It’s been a long time since I posted political cartoons, so here we go. These – from P.R. – are about the hypocritical way privileged Democrats are trying to ignore the very credible – and corroborated – sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden.

FOOL KILLER FORTY: OCTOBER 1910
Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT, CLICK HERE
PART FORTY: The October of 1910 issue of James Larkin Pearson’s Fool-Killer. LORE CHANGE – For the first time the Fool Killer is depicted using a Bomb of Truth against his targets, making these explosives the latest addition to his arsenal of weapons. Even today we often use the figurative expression “Truth Bombs.”
Best imagery invoked by Pearson and his Fool Killer this month: Congress as a collection of corrupt fools safely fighting the citizenry from behind high walls made of piles of taxpayer money. Some things never change.
Targets for this issue:
*** People who were hurriedly exploiting the still-new invention the airplane for wartime uses.
*** Those members of the wig industry who were harvesting most of the hair for their wigs from the heads of corpses.
*** John J Astor and his wife, who were going through an ugly and costly public divorce.
*** “Doctor” George W Carey, who was pushing the theory that the Sun was “the father” of all the planets in our solar system except for the Earth, which was “the mother” of those planets. Carey further stated that the South Pole was the womb of the Earth and that sunlight hitting the region eventually impregnated the Earth, which gave birth via Antarctica.
George also explained that the Moon was the Sun and Earth’s youngest child and that if the true South Pole was ever reached an umbilical cord running all the way up to the Moon would be discovered.
If that’s not enough “science” for you, Carey stated that the umbilical cord would detach from Antarctica around the year 1945, following which the Earth would get pregnant again by the Sun and give birth to another celestial body as a child. Any questions? Continue reading

SENILE JOE BIDEN BLITHERS AGAIN
Thank you to the Bernie Bros who reminded me of this. Joe Biden is STILL being called everything from senile to demented to a sexual assailant (#DROPOUTBIDEN is trending over the latest evidence). “Hidin’ Biden” has resorted to trying to bluff his way through softball appearances ONLY with fawning Democrats in the media.
Senile Joe’s cognitive problems are such that even with the most delicate of handling he continues to gibber on camera. To quote one of his recent disordered babblings (link below):
“Um, you know there’s a, uh, during World War II, uh, you know, where Roosevelt came up with a thing, that uh, you know, was totally different, than a, than the, he called it the, you know, the WWII, he had the War Production Board.” Continue reading

DAN FRAGA’S NEW BLACK FLAG STORY IS AVAILABLE NOW
Comic book legend Dan Fraga shook the industry recently when he joined up with the daring, iconoclastic creative titans led by Ethan Van Sciver, Jon Malin and others. Those “outlaws” – as I always call them – have broken away from the stale, corporate, suffocatingly conformist confines of the Big Two publishers to pursue their own creative vision.
Fraga became the latest addition to these blacklist-defying rebels and has dealt with the harrumphing backlash with true swashbuckling, two-fisted panache. Dan ran up the ComicsGate banner for the revival of his Black Flag superteam in their first adventure in 25 years.
The heroes Sniper, Rascal, Geisha, Guerilla, Raiden and Shrine are back at long last in a 48-page adventure which fuses the very best aspects of western comic books with manga plus unique elements that are pure Fraga. To order your Indiegogo copies: Continue reading

DEMOCRAT BIGOTS ATTACK MARTIN LUTHER KING PERSON OF COURAGE VERNON JONES
The Democrats, the party of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, the Trail of Tears, the Japanese Internment and so much more, continue to treat African-Americans as if they are still slaves on the Democrats’ plantations. Last week Georgia State Democrat Representative Vernon Jones (left) endorsed de facto Third Party President Donald Trump instead of the Democrats’ probable candidate Joe Biden.
Per the Democrats at the Atlanta Journal Constitution and at The Hill:
“Jones told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he was not switching parties but praised Trump’s policies on certain issues.
“It’s very simple to me. President Trump’s handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign,” Jones told the newspaper.
“There are a lot of African Americans who clearly see and appreciate he’s doing something that’s never been done before,” Jones added. “When you look at the unemployment rates among black Americans before the pandemic, they were at historic lows. That’s just a fact.” […]
“A generation of African American families have been devastated by draconian policies that Joe Biden supported and voted for when he served in the U.S. Senate,” Jones said in a statement to CBS 46. “A change was needed and President Trump took action.”
That was just last week. Privileged white Democrats have since hounded the courageous Jones, as usual implying that any voters of color who disobey white Democrats are not “authentic.”
In resigning his office today Jones stated “Turn the lights off, I have left the plantation.” (NOTE FOR OVERSEAS READERS: “Leaving the plantation” imagery is often used by heroic African-Americans who quit the Democrat party over its racism and its fascist attacks against those people of color who refuse to obey that political party.)
“I don’t plan to leave the Democratic Party because somebody’s got to be in there to hold them accountable —hold them accountable to how they are treating black people (and) root out the bigotry,” Jones said on The Rashad Richey Morning Show shortly after announcing his resignation.
“I intend to help the Democrat Party get rid of its bigotry against Black people that are independent … ” Jones said in the statement announcing his resignation. “I endorsed the White guy (Donald J. Trump) that let Blacks out of jail, and they endorsed the White guy (Joe Biden) that put Blacks in jail.” Continue reading

GEORGES (1843): ALEXANDRE DUMAS NOVEL ABOUT A SWORDSMAN FIGHTING SLAVERY
Alexandre Dumas pere is synonymous with swashbuckling historical adventures like The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Man in the Iron Mask.
His name became SO associated with swordplay and intrigue that even a Dumas novel like The Corsican Brothers, which in reality lacks any true action elements, has long been adapted as if it’s a swashbuckler. That’s a shame since there are other novels by Alexandre Dumas which are loaded with action and historical intrigue yet have been largely overlooked when it comes to movies and television.
GEORGES (1843) – Published just one year before The Three Musketeers, this novel is not only a rollicking adventure full of action, romance and double-crosses but it deals with racial issues in such a way that you would have thought it would have been adapted for film four or five decades ago. The title character uses his sword to fight slavery! Continue reading

JOE BIDEN: SEVENTEEN INCOHERENT MINUTES WITH THE SENILE AND/ OR DEMENTED CANDIDATE
Thank you to the BERNIE BROS who brought this video to my attention. It’s yet ANOTHER look at the incoherent ramblings of the senile, crooked and inept presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Even though Bernie’s out, his supporters are still making the perfectly valid point that Joe Biden’s cognitive problems are as bad as the trail of corruption he has left behind him. Here is just ONE of the videos with the doddering fool Biden in action. #WALKAWAY

FOOL KILLER THIRTY-NINE: SEPTEMBER 1910
Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT, CLICK HERE
PART THIRTY-NINE – Some of the Fool Killer’s targets in the September of 1910 issue of James Larkin Pearson’s Fool-Killer:
*** The scholar and philosopher William James, brother of Henry and Alice James, for his speculation that after death a soul could communicate or even return to the world of the living. (This was an exaggeration of James’ beliefs for comedic effect.) A fictional cult of William James was proposed, waiting to hear from the late philosopher or for his actual return from the dead. James had died in late August.
*** “Republocrats,” as Pearson and his Fool Killer called the corrupt fraternity of career politicians/ career criminals who belonged to the two gangs called Democrats and Republicans. Today the term is spelled “Republicrats.”
*** American colleges and universities, for what Pearson and his Fool Killer ALREADY saw as their over-emphasis on football instead of academics. That trend intensified in the coming decades. Continue reading

MORE DEMOCRATS REBEL AGAINST PELOSI AND SCHUMER’S BLOCKING OF FUNDS TO CONTINUE TRUMP’S PAYROLL PROTECTION PROGRAM
Balladeer’s Blog is always emphasizing how out-of-date the traditional “shirts vs skins” two-party system is in the U.S. You would think that Democrats could set aside partisan politics when it comes to President Trump’s FDR-style Payroll Protection Program, but no, as many have noted, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are AGAIN strategizing to try holding the country hostage by blocking the renewal funds for the Program.
Courageous Democrat Senators like Tina Smith and Kyrsten Sinema have criticized the cruel obstructionism of their party’s leadership (link below), with Sinema even calling to renew the funds the swiftest way – through unanimous consent for the PPP with no debates even considering the corrupt Schumer’s proposed deal-breakers.

THE GUARDIAN’S MELANIE PHILLIPS: “WHY I LEFT THE LEFT”
Balladeer’s Blog remains the only site on the web that equally criticizes BOTH the political left and the political right. Here is a terrific interview with Melanie Phillips on her disillusionment with the UK’s news outlet The Guardian. Like so many of us she reflects on the totalitarian nature of the left and how it has driven us away.
Intolerance, fanaticism and black-listing are intolerance, fanaticism and black-listing no matter which side of the political spectrum is pushing them. Phillips describes it as her journey “from fantasy to reality.” Continue reading
