JULY FIRST NEWS ROUNDUP AND SOME FLASHBACKS

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog starts July with this current events roundup.

MOTHER OF DAUGHTER KILLED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT DARES DEMOCRATS TO LOOK HER IN THE EYE AND EXPLAIN WHY THEY FEEL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN HER LATE DAUGHTER. More HERE. Jessica Gorman also pointed out that President Trump’s political allies are the only ones who care about preventing what happened to her daughter from happening to anyone else, saying “I don’t understand why it is only the Republican side that cares about our American children,”. Yes, the Democrat motto remains “Illegal immigrants uber alles.” 

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN RO KHANNA LIVES IN A SIX MILLION DOLLAR MANSION WHILE COMPLAINING ABOUT RICH PEOPLE

ODDBALL DAY YESTERDAY NEWS-WISE SO HERE ARE SOME FLASHBACKS TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD.

Back in 2017 when rational people were first getting fully exposed to the deranged anti-Donald Trump hysteria from Democrats I made a blog post joking about how obsessive their Trump hatred was. When they removed video of Trump in a harmless cameo in Home Alone 2 I facetiously said they would soon “ADD Trump to old media, as in this scene from M*A*S*H.

RADAR: Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Blake’s plane … was shot down by Donald Trump … over the Sea of Japan … it spun in … there were no survivors.”

I also mentioned the new Democrat attempt at a joke book:

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?   A: To get away from Trump.

Q: Why does a fireman wear red suspenders?   A: As a clear rebuke to the Trump administration. Continue reading

NEWS ROUNDUP: JUNE TWENTY-NINTH

Start your Monday with a current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

HAVING DRIVEN MOST REASONABLE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR POLITICAL PARTY, DEMOCRATS NOW BATTLE OVER WHO CAN BE THE MOST HATEFUL TOWARD AMERICAN CITIZENS. Mamdani and his fellow hatemongers are on the march.

EVEN DEMOCRAT JAMES CARVILLE ADMITS IT MAY BE TIME FOR A SCHIZM IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OVER THE UNHINGED MAMDANI WING ACCELERATING THE DEPARTURE OF RATIONAL PEOPLE FROM THE PARTY. He says “I can’t be in the same party” and more.

IN DEMOCRAT-HELD MINNESOTA, A SCHOOL BOARD WORKER CALLS FOR HAVING DOGS URINATE ON THE GRAVES OF WHITE CHRISTIANS. Do you get the feeling that James Carville’s far too late?

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO HATEMONGER ABOUT CELEBRATING AMERICA’S 250th BIRTHDAY IN TEN STATES. More HERE

TWO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SENTENCED TO OVER SIX YEARS FOR ATM TARGETING CONSPIRACY TIED TO TREN DE ARAGUA. Yet the top priority for Democrats remains keeping criminals like this in the country.

AMERICA: MONTH BY MONTH 1976

With America’s 250th birthday fast approaching, Balladeer’s Blog has been looking at national history using 50-year milestones. Previously I did 1826, and 1876, and 1926. This time it’s 1976.

Number of Senators: 100   Number of House Representatives: 435   Number of Supreme Court Justices: 9

JANUARY

1st – The ROSE BOWL GAME was played between the UCLA Bruins from the Pacific 8 (Pac 8) Conference and the Ohio State Buckeyes from the Big Ten Conference. A 3-0 Buckeyes lead at Halftime turned into a 23-10 Bruins victory in the end.

      Also the 1st – The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is moved from Independence Hall to its own pavilion to accommodate tourism for America’s 200th Anniversary year.

4th – The musical comedy Home Sweet Homer, an adaptation of The Odyssey, does so poorly it opens AND closes on Broadway this same night.  Continue reading

FLASHBACK: VACLAV KLAUS CALLS OBAMA’S WEAK, INEPT AND CROOKED REGIME “THE KARDASHIAN PRESIDENCY.”

FROM JUNE 7th, 2016:

Obama making a face

Obama at his most presidential

Vaclav Klaus once made this remark which nicely captures the weak, inept and crooked little man named Barack Obama as well as the shallow, mindless, unquestioning supporters of this Hollow Man.

That quote: “The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

CURRENT IRANIAN REGIME IRATE ABOUT GAY PRIDE SYMBOLS AT SEATTLE WORLD CUP GAME. They want FIFA to ban such symbols at any more games. Democrat hypocrites silent because they support that regime simply because it is hostile to Trump. Cowards.

MAJORITY MUSLIM COUNCIL IN MICHIGAN TOWN BANS THE GAY FLAG FROM PUBLIC PROPERTY. As usual, Democrats were wrong when they claimed that the delicate little darlings would NEVER commit intolerant acts like this and that it was “Islamophobic” to even suggest it. I guess the Muslim majority is making gay people feel “unsafe”, right Democrats?

VIDEO: DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN SETH MOULTON PHYSICALLY ATTACKS REPORTER OVER DEMOCRAT GRAHAM “NAZI TATTOO” PLATNER. This would dominate an entire news cycle if the other political party did it. Will Republicans EVER try to catch up with Democrats in the Media Outlet Arms Race?

DEMOCRAT ANDREW CUOMO COURAGEOUSLY BLASTS HIS PARTY FOR SUPPORTING GRAHAM “NAZI TATTOO” PLATNER

DEMOCRAT LETITIA JAMES ACCUSES FANATIC DEMOCRAT MAYOR MAMDANI OF “BLOWING UP THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.” Well, Democrats drove away all of us rational Democrats over the years, leaving the Party at the mercy of Mamdani and his ilk. More HERE. Related HERE

FATHER OF VICTIM MURDERED BY KARMELO ANTHONY CALLS OUT PROPAGANDIST SUNNY HOSTIN FOR TRYING TO MONETIZE HIS SON AUSTIN’S DEATH. Sunny, Whoopi (LOL) and the rest of The View‘s staff are lying hatemongers. Remember when Whoopi (LOL) claimed Trump was going to nullify interracial marriages? Whoopi (LOL) is pathetic and deranged.

PRESIDENT TRUMP HOSTS DINNER FOR AMERICAN FARMERS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ROSE GARDEN.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SENTENCED TO EIGHT YEARS FOR THEIR PART IN AN EIGHTY-NINE-MILLION-DOLLAR PAYROLL SCAM. Privileged white male one percenter Bruce Springsteen’s kind of guy!

Remember back during Trump’s first term when his haters – including Republican filth like Paul Ryan – were trying to pretend Antifa didn’t exist and that Trump was lying?

ITEM ABOUT THE CRIMES THAT DIDN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN BUT DO BECAUSE DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO SECURE THE BORDER AND ENFORCE OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS. In fact, Democrats do all they can to obstruct the arrests of illegal immigrants who have committed additional crimes.

NEW YORK SCHOOL DISTRICT VICE PRESIDENT ARRESTED FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. Democrats, can you please leave children alone? 

ONE LONE DISTRICT JUDGE BLOCKS PRESIDENTIAL ACTION AT FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY-THREE NATIONAL PARKS. Judicial overreach continues.

MACKY SALL, FORMER PRESIDENT OF SENEGAL AND A LEADING CONTENDER TO BE THE NEXT U.N. SECRETARY GENERAL SAYS HE BACKS “PEACE BUILDER TRUMP’S” PUSH FOR REFORMS. He’s got a point – President Trump has ended more conflicts around the world than the U.N. has in years. (And nobody can consistently deal with the deceptive, mad dog Iranian regime due to their irrational behavior. But he tries.)

COLOMBIA IS THE LATEST NATION TO ELECT A TRUMP-ENDORSED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE – ESPRIELLA. Losing candidate blamed Israel for his loss. (?)

IRAN’S REGIME BLAMES ISRAEL FOR ITS LATEST FANATICAL ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ.

NEW YORK DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE STATES IT’S WRONG TO DEPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO ALSO COMMIT CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, MURDER AND KIDNAPPING. She claims it’s “discrimination” to deport them.

Democrats have become callous monsters.

DEMOCRATS DENY VOTER A BALLOT FOR WEARING A TRUMP HAT

JUNETEENTH: THE DAY DEMOCRATS LOST THEIR SLAVES (2026 EDITION)

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog wishes you a happy Juneteenth, marking the day Democrats lost their slaves. (Democrats owned slaves, not Republicans.) African-Americans continue fighting for their freedom from the Democrats, who today treat people of color like they still own them and that they MUST vote for Democrats and ONLY Democrats.

That political party, which I’m ashamed to say I used to belong to years ago, even distorts the Juneteenth holiday. They try fundamentally transforming it into a day when Democrats – the only extant political party which supported slavery and even fought a Civil War over it – can act like they are above reproach while THE REST OF THE COUNTRY shares a guilt The Party pretends to be free from.
