FLASHBACK: CALIFORNIA WOMAN SAYS “FELLOW LIBERALS, I’M TIRED OF YOU.”

FROM DECEMBER 23rd, 2016, amid the unhinged Democrat overreaction to Trump’s election for his first term. If anything, they’ve grown even worse and certainly more violent.

DEMOCRAT PARTY

Here is ANOTHER former Democrat like me expressing their disgust with what clueless, uninformed Democrats have fundamentally transformed Liberalism into. The link to the whole item is below, but here are some excerpts from her piece:  

” … I want to share with you, from the liberal bastion of Northern California, that I am officially tired of the type of people who have surrounded me my entire life. In the wake of Trump’s election, I am experiencing ‘tribe fatigue.’ I’m not tired of The Other, Detestable Tribe. I’m tired of my own.

“I was raised a secular liberal. My college professors were secular liberals. During my journalism phase, my newspaper colleagues were secular liberals. My law school professors and peers were – in the vast majority – secular liberals. Almost everyone at my corporate law firm was a secular liberal. My California neighbors and friends are secular liberals, as are my colleagues. My mother, siblings, and their spouses are all secular liberals.

By all rights, I should be a member in good standing of their tribe, ‘liking’ their Facebook posts and joining their candlelight vigils against the evil Trump Administration. But November 8 and its aftermath revealed to me that I am just so tired of these people. I can’t be like them, and I don’t want my kids turning into them.

“I am tired of their undisguised contempt for tens of millions of Americans, with no effort to temper their response to the election with humility or empathy.

“I am tired of their unexamined snobbery and condescension.

“I am tired of their name-calling and virtue-signaling as signs of supposedly high intelligence.

“I am tired of their trendiness, jumping on every left-liberal bandwagon that comes along (transgender activism, anyone?) and then acting like anyone not on board is an idiot/hater.

“I am tired of being bored and exasperated by everybody. I feel like I have read this book a thousand times, and there are no surprises in it. Down with Trump! Trans Lives Matter! Climate deniers are destroying the planet! No cake, we’re gluten-free! Continue reading

NEWS ROUNDUP: NOVEMBER FOURTEENTH

Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.

CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS BLOCK RELEASE OF EPSTEIN FILES.   Congressman Burchett called the Democrats’ bluff with a motion to do what they claim they want – transparency on the Epstein files – but they voted to block it. This Epstein frenzy is just another “Russia, Russia, Russia” style lie against President Trump. The Democrats obviously prefer to just leak isolated bits from the files cherry-picked to mislead people into thinking Trump was involved somehow.

A REMINDER THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES AND MICHAEL WOLFF (LEFT) “BEGGED” EPSTEIN FOR DIRT ON DONALD TRUMP BUT CAME UP EMPTY. How many times will Democrats push this farce? And how stupid are the people who still fall for it every single time? 

A LOOK AT THE MANY, MANY EMAILS THAT CLEAR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND INDICATE EPSTEIN’S PARANOIA THAT TRUMP WAS OUT TO GET HIM DECADES AGO. More HERE.    

DEMOCRATS, AFTER LYING THAT TRUMP SPENT THANKSGIVING OF 2017 WITH EPSTEIN, FINALLY DELETE THEIR CLAIM. Do 2025 Democrats EVER tell the truth?     

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP (WHO STILL SPEAKS MORE LANGUAGES THAN BOTH OBAMAS COMBINED) LAUNCH INITIATIVE TO HELP FOSTER CHILDREN.

DEMOCRATS AND THEIR MEDIA OUTLETS IGNORE WHAT THE JUST-RELEASED EPSTEIN EMAILS REVEAL ABOUT BILL CLINTON AND ABOUT OBAMA OFFICIALS. More HERE.    

AND REMEMBER THAT REDACTED VICTIM THAT DEMOCRATS IMPLIED TRUMP HAD MISCONDUCT WITH? IT WAS REALLY VIRGINIA GIUFFRE, WHO HAS ALREADY TESTIFIED THAT TRUMP WAS NOT INVOLVED IN EPSTEIN’S CRIMES. More HERE. Continue reading

MONDO CHARLES BRONSON: HIS MOST UNUSUAL MOVIES

Charles Buchinsky, better known as Charles Bronson, was a World War Two veteran who went on to superstardom as one of the most iconic “tough guys” in film history.

Balladeer’s Blog has reviewed several of his westerns so far, but this time I’ll examine Bronson’s offbeat, uncharacteristic starring roles. 

SOMEONE BEHIND THE DOOR (1971) – This Eurothriller directed by Nicolas Gessner was also released as Two Minds for Murder. Charles Bronson stars as an amnesiac patient of sinister brain-surgeon and psychiatrist Laurence Jeffries (Anthony Perkins himself).

Jeffries knows his wife is cheating on him and subjects Bronson – billed as the Stranger – to unethical psychological programming to make him think the brain surgeon-psychiatrist’s wife is really his wife, then manipulate him into murdering her.

In the role of unfaithful wife Frances Jeffries is Bronson’s wife Jill Ireland, since we’re in the period when Charles dragged her into everything with him like she was Linda McCartney to his Paul. The story isn’t plausible, of course, but artsy Eurothrillers always accentuated atmosphere and “what if” situations over realistic plots. 

Anthony Perkins tones down his twitchiness a bit and Bronson is credible as the manipulated amnesiac thinking he’s met the wife his memory loss wiped from his mind.

To say anything more would give away too many spoilers. Continue reading

FLASHBACK: ENGLAND’S NICK COHEN ON HOW THE LEFT BECAME APPALLING

From February 17th, 2016. Back when I was still referring to American Democrats as Liberals before I went along with reader requests to just say Democrats instead because they were no longer liberal and were, in fact, very illiberal.

Nick Cohen

“I make no secret of the fact that I’m tired of the outdated Liberal vs Conservative paradigm. I considered myself a Liberal back before the political left became constrictive and totalitarian … I periodically post about fellow former leftists who have also recognized that Liberals throughout the Western World have become everything they pretend to oppose. They’re just better at P.R. than right-wingers are.”

England’s Nick Cohen made plenty of remarks I can relate to:

(A Liberal) cannot break with the pressures that enforce conformity in his left-wing world and accept the real reason why many leave the left. It ought to be obvious. The left is why they leave the left. Never more so than today.”

“The shift of left-wing thought towards movements it would once have denounced as racist, imperialist and fascistic has been building for years. I come from a left-wing family … and I don’t regret any of it. But slowly, too slowly I am ashamed to say, I began to notice that left-wing politics had turned rancid. Continue reading

NEWS ROUNDUP FOR NOVEMBER TENTH

Here’s a Monday current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog here in an America where, now that the Senate advanced the measure to “reopen” the government on to the House, we’re closer to the period after every shutdown where both political parties claim they “won” that shutdown.

BBC DIRECTOR GENERAL AND THE HEAD OF THEIR “NEWS” DIVISION FORCED TO RESIGN OVER PROPAGANDISTIC AND DECEPTIVE ANTI-TRUMP BROADCAST. Splicing and recutting footage completely distorted Trump’s words and actions. So, business as usual at anti-Trump media outlets, except this time they were held accountable. Trump reacts HERE.

NEW HAMPSHIRE’S CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRAT STACIE LAUGHTON PLEADS GUILTY TO THE SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN. More HERE. Democrats, can you please leave children alone? If you don’t remember Laughton, he was praised by The Party as “the first openly transgender candidate elected to a state legislature.”  

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

DISGRACED, PRIVILEGED WHITE ONE PERCENTER DEMOCRAT NANCY PELOSI FINALLY REMOVES HERSELF FROM CONGRESS. Her disastrous terms as Speaker of the House caused the Democrats to lose their majority two times, but The Party will praise her as she goes out the door, of course. That’s politics!

NANCY PELOSI’S INSIDER TRADING SCANDALS GO BACK MANY YEARS. Yet anti-Trump hypocrites never called for HER to provide several years’ worth of tax returns. And remember how her husband’s business conveniently got awarded lucrative government contracts over the decades? Nancy embodied the Swamp.   

PELOSI’S CORRUPT LEGACY CALLED OUT. She’s now worth two hundred eighty million dollars

BABYLON BEE’S MASTERFUL SATIRE ABOUT PELOSI’S CORRUPTION AND INSIDER TRADING. Some excerpts: “Having long been in the privileged position of using her status as a Washington power player to pad her impressive stock portfolio, Pelosi now faced the the grim reality of having to trade stocks without insider info just like a regular peasant.”  …  “It’ll be the total opposite of what I’m used to,” Pelosi reportedly told her aides. “Once I retire from public office, I’ll be forced to trade stocks blindly, just like the rest of the schmucks and peons I’ve governed for the last four decades. It’s beneath me, honestly. How am I supposed to make millions of dollars off of shady stock trades now?”  Continue reading

DEMOCRAT HARRY TRUMAN’S WORLD WAR ONE MILITARY SERVICE

Harry Truman World War One

Harry Truman in World War One

Veterans Day is two days from now so Balladeer’s Blog is presenting another look at World War One since November 11th marks the date that war ended.

HARRY S TRUMAN, CAPTAIN OF BATTERY D – This future Senator, future Vice President and future President is credited with one of my favorite quotes: “There’s nothing new in the world except the history you don’t know.”

That Show-Me State Seneca was in charge of Artillery Battery D, a hard-fighting unit that was often deployed well forward, in the heart of the action. During the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in 1918 Truman’s Battery D provided fire in support of the young George Patton’s tank brigade. “Captain Harry’s” boys engaged German field guns, eliminating and forcing the abandonment of enemy batteries at a noteworthy rate.

NEWS ROUNDUP FOR NOVEMBER SEVENTH

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

PRESIDENT TRUMP ADDS A FOURTH AND FIFTH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY TO HIS COALITION TO SUBSTANTIALLY DROP PRICES ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. He’s the greatest president for the working class and the poor during my lifetime. More HERE. And HERE.  

AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW & JUSTICE STEPS IN TO HELP THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS THAT JACK SMITH AND HIS BIDEN REGIME ALLIES ILLEGALLY SPIED ON. Democrat fascism is as ugly as ever.

AND ANOTHER HIGHER COURT SMACKS LOWER COURT WHICH ILLEGALLY RULED AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP. More HERE. Vast implications in where this may go.    SEPARATE CASE: SUPREME COURT GIVES TRUMP ANOTHER WIN. Again we see he’s no “dictator” since he pauses until higher courts okay his actions. But Trump-haters are too deranged to realize that.

IN HOUSTON, ICE ARRESTS OVER ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GUILTY OF ADDITIONAL CRIMES LIKE MURDER, GANG ACTIVITY AND CHILD RAPE. More HERE. Democrats would probably like to vote for every single one of them.      MORE THAN THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND AMERICANS APPLY TO JOIN PRESIDENT TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION ENFORCERS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TELLS DEMOCRAT SCHUMER TO STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH PEOPLE’S LIVES AND REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. Are ugly shutdowns like this going to be the new norm in the Democrats’ repulsive repertoire?    DEMOCRAT SENATOR MURPHY SAYS DEMOCRATS MUST KEEP THE SHUTDOWN GOING FOR THE SAKE OF THE PARTY’S “BRAND.” So incredibly callous.  

HEROIC DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM HELPS ENLIST ECUADOR’S ASSISTANCE IN ENDING DRUG TRAFFICKING FROM THE REGION. Someone who gets things done is always better than worthless man-children who gutlessly sit on the sidelines and impotently make fun of people.

DEMOCRATS VOW TO CONTINUE THEIR SHUTDOWN. Still insisting on undoing what the voters wanted. Will clueless Congressional Republicans preserve the filibuster only to see the Democrats get rid of it the next time they control Congress? They still don’t get the new terms of engagement. Continue reading

ANNUAL NOVEMBER FIFTH POST: 2025

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. Continue reading

NOV FIFTH NEWS: EVERYWHERE DEMOCRATS WON LAST NIGHT WERE AREAS THAT VOTED FOR KAMALA LAST YEAR

Regular readers of Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog may recall that one of the things I laugh about the loudest is the way that both major political parties in America overreact to off-year elections. Last night’s results would be news if places that voted for Trump in 2024 suddenly voted for Democrats. That didn’t happen. Areas that voted for Kamala Harris last year are still voting Democrat.
