NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: APRIL NINTH

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

PARTISAN HACK JAMES BOASBERG SMACKED DOWN BY THE SUPREME COURT, WHICH RULED – AS WE ALL KNEW – THAT AS A MERE DISTRICT JUDGE HE DID NOT HAVE JURISDICTION TO BLOCK TRUMP ACTIONS.

           Remember several days ago when I mentioned that the higher courts would once again overrule the unconstitutional overreach by showboating anti-Trump judges?

Here are some more of the newest instances – HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE. Yet anti-Trump loons are still celebrating what they thought were wins because they lack the attention spans to follow these cases all the way through.  

SENATOR SCHMITT CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE CORRUPTION INVOLVED IN BOASBERG’S OBSCENE ANTICS. Such biased “judges” need reined in for the sake of whoever is president from whichever political party.

THREE MORE DEMOCRAT OFFICIALS IN PENNSYLVANIA PLEAD GUILTY TO ELECTION FRAUD IN YEARS-OLD CASE. The fight against election fraud is crucial and must continue so that hopefully a fraudulent election like 2020’s cannot happen again.

TWO MEN PRETENDING TO BE WOMEN PLAY FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN A WOMEN’S COMPETITION. Democrats should just cut to the chase and make “May the best man win” the official motto of all women’s athletics and other competitions.

PRO-TRUMP CONGRESSMAN JOHN JAMES ANNOUNCES RUN TO BECOME MICHIGAN’S GOVERNOR.

TRUMP SAYS HE’S PROUD TO BE THE PRESIDENT FOR WORKERS AND THE MIDDLE CLASS. He’s been the best president for them during my lifetime.

APRIL SEVENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Kicking off the week with a current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog, as anti-Trump hysteria moves from “Russia, Russia, Russia” to “tariffs, tariffs, tariffs” and from “Trump’s going to start World War Three” to “Trump’s going to start a Depression.”

DEMOCRATS AT THE AP UPSET THAT THE MARCH JOBS REPORT WAS SUCH A SPECTACULAR TRUMP SUCCESS. Democrats still root against the working class and the poor apparently.

AGRICULTURE SECRETARY BROOKE ROLLINS SKILLFULLY CORRECTS CNN REGARDING TARIFFS. The strong, intelligent woman exposed weak, uninformed Jake Tapper’s spin. More HERE. More on tariffs HERE. And HERE

OVER FIFTY NATIONS HAVE ALREADY SOUGHT OUT NEW DEALS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP TO STOP GOUGING THE U.S. WITH THEIR OUTRAGEOUS TARIFFS. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE. Getting nations to come to the table for talks was obviously the goal and such talks are taking place. NOTE: I wish various news outlets would stop wording headlines on this to mean that other countries are “caving” or “bending the knee.” Such wording is counterproductive at best.

COURAGEOUS ROLE MODEL TULSI GABBARD MOVING TO REVEAL ALL OF THE BIDEN REGIME’S AUTHORITARIAN DOMESTIC SURVEILLANCE AND CENSORSHIP PROGRAMS.

PRIVILEGED WHITE DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN (AND BILLIONAIRE) MOVES TO DEFUND DOGE, UNAWARE THAT DOGE DOESN’T GET ANY MONEY. Shouldn’t a member of Congress be able to understand such things? Even one from California?  

ALLEGED “JUDGE” BOASBERG CAUGHT IN TRANSCRIPT OVER CONSPIRACY AGAINST TRUMP AND THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. Honest judges recuse themselves when they are this biased. But I wonder if anyone has ever accused James Boasberg of being an honest judge. 

PARTISAN HACK JAMES “JEB” BOASBERG’S BROTHER WAS INVOLVED IN HIRING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: APRIL FOURTH

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up another current events roundup from a world where anti-Trump loons who never even heard of the word “tariff” a few weeks ago are joining the latest pile-on panic. Seriously, the best way to silence anti-Trumpers with the TikTok mentality is to ask them to explain their understanding of how tariffs work. You’ve never seen conversations end so quickly.

COURAGEOUS BATYA UNGAR-SARGON DEFENDS PRESIDENT TRUMP AND POINTS OUT HOW MUCH HE HAS ALWAYS HELPED THE WORKING CLASS AND THE POOR. Like me, she calls him a new FDR HERE.

PRIVILEGED WHITE ONE PERCENTER DEMOCRAT NANCY PELOSI SUPPORTED THE KIND OF TARIFFS TRUMP IS PURSUING … WHEN IT WASN’T TRUMP PURSUING THEM. Anti-Trump hysteria is pathetic.

EVEN THE DEMOCRATS AT THE NEW YORK TIMES ADMIT ONCE AGAIN THAT TRUMP’S POLICIES REGARDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION WILL BOOST WAGES FOR THE AMERICAN WORKING CLASS.

LENARD MCKELVEY CALLS FOR DEMOCRATS CHUCK SCHUMER AND HAKEEM JEFFRIES TO BE PRIMARIED AND THROWN OUT OF OFFICE.

TRUMP ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL TAX RELIEF FOR SENIOR CITIZENS AND THE MIDDLE CLASS.

VAL KILMER: RIP – TOP SECRET (1984)

With the passing of the one and only Val Kilmer here’s a look at his debut movie, Top Secret

TOP SECRET (1984)

Directed and written by the Zucker Brothers and Jim Abrahams, Top Secret is the Citizen Kane of movies which simultaneously parody spy movies and Elvis Presley flicks.

Val Kilmer, in the years before he took himself way too seriously, could truly do it all and masterfully stars as rock music idol Nick Rivers. Nick gets caught up in an anachronistic World War Two-style spy movie which also incorporates elements of Elvis’ Harum Scarum but with Nazi stereotypes instead of Arab stereotypes.    Continue reading

SEAN FLYNN: ERROL’S SON ON THE BIG SCREEN

Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the film appearances of Errol Flynn’s son Sean. The two did not get along, unfortunately, largely because of Errol only caring about Sean when the mood struck him according to Sean.

However, Sean did get to star in various movies thanks to his name and the efforts of his mother Lili Damita.

Growing bored with filmmaking, Sean worked as a photojournalist during the Vietnam War and tragically wound up among the dead victims of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia during 1970.    

THE SON OF CAPTAIN BLOOD (1962) – Since the 1935 swashbuckler Captain Blood propelled Errol Flynn to stardom, the studio was hoping a Son of Captain Blood flick would do the same for Sean. Jock Mahoney, a former Tarzan and stunt man for Errol trained Sean in fencing and acrobatics to prepare for the role.

The younger Flynn starred as Robert Blood, the adventurous son of the famous pirate Captain Peter Blood. Robert has been itching to take to the seas with a crew of his own to command. Early on in the film his mother Arabella (played this time by Ann Todd) at last gives her assent.

The ship Robert commands has among its passengers a handful of giggling young ladies being transported to England along with their stern lady chaperone. This new Captain Blood turns their heads and ultimately Abigail McBride (Alessandra Panaro) beats out the others for his heart.

On the way to England the ship is attacked by pirates and Robert is too inexperienced to prevail over the veteran freebooter he’s up against. That figure is Captain de Malagon (Jose Nieto), an old foe of Robert’s father, who is delighted that his enemy’s son has fallen into his clutches. Continue reading

DEMOCRAT SENATOR MICHAEL BENNETT COURAGEOUSLY POINTS OUT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE “LOST TOUCH WITH WORKING PEOPLE.”

UNITED AUTO WORKERS UNION PRAISES PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR HIS MOVES TO EVEN OUT THE UNFAIR TARIFFS OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE IMPOSED ON AMERICA FOR DECADES.

PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HYUNDAI MOTOR GROUP EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN ANNOUNCE HYUNDAI INVESTING TWENTY-ONE BILLION DOLLARS IN THE U.S. OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. Another of these mega-deals from Trump.
