In the 3rd Quarter the Royals knotted things up at 6-6 and the 4th saw Warner University go up 13-6. Webber International made it a 13-12 game late but failed at the PAT as the Royals won out 13-12.

The Nighthawks dominated on both sides of the ball, converting a 20-0 opening Quarter lead into a 53-0 advantage at the Half. From there Thomas U. coasted to a SEVENTY-ONE to NOTHING annihilation of Reinhardt. Alexa Wilson of the Nighthawks passed for 23 of 27 for 230 yards and 8 touchdowns. Continue reading

EL AGUILA: NEGLECTED MARVEL HERO PLUS A FUNNY DC SITE

el aguilaThis weekend’s light-hearted and escapist superhero post from Balladeer’s Blog is a Double Feature. The main event is a look at the early adventures of Marvel’s neglected hero El Aguila (the Eagle).

The opening act is a link to the YT channel Justice League Abridged which features HILARIOUS joking dialogue over scenes from some of the animated Justice League cartoons. It’s made recently enough to feature several jokes about the disastrous video game with the Suicide Squad killing the Justice League. CLICK HERE.

Secret Identity: Alejandro Montoya

Before I examine his first several appearances in the 1970s and 1980s below, here’s a brief overview of his origin and powers. Alejandro Montoya was a mutant. He was born into abject poverty in Spain but after puberty his mutant powers manifested themselves.

Upon contact with metal, Alejandro could conduct massive amounts of bioelectricity through those metal objects. This was similar to the way Black Tom Cassidy conducts his mutant energies through wood, or the way Gambit uses physical contact with objects to unleash their kinetic energy.

el aguila picThrough trial and error, Alejandro found that long, slender metal objects were the best conductors for his bioelectricity and gave him the most accuracy with his energy blasts. He began using a sword through which to shoot his rays but to conceal his mutant nature publicly pretended his swords contained micro-generators that accounted for the rays he projected. 

Alejandro adopted the costumed identity of El Aguila and eventually settled in America. Never forgetting his horrible childhood, he focused on helping the downtrodden by fighting organized crime, corrupt corporations and dishonest politicians, as he had in Europe.  Continue reading

MAY TENTH ROUNDUP OF NEWS, MEMES, AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog brings you another current events roundup from Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy.

stunning on multiple levelsA COURAGEOUS JUDGE HELPS EXPOSE EVEN MORE OF THE ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTS AGAINST POLITICAL OPPOSITION LEADER DONALD TRUMP. More HERE. Similar item HERE

BIDEN’S FBI THUGS EXPOSED FOR PLANTING ITEMS AGAINST TRUMP IN MAR-A-LAGO CASE, AS WELL AS FOR BROKEN CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY. The Biden Regime has gone so far beyond Banana Republic tactics that we need a brand-new term for what those criminals are doing. Remember, FBI means “Fuggeda Bout Integrity.”

don king endorses trumpDON KING HEROICALLY ENDORSES DE FACTO THIRD PARTY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FOR 2024. King courageously referred to Trump as “the only man who’s got the intestinal fortitude to be able to stand up and fight the system like it should be fought” and further stated “And we must reelect him to save ourselves. You know, a vote for Trump is a vote for yourself. Because we’ve got to fight the system of lies and the creation of wrong being right and right being wrong.”

DEMOCRATS IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTE UNANIMOUSLY TO COUNT NON-CITIZENS AND FOREIGN NATIONALS’ POPULATION FOR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION. And America lacks a competent opposition party to combat such tactics. 

BIDEN AND HIS REGIME STILL HELPING THE HAMAS FORCES HOLDING AMERICANS AND OTHERS HOSTAGE.

CAREER CRIMINAL JOE BIDEN AND HIS REGIME NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR ELECTION INTERFERENCE. And it’s about time. Continue reading

THE VIOLET FLAME (1899) ANCIENT SCIENCE FICTION

the violet flameTHE VIOLET FLAME (1899) – Here is another of the science fiction works written by THE Frederick Thomas Jane, of Jane’s Guides fame. Previously, Balladeer’s Blog reviewed Jane’s works The Incubated Girl and Guesses at Futurity.

This tale is set in the near future. A megalomaniacal scientist named Mirzabeau has devised a theory stating that the Earth and, indeed, our entire solar system, is alive.

To demonstrate the truth of his theory, Professor Mirzabeau uses his devices to manipulate the Earth itself. He causes global disasters and reduces mountains and buildings to near nothingness, leaving behind a miniature argon replica of each destroyed object.

With the world trembling before his power, Mirzabeau demands that all nations cede their sovereignty to him. He is acknowledged as the ruler of the world with the title the Beast. Continue reading

THE VILLON LEGEND: SEVENTH AND FINAL PART

This is the final part of Balladeer’s Blog’s look at the swashbuckling legends that surround Francois Villon (1431-1463?), remembered as one of France’s greatest poets and a notorious outlaw.

villon in swordfightFRANCOIS VILLON PART SEVEN – We pick up this time in 1460, as Villon’s roaming career as a highwayman and armed burglar among the Coquillards was fast approaching its end, though the poet seems not to have realized it. None of his poetry from 1458 and 1459 has survived, unfortunately.

Accounts vary wildly, but Francois and some of his outlaw colleagues had supposedly been taking advantage of the feud between Archbishop Thibaud d’Aussigny of Orleans and his subordinate clergy members. Prior to Villon’s fugitive status, the Archbishop might have been a figure who appealed to him. D’Aussigny was a genuine reformer whose appointment was opposed by the Pope and the King, but whose political allies had maneuvered him into position despite all that. Continue reading

milligan u buffaloesGAME ONE – The MILLIGAN UNIVERSITY BUFFALOES took on the LIFE UNIVERSITY RUNNING EAGLES.

For Milligan, Bridget Keyser completed 39 of 53 passing attempts for 312 yards and 4 Touchdowns with just 1 Interception. Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOON ROUNDUP: MAY SEVENTH

Another current events roundup by Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.

jack smith picPARTISAN HACK JACK SMITH ADMITS TO HIS TEAM MISLEADING THE JUDGE IN HIS TRUMP CASE WHILE TRYING TO RAILROAD THE OPPOSITION LEADER. Smith, looking nothing at all like a creepy child molester, continues his farcical prosecution. More about Jack’s career of sleaze HERE.

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN HENRY CUELLAR AND HIS WIFE INDICTED ON BRIBERY AND MONEY LAUNDERING CHARGES. More HERE.

NEW YORK FIREFIGHTERS GLEEFULLY WELCOME POPULIST AND DE FACTO THIRD PARTY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO THEIR STATION WHILE SHOUTING “Sir, save us please!” and “You gotta win!” Cheers met Trump signing the fire station’s daybook, too.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT RELEASED INTO THE COUNTRY BY JOE BIDEN’S REGIME HAS NOW BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED FOR KIDNAPPING AND SEXUALLY VIOLATING AN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL. Another crime on Biden’s head. Democrats, can you and your illegal immigrant heroes please leave children alone?  

robert deniro is patheticDEMENTED FORMER ACTOR ROBERT DENIRO COMPARES TRUMP TO (YAWN) HITLER, AS ALL IMBECILES TEND TO DO. The pathetic Deniro, who plays violent social misfits and predatory criminals in films (Maybe he’s just been “acting naturally?”) was smacked down and put in his place on social media with this reply post:

Well, Trump was actually already president for 4 years and his policies bore no resemblance to those of Hitler, so this makes no sense.

           “In fact, with the Abraham Accords, he made some progress towards peace in the Middle East, which was definitely not high on Hitler’s agenda.”     

          deniro lawsuit picI will add my own note to anti-Trump psychopaths like this – Try reading a little bit of history and/or stop trying to self-aggrandize by pretending that your irrational and unhinged remarks about Trump are somehow equal to fighting Hitler. Deniro would likely be fearfully hiding from the real Hitler or helping him round up victims. Gutless phony. Deniro forgets that he lives in a pathetic world of make-believe, and his lips would be trembling and his eyes welling up with tears in any REAL LIFE conflict. 

        AND ANOTHER HATEMONGERING HOLLYWOOD DEMAGOGUE ALSO MINDLESSLY AND GROUNDLESSLY COMPARES TRUMP TO HITLER. Pathetic. Anyone who seriously thinks that any American president has ever been equivalent to Hitler should seek professional help. Continue reading

EXPERIMENTAL POST

question markIt’s been years since Balladeer’s Blog tried a post like this. I’ve had a few people saying I should weigh in on a certain situation but I’ve been maintaining that said situation is way too “Inside Baseball” for anyone to care. Hell, I’m barely interested in it myself.

           Here are some jokes without context and with no tags or other indicators. Let’s see if any readers know what these jokes are referring to. I’ll do something special for any who do. If you hate this whole idea and don’t want me to do it ever again, that’s fine, too.

“I have no idea which of his former cellmates he fantasizes about when he has to lie next to that.” Continue reading

AUGUST 2021: LOOKING BACK

FOR PART ONE (2016) OF THIS RETROSPECTIVE FROM INDEPENDENT VOTER SITE BALLADEER’S BLOG CLICK HERE

british parliament holds biden in contemptBRITISH PARLIAMENT OFFICIALLY HOLDS JOE BIDEN IN CONTEMPT. Hey, those fools wanted Biden. They got him. MORE HERE.

JOE BIDEN GETS DESERVEDLY SLAMMED BY SURVIVORS OF THE DEAD FROM HIS AFGHANISTAN DEBACLE. The unfit Biden gets slammed from all directions and deservedly so. Parents of his victims made remarks like “You killed my son! This never would have happened under Trump.” and “You are no leader of any kind! You are a weak human being and a traitor!” and “We didn’t want him anywhere near us!” 

           Another called Biden “a feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap“.

media biasBIG TECH OLIGARCHS CENSORED ACCOUNTS OF FAMILIES OF THOSE SERVICE MEMBER DEATHS CAUSED BY JOE BIDEN IF THEY CRITICIZED HIM. Joe Biden is a clump of bacteria sculpted into human form.

DEMOCRATS IN COLORADO WORK TO BLOCK ELECTION AUDITS FOR ANY FUTURE ELECTIONS FROM THIS POINT ON. Notice how it’s only ever Democrats who oppose measures to block and/or investigate Vote Fraud? Hmmmm. That says it all.

BRITISH NEWS OUTLET CALLS OUT AMERICAN MEDIA’S COMPLICITY IN BIDEN’S DISASTERS. And I point out that British media outlets are just as guilty.  

BIDEN ATROCITIES CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE Continue reading
