From Scrooge’s Rock and Roll Christmas, which I’ve previously reviewed here at Balladeer’s Blog, it’s Three Dog Night performing Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.

APRIL 2017’s BEST
Balladeer’s Blog’s Best of 2017 continues with the best from April.
NUMBER ONE – We have a tie at Number One – First, President Donald Trump, America’s first de facto Third Party President, has been doing more for the working class of ALL colors than the Democrats or Republicans have in decades. CLICK HERE
Second, an item about Left-Wing Archie Bunkers who refuse to join the 21st Century. CLICK HERE
NUMBER TWO – Up next on this countdown is my review of the Japanese horror film PSYCHO GOTHIC LOLITA (2010).
Blood, guts, silly jokes and almost non-stop action are – as always for J-Horror – present in this very entertaining film.
CLICK HERE
NUMBER THREE – Balladeer’s Blog often deals with the way Left-Wing Archie Bunkers from the 1960s generation distorted the educational system into centers for irrational thought.
Those Faculty Lounge Fascists abuse their positions by browbeating students to agree with their political prejudices. CAL-BERKELEY is their Nuremberg – CLICK HERE
NUMBER FOUR – Another movie review is in fourth place.
This time around it’s my review of the bizarre, horrific movie BEGOTTEN (1990). This is definitely a very unusual film that is definitely not for the squeamish.
For that review just CLICK HERE
NUMBER FIVE – Every day that Hillary Clinton is NOT President is great! My Hillary Clinton interview dealt with her defeat at the hands of President Donald Trump, the New Franklin Roosevelt.
For a Hillary Clinton interview the way it SHOULD go read HILLARY EXPLAINS IT ALL by clicking HERE

ANOTHER ROCK AND ROLL CHRISTMAS: GARY GLITTER
The Pope has vowed not to brush his teeth again until every one of you listens to his favorite singer Gary Glitter performing his old holiday song Another Rock and Roll Christmas.
So here’s one more Yuletide song getting a shoutout from Balladeer’s Blog.
And yes, Gary Glitter’s lip-synching coaches were clearly the same people who used to dub Japanese monster movies into English. He might as well have taken a long drink of water at times during this performance.
But I LOVE the song!

MARCH 2017’s BEST
I’m very, very ill today so here’s just a look at the Best of March here at Balladeer’s Blog.
NUMBER ONE – With the passing of eccentric actor Bill Paxton I wanted to do an appropriately weird movie of his to give him an authentic Balladeer’s Blog sendoff.
The movie I decided on was Paxton’s often forgotten flick TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN (1983).
The link to that film review is right HERE
NUMBER TWO – SJW’s are among the saddest and most pathetic people alive.
Though they are nothing more than petty informants whose only power comes from the higher authorities they run sniveling to, they laughably consider themselves to be “activists.”
To read SJW’s: LOSERS OR JUST FOOLS? click HERE
NUMBER THREE – In March I reviewed the 1888 novel A MEXICAN MYSTERY.
That work of Ancient Science Fiction was ahead of its time and dealt with a train engine so well-designed it achieved sentience and began attacking, killing and even feeding on human beings to fuel itself.
Long before Skynet, there was “the Engine.” Click HERE
NUMBER FOUR – Just as Balladeer’s Blog features Liberals moving on from that outdated label I also feature Conservatives moving on from THAT outdated label.
Here’s a self-described Conservative fed up with the likes of Karl “Miss Piggy” Rove, Kevin Williamson, George Will, Bill Kristol and the repulsive Bush family. Click HERE
NUMBER FIVE – Superheroes are everywhere these days.
Among Balladeer’s Blog’s most popular posts in recent years have been the ones dealing with neglected superheroes and superheroines.
For a look at the neglected CENTAUR COMICS SUPERHERO PANTHEON click HERE

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS: RELIENT K
Christmas Time rolls along with another Christmas Song. This time it’s The Twelve Days of Christmas by Relient K.

FEBRUARY 2017’s BEST
Here’s Balladeer’s Blog’s best from February.
NUMBER ONE – Since President’s Day weekend is in February it’s no surprise that the top post that month was my look at PRESIDENTS FROM EISENHOWER TO TRUMP.
I offered quick, light-hearted and critical shots at each one of those presidents. As regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know, I despise both the Democrats (DemCorp) and the Republicans (RepubCorp) so be ready. CLICK HERE
NUMBER TWO – One of my Ancient Science Fiction items came in second for the month of February, IN SEARCH OF THE UNKNOWN (1904).
This blog post looked at the series of short stories about Gilland the Zoologist. “If Indiana Jones Was A Zoologist” is a glib description of this collection of tales. The heroic Gilland encounters humanoid amphibians, woolly mammoths, dinosaurs which hatch from preserved eggs and go on a rampage, plus more. CLICK HERE
NUMBER THREE – My review of TRUMBO energized people on all sides of the issues as I examined the cosmic-level hypocrisy of the film.
The political left feels that Blacklisting people and ruining careers is okay when THEY do it, but reprehensible when anyone else does it. CLICK HERE
NUMBER FOUR – From the 1886 story THE MAN IN THE BLACK CLOAK I examined the title figure – a neglected forerunner of Pulp heroes like Judex and the Shadow.
For this forgotten serial from Boys of New York magazine CLICK HERE
NUMBER FIVE – Coming in in fifth place for February was this item about a female research fellow and her courageous examination of viewpoint harassment and discrimination on American college campuses by Faculty Lounge Fascists.

2017’s BEST: JANUARY
December is the month for retrospectives of the calendar year. Here’s a look at Balladeer’s Blog’s Best from January.
NUMBER ONE – It wasn’t even close! Far and away the most popular blog post from January was my examination of Jean de la Hire’s neglected Pulp Hero, the Nyctalope (“Nightwalker”). This cyborg hero debuted very early in the 20th Century – as in before World War One!
Years before Doc Savage and others, the Nyctalope (Leo Saint-Clair) battled world-conquering supervillains, alien menaces, lost Amazon civilizations, Far Eastern Blood Cults and much, much more! From Earth to Mars to Earth’s non-existent second moon called Rhea follow this criminally overlooked figure into action! CLICK HERE
NUMBER TWO – The ladies in the Real-Life League of Extraordinary Women always get a big reaction from readers and this entry was no exception!
The heroic Asra Nomani dove into the fray unafraid, confounding those Left-Wing Archie Bunkers who feel that ONLY Muslims who hate the Western World are “authentic.” For the blog post on this remarkable lady CLICK HERE
NUMBER THREE – Balladeer’s Blog’s reviews of bad and/or obscure movies are among my favorite pieces to write. For January the film review that stood out to you readers was this one:
No Survivors Please (1964) – A black & white sci fi curiosity from West Germany. The film dealt with an alien invasion but was – to say the least – different from virtually any other alien invasion flick. At least in presentation, if not in ideas. For the actual review CLICK HERE
NUMBER FOUR – Legendary Apollo Astronaut Eugene Cernan passed away in January of 2017.
In memory of this space pioneer Balladeer’s Blog ran a synopsis of Cernan’s Apollo 17 mission – the last Apollo flight to visit the moon.
As a bonus I examined five OTHER Apollo missions, too.
For all that moon-madness CLICK HERE
NUMBER FIVE – PAT CONDELL needs no introduction, and on Inauguration Day back in January I re-ran Pat’s Election Day 2016 monologue about how it HAD to be Trump. This post was very popular but I can’t take credit for any of it – it is ALL Pat’s material. BUT HE NAILED IT! CLICK BELOW TO HEAR HIM:

PAGLIA, SOMMERS AND SOME MORE TIRADES FROM FACULTY LOUNGE FASCISTS
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.
FIRST – A video featuring THE Camille Paglia and THE Christina Hoff Sommers reiterating how much damage has been done by the way the educational field was taken over by petty, close-minded political zealots.
SECOND – A USC Democrat “educator” who publicly discusses his belief that it is racist oppression to punish Democrats for acts of violence against people with whom they disagree. – (Video at the article) – HERE
THIRD – The Washington Post has this story about ANOTHER series of alleged “racist” graffiti incidents that TURNED OUT TO BE COMMITTED BY A DEMOCRAT OF COLOR – Click HERE

AMERICAN IDIOT ROUNDUP: OCTOBER 12th
New paradigms replace the old. It’s the way of life. The previous paradigm featured narrow-minded, reactionary parents clashing with open-minded educators who were trying to update the state of American education after decades of stagnation.
The new paradigm features narrow-minded, reactionary “teachers” (LMAO) clashing with open-minded parents who are trying to update the state of American education after decades of stagnation.
Enjoy another roundup of the pathetic state that American Education is in thanks to narrow-minded Left-Wing Archie Bunkers who can’t stop living in the past and who refuse to embrace anything new. And who abuse their position as teachers to browbeat their students into agreeing with their political prejudices.
A. THE INSANE NOTION THAT OFFENDING THE EMOTIONAL CRIPPLES WHO PRETEND TO BE COLLEGE STUDENTS IN AMERICA IS A FORM OF GENOCIDE: For a look at the Democrats pushing this absurd concept click HERE
B. THE WAY DEMOCRATS ENABLE MUSLIM MISOGYNY AND HOMOPHOBIA IN SCHOOL SYSTEMS AT ALL LEVELS. For a look at cowardly hypocrites crawling on their bellies but ONLY for Muslims who hate the West click HERE Continue reading
A Party In Crisis – Anti Trump Approach and Identity Politics Collapsing Democrat Party Support…
If you are only listening to corporate media presentations you would be left thinking the political strategy of Democrats against President Trump is working.
Except you would be wrong.
VERY wrong.
While the overwhelming majority of corporate media punditry and opinion broadcasts paint a picture of President Trump and the larger republican/deplorable party in retreat, the actual data, outside the influence of media, shows a completely divergent truth.
The Democrats are in serious trouble; and it’s only getting worse.
The latest self-admissions by the larger American electorate on Party Affiliation show the number of people identifying as Democrat has slipped to 28%. That matches the lowest number of registered democrats recorded in the past decade.
For comparison, in November 2016, just before the presidential election, the number of registered voters identifying as Democrat was 31%. Conversely the number…
