Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I’ve bashed horrible presidents like George W. Bush (Republican) and Barack Obama (Democrat), yet I’ve also done blog posts ridiculing the more absurd accusations made against those two former presidents that I despise.
However, when it comes to absurd, imbecilic, unquestioning paranoia and uninformed hatred of presidents, NOTHING tops the slobbering insanity of Trump-haters. They idiotically believe ANYTHING, including claims that he tried to kidnap Michigan’s Democrat governor, told people to inject themselves with bleach, colluded with Russia, tried an “insurrection” (LMAO), was secretly running his own nuclear program out of Mar-a-Lago (LMAO) and on and on.
As ever, I don’t mean those people who are capable of rationally discussing their criticisms of de facto Third Party President Donald Trump. I mean the ignorant, clueless psychopaths who spout their deranged hatred of Trump during their every waking moment.
Anti-Trump loons make the worst, dumbest and most absurd statements I have ever encountered. Anti-Trumpers prove to be so uninformed and delusional that they reveal their ignorance about presidents in general every time they type out a remark about him or open their froth-flecked mouths about him.
Due to the ignorance and psychotic incoherence of Trump-haters I made it policy here at Balladeer’s Blog that if anti-Trump fascists want me to take them at all seriously they must first:
*** Begin their comment with a list of 10 things Trump did that they agree with. I can list at least 10 things I agree with that even the presidents I thoroughly despise have done. Trump-haters include an inordinate number of historically illiterate people who don’t comprehend the sheer number of actions taken by every president, so they are incapable of doing that.
If they can’t list at least 10 positive Trump items then they are revealing how uninformed they are, so there is no reason to take their anti-Trump screeds seriously.
*** TRUMP-HATERS MARKED THE SEPTEMBER 11th ANNIVERSARY BY PRETENDING THAT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE WORSE THAN THE TERRORISTS WHO KILLED THOUSANDS ON THAT DAY. More HERE. And HERE.
*** REGARDING THE DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN CHARGED WITH MURDERING THE JOURNALIST CRITICAL OF HIM … TRUMP-HATERS BLAME TRUMP FOR IT. More HERE. And HERE. I’m being very charitable when I describe Trump-haters as slobbering psychopaths. Continue reading
ACU CONQUERS DIVISION TWO – The annual tradition of NAIA college football teams upsetting teams from higher divisions has continued every week so far in 2022. Yesterday the ARIZONA CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY FIRESTORM visited NCAA Division Two’s FORT LEWIS COLLEGE SKYHAWKS. The Firestorm stunned the Skyhawks, leading them 28-9 at Halftime before winning the game 52-12.
MINERS TOPPLE DIVISION ONE – In a similar vein, NCAA Division Two’s MISSOURI S&T MINERS traveled to face Division One’s DRAKE UNIVERSITY BULLDOGS. This much tighter game saw a scoreless 1st Quarter followed by a 7-0 Miners edge at the Half. The Bulldogs came back to tie things up 14-14 in the 4th Quarter. In Overtime, Missouri S&T won out 17-14.
NUMBER ONE TAKES A FALL – Down in NCAA Division Three, the 6th ranked UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT WHITEWATER WARHAWKS welcomed the number 1 team in the nation – the UNIVERSITY OF MARY HARDIN-BAYLOR CRUSADERS. A 7-7 opening Quarter tie became a 14-10 midpoint lead for the Warhawks. The Crusaders went up 24-21 in the 3rd, but with 13 seconds left in the 4th, UW-Whitewater won the game 28-24.
SHANNA THE SHE-DEVIL Vol 1 #1 (December 1972)
She disarms and subdues the poachers, then she and her two leopards – Ina the Spotted and Biri the Dark – escort the hunting party to the border of the reserve. She orders them to leave the area, then resumes her professional care for the animals of the jungle.
TAKING DOWN NUMBER TWELVE – The PITTSBURG (KS) STATE GORILLAS traveled to face the 12th ranked UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-KEARNEY LOPERS. A 7-0 Lopers lead in the 1st Quarter became a 21-14 advantage for them by Halftime. The Gorillas went on top 28-14 going into the 4th Quarter, then won the game by a final score of 35-28.
MARATHON MEN – In this game the UNIVERSITY OF CHARLESTON GOLDEN EAGLES visited the FAIRMONT STATE FALCONS. The Golden Eagles led the Falcons 21-7 at the Half but Fairmont State came back to knot things up 28-28 to end Regulation. The 1st Overtime ended in a 35-35 deadlock and the 2nd with the score 38-38. Neither team mustered points in the 3rd OT, and the University of Charleston won with a Safety, 40-38, in the FOURTH OVERTIME.
With ANOTHER Democrat getting arrested –
CHASE (1973) – This cop show from the 70s had an odd history and ultimately wasted an initially promising premise.
Officer Steve Baker (Michael Richardson) was a former race car driver who handled the car chases. Officer Norm Hamilton (Reid Smith) was a Vietnam War veteran and helicopter pilot who handled aerial activities. And Officer Fred Sing (Brian Fong) was a hotshot motorcycle cop long before CHiPS hit the airwaves.
Recently Balladeer’s Blog covered Robert E. Howard’s stories about his overlooked characters James Allison and Turlogh Dubh. This time around I’m taking a look at another neglected creation of Howard, best known for his Conan, Kull and Solomon Kane stories.
EL BORAK – This character’s real name was Francis Xavier Gordon, an old west gunfighter from El Paso, Texas, who wound up traveling much of the world outside of the United States. Gordon settled in Afghanistan where his prowess with swords and pistols made him a tolerated outsider and earned him the nickname El Borak.
THE DAUGHTER OF ERLIK KHAN – First published in the pulp magazine Top-Notch in December, 1934. El Borak was hired by a pair of scurvy Britishers to guide them to a nonexistent captive friend of theirs. They secretly plan to loot the treasure of Mount Erlik Khan in the city of Yolgan. 



SOUTHEASTERN U CONQUERS DIVISION TWO – Every year multiple NAIA teams upset higher division teams and yesterday saw the SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY FIRE bring down NCAA Division Two’s SAVANNAH STATE TIGERS. Neither team scored in the 1st Quarter, but the Fire went up 27-0 by Halftime. After a scoreless 3rd Quarter, Southeastern University consummated the Upset in the 4th with a 34-14 triumph.
DOWN GOES NUMBER FOUR – Down in NCAA Division Three, the number 5 team in the nation – the SAINT JOHN’S UNIVERSITY JOHNNIES – hosted the 4th ranked UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN AT WHITEWATER WARHAWKS. The Johnnies put the Warhawks on Upset Alert at the Half with their 9-3 lead, then carried through with a 24-10 victory.
CHARGERS ON THE ROAD – In NCAA Division Two, the storied HILLSDALE COLLEGE CHARGERS took it on the road against the LAKE ERIE COLLEGE STORM. The Chargers were chasing the Storm 14-0 in the opening Quarter and 21-14 at the break. The 3rd Quarter ended with Lake Erie College on top 28-21, but in the 4th Hillsdale College stormed from behind to win the game 35-31.
SHOWCASE Vol 1 #73 (April 1968)

Our hero learns that Devlin will be covertly turning the captured Yatz over to Major Smej that night using a costume party attended by the rich and powerful as cover. Jack Ryder throws together a costume from leftovers he buys at a costume shop – the yellow, green and red sheepskin cape/stole ensemble that will become his Creeper outfit going forward.
