CALIFORNIA LADY: FRANK LARRABEE’S NEGLECTED BUT VERY CATCHY SONG

frank larrabeeRegular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know that all – or at least most – roads lead to bad movies with me. Since 1976 the movie Track of the Moon Beast has been a cult hit for the Psychotronic-minded and for those people who were lucky enough to catch it at various drive-ins during their heyday.

Hidden away inside that piece of 1970s schlock was the song California Lady, a catchy and fun song written and performed by Frank Larrabee. In the way that the song Recipe for Romance is associated with the movie Bloody New Year (aka Time Trap) and the song More is associated with Mondo Cane, California Lady has been bound to Track of the Moon Beast.

frank larrabee on stageFrustratingly, the song was not quite complete and had a few interruptions by dialogue from the film. For decades clearer versions of California Lady were incredibly rare. Mike Wolfer found and has uploaded two versions of the song at his YT Channel (subscribe HERE).

FRANK LARRABEE EPThe first was the studio recording of the song (below) and the second was the entire EP from Frank Larrabee. California Lady is at the 10:03 mark and is a much smoother, less worn recording of the song and is MUCH MORE LIKE THE PERFORMANCE IN THE MOVIE. No interruptions in either case, so you can enjoy this cult item the way it was meant to be heard.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY: JOE BIDEN’S FBI ADMITS IT HAS LOST THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP – AND WITH IT GOES ANY LEGITIMACY

biden and hunter drugsIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog couldn’t help but note what is basically an admission on the part of the Biden Regime that they are unfit and not legit. An admission that they are criminals in the pocket of many overseas entities including the Chinese government. That virtual admission? THE BIDEN FBI – HIS PERSONAL GESTAPO – HAS ADMITTED IN CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY THAT THEY HAVE LOST THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP AND ITS WEALTH OF EVIDENCE REGARDING THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY’S COUNTLESS SCANDALS AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. 

biden blustering like a fool

Blustering demagogue

Luckily, Congressman Matt Gaetz and others had previously copied some of the files on that laptop and just introduced those copies into the Congressional Record. This will thwart some of the Biden Regime’s attempts to destroy the evidence against them. Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley indicated that they will be bringing forth even more evidence against the Biden Crime Family.

Just one of the recent pieces of evidence against the Biden Crime Family was proof of a $100,000.00 payment funneled to Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son and Underboss, by parties in China. Just another drop in the ocean of Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling efforts.

Not since Warren G Harding and the Ohio Gang has the United States been run by a more transparently criminal outfit. By “losing” the laptop the Biden Regime has forfeited ANY benefit of the doubt on ANY of the scandals currently engulfing them.

*** AND REMEMBER – WAY BACK WHEN THE LAPTOP WAS TURNED OVER TO THE FBI, PLENTY OF PEOPLE EXPRESSED THE OPINION THAT THEY WOULD CONVENIENTLY LOSE IT, GIVEN THE ROT AT THE FBI. THOSE PEOPLE WERE DISMISSED AS “CONSPIRACY THEORISTS” YET “LOSING” THE LAPTOP IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

biden the fascistThe installed Joe Biden runs a corporate fascist state and virtual kleptocracy. He could not have achieved that without a complicit Democrat Party apparatus including the Democrats’ many media outlets – including the Big Tech fascists who protect Biden as Big Brother online. And who interfered in the 2020 presidential election by banning references to the scandals exposed by the Hunter Biden laptop (among other things). Continue reading

NEVER FORGET DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET LIES ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP AND SCANDALS

biden hunter laptop so called experts

democrat republican or awakeIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at yet ANOTHER collapse of anti-Trump and pro-Biden lies told by the Democrats and their media outlets. They lied about “Russian Collusion” (LMAO), they lied about and/or simply fabricated remarks supposedly said by Trump, and on and on. Their lies about the January 6th protests being “an insurrection” have been falling apart, too. For links to reminders about these stories see below. 

The main topic of this blog post is to remind readers of the pattern followed by these anti-Trump lies – the Democrats and their media outlets would insist the stories were true (as if those insistences were somehow proof) and would try to laugh off the skeptics as being victims of misinformation or even more insulting terms.

media biasInevitably, as the lies about Trump have fallen apart over time, the Democrats and their media outlets give a few token retractions of their earlier lies, then cover the stories as if they were not monumentally wrong about them at first. Anyone out there who still dismisses anything Trump says as lies has completely missed who keeps getting exposed as the real liars over the past seven years.

Hunter Biden’s laptop, which the Democrats and their media outlets lied about in 2020 and claimed to be “Russian disinformation” has turned out to be the source of a great deal of Biden Family scandals. Because those scandals would have harmed Joe Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020 the obedient media scoffed and openly laughed at the notion that the revelations were real.

The Democrats of social media outlets even banned posts – and sometimes closed entire accounts – over references to the “discredited” Hunter Biden laptop evidence that we have since learned over and over again was accurate information. Same as so many other Democrat and media lies over the years. This election interference clearly covered up for candidate Biden and his family’s many scandals.

“There have been no consequences. Twitter and Facebook still censor information based on political bias, and Congress takes no action. Many of the letter signers continue to be used as “experts” by the media. Clapper, for instance, spent years on CNN calling Donald Trump a “Russian asset,” a lie invented and fed by political operatives of Hillary Clinton. He’s still there. Guess accuracy is not a condition of employment.”

corporate mediaBelow are just SOME links to stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop and the evidence that the drug using, corrupt thug seems to have forgotten was on it. Also, JOE BIDEN STILL HAS MORE KIDS IN CAGES THAN TRUMP OR OBAMA HAD. But we know that Democrats never cared about those kids, they just used them as a political stick.

DEMOCRATS VS THE REST OF US: MARCH 16th

biden economic disasterIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at the Democrats’ ongoing war against the rest of us.

BIDEN’S INFLATION CAUSES FIRST-EVER DOUBLE-DIGIT RISE IN THE PRODUCER PRICE INDEX. The Democrats’ war on the working class and the poor continues.

VOTERS OF COLOR TELL BIDEN REGIME THAT BIDEN’S INFLATION IMPACTS THEM MORE. But the wealthy thrive here in Joe Biden’s corporate fascist state and kleptocracy. 

DEMOCRATS IN MAINE JOIN DEMOCRATS IN NEW YORK AND VERMONT IN ALLOWING FOREIGN NATIONALS TO VOTE IN ELECTIONS. And I will point out again that this is coming to your location eventually as Democrats keep pushing this.

biden ordered through the mailDEMOCRAT IN MICHIGAN CHARGED WITH BALLOT TAMPERING AND OTHER MISCONDUCT IN THE TAINTED 2020 ELECTION. Another example of what Democrats themselves shamelessly refer to as their “fortifying” of the corrupt 2020 election

DEMOCRATS ACCUSE HISPANIC AMERICANS WHO ARE DISGUSTED WITH THE PARTY OF BEING “WHITE NATIONALIST HISPANICS.” And we all know Democrats never abandon such idiocy, just like they started classifying Asian Americans as “White Adjacent” when Asian Americans began leaving the party, too. Democrats’ systemic racism always targets people of color who dare to question The Party.

WISCONSIN JUDGE ORDERS DEMOCRAT STATE HOUSE SPEAKER TO TURN OVER EMAILS AND TEXTS RELATED TO PROBE OF CORRUPTION IN 2020 ELECTION. The 2020 election was at least as corrupt as the 1876 and year 2000 elections. 

BIDEN REGIME RELEASED A RUSSIAN HACKER A YEAR EARLIER THAN SCHEDULED LAST AUGUST. “Russian Collusion” on Crooked Joe’s part?

And remember – BIDEN STILL HAS MORE “KIDS IN CAGES” THAN EITHER TRUMP OR OBAMA DID. Gee, how come Biden supporters don’t still hold their protests about kids being in cages? Oh, yeah, because they never really cared about those kids in the first place, they just used them as a political stick.

POLITICAL CARTOON ROUNDUP: MARCH 6th

democrat republican otherIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at some recent political cartoons and the failures of elected Democrats and Republicans. (Plus, how about Joe Biden’s latest senile gibberish. He actually said “How did we get to the place where, you know, Putin decides he’s gonna just invade Russia?”)

We start out with the item below ridiculing Joe Biden’s idiotic lie about outfighting a street hood called Corn Pop. This Tall Tale/ outrageous fabrication was always kicked off by Biden’s inane remark “Corn Pop was a bad dude …” The “bad dude” wording is typical of the way privileged white one percenter career criminals like Joe Biden feel they need to talk down to voters of color through embarrassing attempts at sounding “ghetto.”

This next one is a reminder of Joe Biden’s reputation for corruption and for getting “ten percent for the Big Guy” kicked up to him by other members of the Biden Crime Family, like his Underboss son Hunter Biden.  Continue reading

DEMOCRATS VERSUS THE REST OF US: MARCH 2nd

biden a weak failure

Joe Biden – WHO STILL HAS MORE KIDS IN CAGES THAN EITHER TRUMP OR OBAMA DID – stumbled his way through a disgracefully dishonest State of the Union address. He couldn’t pronounce “ruble”. The blithering buffoon called Ukrainians “Iranians” and mentioned “a pound of Ukrainian people.” (?) No mention of the FBI investigation of the Ashley Biden diary and its account of Joe Biden taking “inappropriate” showers with his daughter when she was a child

And 81 year old privileged white one percenter Democrat Nancy Pelosi literally wiggled out of her seat with glee and ground her knuckles together at the mention of American soldiers getting exposed to toxic burn pits. Why? Did her addled mind even comprehend what Biden said?

POLL: SIXTY-TWO PERCENT OF VOTERS SAY PUTIN WOULD NOT HAVE INVADED UKRAINE IF TRUMP WAS STILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE

biden on sanctionsbiden bloodThe latest Harvard/ Harris Poll found that sixty-two percent of the voters feel that Vlad Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump was still in the White House. Out of that 62%, 59% also said Putin invaded because he saw weakness in Joe Biden. (links below) This has resulted in the Democrats’ media outlets frantically pushing another Big Lie, this time that Trump was “praising” Putin by acknowledging the cold-hearted, calculating nature of the Russian leader and his Ukraine moves after baiting Biden into okaying an incursion.

To the rest of us – aka “adults” – it was obvious that Trump meant this the same way that some people point out the cunning and genius for atrocities shown by vile figures like Hitler or Stalin. It was not praise, just a mature observation of how Putin had outmaneuvered the weak and overmatched Joe Biden.

(By the way, the shouder-mounted Javelin missile weaponry that is so damaging to the Russian invaders was PROVIDED TO UKRAINE BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.) Continue reading
