Another current events roundup by Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog.
PARTISAN HACK JACK SMITH ADMITS TO HIS TEAM MISLEADING THE JUDGE IN HIS TRUMP CASE WHILE TRYING TO RAILROAD THE OPPOSITION LEADER. Smith, looking nothing at all like a creepy child molester, continues his farcical prosecution. More about Jack’s career of sleaze HERE.
DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN HENRY CUELLAR AND HIS WIFE INDICTED ON BRIBERY AND MONEY LAUNDERING CHARGES. More HERE.
NEW YORK FIREFIGHTERS GLEEFULLY WELCOME POPULIST AND DE FACTO THIRD PARTY PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO THEIR STATION WHILE SHOUTING “Sir, save us please!” and “You gotta win!” Cheers met Trump signing the fire station’s daybook, too.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT RELEASED INTO THE COUNTRY BY JOE BIDEN’S REGIME HAS NOW BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED FOR KIDNAPPING AND SEXUALLY VIOLATING AN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL. Another crime on Biden’s head. Democrats, can you and your illegal immigrant heroes please leave children alone?
DEMENTED FORMER ACTOR ROBERT DENIRO COMPARES TRUMP TO (YAWN) HITLER, AS ALL IMBECILES TEND TO DO. The pathetic Deniro, who plays violent social misfits and predatory criminals in films (Maybe he’s just been “acting naturally?”) was smacked down and put in his place on social media with this reply post:
“Well, Trump was actually already president for 4 years and his policies bore no resemblance to those of Hitler, so this makes no sense.
“In fact, with the Abraham Accords, he made some progress towards peace in the Middle East, which was definitely not high on Hitler’s agenda.”
I will add my own note to anti-Trump psychopaths like this – Try reading a little bit of history and/or stop trying to self-aggrandize by pretending that your irrational and unhinged remarks about Trump are somehow equal to fighting Hitler. Deniro would likely be fearfully hiding from the real Hitler or helping him round up victims. Gutless phony. Deniro forgets that he lives in a pathetic world of make-believe, and his lips would be trembling and his eyes welling up with tears in any REAL LIFE conflict.
AND ANOTHER HATEMONGERING HOLLYWOOD DEMAGOGUE ALSO MINDLESSLY AND GROUNDLESSLY COMPARES TRUMP TO HITLER. Pathetic. Anyone who seriously thinks that any American president has ever been equivalent to Hitler should seek professional help. Continue reading
It’s been years since Balladeer’s Blog tried a post like this. I’ve had a few people saying I should weigh in on a certain situation but I’ve been maintaining that said situation is way too “Inside Baseball” for most people to care. Hell, I’m barely interested in it myself. 

For readers who are enjoying Balladeer’s Blog’s recent coverage of Women’s Intercollegiate Flag Football there are no scores to report today because the regular season ended last week. The playoffs begin on May 7th, so on the 8th I will have results to report on.
CAPITAO SETE (Captain Seven)
GUESSES AT FUTURITY – This was a series of nine full-page illustrations by THE Frederick Thomas Jane, the man behind the Jane’s manuals. He devoted as much attention to detail here as he would go on to do in illustrations of military hardware in later years.
I. HOME LIFE IN ANNO DOMINI 2000 (October 1894) – Jane depicted Brits of the “future” living in homes with very high ceilings. The interior decoration is decidedly eclectic while the wardrobe of these Brits is a kind of retro revival of Medieval clothing.
From the execrable Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy comes another current events roundup by 


FRANCOIS VILLON PART SIX – We pick up at the point in 1457 when the fugitive outlaw Villon found a warm and unexpected welcome in the court of Rene, Duke of Anjou. This figure was also known as “Good King Rene” because technically the crown of the Kingdom of Sicily was part of his royal inheritance.
ZACA – The Voodoo god of agriculture and the harvest, making him the patron deity of farmers and fieldworkers. Zaca is the friendliest and most approachable of the gods and may be addressed as “Cousin Zaca” if spotted in the fields.
Recently, a Balladeer’s Blog reader asked if I would compile a list of my “Best of” stories of the 1930s and 1940s pulp hero G-8 and his Battle Aces. That idea makes perfect sense considering I reviewed all 110 book-length stories of this World War One flying ace who should be as big culturally as Doc Savage, Zorro, and so many other pulp icons.
THE BAT STAFFEL (October 1933) – The very first G-8 pulp novel is at the top of my list. Not only does it nicely capture the tone and nature of the series, but it introduces the villainous mad scientist Doktor Krueger. That Teutonic terror would become the archenemy of G-8, Bull Martin and Nippy Weston as the series of novels rolled along.
