FLASHBACK: AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL NAMES BARACK OBAMA A WAR CRIMINAL AND HUFFINGTON POST CALLS HIS WAR ON PRESS FREEDOM “A DICTATOR’S DREAM.”

FROM NOVEMBER 9th, 2013. Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Barack Obama are the two presidents I despise the most, but nobody is surprised at what garbage Bush was. Obama loons like to ignore the criticism he received in office. Even when language like “war criminal” and “dictator’s dream” were used to describe Obama, it never approached the hysteria seen in the Trump years. 

A piece of political sewage who bubbled and gurgled up from the cesspool of Chicago politics.

A piece of political sewage who bubbled and gurgled up from the cesspool of Chicago politics.

It’s no secret that the Obama administration may well be the most corrupt and abusive in history. And I’m the furthest thing from a Conservative you can find. I could fill this site every day with stories about the ongoing developments in the countless investigations into this weak, inept and crooked little man but we’d all get bored with the repetitious coverage of this criminal’s venality, pomposity and general douchebaggery. (To borrow a phrase from Ted White)

“Not only did one of Little Barry’s usual lapdogs, the Huffington Post, declare his war on free speech to be “a dictator’s dream” but Amnesty International quite rightly declared him a war criminal, largely for his incessant use of drones to kill and kill and kill. Continue reading

NEWS ROUNDUP FOR NOVEMBER TWENTY-EIGHTH

Another current events roundup courtesy of Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog, from an America where Democrat members of Congress now demonize National Guard members to the point where they get shot right in Washington D.C. And by the way, if the trial is located in D.C. the Democrat jury members will not find the killer guilty and we all know it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2025!

happy t givingHAPPY THANKSGIVING! Enjoy this holiday and the hope for peaceful coexistence represented by the possibly mythic meal that it commemorates. The kind of self-righteous killjoys who bash Thanksgiving are the type of sanctimonious idiots that are fun to laugh at since they have no identity outside of their ephemeral political concerns.

Whether you consider the tale of the first Thanksgiving to be literal or aspirational, enjoy yourselves! Be thankful that you’re not one of those heartless people who try to pollute every happy gathering with divisiveness and turn it into a showcase for the simple-minded, ankle-biting political remarks that those people laughably think are Really Deep.

How sad is it that every year they circulate those articles about which brainless talking points they should use to harass the adults at the Thanksgiving Day table?

DEMOCRAT SENATOR SLOTKIN ADMITS PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS NOT GIVEN ILLEGAL ORDERS TO THE MILITARY. Yet anti-Trump imbeciles STILL fall for every absurd lie that Democrats tell about him, even though the lies have gone down in flames over the past ten years. Anti-Trump fundamentalists remain the most ignorant, uninformed and emotionally unstable people I’ve ever seen.

FLASHBACK: AND YET ANOTHER FORMER DEMOCRAT WEIGHS IN

BALLADEER’S BLOG

FROM APRIL 18th, 2016 – Regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know I used to be a Democrat before leaving the Party to become an Independent Voter because of how unhinged and intolerant Democrats have become. 

“Michael Faraday is another in the long line of people that the increasingly demented political left has driven away. So here are some more reflections from somebody else who became disgusted with the complacent and self-infatuated left – especially the close-minded classroom liberals of the 1960s generation that Faraday came from. His remarks – 

For the millions raised as leftists, it is not an ideology; it is a culture. Since childhood, they have lived and breathed it every day in the home. They know nothing else. Like any culture, it is a way of speaking, thinking and acting, with its own narratives and rituals. Narratives are held sacred, repeated, reinforced and, over time, added to. That which challenges sacred narratives, even reality itself, is met with confusion and hostility.”

Leftists combine child-like naïveté and paranoid aggression in all of their narratives. It is a remarkable and very damaging pairing. The child-like naïveté protects the narrative from facts while the paranoid aggression protects the mind from doubt.”

It (21st century leftism) harnesses together childish emotions and paranoid thought processes. Its narratives are a filter that reality has to try to struggle through, often failing. The child-like thinking solves all problems without pesky details and facts interfering, leading to delusions of intellectual brilliance.” (Balladeer: Especially true of American Democrats Continue reading

RYAN O’NEAL: FORGOTTEN FILMS (1969-1981)

RYAN O’NEAL – Let’s face it, Errol Flynn himself probably looked down from above with envy when it came to Ryan O’Neal’s escapades with women. And it’s a cinch that Flynn would have envied O’Neal’s acting talent, which was never spectacular but was above that of many of Hollywood’s biggest names.

In addition to the love of his life Farrah Fawcett, a partial list of the beautiful ladies who had romances with Ryan includes Joan Collins, Jacqueline Bisset, Diana Ross, Ursula Andress, Anouk Aimee and Leigh Taylor-Young. His first wife Joanna Moore praised O’Neal as “an incredible lover … totally devoted to giving a woman pleasure.” 

Ryan tried his hand at boxing, then started his film career as a stuntman before gravitating to acting. At one time he was the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, but his legendary partying and volatile behavior ultimately led to him being passed over for roles that might have cemented him as an upper tier thespian in Hollywood.

In this blog post I won’t be covering Ryan O’Neal’s well-known movies like Love Story, Paper Moon, What’s Up, Doc?, Barry Lyndon, The Driver, The Main Event and others. Nor will I cover his ensemble cast flicks like A Bridge Too Far.   

GREEN ICE (1981) – Sadly, by 1981 the age of classic heist films like Rififi was long over and that may have contributed to the less than stellar box office results for this project. Ryan O’Neal starred as Joseph Wiley, a former engineer turned adventuring globe-trotter.

In Mexico, Wiley meets Anne Archer playing Lillian Holbrook, a diamond heiress running away from the life led by her stuffy family. Omar Sharif is Meno Argenti, Holbrook’s co-conspirator in a network of Colombian emerald smugglers. (Emeralds are the “green ice” of the title.)

An attempt on his life drives Wiley closer to Lillian and Argenti, but after intrigues and double-crosses involving Colombian rebels, Lillian’s missing sister and clashes with the corrupt Colombian government, Argenti emerges as the main villain.   

Meno has hoarded emeralds that were originally intended to finance the rebels and stores them in his high-tech, supposedly impregnable vault in his penthouse atop a Colombian skyscraper. Joe Wiley and Lillian Holbrook recruit Miguel (Domingo Ambriz) and Claude (THE John Larroquette) in a heist involving one-man hot-air balloons and assorted technology to steal the emeralds from Argenti’s vault.

NOVEMBER SEVENTEENTH NEWS ROUNDUP

Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog serves up a current events roundup.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP CALLS FOR THE HOUSE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES SO THE COUNTRY CAN FINALLY “MOVE ON FROM THIS DEMOCRAT HOAX.” But we all know that unless the information in those files is damning to Trump his deranged haters will just cry coverup, etc.   Remember their unhinged push to have Trump release years’ worth of tax returns and the returns proved he did nothing wrong? Yet they haven’t called for any other elected figure to have to release their returns.

PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST SAYS SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF HIS PATIENTS HAVE TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. Not at all surprising. We see it in action every day. More HERE. And HERE. Some excerpts: “Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert says that 75% of the patients he sees have a deep hatred for Trump and are ‘hyper fixated’ on him.” They hate him, but he is, after all, president of the United States, and they can’t bear to stop following politics closely enough to regain some perspective and serenity.       

Typical anti-Trump fundamentalist

They can’t sleep,” Alpert said, because “they feel traumatized by Mr. Trump.” … “I had one patient who said she couldn’t enjoy a vacation because anytime she saw Trump in the news or on her device, she felt triggered…. So this is a profound pathology, and I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time.” 

NOTE: I’ve been saying for years that people will someday look back on the slobbering psychopaths’ reaction to President Trump the same way we look back on the “Satanic Panic” in the 1980s. I even used it for the title of a blog post long ago.

PRESIDENT TRUMP PAUSES WORK TO VISIT WITH CHILDREN IN THE OVAL OFFICE
