FROM September 7th, 2020: 

Civil Rights Icon Clarence Henderson added his voice to those of other Martin Luther King People of Courage in praising de facto Third Party President Donald Trump’s accomplishments for black Americans.

Trump never called racist til running against DemocratsHe also contrasted Trump’s successful record with Joe Biden’s abysmal record on the same issues.

Henderson reminded voters that Trump gave a record amount of funding to HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), created a record amount of jobs for the black community, and passed criminal justice reform through the First Step Act where 91 percent of the inmates released were black.

NEWS ROUNDUP: FEBRUARY TWENTIETH

It’s a week-ending current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog here in an America where we can’t help but wonder why elderly, decrepit Bono never writes songs for the dead and/or raped victims of illegal immigrants. Or their children. He should be asked that question every time he plugs his latest pathetic effort.  

EPSTEIN FILES REVEAL CENTRAL ROLE JEFFREY AND GHISLAINE MAXWELL HAD IN THE “CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE”, CONTRADICTING HILLARY’S CLAIMS.

DEMOCRAT “SANCTUARY” COUNTY IN NORTH CAROLINA RELEASES ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WANTED FOR CHILD RAPE. Why are such offenders the highest priority for Democrats? Why?

FORLESIA COOK, WHO LOST HER GRANDSON TO THE STREET VIOLENCE DEMOCRATS IGNORE, PRAISES PRESIDENT TRUMP AT BLACK HISTORY MONTH EVENT. But the racist, shallow, hypocritical Bono did not write an obituary song for her slain grandson. Only for privileged white Renee Good. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. And HERE. And HERE. And HERE. And HERE.

FLORIDA POLICE RESCUE ELDERLY DRIVER WHO CRASHED THEIR CAR INTO A POND. You will NEVER see anti-police “activists” risking their lives to save the lives of others like this. NEVER. Continue reading

ROBERT DUVALL: MY FAVORITES AMONG HIS OVERLOOKED STARRING ROLES

R.I.P. Robert Duvall. This year we say goodbye to this monumental actor like we said goodbye to his friend and fellow thespian giant Gene Hackman early last year. Most tributes will cover Duvall’s roles in his many, many films whose titles are household words. This being Balladeer’s Blog I’ll instead look at some of his overlooked gems.

TOMORROW (1972) – Robert Duvall – who called this one of his favorite performances – plays poverty-stricken farmer and sawmill operator Jackson Fentry of Mississippi. One cold December evening he comes across the pregnant Sarah Eubanks, a poor woman whose abusive husband has abandoned her because he wants nothing to do with raising their child.

The lonely Fentry nurses Sarah back to health and supports her through her baby’s birth. He promises to raise the child as his own and keeps his word even when his and Sarah’s relationship is cut short by her poor health. Fentry’s fundamental decency rubs off on the boy, who shows signs of being as compassionate as Jackson himself.

SPOILERS: Unfortunately, Sarah’s violent brothers eventually learn that “Jackson Jr.” (Johnny Mask) is their sister’s child and take him from Fentry by force. From then on, the boy grows into the same kind of violent criminal that his uncles are. Ultimately, the young man is murdered, and his killer is let off because the jury views the slaying as a public benefit given what a depraved criminal the late Jackson Jr. was.

Horton Foote (who adapted the screenplay for To Kill a Mockingbird in which Duvall played Boo Radley) expanded one of William Faulkner’s short stories about lawyer Gavin Stevens into this film’s screenplay. A shorter version was first performed on tv’s Playhouse 90.

The film drags, but Robert performs brilliantly as a downtrodden man whose dignity and character shine through despite the deficient vocabulary his lack of education has left him with. Continue reading

NEWS ROUNDUP: FEBRUARY SIXTEENTH

It’s a Monday current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

PRESIDENT TRUMP AGAIN LAUDED AS THE PERSON WHO DID MORE THAN ANYONE TO BRING DOWN JEFFREY EPSTEIN. And all while many people who hate Trump have been exposed for their complicity in Epstein’s activities.

TRUMP HATER REID HOFFMAN REVEALED TO BE MENTIONED IN THE EPSTEIN FILES TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT TIMES. “Gifts for the girls” and other references. And more HERE.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO DISCARD CITIZENS AS COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

MARYLAND SHERIFFS COURAGEOUSLY VOW TO IGNORE THE STATE’S DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR’S ORDERS NOT TO COOPERATE WITH ICE. Public safety should take priority over the Democrat motto “Illegal immigrants uber alles.”

DEMOCRAT BOOSTER CENK UYGUR BLASTS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AGAIN. Hopefully he’ll follow so many of us in leaving behind The Party. An excerpt of what he had to say – “I was just in Washington and here’s my read of Democratic Party right now. 98% of them think they are the most important people on earth. 98% of them have done absolutely nothing. They demand respect, which they haven’t earned at all. They have an unbearable entitlement complex.” 

ANOTHER MINNESOTA WOMAN TRIES TO IMPEDE ICE’s SEARCH FOR AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CHILD RAPIST AND MURDERER. Sanctimonious fools continue to delude themselves that they are justified in helping to keep illegal immigrant child rapists and murderers at large.

BIDEN REGIME REVEALED TO HAVE LET BIG-MONEY DONORS SPONSOR DOJ INVESTIGATIONS INTO THEIR POLITICAL ENEMIES. If only the clueless Republican Party had kept up with the Democrats in the Media Arms Race this could be as prominently featured as the Democrats’ pet news stories of the moment.   

PRESIDENT TRUMP STEPS IN TO DEAL WITH THE DEMOCRAT DISASTER REGARDING SEWAGE BEING DUMPED INTO THE POTOMAC

FLASHBACK: CBS/ QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL NAMES OBAMA THE WORST PRESIDENT OF THE POST-WORLD WAR TWO ERA

FROM JULY THIRD OF 2014. 

THE WORST U.S. PRESIDENT OF THE POST-WORLD WAR TWO ERA

In the recent CBS News/ Quinnipiac University Poll Americans quite correctly voted Barack Obama the worst U.S. president of the post- World War Two era. How appropriate that, just in time for the July 4th holiday Little Barry Obama won this distinction since he is exactly the type of pompous, clueless, corrupt and self-satisfied ass that we declared our independence from back in 1776!

Congratulations to the poll respondents for absolutely nailing Obama, the quintessential Hollow Man. And the repulsive George W Bush was in 2nd place so that’s equally enjoyable, too!  Continue reading
