OCTOBER 17th ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at current events.

LAS VEGAS AREA DEMOCRAT OFFICIAL WHO KILLED AN INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST FOR ARTICLES CRITICAL OF HIM SENTENCED TO TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS.

KAMALA HARRIS-JOE BIDEN REGIME FORCED TO ADMIT THAT UNDER THEIR POLICIES CHILD SEX-TRAFFICKING REPORTS HAVE TRIPLED. Horrific details about the treatment inflicted on the victims. More HERE. And HERE.

KAMALA HARRIS-JOE BIDEN REGIME’S POLICIES ARE TAKING CUSTODY AWAY FROM PARENTS IF THEY DON’T OKAY THEIR CHILDREN’S “TRANS” PROCEDURES. Those kids can’t get permanent tattoos yet, but Democrats insist they’re adult enough to make health-altering decisions. Unreal. But then, trans kids will likely be Democrat voters for life and procedures make millions for the industries performing them, so Democrats have been all in on this.

TRUMP-HATER PROVIDES LIST OF REASONS WHY HE IS VOTING FOR TRUMP THIS ELECTION. It is excellent. 

HARRIS-BIDEN DOJ CAUGHT STEALTH-EDITING CRIME STATISTICS LIKE THEY DO THE JOBS REPORTS. Quite a scam – report figures favorable to the Regime, then quietly “correct” those figures after claiming successes.

GALLUP POLL: RECORD LOW TRUST FOR THE CORPORATE MEDIA. Just some of the exposed media hoaxes HERE. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: OCTOBER FIFTEENTH

kamala harris record picIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at current events.

THE KAMALA HARRIS-JOE BIDEN REGIME’S FAILURE TO ENFORCE THE SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN ALLOWED THAT GOVERNMENT TO TAKE IN TWO HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS IN OIL REVENUE DURING THE PAST FOUR YEARS. Kamala and Joe apparently enjoy enabling every self-declared foe of the U.S.

NATIONAL BORDER PATROL COUNCIL ENDORSES TRUMP. Among the council’s remarks –

        “If we allow Border Czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country, is going to go to hell,” said Paul Perez, the president of the National Border Patrol Council.

victims of“The untold millions of people, unvetted, who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, and every other crime will continue to put our country in peril. Only one man can fix that and that is Donald J. Trump. He has always stood with the men and women who protect this border.” More HERE.

EVEN FORMER DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON ADMITS THAT LAKEN RILEY PROBABLY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN KILLED IF KAMALA HARRIS’ PEOPLE HAD PROPERLY VETTED THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ACCUSED OF KILLING HER.

trump thumbs upLAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL ENDORSES DE FACTO THIRD PARTY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

STANLEY KUBRIK’S DAUGHTER VIVIAN DEFENDS TRUMP AND SAYS “TRUMP HAS MY BLESSING” TO USE FOOTAGE FROM FULL METAL JACKET IN HIS CAMPAIGN. She also stated “Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods.” and pointed out that her courageous father would likely approve of resisting “highly destructive globalist forces.”

ARIZONA IS ALLOWING OVER TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE WITH UNCONFIRMED CITIZENSHIP TO VOTE THIS YEAR. Unreal.

AN ITEM POINTING OUT THAT THE DEBUNKED ANTI-TRUMP LIES ARE STILL LIES NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES ANTI-TRUMPERS INSIST ON REPEATING THEM. Continue reading

JANUARY 2023: A LOOK BACK

FOR PART ONE (2016) OF THIS RETROSPECTIVE FROM INDEPENDENT VOTER SITE BALLADEER’S BLOG CLICK HERE.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY: FURTHER REPORTING ON HOW CHINA MONEY WAS FUNNELED TO JOE BIDEN. Life in Joe’s corporate fascist kleptocracy and the many crimes he was declared mentally incompetent to stand trial for. Yet he’s STILL “mentally competent” (wink) to sit in the Oval Office.

TWITTER FILES: EVEN MORE EVIDENCE OF HOW THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANT SERVED AS A DEMOCRAT PROPAGANDA OUTLET. And as we’ve seen, ever since then the Democrats have been trying to destroy Elon Musk for taking over their former propaganda tool.

TRUMP COURAGEOUSLY WARNS REPUBLICANS NOT TO CUT SOCIAL SECURITY OR MEDICARE. Still a brave, de facto Third Party president.

CAROLINE BIDEN TURNS UP HER NOSE AT $85,000 PER YEAR JOB OFFER AS “BELOW MINIMUM WAGE.” In the past this type of snobbery was associated with Republicans, but now Democrats are just as bad. Or maybe Caroline was just miffed that the offer was from a Joe Biden donor, and she wanted the kind of obscene money Bidens are used to grabbing.

WAR CRIMINAL PUTIN TRYING TO BUY THE MILITARY EQUIPMENT THAT THE BIDEN REGIME ABANDONED IN AFGHANISTAN. And the Taliban is willing to strike a deal with him.

BIDEN REGIME CAUGHT IN LIE THAT CLAIMED THERE WERE NO RECORDS OF WHO VISITED SITES OF JOE’s CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT STASHES. More HERE. And HERE. A timely reminder that the Biden Regime always conjured up fake Trump “scandals” intended to soften Joe Biden’s REAL scandals.

And remember, even the Democrats at the Jeff Bezos Post were forced to admit Trump was cleared of any wrongdoing in the atrocious Mar-a-Lago raid.

1,219 CONVICTIONS SO FAR IN ELECTION FRAUD CASES. And this was as of January of 2023. Yet Democrats go on pretending the problem doesn’t exist.

TRUMP LAUDED AGAIN FOR HIS PRESCIENT WARNINGS TO THE E.U. YEARS AGO ABOUT THE DANGERS OF BEING RELIANT ON FUTURE WAR CRIMINAL VLAD PUTIN FOR FUEL. But as usual,  pompous EuroPols dismissed his “fantasies.” How dare that outsider be more savvy than they are? Continue reading

OCTOBER ELEVENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at current events in this land of Democrat Apartheid called the United States.

DEMOCRAT APARTHEID: KAMALA HARRIS/ JOE BIDEN REGIME STILL PLAYING POLITICS WITH HURRICANE RECOVERY IN AREAS THAT VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION PARTY. Want FEMA to help? Vote Democrat seems to be the message. And don’t dare help each other out – the Regime will decide on such things.

MICHELLE WOODHOUSE ON HARRIS’ FEMA FAILURES AND TARDINESS.

KAMALA HARRIS CRONY MAYORKAS SAYS FEMA, WHICH SPENT UNTOLD AMOUNTS ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, NEEDS MORE MONEY TO HELP AMERICAN VICTIMS OF HURRICANE SEASON. And we all know when a high-profile “must-pass” spending bill comes along, Democrats will attach all kinds of unrelated funding for their pet issues because they can blast the opposition party for “holding up” the hurricane expenditures if they protest the unrelated funding that Democrats slip through.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PROVIDED FREE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR NEARLY THREE HUNDRED LINEMEN TO GET THEM IN POSITION BEFORE THE HURRICANE EVEN HIT. Unlike Kamala Harris and her ilk, Trump doesn’t care what political party people belong to when humanitarian aid is needed.

SENATOR TOM COTTON BRAVELY SPEAKS OUT REGARDING THE DEMOCRATS’ FCC SPEEDING THROUGH GEORGE SOROS’ PURCHASE OF OVER TWO HUNDRED MEDIA OUTLETS IN THE U.S. Many opposition party broadcasters affected. Normally such large foreign involvement must wait for national security review, but the FCC has rushed the deal through for Soros without such security procedures. Republicans set to lose another round of the Media Arms Race if more don’t join Cotton.

NEW HEAD OF NATO HAILS GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. Continue reading

HALLOWEEN SEASON MOVIE: TERRIFIER 3

terrifier 3Halloween Month continues as Balladeer’s Blog takes an anticipatory look at Terrifier 3, which hits theaters tomorrow, October 11th. Despite making his first appearance in 2008, Art – the blood-and-gore-soaked supernatural killer of the Terrifier franchise – still gets hailed as a “new” figure because general audiences were unaware of him until 2016.

Regular readers know I’ve long been pushing this ultra-violent series which is a return to the kind of uncompromising horror films from the distant past. Though critics of this latest movie are outraged at Art’s “no limits” approach to victims, let me remind people who feel that way that this grotesque figure has been killing children in his movies since All Hallows’ Eve in 2013.   

WARNING: I chose the tamest Terrifier 3 picture I could find to start off this blog post, but this is one of those times when I’m giving a warning that readers who want to avoid excessive gore and intensely disturbing concepts should not click “Continue reading.”  Continue reading

TRANSGRESS WITH ME: OCTOBER NINTH

It has literally been years since Balladeer’s Blog did a post in my Transgress with Me series, so here we go. For newbies, I’m an Independent Voter who used to be a Democrat until they became such intolerant fascists. At present, it’s the Democrats who are the worst authoritarians and hatemongers, but I have bashed figures from both major political parties here.

*** All “news” outlets are biased, but at present Democrat outlets far outnumber those for the opposition party, and that has resulted in a false impression of a national consensus on various issues and topics. (But it’s the fault of the Republican Party that they are still so far behind in the Media Arms Race.) 

*** Democrats mistakenly believe that successfully censoring dissenting opinions means they are “in the right.” 

*** When pompous Democrats put up those nauseating signs that say “Hate has no home here” what they really mean is “Hate has no home here, except for our perfectly righteous hatred of everyone who disagrees with any of our political opinions.”

*** Elon Musk, like de facto Third Party President Donald Trump, was long a darling of the Democrats until daring to disobey The Party. Now The Party wants them destroyed.

*** Democrats are only content in environments where they have a captive audience, like in schools or wherever they can use the full force of the government or other higher “authorities” to impose silence on those who disagree with them.

*** If you want people killed or injured just because they voted differently than you did, then they aren’t the fascists – YOU ARE.

*** Democrats are not liberals – they’re illiberal. Democrats are not progressives – they’re regressive.

*** Democrat dishonesty has become even worse and is spiraling out of control. The number of lies they try to force the rest of us to believe is always growing, especially the Democrat insistence that some males menstruate and some men can naturally get pregnant. Some “party of science.”

*** Democrat snobbery and pretentiousness have become such that they will be well into their 20s or older and living with their parents but will look down on a plumber who makes six figures and is raising a family.

*** People who say that teaching is a political act should never be trusted with authority over vulnerable young minds.

*** Democrats demonize and dehumanize anyone who does not support their every opinion, yet they pretend to be models of “tolerance”.

*** People who actually think any American President has been the equivalent of Hitler need to seek professional help. They’re only trying to compare them to Hitler for self-aggrandizement. After all, such pathetic little people think that it makes their own whiny complaints the equivalent of “fighting Hitler” which we all know such insecure narcissists would NEVER have had the courage to do.

FOOL KILLER: 1980s SLASHER VERSION

As Halloween month continues, Balladeer’s Blog does a special look at the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT IN THE 1850s, CLICK HERE.

*

The previous installments of Fool Killer lore have seen the neglected 1800s folk figure in a variety of roles: Political and cultural vigilante, slayer of lynch mobs, battler of war profiteers, foe of the Ku Klux Klan in the Reconstruction South, bastard son of a supernatural entity, guardian of Melungeon Gold, old west gunslinger, steam-punk policeman and so much more.

*

 

In honor of the Halloween season this post will look at the Fool Killer as a 1980s slasher.

*

And I don’t mean the Fool Killer/ Grim Reaper figure from the horror film A Day of Judgment (1981) as seen above right. I mean a true 1980s slasher in the mold of Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and others.

*

Fool Killer MountainTHE FOOL KILLER – As we all know, Anthony Perkins starred in the eerie 1965 movie The Fool Killer as an amnesiac Civil War veteran who came to believe he was really the legendary title figure. A 1980s slasher version of the Fool Killer could feature a deranged killer who has similarly come to regard himself as the “real” one.

*

To avoid having to get into any political or “moral” motive behind this figure’s killing spree I would have made this deranged (and possibly supernatural) Fool Killer be an “outdoorsy” slayer like Jason Voorhees, Madman and many others. He would kill any who dare to trespass in his domain.

*

It would be TOO derivative to have a summer camp be this Fool Killer’s territory, so I would instead set his activities along the Fool Killer mountain and hiking trail in New Hampshire. A 1980s slasher franchise set there would have added to the renown and tourist appeal of the place. Continue reading

HALLOWEEN TALE: EZRA PEDEN (1822)

Halloween Month rolls along here at Balladeer’s Blog with this look at one of Allan Cunningham’s Traditional Tales of the English and Scottish Peasantry, published in 1822.

masc graveyard smallerEZRA PEDEN – This was Allan Cunningham’s tale about the deeds of Scottish Presbyterian Minister Ezra Peden and his encounters with the forces of the supernatural in Scotland from the late 1600s to around 1706. It makes for nice Halloween Season reading and practically makes you feel the chilliness of Scotland in late October as Cunningham depicts the brave, if humorless, Ezra adventuring in the moonlight.

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP: OCTOBER SEVENTH

hurricane heleneFrom Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog:

HARRIS-BIDEN REGIME ANNOUNCES FEMA DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR HURRICANE SEASON AFTER OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNTS SPENT ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Not to mention that the U.S. has spent outrageous amounts on Zelensky. Further proof that Kamala Harris’ constituents are bloated rich pigs, NOT American citizens. More HERE. And HERE. And HERE.

HARRIS-BIDEN REGIME WANTS AMERICAN CITIZENS TO CONTRIBUTE EXTRA MONEY TO MAKE UP FOR THE REGIME’S SHORTFALL. But Zelensky got ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE BILLION DOLLARS of U.S. taxpayer money.  Meanwhile, Trump’s compassion stands out.

CAREER CRIMINAL JOE BIDEN ONCE AGAIN AFFIRMS KAMALA HARRIS’ “MAJOR” ROLE IN THE REGIME’S DISASTERS.

HARRIS-BIDEN REGIME SLOW-WALKS THE AID TO HURRICANE VICTIMS IN AREAS WHICH HISTORICALLY VOTED FOR TRUMP. More HERE.   Axelrod even gloats that conditions there may not be restored enough for the citizens to be able to vote in the election in November.

           Wow. Democrats have become so callous to human suffering that they even view a humanitarian disaster through the lens of their political hatred. Unreal.

FURTHER CRITICISM OF THE HARRIS-BIDEN REGIME’S FAILURES WITH HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORTS. More HERE.

HARRIS-BIDEN DOJ SUING TO KEEP INELIGIBLE VOTERS ON THE VOTER ROLLS. But Democrats still pretend those ineligible voters haven’t been voting in U.S. elections. So why do they want them on the rolls? I think we all know why.

DEMOCRATS IN ST. LOUIS CAUGHT TRYING TO REGISTER EVEN MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO VOTE

KAMALA HARRIS STILL HASN’T ACCOUNTED FOR WHERE THE FUNDS WENT IN THE 42.5 BILLION DOLLAR “PROGRAM” SHE WAS PUT IN CHARGE OF. Life under the Harris-Biden kleptocracy. Continue reading

FOR PART ONE (2016) OF THIS RETROSPECTIVE FROM INDEPENDENT VOTER SITE BALLADEER’S BLOG CLICK HERE.  

the regime laughsCALLOUS AND UNCARING JOE BIDEN CALLED OUT FOR PARTYING IN SAINT CROIX WHILE STORM DESTRUCTION RAGED. And here we are two years later and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are once again callously failing those suffering from a natural disaster.

FACEBOOK WHISTLEBLOWER STATES THAT FACEBOOK’S SCANDALS WOULD OVERSHADOW TWITTER’S. Big Tech’s political interference and blatant partisanship is beyond disgusting.

AND YET ANOTHER STATE SUPREME COURT – DELAWARE THIS TIME – STRIKES DOWN VOTE BY MAIL (Cheat by Mail). Also strikes down election day registration. (And remember, Vote by Mail is NOT the same thing as absentee voting.)biden is not legit

           At any rate, even more of those unconstitutional mail in ballots should never have been counted. The 2020 presidential election was as corrupt and tainted as the ones in 1876 and 2000.

BIDEN REGIME FAILS TO PROPERLY HANDLE WINTER STORM, LEAVING MANY DEAD AND MILLIONS WITHOUT POWER. More HERE. Callously failing suffering Americans has been the hallmark of the Kamala Harris-Joe Biden Regime.

biden fbi electionsBIDEN AND HARRIS REGIME, TO THE BENEFIT OF HUMAN TRAFFICKERS AND DRUG DEALERS, UNDO ARIZONA’s STEPS TO SECURE THE BORDER. Biden and Harris’ hostile occupation of the U.S. continues.

THE FBI (FUGGEDDA BOUT INTEGRITY, FUHRER BIDEN’S INQUISITORS) REFUSE TO NAME OTHER BIG TECH OUTFITS THAT THEY PAY OFF. Social media outlets have been and still are partisan tools.

BIDEN HAS HELD FEWER INTERVIEWS THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT AT THIS POINT IN THEIR TERM. This is just an extension of the way that the unfit white-collar criminal hid away during his non-campaign in 2020 in order to minimize exposure regarding his obvious dementia. 

democrat media outletsTWITTER FILES REVEAL THAT THE PREVIOUS REGIME AT TWITTER COOPERATED WITH THE U.S. MILITARY ON PSYOPS AND OTHER EFFORTS. Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy and its functionaries are the worst of the worst. The election interference was just the tip of the iceberg.
