NEWS ROUNDUP: SEPTEMBER SEVENTH

Here’s a Monday current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog here in an America where most of those unhinged women idolizing and cheering on Lindsay Clancy will likely vote in November.

ACTORS UNION PRESIDENT AND MANY DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS ARE FORCED TO EXPRESS AGREEMENT AND THANKS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR HIS TAX INCENTIVES TO STRUGGLING STUDIOS SO THEY CAN KEEP PRODUCTIONS IN THE U.S. And yet AGAIN we see that Trump is the real adult in the room for being willing to work with the people who are always lying about him and his every word and deed. I can’t picture any Democrat in office being willing to work with any of the media outlets which aren’t slanted in favor of their political party.

           Keeping jobs in the U.S. – even in an industry that forever launches unhinged and unfounded attacks on him – has long been one of Trump’s priorities. 

CITY COUNCIL OF DEMOCRAT-HELD DANBURY, CT WILL HIRE NON-CITIZENS AS POLICE OFFICERS. 2026 Democrats will do anything to spite actual citizens.  Continue reading →

ALAN LADD’S SWASHBUCKLER FILMS

Though Alan Ladd is associated mostly with Film Noir and Westerns he found the time for a few swashbucklers during his career.

THE BLACK KNIGHT (1954) – During the time of Camelot, King Arthur and Guenevere, a blacksmith and swordsmith named John (Alan Ladd) is in love with Lady Linet (Patricia Medina). John has no chance of winning her as a mere blacksmith, so he forges a special sword for himself and is covertly taught fencing, riding and jousting by a sympathetic knight named Sir Ontzlake (Andre Morell).

Meanwhile, treacherous Knight of the Round Table Sir Palamides (PETER CUSHING) has allied himself with Pagan Cornish ruler King Mark (PATRICK TROUGHTON, so two Doctor Who stars) against King Arthur. Sir Palamides is plotting to help the armies of King Mark overthrow Arthur and Guenevere, then outlaw Christianity. 

John the Blacksmith accidentally stumbles upon part of the villains’ schemes and tries to warn King Arthur but isn’t believed against the word of King Mark and a Knight of the Round Table. Sir Ontzlake helps the now fugitive John adopt a false identity called the Black Knight. Using that nom de guerre, Alan Ladd repeatedly foils the villainy of King Mark and Sir Palamides.

The Black Knight also saves Lady Linet from becoming a Pagan sacrifice by Mark’s sinister allies at Stonehenge. In the end the invading troops are defeated and John kills King Mark and Sir Palamides in battle. Lady Linet, who knew the Black Knight was John all along vouches for him to King Arthur, who knights him for real so that he and Linet can get married.      Continue reading →

FLASHBACK: POLL RESULT – FIFTY-FIVE PERCENT SAY PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN BETTER FOR YOUNG AFRICAN-AMERICANS THAN OBAMA WAS

FROM JUNE TWENTY-FIFTH OF 2019:

Trumping Obama's legacyIt’s no secret that Donald Trump is a de facto Third Party President, which is why he’s had to fight the crooks in both major political parties. Recently yet ANOTHER poll showed people recognizing the fact that President Trump has been better for young African-Americans than Obama was.

Remember, I’m skeptical of polls but anti-Trump loons eat, sleep and breathe polls, so it’s always fun to watch them froth at the mouth every time polls show a result they don’t like. Hilarious! Fifty-five percent of the respondents recognized that Trump was better for young African-Americans, as stated. CLICK HERE 

 

Donald Trump never called racist till running against DemocratsMeanwhile, regarding Africa, even anti-Trump zealots like Aubrey Hruby have been forced to admit that UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP AMERICA INVESTS MORE IN AFRICA THAN UNDER ANY OTHER PRESIDENT!

The cornerstone to Trump’s strategy is his Prosper Africa program. It’s just another way that the Donald is pretty much “the new FDR.” CLICK HERE  Continue reading →

TYRONE POWER’S SWASHBUCKLER FILMS

Tyrone Power was one of Hollywood’s top level heart-throbs and came from an acting family which had performed onstage since the 1700s. Here are his swashbuckler movies.

THE MARK OF ZORRO (1940) – Tyrone Power starred in this semi-remake of the 1920 Douglas Fairbanks classic. To me, nothing can top the Fairbanks version, but this Power effort comes a close second.

We all know the basics – Don Diego de Vega (Power) returns to 1820s California following his higher education in Spain. His father’s letters while he was away have made him pose as a meek and foppish aristocrat; the better to covertly fight California’s oppressors as the masked and costumed el Zorro – “the Fox.” 

Not even Diego’s father knows about his son’s dual identity, so he is just as contemptuous of the cowardly, buffoonish figure he pretends to be as everyone else. Eligible ladies of California look down on Diego, too, despite his family’s wealth. They all have the hots for the dashing Zorro who strikes the oppressors with his sword, pistols and whip, then vanishes into the night. 

Ultimately, Zorro gains enough popular support to topple the villains, led by Basil Rathbone. Linda Darnell plays Lolita, Gale Sondergaard is Inez and Eugene Pallette portrays Frey Felipe. 94 minutes. Continue reading →

FOOL KILLER PART SEVENTY-FOUR: OCTOBER 1914

Balladeer’s Blog continues its examination of the many facets of Fool Killer lore. FOR PART ONE, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT IN THE 1850s, CLICK HERE.

PART 74 – Some of the Fool Killer’s targets on both sides of the aisle in the October of 1914 edition of the folk figure. The World War is in full swing.

*** Dr. William F. Snow of the American Hygiene Association. The Fool Killer targeted Snow over his crusade against the unhygienic nature of kissing. Dr. Snow had just patented his weird Sanitary Kiss invention. That invention involved the pair of kissers using sanitized tissue paper over their mouths with a hole in the middle, looking for all the world like the kind of tissue paper we now place over toilets in public restrooms.

*** The editors of the Greensboro Daily News, who called for “less nonsensical” war songs compared to the past. The U.S. had not yet entered the war, so the country’s coverage of it was less than gripping at first.

*** President Woodrow Wilson, Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan and Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi for blaming the war for everything that the voters were holding them responsible for.

*** High Society Fashionistas for the way they seemed lost now that the war had prevented the release of the New Fall Line from Paris.

*** The “Redemocans”, one of the Fool Killer’s words for what we today call the Uniparty. He also called them Republicrats, a word we still use today. This month he depicted the Republicrat Devil driving honest outsiders out of politics by “setting all the political dogs on them and tearing them to pieces.” Continue reading →
