JULY 2nd ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

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

AS TRUMP-BACKED LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE HEADS TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES NOW, HE CALLS FOR UNITY. “It’s everyone’s bill” he stated.   JENNINGS REMINDS BEGALA THAT IT WAS DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON WHO ADDED WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDICAID, NOT TRUMP.    SCHMITT SHOOTS DOWN DEMOCRAT LIES BY POINTING OUT THE MEDICAID CUTS ARE FOR 1.4 MILLION ILLEGALS. Anti-Trumpers are still stuck in the pre-Trump past, when Republican policies were uniformly callous regarding public benefits.

TRUMP’S BBB KEEPS HIS PROMISE TO SENIOR CITIZENS REGARDING NOT HAVING THEIR BENEFITS TAXED. Trump continues to be the new FDR.

EVEN DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET CNN ADMITS FOURTH OF JULY GAS PRICES UNDER TRUMP HAVE DROPPED TO FOUR-YEAR LOW. Now that the corrupt and unfit figurehead Joe Biden and his handlers are gone.

HELEN LEWIS OF THE DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET THE ATLANTIC ADMITS DEMOCRATS PUSH “ZOMBIE FACTS” WHICH ARE NOT TRUE BUT WHICH THE POLITICAL BUBBLES THEY LIVE IN CONVINCE THEM ARE TRUE. As a former Democrat turned Independent, I certainly agree. Uninformed Democrats STILL spout lies about President Trump and other items on a daily basis.

HARVARD CALLED OUT AGAIN FOR THEIR VIOLATIONS OF STUDENT CIVIL RIGHTS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP WELCOMES * LEGAL * IMMIGRANTS AND NATURALIZED CITIZENS “INTO OUR NATIONAL FAMILY”. Democrats still pretend they don’t understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: JUNE THIRTIETH

Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog in an America where Democrats pretend that enforcing laws they don’t like makes this an “authoritarian” administration.

PRESIDENT TRUMP BRINGS PEACE MEASURES TO DECADES-OLD AFRICAN CONFLICT. Incredible achievement. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. CNN humiliated for claiming the agreement hadn’t really been signed HERE. More HERE. Their anti-Trump hysteria sinks to new lows. 

STOCKS SOAR TO RECORD HIGH UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES. And Trump is still fighting inflation and being the best president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime.

FINALLY, THE SUPREME COURT SMACKS DOWN THE NATIONWIDE INJUNCTION OVERREACH BY PARTISAN DEMOCRAT JUDGES IN LOWER COURTS. More HERE. They simultaneously insulted Ketanji’s inane, flawed reasoning for good measure. (More HERE.) Long overdue steps.

        And though Democrats are sniveling now, the ruling will also prevent Republican judges from abusing injunctions against any future Democrat presidents, too. Anti-Trump hysteria is what fueled the Party’s grotesque judicial overreach. More HERE.

ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI SUMMARIZES ALL THE ABUSES OF INJUNCTIONS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP BY PARTISAN DISTRICT JUDGES. Those petty tyrants of the lower courts deserved to be put in their place.

GLOBAL ECONOMIST ADMITS PRESIDENT TRUMP OUTSMARTED EVERYONE WITH HIS TARIFF MANEUVERS.

DEMOCRAT MAMDANI CALLS FOR INCREASING TAXES ON WHITE PEOPLE. Racist hatemongering is in the DNA of the Democrats.

WASHINGTON POST REPORTER CHARGED FOR POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. Democrats, can you please leave children alone?

DEMOCRAT “EDUCATION” – PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENT GRADUATES “WITH HONORS” BUT CANNOT READ OR WRITE. The logical end result of decades of the Democrat war on the educational system. Continue reading

REVOLUTIONARY WAR NEGLECTED BATTLES: APRIL 1777

As the 4th of July approaches, here are some more often overlooked clashes during the Revolutionary War.

APRIL 2nd – Off the coast of Delaware the British frigates HMS Perseus and HMS Roebuck spotted the South Carolina Navy’s schooner the USS Defense, captained by Thomas Pickering. Outnumbered, the Defense fled and the British vessels pursued her from roughly 6:00am to 1:00pm.

        At that time the Roebuck and the Perseus caught up with the American ship and both of them opened fire. Ultimately, the Defense surrendered and was towed into New York Harbor by the English.

APRIL 13th – Near Bound Brook in the New Jersey No-Man’s Land, Redcoat General Charles Cornwallis and his 2,000 men caught American General Benjamin Lincoln and his 500 men by surprise. Militia units failed to warn him of the British approach. Continue reading

JUNE TWENTY-SEVENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up another current events roundup from an America where ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable anti-Trump fundamentalists still aren’t capable of calmly and rationally discussing their opposition to him. Instead, they still push their hysterical, irrational, “every week is the apocalypse” nonsense like they did during his first term.

SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS BLASTS DEMOCRATS FOR BEING RUN BY INSIDE-THE-BELTWAY CONSULTANTS WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND THE REAL WORLD

ALEX MARLOW’S NEW POLITICAL EXPOSE BREAKING THE LAW, ABOUT DEMOCRAT WARFARE AGAINST POPULIST PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, WILL BE AVAILABLE AUGUST FIFTH. Amazon link HERE

TYPICALLY COWARDLY CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICAN SENATOR THUNE SURRENDERS ON BBB. Proving once again how clueless, outdated and useless most elected Republicans continue to be. Hiding behind an unelected partisan is peak conservative gutlessness of the “Gosh, our hands are tied” kind.         

        This parliamentarian maneuver is no different than judicial overreach and undermines the voters who gave a party the Senate majority. More HERE

UNSTABLE TRUMP HATER SAYS TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY MADE HER OVEREAT, DRINK AND LEAVE THE COUNTRY. So many anti-Trumpers are emotional cripples.

KAROLINE LEAVITT SMACKS DOWN CNN ACTIVIST OVER THEIR LIES ABOUT THE IRAN STRIKES.

FLAILING JASMINE CROCKETT STILL RABID OVER VOTERS REJECTING KAMALA HARRIS. She should instead be upset that her fellow Democrats were such racists that they kept covering up how unfit Joe Biden was. If they had not done that, Kamala would have succeeded to the presidency without even having to run and would have gained instant gravitas and credibility.

CORPORATE MEDIA STILL IGNORING REPORTER CATHERINE HERRIDGE’S REVELATION THAT HER MEDIA COLLEAGUES KNEW THERE WAS INTERFERENCE IN THE 2020 ELECTION TO INSTALL JOE BIDEN. Democrats went with the obvious lie that the election was “the most secure” ever rather than just go with rational defenses. So typical.   THE ANTI-TRUMP FBI COVERED IT UP, TOO. The 2020 election was as corrupt and tainted as were those in 1876 and 2000.

CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION ADMITS THEY THINK THE PEOPLE’S CHILDREN ARE THEIR CHILDREN. Unsurprisingly, Democrats who pretend Trump presides over a “dystopia” ignored the grotesque remark. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: JUNE TWENTY-FIFTH

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

BIDEN STAFFER ADMITS THAT NO LEADER BESIDES TRUMP HAD THE RESOLVE AND STRENGTH TO MOVE AGAINST IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM. True. The typical Democrat approach would have been to wait until Iran unleashed nuclear weapons, then blame the victims for “their chickens coming home to roost.”

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN BRAD SCHNEIDER COURAGEOUSLY ADMITS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S IRAN STRIKES MADE THE WORLD SAFER AND LAY THE PATH TO EXPAND TRUMP’S ABRAHAM ACCORDS. Who knows how the notoriously violent Democrats will react to his remarks.

DEMOCRAT JASMINE CROCKETT HUMILIATED BY DEAD LAST FINISH IN COMMITTEE BID.

OIL PRICES DECLINE AGAIN.

DEMOCRAT VICE MAYOR IN CALIFORNIA REPORTEDLY UNDER INVESTIGATION OVER THEIR ENCOURAGEMENT OF GANG VIOLENCE AGAINST ICE

REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLES: MARCH 1777

As the 4th of July approaches, here’s another seasonal blog post, this one looking at often overlooked clashes during the Revolutionary War.

MARCH 8th – Another encounter during the Great Forage War. American and British troops continued foraging for supplies throughout the New Jersey No Man’s Land. Near Amboy, NJ an unknown number of U.S. forces under General William Maxwell ambushed hundreds of British-Allied Hessian troops and captured 70 Hessians in the resulting fighting.

ALSO MARCH 8th – The Battle of Punk Hill. A force of 3,000 British regulars were on the move near Bonhamton, NJ. Another unknown number of American soldiers – also under General William Maxwell – attacked the Brits at Punk Hill.

        While advance units were fighting it out, Maxwell and his counterpart General William Howe maneuvered their men to reinforce those advance units. Maxwell succeeded but American Rebels prevented the British reinforcements from reaching their comrades. Continue reading

JUNE TWENTY-THIRD ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog does another current events roundup from an America where ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable anti-Trump loons have conveniently forgotten the eight years of Barack Obama’s periodic strikes on the middle east.

*** NEW! TRUMP ANNOUNCES CEASEFIRE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN.

PRESIDENT TRUMP PRAISED FOR HIS DECISION ON THE STRIKES AGAINST CRAZED IRANIAN REGIME’S NUCLEAR SITES. Trump critic praises the president and acknowledges the strikes saved American lives HERE. Even this unhinged anti-Trumper admits this was the right call HERE.

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE JOHNSON: PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE IRAN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DEAL.    SENATE MAJORITY LEADER THUNE: IRAN REJECTED ALL DIPLOMATIC PATHWAYS.    INSIDE THE MISSION.   

DEMOCRAT PARTY

DEMOCRATS OBJECT TO THE IRAN NUKE STRIKES IN A WAY THEY WOULD NEVER OBJECT TO ANY ACTION TAKEN BY UKRAINE AGAINST RUSSIA OR BY HAMAS AGAINST ISRAEL. So predictable and so tiresome.   

SENATE INVESTIGATION PROVIDES MORE EVIDENCE OF DEMOCRATS OUTRIGHTLY LYING ABOUT JOE BIDEN’S CONDITION TO COVER UP HIS UNFITNESS. More HERE. Unaccountable figures were acting as president while a figurehead was trotted out in public. There is no bigger story right now.

ACCUSED MN ASSASSIN BOELTER’S CONFESSION LETTER CLAIMS HE KILLED TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR A SENATE RUN FOR DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR TIM WALZ.

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.

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
