THE EAGLE (1925) – Valentino dabbled in Douglas Fairbanks territory as the masked hero of this tale set in Russia under Catherine the Great. Our man plays Vladimir Dubrovsky, a lieutenant in Czarina Catherine’s Imperial Guard.
Vladimir’s masculine heroics catch the eye of Catherine the Great (Louise Dresser), and she plans to make him her latest male conquest. She promises Dubrovsky a meteoric rise in the military … IF he climbs into bed with her.
The young officer declines the offer and rides off to avoid Catherine’s wrath. She puts a price on Vladimir’s head. The fugitive covertly visits his family estate, where he learns the land has been stolen from them by the evil nobleman Kyrilla Troekouroff.

Lifelong role model Jack Brewer, former NFL star turned successful businessman, courageously blasted the state’s Democrats for fomenting an insurrection and insisted that the reason they are mad is because ICE is “deporting their voters.”

AND DON’T FORGET ALL THE DEMOCRAT VIOLENCE IN MINNESOTA IS MEANT TO DISTRACT FROM THE MANY SCANDALS SURROUNDING TIM WALZ AND ILHAN OMAR. Elected Republicans, if you don’t find a backbone during all this, you will have proven once again that President Donald Trump 
RIN TIN TIN (1918-1932) – Here at Balladeer’s Blog, I’m even fonder of dogs than I am of silent movies, so this post will combine the two topics. Sadly, most silent films have become so little remembered that few people even realize that there actually WAS a real Rin Tin Tin, adopted by American soldiers during World War One.

FROM JUNE 20th, 2018 – Even Snopes had to admit that the Obama-Child Traffickers scandal from 2014 was true. I ran this item back in 2018 because back then Democrat hypocrites were as usual throwing fits about illegal immigrants and President Trump’s policies toward them. (Snopes link below.) 
Back then when illegal immigrants were marching about “family separations” under Trump I ran reminders and photos from Obama’s term of children carrying signs saying “Obama, don’t separate me from my mommy” as a reminder that the same policies were in effect under Obama as under Trump. But, of course Democrat hypocrites only made a big deal about “family separations” once Trump was in office.

RAGE OF THE BUCCANEERS (1961) – Montalban stars as 1600s buccaneer Captain Gordon aka the Black Pirate (no relation to 
Romero’s most dangerous ally is Captain Tortuga (Jose Jaspe), a ruthless slaver who has clashed with Captain Gordon over the years. Montalban shines as the hero viewers can’t help but cheer for, especially when he thwarts the efforts of slavers to dump their chained human “cargo” overboard to drown rather than have our pirate captain liberate them.
