2023 JUNETEENTH – MARKING THE DAY DEMOCRATS LOST THEIR SLAVES

Democrats KKKIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog wishes you a happy Juneteenth, commemorating the day Democrats lost their slaves. (Only Democrats owned 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 . Continue reading

HAPPY BLOOM’S DAY 2023!

jamesjoyceYes, 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 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. Continue reading

TRANSGRESS WITH ME: JANUARY 29th. Are you brave enough for this?

g men mock cover“THE PARTY’S” ATROCITY ROUNDUP. Back in 2018 the FBI’s fake Russian Collusion nonsense had already been exposed. Plus vote fraud and more.

BLOCKBUSTER DEVELOPMENTS. A CBS poll showed President Trump’s support among African-American voters more than doubling since he took office. And in the election of 2016 he got more of the African-American vote than any Republican in decades. All that and more.

ONE MAN ALONE AGAINST BOTH CORRUPT POLITICAL PARTIES. Republican trash like Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Chris Christie and all the stuffy white males at National Review continue proving President Trump’s status as a de facto Third Party President. Continue reading

AMERICAN REVOLUTION: JANUARY 8th to 28th, 1776

With the July 4th holiday fast approaching, Balladeer’s Blog offers readers another seasonal post regarding overlooked military actions.

america rebelsJANUARY 8th, 1776 – In Charlestown, Massachusetts, British troops and American Tories were attending a performance of General John Burgoyne’s play The Blockade of Boston. The play was a farce ridiculing the supposed inadequacies of the American rebels. An unknown number of American soldiers carried out a raid on the town, panicking the theater audience, capturing 5 British soldiers and destroying 8 Tory buildings.

JANUARY 12th – At Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, the HMS Glasgow and HMS Sloop Swan landed 250 British soldiers and Marines. The Brits clashed with approximately 50 American men of Richmond’s Regiment and forced them to retreat. Throughout the night the Redcoats pillaged supplies, stole livestock away to the two ships and burned down homes and barns.

JANUARY 13th – After daybreak, Captain William Barton led 60 men from Richmond’s Regiment in an attack on the British. Gunfire was exchanged for over 3 hours, with several men from other Rhode Island units crossing the bay to reinforce their fellow rebels. Ultimately, the Brits were forced to end their pillaging and burning and to retreat to the two warships, having suffered at least 14 dead and an unknown number of injured. Continue reading

THE TIRED REFRAIN OF ANTI-TRUMP FASCISTS

biden bribery scandalHere at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I’ve written about the rival gangs of white-collar criminals called Democrats and Republicans since long before de facto Third-Party President Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015.

Since then, the mere existence of a viable candidate who was NOT a made member of the criminal cabals called the Democrat and Republican parties has fueled hysterical anti-Trump panic from the two major parties and their media outlets.

biden tax returnsWhether you like or hate Donald Trump is irrelevant – it became clear long ago that the cesspool of corruption which masquerades as America’s political system is targeting Trump to make a public example of any non-career politician who dares to oppose the establishment.

So, we once again see the corporate fascist Biden regime hurling another meaningless, unfounded indictment against Donald Trump, this time on the same day that the latest evidence of the Joe Biden bribery scandal was produced. Not exactly subtle.

marinus willettTHE SIXTH OF JUNE – Many sites are marking the larger event of the D-Day Invasion during World War Two on this date, but in keeping with Balladeer’s Blog’s theme of neglected and obscure items I’ll take a look at a forgotten action from America’s Revolutionary War. With the 4th of July less than a month away, similar seasonal posts will follow in the weeks ahead.

This action involved fighting between New York City’s Sons of Liberty and British forces in the area. Continue reading

JUNE FOURTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some of the latest news, memes and political cartoons. 

biden criminal enterpriseGAL LUFT, THE COURAGEOUS WITNESS IN THE BIDEN BRIBERY PROBE, SPEAKS OUT FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION OVER CONCERNS FOR THEIR SAFETY. Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy gives even the term “Banana Republic” a bad name.

THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES JOIN THE FBI AS AN ARM OF THE BIDEN REGIME REFUSING TO HAND OVER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS REGARDING JOE BIDEN’S INVOLVEMENT IN UNDERBOSS HUNTER BIDEN’S CORRUPTION.

john boyd jrPRESIDENT OF NATIONAL BLACK FARMERS ASSOCIATION BLASTS BIDEN REGIME’S FUNDING OF CHINA’S PURCHASES OF AMERICAN FARMLAND. Buying Joe Biden was the best investment that China’s government ever made.

BIDEN REGIME’S POLITICIZED DOJ TARGETING FAMILY MEMBERS OF A COURAGEOUS REGIME OPPONENT IN WEST VIRGINIA. You may recall that the Democrats needlessly subjected Trump to two impeachment proceedings knowing both times that they did not have the votes for a guilty verdict in the Senate. Democrats – always superior to Republicans at political maneuvering – understand that “the process is the punishment”, but Republicans are the party of gutless inaction. We need a viable opposition party.

AND YET ANOTHER EXAMINATION OF THE CORRUPTION IN THE BIDEN REGIME’S DOJ. So much white-collar crime among America’s political class, yet one lone outsider and NON-career politician is the only figure our joke of a system goes after. Repeatedly.

CONGRESS STILL DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY OVER THE FBI’S GROUNDLESS WAR ON TRUMP

The various “Cheat by Mail” scandals are what most people are talking about when it comes to the fraudulent election, but the corporate media focuses entirely on the easily-muddled claims of computerized cheating to distract from these damning scandals.
