For Flashman Down Under, Flashman in the Opium War & Flashman and the Kings click HERE Balladeer’s Blog moves on to another Harry Flashman adventure referred to but never completed before George MacDonald Fraser’s death.
Projected Title: THE BATTLE CRY OF FLASHMAN
Time Period: Part of the United States Civil War
NOTE: The title is a play on the famous Civil War ballad The Battle Cry of Freedom. That title was also used for one of Bruce Catton’s examinations of the conflict.
The Story: Personally I think a collection of short stories would be the only way of reconciling all the scattered and varied references made to Flashman’s Civil War adventures in other novels. From those other Fraser writings we know that Harry somehow wound up serving on both sides of the war but ultimately won a Medal of Honor for his service in the Union Army.
Further complicating things is the fact that the author mentioned how Flashman left and re-entered the U.S. multiple times during the war after his initial involvement starting at some point in 1862. Continue reading
THE NEW COLONIALISM – Here’s another situation to embellish and extrapolate from in standard Dystopian Literature format. It’s the way that isolated, heavily-populated regions of pompous snobs, cowardly hypocrites and hilariously pretentious asses consider themselves the rulers of the entire rest of the nation. 
Anyway, in our fictional future for this time around, the isolated areas of Democrat Supremacists or “Blue Meanies” began to panic as they felt their tyrannical grip on their “Colonies” slipping. 
KALTHAR THE GIANT MAN 
The 20th ranked ROCKY MOUNTAIN COLLEGE BATTLIN’ BEARS will be hosting the CARROLL (MT) COLLEGE FIGHTING SAINTS. It’s a risky opening week clash between two Frontier Conference teams. 
The number 22 team in the nation, the SOUTHWESTERN ASSEMBLIES OF GOD UNIVERSITY LIONS, will take it on the road against the (RV) EVANGEL UNIVERSITY CRUSADERS. Crucial early season positioning is on the line in this battle. 
At number 25 are the DAKOTA STATE TROJANS, who travel to face the DAKOTA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY TIGERS (should be the Blue Tigers). This matchup will be the Midco Sports Network’s Game of the Week. 
ROGER SIMON SUMMARIZES HOW THE “RUSSIAN COLLUSION” NONSENSE KEEPS INCRIMINATING HILLARY AND OBAMA, NOT TRUMP – Roger, like me, used to be a Democrat, but that party’s descent into fascism and worse drove him away, too. Here is his excellent look at how Obama thoroughly politicized America’s already disgusting Intelligence Agencies and how it’s all coming out now. CLICK 
ANOTHER AFRICAN-AMERICAN LEADER PREDICTS DONALD TRUMP WILL BE “THE MOST PRO-BLACK PRESIDENT OF OUR LIFETIME” – It’s Darrell Scott, yet another figure of color praising President Trump. I seriously cannot keep up with all the African-Americans courageously pointing out how Trump has done more for them than the Democrats have in decades. (Hence the Democrats’ increasingly frantic attempts to smear the Donald as a racist).
NDAKUWANG-GA – The chief shark god of Fiji. Ndakuwang-Ga established his preeminence by defeating in battle all the other shark deities which guarded particular islands. The only figure to ever beat Ndakuwang-Ga in combat was the octopus god of Kandavu Island. For centuries fishermen from there were considered immune to any and all shark attacks. 
ANTIFA RACISTS ASSAULT AFRICAN-AMERICAN CANDACE OWENS – The Democrats of Antifa (Motto: “Large numbers of crazed losers acting in concert”) continue their roving Hate Squad antics. Recently these fools were attacking Woman of Courage Candace Owens in public. Antifa trash aren’t exactly intelligent and they were screaming at Candace to end “White Supremacy.” Uh. Yeah. Gutless clowns. 
“SANCTUARY CITY” PHILADELPHIA PROTECTED ANOTHER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WHO THEN WENT ON TO RAPE A CHILD – Remember Philadelphia’s Democrat Mayor dancing for the cameras when a court decreed that Philly could remain a sanctuary city? If they had turned the rapist in to immigration authorities like they were supposed to the child would not have been raped. The biggest regret of my life is that I ever belonged to the party of the Democrats.
