CAMILLE PAGLIA BLAMES THE DEMOCRATS FOR DESTROYING JOURNALISM WITH THEIR ANTI-TRUMP HYSTERIA

Camille PagliaProfessor Camille Paglia – another of us former Democrats (like President Trump himself) who have grown disgusted with how low that party has sunk – weighed in on the circus that the Democrats’ corporate media has reduced itself to.

Fake News was one of the topics Paglia discussed. The link is below. First some excerpts:

Paglia called what she said the Democratic Party has done to journalism “absolutely grotesque” and warned it would take decades to recover.

“It’s obscene,” she said. “It’s outrageous, OK? It shows that the Democrats are nothing now but words and fantasy and hallucination and Hollywood. There’s no journalism left. What’s happened to The New York Times? What’s happened to the major networks? It’s an outrage.”

“And I think it’s absolutely grotesque the way my party has destroyed journalism. Right now, it is going to take decades to recover from this atrocity that’s going on where the news media have turned themselves over to the most childish fraternity, kind of buffoonish behavior.”  Continue reading →

DEMOCRATS: NEW SLOGANS

democrats and poor peopleHere at Balladeer’s Blog I am STILL fascinated with so much of the political realignment going on in this country. The latest word is that some of the DemoKKKrats have at last realized that their ridiculous slogan “Resistance” just isn’t working out like they’d hoped.

They’re trying out “A Better Deal,” since long ago when Democrats actually cared about the working class they had some success with FDR’s New Deal and Truman’s  Fair Deal. (And remember, my criticism of the DemoKKKrats is in NO WAY an endorsement of the Republicans, too many of whom are like that piece of garbage Paul Ryan.)

Here are some appropriate slogans that the Democrats should consider:

DEMOCRATS: APPEALING TO THE WORST ASPECTS OF HUMAN NATURE FOR ROUGHLY TWO HUNDRED YEARS!

DEMOCRATS: WE’D RATHER SEE THOUSANDS OF YOU PEASANTS GET KILLED THAN SEE ONE SINGLE MUSLIM TERRORIST INCONVENIENCED AT AN AIRPORT!

Democrats richDEMOCRATS: BEFORE REPUBLICAN JOSEPH MCCARTHY THERE WAS DEMOCRAT MARTIN DIES!

DEMOCRATS: WE’LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU PEASANTS FOR HUMILIATING ME SO BADLY! (I understand Hillary Clinton suggested this one.)

DEMOCRATS: WE CAUSED THE DOMESTIC SPREAD OF SLAVERY, THE TRAIL OF TEARS, THE JAPANESE INTERNMENT, THE SPOILS SYSTEM AND THE KKK, THEN PASSED THE BLAME ON TO THE REST OF YOU! 

DEMOCRATS: PROTECTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE SCUM CALLED AMERICAN CITIZENS!

DEMOCRATS: REMEMBER “DON’T TRUST ANYONE OVER THIRTY?” WE’VE ADJUSTED THAT TO “DON’T TRUST ANYONE UNDER SEVENTY OR OVER TWENTY-ONE!” 

DEMOCRATS: YOU PEONS NEED TO GET USED TO THE FACT THAT THIS COUNTRY EXISTS SOLELY TO PERPETUATE PRIVILEGES FOR OUR POLITICAL PARTY! Continue reading →

SNOPES DEFENDS PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM THE NON-STOP LIES OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA

mapTrump-haters truly need professional help given the nature and scale of the bizarre lies they continue to try pushing about President Trump, our de facto Third Party President.

Snopes defended the President in an article titled, “The Lies of Donald Trump’s Critics, and How They Shape His Many Personas.”

(Map: In red are counties Trump took and in blue are counties Hillary took)

As for Snopes, here are some excerpts and the link:

 From Snopes:

What’s remarkable is the extent to which false claims about the President revolve around body language, nonverbal gestures and symbolism, all phenomena that are notoriously open to interpretation. These lies and misrepresentations are also often based on snapshots — visual evidence presented without proper context.

Take, for example, the claim that Trump was the only world leader at a G7 summit in May not to take notes, based on a photograph posted to Twitter by French President Emannuel Macron. Here Trump was portrayed as unprepared and out of his depth on the world stage, with a “ten-second attention span”.

However, the claim was entirely untrue, with other images and video of the meeting showing that Trump did indeed have notes and a pen. Not only that, but the very image used to make the false claim clearly shows two other world leaders sitting with no note-taking paraphernalia. In this case, even the cherry-picked evidence chosen to make the point undermines it.

They also debunked the Democrat claim that Trump flipped the bird to Italian PM Paolo Gentiloni:

Except that he didn’t. The original source of the claim is revealing — the Twitter account of GiveHimTheFinger.com, an anti-Trump website that encourages his opponents to send the White House postcards designed as a middle finger.

A longer video of the discussion shows that Trump and Gentiloni spoke cordially before the incident, which undermines the implicit logic behind the claim — that Trump was expressing anger or disdain for Gentiloni. Indeed, no one has ever explained why Trump supposedly flipped him the bird.

Another terrific bit here:

And then there’s Newsweek’s claim that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi “evaded” Trump’s “notorious… bone-crunching power handshake”, about which there has been a seemingly endless supply of every imaginable kind of analysis.

“In his visit to the White House Monday,” wrote Tom Porter in June,  “Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi neatly sidestepped the challenge, swooping in for two bear hugs with the president during a joint press conference in the Rose Garden.” What’s missing from this account, in a theme repeated throughout this collection, is historical context, either by deliberate omission or due to the author’s lack of awareness.

Modi, as has long been noted, is famous for hugging world leaders, a gesture he bestowed upon Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama, as well as the last two presidents of France, among others. Rather than being an example of yet another world leader “fighting back” (as the Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland has described what are essentially firm handshakes), this was an example of India’s prime minister continuing to greet another world leader in the way he always has.

MOTHER JONES: MELANIA TRUMP IS THE GREATEST FIRST LADY SINCE JACKIE KENNEDY

Melania over MichelleWith the mean-spirited slug Michelle Obama slithering back into public view this week, THE Mother Jones – Mary Harris Jones – decided to grant another posthumous interview to Balladeer’s Blog.

Balladeer’s Blog: You seem excited about something, “Mother” Jones.

Mother Jones: I am! I was admiring the way First Lady Melania Trump – who speaks more languages than both Obamas – has been dazzling the world lately!

mother-jonesBB: Now that you mention it, she HAS been, and it’s been fun watching Trump-haters froth at the mouth over it.

MJ: The people who hate the Trumps are the same wealthy pigs who hated me when I was alive. Anyway, Melania’s charismatic tour de force made me reflect on what a nice change of pace she is from that bitter, frowning sow Michelle Obama. Did you see Melania with those children in Italy? Wonderful! Michelle would have been chiding the children about “white privilege” or some such thing. Continue reading →

SHIVA AYYADURAI, INDIAN-AMERICAN, ON WHY HE VOTED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND ON HIS SENATE RUN

Shiva AyyaduraiShiva Ayyadurai, the man who is credited with inventing email among several other life-improving creations such as EchoMail, Systems Health, and CytoSolve, has announced that he is challenging Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for her seat in the 2018 elections. 

Mr Ayyadurai, like me and so many other former Democrats, has stated he grew disgusted with the Democrats as long ago as 1984 when he saw them as betrayers of the people. When he was at MIT he even started a student newspaper dedicated to exposing the corruption and failures of BOTH Democrat and Republican office-holders! Obviously he’s Balladeer’s Blog’s kind of thinker. 

And just as obviously the emotional cripples who pretend to be college students in America now would have made his newspaper refrain from criticizing any Democrats.

The link to the full item is below. First some excerpts:

“He recalled the discrimination he and his family suffered under India’s caste system, a harrowing experience he says has shaped him into who he is today.” (Note from Balladeer: And I’d love to hear his thoughts on America’s caste system of Bloated Rich Pigs and their bought and paid for Democrats and Republicans trying to lord it over the rest of us.)

“I saw Trump as a necessary force to disrupt a broken system that was no longer serving the American people,” ... “I’ve always had a deep distaste, since 1984, for both Republicans and Democrats.” He said he’d initially shown some interest in the Democratic Party, but he broke from them that year, after Jesse Jackson, like Bernie Sanders, sold out the populist movement. “Trump never sold out his movement,” he said.

“He saw Trump’s victory as ushering in real change and said Trump’s victory was “bound to occur…. You can’t get away with fooling people over and over again. The truth is what intellectual and Hollywood Elites are upset at … [It] is not Trump, but that they lost control over everyday people, who they discounted as inferior — a lower caste.”

Ayyadurai said he wants to “be of service to everyday people who are getting bamboozled and lied to by the same people who claim to be their saviors. Continue reading →

PRESIDENT TRUMP STILL SUPPORTING THE VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIME

Trump and victims familiesUnited States President Donald Trump – our de facto Third Party President – continues to fix so many of the problems caused by the disastrous Barack Obama. This pic features him with the loved ones of victims of illegal immigrant crime.

Obama or Hillary would have instead posed with the rapists and murderers who are in the U.S. illegally.

Trump-o-crats and Re-Trump-licans are enjoying the way this “Richard Channing from Falcon Crest” President constantly trolls our insane media and sticks it to the corrupt Democrats and Republicans.

Mascot with demo and repub heads

Trump-haters continue to froth at the mouth and ineffectually gnaw at the President’s ankles. They also try selling us on their biased “polls.” Uh, yeah. The same polls that claimed Hillary was going to become President. (LMFAO)

Pieces of garbage like Republican Paul Ryan and Democrat Nancy Pelosi fall all over themselves opposing President Trump, who is doing more for the working class and the poor in this country than any president since possibly Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

TRUMP-HATERS SAY “WHO CARES” TO THE VICTIMS OF OBAMACARE

Obamacare corpseOne of the most nauseating qualities of Democrats that has driven away so many of us is their hypocritical way of ignoring the victims of their own policies while shrieking in phony outrage about policies proposed by anyone else.

Watching Democrats and other Trump-Haters pretending to actually care about health care for the poor is especially laughable. For those of us who saw friends and/or loved ones suffering because of Barack Obama’s destruction of the health care system, if any of those hypocrites want to discuss what’s going on –  FIRST …

 I want to know why Democrats and other Trump-haters didn’t get as vocal about the countless numbers of people who died and suffered because of Obamacare. From the very beginning regarding Obama’s lie “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” they remained silent.

obama obamacare jokeI want to know why they refuse to address the countless suffering people who – because of Obamacare – lost plans they could afford and had to buy plans that killed their monthly budgets.

I want to know why we never heard from them about the countless people who had their yearly deductible go up so high that they might as well have been paying double or triple payments per month.

I want to know why they never shed one tear over the people whose prescriptions were not covered under their new plans, unlike the plans they “liked” – which Obama lied about them being able to keep.

Obama peace prizeI want to know if the Democrats and other Trump haters EVER feel a spontaneous, genuine human emotion or if they are only capable of this faux outrage they manufacture whenever they want to blame something on someone else.

I want to know why they feel people who suffered and died under Obamacare don’t count as much as people who might face similar situations under other healthcare plans that are being worked on. Continue reading →

MUSLIM RAMADAN MURDER-PALOOZA 2017: FINAL BODY COUNT

Islam no democracy just IslamWho can say how many of us will be killed by Muslim fascists between now and next Ramadan? Whether it’s us or some of our loved ones who die one thing remains certain: before our/their dead bodies have a chance to cool the gutless apologists for Islam will be defending our/their killers.

And those same political robots will badger and harass those who mourn us to try to browbeat them into never using the words “Islam” or “Muslim” when referring to the murderous animals responsible.

But Ramadan 2017 ended a few days ago, so here’s our final body count:

PEOPLE KILLED IN TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE NAME OF ALL OTHER RELIGIONS DURING RAMADAN 2017: 0 … ZERO … NONE.

PEOPLE KILLED IN TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE NAME OF ISLAM DURING RAMADAN 2017: ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED NINETY-FIVE PLUS OVER ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SIXTY INJURED. 

June 23rd: Tal Adda, Pakistan – Even in Muslim nations Muslim fascists kill other Muslims for not worshipping the exact same way they do. So if you think converting to Islam will save you, forget it! On this date Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the local affiliate of the Global Muslim Fascist Murder Machine, used bombs to kill SIXTY-SEVEN innocent people and injure TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE more.   Continue reading →

ANDREA CHENIER: AN OPERA FOR OUR TIME

Andrea ChenierOver the past decade or so I’ve grown fonder and fonder of Umberto Giordano’s 1896 opera Andrea Chenier. Like many Americans I used to consider myself a Liberal before Liberalism became as oppressive, totalitarian and intellectually suffocating as Christian Conservatism had always been. I’ve never gone as far as people like Roger Simon, David Horowitz and others who went overboard the other way and became Conservatives but I definitely despise the cowardly hypocrites and mindless conformists called American Liberals.

Andrea Chenier, the title figure of Giordano’s opera, was a poet who happily embraced the French Revolution at the outset but later grew appalled at the excesses of the Reign of Terror. He courageously wrote condemnations of the Jacobins, whom he felt distorted the original aims of the Revolution and turned it into a vehicle for their own personal abuse of power.

Andrea Chenier 2Chenier paid the price for his courage and for speaking his conscience. He was guillotined a few days before the mass executions ended. The demented zealots of the American Left have likewise gone too far and similarly turn on former allies over the slightest departure from dogma. Giordano’s opera is not entirely about such themes but I find myself going back to it at least once a year in these times because of how much the message still resonates.  

American Liberals have become nothing but fascists who disregard other people’s civil rights and ignore the rule of law. They favor censorship on a massive scale, the rewriting of history to suit their political fetishes of the moment and the blacklisting of anyone who opposes them. Worst of all are many fools from the 1960s generation of Liberals. They are far too spineless to confront the real issues so they endlessly restage old battles against wrongs that were addressed long ago. And all the while they pretend they’re the Young Turks in town, pushing daring new ideas even though all they do is regurgitate the conventional wisdom from five decades ago. Continue reading →

TRUMP GOES 4-0 IN THE SPECIAL ELECTIONS

Jon Ossoff lossAnd the laughs keep coming here as the white-collar criminals of America’s 3rd World level cesspool of corruption  suffered ANOTHER defeat this week. Those bought and paid-for crooks had made yet another Special Election – this one in Georgia – all about our de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. 

The Trump-haters STILL cannot get over Hillary’s humiliating loss to the Donald last November. For the fourth time they poured literally MILLIONS into the Georgia race, tying the Republican candidate Karen Handel to President Trump and trying to outrightly buy the election.

Shallow celebrities made their usual “Trump is the AntiChrist” ads for the Democrat, who, typical of that Party of the Rich, DIDN’T EVEN REALLY LIVE IN THE DISTRICT! The corporate media’s rigged polls AGAIN predicted a win for the anti-Trump candidate only to be wrong, wrong, wrong.

That same corporate media has been very quiet about the way the Democrats lost all four races because the Trump candidates all won. If even ONE of the Trump-Hating candidates had won you can bet the media would be trumpeting it every hour of the day, claiming it showed that Trump was mere moments away from destruction.
