The latest current events roundup from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.
ACTIVIST DAVID HILLIARD COURAGEOUSLY EXPRESSES HIS SUPPORT FOR DE FACTO THIRD PARTY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. He’s known Trump since Trump was a college student, the historical man of color stated. “Trump’s a friend of African Americans, and I knew Trump from the 1960s in New York, where he comes from, and he’s a friend to African Americans,” Hilliard continued. “I mean, he’s not a racist. He’s not a racist, fascist, white man. He supported Black people.”
THE NUMBER OF JOBLESS CLAIMS JUMPS UP YET AGAIN. Joe Biden’s policies continue to crush the working class and the poor.
GEORGIA COURT OF APPEALS SMACKS DOWN PARTISAN ANTI-TRUMP PROSECUTOR.
FINANCIERS BACKING A TEXAS-BASED STOCK EXCHANGE. The move of big money out of corrupt, partisan New York City after its political persecution of Donald Trump continues. More history in the making.
BIDEN REGIME ILLEGALLY GRANTS DE FACTO AMNESTY TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
UNFIT JOE BIDEN SOILS HIMSELF AGAIN DURING D-DAY CEREMONY AT NORMANDY. He also screwed up his speech and fell asleep, prompting his wife Jill to nudge him awake.

DEMOCRAT PARTY
ILLINOIS JUDGE RULES UN-CONSTITUTIONAL A DEMOCRAT-BACKED LAW WHICH WOULD HAVE PREVENTED REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FROM BEING ON THE BALLOTS IN NOVEMBER. The Democrats still prefer to try winning elections via unconstitutional means while pretending to care about “democracy.” #WALKAWAY from the fascistic party of the Democrats like so many of us already have.
ARIZONA JUDGE RULES THAT DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR HOBBS VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION BY APPOINTING THIRTEEN DEPARTMENT HEADS WITHOUT STATE SENATE APPROVAL. Such constitutional checks and balances are nuisances to the criminally minded Democrats in office.
CONGRESSIONAL HEARING REVEALS ADDITIONAL ARGUMENTS FOR WHY POLITICAL PARTISAN JACK SMITH’S APPOINTMENT AS SPECIAL PROSECUTOR WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Continue reading
Previously I examined Joel Chandler Harris’ 1902 story Flingin’ Jim And His Fool-Killer, set in Georgia in October of 1872, plus Ridgway Hill’s Facts for the Fool-Killer, set in and around Buffalo, NY in 1909. 
(Oh, and never forget that anti-Trump fascists acted like forcing Trump to release years of his tax returns was so important, yet the returns revealed he had done nothing wrong. Our corrupt elected officials then declined to have any other politicians reveal several years of their tax returns. It has only – and ever – been about “getting” the outsider Trump.) 

Here is my usual post-completion collection of chapter links, in this case for The Villon Legend. 





Okay, for overseas readers, let me mention once again that EVEN IF TRUMP IS SENT TO PRISON, HE CAN STILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT JUST LIKE EUGENE DEBS DID. Hell, such a provision was made possible by recognition of the fact that any incumbent administration could well turn out to be as criminal and authoritarian as the Biden Regime has proven to be and would jail political opponents. I never thought the hopelessly corrupt Democrat and Republican political establishment would allow Trump to win, anyway, and have said so in countless previous blog posts. I will still vote for him, though. It looks like my comparison of these situations
And remember: 
PART THREE – Trader Horn’s skills at bartering and deal-making with the indigenous people grew as he acquired more and more experience. His account always expressed his awe at the high populations of animal life throughout the region in the 1870s-1880s.
MELUNGEON VARIATIONS PART ONE
If he had, one possible source would be the Fool Killer figure from Melungeon folklore in East Tennessee and other Appalachian areas. Or, since we have no way of checking exact dates, Evans’ darkly satirical tales may have influenced the existing Melungeon lore since Melungeons at the time were scattered from Tennessee to North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia. 
And especially “Why are we forgiving student loans for people that go to Harvard? Which, according to Scott Galloway, quite accurately, is nothing but a hedge fund that has classrooms. Well, they got a $52 billion f*cking surplus. Why are taxpayers going to bail these people out? Why don’t you come out with a proposal to tax every university with an endowment of over $5 billion and use that money to give their former students relief?” 
THE CONFLICT – On August 22nd, 1898 Malietoa Laupepa passed away. He had been the ruling King of Samoa by agreements among the German Empire, Great Britain and the United States. With his passing, the U.S. and Great Britain supported the ascension of his son Malietoa Tanumafili to the throne. The Germans supported Mata’afa Iosefo, a former rival of the late king who returned from exile.
