertainers called the Akowas.

Alfred praised the precision routines of the acrobats, sword-dancers, trick shooters and their colleagues. The Akowas displayed excellent stagecraft and made Horn and his men gasp in awe as the performers pretended to shoot each other through with arrows, complete with seeming penetration, only for the finale to present all of them getting up just fine for the audience to see.   

The next day, Trader Horn and his aides were making contracts with the tribe for the trade in wood, large canoes, dried fish and farina. One of Alfred’s indigenous employees was a son of a Camma chief and engaged him in further conversation about the Izoga – the Holy Person hidden from common view several villages back.    Continue reading

2024 JUNETEENTH – MARKING THE DAY DEMOCRATS LOST THEIR SLAVES

democrats kkkIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog wishes you a happy Juneteenth, marking the day Democrats lost their slaves. (Democrats owned slaves, not Republicans.) 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.

That political party, which I’m ashamed to say I used to belong to years ago, even distorts the Juneteenth holiday. They try fundamentally transforming it into a day when Democrats – the only extant political party which supported slavery and even fought a Civil War over it – can act like they are above reproach while THE REST OF THE COUNTRY shares a guilt The Party pretends to be free from. 

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. (If this post upsets you, tell the Democrats to stop politicizing Juneteenth by pretending they had nothing to do with slavery, or the Ku Klux Klan, or Jim Crow, etc.) Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: JUNE 3rd

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

outlaw heroTHE “OUTLAW FOLK HERO” MEMES FOR TRUMP ARE IN FLIGHT! His enemies have made him an immortal symbol of resistance to their form of oppression and corruption.

* AND NEVER FORGET THAT THE ONLY REASON JOE BIDEN IS NOT A CONVICTED FELON IS BECAUSE HE’S BEEN DECLARED MENTALLY UNFIT TO STAND TRIAL FOR HIS CRIMES. *

biden tax returns(Oh, and never forget that anti-Trump fascists acted like forcing Trump to release years of his tax returns was so important, yet the returns revealed he had done nothing wrong. Our corrupt elected officials then declined to have any other politicians reveal several years of their tax returns. It has only – and ever – been about “getting” the outsider Trump.) 

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN LEAVES THE INCREASINGLY FASCISTIC DEMOCRAT PARTY TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT. As a former Democrat who made that move long ago I’d say it’s about time Manchin joined the many, many other Democrat officeholders who have left that political party in recent years.

MORE REMINDERS OF HISTORICAL HEROES WHO WERE “CONVICTED FELONS” (LMAO) LIKE TRUMP, WALESA, MANDELA, GANDHI, ETC. Plus remember JFK, who was killed by many of the same forces opposing the populist Trump.

VILLON CHAPTER LINKS

a stranger in villonHere is my usual post-completion collection of chapter links, in this case for The Villon Legend.

PART ONE – Francois Villon, poet and outlaw, is born in 1431 into a nearly post-apocalyptic France in the wake of the Hundred Years War and the Plague. He grows up idolizing and defending the memory of the controversial Joan of Arc, who was not made a saint until 1920.

           Villon begins writing irreverent poems in his teens and through his years getting a Master’s Degree at the Sorbonne.

           After that, he falls into a career as a thief in Paris while still churning out poetry. CLICK HERE.
