COMEDIC LOOK AT THE UNHINGED ATTACKS ON TRUMP.

THE MEDIA LIES BY CLAIMING TRUMP GOT RID OF A WHITE HOUSE BUST OF MLK. They still lie about Trump on a daily basis here in 2023.

RATIONAL PEOPLE WEIGH IN ON TRUMP. Many of them are his African American supporters.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS: MARCH 30th

biden hush moneyHere at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, I can’t help but recall the way – not so long ago – America’s white-collar criminals who hold political offices were pretending that examining tax returns was the ultimate standard of testing honesty. However, when their target – Donald Trump’s – tax returns revealed no wrongdoing and proved that he had, in fact, lost money while in office, the urgency of exposed tax returns suddenly vanished, despite the fact that so many dishonest American politicians become millionaires while in office. 

biden tax returnsThe people who run the cesspool of corruption in Washington D.C. shamelessly stopped being interested in what an elected official’s tax returns can reveal, then told the country to shut up and forget about any of THEM revealing their tax returns and moved along. It’s life in Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy. At any rate, here’s a look at current events:

HEROIC JOURNALIST O’KEEFE RUNS HIS LATEST EXPOSE ABOUT DEMOCRAT MONEY LAUNDERING. More HERE. I can’t help but note, though, that this same Act Blue scandal was exposed in 2020, but the national memory seems to be incredibly short. Will something actually be DONE about it this time? 

THE BIDEN REGIME USING GROTESQUE INTIMIDATION TACTICS AGAINST ANOTHER JOURNALIST COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO INVESTIGATE ITS MISCONDUCT AND FAILURES. Impeachments have been launched over far less.

AN EXTENSIVE LOOK AT THE BIDEN REGIME’S DIPLOMATIC COLLAPSE.

ARTICLE CALLING OUT HOW BIDEN’S INCOMPETENCE HAS ENABLED CHINA AND RUSSIA TO WIELD THE INFLUENCE TRUMP USED TO WIELD IN HIS MIDDLE EAST PEACE DEALS. Remember, Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize over and over again from his Mideast Peace accomplishments. 

EVEN MORE EVIDENCE COMES OUT REGARDING 2020 VOTE FRAUD. The 2020 election was at least as corrupt and tainted as the 1876 and year 2000 elections.

“SENATOR” JOHN FETTERMAN CONTINUES TO PROVE HE’S AS UNSTABLE AND UNFIT FOR OFFICE AS HIS CAMPAIGN LAST YEAR SHOWED HIM TO BE. But mindless, unthinking political party loyalty got him into office. Continue reading →

GRACE O’MALLEY: THE PIRATE QUEEN OF IRELAND

graniaGRACE O’MALLEY (1530-1603) – Balladeer’s Blog takes a Saint Patrick’s Day look at Ireland’s notorious Grace O’Malley aka Grainne O’Malley aka Grania or Granuaile O’Malley. This woman was the head of the O’Malley faction in West Ireland and became legendary through her real and embellished career leading pirate crews against her enemies.

Grace became the O’Malley leader after the death of her father, despite this being unprecedented for a woman under the customs of the time. As Chief of the Name, Grace was the acknowledged power when it came to the O’Malley lands and seafaring ventures.

In 1565, during Clan warfare in Ireland, Grace’s husband Donal was killed in an ambush and his slayers in the Joyce Clan moved against the O’Malleys. The Joyces tried to take the island stronghold that later became called Hen’s Castle in honor of Grace O’Malley.

Though they had not expected any real resistance from a family led by a woman, Grace stunned the Joyces by out-generalling them and forcing them to retreat. Continue reading →

Up first is this reminder that for years before Joe Biden gave war criminal Vlad Putin the okay for “a minor incursion” into Ukraine, the Bidens were being investigated for their family’s corruption in Ukraine.

A PRESIDENTS DAY POST

trump group photoIn the past, Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog has posted items regarding all the presidents, all the vice presidents, overlooked secretaries of state, etc. This year I’m going with something different, because there is always something so intriguing about contemporary coverage of presidents.

Take a trip back to the election of 2016. In the immediate aftermath, the Democrats were actually beginning to do some necessary introspection over their alienation of the working class and the poor. Unfortunately, unhinged Hillary Clinton supporters derailed that in place of their ridiculous “Russian Collusion” nonsense which has been disproven over and over and over again.
