Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog it’s time for another installment of “Has to be Said.”
PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO READ MEDIA OUTLETS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE. I’ve pointed out several times that since I’m an Independent Voter I read everything I can from both Democrat media outlets and Republican media outlets. (No, media outlets are not unbiased now, nor were they EVER. I vented about that HERE.)
I have bashed presidents and other politicians from both major parties in the U.S. I can provide links to my blog posts in which I have slammed Republicans AND Democrats over the years, and that is something that people who try trolling me cannot say for themselves.
And I’ve also mentioned that I go after whichever party is being worse at the time. If I was writing this blog post during the time of the execrable George W. Bush I’d be focusing on bashing him. I wouldn’t be dissuaded by people saying “Hey, how come you only bash one side?” Similarly, as authoritarian, destructive and intolerant as Democrats are right now and have been for a very long time they deserve to be called out.
Seeing the way a lot of Americans and many people overseas so blindly fall into a “smirking jackass attitude” whenever Democrat media outlets (which the clueless Republican Party has allowed to vastly outnumber their own media outlets) choose to distort the words of a political figure. To avoid using a Trump example, since many otherwise reasonable people become raving loons at the mention of his name, here’s an example from years before President Trump even ran for office.
*** One of America’s female Republicans (which one is not important to this example) was speaking at a Tea Party event and closed by exhorting her audience to “Party like it’s 1773.”
Democrat snob
Democrats all across the media and the internet had a field day ridiculing the woman for saying that. In their usual prickish, pompous manner American leftists assumed the woman had meant to say 1776, which was the year the Declaration of Independence was signed, but NOT the year of the Boston Tea Party. Democrat asses repeated their snobbish “Republicans are stupid” meme over and over again because of her reference, which they clearly misunderstood.
Actually, since the Boston Tea Party, the event the Tea Party takes its name from, happened in 1773 – NOT 1776 – the Republican woman had the right year. That simple fact was lost and/or ignored in the slew of jokes about how “historically illiterate” Republicans supposedly were for defending the woman. Talk shows, news shows, internet humor outlets all ran with the usual “Republicans are morons” sentiment for several days.
Let me emphasize this for overseas readers: the people who had the historical reference RIGHT became national laughingstocks and were being ridiculed as “stupid” by the people who were WRONG about the historical reference. And those wrong people included plenty from other countries. Continue reading
Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I want to note that America’s official Hate Group – the Democrats – have apparently moved on from abusing the courts to persecute political enemies to justifying assassination attempts by blaming the victim.

Democrats, the most hate-filled and divisive people in 2024 America, reacted with their usual emotional instability when de facto Third Party President Donald Trump survived another attempted assassination. Like last time, I will do a full blog post about it in a day or two when the initial fog of inaccuracy passes. 
DEMOCRATS: WE ARE THE FASCISTS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

** In the 2020 presidential debates, various anti-Trumpers pushed the now-debunked notion that the Biden Family Scandals exposed on Hunter Biden’s laptop were “Russian disinformation.” This 2024 edition 
** Just as the people who run the Republican Party will apparently never learn their lesson about keeping up with the Democrats in the Media Arms Race, they will apparently never learn their lesson about presidential debates. 
** The obscene way that Kamala and her two moderator-partners in the debate ridiculed the situation in Ohio was just another example of what we have seen over and over again. The propagandists called the media will mock something Trump says, then weeks or months later the corrections finally emerge showing that Trump was right regarding what he said. 
Here’s
RED SUN (1971) – I had originally planned to review this international production during Frontierado Season of 2025, but French superstar Alain Delon’s recent death made me decide to post it now. Red Sun was a French-Italian co-production starring America’s Charles Bronson, France’s Alain Delon and Japan’s Toshiro Mifune in a Spaghetti Western. 
The train also carries a shipment of gold targeted by a gang of outlaws led by a charismatic but cruel man called Gauche (Alain Delon) and his longtime partner in crime Link Stuart (Charles Bronson). The bandits rob the gold as the train passes through the western deserts. Gauche displays his callous ruthlessness by not caring that he has to kill an innocent passenger while gunning down a man trying to play hero.
