FOUR ODD MATADOR DEATHS
The era of the “superstar” Matadors, aka guys who used swords to kill bulls for entertainment – began in the 1700s. Since then fewer than 100 name Matadors died in the ring facing a bull. In or out of the ring here are four examples of Matadors dying under unusual circumstances.
JUAN ANLLO
Year of Death: 1925
The Scenario: At the age of 27 Anllo attended a Bull Fight as a spectator rather than a participant. Another spectator disagreed with Juan’s critique of the Matador in the ring. The argument escalated until finally the spectator struck Anllo over the head with a bottle with such force that it killed him. Continue reading

POLL: PRESIDENT TRUMP VS “THE SQUAD”
Balladeer’s Blog remains the only site on the web that equally criticizes both Democrats and Republicans. Recent polling has demonstrated that in Americans’ perception of de facto Third Party President Trump, the four Democrats called the Squad (Tlaib, Omar, Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley) and Democrat Nancy Pelosi, Trump has much higher approval ratings.
As always I’m wary of polling but I have to laugh at the way that anti-Trump fanatics insist polls are THE measure of the national mood … except when those polls say something they disagree with.
At any rate the poll showed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a favorable rating of just 30% … Rashida Tlaib with a mere 26% favorable … Ilhan Omar with an even lower 25% favorable … and Ayanna Pressley bringing up the rear with just 24% favorable. And then we come to Nancy Pelosi. Continue reading

ISAIAH WASHINGTON, PERSON OF COURAGE, JOINS #WALKAWAY
Martin Luther King Person of Courage Isaiah Washington, famous from Grey’s Anatomy, has joined so many of us former Democrats in choosing to #WALKAWAY from that political party.
Washington cited his disillusionment with the Democrats’ empty lip service to the African-American community, lip service which they abandon after election day. That stands in stark contrast to President Trump, who has provided very real help to the working class and poor of ALL colors. The link is below, but first some excerpts:
“A recent study found that Democrats represent the worst congressional districts in the country when it comes to black Americans falling behind whites. Robert Johnson, America’s first black billionaire, gave President Donald Trump an “A+” on the economy.”
“In April, Washington announced he was considering supporting Trump. He said he had voted for Obama twice, but didn’t see progress under Obama.”
“The reason why I chose to walk away from the Democratic Party … something doesn’t feel right. I’m walking away I don’t know where I’m going, but I know where I come from.” Continue reading

FOOL KILLER PART TWENTY-EIGHT: JANUARY 1921
Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT, CLICK HERE
PART TWENTY-EIGHT – Here is a look at some of the Fool Killer’s targets from James L Pearson’s January of 1921 issue of The Fool-Killer. New imagery invoked was of the Fool Killer sitting on a high hill picking off fools as the world revolved around him. (A very odd quasi-Axis Mundi)
** Dr Frank Crane. Pearson and his Fool Killer found Crane to be too sweet and sugary with his “inspirational” writings. The Fool Killer compared him to molasses. If Crane was writing in later decades it’s a safe bet his work would have been part of “Oprah’s Book Club.”
** An unnamed writer for one of the “plute (plutocrat) publications” who published an article called Bulk Opinion. The writer claimed that “bulk opinion” favored everything the writer supported and rejected everything the reporter disapproved of. This writer was apparently using the vague term bulk opinion the way some people today claim to be on “the right side of history.” (LMAO)
** William Wirt Gilmer, Governor of the American possession Guam. Gilmer had recently invited ridicule by banning whistling, sort of the way modern-day SJW fools try to ban clapping (“use jazz-hands instead”) and the “ok” sign (“a symbol of white supremacy”).
** The “wolves of Wall Street” as such bloated rich pigs were called at the time. Continue reading

MARTIN LUTHER KING’S NIECE AGAIN DEFENDS TRUMP FROM FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF RACISM
Dr Alveda King, niece of Civil Rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr, once again pointed out the hollowness of Democrat accusations of racism against de facto Third Party President Trump. A link to the full item is below but first some excerpts:
King said Democrats “have to stir up fear, tears, [and] terror” by “saying that President Trump is a racist” because “they don’t have any substantial platform issues.”
“African-American men really turned out for [Donald Trump]. That’s because they were listening, and still are, when he says, ‘We’re going to bring the jobs back. We’re going to get people out of jail.” Continue reading

3 LABOR DAY MOVIES
The Labor Day Holiday is taking on greater significance the more that the white collar criminals called Democrats and Republicans sell out the working class. Bought and paid for office-holders from both political parties are content to screw over the working class.
MATEWAN (1987) – This John Sayles film examines the 1920 Matewan Massacre in the West Virginia coal fields. The workers were attempting to form a union and the owners – the kind of people that the one percenters’ beloved New York Times has proclaimed to be “the conscience of the country” used hired thugs to harass – and even kill – the laborers.
On top of that the owners planned to bring in replacement workers who would work for less money and would not expect “luxuries” like worker safety measures and the like.
It’s like today as DemCorp and RepubCorp embrace Corporate Fascism by helping bloated rich pigs usher unlimited numbers of illegal immigrants into countries around the world in order to bring in people who will work for lower wages and without “luxuries” like sick leave and such.
Today’s rich pigs have added a new wrinkle: pretending to be showing “compassion” and lecturing the working class and the poor about the glories of a borderless society. Ultimately this will even overload Social Programs to the point where they all collapse from lack of funding.
AN IMPORTANT REASON FOR HAVING BORDERS IS PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THE LONG-HELD PRINCIPLE THAT A COUNTRY CAN HAVE SOCIAL PROGRAMS OR OPEN BORDERS BUT NOT BOTH. Borders also help in disease control and crime control, but the one percenters and bloated rich pigs never have to worry about either. Continue reading

PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PLEADS GUILTY TO MURDERING 10 YEAR OLD GIRL
DEMOCRAT PARTY
THANK DEMOCRATS FOR ANOTHER GROTESQUE STORY COURTESY OF DEMOCRATS’ OBSESSION WITH ABETTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND ENABLING THE ADDITIONAL CRIMES THEY COMMIT. (I’m an Independent Voter)
Gustavo Zavala-Garcia, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, pleaded guilty to strangling and drowning 10 year old Kayla Gomez-Orozco after attempting to sexually assault her. For the full story click HERE
Remember THIS WOULD BE THE LEAD STORY ON EVERY NEWS SHOW FOR WEEKS IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT IT DOESN’T FIT THE DEMOCRATS’ PRECIOUS “NARRATIVE.” As it is, Democrat reporters won’t even ask Democrat candidates about this atrocity.
Meanwhile in the Democrats’ de facto “Sanctuary County” Montgomery County, MD illegal immigrants continue their War on Women. A FIFTH illegal immigrant has been arrested for rape IN LESS THAN A MONTH. Maybe the victims need some “sanctuary” from predators, but Democrats will never even consider that. They would find it gauche. Click HERE
Before we get to the main list of additional crimes committed by illegal immigrants recently I’ll post another reminder of the way illegal immigrants can spread disease since they bypass screenings for such diseases – which could be spotted and treated IF we had a secured southern border.
Journalist and strong female role model Kelli Ballard courageously continues to compile as comprehensive as possible a breakdown of the additional crimes committed by people in the country illegally.
The victims of illegal immigrant crimes and the loved ones of those victims deserve at least as much care and compassion as the corporate media and the Democrats heap upon every criminal alien who commits murders and rapes.
The message has long been clear: Democrats care only about illegal immigrants and never the victims of illegal immigrant crime. And never about the diseases on the uptick in areas with a heavy illegal immigrant presence.
