FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION RECORDS REVEAL THAT THE DEMOCRAT NATIONAL COMMITTEE HAS FUNNELED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO LAW FIRMS INVOLVED IN PERSECUTING OPPOSITION LEADER TRUMP. We have become the kind of country so many of our grandparents fled from.

BIPARTISAN LEGAL ADVISORY GROUP DECLARES THE WITCH-HUNTING JANUARY SIXTH COMMITTEE WAS ILLEGITIMATE AND SO WERE ANY SUBPOENAS IT ISSUED.

CNN IMPLEMENTING A 1-2 MINUTE DELAY FOR TONIGHT’S PRESIDENTIAL “DEBATE.” An additional way for them to prop up Joe Biden by deciding what President Trump is allowed to say.

CNN’S PRESIDENTIAL “DEBATE” HOSTS FOR TONIGHT HAVE HISTORY OF COMPARING TRUMP TO HITLER, PLUS MORE. More HERE. I have no idea why President Trump and his people were stupid enough to okay the conditions Biden demanded for this. These days presidential debates – even in more sedate times – have become virtually meaningless. No matter what happens, both sides claim that their candidate won and that the other side lied.

JUNE TWENTIETH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

From the land of career criminal Joe “not competent to stand trial” Biden, it’s time for another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.

allison hOBAMA’S ALLISON HUYNH SWITCHES TO SUPPORTING TRUMP AND PRAISES HIS POLICIES OVER THE DISASTROUS POLICIES OF THE DEMOCRATS’ BIDEN REGIME. Some excerpts:

“He (Trump) was light and funny and intelligent.”“I was happy with how knowledgeable Trump is about what is going on with the country and the economy,” she continued. “He had the information. He is all there with the things that matter” 

        “I am all for hardworking immigrants, but not for open admission of immigrants. We have to differentiate between legal immigrants who come here and work hard and illegal immigrants who come here and commit crimes,” she said.

cori bushDEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN CORI BUSH MAKES THE DERANGED CLAIM THAT GOD GAVE HER POWERS TO CURE CANCER AND TREAT TUMORS THROUGH MIRACLES. And yes, this REALLY happened. Had a member of the opposition party made this remark the story would rightfully be everywhere and would be brought up in every subsequent news story about them because the Democrats understand how to use their media outlets. The Republicans are so inept with their own media outlets that this incident will be all but forgotten soon.

BIDEN REGIME’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL (PER THE SUPREME COURT) ELIMINATION OF STUDENT LOAN DEBT FOR SELECT DEMOCRATS PRODUCES ANOTHER APPALLING REPORT. Biden still ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision. Impeachments have been launched over far less. Continue reading

2024 JUNETEENTH – MARKING THE DAY DEMOCRATS LOST THEIR SLAVES

democrats kkkIndependent 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. 

Joe Biden, embodying the grotesque hypocrisy of that detestable political party, EULOGIZED A KLANSMAN – DEMOCRAT SENATOR ROBERT BYRD – yet Biden thinks he’s fit to give finger-wagging lectures to the rest of us. (If this post upsets you, tell the Democrats to stop politicizing Juneteenth by pretending they had nothing to do with slavery, or the Ku Klux Klan, or Jim Crow, etc.) Continue reading

MICHELLE FROM FORCE OF LIGHT ON STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE

michelle from force of light entertainmentMany readers have been asking me about my take on the latest Disney show by Harvey Weinstein’s former personal assistant Leslye Headland – The Acolyte. I checked out of Star Wars quite a few years ago, so I’m not up to date on all the Disney debacles.

Regular readers may remember my 2022 shout out to Force of Light Entertainment, a terrific YT channel by two sisters named Michelle and Natalie. Michelle (who has a PhD by the way) has kept current with the IP and skillfully dissects The Acolyte through its first three episodes.

force of light entertainmentThis pathetic series is apparently every bit as horrible as we’ve heard, but Michelle is much less sarcastic than I am when I write reviews, so her approach may be more appealing. Below is her take on the first two Acolyte episodes, but for Michelle’s review of the execrable third episode AND to subscribe to the channel Force of Light Entertainment, click HERE
