Balladeer’s Blog had proceeded from the assumption that most readers were familiar with flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker but comments and emails indicate otherwise. Here’s a look at him as we lead up to another November 11th, now called Veterans Day but formerly known as Armistice Day since November 11th, 1918 marked the end of World War One.
EDDIE RICKENBACKER – “Fast Eddie” Rickenbacker was first known as a race-car driver who competed in four Indianapolis 500’s before the U.S. entered World War One. Upon America’s entry into the conflict Rickenbacker enlisted in the Army and was in France with his unit by late June 1917.
Fast Eddie’s mechanical abilities – honed working with engines during his racing days – kept him grounded as a mechanic for several months. During that period Rickenbacker learned to fly in nearly every spare moment. Eventually he got his wings and took to the air with America’s legendary Hat in the Ring Squadron (the 94th Aero Squadron).
Eddie made Ace – five confirmed kills – with less than a full month between his first kill and his fifth. Lieutenant – eventually Captain – Rickenbacker scored his sixth verified kill on May 30th, 1918 before getting an ear infection which kept him out of the air for a few months. Many more kills lay ahead of him. Continue reading
Here at Balladeer’s Blog I am still having the time of my life watching all of the white collar criminals called Democrats and Republicans rolling on each other. The latest is former DNC Consigliere Donna Brazille, the ABC “News Woman” (LMFAO) who admitted to feeding Hillary Clinton advance questions going into the televised debates last year. 
Donna succeeded Hillary Clinton stooge Deborah Wasserman-Schultz as Consigliere and she has her own book out now about Clinton and DNC corruption. It will come as no surprise to my fellow aficionados of American “tell-all” books about political corruption that Brazille’s work is the typically self-serving wallow. 
THE IACCACI BROTHERS – In the 1960s young American men would head to Canada to avoid serving in the Vietnam War. During World War One a number of young American men headed to Canada to serve in British Military Units because the U.S. had not yet entered the conflict. 
The Muslim Fascist attack in New York served as another reminder of what our unresponsive Political Caste continues inflicting on all of us. They’ll probably call for even MORE unvetted Muslim immigration after this. 
October 29th: Gouderi, Cameroon – Boko Haram, the local affiliate of the Global Muslim Fascist Murder Machine – killed ELEVEN innocent people.
In the spirit of “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha” the irrational buffoons called Democrats (DemCorp) have been whining “Russia, Russia, Russia” ever since America’s de facto Third Party President Donald Trump humiliated Hillary Clinton last November. 
Funniest of all is how ALL OF THIS HAS BACKFIRED ON CROOKED HILLARY ONCE AGAIN! All of us rational people in the U.S. are laughing like hell at the way Democrat Party media outlets are acting like Manafort is a big deal. Not only was the man Trump’s campaign manager for barely a few months but the charges he’s been indicted for GO BACK BEFORE HE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP OR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN! 
“By “Russian hacking” of the election, they (the Democrats) mean that some Internet trolls from halfway round the world bought a few fake Facebook ads, half of which weren’t seen until after election day. For purposes of comparison, the one hundred grand these trolls spent to “interfere” in the US election works out at less than two per cent of what Hillary paid a high-ranking spy of a foreign power to interfere in the US election …and post-election.
Irma Hinojosa of Democrats for Trump and Latinos for Trump is yet another member of the real-world League of Extraordinary Women. 
“The Orbán Government has BUILT A FENCE on the southern border of Hungary because it’s an external border of the European Union’s Schengen Area. It was not simply “to tighten his border,” as they say, but to defend Europe and uphold treaty obligations, which include preventing illegal immigration into the EU.” 
RED CROSS COMPARES THE U.S. – MEXICO BORDER TO A WAR ZONE – Apparently the white collar criminals of the Washington D.C. Swamp are going to wait until Mexican Drug Cartel gunmen are trading shots inside the Alamo itself before they deign to acknowledge the druglord no-man’s land in the American Southwest. 
Nor do they care about all the additional crimes committed by repeat deportees who simply re-cross the border. Democrats consider all illegal immigrants to be voters for their political party, either with or without amnesty. AND the party’s big money donors want the flood of illegals to continue so that wages fall, padding their own financial bottom lines. 
Here’s another look at Left-Wing Archie Bunkers, or Faculty Lounge Fascists or whatever term you like for the make-believe “teachers” (LMAO) who have ruined the educational system.
