Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some recent news stories about the white-collar criminals who run the cesspool of corruption which masquerades as our government. (Links in the text.)
SENILE AND CORRUPT JOE BIDEN DOES ALL BUT SLOBBER ALL OVER HIMSELF AT G7 SUMMIT. Doddering figurehead continues to beclown himself, but America’s corrupt politicians are glad to have “graft as usual” back in fashion.
CHINA BREAKING LIMBS AND USING GENITAL TORTURE ON UYGHURS – BIDEN AND NBA ARE OKAY WITH IT. “Silence is consent” Democrats tell us.
WANDERING, CONFUSED JOE BIDEN HAS TO BE RESCUED YET AGAIN BY HIS WIFE JILL. Biden the Buffoon humiliated again.
WASHINGTON POST CALLS OUT JOE BIDEN’S LIE ABOUT ALZHEIMERS. And the Biden lie count keeps going up.
BIDEN REGIME CONTINUES ITS WAR ON THE WORKING CLASS AND THE POOR. The callous, the comfortable and the uncaring Democrats are fine with it.
EVEN THE WASHINGTON POST ADMITS BIDEN IS BRUTAL TO THE PRESS. But Big Tech is glad to censor news stories which put Biden in a bad light.
Corrupt, senile, tiny-handed Joe Biden
LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON: HUNTER BIDEN, THE UNDERBOSS OF THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY, PROVES JUST AS RACIST AS HIS FATHER JOE. The racial slur count for the Bidens continues to soar.
KAMALA HARRIS GETS UGLY WITH THE PRESS AGAIN. Hypocrites pretend it’s okay to be testy with reporters if you have a “D” after your name.
HUNTER BIDEN, UNDERBOSS OF THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY, PIONEERS NEW SCAM – BRIBING THE BIDENS BY PAYING SIX FIGURE SUMS FOR HIS “ART.” Remember how “donations” to the Clinton Foundation were Hillary’s Pay For Play graft?
VIDEO OF ACCUSED RAPIST JOE BIDEN SCREWING UP AGAIN AT THE G7 MEETING. Other world leaders happy to be back to a U.S. figure they can buy, bribe and bully.
FASCIST BIDEN REGIME STILL HAS KIDS IN CAGES AND STILL HAS FAMILIES SEPARATED. But as we all know, Democrats never really cared about those kids or those families. They just used them as political tools.
MEDIA FORCED TO ADMIT OVER AND OVER THAT TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT WHAT THEY CLAIMED WERE “LIES.” Your best bet: if it was called a Trump Lie, it was probably just an Inconvenient Truth for anti-Trump loons.

With the Fourth of July holiday rapidly approaching here is another seasonal post. Previously, Balladeer’s Blog has looked at the 
SEPTEMBER 1st-5th – The American privateer ship the Active seized multiple prizes and took aboard several British Prisoners of War. Unfortunately, the Captain of the Active had stretched his crew too thin. The captive Brits gleaned the vulnerable position of their captors and rose up to seize control of the ship and were determined to link up with the first British vessel they could find to help take in the seized U.S. ship and consummate their freedom. 
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. 
Independent voter site Balladeer’s Blog notes ONCE AGAIN that the Democrats’ media outlets have humiliated themselves because of their reflexive, irrational need to wrongly label information “lies” just because that information came from de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. Last year the very valid statement that there was some evidence linking Covid-19 to a Wuhan Laboratory was hysterically condemned as a “lie” by Democrats in the media and Big Tech Fascists at Twitter, Facebook, etc rushed to censor that information. (links below) 
Now, the CDC and even the Democrats at the New York Times, Washington Post and elsewhere are admitting they were wrong AGAIN, with some of them hilariously blaming Trump for their mistakes. Actually, the corporate media’s well-known biases are to blame, as usual. This has happened over and over to the point that it’s becoming a truism to say that there may be nothing truer than something that was labeled a “Trump lie.” 
In addition to 
WITH THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION IN SYRIA (1928) – Written by a British former member of the French Foreign Legion using the alias John Harvey. Previously, Balladeer’s Blog examined the excellent 1895 short story collection titled 
John Harvey’s With The French Foreign Legion In Syria instead wallows in the tawdry and brutal side of the Legion. Instead of James O’Neill’s poetic, astonishingly prescient tales, this volume presents an ugly and sensationalistic take on the FFL. It would have stood in stark contrast to stories romanticizing the Legion as written by P.C. Wren and others. No movies of the time would have touched these violent, vulgar Peckinpah-style antics. Get ready for a look at some Legionnaires who would make The Wild Bunch look genteel. 
Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at several buried treasures which legends maintain may still be out there for the finding. 
Overseas readers have been asking me about the Liz Cheney situation in Congress. Since Balladeer’s Blog is an Independent Voter site I’ve always made it clear I would be fine if both the Democrats and Republicans splintered into multiple smaller parties because neither one represents the needs of their constituents at this time. That’s why people know they will get a response from me that is NOT motivated by political party bias.
And remember, even if you hate Donald Trump, another reason the Cheney-Bush Warmongers opposed him is because HE KEPT THE U.S. OUT OF ANY NEW WARS. Even the most anti-Trump media outlets in the U.S. are often willing to concede that point. AND SINCE THE CHENEY-BUSH WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WANTS ALL-WAR, ALL THE TIME, WITH VAGUE OBJECTIVES THAT THEY CAN ALWAYS CLAIM HAVEN’T BEEN MET YET, THAT IS WHY LIZ CHENEY AND HER ILK BASH TRUMP. If you back her, you’re backing open-ended warfare, among other things. 
*** John McCain, the racist Republican warmonger who did more than anyone else to try to stop America from having its first African-American president, was, of course, LATER treated like a statesman by the Democrats’ media outlets because he feuded with Trump. Hell, if you have a short memory or were too young to have noticed it, John McCain was, once upon a time being likened to Hitler, etc. For just one small (and light-hearted) example, you can still see Family Guy reruns like the one depicting the time-traveling Stewie and Brian encountering Nazis in the World War Two era wearing John McCain buttons. (The cartoon dates from around when McCain and Sarah Palin were running for president and vice president in real life.) 
Balladeer’s Blog’s recurring feature Forgotten Television goes way back this time around with a look at the state of the new broadcasting technology in 1940. Great Britain and the Soviet Union had been making as many, if not more, milestone achievements in tv programming through 1939. However, World War Two brought an end to BBC television broadcasting at 12:35PM on September 1st of that year. The Mickey Mouse cartoon Mickey’s Gala Premier was the last item broadcast via television in the U.K. until 1946, when the BBC resumed programming with that very same cartoon. 
JANUARY – The FCC holds hearings on potentially licensing television broadcasting. It will not finalize its actions until April 30th of 1941, but in the meantime stations around the country continue pioneering tv programming.
