Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog is here with a Friday current events roundup.
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES RESULTED IN OVER ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND NEW JOBS IN OCTOBER. But Democrats used their overwhelming edge in media outlets to sell too many voters on their false premises about the economy. Just as Franklin Roosevelt JUNIOR once good-naturedly reminded voters who complained about income taxes that “they didn’t have incomes TO tax before my daddy’s policies”, this year was a case of many voters forgetting that without Trump’s jobs they’d have even MORE trouble with prices THAT STILL AREN’T AS HIGH AS THEY WERE WHEN BIDEN WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Apparently, gas-lighting voters about “affordability” is the new thing from Democrats. (By the way, unemployment fell to four point one percent, too.)
JOBLESS CLAIMS FALL TO FIFTY-SEVEN YEAR LOW. “But … but Democrats said Trump was bad.”
ICE TAKES IN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CONVICTED OF ASSAULT, CHILD MOLESTATION, ATTEMPTED MURDER AND MORE. As usual, the only reason they were still at large is because of Democrat “sanctuary” policies. Never any sanctuary for victims under Democrats, only for perpetrators.
DEMOCRAT MEDIA OUTLET SALON GOES OUT OF BUSINESS.
DEMOCRAT NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN KEN MARTIN SAYS “NO, WOKE IS NOT COMING BACK.” Which will surprise uninformed Democrats who pretend Woke never existed. Continue reading
HERE AT BALLADEER’S BLOG I USED TO RUN THIS ITEM EVERY FEW YEARS. IT’S ABOUT THE WAY BOTH MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES – AND MANY OF THEIR VOTERS – DRASTICALLY OVERREACT TO ELECTION RESULTS. The words below have reflected my effort to cheer up the losing party and temper the gloating of the winning party ever since 2012. Here we go: 
“THE REALITY: The Democrats GAINED congressional seats in the 1996 election and Bill Clinton won a second term by trouncing Republican Bob Dole.
NOTE: Well, another Midterm Election cycle went the usual and expected way. Long time readers of Balladeer’s Blog may recall that – no matter who is in the White House – since 2010 I have been saying that America’s congressional candidates from BOTH parties should stop blaming their midterm losses on whoever the president is and accept responsibility. 
AND A REMINDER FOR ANYONE BLAMING TRUMP ALONE FOR THE “DO-NOTHING” REPUBLICAN LOSSES THIS YEAR. IN BARACK OBAMA’S FINAL MIDTERMS IN 2014 HIS PARTY, THE DEMOCRATS, LOST IN A SWEEP, TOO. They lost SIXTY-THREE SEATS IN THE HOUSE and ANOTHER SIX IN THE SENATE. The Republicans ended up with – you ready for this – 54 seats in the Senate and 247 seats in the House. Almost identical to what this year’s result was for Democrats. So, unless you’re saying that 2014 result meant that the country was rejecting Barack Obama in disgrace, don’t bother saying that about Trump, either.
