Balladeer’s Blog provides a look at the midterm elections for overseas readers since so many of you have asked for clarification amid the Democrat versus Republican smoke-blowing since Tuesday night. As always I’m a bit moved and humbled when you readers ask me to cut through some of the confusion since you know that I dislike both parties equally. So I will be 100% sincere with my impression of the 2018 midterms.
ONE – There was no “Blue Wave” despite the corporate media’s 24/7 propaganda blitz.
TWO – Historically the political party that does NOT have the White House does very well in the midterms and it is always noteworthy when the President’s party does NOT lose large numbers of seats in Congress.
For instance, in Barack Obama’s first midterms he lost SIXTY-THREE seats in the House of Representatives AND lost 6 Senate seats. Bill Clinton ( Full disclosure: I liked Bill Clinton almost as much as I like Trump.) lost FIFTY-FOUR seats. Here in Trump’s first midterms he lost 30-some.
That math makes it indisputable that he did better than Obama and Clinton in their first midterms. Does this prove he’s more popular than those two? I don’t think so, but I also would not have felt it made him LESS popular than them if he had done WORSE than those two. Too many variables in midterms, especially with a de facto Third Party Wild Card like Donald Trump in the White House.
In addition, Trump’s nominal party, the Republicans, defied the usual midterm results by GAINING seats in the Senate.
THREE – The Democrats’ usual, tired and so-transparent “chance discovery” of thousands of “uncounted” votes has become expected at this point in close races. (Look up Broward County, Florida’s long history of this anywhere you like.)
“Miraculously” this only ever happens in districts controlled by the Democrats and equally miraculously these “discovered uncounted votes” ALWAYS help the Democrat candidates. This has been going on for AT LEAST two decades but the clueless Republicans have always failed to do anything about it.
If Republican districts did this every two years by discovering boxes full of uncounted votes that help THEIR candidates they would rightfully be nailed to the wall by the media, but the Democrats’ media outlets so massively outnumber the Republicans’ media outlets that the Dems’ obvious chicanery is never given the coverage it deserves.
This all goes back to the biggest failure of the money and power people on the Republican side – the failure to keep up with the opposition party in the media arms race. In typical fashion, Republican rich pigs’ obsession with profits to the exclusion of all else caused this. Since you can’t measure media impact on a profit and loss sheet the GOP plutocrats let the Democrats get so far ahead in this area that it causes the loss of many, many OTHER battles in the political arena.
FOUR – Democrat fanatics are ALREADY pushing ridiculous conspiracy theories that Trump will declare a crisis when his two terms (if he gets two) are up and cancel all further elections. I despised George W Bush AND Barack Obama but I NEVER bought into the ridiculous conspiracy theories claiming each one of THEM was going to conjure up an excuse to cling to power when their two terms were up. CAN WE AT LEAST SHOW ENOUGH SANITY TO NOT GO DOWN THIS SAME ROAD A THIRD PRESIDENT IN A ROW?

Balladeer’s Blog’s readers have spoken! You’ve asked for a long, “super-cut” collection of all my New Democrat Slogans blog posts in one entry. We’ll start out with a few brand-new ones followed by all the previous mock slogans.
Yumiko Blaschko is one of the countless women of color courageously defying the outdated and intolerant Democrats. Blaschko is a senior associate at the McGonigle Group.
It’s been awhile but here are some new suggested slogans for the totalitarian psychopaths who still call themselves Democrats. FOR ONE OF THE MANY RUNNING TALLIES ON POLITICAL VIOLENCE RECENTLY COMMITTED BY DEMOCRATS CLICK
*** YOU PEASANTS ARE ALLOWED TO SAY, DO, WRITE OR POST ON THE INTERNET ONLY THOSE THINGS WHICH DON’T UPSET US DEMOCRATS.
Balladeer’s Blog has often covered Candace Owens, a Martin Luther King Woman of Courage. Candace has officially made #BLEXIT the name of the ongoing switch of so many black voters to de facto Third Party President Donald Trump, simultaneously exiting the Democrat Party.
KHALIQ RODRIQUEZ, ANOTHER MARTIN LUTHER KING PERSON OF COURAGE CENSORED BY WHITE ONE PERCENTER JACK DORSEY’S TWITTER THUGS –
After yesterday’s arrival and meet’n’greet today is the “March” part of the #WALKAWAY MARCH ON WASHINGTON. All of the members of #WALKAWAY decided to do just that from the ever-increasing insanity of the Democrats. I became an Independent voter long ago.
“We are walking away from the lies, the hate, the violence, and vandalism. We are walking away from the vitriol, the name-calling, the censorship, the Fake News. We are walking away from the phony and crooked investigations, the divisiveness, the race-baiting. We are walking away from the attacks on our America. It is time to fight back with the greatest weapon at our disposal—the truth.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MOZART, THE FASCISTS WHO HATE HIM ARE COLLECTIVELY SALIERE – Since I despise the Democrats and Republicans I have been thoroughly enjoying the way de facto Third Party President Donald Trump has been rocking the crooked boat of Washington, DC.
BATTLING BILLIONAIRES – As I’ve often said, if we absolutely HAVE to have a tycoon as President at least let it be a tycoon with a sense of noblesse oblige, like Democrats Franklin Roosevelt and John F Kennedy.
FEMALE JOURNALIST ASRA NOMANI HAS THE BEST BREAKDOWN ON GEORGE SOROS – I’ll just use an excerpt from Ms Nomani’s recent article on Soros and his front organizations. NOMANI LAYS THEM OUT LIKE THE GREAT IDA TARBELL NAILING STANDARD OIL LONG AGO!
“On Saturday I also studied the fine print on the signs as protesters waved them defiantly at the Capitol and the high court. They came from a familiar list of Democratic interest groups that have received millions from Mr. Soros: the American Civil Liberties Union, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the Center for Popular Democracy, Human Rights Campaign and on and on. MoveOn.org, a Democratic organizing and lobbying group founded with Soros money, sent its army of partisan followers regular missives that led them to a Google form to ask for train tickets and places to stay. …
It’s no secret that make-believe “educators” (LMAO) have – through their political intolerance – reduced colleges and universities to faith-based institutions that are as irrational as any religious “schools.”
Mary Harris Jones aka “Mother” Jones has once again reached out posthumously to Balladeer’s Blog. She’s as big a fan of President Donald Trump as ever and despite my efforts to rein in her enthusiasm she once again praised him for saving the economy and for helping the working class and the poor of all colors just like she did.
SUPERVERSIVE PRESS: MAGA 2020 & BEYOND – Mother Jones: “This is a terrific anthology from more than a dozen contributing authors! It features fiction and some non-fiction essays about President Donald Trump, who is the new FDR, JFK and Harry Truman in one.”
JESSE LEE PETERSON: ANOTHER PERSON OF COLOR WHO SUPPORTS TRUMP – Mother Jones: “Mr Peterson is very eloquent and capably deconstructs the Democrats’ false claims that they and they alone are fit to define “Social Justice.”
