NEWS ROUNDUP: NOVEMBER 17th

Time for another news roundup here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.

biden deludedPENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRAT CHARGED WITH WIDE-SCALE VOTE FRAUD.  Yet, no matter how many scandals like this get exposed, year after year, Democrat media outlets still insist this type of thing doesn’t happen.

FBI DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY ACKNOWLEDGES TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT TIK TOK.

BIDEN RIDICULED BY OTHER WORLD LEADERS AND MEDIA FOR HIS G20 BUMBLING. He’s a clown and an embarrassment. 

democrat ftx scandalTHE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORRUPTION AT FTX. More HERE. The Democrats’ second-largest donor at the heart of this latest crushing blow to the working class and the poor.

WASHINGTON POST REPORTS THAT THE FBI FOUND NO NUCLEAR SECRETS OR OTHER SUCH ITEMS IN THE MAR-A-LAGO RAID. But you’ll notice they waited until AFTER the midterm elections last week to report this. Another “the walls are closing in on Trump” farce flops. 

biden inflationTHANKSGIVING DINNER ITEMS WILL COST TWENTY PERCENT MORE THAN EVEN LAST YEAR’S MASSIVE INCREASE. Joe Biden’s disastrous inflation rages on.

WHISTLEBLOWERS CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THE ROT AT THE FBI (FUGGEDA BOUT INTEGRITY).  One of the reasons I used to be a Democrat before going independent was that Democrats used to be outspokenly critical of the FBI’s never-ending abuses. In recent history, however, Democrats are just fine with FBI corruption as long as it benefits The Party.

2022 MIDTERM RESULTS

arizona and nevadaIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the 2022 midterm elections based on what we know now. As regular readers know I despise both the Republican and Democrat Parties and would like to see them both splinter into multiple smaller parties, so I can provide a non-partisan view.

(By the way, I’m one of the few sites – either Democrat OR Republican – which did NOT pretend that some mythical Red Wave was coming. I got accused of being a “secret Democrat shill” for that, but as always, I was just offering my non-partisan take.)

First, I will provide some numbers regarding the breakdown of party seats in the House and the Senate, then later in this blog post I will provide a measured take on the results. Long-time readers know that, since 2010, I have pointed out how ridiculously the major parties overreact to midterm election results.

THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES – It seems the Republicans took back the House from Democrat control (222 seats to 213 but even that is not final. Real Clear Politics claims the Republicans have 227 seats to 208 for the Democrats.), but Republicans won fewer seats than they did in 2020, when it was the Democrats who were disappointed by how badly they did and how many seats they lost. (Democrats were claiming all that year that they would dramatically increase their seats in the House but instead they lost big.)

          arizona counting big birdWithout the Democrat losses in 2020 there is no way the Republicans would have taken back the House this time around. Hey, who was at the top of their ballot in 2020?   

THE SENATE – Going into last Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats held 50 seats and the Republicans held 50 seats. As of today, the Democrats hold 50 seats and the Republicans hold 49 seats with the December runoff election in Georgia set to decide the final division of seats. Not exactly earth-shaking changes, but you overseas readers might not know that by the typical overstatements of America’s biased media outlets, all of which favor either one party or the other.

MY VIEW OF THE RESULTS: Continue reading

UNREAL: MY LOOK AT THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS WILL BE POSTED WHEN WE GET THE FINAL RESULTS

democrats npcsIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog will take a look at the 2022 midterms when we at last know the final results. The Party’s official lie is that this is normal, and we are all supposed to ignore all those other elections we witnessed in our lifetimes in which results were tallied and announced the next day.

The Party has ordered people to believe that the long, bitter, drawn-out and increasingly questionable results that became VERY frequent beginning in 2018 have really been the norm all along.

At any rate, the Biden Regime’s disastrous economic policies that are crushing the working class and the poor have caused Consumer Confidence to drop down to the worst in four decades.  Continue reading

MARICOPA COUNTY HOLDS AMERICA HOSTAGE ONCE AGAIN

democrat vote fraudIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog wants to remind readers that Maricopa County, which has become synonymous with voting debacles, has already said that it won’t finish its vote count until after the weekend. Around the nation a few other races are still dragging out, too. It’s still not final what the exact count in the House and Senate will be, so we still don’t know where everything stands.

There are entire nations that count their vote totals in one day, as they’re supposed to do. Some of the most suspicious counties and precincts in America now take far longer than whole countries to “process” election results. Continue reading

FOOL KILLER PART 65: JUNE 1913

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT IN THE 1850s, CLICK HERE

fool killer timeless smaller versionPART 65 – Some of the Fool Killer’s targets in the June of 1913 edition of James Larkin Pearson’s version of the figure:

*** Professor George A. Hill of the Naval Observatory, for saying that the North Pole was constantly moving around.

*** The West Virginia mine owners who had been waging war on striking workers since April of 1912. In February 1913 the owners had used an armored railroad car to open machine-gun and rifle fire on the tents of sleeping miners and their family members. The war would end in July of 1913 from direct action by Governor Henry Hatfield. Continue reading

ANNUAL NOVEMBER FIFTH POST

Che Guevara 2Yes, it’s once again Guy Fawkes Day, the day Balladeer’s Blog celebrates figures who became symbols of the exact opposite things they represented in their actual lives!

Guy Fawkes was a religious fanatic whose face became a symbol of resistance against a fictional theocratic dictatorship thanks to a comic book. Che Guevara was a murderous, homophobic, racist would-be dictator depicted as a symbol of youthful rebellion thanks to the spiteful cluelessness of Left-Wing Archie Bunkers.  

Thank the forever-childish 1960s generation leftists for elevating such a repulsive and barely human creature to such heights. Even at HUFFINGTON POST the truth about blood-soaked animal Che has been written. Click HERE  

Here are some actual quotes from hatemonger Che:

“Go ahead and try them tomorrow morning — but execute them NOW!”

“We must do away with all newspapers. A revolution cannot be accomplished with freedom of the press.” 

Viva La Ignorant“Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that falls in my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood.”

“We don’t need proof to execute a man. We only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him. A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.” (Note from Balladeer: Gee, I thought the poseurs and buffoons of the American Left said they’re AGAINST “hate.”)

 “What we affirm is that we must proceed along the path of liberation even if this costs millions of atomic victims.”

Che QuoteRead more of this animal’s own words and you will see what a callous, unfeeling political fanatic this hate-filled scumbag was. He never wanted to overthrow dictatorships to help “the people”, he just wanted to overthrow them to install dictatorships more to his liking.

In other words, dictatorships that would let that bloodthirsty maniac kill as many people as he wanted. Che Guevara was a waste of biomass and was the exact opposite of what delusional and uninformed fools consider him to have been.

Oh, and by the way, Guevara spent WAY too much time contemplating and writing about his own body odor.

BANANA REPUBLIC CULTURE

democrats and violence

democrat republican or awakeIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, as always, welcomes all of you, no matter how you vote. The Biden Regime’s banana republic nature gets more and more blatant all the time. Career criminal Joe Biden stated the 2022 elections may be “illegitimate” and then blasted so-called “election deniers!” Repulsive hypocrisy.  

The Capitol police, who are supposed to be staffing security cameras at the Pelosi residence (because the privileged white one percenter Pelosis make taxpayers foot the expenses for such things) now admit that they can’t (or won’t) provide film footage of the “break-in” at the Pelosi home.

pelosi snobAmerica’s federal authorities, which lose more and more credibility by the day it seems, also claim that Capitol police WERE NOT EVEN MANNING THE CAMERAS AT THIS PARTICULAR MANSION OF THE OBSCENELY WEALTHY PELOSIS UNTIL AFTER OTHER POLICE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE.

Oops! This helps the compulsively dishonest Biden Regime obscure whatever they want to about this very questionable incident that Democrats have decided to blame on their political targets with no evidence. Well, no evidence other than a troubled man who was supposedly looking for Nancy Pelosi asking “Where’s Nancy?” (Highly inflammatory!)

biden plagBIDEN HATEMONGERS AGAIN, SAYING THAT QUESTIONING ELECTION RESULTS IS ONLY OKAY WHEN DEMOCRATS DO IT AND IT’S “DANGEROUS” WHEN OTHERS DO IT. As an Independent Voter I don’t hesitate to point out that Republican George W. Bush was “selected, not elected” and Democrats are fine with that. But when I point out that Democrat Joe Biden was “selected, not elected” Democrats fall to pieces.

hillary election denierPrivileged white one percenter Democrat and career criminal Hillary Clinton still claims she won the 2016 election and spreads tall tales that Republicans are trying to steal the 2022 and 2024 elections, then insists it’s a threat to democracy when the opposition party states such things.

The blithering Joe Biden, head of the Biden Crime Family, ranted about questioning election results last night, then pointed out that he and his political party intend to question election results that don’t go their way. Insanity!

Biden also stated that it may take several days to see if Democrats can manufacture and/or “find” enough votes for their candidates to win certain key election races around the country. Continue reading

CELEBRITIES: SHALLOW, UNINFORMED AND EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE

Crazy Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi, whose policies harm the working class and the poor.

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog notes that the Democrats – whose political party I’m ashamed to say I used to belong to before they went insane – are trying their usual election time attempt to pass off an act of violence as having been caused by their political opponents. (Remember how shortly before the 2018 midterms a disturbed man in a decorated vehicle was painted as a supporter of the political foes of the Democrats? Learn some new scams, demagogues.) 

Uh, yeah, as if an unbalanced California nudist is somehow a Trump supporter and somehow tied to the nonexistent “insurrection” (LMAO) from January 6th, 2021. The senile yet corrupt Joe Biden even dribbled out some idiocy about how breaking into a home owned by a woman named Nancy & her husband and asking “Where’s Nancy?” could ONLY mean someone is tied to an incident from nearly two years ago.

Everyone out there who has friends, co-workers or relatives named Nancy probably never realized that you were swearing political fealty whenever you happened to ask “Where’s Nancy?” Someone could probably make a fortune now from t-shirts and other merchandise that says “Where’s Nancy?” Maybe even with a public domain picture of some fictional character named Nancy.

NEWS BRIEF

democrat dumpstersWelcome back to Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog, where I take shots at both major parties! As always, no matter who you vote for you’re welcome here. I’m coming to you once again from senile yet corrupt Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy.

I’ll make my Halloween post a little later today.

JOE BIDEN LIES AGAIN, THIS TIME CLAIMING GAS WAS $5.00 PER GALLON WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY $2.39 PER GALLON AT THAT TIME. Does Biden tell the truth about anything? The good news for Joe is that his supporters are never concerned with facts, just The Party’s talking points.  

UNFIT JOE BIDEN STATES AMERICA HAS FIFTY-FOUR STATES INSTEAD OF FIFTY. Joe’s a walking, talking embarrassment.

biden the fascistAND YET ANOTHER BIG BALLOT-HARVESTING OPERATION GETS BUSTED BY AUTHORITIES. No matter how many dozens of stories come out about such electoral cheating, the corporate media STILL tries to insist there’s no evidence of any of it.

Here’s a reminder that wise words can come from almost any source: ” …  (F)ree flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.” Continue reading
