LINCOLN COUNTY WAR: THE UNITS

New Mexico map

Frontierado is tomorrow, August 5th!

The various range wars of the Old West were not truly “wars,” of course but were more like modern-day gangster conflicts with very rare examples of outright good guys or outright bad guys. Frontierado is about the myth of the American West, not the reality, though, so think in terms of Renaissance Festivals. 

THE LINCOLN COUNTY WAR – Billy the Kid’s involvement in this range war has made this the most internationally famous of them all, so I chose it for this premier look at gangs fighting on both sides of the conflict. For fans of the original Young Guns movie I’ll lead off with the Regulators.   

THE REGULATORS

Side: Tunstall-McSween Faction 

Billy the Kid

Billy the Kid

Comment: Like many of the units fighting in the Lincoln County War the Regulators were “deputized” by law enforcement personnel in the pocket of their faction’s leaders. This provided an arguable veneer of legality to the group’s actions. Dick Brewer led the Regulators until he was killed by Buckshot Roberts, then Frank McNabb led them and, after his death Josiah Scurlock took over.   

Prominent Members: Billy the Kid, Tommy O’Folliard, Charlie Bowdre, Jim “Frenchy” French, Dirty Steve Stephens, Tiger Sam Smith and the Coe Brothers.

TOMORROW’S TRUMP HEADLINES TODAY!

Mascot with demo and repub heads

The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party

Part of the fun of this chaotic presidential campaign has been watching the corporate media froth at the mouth and repeatedly lie about Donald Trump.

All of their efforts have been exposed as lies or malicious editing of former associates of Trump. (My favorite was when they tried claiming they interviewed previous women in Trump’s life who supposedly said bad things about him but the ladies immediately went on various news shows furiously pointing out that all their comments were distorted or taken out of context and that they had a very high opinion of the Donald.)

In that spirit here are some glimpses of possible anti-Trump headlines that the corporate whores of the American media might use. The fact that they’re all completely made up makes them AT LEAST as accurate as anything Huffpo or the New York Times put up.

Hillary Winking

Write in Bernie Sanders’ name or vote for Jill Stein.

*** SHOCKING POLL SHOWS THAT PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LIKE TRUMP YESTERDAY DON’T LIKE HIM TODAY EITHER!

*** TRUMP’S INSANE CLAIM THAT MUSLIMS SOMETIMES COMMIT TERROR ATTACKS SURE TO ALIENATE MUSLIM TERRORISTS!  

*** TRUMP WRYLY RESPONDS TO LOADED, BIASED QUESTIONS FROM THE MEDIA, PROVING HE’S UNFIT FOR THE PRESIDENCY! 

*** TRUMP’S INTENTION TO ENFORCE PERFECTLY REASONABLE LAWS SHOWS HIS CAMPAIGN’S DESPERATION!

*** TRUMP SHOWN LOSING SUPPORT WITH PEOPLE WHO NEVER WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HIM ANYWAY!

*** POMPOUS SNOBS SAY TRUMP UNFIT FOR OFFICE! Continue reading

NJCAA FOOTBALL’S COOLEST HELMETS

ASA College Avengers

ASA College Avengers

To help us all hang on until the 2016 college football season kicks off Balladeer’s Blog looks  at some of the coolest helmets in the NJCAA.

The ASA College Avengers (logo at left) have the coolest helmet logo in the NJCAA, but it fades in a little too much against their purple helmets to be sufficiently visible in pictures.

A white helmet might make it show up better, but at any rate their decal will instead serve as this article’s main pic to open things up with everyone’s favorite purple-flamed Goth android skull logo.

Now with your appetites whetted, dive in and sample the coolest helmets in NJCAA college football:

AMERICAN MEDIA: THE BLOATED RICH PIGS WHO RUN IT WANT HILLARY AS PRESIDENT

Hillary confused

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** If every terse or ill-considered remark made by this bought-and-paid-for criminal was covered in the same paniced and apocalyptic manner that Trump’s every pronouncement was we might have a fair playing field. The American Media has managed the impossible – making Donald Trump the heroic underdog.

American media phonies are so cute when they pretend they care about the families of people in the armed forces. At this point I can’t blame anybody for wanting to vote for Donald Trump just to spite our corporate media, which is owned by the same bloated rich pigs and one percenters who own Hillary Clinton. (I liked Bernie, by the way.)

Hey, I get it, if Hillary doesn’t become president then all the money they funneled to her through the criminal Clinton Foundation will have gone to waste. If those bloated rich pigs want a return on their investment then the slime-dripping, sleaze-oozing Hillary MUST win, no matter how blatant our media’s propoganda has to become.   

Hillary Clinton hands together BIG

*** *** *** *** *** Remember Hillary bragging about putting coal miners out of work? Had Trump said that he’d STILL be getting interrogated about it. People can tell the media is covering for Hillary.

So it’s been nothing but KHAAAAAAANN from our media non-stop for the past several days. As in the late soldier, apparently a much more decent human being than his Sharia-law supporting father. (Yep. Look it up.)  

The late soldier’s parents – like him of the Muslim faith – seemingly decided to borrow a page from Cindy Sheehan and exploit their child’s death for political purposes. They’ve launched personal attacks on Donald Trump for noticing that many terrorists are Muslims.

KHIZR KHAN HAS BEEN TIED TO THE CLINTONS by the way, immediately making motivations suspect if any actual journalists were still employed with our media.

Hillary Clinton arguing with black woman

Hillary being rude to a woman from Black Lives Matter. If it was Trump we’d still be hearing about how it proved he was unfit and didn’t have a “presidential temperament.” The media is making Trump a martyr.

At any rate the manufactured outrage that the media has obsessed over in the war of words between the Khan parents and Trump shows our media has reached a new low.

THE MEDIA IGNORES THE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF GRIEVING PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR CHILDREN TO MUSLIM TERRORISM BUT EXPLOITS THE KHANS BECAUSE THEY’RE MUSLIMS WILLING TO WORK FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S BENEFIT. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE DEMOCRATS OR THEIR MEDIA SHOWCASING MUSLIMS WHO OPPOSE ISLAMIC VIOLENCE AND WANT TO LIVE IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.   

Balladeer’s Blog has covered these topics in the past. Here are a few links to what I’ve written before about the American Media and the Democrats’ selective outrage.

LUCKY BILL THORINGTON: GAMBLER/ GUNSLINGER

Lucky Bill ThorntonThe Frontierado holiday is this Friday, August 5th! As we all count down to it like little kids excitedly awaiting Santa Claus here’s another look at legends surrounding another neglected figure of the American west.  ** Special thanks to Jay Thorington, a descendant of Lucky Bill, for the correct spelling of the last name ** 

LUCKY BILL – William B. Thorington was the real-life inspiration for Bret Harte’s fictional gambler Jack Hamlin. Lucky Bill was born sometime in the 1820s in New York and after serving in the Mounted Rifles during the Mexican War of 1846-1848 had wandered as far as Michigan when word of the discovery of gold in California hit in 1849.

Thorington traveled west with one of the countless wagon trains, putting his Monte-playing skills and his con artist tricks to good use along the way. By the time the wagon train reached California, Lucky Bill had supposedly acquired a large amount of cash and valuables from his traveling companions. Periodic clashes enroute with the Pawnee and other tribes helped hone Lucky Bill’s gunmanship.

Sacramento 1849

************** Sacramento in 1849, when it was inhabited exclusively by cartoon figures. Later they would move south and establish Toon Town.

Rather than spend his time prospecting for gold Bill settled in to fleece prospectors and other gamblers at the Monte table or with his skill at the Shell Game. Eventually, after winning many pots and losing a few others Lucky Bill settled in Sacramento, already with a trail of dead bodies in his wake courtesy of his Colt Walker pistol. Thorington played his game and his cons out of casinos like Jimmie Lee’s Stinking Tent, Mansion House, The Humboldt, New Orleans West and The Diana. He even spent time working The Empire – run by Andrew Butler – the brother of future Civil War General Benjamin Butler. Continue reading

MUSLIM ATROCITY ROUNDUP

Islam genocide totals

ISLAM’S GENOCIDE FIGURES

As always Muslim fanatics continue to kill and kill and kill in countries all around the world. They’ve been doing it for CENTURIES but the Left-Wing Archie Bunkers who pretend to be “educators” in the Western World try their best to obscure that fact. They also try to whitewash Islam’s history of slavery as well, plus its misogyny, homophobia and oppression of religious minorities.

As Muslim Violence Awareness Year continues here are A FEW of the latest atrocities courtesy of Islam.

July 23rd: a) In Kabul Muslim fascist suicide bombers killed EIGHTY-ONE innocent people and injured TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-ONE more.   

b) Also July 23rd: Ngakobo, Central African Republic – Gun-toting Muslim Militiamen killed 3 innocent people and injured 3 others in door-to-door surprise attacks. Obama probably blamed the NRA.

b) Still July 23rd: Furkian, India – Muslim fascist snipers killed 1 innocent person and injured 2 more. Obama probably vowed to start a hashtag to remedy the situation.  

July 24th: a) Ansbach, Germany – A Syrian “Asylum Seeker” detonated a nail-bomb, injuring 15 innocent people.  Continue reading

MADAME DUMONT: GAMBLER/ GUNSLINGER

Balladeer’s Blog presents another underappreciated Wild West gunslinger since the Frontierado holiday is fast approaching! Friday August 5th will mark the event, the yearly celebration of the myth of the old west, not the grinding reality. 

Eleanore DumontMADAME DUMONT – Decades before Poker Alice and Lottie Deno came along  Eleanore “Madame” Dumont made a name for herself as a blackjack-dealing gambler and gunslinger. Much of the Madame’s early life is unknown but she supposedly was born in France around 1830. In 1854, when the record of her activities becomes more concrete, she arrived in Nevada City, CA as the Gold Rush was still at its peak.

By this time the charming and aristocratic Madame Dumont had already acquired a small fortune in gambling winnings after playing cards and slinging lead in mining camps throughout northern California. Eleanore’s cash and her nascent reputation for being able to maintain order with her own guns if necessary made it easy for her to immediately open her casino named Vingt- et-Un (“21”) right on legendary Broad Street itself.

MILO: I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY ANY GAY PERSON WOULD VOTE FOR HILLARY

Milo: Combining the best qualities of Oscar Wilde, Hunter S Thompson and James Bond

Yiannopoulos … Milo Yiannopoulos. The James Bond of irreverence recently caused the emotional cripples called Democrats to clutch their pearls when he made the obvious point covered in the title of this post.

The swashbuckling Milo has been THE perfect antidote to whiny Political Correctness and to American Liberals’ fascistic obsession with censoring anything they don’t agree with. His “Dangerous Faggot” speaking tour of American colleges (which are often called “islands of intolerance in a sea of freedom”) has exposed the iron-fisted approach that Left-Wing Archie Bunkers in the “academic” (LMFAO) world use to eliminate dissent.

Milo Yiannopoulis

My favorite quip by Milo – “Don’t try calling me a racist. I’ve sucked more black cock than you ever will.”

Or thought crimes, or blasphemy against Liberal Fundamentalists, whatever term you prefer. Milo has formed a movement of gay people for Trump since Trump’s the only candidate ballsy enough to speak truth to power by saying the words “Muslim” and “Radical Islam.” 

As I’ve mentioned in the past there are people dear to me who are female and there are people dear to me who are gay and I’ve seen how they will be oppressed in a world which is too cowardly to challenge Muslim intolerance. And no, people, a temporary ban on Muslim immigration until the vetting process can catch up with the mammoth numbers pouring into the country is NOT “hatred” or “Islamophobia.” Continue reading
