NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: JUNE TWENTIETH

Here’s another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

THE LATEST DEMOCRAT RIOTS, THIS TIME IN PORTLAND, TARGET FEDERAL WORKERS WITH EXPLOSIVES AND MORE. Fascists are gonna fascist. DEMOCRATS CONTINUE STOKING THE VIOLENCE.

SEATTLE’S DEMOCRAT CHIEF OF POLICE PROMISES TO DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO HELP ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS ELUDE ICE. I will ask the Democrats again – given your irrational claims that we live in a “dystopia” under Trump, aren’t there any suffering CITIZENS you would be willing to champion? “Illegal immigrants uber alles” remains the Democrat motto.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN ANNA PAULINA BRAVELY HELPS LEAD THE EFFORT TO SUBPOENA INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL AND PRIVILEGED WHITE ONE PERCENTER GEORGE SOROS.

APPEALS COURT RULES IN TRUMP’S FAVOR ON CA NATIONAL GUARD CASE.

JUNE EIGHTEENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog offers up another current events roundup from an America where anti-Trump loons pretend to not like kings but are okay with all the faceless kings who used Joe Biden as a prop and a figurehead to sneak through their own agendas. And never forget how the Democrats and their media outlets spent years covering up Joe Biden’s unfitness and calling people “conspiracy theorists” for telling the truth about Biden.

POPULIST PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES HAVE BROUGHT ON THE LARGEST INCREASE IN BLUE-COLLAR WORKING-CLASS WAGES IN SIXTY YEARS. Trump, the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime, continues his successful policies from his first term.

        Meanwhile, Democrats go around fatally shooting their own party members for voting with Republicans in the Minnesota legislature.

BERNIE SANDERS REGAINS A LITTLE OF THE INTEGRITY HE THREW AWAY. DEMANDS THAT THE DEMOCRATS BAN BILLIONAIRE-RUN SUPER-PACS FROM THEIR PRIMARIES IN 2028. Bernie obviously remembers how the DNC rigged their primaries against him in 2016 and against Tulsi Gabbard in 2020.

THE DEMOCRATS’ BELOVED G-7 ISSUES A JOINT STATEMENT SAYING “IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON” AND ACKNOWLEDGING ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF. Following in President Trump’s wake as the leader of the free world.

EXPLOSIVE NEW REVELATIONS ABOUT VOTE FRAUD IN 2020 THROUGH THE INHERENTLY CORRUPT “CHEAT BY MAIL” CON INCLUDE EVIDENCE THAT THE INFORMATION WAS COVERED UP. The 2020 election was as tainted and corrupt as the 1876 and 2000 election results were.

EXPOSING THE ADDITIONAL MONEY FUNNELED TO THE “JUSTICES” OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. Ketanji Jackson leads the sleazy pack with her two-million-dollar “advance” from PRH. Time for Americans to grow up and stop pretending that the SCOTUS isn’t as corrupt as the rest of our political establishment.

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

HAPPY BLOOM’S DAY 2025

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

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOON ROUNDUP: JUNE SIXTEENTH

I’ll be making my Bloom’s Day post later today. Right now it’s another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

THE DEMOCRAT “NO KINGS” MURDERER ON THE LOOSE AFTER THEIR POLITICAL KILLINGS HAS BEEN APPREHENDED. WAS AN APPOINTEE OF MINNESOTA’S DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR TIM WALZ. The suspect allegedly killed their victims for being Democrats who voted with Republicans in the state legislature last week. Killer’s manifesto found.

EX-ILLINOIS HOUSE SPEAKER, DEMOCRAT MICHAEL MADIGAN, SENTENCED TO SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS IN PRISON ON CORRUPTION CHARGES. Have I mentioned lately that 21st Century Democrats are a combination of the Mafia and Nazis?

BRUNER REVEALS THE MONEY BEHIND THE DEMOCRATS’ LATEST RIOTS IS BEING PROVIDED BY THE PARTY’S BILLIONAIRES, INCLUDING BILL GATES, GEORGE SOROS, REID HOFFMAN, MARK ZUCKERBERG AND HANSJORG WYSS

TIK TOKER REVEALS THAT PRO-VIOLENCE FORCES HAVE BEEN PAYING INFLUENCERS TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY TO POST IN SUPPORT OF THE RIOTS. No surprise. Democrats are known for astroturf, not grass-roots movements.

STEPHEN A. SMITH BRAVELY CALLS OUT DEMOCRAT ALEX PADILLA FOR HIS MANIACAL BEHAVIOR AT DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM’S PRESSER LAST WEEK.

MAN ARRESTED FOR SUPPLYING EQUIPMENT TO THE LATEST DEMOCRAT RIOTERS IN LOS ANGELES IS A MEMBER OF THE FASCISTIC, RACIST HATE GROUP THE BROWN BERETS.

UNLIKELY SOURCE LAYS BARE THE LIES ABOUT THE ONGOING SITUATION IN CALIFORNIA.

STEPHEN KING, LOOKING NOTHING AT ALL LIKE A CREEP WHO HANGS AROUND PLAYGROUNDS, SAYS HE WANTS WOMEN IN CHARGE OF NUCLEAR NATIONS. As I’ve done in the past when imbeciles like King say this sort of thing, I will point out that WHAT STEPHEN KING REALLY MEANS IS THAT HE WANTS ONLY WOMEN WHO AGREE WITH HIS POLITICAL OPINIONS TO RUN NUCLEAR NATIONS. Does anyone really think the sexist King wants Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Pam Bondi, Lauren Boebert, etc? Continue reading

DEMOCRAT SENATOR PADILLA EJECTED OVER HIS VIOLENT ATTEMPT TO ATTACK DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM. Padilla’s misogynistic lies exposed HERE. More HERE. And HERE

DEMOCRAT NEA HEAD BECKY PRINGLE ENCOURAGES THE BURNING AND LOOTING RIOTERS AND TOLD THEMAnd I need you to make a commitment that when we send out the call, whoever it’s for … that you will answer that call like you did today.” In other words, be ready to riot again at The Party’s command. 

DEMOCRATS STOOP TO DELUSIONAL LEVELS TO DEFEND THEIR RIOTING, BURNING, LOOTING AND KILLING MOBS. The Democrats are still the combined Mafia and Nazi Party of the 21st Century. More HERE.

PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES CONTINUE LOWERING GAS PRICES EVEN MORE THAN EXPECTED. He was and is the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.

TRUMP’S TARIFFS STILL DELIVERING ON CPI AND THE LOWEST INFLATION RATE SINCE EARLY 2021. The Biden Regime destroyed the economy, Trump is once again saving it. More HERE.

JUNE NINTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

LOS ANGELES POLICE CHIEF STATES THE DEMOCRAT VIOLENCE IS ESCALATING, DESPITE DEMOCRATS  SCHIFF, BASS AND GOVERNOR NEWSOM’S CLAIMS OTHERWISE. But hey, Schiff, Bass and Newsom don’t care about the safety of the people, they care only about “owning” Trump by demanding he call off the National Guard to handle the riots. Can Democrats make ANY decisions not based on their monomaniacal hatred of one man?

DEMOCRAT CITY COUNCIL MEMBER IN LOS ANGELES ENCOURAGES RIOTERS TO ESCALATE THEIR ATTACKS. No surprise. The office-holders who still call themselves Democrats in 2025 are not rational.

SBA ADMINISTRATOR SAYS THEY ARE MOVING THEIR REGIONAL OFFICE OUT OF LOS ANGELES SINCE THE CITY “WON’T PROTECT ITS PEOPLE” BY COOPERATING WITH ICE. Democrats in office are indefensible at this point. 

KARINA LIPSMAN: CANDIDATE IN THE SPECIAL ELECTION IN VIRGINIA’S ELEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

PAKISTANI DELEGATION SAYS “TRUMP IS NOT BEING CELEBRATED ENOUGH” FOR THE CEASEFIRE WITH INDIA.

POLL: SEVENTY-FOUR PERCENT OF CALIFORNIANS WANT TO END SANCTUARY CITIES. But Democrats never care what the voters want despite their endless bluster about “defending democracy.”

ANCHORMAN AT DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET IN LOS ANGELES ACTUALLY REFERS TO THE RIOTERS AS “HAVING FUN” AND WARNS ABOUT AUTHORITIES COMING IN “THE WRONG WAY.” And an idiotic British news outlet claims Trump is “bullying” the violent rioters.  

NEW GAZA AID HEAD PRAISES TRUMP’S HUMANITARIAN BREAKTHROUGH THERE. Yes, making sure the people receive the aid and not letting it be hijacked by Hamas is an improvement. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: JUNE SEVENTH

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog offers up another current events roundup.

DEMOCRATS RIOT IN LOS ANGELES IN VIOLENT ATTEMPTS TO INTERFERE WITH ICE ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS. Democrat mob even besieges federal center HERE. More HERE. And HERE.   I WILL ASK DEMOCRATS ONCE AGAIN – GIVEN HOW YOU CLAIM WE LIVE IN A DYSTOPIAN HELLSCAPE UNDER TRUMP, ARE THERE ANY SUFFERING U.S. CITIZENS YOU WOULD CHAMPION INSTEAD OF ONLY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE COMMITTED ADDITIONAL CRIMES?

DEMOCRATS CALLED OUT AGAIN AS “THE PARTY THAT EMBRACES VIOLENCE.”

AS USUAL, THE DEMOCRATS GET VIOLENT IN LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK, WHERE THEY KNOW THEY’LL GET SOFT TREATMENT FROM THE DEMOCRAT AUTHORITIES. The usual gutlessness from the Party. San Francisco, Boston, San Antonio, Seattle and Portland are probably up next.

DEMOCRAT PARTY

DEMOCRATS UNWILLING TO SIDE WITH THE U.S. EVEN IN THE CHINESE NATIONALS SMUGGLING IN BIOWARFARE AGENTS CASE. But if their actions had endangered Hamas you’d certainly hear Democrats speak out.

ARIZONA’S DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR KATIE HOBBS VETOES A BILL BLOCKING ENTITIES CONNECTED WITH CHINA’S COMMUNIST PARTY FROM BUYING FARMLAND, LAND NEAR AMERICAN FARMS, MILITARY BASES, ETC. The bill was introduced long ago to deal with growing concerns about such purchases, even before the recent biowarfare incident.

OBAMA’S OWN DOCTOR CALLS OUT JOE BIDEN’S WHITE HOUSE PHYSICIAN FOR HIS ROLE IN THE COVERUP OF BIDEN’S UNFITNESS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP VOWS YET AGAIN TO PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. He’s the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. He’s been the new FDR going back to his first term. 

UNSTABLE ELON MUSK ALREADY BACKING OFF HIS WILD ATTACKS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP. The bizarre incidents seem to have been triggered by Musk not getting his way on policies that would have favored his personal business interests. Elon has blown his credibility with his unhinged threats and tantrums. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. Continue reading

D-DAY AND OTHER JUNE SIXTHS IN HISTORY

As we all observe the June 6th anniversary of the 1944 Allied landing at Normandy during World War II, Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the events from other June 6ths in history.

1775 – In New York City, 100 Sons of Liberty rebels attacked British soldiers who were escorting five wagonloads of arms and other supplies. The Sons of Liberty won and seized the supplies. Lt. Col Marinus Willett led the Americans.

1780 – Hessian General Wilhelm Von Knyphausen’s 6,000 British-allied troops boarded boats in preparation for the next day’s attack on American forces in New Jersey for the indecisive Battle of Connecticut Farms.

1782 – In the Ohio Country, American Rebel Colonel William Crawford’s 500 men were defeated in the wilderness by 750 British, Shawnee, Ojibwe and Potawatomi troops as the Revolutionary War continued despite Cornwallis’ surrender the previous October.  

1787 – Franklin College, now part of Franklin & Marshall College, was founded in Lancaster, PA.

1813 – As the War of 1812 continued, British forces learned the password for the American troops at Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada. That password, “Wil-Hen-Har”, as in the name of General (and later President) William Henry Harrison, enabled the British to take the Americans by surprise and win the battle in a rout.

1816 – The eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Tambora volcano earlier in the year spread so much ash and smoke into the atmosphere that this became known as “the year without a summer.” On June 6th, TEN INCHES OF SNOW fell in New England. Continue reading

KENTUCKY STATE SENATOR ROBIN WEBB BECOMES THE LATEST DEMOCRAT TO LEAVE THAT PARTY TO JOIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Like so many of us former Democrats she cited how the increasingly unhinged Democrats “increasingly alienated rural Democrats like her.” She also cited the Democrats’ “hyperfocus on policies that hurt workforce and economic development” and added that “It has become untenable and counterproductive to the best interests of my constituents for me to remain a Democrat.”  

SENATOR MARSHA BLACKBURN CALLS FOR DOJ INVESTIGATION INTO NASHVILLE MAYOR FREDDIE O’CONNELL FOR DOXING ICE AGENTS AND ATTEMPTING TO BLOCK THEIR ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LAWS. Democrat crimes in support of illegal immigration have exploded into an epidemic.
