Happy Thanksgiving from Balladeer’s Blog and my very special guest J.J. Abrams (left). Yes, I know that’s Harold Lloyd. I’m a Silent Movie geek, remember?
J.J. is thankful that there are still plenty of successful movie and television franchises left for him to tamper with and utterly destroy.
But hey, lens flares! Amirite? Continue reading

One of Balladeer’s Blog’s biggest hits in recent years was my look at 55 Hilariously Wrong Predictions From Psychics (click HERE ). You readers have been asking for more, so here we go with predictions for 1975-2000:
MALCOLM BESSENT
*** By 1979 the United States will have a war with China.
*** New York city will be uninhabitable by 1980 because of rising water levels. People are STILL trying to sell that one. They just keep pushing the alleged time period further and further into the future.
DAVID BUBAR
*** By 1980 social drinking will virtually come to an end in America due to health consciousness.
*** By 1979 M.D.’s will ally themselves with faith healers. (Maybe as a Bowling League, but certainly in no other way)
*** By 1990 psychics will hold important government positions as intuition and clairvoyance become more important.
*** During the 1980s consumption of the chemicals in food will cause generations of freakishly tall people. Their abnormal size will weaken their bodies and personalities.
*** By the mid-1980s both America and the Soviet Union will try to colonize the moon, leading to military “police actions” on the moon itself. Continue reading
Jessi at Mindless Entertainment does a terrific sendup of the idiotic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and equally idiotic SJW’s (Sociopathic Joyless Weirdos). AOC embodies the old saying about someone being “always wrong but never in doubt.” Check out Jessi’s work and please subscribe to her channel HERE

ETHAN VAN SCIVER: HUMAN SUNBEAM
Okay, I’m being tongue in cheek with that title, but Van Sciver seems to have the same oddball sense of humor that I do so I figured why not? Ethan Van Sciver’s livestreams about pop culture are as addictive as they are entertaining.
Like so many others I found myself binge-listening to as many as I could do per day for several weeks and now I’m among the many waiting with anticipation for the next day’s installment.
Van Sciver has spent nearly three decades in the comic book industry as an artist and writer. Most of his time was spent at DC with legendary runs on Green Lantern and Flash, but in recent years “Uncle Ethan” as he’s called has become one of the leaders of the indy comic book “Outlaws” going their own way to create works free of the toxic influence of the Big Two publishers.

First up this time is a look at Democrat Joaquin Castro’s ugly fascist attempt to sic violent mobs of slobbering psychopaths on people who donated to de facto Third Party President Donald Trump … And accidentally exposed some of his own donors who also donated to Trump. Democrat intolerance at its worst.
Then there’s this look at some Karmic Justice that has been handed out to assorted political malefactors lately.
Democrats are determined to make the vague but convenient labels “white supremacist” and “white nationalist” as overused and meaningless as they’ve made “racist.” One of their dumbest maneuvers has been the pretense that the “OK” sign is a secret white supremacist hand gesture. Here we see Democrat Elijah Cummings, noted white supremacist, making that hand sign.

Balladeer’s Blog’s Random Weirdness item makes its long-awaited return with this little honey:

Frontierado is coming up on Friday, August 2nd! Here’s a brief look at two films presented on The Texas 27 Film Vault that match the old west theme of this holiday season. Randy Clower and Richard Malmos were the hosts.
A movie guaranteed to contain absolutely NO accurate information.
FRONTIER MARSHAL (1939)
Original Broadcast Date: Saturday October 25th, 1986 from 10:30pm to 1:00am.
Serial: An episode of Mysterious Doctor Satan was shown before the movie. This 1940 serial presented the title villain trying to take over the world with a big, goofy robot while being opposed by a masked superhero called Copperhead.
Movie: Frontier Marshal is notorious as the LEAST historically accurate depiction of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Randolph Scott starred as Wyatt Earp with Cesar Romero as Doc Holliday. Nobody can pronounce Doc’s name right, plus he’s presented as a Medical Doctor instead of a dentist. Meanwhile Doc himself starts out the film drinking only milk. (?)
Randy (right) and Richard way down on Level 31 hosting The Texas 27 Film Vault
No Clantons or McClaurey’s are to be found anywhere, nor are Wyatt’s brothers. Doc is shown getting killed off BEFORE the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral even happens! To top it all off the famous gunfight takes place at night for no apparent reason and Wyatt’s only ally in the battle is a saloon girl who had a crush on Doc. Bad craziness all around in this little honey. Continue reading

ROBERT MUELLER
Robert Mueller did his best Captain Pike imitation this week to further cement what a joke and a waste of time his farcical “investigation” was. Some compared Mueller’s testimony to Weekend at Bernie’s and given how brain-dead Murky Mueller seemed they may be on to something.
It was hilarious to watch this corrupt and worthless little man slither off into the sunset accompanied by the boos and impotent outrage of anti-Trump fascists.
This cartoon found another excellent comparison for the crooked Mueller’s abysmal performance:
But there’s something to be said for this next comparison, too:
And if you prefer the classics:

Robert Mueller has replaced Richard Nixon as the National Cockroach. Even among notoriously sleazy American Prosecutors, Mueller has a name that’s synonymous with sludge. Just search under “Robert Mueller Scandals” and take your pick from all of the left-wing and right-wing news outlets. Mueller’s infamous involvement in abetting gangster Whitey Bulger by keeping innocent people in prison for years is just ONE of this greaseball’s many scandals.
I joked recently that next the Democrats will beg Mueller to write a fictionalized account of what he thinks happened in the nonexistent “Russian Collusion” (LMAO) fantasy. Then they can call him back AGAIN and ask hypothetical questions about what each line in the fictional account might mean, all the while pretending that their obsession with trying to revive Murky Mueller’s failed Witch Hunt means there’s smoke there.

Up first we have the latest hilarious hypocrisy from the hatemongering, race-baiting demagogues of the Democrat/ Ku Klux Klan Party. They spout non-stop hatred but snivel when they get any kind of pushback. (Note, too, the usual Democrat insinuation that to be black means you MUST obey the Democrats or else you’re not a “black voice.”)
THE ODD SQUAD DEMOCRATS: Next we see the Four Hatemongers (Pressley, Omar, AOC & Tlaib) both WITHOUT their Klan robes on and WITH their Klan robes on.
This next one is a great reminder of how Democrat-run San Francisco and other spots in Democrat-run California have streets literally filled with human waste from all the illegal immigration and homelessness. But Californian politicians think they know what’s best for the whole country.
Then there’s this reminder (left) that de facto Third Party President Donald Trump has done more for the poor and the working class of ALL colors than any other president in my lifetime.
And he’s done it while fighting BOTH the crooked Democrats AND the crooked Republicans.
Next we have a reminder of how the Techno-Fascists at Facebook, Google and Twitter need to have their companies made public utilities to stop their flagrant partisan abuse of their influence.
And there’s THIS reminder that the default position of Democrats in office is always to call EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY a (yaaawwwwn) “racist” or, even more absurdly, “a white supremacist.”
The Four Hatemongers express their animosity toward Jews:
