SEPTEMBER SIXTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Time for another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, coming to you from an America where ONLY EIGHTEEN MINUTES OF THE FORTY-ONE MINUTE CNN PUFF PIECE WITH KAMALA HARRIS WAS COHERENT ENOUGH TO USE. Is she even more unfit than Joe Biden?

EVEN KAMALA SUPPORTER MARK CUBAN ADMITS HER POLICIES WOULD “KILL THE STOCK MARKET.” And thus, Kamala’s war on everyone’s 401K continues, but her one-percenter supporters like Mark Cuban (left) will be just fine.

KAMALANOMICS CALLED OUT AS RECESSION BOMB. I guess Kamala Harris feels that after helping Biden cause one recession she’s entitled to cause one herself.

MORE KAMALANOMICS: AUGUST LAYOFFS HIT RECORD HIGHS. The Harris-Biden Regime still destroying the working class and the poor, unfortunately.

WAR CRIMINAL VLAD PUTIN ENDORSES KAMALA HARRIS. Human bacteria stick together, I guess. RELATED – TWO RUSSIAN NATIONALS INDICTED FOR FUNNELING MONEY TO ANTI-TRUMP MEDIA COMPANY.

“MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AGAIN” – PRESIDENT TRUMP LAYS OUT HIS PLANS TO SAVE THE U.S. ECONOMY JUST LIKE HE DID THE FIRST TIME AROUND.

KAMALA HARRIS’ ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CONTINUE TO DESTROY LIVES AND MORE. * Harris-Biden DOJ caught covering up the names of illegals linked to terrorism HERE.  * Illegal in Massachusetts charged with five counts of child rape HERE. * Another illegal charged with raping a 13-year-old girl at knifepoint HERE.   * Venezuelan gangs here illegally are moving on other apartment complexes HERE.   * Kamala’s “newcomers” make up 75% of the arrests in midtown Manhattan HERE.

* Another PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED illegal arrested over two children – ages 7 and 9 – found chained up in their Virginia apartment HERE.   * More about the illegal who stabbed a teen girl in Indiana HERE.   * More illegals from Venezuela’s Tren de Agua gang arrested at the Denver apartment complex they’ve been terrorizing HERE.   * More Colorado businesses state they’re being forced to install bullet-proof glass over illegal immigrant crime HERE.  KAMALA IS AN ACCOMPLICE TO ALL THIS.

THE ARLINGTON CEMETERY HOAX AGAINST TRUMP MASTERFULLY DECONSTRUCTED BY STATELY MCDANIEL MANOR

trump at arlingtonThe Democrats and their media outlets, which still drastically outnumber Republican outlets, have been increasing the number of hysterical anti-Trump lies lately. Anyone who still believes anti-Trump tall tales at this point is a Trump-hater who simply WANTS to believe the falsehoods.

At any rate, fellow blogger Stately McDaniel Manor did a brilliant breakdown on the lies that anti-Trump fascists told about his Arlington Cemetery visit. The Democrats’ media outlets tried to paint it in an ugly light, but the families of the slain soldiers DEFENDED TRUMP all the way.

Below is a link to Stately McDaniel Manor‘s blog post but first an excerpt setting up the story:

On the third anniversary of their deaths, Donald Trump participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for the 13 soldiers killed during the unnecessary and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. It was a largely solemn occasion, attended by Trump and the families of those who died after Kamala Harris and Joe Biden decided on a course of action that produced the most humiliating and disastrous military debacle in memory.  Harris, you’ll recall, gentle readers, repeatedly said she was “the last person in the room” when that course of action was decided, and she has no regrets.  To find every article in this series, enter “Kamala Harris Against America” in to the SMM home page search bar.

“One would think that would be the story, but Harris’ handlers and the Democrat/Socialist/Communist (D/S/C) media saw an opportunity to dirty Trump.  They claimed the photos taken at that ceremony were improper, a political stunt, taken only after a Trump Campaign member got into a physical confrontation with an Arlington official who tried to uphold the sanctity of Arlington, where no filming is supposedly allowed.

“That didn’t hold up long.  Innumerable politicians and others have been photographed at Arlington, including Joe Biden, for such ceremonies, and those present confirmed no such confrontation took place.” 

Exactly! And for the rest of Stately McDaniel Manor’s breakdown of the manufactured “controversy” click HERE.

HAS TO BE SAID: SEPTEMBER 1st

Here’s the latest “Has to be Said” post from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.

HERE IN 2024 DEMOCRATS HAVE PROVEN THAT AS FOOLISH AS THE SENTIMENT “MY COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG” MAY BE, THE SENTIMENT “OUR POLITICAL PARTY, RIGHT OR WRONG” IS FAR MORE FOOLISH AND DESTRUCTIVE. Democrats have no individual opinions. They are so insecure and so incapable of defending their opinions that they constantly take shelter in the Hivemind, parroting the talking points of The Party no matter how irrational or intolerant.

DEMOCRATS WANT A COUNTRY IN WHICH ONLY THEIR OPINIONS ARE LEGAL. The fascists called American Democrats conjure up reasons why EVERY opinion they spout must never be challenged or else it’s Hate Speech. Weaselly Democrats will pretend to find that remark unfounded, but it’s not.

           Go ahead, Democrats. Tell me one or two opinions of yours that you will NOT dogmatically and intolerantly consider above any counter-arguments or rebuttal.

          Transing children?  Nope. Democrat fascists insist that disagreeing is “transphobic” and arguing against it is “hatred.” The ridiculous Democrat claim that people who aren’t white aren’t capable of racism? Nope. Democrat fascists insist that disagreeing with such nonsense is “racist”. The Democrat belief that if a man pretends he is a woman then anyone who points out that having a penis and/or XY chromosomes proves that false should be censored, censured and, increasingly, have the authorities sicced on them. Nope. Democrats want all dissent erased.

           I could go on and on with this list of absurd Democrat statements that, if challenged, they want the challenger censored, fired and sometimes driven out of entire professions. But go ahead, Democrat fascists, provide one of your opinions that you will tolerate disagreement with and not try to deplatform – or worse – people who disagree. Democrats mistake successfully censoring someone with “being in the right.” Continue reading

AUGUST 29th ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Here’s another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, coming to you from an America where I’ve won my bets with people in 2021 that 2024 would have Kamala Harris instead of the clearly unfit and corrupt Joe Biden on the ticket.

COURAGEOUS BYRON DONALDS POINTS OUT “DEMOCRATS RULED TWELVE OF THE LAST SIXTEEN YEARS, BUT WE ONLY DID WELL UNDER TRUMP. “The ONLY TIME when we were truly prosperous was under Trump.
The ONLY TIME when we had real peace & no new wars was under Trump.
Democrats have crushed hardworking Americans.”

KAMALA HARRIS IS SO WEAK AND INEPT THAT HER FIRST INTERVIEW WILL LET HER HAVE TIM WALZ SIT WITH HER FOR MORAL SUPPORT AND WILL BE PRE-TAPED TO ALLOW THE NETWORK TO EDIT OUT HER BABBLING AND INAPPROPRIATE LAUGHTER. More HERE. Bad enough that this is only her first interview since Trump knocked Biden out of the race, but SHE NEEDS HELP JUST TO SIT THROUGH AN INTERVIEW. No other candidate for president has ever needed to be so coddled just for an interview. How moronic IS Kamala?

FAMILIES OF SERVICE MEMBERS WHO DIED IN KAMALA HARRIS’ DISASTROUS AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL DEFEND PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE THEY GAVE HIM THE OKAY FOR THE PHOTO CEREMONY AT ARLINGTON CEMETERY. The corporate media lied about it, to nobody’s surprise. Trump responds to those lies HERE.

HAS TO BE SAID: AUGUST 27th

I have a lot of new readers, so this blog post will be clarifying some of my long-held opinions for newcomers who aren’t yet used to the fact that I’m an Independent Voter and therefore neither a Democrat nor a Republican.

democrats oppressing people while*** FIRST, A COMMENT REGARDING THE WAY DEMOCRAT CONVENTIONS AND DEMOCRAT CONFERENCES OF ALL KINDS SO OFTEN START BY STATING THEIR EVENT IS BEING HELD ON “STOLEN” LAND. Hey, that also means that all of the Democrats’ mansions and multiple homes are ALSO on “stolen” land. I call for Democrats to take the initiative and give up all of those extra homes to set an example for the rest of us. As a minimum, before ANY MORE finger-wagging lectures from privileged one-percenter entertainers or athletes I want an admission from them that their many properties stand on stolen land.

           And since Democrats hate national borders and call them artificial, arbitrary lines, let’s call for treating their property lines as artificial, arbitrary lines and settle many of their beloved illegal immigrants on their properties. 

buster and charlie*** NEXT, A RELEVANT ANECDOTE REGARDING AN EXCHANGE BETWEEN CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND BUSTER KEATON, BOTH OF WHOM I’M A FAN OF. Chaplin was proclaiming “What I want is that every child should have enough to eat, shoes on his feet and a roof over his head.” Keaton’s reply was “But Charlie, do you know anyone who doesn’t want that?”

           That possibly apocryphal exchange embodies the current state of political discourse, with Chaplin’s virtue signaling statement perfectly reflecting the perpetual children who call themselves Democrats. Keaton’s reply perfectly reflects all of us NON-Democrats, who grew up at some point and accepted the fact that people who disagree with us are not automatically immoral and selfish.

           Democrats in 2024 really seem to have deluded themselves into thinking that if adults disagree with them regarding how to approach the world’s problems it means those adults DON’T want good things for children or anyone else. They’re such tiresome drama queens.  

freedom of expression is a human right*** I USED TO BE A DEMOCRAT YEARS AGO. That was when the Democrats believed in freedom of expression and other long-held Civil Liberty principles that they have completely abandoned after becoming the Political Correctness Police in the 1990s and evolving into the intolerant Woke Fascists that they are today.

           I frequently mention that I used to be a Democrat because here in the U.S. it has come to be a quick way to clarify your stands. There are now so many of us former Democrats who went Independent that it lets people know a lot about you in the least amount of words. At least here in the U.S. it does. Overseas readers have expressed confusion about why I mention it so much, so this is to clarify things for those readers.  Continue reading

SAMSON IN SILENT FILMS

Previously Balladeer’s Blog looked at variations of the Samson saga, including Islamic versions and other non-Biblical accounts. This time around I’ll examine silent movies about the long-haired strongman. 

samson and delilah doreSAMSON AND DELILAH (1902) – This 6-minute short was directed by Ferdinand Zecca, Walter Pathe’s right-hand man. This film has survived and is an interesting historical piece. It’s the earliest surviving silent movie about Samson, the iconic Zecca’s first Samson film, plus Samson and Delilah is one of the silent era shorts that were tinted by hand – frame by frame. 

Unfortunately, the production also suffers some of the worst shortcomings from that time period when silent flicks were still groping their way forward. We get painted backdrops, an unmoving camera, very limited credits, hilariously cheap props and insane levels of overacting.

samson and delilahThis 1902 effort opens with Samson’s “labor” of tearing off the gate of Gaza, then just dumping it rather than carrying it away. We get other standard bits from the tale of this Biblical Judge including, of course, the seductive Philistine woman Delilah learning that the secret of Samson’s strength lies in his uncut hair. 

She cuts his hair to rob him of his strength, then turns him over for captivity and enslavement turning a corn mill. Zecca skips having Samson blinded in this version, and in lieu of the traditional taunting by his captors in the temple of Dagon, our hero is titillated by dancing girls just out of reach.

With his strength returning, Samson tears down the structure, crushing himself and the dancing girls. His spirit is then escorted up to Heaven by angels. Zecca would revisit this subject matter in 1908. Continue reading

andy beshearDEMOCRAT ANDY BESHEAR CALLING FOR THE RAPE OF FEMALE MEMBERS OF J.D. VANCE’S FAMILY. Democrats frequently take time out from telling each other how wonderful they consider themselves to be to show the public their true nature.  

GROOMER AT THE DNC. Democrats, can you please leave children alone? 

cackling kamalaKAMALA VOWS TO RAISE TAXES AND UNDO TRUMP’S TAX CUTS. And as a non-millionaire myself, I will point out once again that it is a lie to claim that Trump’s tax cuts only benefitted the wealthy. Unlike the repulsive George W. Bush’s tax cuts, Trump’s tax cuts also helped the working class.

REAL UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES EXPOSED. The Harris-Biden Regime caught in more deception. THIRTY PERCENT LEEWAY allowed for errors. Can you imagine if Trump tried pulling that? Democrats are such hypocrites. 

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT GETS FEDERAL FUNDS TO SCAVENGE BLACK WOMAN’S SMALL BUSINESS DREAM. “Black Business woman has a message for Kamala Harris. She sobs after having to sell her food truck which was bought by an illegal immigrant who got free money from the Harris/Biden Administration.” The Democrats still feel “Illegal immigrants uber alles.”

BAD MOVIE: THE BIONIC BOY (1977)

bionic boyTHE BIONIC BOY (1977) – This joint production of the Philippines and Hong Kong starred child martial arts champion Johnson Yap from Singapore. It was also released under alternate titles like Superboy, Trionic Warrior and others.

We viewers first meet 10-year-old Sonny Lee (Johnson Yap) on a televised game show hosted by a man who looks like Liberace. I didn’t say he DRESSES like Liberace, just that his face very closely resembles the Candelabra Man.

superboySonny wins the Jackpot on the game show because he’s as intelligent as he is skilled at martial arts. When Not Liberace brings on Sonny’s parents, some gangsters watching the show see that his father is really a former Interpol agent who brought down several of their colleagues and has been living in a Witness Protection Program ever since. (Pretty stupid to let your face get televised to millions then.)

The gangsters add killing the ex-Interpol man to their To-Do List since they are in the middle of muscling in on all export businesses in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and ultimately Australia. Sonny Lee and his parents get even more publicity when Ramirez, a Manila auto magnate, announces he will give the family a new car fresh off his assembly line.  Continue reading
